ELECTION FRAUD CASES.

mOnV of Thousands.

Denver, Feb: Cat the session of
the joint Legislative committee consid-
ering the Peabody Adams gubernato-
rial contest, Attorney John A. Rush
announced that the Democrats expect.
ed to take evidence of 5000 or 5000
persons either before the committee
or before notaries. He asked to have
the ballots taken before notaries when
witnesses were to be heard. This re-
quest was denied by Chairman Griffith.
James A. Pershing, Republican
lawyer, who acted as supreme court
watcher in precinct 6, ward IA, testi
fed that legal ballots were cast in that
precinct by putting them in the out
side box when the glass box was filed.
He said before this was done the cleo
ton officials consulted with him and
the action was taken with his consent.
In his opinion the election in that
precinct was conducted honestly, al
though one expert had testified there
were over sixty ballots written by one
or two persons.
len witnesses were examined during
the afternoon, each Of whom identified
as his ballot one of those which tie
Peabody experts had declared to have
been written by one or two persons.
From Cne precinct where an expert
had testified seventeen Democratic and
six Republican ballots were written by
one person, the Democratic attorneys
produced six men, each of whom iden.
titled one of the Repu blican ballots as
the one he wrote. This completely
demolished the experts report on this
group of ballots.
In another case a Republican cleo
ton judge identified the Repu blican
ballots which the experts had declar-
ed fraudulent as being his own and
Two which he had written for litter
ate voters.

Olympia, Feb. 8.-After a heated
session in the house committee on Ia

cred by the union labor interests Of the
state were indefinitely postponed, the
minority members of the committee re-
solving to submit minority reports IA
voring the passage of the measures.
The bills turned down we're num-
bers l51, 1876, SO and 80. No. SO was
considered chief among the labor mea-
sures. 1t was introduced by Huxtable,
of Spokane, and was only paragraph
long, but defined who shall be con-
strued to be fellow servants, and
against it the employing interests made
an organized fight. For days past
printed forms, carrying protests
against the measure, signed by en-
ployers of labor all over the state have
poured in upon the house members Of
the committee.

BUILDING IN LONDON.
New War Offices in Whitehall and Ad
ditional Government Offices.

New War Offices in Whitehall and Ad-
ditional Government Offices.
Tie two most important buildings
row in course Of construction are the
War Office, in Whitehall, and the adj
ditional Government Offices, in Parlia-
ment street, Whitehall's continuation,
each of which will cost some millions
OF dollars. The former, designed by
the late William Young, and to be
completed in June, 1906 (at an expense
of $3,5OO,OOO in addition to the great
cost of the site), occupies an entire
block bounded by Whitehall, White
hall place, Whitehall court, and on the
south by Horse Guards avenue, which
separates it from the banqueting hall
from which Charles 1. stepped to his
death. The block is large and slight
~ irregular one, its main facade, In
Whitehall, being the shortest, and the
northern one, in Whitehall place, the
longest. The irregularity is masked
by an ingenious treatment of the an
giles.
The new Government Offices, at the
lower end Of Parliament street, de-
signed by ]. NJ. Brydon, will be ready
for occupancy In June, 1907. Though
only four stories high, the building Is
so huge that the inner rooms will be
lighted from nineteen courts, the
largest being 100 feet in diameter. 1t
has a frontage of about 400 feet and
depth somewhat greater, and ulti-
mately will run all the way from Par
lament street to st. James Park,
distance of 700 feet, which IL also the
depth of the adjoining Home and For
eign Office block. The latter extends
from Charles street north to Downing
street, and the new block from Charles
street to Great George street on the
south; and it Is planned to unite the
two by a bridge carried across Charles
street above a great portico or arcade
Of three arches on columns, with

Fringe on Mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes belong to the fly family,
but differ from common flies in many
respects. One Of the most interesting
differences is the fringe Of hairlike
scales on the edge of the wing and on
the wing veins. These scales are ex-
ceedingly transparent and dainty in
appearance, and the accomplished mi
croscopist looks at them with great in
terest because, once upon time, the
English-speaking microscopists Of the
whole world were fighting a wordy
war about the true structure Of these
feathery objects. Microscope lenses
of those days were poor in comparison
with the lenses of the present, and
few observers agreed in the interpre-
tation. Of what they saw. We know
about these scales now, but they will
always be attractive, because thirty
or forty years ago they stirred up
quite q scientific contest.-St. Nicho-
las.

The Children's Holiday.

The Children's Holiday.
Except at the Chinese New Year,
which comes in February, it is very
hard to catch glimpse Of children In
China. Little beggars will run beside
you for miles to earn one cash." a
copper coin with a square hole In the
middle Of 1t, worth the twentieth of
a cent; but children who have parents
to care for them seem to be kept in
doors all the time, or only allowed to
play in walled yarus and gardens. We
used to say to each other, "Why.
where are the children? Haven't they
got anyT But at New Years we
found out that they had. This is the
great holiday Of all the year in China.
when everybody hangs out flags and
colored lanterns and sets of fire-cracK-
ers. eve borrowed our custom Of fire
crackers for the Fourth of July from
Chinese New Year's.) All the people
put on their very best clothes, and the
children the best of all, jackets and
trousers Of bright blue or green or
yellow or purple, the boys and the
girls SO much alike that you can only
tell them apart by their hair. The
boys, Of course, is braided in a pig
tail, and the girls is done up on her
head with silver pins, or, If she's a
very grand little girl, with gold or
jade. Thus decked out, the children 60
walking with their proud papas and
mammals, and often go to the theater,
which is a rare treat for them.
Perhaps Chinese children have
romping plays together, but they al
ways look as if they were born grown
