New York, Nov. 6.���������With the election of Seth Low as Mayor, Charles V. Fornes aR president of the Board of Aldermen, and Ed. M. Grout as Comptroller, the Fusionist triumph in Greater New York appears nearly complete. Many of the Fusion leaders expressed preelection fears that even though Seth Low might be elected mayor, he would find himself in a position of a president of the United States confronted by a hostile congress, since under the newly adopted city charter the presidents of the various boroughs are given greatly increased powers. The latest returns however indicate that the Funionists' cerned in the appropriation'^ and distribution, of the public funds. " ' Pekin, Nov. 7.-7rLi Hung Chang died at 11 a.m. yesterday.

Messrs Voss and Luxton who sailed from Victoria la������t May for CROKER ABDICATES. * Mr Croker, Maurice Utermeyer and Senator T. D. Sulli.van were together at dinner to-night and it is said on good authority <hat Croker a little later asked Senator Sullivan a voyage around the world arrived wnom he desired as leader. Sulli at Apia on October 10th, having travelled 6,400 miles in that time. The voyage was made in an Indian war canoe. These venturesome sailors sailed for 56 days without peeing land and only stayed a few. hours in Apia, just long enough to replenish their larder and get a supply of water. They are now on their way to Sidney by way of Fiji. Mr Luxton was on the editorial staff of " Black and White," foim- erly one of Victoria's most newsy publications. Mr Voss was a former proprietor of the Queen's Hotel, Victoria. van answered that John F. Carroll would be pleasing to him, and then and there Richard Croker abdicated his leadership of Tammany Hail and turned it over to John F. Carroll. The partyrproceeded to Tammany Hall where John F. Carroll was awaiting. He was apprised of the purpose of Mr Croker, but said nothing. He accompanied Mr Croker to the "Democratic Club in^a cab and going upstairs remained almost an hour closeted with him. It was after this "'-"Conference that Mr Croker announced "It is my last campaign." .*&m -I ������������ , ISSUiD EVERY WEDNESDAY. ii ���������mtecriptloo* $8 a year, in advance. tNU S.

Messrs Voss and Luxton who J Bailed from Victoria la^t M.iy for a voyage around the world arrived at Apia on October 10th, having travelled 6,400 miles in that time. The voyage was made in an Indian war canoe. These venturesome sailors sailed for 56 days without CROKER ABDICATES, Mr Croker, Maurice Utermeyer and Senator T. D. Sulli.van were together at dinner to-ni^ht and it is said on good authority 'hat Croker a little later asked Sena !������>r Sullivan whom he desired as leader. Sullivan answered that John F. Carroll would be pleasing to him, and then and there Richard Croker abdicated his leadership of Tammany Hail and turned it over to John F. Car- seeing^ land and only stayed a few,| ron. The party proceeded to Tarn hours in Apia, just long enough to replenish their larder and' get a supply of water. They are now on their way to Sidney by way of Fiji. Mr Luxton was ou the editorial staff of " Black and White," fozm- erly one of Victoria's most newsy publications. Mr -Voss was a former proprietor of the Queen's Hotel, Victoria. many Hall where John F. Carroll was awaiting. JHe was apprised of the purpose of Mr Croker, but said nothing. He accompanied Mr Croker to the Democratic Club in a cab and going upstairs remained almost an hour closeted' with him.

GEORGE RATHEONE 8 s i s Hastings worked with frantic eag- 'Grness, having discovered that the withes with which his arms were bound had not been secured in a [positive manner, and his energy in ' thus quarter speedily met with its reward, since he found a way to free 'his hands. A hasty search of his person failed to reveal the presence of a knife that *ivcmld have been of inestimable value just now. ��������� Apparently his captors had searched his pockets when he fell mto their power. Ilex might feel grateful they - iiad not carried their investigations ���������still further, and sought 'to discover where his heart lay. - It was something of a fad among, the fierce Ma- tabele andj|tricir allies lo tear the "���������still beatimpfomuain oT life from the breast of a fallen foeman, and thrust it in his,face as he died. __ ���������' , As a result of Hastings' * quick search, all he found was a sma'll poc- "ket match safe, which had escaped the marauder's hand.

