MR.. PAYNE'S ILLNESS
FORTUNATE TO OCCUR AT THIS
PARTICULAR TIME.
Bristow Report Seems to Have Caused
Quite Commotion Among
Members of Congress.

Postmaster General Payne is still con-
fined to his room with an attack of govt,
and, as one of his intiTHates, who called on
him today, remarked to him, he is lucky to
have 1t at this particular time, for the
swarm OF indignant congressman which is
fiocking into the Post Office Department is
gradually growing day by day. The Bris-
tow report seems to have caused a good
deal Of commotion in congressional circles,
and 1t seems that the gentlemen who were
named in that document as participants in
the Beavers dispensation of favors are of
the mind that they can vent their feelings
by personal call at the department that
has been the cause of their disgruntlement
They asked, nay. insisted, that they be fur
nished with a supplemental report of the
post Office investigation. and they got it.
Parable of the Bee.
One Of the officials of the department to-
day INDUCED in a parable of a child who
asked for humble bee, and when his nurse
refused 1t to him he set up a wall His
mother, hearing the cry of her progeny and
being dismayed thereby. called to the nurse
to learn what 1t was the child wanted
He wants bee, ma am was the reply
of the suffering nurse.
Then give 1t to him instantly" replied
the liuulScil UhOtIeT.
Presently wall which was as a volcano
to a zephyr compared with the first cry of
the spoiled darling. was emitted from the
throat of the terrible infant.
why don't you give him the bee?" de-
manded the indignant mother.
Il did, said the nurse.
Mr.. Bristow's Illness.
And SO the bee has been given to the
congressman who demanded it, and now
there Is a wall. 1t Is commented on in
other circles than those of the Post Office
Department that for case of grip the ILL
ness of Mr.. Bristow seems to be OBTAINING
him from his office for an unusually long
time. He has been down to look over the
furniture once or twice since he was taken
down. but not to do any work and is said
now to be too weak to think of returning
to his desk. There is no doubt of the de-
bilitating effects of grip, but 1t is also
fortunate for Mr.. Bristow's peace of mind
that, II he had to have it, he had 1t at
time when his office was being besieged by
the indignant victims of their own de-
mands. They seem to think that complaint
at the office from which emanated their
troubles will help matters, and although the
report plainly states that there was moth
ing criminal in their acts they seem to feel
the sting Of the lash that may cause them
many a hard1fought field in their coming
elections.

THE HOUR OF BATTLE
Ballot Boxes Tonight Will
Garry Joy and Sadness.
BOTH PARTIES CONFIDENT OFvICTORY
Presidential Election of 1904 Is Now
Before the Great American Jury
OF the Whole PeOpIe-Wagers
Total Two Millions.

NEW YORK, Ncv. S.-From the pol
iticians to the people, from the cam
paign managers to the voters, from the
s~pellbinders to the ballot boxes, the
presidential election of 1904 is now
committed. For months the leaders
have planned, for days and nights they
have schemed, and for weeks the peo-
pie have waited for today, when they
will make their choice.
Right up to the hour when all effort
had ceased the campaign managers Of
both parties confidently claimed sue
cess with a serenity which seemed re-
markable in view of the wide diver
gence of expressed opinion.
1t is not to be expected that any per-
son connected with a political cam
paign will surrender his right to claim
all doubtful states, and no one IN this
campaign, even privately or i'll conf
dence, is willing to concede. defeat.
The confidence of the managers is
shared by their followers, and on every
hand the stout declarations of parti-
sans for their party candidates are
heard. All is confidence, and tonight
the country will know who has been
right.
The betting on the presidential re-
suit was livelier than at any other time
during the campaign. 1t is estimated
that nearly 100000 were wagered on
the Broad street curb and in various
hotels.
The ruling odds were 6 to / on Roose-
welt on the general result, . to 1 that
Roosevelt will carry New York state
and 2 to l that Herrick will defeat
Higgins for the governorship. One bet
on the presidency was $4,000 to $500
One man offered $4,000 OF any part
of it at odds of 5 to / on Roosevelt,
without takers. The heaviest state
bet was $4,000 to $500 on Herrick.
Another Herrick bet was $4,000 to
$4,000. A Wall street house offered to
bet $1,000 ever that Roosevelt will
carry New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Indiana and West Virginia,
but there were no takers.
There was practically no betting on
the congressional result or the vote in
the electoral college. On national and
state issues it is estimated that S 2,000,-
600 has been wagered in New York
city.

GIVES RELIEF QUICKLY.
Regular Use Of Hyomei Cures Most
Stubborn Case of Caiarrh.

