All Four of the Congressmen Are
of the Same Faith.
. DEMOCRATS GAIN 32 PER CENT
Republican Congressmen Elected?
Resubmission of Liquor Question
the Big Issue?Contests in Sev?
eral Counties Were Hot.
Portland, Me.?Four hours after
the polls closed on the hardest-fought
Campaign in the history of Maine politics
the Republicans could claim a
victory in the Maine election, and
feert M. Fernald, of Poland, was
sleeted Governor over Obadiah Gardner,
of Rockland. The figures estimated
will give him a plurality of
about 8000, the smallest Republican
plurality in a Presidential year in
twenty-five years.
The main question before the
voters of the State was also won by
ihe Republicans. This dealt with the
resubmission of the liquor question
lo the people. There is now a prohibition
law on the books, and the Democrats
wished to have the question resubmitted
to the people.
The vote was the heaviest since
188S, running well up to 140,000.
The gain3, however, were mainly by
the Democrats, the party vote increasing
more than 13,000 over that of
1904, while the Republican vote fell
off about 2500.
Contests in the several counties of
the State were hot and closely fought,
out the Republicans won out in nearly
every instance. In Cumberland
County, in which Portland is situated
and where the contest has been fierce,
the Democrats, who have been in
? power for four years, were overthrown.
The four Republican Congressmen
elected are: First District?Amos L.
Allen, of Altred; Second District?
jonn tr. owasey, ui t_.ani.uu; iniru
District? Edwin C. Burleigh, of Augusta,
and Fourth District?Frank E.
Guernsey, of Dover. Messrs. Guernsey
and Swasey will be new men in
Congress.
Knox County, the home of Obadiah
Gardner, the Democratic nominee,
gave a Democratic majority of 1200,
although he was unable to carry his
own ward, the only ward in the city
of Rockland which went Republican.
No United States Senator will be
elected by the next Legislature, as
the term of Senator Hale does not
2xpi.re until 1911.
Augusta, the home of the Republican
State machine, was carried by
the Republicans, after having been
Democratic for three years, while
Waterville, the home of William T.
Haines, who was a candidate for the
Gubernatorial nfhnin^tion against Mr.
Fernald, the Republican candidate,
went Democratic by a majority of
423. Mr. Haines was the pronounced
candidate of the Republicans who
favored the resubmission of toe prohibitory
liquor law to the people.
Mr. Fernald, the successful candidate,
is a corn packer, and has served
(n both branches of the Legislature. '
Taft is Not Disappointed.
Cincinnati, Ohio. ? The result of
the election in Maine was not disappointing
to Judge Taft. although it
looks like a serious matter to the Republicans.
Mr. Taft said: "The result in Maine
Is in line with my information from
that State. I was informed that it
would run about 6000 to 7000. The
f-esult has absolutely no national bearing.
The fight was made on local issues
entirely, and national issues had
- *, no part in the election."
Bryan Elated Over Maine.
Baltimore, Md.?Upon his ralurn
from the Fifth Regiment Armory,
where he delivered a political speech,
"William J. Bryan was elated over the
great Democratic gain and said:
"I am very much gratified at the
Teturns from Maine. They indicate
that the trend toward the Democratic
party extends over the whole conntry;
they encourage Democrats to be,
lieve that victory in November is certain."

ATTEMPT TO KILL 6N. FORT:
Infernal Machine Addressed to
Him at Sea Girt,
Suspicions Aroused and Package
Opened in Philadelphia After
the Governor's Permission.
Sea Girt, N. J.?An attempt to assassinate
Governor Fort, of New Jersey,
has been thwarted by the watchfulness
of postoffice employes, who
discovered an infernal machine addressed
to the Governor in the mails.
The package was a cleverly contrived
combination of powder, bullets and
matches, which had been so arranged
that opening it in the ordinary way
. certainly would have caused an explosion.
Had it been received by the
Governor and opened hurriedly, without
any suspicion of what it contained,
there is little doubt it might
have killed him.
That the package was intercepted
before it had reached its destination
was due to the vigilance of the postal
officers who have scanned the Governor's
mail with unusual care since
the executive's recent crusade against
violation of the law at Atlantic City.
The attitude taken by the Governor?
when he directed that the excise and [
a J m i 1 o y* IqtoO of tllQ COflQlrlo rPflnff* VlA I
iJIUiiiai jana uv vuv vmw. ? .w
strictly enforced, threatening to order
out the militia if necessary to
that end, aroused great resentment in
some quarters. It was to guard the
Governor as much as possible from
any annoyance arising from that affair
that the unusual watch was put
on his mail.
Several days ago, when a package
of somewhat unusual shape was
found to bear insufficient postage, it
! was taken by a clerk to one of the
postal inspectors. The inspector
asked for permission to open it without
forwarding it to its destination.
The permission was given at once.
Exercising the greatest care the inspector
and his assistants removed
the wrappings from the package, to
find confirmation of their suspicions.
It was a real infernal machine, crude,
but so cleverly constructed that it
was capable of doing tremendous
damage. It contained a quantity of
powder and bullets, with matches so
arranged that a hurried opening of
the package would have set off the
powder and hurled the bullets in all
directions.

