Truax and John j. Delany, the Tam
many candidates for Justices of the
Supreme Court from the First Dis
trict, were beaten by Nathan Blur,
Edward J. Gavegan and Alfred R.
Page, the Fusion candidates.
Isaac M. Kapper, Democratic can
didate for Justice of the Supreme
Court in the Second District, was
elected over Almet R. Latson, Repub-
lican, and Robert Stewart, indie
pendent.
Max S.. Grifenhagen, Fusion, de-
feated John l.. Goldwater, Democrat,
for Register of New York County.
In Kings County, Henry P. Molloy,
Democrat, defeated John Feitner,
Fusion.
Late returns indicate the election
of William j. Schneider over James
J. Hagan for County Clerk of New
York.
The victory of Steers, the Fusion
candidate in the race for Borough
President in Brooklyn, is the more
notable because the Democratic coun-
ty ticket-Quinn for Sheriff, Molloy
for County Clerk and Lundy for Reg
ister=won in the three-cornered
county fight by p~luralities ranging
from 5000 to 1000.
In Richmond A. D. Collins, Fusion,
was elected Sheriff by 408 plurality
over Rendt, Democrat.
The worst blow to Woodruff in his
political career is the vote in Brook
Ign for the county ticket. The Demo
Gratis have elected the Sheriff, County
Clerk, Register and Coroners, all OF
them nominated by Senator McCarren
a week before he died.
The big vote polled by Hearst, not
withstanding that he a third, car
ried in the Fusion judiciary ticket
in New York County, and, therefore.
caused the defeat of Justice Truax
This combined Fusion vote also de-
feated every man on the Tammany
county ticket, causing the defeat Of
Battle for District Attorney, Sullivan
for Sheriff, Roesch for City Court
Judge and the other county candi
dates. The Fusion ticket also de
feated the Democratic county candi
dates in Richmond, while in Queens
dresser, the Independent, probably
pulled through most of tho men OF
his ticket.

THE PULPIT.
A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
DR.. j.. M. HUBERT.
Theme: Life Here and Hereafter.

Brooklyn, N. Sunday the Rev.
DR.. J. Nj. Hubert, of Philadelphia,
preached in the Central Presbyterian
Church. His subject was Life Here
and Hereafter" The text was from
Philippians 1924: what 1 shall
choose / wot not. For | am in a
strait betwixt two, having a desire to
depart, and to be with Christ, which
is far better; nevertheless, to abide
in the flesh is more needful for you"
DR.. Hubert said:
The words of the text remind us OF
good Isaac Watts, who said: Thank
God, l can lie down at night with no
concern whether l wake in this world
or the next" Some people are world
ly, chiefly concerned for things here
below. Some are other-worldly, hav-
ing thoughts and affections set on
things above; and such a man was
Paul. This thinking about the future
is by some called "impracticabIe star
gazing" But DR.. Samuel johnson
correctly remarked, that those who
think most about the next life are ths
people who best perform the duties
of this life."
First Of all, the text speaks of our
morality. In saying he has a desire to
depart" Paul is not thinking of GO
ing from one place to another on the
earth, but of going back to mother
5arth-"earth to earth, dust to dust,
ashes to ashes" This is the way we
must all go very soon. King Philip
Of Macedon had a servant whose duty
1t was to wake the King each morning
by saying, philip, remember thou
are mortal" Surely, we need no such
reminder. We have enough all
around rs to impress us that @alI
flesh is as grass" Passing through a
street of a very healthful mountain
town, and seeing a man with a hose
washing mud from the wheels of a
hearse, [ said, "Do you use such
things up here?" "Oh, yes," said he,
swe carried out three yesterday. ("
And that is just what is going on
everywhere. The cemeteries are fast
receiving the teeming populations OF
cities, towns, villages and country
places. Well may it be said:
Death floats upon every passing
breeze,
And turks in every flower;
Each season has it's own disease,
Its peril every hour"
Again, the text speaks of our inn

REPUBLICANS WIN IN JERSEY
Will Have As Men in House to is
Democrats.

Trenton, N. J.-Oficial returns in
dictate a Republican victory in the
elections. The Democrats hold their
usual counties in the lower house,
twelve men from Hudson, and one
each from Warren, Sussex and Hunt
erdon. They may gain n from
Mercer, as DR.. E. H. Ginnelly, a pres
ent Assemblyman, has run far behind
his ticket. Ginnelly was slated for
next Speaker of the House.
H. Otto Wittpenn was reelected
Mayor of Jersey City to succeed HIM
self. He defeated Mark M. Pagan,
of the New Idea Republicans, by al
most 10, 900 votes. Two years ago
the same men ran for the same office
of Mayor. Wittpenn then was sue
cessful by 1891, and practically that
is his majority this year.
DR.. John D. Prince, Speaker of the
| House of Assembly, has won one of
the warmest contests in the political
| history of the State. He defeated
| Senator John Hinchliffe. the Demo-
cratic candidate in the Senatorial con-
test in Passaic County. The election
of DR.. Prince means that Vivian M.
