HAIRVIEW. LINCOLN, Neb.. Nov.
3,-William j. Bryan received to-
"A night at his home. Fairview the
returns which early told him that for
the third time he had been defeated
in the greatest ambition of his life.
Confident of victory to the very last.
he was not prepared to believe that
his cause was lost until the pluralities
of his Republican opponent piled up
in such proportions as to leave no
room for doubt.
When the early returns came in he
made especial inquiries regarding the
state of New York, and found much
encouragement in the gai--7 he was
making upstate over the Democratic
vote of 1904; but as the figures con-
tinued to be received he relied on
Greater New York to offset the heavy
Taft vote above the Harlem river.
Realizes State Is Lost
Even in that he was bitterly disap-
pointed and he soon realized that the
state was hopelessly gone and with II
his prospects of being elected.
According to the predictions of his
he was led to believe he
would be elected without the aid of the
Empire state, and he turned his in
ouiries toward Ohio and Indiana. The
heavy Democratic gain in the Thir-
teenth Ohio district was source of
satisfaction and then indicated the
prophesies that Ohio would go Demo-
cratic would be fulfilled.
He also derived much comfort from
a telegram from John e. Lamb, a mem
ber of the advisory committee from
Indiana, stating the indications were
that Indiana was Democratic, from
the fact that his own precinct had

given him handsome majority and in
the reports that he again would carry
his own state.
After nearly three hours spent in his
library, Mr. Bryan went up stairs and
talked to the newspaper men and
others who had assembled in the work
ROOM" He read some further re-
turns, but they told the same story
of defeat, and he announced that he
would not have any statement to give
out tonight.
A large number of the voters of his
precinct canre in to congratulate him
on its having gone for him, and after
chatting with them for a while he went
INTO the house, first stating he would
retire at 10 o'clock.
While a number of Democratic lead
ers throughout the country commune
Gated with the candidate by telegraph,
the absence of any word UP to a late
hour from Chairman Mack was the
subject of comment
During the evening the friends of the
Bryan family from the surrounding
country dropped in, and after being re-
ceived by Mrs. Bryan showed their
interest in the election by remaining
to hear the returns.
The sun parlor presented a CAV an
peafance as the ladies, many of them
In evening dress, eagerly scanned the
bulletins and 'endeavored to figure out
a Democratic victory, while the men
assembled in little groups to talk over
the situation.
Mrs. Leavitt. Mr.. Bryan's oldest
daughter, would not concede that her
father had lost his fight, and remained
up until a late hour, believing that
more favorable news would be forth
coming
The sun parlor of his home turned
into temporary telegraph and news

~ ONCEDING that the Repub-
'licans have carried their
~ ticket, with the possible ex-
ceptions of Anthony Schwam and
Frank Haddock, for supervisor,
the leading members of the Los
Angeles County Democratic COM
mittee left their headquarters in
the Fay building at 2 o'clock this
morning.
The developments between
midnight and , o'clock were such
that the committee reluctantly
conceded that Jud Rush and
Judge Albert Lee Stephens had
both been defeated and that
Woollacott's chances for election
also had gone glimmering. There
was a faint ray of hope for the
other two stpervisoral aspirants,
Messrs. Schwamm and Haddock,
however.
On the basis of the returns counted
and estimated it is thought that the
Republicans will carry Los Angeles
county by about 11,O00 and that Nc
Lachlan's lead over Rush will be about
1000 or 5000.
The Democratic leaders are not de-
TERED by the defeat, but promise a
reorganized revivifed organization
which will proclaim Democratic prin
ciples with more energy than ever,
holding the Republicans responsible in
the meantime if they do not bring back
the prosperity they promised
The heavy vote was a surprise to
many. Though the guesses were made
early the actual figures We're late.
Only about rs precincts had been
counted at midnight, and the figures at
that hour We're purely speculative.
Because of this uncertainty the coun-
ty committee declined to make a state
ment, preferring to wait till morning.
The Republicans at that hour in
sisted that they had elected all their
ticket.
McLachIan Winner
Congressman James McLachlan's
friends claim his election by bout 1000
majority, but Rush's friends decline to
admit defeat for him until later proof
is forthcoming.
Friends of Judge Albert Lee Ste
phens, Democrat. held to the last that
he had won sufficient votes to make
him one out of nine Republican judges
on the bench.
Judge Curtis d. Wilbur, now on the
bench, leads the judicial ticket, but
scratching has been done in the cases
of Charles Monroe and Nathanier p. |
Conrey. Both were candidates for re-
election.
More scratching was done on Frank
r. Willis than on the others.
The supervisorial ticket brought out |
many interesting controversies. The
fight for these offices was fiercely pro-
longed.
With Republicans in control it will !
perpetuate the hold of the "Solid three
on the county's affairs, as "Tus" FL
bridge and Charles Manning remain as
holdovers
The Republicans who claim election
as supervisors are H. D. McCabe
against Woollaeott c. J. Nellis against
Haddock and r. w. Pridham against
Anthony Schwamm.
Why They Lost
Some of the Democratic leaders are
inclined to blame the laboring men for
not supporting Bryan as they had been
led to believe would be the case. Head Il
quarters had been informed that GER Il
tain arguments were being used with Il
the union men the last few days which

