THE OLD MAID'S HALLOWE EN
The rosy apple roasts apace;
The cat sits blinking at the blaze:
I feel a flush upon my face
Like what I felt in younger days.
It's Hallowe’en and not a beau
Has nipped as yet upon the door—
Tho’ ma's asleep an hour ago
And pa is trying hard to snore.
It's very foolish at ray age
Old superstitions to revive
But we cannot be always sage.
Nor maybe without folly thrive.
So in my cup at tea I tried
The letter of my love to see;
1 sipped with care and looked inside—
The tea leaves spelled an Z or Z!
I pared an apple while I said
The Lord's prayer backward twice;
1 was a little bit afraid
Because it did not seem quite nice.
A name I whispered I adore
Then o'er my head the paring threw;
It lightly fell upon the floor
In curls which road Q Q Q Q!
I tiptoed to the garret room.
And faced a glass to learn my fate;
I saw no face of joy or gloom.
But markings I could not translate.
But when I turned I understood;
My naughty nephew off at school
Had written with some half charred
wood
I'pon the wall. “MY AUNT'S A
FULE.”
It's really stupid! When I went
Into the orchard lane just now.
With darkness o'er the firmament.
The only man there was our cow.
But hark! A footstep well I know
Which gives me joy when past it
goes—
It's Joseph J.; it's Joe' my Joe
And I shall help him to propose.

SHORT STOPS.
What The People Are Saying.
By the Grace of the Great Manitou
and with the aid of thelndian vote
it's Thad and Joe and the Big Six
over again. However the election is
over and the big snow storm up north
has brought us some cold weather.
• • •
This again brings to our mind
whether the shapeless pile of red
sandstone with its incongurous mass
of architectural formswhich is situa-
ted on the southeast corner of Main
plaza and known as the Bexar coun-
ty court house had not better be con-
verted into a hotel for the accomoda-
tion of our winter tourists.
• • •
If the county officials had more ac-
commodations in their old quarters
which seems to be the general opin-
ion they had better move back there
again and the brown elephant dis-
I>osed of in the most advantageous
way possible.
• • •
It has been suggested that the new
so-called courthouse is only a sample
or a model of what it might have been
if built in suitable proportions to ac-
commodate the occupants. It is an
expensive model to serve as a practi-
cal test. But it may be like the ne-
gro's catfish “it swunk.”
• • •
The pile of the taxpayers money
that has ben wasted upon that intol-
erable abortion has certainly “swunk”
to judge from the cheapness of the in-
side finish of the structure.
* * •
On the other hand some of the work
on the exterior is quite expensive and
it is a pity that by the confused mix-
ture of forms and details it fails to
satisfy refined taste. It is a million
dollar “what is it?”
• • •
The monthly bills for the electric
lights used to make some of the office
rooms serviceable is another item of
expense likely not reckoned in the
original estimates of the architect.
Perhaps they come under tho head of
contingencies.
• • •
Our city hall with all its/faulty ar-
rangements comes much nearer serv-
ing its purposes than the million dol-
lar pile of sandstone and in spite of
its great quantities of sheet iron ma-
sonry is a more sightly looking struc-
ture.
COMPLEXION OF NEXT SENATE.
Special Wire To Sunday Light.
New York Nov. 7. —The announce-
ment from Milwaukee by the friends
of Senator Jno. L. Mitchell of Wis-
consinthat he will support gold meas-
ures in the senate makes a tie of the
gold and silver forces in that body
and puts upon Vice President Hobart
the responsibility of casting the de-
ciding vote. This is upon the assump-
tion that no other changes are made.
The senate of the next congress
stands: gold Republicans 37. gold
Democrats 8 silver Democrats 26 sil-
ver Republicans 10 Populists 9.
Should Carter of Montana and
Shoup.of Idahowho supported Major
' McKinley in the campaign ally them-
selves with the dominant faction of
the party the gold vote in the senate
. after March the fourth next would be
47 and the silver vote 43. The com-
position of the house of representa-
tives in the fifty-fifth congress ac-
cording to total returns is as follows:
Republicans 212. sound money Demo-
crats 2. silver Democrats 120.silver
Republicans. Populists and fusionists
23; total 357.

