The New York Herald has made
its usual forecast Of The national and
Slate elections in New York estate.
Its reliable representative have
studied the situation In each and ever
election district in the Common
wealth. The Herald's estimates and
forecasts are the most aulhoritive
known. Year after year they have
been sustained by actual results.
The Herald comes to the conclu-
sion that Taft will carry the State
but that ChanlerYthe Democratic non
inee for Governor, will defeat Hughes
At the same time, It recognizes the
fact that If the drift to Chanler is
big enough it may swing me State
for Bryan.
The Democrats appear more unit
ed than at any time for years,
says the Herald, and their candi-
dates will probably receive The full
party vote. Among the Republicans
on the other hand, there are serious
dissentions, and 1t seems that many

COMMON ORIGIN OF ALL LIFE.
Biologists Of To-day Now Are Inclined

Biologists having failed TO prove

Prof Svante Arrhenius is attracted by
the idea that all life has had com.

single source 10 many worlds. The
discovery Of the pressure Of light has
added probability TO panspermy,

 By the use of the dash in these para graphs the names of the correspondents are kept secret.
 In blanket paragraph" Mrs. Gould charges her husband with giving rich jewelry to several women and large sums of money
 Through his counsel Frank J. Gould, while not denying the charges or the gifts of gems and money, objects to the secrecy as to the names of the CO., respondents and asks the court to or der Mrs. Gould to furnish the names of the women.
 Herbert c. Smyth, opposing the mo- tion, said
 "Mr Gould revels in the publicity he causes himself. forgetting that the ones he really hurts are the innocent little daughters of himself and wife. The sole reason apparently for this motion to strike out paragraphs from Mrs. Gould's complaint is that he is aggrieved in being required to answer them.
 "The counsel for Mir. Gould moved before the court for an order directing Mrs. Gould to make her complaint more defiDite and certain, describing by street and number or by descrip- tion of the house and its location when Frank J. Gould called in, North Syd. ney, c. B., while his yacht, the Hele- meta, named for his wife, lay in the harbor We have complied with that order. but apparently we have done 1t too well to suit them..
