DEMOCRATS ELECTED
FOUR REPRESENTATIVES IN THE
STATE OF NEW JERSEY.

TRENTON. N. J., November 7.-Revised
returns show that the democrats will have
the house of assembly. 81 to %. and that
they also have elected four represen-
tatives to Congress in New Jersey, a
gain of three. The democratic representa-
tives elected are William Hughes. sixth 0is-
trct; LIE Gage Pratt eighth district; Ed
ward w. Leake, ninth district, and James
A. Hamill. tenth district
The democrats have elected their senator
and entire assembly ticket in Passaie
county, and have elected George Silzer to
the state senate from Middlesex county. de-
date for reelection, by about 100 The
legislature will be republican on joint bal
lot-44 to 81. This gives the republicans three
more than majority. but Senator Colby
OF Essex and Assemblyman-elect Fake. re-
publicans, have both announced that they
will not under any circumstances vote for
the reelection of United States Senator
John F. Dryden. This would reduce Mr..
Dryden's vote to ~, provided he got the re-
publican caucus nomination This would
be only one more vote than the necessary
Al. There is talk here that, owing to the
overwhelming defeat Of the republicans In
Essex county, Mr.. Dryden's home county,
other candidates are liable to enter the
United States senatorial race. and at this
writing 1t is not absolutely certain that Mr.
Dryden will succeed himself. One of the
things that operates against Mr.. Dryden Is
the fact that about three-fourths of the re-
publican members of the legislature will be
from south Jersey. That section now has
no United States senator. Mr.. Kean and
Mr.. Dryden both being from the upper part
of the state.

Plants in Living Room.

From the Winter Window Garden, in the Home

In the living room the air is generally.
very dry, because we keep 1t at such a
high temperature that moisture is burned
out OF 1t. Plants will not do well In a dry

grow them well will therefore try to coun-
teract the evil effect Of dry air by taking
steps to impart a necessary degree OF mois

How to Drive a Well.
From Farming.

-
In many sections Of the country where
there Is gravelly substrata, the obtain
ing of water is comparatively simple mat
ter by mea2s of a driven we'll The method
Is as follows: A section Of pipe "a conven-
lent size being inch and quarter) is
fitted with point of iron. This pipe is
bored full of holes which are covered with
a brass gauze. The point is driven into the
ground by a sledge hammer and five-foot
sections Of galvanized iron pipe are Joined
to 1t as 1t Is driven into the ground. FREE
quent tests are made with pitcher pump
to discover when water has been reached
This method of obtaining water is NOT AL
together satisfactory, because from the very
nature of things the work has to be done
blindly, and very often one is Obliged to
give up entirely after having driven twenty
or thirty feet of pipe through uuicksand
from which no water can be obtained,

THE FOURTH IN WATERBURY. There Will Be No Public Celebration
 of the Day This Year.

It looks as if Waterbury is to have the quietest Independence day this
 year that 1t has had for several years past. From the roadside 1t would ap- pear as though there would be very little doing in town on thatsday and in all probability goodly number of people will spend the day out of the
 city. To begin with the Business Mems association has made no special ar rangements to observe the day and the celebration which has been given the past two years will be discontin- ued as there was SO much fault fnd- ing last year. The field day events and the fireworks display in the eyen- ing served to keep many in town last firecracker day.
 Although there is ball game scheduled for this city in the morn ing with New Haven. and there was some talk of having 1t transferred to the Elm City 1t will undoubtedly be played here. The management of the team would hardly take such a chance of displeasing the public by having the morning game played in New Haven in the afternoon as it would cause a very big holler. The City league has two games scheduled for the park in the after noon, but there Is some doubt as to whether they will be played. The four leading teams in the race are down on the program to furnish the sport and as they are the Pastimes, Hills. Brooklyns and North Ends, two interesting contests would be the re- suit If the managers at their meet ing this evening decide to play the games the people who stay at home on Wednesday can spend the after noon at the park
 Lakewood park will be open as usual and Jacques theater will have the Poli Stock company for its at traction As has been the case the past couple of years Morris park will have number of residents of this city out there. Going out there will at least make them think of the sea- shore.
 If the city officials, the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement commit tee and the trolley company, had agreed on certain trolley conditions the people might have been, able to go almost to Quassapaug on the troll ley, but as 1t is. anyone who wishes to visit the resort will have to drive or walk it.
 As it is, it looks as if the small boy with his cracker will be the only one who will find much enjoyment in Waterbury on the fourth, although there are many who take more pleas ure in the quiet day than on an oc- casion when there are numerous af- fairs going on.

THE JACQUES ESTATE.

Jacques. and Mrs Jacques held conference in Attorney Rus sells office at o'clock for the pur- pose of coming to conclusion re- garding the sale of Mir Jacques inter- est in the theater he built and called after him, and in his other property, the auditorium. There were two prop 0sitions to be considered, but the only difference between them was the amount Mrs Jacques was to receive from the Jacques theater It was prac- tically conceded that Mir Poli could lease the auditorium for ten years and during that time theatricals may be performed there. if Mir Poli so de-. sires. This would give him control of the theatrical situation in the town, for with three houses adapted to that business in his name no one else with any reason would dare build another theater.
