A Boston Idea.
Lillian Whiting writes to the Cleveland
Ltader from Boston; The employes of Messrs.
Jordan, Marsh & Co., about 11300 men and
w omen, have formed a " social circle " and the
firm have arranged for them a magnificent
room on the highest floor of the house, with a
tjlendtd outlook over the bay and the city,
fitted up with (i grand piano und supplied with
all the curreht: periodicals and the daily city
papers; and here they meet evenings, or on
l olidajs for aam.sements, dancing, entertain-
ments of all Itiuu?, and here the sowing wotn&u
of the house come for un hour's recreation each
flfiy I was present last winter at one of the
t utertsir: aunts of the Jordan, Marsh & Co.
"social circle." The wives and daughters of
tlie proprietors, more or less of them, were
pi t sent, and Mr. Elien Jordan, the senior part-
ter, and his eldest son, J lines C., also a mem-
bt r of the house, danced with pretty young
s letwomen, an.l Mrs. James Jordan tripped
the measure with a graceful employs of
the sales department. The men and women
connected with this house are of an unusual
class, intelligent, tuliivaied and permeated
with the esprit tie corps of this wonderful
house, tfcey assist in realizing the very high
ide al of its founders. The Jordan, Marsh &
Co.'s house covers ten acres of ground, and
tbeir business methods are one of the most in-
teresting studies in mercantile economy and
in the principles of finance that I have
ever seen presented.

According to a French authority, the vibra-
tiems caused by a moving railway train a mile
distant may make the use of delicate astrono-
mical instruments impossible for the ti ne

Mont. Trouvelot, the eminent astronomer
of Meudcn observatory, has suggested that
the brilliant light of the faculea, and possibly
the entire light of the sun, is generated at the
solar surface, the coronal atmosphere being
perhaps necessary for its production.
A French savant, Mons. Forel, aflirms that
during the months of July and August last a
red halo or corona surrounded the sun, which,
thoHgh difficult to see at low altitudes, became
quite brilliant at 6000 feet above the
sea. He witnessed the phenomenon several
times from height* ranging from 3000 to 10,000
feet.
In this and other countries there are said to
be 1000 scientific societies. The tatp great and
leading bodies of such character as to embrace
all the scientific men of a nation are the Brit-
ish and American Association for the Advance-
ment of Science, both of which have met this
year on American soil. The British Associa-
tion is 54 years old, the American 33,
A species of ant observed in the island of
St. Thomas has been described to the French
Academy of Sciences. A large fire having
been kindled at a certain distance from the ant-
bill, the ants were seen to precipitate them-
selves into it by thousands, until it was com-
pletely extinguished. It is proposed to call the
species Formica ignivora.
A bridge at Lyons, France, has a stone par-
npet, pierced at intervals for light, forming
a passage which plays the part of a gigantic
flute. The rush of the air-currents; through
the openings causes the bridge to emit such
Kiunels of music at different parts of its course
that "one might believe it hauuted by legions
of invisible raids pursuing the passengers
with their plaintive melodies."
A Better Calendar Wanted—The French
astronomer, Mons. C. Flamraarion, has re-
ceived anonymously the sum of 5000 francs, to
be given as a prize to the author of the best
project for the reform of the calendar. Pa-
pers must be sent in by October 1, 1885. A
committee will make the award and propose
the reform to un international congress.
A Curious Fact—One of the remarkable
things which botanists tell us is that we havo
m'jie plants of the Japanese flora than Europe
has, and that even the Pacific coast of Amer-
ica has fewer than are found on the Atlantic
siope. A few American plants may have
reached Europe by natural means, but in the
main the course of plant migration has been
from the Old World to us, from west to east
A World's Bureau—The international com-
mittee of weights and measures, whose work
is chiefly to test the standards of measurement
used in the different countries, was established
at Paris in 1875 by a convention of nations,
but has only just received the adhesion of
England. With the further accession of
Koumania and Bervia the committee now
represents an aggregate population of 421,440,-
306, distributed o* er Geriuauy, England, Aus-
tria, Hungary, Belgium, the Argentino re-
public, Denmark, Spain, the United States,
France, Italy, Peru, Portugal, Koumania,
Rntsia, Servia, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland,
Turkey and Venezuela.
Something in the Air—Mr. Richard A. Proc-
tor reports that the total lunar oclipse of Oc-
tober 4 presented to him a very unusual ap-
pearance. At the time of greatest obscuration
the moon was barely visible as an ill deflued
ring of a sickly green hue, while its ordinary
appearance at such a time is that of a huge,
glowing, coppery-red ball hung up in the sky.
H e thinks it probable that the earth's atmos-
phere was laden with bometh ing which acted
as a dense screen to the sun's rays, which are
pretty certainly known to be refracted
through our atmosphere into the shadow-cone
to sucn a degree as to produce the usual ruddy
tinge of the moon when totally eclipsed. He
beN whether we are here once more brought
face to face with the cause of the persistent
haze in the sun's neighborhood, and of the late
vrondtrful sunrises and sunsets.
Sanitary Clothing—The clothing reform pro-
posed by Dr. Gustav Jaeger, of Stuttgart, is
said to have been already approved and car-
ried out by thousands of Germans, not a few
Russians, and some Englishmen. Dr. Jaeger
contends that clothing made exclusively from
wool, a natural coveriug for animal bodies,
is the safest and most healthful for mankind
to wear, and he urges its use for all purposes
of men and women. Not only would he ex-
clude every article) made from cotton or other
vegetable fiber from the apparel in use by
day, but he would also reject them from the
beds on which we sleep ut night. He ad-
vocates garments of such form that draughts
of cold air under them are prevented, while he
doubly protects the throat and chest by an ex-
tra thickness of cloth, and keeps the feet clean
and dry by the use of boots of porous leather
or felt and porous inner soles. The advant-
ages of wool over vegetable fibers are claimed
to be very great, as the latter impede the cir-
culation of the air, retain the noxious emana
tions of the body, and expose the surface of
the skin to sudden change of temperature,
while wool is free from those objections.
Cramped Financially
has no speedy relief, but cramped In the bowels
has a sure one in the use of Dr. Bigprers' Huckle-
berry Cordial, the GREAT SOUTHERN REMEDY
for all bowel affections, and an undoubted boon to
parents who have been spending sleepless nights
in nursing the little ones who had been gradually
wasting away from the drainage upon its system
from the effects of teething, until given the Great
Southern Remedy. For sale by all druggists at 50
cents a bottle.
According to the annual report of the
registrar general of the marriages, births and
deaths in Ireland for 1883, which has just been
issued, there was a decrease of 80,789 in the
population during the year. The marriages
and births are under the annual average for
the preceding ten years.

