Call Office, Riggs House, Washingten, Nov. 9. Late this afternoon Republican Chatrman Babcock claimed that 174 Republicans had certainly been elected to Congress. This fell five short of a majority, for there are 357 members n the House, requiring 179 votes to or- ganize.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9.—The only fusion nominee on the State ticket who has carried this county is Judge Wal- ter Van Dyke for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. The fusionists have been “swept off the earth,” save in the case of one Justice of the Peace and one Assemblyman. Willlam Mead has defeated James Meredith in the Seventy-third District by 100 votes. Two years ago Mead had 800 majority in the same district. One of the political sensations of the day is the connection of Douglas White of San Francisco with the fight in three Assembly districts in this county. ‘White came to the city the latter part of last week, and word was given out that he had come south for the pur- pose of “handling the sack” in the in- terest of Democratic Assemblymen in the Seventy-second, Seventy-third and Seventy-fifth districts. The intelligence was soon spread broadcast, and White's frequent conferences with John T. Gaffey, the well-known Democratic leader, gave credence to the report. At first everybody regarded him as a sericus factor in the legislative cam- | paign, but by election day his perform- ances had assumed an opera-bouffe air. With a mysterious wink White would call to one side well-known heelers, who, after consultation with the im- ported fusion leader, would promptly report to the local headquarters of the Republican party. White, it is said, had a deputy who handled the sack. From the figures obtained from machine Re- publicans it is estimated that $750 was wasted on heelers, who promptly voted the Republican ticket. White has been cutting a wide swath since his arrival in Los Angeles and so have some of the heelers in the Eighth Ward. Voters who a week ago had not the price of a meal are now arrayxed in purple and fine linen. The only resuit of Mr. White’s visit to Los Angeles is that some heelers call his name blessed and Mr. Mead narrowly escaped defeat. Mr. White will cross Tehachapt in tri- umph to-morrow, but he will not have as trophies in his belt four legislative votes he was ordered to bring from the south. The vote in this equalization district is very close. George L. Arnold prob- ably is elected, Governor-elect Henry T. Gage visit- ed Republican headquarters to-day and received an enthusiastic reception. He is highly gratified at the support he has received in Southern California. Mr. Gage is exhausted as the result of his campaign labors and will go to the mountains for a week of rest and recreation. n; us a- us us n; n; er li- F3 ne g%l 1 o) o- de as of e Te | to = MELON PATCH.

Park dled in the belief that the Niger found its way to the Atlantic through the Congo, which alone at its mouth seemed to possess an adequate body of water for so long a river; and, while Major Peddle in vain attempted to follow Park’s route from the Gambia, Lieutenant Tuckey was, in consonance with his theory, dispatched by the British Gov- ernment in 1816 to follow up the Congo from its mouth. But both expeditions roved equally disastrous. Eight years ater Lieutenant Clapperton, on his first expedition from the Barbary Coast, learn- ed at Sackatoo (or Sokoto) that the Niger flowed southward to the sea. With a view to determine this he was sent out agaln in 1825, and this time landed at Badagry, near Lagos, in the Bight of Benin, not a very great distance, as it afterward turnes out, from the long- sought mouth of the river. From heré he and his companions traveled overland, reaching the Niger at Bussa, just below when Mungo Park had met with his death. Then, instead of following his in- structions and descending the river to its outlet, he started off an ambitious design to cross the continent to Abyssinla, and digd at Sokoto in April, 1827. t was Clapperton's servant, Richard Lander, who, with his brother John, in 1830, settled the question of the outlet of the Niger by descending it in canoes from Bussa, or rather from Yauri, where they had first gone to try to recover Park’s pa- pers. The mystery was solved, and the river was found to enter the sea by a number of mouths, which for hundreds of years had been known to our merchants as the Oil Rivers, and which, being in- dividually smaller than the united stream, had given no suspicion of their being the outlet of a great river. The Landers seem to have met with fewer obstacles from the rapids, which had proved so fatal to Park, than from the unfriendliness of the na- tives.—Gentleman’s Magazine. —_———— MOZART'S MISSHAPEN EAR. The Italians have an expression, “Voce a1 compositore,” indicating the defective quality of the vocal apparatus in musical composers. But if a composer need not have & volce he must have a good ear. It would seem, however, that a_good ear need not be'a beautiful one. In the Mo- zart Museum at Salzburg there is a small water-color painting representing two hu- man ears. The drawing is described in the cataloque as ‘‘Mozart's ear and an ordinary ear.” Dr. Gerber, privet docent in the University of Konigsberg, has re- cently published in the Deutsche Medi- cinische Wochenschrift an anthropological study on Mozart's ear. The fact that the great composer had ears of a pecullar shape suggests the notion that there Is | some connection between the form of the | ear and the musical faculty, which shows { itself in earliest youth. Such an idea, however, says the British Medical Jour- nal, rests on a very slender basis of fact, UN offer—per suit.... Men’s All-Wool Suits, $7.95.

