leans in the state captured the only
redoubt that it was possible to cap

lature, A year ago-the Democratic
bly, stood 81 Democrats to 63 Repub-
leans.
This means a rebuke, apparently,
to the administration of Governor
Dix. The most interesting features
of the election in the state are the
pal election in Schenectady and the
defeat of Thomas Mott Osborne, one
of Governor Dix's most intimate
friends, for mayor of Auburn
In New York city there has been a
final fight between the allied forces of
the Republican party aud those follow
ing the lead of William r. Hearst

Tammany has elected its county
ticket by pluralities running from p
$40 for Cohalan for the supreme court
to 1889 for Fowler for surrogate
Harburger's plurality for sheriff is

The supreme court justices elected
are: Francis NJ Scott, Daniel + Co.

ANERA OPPORTUNITY

AS this is an age Of invention and
discovery, so also is it an age of oppor
tunity.
Aviator Galbraith p Rodgers com
pleted his fight from ocean to ocean
last Monday. He did not win the
prize offered, because the flight was
not made within the time limit of
thirty days; but his was a marvellous
achievement, nevertheless. II is in
dicative Of the wurders Of our day and
generation, and o. Jne forces which are
making for the progress Of the race.
Research work in many directions is
being carried on as it. has never been
carried on before. Students are at
work, in and out of universities and
colleges, bringing to light truths Of
philosophy and Of science which are Of
inestimable benefit to mankind. Thirty
years ago, long distances were travelled
that men might behold the wonder of
light being made by electricity. Today
electricity is the force that is light
ing and moving the world The tele-
phone has been perfected, and through
its use persons separated by hundreds OF
miles, can talk to each other as friend
talks to friend. And every advance made
means increased opportunities for old
and young, No matter what the
pessmst may think or say, ours Is the
golden age of the world. The idea
that mans usefulness to mankind il
gone after he has reached middle age IL
under ban. Old men are seizing the
opportunities afforded them by modern
inventions and ARE climbing back into
power" As one has well said, youth
and age are much the same from
century to century; and to make tho
most Of age is to lengthen the unit Of
civilization. And what visions Of
opportunity must rise before the young
men of today III the ratio Of advance
during the last quarter of century,
continues during the next quarter of
century what opportunities, what
privileges, what comforts will there be
for those who are then active in the
worlds work.

Cruiser After information
at First Hand.

London, Nov. S.-Turk ey's note with
reference to the Tripoli massacre was
addressed solely to the United States,
so a Turkish official told the New
York Sun correspondent
Turkey was satisfied from the previ-
Gus attitude of Europe that it was use
less to appeal to the concert of ma
tons
The official said that the dispatch
of the United States scout cruiser
Chester to Tripoli was in response to
the note, but declined to give the
notes contents. He explained that
Americas independence of the Euro
pean situation and the part she had
taken in the Russo-Japanese war con-
stituted the reason for Turkeys ap-
peal
He declared that the response of
the United States had been received,
was satisfactory, and that there was
optimism at Constantinople over the
result.
1t was said that the Chester was to
ascertain from the American consuls
and others the facts regarding the
massacre and it was expected that the
commanders report would be COM
municated to other nations 1t was
denied that the action of Turkey indi-
Gated that Turkey desires mediation in
