Washington, Oct. 25.?The betting odds of 4 to 1 now prevailing in New York on the presidential election are aj% i am 4 t? n m /v 4 tn r\ ma m m aa* 4?<\ 1 grtrawji" tuau iu uturi picoiueuuai | elections for many years. As a rule, betting indicates correctly bow an election is going, but there have been many and very notable exceptions. The betting was in favor of Blaine right up to the day of the 1884 election. In 188S, four years later, Cleveland was the favorite, the prevailing rate being 10 to 7 on Harrison, but Harrison was elected. Four years after that, when Cleveland and Harrison were again pitted against each other, most of the wagers were about even, but much of tbe time the odds were in favor of Harrison. There were counttees Republicans anxious at the iasfc moment to get their money down or; Harrison, and this drove the Cleveland sports to tbe wall, so that their candidate, although- triumphiantly elected a few days later, was, apparently, in the judgment of men with money to risk, a loser. The betting on McKinley and Bryan ran at about 3 to 1 in both the campaigns of 1896 and 1900. Accordingly, the prevailing odds of 4 to 1 as between Roosevelt and Parker are exceptional. It is said in NewYork that between now and election day Democrate will make an heroic effort to bring tbe bettiog back nearer to what it was three months ago. Soon after the St. Louis con vantion tbe odda favoring Roosevelt stood at about 10 to 7. Tbe betting on gubernatorial candidates in New York has been more correctly indicative of the outcome than baa the betting on presidential candidates. In 1891 the odds in favor of Flower for governor sgainet Fa8sett were 10 to 7, aDd Flower was elected; in 1894, the odds between Morton and Hill were 8 to 5, 8nd Morton was elected; in 1898, tbe betting was even on the chances of Roosevelt and Van Wyck, Roosevelt being elected by about 17,000, while in 1902 tbe odds were 2 to 1 in favor of the election of Odell over Coler, when Odell won by only about 8,000. As it Was Intended. A certain clergyman reports tbe following incident as occuring just inside tbe entrance to one of the largest and most popular New York churches during a crowded service. It was during tbe reading of a prayer, and the entire congregation was kneeling. A man of rough appearance, evidently unused to ecclesiastical surroundings, strolled through the open doors and stared in apparent wonderment at tbe silent and kneeling congregation. Hebok ed a moment, then turning to the sexton, who stood near by, remarked briefly: Well, this beats the old boy !" The sexton turned a serene eye on him. "That is the intention," he replied.

I He boarded a street car and sat down beside a woman passenger. He had indulged in cocktails and highballs not wisely, but too well, and his intoxication was apparent. With a scornful air the woman passenger inched away from him. The j intoxicated newcomer moved along | until he was again close beside her. Again she inched away, and again he followed. Her next move brought her to the end of the seat, and a second later he was at her side. TheD, turning'to bim, she exclaimed, angrilj: ' If you were my husband, I'd give you a dose of poison." For a full minute he gazed at her meditatively. Then he slowly and solemnly replied: "Madam, if I were your husband, I'd take it." ^ He G-oes Ahead. Saluda Standard. Bennie, the eight-year-old son of G. H. Cromer, of the Broad river section, picked 1S2 pounds of cotton a few weeks ago from sunrise to sunset, taking two hours rest at dinner time. This beats anything so far reported in the cotton picking ! line.
