HKTURN8 AT WASHINGTON.

;hicf Interest Centered In Congres

sional Districts. In Washington intense Interest was

nanifested in the election returns. The

esults of the various State and Cougres-

donal district campaigns, to which so nuch attaches in WasKngton, attracted

housands to the bulletin boards in from

if the newspaper offices. The theaters md clubs received bulletins. The two Congressional headquarters had special

s-ires nnd long distance telephone service

lor those who were figuring up the r--

itilt of the battle for the control of the text House of Representatives.

Many of tbe cabinet officers and higher

fficiais of the government had gone hon e

o vote, and owing to the absence of the

'resident, who traveled to Ohio to deposit

lis ballot, there was not the brilliant gath-

ring of political notables at the White

Souse which has assembled there freItiently upon similar occasions in the past. Hut the returns were received at the Vhite House and closely tabulated. The

hief interest, of course, centered In the

omplexion of the next House. Legistsion during the coming two years, sup-

ort of the administration, and many iiundreds of offices were involved in the

esult, and the returns from the close dis

tricts were eagerly scrutinized uy tne

The former President was in tho booth

3nly B few moments.

On the previous occasion much trouble was experienced in operating the machines, but this time there was no trouble whatever. It required just half 1 minute to vote a split ticket on tbe machines and but a couple of seconds to vote a straight ticke:. The polls wero dosed nt 5 o'clock, and a half hour later !he result of the vote in the entire city a-as known in the newspaper offices.

Kansas, The Republicans made a sweep in Kansas, electing seven of the eight Congressmen. Thin is a gain of five Republican Congressmen. The Republican State ticket is elected by from 6,000 to 10,000 majority. Before the farmers were heard from. Republicans conceded victory to the fusionists. Leaders of both parties arc unable to nccount for the heavy Republican gains throughout the agricultural dis

tricts.

This gives the Republicans fifty-sis majority on joint ballot. Colorado. The entire fusion State ticket, headed by Charles S. Thomas, Dem., for Governor, is elscted by a majority approximating about 50,000. This is by far the largest majority ever given a candidate for Governor in Colorado.

Each surveying party is accompanied by men who are boring at intervals of every rod to the depth of thirty feet to determine tbe character of the geological formation. The result of each test is carefully preserved and properly labeled, so that the commission will be able to report the character and expense of the work of excavation for every rod of each route. After the field work has been concluded

the commission will begin the preparaLon of its data and report, an uiiU'rlaking of considerable magnitude. This will require.

it is estimated, about thirteen niuli. that the report will not he submitted to

the War Departmen until unout Jan. 1,

$255,000 of its appropriation of io.ihsi

for the fiscal year ending June irj.

The work is being curried 011 at the rate of about $28,000 a week. It is estimated

that $435,000 will be required to complete the surveying -project, and Congress will therefore "be asked to pprotriate $150,000 to be expended after Jane 30, 1809.

WATER SCARCE IN UTAH. Rait Lake Is Lower Nov; than It Hns Ever Been Before. Just now the people of Utah are somewhat alarmed over the low water. For many years the lake has been fulling, nnd on account of the small snowbanks left in

the canyons of the mountains last winter it is now lower than ever. No abstruse

explanation is necessary to account for the

drop in Salt lJike. It is ten ny seven streams, and evaporation is the only outlet. As population increases in the valley, more and more water for irrigation is de4

vinted from these feeders, while the evap-

nrntion from the enormous area, 12,000

square miles, covered by shallow water, of which this lake consists, goes on as be

fore the days of irrigation. Man is also encouraging this evaporation in the pro

duction of salt, which is carried on exten

sively. The water is let into great hollow

basins along the shore, miKie ror mat pur.

Those Girls at Golden,

Bvorybody knew that tlio uoiaens

couldn't get a girl to stay, or one that would suit thorn if she would stay. That was the family worry from January to

December bow to secure competent heln. A few girls stayed tbe month

out, some only half a month, the majority n week or less and there bad

been known cuses where tne gin leit

wore linrtl people to get along with. Mr. and Mrs. Golden were nice, quiet people of nn wisy-golng nature, and the two daughters were Just as affable and

good 11a lured ps any two girls In the city. Young George Golden was rare

girls nt nil. The family always proviaed a good table nnd paid fair wages for help, while the house was not so large as to frlgliteu a girl accustomed to n

reasonable amount of work.

But inside of twelve months Ihe Gol

den family had hnd English, Welsh,

Scotch. Irish, Dutch, Danish, sweties, Norwegians nnd colored cirls. Those

that weren't luz.v were dirty or cheeky

Tlie HntrliKli girl was found by Mrs.

