Near the getting within I'll miles of
Pole. the south pole, while Peary
is still vending his way
toward that Of the north. While the
practical benefit to be derived from
an actual conquering by man of these
desolate wastes is nil, the energy dis
played and the heroism required are
stimulating to the race. And it is
always the indomitable Caucasian
who dares the seeming impossible.
1t is reported that DIR. Chas. W.
Eliot, the venerable
New and beloved ex-presi-
Ambassador? dent of Harvard, is to
be sent as ambassador
to the lordly Court of st. James, sue
ceeding Wihitelaw Reid. No doubt
DR.. Eliot as a scholarly gentleman
would fill the position with distinct
credit to himself and his government.
His utterances on the race question,
on his recent visit to the South, how
ever, show that he is on that subject
exceedingly superficial, holding quite
the British view Of our situation. He
still talks of the vast accomplishment
Of the negro race Gin thirty years :"
in manner as childishly unmindful
of the fact that the negro race is fully
as old in the world as the white, and
that all its advance has been along the
lines Of pure imitation.

Appointments. dorsements from the

sufficient to cinch the job, which re-
minds one to ask why it is that said

final word on everything? The rich
banker, the wealthy business man, the
fashlonables, generally haven't much
need to fear that their women-folk
will have to take a clerkship under
some glorifed Sambo and in their
strictly impersonal dealings it doesn It
make much difference to Mr.. Banker

does make a difference to the citizen
OF modest means, whose girls are
brave enough to earn their own living
and who should interpose between
them and any condition that tends to,
break down white supremacy. The
Southern man who thoughtlessly

far than any carpet-bagger Of the re-

pressed the opinion that
the Fitzgerald notifications to the

OCCUPANTS SAVED
SAVANNAH RUNS DOWN THE
"STAG" IN THE OHIO
RIVER.

Swamped in the gasoline launch
Stag IL, by the big steamer City of
Savannah. which was backing away
from the wharfboat. Frank Garrett,
a young riverman. and Maurice Ly-
don experienced a close call from
death at 40 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Garrett chung to the Savannah
and was picked up and let on at the
TSland Greek bridge. while Lydon
was rescued by deckhands on the
steamer George Cowling just as the
Stag was going under.
The accident happened about $50
yards from the wharfboat just as the
st. Louis and Tennessee river packet
was backing away from the dock for
the Tennessee river. Garrett and
Lydon. who had been for a ride up
the Tennessee were returning back
To their moorlngs at the foot OF JEFF
ferson street, when the engine on the
launch went dead just before they
reached the wharfboat. Without oars
they were helpless and made efforts
to start the engine again. The Sa-
vannah blew a warning signal and
steamed back directly at the launch,
the pilot evidently not seeing the
launch behind.
The wheel OF the steamer struck
the launch allowing II TO half I'LL
Garrett was knocked overheard and
In some manner grabbed the Savan-
nah and chung on. The sinking
launch with Lydon was drifting down
with the current. while headed for
the wharfboat was the Metropolis
packet. George Cowling. As the
boat neared Lydon a life preserver
was tossed out to him and a rope.
Iydon grabbed the rope and was
pulled up just as the Stag went I'M
der and sank In many feet OF water.
Bob Wathen and Kenny Murray
were owners OF the Stag. a new little
boat. valued at $500, and equipped
with ii-horse-power engine. II

PERSIAN TROUBLE
AROUSBS RUSSIA
TO SEND TROOPS

Teheran, Persia. Nov. 3.-Two
thousand soldiers today were dis
patched to Ardebil, which according
to reports to the government. was
captured by revolving tribesmen. As
the troops can not reach there before
two weeks II is feared the entire town
will be pllaged and the inhabitants
massacred. The sole defense of the
town is a force of 100 Russian Cos
sacks. who form the guard to the
consulate and are known to be short
of ammunition. AS Ardebil has many
Russian residents. the Russian gov
ernment also ordered troops there to
suppress an outbreak, which gener-
ally Is believed to be the beginning
of tribal movement, furthering the
return TO power of the deposed shah,
who is now guest" OF the Russian
government at Odessa.

The County Races.

II rekuired but a little while last
night to ascertain that the county,
which is strongly Democratic. would
elect the full Democratic ticket by
reduced majorities. Alben Barley,
head of the county ticket, carried the
city by 23 votes and the county by
499. Some of the candidates went
ahead of this and some behind,
scratching in every precinct being
remarkable and diversified.
County Chairman David Brown
ing. of the Republican committee,
is receiving praise for his good work
in conducting a vigorous campaign
and reducing the almost overwhelm-
ing majority. T. N. Hazelip made a
strong race and T. Il. Ford for
sheriff came within AS of carrying
the city. Either Harry Williamson
or Professor Smith could have de-
feated Singleton for clerk. judging
from the returns. Other candidat/
on the Republican ticket ran well
with the head of 1t.
AS an organization the Republican
party comes out of the fight har-
monious, and there never was less
factional difference than now.

BY the meager majority of So out
of a registered majority OF Sill Dave
Cross, Democratic candidate for
police judge, was reelected yester-
day over John j. Dorian, while the
Republicans secured all four OF the
aldermen, four of the seven council
men and six Of the eight school trus-
tees.
The race was conceded to be close,
but friends of Dorian were certain
of his election, especially when such
precints as Savage's, Rogers. Bern
hardt's in the west end showed Cross
running far behind his registration.
But Diegel's, the Pillow Factory on
lower Broadway and the South Side
of the Court House, No. 2. threw a
chill into the Dorian men, and Cross
from the fate Of the remainder OF
the ticket.
These precincts, which are typical,
showed the following conditions I'M

3S Republicans and voted 81, while
IL ltSiSlcIci lUl DtuOtTdlS anu

Republicans and voted 161, and reg
istered III Democrats and voted SO.
Rogers registered 81 Republicans
and voted 10, and registered 200
Democrats and voted 1874.
On the other hand Diegers regis

only 81, while ii registered Sc Demo

tered Democratic majority of Sill.
Mr.. Dorian made magnificent race,
and. while he did not keep up with
all of the ticket, he proved no detri-
ment to IL; for everything else in the
city was sacrificed to the end that
Cross might hold enough Democrats
to elect him. II was done by the use
of every means known to politicians
to accomplish their end, but he was
only salvage out of the wreck of
other hopes.

RED WIDOW" CASE
ATTRACTS CROWD
MOB FIGHTS TO GET INTO COURT
ROOM WHERE SHE Is ON
TRIAL FOR MURDER.

Paris. Nov. 3.-Twenty-three thou
sand people surrounded Palais de
Justice this morning elamoring for
one of the hundred seats in the court
room, where they might see the trial
OF Nine. Marguerite Steinhell, the
famous RED Widow" charged with
the murder of her husband and moth
|er-in-law.
The trial began this noon but hun
Idreds arrived at midnight and police
lad a desperate time to handle the
mob. Shortly after sunrise the select
hundred were admitted. They were
the foremost of the mob.
The announcement that women
were not admitted. caused furore
and the court was swamped with re-
quests for special tickets from wives
of high government officials, society
leaders and famous actresses; but all
were refused. Yesterday several
prominent actresses said they would
disguise as men and force their way
in.
Moving picture concerns offered
the government fabulous sums for
the privilege of photographmg the
trial. They were refused and went
outside with their machines to take
pictures OF the entrance.
There is enormus interest because
II is expected Nine. Steinheil will re-
veal her connection with scores of
prominent Frenchmen. The death of
former President Felix Faure is also
likely to be involved in the trial. The
doctor. who was with her present at
his death. Is summoned in court.
