Elections This Tear.
While 189!) is nil off year in politics,
some very interesting elections will
be held in November. In fact, there
will be contests in eleven States, four
of which were carried in the last elec
tion by the Democrats Hnd seven by
Our Marvellous Railroad Growth.
New York World.
The latest issue of the Chicago
Railway Age gives the statistics of
railroad construction in the United
States in 1898, with the prospects for
1899. It U a gratifying exhibit.
The actual amount of track laid in
1898 was 3,082 miles. As the railroad
construction of the preceding four
years did not exceed 1,900 miles this
shows a remarkable increase, espe- [
daily as In some parts of the country
our railroad system is now complete.
Not a single mile of new track was laid
the Republicans. Thp following list
show's the States in which elections j * aHl year in New Hampshire, Rhode j
will be held in November, and also Island, Massachusetts or . Kansas,
the offices to he filled:
Iowa—For Governor and other
State officers.
Kentucky—For Governor and other
State officers.
Maryland—For Governor and both
houses of tlie Legislature.
Massachusetts — For Governor,
State officers and both houses of the
I/eglslature.
Mississippi—For Governor, Stnte
officers, a Legislature, and all county
officers.
Nebraska—For Justice of the Su
preme Court and two members of the
board of regents.
New Jersey—Fight State Senators,
sixty members of the Assembly, and
county officers.
New York—Two Justices of the Su
preme Court in first judicial district,
one Justice in fifth district, three Jus
tices in eighth district, and. one hun
dred and fifty members of the Assem
bly.
Ohio—Governor and all State offi
cer*.
Pennsylvania—State Treasurer, two
Judges of the Supreme Court and one
Judge of the Superior Court.
Virginia—Secretary of the Com
monwealth, Treasurer, and minor
State officers.
These elections are Important, in
that their results will, to some ex
tent, influence the voting in 1900.
The eleven States are widely scat
tered throughout the Union, and the
New York World says the November
elections will afford a fair test of pub
lic opinion. Nebraska and Ohio are
expected to be the center of interest
In the campaign of this year, one be
ing the home of President McKinley
and the other that of Hon. W. J.
Jlryan, already an active candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency. The outlook in Ohio
is more than usually encouraging
for the Democrats, on account of fac
tional differences and dissensions.
Senator Hanna, the leader of the Mc
Kinley forces, has antagonized some
very strong Republicans in Ohio, es
pecially in the recent elections in
Cleveland and Toledo. The situation
W entirely hopeful for the Democrats,
so for as Oiiio concerned. As to Ne
braska, the Republicans and Demo
crats who oppose Mr. Bryan are es
pecially active in trying to defeat him
at home, and thus destroy his chances
for securing the nomination for Pres
ident. In the other nine States, party
lines will doubtless be well drawn and
the campaigns fought without any
special incidents of importance.

Punxiutawney Spirit.
Thereto something almost pathetic
in the faithfulness to business and the
unwavering diligence of the ordinary
ben, when she gets her heart set on
batching out a brood of chickens. She
will sit uil day on an old door knob
and dream of the happy day when
she can strut around in the back lot
with a dozen or so of fuzzy chicks at
her heels, scratching and clucking
and swelling out her feathers with
•elf-importance. In order to satisfy
this motherly instinct she is not only
willing, but frantic, to deny herself
all of the ordinary pleasures of life.
She doesn’t earn for a “good time.’’
She is perfectly content to stay at
borne and attend to her maternal du
ties, and has no concern about how
ber feathers are adjusted or whether
her comb hangs straight. When a hen
is laying and not thinking of family
matters, she takes pride in her red
comb, and is frequently seen oiling
her feathers and trying to make her
self look attractive. But your “old
.duck” is a perfect type of the devo
ted mother. Her whole being is al^
sorbed in the one thought of rearing
ber family, and even if required to
hatch out a brood of ducks or turkeys
she bends to her task with the same
enthusiasm as though she had laid
the eggs herself. /

while Connecticut, Delaware, New
Jersey and Vermont report only two
miles each of additional track, with
sevdn miles in Wyoming, eight in
Tennessee and less than one mile in
Nebraska.
According to the estimate of the
Railway Age not less than 6,000 miles
of new railroad will be built during
the current yoar, nearly the whole
amount representing extensions of
existing lines, with increased facili
ties for business and a resultant in
crease in national prosperity.

('inolnnntl Enquirer.
The captain had not been long mar
ried when he was ordered into camp.
The long-expected call had come at
last. To be sure, the camp was in
plain sight of the captain’s residence,
which was some mitigation of the
hardship, but then it was still a sep
aration; and to lighten this terrible
condition It was arranged that the
bereaved husband and wife should
signal to each other often with hand
kerchiefs. It was on the second day
that the young wj/e was seated on the
porch reading.
“Tell me, Jans," she said, “is
Arthur still signalling?"
“Yes, ma’am," answered the maid.
"Then keep waiving your handker
chief. I want to flnish this novel."
At the same moment in camp an
officer from an adjoining company
stepped up to the captain.
“I say, old man," he asked, “why
do you keep that man out there ail
day waving a handkerchief?”
“Oh, it’s merely a bit of signal code
practice for him," he answered.
“Say, I’ve got some good stuff in
side.”
I was reading Hn advertisement of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhoea Remedy in the Worcester En
terprise recently, which leads me to

“Lnst summer,” soys nil English
writer, “a friend presented us with u
tortoise. I do not know whether our
dog hnd hoard of turtle soup, or
whether lie regarded the crenture as
a new kind of bone that, walked
about; at any rate, he determined to
eat it.
“Whenever the tortoise started out
on a constitutional down the garden
path Gyp nrrfested it and carried it
into the kennel, where he gnawed at
the impenetrable armor till his jaws
ached.
“The cnlm and philosophical man
ner with which the tortoise resumed its
interrupted promenade irritated the
dog exceedingly, but no failure dis
couraged him. Whenever we remind
ed him of the tortoise, lie would go
in search o( it all round the garden,
peering into every crevice, till event
ually the crenture was found, nnd
then fresh attempts were made to ex
tract the meaty portions from the
shell.”

