Both Sides Claiming the Election of
President and Governor.
From the bulletins that came in over
the wires Tuesday night, and as pub-
lished in Tue Darmy Reriector
Wednesday morning, it looked like
McKinley had swept the country and
would receive a large majority of the
electoral vote over Bryan.
The almost complete suppression of
aews during Wednesday, and nothing
at all being given out to confirm the
bulletins of the night betore, aroused
suspicion that something was wrong,
and that at best the result would be
close. Repeated efforts were made to
get news; but nose could be had.
About 3 oTclock in the afternooa
the following was received from Tar-
boro: oIt is believed here that Bryan
is elected, because we are getting no
bulletins, the Western Union Compauy
being operated by gold bugs and the
last night affair being a fake.�T
This instantly aroused hope among
Democrats that Bryan was safe and
that when the actual result could be
ascertained he would be elected.
About 0 oTclock the following was
oThe latest returns are fa.
still
will
received :
vorable to Bryan. Democrats
ciaim his election, and that be
nave 256 electoral votes. T
This caused hope to sprivg " still
higher, and the following received this
morning makcs the outicok all the
the more favorable.
Mr. Bryan gives out the following :
oThe Democrati, national committee
cluimsenough votes to make a majority
in the electoral college, but the vote is
very close in. evera! of the States and
the result will not be known positively
uutil the entire vote is counted in all
close contests. It is wise for bozh sides
9 watch the re~urns to guard against
the possibility of a mistake intention"
ally or unintentionally.�
Democrits are cliiming that Bryan
his 2.96 electoral votes and Republicans
we claiming that McKinley has 364.
No news has come during today that
throws any more light on the situation.
It is impossible yet to give the result
in North Carolina. The Republicans
are claiming everything, but chairman
Manley says the indications point to
Watson having the State by a small
majority. He also says Kitchen has
beaten Settle in the fifth corgressional
district and that there are chances for
Adams and Lockhart in their districts.
The returns that have come in so far
from the first district indicate SkinnerTs
election by a large mejority,
Contagious Yawning.
Two young men boarded an
Oldtown trolley car-this week to
getcle a very peculiar wager, the
one having bet the other a #5 sil-

where without saying a word. A

purpose. The young man who
proposed. thewager had not taken

prodigious. yawn. He speedily
followed it ~by another, and await-

Collecting Deb.s.
d
A new way of collecting bad
debts is reported from Paris. A
aman has gone into business here
who will collect exclusive ac-
-eounts which ordinary collectors
have not been able to settle. The
means. he employs to collect
money are particularly aggra"
vating to those from whom he
has to collect. One of his favorite
Schemes, for instance, is to stop
at a debtorTs with his wagon,
around the top of which he dis- ;
plays signs which announce in
very loud colors that oThis bug-
gy only stops in front of the
houses of people who will not
pay their debts.� Everybody, and
particularly business, people
dread this manTs buggy so much
that they prefer to pay the fall
amount of the claim to the col-
lector, who is.seated in the buggy
calmly awaiting deyeloments, in
order to get rid of him, rather
than allow a mob to collect in
front of the place, commenting
upon the presence of this adver-
tising buggy
The debtor has absolutely no
redress, since no one can compel
a man sitting in his buggy in the
Street to move on. Usually it is
but necessary for this collector to
stand in front of a store a few
minutes, when somebody rushes
ovt promising payment the verv
next day or so, which is voluntari-
ly brought to the manTs office,
and it is very unusual for him to
have to appear a second time to
remind his debtors of their prom-
ise to pay.

