Republican Candidate For GOV- ernoT Reports That Election Cost Him S16,940, Most of Which Was Spent in Pri- Tnaries
And the Above Figure Does Not include Contribution of S5,OOe From C.. 4. Good win to State Central Con- mittee-- --Ither GoodWins Con- tribute S1O,OOO--H For "Smokes'

Charles A. Goodwin. Republican can didate for Governor, in his report filed in the office of Secretary of State, says that he expended s11,ssS.71 in the pri- maries; in the convention, s2e5e0, and for election. $5,285.69. making the total amount reported. $1s,94o.
 And the latter figure does not in- clude $5,00O which appears in the re- port of Michael Kenealy. chairman of the Republican State Central commit tee, as contributed by c. A. Goodwin
 The addition of the contribution to the State committee raises the amount to s21 ,690.
 But this is not the total expense of the election to the Goodwin name, for Francis Goodwin contributed 5000 te Mir. Kenealy. and Walter s. Goodwin another 5000. z
 So that the raeorted est of the elec- ton to the members of the Goodwin family, inclusive Of Charles A Good win, is $31, $40, which is a goodly sum.
 In part MT. Goodwin's report Of ex- items that appear not to be authorized by the corrupt practices act. and which, therefore, are distinctly forbid den by the act.
 Many times appears the name of some person to whom has been paid sum of money for "canvassing."
 The corrupt practices act provides for the payment of persons employed in committee rooms and at polling places, but no provision for the em- ployment of canvassers.
 Again and again the names of the persons so receiving money are set down with merely the initial of the frs. name preceding the surname of the beneficiary. as in the example, taken from, the report of Alderman Henry M. Sperry, of Hartford. political agent for MT. Goodwin, as follows:

Neves, commanding the modern and newly delivered dreadnaught battle ship Minas Geraes, had been dining on board the French training ship Duguay Trouin. When he returned to his ship he found the crew in mutiny. When he attempted to drive the men back to their posts he was killed, along with two other officers. The dreadnaught Sac Paulo and the scout cruiser Bahi at once joined in the mu- tiny, all three of the vessels sending their officers ashore. The command of the squadron was then taken by Jean Candido, sailor of the first class, who has maneuvered the ships with rare skill.
 The magazines were burst open and ammunition dealt out to the various gun crews. Provisions were requisi- tioned and coal seized from the island of Vianne, and the coal barges of the British steamer Oronsa and the French steamer Atlantique.
 During all this time the various tor pedo boat deStrOyerS in the harbor remained loyal. They were in a pos ition to torpedo the mutineers' ves- sells at any time but the British min ister protested. declaring there were many English subjects on the two new dreadnaughts.
 Tuesday night the mutineers sent wireless messages to President Fon- seca. setting out their demands. The statement ended with 8 threat to lombard the city if their demands were refused.
 No answer was sent by the Govern ment Tuesday night. and then began a desultory bombardment of the city, during which. however, little or no damage was done.

Especial from United Press.) )

Trenton, N. J., Nov. 25-John Sears, confessed, today, that he killed Rev. Amzi L. Armstrong, to get share of his estate that was coming to him in the will after the preachers death.
 The police have thus cleared up the mystery surrounding the murder of the minister and his wife. Annie Rue Armstrong; at their home at Dutch Neck. miles east of this city, We'd nesday night
 Sears took the prosecutor and de- tectives to the scene of the murder and showed them where he had hidden the stlone watch of the dead minister Sears. according to his confession, had rrlarrelled with Rev. MT. Armstrong, Wednesday afternoon, during which the minister struck him the head with his cane. He planned to get re- yenge and in order to cover the tracks of his crime. determined to kill both the minister and his wife, believing that his mother, the only other occu- pan of the house, would not inform 0n him.
 seals also said he had an idea that if he got rid of the old couple the'r wealth would come to him. Tn des- cuibing his actions, Sears said he went to the house shortly after o'clock.