Kex cculd not but notice it, even under-the extraordu ary circumstances surrounding the caso. He was compelled to -work in the dark, but when life is-the-stake for which he plays, a man is capable of astonishing things, and in a very' brief space of time the .argonaut had transformed himself into a, creditable warrior of ,the Zainbodi 'tribe,-though his rather heterogeneous costume would hardly ha\e borne a, close examination. ' 1 his'done I*ex was reach.' to'make his debut in the .ridiculous character he had assumed, although were the issues of the campaign less grave 'he might have felt some delicacy about api easing before that queenly' girl in such unbecoming , undress. for while retaining his trousers and shoes ho had stripped to the waist, and smeared himself as best ha could with the gfea^ coni'-ornd she left him, so mat l.il-,cn in all he mi'si ha\ o pr..s- " lei a formidable appoar.ince after rlo-ini ig the cape of plumes and nock- 1 t en teplh, together wilh the tails of annuals 'dangling from his waist to his feet. This .^.rrajed Hastings made for the exist of the prison lodge, which the girl had so ai ranged upon her departure as- to gixe lum a small amount of light. Upon emerging, his first" act was lo sweep a glance around. It could not reassure him to am extent. He knew not wner.3, appeared at his side, and, touched his arm. She was pressed in black, and 'with a veil over her wondrous face appeared .like a phantom, whereas in white he had adeemed her an angel. A sense of hi a remarkable appear- 'ance almost overwhelmed Kex, and he mentally thanked ' ther friendly shadows that in'a. great measure concealed his savage garb. . He felt more foolish than at any( time in the whole course of his life. However; a man can undergo varied experiences- and still live to tell ,the tale, and by degrees he became,' in a measure at 'least, accustomed to the peculiar role fate had marked out for him The girl made-no comment���������possi- 'bly because she was quite accustomed to the sight of Zulu and Matabele and Zambodi warriors in'all 'their w-eird toggery, since 'she must have spent years among them. "Wo must lose no time, sir���������you can hear those savage shouts rising higher,, all the while. That comes from' the widows of' the warriors lately slain by your friends. They are singing ' your death song," she said. , "Come, that is pleasant," remarked Rex, as the chant reached such a ferocious pitch as to send a shudder over him. , "Presently, when they'have succeeded in working themselves up to a pitch of demoniac furv, a, rus-h will be made,for the pri.Yon lodge, with the intention- of dragging you out and tea-ring you "to pieces." ._ "Regular Amazo.ns, I - guess; which makes me feel doubly, under obligations to you; my good' friend.

What is imxjos- sible to a spirit of that calibre? As Hastings' turned the corner "of the lodge, he reached that side away from the nearest, fire. .Here the shadows lay thickest, and here he was to, look for his fair benefactress. That she did not immediately, appear he-laid to his ferocious' makeup as a full-fledged warrior- of the Zambocli, and desiring to reassure her he said aloud: . "I am ready!"- ������������������ '���������-, ...'��������������������������� 1'hen a figure, coming ��������� from he the- ring waist, though how- she had managed to secure this treasure , was a tery that puzzled linn greatly.

