The polls opened at o'clock, about
80 voting in about an hour, and then
| there was something of a lull until
the noon hour, when men came into
the Armory in streams.
The total vote in this city was some
700 votes below the registration, due
no debut, to the rainy weather. Both
parties had teams busy all day, go
| ing after the infrm and distant voters
and others who would not have gone
to the polls because of the unfavor-
able weather.

result of the vote. To carry every
ward in the city by a good majority
is victory at any time and especial

waged during the present campaign.
Mr.. Cory was about the polling place
most of the day and received many
words of congratulation when the re-
suit of the vote was announced.
Watson's vote in the city was a
surprise to most people. He ran
ahead of his ticket by more than 100
votes and the result showed that a
good many staunch Republicans vot-
ed for Watson, and the rest of the
Republican ticket straight. Frank II.
Tracy polled total of 6S4 votes and
Edward Fl. Deavitt sos, the latter
leading the ticket in the city with
Mr.. Tracy and Horace F. Graham,
for Auditor of Accounts, tied for Sec

Don't Kill Snakes and loads.

The French town authorities post
village bulletin boards, for public in
struction. One of these reads Hedge
hog: live upon mice, snails, and
wireworms-do not kill a hedgehog.
Toad: helps agriculture, killing twenty
to thirty insects every hour-do not
kill toad Cockchafer: deadly enemy
to the farmer; lays one hundred eggs
at time-kill the cockchafer." 1t
would be good idea for our own gov
eminent to post bulletins of this sort,
instead of printing so many for cir
culation.
In the South most of the snakes.
are of great value, and that is rela-
lively true everywhere. The blue rae
era handsome fellow,it estimated to be
worth ten dollars a year to destroy
mice and gophers. The bull snake
and garter snake destroy insects and
rodents, without themselves hurting
the garden. In my Clinton ground we
have so long protected the little gar
ter snake that he suns himself on the
compost piles without fearing us at
all. Why not? Why carry a spite, be-
cause a serpent is said to have tempt
ed Eve? Was it not fair match? Pois-
onous snakes are nearly as rare as
those that talk,-E. ID. Powell in

DIDN'T GET A CENT.
The Murderers of Paymaster Fowler
and Negro Servant Overlooked a
Satchel Which Contained $1,000 As
Sorted and Ticketed.

Hudson, N. Y, Sept. 4.-The men
who murdered Denton Fowler, pay
master of the Atlas Brick Company
and George Ragsdall, his negro driv-
er, yesterday, never got one cent from
their holdup and robbery. The satch-
ell in which $4,000 had been sorted and
ticketed to pay off employees at the
brick yard was found today a few
hundred yards from the brick yard,
hidden under a clump Of bushes.
Detectives, who followed the puz-
zling trail of the holdup, found today
a letter written in Italian soaked by
water but still decipherable. The adj
dress carries out the theory first held
that the murder was committed by
foreign laborers in the brick yard.

DEAD FROM AFFIRMATION.
VincenzO Barr Found Dead and Mrs.
Barr Unconscious at Their Home
Yesterday.

Vincenzo Barr, a well known resi-
dent of this city, was found dead and
his wife in a critical condition by
their son, Dr.. E. o. Barr, from as
phyxiation of gas at their home on
Summer street yesterday noon. Mr..
Barr had been dead for three hours
but Mrs. Barr was revived and was
reported as resting comfortably last
evening.
The bodies were first discovered
when DR.. Z. o. Barr entered the
house at noon for dinner. He smelled
the escaping gas and made discovery
when he found the body of his father
on the floor clad only in his night
clothes. Dr. Barr Immediately threw
open the windows and then came upon
the PROSTATE form of his mother in
another room where she had evident
'ly been overcome while awaiting the
return of her husband who had prob
ably gone to open the window. Drs.
Ghidella, Lamp snd Archambault were
summoned and declared Mr.. Barr
dead but Mrs. Barr still showed signs
of life and the doctors worked upon
her for several hours when she fin
ally came to.
The family live in two tenement
house and the residents of the upper
story report they heard noise about
8 o'clock yesterday morning. 1t is
probable that Mr.. and Mrs. Barr first
discovered the leaking gas at this
time and that the former had started
for the kitchen to shut it off when he
was overcome falling in his tracks.
The gas escaped from an open burn
er in the stove.
Vincenzo Barr was born in Italy in
1910, coming to thi scountry in 1882
and living in Barre for the past IS
years. The deceased is survived by
Dr. Barr of this city, two sons and 4
daughter The funeral will be leld
from the house Saturday.

