YESTERDAYS ELECTION

There can be no doubt as to the
will OF the people in the election
of five councilmen yesterday. The
majorities of the Citizens Ticket
are handsome and conclusive. The
size of the vote is one of the most
encouraging things, likewise.
There were about $500 qualified
voters; that is, of the total cleo
torate, that number had regis
tered. OF these $500, 2,504 vot-
ed, or attempted to vote, according
to the returns. 30 votes were
thrown out as improperly marked.
That is, in many instances, not
withStanding the very explicit IN
structions contained in advertise
mentS in the Gazette, Sin or seven
names were left unScratched on
the ballot, and in some instances,
nine. This leads us to make the
suggestion that in the next cleo
ton. schools of instruction be
held. illustrating on blackboard
the exact way in which a vote
should be made out. Too much
care cannot be exercised in these
matters. as in case of a close vote
the ballots thrown out might de
ternnne the election in favor OF
the opposition, in which event the
will OF the majority would be de-
feated.
We congratulate the women OF
Alexandria. The election is
theirs! In the many years in
which we have, ourselves, taken
active part in the politics OF the
day, we have never beheld a spec
tacle more thrilling. more convnc-
ing as to the unSclhSh patriotism
of an electorate, than the sclf-ab-
negation, the unrcmittiug energy
and zeal displayed by the women
in the election just held There
were more registered women vot-
erS than men. There were more
women voters at the polls yeStcr-

the Third Ward there were 4O5

The Doomed Seven

My seven cousins used to drive
before my cottage door, and they
seemed very much alive, but now
they are no more. James Henry's
car was trimmed with brass, and
blithely it would fee; he stepped
too fercely on the gas and wound
it round a tree. John drove a car
with faulty brakes-he would not
fix the same; we gathered up, with
garden rakes, the fragments of his
frame. Ned was a glad and smil-
ing wight; where is that springald
now? He ran without his lamps
one night, and bumped against a
COW. Charles tried to cross a rail-
way track before a rushing train !;
there were nine fractures in his
back, his head was rent in twain.
And Joseph swung around a curve
at fifty miles an hour; his monu-
ment you will observe hard by yon
old gray tower. Adolphus lit a
match to see if he had gasoline. and
by the mere and on the lea he is no
longer seen. Theophilus was prone
to race with other speeding boats,

Craze the village goats. No more

y rumor is current among fol-
