REPUBLICANS CARRY OHIO.

STiffurea Now In Show Twenty-Two Oat of the Twenty-Threw Electors Were Elected. Columbus, O., Nor. 10. Both the Democratic ana Republican State headquarters were closed to-day, and those who have been searching for otlicial information as to whether Ohio has politically reversed terselX went to their homes for a day'a rest. 'When the Republican quarters closed, last night, they had received official information from all tho counties, Hamilton being the last, which shows a plurality in the State for Taylor, Eepublican. of 1.054 and Danford, head of the electoral ticket, of 8,723. Danford runs several thousand ahead of the other Republican electors and Seward, the head of the Democratic electors, runs four or five thousand ahead of his colleagues on the ticket. The general opinion is that Seward will be elected by defeating the elector who receives the smallest number of votes on the Republican ticket. The figures received np to date undoubtedly show that the Republicans will save their State ticket, elect twenty-two of the twenty-three electors and ten of the twenty-one Congressmen. The Democratio committee claim the official count will show who is elected or defeated. Eighteen counties made official returns to tho Secretary of the State today, but three of the counties were returned for corrections. This makes a total of thirty-six counties which have sent in their returns. A comparison of the abstraots vriththe official returns sent to Chairman Dick show but slight changes in eleven of the eighteen counties. The net gain for Taylor, Democrat, was forty-live, and as Dearly half the counties have been received officially, it can be seen that the fluctuations are not sufficient to crt a very great figure in the result. Deducting the forty-five irom Taylor's estimated plurality of 1.054 it still leaves him a plurality of 1,000. In the thirty-six counties, Dan ford's total vote is 113,624. and the other Republican! electors received 112.795. showing a gain for Danford of 629. Eeward. Pern., received a total vote of 119,2'. 6, and the other Democratio electors received 119.159, showing a gain of 837 for Reward. This indicates that eight more Democrats blundered in voting than Republicans. Carpenter, the head of the electoral ticket ot tho People's party, received, 4,242 votes in the thirty-six counties, liedkey. Prohibition elector at the bead of the ticket, received 8,209. These figures indicate that the People's party ha sot polled more than half as many votes in the State as last year, and that the Prohibitions have Kade the least number of mistakes in votig. KANSAS A WET STATE AGAIN. The Prohibition Laws TV 111 Be Resolved Into Simple JLocal Option. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 13. Two surprising results of the election in Kansas which have np to this time escaped general notice are beginning to attract universal attention throughout. One is the carrying of the proposition to hold a constitutional convention and the other is the cessation of the prohibitory laws. In their eagerness to elect their State and electoral ticket the Republicans generally paid no attention to the matter of the constitutional convention and it carried by default on their part. The majority in favor of it is much larger than the third pnrty majorities. The object of the constitutional convention is the revision of the state Constitution so as to eliminate objection, able and obsolete features, and to add new and needed provisions to the old instrument. The anti-prohibitionists of all parties intend to attempt the elimination from the Constitution of the prohibition amendment, and the hottest kind of a light on that question is anticipated. Lorenzo D. Welling, the new third party Governor-elect vras originally a Democrat before he joined the farmers' movement, and as such has always been opposed to prohibition. Ho has claimed, and still claims, that prohibition as practiced in Kansas has been a farce, that it has not prohibited, and that the laws for its enforcement have plaoed in the hands of the party in power an intluence which has been basely utilized against the opposition, and often in the way of discrimination against opposition localities. For this reason the new Governor announces that tho enforcement of the laws must hereafter be left with the looal officers, and that the State will not use the power in its hands to enforce the law in localities. In other words, he ays such localities as desire to enfore prohibition can do so under the general law, and that those who do not desire its enforcement will not be made to enforce it by the State. In efiect.this moans local option, and already the liquor industry throughout the State has taken a boom, in Fort Scott, where the law has been rigorously enforced, numerous saloons have commenced business. In Wichita the old "joint'' have been moved from dark alleys and rear upstairs rooms to the main streets and down itairs. Saloons have opened in many other towns, and Kansas to-day is practically a wet State again. TO ADOLI91I FOREIGN MINISTRY. A New York Paper Springs a Point for the Democratic Administration. 1 New York, Nov. 15. The Herald will tomorrow advocate the abolition of our foreign ministry. In the course of its article the Herald says: " 'Some day a great political party will take up this question seriously and make itself famous by wiping out useless and cumbersome diplomatio aervice from the face of the earth.' It was the prophetio voice of James Gillespio Blaine which uttered this prediction some years ago to Congressman McAdoo, of New Jersey. Nearly $400,000 is speut in the mpty trappings of useless offices. Mors than a third of a million dollars each year sxpended by the United States government that its black-cloth men may dangle at the tail of a diplomatio kite. "The question of abolishing the diplomatio service and substituting a perfected consular service in its placo has long been favorably considered in Democracy-loring minds. Uutit was not alone Democratio minds which favored the step. Luminous minds in the Republican rank echoed the wish to see the great official Don Quixote unhorsed. Will the Democratic party see its opportunity and win lasting fame!" SEEKING FAT PLACES. Ewlng Want on the Supreme Bench and Owen Scott Is Hungry. Epecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

DAS ANOTHER HUSBAND. Fickle Jlsrgaret 51 at her Finds a Borneo in Millionaire Fabst's Young Eon. Milwaukee, Wis.,' Nov. 13. Society circles were startled by a report which spread like.wildfire that Gnstav Pabst, eldest son of Capt. Fred Pabst, president of the Pabst Brewing Company, bad been married at San Francnco to Miss Margaret Mather on Wednesday last. Captain Rabat admitted that he had been informed by his son of tho wedding, but declined to say anything further.

