Children Die of Strange Plague.

A dispatch from New York says: Seven
children have died within the last few days
and many others are Ill of a new and mys-
terious disease which is ravaging the neigh

1OSth street. 1t is said that there are fif-
teen or twenty other cases of the disease
In the new Mount Sinai Hospital, which is
not very far from the afflicted district. and
that there have been at least that number
of deaths from the same cause. besides

children have died within six or eight hours
after being attacked. Very few have lin
gered more than twenty-four hours.
"In my opinion the disease, which In
many respects shows symptoms like those
of spinal meningitis, while in others It is
quite different. is due-to the liberation of
germs from old lighthouses which are being
renovated and remodeled for stores on the
ground floors" a. -
The most distressing feature of the
malady is its awful quickness. Before the
physician can fully study the case the sick
child is dead. The disease seems chiefly to
affect children who are noticeably bright
and intelligent.

Got the Wrong Phone.

Superstitious politicians have been hav-
ing great sport today because of peculiar.
and some of them claim prophetic. coinci-
dence which happened yesterday. A friend
of Mr. Hearsts had occasion to communi-
cate with him, and. going to the telephone,
called for Main No 81
Hello" answered some one at the other
end of the wire.
Hello" responded Mr. Hearst's friend
us this Mr.. Hearsts headquarters
There was an ominous silence and q
strange sound came through the phone as
IL an earthquake or some terrific catastro-
phe had disturbed the atmosphere at the
other end. Ultimately this sound evolved
into a roar of laughter, and Mr.. Hearst's
friend was astounded by the following
reply:
rs this Mr.. Hearsts headquarters? Well.
not by long shot. You're a bit previous.
old man. This is the White House.
And today all of Mr. Hearsts friends are
wondering whether 1t is right to believe in
signs.
Another incident to show the general con-
fusion which usually precedes an election
is found In circular letter sent out by the
democratic election commission to each OF
the recently appointed judges of election.
The pertinent portion of the letter follows:
Dear Sir:
THE judge of election who has been se-
lected to serve with you in your district
1T is of great Importance. il you have
not already done so. that you arrange to
meet him at the earliest hour for the pur-
pose of selecting third judge to act with
you. l am sending him a letter similar to
this"
Because of the absence of the name of
the other Judge, there has been scramble
among the recipients of the epstles to be-
come acquainted with their respective CO.
workers. Some one forgot to fill in the
blank spaces.

DISQUALIFICATION
Delegates to Be Voted for
This Evening.
NORRIS AND HEARST
THEIR FRIENDS TO STRIVE FOR
THE MASTERY.
Both Sides Confident and the Outcome
Cannot Be Predicted-The
Norris Candidates.

From o'clock this afternoon until 10
o'clock tonight the democrats in the District
of Columbia will wage fierce battle at the
polls; the forces of William Randolph Hearst
will clash with their opponents. and a battle
royal will ensue. Tomorrow the peace-lov-
ing residents of the national capital will
revert to their former political lethargy. the
cobwebs which have gathered on the plows
and the picks and the pgeonholes during
the last few weeks will be brushed away
and the city will settle down to its sum-
mer's sleep. The local republicans have
had their day in the political arena, have
fought their fight and have departed. The
vanguard of the democrats is approaching.
and the smoke of conflict will not have
cleared away until the dawn of tomorrow.
Whether Hearst wins or loses. the progress
Of the District of Columbia will continue.
unimpeded. and the welfare of the Amer
lean people in no way will be endangered
What was true in the republican camps
Monday is true in the democratic camps
today; both SIDES are equally confident Of
the laurels of victory and will go to the
polls assured of an Overwhelming majority.
Which side has made mistake can better
be ascertained tomorrow, after the returns
are completed.
The Norris forces have made great capt.
tai out of the split in the Hearst support.
and are counting on at least thousand
votes which week ago unquestionably
would have gone to the New York candi-
date. Notwithstanding current reports. the
Hearst managers claim the split has been
healed and they say solid Hearst front
will be presented. Mr. Norris is contend

presidential nominee open until their vote

prove to be the peoples choice, they can
vote for Parker, or they can swing to the
banner of any dark horse who may show
his head above the political sea. If the
Hearst men win the six delegates will go
to the convention pledged to the absolute
and exclusive support of William Randolph
Hearst. AT a late hour this afternoon nc
