Hughes Defeats Hearst in New
York

New York, Nov. 7.-Incomplete
returns from two thirds of the coun-
ties of the state of New York made t
impossible up to IL o'clock today
to give definite figures on the state
ticket other than for governor.
Charles E. Hughse, republican candi-
date for governor, has majority of
80, 900 approximately but the remain
der of the candidates are in doubt.
For lieutenant governor, Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler, democratic In
dependence league candidate, has
lead in the city of Greater New York
of 1874, GAL. Up state M. Linn Bruce,
republican candidate for lieutenant
governor, is running slightly ahead
Of Mr.. Hughes vote. AS Mr..
Hughes came down to Greater New
York with lead of approximately
1919, 900, it will readily be seen that
the vote for second palce ON the tick.
ct will be very close, and only the
complete official count will determine
the successful candidate.
At republican state headquarters
no denflite statement or claim is to
be had, but based on returns already
in, it appears thu Bruce is elected
by 5000. It was stated that as there
we're still about 20 counties to be
heard from officially, nothing would
be given outSuntil these have report
ed.
William r. Hearst apparently
carried only two counties in the state
outside of G eater New York. These
were Chemung and Sch harie. 1t
was in his home city, however that
he encountered the bitterness and
most determined opposition. Kings
county, of which Patrick McCarren
is the democratic leader, last year
gave Hearst for mayor, large plural
itty, but McCarren exerted all his
forces to return a Hughes majority
in his county. His instructions to
his captains we're to cut Hearst and to
vote the remainder of the democratic
ticket. While Hearst succeeded in
carrying the county by plurality of
1900, the returns for the rem ainder
of the state ticket shog that his
trouble with McCarren cost him dear
ly. The plurality of the county for
the democratic candidate who were
not affected by McCarren's order ex-
ceeded that of the head of the ticket
by more than 80, 900. Had Hearst
received those votes it would have
cut Hughes lead in the state prac-
tically in half.

Intelligence of Manned Birds.

Manned birds show remarkable in
telligence in getting food for Them
Selves" said the naturalist
Il once found in my garden a blue
bird that a stone had wounded badly.
The poor little creature could neither
walk nor fly. I put it in a cucumber
frame and fed it regularly, but 1 sup
pose 1 didn't give it enough for it for
aged industriously all the time. Lying
on the earth, it would cover itself with
leaves-only its small eyes would be
visible. Then when a fly alighted some
where near-swoop, the bluebird's head
and neck would dart from the covering
of leaves, and the fly would be devour-
ed.
"a finch with a broken wing lived
high all one summer in my garden at
the expense of the spiders. 1t pillaged
their webs. 1t made a round of some
twenty webs a day. and fattened on the
contents of those filmy larders.''

"On a Connecticut DAM said a law

he tried to climb up on the ice, though,
it broke under him. So, without NOV

Desirable Trees.

There is bread tree said the gro
Ger, which gives excellent, mealy
bread fruit, like mother used to make.
There is also a butter tree in the trOp-
les, yielding four annual crops, 100
pounds of butter to the crop.
The South American milk tree gives
milk that tastes rather like cows
milk, and from the wine tree of Mauri-
tus is distilled a liquor as potent as
brandy. The Chinese have a soap tree
whose seeds make a good lather.
Here at home we have the station
cry tree, the white birch, whose bark
we can peel into thin sheets of beau
tiful writing paper. In Madeira there
is the pie tree, yielding the custard
apple, which tastes like custard pie"

GREATER PITTSBURG
ELECTION.

The legislature of Pennsylvania hav-
ing passed bill uniting Pittsburg and
Allegheny in one municipality. to take
effect in a few weeks, the spring cleo
ton in those cities assumed an I'M
usually important aspect. This was
still further heightened by the char
acter of the campaign waged. The
opposing candidates for mayor were
Mr.. Guthrie, democrat, and Mr.. Jen-
kinson, republican. The former had
the Endorsement of the civic reform
element in the city, and the latter was
heavily backed by several of the Pitts
burg brand of millionaires and by the
Pennsylvania railroad. After sharp
fight Mr.. Guthrie won out by ma
iority of 5000. The republican candi-
date, who was elected mayor of Al
leghany, will become the deputy mayor
of the greater city.
Party lines were nearly wiped out in
the contest The democratic candidate
appealed for votes on the ground that
he was good Roosevelt man and
reformer The republicans tried to
hold their tines together by the cry
that the republican party, being in the
majority, should be entrusted with the
first administration of the greater
city. They were unable to restrain
the spirit of independent voting which
was exercised in a way to make hide
bound party organs very sad.
The people, however, do not seem
to feel the same weight of woe They
seem to have considered that they
would rather give an unattached demo-
crat their votes than to trust a re-
publican who was branded with the
official stamp of the Pennsylvania
railroad.

Would Repeal Anything.

