The Sense OF Smell.

What a marvellously delicate ma
chinery is set in motion wehn We smell
me fragrance of 4 rose, Simple as
that pleasurable sensation seems to
Us, il involves the activity of agencies
and forces that the imagination can
scarcely grasp. II has been shown that
the minute cells at the ends of the
olfactory nerves in the nose bear the
most delicate little hairs, and il is be-
lieved that these hairs are the active
agents in producing the sense Of smell.
Yet when We come to inquire into
the manner OF operations of these
cells and hairs We find that it is even
more wonderful than the delicacy of
the mechanism itself.
II has been suggested that At least
one special cell and the nerve fibre
connecting il with the brain may be
affected by each different smell-pro-
ducing substance. But, as Professor
Rutherford remarked at the meeting OF
the British Association last August,
at would be a somewhat serious
stretch of imagination to suppose that
for each new smell of substance
yet to emerge from the retort of the
chemist there is in waiting a special
nerve terminal in the nose"
He thinks il is more reasonable tc
suppose that all the hairs Of the olfac.
tory cells are affected by every smell.

those cells to the brain.

rose, something in the violet and the
lilac, something in every substance
which produces smell either agree
able or offensive, that is able so t.

We are reminded that the difference.

You put couple of spoonfuls of SUI
gar on your cereal and as many more
into your coffee every morning, but
only few grains Of salt on your eggs
or meat. You would say-would you
not ?-that you used more sugar than
salt, and that the makers of candy
and preserves used quite as many
pounds of sugar as the people who
cure meats use of salt. Every house
holder buys ten pounds Of sugar to two
or three of salt. Yet in the course
of year the nation uses a round mil
lion tons more salt than sugar. The
explanation probably lies in the faci
that salt is used more generally ir
chemical processes of all kinds. Al
least that is the only way anyone car
account for it.

Richmond Elects
Solid Democratic
List of Officials
Even Cromwell, Whose Fol
lowing Didn't Suspect a
Possibility of Defeat, Is
Lost In Hylan Avalanche

Richmond Borough joined the Demo-
cratic procession yesterday, electing a
Borough President and Sheriff. Matthew
j. Cahill, once a Coroner and later
Deputy Tax Commissioner, where un-
der the Purdy board he had lot of
trouble, leaving the department after
an investigation and charges, defeated
George Cromwell, Republican, by about
1000.
Senator Cromwell was the first Pres
ident of Richmond Borough, and his
friends had the greatest hope that yes
terday he would repeat" The Hylan-
ties worked the garbage and fve-cent
fare issues to the limit, with the result
that the Republicans apparently lost
everything.
Forty of the seventy-nine election
districts at midnight gave Cromwell,
Republican, 5,957: Cahill, Democrat,
s,o65; Kuhn, Socialist, 1876.
The Democrats also elected their
candidate for Sheriff, Harry Rudolph
beating Spire Pitou. Thirty election
districts out of seventy-nine at mid
night gave Pitou, Republican, 1856;
Rudolph, Democrat, $500; Eichle, So
cialist. Ill
The indications at midnight were
that the Republican candidates for AL
dermen and Assembly shared the fate
OF their colleagues elsewhere

Ohio Endorses Soldiers
Bonus by 500, 900 Votes
Returns Indicate Defeat of Plan
to Rearrange Senatorial
Districts

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. s--Unoficisl
returns from approximately one-ffth
of the total precincts in Ohio in To-
days elections showed the soldiers
bonus amendment leading by almost
to l. Two other proposed consti-
tutional amendments apparently met
with little favor, the same returns
showing a vote Of Art 3 to 1
against proposal for poll tax and
vote of somewhat less than ? to 1 on
a proposal to rearrange state sen@<
torial districts.
Tabulated returns from 1892 pre-
einets showed the following vote: For
soldiers bonus, 143,529; against,
5o,141. For poll tax, S6,755; against,
105,t87. For redistricting, 1855;
against, 74,493.
On tte basis Of returns received at
his Office late tonight, Secretary of
State Harvey Smith estimated that the
soldiers bonus proposal would carry
by at least 500,00a majority, while the
poll tax and senatorial re-districting
proposals would be defeated by from
250.000 to 800 600 votes.
The three proposals were the only
state issues voted upon to-day. All
three we're initiated by the General
Assembly.

Tammany's Candidate for
Manhattan Borough Presi-
dent Elected With Rest
of Murphy-Hearst Slate

Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany
boss, with the aid of William r. Hearst
with whom he has been in political
partnership for the last four years,
yesterday recaptured full control of
Manhattan Borough by the election of
ex-senator Julius Miller to the Office
of President of the Borough of Man
haitian, defeating Ernest F. Eilert, Re
publican, by an indicated plurality Of
about 81 900.
Two years ago Henry H. Curran de-
feated Edward F. Boyle, the Tammany
nominee, by 5000.
Three hundred election districts out
of 979 in Manhattan at 1880 this morn
ing gave Miller, 67,143; Eilert, 39,337;
Cannon, Socialist, 1886.
The same number of election districts
gave Joab H. Banton, Tammany candi-
date for District Attorney of New York
County, 69,290; Clark, Republican,
81 zoe; Block, Socialist, 1885, indicating
a plurality for Banton on the full re-
turns of about 100000.
Tammany also scooped in the other
county Offices, electing Major Percival
F.. Nagle, Sheriff, over John S. Shea,
hcpuDuCdH.
! James A, Donegan, Hearst Murphy
candidate for County Clerk, was easily
elected over his Republican opponent,
Charles Noveilo.
Miss Annie Mathews, Tammany can
didate for County Register, defeated
her Republican rival, Miss Helen
Varick Boswell
In each instance the Socialist candi-
date ran third, generally making a
poor showing compared with the great
ago, when he polled nearly 10000
votes, without the women taking part
in the election.
Tammany elected all It's candidates
for judges. Judge Joseph F. Mulqueen,
of the Court of General Sessions. was
indorsed by the Republicans, so that
he did not figure in the battle - a7v
extent. The Tammany candidates,
Judge Afe--ad J. Taney and 81.
Francis K. Mancuso. defeated their Re-
publican opponents, Judge Morris Koe-
mig and John H iselin The friends
of Judge Koenig, brother of the Repub-
l1can county leader, on account OF the
spirited campaign made in his behalf
expect that the full returns will show
that he ran far ahead of his ticket.
The Jammanv men say. however. that
even If he does run ahead there is no
doupt ABOUT is defeat.
Il do not concede my defeat" said
Mr.. Eilert early this morning. Mr..
Ellert said that while the face of the
returns received seemed to indicate a
Democratic sweep, he thought the later
figures would make a better showing
for him.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. s.--Sweep-

