Harrison led Cleveland 14,31.1 in the
State, While Hill led .Miller 10,223. The
Saloon vote, when it is cast solidly for
any party in any Northern Slate, is cast
for the Democracy. The New York
whisky men had bjt little interest ia the
national result, hence, in the contest on
President, they divided on purely parti
san lines. Oa the Governorship, how
ever, the case was different. Nearly
every Republican saloon-keeper in the
.State appears to have cast his ballot for
Hill, The whisky men were ally assist
ed in their scheme y the Prohibitionists.
Every Prohibitionist in the state knew
that Miller was a friend and Hill an
enemy of the temperance cam, and
jet the Prohibitionists went through the
farce of voting for their candidate for
Governor when thc3' not only knew there
was no possibility of his elect i n, but
that every vote c.-i forhim was virtually
a vote in favor of the liquor interei-t.
This particular piece of idiocy will un
doubtedly so weaken the partisan pro

J:'Our evening primrose does not bloom

which open in the twilight haye adapted
themse'ves to the crepuscular moths and

striking illustration in the in.stances of
' many long tubular-shaped night-blooming
flowers, like tha honeysuckle and

'GIVE ME A LIGHT!"
PfOplo Who Object to Doing So View of
Various Natlonitlitlrn.
"Will yer give me a little fire, mister?"
said a tough from the Sixth ward to a
reporter who fctood on the front platform
of a Court street car tl.e : l er day. The
light was given, 1 1 tl. viih a "Tanks,"
the tough began inuring from bis mouth
a volume of smoke firm a live cent cigar
which was simply t tilling. A well dressed
man stood at the rej oi tcr's ride, and, as
the fumes from the tough's cigar reached
him. remarked:
"It's pretty bard to have to give a light
for (.ueh a caus-c. Do you know, I'm in
the tobacco business inyK-lf. I nm not
in the retail business. I am an importer.

give a light to any Tom, Dick or Harry
that comes along. You know many
men, and I am one of them, like to
smoke a cigar so as to leave the as-h
on the end. Moreover, I am particu
lar about my cigars. You can neither
preserve the- h or bo particular if
you smoke in public, for a man is con
sidered a boor if be does not cheerfully
give a light when asked for one. This is
tho custom in all countries. For in
stance, in Spain, and this manner of giv
ing a light is co ied both by tho French
aud Italian, when u man is asked for a
light he bows most gracefully and, as if
anxious to do the other a favor, presents
his cigar, holding out the lighted end
at a slight angle between the thumb
and second linger. The other deceives
(be cigar, imd after getting the needed
light lrom it, returns it with even a more
graceful ltow than that bestowed upon
himself. Each then raises his hat and
turns to go away. The Spaniard in
vaifibly smokes through bis nose. lie
considers 'it Vkar-iet'ul tp snioko through
his mouth, and inveteiato Vmokeis of all
countries agree with him."
"Do you agree with him in that opin
ion?" "No, J can't say that I do, although 1
arki"iovl.ilga that thp eensatjon produced
upon the delicate neives of tho noso s
exquisite. I myself, however, am per
fectly satisfied with smoking in the ordi
nary way. I suppose liecause I am ac
customed to it. The Spaniards may bo
right, however, for any smoker must
have noticed that if be shuts his eyes and
smokes he cannot tell whether his cigar
is lighted or not. This, I think, shows
thaf ike peryes of the mouth and palate
MXn become dendeneil pf at east
tiallv to."
"What nationality is the most reluc
tant in giving a light.'"
'The average Englishman, I think,
hales to do it. You just ask one for a
light iuui see. Fjit be looks at you as if
wondering at your presumption. Then
he tabes his cigar from his mouth" and
looks at jt as if bating to part with it
even for t momcvifr Net ie hands it to
you logrudgingly and acts as it" he had
achieved a mighty feat in condescension.
Instead of lifting his hat he is more apt
to thrust his hands in his trousers pocket,
an.d be receives it back be stalks off
with' ""an air pf indignation. Never ask
an Englishman ' for a light if you cun
help it. The German asks for a light
more politely than he gives one. No
mattci.-' hoiv prbanelv willing he endea
vors to appear, there' is an pxpression pf
reluctance on bis face which is amusing.
Soni; times when bis cigar is burned
nearly tV an nd hp will throw it away
upon' receiving it again. 'ruis act,
among the Latin races, is considered ex
tremely boorish and has led to duels.

"Try Ayer's Pills"
For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and Gout.
Stephen Lansing, of Yonkers, . N. Y.,
says : " Kecomuieuded as a cure for
chronic Costiveness, Ayer's Pills have
relieved me from that trouble and also
from Gout. If every victim of this dis
ease would heed only three words of
mine, I could banish Gout from the land.
These words would be ' Try Ayer's
Pills.' "
" By the use of Ayer's Tills alone, I
cured myself permanently of rheuma
tism which had troubled me several
months. These Fills are ut once harmless
and effectual, and, I believe, would
prove a specitic in all cases of incipient
Rheumatism.
No medicine could have served me in
better steud." C. C. ltoek, Corner,

C. F. Hopkins, Nevada City, writes :
"I have used Ayer's Pills for sixteen

in the world. We keep a box of them

eared me of siek headaeheand neuralgia.
Since taking Ayer's Pills, I have been
free from these complaints."
'' J have derived great hepeflt from
