Extracts from Election Laws.

Now that election time draws near
and the political bee il onee more
huzzinE indnstrionsly, few points
on what man may do nnd must not
do is not out of place. Very few peo-
pie are acquainted with the reguln-
tions bearing on conduct at the polls,
and some of the following provisions
may be surprising:
The members of the district board
of registry and election on election
day have the same power as II conata
bic IN the preservation of order nj
the polls. They have the power to
commit n man to lnil for n period not
exceeding three days, by an order in

lawful commands aud disturbs the
proceedings Mt the election, and the
| sheriff is obliged to execute any such
order to arrest issued

| ed for destroying or mutiating any
certificate of election for frndulent
purpose, for revealing how any eiti.
zen voted, for refusing to permit n
legally entitled voter to east his bal.
lot, for knowingly recelving the vote
of man not qualified to vote, and
other Oilenses of n like character.
There are n number of general of
lenses where penalties cnn be impos-
ed in connection with nm election.
The selling OF liquor on election day
during the time of the holding of
the election ~ not lawful, and any
person bringing liquor into the poll
ing place during the election while
the voting is going ON or the votes
are being counted can be held liable
therefore.
IT is also unlawful TO carry an oni-
cial envelope from the polling plnce
during the election, and n voter who
prepares his ballot and then dacloses
the contents 80 that anyone in the
polling place can read the contents,
can be punished for this net. A voter
is not allowed to place any mark on n
ballot to identify it, and anyone who
is allowed to procure the vote of II
friend for his candidate by promising
to give or secure for him any employ
ment or getting him to refrain from
voting under like inducement. 1t
ia not lawful for voter to enter into
snch an agreement on his part either
An employer is liable to be punish
ed who threatens to inflict, or does

At Colonial Tonight.

Among the bevy of bright, clever
and pretty young women with which
the cast of that successful farcical
comedy, "Alice, Where Art ThOu?"
by H. ]. W. Dam, which will be pre-
sented at the Colonial Theatre this
evening, none has more fairly earned
the right to the prominent place she
holds on the stage than has Miss
Nellie NJ. Grant. AS the Vaudeville
Girl Miss Grant utilities the exper-
fence gained in several years spent in
that branch OF stage entertainment,
an experience which covered q trip
around the world and included stay
of some months in the gold fields Of
South Africa. While there the mem
pers of the company of which she was
the star, visited one of the Zulu res
erVatioDs surprising the natives in one
of their gambling games which is car
ried on entirely by the use OF signs.
Quick to see the novelty Of adding
some of the Africans peculiarities to
her repertoire, Miss Grant rehearsed
the company in the queer motion Of
the aborigines, fitting them to the
strains of the song, "Sunny Africa. :"
A few nights later the Zulus attended
the performance in body and when
they saw themselves so cleverly MIN
licked, their excitement could scarcely
be retained. One big chief with a
nose ring as big as an embroidery
frame, was so taken with Miss Grants
skill at his favorite game, that he
offered to make her wife No. 81 on
the spot.

tory this morning on the college cam.
pus by defeating the Gallaudet Deaf
and Dumb College team of Washing

det's only touchdown was made near
the end of the second half.
In the first half st. Johns scored
one touchdown, Smith carrying the
ball over. Green kicked goal The
ball alternated between the two teams
during the rest of the half. In the
second half the first touchdown was
made by jackson for st. Johns, who
carried the ball eight yards ON a de-
layed pass. Green kicked goal. Score
1910. st. Johns secured the ball on'a
punt soon after the kickoff and soon
carried it over for another touchdown,
Smith again doing the stunt. Green
missed this goal. Score 40.
For a second time st. Johns kick
ed off and secured the ball on fun
BILE and started down the field. When
inside of the 10-yard line ST. John IS
fumbled on the third down and al
though Hopkins fell on it, the dis
tance was too great to make in one
rush and the ball went over. Gallau-
det, by steady rushes and end runs,
in which the st. Johns quarterback
distinguished himself by his tackling,
carried the ball down the field for a
touchdown, Robertson carrying the
ball over. Mikesill kicked goal. Score
II to 8.
This ended the scoring. FumblinR
was feature of the game both sides
indulging in this TO a great extent.
Smith and Staley made the best gains
for St Johns. Smiths hurdling was

years. Rouse played fine game al
end, and Jackson also distinguished
himself at right half back. The next
