GILL RECEIVED
 A RECORD VOTE
Carried Seattle by Largest Majority in the History of the Spir-
 it City.

SEATTLE, March 5.-Mayor-elect Hiram Gill received the largest ma iority ever given to any candidate in the history of the city His vic tory is sweeping and he carried al most every section of the town. The residents of the lower end of the city, including the former red light district, voted for Gill to 9 unit, believing he would allow them to resume oper- ations, while the respectable resi- dents of the city aided Gill because they believed his promise of reform. and they know that he has the abil- ity if he has the determination to i suppress the forces of the underworld. It is freely predicted that Gill will never allow tn resumption of the conditions which caused his recall, but will strike middle course and will allow no open running of resorts or dives and will keep his promise to 1 close all the cafes.
 A majority of the charter revisions voted upon by the people were adopt ed and Seattle will soon try the com mission form of government in place of the present cumbersome system of city council and mayor.
 Under the new system the commis- sioners will appoint a paid manager for the city, who will have direct control of all branches of the munic- ipality

PULLMAN RATES
 HAVE GONE UP
If Yon Want Commandment Now to Yourself You Must Pay Two
 or Three Fares.

WASHINGTON, March 5-March 5. Beginning tomorrow two can live as cheaply as one, a: least insofar as riding in Pullman drawing rooms is concerned, for an order increasing the cost of high living goes into eff feet on all the large railroads. Or dinary Pullman berth rates are not effected, but where a single passen- ger wants drawing room compart- ment all to himself he will have to pay two, two and one-half or three times the railroad fare plus the Pull man rate, according to the road and train
 On the New York Central lines no drawing room or compartment will be sold to passenger who has not pur- chased two railroad tickets, and those who wish such accommoda tions on the Empire State Limited between New York city and Buffalo will have to buy three tickets. The Pennsyl- vania lines will hereafter require the purchase of tickets aggregating two and one-half times the regular fare between two points before selling a drawing room to a passenger. None of the increase will go to the Pull man company, whose contracts with the various roads remain in force. The increase was not ordered or in stigated by the Interstate Commerce Commission and the sole duty of tha, body will be to see that the new rule is enforced impartially.

AMERICA RICH IN
 JEWEL DEPOSITS
Production of Precious Stones in This Country Assuming Large
 Proportions.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Ame- thyst and turquoise, bluer than sea or sky, diamonds without a flaw, op- als with subtle fire" that makes them priceless, and emeralds green as an island in southern sea-th SC are some of Uncle Sams own jewels and the high tariff on such gems may soon cease to worry the American maid who cannot forget her orna- ments. A report on the mineral re sources of the United States, just made public by the United States Geological Survey, shows that the pro duction of precious stones in this country is assuming the proportions of an established industry.
 Sapphires are the most abundant, and during the last twelve months fol which records are available gems ap- proximating $26O.O00 in value were mined in Fergus county, Montana Opals, some of d finer quality than those found in the big mines of Aus tralia, have been discovered in Hum boldt county. Nevada, and San Der nadine, California, the production be
 ing ten times as large in 1912 as in any previous year. Diamonds have been found in such quantities in Ark ansas and Indiana, as to make them d commercial factor, and scattered stones have been picked up in Cali fornia, Wisconsin and Texas. From a lapidarian standpoint North Carolina is one of the richest states. two emer- aid mines being located near Shelby and amethyst deposits have been found in Lincoln and Warren coun- ties. Beryl has been found in Alex ander county. Turquoise exists in large quantities in New Mexico, and topaz is being shipped from Mason county, Texas.

PASTOR DAMNED;
 LOSES HIS JOB
Rev Charles Quinn Says He Did Not Use the Word as Swear
 Word, But Deacons Kick.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The Rev. Charles L. Quinn, pastor of the Re formed Episcopal Church in Leonard street, Greenpoint, spent today pre- pairing his "valedictory" sermon in that pulpit. Dr. Quinn planned to resign tomorrow upon the suggestion of Bishop Rudolph, of Manhattan, fol- lowing charges by some members of his congregation that he said during conversation, You be damned" or "Ill be damned"
 Quinn today again explained that he did not say either. He explained that he did say there are lots of things damned sight worse than dancing" He explained thus: But I used damned in the past tense, which the dictionary tells you means condemned, detestable. Therefore l did not use damn as a swear word There was no profanity"
 Scores of Rev. Quinn's parishioners fought the action of certain church officials against the young pastor, and they used every influence to keep him from resigning, declaring he has greatly increased the membership of the church.

