DEL MONTE, Aug. 26.-The first day
of the race meet of the Automobile

The Club Among savaxes.

The club, or mace, was probably the
first, as it is the most universal. weap-
on, and every nation would seem to
have some form peculiar to itself. The
Maori spent years of labor in grinding
to shape his battledoor-like ''merai" out
Of jade or greensboro. The New Brit
ain savage makes q hole through
granite pebble by dropping water on it
while hot and thus forms the head of
his club. The Fijian found ready to
his hand a tree whose evenly radiat-
ing roots he trimmed into an exact
likeness of the medieval 'morgen-
STERN" wherewith the Swiss battered
down the Austrian ranks at Sempach.
The mace of the Persian horseman
was of steel, with head formed Of
six or more radiating blades or rid~es,
and had often basket hilt like
sword The terrible Mahmud of Ghaz-
nj. like the knight of Border song, "at
his saddle girth had a good steel
sperthe full ten pound weight and
MORE" and it was with this that he
shattered the idol Of Somnauth before
the eyes of the Mortified priests, strew-
ing the temple floor with the jewels
hidden within.-Chambers Journal

HOME TO VOTE.
President and Party Leave Washing
ton For Oyster Bay.

Washington, Nov. S.-The national
capital is practically deserted of quail
flied electors. From every department
OF the governments hundreds Of Off
eials and clerks have gone home to
vote, embracing the opportunity af-
forded by the election to take at least
part OF the annual leave Among
government employees the interest in
the contest has been greater than in
any election for many years.
Only two members of the cabinet.
Secretaries Hay and Morton, are in
the city. On account of his health,
Secretary Hay felt that he ought not
TO make the trip to Ohio at this time,
and Secretary Morton Is detained here
by important business in the navy de-
partment.
A special car for the accommodation
Of the president and his party was at
tached to the regular Pennsylvania
railroad train which left here for New
York at 1880 this morning. Mr.
Roosevelt was accompanied by Sec
Rotary Loeb and several White House
attaches who also will vote at Oyster
Bay. The president will remain in
Oyster Bay only long enough TO cast
his ballot, returning to New York In
time TO catch the IA train for Wash
ington.
Returns from the election will be re-
ceived by the president ut the White
House. The president will have as his
guests such members OF the cabinet as
may be in the city and few other per-
sonal friends. In addition to the re-
turns received in the regular telegraph
and cipher bureau at the executive Of
fees, important messages and bulle-
tins also will be received In the presi-
dents library at the White House.

Encke's Comet Seen.

Washington. Nov. S.-Encke's comet
was seen at the United States naval
observatory Sunday night and again
last night with the 12-inch equatorial
telescope. Its radiance, however, is so
feeble that as yet the comet is barely
visible in the telescope as a patch of
light, and several days perhaps will
elapse before accurate observations
can be made of it's position, which,
however, follows quite clearly the path
predicted for the return Of the comet.
It's distance from the earth and the
sun is rapidly diminishing, while the
apparent motion among the stars Is so
rapid as to be very perceptible in the
field Of the telescope during an hours
time.