Golden stretched at full length on the

pitrlor lounge reading a cheap novel, while her work remained untouched

around her. The Scotch girl had such

a thiol; brogue that It Impeded her ut

terniK-e and made it almost Impossible for ber to be understood. The Welsh

girl was addicted to drink, nnd the Irish

girl was decidedly too familiar and act

ed as If she was mistress of the bouse

The Danish girl didn't speak English at

all. Tho Swedes broke almost everything

In the house. Including a few command

ments, and t!ie two Norwegian girii were lacking In neatness of appearand

and general cleanliness. As for tne in

numerable colored girls that hna neei employed by the Golden family, tbej were in the aggregate lasy, dirty.

cheeky, parsimonious In the matter oi the truth, and generous In the dlspen

their relatives and friends. The great cardinal virtue In the Gol

den household wan scrupulous cleanli

ness, and had that been the prominent

characteristic of any one of the gir It Is likely that her other shortcomings would have been overlooked and that she might have stayed in tho position. As It was, however, the only two of the entire bunch that kept the house even passably clean were slow and always behind with their work. One day Mrs. Golden returned home from the "Intelligence" office by the way, why on earth do they call these headquarters of Ignorance "Intelligence offices!"--In quite a flutter of excitement. "I do believe," she declared, as she took off her hat and wrap, and seated herself In her favorite armchair, "I do believe that I have secured the right girl at last" "Yes, we have heard that very often before," remarked her husband, complacently; "they are always the 'right kind of girls until they get here, nnd then they turn out wrong." "But this one Is really different from all the others," said Mrs. Goldt;n. "Different In what appearance,

manners or accomplishments? Ts It 5m-

nosslblc for her to oversleep lwrself In

tbe morning, burn the toast, or tell a lie? Doesn't she break crockery, give cheek, or read novels? Is she fonder of work than of gossiping, or what

kind of a freak Is she?"

"She's Just a plain, ordinary-looking girl, but she's an American first American we have had yet, remember,

Joseph, and she looks clean, moves quickly, and talks welL She wants $20 a month, which shows that she has a

bleb appreciation of her own worth,

"Oh, they all have that none of them are too modest in their claims of what

they can do. Twenty dollars Is a mere

bacatelle if she is worth it, but we

have not bad a girl yot that was worth

half of It." . "Well, she's coming this nfternoon

hnd we'll see how she gets on. For my

rart I believe the girl will give com

nlete satisfaction to us all. I believe I

have captured a new gem at last!" "What's her name?" "Annie Rooney." "Good gracious!"

Sure enough Annie Rooney assumed

her new duties In the Golden household

that afternoon, and somehow there

was that In her appearance which in

spired confidence in every member of

the family as soon as tney saw ner.

At the table she was a jewel. Little,

netire. alert swift to see what was

wanted aud quick to supply It, she had earned the admiration of all before the

evening meal was over. - She was up early In the morning, lighted the 8ro noiselessly, started breakfast on the way. and then commenced to clean the

kitchen and everything in it; as she ex

pressed It, the place "wasn't Ut to ne

seen with dirt."

"TouAnh said Mrs. Golden to ber

husband, shortly after breakfast, "An nip, has gone to do the up-stairs work,

and I Just want you to com down and

look nt her kitchen."

Mr. Golden softly followed his wife down stairs, and the patr quietly tip

toed Into the kitchen. The greasy,

irvlmv look on the waUs had disappear

ed, the paint looked fresh and clean. The tin aud agate ware shone brightly, as did all the metal work about the

stove and kitchen sneives, tne ctock-

ery dresser glittered and glistened in the morning sunlight, the linoleum on

tho floor wris spotlessly clean.

"There's her morning's work before breakfast," said Mrs. Golden. "I wonder bow ever she did It in the time?" "Here's tlit- answer," replied her husband, sententlously, as he pointed to a package that stood near tho sink. "The girl Is a gem, as yon said, my dear-

she uses Sapolio." "But I should think it would take time " "My dear, Annie Rooney evidently knows the difference between time and Sapolio." "What do yon mean, Joseph?" "Time, mv dear, was made for slaves

"I really don't know, my dear," calmly replied the heartless wretch, "but I'm Inclined to think I would be a bachelor." ' Unshaken Confidence, "It's always pretty safe to Judge a man by the company he keeps." "Oh, I don't know. There are excep lions. My Uuclo John's business makes it necessary for him to associate with aldermen a good deal and still I'd trust him with every dollar I've got In the world." A Dearth of Game.
