All the Employees Rushing
Home to Vote.
THE INTEREST KEEN
At Democratic and Republican Head
quarters Of the Congressional
Committees Both Parties Ex-
press the utmost Confidence
in the Result.
in the Result.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. IA few hours
before the balloting in the Presiden-
tial contest finds the National capitol
PRACTICAL deserted of all qualified vo-
ters. From every department of the
government hundreds of officials and
clerks have gone home to vote.
Among government employees the in
terest in the contest has been greater
than in any election for many years.
The President will go to Oyster Bay
to vote leaving tonight at 1890 ana
returning tomorrow evening. That
the President is confident of the re-
suit of the election no one who talks
with him can doubt for q moment. All
callers on him to-day found him in
the best of spirits and, without an
indication of nervousness or anxiety,
he discussed the result of the election
as calmly as if he were not prin-
cipal in the contest.
The President reiterated the state
ment made by Chairman Cortelyou.
that the campaign for his election had
been conducted on the lofty plane OF
principle and patriotism and that. IL
elected, he would enter upon the du-
ties of his high office on the 4th Of
next March without having made a
promise or entered into an obligation.
that in the least way would embarrass
an honest man in administering the
affairs of the nation in the interest of
all the people of America.
Returns from the election will be
received by the President at the Wh(e
House. Then addition to the returns
received in the regular telegraph and
ci her bureau at the executive Of
fees, im~ nrtant messages and bullte-
tins also will be received in the Presi-
dents library at the White House.
At the headquarters of the Demo.
cratic congressional committee in the
Riggs House, Secretary Charles A Ed
wards will receive the returns from
various States and from Democnltic
National headquarters in New York.
All of the local political organizations
have arranged demonstrations in the
event of the result conciding with
their views. A big torch light process
sion and serenade to President Roose-
Welt has been projected by the Re-
publicans in the expectation of his
election. Should judge Parker be,
successful the Democratic clubs will
parade the streets with tiambeaux and
| brass bands.
At the headquarters of both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties to-
night the utmost confidence is ex-
pressed as to the outlook. This con-
Iidence is substantially expressed in the
betting on the result which has been
| heavier in Washington than ever has
been known. The odds on the general
| result are five to one in favor or
| Roosevelt, but many wagers nave
! been made at shorter ODDS.

Rev. N. M. Jurney Pass
ed into the Beyond Sun
day Night.
He Was Widely Known and Had Led
an Active and Usefnl Life Always
Taking Interest in Civic and
Religious Progress.
Especial to News and Observer)


Mt Olive, N c., Nov. THE peo-
Pie of the State will hear, with deep
sorrow that Rev. Nathaniel M. Jurney
is no more, his mortal career having
ended last night about midnight,
when his soul took it's flight to dwell
III the Great Beyond. His death was
sudden and came as a great shock TO
the people of our town this morning,
where he was lovaI, honored and es-
teemed.
The deceased had been in declining
health for several months, but did not
regard himself as i'll enough to call
cn a physician.
Sunday afternoon he was taken
suddenly i'll. The best medical skill
Of our town was summoned, but their
every effort to revive the suffer-
er was vain, and at about midnight
he expired. Diagnosis We're not very
clear, but the attending physicians re-
gard his death as due to brain
trouble.
He was born at SLOAN, Surry coun-
ty, January 11th, 184S. In the year
1872 he entered Trinity College, from
which he graduated with high honors
in the year 1876. Soon after that time
he entered the Methodist ministry in
which he was actively engaged until
y
| here. During his active career he was
agent for the Braxton Craven Me-
| morial Hall and did valuable service
| for that cause. The deceased was a
| member Of the Board of Trustees of
| Trinity College. December 14th, 1886,
| he married at Beaufort Miss Belle
Sabiston, by whom he is survived. He
| leaves one little daughter, Eva, and
| two sons, Braxton and n. NJ. Jr., both
of whom are under the age of sixteen
years. He also leaves three sisters.
| Mrs. L. n. Simpson, of TurnersVille,
| n. C.; Miss Ben. Rich, of Robson,
| CAL: and Mrs. r. C. Rivers. OF Boone,
| N. c.; and three brothers, DIR. +. =.
Jurney, of Turnersville, n. c.; 5. X.
Jurney, of Mount Olive N. c., and w.
| r. Jurney, of Boone. n. c. His careH'
has been one of brilliancy and great
| usefulness, and the memory OF ms
work will remain throughout the COM
! ing years.
During the past few years, while
not actively engaged in ministerial
work, ne was seldom known to refuse
a call to fill a vacant pulpit, assist IN
| meetings, etc. His rare powers as an
| orator and preacher caused him TO be
| sought after far and near. His was
| useful fe.
His remains will be inferred here
| tomorrow afternoon, after the arrival
/ of relatives and prominent people
from different parts of the State.
| Mr.. Jurney was cnce a resident of
/ Raleigh and was lirst pastor of Per-
| son Street Methodist church-now
| Central church. AS long as he was
| in the active ministry Mr.. Jurney held
/ important stations in the conference
and was leader in church work. He
was n fine business man and made
4 inf oct
ir politics and was long influential
| in Democratic circles. Many friends
will learn of his death with deep re-
gret.

HER MATRIMONIAL CHANGES
Five Suitors in Twenty-Five Minutes Was the Proud Record of
 This Woman.

There is childlike simplicity about the peasant folk of Montenegro. A woman who has travelled among them says that both men and women, on her arrival, asked her, with perfect frank ness, the most personal questions. When she explained that she had come by train and steamboat, the inference was that she had great wealth, relates Youths Companion.
 And you have come so far to see us? Bravo! Are you married?"
 .tNo," said the traveller.
 There was great excitement and much whispering.
 ssWait! waiti'' cried woman. Then, at the top of her voice, she shouted: '.Miloshl Nilosh!"
 A tall, bronzee boy about IS years old, edged his way through the crowd. His mother stood on tiptoe, and whis- pered in his ear. He looked coy, and ltwiddled his fingers.
 "Ask heri ask herl" cried men and women, encouragingly.
 Milosh plucksd up courage, thumped Ihis chest and blurted out:
 Wilt thou have me?'.
 
 s'No, thank you" said the traveller, laughing. and Milosh, much relieved, retired, amidst the jeers of his friends.
 MilOsh, thou art not beautiful enough, said the men,
 Then they suggested Gavro, as being more likely to please. Gavro made his offer. and was smilingly rejected.
 The crowd was enjoying itself vast ly, and took much pains to provide the lady with 8 really handsome suitor. She, on her pat, looked about, and chanced to catch the eye of a goodly youth
 'Nol mol" cried woman, seizing his arm. "He's mine! he's mine!"
 Amid shouts of laughter he was withdrawn from competition, then an- other youth said frankly: 'I have no money, but perhaps you have enough g
 And he Is good and beautiful" his friends hastened to add.
 But he, minis turn, was rejected, and the enthusiastic crowd pushed forward another candidate. Five suitors in 20 minutes made, the traveller thought, a @oble record.
