The secret ballot law, which was tried for tho first time in this state at Far Eockaway yester- day, worked, as tho Eaole announced while tho election was in progress, satisfactorily. Under it .300 votes, more than were cast iu either of tho two preceding village elections, wore cast in five hours and nine minutes. Out of 310 men who tried to vote but three were nnahlo to master requirements sufficiently to oast a luallot in some .shapo. None of these three dis- franchiflod men conld road or write and there was Hoiiie talk about the law as a bar to ignorant voters. Bnt it can hardly bo that in a poll of over three hmidred voters but three wore illiterate, so that it is not safe to concindo from the Far Rockaw.ay experiment that New York lias adopted a read- ing te.Bt as a qu.aliflcation for suffrage. The Far Piockaway election was imperfectly condneted, Ecveral of the plain provisions of the law not being complied with and other objectionable f.;atiii eB arising from tlie oombination of a vote for village taxation under tho village charter with the secret ballot system under tho state law. But, ill spite of minor defects, tho vote was cast decently and in order in substantial accord with the provisions of the new law, and tho rcsnlt de- chu’od is tho will of a majority of the people of the village. The complaints tliat wore made are not nearly so serious as tho complaints of hrih. cry, trickery and intimidation on the part of ward bosses that have been made in every close election contest under tho old sys- tem for years. Tho election worker was drooped with a dull tlui'l to tho ranks. All lie could do was to lean over a rail and wink or shout directions to a voter ton or fifteen foal away. The voter held two ballots, neither of wliicli had been given liim by tlio worker. Ho could not go outside to oonsiiU the man who had brought him there, and wlieii tho spring door of the Ijt le voting booth closed behind him ho h.ad to make his way by his own nnaideil wits. Tliorc was no hint of money in the von if the offices at stake had boon buying, no man not a fool would lit much money into votes where ho Iiad of finding out liow his man had voted, way to accomplish tliat end was disoov- no way of finding no way to accomplish tliat end was discov- ered at Far Eockaway. For tlio first time in New York a ballot was aaorod before it reached tho ballot box aa well as afterward. Reporters who wanted to procure ballots for dosoription wore unable to do so, and sample ballots with fictitious iiamea for c.andidatos and town.s were circulated about tho reporters’ tahlo.s. After tho voting had been in progress some hours tho two copies of ballot No. 1 which had not got into tho ballot boxes were handed over by an election oflioer for iiispeotion, but these woro as carofnlly replaced in tlio pile, to bo accounted for at tho ond of the ay. as a car or theater ticket would have been. Tho method and the early progre.s3 of the voting were fully desoribod in yesterday’s E.40i,e. Dur- ing the first hour O .Y votes were cast. That vote ;he first hour O .Y votes were i was .slower than tho average because neither i tion officers nor voters know their busiiiest That vote lithor elec- mow their business. A groat many men came out of the booths with their ballots either not folded at all, folded wi ill such a way ns to prevent tearing off numbered stub. Then tho throo illitoi votors presented themsolvos in this hour. They made fievcr.il trials and took up a good doal of timo trying to put on tho pasters which their friends had toU them to vote boforo tlioy finally gave over tlio attempt as a had jo’u. Tlio inspec- tors were in doubt at first wliethor they iiii.glit refold ballots that were I'oldod wrong, or whether tlio voter must he returned to tlio privacy of liis bnolli, hut the latter course was- finally adopted- Tlin inspectors did. howovor, point out how bal- lots should he folded, and Ooiistablos Walsh and De.Mott, who walked around inside tho voting do.siii'e, opening tho booths and acting as a noral steering committee, di.l a good deal of the same sort of valnahlo mi.ssioiiary work. No atten- tion was paid to tho provisioii of tho Jaw requir- ing a voter t.c stay at least throo minutes iu solitary bootli. If that rule had been eiifon it, or else folded across Hie perforated line notli. If that rule had been enforced ero would probably have been fewer bhinders. each booth was nailed up a lar,go card with iii- led up a lai’,go car stnictions to voters printed in largo tyno upon it. Tliose instructions explained clearly about the manner of folding ballot.s, yet dozens of well ilros.sed men bobbed into the hootlis, stayed a minute or a mi lobhed into the hootlis, stayed liiiutG and a half and bobbed c . their ballots folded at all. If tli again without their ballots folded at all. If they had been compelled to stay throo minutes they would perhaps have read the iustructions to kill Tlio voting wa.s begun without the adrainislra- n of oaths to the inspectors and withoii tioii of oaths to the inspectors and without any formal aniiouncameut, further than ex-Jndgo llealy’s remark that ho had beou requested to cast tho tii’st ballot and would try to do it so that all might see tho way tho thing sliould be done, qicctor.s were so iicrvons about the work' 6 iiispcctor.s were so iicrvouB about the work :s of the new law that they forgot tho custom resolutions tonoiiing village finances were iinoii, tho ballots being distrihntod in the voted iinoii, tho ballots being distrihntod in I polling booths. Oiio called for a vote for against issuing village lionds for $1.5,000 build a village hall and engine iioiiso: another called for $3,500 i'or lighting tho streets next year, and the other two for $1,300 each for the police dep-irlment and for ordinary villago ex- penses. Complaint wa didalo on the oi didalo on the oppoaition ticket for villago trasteo for one year, th.at Nathaniel B. Daj-, ids opjionent on the regular ticket, Iiad an unfair advantage hoeaimo he was one of the el'ctioii inspectors and as.