POPS DIDN’T STICK.
DIFFERENT HAD THEY KEPT
FAITH IN TEXAS-
K ear by Would Have Been Governor oi
The State Democracy Busted and
“Christian Charlie" Ousted.
Austin. Tex. Nov. 7.—As re-
turns come in from all sections
of the state the Republican elec-
toral vote shows up better than
it has since 1860 and from what
can be seen by a review of the un-
official vote it is made manifest
that had the Populists stuck to
their word and voted for McKin-
ley electors and their own man
Kearby that the state would
have been in the Republican col-
umn nationally and gone for the
Populist state ticket. As esti-
mated last week the vote will
reach 500000 and the uncertain
100.000 which held the balance
of power has told the story. They
were for Culberson and Bryan
and hence the state will go Dem-
ocratic. It is generally believed
from reflection of returns that
Populists in large numbers de-
clined to vote the fusion Repub-
lican ticket. The gold Democrats
to a man voted for McKinley.
Some Populists did but a large
majority went the other way.
The result to be arrived at there-
fore is that the Republican party
has by force of circumstances
made a substantial increase in
this state. While all party lines
were down this year it is safe to
say that the Republican gain this
year will be found to be the basis
for a larger vote four years hence.
As distressing as it is to them to
do so the Democratic managers
here say that the Democratic ma
jority in Texas while they will
always consider it safe will nev-
er again come within whistling
distance of the big 180.000 ma-
jority cast for Cleveland for his
first terra. From carefully esti-
mated returns here though un-
official. Culberson as head of the
state Democratic ticket will get
75.000 majority falling behind
the balance of the ticket about
10000.
AUNT'S
Bryan and Sewall's majority
will probably be 75000. It is es-
timated that they will lead the
McKinley ticket by 100000. After
a careful return from various con-
gressional districts the election
of the following congressmen are
assured by handsome majorities:
First—J. H. Ball. Dem.
Second —S. B. Cooper Dem.
Third—R. C. Degraffenreid
Dem.
Fourth —John W. Cranford
Fifth — J. W. Bailey Dem.
Sixth —R. E. Bushl Dem.
Seventh —R. L. Henry Dem.
Eighth—S. W. T. Laughan

Sheriff White. when asked

Armenian Excitement.
Special Wire To Sunday Light.
St. Petersburg Nov. 7.—An extraor-
dinary conspiracy to make criminal
profit out of the agitation on behalf
of the Armenians is reported from
Tiflis. For some time past a number
of mysterious murders have been per-
petrated in the town the victims be-
ing generally merchants. Many
wealthy Armenians also have receiv-
ed anonymous letters threatening
them with death unless they parted
with large sums of money. At the
same time a number of individuals
have been going about the town col-
lecting what they described as sub-
scriptions destined * be distributed
among the necessitous Armenians in
Turkey and in order to prove their
statements presenting forged certifi-
cates purporting to emanate from the
Armenian revolutionary committee in
London. The Russian police howev-
er have now discovered that the au-
thors of these murders and the bear-
ers of false certificates belong to a
band of thives having absolutely no
political character and acting simply
for the purpose of robbery. The chief
of this band a Recidivist named Le-
van Aminoff who has already escap-
ed twice from a penal settlement in
the island of Saghalien has been ar-
rested with two of ms accomplices
who will shortly be tried at Tiflis.

WILL ABANDON CPYRUS.
Special Wire To Sunday Light.
London Nov. 7.—The Daily Graphic
claims to have authority confirming
a statement published Wednesday in
the Truth that the government has de-
cided to abandon the island of Cpyrus
which was given up to Great Britain
for administration by the Anglo-Turk-
ish convention of 1878. The Graphic
adds that the evacuation of the island
is recognized as a necessarry corollary
to the abandonment of the Anglo-Tur-
kish convention.
The decision of the government was
hastened by Russia’s view that the
convention implied distrust of the
Russian policy and that the detention
of Cpyrus nullified the contention that
the convention had ceased to exist.
Officials at the colonial office declare
they are ignorant of any intention on
the part of the government to evacu-
ate the island. The article in Truth
asserted that Cpyrus would be made
independent but this is not confirm-
ed.

