Instances are common enough in elections when a single vote turns the scale, but for that vote to decide not only the fate of a candidate, but of a party as well, is rare, Yet a majori- ty of one in parliament, which may logically depend on a majority of one in the country, has worked some of the most momentous results possible. The classical example is the act of union of 1799, certainly among the largest, most important and most remarkable changes ever accomplished by a legis- lative body. One hundred and six voted for it and 105 agaiist. Then a majority of one carried the great re- form Dbill in 1832. Majorities only a little bigger have again and again been responsible for farreaching consequences. A majori- ty of five threw out the Melbourne government in 1839, By the same fig- ure Lord John Russell’s government was defeated in 1866. Gladstone went out of office in 1873 because he lacked three votes, and the public education act, one of the most important ever passed, was placed on the statute book by a majority of two.—London Chronlcle. Wild Dogs of Asia. The whole tribe of wild dogs, which in closely allied forms are to be found in the wildest jungles and woods of Asia, from the Himalayas to Ceylon and from China to the Taurus—unless the “‘golden wolves” of the Roman em- pire are now extinct in the forests of Asla Minor—show an individual and corporate courage which entitles them to a high place among the most dar- 1ng of wild creatures. The “red dogs,” to give them their most characteristic name, are neither large in size nor do they assemble in large packs. Those which have been from time to time measured and described seem to aver- age some three feet in length from the nose to the root of the tail. The pack seldom numbers more than nine or ten, yet there is-sufficient evidence that they are willing and able to destroy any creature that inhabits the jungle, except the adult elephant and perhaps the rhinoceros, creatures whose great size and leathery hide make them al- most invulnerable to such enemies as dogs.—London Spectator. London’s Big Ben. Why is the large bell in the tower of the house of parliament in London called Big Ben? The average London- er himself seems to have no idea how it got its name. When the building was designed Sir Benjamin Hall had a great deal to do with carrying out the plans of the architects, being high commissioner of public works, and his coworkeis appreciated the fact that to him the city of London was largely in- debted. So when the question came up in parilament as to the name of the enormous bell that was to be hung in the tower a member shouted, “Why not call it Big Ben?” This suggestion wag received with much applause as well as with roars of laughter, for Sir Benjamin was an enormous man, both in height and girth, and had often been called Big Ben. From that day, on the bell whose peal every Londoner knows has been known only as Big Ben.—Harper’s Weekly. Mighty In Titles. The ruler of Turkey, in addition to the titles sultan and kha-khan (high prince and lord of lords), also claims sovereignty over most districts, towus, cities and states in the orient, specify- Ing each by name and setting out in each of his various titles “all the forts, citadels, purlieus and neighborhood thereof” in regular legal form. His of- ficial designation ends, “‘Sovereign also of diverse nations, states, peoples and races on the Zace of the earth.” All this is in addition to his high position as “head of the faithful” and “su- preme lord of all the followers of the prophet,” *direct and only lieutenant on earth of Mohzmmed.” LOST and FOUND FOUND—A lady’s hankerchief and pair of silk gloves at the Armory.

