IHE CITIZEN, Fit! DAY, Al'Itll. 22, 1010. Eyes of Nation on Aldridge Havens Contest. LIKE FOSS IN MASSACHUSETTS Democrats Expect That Republican Plurality of 10,000 Will Be Up set and That Aldridge Will Be Rejected. Rochester. N. Y., April II). Voting1 began todiiy In tho 112(1 precincts of the I Thirty-second coiifrrcHslonitl district of i this state to eliooso a successor to I Jnmcs Block Perkins, Hepultlicau, who died last month. J Thq flplit between CJcoikc W. Aid rldRe, ltepuhlican, and James S. Ila- j vens, DoinmTiit, for election to Mr. j Perkins1 sea: In the house of represent atives has nmde tills election of nation wide iiiteie t and importance. Tlie Democrats rely upon the high ' cost of living and the sentiment . against the I'ayne-Aldrlch tarilT law to turn the 10,000 Hcpulilican plurality In the district Into a r.,000 Democratic plurality for Havens. The charge of graft against Aldridge consequent upon the disclosures as to his receiv ing a $1,000 cheek from the Insurance 1 'yellow dog" fund has, the Democrats i say, lost him many votes. They expect ! a result In this district something like i that achieved by Koss In Massachu-' setts. ' The Aldridge men from their chief tain down to tho humblest follower are earnestly almost passionately con vinced that their candidate is to win by from li.OOO to 5,000. When Mr. Aid-' ridge began the contest his followers i asserted that he was to have 15,000 majority In the district. "If my dear friend manages to scratch through by a thousand I'll get ' full as a cistern," cried one of Mr. Ald rldge's election district captains. Of the 1-0 precincts in the congres sional districts 120 are provided with voting machines. All of these ina chines have been tested. The oppos ing forces have eacli two inspectors and two watchers. Talk of coloniza tion schemes and of proposed arrests for illegal registration has gone on all day. Tlie Havens campaigners as well as the Aldridge campaigners are fully aware that Democrats and Itepublie ans at Washington are awaiting the result with tho keenest interest. It will determine whether tho tide of dls- , approval of Republican national poli cies, which first set in several months 1 ago and was visibly noted In the Sixth Missouri district, to be subsequently swelled by the returns from the Four teenth Massachusetts district. Is to be ' checked. I'.enmse of the voting ma chines tin" result ought to be known by ! o'clock this evening. If Havens wins Ills Democratic friends say that he will undoubtedly receive the Democratic nomination for governor of New York state nest fall. ' Mr. Havens has not the slightest shadow of a doubt as to the result, Neither has Louis M. Antisdale nor Henry T. MmsIicm nor John S. Whaien nor scores of other Democrats who , have participated in all the ingoings nud outgoings of this interesting cam paign. MoM of them believe Mr. Ha-1 vens Is to be elected by at least .",000 majority. This would mean a change ' of 1,-i.Oon vies in tlie 'district from 3008 and a change of 8,000 votes from ' l!0i. Congress! -n Kassett said today. "Mr. Aldridge lias been tho acknowl- edged leader of the Republican party la this section for tlie past twenty years. It Is not possible that the peo-j pie of Monn e county, whose loyalty to , and in support of Republican princi ples has mad'' tills county the banner 1 Republican .ounty of this state, have been mlstnk n In their judgment, nor i will they iiliovv any proposed change ! to interfere vith their vital interests." 1 TO PROiECUTE HEALERS. Death of Boy Vith Scarlet Fever Laid to Christian Scientists. Stamford, t'oiiu.. April 1!).--I'M ward Jordan, the ten-year-old son of K. P. Jordan, died here of scarlet fever after treatment by Christian Science heal ers only. The child's mother, believing that prayers would cure her sou, re fused to allow a physician to adminis ter medicine. Tlie funeral was held up by the pros ecuting attorney until today, when an autopsy was performed by Health Olll cer T. J. lllggs. A criminal charge, tlie doctor said, will be made against those responsible for the boy's death. Thomas II. Stagg, a Christian Sci ence practitioner of Noroton Heights, who had been giving the boy "present treatment," Is locked up In the house under quarantine with tlie mother and the dead child. Before he began giving tlie child "present treatment" he, with tho as sistance of Mrs, Samuel Scofleld, u sec ond reader In the Christian Science church of Stamford, had been giving tho Jordan boy "absent treatment." Mrs, Scofleld says that this treatment was "Just prayer." Health Otllcer Biggs, who had tho case called to his attention by a regu lar physician, went to the house two or three tlmei and asked to be allowed to rcat the 'illd. His offers of assist mice were P dined, and he was told that the fun lly were Christian Scien tists and that they would not hare a doctor. I T WIFE IN CHAINS TWO YEARS. Paris Druggist Says He Loves Her, but Is Jealous, Tho mystery of the disappearance of the young wlfo of a druggist named Pnrnt, whose pharmacy is In Paris nenr tho scene of tho Stclnhcll mur der, was cleared up when tho police broke In nnd found the woman heav lly chained between tho bed and the wall, horribly scarred. In nddltlon to the chain, which was