ANOTHER STRIKE
Court Stenographers at Nova Scotia Refuse 10 Work
 Terms Are Accepted.

Halifax, N. S., Nov 6.-The latest industrial strike in Nova Scotia is that of the court stenographers There are five of them and they re- fuse to work longer unless the proyin- cial government accedes to t.leir terms.
 The statute fixes the pay of the court stenographers at S10 a day, but Attorney General Pipes refuses to pay them for time consumed in travelling when on the circuit. If stenographer takes the entire day to get to where the court sits, and an- other day to return. he is allowed pay only for the time that the court is in session and receives nothing for the time spent in travelling either way. The stenographers decline to submit longer to the arrangement

a TrtIst Nou1


 'I owe my salvation to three words you spoke" he wrote. "when all the world was against me you said, I trust you.'"
 If every boy or girl whs has made mistakes and gone astray could have such a friend a great many of them would return to a normal life. The feeling that somebody believes in us. trusts us. no matter what others be- lieve or say. touches tine heart. Grim inals are sometimes totally reformed through the consciousness that some body still believes fin them. no matter how low they may have fallen. Could we realize how much this trust and confde2ce would do for a man when everything else has failed we should be more generous of our confidence in our fellows.-SIccess Magazine.

OUR LARGEST SCALES.
The Monster Weighing Machine In the
 Washington Navy Yard.

The Monster Weighing Machine In the
 Washington Navy Yard.
 The biggest scales in the country are in the navy yard at Washington. They outweigh the largest railway scales by fifty tons. The latter are not to be sneezed at for they easily weigh as much as heavily loaded car. The navy yard scales are so ac- curate that they come within a pound of the exact weight. Railway scales are considered good if they come with in fifty pounds. All the large ord nance manufactured for the navy Is weighed upon this machine, which is some ten years old. The scales look like ordinary hay scales.
 The delicate mechanism is invisible, the most intricate parts being in a broad pit below the ground. The plat form is forty-eight feet long and twelve feet wide. Beneath the power full machinery is cement base laid upon long piles. A solid base being one of the prime requisites of a pow erful weighing machine. it was found necessary to use pile driver to se- cure a stable foundation.
 The machine is regarded as the fin est of its kind in the world and is a splendid achievement of American in- genuity. In order to show the ac- curacy of the scales an official picked up half a brick and tossed 1t upon the platform. He then consulted a long brass lever and found that the brick weighed just one pound.
 The capacity of the scales is 150 tons. Two twelve-inch guns lying on forty-eight foot car truck can be weighed on the machine without tax ing its capacity.-WashIngton Star.

COUNTING THE VOTES
Later Returns Show That Stories First Sent Out Were in the
 Main Correct.

New York, Nov. 6.-Additional re- turns received through the night and this morning confirm the general re- suits already announced and clear uI some of the doubts in closely contest ed elections. The main results, as now established, are as follows:
 Governor Guild of Massachusetts has increased his plurality to about 105,000 as against a plurality Of 3O,OOO in 1906. The entire state ticket and both branches of the legis- lature are republican. Of the two democratic candidates, Henry M. Whitney strongly outvoted Charles W. Bartlett, the latter falling far be- low Thomas L. Hisgen, candidate .of the Independence league.
 Maryland, which was in doubt last night, has elected the democratic can didate for governor, Judge Austen L. Brothers, and the entire democratic state ticket by about 1000 plurality. The legislature is apparently demo- cratic. Ex-Gov Smith carried the primaries for the long term in the United States senate, and Senator William Pinckney Whyte is assured of the short term.
 The result in New Jersey has, be- come so close that it may require the official returns to decide between Fra. .k S. Katzenbach, the democratic cana ;date for governor and Judge Fraf kiln Fort, the republican nomi- nee. The early reports of Katzen- bach's lead of 15,000 have been fol- lowea by detailed returns showing that tonly a few hundred votes sep arat, the contestants. At Newark, Fort s election is claimed by plur- alityEof about 175.
 Rllode Island has reelected Cover nor flames H. Higgins, democratic cand date for governor, his plurality now reaching 2,307, gain of 1000 since 1904. The general assembly is repul llican in both branches, ensur- ing the return of George Peabody Wetr lore to the United States senate.
 Kentucky has elected the entire re- publican state ticket, headed by Aug ustus E. Wilson for governor, by ma jorities ranging from 5000 to $1O,- 900. The Kentucky legislature will have a democratic majority on joint ballot and will probably elect Gov. Beckham to the United States senate.
 The New York results, city and state, remain as determined last night, Justices Edward T. and Will lard Bartlett, joint democratic and republican nominees. being eletced as justices of the court of appeals and the Tammany ticket in New York county having a plurality over the Independence league republican fu- sion candidates.

BRAND GUILTY
Man Who Accused ihe Imperial Chancellor of Infamous
 Secret Vices
IS MONTHS IN PRISON

Berlin, Nov 6.-"The charges against me are absurd and untrue," said Prince Von Buelow, the imper- ial chancellor, in court to-day, during the trial of journalist, Herr Brand, on the charge of calumniating the chancellor by intimating that re prac- tlced infamous secret vices similar to those referred to ill the Moltke-Har- den case. Brand, sickly looking young man, formerly an anarchist has already been sentenced three times to imprisonment for calumnies Prince Von Buelow was the first wit ness in his own behalf and gave his testimony in firm voice, adding the following to his declaration of inno- cence:
 Tt is untrue that have ever been the victim of blackmailing schemes connected wish perverse impulses. Nobody ever approached me in this manner"
 The chancellor denied all responsi- bility for Herr Harden's attack upon General Kuno Von MOltke and Prince Zu Eulenburg, and added that he had only heard within the past few years of the alleged perversities of Prince Zu Eulenburg and General Count Wilhelm Von Hohenau, but had no proof of the truth of the charges made.
 Prince Zu Eulenburg, who was sum- moned as witness, although he de- clares he knows absolutely nothing about the charges, appeared at the court house, though in very broken condition of health. He required a quarter of an hour to drag himself up the staircase. The public prosecu- tor brought the action against Brand at the chancellor's instance.
 Brand was found guilty and was sentenced to eighteen months inn prisonment, and he was at once taken into custody.
