current, in six hours and twenty
five minutes. In 1907 Miss Keller
man visited America, but her six
months stay was a social jaunt
rather than series of exhibitions,
for she had many relatives and
friends here who desired to enter
tain her. This time she has come
over after records, and her first
startling feat was performed at
Boston on July 81, when she swan
from Cbarlestcwn Bridge to Boston
Light, distance of twelve miles, in
six and one-half hours. The course
is tortuous one with many cross
currents, thanks to its numerous is
lands, and is the terror of all pro-
fessional swimmers.
Miss Kellerman is five feet seven
inches in height and weighs about
40 pounds. She is perfectly pro-
with shoulders we'll de-
veloped, yet not in the e S t
"bunchy" or masculine. Her feet
are small, with finely arched insteps.
Her arms taper to wellformed hands
and perfectly cared for nails. Her
taste in dress is American, her man.

Miss Sutton, the American tennis
champion, she is very cool in action.
Miss Kellerman now has rival in
England, whom many think may
yet reap the championship. Her
name is Maud Smith. She is only
18 years old, but in various tests she
has shown herself a powerful swim

HALLEY'S COMET.
Celestial Traveller Is Due
Soon for First Time
Since 1888.

Halley's comet, the most sensa-
tional of the sky truants known to
astronomers, has looped the loop in
its whirl through a billion miles of
space and is heading this way again
on the visit which it makes to these
parts every seventy-five years.
This news does not come by wire
less or celestial correspondence of
any sort, but purely by way Of mum
dane communication with the
Yerkes observatory at Lake Geneva,
where elaborate preparations are
being made for photographing the
visitor. The first plate will be ex-
posed two weeks from tonight, and
at close intervals thereafter through
out the fall, winter and spring of
10000.
The comet will not be visible to
the naked eye, however, until well
along in 1909, and will swoop into its
pergihelion, the point of its course
closest to the sun, about May 10
1909.
Will it strike the earth and smash
things into bits? This has been
popular fear ever since this heavenly
visitor was first observed, along

AN EXCESSIVE NOISE
It's Effect Upon the Physical System as Illustrated in
 Factories,
FALL RIVER COTTON MILLS
There the Girls Develop Marked Ten drnric- to Nnlnutrtinn and
 ,ncmia at Once.

In the mill of Fall River, as in all factories everywhere, there has been during the past hundred years, Q con- uaut sharpening of the intensity of tho work. The weight of factory work has not increased But tho strain has The old factory with it's slower and more cumhrous machinery, wcarlcd the muscles The modern factory racks the nerves The consequence of over work in the old factory was sheer fla tigue and collapse. The consequence Of oyerwork In modern factory is ner- vous prostration.
 The maluutrtIon and anemia SO ire. duoutly remarked among factory girls munities are not caused by their work ing harder or longer than their mothers (which they don't do), but by their working under greater tension. In tho cotton mills of Fall River you may still find plenty of actual physical
  comfort But running all through that cxertou and discomfort. like the irri- tated fiber of truly modern nervous system, there is an eager intensity that the worker of older days never knew. The modern girl weaver operates on toeH twenty looms And the other looms in the same weave-room stretch before her and behind her Tracking, checking, never slackng" Score after score Of them there are, in rows so long that sometimes they merge iudis- tncly with cotton-haae at their farthest onward reach
 The mere constant sight that con stantly agitated choppy sea of looms has undoubtedly a nervous effect. And the ear is attacked even more sharply than the eye. Hacking. olacking, ueyer-slacNne," when applied to a loom, needs another rhyme, namely, quacking
 If you can imRaine a gigantic and particularly raucous duck kind of supor-duck, standing about as high as your shoulder and gifted with a core spondinply enlarged quaok; and if you can imagine yourself in the middle of an acre of such ducks, with a low roof above you and all the windows tight shut around you and if you can imagine all those ducks quackIng simultaneously can get a faint notion of weaye-room,--W William Hard. in Everybody's for November,

PRESIDENT WAS
 A GOOD PROPHET Prediction Made to Senator Lodge on October 26 an Exceptionally Accurate
 Forecast,
A GUESS ON MARYLAND
Expected Failing on in Middle West and Gain for Taft East of AllC- ghcnlcs--One Thousand
 Congratulations.

