Yesterdays Election.

! The election results yesterday

ling up of the old party lines
and also of the old triumph of the
independent voter in municipal
politics. Tammany Hall was never
before defeated in New York except
by fusion OF opposing elements,
but yesterday William Travers Je-
rome, running solely on his record
as a good officer, asking the nomi-
nation of no party defeated the
Tammany nominee. This was one
of the most significant, wholesome
and encouraging victories that has
occurred in any American munich

clean, clear-cut triumph of an hon

chine. If the precedent set by Je-
rome can be generally followed, it
will mean the removal from mu-
nicipal elections of that most OBJ
jectionable character, the political
boss, and new era in city govern
ments in which the chief soufce of
graft and corruption will be elimi-
mated. It will mean the emancipa-
tion of voters from machine control
and allow them to vote for the best
man without regard to the party
label some boss-rldden convention
has placed upon him.
In Philadelphia the result was
equally satisfactory. The city has
long been dominated by corrupt
machine that called itself the Re-
publican party, but yesterday it
was defeated by reform ticket by
probably $4,000 votes.
In Cincinnati George B. Cox, the
malodorious Republican boss, gives
notice that his personal activity
In politics has ceased. So in the
result of the municipal
elections Yesterday the triumph Of
the independent voters was marked,
and with that triumph comes the
promise Of more honest municipal
government.
In the State elections the inde-
pendent voter also asserted himself.

STRAWBERRY sHoRTCAKE.
Sentimental Man Signs for the Va
riety Mother Used to Make.
FINN the Now York Sun.

From the New York Sun
81 sigh" said the sentimental man, 'for
stra wberry shortcake such as mother used
to make-we don't get anything like it now.
This strawberry shortcake that get to-
day is made of cake, sweet cake. of some
sort or maybe dry and crumbly, all
tasteless as sawdust or sickeningly sweet
1t isn't shortcake at all. I don't want to
stir the young imagination to rebellion, but
let me tell how they made strawberry short
cake in the days of old.
They used a biscuit crust, to begin with
mind that. Not sweet, crumbly, charac-
terless and incompatible foundation OF cake
but a biscuit crust, made pretty rich. Ana
having baked suitably large and tolerably
thick disk of such crust. they split 1t open

may seem to you that it was barbarism to
put butter where they were about to put
strawberries, but it was really far from
that. as you would discover If by any
chance you should ever have the good for
tune to eat strawberry Shortcake such as
| am now describing.
The Strawberries for the cake had pre-
viously been put into dish and sugar had
been sprinkled over them, and then left to
stand in that way long enough so that when
you were ready to use them there a
little strip in the dish. And now, having
lightly buttered the lower crust, you spread
on, not at wide intervals here and there a
strawberry. but a layer of Strawberries
with some of the strip from the sugar and
il there wasn't a great abundance of the
strip you put on little cream, and if the
berries were not very sweet you put on a
sprinkling more of sugar.
And then you took the top crust which
you had split off. and turned that with it's
top or crusty side down on the first LAYER of
Strawberries, and buttered lightly the soft
upper side of this crust and on it spread
another layer of berries, with more of the
strip in which they had stepped and per-
maps little more sugar. and then you put
on layer of cream, and Hold on, You
want to eat it now? Wait a minute
I'VE used TO take two disks of that bis
cult crust, made not too thick and treat
both in precisely the same manner and
then put one on top of the other so build
