In Kings gi Chanler ran 20,000 ahead of Hearst, j, In New York County it was estimated _ that Hearst was from 10,000 to 12,- ^ 000 votes behind the rest of the tl ticket. * When notified of his success Mr. n Hughes said: "My feelings are not p those of elation, but those of respon- q sibility." ' j W? R. Hearst gave this statement p regarding the election: * w 'In view of the result I have only j, to repeat what I have said in my jj speeches.

Hearst carried all five "boroughs of Greater New York, and went to the Bronx with a plurality of ? 72,027, divided as follows: Manhat- ^ tar and the Bronx, 58,133; Kings, ? 6315; Queens, 6728; Richmond, 851. J: Hughes came to the Bronx with 126,546. " The feature of the voting was the zl big poll for Mr. Hearst in the large jr cities and in the manufacturing towns. j*' Such cities as Buffalo, Rochester, ^ Elmira, Oswego, Rome and Pough- * keepsie gave materially reduced Re- 5, publican majorities. In the western ^ part of the State this Republican de- " fection extended into the rural dis- ? tricts also, such counties as Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, the rural dis- P. tricts of Erie and other counties npnrlv nittfncr thft normal Renublican majority in half. , Hughe3 carried all the up-State counties with th? exception of Chemung, which gave Hearst 300 plu- R rality; Hamilton, which gave him C 116; NJagara, which gave him 300 R plurality, and Schoharie, where the G Democratic candidate got a plurality le of 250. ol In the State of New York above el Westchester the vote was almost 1! 100,000 less than two years ago for H Governor. Hughes received 70,000 ei less than Iliggins in 1904, and Hearst received about 30,000 less than Her- hi rick. Complete returns will prob- fc ably show that more than 110,000 tr voters above the Bronx did not take al any part in the campaign, which is ni an unusual tmng, wnen tne intensity ? of the political fight is considered. ai The Legislature is Republican.

Evidence ws placed before the committee showir that in abstinence is to be sougl the sourceB of muscular vigor ai activity. The lunacy figures show large and increasing number of ai missions of both sexes which are di to drink. The following facts, recognized t the medical profession apd placard* all over France by order of the go ernment, are published in order i carry out the recommendation of tl committee, and to bring home to mt and women the fatal effects of ale hoi on physical efficiency: (1) Alcoholism is a chronic poi oning, resulting from the habitu: use of alcohol (whether as spirit wine or beer), which may never { as far as drunkenness. (2) It is a mistake to say thi those doing hard work require stir ulants. As a fact, no one requiri alcohol as either food or tonic. (3) Alcohol Is really a narcoti dulling the nerves like laudanum < opium, but it Is more dangerous tha either, in that often Its first effe is to weakeh a man's self-contr while his passions are excited; hem the number of crimes which occi under Its influence. (4) Spirits, as usually take rapidly produce alcoholism, but mil er alcoholic drinks, as beer, and ev? cider, drunk repeateaiy every da produce after a time alcoholic poi oning with equal certainty. (5) The habit of drinking Iea< to the ruin of families, the negle of sdclal duties, disgust for wor misery, theft and crime. It also lea< to the hospital, for alcohol product the most various and fatal disease including paralysis, insanity, diseas< of the stomach and liver and drops It also paves the wa7 to consum; tlon and frequenters of publ houses fjirnlsh a large proportion < the victims of this disease. It cob plicates and aggravates all acute dl eases: typhoid fever, pneumonia, er sipelas are rapidly fatal in the su' ject of alcoholism. (6) The sins of alcoholic paren pre visited on the children; if the: survive infancy they are threaten< with idiocy or epilepsy, and mat are carried away by tuberculosi meningitis, or phthisis (consum lion). * (7) In short, alcohol is the mo terrible enemy to personal health, ' family happiness, and to nation prosperity. , By order of the Health Committe Forbes Robertson Mutch, M.

The annual consumpt'? of absinthe in France now amoun to almost a quart for each individu of the entire population. A larj proportion of the poverty and tt worst crimes in Franco seem fair to be attributed to the absintl habit. A Million a Day For Liquor. In a recent notable sermon c "Why tho Masses in New York ai Poor," the Rev. Dr. Madison < Peters said: "It is estimated thi New York spends $1,000,000 a d? for liquor, most of it bad, whic amounts to more than the entire go ernment of the United States. Tl annual drink bill of New York more than the entire amount receivc for tariff. The interest on the city annual drink bill at four per cent, nearly equal to the income of all tl universities and colleges in tl United States." Alcohol in Hospitals. In a speech recently at the Bishop gate Institute, Sir Victor HorsK gave some remarkable figures 1 show how the use of alcohol in hosp tals was declining. In 1862 near $40,000 was spent on alcohol in tl London hospitato and $15,000 c milk; in 1902 the situation was a most exactly reversed, about $ 15,0( being spent on alcohol and over $4C 000 on milk.?National Advocate. It is estimated that alcohol liquors kill every year 60,000.
