Johnson, of the court house and city hall commission, and the county commission ers have made an arrangement to inform the public as to the result of the election by means of the court house chime. When the result Is definitely known, which may not be until ' after midnight, the scale will be played. If McKinley wins, the scale will be rung, commencing at the lowest note, and if Bryan Is elected, the bells will be rung commencing with the highest note. The music will be kept up for twenty minutes, when "America" and perhaps a hymn will be played, and then the scale will be rung again. If the bells » ring commencing with the lowest note, it means a Republican victory, while if the sale starts at the top it means a Democratic victory. Bicycle Firm Assigns. The bicycle business, while apparently on the boom, does not appear to have la it the proper amount of profit for retailers. The third assignment of bicycle houses of the season occurred yesterday, when Isaac R. Snow made a voluntary assignment for the benefit of his creditors to E. R. Gaylord. Mr. Snow was the pioneer b'cyle retailer in Minne apolis, having been the first to recognize the future of the bicycle as a pleasure vehicle, lie was supposed "to be doing a business that would net "him a fortune, and the assignment X comes as a surprise to the local trade. Mr. V Snow is president of the Snow Cycle Manu facturing company, which has not assigned, the ass'gnment filed being a personal one. Books for the Jail Library.

WORK OF THE SALVATIONISTS. Booth-Tucker Points Ont the Good That Has Been Done — Minne apolis Matters. Exposition hall, which has contained many and most enthusiastic political audiences during the past three months, last evening saw the close of the campaign on the part of the Re publicans of Minneapolis. Senator Knute Nelson was the attraction of the evening, and his concluding words were most appropriate in which to end what has proved to be the most intense and exciting political contest in the history of the American repub lic, "Now, boys, up and at them." Last night's meeting proved in many re spects the best held in Minneapolis on the part of the sound money advo cates. Mr. Nelson's speech was a sim ple and yet conclusive discussion of the money question. It had been ex pected that his address would be di rected especially toward voters of his own nationality. In fact, he made no reference whatever to nationality, and the only statement having any relation whatever to nationality was a com parison of the money systems of Euro pean nations, in which he referred to Norway, Sweden and Denmarck as be ing upon a single gold standard and unlike the system of the United States. Tc say that Senator Nelson was well received by Minneapolis Republicans would be but mildly stating the fact. He was welcomed with open arms His appearance upon the platform was the signal for an outburst of applause wh lC h continued for several minutes so loud that it made the walls of the old building tremble. When he arose to speak he received a second ovation which concluded with three cheers for Nelson. 6 6oo e n^n!l nee n , u . mbe^d no less than half ?/' l>t pkin S the floor of the hall and nearly filling the galleries.

Music was furnished by the Wett?. iment band and the TTelem ** le L. S. Eastman was the first speaker of thT aS - t ann °" need as a laboring man of the city. He was to speak of the money question in relation to the working-man. After introducing his topic, he asked of the laboring men present the pertinent question, "Have any of you ever heard a single reason assigned why the laborer should vote. ii r £, fre * and unlimited coinage of silver? He continued: "I have heard a good and sufficient reason why the silver mine owner should vote that ticket, and a plausible reason is given why the farmer should vote for silver. It is that the price of his prod ucts will be raised. But how are the wage-earners to be benefited? It is admitted that the free coinage plan will raise the price of all necessities which we must buy. as well from the farm as from the manufacturer and merchant. But what assurance have we that wages will be advanced to I kep- pace with the advanced cost of i | living? In fact, it is the law that I i wag"es are the slowest to rise In i | that case we are doing ourselves a i positive injury." The sneaker told ' ! a pig story, which was to illustrate the I condition of the silver men on the proposition that free coinage would j raise the- bullion value of silver to the ' coinage value. An Irishman killed a ! hog, and when asked how much it ■ I weighed dressed, replied. "Regorry. it | didn't weigh as much as I expected , ! and I never believed it would." In I I conclusion, the speaker said that the ' I laboring people of the United States I : are an intelligent class of men, not to i be led astray by fallacious theories j : and he believed that they would ! march to the polls and to a man cast ; their vote for McKinley and sound money. SENATOR NELSON had entered the hall during the speech of Mr. Eastman. He was loudly cheered as he began his address. His ! voice at the opening was low. and cries ; of "louder," louder," from various parts j of the room disturbed him, but he was ; soon able to