-ioeiatos in liandling n-Dvides that the ■as one of the ■0 activG tlian his ballots. The village clui'ter provides that ti'm-toes shall be imipectus of eloctioii, and Day \v(- nciing nnd.er this pV.ivision. Ex-.Iiiilgo Ileaiy, p.csi.lent of tlie village and candidate for re- oloction, was also an inspector of election, but ho dill not take any active part iu the il not take any active part iu the work, lopiiig away from the ballot boxes. There no evidence that Mr. Day used his position aa 11 inspector to iuoreaso his own vote, or that ho ail inspector to iuoreaso his own vote, or that ho did not perform liis duties in the most impartial maunor. MuTigue argued that when a voter camo up to the ballot box with two folded ballots iu his liaiuls, one to bo voted .and the other to bo thrown into the box for discarded ballots. Day took both of these ballots in his right hand. Tlien, McTigue said, Day asked tho voter whicli ho wished to vole. In Far llockaway tho caiididatos know pretty aceiirately tho preferences of tho individual voters, and McTigue claimed that Day ad nil opiiortiiiiity to mix up the ballots of men allots of men ho felt sure were voliiig against liim. Ho did not pi’elcnd to know th.at this had been done in any particular instance, but tho possibility of such a cliaiigo was a good reason why no candidate sliould act ns inspector. Most of the eloction of- ficers thought many voters wore careless, and, eoiiiiiig iij) to the boxes witli two folded ballots, ordered the one avbich they wished to vote thrown away. Tho inspeotors themselvos _ye- foldod many ballota that wore folded badly and handled them in such a way that they must have oeeu the face of the tickot.s. About ns many bal- lots were refolded, in that avay as thero were voters sent back to tho booths to fold for thom- selvoa. Occasionally a voter would fold up bis ballots without oiiteriiig a booth at all, and step up to vote. One snob voter, at least, got his ballot through, and it ■n'as hard work to make a good many lioneat men sec wliy tho protection f a booth should bo forced i of a booth should bo forced upon them whether they wauted it or not. They had’no thought of their own votes and they woro sloi selling their own votes and tliey woro slow to un- derstand tliat a man who had boon bribed conld, by folding bis ballots in the largo inclosure, hold tliem in such a way that a snottor outside tho rail could see which ouo ho jotod. In the first throe hours 315 votes were oast, an average of 71 votes an hour. After that tho rush foil off and tho last 100 votes c.amo in rather slowly. At 3 o'clock thero was a line of waiting voters that' reached far outside tho halL Tho soono outside tho rail w.as much more lively than inside the voting inclo.sure. Two challengors for each party stood outside the gate where they could see the ballot boxes and challenged voters freely for all sorts of causes. They mads a good deal of noise and col- lected a pugnacious crowd around them. A con- siderable number of men bad to swear their votes ill, but uo votes were rojoeted on challenges. Mon gathered in little knots all about tho court house, discussing the workings of tho law. There was a disposition among the active politicians to regard it as a farce or a nuisance, but most of the con- servative citizens said that the election was go- ing very smoothly for tho first time, and that hereafter thero would be no trouble. They woro glad that the law bad been tried in an off year, when it conld be judged without tho excitement of a great partisan contest, and they had no idea that thero would bo any serious demand for its ‘S'd.: I day was not without its humorous features. One old man, who was vainly striving to get his ballot right, retired to a booth for the third time with a pastor containing the names ho wished to vote. Ho put this on tho offloial ballot, right across tho perforated line, so that the stub would not tear off. When his mistake was pointed ont to him he threw down his ballot in disgust, ex- claiming: “It’s more work for an American sol- dier to vote In this (unfounded town than it is for a whole regiment of paupers.” An old fellow who could not read found him- self in a booth with two offloial ballots and a pastor that he did not know how to manage. Ha stopped out of the booth, and when the oou- siable's hack was turned slipped ontsido tho rail, carrying tho two official ballots with him. Then he appealed to an election worker for his aid. The oleotion worker took him one side, affixed a pastor to one of «he official ballots, folded both ballots up properly and explained with much em- phasis that the old man must vote tho emo with tho pastor inside of it. The old man clasped the ballot tightly in his right hand, holding the one to bo reieoted In hia left, and started for the bat- lot boxes, full of self importance and beer. Marching proudly up to the inspectors he un- folded his precious right hand ballot, smoothed it out and held It toward tho Inspector, oxolaiio- ing "That’s ray tioket, by ---- t” At 0:10, the hour of sunset by the the hoses were declared closed and. the ballots was begun by M- B. Day. Frederick L. Richmond and Benjamin B. Mott, as inspectors. D. L. Starks and Watkin Yf, Jones representing the Healy party, and D. Smith and Louis Walters for the McKlm party, were invited to witness the count as offloial watchers, and were given seats across the table from tho inspectors. The room was then cleared of everybody bnt the reporters behind their railing at tho back, and the count proceeded after tho ordinary manner. The count began at 0:30 and ended at 8:50, allowing tivo hours and twenty minutes for counting 300 votes, with five candidates on a ticket. The canvassing board did not run against any snags, bnt they made no special attempt to hurry. Tho Far Roekaway tickets were much simpler than those in city, county and state elections will be. Yesterday’s experi- ment does not indicate that the new law will facilitate the count of the votes, but it was hardly important enough to be conoluslvo on that point. It demonstrated, however, that the estimates of watchers at the polls, whiob have heretofore been relied on ns accurate in towns and small cities, will be worthless hereafter. The result showed that the Healy ticket, with the ex- ception of Da.v, was elected.

