An Unpleasant Climate

Karachi, port in northern India,
has most unpleasant climate. The
parched desert country behind Kar-
achi has terrific heat. .Jocobabad
thirty miles away, often records 125
degrees +. The one mail train q day
carries a coffin in the hot wethel
season "for the use of passengers, "
if need be, and in one year long ago
twcnty-three European engine drivers
died while working their trains. A
long journey by train in the hot sea-
son is particularly exhausting. Car
riagc windows are kept shut to ex-
cludc the heat, and sometimes not on
ly docs the woodwork get hot to the
touch, but even the water carried in
the tanks on the roof can scarcely be
endured with the hand.

Is Under Arrest.

New York, Nov.-Congressman w. Bourke Cochran was arrested on a charge of illegal voting Tuesday af- ternoon at a polling place in Third avenue. The policeman who made the arrest said he could not verify the ad- dress given by MT. Cochran at BIO East Seventeenth street, from which address MT. Cochran had registered. The congressman was taken to the police station and thence to the police court. MT. Cochran is grand sachem of Tammany Hall. A servant at the East Seventeenth street house had sworn that no one named Bourke Cochran lived there; and Magistrate Cornell issued the warrant while un- der the impression that some one was trying to vote the congressman
 name. When Mir Cochran was arraign ed in court one of the state attorney generals assistants denounced the ar rest as an outrage, and MT. Cochran
 was promptly discharged. MT. Cock ran said the East Seventeenth house was his residence before he went tc Congress, and that he had never for

Votes on Prohibition.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov.-With the adoption of absolute prohibition in three counties in two days, Alabama has Al out of 67 counties that will have cut out the legal sale of liquors after the first day of January. As no county has failed to adopt the anti liquor policy by overwhelming ma jority, it is safe to presume that nine more in which elections are arranged for will go the same way, leaving only 17 that allow the sale in any way. More than half of this number re- strict the sale to one or two towns by dispensaries. There are only four counties that have agitated for prohi- bition, all small. Four cannot be reached by the local option law, as they have dispensary rights for two years. The four are Madison, Perry, Barbour and Colbert. It is deemed certain that a state prohibition bill will pass at the session of the legis- lature to assemble Thursday.