REPUBLICAN MAj0RITIES.
Rise and Fall Of Gubernatorinl Vote
of Last Fifty Years in Vermont.

The journal prints this morning the
gubernatorial statistics of the
past fifty years in Vermont,
showing the Republican ma
jority over other parties for those
years between 1856 and 1908, the rise
and fall of the Republican majority
year by year proving an interesting
record of the status of the party ia
politics for that period. The election
of J. G. Mccullough in 1902 was
through legislative vote, there being
no choice on the ballot. The mathe-
matician may easily figure out the av-
erage Republican majority and to-
morrow's poll may be contrasted with
the following list to ascertain whether
1910 sustains the average or falls be-

GET BUSY.

With the retarding influence of
a municipal campaign out of the
way, it's up to us to get busy. Out
here in the West, the food supply
of the world must be solved. There
is now and has been for time
plenty of work to do. Our people
must get a share of this work. 1t
cannot be done by idling away
time in the large cities and towns.
Go out among the farmers they
need thousands of workers to help
raise the crops already planted.
And many thousand more Will be
needed to harvest the crops. Out
among this class, there Is less OF
the race prejudice manifest and
more of an ever-ready Willingness
to help one another get start. The
Negroes who have left the glitter
ing and alluring pleasures OF the
city and are making for themselves
homes on farms, are doing well.
None are coming back to town ex-
cept to sell their produce and tell
the story of individual freedom
and prosperity. The Negro who
comes to Colorado and goes out now
to make a home among the farm
ers, will enjoy unprecedented pros
perity and high prices for the next
twenty years. Colorado offers the
greatest inducements for our peo-
pie to get a start in life.

CHRISTIAN WORKERS.

A few years ago distinguished
English author and publicist Wis
tied Chicago. He saw sights which
Shocked his soul, and he went home
and wrote eff Christ Came to
Chicago. 1t was a great work
and enjoyed brief popularity. We
are inclined to wonder what the
same great Englishman and the
same "Holy Nazarene" would do
eff Christ Came to Washington,
TO attend the great International
Sunday School convention last
week. Truly the "sight is glori-
Gus" to see the world searched for
those who are laboring in God s
vineyard. From the cold arctic,
from the tropics, from the islands
of the sea, came the myriad work
ers. When the doors are open and
the world is hidden to enter, the
earthly st. Peter turns away the
ebon-hued workers of America.
with not even the privilege OF
gathering the crumbs from the
floor. or to play with the dogs of
Dives. 1t is passing strange that
in this day, when all the great
forces for good at work among all
classes of humanity need encour-
agement. the Negro must be left to
work out his own salvation and
at the same time bear the Oprobrian
of the world. But the Negro is
graphing with the serious prob
lens of life, and the moral and in
tellectual uplift of a debased peo,
pie bears testimony of the good
work being done.

grounds that his wife represented
herself to be white woman, when
she was in reality a mulatto. The
couple lived happily together un-
til the oirth of their first child,
which was dark-skinned and
showed unmistakably that the
child had Negro blood in its veins.
In court Morton produced the
court records of Danbury, Conn,
showing that the defendant was
the daughter of white woman
who had married Howard Williams
colored, of New Haven, Conn.
