ROOT HAS N0T,EVEN
TALKED WITH LEADERS
Little Interest in Senatorial Election Is
Marvel to old-timers.

Albany, N. Y, Jan, lo.--Old timers in
Albany are marveling at the absolute
lack Of interest displayed here over the
election of United States senator TO
succeed Thomas G. Platt, whose second
term in the upper House expires on We'd
nesdsy. Although the election is sched-
uled to take place Wednesday noon,
there is none Of the entertaining and
activity which have marked all previous
elections TO the United States Senate.
Republican Legislators say; What's
the use OF getting excited over til The
whole thing was settled In Washington
long ago. Root was selected for us"
Secretary Root has not been near. Al
bany, and, so far as anyone here knows,
he has no intention Of coming. lie has
not communicated with the leaders in
the legislature. This is causing comment
in Albany. due largely to the fact that
Secretary Root, after he steps into the
senatorship, viii without doubt be the
absolute leader Of the Republican party
in the state.
There win be no ripple Of opposition
TO the election of Secreatry Root unless
the present plan is altered, and that
seems very improbable.

Points--Goddard Seconds Defeat
Spaulding Seconds.

The Goddard seminary basket ball
team opened its seasons schedule last
evening by defeating the Italian Attn
letic club, 20 to ri, at the Church street

they weakened in their playing and al
lowed Goddard to shoot four baskets
from the floor and two fouls, while they
made only three points on fouls. Both
teams were weak in their team work
and only for the fact that the score
was close, was the game at all interest
ing.
Brusa made all but four of the Ital-
ians q points and his playing saved the
team worse hlefeat. Spauding and
Moore did the best work for Goddard
in throwing baskets, The first period
ended TO in favor Of Goddard, but

baskets from the floor and one foul for
the Italians and II. Calcagni and n.
Calcagni each shot basket from the

iaDs were thee fouls thrown by Brusa,
while Spanlding shot two baskets from

When the Phrenoloqist Fell.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Mayor Reyburn Of Philadelphia, the
owner of the record breaking trotter
Ed Bryan, told at a dinner a horse
story.
"A farmer visited phrenologist," he
said. He had heard that the phrenolo-
gIst thought of buying a horse. He had
his head examined and his bumps re-
vealed surprising things.
"'Your tastes are the simple, homely
and pure tastes of a farmer said the
phrenologist, and a farmer l take you
TO be. Am ] not right? Aha, / thought
so. You are unready and faltering in
speech; YOU find It difficult to express
the simplest ideas. You are sadly den
cient I'm judgment and have no knowl-
edge of human nature. Your innocent
and trustful disposition renders you an
easy dupe to designing men, and your
own perfect honesty prevents you from
either suspecting or defrauding any
one
THE phrenologist the following week
bought a horse from the farmer. The
horse was knock -kneed, it was 25 years
old, It had bad temper, and II baked.
Though the farmer had only paid $l5
for the animal, he secured without dif-
f1culty $50 from the phrenologlst for IT.
Its wonderful said the farmer to
himself, as he hastened toward the
bank to deposit the money-its jest
wonderful that a man should know so
much about men and not know "A thing
about hosses!' Detroit Free Press.

A DISTINGUISHED Sufferer.

The sufferings of dramatic authors
at the first night performances OF their
plays are said to be so acute that few
of them dare to sit In front at the
dramatic debut of the children OF their
brain. Thackeray, in his "Virginians,
has George Warrington sitting in
neighboring coffee house while the first
production of his "Carpezan" Is in
progress, receiving bulletins OF its re-
ception from his friends, and doubtless
consoling himself with copious drafts
OF stimulating liquids as a sort or In
sulation against unhappiness In case
things should go wrong. 1t is said that
w. s. Gilbert, the author of "Pinafore."
Patience" and 1.-THE Mikado," has
never yet attended premiere OF any
OF his many successful operas and
plays, dreading the nervous strain OF
the ordeal. Even Lord Byron, who was
supposed to be a callous sort of person,
in so far as caring for the worlds Ver-
dict was concerned, Is said to have been
completely wretched at the first pro-
duction of his play, "Dearer than Life
1t was at this performance that
long delay occurred at the end OF the
second act, filling the audience with
impatience and the distinguished au-
thor with dread.
What in the name of heaven can
they be doing back there?" asked a
critic meeting Byron in the lobby Of
the theater trying to calm his troubled
spirit by walking nervously about.
II don't KNOW" mOaned the poet,
with a melancholy gesture of despair.
A moment later the sound Of saw
at work behind the curtain was heard,
and the critic. returning to the play
wright's side, inquired:
And what do you imagine that to
be. my lord?'
Byron's sense OF humor came to his
rescue instantly.
II think" he said, they must be
cutting out the last act"

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer
ing women I am willing to make my
trouble public SO you may publish
this letter" Mrs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RID, ,Graniteville, VT.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years 1t has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and 1t Is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period Of change OF life.
Tt costs but little to try Lydia Y.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
as Mrs. Barclay says, 1t Is worth mouns
tains Of gold ITO suffering women.
