The senate \mains democratic, but the house Is doubt and n o t h in g definite may be *nown in several days. Thero Is likelihood, too, th a t it m ay take an official count in some of the States to decide the Presidential contest. One. of the sure things is th a t prohibition has made w o n d e rful Btrldes in M ichi gan, South Dakota, Nebraska, Mon tana and Arizona, these States hav in g voted dry by m ajorities that are startling, and w h ile the amendment lo r absolute prohibition in California is defeated, the one closing all sa loons is said to have been carried. Tbe entire Republican ticket in this county is elected by majorities ot 1000 to 16 00 and the proposition to estblish a tuberculosis hospital •went through by approximately 1700. Here is the vote in Livonia for the m a in candidates by districts: 'Now what is this we read in the Philadelphia Public Ledger of Octo b e r 18th? “At a meeting of the TxiarS'Df-health yesterday afternoon eighteen more piggeries were aon- dem n e d . No action can be taken against these piggeries until the co u r t renders a decision in the injune tio n suits brought by the owners to prohibit the city authorities from destroying the pens.” The above is the only data to guide one in com menting intelligently on this matter o f the piggeries of Philadelphia, but the inference is, as the notice speaks o f “eighteen more,” that some have previously been under the ban. A close reading, too, indicates that there •r e other piggeries which have not as y e t been condemned. The piggeries against which action is to be taken have evidently for some reason in curred the ill will of members of the board of health. Possibly the own ers of the piggeries in question are women who have no vote and there fore no political pull Perhaps the piggeries are so centrally located that they interfere with the traffic regulations; but one is inclined to believe that the first suggestion is the more likely of the two. Of course one who resides in a place where there are no piggeries is hardily com petent to judge of the conditions in a city where at least eighteen of them may be examined by tourist.-, but it seems almost a pity to destroy the pens, many of which no doubt are cherished landmarks Should the courts ultimately decree their de struction, it would be a convincing argument for the referendum and recall. The show places of a city like Philadelphia should not be de molished at the behest of a political board of health. The Gazette ha:-, no patience with deals of this kind. The Bell telephone company is r u n n ing a series of advertisements in this paper w h ich have for their ob ject the co-operation of party-line subscribers, w ith the end in view of a better service. These ads. are little hints whereby the service w ill be made better and therefore more sat isfactory to the person at each end of the line. They tell w h a t is so oft en the cause of delay In the transmis sion, and show how these delays may ••b<5 obviated by a little consideration. ' ^ vK>mpany wants to give a good p and is ru n n in g these ad- faiffroJments in the papers of the county, at a large cost, to the end that?its patrons w ill see the necessity of cheerful co-operation. We have heard of one big mercantile concern which thought so highly of the sug gestion embodied that it had copies of the advertisements printed and distributed to the employes Mr and Mrs W II Kervin of W ash ington. who have boon in Livonia j for a couple of weoks left for their home Wednesday m o rning in their | ( ii r D istrict 1 2 3 PRESID E N T Hughes .......................... 120 160 174 W i l s o n ............................... 89 93 84 - H a n l y ............................... 4 2 4 GOVERNOR W h i t m a n .......................... 109 156 169 Seabury .......................... 77 92 7S W e lch ............................ 9 4 5 U.

Since 182^, when Mexico threw off the yoke of Spain, the few American colonists in Texas had endured much at the hands of the new government. A climax wus reached when Santa Anna seized Mexico City, overthrew the Consti tutionalists and made himself dic tator. He was the particular enemy of the Americans and ordered tho arrest of some of the most promi nent among them. Tliis brought clashes between them and the Mexican soldiers. Friends came from ^Missouri and Louisiana to help, until finally they organized a little army, and with Ben Milam at their head marched upon San Antonio. After a stub born house to house fight they took the town on Dee. 7, 1835. Here they were joined by Davy Crockett and others, and here they awaited the coming of the enraged dictator, fortfying themselves as best they might in the old mission church and its outbuildings. When Santa Anna arrived at the head of his 5,000 men he summoned the 200 Americans shut up in the Alamo to surrender. Their only reply waa a shot fired from the can non that William Travis command ed. The Mexicans immediately laid siege to tho old church, and lor ten days pressed it with vigor. Its de fenders, hopelessly outnumbered and with no chance of re-enforce ment, prepared to fight to the death. On March 6 , to the sound of the \dcguillo” (no quarter), the Mexicans advanced for the final a* sault. Their ammunition exhausted, but fighting with their clubbed mus kets or anything else that they could find the heroic band of Americans fought on until, little by little, they were killed to a man, Travis athwart his cannon, Crockett upon a heap of Mexican soldiers in front of the main church door, Bowie, sick upon his cot, defending himself with his famous knife. So “Remember the Alamo” became the watchword of Texan freedom.—Er nest Peixotto in Scribner’s. ISLANDS TO\ORDER. Built Up on Coral Reafa That To war Naar tha Ocaan’a Surface. Building an island In the sea is not quite so difficult as it sounds. One must have a foundation of course—a coral reef for preference. Given this and also an unlimited lupply of native labor, island build ing in comparatively calm and tide- less waters hocomcs easy. • The usual plan is to choose a coral reef, which must not he sub merged more than three or four feet. A raft is first constructed and anchored neaT the center of the reef, where the water is shallowest. To this coral, torn from the outer fringe of the reef, is brought and piled up pyramid fashion to form l..e nucleus of the island. Lastly, carpi is carricd m canoes from the ’loarest land and spread over the i oral, cocoanut trees are planted .ird houses crected.

The original island was selected by the commander of one warship in those waters as a handy objcct for target practice. As a result it was virtually blown to pieces. The An Early Airahip. W e are told by Peter Farley, who wrote as an eyewitness, that In Au gust, 1835, the airship Eagle was ofll d a ily advertised to sail from London with government dispatches and pas sengers for Paris and to establish di rect communication between the capi tals of Europe.
