The local option proposition
in Rails county was defeated
yesterday by a majority OF 1872.
Although the question had been
agltated for about two months
and many speeches made
throughout the county in its
favor, the sentiment of the peo-
pie was against it as was evil
denced by the vote polled. At
the present time there are but
two saloons in the county, one
at Perry and the other at Ilasco.
Up to a month or so ago there
were three saloons at uasco
but when the license of two of
them expired the county court
refused to renew them. There

Waiting Days

Oh. the days of waiting, the
s... Gains,
when he breeze dies cut and
the sails drop down,
When our restless souls would
iou reliel
In even the storm-cloud's
threatening frown.
But Is then that we see the
SD s decp blue,
And the myriad beauties of
OCEAN ways,
And all the mystical signs of
lolven---
And we thank the, Lord, for
these waiting days.
Oh, the days OF winter, so dull,
SO drear,
When the leaves have fed
and the spring comes not.
When the brooks are silent and
woods are dull
And the snow lies deep on the
meadow lot.
But It's then that we find the
tranquil Joy
That comes from the dawn
and the sunset rays,
And learn the secret of squirrel
and bird
And we thank thee, Lord, for
these waiting days.
Oh the days of life, when we
wait and wait
For the strength or time our
task to complete,
When we needs must sit with
the folded hands,
And list to the tramp of the
passing feet.
But it's then that we learn the
JOY of faith,
And know at length sweet
patienCe's ways,
And lean on the strength of the
Fathers heart,
So we thank thee, Lord, fol-
these waiting days.

it is sold at the drug stores,

Since the local option meas
ure has been defeated it is ex-

more new saloons will be open
ed up in various parts of the
county. Had there been a
full vote cast yesterday there
is hardly any doubt but that

TRACY'S SENTENCE COMMITTED.
Was Serving Life Term for killing His
Aunt May Herbert PardOned.

ALBANY, Nov. 28.-Gov. Higgins to-day
committed TO twenty years the sentence
of Edgar L. Tracy, who was convicted Of
murder in the second degree in Chenango
county in September, 1894. and sentenced
10 imprisonment for life in Auburn prison.
The pardon was granted on the recon-
mendation Of the Judge and District At
torney who tried the case and on that of
Supreme Court Justice-e elect Gladding. :
Tracy was convicted entirely on circum-
stantial evidence. He was intoxicated
when the crime was committed. He was
on his way home and stopped at the house
Of his uncle while the uncle and aunt we're
away. On the return of his relatives he is
opposed to have shot his aunt while his
uncle was at the barn putting up the team.
The uncle heard a shot, and going into
the house found his wife lead and Tracy
shot in the back of the neck, the ball coming
out of his mouth. Under the communication
given him Tracy will be released in about
two months.
May Herbert, who was convicted in West
chester county Of perjury on October Is,
1905, was pardoned by the Governor on the
belief that she has been sufficiently punished
for her offence. The woman, has been
confined in the woman prison at Auburn
under a sentence of not less than two years
nor more than three years imprisonment,
was indicted for false testimony given in a
abroad damage case. She and her hus-
band gave the testimony, IL is alleged, at the
solicitation of ambulance lawyers, so called.
The husband and the lawyers involved
were sentenced TO prison for subornation
of perjury. The local authorities in West
Chester joined in p~etitioning the Governor in
her behalf, both on her own account and on
behalf of her aged and sick mother and
her father, who is al old soldier.

German Empire, with IS 200, 900 population,
has but rs persons who are more than 100

pa France, with a population Of fewer than
10000, 600, has 2I3 who have passed their

%. switzerland does not boast a single

population, has 4l0.
The most amazing figures come from
the troublesome, turbulent region OF the
Balkan peninsula. Servia has s73 per-
sons who are more than 100 years old, Ru-
mania has 1904 and Bulgaria 1888. In
other words. Bulgaria has a c~entenarian for

PASTOR PARLIMAN UPHELD.
Nassau P~resbytery Decides That Trustees
OF Murray Hill Church Must Go.

The Nassau ~Presbytery, which for two
weeks has been investigating the trouble
at the First Presbyterian Church Of Murray
Hill. Flushing, has decided that the present
board OF trustees must be dismissed and a
new board selected at a oongregat ional
meeting to be held on Tuesday, Deem
Der 4.
1t Is advised that at the meeting only such
trustees shall be selected as can work in
harmony with the Rev. Benjamin F. Parli-
man, the pastor of the church. The trustees
who are TO be dismissed are Robert Martin,
chairman; William c. Burchan, secretary;
William Rasquin, treasurer, George A.
Warheld, A. ". Silkworth and Z. T. Burling.
The report OF the P~resbytery is a victory
for the Rev. Mr.. Parliman and for a major
ity Of the congregation, who have sup
ported him since he was requested 10 serve
another term as pastor of the Murray Hill
church. The trustees and a minority have
been trying to obtain another pastor. Mr..
Parliman organized the church and has
worked hard for it in its three years Of
existence. As his pay Is but SIS a month
preachers blessed with eloquenoe have
shown no anxiety TO obtain the place. The
trustees declared that Mr.. Parliman was
too much Of a boss. The matter was called
10 the attention of the Nassau Presbytery
and a special meeting was held at the church
on November IL.

BLANCHE WALSH WEBS AGAIN.
Became the Bride OF william Travers at
New Orleans Nov. rs.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 26.-Blanche Walsh,
the actress, was married to William Ira
vers, a member of her company, in this
city on November Is. The ceremony was
performed by Judge Henry Renshaw of
the First City Court at a private residence
in st. Charles avenue.
At the time the ceremony was performed
Miss Walsh requested and the under
standing was that nothing would be said
by the Judge and those witnessing the
ceremony until after all had left the city
Blanche Walsh is a daughter Of the late
Thomas p. (Fattyl Walsh, who was once
warden of the Tombs and a we'll knowndown-
town Tammany politician. Miss Walsh was
born at 2 Mott street and developed talent as
an actress when a young girl. Marie Vain
wright took a great interest in her when
she became a professional, coached her in
her parts and her success was comparatively
rapid. In May, 1895, she married Alfred
Hickman, an English motor, and in August,
1908, her divorce from him became inal.
Milliam Travers is the divorced husband
OF Harriet Merritt, a vaudeville actress,
who got a judgment against him in Brook
lyn last June. The former Mrs. Travers
declared that she had caught her husband
in the room of n celebrated actress in
Chicago and secured af,davits from bell
boys bearing her out.
When the case had been concluded and
the former Miss Merritt's maiden name
restored she said her alimony was to be
$40 a week and was TO continue for three
years. Asked as 70 her counsel fee, she
declared that her husband had given $500.
slOo in cash and notes for $500.
Miss Merritt met Travers at the Casino
Theatre eight years ago. At that time
he was q property man and she a chorus
girl.
Travers got an engagement with Miss
Walsh when she was playing with -Resur-
rection" at the Victoria Theatre. His part
was small and paid less than $40 a week
When she put on -The Woman in the Case"
he was promoted to a better part and has
since beer pushed rapidly to the front.
He is about 80 years old, more thar six
feet tall and what women consider a hand
some man.
Miss Walsh Is quite wealthy. She owns
a beautiful country place on Long Island
and real estate in New York.
