any doubt but that ten democratic con

AN OBJECT LESSON
In Restaurant.
A physician puta the query: Have you
never noticed in any large lestiurant at
lunch or dinner, time "the largo number of
hearty, vigorous old men at the tiblca;
men whose ages run from sixty to elihly
years, many of them bald and all perhaps
gray, but none of them feeb.e or sor.lld?
Perhapa the spectacle Is so common as
to have escaped your observation or com- i
ment, but neverthelei-a It is an object lesson.
which meuis somethb g. ;
If you wlllnotlc what these hearty old j
follows ar eatlrg. you will observe that j
they are not munching bran' cracker or
gingerly picking their way through a menu
card of new f angled health foods: on the
contrary they seein to prefer a Juicy roaat
of beet, a properly turned loin of muttor,
and even the deadly broiled lobster. Is
not altogther Ignored.
The point of all of this is that a vigorous
old age depend i upon good digestion and
plenty of wholes.rr. food and not ui ou
dieting and an endear.ir to live upon bran
crackers.
There la a certain class of food cranks,
who seem to believe that meat, coffeo an'.'
many other good things aro rank poison -i,
but the.se cadaverous sickly looking in
dividuals aro a walking condemnation of
their own theories.
The matter in aN nutshell Is that if the
stomach secretes the natural dlgestivo
juloea in sufficient quantity, any whole
some food will be promptly digested; If the
atomach doea not do ao, and certain food
cause distress, one or two of Stuart'a Dys
pepsia Tablets after each meal will remove
all difficulty, because they supply Just
what evwry weak atomach lucks, pepsin,
hydro-chloric acid, dlaatase and nux.
. Stuart's Dyspepala Tableta do not act
upon the bowela and In fact are not strict
ly a lodlrlne, as they act almost entirely
upou the food eaten, digesting It thorough
ly and thus giving the stomach a much
needed rest and an appetite for the next
meal. i
Of people who travel, nine out of ten
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta. knowing
them to be perfectly safe to uae at any
lime and also having found out by ex
perience that they are a aafeguard sgalnal
Indigestion In any form, and eating aa they
have to. at all hours and all kinds of food,
the traveling public for years have pinned
their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists aell them at 50 cents for
full-slxed packages and any druggist from
Maine to California, If his opinion were
asked, will say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tableta la the moat popular and successful
tor any atomach trouble.

CHEYENNE. Wyo., Nov. 8.-(Speal Tel
egram.) Harvey Iigan, the notorious ban
dit finally outwitted four sheriffs and thrir
posses, numbering fully fifty men, and
succeeded in getting out of the country.
The officers thought they had Logan and
his Cody bank robbers bottled up In the
llole-ln-the-Wall, but some time between
Saturday and Monday Logan, disguised as
a sheep herder, having changed outfits
with a flock tender near Lost Cabin, made
his way to Caser, passing Sheriff Webb
and party en route and taking the train for
tho east.
There Is no doubt as to the Identity of
the outlaw, for the herder, who got a big
sum for the exchange, Inspected the bandit
closely.
The gang of robbers split up at the Iloie-In-the-Wall
after Logan left and two men
retraced their steps and are now In hiding
in the Owl Creek mountains not far from
ThermopollB.
The Buffalo, Casper, Thermopolis and
Meetcetse posses have returned, but offi
cers will leave tomorrow for the mountains
to bring in the two robbers, who are known.
SCENESAT THE WHITE HOUSE
(Continued from First Page.)
though It la known that he greatly de
plored his overwhelming defeat In his own
state. He received the discouraging news
in his study, where he sat smoking with
two of his neighbors. The bulletin from
democratic headquarters concerning Judge
Parker's defeat was given to the Judge by
the Associated Press representative. When
asked If tie had any statement to make he
pulled a telegraph blank toward him and
wrote hastily for a moment. Then lie
said: "I am going to send this telegram
to President Roosevelt." The message was
dispatched at once. It was as follows:
ROSKMOUNT, ESOPUS, N, Y. 8:80 p. m.