Two years ago Governor Peck appointed him colonel and aid-de-camp on his stall. Mr. Pabst bad gone to San Francisco, as was stated at the time of his departure. The marriage was evidently a secret one. Late to-night Captain Pabst said that he had been promptly Informed about the marriage by bis son, and that tho young couple were on their way Fast to Milwaukee. The marriage. Captain' Pabst said, was a surprise to him and his family, and not a particularly pleasant one. A dispatch from Los Angelei says: Margaret Mather was seen at her hotel to-day by a reporter and asked about her reported marriage to the son of the. wealthy Milwaukee brewer. Pabst. She said the report was absolutely without foundation, but that it was no surprise to her, as she had already been married several times, according to the stories circulated. OBITUARY. Ez-Jadge D.

LUXURY FOR IKDIAN TRINCES. The Gorgeous Palace Cars Which Have Been Imported for Them. Bombay Gazette. ?he glories of the Orient are not yet faded. Thete aro now three magnificent private saloon railway carriages beiui: reelected at the bom bar, liaroda & Central India railway workshops, Bombay, that must rival the completnuess and beauty of the special train built for his Imperial Highness Emperor William. The saloons are intended lor the use of nativo princes, and wore ordered Irom England. The car riages have cost about 70.003 rupees each, and undoubtedly are the most handsome, perfeet aud luxurious that have ever been brought into India. The extreme length of each of the carriages is sixty-threo feet, and the width ten feet four and a half inches. They are built for a gauge ot five feet six inches, and each carriage is borne on two fonr-wbeeled bogies made of patent pressed steel-plates. The vibration, even when traveling at a high rate of speed, is, on a well-con-atruoted road, consequently reduced to a minimum. The outside of each carriage is linisbcd in cream and cold. The roofs aro throughout double, with an air space between, and ingeniously constructed sunshades run the whole length of tbe sides, feuch arrangements are, of course, indispensable for comfort when traveling by rail in a hot climate, but to further insure a cool temperature each compartment is fitted with an ice-cooling tray let into the Uoor and covered with an ornamental grid. The lirst of the carriages is a women's ealoon, the principal compartments being a dining or drawing-room, nineteen feet six inches long, and a bedroom thirteen feet six inches in length. There is also a compact little bath-room, lavatories and servant' quarters. The saloon and bedroom are upholstered in blue silk and old gold, the most conspicuous article of furniture in tbe latter compartment being a highly ornamental brass bedstead and a beautiful dressing table. , The other two carriages are for men and are similarly constructed, there being, however, some modifications in the furniture and fittings. In ouo of them, for example, there is a 'small, but completely furnished, kitchen litted with a cooking stove, pantries, plate-racks, sink and all necessary utensils. In the other thero is a secretary's compartment, tit ted with a secretaire, etc. Tho large saloon in one of these carriages is upholstered in dark blue Russian leather and old gold and the other in areen and old gold silk. Heavy silk plush curtains, with deep handsome fringes hang all over the doors. Each saloon is also fitted with a coal lireplace, with bronze grate and tile hearth, and with a beautifully 'curved walnut chimney piece And overmantel. The scheme of decoration has been devised with great taste, and carried out with complete success. Tbe interior of the saloons and bedrooms is finished in black walnut, relieved with handsomely-gilded and decorated oak panels, at the intersections being maisive moldines of walnut, with carved paterae. The roof panels are of rolled sheet zine, enameled cream color and decorated and gilded in designs of singular lightness and graoe. Each window is fitted with an inside sunshade and dust frame, and over each is a ventilator in carved oak. The whole ot the metal