Washington, Nov 4--The president was in a very cheerful frame of mind to-day and told the newspaper men that the election of Mir. Taft wholly carried out a prophecy made by him in a letter written to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, dated october PC, 1908, In this letter the president said:
 Dear Cabot:
 Prophecy is very bad until after the event Nevertheless I must send you line to say that 1 think the situation Is steadily improving in ohio. East of the Alleghanies l be- llcve we shall have a larger popular plurality than four years ago; in other words that Taft's plurality will be greater than mine, and I think that our electoral vote will be larger east of the AlleGhanies than four years ago because l think the chances slightly favor us in Maryland al- though this represents a good deal of guess work,
 West of the Alleghanies I think we shall see a heavy falling off In the ma iorlties as compared with 1904, but l dc not anticipate the loss of any electoral votes excepting in Missouri and Neva- da, and 1 am inclined to think that we have an even chance of carrying Ken | tucky'
 | Over 1000 tclcgrams and many let | ters of congratulation on the result ot | the election poured into the White l House today for President Roosevelt f He was busy all day reading these messages and dictating replies to them No callers were received during the | day
 The president said there seemed tr be some doubt through the country about the meaning of the word "fraz. 2lc" which he used recently in referring to the campaign by saving We've got 1 them beaten to a frazzlo," He explain. cd that IL was a common word in th' south and he had used 1t since he wa' a boy ITO those who do not know what I meant hy the word 'frazzle, said the president, the best definition | can give fig to refer them to the cleo ton returns.

Thinks Taft Will Perform His Duties We'll But Bryan Would Have Been
 Better.
ISSUES A STATEMENT
Would Have Laws Enforced Against NiOlaturs Instead of PrOseCut- ing Their Innocent
 Victims.

Washington, Nov, 4.--Judge Alton R, Parker, the democratic nominee for president in 1904 gave out a statement to The Associated Press here tonight expressing his views on the result of the election as follows;
 "Whne l believe that Judge Taft will ably and consclentiously perform the duties of the presidency I am nevertheless of the opinion that the election of Mr. Bryan would have been far better for the country.
 "Wo need, to quote an oft-used ox- pression, a change of measures and of men-this including the enforcement of existing laws against it's violators, in- stead of prosecuting the atter's inno- cent victims; the opening Of the gov ernmcnt books by experts unatrald Co crltlcise: the practice of economy in the expenditure of public funds no longer even promised by tho rcpubli- can party: the revision of the tariff hy a substantial reduction of duties; and the enactment of a federal corrupt practices act still more drastio than tho New York act
 "Wo shall continue to fall short of our ideal of a government of the peo- pie. hy the people and for the people, so long as tho money of those who en- ioy special privileges holds tho balance or power This factor the republican party win not eliminate for thereby It commits suicide,
 Again the trend towards socialism, |unmstakahle as it is among an class os. is duc in no small measure to the patornaHsm of the republican party in protecting and onrlchng the favored row From the existing evils of dom- mpnt ropuhlicnnism and the throaten- ed evils of socialism the careful husl- ness man. he industrious laborcr and the prudent producer must all seek a shield and protector and naturally must 1 turn 10 the democratic party.
 While we arc greatly disappointed we should not be discouraged, It Is apparent as we scrutln2e tho source asd volume Of the support of the assist ant republican parties. viz The popu- 1 llet and independence parties that thc 1 democratic party must continue to be | one of the great two parties
 Now for tho first time in years, says Judge Parker in conclusion we have a united party once again there is a disposition among lts mem bcrs to reason together and work to- gethor for the public good We should therefore congratulate Mr. Bryan and ourselves upon this im- provrmcnt of general party conditions under his candidacy and set ourselves rcsolptely to the strengthening of the party for tho contests of the future.

PRESS OPINION OF IT
Old Trouble Originated in German DesertiOns from the French Foreign Legion in

Paris, Nov 1.-The generally good impression upon financial sentiment in this city produced by the election of William H.

 Germany asked arbitration for the question of international law involved in the right of Germany to protect her subjects who had enlisted in the for eign legion and who subsequently de- serted France accepted this proposal provided fhai the arbitration should 1ver the question of fact whether Ger man influences at Casahlanca inspired the assertions Germany refused this counter offer and France hes doolhei to<modify her attitude.