T bird ward 081
Fourth ward (north) 2IW
Fourth ward (south) 8S3
Fifth ward OJli
Total 8,529
When these counts were made the town was
very quiet, no disturbances having taken
place, and but few diunken men being seen
about the polls.
MANAGERS OF THE POLLS. •
The following gentlemen were officers of
election at the various polls to day:
At the First ward: C. E. Bliss, presiding;
John Brashear and B. F. Conn, judges; Wil-
liam Sanders and H. W. Reichman, clerks;
Frank McGowan and H. A.Wells, supervisors.
At the Second: T. U. Lubbock, presiding
efficer; Milt Geiselman and Joe Cramer,
judges; W. J. McRae and A. M. Gentry,
cleiES.
At the Third: H. P. Roberta, presiding
officer; M. Reichman and F. A. Shaefer,
judges; W. M. Bamberge and Tom Marshall,
clerks; Wm. Williams and Taylor Burke,
supervisors.
The Fourth ward had a poll at the market-
house and one at Adam Clay's store. At the
market-house: General T. B. Howard, pre-
siding e fficer; W m. Autrey and G. Reynaud,
judges; Fiqua »nd Blake, clerks; E. A. Met-
calf and Robert Wilson, supervisors. At the
latter: Adam Clay, presiding officer; M.
Tierman and H. W. Beasley, judges; J. Z.
Gostou and A. Rogers, clerks; Tom Marton,
Jr., and E, D. Morse, supervisors.
At the Fifth: 8. Lyles, presiding officer; J.
D. Weicd and M. Kirlicks judges; John C.
Thomas, clerk; M. Kirlicks and J. D.Wood,
supervisors.
From the opening of the polls this morning
until the close this evening, and up to the
hour of IS to night, everything in the city has
been remarkably peaceful. The wards polled
the following votes: First ward, 408; Second
ward, CIS; Third ward, 1320; Fourth ward
(north side), 460; Fourth ward (south side),
1274; Fifth ward, 888. Total, 4903.
in the year 1882, the total vote of the above
watds numbered only 3816, showing an in-
crease of 1146 votes since that time. The
judges at the polling places say that both the
Demeicratic and Republican tickets are badly
scrate hed, which causes the count to go for-
ward slowly. In the Fifth ward it was
claime d Lv some of the judges that McCarty
was ahead of Fant for sheriff, and that Love-

