F. Bettes at Tampa, Fla., and nctifies the family of the coming of dawn every morning by pecking on the window pane. Often when the doors are left ajar the mccking bird comes inside and perches on the chairs and about the room. It will allow the family to come very close and shows marked attention to Mrs. Bettes and her little daughter. When they start out for a visit it follows them some distance, and then returns to the yard. When the family returns it appears very glad, and will fly all about them, and gives evidence of its joy in other ways. The children feed it about the house, and when the family meal is to be served, if the window is not raised, it makes its presence known by pecking on the window. During the day it gets on @ neighboring brush or tree and sings its roundelay of song for hours at a time.

A very original monumental fountain, de- signed and modeled by the Berlin sculptor, Hans Dammann, was recently unveiled at Linden, near Hanover. The center figure rises to a height of about twenty feet. the center of a large basin a heavy Gothic column rises, and upon this pedestal stands the figure of a watchman in mediaeval cos- tume. His left arm Is: stretched out, and holds the long halbert, from which a lan- era is suspended, which will be illuminated by an electric light at night. In the right hand he holds a large horn, which Is raised to the mouth, as if he were going to give the hour by horn signal. At the belt there is a bunch of large keys. This statue is more than life size and is a product of true artistic humor. Next to this oiden-time night watchman a large, strong dog is seat- ed, locking up at his masier and appar- ently sharing his nightly watches. Just beneath the capital of the Gothic column four large cats spout water, and still fur- ther below four bats are placed, which also serve the aquatic display, The column and pedestal are of Swedish granite, while all tho figures are cast in bronze. This monumental fountain 1s one of the most original works ot modern art, and German art critics are very lavish in their praise of the young sculptor. Mysteries of Proxidence. From the Cincinnati Enquiver, “I see,” said the lady’ who wishes to wear bloomers, “that another woman has been burned to death by her skirts catching on fire. You never hear ef woman's bloomers catching on fire and burning her to death.” “Which simply goes‘ito »show,” said the husband of the lady who wishes to wear bloomers, “how mysterious are the ways of providence,’ =~ A Case in, Point.