make himself heard | throughout the vast audience. He told i of a meeting he recently held in a small town on the Northern Pacific road where two years ago there were only Populists. This year they were for Mc- Kinley and the Republican party. The speaker said: "Never since the days of the great war, when I with many of ycu, shouldered my musket as a boy and marched tc the front, have I felt | as much interest in any political strug ! gle as now. I was then a partisan, now I am only one of Uncle Sam's boys, anxious alone for the welfare of the country, and to do my duty. In 1892 the Democratic party came to me with premises of tariff reform. We have had four years of starvation as a result. They didn't dare come to us again with that plea, and now offer as the panacea of all our ills the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. | They say we have too little money to do the business of the country, and that what we have is tco high priced. They say all this was caused by the demon etization of silver in '73, and that where legislation has injured legislation can cure. It is true that in 1873 silver was j demonetized by legislative act. Five years later, or 1878, an act was passed remonetizing silver, and ever since the latter date silver has been legal tender for the payment of all debts public or private. That law is still in force The so-called Bland bill makes silver i legal tender for all obligations unless i otherwise stated ln the contract. There is no legal reason why the government could not pay every dollar of its debt in silver if it saw fit, but there is an other duty of the government, and that is to redeem its promise to maintain the parity of the two metals used as coin. For as soon as the government should begin to discredit either of its money coins, so soon would that coin fall in price and become the sole ccin of the nation. It would at once drive out of circulaticn the better coin. Now, al though technically silver is a primary money, still the government is obliged to forego its right to pay its obliga tions in silver, and to pay all its debts in gold. But what about the gold element in contracts? It must be re membered that we are a young nation, that we haven't as yet acquired the wealth of the older European nations. Most of our railroads, for examples, have been built of money borrowed | from European capitalists. If we had depended upon the money lenders of our own country, the railroads would never have been built. Go back to lit tle Norway, a gold standard country, noted for Its rocks and fijords, with less tillable lands than my own county of Douglas in Minnesota. There we | can borrow money at 5 per cent inter | est, the only condition being that we are to pay interest and principal in money which is just as good as that re- J ceived. la there anything wrong in THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1896. this requirement? (Cries of no, and applause.) In 1873 there had been coined into silver dollars in this coun try the sum of $8,031,000. Not a man in this audience has ever seen one of the so-callad DOLLARS OF OUR DADDIES. "The first dollar of silver that I ever saw was one coined under the Bland act of 1878. And yet they tell us to go back to the money we had up to 1873. There was then not a dollar of the silver in circulation, but the country was upon a paper money basis — government premises to pay. The paper money was practically the only money we had from 1862 to 1878, and during this period was passed the so-called crime of 1873, by which was struck down one-half of our currency. You see my friends, that this was not so much of a crime after all, but crime or no crime,- silver was again remonetized five years later. Un der the free coinage system, the owner of the bullion brings his grist to the mill and has it coined, instead of the government which now makes the pro fit. The difference is where the coin age goes, whether into the pockets of the mine owner, or into the treasury of the government, making our taxes less. At the time we demonetized sil ver, there had been coined entire, in cluding subsidiary coins, $50,000,000, while today there is $635,000,000 of sil ver in circulation. Of this $432,000,000 has been coined under the Sherman act. All this money is in circulation, in the shape of silver certificates. We have today a greater amount of silver in circulation than ever before in the history of the United States. The Sher man act provided for the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver per month, of which about one-third has been coined, the rest lying as bullion in the treas ury and represented by silver certifi cates. During the present year, $14, --000X00 of silver have been coined so far. Does this look as if the govern ment is, and has been unfriendly to ward silver? Another argument that wo hear is the contraction of the cur rency. It is not true. In 1860 there was $13 per capita of circulation. In 1873 j there was $18; in 1865 there was $20.50. j During the administration of Harrison, there was $23.30, and during the present administration there is approximately $23.66. These are cold figures. It proves that the statement of a contracted cur rency is false. It also proves that