strongly padlocked around the neck, a cruel contrivance resembling a cont of mnll, but strengthened by n belt of copper rings, enveloped the body. Both objects could be removed only by tho use of keys. The woman told a pitiful tale of two years' Imprisonment and martyr dom. Last November, while still in chains, she gave birth to her fifth child. Tho husband refused to call a doctor. Parat, who was arrested, declared that lie loved his wife, but was ex tremely Jealous of her. Another Joshua. It is always a temptation to air one's special knowledge. A county judge down in a Southern State, who was proud of his familiarity with Scripture, was weak enough to yield occasionally to this temptation. The story of one such occasion Is told In the National Magazine. One day an old negro was brought In from the mountain district under suspicion of maintaining an Illicit Btill. There was no real evidence against him. "What's your name, prisoner?" asked the judge, as ho peered at the shambling black man. "Mali name's Joshua, Jedge." was the reply. "Joshua, eh?" you say? Are you that same Joshua spoken of in Holy Writ the Joshua who made the sun stand still?" "No, Jedge," was the hasty answer, " 'twa'n't me. Ah'm de Joshua dat made de moon shine." Steering an Aeroplane. The driving of a motor-car demands u fair measure of vigilance and nerve, but by the general consent of those who have tried both forms of amuse ment It Is nothing to tne steering of an eroplane. From the point of view of personal daring and Initiative, the newest method of travel finds a closer parallel in the early human feats of tavilng tho horse for riding and learn ing to sail a boat than in the invention of the steamship or tho railway en gine. The prominence of the human element in the new pursuit comes naturally out in the concentration of popular interest even more in the "flying men" than in their machines. When railways and steamships were new tlie absorption of public attention in them was Immense. But the ma chine then dwarfed the man. Compressed Gas. Within the last 10 years the prac tice of transmitting compressed gas from some central station to small towns has grown rapidly. In Illinois one plant now supplies nearly 4,000 consumers, In Indiana another has as many, and In California a plant has cl'-i 5,000 consumers on Its line of pipes Another plant Is now project ed to supply S,000 consumers, and it !s estimated that 100 miles of piping will be required. The system has been de veloped to compete with electricity. The mains used vary from two to six inches in diameter. When the gas is delivered tho pressure must he re duced, and this is effected either by a local low-pressure distributing system, or by service governors connected with each meter. "Play Away, One!" It was Jimmy's first day In the dis trict school, and be listened In be wilderment to the glib answers made by friends and neighbors, until the lesson in physical geography began. Then he was Interested. "What Is the difference between a torrent and a cntaract?" asked tho teacher, at last; and to Jim's amaze ment the class hesitated. He waved his hand. "Can you tell us," and tho teacher smiled encouragingly at him. "The Torrent's got more hose," said Jim, proudly, "but father says the folks over at the Corners are going to get some more for the Cataract, and then they'll be exactly alike." Only Once. There are two kinds of people In this world those who look on the bright side of things and those who do not. Kach sort Is sure to extract his or her own moral from eveiythlng. Two old ladles, both of whom were well cared for, were once conversing about their affairs. One was a jolly old lady, the other was of a sour dis position. "Well, well," said the Jolly one, "It's pleasant to be old. Wo get the best of everything the easiest chairs, the best places, the tenderest morsels " "Yes, yes," sighed the other, forced to admit that her life was an easy one, "that's all very true, but what's the use? Wo can't be old but once." Sterilizing with Invisible Rays. Continuing his researches, begun with the ordinary ultraviolet rays, Bll-lon-Duguorro In France has recently experimented with still shorter rays of the spoctrum, measuring down to 1,000 units, for the sterilization of all kinds of liquids. Ho finds that the very short rays 'are 25 times as ef fective as the longer ones In their sterilizing power. He uses quartz vacuum tubes, Immersed lu the liquid, and illuminated with currents much more feeble than those required for the mercury vapor-lamps ut first env ployed. aturday Qight iaSk By Rev. F. E. I leaiiS Rutland, DAVISON Vt THE KING'S WARNINGS AND IN VITATIONS. International Bible Lesson for April 24, '10 (Matt. 11:20-30). Opportunity does not always moan success, sjrea'. advantages do not as sure prosperity. Wise men some times have dunces for children, and It Is no uncommon thing for men to set In church for GO years and yet be unconverted. Some of the most gos pel hardened characters are thoso who have been brought up by pious parcntn nud have the creed on their tongues end. There are reprobatos who know tho catechism from begin ning to end. nnd plenty of men who can argue on points of doctrine who have not an lota of religion In their hearts. Gospel-Hardened