On the whole he was, qui too satisfied /to lea\e these warm friends - in the lurch, sinctj'tlieir interests in his welfare was decidedly too personal. - Thus moving along they drew near the gate of ^ the, stockade. Rex ' re^ membered how he had seen the river of dancing blacks come pourincr'forth like a living stream, as they advanced in obedience* to the tom-tom -signal 'that called them to the, war- dancc c ' Once ~6utside the gate-the chances of disebverv, would be" considerably lessened, although he was* puzzled to know how . their i ultimate escape might be effected. , Perhaps she^ meant to secrete him in the depth'of some lonely ca\ern until the hunt had been gi\en un when tney might arrange to depart together. Her presence was an incentive to him and he was ready to follow her lea-d without a question, no matter through wiiat danger she might take" him. ��������� There were times when ho almost rubbed elbows with stalwart warriors in his passage, and more than once guttural words were spoken, doubtless addressed to him, but he only .returned a shake ,of the head aaid'strode' onward, for- the language ,of the Zambodi -was ������������������worse than Greek to hi'm.

V( * IT IS DIRIGIBLE AND HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY TRIED. THE KING'S BROTHER. Q Description of tho Air Ship Which Has f JJeen Successfully Steered in Paris l������y Scnlior S.-iutOb-Dumon;, With ti I'or_ trait of tit a Inventor���������Capacity, u������d Propelling; Power. Senhbr Santos Dumont's,, balloon is not a mere inflated bag, subject to the caprices of air currents. He has solved the problem' of dirigibility��������� in other words, he has invented a balloon that can be steered either with,-or against the wind. / This* air ship which M. de Santos Durnont has just successfully tried in Paris is the. outgrowth of several years of work and experiment on the part of the inventor. This machine was only recently completed. Work on its construction was kept '- profoundly, secret until it was ready to sail., The steering apparatus is suspended ( from a huge cigar-shaped balloon. -The motor is a gasoline ' engine, .which drives the shaft of the screw. The aeronaut sits in the' saddle and starts the motor by means of a pedal- and chain gear, as in the case of a motorcycle. Tho t gasoline ,is contained in,the uj'per 1 cylinder and in the lower and larger' cylinder is"a reservoir of,water which is used as ballast. The1-capacity of' *the balloon which floats this apparatus is 11,790 cubic feet, and the motor gives sixteen horse-power. The mechanism " is , suspended seventeen feet" below,'the 'centre of the balloon, which' weighs 125- pounds. The weight of the ropes, including the guide ropes, is thirteen pounds, and ,that of the-steering mechanism 352 sexor SAvros Dmroxr. ' . pounds. The screw is made of aluminum, covered with steel to enable it to cut" the air ,with the best effect; -.-it weighs about fifty-nine pounds and makes "180 ' revolutions per minute. At the rear -end , of the balloon - is carried the rudder, which is simply operated by ropes reaching to' the, ' car. The motor is of the two-cylinder type/ very like that which is used on gasoline motorcycles. The spark for ignition is produced by an induction coil. The motor -makes 1,500 revolutions per minute, and this speed is reduced by gearing connected with the shaft of the screw. The inventor has been working upon his idea for nlany years. Senhor Santos Dumont is a young Brazilian engineer, about 27 years old. He has been greatly interested in aeronautics for a number of years * and- has the means wherewith to indulge in expensive, researches. His motives arc most praiseworthy, for he was ambitious of being the first builder of a dirigible balloon. ITe has built a number of flying machines, none of which, however, has exactly answered his purpose. His success with his latest venture has reached the first stage of his ambition. Women Cannot Boss Eacli Other. The old theory that woman is man's helper seems incorrigibly well founded, saj-s E. S. Martin in McClure's Magazine. If the situation isn't satisfactory to her, there is no help for it, for the conditions it came out of seem to be eternal. Women may vote. They will *be none the less man's helpers if they do. They never will band together to put man down and teach him his place. They will push him ahead if they can, they will pull him along when they must, they will influence him enormously, as they always have done, but they will never conspire together on any very great scale to make biro play second fiddle. Some one has got to be master. Women in general will never agree to have "women bosses so long as there are competent men for that use. DOGS. There are nearly 200 distinct varieties of dogs. ���������������������������/, .���������������������������-. Foxhounds give cry, but deerhounds hunt in silence. The greyhound is the only dog which hunts by sight. A pure bred staghound never attacks the head of his quarry. Only in the temperate zone is the dog found perfect in courage and speed. The Italian greyhound is reputed to be the most symmetrical of all animals. Skye terriers have been known to jump into the river and land hooked fish, which they take carefully by the back. Eskimo dogs are capable of drawing a well laden sledge CO miles in a day. Their harness is of the lightest, only a Bingle trace and no reins.