the argument of better times with more money in circulation is not true, for I there isn't a Populist in the house, who would not pray tonight, 'Good Lord, deliver us from the hard times of G rover Cleveland, and if I can not get all I want, give us the time of Ben jamin Harrison and the Republican party. When Grover Cleveland came into power, the manufacturers of the country became frightened at the prom ises of tariff reform, and the result was a manufacturers' panic. This was followed by a monetary panic in 1893, when the capitalists of the country be gan to fear the too great coinage of silver under the Sherman act. They were afraid the country would be obliged to go upon a silver basis. The poor people draw their money out of the saving banks, put it into vaults. AND IT DISAPPEARED from circulation. For a time only checks and clearing house certificates were used. ' Now if the mere spectre cf free* coinage of silver produces such a panic, what will be the result of the country actually trying the experiment? Cleveland called congress together and the silver coinage act of 1893 was given to the country. This repealed the pur chasing clause in the Sherman bill The Republican party stand squareiy upon that law, and any one is mistak e- who belives the Republican party is working for a single gold standard of money to the exclusion of silver." The effect of free coinage was then shown, and it was conclusively proved tl at it would mean the worst crisis this country had ever seen. There was no call for a change, and a restoration cf business confidence such as would lcsult by returning the Republican party to power would soon bring back to us prosperity. In conclusion Senator Nelson advised his hearers to vote for McKinley, Fletcher, Clough and the entire Republican ticket. Following Senator Nelson, Gov. Clough was introduced for a few re marks, and he expressed confidence in the result of the election. He was fiure of the election of William McKin ■ ley, and felt satisfied to leave his own | cause in the hands of the voters of ! Minnesota. W. E. Brown, of Chicago, was the j closing speaker, and for half an hour j he poured hot shot into the Democratic j part-*. He jollied up the crowd and i sent them home in happy mood, ready I to vote for the Republican party. The Republicans closed the campaign In North Minneapolis last evening with an over flow meeting at the Washington rink. All available seats were taken, r.nd it is esti mated that not less than 3.000 people were rresent, there being a few ladies. The meet ing was presided over by Charles A. Pillsbury, i who introduced Knute Nelson. This was the first time that the senator has been heard in this city this campaign. He was most en thusiastically received. His address was short, being of about half an hour's dura tion. This was necessitated on account of his having to speak at the monster demon stration at the Exposition. He devoted nearly the entire time to state issues, and defended Gov. Clough in the matters that have sur reptitiously been brought against the state's executive. Gov. Clough. Victor B. Dilliver and Loren Fletcher also addressed the meeting. WORK OF SALVATIONISTS. Booth-Tncker Points Ont the Good That Has Been Done. Booth-Tucker proved a drawing card last night, and in spite of the weather ! and other attractions a large audience j i assembled at Plymouth Congregation jal church. Every Salvationist in the ! I city, as well as the visiting officers, was present, and the divisional band rendered a number of selections. Maj. Clifford, after prayer had been ! offered, gave a solo and then iniro- I duced Mayor Pratt, who honored the j j occasion as acting chairman. In ac- j | cepting the honor the mayor spoke a j few words in praise of the army. He ! said he had taken notice of the good | accomplished in Minneapolis, and with in the last two years many people, j who had formerly said disrespectful I things of the workers, were now speak ; ing in loud praise of their methods. j He said there was a great and good ! j work for them to do and he fully j j sympathized with them. On conclud- i | ing he was loudly applauded, having j i been greeted with a salute at the start, j Commander Booth-Tucker spoke '. | next and gave at some length some of ; \ the main principles which underlie the j ! work of the army and told of the ob- j i jects yet to be accomplished. He -itated i I that the Salvationists were students of I sociology; that instead of looking upon ! ! the social problems from above they I ! went to the bottom and looked up. He I i congratulated them upon what had | i already been done. The commander | j related some Instances In his travels, as well as figures regarding the world's j poor. "One-tenth of this world's pop- I ulation," he continued, "is estimated jas being in constant suffering and \ I hunger. It is time for thoughtful peo- i i pie to think this matter over and blot { j out this great disgrace. In this coun- I j try there are 85,000 criminals in prisons, I and for every one Incarcerated there | are nine others who either ought to be j | there or are on the way. There are > ; 330,000 paupers in the United States, j ■ and it costs $40,000 000 annually to pro i vide for them. Besides these