Many amateurs have a great deal of difficulty in making stereopticou slides. The department operator will give prac- tical demonstrations in any of tho processes, members being required to furnish only glass and chemicals. The dop.artment reading room will also bocomo a greater attraction than ever this season, from the number of hangings which havo appeared upon tho walls during tho summer, aud also the largo amount of photographic literature which has been turned in.

No one expects a scam of coal to grow thicker by excav- ation—tlio outcrop on tlie surface is goiicrally a fair meaaiu’o of the value of tlio coal scam—aud the same is true of a bod of iron. Ncvcrtlicloss, tlieio gontlomon wlio arc mining in Edmond's l>asB are wasting a great deal of money in tho oxiioctaucy of a .su.Iilou thickening of tho ore bod which they ,aro working. “Olio of the saddest siglits in tho whole Adiron- dack region is a town in the lower Ausahlo valley, ( wliich thirty years ago had a population of more ■ than twenty-five huudrod souls, and waa then a thriving mamifactuaing towu, liaviiig several iron furnaces, rolling iiiUls ami foundries. This towu is now practically a deserted village. Imu- drods of dwellings being either v.aoaut or iu a tuinblo down condition. Tho whole story of the desertion of the town to this extent may bo ac- cnuiitcd for in- tlie fact that tlie bed of ore whicli was being worked in tlie vicinity proved unprofit- able oil account of its tliimioss, and also from the fact that Hie fuviiaoes wore so far removed from railway cominmucation. "A niineralogical survey of Hie state is highly important, not only on account of tho iron depos- its which it contains, but sis i for tho biiilding stones and mineral fortilizerB wliich may bo brought to liglit. In the town of Koj-esvillo, in Clinton county, for example, is a very extensive and most valuablcjdepnslt of granite. The gra i- ito is valuable for its extreme beauty and dunibil- ity under tlio iiillnenoe of atmospheric changes aud fire. Perhaps yon will reiuomb-er that al; the great Boston fire iii 'l871, the boat of tho fiamea was sufficient to crnmlile to powder ciiormons graiiito pillars and maso'ary made from tho famouB Quincy granito.

