Baltimore, Nov. An unusually
heavy negro and foreign vote was poled
early this morning against the amend

BY majority variously estimated atfrom
10, 900 to 20, 1000. This majority will De
vastly reduced by the fact that large
number OF republicans are secretly yot-

majority not over 5000 against the
amendment, the counties, where the feel

strong, will, it is believed, carry the
measure.

Both sides claim victory. The election
in the state centers on the Senatorial

"The Eternal City"

"The Eternal City will be the attrac- ton at the Jefferson theater tonight, to- morrow matinee and tomorrow night.
 The play was in Atlanta recently. and the Constitution of last Saturday said of the play and performance:
 ''rhe Eternal City" began its engage ment in Atlanta last evening before one of the largest audiences that has visited the playhouse this seeson.
 It is Hall Gaines dramatization of his great novel. It Is the kind of play that sends one strolling homeward through the night with only cigar for company and with a feeling that one wants to do nothing else for a while but conjure back the scenes of the play There is much thought in a play like "The Eternal City" There was the pope.

"Babes in Toyland."

Babes in Toyland, production which drew immense crowds to the Jefferson last year with Little Chip and Mary Marble in the leading roles, drew two good houses yesterday afternoon and last night. Several of the members of the former company appear In their old parts or in new and better parts this year.
 As a scenic production Babes in Toy land' is very much as it was last year, although there was probably some i'm provement in the appearance of the cos tunes.
 Arthur Conrad essays the part of Alan. that which was played last year by Lit tie Chip. To large extent Conrad copies from Chip without having as much abili- ty as the former star in the part Marie Fanchonetti. an old Bijou favorite, and one of the principals in last years com pany, has Mary Marbles part, that of Jane She Is very acceptable indeed. She is good singer and graceful dancer. but has little opportunity for displaying the latter accomplishment in this part.

cAEEEY.HuNT,

A wedding of interest in Birmingham society was that of Miss Lizzie Olive Hunt and MT. William H. Caffey, which took place in Columbus, Ga. Both the bride and bridegroom are we'll known in Birmingham. Miss Helen Mushat of Blr- mingham was one of Miss Hunts brides maids. The Columbus Enquirer has the following account of the wedding:
 The social event of the past week was the beautiful wedding of Miss Lizzie Olive Hunt and MT. Williams H. Caffey on Tuesday evening. The ceremony took place at the home of the brides parents Mir. and Mrs. William Perry Hunt, on up- per Second avenue at o'clock, as the young people were to take an early train for North Carolina, to tour the Sapphire country.
 The lower floor of the residence was entirely thrown open. making ample space for the large number of guests All the reception rooms and the hall were exquisitely decorated In cut flowers gar | lands and handsome foliage plants, and | it was indeed bower of beauty and frag- rance, especially the room prepared for the ceremony. In this a dais had been
 built several feet above the level of the | floor and extending across the entire south
 end of the room including the mantel.
 This mantel afforded special advantages for decoration which was fully taken ad-
 vantage of, for the white carnations and
 maiden hair fern were massed upon It.,
 while here and there large bowls of the white lily called the Angels Trumpet were placed. The wall spaces were garlanded and on the dais were a number of tall, elegant palms. and across the front was
 little railing formed of smilax inter- spersed with boquets of small, white flow | CTS tied with white ribbon.
 | The bridesmaids were Miss Sadie Hunt, Loula Moore and Miss Alice Bradley. The matron of honor Mrs B. D. Watkins of
 Atlanta, next appeared gowned in the
 same fashion and carrying the same flow | CTS as the bridesmaids. After these had
 taken their places the bridegroom, MT. | Caffey, entered with his best man, who | was his brother, Mir. Frank Caffey. of I New York. Miss Lillian Pearce of Dan
 vile, Ky, followed them, being Miss | Hunts maid of honor. and she also was wearing white and carrying white flow CTS. ne bride came in with her father MT. w. P. Hunt, looking lovely in her | bridal robes of white radium silk covered with long tulle veil The dress was cut with short train and finished with a | yoke of real lace. The shower bouquet of white roses and ferns completed the
 becoming costume and with the coming of the bride the wedding party was com plete and the solemn ceremony was be- gun by Rev. Theo Copeland of St. Luke | M. E. church.

NEW TYPE OF MoToR-BoAT.
Expenditure for Fuel Very Small In
 Emil Capltaine.

From Harper's Weekly.
 The international motor-boat trials held this summer at the Isle of Wight were marked by the participation in the reliability" tests of a new form of motor-boat where the propelling power was gas-engine supplied with pro. ducer gas from a small gas plant This novel craft was the Thornycroft boat Emil Capitaine, which is sixty feet in length and of ten feet beam. On the first day of the competition 1t made nonstop run of ten hours. traversing over seventy miles without a mishap, and consuming but 469 pounds of coal for eleven and a half hours run and for keeping tie fires alight during the previous night. This represents an outlay for coal of but little over a dol lar day and only about one-ffth or one-sixth of what would be involved In England for fuel for gasoene launch of corresponding size.
 This means not only an economy for commercial work that is of import ance, but also 10 the private-yacht owner, who not only can run his yacht on far less fuel. but does not have to undergo the dirty operation of coa1ing with such frequency, and can conse- quently make longer trips. On the trial mentioned the Emil Capitaine, which was not designed for extreme or even high speed, did not make even the progress of which 1t is capable, but its work was so successful as to indicate a substantial future for this type of boat. Several vessels with gas-engines of considerably larger size are now in course of construction fin England and Germany, and for them equal sue cess may be reasonably expected.

BAD CONDITION OF BRIDGE.

Editor Woman's Department:
 Will you not call attention through your valuable columns to the bad condi- tion of the Twenty-hrst street bridge? Those in authority should make 1t their business to have this bridge put in better condition, for in its present state the lives of citizens are endangered. The blanks are piled in such a manner as to make the bridge entirely too rough for vehicles to pass over 1t in safety and horses frequently stumble. thereby in- creasing the danger. Ladies driving are constantly complaining of the rough con dition of the bridge, and If you will kind ly call attention to this fact l think you will do much needed service to the en- tire community. Very sincerely,

The continued warm weather Is not conducive to much activity in the social world, and were it not for the horse show society would have little to discuss. Only a few fashionable women braved the sum mer-like day of yesterday for autumn shopping. and the streets have nothing of the look of the winter so near at hand.
 A bright touch was given them in the flags here and there, their number to be increased in honor of the visit of Presi- dent Roosevelt, while horse show coors and insignia in many of the shop win dows give a showy look to them.

Americans Read Three Times More Newspapers Than Other Nations.

In his arlcle on Paper and It's Manu- facture" in the October issue of the Tech nical World Magazine MT. William R. Stewart says:
 "The per capita value of the paper con- sumed in the United States yearly is the greatest In the world, and amounted during last year to about s1.75. News paper figured largest in the total product, with a record of 1904 of about 650OO0 tons, valued at about $23,000,000. In 1890 total of 196. 05s tons. worth sis,106694. sufficed to meet the demand. We were noted as the greatest newspaper-reading people on earth in 1890, but in -ysi we ready about three times more, or At any rate, had three times as much offered us to read. It Is interesting to note that in 1890 the cost of news paper was about double what 1t is at present, namely, sG ton, as compare with about s3o now"