808 TAYLOR ELECTED.
Tennessee's Jolly Governor Receives
A Majority Of The Ballots.
Special Wire To Sunday Light.
Cincinnati O„ Nov. 7.—A special to
the Post from Nashville Tenn. says
this morning Robert F. Taylor Dem-
ocrat has been elected governor of
Tennessee. This statement is based
upon authentic information received
from every county in the state and
while not official in all instances is
so in many.
In those countise from which official
results have not been received re-
ports have been verifiedfromsources
which cannot be doubted. The fig-
ures of the State Democratic commit-
tee give Gov. Taylor’s plurality at 8-
638. Official returns they assert
will not vary this materially and they
confidently believe that the plurality
will go from 9000 to 10000. The
Democratic electoral ticket runs con-
siderably ahead of the Taylor ticket.
Nashville Tenn. Nov. 7.—Accurate
figures on the presidential election are
not yet obtainable because of incom-
plete returns from the mountain coun-
ties. It seems certain that Taylor is
elected governor by at least 5.000 plu-
rality and that Bryan’s plurality will
be double that number.
Memphis Tenn. Nov. 7.—Democrats
refuse to admit Republican gains and
their claims of carrying the state and
still say Bryan has carried Tennessee
by at least 15000 and that eight of
the ten congressmen are Democratic.
Taylor Democrat for governor Is be-
lieved to have been elected.
BRECKENRIDGE WILL CONTEST
Charges Fraud In His Home County.
Special Wire To Sunday Light.
Louisville Ky. Nov. 7.—lnformation
is given out at Republican headquar-
ters that Col. W. P. C. Breckenridge
will certainly contest the election of
Settle free silver Democrat for con-
gress on the ground of fraud in Owen
county where Breckenridge received
1085 votes and Settle 3319. Col.
Breckenridge has sent two attorneys
to Owen to witness the official count.
Lexington Ky. Nov. 7.—The chan-
ces are that there will be a contest
over the congressional election in this
the Seventh districtwhere Col. Breck-
enridge was defeated. Many lawyers
are of the opinion that the holding
of a primary for county officers to be
elected a year hence in Owen on the
same day that the general election was
held Tuesday clearly invalidates the
vote of Owen county and it may be
asked that the county’s vote be
thrown out. This will be In Breck-
enridge's favor.

KENTUCKY 81FE. ‘
M'KINLEY ELECTORS RECEIVE A
HEAVY VOTE.
First Time in the History of the State
That a Republican Presidential Can-
didate Has Hsr Choice.
Louisville Ky. Nov. 7.—McKinley
lias certainly got twelve of Ken-
tucky’s thirteen electoral votes. The
official count of the county canvassing
boards was completed this afternoon
but returns are slow coming in. At
five o’clock a bulletin was issued from
Republican headquarters to-wit:
“Kentucky has gone Republican for
the first time in its history in a pres-
idential year.” Official count shows
that in almost every county Kast
the first Republican and Smith the
first Democrat electors lead their
tickets by from fifty to one hundred
votes and this insures Bryan one elec-
tor. The Democrats went to the 11th
district with 13822 in their favor and
the eleventh district gave McKinley
14278 giving him a net plurality of
-156.
McKinley is 315 in the lead up to
this time with the official count not
completed. Beside changes to be
made by the official count these figures
may be vitally affected by trouble in
Campbell county where two precincts
have already been thrown out for ir-
regularities and four others which
gave McKinley a large majority may
bo thrown out liecauso the election
officers burned the poll books after
making out the returns. The official
count of Jefferson county has increas-
ed McKinley’s plurality in the fifth
district to 21311. The Eleventh dis-
trict now shows a plurality of 14-
286 for McKinley. ~
