Especial to The lntelligencer. J
WASHINGTON, Oct. ~
Pennsylvania, New York, and
Ohio are among the interesting
political sections of the United
States just now, and the most in
tereSting of these is Ohio.
1t looks as if the Democratic
candidate for governor, Mr.. Cox,
had everything in his favor, and
his election is confidently expect
ed. But there are side issues that
are interesting-rather. there is a
chief issue which lends most in
terest to the campaign, and that
issue; is liquor. Mr.. Garfield, the
Progressive candidate for COVER
nor, has come out flatly for pro.
hibition, and hundreds of '"tem.
perance Republicans" have ind;.
Gated that they will support him
forrthis reason. The Republican
candidate for governor, MIR. Viii
lis, has come out personally for
prohibition, Eut declares that he
does not speak for his party. The
Democratic candidate, Mr.. Cox,
has not espoused the temperance
cause, and is therefore classed as
anti-prohibition.
The fact that Garfield and Viii
lis viii divide, to some extent, the
prohibition vote and the RepubIi-
can vote would indicate that Mr..
Cox should win easily. and while
this is confidently expected by the

Democratic leaders, it is by no
means certain.
National Prohibition?
Mr.. Garfield puts the question
squarely up to the audiences that
he addresses. He tells them that
if they want to drink liquor, they
should vote for Mr.. Cox; if they
don't want to drink liquor, they
should vote for him (Garfield) /;
if they don't know what they
want, they should vote for Mr.,
Willis, the Republican candidate.
Many experienced observers de-
clare that the Ohio campaign this
year is one of the most impor-
tant in the history of the prohibit
tion, may win, it is quite proba-
bic that the combined vote of the
two prohibition candidates, Gar
field and Willis, will be considera-
bly, larger than the vote of Mr..
Cox. If OEna, say impartial,
judges, with us big cities of Gin
cinnati, Columbus, Cleveland,
Toledo, ETC., shall cast a majori-
ty vote against liquor, it will mean
the greatest impetus ever given to
the already strong movement to
have national prohibition
amendment To The Constitution Of
the United States submitted and
ratified.

OLD STYLES BEING REVIVED
Horsehair Furniture, Wax Flowers and
Other Monstrosities Of the Vic
torian Era Coming Back.

A sigh Of relief went up quarter Of
century ago when the ugly furniture
and ornaments of the early and mid
Victorian era went out Of fashion. and
horsehair-covered furniture was re-
placed by better designs and comfort
able leather and stuff coverings. and
people began to look around them for
less hideous decorations for their
rooms.
Nowadays, however, Victorian things
seem to be returning to favor In Eng
land, and most OF the small dealers in
antiques are stocking them to large
extent.
The early Victorian drawtng-Foom
chairs, inlaid with mother Of pearl and
having gilt designs. are fetching high
prices, and the mahogany and walnut
work tables which the present genera
ton remembers their grandmothers
using. are given a place Of honor in
the window.
Baskets Of wax flowers and fruit
under glass and white stone figures
and vases are also in demand. and.
without their glass covers, find place
in the collectors cabinet. The copper
breakfast service and hot-water ket-
ties are much sought after.
The hideous early Victorian mahog-
any and horsehair furniture also has
returned. 1t disappeared because the
mahogany was used for making the
popular reproductions OF Chippendale
and Sheraton chairs.
EngravinSs after Landseer and Frith
are again given a place ON the wall.
and the engravings OF women to be
found in the many books of beauty
published 80 years ago are being used
for decoration.

Something Wronu,

A teacher in q Cleveland school
came downstairs from her room and
discovered, just as she reached the
front steps, that she had forgotten her
rubbers.
The streets were slushy and she
turned back to get the forgotten foot
wear. AS she reached the foot OF the
stairway she noticed boy coming
down. She recognized him as one of
the backward pupils who receive spe-
cial attention in class by them
selves. She decided to ask him to get
the rubbers.
Charlie" she called, 10 you know
where my room is?"
He stared at her.
Nom, I don't know" he mumbied.
Then he turned round and ran up the
stairs. He didn't stop running until
he entered the schoolroom and con-
fronted his teacher.
please, teacher" he gasped, some
things wrong with Miss Brown"
why, what do you mean, Char1fe?' p
''Please, teacher, she don't know
where her room is!"
what makes you think she doesn't
know, Charlie?'