fittings are either silver-plated or ot oxidized silver. Tbe cat riages are, moreover, lighted throughout by eleotric light, each carriage containing thirteen lamps of sixteen-candle power eaeb. Tbe power is obtained from specially adapted accumulators which will last for ten hours. The water for the baths and other purEoses is carried in large tanks suspended eneath the center Jof each carriage, from which it is pumped up when required. The general impression produced by the furnishing and decoration of the principal saloons is of great richness in etlect, but the work has been carried out with real artistic feeling and the too common fault of over-elabor.tte decoration has been altogether avoided. DESERTS OF THE FAR WEST. Travelers Who Cross Them Take Their Lives In Thair Hands. San Francisco Examiner. The fate of the Drcedlove party on the desert brings to my mind an experience of fifteen years or more in tho samo locality," said Grpve A. Johnson, an old pioneer. -iSincelb77 the old trails have been superseded by the Southern Pacilio railroad, lint three or four years ago prospectors ai:ain began docking into the country, and my experionco may be of use to some of them. "Forty-two years ago last May I crossed the desert with a party to build a ferry at the junction of the Gila and Colorado rivers. We left San Diego in the latter part of May, our party consisting of fifteen men, with ox teams and wagons, carrying, in addition to water and provisions, everything necessary to build and equip the boats. 1 crossed the desert four or five times that year during the hottest mouths, June, July, August and September. In tbe latter part of NovemberMajor lieintzleman arrived to establish Fort Yuma. After determining that the river was navigable for flat-bottomed boats, I began their construction, and for the next fifteen or twenty years I was acting as superintendent aud manager of the line of steamboats on tbe the Colorado. During that time 1 crossed tho desort lour or live times each year. ' "My experience has beeu this: Never travel in the day-time. Lay by at tbe waterboles during tbe hottest part of the day. and when the sun begins to lose its power leave for the next watering-place. "The next thing is the care of water. I used leather bottles, the leather naturally dressed, like buckskin, being tbe best lor tbe purpose., as it is stilliiently porous to permit of evaporation and thus keeps the contents cool, if tho bottles fall they do not break. If obliged to use a canteen, cover it with canvas lined with raw wool, and thoroughly soak it when tilled. The blanket covering is all right if you have sutUcient water to keep it wet. "The next consideration is provisions. Take a quart bag and till it with pinoie. Thin is made of parched corn or wheat, ground very line. Put a pouud of sugar in a separate bag and tie both to your saddlehorn. When thirsty take a pint cup of water, add a tablespoonfnl of sugar and enough of the piuole to thicken it to the consistency of soup. "Never drink water in the desert except in this way. an it not only acts as a food but neutralizes the etlect of tbe alkali in the water, and tho water will go four times as far. Tbe water on the desert is alkali, and taken in its native stato only increases thirst. "Tbe remainder of your provisions should consist of tea or colfee and pilot bread. Three or four days before starting cut some fresh beef into strips two or three inches wide and three-quarters of xn iuch thick. Hub in a very little salt and bang in the sun to cur. Take no salt or fat meats of any kin.i. and, abovo all. take no stimulants. Vov.r jerked beef, thrown on the coals, doen away with a trying-pan, and the quart-cup In which you boil your coflee is all the cooking utensil you will need. "Avoid traveling on wheels. For the legitimate prospector a burro is ample to pack all supplies, is patient, faithful, never etrays outside of camp, and can live on a grease-bush. A mau that cannot ride a mule or walk behind a burro has no business on the desert.7' Unmanly ftrethren. NewYork Commeri lal Aflvertlatr We cannot congratulate the Hon.