Further, it i.s well understood by tho Now Y ’ork academy of aciciicc, -cadeniy of scieiico at Albany,tho Cornell and :■ profcFsors, that a reeurvey of tho otato, miner.aloyical and geological, is very groatiy le geology of Long iBlaiid, for exam- ple, is not understood by anyone. The ago of the rocks undorlying the torraiiial glacial mo- raine of Long Island has uot yet been dolor- mined, or scarcely .apiiroiimated, and tho out- crop of salurian rocks in the vein of Flushing lias not boon followed nor m.ada clear. Tho seiciico of geology has made most rajiid strides during tho past thirty years .since the glacial theory has been promiilg.ated, and tho general sclieino of geological strata has b-eoii ostablishod. .Such great states as Ohio, Illiiioi.s, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Miiinosota and Michigan have ma.lo geological suryoys of their witliin tho last ten or fiftee; have ma.lo respective territorioa witliin tho last ten or fiftoen years, and while tho survey of New York by the veiiorablo James Hall, of Albany, was most v.iliiablo, at the time of the completion of any Himilar work published ill the United States or abro.ad, ami while it will remain a classic work in geology while it will remain a svhich no .student will overlook, of the st.ate svoul:! brio ■ertheless a roBui-vcy of the st.ate svoul:! bring to light most iiirportaiit economic and scientific information of incalculable value to tho farmor, Hie minor, the mechanic,the engineer and all classes of men depemloiit ill any way on those iiidu.strioii.

Merely almidoiiod his wife more than two year.s atto under (dreum- stances which he doemcd.iiHtiriahle. After.spond- inc a year and a half in the Wi st ho returned to Jamaica, where his father re^i’ied, under cover of the iiii'ht, and for a fev,-weeks eluded obser­vation, bnt tlie keen eye of the wmnan whose love he had turned to .scorn, fell upon liini, and she loat no time in eettina’ the Bleulhhonnds of justice upon him. Jnstico Ilondnckson did not deem it necosB.ary to loci; him up, and, after iixing a day for his trial on the charyc of aliandonment, paroled him in the custody of liis father, wlio is .a snbataiitial citiaoii of liie town. Wlien trial day arriyed tlie uniiv.ai' fnl fellow iiad put mil.O.s of apace hetwiioii himself and tho convt house. Tlie last teen of him he was coins west afoot over the I.oiii: Island railroad track ami tool; a train to the city from Woodhaveii. He has been four months at V.alley Stream, working on a farm, but his wife only lioard of it yestonl.iy and she imt the ollicer on hie track within an lioiir.

