GENERAL CRY OF FRAUD Both Liberals and Conservatives Charging the Other With Grossest Padding of the Polls—Opposition Still Hoping That the Liberal Ma- Jjority Will Be Considerably Reduced. London, Dec. 6.—Amid scenes of the greatest disorder and with serious riots reported in several places voting was resumed on'the third day of the general election. The disorders are particularly widespread in the indus- trial centers. Owing to tremendous rainfall of late the voting was conducted under a se- vere handicap. Floods held back the voters in many constituencies.” Sev- eral cases of drownings were reported. Never before in an English election has such a cry of fraud gone up as in the present voting. This is due to the fact that the voting is under the reg- istration of eighteen months ago. There have been thousands of deaths and removals since the registration and the opportunity is presented for much fraudulent voting and both the Liberals and Conservatives are charg- ing the other with the.grossest pad- ding of their polls. The groundwork is being laid for many contests. The Liberals went into the day’s contest with renewed courage. Their strong showing in London and Man- chester on Saturday gave them hope that they would still further increase their representation in the metropolis in seventeen boroughs where there were contests. There is no longer the slightest doubt that Liberals, with their Labor and Nationalist allies, will control the situation, but the Conservatives are still hoping that the government ma- jority may be so reduced that the king will not accede to the demand for the creation of Liberal peers and that a legislative deadlock can be effected on all questions on which there is the least division among the coalition parties. At the present time the results stand: Conservatives, €3; Liberals. 50; Laborites, 7; Irish Nationalists, 5 FORTY PERSONS ARE INJURED Collision on English Road Will Result in Several Deaths. London, Dec. 6.—Some forty persons were seriously injured, a number of them fatally, in a collision on the Lon- don Northwestern railroad at Willens- den Junction. The second section of a train from Watford plowed into the first section, which was standing at the junction. The train was occupied chiefly by clerks who were coming into their offices in the city. The three rear coaches of the stand- ing train were wrecked. " Many persons suffered broken limbs and there were several fractured skulls. In many instances the vic- tims were so pinned beneath the wreckage that there was difficulty in extricating them. NO SUCCESSOR TO BE NAMED Christian Science People Mourn Death of Mrs. Eddy. Boston, Dec. 6.—More than 1,000,000 followers of Mrs. Mary Baker G. BEddy accepted the news of her death in sor- row, but not a Christian Science lead- er in Boston would admit that the church organization has suffered a loss to its organization as such through Mrs. Eddy’s death. “By Mrs. Eddy’s demise we lose the counsel of our leader. As the church organization is complete as it stands .today and has stood -for some time it 48 perfectly well understood that no successor to Mrs. Eddy will be named,” was the statement of Alfred Farlow, head of the publicity department of the Christian Science organization. TO OPERATE ON CRIMINALS Surgeon Advocates Use of Knife in Certain Cases. Cincinnati, Dec. 6.—Dr. Benjamin Ricketts, one of the best known phy- sicians of the city, in a signed state-| ment advocates under certain condi- tions the subjecting of criminals to| surgical investigation. “Vivisection in both animals and man is essential for a more rapid progress in the science of medicine and surgery,” says Dr. Ricketts. “Criminals should be given an op- portunity to accept the right to sub- ject themselves to the hands of the experimenter, even though their lives may be in jeopardy. Their reward should be their liberty.” Tommy Burns Quits Ring. Seattle, Wash,, Dec. ' 6.—Tommy Burns, former heavyweight champion, pugilist, announced his permanent re- tirement from the prize ring in a let- ter received here. An injury to his knee, received in a game of la crosse some months ago, is given as his rea- son for retirlng. Burma’s Gilded Pagoda. Rangoon. the principal city of Burma, grew up around the sacred spot on which is built the great Shoay Dagon pagoda. one of its principal wonders. “Rising to a height of 360 feet, its size is greatly enhanced by the fact that it stands o .an eminence that is itself 166 feet above the level of the city." says a writer. *“It is covered with pure gold from base to summit, gnd once in every gencration this gold is complete- ly renewed by public subscription. Yet throughout the interval the process of regilding goes on perpetually. Pious people who seek in this way to express their veneration and fo add to their store of spiritual merit climb up daily with little fluttering packets of gold leaf. which they fasten on some frac- tion of its. great surface. There is no more picturesque sight’ offered by it than that of a group of these silken worshipers outlined high against its gold in the act of contributing their small quota to its splendor. .The pago- da itself has no interior. It is a solld stupa of brick raised over a relic chamber.” . Old Man of the Mountain. The title **Old Man of the Mountain” was first applied to Hassan Ben Sab- bal. who founded a formidable dynas- ty in Syria A. D. 1090. He was the prince or chief of the sect of the Mo- hammedans. Having been banished from his country, he took up his abode in Mouht Lebanon and gathered round him a band of followers, who soon be- came the terror alike of Christians, Jews and Turks. They paid the most implicit obedience to his commands and believed that if they sacrificed their