largest vote was polled, the judges say that
Lovejoy was badly left.
Ju<*ges in other wards claim that, owing to
the heavy scratching, it is impossible to make
any estimate of the strength of any candidate.
Although it is imptttsible to form any idea of
t?ie re: ult of the election tonight, it is certaiu
that all the wards, with perhaps the exception
of the fifth, have carried through the Cleveland
and Hendricks ticket, and it is generally be-
lieved that ntai ly the whole Democratic ticket,
from congressman, has boon successful in the
city. The reports from the outlying
precincts of Harris county are very
meagre and no accurate report of
them can be made until to-morrow. The ro-
tunda of the Capitol hotel has been crowded
with while Republicans and Democrats since
the close of the polls. It is the headquarters
of the Democrats, aud dispatches are bulle-
tined there every few minutes.

THE CIRCUS
Sells Brothers' circus had large audiencos
both night and day. Old citizens say that it
was the most entertaiuing show that ever vis-
ited Houston. All the acts were rapid and of
marked superiority. The day and night were
both unexceptionally fine, the ground selected
level and in good condition, and the perform-
ers in good trim. The street railway company
was compelled to put on a number of extra
ears en the Congress and Preston street belt to
accommodate the great crowds that went to
the big canvass. In connection with the cir-
cus the complete menagerie of the organizi-
tion attracted its share of attention.

[sntdial to Thk news.]
Waco, November 4.—The following gener-
ous offer was received by the Waco Light iu-
fantry to-day:
Slayden Kirksey Woolen Mills, Waco, Tex.,
November 4, 1884.—To the Waco Light In-
fantry—Gentlemen: Being desirous of en-
couraging your organization we take pleasure
in tendering you the cloth to make your uni-
forms. If this is accepted we will make the
goods as soon as we can. Very respectfully,
Si.at dun Kirksey Woolen Mills.
To which the following reply was made:
Ileadmiarters Waco Light Infantry, Waco,
Tex., November 4, 1884.—To the Slayden-
Kirksey Woolen Mills Company—Gentlemen:
The highly appreciated offer on your part to
furnish the cloth to make our uniforms, was
acci pted at a meeting of the eompany, this
evening, amid much applause for the generous
donors. I am requested to thank you most
heartily for your magnanimous an J thought-
ful gift. We will be proud to wear goods
manufactured in Waco, and trust that the
career of the Waco Light infantry may be
such as to occasion no regret for your encour-
agement and kindness. Your establishment
of the woolen mills here has added to the im-
portance, and is a Bource of pride to the city
of Waco. We hope you may meet with the
abundant success your enterprise deserves.
Yours respectfully, Ed. A. Marshall,
Secretary.
Captain Shapley P. Ross and his wife, two
cf the earliest settlers in this county, cele-
brated tbeir golden wedding here to day.
They came to Texas in 1839, and have lived to
see Waco grow from an Indian village to its
present magnitude. Captain Ross is now sev-
enty-three years of age—a hale, hearty old
man, with unimpaired mental vigor. He and
the faithful wife of half a century have led
one of the most exciting of frontier and pio-
neer lives until now, in the evening of life,
they are enjoying a serene old age, surrounded
by sons, daughters, grandchildren and thou-
sands of friends. Their children and many
old friends have called on them during the
day, and to-night they held a public reception
in the new park, where they were again hon-
ored by the presence of hundreds of our citi-
zens.
GOVERNOR HENDRICKS.
llow He Spent the Day—Interviewed by an As-
sociated Press Reporter.
Indianapolis, November 3.—The election
in this city was quiet throughout, and a full
vote was polled. Governor Hendricks cast his
ballot at the Second precinct, Twelfth ward,
near noon to-day, and then, in company with
Hon. James H. Rice, auditor of the State,
made a tour of the polls of the city. Every-
where be was received with the utmost cor-
diality and respect. Returning home, he
spent the evening in his library with a few
personal friends, where he received the bulle-
tins of the Associated Press. The company
was small, comprismg Judge Niblock, of the
Supreme Court, William Henderson and
Aquilla Jones.
To an Associated Press reporter, who called
on him early in the evening, Mr. Heudricks
expressed himself as gratified more than any-
thing else with the reflection that the struggle
was ended.
" You doubtless feel comfortable over the
result ?"
" Well, having accomplished the object of
the contest, I feel like laving it aside now like
an old mitten. I entered upon a campaign
the like of which I never expected to make
again, but having been drawn into it, of
course, I wanted to succeed."
The governor expressed great anxiety as
to the result in Indiana. He said the people
were much more interested in the canvass
even than in 1876, which was the prettiest
political contest he ever witnessed. He did
not conceal his anxiety to have his anticipa-
tions of the result in this State confirmed by
the returns. But none were at haud. At that
time the only messages he had received were
those of inquiry. He expected to stay up till
midnight receiving returns and would then
retire.

