FATE OF THE OLD CHURCHES
Eighteen From New York City Have
Been Sold and Moved to Small
Towns.

Eighteen stone churches which were
on Manhattan Island from twenty-five
to two years ago are now scattered
| over New York state, New Jersey and
Connecticut, says the New York Sun.
These structures were taken down to
make room for mercantile buildings
The congregations moved uptown and
built new ediices. The old buildings
were sold and the buyers took them
down, carefully numbering each stone
and making full detailed drawings for
sale with the materials to prospective
purchasers. ..
There is good market for second
hand churches taken down hereabout
and that can be moved by low cost
water carriage to places within two
hundred miles. Old New Workers
tourneying upstate, through New Jer-
sey or in Connecticut often come upon
= church that looks familiar, and on
making inquiries find that the build
Ing formerly stood on Manhattan Is
land and after being taken to a new
site was sand-blasted so as to give
the stone a fresh appearance. ~
In the last dozen years an enormous
business has been done in taking down
brownstone houses in Manhattan and
re-erecting them in many places. One
fine facade by famous architect of
sixty years ago is in Boston, another
In New Haven and number are in
New Jersey cities. More than a thous-
and fine brownstone houses were taken
down in Manhattan last year and tho
stone and good deal of the timber
were worked into houses and apart
ment houses, hotels and halls within q
hundred miles Of this city.

Democrats Win Senate.

Washington, d. c.. Nov. S.-Demo-
cratic control of the next senate is
now practically assured. Conceding
Republican legislatures in all doubtful
states the Democrats have As, half
Of membership of the entire senate
with a Democratic vice-president In
the chair to cast the deciding vote.
Illinois. Michigan, New Hampshire,
/ Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee and
Wyoming are yet to be heard from.
A Democratic senator from any of
these will give clear majority. In
Illinois, where two senators will be
chosen, 1t is doubtful II there will be
any election on account of the multi
pllcity Of parties. This would reduce
the senate to ninety four. giving the
Democrats majority. Regardless Of
the outcome In any of the doubtful
states, the Democrats will control the
senate. Cooperation among Progress
sive senators is expected. Clapp, La
Toilette, Cummings. Granna, Bristow
and Poindexter are avowed tariff re-
formers, favoring advanced legisla-
ton on other lines. Works, while
classed as a protectionist, announced
before the election that he would sup
port Wilson. OF the 81 holdover Re
publicans, eight are classed as Pro
gressives in the past. They are Bris-
tow, Crawford. Cummings, Gronna
Clapp, LaFollette, Poindexter, Works
Norris, Progressive in the house, is
expected to cooperate with that ele
ment in the senate. also Kenyon and
Rorah.
Much interest is manifested in the
political affiliations of Progressives
who heretofore have been known as
Progressive Republicans. II they de-
cline to cooperate with the Repub-
licans, that party will be weakened
materially.

the most interesting feature of Tues
lays election yesterday, although the
counting OF ballots in several doubt
full states was under way.
Early last night indications were
that Illinois was safely in the Wilson
column.
Wilson's plurality was temporarily
wiped out In California through
changes in the recount Of Los An
geles county. After continued in
creases he again passed Roosevelt
last night.
After apparently holding Illinois for
forty-eight hours after the polls
closed, Roosevelt lost the 20 electoral
votes of that state when the returns
late In the day showed Wilson vic
tory.
From incomplete return as to the
popular vote of Wilson, Roosevelt
and Taft 1t was estimated that Will
son will not have a majority of all
votes cast. The results indicate
that the combined vote of Roosevelt
and Taft would be million more than
Wilson. The figures may be material
ly changed, but the expected proper
ton Of each candidate will not vary
The preliminary count gives Wilson
46 per cent Of the votes, Roosevelt
90 per cent, and Taft 25 per cent.
Minnesota returns have confirmed
tn Roosevelt claim to 1t twelve cleo
tors.
The victory of Wilson In New
Hampshire failed to carry the control
of the state legislature, where the
Republicans will dictate the selection
of a state senator.

Deny Themselves Comforts.

The present king and queen stayed
there and denied themselves the greater
comforts offered by their rich subjects.
1t is all part of the kings thoroughness.
which was exemplified when he stayed a
week in Dublin Castle, rather than at
the vice regal lodge secluded in the park.
He aims at making the crown the visible
bond of all parts of the empire. Hence, in
turn, his state visits to Ireland, to Scot
land and to India.
His majesty has an affection for Scot
land which almost recalls that Of his
grandmother, Queen Victoria. During
his long stay there after his fathers
death he felt at home, leading the fam
lily life he loves, and which In England
can barely obtain at Sandringham. He
has his gun and his rod, and can take his
sons out to the hillside after the deer.
There are no curious crowds, and the
Highlanders Of Deeside have sill that
love of a secret which marked the men
of the clans whole countryside may
know of the royal movements. but the
inquiring and intruding stranger will
learn nothing.
Not less interesting is 1t to know that
Queen Mary is as sound Jacobite as
was Queen Victoria. The foolish. unrea-
souing affection for the Stuarts is as
strong as ever In Scotland. The severe
logic of Scottish mind condemns the Stu
arts as unfit to reign, but the conserva-
tism Of the race oyerrules the logic. All
the mental bent of the race is for the
traditional and the feudatory, yet they
are radicals in everyday politics.

PROFIT CAN BE DERIVED
IN GUINEA PIG RAISING
Department Of Agriculture Prepares
to Issue Bulletin. on
Subject.

The Department of Agriculture is pre-
pairing to issue a special bulletin on
guinea pig culture. A surprising mass
of inquiries is being received both from
those who want to raise guinea pigs and
those who want to buy them. There is
more demand than there is supply, and
the market promises to be some time
in adjusting itself.
OF course, the scientists do not intimate
that there is going to be any ]. D. Rock
efeller fortune in supplying the demand
for guinea. pigs, but there are q
great many Laboratories and other es-
adjustments throughout the country tha,
use a surprisingly large number. One es-
tablishment alone uses $1,000 annually
and some of the laboratories pay as much
az $1.50 each for them. This, OF course
is the top-notch price, but it indicates
how much greater is the demand than
the supply.
The little animals are used largely In
laboratories, medical research work and
in the establishments where serums are
made. They breed faster than rabbits
and are not much trouble to raise The
Department of Agriculture has reared
thousands Of them in the past few years
in the course of its studies In heredity.
1t has found out a number Of interesting
things along that line. but, Of course the
thousands of guinea pigs produced in this
way are not on the market and have no
relation to the market demand.
Raising the animals is decidedly back

raise them, and even IL there are not

ton and at two stores in the business
section. The machines in the post office
and the Union station sell both one-cent
and two-cent stamps and those in the
business section one-cent stamps only.
The machines have handsome metal
cases and are of simple construction, no
buttons or levers being needed to operate
them. 1t is only necessary to insert a
penny in the slot for one-cent stamps or
two pennies in the slot for two-cent
stamps. and the coins automatically
cause the mechanism to operate and de-

The purpose of the test is to determine
the sdesirability and practicability of such
machines for use in the postal service.