lives for his sake they would be rewarded with the highest joys of paradise. For 200 years these “‘assas- sins,” as they called themselves, con- tinued to be the terror of the country. Whenever their chief, -the *Old Man of the Mountain,” considered himself injured he dispatched some of his as- sassins secretly to murder the aggres- sor. This is the origin of our use of the word assassin for a secret murderer. Serpents. and Music. Barnard concludes from his personal observation of cobras in Ceylon, says the Scientific American, that the ser- pent’s traditional love for music is a pure fable and that the only effect of music is to arouse the reptile’s curios- ity, which is excited by any loud and acute sound. The cobra protrudes its head from its burrow alike on hearing the snake charmer’s flute, the rattling of a chain or the sounds made by beating the ground with a switch. It appears to perceive only sounds of high pitch, for it pays no attention to the low notes of the flute or the beat- ing of the drum. Barnard also con- firmed in Ceylon the results of obser- vations made in the London zoological garden on the supposed power of fas- cination exerted by serpents upon birds, and he concludes that this pow- er of fascination is also purely imag- inary. ¥ Arms and the Men. “I see you have your arm in a sling,” sald the inquisitive passenger. “*‘Bro- ken, is it?” “Yes, sir,” responded the otber pas- senger. “Meet with an accident?” “No. Broke it while I was trying to, pat myself on the back.” “Great Scott! What for?” “For minding my own business.” “Insee. Never could happen to me. could it?” “No.» “And if it did 1 wouldn’t be hlnme fool enough to tell it.” Then there was silence in the car.— Chicago Tribune. The Change of a Name, How family names change in the coarse of many years is illustrated by the conversion of “Botevile” into “Thynne.” An English deed bearing date in the closing days of the fifteenth century shows three brothers then flourishing—John Botevile of Botevile and Thomas and William Botevile. The trio are distinguished from all oth- er Boteviles by the explanation *“‘of the Inne,” or family residence, the title to which had come to their joint posses- sion. John’s grandson was known as Ralph Botevile-of-the-Inne, from which the traunsition to Ralph Thyme is easy. His descendants have been Thynnes ever since. He Wanted Figs. At a small stag dinner the only young and unnoteworthy person pres- ent sat throughout the meal commun- ing with his own bashful soul. afraid lest by speaking he betray his sophis- tication. Dessert being served, he felt he must have some of the candied fruit at the other end of the table. Clearing his voice, he fixed the nearest waiter with a glittering. eye and, amid a sudden total silence, peremptorily called out at the top of his voice, “Plgs fleas!”—Exchange. Found Wanting. Mrs. Laytebyrd (as Laytebyrd comes in unsteadily at 3 a. m.)—You have no excuse for coming home at this hour and in this condition. Laytebyrd—I had one, my dear, and it was a grand one, but I can’t think what it was. . The Head of the Family. In Germany the father is the head of the family, in France the mother, in England the eldest son, in America the daughter—Don C. Seitz. The Present Time. Now is the only point of time of great moment to you. If you devote yourself to now the past will be a dream, the future a present realization Nothing s’ stronger than avérsinn.— ‘Wycherly. i ‘ [ Lucky He Stuck to His Opinion. - Pride of opinton is perhaps the most common fault of us fairly educated and dntelligent moderns. We form our judgments and then, as it were, defy any one to change them. It is said that no one has ever been converted by abstract argument. At the time of time great disaster in Martinique the Italian bark Orsolina was taking on a cargo of sugar there, Her captain was accustomed’ to volca- noes, and he did not like the appear- ance of Mont Pelee. Not hal? his cargo was on board, but he decided to sail for home. “The volcano is all right,” argued the shippers. *“Finish your loading.” +] don't know anything about Mont Pelee,” said the captain. “‘but if Vesu- vius looked that way I'd get out of Naples, and I'm going to get right out of here.” The shippers threatened him with arrest. They sent customs officers to detain him, but the captain persisted in leaving. Twenty-four hours later the shippers and the customs officers lay dead in the ruins of St. Pierre.— | @ Christian*Heraid. A Miser’s Luxury. There was a Middlesex couple once who lived on-a sum to shock the most reckless of our correspondents. Daniel Dancer was the man. He looked on spving as an art and saved for art’s sake. His father left him a farm and eighty acres, and his sister helped him carry out his scheme of :life. He let the land lie fallow, says the London Gest. It costs money to cultivate land. For food the couple believed in one day. one meal. The batch of dump- lings baked on a Saturday lasted out the week. For clothing he depended on hay bands, “swathed round his feet for boots and round his body for a coat.” But Daniel had a weakness. He would buy a clean shirt each year. And out of this arose the tragedy of his life—a lost lawsunit over three- pence which, in Daniel’s judgment, the shirt seller had wrongfully pocketed. He died in 1794 worth £3.000 a year. ) The Dear Friends. Maud—You say Jack once proposed to you. 1 don’t believe it. He said 1 was the only woman he ever loved. Ethel—Yes, dear, but he didn’t class me among women. He used to call me his angel. A sprained ankle will usually dis- able the injured person for three or four weeks. This is due to the lack of proper treatmeat. When Cham- berlain’s Liniment is applied a cure may be effected in three or four days.
