WHOLESALE FRAUDS IN LOUISIANA

ifornia, and Evans Is Klected
In Tennessee.
New York, Nov. 10. The election of
Hall, democrat, in the second Missouri
congressional district, and of Downing,
in the sixteenth Illinois district, give the
democrats two more congressmen than
they apparently had yesterday. These
changes make the status of the parties
in the fifty-fourth congress :
Republican, 243; democratic, 102 ;
populist, 11.
Fraud in Louisiana. .
Washington, Nov. 10. Chairman
Babcock, of the republican congressional
campaign committee, today received the
following letter from D. E. Ferris, secre
tary of the republican state committee
of Louisiana:
"As I wired you in regard to the elec
tion, I desire to eay that we have taken
such steps as are necessary, and are ac
tively engaged in taking depositions be
fore notaries public on all cases of intim
idation, fraud and violence, which oc
curred election day, and are prepared to
present an impregnable case to the fifty
fourth congress as to the seating of our
congressmen. Never in the history of
the worst days of fraud in Louisiana have
they gone so far. The democrats are ad
mitting openly that they overdid the
thing, and also openly admit that Meyer,
Buck and Pierce will not be seated, but
that our congressmen will be.
Bndd Leads, But Delayed Returns May
.. Change the Totals.
Sxn Fsancisco, Nov. 10. Complete
returns from 2,084 precincts in a ".total of
2,274 precincts in California give : Es
tee, 106,000; Budd, 106,706; Budd's
plurality, 757.
The San Francisco vote, as collected
hv the local newspapers bnrean, which
gave Budd a plurality of 11,229, is in
cluded in these figures. Counting
Budd's plurality in this city 11,703, as
claimed by the democratic state central
committee, his net plurality in the state
at large is 1,234, with 190 precincts to
hear from. When asked abont the
talked-of possibility of a contested elec
tion, with the decision left to a commit
tee of the legislature, Chairman Gould,
of .the democratic committee, said he
had not heard of any such proposal,
adding :
"I do not think that the republican
managers would dare to attempt to de
feat the popular will by any such
scheme," ' . ''.
Dispatches received at democratic
headquarter today gave Estee's plurality
in Humboldt county as 500, instead of
600,, previously reported, and Sonoma
county as 383, instead of 483.

Another Bond Issue.
Washington, Nov. 10. There are
strong indications that another issue of
bonds -will be made during the coming
week. For some time past the convic
tion has been growing upon the presi
dent that an issue of another $50,000,000
would seem to be necessary, and on his
return fromBuzzard's Bay he expressed
to the members of his cabinet his be
lief that the issue could not long be de
layed, and that the sooner it was made
the better. He saw the treasury re
ceipts constantly growing less, with no
immediate prospect of any favorable
change. Secretary Carlisle, it is under
stood, took a more cheerful view. He
argued that the receipts from internal
revenue and customs must of a neces
sity soon show a marked increase ; - that
the supply of whisky, which -was with
drawn from bond just previous to the
passage of the new tariff act, to avoid
the payment of the additional 20 cents
per gallon, would very soon be exhaust
ed, and that the demands of trade would
result in largely-increased revenues from
this source. He held that what was
true of the internal revenue was equally
true of the customs. Juet before the
tariff act went into operation the with
drawal from bond of goods of every de
scription was abnormally large. This
Bupply, he said, had been exhausted, or
nearly so, and it was the confident ex
pectation of the secretary that the pres
ent revival of trade would soon remove
any necessity lor further issue of bonds.
Dp to thid time there had been no signs
of any important withdrawals of gold
for export, and. it was his opinion that
the emergency might be passed success
fully without increasing the public debt.
He argued, too, that his experience in
placing the last issue had taught him
that the issue of another $50,000,000
might fall, far short of recouping the gold
reserve by that amount. The secretary
maintained that it was an easy matter
to deposit legal tenders at the subtreas
uries and demand gold with which to
pay for the bonds. This evasion of the
spirit of law authorizing the issue of the
bonds was several times detected dur
ing the setttlements of the last issue,
and he feared it might be practiced
again. The president, however, thought'
that all tilings considered, he preferred
not to wait until congress assembled in
December, when measures might be
taken to obstruct the issue. In his
opinion the situation demanded the is
sue, and there should be no unnecessary
delay in the matter.
At the request of the president, Sec
retary Carlisle joined him at Woodley
this afternoon, and at. a late hour bad
not returned to the city. Persons in a
position to know "believe that the issue
will be officially announced before the
close of the coming week. ,