CASABLANCA IS FLOODED / Residents of Town Across the Harbor From Havana Compelled to Take Refuge in the Hills—Wire Communi- cation With the Interior Interrupted and Conditions There Are Unknown. Havana, Oct. 18.—The cyclone that struck the island Sunday is increasing. Its velocity is appalling. Beyond doubt it is more serious than the hur- ricane of 1906, which cost many lives and damage to the amount of millions of dollars. The sea before noon had swept the customshouse sheds for a distance of half a mile and was carrying off mer- caandise valued at hundreds of thou- sands of dollars. The gale unroofed the main customs- house warehouse and the contents of the building were drenched. This building contains the most valuable goods in the harbor. The coal hoist of the Havana Coal company at Casablanca, across the harbor and a mile from Morro castle, has been wrecked. Casablanca is flooded and the resi- dents are taking refuge in the hills behind the town. A number of sailing craft are dragging their anchors and are in imminent danger of being blown out to sea. The dredge which has been working alongside the battleship Maine broke from her moorings and has been car- ried out to sea. The dredge has on board the foremast, chains and other relics from the American warship. - All communication with outside ports has been hopelessly severed. The national observatory reports that the disturbance is only beginning and will last probably for twenty hours. No News From the Outside. Wire communication with the inter- for is cut off and the situation outside this city is in doubt. The town of Batabano is said to be under water to a depth of many feet. A large number of lives have been lost there, accord- ing to reports. A report from Regla, across the har- bor, says many persons have been killed there. It is rumored that a great number of sailors and longshoremen have been drowned in the harbor. It is probable the most fatalities and the greatest monetary damage has been done in Pinar del Rio, where the destruction of Thursday and Friday has been add- ed to greatly, it is believed. The su- gar cane crop is thought to have suf- fered severely. The gale came from the south south- west with terrible violence. Rain fell in torrents throughout the night, but let up somewhat at daybreak, though the wind held as strong as ever. All traffic in this city and in the har- bor is suspended. Scores of lighters and other small craft have been wrecked. All vessels in the port are double anchored. The steamers are under steam. The Ward line steamer Sara- toga, which was due to sail on Satur- day, remained stormbound. STORM CAUSES L0SS OF LIFE Heavy Property Damage on the Island of Jamaica. Kingston, Jamaica, Oct. 18.—A hur- ricane which passed over the Cayman islands last week caused great devas- tation, according to reports which reached here by the steamer Prinz Eitel Frederich. For twenty hours the wind blew at the rate of eighty miles an hour. The property loss is said to have been heavy and there was some loss of life. Storm Warnings Issuad. Tampa, Fla., Oct. 18.—After wander- ing aimlessly around in the gulf of Mexico for forty-eight hours the West Indian storm has again recurved and is now headed toward Louisiana and Texas, according to the latest observa- tions. Storm warnings have been or- dered up all along the Louisiana coast. RATE DECISION -TO STAND United States Supreme Court Refuses a Rehearing. ‘Washington,” Oct. 18.—A rehearing of the Missouri river rate cases was refused by the supreme court. As a result the order of the inter- state commerce commission reducing the class rates between Mississippi river crossings and ‘Missouri river cities on freight originating at Atlan- tic seaboard points will go into effect. Rehearing in the so called Denver rate case was also refused by the su- preme court. This action will allow the order of the interstate commerce commission reducing freight rates on class articles from Chicago and St Louis to Denver to go into effect. ‘OPERATOR WAS RESPONSIBLE Five. Persons 'Killed and Seventeen Others Injured. Augusta, Ga., Oct. 18.—It is prob- able that the railroad operator of the Charleston and Western Carolina at McCormick, S. C., will be arrested fol- lowing a wreck in which five persons were killed and seventeen injured. Two passenger trains collided at full speed two miles south of McCor- mick. All the dead and seven of the injured were trainmen. After the wreck, it is said, the op- ‘erator at McCormick wired that he was so busy selling tickets that he MANY LIVES ARE [ernv tssues sTatewenr forgot the signal to stop the south- bound train for orders, ays Steel Magnates Met as a Social Gathering, New York, Oct. 18.