BREAD IN FORM OF SHEETS
Arabian Finds a Couple of Yards
Handy In Many Ways, as Water
proof, for Instance.

Instead of baking bread in loaves,
the inhabitants of Asia Minor, Arabia,
Turkestan and the igris-Euphrates
valley make 1t into sheets. These
sheets are about 40 inches wide and
twice as long, and the natives make
almost as much use of them as the
American Indian does of birch bark.
If they need an awning for protection
against sun or rain, they unwind a
roll Of this bread, and carry it back
and forth over a pole several times,
much as camper puts up dog tent;
mutton tallow, the bread is fairly
waterproof
1t is a comical sight to see a team
ster or camel driver of the Levant
travel placidly through heavy
shower with a couple of yards of
bread sheeting thrown over his
shoulders, and to see him tear of
pieces here and there and chew on
them if he feels hungry. The bread
is made of durum wheat flour mixed
with the pulp of sultana raisins,
which give it a sweet taste and a
slight fragrance like that of honey
The Arab uses his sheets of bread
which look like chamofs leather, for
a makeshift blanket, and it is said
by travellers who have tried it that it
keeps the heat in and the cold out
almost as we'll as real blanket. But
some Of the Russian engineers at
work on the construction of the trans
Siberian railway did even better, for
they made paste of the bread by
boiling several pieces, and then stuck
together two strips of the sheeting
each a metre wide by two metres
long. Thus they manufactured a
sleeping bag, and a very comfortable
one, too.
The Turkish peasants use this fiat
bread for window panes, and in the
bazaars the venders of merchandise
wind up pieces as a grocer does q
paper cornucopia, and use them tc
hold small amounts of nuts, Turkish
candies, or squares of sugar. O1
course, the purchaser eats the bag
with it's contents. In the same shape
the bread sheeting is used for holding
the fruity drinks of the Bosphorus;
but It will not stand hot liquors, ever
when it Is coated with almond oil
Thanks to the raisin pulp, the bread
is of remarkable elasticity, and car
be bent back and forth without crack
ing It has actually been used fol
okbinding.-Youth Companion.

"Timidity" Led to Red Hat.


Cardinal Kopp, who died recently at
Troppau, Silesia, was telegraph op'
orator on the Hanoverian state rail

was he paid that he was often woe
fully in arrears with his board and
lodging. An unexpected bonus of SIS
seemed fortune to him.

ship he was to have joined the regu
lar staff had not the supervisor OF
his department, Won Griesbach, made
the following confidential report
which has just been published:
Telegraph Clerk George Kopp has
made earnest endeavors to become an
efficient operator, but his timid and
diffident character ill fits him for the
public service. He lacks force, con
f1dence, presence of mind and quick
ness of decision in graphing with
emergencies.
"On the other hand, Kopp has
shown considerable industry and zeal
He Is Intellectually somewhat above
the average, so that I can confidently
recommend him for administrative
work. At the same time 1 suggest
that his definite appointment be post
poned for another two months"
Thus, damned with faint praise,
Kopp never got his appointment al
all, and eventually he resigned

of Breslau, he sat at state banquets

What He Did.

A little town boasts church whose
pastor, besides being an eloquent
preacher, Is a man of stalwart proper
tions. At one Of his evening prayer
meetings the services were disturbed
by two young nsen who audibly scoffed
at everything they saw or heard
Finally the pastor demonstrated with
them on their behavior, and asked
thell why they had attended the
meeting.
I'VE came to see miracles per
formed" impudently replied one o.
the rascals.
Leaving the pulpit and walking
quietly down the aisle, the minister
seized one after the other by the
collar, and as they disappeared out o1
the door with an imprint of his boot
remarked: eve don't perform mir
acles here. but we do cast out devils.

