THE EVEE1M'c. GA ETT e L ' ,..—— . ....-_.— ~ ”M-_--' MRS. HARRIET B EGHER srows. Her Personal Appearance Was Not Faith fully Shown by Her Pictures. Mrs. James T. Field says, in an arti- cle in the Atlantic, that Mrs. Stowe’s personal appearance has received scant justice and no mercy at the hands 0: the photographer. She says herseli during her triumphal visit to Englanc‘ afterthe- publication of “Uncle Tom:’ The general topic of remark on meet ing me seems to be that I am not st bad looking as they were afraid I was; and I do assure you, when I have seen the things that are put up in ‘the sho; windows here with my name undel them. I have been lost in wondering imagination at the boundless loving kindness of my English and Scottish friends in keeping up such a warm heart for such a gorgon. I should think that the Sphinx in the London Museum might have sat for most 01 them. of these portraits to bring home to you. There is a great variety of them, and they will be useful, like the Irishman’s guideboard, which showed ‘where the road did not go.’ ” I. remember once accompanying he: to a reception at a well-known house in Boston, where, before the evening was over, the hostess drew me aside, saying: “Why did you never tell me lint Mrs. Stowe was beautiful?” And, ir deed, when I observed her in the full ardor of conversation, with her heigh- tened color, her eyes shining and awake, but filled with great softness. her abundant curling hair rippling nat- urally about her head and falling a lit tie at the sides (as in the portrait by Richmond), I quite agreed with my hostess. Nor was that the first time her beauty had been revealed to me, but she was seldom seen to be beautiful ‘by the great world, and the pleasure of this recognition was very great tc those who loved her. PRAYING BY MACHINERY. The People of Thibet Make Devotional Exercises an Easy Performance. . Thibet is no longer the unknown country it once was. Recent travellers have pentrated to its most remote fast masses, and in doing so have confirmed what had been looked on as myths oi the earlier visitors. One 'of the most curious habits they find in use in this most curious of all semi- civilized coun. tries is that of praying by machinery. Small wooden drums are set up with prayers inscribed on them. They are fixed on a pivot, and whirling them with the finger is looked. upon as say- ing the mystical prayer “0m Mani Pad- mi 0m, ” with which they are generally inscribed. Another sort of prayer machine can be held in the hand and made to re volve very rapidly. This is for wot. shippers of unusual jervpr. The de- mands of the more leisurely class of de- votees are met by wheels worked by wind or water power.—New Yorli ,World. 1 '7: . An Unfair Advantage. D'r. Lasker, the great chessplayer, 'when in London, is in the habit of cor casionally visiting a certain restauran in the city well known to many chest devotees. On one of these occasion: just prior to his departure for St. Pe< terburg, to play Dr. Steinitz for the championship, a fussy old gentleman ottered to play him for a box of cigars ' if he would concede him the odds of a queen. The offer was good—naturedly ac- cepted; and on Lasker’s winning he be. came the recipient of a box of doubtful- looking cigars, which, however, the donor averred were of good quality. On visiting the same restaurant, af- ter easily defeating Steinetz. Issuer happened to meet his late opponent, who asked him what he had thought 01 the cigars. “First-rate!” replied the champion; "in fact, I might almost say they won me the match. ” “Indeed! I am delighted to hear it!" returned the old gentleman, much pleased. “Yes, " continued Lasker, with a mer: 11y twinkle in his eye, “I gave them all to. Steinitz! ".—From Answers. Much Too Good Nutnred. “My wife has the most exasperating temper, ” said the wiry little man. ,_ “I am surprised to hear it, ” said the other man. “I had the impression that she was very good natured.” “That’s just what’s the matter with her. She Won’t get mad when she ought to. The other morning I went to the hydrant to get a drink and the water was almost thick enough to . carv‘e. And I began saying things. ‘Ne 'e1 mind, dearie,’ said she. ‘Jusl think how nice it will be to scour the tinware with.’ ”—-—Indianapolis Journal. He Received Free Transportation. A certain steamboat line running out of Port Huron, 'Mich., has a standing rule that clergymen and Indians can travel on its boats for half fare. 'The other day the agent of the. line was, npprOached by a man who asked free transportation. When the agent de- murred, the man explained that he was an Indian preacher, thus being en- titled to one-half , rebate because he was an Indian, and the other half be. cause he was a clergyman. He got it. A Good Thing to Remember. We are ruined, not by what he really want, but by what we think we do; therefore, never go abroad in search of your wants. If they be real wants, they will come home in search of you; for he that buys what he does 'no-t want, will soon want what he cannot buy.—-—Colton. “Are men marrying less?" asks a Boston contemporary.

Platt‘ Receives Returns. New York, Nov. 3.-—Senator Platt, Chairman Hackett, of the Republican State Committee, and Representative Quigg. chairman of the Republican City Campaigners, were not at all daunted by the defeat of the Republi- can cause. Representativg Quigg re— ceived the returns at Republican city headquarters, 1 Madison avenue, early in the evening, and then joined Senator Platt and Chairman Hackett at the Fifth Avenue. Hotel. Luther Little, chief of the literary bureau of the Re- publican State Commmittee, read off theireturns. They told of the exceed- ingly light vote in the country districts for United States Circuit Court Judge William J. Wallace, the Republican candidate for Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, and a. smashing Demo- cratic vote below the Bronx for Su- preme Court Justice Alton B. Parker, the Democratic candidate. The heavy vote for Justice Parker in Greater New York is due largely to the fact that he headed both the Tammany and the Ship Democracy’s ticket, and it should be recalled that the Ship De- mocracy’s ticket was filled out with the Citizens’ Union ticket, headed by Seth Low for Mayor. The great slump in Henry George’s vote was predicted from the hour Henry George, Sr., passed away. Detroit’s Mayor lie-Elected. Detroit, “Mich” Nov. 3.—William C. Maybury, the present Mayor of Detroit, who was elected last Spring on the Democratic silver ticket by about 500 plurality, was re-elected for a full term of two years by a plurality closely ap- proximating 1, 800. National politics did not cut any figure in the election, as Mr Maybury absolutely refused to ex~ press any views on the silver question or the Chicago platform and main- tained all through his campaign that it was simply a question of local issue. London Comments. London, Nov. 3.—The Chronicle, com- menting on the result of the Mayoralty contest in New York, says that the election of Van Wyck is a deep source of anxiety and disappointment. Continuing, it says that it had hoped that New York would have risen to the great opportunity and shown Eu- rope that a pure, progressive democ- racy was a “possibility. Their over- throw ought to stimulate the reformers to greater activity. Candidate in Virginia Dies. Richmond, Va., Nov. 3.—Col. James Cohcrane, the Republican candidate for State Senator from the Ninth District, was stricken with apoplexy yesterday morning. He died in a few moments. He had ordered his buggy to go to the polls, and while waiting for it he was stricken. Senator Platt Voted in Oswego. Oswego, Nov. 3.—Senator Platt came to Oswego on Sunday night. He voted before 9 o’clock in District 5, oppo- site A. H. Wag's house, where he boards when here. He was in the booth such a short time that he must have voted a straight ticket. Warner Elected Mayor of Rochester. Rochester, Nov. 3.——-Monroe County gives Wallace, for Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, 5,500 plurality. Roch- ester City elects George E. Warner Mayor by the combined vote of the Good Government and Democratic par- ties. Cecil Rhodes Reported Dead. London, Nov. 3.-—It was reported on the Stock Exchange that Cecil Rhodes was dead, and South African securities were flat in consequence. The secretary of the British Char— tered South African Company ex- pressed the opinion that there was no truth in the report. NEWS IN BRIEF.
