 lyn. Wins Out at Primaries.

New York, Sept S.-By carrying eighteen of the twenty-three assem- bly districts of Brooklyn in the pri- maries Senator Patrick H, McCarren to-day maintained his political control of Kings county, only four of the sev- en revolted districts returning anti McCarren leaders,
 In the 23d, 10th, 11th and 22d dis tricts, the insurgents were successful. This, however, will not affect the sit uaton and leaves McCarren in con- trol of the democratic codnty com- mittee.

McCar- ren's leadership was at stake, and tho battle involved McCarren claimed, the latest effort of the Tammany tiger to "cross the bridge" and at last set a foothold of control in Brooklyn, against which McCarren has waged a long, desperate and thus far success full warfare.

REDUCING EXPENSES
General Registrars Plan Spe- cial Election to Save Many
 Hundred Dollars.
ESTIMATE COST AT SLIGO
Gut of 100 In Counters and About % in Other Polling Place Officials
 Is Decided Upon.

General Registrars Knollmeyer and Mcfarland met their deputies last night in city hall and went over with them the plans for the special elec- tlon which is to be held next Monday The principal point of interest about the plans is the fact that they have been so made as to materially reduce the expense of the election to the city despite the cry that the special elec- ton would cost as much as, a regular election The registrars estimate that they will be able to cut the usual elec- ton expenses of between $l.600 and sl.s00 down io about sl.100. To do this the number of workers at the polls will be very materially reduced. The most sweeping part of the reduc- ton will affect the number of count CTS. The Jaw allows as many as ten counters at each polling place, but the numbers this time will be kept so low, largely because of the .compara- lively light vote expected and the fact that all will be straight ballots, that about one hundred less counters will be employed than Is usual. AsslUant box tenders allowed by law at each of the polling places will be among those cut out, and there will be about ninety less officials at the polls throughout the city. without counting the count CTS. This will bring about the reduc- ton in expenses which Is figured upon.
 The registrars are figuring that there will be around fifty per cent. of the normal general election vote cast at the special election next Monday This will not only materially lessen the amount of counting, but will re- quire less attendance at the polling places 10 keep up to the time.

For more than century mccr-
schaum has been extensively used In
the manufacture Of pipes and cigar
holders, the principal source Of supply
for the material being deposits IN the
plains OF Asia Minor abou, l20 miles
southeast Of Constaniinople, These
deposits are said 10 have been worked
for other uses for more than ,hou-
sand years

by "erumc dc mcr,' which may be
less beautifully translated Scum Of

diminish the smokers enjoyment OF

The ease with which mecschanm
can be carved, It's whi,eness, and tho
fine polish i, takes with wax render
il especially suitable for elaborate
carving and artistic treatment in the
manufacture Of pipes These pipes
are priced for the rich cream-brown
or brown color that the bowls assume
after being smoked while, This
color IL caused by the permeation
through the mcersehaum Of the mix
ture Of the nicotine from the tobacco
with the wax used In polishing the
pipe. As long as there is absorbed
wax in the meerchaum the color OF
the pipe will grow darker and with
continued smoking will become nearly
black. !, Is therefore necessary to
"fx" the color Of the pipe when the
proper shade Is reached, The method
employed 10 accomplish this Is in part
a trade secret.
The manufacture OF meerschaurn
into pipes Is thriving industry in
parts OF Germany and Russia, en-
ploying more than 5000 workmen
II is said tha, the supply OF mcrSch'
aum for this industry Is becoming low
and the discovery Of deposits OF the
mineral in New Mexico is therefore
interesting.
Two deposits Of mecrsehaum have
been located in the upper ella River
valley, one about q miles east OF
north Of Silver City. the other at a
mine about II miles northwest OF