Railroad Not Rospo0sibIe,

The supreme judicial court of Massa-
chusetts holds that where passenger
seated in a moving train was injured
by some object crashing through the
window striking her ON the arm, the
rule res ipsa loQuitur did not apply and
a case OF negligence was not made out
against the railroad company. 1t ap-
peared that later a baggage master
found a stone under the seats ON the
opposite side Of the car from which
the plaintiff sat. 1t was about the
size Of a hens egg and oorresponded
with the hole in the window and was
clean. On the other hand the plain
tiff testified that train going in the
opposite direction passed her train and
that two days after the accident she
noticed black oil mark on the outside
Of her coat where she had been struck.

Maneuvers on a large scale and the
acquisition OF gigantic dreadnaught
the Rio de Janeiro, to be followed by
the purchase of two more, do not pre-
sage the continuance of European
peace. Greece also is planning similar
maneuvers in the Epirus.
Albania is divided against itself The
state Of affairs in Macedonia Is worse
than chaotic. Albanian, Turkish and
Bulgarian bands are bound to be
formed In Macedonia as a consequence
Of the severe regime prevailing there.
In Thrace the Turks are equal masters
with the Bulgarian authorities, owing
to the proximity of the Turkish second
capital and to the fact that the rail-
road communications between Bull
garia and cities of Thrace are in the
hands Of the Turks.
My conclusion after visiting Adria-
nople and Thrace, and after viewing
the threatening clouds that hover over
the Balkans on nearly all sides, is that

Ever Present Buzzard.
Busy, indeed, is that Broadway of
Panama. Instead of street cars there
are hacks innumerable. Traffic costs
but ten cents from any one point in
town to another and so every one,
even to the poorest negro, rides in the
landaux. Each such vehicle has it's

bringing to mind the drivers cries for

You turn from peering high at them
to the little shops in which the famous
Panama hats are sold. Hats can be
had in price from five dollars up-gold
always. All American money in Pana-
ma is gold; all Panamayan money is
silver. Whatever it's denomination,
the silver money is worth just one
half that sum in gold.
Panama has another native product
for which she is world-renowned and
Of which specimens are to be had in
these little shops. This is the native
lace and embroidery, often made in
the rear of the shop itself The wares
will range in value from five cents the
yard up.
Throughout this heart of the business
district, step behind the little store
and you are in a quaint, interesting
courtyard. One great establishment is
known as The Devil" and American
girls, having bought hats in it, are
wont to make a bee-l1ne to "The
Devils" back yard to have snapshots
taken OF themselves among the palm
trees.
Wander off in another section of
Panama city and the old depot recalls
memories Of your readings Of child
hood. Built of stone, now gray with
age, the depot is a survival of the days
almost of the '49ers. 1t brings to mind
the wondrous tales of how, before the
railway came, men had to cross the
isthmus on donkeys; of the fever and
pestilence from which they suffered;
Of the great heat and how mules stun
bled to destruction on the trails; how
guides would renegade and held one
up, and how, now and then, outlaw
bands swept down and boldly MUIR

modern station not far distant.
And then your first evening in
Panama! Oh, how you envy the lucky

MIRROR FOR DAINTY WOMAN / I
May Be Held in the Mouth, Leaving
Both Hands Free to Arrange
the Back Hair.

At last woman may have both
hands free to arrange her back hair
as she looks in a mirror. This is made
possible now by the invention of a mir
ror which can be held in the mouth,
thus rejecting the back of the head
from the main mirror of the dressing
table.
1t is the invention of Frenchman,
Who has given so much thought to the
elegancies of woman's toilet as the
French?
This new mirror is broad, so as to
give a good general view sidewise, and.
being fixed on curved bar, stands
well out from the face, so that there is
no strain on the eyes.
At the bottom of the curved bar is
the bite" not too large for dainty
mouths and covered with batting, so
as to be easily held without harming
the teeth.
Even the hygienic side of the use of
this mirror has been considered, for a
number Of thick envelopes just fitting
over the bite" come with the mirror,
so that you may lend it TO =our friend
and neither she nor you fear any con-
tagion.