GOODWIN REPORTS
 EMPLOYMENT OF
 MANY "CANvAcSERS"
JUDSON DISCUSSES G0ODWIN'S REPORT
 OF ELECTION COST

T should say that that is a paipsbls violation of the corrupt practices act" declared States Attorney Stiles Judson today when his attention was called to the fact that items totalIing 9, very large sum have been set down in fhs sworn statement of election expenses. as payments for "canvassfng."
 Certainly it is a violation of fhs spirit of the act" declared Senatoe Judson; "and there is no provision fof 'canvassing mentioned in the sxpendt- lures legalized by the act By a very broad construction of the word I suu- pose 1t is possible to regard electfoB workers, the men who drive conveys ances bringing voters to the po1lfnn places, as tcanvassers', but 1t does no{ seem likely that such a consfrucffon is intended here"
 Senator Judson's attention was calis ed the fact that the so-caiIed 'cans vassers" were paid sung ranging a& high as s100 for their services. Tfa ssiS-
 When we arranged the act to rro- vide for the eEIDioyinent of zerG1rS election workers, we endeayored fo limit them to bona-fide workers and provided that they should be paid gurna only commensurate with the gerv1cea they rendered.
 It seems to me that any such ex- penditure for 'canvassfng' is plainly z violation of the corrupt practices act"

 Rio Janiero, Brazil. Nov. 25-After a vote of amnesty by the Brazilian Con- grees and the granting of all of their demands, the mutineers aboard the Brazilian warships surrendered, to- day.
 The demands of the mutineers were granted and the amnesty voted at an extraordinary session of Congress to- day. The Chamber of Deputies fol- lowed the example of the Senate in agreeing upon amnesty and both houses then voted to concede the de- mands of the mutineers.
 Congress took this action as the al- formative of having the guns of it's own warships continue their fire upon the city. The guns of the battleships Nina Geraes. Sac Paula, the scout cruiser Deodora and the scout Bahia were all trained on the city during the time that Congress was in session.
 It is pretty we'll established that the Eautiny was not the result of a poli- tica1 revolt, but rather arose from dissatisfaction with conditions on board the war vessels The mutineers demanded shorter hours. more pay. more men to aid in their work and the immediate abolition of whipping as a means of punishment

If your stomach, heart or kidneys
are weak, try at least, few doses
only of DR.. Shops Restorative. In
five or ten days only, the result will
surprise you. A few cents will COW
er the cost. And here is why help
comes so quickly. DR.. Shoop does
not drug the stomach, nor stimulate
the heart or Kidneys. DR.. Shops
Restorative goes directly to the
weak and failing nerves. Each or
gan has its own controlling nerve.
When these nerves fail, the depend
ing organs must of necessity falter.
This plain, yet vital truth, clearly
tells why DR.. Shops Restorative is
SO universally successful. It's success

WHILE it cannot be said that the
w Bible commands total abstl-
nence from Intoxicating liquors, it
can be said that everywhere from
Genesis to Revelation it reprobates
drunkenness and points US to its
debauching effects as luxurious both
physically and spiritually. We
think probably that the climatic
conditions of the centers of clvlllza-
ton and the nerve tension OF our
day make the evils of intemperance
specially grievous at this time.
These facts would fully justify US
as followers of Jesus and the Apos-
ties should we go beyond them in
urging absolute total abstinence as
respects all alcoholic liquor. Spe-
cial emergencies and conditions re-
quire to be specially met.
AS, for instance, while Adams
children being nearly perfect could
and did intermarry, nothing OF the
kind would be wise or in any sense
iustifable now because the great de-
pravity of our race through heredi-
ty has so prefaced our natures along
certain lines of our weakness that
even for two cousins to marry is
dangerous as respects the sanity of
their posterity. In other words,
circumstances alter cases. In the
interim of nearly nineteen centuries
undoubtedly great changes have
taken place along certain lines and
the wisest and noblest of humanity
are practically agreed that in our
day, at least, alcoholic beverages
are extremely unwise, extremely in
furious. They are dangerous for
the strong of character, and awful,
irresistible temptations to the weak,
who should have the encouragement
of the strong in the bearing of their
burdens of hereditary weakness.
The amount of crime and sin which
directly and indirectly are traceable
to the influence of alcohol should
make all good people stand in awe
| of it and use their influence in op-
position to it. In this we are not
condemning all those who more or
less participate in the stream of
crime and sin produced by alcohol.
| Doubtless amongst those who man
| ufacture and dispense these bever-
ages there are, as well as amongst
| those who own stock in the distill-
cries and breweries, persons of
! noble minds, who would rather do
good than do evil. By some process
of reasoning which we do not fully
comprehend they throw the re-
sponsibility off their own shoulders
upon the shoulders of their weaker
brethren and sisters of the human
family. Unquestionably money is
at the bottom of the traffic. AS the
Apostle declares, "The love of
money is the root of all evil"
In to-day's study Solomon the
Wise gives us the picture of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of eyes; woe;
sorrow; contentious; complaining.
He advises, Look not thou upon
the wine when it is red and giveth
color to the cup and goeth down
smoothly. At last it biteth like a
serpent and stingeth like an adder"
It would appear that there is
charm or enticement connected with
