REPUBLICANS VICTORIOUS * . w Taft and Sherman the Choice of the Voters in the National Election.

By a trem’endous vote in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, though with reduced pluralities in the rest of the country, William Howard Taft was elected the twenty-seventh president of the United States. Mr. Taft has in the electoral college 321 votes, while William Jennings Bryhn received 162. This gives the Republican nominee a majority over his Democratic opponent of 159. Twenty-nine states cast their electoral votes for Taft, leaving 16 states for Bryan. The Republican" party controls the next national house of representatives by a majority of 40. The figures received show the election of 216 Repub-

In New York Taft overwhelmed hipopposition with-a : veritable avalanche of votes, rolling up a plurality of 218,000.- In Massachusetts the Democrats were snowed un*ler by the stupendous plurality of 120,000, while in New Jersey the Republicans had a margin of 85,000, a gain of more than 5,000 in excess of the vote for President Rc.ccvelt four years ago. t Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Kansas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, and Indiana greatly reduced the Republican total of four years ago, so that while the party has succeeded in giving its candidate a comfortable majority in the electoral, college, the popular vote was considerably whittled flown. -. Mixup in Indiana. In Indiana the Democrats succeeded in holding the Republican margin down to 8,000. At the same time the Democrats elected the ,state ticket, Thomas R. Marshall being, chosen gov-. ernor. • New York and Ohio swept into the Republican column by pluralities that were surprising, the latter showing its loyalty to its native son by giving him a- plurahiy~bf 75,000 votes. ’ Outside of Massachusetts, the smallest changes in net results came in the New England states, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut contributing pluralities to Taft which do not differ materially from those given Roosevelt and Fairbanks in 1904. The greatest slump in the RepublicPennsylvflnia, which gave Taft a plu rality of 350,000, as compared with 605,000 cast for the Republican ticket, in the last presidential campaign.;™Illinois Vote Cut Down. Illinois cut her vote down from 300,000 to 180,000, Michigan from 217,000 to 118,000, Ohio from 255,000 to 75,000, Minnesota from 161,000 to 98,000, Indiana from 93,000 to 8,000, lowa frorff 118,000 to 65,000, Kansas from 126,000 to 35,000, Colorado from 34,000 to 5,000 and California from 115,000 to 75,000, " ' IN CONTROL OF CONGRESS. Republicans Have Both Branches of National Legislature. William Howard Taft will have a safe Republican majority ..in the house of representatives, now given as 43. The majority will be slightly’ increased, unless some unexpected

changes are made by later returns from districts supposed to be safely Republican. In the last congress the Republicans had a majority of 57. The Democrats lost the Eleventh Pennsylvania district to the Republican nominee, Henry W. Palmer, who defeated John Bigelow And thus becomes the successor of Mr. Lenahan, the present Democratic member. The Republicans also regained the Third Wisconsin district, which was lost to Joseph W. Babcock two years ago. The senate shows practically no change, the Republicans retaining a large majority. The membership of the senate is 92, the hold-over members number 61 (43 Republicans and 18 Democrats). IN THE STATE ELECTIONS. Some Surprises Furnished Govs. Hughes and Deneen Re-Elected. In New York the Republicans won a sweeping victory for national and state tickets. Taft carried the Democratic stronghold of Greater New York by a plurality of about 6,500. He also carried Erie county, another normally Democratic territory, by 7,000, but this is 5,000 less than the Roosevelt plurality there. Taft's plurality In the whole state is 195,000, and that for Hughes is 75,000. The legislature is again overwhelmingly R&publicn. Illinois. Charles S. Deneeji was elected governor of Illinois for a second time, despite widespread “cutting.” His plurality over Adlai E. Stevenson was 24,000, while Taft carried the state by about 180,000 plurality. The entire Republican ticket was elected by a normal vote. Illinois Republicans elected 19 members of the national house of representatives, the Democrats being successful in only six districts. The state legislature is safely Republican, with 41 Republican senators to 10-Democrats, and in the lower house 88 Republicans, 63 Democrats and two Prohibitionists. This gives the Republicans a majority of 54 on .joint ballot. Nebraska. A. C. Shallenberger and the entire Democratic ticket were elected by a small majority. Mr. Bryan carried the state by about 3,000 votes. Bryan’s greatest gain was in Lincoln, which he carried, f overcoming a normal Republican plurality of 1,600. Bryan carried bis home precinct by 111 to 54 L lowa. Trf - B. F. Carroll and the entire Republican state ticket was elected by a plurality approximately 65,000, as against Roosevelt’s plurality of 158,000 four years ago. Ten Republican congressmen were elected and one Dem.ocrat. J Wisconsin. Gov. J, O. Davidson, (Rep.) was re-, elected, but his vote was far. behind’ 1 that of the head of the ticket, Taft carrying the state by 75,000. Ten Republican congressmen have been elected and one Democrat. Indiana. Thomas R. Marshall was elected, governor, with the entire state ticket. The Democrats have secured control of the legislature on joint ballot, thus, insuring the election of a Democratic United States senator to succeed James A. Hemenway. Eleven Democratic and two Republican congresschosen. Montana. Advices from throughout Montana indicate that Taft has carried the state by a majority close to 5,000. Charles NT Pray of Fort Benton is re-elected to congress"-by about 4,000. Maryland. Maryland cn the official count gives Taft a' plurality of 561, yet elects six Bryan electors out of the eight. The