COUNTESS TOLSTOI. Her Noble liCtter in'Dcfeiice of Hcr'Piun- ous Husband.* Countess Sophia Andrerovna Tolstoi, wife of the \ famous^.Russian ��������� novelist and sociologist, may be accounted 'one of the' most .remarkable of women in Europe. She -has stood fast by her husband's side in all diis ups and downs of fortune and was his mainstay during his recent1 ..disgrace by the Russian Government for having defended the liberty-loving students of St. Petersburg. Countess Tolstoi is _a genuine wife-and mother and very different in her tastes fiom her philosopher husband.f'< The Count describes her as a "high flyer at fashion. " Judging from accounts of ' a 'recent visitor "to llus.sia, the same distinction characterizes ti.o husband3 and wife. This visitor describes'1 his interview'with the great jvitnor - f-nd reformer." The Count'was in. - peasant dress and received his'guest ,i-i a. COU>-Ti;SS TOLSTOI. plainly furnished study, i'.iiu when the two 'repaired to the reception- room they found the Countess in magnificent court costume, and the ladies who were with her were similarly attired. These things, iiow- evcr*, are mere matters of taste. From the events of the late uprising in Ilussia it would seem that the Countess lias a- peculiar right to be heard aud honored by everyone. Jlcr husband's excommunication gave her an opportunity of issuing a public letter which was especially apptvil- ing. The brave wife closes her letter in these words: "God wiLl be lenient to those who even outside the church have lived a life of humility, renunciation of the good things of Jus world, love and devotion. His pardon is surer for theni than for those whose miters and decorations sparkle with precious stones, but who stuke and expel from the church those over whom they aro sot as pastors, llvpoci-isy would vainly distort my words, for good faith does not err in judging people's real intention*-.*' Countess Tolstoi fpr many years h.is acted as her husband's friend, secretary and critic. Tlie romance of their lovcniaking is found-in "Anna ivar- eniha." . '���������::��������� Deserted. . ,-, Jamestown, /Va-., where the English gained their first foothold in the new world in 1G07, was burned in 1G70. Today nobody lives there. ' Little remains to mark the site except a crumbling church tower, dilapidated, gravestones and remnants of the foundations.of a few houses. A Bit of Bvarts' Wit.. When William M. Evarts was secretary of state in'President Hayes' -cabinet, he said in an after dinner speech at Omaha: "I like the west. I like her self made men. And the more I travel west, the more I meet with her public men, the more I am satisfied of the truthfulness of the Bible statement that the wise men came from the east!''

The Duke of "Cornwall,- who is on his way to visit Canada, will'likely have \ his permanent .residence in Iio'ughtoa Hall, 'Norfolk.' Of all the historical - mansions of which, Nor-- folk may justly be proud, Houghton 1-Tall, -.by reason of its general mag-, nificence,, ,, claims priority/ and- re-, ceives additional luster' from its association with the name and fame of one of England's most-noted ministers, .Sir Robert Walpole. ' The Walpoles' are, one'of the,,,most an-' cient families of'England,' and as'the Walpoles of Houghton were'heard 'of in the reign of ,Edwtud I., and for centuries afterward.1' The present Houghton Hall was built by Sir Robert' Walpole between', the years 1722 and 173o. The hall as it now stands is in close proximity^ to the Royal 'residence at Sandnngham. It is surrounded by magnificent oaks and walnuts, many, of the former a century-ago having been cut "out .to make three deckers fo-r the Nile and Trafalgar. ��������� 'The original designs for the exterior wero furnished by Colin Campbell.'' The 'structuie is of freestone and -has two" principal, fronts.

