It will bo seen that republican gains this
year , over the total vote cast In 1S92 , which
was SG.OOO. amounts to something over 10-
000 votes. This gain Is considerably greater
than that of the fuslonlsts. In 1S92 the
populist vote for presidential electors was
82,000 ; the democratic vote 24,000 and the
prohibition vote close to 1,800. The com
bined vote of the populists and democrats
In 1892 gives a total of 106,000. showing n
fusion gain this year of a llttlo more than
9,000 as compared with the 10,000 repub
lican gain. Levering , the straight pro
hibition candidate , received 458 more votes
than Ilentley In his own state. The com
bined vote of the two wings of the prohibi
tion party this year falls short of the vote
of 1892 by 2SCO on electors. The fuslonlsts
hung together much better than the repub
licans. There Is only a difference of 1,383
between the highest nnd lowest vote on
fusion elector ? , while there Is a difference
of 2.103 between the highest and lowest
vote cast for republican electors.
Thcro seems little doubt at the state house
regarding the total loss of all amendments ,
but the totals on these will not be completed
before , Friday night late. If then. The fu-
slcnlsts are on the anxious scat with ref
erence to the action of the state canvassing
board In the matter of the election of "Neville
and Klrkpatrlck , and are wondering how
thosn gentlemen are to bo counted In If all
the amendments are lost.

CATTLK For a holiday there was a
pretty fair run of cattle , hut onohalf of
the eattle hero were consigned dlreet to
packers , so that there were hardly enough
on suit ) to make u market.
There were no beef Htoors nf nny ac
count and only n very few COWH and lielf-
ers so tlmt the yards were almost bare of
killing cattle. What tberp were hero sold
early and at fully Hteaiiy prices.
In the feeder division the trade partook
largely of the holiday character and the
actual business transacte ; ' , was small. As
might be oxpectl-d on a holiday there were
no country buyers1 In and local operators
were not very anxious to buy. Thrru was ,
however , another reason for the dullness
In the feeder market it ml that was the
scarcity of thc'cattlo ' on Main. Whllo the
most of the cattle In the yards were feed
ers , holders were keeping a good ninny
of them hack and itbt showing tlinm on ac
count of the stormy weather. The steady
fall of sleet made rattlu look anything but
desirable and owners seemed to prefer hold
ing over until another day , rather than offer
their cattle under , mich unfavorable condi
tions. The f'\y.11VUtlo ( that sold brought
about yestordijy s prices. llepresentatlve

Tlio practlco of pORonotoiny. the barbor.1-
Bay , is every year becoming more and inort'
widespread. rosouolomy la what the
Greeks used to call the gentle art of nclf-
Hhavliif , ' . Some pi-oiilo shave theinsclvr
because they wish to save time , othera t
save money. Hut the fashion ot gel
smooth shaven , says the New York Sun , I
stc.illly ( Increasing , and It Is qnlto prouabl
that within another llvo years beards and
mustaches will ho still less in vogue that
they are today.
The decadence of the heard among rlvll
Ized racts , and the reason for Its disappear
nnco , are Interesting things to trace. lyjnj ,
thought to ho
ago a luxuriant heard was
token a high degree of holiness or wisdom
Bven now the believers In the Koran reverence
once the heard , and swear by that of their
prophet. Hut It would seem that In this
very Idolatry of the beard lay the cause of
Us downfall , for the pcasessor of a hand
some beard was prone to vanity , and was
likely to spend so murh time In decorating
It that he ran the risk of neglecting moro
Important matters. So the church diid stale ,
then cloiely Joined , declared against It.
The French swells of less than MO years ago
useil to crimp their beards , twine them with
threads of gold and hang them with pearls.
I'hlllp of Valols , who was ono of the lead
ers of fashion of Ills day , used to tie golden
acorns In his board. The result was that
popes and monarchs began to Issue bulls and
edicts against hirsute appendages , some
times with temporary effect and sometimes
with none at all. 1'opc Leo IX and ( iregory
VII anathcmlzcd the beard , anil this means
tint they cursed It root and branch , for a
papal anathema In those days was something
sweeping and terrible.
In llio army the first reason for abolishing
the beard wen that of cleanliness. Up to
the time of Alexander tlio llrcat the ( Jreeka
were a bearded people , but that ruler made
every ono of his Qrcclan soldiers Hhnve. The
Honiara , too. made shaving obligatory In
the army , and there were few beards or
none among the civilians. The beard was
thvn considered In he the characteristic feature -
turo of the barbarian. The ( Irst Roman
whom history records as having huvod
jvcry day was Sclplo , the concjueror of Af
rica. In later times I'etcr the Great of Hus-
Nla tnado an attempt to ban lull the heard
from his hnlf-clvlllzcd dominion , hut
achieved only an Incomplnto victory and atone
ono time even endangered his throne by
the malntenai.co of Ills decree. William the
Conqueror wa another great commander
who would have no beards about his court
or umung his soldiers. In Franco In ICri.l
all the lawyers were forced to go clean
shaven , nnd eight years later thu clerliu lost
their beards by law.
And so the barber'M trade has grown , hut
low they thomsclvtu acknowledge that their
ranks ( ire swelling faster than tlioso of their
customers. In times of financial prosperity
the harbcra' pockets hulgu with coin , hut
when hiiMiii'SH hi depressed , they Hay , their
customers by the ficoro shave themselves.
No ono would over think of making the
modern barber a hero of romance , Ilka the
barbciu who ( lit through the pages of tlio
Arabian Nights or Oil Ulan , it would ho
hard to fancy that the ancestor of the man
who uuaves you today and trloa to force on

Most barber shops nowadays seem to con
sider the amusement ot their custnmcm
qulto suniclently attended to If they are
furnished , while waiting , with n supply of
comic papers nnd those pink sheets partial
to pugilists. Llfo would bo a gayer pil
grimage if there were a few of such shopa
nowadays n's that ono In Cambridge which
James Husscll Lowell describes In his "Klre-
sldo Travels. " Among the curiosities them
displayed was a largo whllo cockatoo which
"harangued vaguely at Intervals In what
wo believed ( on H.'s authority ) to bo
the Hottentot language. Ho had an lin-
veraclouH air , hut what Inventions of for
mer grandeur ho was Indulging In , what
sweet South African Argos he was remem
bering , what tropical heats and giant trees
by unconjeetured rivers , known only to tho.
wallowing hippopotamus , wo could only
giKfis at. " There were many other curi
osities , which In the boyish mind gave rlso
to the "theory that H. ( the barber ) wna Im
mensely rich ( how could he possess HO iniJC
and be otherwise ? ) and that ho pursued
his calling from an amiable eccentricity. "
Hut even a more pretentious barber's mu
seum was that which used to exist In Lon
don. In a little house In Cheyno Walk , which
Is described In Martin's hook on "Old Chel
sea. " It was kept by n man nai.ted Sailer ,
whn "was a thin llttlo man , with a hungry
look as of ono fond of philosophy or of fret
ting. " Vice Admiral Mundon , Just homo
from years of service on the Spanish roast ,
dubbed him Don Saltern , a title he carried
( his death. Ho took In all the papers and
had musical Instruments lying about , hn
himself twanged. Dnn-lllio. the guitar , that
his customers might divert themselves whllo
awaiting tholr turns. Ills master had given
him a lot of rubbish for which his own
house had no more room , as well as dupli
cates of curiosities of real value In the mu
seum In Illoomsbury. To those ho added
others of his own Invention ; the Inevitable
hit of the Holy Cross , the pillar to which
JCBUS was tied when scourged , a necklace or
Job's ( ears , ar.d In the window this rhymed
