"IN CURE OF HER Soul" By F. j.
stimfon q. S. Of Dale) Illustrations
by Arthur Beecher New York City:
d. Appleton 4 Co. Price, Sl.50.
For those who love variety Of treat
ment, In Cure Of Her Soul" should prove
most satisfying. For it is to be found
abundantly
In the, first place, we have the society
novel and an opening OF the portals Of
the House Of Mirth." The follies. the
ioihles, the vices and the moiely Of
virtue are all set forth. There is the
husband who finds earnest purpose in
life, mated 10 a woman who lives only for
pleasure The inevitable is barely avoided
the frivolous wife reaching for the limit
and drawing back only because she was
confronted with scandal and debasement
instead of the desired divorce and re-
marriage with the highest ROLLER" Of the
smart set OF course. the husband falls
IN love with a congenial affinity but this
episode is not associated with the slightest
suspicion Of scandal In the end, there is
a reformed wife, with a sincere, sym
pathetic sharing in the goodness Of her
husband, and though the conversion is
helated, it is none the less satisfactory.
But the environments of the story, the
paths that are followed are almost be-
wildering. It's accessories are analysis
OF human emotions; settlement work and
the uplifting Of the poor; law, politics
finance Wall Street great business schemes
and stock manipulations, Trusts, strikes
boycots labor unions. Socialism and
sociology, and a glimpse Of real. sweet
home life--probably as q contrast to the
vanities Of the social whirl And the
swift passage from one to the other is
almost Kaleidoscope. Also, there is a
pathetic tragedy Of wrong doing followed
by suicide.
To many readers all these things will
prove of absorbing interest, but the inn
preston is insistent that condensation
might have been applied with stern virtue
and good results. But with il all, the
book is anything but dull or wearisome

Negrophobia is becoming epidemic
among Delaware Republicans. They op-
pose negroes holding offices, and they
oppose the selection of Councilman
Postles, who is a negro, as a delegate to
the convention of Republican clubs to
be held in Philadelphia this week. All
the use they have for a negro is to profit
by his possession of the elective fran
chise. The negro should be satisfied
with voting the Republican ticket, ac-
cording to Republican sentiment in Dela-
ware.

The Board of Health of Chicago has
served notice upon the packinghouse
companies TO clean up and keep decent.
Had the Chicago Board of Health done
this in the first place, as was It's duty,
and compelled the packinghouse people
to adhere rigidly to a policy Of decent
cleanliness, we would not have had the
recent houid scandal and the clamorous
demand for government interierenee.

WILDWOOD CREST

The Sunday afternoon concert by the
Oglesby band was enjoyed by an inn
mense crowd at Wildwood Crest. An
other concert will be given next Sun
day.
One of the strong points in favor of
Wildwood Crest as place of residence
as we'll as investment is that on solid
foundation it has been graded up with
pure clean sand to a height several feet
above the rest of the surface of the is
land, thereby perfecting the drainage
and lifting the houses above dampness,
giving better view over the ocean and
getting the complete circulation of the
breezes, while it secures the whole sec
tion against the effects ofstorm tides
Few of the thousands of visitors to
Wild wood realize to what extent and
with what rapidity Wildwood Crest is
growing. This most beautiful annex
to Wildwood should be visited by all
strangers coming to the seashore. An
army of men are at work every day
making new streets, laying sewers and
building an underground telephone
service. Within very short time
Wildwood Crest promises to be one of
the grandest cities on the coast. n
I&"Let's go down to the Crestn is a
slogan heard all over the Five Mile
Beach island. This fact Is borne out
by the daily excursionists who count it
part of the days outing to go to the
new resort and visit the immense sand
dredges pouring their streams of sand
sea and making dry land of it. In the
years time that the dredges have been
at work millions of cubic yards of sand
has been spread over several square
miles of low land, making it six feet
above tide and three feet higher than
the adjoining resort of Holly Beach.
Things never stand still at this place.
There is something or somebody going
or coming both day and night. The
new freight sidings are always piled
with freight while the trolley exten-
sion is invaluable to the host of sight
seers.
The work of building still goes on
with unabated zeal and this fall will
see twice the number of magnificent
cottages that this spring saw.
Vaudeville at the Crest theatre is
drawing well these beautiful summer
nights.
William F. Nealon, a well-known
/ Philadelphian, is at the Ocean Crest
/ hotel.
One of the charming guests here for
the season is Miss Lolita Rife, of New
port, r. |.

