HUGHES WIRES TAFT TONIGHT Sends Congratulations on Victory.

Albany, N. Y., Nov. 3. Governor Hughes has sent the following telegram to Taft at Cincinnati My heartiest congratulations upon your victory. HERALD SAYS TAFT HASJ05 VOTES Great New York Journal Sums Up Situation. New York The Herald says Taft has 306 electoral votes, a plurality of 150,000 In New York state, and Hughes wins by close to 50,000 plurality. OLD TIME PRICES. Glimpse of the Days WHen Living Was Cheap In England. Old time hotel rates in England were low. For Instance, in the days of Queen Elizabeth the charge at the George Inn for a feather bed per night was a penny. Dinner cost sixpence (12 cents) and offered choice of "beef, mutton or pigge or fish." In Stuart times each room owned a name Instead of a number, chiefly those of Inn signs, such as the Cross Keys room, the Bell chamber, the Adam and Eve room, and so forth. Formerly the custom In Important cities during festival times was to limit the price of food and lodging by statute. In Canterbury during the celebration of the bicentenary of Becket's translation (1372) the price of bread was fixed at two loaves for a penny (2 cents), a fairly high figure considering the comparative value of money then and now, and wine brought 16 cents a gallon. A century or so later the scale of prices In Edinburgh all the year round was equally moderate, sheep being sold at prices ranging from 12 cents to 20 cents, according to quality, "best hens" at 1 cent each and Rochelle wine at 1 cent a pint. Any vender departing from these prices ran the risk of forfeiture of his goods. Chicago News. QUEER CRABS. The Ingenieua Manner In Which They Disguise Themselves. Some species of crabs disguise themselves In an Ingenious manner. Tbey deliberately bite up seaweeds and plant them on their backs, very soon establishing a growth which harmonizes perfectly with the surroundings and deceives many an enemy. Should the weeds grow too rigorously the crab industriously prunes them with his claws and every now and then scrapes the whole lot off and starts a fresh garden on bis roof,' so to speak. The sponge crab behaves In a similar manner, nipping off little bits of living sponge and sticking them on bis back, where tbey grow vigorously. The same end Is served as in the other case. It is very amusing to keep crabs of one or other of these kinds in an aquarium and deprive them of the usual means of concealment. They get very nervous and agitated and try to cover themselves with bits of paper or anything else that may be provided. One such captive is said to have bad a little greatcoat made for him. which he put on in a hurry as soon as it was handed to him. London Sphere. Queer Talismans In Malta. There are still to be found In Malta number of small stones shaped and colored like the eyes, tongues and other parts of serpents. The superstitious among the Maltese connect these with the tradition that St. Paul when shipwrecked was cast on their island, and it was there that while lighting a bundle of sticks for a fire a viper fastened on the apostle's hand. St. Paul calmly shook the reptile off into the flames, and no harm followed. The natives wear these stones as talismans, In which character they suppose them serviceable in warding off dangers from snake bites and poisons. Tbey are found In St Paul's cave, imbedded in clay, and are set in rings and bracelets and when found to be in the shape of a tongue or liver or heart are hung around the neck. They are also taken internally, dissolved in wine, which method is attended, according to some people, by more Immediate results. Islands In New York City. "I was showing an Englishman our city a week or two ago," said a New Yorker, "aai was surprised to hear him express astonishment at the num ber of Islands within our municipal boundaries. 'Is this entire island a part of New York city? be asked as I took him on several trolley rides over on Staten Island. 'And all these islands, too, are they New York city?" he inquired another day as he went up the East river. His remarks put me to thinking, and I've discovered that not one of the really great cities of the world has so many islands within its boundaries as New York. Staten Island in itself would make a good sized city. Some of the other islands, of course, are hardly more than specks, but they belong to New York city Just the same." The Darkest Heur. The proverb which tells us that "the darkest hour is that before dawn' is Inaccurate, for light increases tn th morning as gradually as it decreases In the evening. The saying should be "the coldest hour." etc.. which is perfectly true and is owing to causes connected with- the deposit of dew. Hoarfrosts, too, usually take place just before daylight and are an additional cause of the peculiar chilliness f this time. London Scraps. . -.

And no one Is finding fault with bis delivery either, as his deep voice carries to all parts of the great hall the news of what the peoplo of this nation did with their ballots today. The Y. M.