Fields. The minister who Is anxious for converts avoids the lleldo which have been burnt over oy revivals, till they are as dry as a Sahara desert, and goes to men who are not so familiar with the gospel but that It comes to thrill with tho freshness of a now dis covery. The places that are proverbi ally the hardest to move In evangelis tic effort are the old. conservative, hide-bound, New Kngland parishes where points of doctrine are discussed at every comer grocery and the most ersy-going characters can dlscourso eloquently on the five points of Cal vinism and who can detect heresy in a sermon as quick as a doctor of di vinity. It does not by any means fol low thnt proximity to religion always results in conversion. The light may be so bright as to dazzle the beholder. Old Time Examples. it vvms much that way with some of the cities of Galileo In the time of Cl rls. ITe was a resident In Capernl uri. lie did many mighty works In Cliorazin. yet those cities in whose streets He was a familiar figure did not stampede into His kingdom, they did not turn to Him en masse. They entertained Him. but they did not cast In their lot with Htm. They did not revile Him. neither did they crown Him. They simply treated Him courteously, listened to what He had to say. saw His mighty, works with wide-eyed wonder, and then politely bowed Him out. They would not en thuse a particle. They would neither laugh nor ciy. If He piped to them they would not dame; If He mourned to them, they would not lament. They simply would not warm up to any thing. Fear Legitimate Motive. Such conduct was an amazement to Christ and He said to them one day, "Why, if the mighty works that I have done here, had been done In Tyro and Sidon, heathen cities, populated by people who have never heard the gos pel, if I had gone to them instead of you, they would lrve repented long ago In saeUelo'ln and ashes. And I say unto you. Hint in the day of judg ment they will stand a better chance than you." What a terrific indictment It was for those cities! It was like one starving for food while sitting at a banquet, or drowning when a single effort would put them in the life boaL It will be noticed that Christ does not object to using (be motive of fear In his message. Wo have fallen upon a time when an apeal to fear is tabooed In many pulpits. They say, if men will not be drawn by love nothing can reach them. But Christ did not so reason. He used a double motive, an attracting nud a pushing force in or der that every possible motive might be used to bring men Into right rela tions with God. It is perfectly legiti mate to warn men of the peril of delay and to put pressure upon them to fleo from the wrath to come. It Is not nec essary to take men by the shoulder and shout at them. Be a christian, sir, or your days are numbered! but It Is proper to put before them the loss, tho ruin, the subtraction, tho failure to complete a perfect life structure without the help of ChrlsL But Christ does not bear on one motive exclusively. Jonathan Ed wards used the sword of the spirit In one direction only. His masterpiece was the famous sermon entitled "Sin ners In the Hands of An Angry God," in which he compared men to flies which the Almighty was about to sweep off Into eternal perdition, nnd he made the people reallzo their dan ger so dramatically that they caught hold of the pillars of the church lest they should slide In hell. He uttered more terrific language than Christ evpr thought of. But oven then, multi tudes in Kdwnrdr,' day decided to take the risk. The Love Motive. Christ turns In another direction and Invites the world to His arms. Never were such words as these ut tered before. Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden n,nd I will give you rest. That was precisely what they needed rest, and for multi tudes It was not necessary to give a neeond Invitation. Thnt was what this weary world had bpen looking forfor thousands of years In vnln. Heavy laden that Is the universal condition. What a load we carry, our slnB, our habits, our cares, our sorrows, re morse for the past, anxiety for the future, lossen, sicknesses, disappoint ments, Inability to find work, debts, business perplexities, and a host of other things that make every life a burden-bearing. Now Christ said, Come unto me with it all, and I will give you rest. And countless multi tudes have confeBBod through the aires that they bavo laid these burdens at His foot, and borne away a song. PROBING THE COTTON POOL. Federal G.-tncl Jury In Now York Be gins Cpcclal Investigation. New York. April 1l).-fnder the di rection of United KtntoM Attorney (Jen oral Wlckersham a special federal grand jury began today nn Investiga tion of an alleged bull pool lu cotton. Thirteen cotton brokers were subpoe naed. The Investigation was conducted by Assistant Attorney General Clark M. Kcrcher, who was sent hero from Washington for that special purpose. This Is the tlrst time that the federal government ever undertook, outside of the bankruptcy courts, to Investigate a speculative pool In cotton or anything else. News of the notion created bitter In dignation In Wull street. It whs open ly charged that the criminal machinery of the United States courts had been Invoked through some rare Influence by one set of speculators, who hnil got themselves Into a bad bole, to break the cotton market and thereby work their way out of u desperate situation. The proceeding In which the federal grand Jury Is acting Is culled "The United States against Frank I). Ilayne nnd William P. Brown." Iliiyiie and Brown are New Orleans cotton brokers. They, with James A. Patten, the Chi cago operator who successfully put through a wheat corner hist year, and Kiigeno Scales of Texas, have been the leaders in the bull cotton movement since early last fall, when n crop :!,0(0. 