Republican Women.
Undismayed, Ready
10 Continue Fight
Defeat Will Only Strengthen
Purpose TO Rid City of
1ammany Rule, Leaders
Assert; Rally Tomorrow

Republican women leaders recovered
from their dismay at the extent of the
Tammany victory last night in time to
plan new campaign before midnight.
At the Women's National Republican
Club, where many of the leaders gath
cred to hear the returns, there was
only one topic of conversation after 10
o'clock, and that was the measures that
We're to be taken to insure a better
and harder fight in the next four
years.
"We have not lost heart. We shall
start in Tomorrow" said Miss Mary L.
Wood, chairman of the women's cam
paign committee. "The lesson of this
defeat seems to be that the anti-Tam-
many forces cannot depend on spas-
election. We must work 365 days in
the year for the next four years, and
we must devote ourselves definitely to
the organization. There must be no
more divided allegiance"
Fight to Finish on Tammany
Even if our candidates have not
won, the purpose for which we or
ganized has not died. 1t will never
die until Tammany is exterminated."
Mrs. Arthur L. Livermore, chairman
OF the Women's State Executive Com
mittee, said:
There has been great deal of talk
about the woman vote, but it is i'm
possible to separate the women's vote
from the mems. The women's vote is
divided, just rs is the men ns--there
are women and women Tbs anlv hope
for those who wish to see Tammany
/ defeated is n organization and educa-
ton Of the women IN political acts.
We are not discouraged. but we are
surprised at the city we live NJ
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of
the League of Women Voters, which
vote to Curran. pointed out that mas
much as the women cast only one-third
of the total vote, they should be held
only one-third responsible.
AS women constitute the new ele-
nent in politics attention IS naturally
focused on them, and they are unduly
praised or blamed for all election re-
saltss' she said
"In this municipal election women
constituted approximately 35 Per cent
Of the registered vote ard men 65 per
/ cent NHTHI0Te. the LalT way OF JuGg-
ing women votegs OF New York City is
to hold them accountable for IS per
cent Of the total vote. No one who
thinks would expect this 10 20 n a
solid unit for any candidate or party.
While the results Of the election are
disappointing 10 those vino thought 4
change Of administration advisable.
many citizens made their protest
through the ballot box against the way
the clty has been managed, and this
may be enlightening to the men who
i resume Office
Must Educate All Citizens
"The election shows the need Of
more political and civic education for
both men and women. Organizations
throughout the city that have ideals
of good government should renew their
efforts to enable our citizens to handle
their municipal problems more in
telligently."
Mrs. Mary Hatch Willard announced
that the Committee of One Hundred
would hold a rally for the new cam
paign tomorrow afternoon at the
| Hotel Plaza, at which the reasons for
the defeat would be analyzed and plans
made for the future.

mately 10000, and his opponent, Will

Bronx Results
Exceed Hopes
OF Democrats
Margin Twice as Large as
Predicted; Flynn Elected
Sheriff Over Kane, Spoil.
ing Lawrence Strategy

The smashing Hylan vote in the
Borough of the Bronx carried all the
democratic nominees on the borough
and county tickets to victory. The
margin was twice as great as Tax Com
missioner Arthur Murphy, the Bronx
Democratic leader, and his colleagues
IN the Democratic camp had expected.
Edward j. Flynn was elected Sheriff
over Patrick j. Kane, the coalition
candidate, thereby spelling the stategy
of Richard w. Lawrence, the Repub
Iican leader of the Bronx, who expected
that Kane, with his Democratic follow
ing, would with the aid of the Repub-
licans capture the Sheriff's Office.
District Attorney Edward j. Glen
non, who was opposed by Harold c.
Knoeppel, had an easy time of it. Thirty
election districts out of 389 at mid
night gave Glennon, s,410; Knoeppel,
$3.50; Orr, Socialist, 2.21s.
Another Republican hope that went
wrong was the defeat of Daniel P. Sui
livan, candidate for County Clerk, by
ROBERT l.. Moran, who was defeated two
years ago by Major La Guardia when
he ran for President Of the Board of
Aldermen.
In similar way Edward Polak. Dem
ocratic candidate for County Register,
defeated Thomas Cowan, his Repub-
lican opponent.
The first FIVE election districts to re-
port offered the Republicans a CLEAN of
hope. as they gave Levine, Republican
candidate for President of the Bor-
ough, 2,720; Bruckner, Democrat, 1,017;
Seidel, Socialist, IT.. AS the Demo-
cratic majorities kept on climbing the
Republicans soon lost interest in the
returns.
