Taft's plurality in the state of New
York is 2O3, ,495, more than $4,000 in
excess of Roosevelt's plurality of four
years ago. Gov. Charles E. Hughes
was reelected in New York state by
71.150.
The United States senate will retain
its present Republican majority.
Judge Taft has majority in the city
of New York, the first time the big city
has given its vote to Republican
presidential candidate.
The Republican pluralities fell off
heavily in the middle west in a manner
surprising to the Republican mana
gers.
Representatives Payne Of New York
and Dalzell of Pennsylvania have been
reelected and the house of represen-
tatives probably will continue under its
old regime. Mr.. Payne will have
charge of the rev tariff bill In the eX-
ira session, which Mr.. Taft will call
Immediately after March s next.

French aa She La Spoke.

The restaurant customer pored over
the bill of fare until the waiter began
to shift ostentatiously from one foot
to the other. Then finally the GUS
toner said:
"Tll have 'emince of turkey"
"Wot's that?"
"Emince of turkey"
The name gave the waiter no clue.
"Why, look; here it is" said the GUS
toner. And he pointed out to the
waiter the exact spot on the bill of
fare where the name Of the desired
dish appeared.
"Oh," said the waiter, vastly re.
lieved. "Eminence of turkey, you
mean. Yes, sir. Whole portion-or
half?"

New Haven.-The Republicans swept
Connecticut in Tuesdays election fully
as completely and perhaps a little
more so, as four years ago, Taft carry
ing the state by more than 10000 plur-
ality and Congressman George L. Lii
ley, the Republican candidate for gov
error, going into Office by about $4,000
plurality over Judge Robertson, his OPP
ponent. All the Ave congressman are
Republican by pluralities equal to
those of two years ago. The entire Re-
publican state ticket is elected as
usual, while the general assembly is
more strongly Republican than for a
good many years.

The Nine Tailor Saw.

The tailor-he was a cutter at 5000
a week-sighed as he looked about his
luxurious apartment
She refused me-" he said. why?
Because she didn't love me? No. Be-
cause of that old saw about its taking
nine tailors to make a man.
And that saw is mistake. It is a
corruption of Nine tellers mark a
man. 1t doesn't signify that tailors
are effeminate. 1t simply shows that
mankind is liable to err.
"The toll of a bell in the olden time
was called teller, and in the olden
time the church bells tofled nine times
for every mans funeral. Hence the
saying, Nine tellers mark man
In our stupidity we have corrupted
that into, Nine tailors make man,
or 1t takes nine tailors to make a
man."
The cutter signed.
This rank error" he said, "dooms
me to bachelorhood.'

ILLINOIS,

Chicago.-The Republican national
an, state tickets gained a complete
victory in Illinois, although the plurali-
ties will probably fall short of those
obtained by the party in the campaign
of 1904. Taft has carried the state by
approximately 10000 votes, although
it will be some time Thursday before
the exact figures can be obtained
Charles S. Deneen, Republican candi-
date for governor, ran far behind the
national ticket, but has been elected
by plurality of about 100000 over
AGlai E. Stevenson, his Democratic op-
perent.
Danville, In-Joseph c. Cannon
was reelected to congress from the
Eighteenth Illinois district by plur-
ality considerably above the normal.
Returns are incomplete, but enough
figures have been obtained to show
that he will probably have a plurality
of at least 10000.

NEBRASKA,

Lincoln.-The feature in the Ne
braska election count on Thursday
was the steady decrease in the
plurality for Bryan, Returns COM
plete from 81 of the 80 counties in the
state give Bryan 121, 1,0s0, Taft 1859.
The prospects are that Bryan has car
ried the state by little over 1000.
Five of Nebraska's six congress
men are Democratic, only one Repub-
lican, Hinshaw in the Fourth dis
trict, escaping defeat by 700 votes, al

ality. The greatest surprise of all is
the overwhelming majority the Demo
Gratis will have in the legislature.

30 twice a day every seaman In the
service received a regular whisky ra-
tion, furnished by the United States
government.
On our boat were 200 sailors, who
every morning at II and every after
noon at five would line up on deck
while the allowance was dealt out.
The liquor stood in huge tin can,
and beside the can was a wooden
frame in which were set 20 little
measures called tots. Each tot con-
tanned about three swallows. AS the
men filed slowly past the cans the tots
were filled with dippsr, and each man
drank his share.
One noon our whisky gave out.
More was ordered, but the time came
for the evening ration, and still the
expected supply had failed to ar
rive. This caused trouble. The
boys had been known to take short
rations of beans and bacon without
grumbling, but to do without whisky
was another thing.
Row over to the flagship and bor-
row whisky enough for the evening
ration" was the order given me. So
with our great tin can in the
stern of our boat, and four men
to row, started for the commodore's
vessel, the Black Hawk.
AS we came alongside her in the
dusk, she loomed high above our
heads; and, glancing up, we found
ourselves directly under the muzzle
of a cannon. The loan Of whisky was
readily granted, and soon our can was
filed and lowered carefully into the
boat. AS dropped to my place and
gave the order to pull away, from
the deck of the Black Hawk, high
overhead, came voice: Young
mani"
1 looked up. There, gazing down
at me, stood the commander of the
fleet, Commodore Foote. 1 saluted
Young man, what have you got in
that CAM"
Whisky, SIR"
81 thought so." Then after q
pause: Young mani"
saluted again.
Look up here" looked.
What do you see?"
"a cannon, sir"
What does that cannon mean?"
Now this questioning made me de-
cidedly uncomfortable, and scarcely
knew how to reply. But his eyes de-
manded an answer. 1T means death
and destruction, sir" I ventured.
He bent down over the guard rail
and stretched out his forefinger
toward the can in my boat as though
he were taking aim at it, while with
the other he pointed to the cannon's
mouth directly over my head. Young
man, this cannon here does mean
death and destruction. 1t discharges
a shot that weighs Ga pounds. Yet
you, in that can Of whisky there,
are carrying more death and de-
struction to our own soldier boys
than this big gun will ever carry to
anybody"
waited. That's ALL" said the
commodore; remember it."
I saluted again, and we rowed
away. But l remembered it.
was only boy then, but many time
in the years that followed I remem
bered the true words our commodore
spoke that day.