The complete want | of lobe is a well-known mark of low de- velopment, especially when, as in the case of Mozart, it occurs in connection with a broad ear. It is surely .an éxample of nature’s irony that the man whose inner | ear was of the highest grade of develop- ment had an outer ear misshapen to the point of ugliness and of a retrograde type generally found only in the lowest sav- ages, —_——————— EKOREAN GEOMANCERS. The influence of the geomancers ex- tends from the King to his humblest subjects, and illustrates the cunning and simplic which are combined in the Kor- ean character. These professional oracles are consulted on all occasions by all sorts of people. The King never thinks of do- | ing anything without first asking their opinion. They are more important to him than legal advisers are to rallways and other corporations that employ them, and they are attached to all the departments of the Government. At the same time | they are notoriously corrupt, and their ad- vice is always influenced by the payment of money. | If any one desires to obtain a favor from the King he usually endeavors to se- cure the good offices of the geomancer who is likely to be consulted, and the amount of the bribe corresponds to the importance of the matter. While the geo- mancer pretends to consult the spirits and observe the movements of the stars, his client knows that it is the money that governs his action. ~ Nevertheless, when the client is required to perform some fm- portant official act, he consults the same old humbug, who has been bribed by some one else to influence his decision, and he is perfectly aware of the fact.—The Chau- tauquan. s WHAT IS A FLAM? This means a double stroke on the drum as a signal on parade, and we find in old drill book, “The major then ordered a flam,” “three rolls and six flams,” etec. Toward the close of the seventeenth cen- tury it was almost solely by words of command that Infantry exercises were gone through; there were no bugle sounds and the use of the drum was rare. The term is still used by the drummers in the Foot Guards, and probably in the line regiments. To explain it fully would be too technical and take up too much space. It consists of a few beats on the sidedrum, in peculiar rhythm, known as the “open flam” or the “close flam,” on which the non-commissioned officers and men on parade move as instructed.— Notes and Queries. _—————— There are in Tokio ten iron bridges and eleven stone bridges. Besides these, there are about sixty-nine wood- en bridges, measuring upward of thir- teen ken. Those that are of smaller length are too numerous to be counted. ADVERTISEMENTS. The clouds have hardly held more rain drops than the tears which have fallen from women’s eyes. Thereisa world of truth in the old song which said: ‘“‘Man must work, and woman must weep.”” Women must weep not only for the troub- les and ills of those they love, but because of the physical ag- ony and suffering that they them- selves endure in silence.

Ya “I know a Mrs. Curry, who lives in Tennessee,” said the Professor, “who never had any trouble with her health, aside from rheumatism, until after she was sixty years of age, but then there came some derangement of the digestive organs, and at the suggestion of her daughter, with whom she was living, she tried ’Ripans Tabules and was benefited immediately. Now she keeps them in the house all the time, and generally takes one just after eating. She finds that it cures any irregularities of the bowels, and says that, in her opinion, no family should gver be without a supply of Ripans Tabules in the house,”
