Cleveland, Ohio. Nov by an over
whelming vote the city Of Cleveland
again swung back into the Democratic
column after two years of a Republican
mayor, and Newton D. Baker was elected
mayor to-day by plurality that may be
anywhere from 1000 to 10000.
Baker, who is a young lawyer, Is
protege of the late Ton: L. johnson, and
was with him in all his fights for
3-cent fare. 1t was the johnson spirit
that dominated the campaign that
Just ended, and gave the Democrats such
a victory.
Baker carries the entire Democratic
party ticket into power with him, and
will have a Democratic council. which
will at once set about to reduce the price
OF electric light. Baker says he will
give Cleveland Scent light as johnson

Taft was glum tonight when he heard
that his home town had thrown over

that he could count on Hamilton Coun-
ty as safely Republican.

The President would make no COM

the city was in a turmoil over the des-1

shrewd political managers and wrote his
letter to Julius Fleischmann, ostensible /
leader OF the Republican party, saying |

Aged Woman PIunges from
Upper Window to Death.

New York, Nov. 7.-Several persons who
were passing the northwest corner of
Seventy-ninth street and West End ave-
nue. late this afternoon were startled to
see what they believed to be a bundle of
clothing fall from the eighth floor Of an
apartment house and drop at their feet.
When the bravest of them Investigated
closer they found that II was the body
Of an aged woman which had dropped
from the high window. A few minutes
later 1t developed that the victim was
Mrs. James Havemeyer, wife of a million
aire retired merchant, whose father, Will
lam Frederick Havemeyer,. was three
times mayor OF New York, and was a sec
ond cousin to Horace Havemeyer, the
present head Of the sugar trust. Mrs.
Havemeyer, who was seventy years old,
had either fallen or thrown herself from
her dining-room window in the next to
the highest floor of the New Century
apartments during a brief space Of time
while her trained nurse was In another
room preparing some medicine for her.
She had been seriously Ill of neurasthenla
for more than fifteen years and under
constant attention of a nurse.
It was a woman passer-by who was
braver than the rest of the spectators
and went and examined the corpse. Find
ing the victim dead, the woman called a
policeman, who summoned an ambulance.
Coroner Holzhauser, who took charge
OF the case, was unable to determine
whether or not It was one Of suicide or
accidental death. He learned that cid
Mrs Havemeyer had occasionally been a
tri1e unbalanced mentally, but within the
past few weeks had apparently been in
good condition. He gave permission for
the corpse to be taken upstairs to the
Havemeyer apartment, and said ne would
appoint a date for an inquest later.

Philadelphia, Nov. S.-Senator Penrose
was quoted early this morning as admit
ting the election of Rudolph Blanken-
burg, the opposition candidate, by about
1000 majority over George H. Earle, the
Republican machine candidate for the
mayoralty. Several of the Republican
district leaders also conceded EarIe's de-
feat, although the result had been in
doubt up to midnight.
The vote cast was so heavy that before
noon the county commissioners were
requisitioned to send extra ballot boxes
into several wards. Up to 70 o'clock a
total OF twenty extra boxes were sent
out
While Philadelphians were selecting a
mayor and numerous municipal and
county officers, the electors of both CITY
and State were voting on two proposed
constitutional amendments, one Of which
Is Of vast Importance to Philadelphia,
namely, the amendment to permit this
city to borrow an unlimited amount of
money for the construction of subwavs
and water front improvements. This
appeared on the ballot as amendment
No ,. The other amendment, which an
peared as No. l, provides for the con-
sohdation of the Common Pleas Court
OF Allegheny County and concerns that
county alone. Ii is generally believed
by the Republican leaders and by those
interested in the progress of the munich
palty that the subway and harbor
amendment was carried by yesterdays

A bird That n. Feared.

The elster Pica candatal is a bird
that is respected and feared through
out south Germany. 1t belongs to the
raven tribe and is about the size of
doYe, with black and white feathers
and long, pointed tail. 1t builds its
nest In orchards, and its life is sacred.
II 1t is seen three times in succession
on the same housetop in a place re-
mote from its home It is believed to be
a sure sign of death in that house. II
II flies over a house where any one is
Ill and gives its peculiar cry the sick
person is sure to die, but II It does not
scream the patient may recover. 1t Is
better for the sick person II the bird
does not come near. No one could be
hired to bother these birds for fear
they might seek revenge, and II by
chance one of them should die It is a
sign Of bad luck to the owner of the
property where 1t Is found. The
bird is valuable insect destroyer and
in this way probably more than COM
pensates for the fear It occasions
among the farmers.

A Learned Russian Baby.

William Lyon Phelps tells this story
about Robert Louis Stevenson as illus
trating the cosmopolitanism Of Rus
sian character, which Professor Phelps
says is unaccountable In q measure
for the international effect and infu-
ence OF Russian novels. Stevenson,
writing from Mentone to his mother,
Jan. 7, 1874, said: I'VE have two lit
tie Russian girls. with the youngest of
whom. a little polyglot button of
three year-old, l had the most laugha-
BILE little scene at lunch today. She
said something In Italian which made
everybody laugh very much. After
some examination she announced en-
phatically to the whole table in Ger
man that was madchen. This
hasty conclusion as to my sex she was
led afterward to revise, but her new
opinion was announced in a language
quite unknown to me and probably
Russian. To complete the scroll of
her accomplishments she said goodby
to me In very commendable English"
Three days later Stevenson added:
THE little Russian kid is only two
and half. She speaks six Ian
KIIages."

Turkey is not nearly SO benighted as
we imagine, for there Is no servant
question there Though slavery is still
recognized, the kadun mistress of the
house, is q mother to her servants,
whom she treats as children, and no
children in the world are better treated
than Turkish children. The most pain
full thing the kadun can do to a maid
is to say: "The master has found a
good husband for thee. Thou wilt be
married at such and such time"
"Oh, mistress, what have l done to
be thus abandonedf" is the usual sor-
rOwful response.
Even after the servants marriage the
kindly relations between mistress and
maid continue. There are no fixed
servant wages in Turkey. Faithful
servants are rewarded from time to
time in accordance with their masters
or mistresses' good pleasure or circum-
stances.-Chicago Journal.

The word duke comes from the Latin

the commanders of armies were called
dukes-i. e., the leaders of the soldiery.
In other words, the first duke was the

simple matter of warlike efficiency.

"A Riaht and Lawful Rood"

An example Of the old rough and

who wrote on surveying, records that
after service on Sunday sixteen men
we're stopped at the church door, just
as they happened to come out, and
drawn up in line, left foot to left foot.
The length thus obtained was taken
as "a right and lawful rood to meas

sixteenth part of 1t as "a right and
lawful foot" Although big and little
men were thus roughly averaged
against each other, the results nat

ImpaIina the Wild Boar.

In Germany the boar hunt occurs an.
nually. Trained hounds are held In
leash until the lair of the boars is sniff
ed, and then they are let go. OF rush
the bristling beasts. They run fast,
and the faster they skip along the wild
er and "madder" they get Sometimes
they are shot, but the correct style Of
killing is to use long spear or a short
swordlike knife. The hunter spies his
boarship speeding along in an almost
straight line, blinded with rage and
ferocity. Bending over sideways to the
earth, the sportsman thrusts his spear
dull end downward In the soil and the
sharp point slanting upward and turn
ed directly to the boar's path. Straight
on the wild hog rushes, and with all
the impetus of his long flight he plunges
upon the spear point and there, impaled,
dies a bloody death.
