A Queer

A queer ceremony Is performed every
year on the 9Th day Of September in the
Vale Maggie. Italy. The region
abounds In vipers. The celebrants
form into a weird procession, each per-
son-man, woman and child-carrying
a huge figure OF a snake stuffed with
cotton. AS they pass along they weep
and lament, believing that by the ex-
piatory ceremony they will render
themselves proof against snake bites
during the grape gathering.

RESULT OF ELECTION
MCCLELLAN HAS PLURALITY OF
ABOUT THREE THOUSAND.
Municipal Ownership Candidate Does
Not Admit Defeat-Jerome Elected
District Attorney by Three Thous'
a~nd-Analysis Of Vote.

s'S
Washington, Nov. Selection re-
turns show that the Democrats nave
carried the mayoralty campaign IN
New York city, the state ticket IN
Pennsylvania, the state ticket In VIZ
ginia and the city ticket In LOUISVILLE
while the Republicans have made a
clean sweep in Massachusetts ana
Chicago and Cook county and nave
carried their tickets in New jersey
Rhode Island, Nebraska and Maryland
In New York, Hearst had a pluraiity
in the borough of Brooklyn OF almost
16 O with fourteen election districts
missing. The returns indicate NC
Clellan's reelection by 5000 plurality.
Hearst has charged fraud In the vol
ing and announces a contest. blru
8 Coler was elected borough presl-
dent OF Brooklyn on the munlclpal
! ownership ticket. The New York cleo
I tion shows that municipal ownership
will be a considerable factor in the
! city's politics.
In Ohio the result is still doubtful
with leaders of both parties claiming
the state by safe pluralities.
The suffrage a~mendement / Mary
land was defeated overwhelmingly.
Massachusetts elected a Republican
governor by a majority approximatint
h a of Douglass, the present Demo
cratic governor. There were charges
Of fraud in Louisville. There were
few clashes at the polls but no SER
GUS injuries.
Returns from Nebraska indicate tn
election Of Charles b. Letton 10 Tn
supreme bench by a plurality in tn
neighborhood Of 10000. The plural
ties of Abbott and Lyford, Republica
candidates for regents, over Cole an
Lightner. will not be quite as great a
that of Letton.
