Elliott, 10.
The recount gave Quigley one less, and
Brown two less than the certificate. and
gave Tyre two less. W. j. Brown two
more and Elliott the same as the official

ment and stated that the count of the

dents of the district who voted for him.
He objected to counsel on the other side

in any other district where no contest had
been filed. He appealed to the chair and
Mr.. Willis said there was no contest in
the district beyond Third street bridge.
Mr.. Knowles spoke for the purity OF the
ballot and asked that the shellpot dis
trict be thrown out.
Arguments UnimFortant.
Mr.. Churchman in his argument init
mated that the affdavits did not amount
to anything and said he could go out in
most any district and get plenty of af-
fidavits in case of contest. He argued
against the committee going behind tn,

contest was disposed Of by a vote of 81
to 43. Before this was done, however

OF Christopher l.. Ward and Walter II
Hayes made arguments in the Elliott
Brown contest. Mr.. Ward asked that Mr.
/ Eniott's seventy afiidavits be accepte,
and accredited as votes. Mr.. Hayes con
tended that Mr.. Elliott's petition aslSe'
only for recount and that had ALREADY
been granted without materially chang
ing the result. He asked that the contes
be dismissed. The contest was dismissed
] Mr.. Brown said today that he had en-
tered into the contest because he felt tina
the interests Of the party demanded IL
and that his friends had urged him t
: contest for the same reasons. He as
sured Mr.. Quigley that he could not &

A SACRED TRUST.

The responsibility resting upon
the officers and managers of Life In
surance Company is not different from
that which Is assumed by the trustees
of individual estates. 1t has always
been the aim Of the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Company Of Newark,
N. j., to conduct its business in ac-
cordance with this conception Of the
sacred character Of the work and the
solemn responsibility imposed thereby
It best manifests its fidelity in keeping
steadily before 1t as the true object
i've, the maintenance of the highest Sc
curity, so that policy maturing thir-
ty or forty years hence will be as GER
tain Of payment as one falling due
tomorrow; and to endeavor by all
proper means to tighten the burden of
insurance, by making the cost as
small as is consistent with security.
Evidence Of the skilful and faithful
management of the Mutual Benefit Is
found in its exceedingly low expense
rate, and remarkably favorable NOR
tality rate extending over the whole
period Of its existence-nearly sixty
years.
1t is all right to listen to the other
fellows stories and examine their con-
tracts; but you will be doing yourself
an injustice II you sign an application
or accept and pay for their policies
before you know about the Mutual
Benefit and what it can and Will
GUARANTEE you.

THE MYSTERIOUS PosTscRIPT.-Some
years ago tom" Taggart Of the DEM
ocratic National committee, had occa-
sion to write to an active political
worker in a distant part Of Indiana,
giving him timely directions concern
ing the campaign then in progress
Mr.. Taggart's typewriter was absent
so he penned the letter in person
though we'll aware that his chirogra-
ply belongs to the Horace Greeley
school. He wrote carefully on this oc-
:casion, however, it being a very I'M
portant communication, and thought
there would be no difficulty. A week
later his correspondent was in Indian
apolis and called.
Did you get my letter? Could you
read it?" was Mr.. Taggart's greeting
II got it all right" replied the man.
"and didn't have any trouble with any
of it except the postscript. That stuck
me. Showed it to everybody In town
same result; they all read the letter
but fell down on the postscript"
The man drew the letter from his
pocket and handed it to Mr.. Taggart
who gave 1t one quick glance.
Great guns!" gasped Tom, 1.-The
postscript says. Don't let anybody see
this letter!"

Serve the Sultan.

noU0unCo NituTcu VHo fNTO FoTSoo "
Serve the Sultan.
Worshippers Of Baal and of The Devil
are still found in one Of the Turkish
provinces, writes an army officer who
has lived among them. The Yezidees,
or devil worshippers, are an extraor-
dinary people, and, although forced by
the laws Of conscription to serve in
the Ottoman army, the seizure Of one
or more of their young men by a Turk
ish recruiting party is such a dis
tressing spectacle that, once witnessed
it can never be forgotten.
Walls and yells Of despair are rails
ed. Men, women and girls kiss the re-
cruit's eyes, cheeks, mouth and hands.
Throwing themselves on the ground
they even embrace his legs and feet.
The conscript appears quite dazed
with sorrow. He folds in his arms
and caresses over and over again his
weeping kindred, whom he will never
see again. He kisses the walls and the
hearth Of the cabin in which he was
porn, Dut Whlch ne Is ABOUT TO quit
forever, and vets them with his tears;
but when, accompanied by his Turkish
captors. he leaves the village, the lam
entations of the villagers cease
Then, as though nothing had hap
pened, the latter go about their ordi-
nary occupations. Never again Is the
conscript's name mentioned; and on
joining his regiment, the young Yezi-
dee becomes Mussulman. His kim
dred, believing him accursed, affect to
forget him; and were he to approach
the village from which he has been
forcibly dragged away, every Yezidee,
even his dearest friends, his father,
mother, brothers. sisters and sweet
heart, would drive him from their
presence with curses and pelt him with
stones.-New York Mail.