SARD! IS NO MORE . FRENCH DRAMATIST DIES AT THE AGE OF 77 YEARS. FAMOUS THE WORLD OVER Skateh of the Long Career in Which He Won Honors and Wealth by Writing .Plays. Paris. —Victorien Sardou, who had been ill for a ltfng time, died Sunday from pulmonary congestion. He was the dean of French dramatists and a I member of the French Academy. , The man whose first play was hissed | and who then wanted to go to AmeriI ca to seek his fortune, died rich and honored, with the proud title of France’s greatest and most proltflc contemporary dramatist. Victorien Sardou was a man possessed of singular charm and was greatly beloved, and there is universal regret that he left no memoirs. He was born In Paris, September 7, 1831, the son of Leandre Sardou, an educationalist and compiler of several publications. His first comedy, “La Taverne des Etudiants,” was produced in 1854 in the Odeon, then the second state theater, but it proved a cdmplete failure. He then wrote the comedy, “Les Pattes de Mouche,” which was produced with great success in 1860, and subsequently adapted for the English stage under the title of “A Scrap of Paper.” In the year 1857 M. Sardou was in a state of abject poverty and extreme distress. . .He was living in a garret and was prostrated by typhoid ffever, but a neighbor, Mile, de Brecourt, nursed him with tender care during his illness, from which he slowly recovered. He married her in the following year. / Almost every land knows the stage heroes and heroifies born out of Sardou’s resourceful mind. Mme. Bernhardt has won her greatest triumphs in roles lie 'wrote for her, such as Tosca, Fedora, Theodora and Gismonda. “Mme. Sans Gene” was written for Mme. Rejane. M Sardou realized a princely fortune by his writings and built a splendid chateau at Marlyle-Roy. He married, on June 17, 1872, Mile. Soulier, daughter of the j cpn-servateur of the Museum of Versailles. He was decorated v ith the Legion of Honor in 1863 anil was elected a member of the French Academy in 1877, W. H. TAPPAN A SUICIDE. Well-Known Steel Man of Louisville Kills Himself. New York. —Walworth H. Tappan, well-known in the iron and steel trade of the south and - middle west, who lived in Louisville, Ky., blew his out Sunday night in the washroom of the Hotel Savoy, a Fifth avenue hostelry. The report of the shot was heard throughout the lower part of the hotel and created great excite- j ment. Despondency over a nervous affile- j tion, which was constantly growing j worse, is given by his wife as the cause of Tappan’s act. LIFE SENTENCE FOR ROUBICK. Slayer of Kvasnicka Disappointed Because He Is Not to Hang. Laporte, Ind.—Albert Roubick, who testified Saturday that he had mur- j dereil Emil Kvasnicka, a Chicago jew- ! eler, because ofJnfatuation for his vie- I tim’s wife, whom he expected to marry, was given a sentence for tlTWTmprisonment by the jury, which reported Sunday. Roubick, when informed, of the verdict of the jury, was manifestly disappointed. He said he made a confession of his crime, hoping the jury would sentence him to death oil the gallows. . _ . NAT GOODWIN MARRIES AGAIN. Comedian Takes Edna Goodrich as His Fourth Wife. tfoston.— Nat. C. Goodwin, the cornyedian, and Edna Goodrich, a wellknown actress, who formerly starred with Mr. Goodwin, .were married at one o’clock Sunday at the home here of Mr. Goodwin’s mother. The ceremony was performed by a justice of the peace", -who has been a friend of Mr, Goodwin since boyhood. This is the fourth marriage of Mr. Goodwin and the second of Miss Goodrich. ~v ' Escaped Convict Is Caught. • Kalamazoo, Mich. —Charles Kelly, who escaped two years ago from the penitentiary at Columbus, 0„ was arrested here Sunday night. It is said that Kelly had served 14 years of a 25-year term for manslaughter when he was made a trdsty and escaped. Ten Killed in Wreck in France. Montauban, France. —An express train was derailed Sunday near Grisolles. Ten persons were killed And many were ihjured. Fatally Shoots His Sister. Alliance, Neb.—As the result of a shooting affray near here Lizzie BranVr is in the hospital fatally wounded and her brother, Charles Braner, who did the shooting, and her sweetheart, Frank Augustine, are in ' the county jail. Braner objected to the. attentions of Augustine to his sister and when the couple went riding Saturday night the brother followed them. Miss Braner was wearing the overcoal of the escort and mis- ' taking her for the man, Braner shot 1 her. Augustine was slightly wounded.

