Blue Prints.

Two prominent business men of Jack
son, friends of long standing, undertook
to make some blue-prints. One sue
ceeded, the other failed at first. The
successful one started to laugh, when
to his surprise his friend gesticulated
with his right, striking him squarely in
the eye, demonstrating that he could
not only make blueprint but could
also mix little black with it. Each
one is now satisfied that the other
thoroughly understands his business.

G. G. D. Examination.

Fifteen girls and one lonely boy ap-
peared before Geo. A., Gordon at the
public school building Monday, for the
purpose of taking their final G. G..
examination. While to older persons
the questions might appear quite easy,
no doubt the young students thought
them exceedingly difficult. Any ques-
ton is puzzling to nervous, excitable
applicant, and examiners should not
expect too much of boys and girls at
their first public examination.

Must Hang.

Escape Eldrige, who was recently
tried for murder in Judge Hart's court
in Sacramento, was convicted, and has
been sentenced to receive the death
penalty, Eldrige is the man who took
Guard Seavy's clothes. Seavy gave
damaging testimony at the trial, which
materially assisted in his conviction.
Eldrige gave Seavy a history of his
travels while at large, and acknow-
lodged that he stood at the door of
Norman s trap more than once. The
escape was given away by an ex-convict
whom he had befriended on many Oc-
casions. He seemed to be reconciled
to his fate, and expected no mercy at
the hands of justice.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The current show at the Jacques is certainly well up to the Poli standard. whether considered with reference to any or all of the four special feature. acts or as whole, and the attendance at the theater has shown excellent fig ures all the week. The Three Joscar- rvs, who head the bill with their Eu- ropean gymnastic novelty, have ere ated something of q sensation. 1t is seldom one sees q group of athletes who can temper their marvels so well with comedy, their act being quite IS much q laugh maker almost as sell satioll producer. It Is just such an act as one must look to the European school to provide, and it is little won der it is causing talk on all sides as an act of rarely interesting character. Klein, Ott Brothers and Nicholson are holding their own, too, with their splendid musical act, while Mitchell and MarTon, the minstrel boys, are de- lighting the audiences with their fine singing and funny jokes. MT and Mrs Gardner Crane are renewing former. successes with their amusing comediet- ta Am I, Your Wifeg' and the laughter is kept continuous by Bessie May Hall, Jacobs and Van lyle. John Zimmer and electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 2b cents, ladies 10.

TEACHERS PLAY FRANKS.
Girls Get Gay With. the Long Suffer
 ing Register!


 Forty-one candidates for teachers. certificates were examined at the Cap itol last week, morning and afternoon sessions being held. There is evidence that the minds of some of the young women were not confined to exami- nations, as they seem to have got i'll their deadly work on the much abused Capitol register, which Is much usec by children and occasionally by q vis- itor of importance. An inspection of the entries in the register might have convinced the inspector who did not go behind the returns tha. colony of Greeks had invaded the building. as entries were made in the language which though dead, yet speaks.
 One of the entries may have indl, cated that the writer did not expect to pass the first time. as it read, Mrs Call Again Same, Examination avenue, Peru while another advertised for q husband i'll the words, z Mrs Would Like to Be, Future st., India" No di. agram was furnished to show whether '.st's meant street or state.
 Perhaps the girls will put ill the plea that some horrid man committed the acts with which they are charged and which in the days to come will be looked upon as punishable offenses if committed by their pupils.

Port Arthur Garrison Now Believed
 In Extremis.
 LONDON, Nov. 3.--St Petersburg advices this morning say that there is considerable anxiety there over the military ysituataon Little news has been received from Mul1den, General Sacharoff's report merely indicating that matters were at deadlock around Shakhc. The Japanese have made some tentative moves on both Hanks, which were checked, but there are no signs yet of general advance by their army.
 Foreign reports from Port Arthur are decidedly gloomy While the au- thorities continue to profess confidence in General Stoesseps ability to hold out, the popular feeling is that the he roic garrison, which already has made a historic defense, must now be near the limit of human endurance.
 A Vladivostok report says that great excitement has been caused there by the arrival in port of a number of com mercial vessels with much needed sup plies. There has been heavy snow storm, and winter is setting in. Most of the naval attaches have already left Vladivostok: General Artamanoff, chief of division, who has been quartered there, has left.

CANADIAN ELECTORS.
Are Deciding Several Imy tan
 Questions To-Day.

St John N B., Nov 3.-The electors of Canada are deciding to-day whether the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier will be continued in office and whether the Grand Trunk Pacific Go shall be permitted to construct a tranScontin- ental railroad, largely supported by the federal treasury. The campaign has been an active one, and although the indications at times have pointed to the return of the liberal government by reduced majority in the house Of commons. a number of confusing ele- ments have made the outcome uncer- tain. The liberal majority in the late parliament was 54.
 The leading issue in the campaign has been the Grand Trunk Pacific pro- iect. The conservative party, led by Robert l.. Borden of Halifax, maintain that ocean freight traffic over the pro- posed road during the months that the St Lawrence river is closed to naviga- ton will be shipped to Portland. Me, and Boston instead of to this city and Halifax. Portland is the Atlantic ter minus of the Grand Trunk railroad, whose directors are the promoters of the Grand Trunk Pacific enterprise
 The liberal party is depending large ly on the prosperous condition of the country. believing that government is never overthrown by the electorate during good times. 1t also relies on strong support in Quebec province, where out of 65 members of the last parliament from that district nearly 60 supported Premier Laurier, The con seryatiyes have been claiming they would elect 20 or 25 members in Que bee to-day and it is believed that the success or failure of their efforts in that province will decide the result at large. Since the last election J. Israel Tarte. one of the liberal lieutenants, has resigned his seat in the Laurier cabinet, and is an opponent of the gov ernment. though not actively partici- pating in the election.
 In this province, the resignation of Andrew c. Rlair as minister of rail- ways and canals, as protest against the railway plans. and the defection of the leading liberal newspaper in St John have complicated matters The election of Dr J. W. Daniel and Dr A. A. Stockton, conservatives, as members for St John, is expected by their party which claims 1t will have a majority of the 13 members allowed the whole province. In the last cleo tion the liberals carried St John by about 1000 majority and elected seven additional members in the rest of New Brunswick.
