ELECTIONS TO HALL OF FAME ames.of Three Women and Five Meat Added to the List by the Board. NEW YORK, Oct. 10. Three women and five men were chosen today to receive tab lets in the Hall of Fame at New York uui verstty when the canvass of the votes In the second quinquennial election was com pleted. Maria Mitchell was the only Ameri can scientist to be elected at this time, though Louis Agassis, with eighty-two votea secured admission as a foreign born American. A curious commentary on Maria Mitchell's election la the tact that eight of the electors, chiefly scientists, refused to vote for any woman, thus reducing the number of votes necessary to elect a wo man forty-seven, while fifty-one were r quired for a man. .. Mary Lyon, founder of Mount Holyoke college, and Emma Wlllarii. the author of "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" and a' famous educator were the other women hnnored. Alexander Hamilton, with eighty-seven votes, the highest number received by any candidate at this election, and John Paul Jones with fifty-three shares with 'Agassis the honors of being the first American Im mortals of 'foreign birth. Two American statesmen were chosen John Qulncy Adams, whose tablets will occupy a niche next to that of his rather, John Adams, he having received flfty eiffht votes and James Madison, who secured admission with fifty-six votes. Patrick Henry. John C. Calhoun and Andrew' Jackson fell a half dosen votes short of securing bronxe tablets to record their fame and Samuel Adams was again defeated. James Monroe's votes flurn bered only twenty-three. Seward Sumner, DeWitt Clinton, Garfield, John Jay and Stanton were among the statesmen who failed to be elected.

Gillette Pays the Cash. Dr. Gillette testified that he paid these amounts personally In cash and later In the day Mr. McCurdy ssld that while ho knew campaign contributions had been made he did not know the amounts. He said that no. contributions had been made to campaign committees before 189 and that no contribution to state or municipal campaigns had ever been made In this or any other state. The contribution of $2,500 to the congressional campaign com mittee, Mr. McCurdy said, he knew nothing about until It came out in the testimony last week. An Interesting statement was made by Robert Olyphant when he was on the stand early in the day. Mr. Olyphant Is chairman of expenditures and he could not tell .what . the. $25,000 Items drawn to his order were for beyond that they were for legal expenaes. He said the company main tained a confidential fund for expenditures for which no voucher was taken and no receipt waa received. These payments were made upon assurance of an executive officer that "they were all right." Vice President Granniss knew little about the contributions to campaign funds, but Justified them on the same ground aa President John A. McCall of the New York Life, that the sliver plank in the demo cratic platform was a menace to the inter ests of the policyholders. Solicitors Have Carte Blanche. When Mr. Crimmlns was called he as sumed the entire responsibility for the terms of the contracts with C. H. Raymond & Co., by which that firm made such largo profits. When the method of the expendi ture of the $26,000 items, was Inquired Into Mr. Granniss admitted that the general solicitor . fouUl . gt $25,000 any time lie wanted It without disclosing for what pur pose he wanted It and" without ' rendering ny . account of it. He further said he never ' knew where a cent of the money spent by the general solicitor went. In taking up a detailed list of the company's expenses Dr. Gillette said that the com pany last year paid $72,000 for luncheons for the employes. It Is a custom for the com puny to furnish its clerks with luncheon. This is at a rate of about $250 a day. President McCurdy was on the stand all of the afternoon session. He detailed the manner of his entrance Into the Insurance business. He practiced law for nine years and was" counsel of the Widows' and Orphans' Benefit Life Insurance company, of which C. H. Raymond was the president. When the company went out of business Mr. McCurdy went with the Mutual Life. Mr. McCurdy testified that he never knew what Mr. Thebaud, his son-in-law, was getting' out of the business of C. H. Ray mond Co. and said he did not think It was any of his buslaess to ask about Mr. Thebaud's personal affairs. He said the company paid the commissions to get the business and that was all he knew. All contracts were . made without his knowl edge. Witness said on - the matter of salaries that he never requested that his salary be raised and all such increases he took as complimentary to his management of the business. They were always made by the committee on salaries of Its own volition.

Vivacity and happiness are everywhere. In the sea of faces In boxes and balcony not one of gloomy mien can be found. Sc buoyant with life are men and women si: around, and so brilliant the soa of colot In gowns and decorations, it seems tht powers of heaven and earth had been com bined to make of this a gala night. It Ii the second night of the Horse Show anc why should not Omaha be gayT A deep hum of conversation Is heard ot every hand, broken now and then by tht ripple of girlish laughter or the amusee bass of beauty's masculine escort. Away In some far off comer the orchestra plays soft waltxes or popular ditties and lends a dreamy air to the environment. Out In the middle of the arena Is the Judges' stand, and In It, or standing around it, are the men, experienced from youth in the merits of horseflesh, who are to awatd the blue and the red and the yellow rib bons. While the spectators sit chatting and laughing, paying no attention to the arena, these men stand expectant, for It Is almost time for the horses to enter. Suddenly the bugler sounds his clear notes on the horn. The orchestra stops playing, the Judges turn their faces toward the entrance, the bobbing of heads and the buss of conversation la stilled. It Is not the rtiplrs of the day or the gossip of so ciety which Interests the people now, but the horses. The gate at the entrance opens at the sound of the horn, a movement la seen along the driveway leading from tha outdoor world into the auditorium and a pair of spanking bays to speed wagon swings Into the arena. The show la on In earnest. Women Win Ovation. In such manner began the exhibition last night at the Auditorium. All the boxes and all he seats on the lower floor were full, as well as many rows of the balcony. It waa a house of people appreciative and enthusiastic, as their loud applause proved whenever an old - favorite appeared, . or when some horse new to them showed especially good points, Omaha men who had entries were delighted with the, way in which the multitude cheered when they drove pa?t, and at times when an Omaha woman appeared' the ovation waa tre mendous. It has been said many times that when a woman does a thing, it Is much more interesting and attractive than when a man does it. This must have been the opinion of the Spectators last night. Judging by the rampant enthusiasm they evinced at the sight of beauty with the reins. It Is especially appropriate, said one who ap plauded, that to woman, who Is the most gracious and the 'most beautiful creature In the world, and to the horse, which la the noblest beast lu the world, we should offer our tribute all 'the same time. The attendance last night was a matter of gratification to the management. Not a seat waa left downatalra and only a few of, the most undesirable ones on tha second floor. The number present waa much larger than Monday night and greatly . In excess of the second -night of last year. The decorations of the Auditorium are very pleasing this year.

"There has been a great mistake made." he said, "about the real province of life Insurance companies in these latter years.

Society at It Best. Whenever the word "horse, show" Is spoken the1 hearer naturally expects to hear the word "swagger" before the conversa tion has proceeded far. It is a term, with expressive sound indeed, which fits in wl'.h horse show. One has only to see t)i show to realise what swagger means. Tha trappings of th horses, the smart tailored suits of the feminine drivers, the riding ami driving costumes of the men, the liveries of the footmen and the array of gowns and dress suits In the boxes all give him an Im pression. In fact a very feeling of clothes. which he will never get elsewhere. Clothe may not make the man, but they are a necessary adjunct, and the wearer of beau tiful and stylish garments is surely a bless ing to the eyes of his fellows.

It waa not long before they began to walk and long before the Intermission came many had left their seats. Kvrniuit's Premier Event. The event par excellence, tho piece de resistance of the evening, was the contest between local women drivers.
