Sulzer Wins In Hard
Fought Battle

New York, Nov. 4-William Sulzer,
ousted from the governorship of New
York last month by verdict of a high
court of impeachment, was elected to
the state assembly yesterday from the
Sixth district by a sweeping plurality,
estimated at an early hour at 1900 or
more. Sulzer ran on the progressive
ticket and apparently polled more
votes than his republican and demo-
cratic opponents combined. His old
neighbors on the East Side rallied
strongly to his support and it was
early apparent that he had swamped
the opposition. There was jubilation
unbounded in the former governors
headquarters as the count began to
record his victory.
SulZer all Smiles.
Sulzer himself was all smiles. He
regarded his triumph as a personal
vindication, he said, and isued a state
1nent thanking his supporters and
scoring Charles F. Murphy, leader of
Tammany Hall, who he declared was
condemned by the vote o fthe district.

What's the Differences?
(CantOn Obseryer.l

NSduIOu OUSSIN0I.J
We have just refused to run a large
and high-rate whiskey advertisement.
At first thought we were afraid that
a few of our local business men and
churchmen would faint if the ad ap-
peared. A second consideration of the
subject, however, reminded us of the
fact that some of the said business
men-churchmen would faint if they
we're asked for a small ad or a little
job printing-so what's the difference?
Il looks like there is just so much
fainting that has to be done.

Tea From Coffee Leaves.

Tea, as everybody knows, is made
from leaves, while coffee is derived
from berries or beans. Just here is
where something has been overlooked,
in the opinion of scientific inVesti-
gator The leaves of the coffee plant
are not only available for making a
beverage, but they possess properties
which make them more valuable than
the coffee beans.
In appearance and fragrance the
dried coffee leaves very much resem.
bic those of the tea. plant. An infu
sion of them being made, just as in
the case Of ordinary tea, an aromatic
beverage is produced that is bitter te
the taste, but not disagreeably SO, ant
which contains almost as much theme
as real tea, while there is a mucf
smaller proportion of tannin.
1t may yet be possible to grow tel
and coffee on the same plant.

Something to Be Thankful For.

In her dressing room one evening
Sarah Bernhard summoned one OF
her attendants, and ordered her to
bring some peaches from the nearest
shop. Either the maid misunderstood
the order or she thought, as the say
ing goes, THAT any old fruit would
do" for she came back few min
utes later with half a dozen plump,
Juicy pears in a basket.
At the moment Bernhard was de-
claiming to a friend about the dearth
of good new plays, and anybody
would have thought she was too alb
sorbed in her lamentations to notice
the iaasd:s mistake. She took pear
from the basket slowly and, appar
entity, uncorsciousN, and the male
turned to leave the room.
In an unlucky moment the CIR
paused at the door and looked round
Then, with astonishing swiftness ant
accuracy of aim, Bernhard ralse'
her hand and the pear flew through
space, smashing itself to a juicy pull
on the girls face.
Thank heaven!" was all she said
thank heaven it wasn't an apple!"