To President Roosevelt. Washington, D.
C: Tho people by their 'vote have em-
1)hatically approved of your administration.
:iearty congratulations. Yours,
ALTON B. PARKER.
At that hour returns were Indefinite and
the Judge declined to make an extended
statement. He said his telegram to the
president conveyed everything about the
situation that he knew, that the result
was evident even though details were lack
ing. The demeanor of Judge Parker ns he
heard the bulletins read was of cheerful
resignation. He wore the air of one who
could say if he would: "I will die game,"
and dio game he did. He discussed the
returns with his friends, and compared the
figures with former years. It might have
been some other man's defeat for all the
concern he seemed to feel. Around Judgi
Parker throughout the evening were the
members of, his family and their guests,
Mr. and Mrs. Emery Freer and Mr. and
Mrs. Ellis B. Long of Esopus. The bulle
tins were carried from the telegraph office
by messengers and were read by Secretary
McCausland. The first news of the election
was telephoned to Judge Parker from
Poughkeepsie, N,. Y., and showed a repub
lican gain over the vote received by Bryan
in 1900. M
The message was sent by a friend, who
Bald "he feared the republicana had won."
If the Judge agreed with his friend on the
first report he did not show it, but good
naturedly upbraided his Informant for
faintheartedness The first bulletin thnt
came over the wires was from Rome, N.
T., and showed a republican gain in the
governorship contest. The first bulletin on
the national ticket was from Massachusetts
and showed a democratic gain In fourteen
cities and towns. From that time on the
reports Indicated general republican gains.
' In the village of Esopus there was genu
ine grief manifested by democrats, who
gathered in the two Inns and the railroad
station, at the discouraging character of
the returns, but many had foreseen the
result as based upon the returns for the
village, which Judge Parker had failed to
carry by fourteen votes. The bonfire pre
pared for the occasion was not lighted. A
largo number of democrats had placed
wagers on the national result and local
prldo In the candidate had made betting
even, in few instances had odds been asked
or given.
At 10 o'clock Judge Parker received a
telegram from President Roosevelt as fol
lows: "1 thank you for your congratula
tions." Judge Parke.- retired ut 11:40 o'clock,
declining to muke any statement beyond
that Indicated by his telegram to President
Roosevelt.

PLANS FOR MAMMOTH HOTEL
Chicago Proposes to Go Slew Torlt One
Better Twenty-Two Storied
Straetore.
New York is not to enjoy very long a
monoDOlv of gorgeous and costly , hotels.
Chicago proposes to do a trick In that
line that promises to startle the worm.
Tho new hotel Chicago plana to build,
upon which It Is proposed to expend $10,000,
000, will be twenty-two stories high and
dwarf In size and magnlflcanc. it Is prom
ised, any structure of tho kind ever erected.
The builders and owners will be a syndi
cate of Chicago and eastern capitalists,
headed by Otto Young, who will lease them
his recently acquire! block of frontage in
Michigan avenue, between Hubbard and
Eldredge places. The hotel will occupy the
full property, measuring 400 feet In length
by 171 in depth.
"According to our present plans," said
Lawrence Heyworth, son-in-law of Mr.
Young and manager of his real estate In
vestments, to a reporter for the Daily
News, "construction operations will begin
not later than two yeara hence. The prop
erty Is now tenanted by parties who have
leases, which must expire before building
preliminaries can be undertaken. Beyond
determining that the hotel shall be the
finest In the world, bb well as the largest,
we have mapped out little that Is definite.
It is not Mr. Young's purpose, personally,
to erect and manage the hotel, but to
lease tho ground to a corporation, In which
he will be heavily interested. Our arrange
ments assumed definite shape some
weeks ago when we succeeded in Interest
ing important eastern ' people in the enter
prise."