The-'private grounds'arc laid out in flower" gardens- and extensive walk������ shaded all the way by gigantic tree-,. _ Sir Robert Walpole regarded the spot as his "dearest resting place"' and it is certainly one of the ..most beautiful enclosures possessed by the Royal family. Horace Yvalpplc is buried in the old church of Houghton Hall, close by the historic structure itself. DR.1 A. KUYPER. Holland's Sew Premier Said to T5e liroad- Minded and Intellectual. Dr. A.

The co-operative movement in Denmark at the last re-turn shows a total of 837 societies, * with 130,031 members, rather good showing, considering that the whole population of Denmark is only half that of London. Last year alone their exports in pigs, bacon, butter and eggs amounted to over ������.10,000,000, the whole of the profits going into the farmers' hands. All milk'must, by law, be heated to 180 Fahr. before leaving the dairies. All cattle are killed under tho eye of vcterinaries, the meat being afterwards stamped according to quality, so that the purchaser knows exactly what he is paying fpr, and, lastly, the excursionists were surprised to receive practical demonstrations at the Royal Veterinary College that many diseases of horses for whifih in this country slaughter is considered the only course, arc there successfully treated and cured. the speech- from the throrie/*' announcing the inten't|ion-to, remove. ;to; Ot-v lawa,u,,was&carried but by.'a -narrow; majority of three/or fourr^/Z,, \ "The.Government,was in, a difficult"' position, for there < was the. hostile . vote of, the'' ' Legislature 'on record/: and,."the fact; '.to bo considered ,-' that1", / it was ;thcn'paying S per cent'. for 'money, so the proposition ?X������ ���������rincur>. large, expenditure' for- Fedcrar'buiidr. > ings was a'serious matter: However, the/project carried, ,and '' the, ./build-* ing' of the Parliament'Houses ���������at'^Ot- tawa .was begun/in-1860, the/year the - Legislature/left1'Toronto>-/ sand-; nioved to Quebec, for/-as you "know, _ we, had; the perambulating-,.> system -��������� then, -^the Legislature- meeting (f. ��������� in -' Quebec "and..Toronto, for/ four4; - years. , alternately.

The Sioux woman does more work than the man does. Of course, the women do not know very much about housekeeping. In. fact, they don't know anything about it. They live in log cabins, with only the ground for tbe'floor, and they have "but one room. -In that room-they have their beds in one corner, their trunks^ around the sides, and they'often ,have beautiful beadwpik hanging on the walls. They have a lai-ge stove as near the center of the room as they can.' On that stove you will always find a coffeepot and teakettle, and they are always kept full.

"When a girl is born in India," relate* a woman missionary, "the first question asked is, Whom shall she marry? Every high caste girl must be wedded at 12 and to a man df her caste and her horoscope. He may bo comparatively young, middle aged or old, immoral, diseased or brutal. It makes.no difference, if his caste and horoscope agree with hers. A woman in India is perfectly helpless. "She is generally married at 8 or 9, but does not become a member of_her husband's family until she is 12. If it should chance that her husband die before that time, she becomes a child widow, the most despised of creatines. A curse is believed to be upon her, and if she goes the ordinary course she commits suicide in desperation. There are 72,000 child widows under 9 years of age in India.

About Lough Mask plenty of the lasses are to be seen in picturesque red petticoats that artists loved to bring into their sketches of Irish life. A sprinkling of the old high hats may be seen.

The next year Cartier returned with; three ships, thought he saw in the St. Lawrence^ the wished for passage to India and was only undeceived by the freshness of the waiter on: reaching the month of the Saguen������y. Then was revealed the majestic size of the continent, for, with the exception of the Amazon and the Orinoco, no American river gives one such a sense of power and grandeur. As the Frenchmen inquired the names of the Indian villages along the banks they were answered "Canada," a Mohawk word meaning village, but which wras applied by the Frenchmen to the country.