I A threatened violent demonstration
; against the teachers and the janitor
| was balked by the presence of police.
The passage to their rooms of the
teachers, headed by Miss Anna Morah,
principal of the North Collin- 1
wood School, was accompanied by
catcalls and denunciations of the
school board, which succeeded in the
courts in retaining the teachers despite
injunctions obtained by mothers
of victims.
Many parents of victims of the disaster
kept other children at home and
others took their children from the
; building.

of the material are equally correct aB
a finish. Two big buttons at the front
make a feature and are exceedingly
handsome.
The coat Is made with f?onts, Lack,
side-backs and under-arm gores. The
under-arm gores are extended to |
form the under portions of the j
sleevos, so allowing graceful lines
and doing away with fulness at that
point. Roll-over cuffs finish the
sleeve edges and a roll-over collar
completes the neck.

Sashes.
Sashes are used effectively on the
new gowns. They serve the purpose
of girdles, hip yokes and ohoulderettes.
A wide, handsomely embroidered
scarf of old pink chiffon ribbon
was worn one day around the shoulders
in directoire fashion; the next
time it made its appearance it was a
hip scarf, knotted a little at one side
to fall in long and limp lines to the
| very hem of the gown, while on an
other occasion it was worn around |
! the waist as a high and much folded
girdle, with two loops and ends fall!

[ Lorgnette Chains.
i The new fan or lorgnette chains
are exceedingly pretty, and one design
in French gilt, set with groups
of stones, or mock jewels, such as
coral, jade, topaz and lapis lazuli is
particularly effective. At the same
price there are long, slender chains
of gilt and gun metal ornamented
with rhinestoncs set so that they look
like a string of dewdrops.

Embroidery For Lingerie.
The dainty colored embroideries
are being used for lingerie hats to ao
company- frocks in which the sami'
embroideries appear.
Hats That Are Becoming.'
The hat to get is straw of a becom*
ing shape. The big natural rougll
straw sailors rolled up at one sidi
are the best, although'black and whit*
chip are both chosen.
Wee Carriage Sliade.
Memories of long past days sur ound
the tiny parasols that are carried
in the automobile and horse carriage
alike, edged with fringe that
lutters in the breeze. Men who were
young dandies in the fifties of last

Bolero Will Not Down. /
For morning wear we see the
3hort, pleated skirt and a short coat, :
all In tussore, with perhaps a .piping '
In striped or spotted fabrics. These
are smart and neat, and willbe seen ; . .
later on abroad, invariably accompanied
by a hat trimued with wide .iJ
wings, which still continues the rage
in the world of millinery. We note, v'?5
too, that some of the short corselet j,:.
skirts show the bolero.
Seven Gored Skirt. / : ,
The seven gored skirt Is always a . *;
graceful and attractive one, and this
;
model has the advantage of including
the very latest features of the sea-son.
It is laid in two pleats at eachy
seam, which provide just sufficient ,
fulness for grace, and it can be closed
either at the left of the front with or- ,
namental buttons or invisibly at the />'<!
back as liked. It is adapted to linep,
to serge, to mohair, to all skirting
and to all suiting materials, but as illustrated
is made of Panama cloth
finished with tailor stitching.
The skirt Is cut in seven gores. The
pleats effectually conceal the seams ,
and are stitched flat well below the
hips. It can be made either in walking
length, adapted to the street, or
in the graceful round one that is so ,
well liked for indoor wear.
The quantity of material required '
for the medium size is nine and
three-quarter yards twenty-four, orj
twenty-seven, nve ana one-nair yaraa
forty-four or fifty-two inches wide.
Girdles.
Hand embroidered linen girdles,
with the work ail done in soft pale
colors, are seen. They are fastened
invisibly with hooks and eyes, making
the girdle appear as though it
had no opening. This gives tha
waist a round and youthful effect.
