JONES IS STILL GAINING
PULLED UP THREE NOTCHES ON
HAYNES IN THE RECOUNT OF
VOTES THIS MORNING.

David P. Jones pulled up three more
notches on Mayor James G. Haynes
this morning, reducing the latter g gain
in the recount to 16 and increasing his
own plurality to 240. The feature this
morning was the astonishing accuracy
Of the returns in the sixth ward. The
referees expected q number Of minor
errors in the count and number Of
dubious ballots. Only one ballot in the
first nine districts was protested by the
attorneys representing the contestants.
No ballots were rejected by the refer
ees and seven Of the nine districts
showed identically the same figures on
the recount as were reported in the Of
fetal returns. In the one district
ninth district Jones gained two and
Haynes lost two. The sixth ward
showed the cleanest work by the judges.
The changes in the last five district Of
the eighth ward exactly balanced each
other 50 that Jones made net gain of
three votes on this mornings work.
At noon today the referees had re-
counted 90 Of the 1879 election districts
in this city. Mr.. Jones, with the ex-
ception Of the three known clerical err
rors, has gained over his opponent and
at the rate Of progress maintained until
today will have larger plurality after
the recount than was given him by the
canvaSsing board,

Phil Sheridan Brings Novel and Orig

Phil Sheridan and his "New City

burlesque to the Dewey this week. The
production has not been equalled so far
this season, either in musical or scenic
effects and the other, features are up to
the Standard, making we'll rounded
The show opens with short burletta,
<The Maids Of Siam,'' which affords
ample opportunity for the introduction
Of several new songs written especially
for this company. The chorus contains
many excellent voices, is gorgeously cos

career has been short, he promises to

musical speciality and are followed by
sixteen young women in silent drill.
The. olio provides several features of
merit. Adelaide Marsden, a vocalist of
much ability, sings several new illus

have an interesting acrobatic turn. The
Pan-American Four present an original

Requirements For a Physician.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle practiced
medicine before he began to write, and
in one of his scrapbooks he has a news
paper advertisement that he cherishes
because it shows well the low standing
of many doctors in the eighteenth CEN
fury. Sir Arthur clipped the advertise
ment from a newspaper Of the year
1877. 1t reads:
Wanted for family rot blessed
with good health, sober, discreet and
steady person to act in the capacity
Of doctor and apothecary. He must
often act as steward and butler, and oc-
casionally dress hair and wigs. He
will be required to read prayers, and
sometimes. on wet Sundays, to preach
sermon or two. A good salary will
be paid. and preference will be given
to such an one as, besides the above
qualifications, can mend clothes"

CHILDREN IN JAPAN.

Japan must be nice country for
boys and girls to live in.
They have lots of toys and great
fun in playing with them. What would
you think if you saw q little New York
girl sitting Gu the sidewalk baking little
cakes in a tiny stove with real oven?
You'd laugh That is what little Miss
Japan does and it seems quite proper.
She does not even have to buy Der
stove, but can rent it from a boy ped
der, and may keep it for whole hour
for little money.
The toy peddler also furnishes her
with lump of sweet dough, and as
there is always real fire in the stove,
she has only to make her dough into
little cakes and bake them, and after
wards eat them, which is not the most
unpleasant part of it all.
Often she has her dolls all about her,
for usually she has very large family.
They are all sizes and kinds, and
the little mother keeps them very care
fully, for in Japan the doll holds a very
important place. Indeed, there is a
special day. March 8, set aside and
called the Feast of Dolls" That is
joyful time, 1 can tell you, for every
little japanese girl And the boys?
Well, the boys have good times, too.
The kite is what they like best, and
such kites as they have! American
boys would open their eyes if they
could see them. Not only are they of
all shapes and sizes. but some actually
sing-that is, they make music like that
of an aeolian harp as they float in the
air.
Others look like animals but the
oldest of all are the fighting kites.

THE TRUE ROTATION.

Never have plants of the same kind,
or even of the same family, follow on
the same ground. Beans should not
follow peas nor melons come after
pumpkins. A plant that produces
above the ground, such as cabbage.
should be followed by roots crops, such
as potatoes, beets, turnips or carrots.
Clover, however, being entirely distinct
from grain, may be followed by wheat,
oats or corn, and potatoes, or turnips
may follow grain. The seed Of clover
is really small bean, hence it is Of lie
advantage to follow clover with beans
or peas, all being legumes. There are
no fixed rules, as the fertility of the
soil and the climate are to be consid-
cred. Some farmers by the liberal use
of manure and fertilizer grow the
same crops ON the same land every
year but it is not safe to do so except
under favorable conditions

These have their strings soaked with
glue, into which powdered glass has
been busted, for a distance of thirty
feet from the kite. When the glue har-

pulls his kite this way and that. until

FOR A PERMANENT PASTURE.

Sow some annual and biennial grasses