Sky-scraper steel 'construction will be
used In building the new hotel, which will
be the highest' buSdlng tn" Chicago in
point of stories, with the exception of the
Masonic temple.': It MaTIll b: equipped In
the most luxurious fashion money can
supply, being Intended" as ' a home for the
most exclusive class of patrcnage. .
The property Was acquired by Mr. Young
at an approximate cast of $3,000,000, and Is
one of the longest pieces ot continuous
frontage under one ownership In Michigan
avenue. An elevation for a hotel to stand
on the samo site was drawn by Holablrd
& Roche, architects, last year, while the
property was still tn the hands of Honor
brothers, who sold it to Otto Young. Mr.
Heyworth said, however, that the archi
tects to build the hotel had not yet been
chosen. Mr. Holabird had not been com
missioned to make plans for the new
project. D. H. Burnham & Co. are the
architects for the sky-scraper Mr. Young
has In course 'of construction at Wabash
avenue and Madison street.
Among the magnificent hotel establish
ments of the world which Mr. Young's
project will attempt to outshine are the St.
Regis and the Valdorf-Astoria in New
York, the Cecil and Carlton In London,
ths Elysee palace, the King Edward In
Toronto and the Rttx in Paris, the Bristol
in Berlin, the Schwelzerhof at Lucerne,
Switzerland, and other establishments
which have heretofore ranked as unequaled
in their appointments and extravagant
equipment.
Europe and America will be ransacked,
according to Mr. Heyworth, to make Chi
cago's new hotel not only one of the prides
of the city, but one. of the architectural
and Interior decorative wonders of the
modern construction age.
LAWSOiYS PICTURE OF ADDICKS
The Delaware Gas Magnate Sketched
by the Noted Promoter
of Boston.
Thomas W. Lawson B latest literary ef
fort Is a pen picture of J. Edward Addlcks,
in the current Issue of Everybody's Maga
zine. Mr. Lawson deals at length with the
arrival of the Philadelphia flour merchant
In Boston. That city, says Mr. Lawson
"before Addlcks discovered gas there," had
been singularly free from the mushroom
variety of millionaire, which had sprung
up over night In such numbera In New
York and Philadelphia, and was one of the
most trusting, wealth-Investing communi
ties In the world. The campaign of ar
rangement for the "lighting" of Addlcks in
Boston was more elaborate, more astute
and expensive than' ever was organized
for the exploitation of prima donna or
great pianist, declares Mr. Lawson. For
months an advance -agent had been pre
paring the way for his chief's arrlvul In a
blase of glory. There was talk In the pa
pers and among the financiers about the
wonderful water-gas ' process which enor
mously enhanced the profits of gas mak
ing, and suoh rumor was always linked
with the brilliant Philadelphia gas king,
for so the press hud already dubbed him.
Aa the result of this exploitation and of
the most "audacious effrontery" that was
ever witnessed there, Mr. Addlcks con
quered even exclusive Boston. At the time
Addlcks "lit" In' Boston the city numbered
among Its proudest possessions several ex
tremely rich gas companies, and they were
owned by Its "best people." In a short
while Addlcks got what he came to Bos
ton for these gas companies; turned them
out on the publlo in exchange for their
aavings to the extent of $19,000,000 In the
form of bonds and atocks and Addlcka, tj
use his own language, "cleaned up about
n.OOO.OXt," and turned to new fields for hi
peculiar genlua.
In Ma stories about Mr. Addlcks Mr.
Lawson says that once upon a time Ad
dicks, entering Delmonlco's for dinner,
stumbled on two neasboya at the entrance.