“Ashea of Angela" Cake.
I once knew an estimable lady who
in the absence of her cook undertook to
make a certain kind of cake. She took
“some” of one kind of ingredient, "a lit
tle” of another and "a small quantity"
of something else. To her delight and
surprise, the result wits a cake of which
neither she nor nny one else had ever
heurd. It was mi entirely new cuke and
sn extremely delicious one. Proud of
her achievement, the indy gave the cake
the beau jifnl and poetic name of "ashes
of angels." and on the very next occa
sion when the nhsence of her cook made
it possible for her to venture into her
kitchen she tried to repeat her Kin cess.
This event happened in the year I8M3,
and ever since that date the unfortunate
lady has been vainly trying to repro- '
dnee tier wonderful cake. Hhe has never
once succeeded, although she has made
at least 200 diffen nt varieties of cake
and pudding, each one of which has
been more deadly than the other. She
is still hoping Hint one of these days
she may hit upon ln:r "ashes of angels"
again.'but as that cuke was purely the
result of chance the prospect that she
will hn able to make it it second time is
not bright.—W. L. Alden in Pearson's
Magazine.

Dotty Thimble l ushed up the stairs
to Lucy Cleary's room and burst through
the door.
"He isn’t such a fool, after all!" she
exclaimed.
"Who isn’t?" asked Lucy wonder-
ingly.
"That Gerald Thompson."
Lucy’s lip curled. “What makes you
think so V" she asked.
“'Cause he kept us all guessing for
three hours at Maria Eveson’s library
party last night."
"Did lie? How?"
“He ciinio in with a bicycle lyck tied

“Wlmt did that mean?"

A llelllcoat* Youth.
The hoy is still father to the man. A
certain prominent political hustler,
who, like the British tar in "Pinafore.”
Is ever ready with his fists, showed his
pugilistic taste at an early age.
The first dnv he went to school the
family were, of course, anxious to know
hiH impression of the new occupation.
"Well. Hammy." said his father,
"wlmt did you learn on your first day at
school ?"
Straightening up ami assuming a
bellicose attitude, Hum replied, "Father,
1 learned 1 can lick every boy in my
class. ”
A few days later his love of pugilism
and frequent battles led to his expul
sion. He came home that day mid hiiv-
pyised liis good mother with the remark.

been turned out!"—Cleveland Plain

Arclirr) In n City's Street*.
The military students of Tung-Chon
are n conspicuous nuisance. They have
n way of using my of the main streets
in tlie city as a convenient spot for
practicing archery, and we have been
repeatedly obliged to edge up to tho ex
treme edge of tlie footpath to avoid
possible eccentric flights of arrows.
Characteristically it never occurs to
them to suspend operations for others’
safety of convenience, and minor acci
dents must not be uncommon.
A 1ml was brought to tlie hospital tlie
other day who had been struck by all
arrow just below the eye ns lie was edg
ing along the highway. ■ He was not
badly hurt and probably regarded liis
injury as incidental to the ordinary
risks of travel oil city streets.—North

Teach the Children_to Play.
Ladies' Home Journal. ~ _
If mothers would take the time
they spend in telling their children to
“run away," or “not to do that,” or
to “leave that alone,” in showing their
children how to play and what to play
with, they would And the results not
only astounding but gratifying. Ten
minutes’ instruction in a new play or
occupation would mean hours of quiet
and happy pleasure for the children
and rest and freedom for the mother.
Play is the child’s work, and iie should
early be shown the way to make the
best use of it. More grows out of
play than we are apt to realize. If
the nursery is untidy the future
mother’s house or father’s office will
be the same. If the play is destruc
tive, and results in the mutilation of
piany toys, the little men and women
will be careless of beautiful books,
pictures and bric-a-brac in later
years. Teach them how to play
properly and they will soon learn how
to work properly.

“May good diges
tion wait on appetite

That sentence from Slinkespeare is a
genuine benediction of the body. In this
is in so many other things the intuition of

to have fath

has slowly
discovered.
Science has
shown that
disease in any
part of the
body is a 1-
most always
accompanied
by weakness
and failure of
the digestive
and assimila
tive o r g a n s.
I' n d e r these
conditions tlie
stomach, liver
and blood-
making
glands fail in
their appoint-
edwork. Then
the symptoms
of disease appear, often in organs appar
ently remote from the real cause. Vitality
is lowered. There is a dull and sluggish
feeling often accompanied by headache.
The heart may seem affected. There may
he lack of ambition and energy with mental
irresolution. With such symptoms as these
"delay is dangerous.” Such a condition
affords the favorite starting point for con
sumption. It is useless to " doctor ” for the
symptoms. The remedy that reaches the
case must reach the cause of disease. The
greatest medicine for all diseases of the
stomach and other digestive and nutritive
organs is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery. It restores the appetite, re-estab
lishes a sound digestion, purges out the
bilious poisons which infect the blood, car
ries off waste and builds up sound and
healthy tissues. The " Discovery ” is not ;i
stimulant. It contains no alcohol or whisky.
No other medicine has so great a record of
cures, therefore accept no substitute.
