Heavy Vote Is Being Cast,
Reports Today State, Aft
er a Hard Fought Cam
paign on the Question.
WOMEN ARE TAKING
VERY ACTIVE PART
Governor, a Democrat, Has
Advocated Amendment to
Constitutional Clause in
Regard to Prohibition.
(National News Association)

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. 11.-After 26
years Of prohibition the electors of
Maine today voted on the question as
to whether the constitutional clause
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of intoxicants in this state shall con-
tinue in force or be repealed. A bitter
campaign of two months duration
came to a climax today with the ver-
dict of the people upon this important
proposition.
Both sides entered the contest conf
dent of victory. Reports from all sec
tions of the state reaching the capital
during the morning stated that a
heavy vote was being polled but the
result was in doubt.
Prohibition has become a hot politi-
cal issue. Governor F. w. Plaisted,
Democrat, has come out in favor Of
the amendment of the prohibition
clause in the constitution and his lead
has been by practically all the state
Democratic leaders. All the women
and children of the state, the w. c. T..
U. and other organizations of a semi
religious character have fought vigor.
ously to have the law upheld. Mr.. L..
M. N. Stevens, national president of
the w. c. T. U. whose headquarters
are in Portland, has taken the leader
ship of the women's fight throughout
the campaign.
While the prohibition amendment to
the constitution went into effect on
Jan. /, 1885, there has always remain
ed question as to its rigid enforce
ment.
Leaders of the socalled' "wets" fac
ton in the long campaign just ended
have branded Maine prohibition as a
farce. 1t has been tacitly promised by
the Democrats that should the amend
ment be repealed, they will settle the
question on a local option basis.
The heaviest voting was recorded
early in the day in the city districts
where the "wets" hoped to make their
biggest gains.
Women workers throughout the
state stood watch at the polls today.
exhorting all their friends among the
male electors to vote in favor of pro.
!
booths were erected where women dis
pensed coffee and sandwiches. Little
girls dressed in white and carrying
banners paraded through the streets in
communities where there seemed ur-
|gentsdanger~tot tie dry" doctrine.
The wet" forces claim a victory by
II, 900. The dry" leaders are more
conservative. They claim that they
will win by between 1000 and 5000.
In some cities special religious ser.
vices were held in churches and pray
ers were offered that prohibition
would maintain.
The definite question put up to the
electors today upon their ballots was
as follows:
"Shall the constitution be amended
SO as to abrogate ana annul the twen-
| ty sixth amendment adopted on the
eighth day of September in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hun.
dred and eighty four relating to the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors"

ACTION BY CHINESE
Martial Law Declared in Re.
bellious District.
lNational News Association)

Il SHANGHAI, Sept. 1.-THE Chinese
government has proclaimed martial
law throughout Ngan Hwei provinces
In Western Kiangsu and Eastern
Szechuan provinces, where wild disor-
der has followed the devastating
floods of the Yangtsekiang river and
its tributaries. Half starved hordes
have banded with outlaws and are
plundering and killing and openly de-
flying the government. Orders have
been given to shoot all looters on
sight.
In spite of these precautions there
are insufficient military forces on the
ground to carry out the government
orders and many of the soldiers are
acting as relief workers. Others of
the troops actually under arms show
a reluctance to shoot down the frantic
refugees who have been rendered des-
perate by hunger and privation.
The city of Chengtu is said to be in
possession Of mob. An attack was
made upon the residence OF the vice
roy but according to the latest dis
patches loyal troops were able to drive
off the rioters.
A heavy military patrol is being es-
tablished on the Szechuen border re-
inforced with batteries of machine
guns.
Chung-kiang is under heavy guard
of imperial troops. Machine guns have
been mounted upon the roof of the
mandarin's palace to sweep all the
approaching streets.
/ Owing to the interruption of tele-
graph communication and the fact that
the floods still extend 0ver the low
lands reports Of real ceoditions in the
heart of the zone OF disaster are still
meager. From Nanking II b reported
that between 400 and 500 men and wo-
men and children are dying daily
from starvation and the outbreak OF
disease which have resulted from the
flood.

Where Abraham Eished.

Mrs. Victoria de Bunsen in "The
Soul Of a Turk" relates a legend con-
cerning Abraham which will be new
TO many readers. She learned OF it
while at Odessa. the traditional Or Of
the Chaldees. She was shown there
a large OblOng tank of water so filed
with fishes resting just below the sur
face of the water that their fms and
backs seemed almost wedged together
so as to form IAN almost solid layer
of silvery life"
",The guardian Of the mosque throws
some meal into the water, and the fish
jump high to catch it, a great living
pyramid, Of which those which jump
the highest form the pinnacle. The
tradition is that Abraham as a child
fished in the tank; hence the fish were
considered sacred. No single one has
been caught or killed to this day. In
deed, death would overtake the man
who transgressed this law"

PLATlNIzED GLASS.
pees Not Lose Its Transparency, but
Il Produces an Odd and Tricky
Kind Of Mirror.


Plattntzed glass consists Of q piece OF
glass coated with an exceedingly thin
layer Of a liquid charged with platl-
num and then raised to red heat.
7'he platinum becomes united to the
glass in such a way as 20 form an odd
Kind Of mirror.
The glass has not really lost its
transparency, and yet if one places 1t
against a wall and looks at it he sees
his image as in an ordinary looking
glass. But when light is allowed to
come through the glass from the other
side, as when it is placed in a window,
t appears perfectly transparent, like
ordinary glass.
By constructing a window Of plati-
1ized glass one could stand close behind
the panes in an unilluminated room
and behold clearly everything going
on outside, while passersby looking at
the window would behold only a fine
mirror or set Of mirrors in which their
own figures would be reflected while
the person inside remained invisible.
In France various tricks have been
contrived with the aid of this glass.
In one a person seeing what appears
to be an ordinary mirror approaches it
to gaze upon himself. A sudden
change in the mechanism sends light
through the glass from the back, where
upon it instantly becomes transparent.
and the startled spectator finds him
self confronted by some grotesque fig
ure that had been hidden behind the
glass.-Harper's Weekly.

method of dissipating the enormous

wise to get rid Of the energy too