One, brokenhearted, was bring consoled by
the other. Addlcks asked: "What'a the
niatter with you, bub?" The consoler ex
plained that liia chum had lost $J his day's
earnings and capital and "his mudder, hla
fadder s dead, an' de babys II get trun out
er de tenement." Addlcks, without more
ado, slipped the suffering young news mer
thant a bill, which his friends supposed
waa $2, to replace the lost funds, until,
as they were taking off their coats in the
hall, the little fellow pushed his way In
with: "8y, boss, did you mean to guv me
der twenty?" Addlcks nodded n good-natured
assent, i,n,i his fren,ig registered si
lently a white mark to his score, and felt
that, after all, somewhere beneath the sur
face he was more of the right sort than
they had given him credit for being. After
dinner, as they left, the newsboy again
approached and paid: Scuse me, boss, but
mo ehum'd like tor thank ye. too. I'm
goln' ter give him a V outer It." Addlcks
looked at the boy n his mildly cold w
and said: "It me have that bill; I -.ill
change It for you." The boy gave It tip,
and Addlcks, after methodically placing It
In his purse, handed him buck a $2 bill,
with: "That's what you lost, Isn't it? And
you (to the second little fellow, who by
this time had mapped out vMona of suits
for the kids and a warm seat in the gal
lery of a Bowery theater) didn't lose any
thing, did you? Well, both of you run
along now."
HIS friends looked at each other. They
knew Addlcks, and from their slate wiped
away the white murk and replaced It with
a deep, broad black one. And yet Addlcks
had made good the loss, done a good deed,
but In an Addlcks way. Mr. Iawson takes
pains to say that Mr. Addlcks - has never
smoked, used profane language nor tustcd
liquor Jn any form.
ALLIGATORS AS BOAT MATES
An Experience with One that Had
Been Apparently Killed Sev
eral Times. I
Alligators move rapidly under water, are
hard to see, harder to hit, and tho harpoon
will penetrate only the least accessible por
tions of the body. Nor docs the title to the
hide necessarily pass with making fast tho
weapon.
One afternoon In the Cheesehowitzkee
river I harpooned a large alligator which
towed me up and down the stream for nn
hour or two and then sulked in its deepest
part. I pulled on the line until the boat
was directly over him and stirred him up
with the harpoon pole. He rolled himself
up on the line In the manner peculiar to
sharks and alligators, and banged the boat
suggestively. We rowed to the bank, and,
making fast to soma bushes, hauled on tho
line until we succeeded In worrying him
nearly to the boat, when he rose to the
surface and attacked us with open mouth.
We repelled the" attack with harpoon pole
and rifle. The fortner was promptly bitten
In three pieces, but the latter apparently
finished him. It was st nearly dark that
we decided to carry him In the skiff a mile
down the river to where our nloop was
anchored. We broke the sats out of the
boat, nnd together mftnnged to lift the
head of the alligator aboard end tie it.
We then tied the other end, vhen the
reptile came to life and landed a blow with
his tail which lifted me out of the skiff
into the saw grass, with the breath knocked
out of my body and my hand and face
badly cut by the grass.
Boat and boatman were capsized. As
my rifle hud fortunately been left upon the
bank I was able to kill the alllgato:- again.
We secured him by floating the boot under
him and then balling It out. The alligator
completely filled the boat, so that my com
panion and I sat upon his back as wo
paddled down the river with gunwales un
pleasantly near the water. ,
It was growing dark and the water
around us was becoming allv with alli
gators. While we were reflecting upon our
overloaded condition our alligator came to
life again and shifted ballast until water
poured over the gunwale. We quickly bal
anced the boat, only to see It again dis
turbed and to ship more water. A scramble
for the shore followed, which we reached
without capsizing and where we left our
victim for the night after again killing him.
In the morning our buzzard friend from
the Homosassa. river, surrounded by hla
family, was sitting above him in the tree
waiting for us to attend to our carving
duties. .
There are drawbacks to hunting in the
great cypress swamp. Even natives have
beej lost nnd died in its recess. It is
bounded on the east by the everglades and
on the west by a series of impenetrable
mangrove thickets, alternating with deep
channels. If lost one should turn his face
firmly to the north, and as a guide re
marked to me "he ought to get somewhere
in three or four days." Country Life In

low places for evaporation. These ponds
were flooded In the spring and the salt de
