ENORMOUS VOTE is CAST
East Side in New York Turns Out in
Great Force.
PIKERs BETTING LITTLE MONEY

All that is known about the New
York battle of the ballots today is
that an enormous vote is being cast
all over the state, and especially on
the East Side. Instinct says Hearst,
judgment says Hughes, is the fash
ion in which a staff correspondent
sizes up the situation. Three-quar-
tiers OF the labor vote, despite all eff
forts to defect it, will in all probable
ity go to Hearst, it is asserted.
More than 200 arrests were made at
the voting places early in the day.
Yet the election on the whole was a
quiet one-an ominous quietude,
perhaps.

Special From STAFF Correspondent.
NEW YORK, November 6.-Glorious
weather in this section of the country
marks election day. In this city general
holiday prevails. and the streets are gay
with animated crowds, enjoying the bril-
liant sunshine, the crisp salt air and the
delight of living. They are looking
mighty good on 9Th avenue and Broadway.
The polls opened at o'clock this morning
and will close at pm The first returns
ought to come in from Buffalo by $50
o'clock this evening" and will indicate the
trend of the much discussed labor vote up
state. BY o'clock some pointers from
Greater New York should be at hand.
The wind-up came at midnight last night
in a blaze of red fire, enthusiasm and SPELL
binding. Hughes and Hearst both made
whirlwind tours of the city, Hearst taking
the East Side and Hughes going I'D town.
Both addressed smashing crowds and re-
celved great ovations.
There was brisk voting early in the
day, as the workingmen stopped on their
way to the days labor. Such polling places
as were visited early in the forenoon
showed great interest by both parties The
watchers We're out in force, and every vote
that seemed at all suspicious was chal-
lenged.

the policeman sadly.
Last night was the dullest night around
the political hotels 1 have seen In many
campaigns. The Hoffman, the Fifth Ave
nue. and the Waldorf, where the bettors
congregate to make their wagers, were
practically deserted of the real talent "A
few old-time sports were on hand with
ostentatious rolls" and some good bets
were laid but the 'pikers. the fellows
with the fifties and the hundreds, who have
heretofore made things hum, were under
cover The odds were ostensibly to on
Hughes, but with the pikers very little real
money was shown.

Cheap Regalias.


There will be some fine job lots OF
prophets regalias for sale cheap tomor-
row. If you were called upon to proph-
esy the outcome of this election you
would probably say that your instinct
suggested Hearst, but that your judg-
ment said Hughes. But don't prophecy;
you don't have to. The game Is enter
tanning enough just to watch.
OF course, you cal take a chance and
prophesy. If it comes out your way you
can swell around and enjoy a reputation
for great political sapiency. If it goes
the other way people will soon forget
what you said. But hats the use? If
you want to be absolutely fair you will
have to admit that the outcome seems
too uncertain. There are two undercur-
rents running different directions which
no man can correctly gage-namely, the
democratic disaffection and the republic
can labor disaffection Their volume and
force may turn the tide either way.
With sullen insistency the great mass
of the labor vote seems to be setting it's
face against efforts to wean it from
Hearst. Appeals from. the rostrum, adj
monition from the pulpit. earnest en-
treaty and reasoning by the combined
press Of the state all seem to tal upon
ears that will not hear and eyes that will
not see. Fair minded observers prophesy
that Hearst will have at least three
fourths Of the labor vote Of the state.

LOST ARTS AND DEVICES.
Many Have Been Abandoned Because
New knowledge supplants
Them

Not as much as We used to, but &C.
casionally, even yet, one hears Of some
wonder accomplished by the ancients
which cannot be done now, says the
Scientific American.
Not SO many years ago it was quite
commonly asserted that modern work
men could not quarry or, having quar-
ried, could not handle stones as large
as the monoliths of Egypt, and the
writer has heard a public speaker OF
note assert that it would be impossi-
BILE to handle with modern implements
such large stones as were used in the
pyramids, or to join them as perfectly
as they are Joined there, yet, when oc-
casion arose, larger stones than any OF
these were quarried in Maine, and
some of the larger monoliths them
selves were transported, not only to
the sea, but across it, and erected in
England, France and America, and
there are individuals to-day who might
If they chose, cause the erection in
this country of the largest pyramids,
or build new ones ten times larger
and more durable. Pyramids are not
being generally built nowadays, be-
cause they are not in line with the
trend of modern ambition, that's all.
!: It is very doubtful If Damascus
blade would stand half as severe
usage as modern band saw blade, or
even as much as the spring Of a 40
cent clock; while the ornamentation Of
those wonderful blades, so far as the
mechanical execution is concerned, can
be excelled by apprentices and anna
teurs of to-day.
Of the ''lost art" of hardening cop.
per little is heard of late years,
though one occasionally hears a
wiseling from the wilds wish that he
knew how to do it as we'll as the an
clients, and, while it is perhaps re-
grettable that he doesn't, his ignor-
ance is his own fault.
Many arts and devices have been
abandoned because new knowledge
has made them useless, and time
spent in rediscovering them would be
worse than wasted. The modern
youth had much better spend his time
studying the art of his contemporaries
than that which is @'lost."

The boarding house keeper was en-

was much impressed by the landlady's
success. A question or two as to method
led the keeper of the boarding house to
disclose her secret.

pride. 80 ..
