Extra Election Gazette.
'lhe-EvnNING GAZETTE will issue an
EXTRA at daylight to-morrow morning,
giving the fullest possible election
news obtainable of every state in the
Union,as well as Norwalk and surround-
ing towns.
Special arrangements have been made
whereby the Gaznrrn’s news will be
received direct from headquarters in
New York and will be authentic.
The EXTRA will surpass anything ever
attempted in Norwalk and will be issued
hours before the regular edition of the
New York papers reach Norwalk and
will contain the latest dispatches.
In addition to election news the
Exrnl will contain columns of new
advertisements of live merchants who
have taken advantage of the intense
interest in the election to place before
. the readers of the GAZETTE a special
wnouncement of their business.

Duty Done.
Most electors have already voted. It
ill to be believed that mostof them cast
their ballots against National repudia—
tion and anarchist a siults on the ,Na-
tion’s great bulwa: l, he U. 8. Supreme
Court. .
The Atgelds, Debse’s‘ and Tillmans
have run a campaign of hate, rancor
and bitterness against the educated,
the thriiy and, the successful. To-day
there is no place in the land to which
any citizen may not aspire if he has the
right sort of character and ability.
But if success means. that a man be-
comes the target of all who have been
less prosperous; lithe doctrine of Bryan
and Atgeld be accepted; if the finger
of scorn is to be pointed at every wor k-
ingman as soon as he rises to be an em-
ployer, what incentive will any have to
improve his condition?
Four years ago the democratic party
went into the Presidential struggle un-
der its own colors, with a tried leader,
with a host of honored chieftains and
with a principle worth fighting for,says
the always democratic Herald. Now
men have hoisted the black flag over
the democratic craft and are steering it
to destruction, yet they have the brazen
impudence and folly to claim that they
are the only true democrats and patriots
and thlt all who oppose their reckless
experiments are plutocrats and oppres-
scrs.
It is to be presumed that every man
who wishel to reieive an honest dollar
for hispay and to pay an honest dollar
on his debts, voted to-day for'honest
lunacy.
Th ll; every man who is opposed to the
supremaly of demagogues voted for
tried leaders and honest money.
That every man who belie res in home
and country, voted for the enforcement
of the laws.
That every man who wishes prosperi-
ty, vot 3d for a sound financial system.
That if there is any man who opposes
all of these things, he voted for Bryan.

considerable severity.
“Och, mum,” replied her man-of—all-

not be sayin’ that the craychure didn’t
schlip me moind, jist fer the toime
bein’. mum; but, anyway, he was no

“And why not?" demanded Mrs.
James.
“Why, mum,” said Patrick, shifting
his weight carelessly from one foot
to member. “Farmer Laurie made a
great p’int of the craychure bein’

EMBARRASSMENT OF THE SMITHS.
Some Funny Social Complications in
Washington Circles.
It is emphatically true that'Wash-
ington society is funnier than fiction,
though there is a great deal of story-
telling about high officials that passes
for fact without any good reason. Mrs.
Hoke Smith, however, can tell some
absolutely true incidents which are
funny enoughto have been made to
order. She appreciates the humorous
side of life, and her way of telling a
story adds to it irresistibly.
One concerns a lady by the name of
ington and received a great deal of
attention. Soon after her arrival she
attended Mrs. Hoke Smith’s reception,
and the wife in turn attended hers.
room it was evident that none of the
receiving party recognized her, and
by the way of introducing herself she
stepped up to one of the ladies and
mentioned her own name:
“Mrs. Hoke Smith."
The hostess took it for an inquiry,
and her reply was tart in the ex-
treme. She remarked that she was
not Mrs. Hoke Smith, and had been
regretting that her name was Smith at .
all, because during her stay she had
been mistaken for the wife of the Sec-
retary of the Interior 3. dozen times
a day, and shown making it her
object in life to make people under-
stand that Secretary Smith was not l
her husband. I
Mrs. Hoke Smith admits that she
had hard work to keep her temper,
but her sense of the ludicrous came
to the rescue, and she said very sweet-
ly that she was glad to hear, “be-
cause,” she added, “the Secretary of
the Interior is my husband, and it
would be extremely embarrassing if
he were yours also.”
Apologies, explanations, and laugh-
ter followed, but, although Mrs. Hoke
Smith was very pleasant and, good-
humored about it, the other lady diil
not return the call, and the acquaint-
ance lapsed. But that wasn’t the end ,
of it. Months afterward, and lately
Mrs. Hoke Smith met another Mrs. .
Smith at the house of a. friend, and in
the course of the conversation story-
telling began, and Mrs. Hoke Smith
told this story. The next development
was that the lady to whom she was
telling it was the heroine of it, Mrs.
Hoke Smith having forgotten her face,
It seemed to be a case of “too much
Smith.”

Some years ago a young Irishman
was hunting for work among the far-
mers of a western town at‘harvest
time.
He made his application to a benev-
olent looking farmer, who was at:
tracted by the young man’s frank“
merry face, but who was not’really:
in need of extra help. ":
“Can you cradle?” he asked, after]
a moment’s hesitation. ‘
“Cradle is it?’ ’repeated the young
Irishman in bewilderment. “That Oi,
can,,sorr, bein’ the owldest of elivin
childer; but,” he added, persuasively,
“can't yez give me a job out av dures,
3011'?”
Got \Vhat He Asked For.‘ .
A tramp came tumbling out of a
store, stood on his ear for a. moment,
and then collapsed in a heap.
“Hello!” cried a bystander. “What’s
the matter?”
“Excuse me, pard,” said the v3.-
grant; “I just went in there and asked
that teller to help me out.”—-Philadel~