AS is often the case when political
offices are sought in Great Britain,
the candidate had given one pledge af.
ter another to his audience. Finally
he was asked if he was prepared to
vote for the repeal of the provisions of
chapter 20 of the Book of Exodus.
Certainly he replied at once, without
having caught the end of the sentence,
Il shall have no objection" The hall
was convulsed with laughter. The can
didate, Disconnected, asked the chair
man what was the matter. Nothing
replied the latter placidly. You have
only just pledged yourself to repeal the
ten commandments

FREE ALCOHOL.

The Farm, Stock and Home re-
marks that from the tone of some
letters it has been receiving it is evil
dent that the work of the Standard
Oil company against the Marshall de-
naturized alcohol bill is having some
effect The line of attack is to frighten
the temperance people into opposing
the bill on the ground that untaxed al
cohol cannot be safely permitted be-
cause people would restore it and
drink it and a saturnalia of intemper-
ance result
The testimony of experts is that de-
naturalized alcohol can be recovered,
but that the cost would be more than
the original distillation and it could be
done only in a large plant equipped
with elaborate and expensive machin-
cry.
Some of the temperance advocates
have seen the point and have escaped
the snare of the Standard Oil monopo-
ly. The New Voice, edited by John G.
Wooley, at one time prohibition can
didate for president of the United
States, has come out squarely for the
Marshall bill. 1t says:
Our war is not against either al
cohol or the proper use of alcohol. We
have no quarrel with the man who

The feasibility of denat .rizing alco-
hol appears to be established in such
way as to answer the objections
against putting into the hands of the
people alcohol for manufacturing pur-
poses which may be recovered and
used for drinking purposes.
The only other questions remaining
are those of the methods of preventing
fraud upon the revenue and the effect
upon the revenue itself. So far as the
latter is concerned it is impossible at
the present time to say what the loss
would be. The commissioner of
internal revenue does not care to guess

what different from the idea which
has been entertained by some that
when alcohol became free its manu-
facture would be free to whoever
wanted to make some for his own
use. The gain to the manufacturer and
the farmer would be entirely in the
reduced cost of alcohol, which being
denaturized would be freed from the
revenue tax. This would be ire
mendous gain, however, since a gallon
of pure alcohol now pays a tax of
from $19S to $2.11 according to the
proof.

Hence innumerable young men and
women who would like to know how to

A young man just back from London

THE PRIDE OF THE EYE.

Habit has made the American peo-
pie slaves to the artful practice of
dyeing their articles of food We
seem to care more about satisfying the
eye than the palate. The first requi-
site is that our food must be bright
and fresh looking The campaign for
pure food meets with this obstacle
everywhere. Manufacturers insist
that the public will not buy uncolored
articles, and the law which prohibits
artificial coloring matter in Washing
ton and some other states in roundly
abused. Well-informed people know
that coal-tar dyes, which are gener-
variety and staying qualities, are pos
itively injurious to health, but they
are willing to take small doses of
such poison every day rather than eat
their food in it's natural and whole
some form. uncolored.
Butter, which most of the year
comes from the churn barely tinged
with a straw tint is dyed bright vel
low because the trade demands it. In
fact we require a much higher color
than European countries, and butter
makers will not give up the coloring
matter, because without it butter
might not be distinguished. from oleo.
Canned meatsand jams are dyed red;
metallic green to counterfeit the fresh
article and nearly everything On the
market that will take color is dyed by
shrewd dealers to the desired hue.
Candies are colored every hue of the
rainbow by extracts from the same
coal tar. Washington has forbidden
harmful coloring matter, but the law
has not been effective.
This desire to be humbugged in what
we eat is no new thing. Back in the
eighteenth century adulteration ran
rampant, unchecked by law, and much
of it was in the direction of artificial
color to please the consumers eye
In Smollett's Humphrey Clinkery writ
ten in 1878, Matthew Bramble writes
to DR.. Lewis a nair-raising story Of
the fraud and uncleanness practiced
in the British metropolis of that day.
In it he says:
The bread I eat in London is a de-
leterious paste, mixed up with chalk
alum and bone-ashes, insipid to the
taste and destructive to the constitu-
ton. The good people are not ignor-
ant of this adulteration, but they pre-
fer it to wholesome bread, because
it is whittier than the meal of corn
(wheat. Thus they sacrifice their
of their tender infants, to most
absurd qualification of a misjudging
eye"
''As to the intoxicating potion sold
for wine,'' Bramble deposes, ''it is a
vile. unpalatable, pernicious sophis-
tication, balderdashed with cider, corn
spirit and the juice of aloes.'' This is
sample of adulteration for pure
greed, and a familiar story today.
Bramble's tale of a hundred gallon
cask of port. found to contain but five
gallons of real wine, and that
'brewed'' by the merchant at Oporto,
is outdone in this day of commercial
triumpas. In fact, the chemists art

humbug. Pure food laws must be en-