business man, is at the Ocean Crest for

tOnscr, atiNe ObserN ers Expect Republicans
10 win by a small Plurality

BosToN, Nov. 1. The eve of the election
ia Massachusetts finds the outcome in doubt
but among conservative observers ona
finds the majority of the opinion that the
Republicans will reflect Gov. Guild hv a
reduced plurality.
It il difficult TO make an est innate Of the
outcome of the fight for the Lieutenant =
Governorship tor the reason that no one
can ell what effect the cutlery against Draper
has had among the wage earners. but II IS
generally believed that he will pm through
bv a narrow margin.
In the Congress districts the Republicans
are sure OF electing nine of their candidates
and the Democrats are confident OF retaining
their hold on three seats.
There j. some doubt about the reelection
of A. p. Gardner, Senator Lodges son-in
law, in rho Sixth district. The Democrats
named state Senator George \. Schotleld
OF Ipswich, and he has such a strong follow
ing that no one would be surprised TO see
him win. The Democrats also believe that
they have a chance 10 win back the Third
district because of the recent death OF
Congressman HOar. The Republican dis
trict committee named the Hon. Charles G.
Washburn tn take his place on the ballot.

There has also been a spirited fight in the

Chairman Feeney Of the Democratic
State committee says he whole Democratic
ticket will be successful.
On all tides it is agreed that a heavy vote
will be cast.
As the Republican managers figure it
the Republican detection from Governor
Guild will be much more than Offset by the
Democratic detection from Moran. The
claim is made that thousands Of conserva-
tive Democrats will desert the District
Attorney.
The vote of Boston is n most uncertain
quantity his year. President Mcclellan
of the Democratic city committee claims
Boston by at least 20, ZOO for Moran. Repub-
lican est Inmates and those OF conservative
Democrats place Moran plurality in Boston
at 1900 and under. Some Republicans
believe that Gov. Guild will carry Boston.

Claim Legislature.

PROVIDENCE, Nov. Though both Re-
publicans and Democrats make confident
predictions that their tickets will be elected
on Tuesday, there is every indication that
the State ticket will b. split and that the
Dem ocrats will elect James II. Higgins
Governor and Charles SisSou Lieutenant
Governor. while the Republicans will get
the rest Of the general officers, including
Charles p. Bennett, Secretary OF State, and
Walter A. Read, General Treasurer.
There is evidence that Higgins has gained
strength steadily from he starr Of the
campaign, especially the last week. Many
Republicans admit that he il the strongest
candidate.
Concerning the Assembly ticket there is
a division of opinion. h Republicans ore
confident OF ha wing a majority sufficiently
large to elect a United States Senator with
out trouble. The Democrats are hopeful
that they nay when the returns are counted
be in a position to that Col. II. II. l..
Goddard will be the next United states
Senator, succeeding Metmore. The pre-
dictions are that the Republicans viii con-
troll the Assembly, yet the uncertain eIe-
ment figures this year to a greater extent
than ever before In this state, and Just
how much weight the persistent campaign
against Braytonism has had with the
electorate cannot be estimated.
The Democrats look for gains all along
the line. Chairman Frank T.. Fitzsimmons
OF the Democratic State central COMMITTEES
says concerning the outlook:
There il one thing We look forward To
with n great deal Of confidence, and that
is the election Of the head Of the ticket. To
my mind this IL ~ sure az anything can be

Col. Frank TIllinghast, chairman of the
Republican State committee, made tho
following general prophecy:

Tom Taggart's Gambling Houses a strong
Issue In Campaign.


INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. State officials,
except Governor, thirteen Representatives
in Congress, two Judges OF the Supreme
Court, five Judges Of the Appellate Court
and members OF the General Assembly
will be(chosen AZ the election in this State
on Tuesday.
The campaign was aggressively pushed
10y the Republicans. who early injected the
moral issue. while the Democrats, though
by no means deserving the hastings, have
admittedly made a still hunt for votes.
Conservative estimates concede the State
to the Republicans by from 81. 900 to 10000,
which will be a reduction in the Roosevelt
majority Of two years ago OF about 5000.
The Democrats expect to carry the
Second and Twelfth Congress districts,
which they lost two years ago, but both Of
which are strongly Democratic in normal
years. The Third and Fourth districts
are conceded TO them. This would make
a gain Of two Congressman, but the Repub-
licans do not concede the loss of the Secone
and Twelfth districts. but regard them as
doubtful.
TheLstrOngest card play ed by the Repub-
hcans in the Legislative campaign was the
attack upon the gambling resorts at French
Lick, owned by National Chairman Tag
CART. and a. West Baden, owned by Leo
Sinclair. BY these raid the party has
sOlidified the moral. independent vote Of
the State and will surely nave a majority