there are I others who are in want, bringing up the total to nearly 4,000.000. "There are several principles which j must underlie the work of the Salva tion Army in order to attain success. j Among these are a systematic method j by which to deal with the poor and 1' the wicked, give the poor a chance to be self-suporting, a humane policy, and not only change the poor man's cir cumstances but also his character." The speaker then outlined some of the plans which are, being made for establishing farms fpr the poor near the large cities and-.th*^ large colony for refugees in Australia".' He spoke in favor of the Pingres plan and advo cated putting criminals- to work on farms, instead of, having, them come into competition with Tabor. In con cluding he told of tn l e* great good done in London and urged^the^army to con tinue its work. Maj. Gifford made a ftrong plea for con tributions for establishing a rescue home ln Minneapolis. He saidj-a pjpor workingman had already Donated -$$" to-.^tart with, and as it was necessary to have tetween $5,000 and $6,000, he urged a liberal contribution. A man in St. Paul had iirbinised $25 monthly, and he felt sure that an Institution could become largely self-supporting after being started. •»,' i ; The commander introduced^ to the audience the two Armenian refugees,, who had come with him. He related the!? stories of ter rible suffering" and hardship, and said he was trying to find homes for the 300 who had just arrived. He would be pleased to receive offers of work .for them, one man in South Dakota having offered to employ ten of them. Following this he read a part of. a letter telling about the last massacre, which oc curred Sept. 15. This was a terrible tale of cold-blooded murder and heartrending suffering. The meeting concluded with a col lection for the rescue home, and about $100 was realized. Further efforts will be made to secure the other necessary funds. Tomorrow the commander will hold a council at the army rooms, Washington av enue and First avenue south, at 10 a. m., 2 p. m. and 8. p. m. The laittcr will be the last meeting he will conduct here, after which the visiting officers will depart for their respective homes and the divisional band will make* a tour of Southern Michigan. MANTLE LOSES HIS VOTE. Montana Senator Thinks His Vote Is Not Needed. After making a stump of Michigan, Lee Mantle, United States senator from Montana, passed through Minneapolis yesterday. He will be unable to reach home in time to vote, but considers it unnecessary in a state which is con ceded to Bryan. He said tfiat he ex pected the total vote pf Montana to be less, that 50,000 of which he allows Maj. McKinley but 12,000. Regarding the general contest, he stated that Bryan would carry every state west of the Missouri, as well as Michigan. As to the other middle states, he could not speak except to state that Minnesota would cast a close vote, but Lind would be elected. He said tlaat large aud iences had greeted him i*n Michigan and said the people were interested. He expressed the opinion that both the presidential candidates were able, hon est, sincere men, cither of whom was qualified to be president. He regreted that, as a Republican, he found him self unable to vote for McKinley, who, he said, was wrong on the issue. Fur ther, he stated that if. the silverites were defeated by a close vote, they would immediately cotnmence the next campaign, but if they met with over whelming defeat, they could take It that there was no hope for their cause. FROM THE HOUSE-TOPS. Results of the Election to Be An nounced by .AVliistling. Through the courtesy of the Northern Steam ship company, the Twin City Rapid Transit company has secured a loan of the mammoth *steam whistle from the steamship "North Land," and will today place it on top of their Third avenue north and Second street power house, No. 1. The wh'stle in itself is as large as an ord'nary steam boiler, and, with the exception of its mate on the steamship "North West," it is the largest steam whistle in the United States, and can plainly be heard a distance of fifteen miles. The Twin City Rapid Trans't company is having placed in their office a special wire, and this whistle will, beginning tonight at 8 o'clock. Indicate to everyone within a radius of fifteen miles, by code signals, the results on the count for president. THE CODE OF SIGNALS. As fast as the returns are received the whistle will indicate in the following man ner: Returns favorable to "McKinley" • will be indicated by two sharp blows of the whistle; favorable tj> "Bryan," one prolonged, dole ful, dismal wail. These signals will be continued until the election of one or the other of the candidates Is assured. Should the general result's show the election of "Mt-Kinley," the whistling will consist of a prolonged series of sharp toots; and if the election of "Bryan" Is assured, a succession of prolonged, dismal wails.' As soon as the results for Minnesota are known, four sharp, quick whistles will in dicate that the state Is safe for "McKinley." If results show that the state of Minnesota, has gone for "Bryan," five doleful whistles will thus indicate. COULDN'T PAY THE $100. So Two North Dakotans Are Held Awaiting the fiheriff.