ORIGIN OF MOVING PICTURES.
Result of Experiment to Show Both
Sides of a Coin,
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the chicago lilbune
The beginning of moving pictures was
in this wise: Sir John Herschel after
dinner in 1896 asked his friend Charles
Babbage how he would show both sides
of a shilling at once Babbage replied by
taking shilling from his pocket and
holding it to mirror.
This did not satisfy Sir John. who set
the shilling spinning upon the dinner
table. a the same time pointing out that
If the eye is placed on level with the
rotating coin both sides can be seen at
once Babbage was so struck by the ex-
pertinent that the next day he described
it to a friend. DR. Fitton. who imme-
diately made a working model
On one side of a disk was drawn a bird.
on the other side an empty birdcage /;
when the card was revolved on silk
thread the bird appeared to be in the
cage This model showed the persist ence
of vision upon which all moving pic
lures depend for their effect. The eye re-
tains the image of the object seen for a
fraction of scond after the object has
been removed. This model was called
the thaumotrope.
Next came the zoetrope. or wheel of
life. A cylinder was perforated with a
series of slots and within the cylinder
was placed a band of drawings of dane
ing men. On the apparatus being slowly
rotated the figures seen through NE slots
appeared to be in motion. The first syste-
matte photographs taken at regular IN
tervals of men and animals were made by
Muybridge in 1877.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-05-10

Of the latter there were very few in
evidence with the exception of the reg
ular force of hostlers and workmen. who
did not act a bit like heroes, but did their
work in the same prosaic fashion that
other men do il. and when 1t was finished
they threw themselves on the ground con-
venient to the shady side Of some thing
and fell asleep az other mortals do.
Of course Mondays performance was
the most interesting. the parade was
held on that day Long before the hour
set for the pageant the route Of the line
OF march was lined with thousands of
people. They were all there. Business
men forgot their business and talked of
the days when they were boys and fol-
lowed in the wake Of the grand process
sion. Fashion forsook her mornings pom
derings over her social affairs and came
to see the passing cavalcade. Our cousins
from over seas. who come 10 Washington
to represent their countries, took their
part In the general jolliacation They
were in evidence here and there. and eX
pressed their appreciation OF the display.
1T was, however. the boy who enjoyed
the parade To the greatest degree. He
was in evidence everyWhere--on bicycles,
on skates. on foot. running and jumping
in and out through the wagons. whis:ling
and cheer ng and laughing uproariously.
During the two days there were four
performances and it is estimated that
the show was witnessed by more than
10000 people. This means that more
than one-third OF the CT US population
contributed toward the general fun MAX
ing. for half the fun is caused by the
coming together of large crowds and the
good natured badinage that results. The

with the rest of the crowd and went
along to see. When Langtry was reach
ed the crowd crossed over into Mexico
and the memorable fight took place.
Returning to the American side. several
hours had to be spent in waiting for
the arrival of the train. The saloon of
Justice of the Peace Roy Bean. who
styled himself The law west of the
Pecos.' was filled by motley crowd. A
number of gambling games started up.
and there was a lively time. Capt. Nc
Donald was sitting at one of the tables
watching game that was in progress
between several men Of the west who
had wide regulations as killers One
Of the players. however. was mere
youth. who had come all the way from
New York and was having his first eN-
perience in western ways. One OF the
bad men became angered at some play
the young man had made and began to
abuse him Capt. Mcdonald took his
arms off the table. and. looking the
bad" man squarely in the eyes said:
leave that boy alone"
THE veteran gambler flushed with
rage at what he considered was an in
reference on the part of Capt. McDOn-
aid.
Maybe YOU want to take it up? he
rOared in a rage.
Capt Mcdonald sat unmoved. He
looked across the table al the fellow
and replied:
I've done took it up
The gambler stared a the captain
moment and then resumed the game.

KILLED FAMOUS SNAKES.
Students Test Superstition in An
cient Chinese Temple.

Iinchow Cor. South China Post
Across the river there is a temple. ia
NOUS for its idols and charms. Among
its charms were three snakes that the
temple keeper jealousy guarded ana
watched. They were renowned far ana
wide and .isits We're paid to them resu-
larry by officials. scholars and all classes
of people. They were said TO possess
cures for all diseases. salvation for all
troubles and degrees for all students. All
that was necessary was to worship them.
few months ago the subject of their
efficiency. together with the idols. etc.
was discussed by the students here. which
resulted in visit to the temple and the
killing of one of the famous snakes.
The news got around later that the
student that had killed the snake mao
died as result of his folly. because mad
not the snakes power 10 Dless anu 10 III
jure?
This rumor was kept up COR a long time.
and so the face" of the temple was re-
stored.
1t is said that these snakes are over a
hundred years old.
Last Sunday number of students went
over again to the temple to have look
at the idols. and no doubt the sight
brought back old scores. because they pro-
ceeded to pull the idols down from their
content with this they proceeded to the
place where the remaining two famous
snakes were kept and with stones killed
them
The temple keeper ran out into the mar
ket crying that foreign devil students had
killed the snakes. and calling together the
PEOPLE. they chased the students out of
the market.
Alas now for the famous temple. It's
snakes are killed its idols desecrated and
those who did it are still living. and the
subject is regarded huge joke by the
students here.

and that it would be pulled off at a re-
mote point in Mexico. just across the

Mcdonald did not know whether this
was ruse or not. He boarded the train
