Arts Elder Days

All the works Of art buried in an
Egyptian tomb were intended to
last 10000 years. That intention
governed the artists and reacted
upon the style Of the art of Egypt.
It is a most important fact-per-
haps the most important and fun
damental fact that the student of
Egyptian art has to remember.
There was no place for passion in
such an art, none for grace, none
even for charm. Each figure had
merely to be made lucid-plainly
occupied about its business or visi-
bly, shaped in the form required,
and that was all. The art of the
Egyptian tomb vas to serve a use
full purpose, not to please. - Sir
Martin Conway in North American

How Sound Waves Move.

The speed with which sound
waves are transmitted through the
atmosphere depends upon several
conditions. When the temperature
is at 80 degrees F. sounds move
with a speed Of 1000 feet per sec
ond, the velocity increasing with
the temperature at the rate Of
about one foot of speed per second
for each degree above the freezing
point. Then again, in damp air
sound moves with a greater velocity
than it does in dry air, no odds il
the dry air be warm and the damp
cold. In water sound moves more
than four times as fast as it does in
air, or say at about the rate Of
4,70O feet per second.

WITTPEN REELECTED
OVER PAGAN BY 1000.
New Idea Members Say Regulars
Knitted Ticket.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 3.-Mayor IL
Otto Wittpenn was reelected Mayor
over Mark M. Pagan by a majority
estimated today at 1000. This is based
on a partial canvass of the Al, 554 votes
polled. While Pagan made some gains
over his vote of two years ago, when
Mayor Wittpenn defeated him by 1000,
the Democratic candidate held his own.
The Fifth, Fagan's home ward, gives
him a small majority. He will also
have a majority in the Eighth and
Ninth wards.
At the New Idea headquarters Fa-
CAMS defeat is conceded, and is at
tributed to the knitting done by the
Regulars, who openly opposed him at
the polls.

PARIS, Nov. 3.-Not since 1902. when
Frederic and Therese Humbert were
convicted of a $12, O0O, 900 swindle, has a
trial in5Paris excited the intense inter-
est exhibited in the case of Madame
Adolphe Steinheil, which was opened

he'll Is on trial for her life. charged
with the murder of her husband and
her mother-fn-law, Madame Japy. The
alleged motive is found in the defend
ants hatred for her mother-in-law and
a desire to rid herself of the husband
in order that she might marry Maurice
Borderel, a wealthy merchant, who had
become infatuated with her.
The talent and attractiveness of the
woman, combined with the mystery of
her career and her connections with
persons high in the public life of
France, have fed the popular magma
ton and led the public to believe that
the most startling disclosures are i'm
minent4l
Judge De Wales had received $4,000
applica' ons for seats in the court room
but he arbitrarily refused all, with the
exception of those made for members
of the press, the bar and others directly
concerned with the trial. To these were
added the first 100 persons, who, stand
ing in line this morning, sought admis-
sion to the court room. The law pro-
vides for public admission to the trial
of any case not heard in camera, and
the admission of the 100 mentioned met
this requirement of the law today. In
the hope of securing one Of these COW
eted places many men and women stood
before the court entrance throughout
last night, and places of vantage in the
line commanded as high as 5000. In
refusing the many applications for
seats Judge De Wales declared that he
did not propose to tolerate a repeti-
ton of previous scandals by turning
the present proceedings into a music
hall performance.
Most of today's session was occupied |
with the selection of a jury and the
reading Of the Indictment, the examina-
ton of the prisoner beginning late in
the afternoon. /

BANTA DEFEATED FOR
NUTLEY TOWN COUNCIL.

The result of the election in Nutley
yesterday was about what vas expect
ed, with the exception of the defeat OF
Henry F. Banta, the Republican candi-
date for reelection to the Town Council,
who was defeated by his Democratic
opponent, Matthew j. Callahan, who
put up a strong fight and won out by
so majority.
Banta, VINO has been a member of
the Town Council for man. years., was
thought to be a sure winner, but dur
ing the past year he lost ground for
various reasons. Yet his defeat in a
strong Republican ward was some
what ofsa surprise.
In the Second ward Arthur R. Carr
| won u by a majority of "a. His DEM
| ocratic opponent, Jens Dorch, made an
exceedingly strong showing, as Carr
had the Endorsement of the Second
Ward Association. a civic organization
of considerable influence in the ward.
In the Third ward it was a %foregone
conclusion that Ernest G. Welschedel
would be elected over his Democratic
opponent, John H. Hawkins, who, al
though making a strong fight, was han
~dicapped by the strong Republican ma
jority in the ward.
For assessor, Thomas S. Brown had
no opponent, and necessarily .polled a
large vote in all three wards.
In the First ward there was a bitter
contest for constable between John
Jamison, Democrat, and Sabine Ciardi,
Republican, but the young vote elected
Jamison by a majority of 81.
For surrogate, 2 George e, Russell
polled 722 votes against Isaac Shoen-
thals 239. The Republican Assembly
ticket polled about four to n over
the Democratic ticket.
