WHO IS TO BLAME?
The election in Virginia last ".Tuesday
resulted in a sweeping victory for De?
mocracy, both as to the State at large
and for members of the legislature. In
view of the divisions in the ranks of the
Republicans, and the almost utter ab?
sence of organization on the part of those
opposed to the errors and inequalities of
Democratic rule, this might have been
expected.
A result of uninterrupted .control in
State and local affairs, bossism and ring
rule flourished in the Democratic party
to a degree which [disgusted honest and
independent votjrs everywhere to such an
extent that only organized efforts and
determined opposition to 'existing meth?
ods seemed possible to overthrow such
unscrupulous combinations and bring
about a healthful chauce in the conduct
of affairs.
The injustice of the present election
machinery of the State hail aroused the
determined opposition of "a largo class of
intelligent and fair-minded men who saw
in the unfairness of such practices u se?
rious danger to the well-being of all
classes of the people.
In the'election just concluded the Dem?
ocratic party has triumphed both as to
the contest for State officers and members
of the legis'ature. The Republican vote
was particularly light, "both in regard to
the former and the latter, even where in?
dependent candidates were iuduced to
enter tho lieldlwitb the promise of Re?
publican support. In this district, espe?
cially, where all tho conditions were
favorable for the success of such candi?
dates, they were defeated, not so much
from superior organization on the part of
their opponents as from tho apathy of
their supposed friends. In other"jwords,
the men who by all the principles of grat?
itude should have gone to the polls and
voted for McClanahan and Hartwell, as'a
rule remained at home and allowed the
election to go by default, as the official
count will show.
HER LAST PRAYER.
Dramatic Death of a Salvation Army
Slum Officer.
Chicago, Nov. 3.?Capt. Pauline
Schearil, a slum officer of the Salvation
Army, died under most dramatic circum?
stances this morning at Dr. Dowie's
Zlon. For two hours before liar death
she w as unable to speak loud. She mo?
tioned for paper and peucil. and when
they were brought to her she began writ?
ing her last prayer. She wrote: "I hope
sou's may bo saved through my death.
Then the pencil fell from her fingers
and she lay back on her pillow and died.
Miss Schearil was a victim of lung trou?
ble. Her home was at Philadelphia.

the Academy.
costume effects "and with a lot of ro?
mance surrounding the hading charac?
ter. Such plays as "Under the Red
Robe," "Rosemary" and "The Prisoner
of Zenda" have been liked and apprecia?
ted as much by older theatre-goers as by
the younger generation, and to use a pop?
ular expression, "There is nothing new
under the sun," the stage world seems to
be revolving in its career to that point
which at one time was famous for what
is now known as the costume drama.
M". Lackaye thoroughly realizes and
fully appreciates this eviden' trend in
the public taste for a change from the
more modern society piny to that of the
romantic and costume period of the
drama. It is over these plays that our
grandfathers have dwelled upon in relat?
ing what they have remembered and liked
best in the drama. So it i& that the
younger generation is now falling into
their footsteps, and shows n stronger ap?
preciation of these plays than of any oth?
ers. Mr. Lackaye hopes'that in present?
ing "The Royal Secret" he will meet
with a cordial response on the part of the
theatre-goers. The period in French his?
tory in which Louis XIV figures conspic?
uously has been extensively drawn upon
by the authors of Mr. Lacknye's play,
and there will be found situations of
thrilling dramatic interest, as well as
those in which the romance of love plays,
perhaps, the most Important part. "The
Royal Secret" will be seen at Academy
to-night.
TAMMANY'S TRIUMPH.
Democratic Rosses Made a Sweep of
Greater New York.
New York, Nov. 3.?Tammany's vic?
tory In the first municipal election in
Greater New York is a sweeping one.
Vai Wyck has polled a vote which falls
possibly -lO.O'lO under the combined votes
of General Tracy, Republican, am? Seth
Low, Citizens' Union.
The latter was successful to the extent
ot polling an aggregate vote in excess of
the 140,000 pledges implied by the signa?
tures to the petlti in upon which he be?
came the candidate of an independent
movement, which at the outset offered
to join bauds with the Republican party
organisation in a concerted effort to ex?
clude TaniniHtiy~'rom power in the
greater city to come into being on Jan?
uary Ii, 180H, with a popu'ntiou the sec?
ond in magnitude of the great cities of the
wo?"ld.
The offer was declined on the ground
that In such a movement the Republican
organization would participate only coin
j chieutly with the other party to the com?
pact, and the Citizens' Union, on the
other hand, refused to recall Its nomina?
tion of Mr. Low in order that the form of
selecting ncandidnteVuigbt becairied out
conjointly with the Republican organiza?
tion.
The Democrats carried every countv in
the borough of Greater New York. Van
Wyck, the Tammany candidate, will be
the lirst mayor of tbi consolidated city,
lie is elected for a term of frnr years by
a plurality of 10,452 votes. The Demo?
cratic countv and iiorough tickets ivere
elected by a large plurality. The Demo?
crats will control the municipal assembly
by a majority of four-fifths on joint bal?
lot. The total vote is: Van Wyck, 250,
31)0; Low, 147,138; Tracy, 102,805.