The belief in talismans is universal, a feeling truly catholic, for it has al ways prevailed, everywhere and among all races of men. There are savage tribes, no doubt, whose talismans have not been identified, but we may be a: tually certain that *s because our knowledge of them is not j-ufficiently minute, not because the things do not exist. For the belief is an instinct, im planted during those unrecorded ages when the human animal was struggling upward to the full c cr its reason. It reappears vrieiievr- c'vilized man engages in any i> irsuit cf absorbing interest where luck is all powerful, as in seeking gold, diamonds or treasure trove. One would scarcely find a dig ger in South Africa who had been for tunate without some object which he cherished— commonly a diamond of odd shape, but perhaps any bit of rubbish which caught his eye at some moment of triumph. If a man of intelligence and culture he would laugh at his own fancy, but he would not part with the thing. Diggers who were not for tunate mocked, but they fell into the groove fast enough when their luck changed. The police tell us that to find a bit i of coal in the pocket of a man arrested is sufficient proof for them that he be longs to the criminal class, living from day to day upon his wits, at the mercy of chance and in ceaseless fear of de tection. He does not ask how coal will bring him plunder and save him from the constable — he obeys an in stinct. The proportion of elderly and substantial citizens who do the like is not to be computed, but doubtless it Is large. The fact is that belief in talis mans descends, without a break, from fetishism. Sir John Lubbock defines that religion, so to call it, as "the stage In which man supposes that he can force the deities to comply with his de sires." It is not worth while to ridicule the notion, nor to ask how on earth a reasonable being could conceive that the possession of something he picks up upon the road— a pebble, a stick, a bit of twisted root — will give him power over the gods. It is beyond our under standing in this advanced age. After all his study and meditation, Sir John j Lubbock can only suggest that this j case is akin to the belief, also universal I in past times, that he who gets into his hands any object belonging to the ene my obtains authority over him. "The negro supposes that the possession' of a fetish representing a spirit makes that spirit his servant." Obviously, however, this is not all the explana tion needed. For in most cases the fet ish is not made, but natural— a thing picked up, as we have said. The ques tion seems to be a mystery insoluble now. But.it was intelligible at a cer tain stage in human progress, since all mankind believed in fetishes once, and, in a measure, do still, under the form of talismans. The most famous of them perhaps in authentic history — for we have no space for fables— is that discovered in the tomb of Charlemagne at Aix la Cha pelle. We never met with a clear rec ord of its adventures.. The story goes — almost contemporary — that the em bassador of Haroun-ai-Raschid made it for the wife of Charlemagne to keep her husband's love forever. For this purpose it proved triumphant! v success ful—we have left the domain of his tory now. When the lady died Charle magne could not allow her to be buried j until his confessor, guessing where the j difficulty lay, removed the talisman. Forthwith the priest rose in favor — became archbishop of Mayence ana im perial chancellor. Thinking Lis promo tion enough he threw the unhallowed object into the Lake of Nigelheim. ln | stantly Charlemagne began to raise a j palace on the bank, plundering Ra venna to adorn it, nor would he quit j the lake until the chancellor dragged it and recovered the talisman. By what token this legendary treasure was rec ognized in the emperor's grave we can not tell, unless a description exists. It is round, of the finest gold, with two rough sapphires in the middle, and other gems, the town of Aix la Cha pelle presented it to Napoleon 1., who presented it to Fox, earl of Holland. Afterward it came into the possession of Napoleon 111., and still exists, no doubt. Dr. Dee's talisman is also historic and also survives, ln the British Mu seum. In November, 1582. Dr. Dee I was praying, when, In a blaze of light | the archangel Uriel appeared, and I smiling gave him a ball of stone, pol ; ished black— very like a piece of coal. i tc fact. Therewith Dr. Dee summoned angels when he would, and they gave him valuable information. But the worst of it was that he could not often understand, and never could recollect what they told him. "It Is very rare." says he in his biography, "yea, even in our days, for any operator or master to hear angels speak articulately. When they do speak it is like the Irish— much in their throat." That expression, "Yea, even in our days." i invites a commentary. But to receive | daily communications of the utmost ; interest which one can rarely interpret j and never remember must be terribly I trying for a magician in the long run. ; Dr. Dee confided his troubles to a eer | tain Kelly, who, familiar with the Irish mode of speaking, understood the angels perfectly, and what is more, transcribed their remarks. But most people know what singular results, un comfortable for poor Dr. Dee, followed that association. Several talismans survive in Scotland. Sir Walter Scott had one called the Toadstone, which he prized. He said it had been pre served in the family, unnamed, from whom he got it. for several genera ; tlons, often pledged for considerable i sums, and always redeemed. Stew art of Ardvarlich possesses a crystal. j renowned in ages more picturesque j through lower Perthshire; even water , in which it had been dipped brought j luck. The Campbells ' of Barbreck l have or had "Barbreck's bone," a flat | piece of ivory not less efficacious. And the "Lee penny," now possessed by Lockhart of Lee, Is world famous. The owner in 1650 was indicted by the synod of Glasgow for witchcraft. Who has not heard of the "Luck of Eden hall," upon which the fortune of the Musgraves depends? It is a pretty Rneclmen of Saracenic glass, perhaof brought home by a crusading Mus grave.