OHIO.

OHIO.
Clncinnati.-At Tuesdays election
Ohio polled vote that sur
passed the million ballots deposited
four years ago, making new high
record for Ohio voters.
Cincinnati. = Eighty-seven of the
SS counties of Ohio, Lucas being
still incomplete and not included in
these figures, give Taft 555,977; Bryan
4S1,367; Tafts plurality 1850. Eigh-
ty-seven counties, Belmont being still
incomplete and not included in these
figures, give Harmon, Democrat for
governor, 540,7SS; Harris, Republican,
523,S97; Harmon's plurality 1891.
Total vote for president (87 counties)
1,037,344; for governor 1,O64,6S5.
Columbus.--With election returns
arriving by every mail and mis-
takes being found in over half,
the results of the state ticket seem to
favor the election of the Republican
candidates below governor. Official
returns from SO out of 8S counties
show that Charles G. Green, Republi-
can, Is elected state treasurer by near
ly 5000. Fullington, Republican can
didate for auditor, is elected by $4,000,
and Judges Shauck and Price are
elected to the supreme court by 10000.
Marietta, O.-The official count
in the Ninth-Fourteenth Ohio SEN
atorial district shows Senator
Isaiah Rose, author of the Rose coun-
ty option law, the central issue in the
recent state campaign, to have been
beaten by 80 votes. Rose says he will
contest
1t is reasonably sure that the three
constitutional amendments have failed
because they did not in the aggregate
reach anywhere near the required ma
jority of all votes cast at this election
Columbus.-Latest returns show that
Carl Anderson, Democrat, has beaten
Congressman Grant E. Mouser in the
Thirteenth district by about 1000
votes. This makes gain of four con-
gressmen in Ohio for the Democrats
The delegation will stand IL Republi-
cans to nine Democrats.
The election of a Republican to sue.
ceed Joseph B. Foraker to the United
States senate is assured by returns in
dicating that the Republicans have car
ried the general assembly by a sub
stantial joint majority. A proposed
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for a session of the legislature in
January next failed of passage. When
this became known, it was said that
the Democratic governor-elect, Judson
Harmon, would have the opportunity
to name a senator to serve from the
expiration of Senator Foraker's term
in March next until the following jan
uary, when the next regular session of
the assembly would be held. However,
it was disclosed Wednesday that the
Republicans plan to ask Gov. Harris to
call a special session before Mr.. Har-
mons term begins, for the selection of
Forakers successor. This could be
called since the term of the Legislature
begins January l, ten days before that
of the new governor. A special ses-
sion some time during January is con-
sidered essential, because of the ex-
piration of appropriations.
Columbus, O.-Gov. Harris announc-
ed Thursday that he will call an extra
session of the legislature.

Balloon the Cause Of Few Agonizlng
Moments for colored Man.

A group of aeronauts were telling
balloon stories in the smoking room of
Chicago hotel. Capt. H. e. Honey
well, who with the F1elding-Antonio
BALLOON was later to break all long
distance speed records, laughed and
said:
"The great Elyot made balloon as
cent from Charleston one hot summer
afternoon. A thunderstorm came up.
Elyot, amid buckets of rain, the roar
of thunder and the flash of lightning,
was blown about like thistledown. On
toward midnight he found himself over
a plantation and threw out his anchor
"a grapnel at the end of long rope.

died in one of the huts of this planta-
ton. The funeral was to take place
in the morning. A dozen friends Of the
dead man sat in the soft summer night
before the hut, telling ghost stories.
Suddenly, in the darkness above
them, they heard strange noises-a
Tapping as of great wings, menacing
cries. And they saw dimly formless
black shape.
"All but one man ran. This one man,
as he covered on his stool, had the i'll
luck to be seized by the grapnel.
"The grapnel, going at a great
pace, whirled him up four or five feet
in the air and jerked him along at the

INDIANA.

Indianapolis.-A radical change in
Indiana's representation in the nation
al house of representatives was tho
most striking feature of Tuesday elec-
ton. The latest unofficial returns give
the Democratic party IL members and
the Republicans two.
William H. Taft carried the state
for president by about 5000. Thomas
r. Marshall and the entire Democratic
state ticket are probably elected by a
plurality of $4,000.
The legislature is probably Demo
cratic, which means that Democratic
successor to Senator James A. Hem
enway will probably be chosen.