SOME ANCIENT FAT.
Adipose That Accumulated on a Mammoth
_ Tens of Thousands of Years Ago.
Dr. Dali of the Smithsonian insti-
tution, during his recent visit to
"i ~Alaska, secured a natural history
specinien thatwas a prize indeed.
| Tt was a bit of mammoth fat from
| the actual adipose tissue of an ani-
| mal that had been dead for tens of
thousands of years.
Bodies of mammoths in a fresh
state have been dug ap from time
to time in arctic Siberia, preserved
in natural cold storage since a period
probably antedating the first appear-
ance of manon the earth. That is
an old story, but this is the first
known instance in which the soft
parts of a beast of this species have
~been found on the Ame ican conti-
nent. It is easy to imagine the scien-
tific interest attaching to the discov-
ery.
Ages ago this mammoth died un-
der such circumstances that its cor-
pus was buried in mud. At about
that time there was a great and per-
manent change in the temperature
cf circumpolar regions. The climate
had been subtropical. It suddenly
became frigid. The mammoths were
literally ~~frozen out,TT the last of
the species perishing of cold. This
particular individual, frozen in a
bank of clay, had every prospect of
~okeepingTT for an indefinite-Period.
Hundreds of centuries later a
stream flowing through an Alaskan
valley tackled the clay bank refer.
red to and begarf to cut it away. At
length some big bones stuck out,
and a native of exceptional courage
dug out one or twoof them. This
required more of that quality known
in civilized countries as ~o~nerveTT
than might be imagined, for strange
monsters, however long they may
have been dead, are regarded with
~supersitious awe by savages.
However, the natives finally sum-
,|moned courage enough to drag the
remains of the mammoth out of the
clay bank piecemeal. The body of
the animal had been preserved so
well that a fairly perfect cast of it
was found in the matrix. A quanti-
ty of fat, which overlay the intes-
tines, was obtained and was used
for greasing boats. Dr. Dall secured
a piece of it and fetched it back to
Washington.
In the office of Osteologist Fred-
erick A. Lucas, at the National mu-
seum, is a mammoth's molar tooth,
to which an odd story is attached.
It was got from a spring at Paso
Verde, in the country of the Papago
i A SECTARIAN MULE.
This Mountain Animal Hi Had Prejudices In
the Matter of Sects,
of the Poor fork of the Cumberland
river, letting my horse take its own
head, I eaught up with the moun-
taineer on a mule, also taking his
time. ~~Good morning,TT saysI. ~ItTs
a fine morning for riding.�T
~Mighty, TT says he, ~~ef yTainTt rid-
in a mule.�
oI donTt know about that; some
of the pleasantest rides ITve had in
the mountains have been mule-
back.�T
oThatTs case yer didnTt have ter
ride one only when yer wanted ter.
Ef yer do it frum needcessity, itTs
different. �T
oThat one youTre on seems to be
a pretty good one.�
~* "Bout ez good ez a mule ever gits
ter be, I reckon,TT he said ina tone
indicating his lack of faith in the
mule.
oWhatTs the matter with him?�
~~HeTs got his notions.�
~o~What are they? Notions to kick
the top rail off the fence?�T
~o~No; he ainTt much uv a kicker;
he kinder T pears ter have a satisfied
sort uv mind an takes things pret-
ty much ez they come.T
oThen what ails him?�
| ~Well, I want ter git over on tToth-
er side uv the fork, an I canTt till
I git up here about two miles whar
tharTs a boat, soTs I kin ride over in
that.�
~Why donTt you ride him over?�
oThat's what I donTt like about
him.T
oWhy?�
~~HeTs a BaptisT mule an Bin a
MethTdisT.�T
This was a poser and quite beyond
my scope of comprehension. I had
heard of religious prejudices, but
they had never gone so far as to af-
fect any other animal than man.
~You will have to explain that
point,� saysI. oItTs too far over
for me.�T
oWell, itTs this a-way,TT he said,
with a short laugh. ~~Yer see, I got
this critter from a BaptisT preacher
that had raised him from a colt, an
had rid him fer seven yeTrs on cir-
cuit, an wouldnTt a parted with him
fer no price, only he wuz goin ter Miz-
zoury an couldnTt take the mule
along. He was a power ter work, an
the preacher used ter help out his
wages lettin the mule ter people
when he wuznTt ridinhim. ThatTs
how I come ter git him. Well, the
preacher never said nothin, an I
never axed nothin, an the fust Sun.
Indians. Ever so many centuries
ago a mammoth in its dying agonies |
sought that spring for water and!
fell into it, too weak to climb out.
There its bones remain to this day,
and the Indians believe that if they
were removed the spring would dry
up. Of course such an event in that
region means the destruction of a
village.
Mastodon bones, of course, are
day atter I got him I rid off ter the
MethTdisT meetin, never thinkin
nothin. Abouta mile from the meet-
in house I had ter ford the fork, an
the water wuz purty deep that morn-
in, but the mule knowed the way,
an I jisT let him have his head. An,
by gum, he done it, fer when he
got ter the deepest place he stopped

hTisted his heels an sent me kitin
frequently dug up in. the United
States. The mastodon was a kind
of elephant, but 16 did not belong to
the genus elephans, The mammoth
did not belong to that genus, being
known to modern science as Ele-
phans primi genus. It often hap-
pens that farmers plow up the osse-
ous remains of mastodons, particu-
larly in reclaimed swamps, where
anciently the gigantic beasts became
mired and died from sheer helpless-
ness to get ouf. The tusks are com-
rnonly found so far decomposed that
the ivory crumbles between the fin-
gers.
The first mastodon eyer dug up
was found in 613. The remains of
Inastodons are by no means confined
to the United States, _ They are dis-
covered all over the world"in Eu-
rope, Asia and Asia Minor. They
are much thicker set than the mod-
ern elephant. The lower jawbone
of the full grown specimen weighs
nearly 100 pounds. The first masto-
don .bones. that were dug up were
supposed to be those of giants of an