THE INDISPENSABLE NAPKIN.
It Was First ITsed Only by liilirn and
wi';J .!i; " SratiWd'lij' U'.asrj. -,-.
Curiously enough that article now
considered almost indispensable, the
table napkin, was first used only by
children, says the Youth's Companion,
and was only adopted by elder members
of the family about the- middle of the.
fifteenth. Century. -In etiquette -books
of an earlier date than this, among
other sage pieces of advice for children,
are instructions about wiping1 their
fing-ers and lips with their napkins.
It seems that the tablecloth was long
enough to reach the floor and served the
grown people in place of napkins. When
they did begin to use napkins they placed
them first on the shoulder, then on the
left arm, and finally tied them about the
neck. A French writer, who evidently
was conservative and did not welcome
the napkin kindly, records, with scorn:
"The napkin is placed under the chin
and fastened in the back, as if one were
going" to be shaved. A. person told me
that he wore his that way that he
might not soil bis beautiful frills."
It was a difficult . matter to : tie the
two corners in the back, and it is said
that thence originated our expression
for straitened circumstances: "Hard
to make both ends meet." This custom
led to the habit of the table waiters of
carrying a napkin on the left arm.
' ' Napkins became popular in France
sooner than in England. At one time
it was customary at great Faench din
ners to change the napkins at every
course, to perfume them with rose
water and to have them folded a differ
ent way for each guest.
About 1650 Pierre David published
the "Maistre - d'Hostel," - "which
teaches how to wait on a table proper
ly and how to fold all kinds of table
napkins in all kinds of shapes."
The shapes1 were: "Square, twisted,
folded in bands and in the forms of a
double and twisted shell, single shell,
double melon, single melon, cook, hen
and chickens, two chickens, pigeon in
a basket, partridge, pheasant, two
capons in a pie, hare, two rabbits, suck
ing pig,, dog with a collar,' pike, carp,
turbot, miter, turkey, tortoise, the holy
cross and the Lorraine cross."
WONDERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
Soap Babbles Photographed la the Act of
Bursting.
Electricity has been doing some pret
ty work in the photographing . of
drops of water, and Prof. C. V. Boys in
a recent lecture gave illustrations of
what had been accomplished, says the
Detroit Free Press. He first showed
photographs taken by the electric spark
of soap bubbles in the act of bursting,
and explained the process by which it
is possible to ascertain the respective
speed at which different soap bubbles
burst. ' One photograph showed an issue
of liquid from a very small pipe, which
to the naked eye appeared to be a per
fect stream, but which, on an electric
photograph being taken, was resolved
into a beautiful and regular series of
drops. In connection with this Prof.
Boys remarked that the science of
liquids and of the forces involved in the
phenomena of the surface of liquids
was one of the most interesting branch
es of physical science. The effect on a
fountain of playing or singing was to
change its appearance into one, two or
three apparently separate, clear streams
of liquid, but a photograph taken as a
tuning fork was struck demonstrated
that the water was disposed in drops in
perfect regularity. A picture of a rifle
bullet, passing through the air at the
rate of two. thousand feet a second, was
also exhibited. Prof. Boys,- however,
showed that if it were wished to inves
tigate what was really happening when
a rifle bullet: was being projected
through the air at the maximum possi
ble speed, it would be necessary to have
recourse to a method of illumination in
finitely more rapid r than the electric
spark. For this purpose a mirror of
steel,; about the size of a twenty-five
cent piece, is how used. .- It is so mount
ed as to revolve with: ease without get
ting hot at - the enormous speed of one
thousand times a second, and the end of
the beam of light given off from this
mirror passes across the screen at such
a rate that it enables photographs to be
taken in about one ten-millionth of a
second. ' '" -
I.a Grippe.
During the prevalence of the. grippe
the past seasons it was a noticeable fact
that those who depended upon Dr.
King's New Discovery, not only had a
speedy recovery, but escaped ail of the
troublesome after effects of the malady.
This remedy seems to have a peculiar
power in effecting rapid cures not only
in cases of la grippe, but in all diseases
of throat, chest and lungs, and has cured
cases of asthma and hay fever of long
standing. , Try it and be convinced. It
won't disappoint. Free trial bottles at