—Judge E. H. ary has issued a statement regard- ing the meetings of the American Iron and Steel institute which were held here last week with representatives from the big steel manufacturers of the United States and Europe in at- tendance. He says: “No private business was transact- ed at the meetings. No international business agreement was made, whether binding or otherwise. It was merely an occasion- when the foreign steel men met the domestic manufac- turers and sat” down to discuss mat- ters of business. We told them what business we were doing and what prices we are charging and they met us with equal frankness. “We met as a social gathering to talk over our business affairs in a friendly fashion. It is just as if three or four of the leading monarchs of the world had come together to dis- cuss the affairs of their respective na- tions with a view to friendly relations, but without the power to enter upon binding treaties.” FIRST OF WORLD'S SERIES Philadelphia Easily Defeats Chicago “Cubs.” Philadelphia, Oct. 18.—In the first game ot the world’s championship baseball series Philadelphia defeated Chicago by a score of 4 to 1 in the presence of 30,000 excited fans. The score by innings follows: ) Philadelphia .... Chicago .... MARCONI CALLS GET NO ANSWER Nothing Received From the Wellman Airship. SPEEDING ON HIS. WAY Believed Aeronaut Has Completed at Least a Quarter of the Distance Be- tween the United States and His Destination on the Irish Coast—Ar- riving Steamers Report Not Seeing Big Dirigible. Siasconset, Mass., Oct. 18.—The Marconi wireless station here has spoken a number of steamers and was in communication with the Finland, bound for New York, but none of the steamers has seen or heard anything of the airship America, which is be- lieved to be'headed in the direction of Ireland and which must be several huncred miles out at sea. The Finland reports that a heavy storm occurred early Sunday evening, with vivid flashes of lightning and a heavy downpour of rain. At 9 p. m. the weather cleared and light norther- ly winds set in. Since that time the weather has been clear and the sea smooth. The steamers Minnetonka, Cedric, La Gascogne, Kroonland, Ryndam, Main and Niagara also were spoken, but none of them had any word of the airship. New York, Oct. 18.—Somewhere be- tween Siasconset and Sandy Hook the liner Arabic, which arrived here early in the morning, must have passed Walter Wellman's airship America, sailing rapidly eastward through the fog. But, though a sharp lookout was kept for the big balloon and though the liner’s wireless operator was listening alertly for the “W” code sig- nal of the airship, not a sign .of her was seen or heard. From the Siascon- set wireless station details of the start and copies of messages sent landward by the aerial voyagers had informed the officers and passengers of the Ara- bic early on Sunday that the new ocean going airship was likely to cross their path during the day and every- body was on deck, eager to catch a view of her through a lucky rift in the fog cloud, or, if no rift came, to hear the throb of her engines as she passed. The Arabic is the first of about a dozen incoming ships whose course must have crossed that.of the Amer- ica during the past twenty-four hours. It is regarded as unlikely that any of them saw the balloon or heard the engines, for the fog which hung per sistently all day must have prevented any sighting of the Wellman craft, while dispatches from Siasconset indi- cate that the engines were silent for much of the time, while the balloon drifted before a twenty-five-knot breeze toward her destination.* At sunrise Wellman had -afready covered about a fourth of the distance to Ireland, according to computations and probabiliTies as figured by balloon experts here. From Atlantic City to the nearest point on the coast of Tre- land is about 2,800 miles. SIX DEAD; MANY WOUNDED Serious Election Riots Take Place in _ Guadeloupe.

JULIA WARD HOWE S DEAD Famous Authoress Expires at Rhode Island Home. NINETY-ONE . YEARS OLD Demise Caused by Heart Failure Re- sulting From Advanced Age and a Severe Cold Recently Contracted. Was a Prolific Writer, but Was Best Known as Author of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Middletown, R. I, Oct. 18.-~Mrs. Julia Ward Howe is dead at her sum- mer home here. The three daughters of the aged au- thoress, Mrs. Florence Howe Hall, Mrs. Laura Richards and Mrs. John Elliott, were gathered about the bed- side of their mother when the end came.

During her many years of activity in various fields Mrs. Howe pub lished more than a dozen volumes, in- cluding books of pocms, travel, remi niscences and views of life and men Although Mrs. Howe's achievements in any one of a number of fields ot activity have been suflicient to bring her worldwide fame it is as the au- thor of the inspired lines of “The Bat tle Hymn of the Republic” that she is most intimately known to the people of her own and other lands. Julia Ward Howe was the daughter of Samuel and Julia Rush and was born May 27, 1819. She married Dr. Samuel Fridley Howe, the eminent philanthropist, in 1843. He died in 1876.

One Dead; Five Narrowly Escape. New Salem, N. D, Oct. 18—By the caving in of a poorly protected lignite coal mine shaft on the McCormick property near Blue Grass, this county, Fritz Grittel ~was instantly killed, while five other men had a narrow escape from a similar fate. The men were engaged in mining, and all but Grittel had left the shaft just before the cave-in took plice. ‘T IS so much better the other stove polishes that it's in a class all by itself.