A BOLD GAME.
Alexander C. Dranseoni Run to Earth on the
Charge of Forgery.
New York, November 4.—The police ar-
rested Alexander C. Branscom, who had car-
ried out a scheme of swindling, which came
near being successful and reaping a fortune
for the originator. Branscom is one-armed,
but wields a pen with his left hand with won-
derful skill. He has served three years and
a-half in prison for forging Florida water
bonds. His scheme was to publish two elabo-
rate works of interest to visitors aud exhibit-
ors in the ]Sew Orleans World's fair, a guide-
book and a costly illustrated book, called Re-
sources and Attractions of the South, sell ad-
vertising space worth $36,000, find dispose of
books and copyright in cash for a round sum,
in the meanwhile depending on forgery for Jhe
necessary means to keep the scheme going till
its completion. He contracted with the Ameri-
can News company to take 100,000 guide
books and copyright at $25,000, and the Re-
sources at 150,000, and of the latter 10,000
copies were to be printed, and it was to be
sold at $10 per copy. The money
was to be paid in a lump on delivery
of the beiok. He forged a letter' of
ictrodnction purporting to be written by E 1-
ward Richardson and William Oliver, presl -
dent and secretary of the Mississippi Woole:i
mills, representing him as agent and aotbor-
ized to publish the proposed works. Richard-
ton is the president of the New Orleans World's
exhibition and a prominent Southern man.
With these letters he found no difficulty in
making contracts for the work and material,
supplying copy himself, and presenting in pay-
ment forged notes payable in four months and
bearing Richardson and Oliver's signatures.
The American Bank Note company is a vio-
tim to the amount of $10,000, and Heler Adams
Paper company $15,000. The latter company
paid Branscom $4500 in e?ash, difference be-
tween the amount of their bill aud his bill.
Conrow & Breis., paper dealers, accepted a
forged note for $12,000 cash and returned to
Branscom $4000 cash. Cosack & Co., printers,
of Buffalo, were caught to the amount of
$2000: J. J. Little & Co., printers, of this city,
were took in for $5000, and Hastings & Ladd,
dealers in card-board, of this city, took a note
for a like amount. The last named firm after-
ward cashed his perseinal note for $1500.
The Century Printing company took a note
for $800 for electrotypes, and the cash Brans-
com received he deposited in the National
Shoe and Leather bank, and drew upon it for
expenses. He thus collected $14,000. In four
months his book would have been out, and he
would have collected $111,000 in one day and
skipped, leaving unpaid debts amounting to
over $40,000.
Connor & Bros, grew suspicious and com-
municated with Inspector Byrnes, and a tele-
gram to the Woolen mills iu Wesson, Miss.,
exposed the forgeries, and the financial agent
of Mr. Richardson in New York swore out a
warrant, and Branscom was arrested last
night in the Stewart building, where he had
hired an office. He admitted his crime and
was hefd on the charge of forgery. Ten thou-
sand copies of the Resources and Attractions
of the South were to have been printeei, and
the loss would be so great and the books are
said to have so much genuine merit, that it is
proposed to have them completed and pub-
lished on the original plan by a syndicate of
creditors, who will take up and pay the notes.

The lighting of Hell Gate, New York, last
week, was pronounced an entire success. The
rays of the 54,000-candle-power Brush Swan
light were cast far over New York, Long
Island City and the sound. Vessels forty
miles out on the sound distinguished the
steady glow. During the evening a large fire
iu Harlem reflected its light over the upper
portion of the island, and afforded an excel-
lent opportunity to test the strength of the
light. Viewed from a distance the light ap-
peared a ball of white light, but on nearer ap-
proach it was seen to b' made of nine Brush
lights, each of OUOO-candle p >wer. The lamps
are placed at an elevation of 250 feet. The
electric current is produced by a dynamo bat-
tery, driven by a twenty-three-horse-power
engine, and it is asserted that the Hell Gate
light is the most powerful one In the world.
