Oregon, Colorado and Nevada are believed to have been carried for the People s narty, which also lays claim to Kansas,, If there has been a rift anywheire in the solid South it has been in the States of Delaware and West Virginia, which are so close that it •, n ot safe to say whether or not chev have . remained with the Democrats. A partial showing of the vote of Massachusetts leaves it doubtful. Gov. Russell, the Democratic Chief Magistrate, has apparently secured re-election.

SUMMARY OF THE STATES. How the Election Has Gone in North. South. East and West. From the telegraphic reports received up'to the time this page was printed the result in the different Slates is summa-rized-as follows: Indiana—Returns are too meager to base any estimate of-the result upon. Gains are rejor: cd- for Harrison m Mar.on County, but the State Is in doubt. ... „ „ Tile Democrats claim Connecticut by2,(X.'0 1 add the Republicans make no claims. lowa is Republican by about 10,too plurality. Democrats do not claim the State. Ko figures are received from Congressional districts, Wisconsin ■> reported to have gone for Cleveland by 10,000 plurality. The result in Kansas is quite uncertain, with jirtipations pointing to the success of the. Weaver electoral ticket. Republicans claim he Wate, however, ami Jt will require the ■on'Dleto returns to decide. Simpson has probably been defeated. Other Congressional results are it! dpubt. Vermont giveS Harrison a plurality. The vote on both sides li&s fallen off. Colorado, while casting a close vote, has proßabiy chosen Harrison Electors, as also have Montana and Oregon. Maine will give Larrwou a plurality of about Idaho is close, with both l-'usionists and Republicans claiming a i 'ctory. lilinois-The Indi au .n, are that Cleveland will have a pliirulitvJti Cook County of 25.i> “ to 30,000 and A.ltgeld about the same.

TAKEN TOO LITERALLY. How a Girt Very Uk«>y Lout n Proposal of Marriage. “Von cannot always take your own medicine or even be measured by your own rtandards," nald n woman recently ‘ who prided herself upon being exact and systematic in all things, and who could enjoy n joke, even at her own expense. “1 was at a reception not so many years ago,” she eald rather demurely, “ami was playing upon the piano to entertain a small group of friends when a man who had shown me considerable attention suddenly Interrupted me by asking; ’lt you wore very much interested in a young woman, what considerations would prevent you from asking her to marry you?’ “V.’ert, I, of course, was somewhat | taken aback, not being in tho mood for : a seene right then and there, turned I mound mil answered, ‘Well, 1 never should propose to a woman 1 have met only at receptions and in com) any. I should make it a point to cull upon her s’, all e-irts of unexpected times, to see how she looked at home in the morning, whether she wont about in an old wrapper with dishevelled hair and slipshod, whoth r she helped her mother, or lolled aboui reading novels ffntil noon. A man I makes a great mistake when he takes if | for granted that the woman he admires possesses all the domestic virtues in the calendar, and is always attra dive and amiable. In fact,” she added, "I gave him a lot’g lo< ture on the subject, for which he th inked me. “1 may ad 1 that I never met tho man again. Nox’t morning, contrary to my usual custom, I slept until nearly noon, coming down to a 12 o’clock breakfast, "Mr. H had already called three i times.” A Representative German Woman. The Empress of Germany is one ol the youngest-looking women of her age in Germany. Her color Is excellent, and her cheeks are as rosy as those of a peasant girl. Although not strictly beautiful, shells , large, fine-looking 1 woman, with an expressive face, large blue eyes, a straight nose, and an extremely winsome smile. lu the ordinary Sense of the term, she does not look aristocratic or majestic, but she is an ideal example of the German woman and mother. Her majesty is now about 33 years old. She was a princess of Schleswig-Holstein, and is a niece of that princess who marine I Prof. Esmarsch, of the University of Kiel. The Professor was not ennobled until a fewyears ago, so that the German Empress was the nie'e of a man bearing no title whatever. Tne Professor and his wife spent some time in this country a few year.- ago. He was once c > i lered one of the hands most men in er ::any. ■ A Mechanical Patil. Th eis only one Patti, and the question is wii! there ever be another? A ban 1 of . meriean speculators say yes—bu no. a living one'. They are going to construct a dead Patti that can sing as well as the living one. It is to l ea life-sized wax doll, which by means of clockwork macliinery, is to be rendered capable of walking on to a j la form, remaining there for a stated period, making certain gracious gesticulations, retiring, reappearing again and i urtsying, and finally withdrawing with a pleased smile. Inside the mechanical Patti will be a powerful phonograph, the “records" for which have already been prepared. The spe uiators haye sent men, armed with recording phonographs, to all tire great at which the real Patti has lately sung, and they declare that they can now command the real Patti's voice. Ladies, This Is for You! “I want a large sheet of black courtplaster,” said a young woman at a notion counter the other day, “which,” she proceeded to explain to a friend at her side, “is my chief mending implement. I always mi nd gloves with court-plas-ter, using biack or light tints according to the shade of the glove. I turn the glove inside out and fit the plaster over the rent, first, of course, drawing the edges together as a surgeon does a torn ! skin. It is much neater than sewing and lasts longer. Sometimes I get an ugly ihroo-eornered rent in a gown. My court piaster case mends' the rent, leaving practically no indications of it. I mend fans, slippers, lace—everything, almost, with it.” , A Globe of jHo.lil and Jewels. The Shah of Persia has the richest collection of gold an . silver ornaments, with p.eeious sfones, known. The famous Hall of tho Treasures contains a large table and twelve ehairs, all covered with a chain work of gold. Among the richest objects is a marvelous globe, in massive gold; the pedestal and meridian are also in gold, set with .rulii- s; the equator is marked by a row of large diamonds, tie- contours of thedifferent parts of the'world are traced out in rubles, except Persia, which has its boundaries marked with Iprge diamonds; the seas uro represented by large emeralds. The Earth's Weight WiJghin? tho earth is a problem which has often interested and amused scientists, and various efforts haye been made to determine wi h some degree of accuracy the probable approximate weight of the glebe on which we live. In 1772 a Series of curious experiments were made by Prof. Maskelyno, in Mount Sehihaliion, in Scotland, by which hp determined that taking the diameter of the earth as 7,912.41 miles and the weight of a cubic foot of water as’(>2,32 pound-, the weight of the earth was 5,812.fmi),0im.000,090,000,000 toas of 2,240 poun Is each.
