MASSACHUSETTS BOSTON, Nor. 8. Sufllclent returns from today'! election In Massachusetts have been received to 11 o'clock to indicate a victory for Roosevelt and Fairbanks electors, but at the same time a defeat of Governor Bates for election by William Lv Douglas, the democratic candidate. The republicans elected the rest of the atate ticket, at least ten of the fourteen congressmen and a large majority of the legislature, which will select two United States senator. The democrats elected, besides their candidate for governor, at least thre congressmen. Roosevelt's majority Is eHtimated at 82,000. MISSISSIPPI JACKSON. Nov. 8L Return coming in show that between B0.0OO and 70,000 votes were cast and the opposition to the demo cratic party will poll between 10,000 and 11,000. The democratic majority for Parker and Davis will do In the neighborhood of 50.009. ; . Mississippi returns eight democratic con greaaxnen, the republicans making no oppo sition. MONTANA i HEUINA, Mont., Nov: 8.' The pioba blllty la that J. N. Dixon, republican, Is re-elected congressman. J. K. Toole, demo crat, 'will probably defeat Lindsay, repub lican. I NEW JERSEY NEWARK, Nov. i. New jersey was car ried by th republicans by a larger ma jority than even the moat sanguine of the republican predictiona. The state gives In the neighborhood of 60,000 for Roosevelt, exoeedlng McKlnley'a majority four yeara ago by 1.000 or more. Despite a local issue against him and which caused him to be cut severely in several parte of the state, Stokes, repub lican candidate for governor, defeated Black, democrat, by mora than 20,000. Eight republicana and yno democrats will constitute the state's congressional delega tion, a gain of one for the republicana. Allen defeated Congressman Hughes In the Sixth district- The legislature is overwhelmingly repub lican, and John Kean will probably succeed himself aa United Statea senator. NORTH CAROLINA RALEIGH, N. C. Nov. 8. There Is hardly any doubt but that ten democratic con gressmen have been elected. Only tho two mountain districts are in doubt. These the republicana do not concede. The demo cratic majority appears to be about 50,000. Th Eighth and Tenth congressional die- 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.

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. Fairbanks la Pleaaed. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 8. Senator Fair banks, when told of a New York'dlsputch saying that tin democratic nutlonal committee-had conceded every doubtful state to Roosevelt and Falrbunks, was much pleased over the news, but- would give no expression. Senator Fairbanks has a spe cial wire In his residence connected with the White lloure ot Washington. Up to 8:30 the senator had received no dispatches from Washington. Murphy Can't Exnlalu It. NEW YORK, Nov. 8. Charles F. Mur phy, leader of Tamnmny Hull, made the following statement tonight: , Of course I am very much surprised at the result. I do not attempt to account for it. Whatever may have been the cause, it will develop and the party can then deal with it. I sincerely regret the defeat of Judge Parker. He was In all respects a worthy candidate. As much tun be unlit for JihIkh Herrlck and his nssoclnteu on the vtute ticket. They undoubtedly wer the choice of tho democracy und their defeat Is to be regretted more for the nuke ot the country and tho party than for the candidates Indi vidually.

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 Amerlci. SALT FROM UTAS GREAT LAKE Present State of the Evaporating; In dustryInteresting Facta About the Lake. Th fireat Salt lake aa a salt producer has always been a theme that enlists in- prost According to a Washington letter Edwin C.

About the year 1860 dams were ullt to hold large quantities of water In low places for evaporation. These ponds were flooded In the spring and the salt de nnniini itnrinar the summer by solar evap oration whs gathered Into pllea along the banks and carried over rrom one year to another.