How the GoTcrouteot Detects Tbcm and 1'rotects the Public Boston Transmit. A story comes from Chicago to tbe effect that it was- discovered by the Assistant Treasurer of the United biatee Treasury in that city that out of one lot of $15,10.) in gold feeut to the collector of customs in payment of duties, there had been a loss of $1,UG5 by abrasion. These coins on their face were apparently all right, but ' tbe firm making the payment wns required to pay tbe difference between tne face value and the actual value. Tbia was a remarkable deficiency, being nearly 13 per cent., and showed that the coin had been tampered with, but so cleverly as to dej detection except by the use of scales. It is a common experience at the sub-treasury of this' city to rind light-weight coins, but never to anything like tbe extent mentioned above. Tbe standard of loss in value allowed is ouebalf of 1 per cent., and any coin falling below this is stamped "Light", with a steel die, withdrawn from circulation and sent to the mint for recoinage. This method of stopping circulation was introduced by Assistant Treasurer Kennard during his first term of otlice in the federal building, lie found a system In vogue which threatened to prove on expensive one for himself. Gold coins of ' short weight were received by tbe customs ofiiciala in payment of duties and by them sent to tbe sub-treasury. If tbe coins were sent to the Treasury Department the deficiency had to be made good by tho sub-treasury. If, on the other hand, Mr. Kennard returnod. as he had a right to do, tho coin to the customhouse, it would then be returned to the person who paid if, aud it was almost sure to got into circulation again. The process, of course, could be repeated indefinitely. It occurred to Mr. Kennard that a simple way to avoid this would bo to stamp tbe coins that fell below the standard "Light." which would effectually drive them out of circulation, lie was told that if be did anything of the kind he would lay himself liable to prosecution under the law which imposes a severe penalty fur tho mutilation of United States coins. But he decided to take the responsibility, had a steel dye made, and stamped as "Light" all the lightweight coins that came into the sab-treasury. Aggrieved business tnen reported tbe matter to the Treasurer of the United States, who. much to their chagrin, not only approved ot Mr. Kenn aid's plan, but ordered its adoption in all the sub-treasuries of the United State, liy this plan the number of light-weight coins are kept down to a minimum. Mr. Kennard believes that to keep the coin of the country np to tbe government standard of value, so that tbe innocent holders of worn-down coins shall suffer no loss by their abrasion tbrongh long periods of circulation, tbe government should call in all issues previous to a certain date, say 1SC0, and recoin them. Under the present system it is unavoidable that there must be many light coins in circulation, even though they are not tampered with. All tbe gold coins received at the subtreasury are carefully weighed. This is done by taking a coin of a certain denomination of the fall weight required by law and using it as a weight for testing, the others of the samo denomination. The coins that fall short of the oce-half of 1 per cent, allowance are stamped as light, and the others aro sealed iu canvas bags, on which their value is marked. When these are paid out the receiver is given an opportunity to count the contents of one bag. This is then used as a standard for weighing all the other bags required. which protects the public from the possibility of a stray light coin. One of the greatest sources of trouble are coins made light by the process of galvanism that is, subjecting them to an electric battery for tbe purpose of gilding or aivin a thin coating of gold to another piece ot metal. This removes the gold from the coin so evenly as to defy detection by the eye of any one but an exiert, and still leaves it so heavy that it cannot be taken out of circulation. Tbe government is alert in looking after frauds of this kind and it is a dangerous business to be engaged in. j UT12 LOVE-MAKING. Amid Savage Splendor tbe Maiden Selects Her Lltbe-Lloibcd Mate. G sir est on News. The Ute Indians have some very interesting customs for facilitating matrimony. Tney believe in much marrying aud airing in marriage, aud quite often the maidens marry for the wealth of ponies, blankets or government income of the suitor, just like tbeir wbite sisters for wealth. One of the customs peculiar to the Ute tribe is called tbe "tea dance." in the spring, when nature is beginning to don ber new apparel and the leaf is just budding, tho maiden wanders up and down the Ute prairie and bill in search ot the sweet-smelling herb that, coming at this time of tLo year, called tho love season, bears a name which translated means love weed, liaviog found a snQicient quantity, she tightens her belt, gathers her ebawl around her, and with a joyful face And feet as licet as the deer of her own beloved mountains, she returns to her wickiup. Mie delivers ber trrasnro to tbe o.d squaws, who, by its power, aided by their incantations, have won many husbands, and, confident in their match-making ubility. the niaideus leave all to them. Tbe seventh night of the new moon after the love weed is found an immense homemado drum calls tho youth of both sexes to the marriage- hall. This drum was formerly the eection of a hollow treo with deer skin stretched tightly over it. Now an empty cheese box covered with light skin takes its tdace. The hall itself is some large new wickiup, but of heavy white dackinc. It is brightly hunted by the moon and stars shining through the open doorwav and by the larce fire in tbe middlo of the wickiup, over which is brewing tbe "iovo tea," No chaperons tare needed here, so the elders go outside and proceed with the music Cupid is dangerously near, and the clamor the musicians produce is better appreciated by them than it would be by most of us. With these Western beauties every year maybe a leap year, and the maiden who has long admired at a distance some litbolimbed. tleet-footed son of the forest may now rife from her tailor .position and dip the tin cnD in tho love potion and pa es it to her desired one. lie may aocut or reject. If he does tbe latter on account of having another sweetheart, he of course promises to be a brother to ber. All tbe rest may chooso before she has another chance. Hut some brave may have been captured by her Jaugbiuc lips and sparkling eyes, and so, when the time comes for the men to chooso. will give ber to drink of tho magic- liquor, lier love is seldom so lasting that she will not accent the suitor, and he does not care if he be second choice. The music is continued and the dancing consists of keeping time to it by 1.(00 odd fantastic gyrations, graceful, yet wearisome. The dance lasts threo days and nights, then all are married. Quite Pathetic. PhiUulclpMA Record. A l?f nnblicnn noet Pas written some pt fjuisitely touching little verses, the closing lines of each being tbo couplet: It is hard to feel happy, and blithesome, and car When you're over yourJioad In the cold cousooiiue.
