we are (at this writing) still in doubt of the 
ie of Tuesday’s election. With 48 hours passed 
= the closing of the polls on the Pacific Coast the out- 
e of the vote on presidential electors in the states of 
fornia, Minnesota and New Mexico is undecided. 
ing returns drifting in at this hour indicate that 
shes will carry Minnesota and that. Wilson leads in 
lifornia. ‘Lhe vote in several of the states is so close 
ther side will be justified in demanding a recount 
of defeat. One of the remarkable things in con- 
nection with the election this year was the apparent swing 
to Hughes in the early returns, which led practically 
every paper in the east to concede his election. When 
r returns made his election less certain, until the com- 
re count could be recorded, it became apparent that

from now on. He ran for the ill-fated car, but suddenly

that caused his return saved his life in the Boston horror

It Is Now Derinitety known that Thomas Mott 
‘sborne has determined not to abandon the field of work 
in which he has been successful. His admirers were dis- 
appointed when they learned of his purpose to resign as 
warden, but it was with the view of the larger work that 
he resigned. He now proposes to visit every state in the 
union to present the needs of prison reform, and there is 
every reason to believe that his activities will be crowned 
with success. There has long been a need of definite 
organized work for the betterment of prisons in the 
In taking up this work Mr. Osborne will 
serve a larger field than he ever could as warden. His 
resignation will be a loss to Sing Sing, but the whole 
country will now have the benefit of his experience, in- 
domitable courage and righteous spirit. 
THe WomAN’s MunicipaL LEAGUE under the direc- 
tion of the junior members, Miss Frances Bradley, chair- 
man, has been presenting this week in Boston a series of 
valuable lectures on “Balanced and Preparedness Cook- 
ing’ by Miss Alice Bradley of the Miss Farmer’s School 
of Cookery. The lectures are thoroughly scientific, but 
are presented in such a way that no one could fail to 
grasp the point of the address. There is much need of 
just this sort of instruction. It is a lamentable fact that 
too many folk, especially mothers of families, do not 
appreciate the relative values of foods in the preparation 
of meals. There is need of such instruction and it is to 
the credit of this organization that a campaign of educa- 
tion has been inaugurated. 
SENATOR LopcE was elected with a safe majority by

The concerts, originally started for 
150 girls of the Arbella club and pri- 
marily educational, have grown in 
popularity until they are almost an 
institution in Manchester. The ex-

Manchester Town hall was packed 
to capacity last Saturday afternoon 
for the first of the season’s Arbella 
‘concerts given to the people of Man- 
chester by the girls of the Arbella 
‘club. The entertainers, Messrs. Wil- 
iam Howard, Leland Hall and Carl 
_ Webster, are well known to Manches- 
ter audiences having appeared at the 
concerts last season. Their playing 
received the fullest appreciation of the 
audience, who listened with the clos- 
est of attention and applauded heart- 
ily the efforts of the musicians. 
The first selections were from a 
trio by Beethoven, written for the 
piano, violin and cello. The music 
went with the rapt attentoin of the 
audience, made possible the fullest 
enjoyment of this part of the pro- 
eram. A violin selection by Mr. 
Howard, a sonata from the Mozart 
Symphony in G minor, was very 
pleasing aud was thoroughly appre- 
ciated. 
The three numbers upon the cello 
by Mr. Webster brought the audience 
to the highest enthusiasm. Owing to 
the lateness of the start of the con- - 
cert Mr. Webster was unable to re- 
spond to the demand of the audience 
for another number. The second 
movement of a terpischorean trio by 
Liszt concluded the concert. 
are greatly appreciated by the audi- 
ences and their response is a source 
of pleasure to the musicians who en- 
joy coming to Manchester where they 
may be sure of an appreciative audi- 
ence. In few places do they have an 
opportunity to play the class of music 
furnished at the concerts in Manches- 
ter, the demand in most cases being 
for the “popular” variety.