Each One Carrie* a Complete Drive "Well Outfit and u Suction Pomp. Plant lice are most peculiar insects. Popularly they are called "green flies" or "green aphides," and some species of them are known as "ants' cows." Science has found this name truly given, for ants know well how to excite the tiny lice, causing the sweet Juice to flow upon which the wise little "milkers" delight to feast. The lice are not all of one kind, but belong to different species, differing riu form-and living on different plants. All, however, are true bugs belonging to the hemlptera, which includes such pests as San Jose scale, chinch bug and chicken louse. The lice pierce the surface of leaves and suck up the flowing sap. The mouth of each little plant louse is a complete drive..well outfit with a suction pump attachment As these insects do not eat the leaves or buds, Internal poisons like london purple nnd paris green do not affect them, but something which kills by contact must be used. Perhaps the best and simplest of the remedies Is good whale oil soap solution. This is made by dissolving one pound of a ������tandard whale oil soap in seven gallons of hot water. A good soap of this character may be made at home by boiling together for two hours one pound of crystal potash lye, three gallons of water tuxS three pints of fish oil. Do not add the oil until the lye Is dissolved. Other remedies are kerosene emulsion, kerosene water mixture, tobacco decoction, concentrated extract of tobacco and pyrethrum, or "Persian insect powder." Whichever of these remedies Is used the application should bo made early in the season when the lice are but few, when leaves are unfolding and buds are breaking, else the leaves will have curled up so that the lice cannot be reached by the solutions. Spray from below, as the lice choose the undersides of the leaves, and spray thoroughly. If the lice have not been noticed until late, it will be best to cut off the worst "affected leaves, especially on bushes and small trees where the curled leaves can be reached easily. One or two careful sprayings following this treatment should keep the lice in check. Once* Month for 25 Cents* .' , .., Yearly Subscription, $2.00.

The fact that a jury in such cases acquits a person ;taking life in that way of the charge of .murder, is not an acquittal of care- ' lessness, and no plea can excuse ..him of that crime. No denuneia- " tion can be strong enough to apply to, any one who shoots at an object in the field without first satisfying himself as to the nature of that object. ' A* ' '> It must be understood that these remarks,are not"'specially directed, to the late sad case. These accidents are happening,continually in various parts of the world, and have ^ been the subject of newspaper criti- ���������isoi v and ' articles of warning for many years., Y*et the warnings pass unheeded, and the^work of. . death goes on, and the bitter irony of these accidents is in that, as a friend remarked, when you shoot a man accidentally a jury: acquits, : you, as they mustdo, and vou may go free and-unfettered, whereas, if - you shoot a man's cow, or horse, sheep or pig, goose, turkey . or chicken, you must pay for it, whether .the shot was accidental or otherwise. This is not to imply that money can replace a valuable life. No act of man can give back any approach to a substitute for a father, husband or eon to the mourners, yet, in cases where dire poverty stares'the family bereft of its rstaff of support, it seems but just that, the iepriver .be made to bear a share of the burden. ^ ' 1 .. 11 * ������ CAMPBELL'S Bakery to his companions Their disregard often results'' in the death of the ���������hooter or of some hapless victim.

The observ-' ance of them will insure nafety to ^the man with the gun and safety What about the electric light franchise? It is generally conceded that, under existing conditions, the city, is not in a position to install the plant and carry on the work. The Company, we understand, have changed their offer somewhat. The s first proposition was for a 20 years' franchise, the city to have purcnas- ing option at the end of that time. Now, however, they ask a 50 years' franchise, giving the city the option of purchasing at any time. The offer is a good one in any case. The agreement to share profits over and above 7 p.c. is, in itself, an advantage. Then, in a few years' time, should the city find themselves in a *: position, and see fit to purchase the plant, they may do so, and in the meantime we are not deprived of our electricity.'
