lTTlNG ELECTION RETURNS.

What a long time it used 10 take
election night to get anything tangible
from the election, unless you lived in
city of some size. And even then
the returns were fragmentary
Many people can recall the solemn
and expeetant groups thai would gath
err at party headquarters or newspaper
Offices in the smaller towns
Although the boys" had blown in
their SO to $40 for returns, the news
came slowly. A messenger boy would
come in Furnishing his yellow paper
dispatch The hushed groups list,
ened eXpeetantly. Then you were
merely informed that "A election dis
tricts in New York city gave Smith
1900 and Jones 1000. without any
data for comparison to show which
pul - Hdo HuHIHS dItdu.
The crude telephones OF those days
were tumble of conflicting sounds
If dozen authentic dispatches had
crawled over the telegraph wire at
midnight, the walters felt we'll repaid
The telephone has enormously fac
ilitated the collection of election re.
turns. Two presidential elections
ago, there We're many thousands OF
voting places where the news had to
come by stage drivers and special
teams sent out by newspapers.
Now there are comparatively few
voting precincts that are not accesssi-
BILE by telephone,
Formerly is was the back country
town that delayed giving the news,
..aad whose verdict was anXiously
awaited on a close contest. Today
with the telephone, the country town
votes are as a whole quickly counted.
The .thickly settled cities where
there are many voters to a single pre-
cinct are now usually the last to be
heard from. The laws relating to.
conduct of elections surround the
process of counting with too much
red tape. There are still many states
where several days are required TO
complete the necessary formalities In
others the news comes with surpris-
ing quickness. In Massachusetts, for
S3S.2Tce, there are not usually more
than Z score of voting precincts miss
ing at midnight
Except in cases where voting pre-
cincts have neither telephone nor tele-
graph, these delays of several days
seem wholly needless and very irritat-
ing.

A cook,s Accidental Discovery.

One Of the best ways Of cooking po-
tatoes was accidentally discovered
through the unpunctuality Of q train.
When the line from Paris to st. Ger
main was opened the first train car
ried an official party for whom lunch
was ordered The meal was fixed for
noon. aud shortly before that hour the
potatoes were put on to fry. A few
minutes afterward message came
that the train would probably be de-
layed for an hour. so the potatoes were
taken Off the fire, but left in the pan.
Then came second message, Train
just arriving" and the potatoes were
hurriedly put back to fry again. When
the party sat down to lunch the pota-
toes were brought on with the steak.
Each chip was then found to be blown
out like n small. crisp, golden balloon,
to the delight Of the guests. The cook
without knowing 1t had invented
pommes de terre souffies.

GOETHALS, DITCH DIGGER,
 IS 54 YEARS OLD TO-DAY.

Col. George Washington Goethals.
 worlds champion ditch digger, admin
 istrative officer of the greatest engin- eering project ever undertaken by
 man. is to-day celebrating his fifty
 fourth birthday. Down at Panama,
 Col. Goethals is building a monument that will make his name immortal. He has: the assistance of thousands of others, Including number of brunette e British subjects from Jamaica and other islands of the West Indies, but
 he is Boss of the job.
 According to an announcement made this month, Col. Goethals will soon be- come a brigadier- general. and will very likely succeed Brigadier-G General Bixby as Chief of Engineers of the United States Army when that officer retfres for age in December of next year. Col. Goethals, however, has ta- ken no active part in the plans for his promotion, and when in New York mot long ago on his way to Panama after
 a visit to Europe, the digger of the ditch told the reporters that his only concern at present is to have the ca nal completed by the first day of 1915. on which memorable date he had promised that ships shall pass between the two great oceans. While abroad Col Goethals was received in audi ence by Emperor William, and his publication of the details of his con- V6TSdt1OH Ol the hdiSeT Was D1lterly resented by many Germans, who ac- cused the canal digger or .suEpardon- able indiscretion.''
 As chief engineer of the Panama Canal, position he has held over five years, Col Goethals receives salary of $12,O00, a year, which is probably far less than he could earn by work ing for private corporations. His pre- decessors were paid $s0.0 900 a year. and each earned much more in salaries after retiring from the canal tub, but as an army officer Col. Goethals has