A Nervous Disease Which is not Pe culiar Even to Brooklyn People. New York Sun. "Urn," said the doctor as he thumped his patient. "Trolley heart. Live in Brooklyn?" "Yes," said the man eagerly. "Must I move out?" "No," replied the physician, "it isn't quite as bad as that." "But," Insisted the man, "I wouldn't call that bad. In fact, I'd rather like to have trolley heart if It made somebody tell me I ought to move out of Brooklyn." "No," said the doctor again. "I guess you'll be able to stand It a wh'le longer. Trolley heart Isn't really a cardiac ailment. It is more of a nervous affection. The patient is in no danger of dying, although ln a serious case his health may be affected ln a distress ing manner. The gravest danger to be appre hended is that it may develop into some form of nervous dyspepsia or neuraesthenia. when it might take a long time to cure. Perfect rest is what the nerves need." "Then," said the man, "perhaps I'd better move after all." "No," said the doctor. "Trolley heart is rather an indication that the nervous system is a leetlc out of gear than an ailment by Itself. All you need is to have your nervous system toned up a bit. You see, it comes from running the trolley ears at full speed one minute and stopping them short the next minute, and keeping up that alternation for a ride of two or three miles. The worst time for it is the rush hours at night. Then all the cars are behind time, and the motormen are trying to catch up to the time table and everybody is in a hurry to get home, and a group of people are standing on every corner waiting to get on the car. The motorman starts the car at full speed and the sudden rush forward cause 3 a shock to the nervous center, about the pit of the stomach, which makes a sudden effort to adapt itself to tha situation. Then, just as soon as the nerves have been regulated to top speed they re ceive another wrench as the motorman £toip3 the car short to let more passengers on. Thus there is a sudden strain, a sudden re laxation, and then another wrench on the nerves. It's like catching a boy by the scruff of the neck and shaking the life out of him. Apply this quick alternation of sudden start ing and sudden stopping to a man whore nerves all day have been at high tension at his work and you get a wreck. The proper way for a man to go horns after his work is calmly, evenly, smoothly, not by starts and jerks. "That's the way trolley heart Is started. I have a patient who was the best father and husband in the world until- they put ln the trolley. After a year of it he was attacked with trolley heart, and when he'd get home at. night he'd be in such a state of nervous irritation that his family couldi 't stand him, and his wife was seriously thinking of .suing for divorce." "Say." said the man. "I dent want to run no such risk, even If I have to move from Brooklyn." "Not a hit of it." returned the doctor, charging his patient $5. "I've cured him and I'll cure you. After a man's been shaken up ln this way for a while the nervous derange ment affects the action of his heart, and the first thing he knows his heart begins to go a-thumplng and a-thumping, till he gets frightened and rushes off to his doctor, like a wise man. That's how It comes to be called trolley heart. A trolley car oughtn't to be al lowed to run fast when It's taking a lot of tired men home o' nights. Smoke much.? Yes. And drink strong coffee? Yes. Well, let up on smoking a bit and drink your coffee half or two-thirds milk, and take this tonic and you'll do." The Foreign Mail. New York Tribune. A considerable saving of time will be ef fected by the new method of discharging and distributing foreign malls which is to go Into operation on the Ist of August. After that date fast tugs will meet the mall steamers at Sandy Hook and receive the mails, which will be assorted on the tugs and distributed to the various railroads with out passing through the New York postofflce. New York will continue to be the great re ceiving point for foreign mails, but a gain of several hours, it is believed, will be made in sending them over the country. Every gain of this kind is appreciated by the people at large, and especially by the business com munity. -^tt» An Extreme Case. Puck. Friend— Was he very much intoxicated, Colonel?

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.— The public must be prepared for a later service on to morrow's election than usual. It will be borne in mind that hitherto in presi dential elections New York has been a pivotal state, and that the polls closed there at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the telegraphic facilities were of the high est order, and the difference in time between that city and the West enabled the Associated Press to practically de termine the result of the election be fore midnight. This year interest will center chiefly in states west of the A' leghanies, and particularly in states west of the Mississippi. Much of the advantage of time is lost. As a rul-3 the polls will close at a later hour, and the telegraphic facilities are compara tively limited. In the State of Illinois there is a provision for amending the state constitution, and in Chicago an other for the issue of local bonds, both of which, under the law, must be counted first, and this will necessarily involve some delay. It is needless to say that every effort will be made to prosecute the work as rapidly as pos sible, but the limitations above indi cated exist, and it is as well that they should be understood.