Taft, and elected the Democratic candidate for governor, Thomas B„ Marshall being the winner. According to the latest estimate Mr, Taft received a plurality of about 15,000 and Mr. Marshall was victorious over James E. Watson, Republican candidate, by about 8,000. The congressional representation from this state probably will be seven democrats and six Republicans. The latest returns credit the Democrats with six and the Republicans with five

The legislature was in doubt, Marion county, with its 12 members of the legislature, went heavily Democratic for the county ticket and carried down with it the Republican legislative candidates and possibly Congressman Jesse Overstreet, one of the Republican leaders, who has been looking after the election of state legislators, conceded that the law-making body is very close, but he adljered to the opinion that the lead the Republicans have in the. 17 hold-qtver senators would save it to the Republicans on joint ballot and Insure the re-election of Senator James A. Hemenway. Among the things aseribed by the Republican leaders for the defeat of Mr. Watson, the probable loss of the legislature, possible defeat of Congressman Overstreet, and the election of a Democratic county ticket, are the liquor question and the labor vote. The Republican managers expected Taft to carry Marion county by at least:3,AQo plurality, .but returns fromnearly all the precincts show that the difference between him and Bryan will be only a hundred votes, and it is by no means certain that Taft has carried the county at all. There was a great deal of scratching fn all the precincts and in many of the counties the count of the vote will not be completed for some time. Unless there is a slump from the Republican vote in congressional districts from local causes, there will probably be little'change in the Indiana delegation. Noisy Competition. An evening paper in Paris hah hit upon'~~veFy-iftge-nwttS"ftml“nw'el-ad-vertisement. Every evening it sends members of its staff to ascertain which news seller shouts the loudest. The possessor of the strongept lungs is given a week's holiday in the ebuatry, all expenses being paid, and in the way of pocket money the editor sends him a number of papers free, which he offers for sale. The effect of this competition is astounding.

Those two fellows there always come together. They’re in entirely different lines of business, "too. They claim they can save money by traveling together, not only on their hotel bills but in other ways, and that the scheme has divers and suiylry other advantages’—Cleveland Plata Dealer. ' '

AFTER THE SHOT. w

Robbie Rabbit—Never in all my life has such shocking language been used In my presence as that boy has used In the last three minutes. Oooh! Real Belf-Possession. Not long ago a young couple entered a railway carriage at Sheffield and were immediately put down as a bridal pair. But they were remarkably selfpossessed and behaved with such sang-froid that the other passengers began to doubt if their, first surmise was correct after all. As the train moved out, however, the young man rose to remove bis overcoat, and a shower of'rice fell out, while the passengers smiled broadly. But even that did not affect the youth, who also smiled, and! turning to his partner, remarked audibly: “By Jove, May! I’ve stolen the bridegroom's overcoat!”—Taller.
