DEMOCRATS SURE
TO CONTROL SENATE

With an Equal Number of Republicans
and Democrats and Dem0c ratio
Vice President, the Democrats are
in Certain Control.
Washington, Nov. 7.-Control Of the
senate in the sixty-third congress now
is practically assured to the demo-
Gratis. Conceding to the republicans
the legislature of all states still in
the doubtful column tonight, the
democrats will have vote Of As, or
one-half of the entire membership of
the senate. with a democratic vice
president in the chair to cast the de-
Gliding ballot in case of tie. Seven
states are yet to be heard from def
nitely.
senator from any of these would
give the democrats u clear majority
and it is possible their strength will
be even further increased by winning.
Kansas Democratic.
Kansas has been added TO the dem
ocratic column in the past "a hours.
The states in which the complexion
of the legislatures is yet to be decid-
ed are Illinois, Michigan, New Hamp-
shire, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennes-
see, and Wyoming. Ordinarily Ten
nessee could be relied upon to help
the democratic party, but the faction
al fight there may prevent in this
crisis. In Illinois there are compli-
cations growing out Of the multiple
ity Of parties, rendering it uncertain
whether there will be a senatorial
election. In that state there should
be chosen a successor to the deposed
Senator Lorimer as well as to Senator
Cullom whose term expires on the
fourth of next March. If there
should be no election the result
would be to favor the democrats by
reducing the membership of the SEN
ate to 81, of which number the is al
ready chosen would be working ma
jority.

Dear Madam
Your inquiry regarding the cor
rect engraving for wedding silver
has just been received. There is no
which is correct.
1t is argued by some that wedding
presents are gifts to the bride and
not to the groom. but it is the opin-
ion of the majority that the groom's
initials should mark the gift for
why should the silver that she will
use in common with her husband all
her life bear the initial of a name
that is no longer hers?-in fact,
probably many of her guests would
not be familiar with her former
name.
This latter custom prevails in the
fashion centres of Europe and
America, and has generally been re-
cognized by us as the correct form,
except, of course, where the gift
partakes of strictly personal ma
ture, such as Toilet Articles, Jewel
Cases. Photo Frames, ETC., when
the BRIDES initial is permissible.
Thanking you for this opportunity
OF serving you, we remain
Yours very truly,
