missioner, Auditor and !
'.- i ''Police Judge and i "i
Treasurer.
The city election is passing off quiet
' ly today, although there is much Inter
est manifested in the contest. A heavy
vote is being polled, and men who are
supposed to have accurate ideas of such
things said late this afternoon that the
total would probably reach 1400. .
A remarkable feature of the election
ia the small number of voters being
worn in. Precinct No. 1 led In this
respect at 2:30 this afternoon, with 10,
whlletonly four were sworn in at No. 2.
At No. $ seven or eight were sworn in,
and at No. 4 only five or six. ,In the
Eest End precincts little more than a
dozen voters had been put through the
formality. : f v,
Interest in today's contest centers
around the fight for the offices of po
lice commissionershlp, treasurer (and
auditor and police judge. The friends
of the candidates for these offices have
been working hard and there wasl no
lack of interest among them. ;
There is also much intrest in the al
dermanic contests, but generally the
flght seems to have centered around1 the
police commissionershlp. Republicans
said their candidates were polling the
full party strength and seemed confi
dent of the outcome.
At 2:30 o'clok the total vote cast in
the city was 822, out of a totaj registra
tion of 1430. There were 608 votes yet
to be cast at that hour. The showing
at 2:30 Indicated a heavy vote, for there
are many laboring men who had not
then gone to the polls. The heavy vote
will be cast late in the afternoon, when
th efactory employes finish work. Re
publicans and democrats expressed the
opinion that the number of votes would
come up to the number of registra
tions. The vote at 2:80 in the several
polling places, as compared with the
registration,, was as follows:
Vote
Precinct No. 1..... 125
Precinct No. 2 ...140
Precinct No. 3 200
Precinct No. 4.... ..,.176

A Clever E.earc
Prince Lotus Napoleon, afterward Na
poleon III; effected his escape from
. Ham in 1848 In s singular manner. He
'was imprisoned for his attempts
against the French government, made
at Boulogne In 1840. At 7 o'clock one
morning the prince, having shaved his
mustache and 'thrown' a blouse" and
workingman's trousers over his own
clothes and wearing wooden shoes,
quietly walked out of the prison, carry
ing a bookshelf over bis shoulder to
complete his disguise. He was taken
to be one of the painters then at work
.In the prison and was passed by sev
eral persons. A carriage was waiting
In the neighborhood, and by 8 o'clock
in th" afternoon he was at Valenciennes,
where he .took a train to -Brussels,
and he arrived In London two days
later.. Meanwhile in the prison Dr.
Conueau, the prince's physician, bad
placed a dummy in the prince's bed and
told the governor that the prince was
confined to bis room by illness. This
satisfied the governor until 7 o'clock in
the evening, when be insisted on seeing
the prince and discovered the fraud.
By this time, of course, the prince was
over the frontier. Dr. Conneau got off
with three months of prison. Within
thirty-one ninths Prince Napoleon was
the first president of a French republic,
supplanting King Louis Philippe, who
had abdicated.

" Bedotaloa and Water. ;
It is not unusual to hear a Bedouin
upon reaching a camp where Water is
offered him refuse if with the re
mark, "I drank only yesterday." On
the Bedouins' long marches across dry
countries the size of the water skins Is
nicely calculated to Just outlast the
Journey, and they rarely allow them
selves to break the habit of abstemi
ousness, as this would be sure to make
their next water fast all the harder.
They are accustomed from Infancy to
regard water as a most precious com
modity and use it with religious econ
omy. , Thc'y know every hollow and
nook In the mountains where water
may be found. Their camels and goats,
which they take with them on their
marches to supply them with milk
and meat, live principally on the
scanty herbage and foliage of the
thorny mimosa.1 Neither men nor ani
mals drink more than once in forty-
eight hours. No wonder they can sub
sist where invaders quickly perish. i

' Rats and Their Food.
The cnnacltv of rats for discovering
fresh stores of food Is astounding and
often leads to those united migratory
movements that periodically create
alarm and are described as "plagues
nf rata" Thpau srreat movements are
undoubtedly initiated and "personally
conducted" by old and experienced
rats, the aldermen of the colony, at
once a proof of highly developed In
telligence and unselfishness. Rats in
large centers of industry, if not pres
ent in commercial plague form, do a
great deal of good as consumers of
garbage that would otherwise become
a perilous nuisance. It is also a popular
delusion that a rat bite is unusually
dangerous from this fact of sewer
garbage eating. On the contrary, rats
cut as clean as a new lancet. Pall Mall

When Ellru Terry was a little girl
about ten years old she played Puck in
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" and
bad to make her appearance through
the stage floor on 0 trapdoor. The trap
door was shut too soon, aud one of the
child's feat was caught.. She screamed
with pain, and Mrs. Charles Kean
whispered to her:, , "Be a brave girl.
Nellie. , Finish your part, and you shall
play Arthur In 'King John.' " The
trapdoor by this time was opened, but
the child's toe was broken. She, how
ever, plucklly pulled herself together
and finished her speech.