1)00 bales short of the yearly consump tion was Indicated. The United States government claims to have knowledge or an agreement be tween Ilayne. Brown and others which was reached, on Feb. "(! Inst and which provided for the purchase of ir.0,000 bales of cotton for delivery between March and July at certain prices and under certain conditions which. It Is claimed, are a violation of federal laws. The thirteen brokers subpoenaed pro dued before tho federal grand jury all papers, records or other data in their possession concerning tlie agreement. BRYAN CAILS ON GAYN0R. Says Afterward That He Would Like to See Mayor Elected President. York. April It). - William J. Bryan was W.ken from the Red D liner Caracas, on which he arrived here from Porto Rico, by a few personal friends on a tug at quarantine, and he made a visit to the city hail and talked for nearly an hour with Mayor Gay uor. Reporters who interviewed Mr. Bry an later mentioned to him thut Mayor Gnynor was being talked of In the west and south as tho logical Demo cratic candidate for the presidency. When asked what he thought of the chances of tlie nomination of Mr. Gny nor, Mr. Bryan replied: "1 have known Mr. Gnynor for inimy yeurs, and I knew that when he was elected mayor of tills city he would make a line record for himself. He is making a splendid record, and he is attracting the attention of the coun try, and I would like to see him elect ed president." Mr. Bryan was reminded that the in quiry was as to what he thought of the chances of Mr. Gnynor being nom inated. "I repent," he would say only hi reply, "that I would like to see Mr. Gnynor elected." How to Clean Sweet Grass Baskets. When the fragrant sweet grass bas kets that are bought in such quanti ties by summer tourists become willed ami lose their sw;eet scent, try cleaning them off with a cloth wrung out of lukewarm water. Do not use soap on them. The dampness not only cleans tho reds, but restores their fresh fdnr. The Evolution of Booster II. BUI Sits Up and Thinks Bill Blue was such a grumbly sort We called him "OLD BILL GROUCH" for short. Since short he was In speech and look And soon got short in pocketbook. Said Bill, "This town is on the bum, Its stores are punk, its climate rum. And then the people he ran down Made Bill look bummer than the town. His business they put on the blink, And this made Bill sit up and think. "THE MAN WHO KNOCKS," said he, "'tis plain, GET8 HI8 by being knocked again." Bill changed his tune that very day. Since then the world has coma his way, Hla coffers soon began to fill. Now we're all friends of "Booster Bill." 6,200 DOUGHNUTS IN 32 DAYS. Mrs. Tarr of Brunswick, Me., Goes After a Record. Thero is a woman In Brunswick, Mo.. Mrs. Lizzie Tarr. who has some thing of a local reputation as a but ter maker. Recently she went after the doughnut record and in thirty- two days made a trlflo moro than 5,200 doughnuts. This was done In odd moments when she was not caring tor nnd feeding nnd doing housework for her husband, horsolf and fifteen children. Mrs. Tnrr's recipe for molasses doughnuts, which sho considers tho best product of her kitchen, Is as fol lows: Ono cupful of sour milk, one-half cup New Orleans molasses, one even tenspoonful of ginger, one tenspoonful of salt, one tenspoonful of soda, one egg, four cups of flour nnd a dash of nutmeg. Sho adds this Information nbout the making: "The frying is the most Importnnt. You must not got the lard too hot, or the doughnuts will brown on the out side before they are fully cooked through." Woes of a Bashful Man. A bashful young man In town was Invited out to dinner. He was very much agitated. He sat opposite a mirror and discovered that he had forgotten to comb his hair. Then he dropped his fork on the floor and as he stooped to pick it up he upset his toffee. Matters went from bad to worse, until Anally in despair tho young mnn quit eating nnd put his hands under the table. The loose end of the tnblccloth was lying In his lap. hen he touched It he turned pale. He thought it was Ills shirt and that he had forgotten to put the garment In his trousers. He hurriedly stuffed the supposed shirt Inside his trousers. Afterward, when the fnmlly arose from tho table there was a crash. The dishes lay In a broken mass on the floor. Tho young man pulled three fef' of tablecloth out of his pants and flew to the woods. Cooked in Quicklime. Oucaslonnlly the English railway section hand cooks a rabbit without the aid of a fire. All he does is to cover It with a thick crust ot clay and Immerse It in quicklime. In about 20 minutes he takes It out, cracks the clay (which has baked hard), and in side Is his meal done to a turn.