Committee Will Say an Armor Plant is
Impracticable.
Washington, Nov. 3?It is said on good
authority ttat the special naval board
which has b*en investigating the ques?
tion as to the advisability of establishing
a government armor plate factory has
reached the conclusion that such an idea
is impracticable.
It is further stated that in the event
the government finds that It cimnot make
satisfactory terms with the great armor
plate concerns for the armor plate, the
board will recommend, if Congress seeks
their opinion, t hat the Government pur?
chase one of the factories outright.
The board will not make any recom?
mendations as to the alto for the pro?
posed factory, if it finally bo decided to
establish one.

A GIRL SCULPTOR.
Knld Yandell, of Kernt uoky. If as Won Kama
by Hi t Dc-sign*.
It is an lndlsputed fuct that nothing
has ever so developed the art. Indus?
tries and talents of American women
as have the woman's department of
the Chicago world's fair, the Cotton
States and International exposition
and the Nashville Centennial.
By having buildings exclusively de?
voted to woman's work, a dignity and
distinction hits been given it that en?
couraged the efforts of all ambitious
women, and in every line of work in
which they are associated there seems
to be a new life given. Especially to
the works of art among women has
impetus been given, and the woman s
department of the Tennessee Centen?
nial gives patriotic recognition to the
women of that State who are deserv?
ing in their developments of art and
industry.
MISS lA'in TAN'PF.t.t..
Among the most Interesting features
!n the woman's building is the ligur
een of the beautiful Mis. Van Leer
Klrkman, president of the woman's
department. It is the work of Miss
Euid Yandell, the sculptor, and among
the most talented of the young
artists in the country. The ar?
tistic beauty of the flgureen has at?
tracted enthusiastic criticism from
those capable of judging, and Miss
Yandell is meeting with the compli?
ments and attentions thaUare the just
tributes to genius.
Miss Yandell is a Kr-ntucky girl,
and at the Columbian exposition she
was first recognized as posse-sing ex?
ceptional talent, and her work dis?
played there in the sculptured figures j
was the admiration of the sightseers|
that made a study of the manifold
beauties of the woman's building
The figure of the East Indian at prayet
was pronounced by renowned att
critics to be one superb in conception.
A like mead of praise was given her
Daniel Hoone. Now it has lemalned
for Miss Yandell to accomplish some
thing wholly new in the line of Bculp
tare. She has lately unveiled the "fig
ureen," which represent.- in sculpture
what a miniature dors in portraiture.
The popularity of the "figureen" ha;
been wide and immediate.

Are you satisfied with a desire tc
"got on?" Is a woman's college the goal
of your ambitions? If you are, and U
it is, you probably have "Americani

prompts the fanner's daughter to ge*
a college education and make oapor
(unities for herself better than thost
her mother and father had before
her. Therefore, she goes to a smal
college in a small town with a prepar?
atory department attached, where she
often begins her education as a "junior
prep." She furnishes a single room
In which she, and often a room mato
study, sleep, eat. make their clothe;
and somotlme3 do their laundering
She keeps up in her studies, Jo ns a
choral class, a literary society and the
Young Women's Christian Association
goes to chapel once every day and|
twice on Sunday, and very often falls!
in love and "gets engaged" besides. At
the beginning of her senior year she
breaks down. That is the least she
could be expected to do under such