NJ other medicine gives such prompt
relief as Hyomei in the treatment of
catarrh.
The first breath of this remedy soothes
and heals the irritated and smarting air
passages, and the regular use for a few
days or weeks will cure the most stub
born case. Some of the reports of those
who have been cured of catarrh by Hyo-
mel read like miracles.
John s. Gray, Of Redmond Hills, Pa,
writes: II am so years old and have been
a sufferer with oatarrh in the head for 20
or 30 years. l have doctored with many
specialists and they all told me that the
disease was incurable on account OF my
age. After using Hyomei a short time
was greatly benefited and can now say
that4 am entirely cured. 1t has been six
months since | stopped using the remedy,
and | still remain cured"
The complete Hyomei on. at costs but
$1.00, consisting of an inhaler. dropper
and sufficient Hyomei to last several
weeks. This will effect a cure in ordinary
cases, but for chronic and deep-seated
eases OF catarrh longer use may be necck :
sary, and thea extra bottles of Hyomei
can he obtained fol SOC.
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered az to the powers Of Hyomei
TO cure catarfh is the fact that q. Al. Sax
ton VIII agree to refund the money IL sou
say that HNomci has not helped you.

ARE STILL
BARRED FROM VOTING.

New Brunswick, Nov. People
who are not on the registry lists now
cannot vote TODAY. The last chance to
get on the list expired at 3 o'clock
Saturday. the hour when the County
Board of Elections adjourned.
The afternoon session of the board
was as peaceful as a Sunday school

present all afternoon Now the vote
would stand two to two, the republi-
cans voting not to grant a certificate
and then the vote would stand two to
two, the democrats voting not to grant
n certificate. The warm arguments
seemed to have become exhausted
with the morning session.
Robert Adrain,ss acting as counsel
for the democrats, remained at the

final adjournment, Alan II. Strong,

II is probable that the students will
offer their votes today. Their names
are on one of the registry lists which
have been fled with the. election
board. Three is another registry list
of the same poll which does not con-
tain their names. Both books are
signed by two officers and it is argued
that one book is as good as the other.
The students will doubtless cast theil
votes, as American citizens, or find
Out in the courts why they were dis

1t is pointed cut that under the rule

two members of any election board
could disenfranhise any voter by sim
ply refusing to register his name. II
is also pointed. out that the election
board does not sit as q judicial body
to pass upon points OF law, bat as an
executive body to carry out the laws

IN NEW YORK.
Both Parties Lay Claim to h Em-
pire State.


pire State.
NEW YORK, Nov. Selection eve
finds both parties claiming the Empire
State. The leaders have taken the last
estimates of their committeeman and
have put forth their declarations, the
Democrats pinning faith to a state
ment by Charles Il: Murphy, leader of
Tammany Hall, that the vote for Par
ker in the Greater New York would be
the greatest ever cast for n Demo-
cratic candidate, while the Republican
view was. expressediby Governor Odell,
who said Parker's plurality in the city
would have to be better than 100000 if
he was to carry the state. Two years
ago Coler, the Democratic candidate
for governor, had 1921 800 plurality over
Odell i'll the city, but was defeated,
Odell having 130,S00 plurality in the
rest of the state.
d. Cady Herrict, the Democratic
nominee for governor, made a state
ment, in which he said:
Making very liberal discount upon
the rosy views that are always pre-
sented to a candidate, 1 firmly believe
that the Republican majority north of
the Bronx will be much less than ii
was two years ago.
Frank w. Higgins, Republican can
didate for governor, said:
II believe Roosevelt will carry this
state by over 100000 and that the Re-
publican state ticket will be elected"
The feature of the election in this
city promises to be remarkably close
watching of the polls.
With good weather promised the vote
cast will be the heaviest ever known in
New York city and perhaps throughout
the state.
Interest is at the highest pitch
known in recent years, and evidence of
this is shown in arrangements made
by the New York Central Railroad
company to have returns furnished
this evening to all its through trains at
such points as New York, Albany, Uti-
ca, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Nj
agara Falls, Cleveland and Chicago.

pected that about $1,000 ballots will be

CAMPAIGN IN NEW JERSEY
lost Aggressive Political Fighi
Since That of 1892.

Most Aggressive Political Fight
Since That of 1892.
TRENTON, N. j., Nov. S.-The New
Jersey political campaign just closed
was the most aggressive since 1892,
when the Democrats carried the state
for Grover Cleveland for president and
for George Werts' for governor. The
Republicans, so far as the presidency
Is concerned, entered the campaign just
closed with the prestige of a plurality
of $1,000 for Mckinley four years ago.
They are confident of carrying the
state for Roosevelt by from $4,000 to
10000. The Democrats are claiming
that Parker will have a small plural
ity, but surface indications do not
seem to warrant this claim.
The Democrats have made a strong
fight for Charles G. Black for govern
or on a platform for the greater taxa
ton Of railroads and are enthusiastical-
ly confident of winning. The Repub-
leans admit that Edward G. Stokes.
their candidate for governor. will run
considerably behind Roosevelt, but
claim that Mr.. Stokes will have from
10000 to 10000 plurality. A fair esti-
mate makes the governorship fight a
close one and the outcome q matter OF
some doubt.