BULlF|GHTS DRAW
 LIKE BASEBALL
Crowds Not Satisfied Unless Horses Are DisembowIed and Men Killed
 Held on Sundays.

MEXICO CITY, March 5.-A worlds
 championship crowd goes every Sun
 day to the bull fight in the great
 steel and cement ring at Condesa.
 All week there are cues at the bull
 fight ticket offices. The crowd will
 endure everything but cowardly
 bulls. A bull that won't charge on the horses as soon as it's rushed in to the arena, brings vast volumes of jeers. It isn't the bull that's being
 ieered, however, but the management for not getting better bulls. One re- cent Sunday two bulls in succession were unsatisfactory to the crowd, whereupon a small revolution took place.
 Cushions and pop bottles flew from thousands of waving arms, at the bull fighters, the bulls and the horses. All
 the humans in the ring took to shel-
 self, who used to be bootblack, but now gets $4000 for each Sunday after noons work, outsalarying Caruso. The
 uproar grows. The judges hang up d sign, "S500 fine for throwing objects into the ring" Immediately the crowd commits about $5,000, ,OOO worth of that offense, just to show what they think of the entire questionable arrange ment. The whole 10000 persons seem to have become demented The band
 of over 100 pieces is unheard.
 Suddenly new bull dashes into
 the arena and drives it's horns into the stomach of horse, disembowel- ing it. The horse stands erect mo ment and tries to walk with its en- trails dragging on the ground. The yells of the crowd turn. to cheers. Gaona jumps into the ring again. The bull dashes at him and he steps away out of the way, so that the horns
 barely miss him and the bulls black side scrapes Gaonas body.
 No beer bottles or cushions for Ga ona now. The air is filled with hats flying into the ring. Gaona is a ia vor'te again Attendants rush into the ring throw the hats back into the | seats. Gradually each man gets his hat back--for when a Mexican throws
 his hat into the ring he always gets it
 back again, or he'll make trouble fol
 the management--and the bull fight
 goes on.

 most remarkable toreadors Mexico

THE COLOR OF GOLD.
Its Shade of Yellow Depends Upon the
Metal Used In Alloy.


Metal Used In Alloy.
Gold that is used In jewelry and
coins is always alleged with copper or
sometimes, as In the former, with sill
yer. Addition Of copper makes the
color the popular golden yellow" or
ange or reddish gold. Silver turns gold
pale yellow We seldom see pure gold.
but it has that indescribable yellow
that so often fascinates.
The pure metal is so malleable that
it can be beaten between strips of vel
lum into sheets notwithstanding
thousandths of an inch in thickness. In
this form it is transparent and trans
mits green light.
When very finely divided gold is sus-
pended in a liquid by precipitation
from a solution it transmits green light
similar to that of the leaf gold. Yet in
ordinary well diffused light 1t seems
purple, for this is the color it reflects.
In other words. If light is placed be-
hind a jar containing a liquid with gold
in fine suspension it looks green, where
as If the light is placed in front or at
the side the color is purple. The vapor
from boiling molten gold is also purple.
What. then. is the real color of gold?
The color of a substance depends on
its ability to reflect only light of that
color, which In turn is due to the ar
rangement of the molecules. 1t seems,
then. even the simple mechanical
changes which we mentioned before as
altering the physical properties are ac-
companied by radical changes among
the molecules as far as their mutual re-
lationships are concerned.-NewY York

Nest Eggs For Jam Pots.

When a large glass jar of jam or
preserves is opened and it is not the
housekeeper's desire to use it all at
once she is often in a quandary to know
how to dispose of what is left when
the first few spoonfuls have been re-
moved. The best method yet suggest
ed is this:
Let the housekeeper have a small
stock of china nest eggs, which can be
bought for about a cent apiece. When
she removes part of the contents of a
jar let her drop into it enough of the
china eggs to raise the contents to the
top again; then replace the cover. OF
course the china eggs should be dipped
into boiling water first in order that
they may not introduce the germs of