SENATOR JONES REFUSED 10 YIELD Bryan Recommended Watching the Returns. MR. SEWALL’S PREDICTION ——.__ Mr. Henry C. Payne of the republican national committee, in charge of the head- quariers in the absence of Mr. Hanna, 1s- sted the following in Chicago last evening: CHICAGO, November 4, 1896. Considering the wild rumors which are being circulated throughout the country, we deem It proper and advisable to state the result of the election as indicated by the returns reported to the Associated Press and confirmed by telegrams to this office from the chairmen of the several state committees and the members of the nation- al committes in the several states. Mc- Kinley has carried beyond a doubt a suffi- cient number of states so that his vote in the electoral college will be not less than 264. These states, following, with the elec- toral vote of each state, are: California, 9; Connccticut, 6; Delaware, 3; Mlinois, 24; Indiana, 15; Iowa, 13; Maine, 6; Maryland, 8; Massachusetts, 15; Michi- gan, 14; Minnesota, New Hampshire, 4; New Jersey, 10; New York, 36; North Da- kota. 3; Ohlo, Oregon, 4; Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, 4; South Dakota, 4: Ver- mont, 4; West Virginia, 6; Wisconsin, 12. Total, 264. In addition to these the states of K tucky, North Carolina and Wyoming are in doubt, with the chances about even in, the three states, although the republicans ef Kentucky claim that the state will give its electoral vote to McKinley by a major- ity of not less than 3,000. It is proper to give the basis of the claims in the disputed stat Advices late this evening from California, from the member of the national committee in San Fran- cisco, place the majority in that state at Su00. This ts confirmed by reports to the Associat Press. Telegrams from Indiana, from the chair- man of the state republican central com- mittee and the member of the national committee, show that the state has given not less than 25,000 and probably over 30,- (oo for McKinley, and that the repuil have clected all the members of Congress and carried the tc » joint Pelegrams from North and South Dakoza, Which have been contirmed by the received by the Associated P: majority in these states at than 5,000 in North Dakota an in South Dakota. In North Dakota they have entire state ticket and carried th ture. 1 little om out In South Dakota the legislature is in doubt. There is no possible foundation for the r t being circulated that Mr. Bryan has carried any of the states pla sure column for McKinle (Gigned) ed in the NRY C. PA NE. BY BRYAN. He Advised Watching the Returns to Prevent Mistake: Mr. Bryan, the democratic candidate, last night gave out the following in reply to humerous telegrams from all parts of the country “The democratic national committer Claims enough states to give a majority in the electoral college, but the vote is very close in several of the states and the result cannot be positively known until the entire yete is counted. In all close contests it is wise for both sides to watch the returns to guard against the possibility of mistake, intentional or unintentional.” Mr. Bryan dictated this statement to a pewriter, but when pressed for something more for the press, declined to yield, say ing that he could give no utterance to his opinion as to the result, or outline his in- tentions until the outcome should be defi- hitely known, In conversation with friends, he freely the probabilities, referring to the # of the yete in several of the states comparing notes with them on the es in Kentucky, Indiana, West Vir- sinia and other states of apparently nar- row margin. He read all bulletins with in- terest, but in reply to questions said he was not allowing the uncertainty te cause the least dezrce of worry. He spoke cheerfully to all, but it became evident toward the latter part of the day that he was growing less and less hopeful. He was especially atified at the result In Nebraska and took on to earnestly congratulate the rmen of the various county and state committees located in Lincoln on their work in the city and throughout the state. Dur- ing the afternoon Mr. Bryan attended the funeral of an old friend and he spent the evening with his callers. MR. SEWALL’S PREDICTION. He Says Silver Will Continue to Be the Issue. The New York World has the following from Bath, Me. The correspondent asked the defeated vice presidential candidate whether he thought Tuesday's result would settle the free silver issue: “No, sir,” Mr. Sewall replied. “Do you think ft will be the issue in the next presidential campaign? Mr. Sewail was asked. “Yes, sir; it will be the campaign until it prevails.” When asked if he thought the democratic party would ever again accept an alliance with the populisis he replied that he did not care to express an opinion on that sub- Ject. He said: “There is only one opinion for us all now, and that is that Major Me- Kinley has nearly 275 electoral votes to his credit, or about fifty to spare. The news was, of course, a surprise to me, but there is no doubt about it now. I was satisfied that McKinley was elected as early as 9 o'clock last night. When asked about the vote of his own city he-said that the democrats made a slight gain, which was, of course, gratify ing to him. issue for every CHAIRMAN JONES’ STATEMENT. He Refused Last Night to Concede McKinley's Success. Senator Jones issued the following state- ment last night in Chicago: “I have counted from the beginninz as the states upon which we relied for Mr. Bryan's election the southern states, with 156 votes, and the states west of the Mis- sourl, with 61 votes, m. Ss a total of 217. I have hoped that we would carry Indiana, Michigan and Minnesota. I be- lieve that we have carried all of the south- ern states except Maryland, and that we have carried all of the wes‘ern st:ttes here- tofore counted on, which leaves us, not counting Delaware, which I think we have carried, and which I hava not heretofore calculated on, 2 votes. One vote we cer- tainly have in Delaware, and probably three. But counting only one yote, which we have beyond doubt, it leaves necessary to a choice, fourteen votes. Either Michi- gan or Indiana would give us those four- teen votes. The reports receved by us from both these states make encourage. ment, and lead us to believe ihat while both states are close, that we have the better chance to win each, and that we may probably carry both. “There can be scarcely a doubt of cur getting Indiana. Under these circumszances it seems to me that we are entirely just! fled in claiming the election of Mr. Bryan, which I do, and I believe that the iem- r of the people is such tha‘ they will not ow their choice to be defeated by tricks and fraud. “The statements made in tho city papers today that I have given up the contest and admitted that Mr. Bryan 13 defeated, indi- cate a deliberate purpose on the part of papers, as well as the republican managers, to create false impressions in the minds of the people, and to lead them to believe thet McKihley’s election !s accompiisied and acquiesced in, “I have not fora moment acquiesced in Mr. McKinley's election, and will not until FACTS You can save dollars.

He did no work of amy kind, expressing him- self as being too tired to give any attention In the afternoon word was quielly passed along and at 2 o'clock the whistles of all the steamers and tugs in r nearby and of the factories on the lower flats began to shrick and bellow in unison. = A large crowd provided with tin horns and bells appeared before the Perry-Payne building and added its shouts and clatter to the din. Mr. Hanna looked out of his office window to learn the cause of the demonstration and soon found that it was in his honor. He proceeded to a platform improvised under the arched entrance to the building, where he spoke a few words f acknowledgment and felicitation. TA short speech was made by his friend, J. H. Hoyt, and after further jubilation the crowd dispersed. z At 6 o'clock Mr. Hanna started for Ne York to join his wife and youngest daugh- ter, the latter of whom 1s under medical treatment there. He will remain there about a week.

Parades were formed, and {it was not until long after midnight that the excitement was allayeg and the paraders were induced to disperse.

Our baby Ruth is 13 monthsold and she had never been sick a day, not so much as had the colic: she is heagty and stout, and pretty as a picture—pretty because she is healthy. and we very much blame Dr. Pierce's family medicines for it. We keep Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- ery. the ‘Favorite Prescription’ and the *Pleas- ant Pellets" in our home and use them. We have been married most three years and I have called phy: n into my family but one time—at birth of our baby.” If all the maladies due to constipation were taken out of medical books, there would be little left but the covers.