John Douylass is a Methodist from way hack. He used to lead the lu'ayiny hand in tiic clmroli at Jamaica, and with his hrellireii was a conspic­uous figure at camp meetings and luul a record ns a succe.ssfi’l revivalist. Lie would attract at­tention anywheio from his reiiiarkahlo resein- blanoe in features and fiKure t,i .Vbraham Lin­coln. He was not a novice in iiiatrimony when he married his prosent wife, lie had tho oipcri- enco of a first veiitiiro and thoiiglit he know lion to make a satisfactory secmnl clioice. He ralh.ei went back on .Methodism to do it. for Mis.- Anna Petcr.sen was an Epi.scopalian, .and he backsiiiii’d snlUciently to be niairied in Grace church by her rector. The .Metliodi.its who disliked hi.s conth’seen.Hioii inquired sarcas- ticaiiy why ho did not marry ,a lioman C.aiholic out .and out? Mr. DouKlaas proved his Laitli in the We.slcy foundation by abiding with Method- lam and laboring in its vineyard. ?ilr.s. Don,glass adhered tenaciously to the Episcopal form. They traveled tho difieront roads without friction for a time, but eventually soctariaii qnostimis divided them and they drifted further apart imtil at last Mr. Donglass lit out for new fields and wont very far West. Jlrs. Douglass was left pomiilesB and had to return to the hoiiBo of her father. Herman P.-'torson, a well to do mille r. In leaving Mr. Douglass abamloned a profitable express h BOSS.

The secret ballot law, which was tried for tho first time in this state at Far Eockaway yester­day, worked, as tho E aole announced while tho election was in progress, satisfactorily. Under it .300 votes, more than were cast iu either of tho two preceding village elections, wore cast in five hours and nine minutes. Out of 310 men who tried to vote but three were nnahlo to master requirements sufficiently to oast a luallot in some .shapo. None of these three dis- franchiflod men conld road or write and there was Hoiiie talk about the law as a bar to ignorant voters. Bnt it can hardly bo that in a poll of over three hmidred voters but three wore illiterate, so that it is not safe to concindo from the Far Rockaw.ay experiment that New York lias adopted a read­ing te.Bt as a qu.aliflcation for suffrage. The Far Piockaway election was imperfectly condneted, Ecveral of the plain provisions of the law not being complied with and other objectionable f.;atiii eB arising from tlie oombination of a vote for village taxation under tho village charter with the secret ballot system under tho state law. But, ill spite of minor defects, tho vote was cast decently and in order in substantial accord with the provisions of the new law, and tho rcsnlt de- chu’od is tho will of a majority of the people of the village. The complaints tliat wore made are not nearly so serious as tho complaints of hrih. cry, trickery and intimidation on the part of ward bosses that have been made in every close election contest under tho old sys­tem for years. Tho election worker was drooped with a dull tlui'l to tho ranks. All lie could do was to lean over a rail and wink or shout directions to a voter ton or fifteen foal away. The voter held two ballots, neither of wliicli had been given liim by tlio worker. Ho could not go outside to oonsiiU the man who had brought him there, and wlieii tho spring door of the Ijt le voting booth closed behind him ho h.ad to make his way by his own nnaideil wits. Tliorc was no hint of money in the

von if the offices at stake had boon buying, no man not a fool would

lit much money into votes where ho Iiad of finding out liow his man had voted, way to accomplish tliat end was disoov-

no way of findingno way to accomplish tliat end was discov­

ered at Far Eockaway. For tlio first time in New York a ballot was aaorod before it reached tho ballot box aa well as afterward. Reporters who wanted to procure ballots for dosoription wore unable to do so, and sample ballots with fictitious iiamea for c.andidatos and town.s were circulated about tho reporters’ tahlo.s. After tho voting had been in progress some hours tho two copies of ballot No. 1 which had not got into tho ballot boxes were handed over by an election oflioer for iiispeotion, but these woro as carofnlly replaced in tlio pile, to bo accounted for at tho ond of the

ay. as a car or theater ticket would have been. Tho method and the early progre.s3 of the voting

were fully desoribod in yesterday’s E.40i,e. Dur­ing the first hour O.Y votes were cast. That vote;he first hour O.Y votes were i was .slower than tho average because neither i tion officers nor voters know their busiiiest

That vote lithor elec-

mow their business. A groat many men came out of the booths with their ballots either not folded at all, folded wi

ill such a way ns to prevent tearing off numbered stub. Then tho throo illitoi votors presented themsolvos in this hour. They made fievcr.il trials and took up a good doal of timo trying to put on tho pasters which their friends had toU them to vote boforo tlioy finally gave over tlio attempt as a had jo’u. Tlio inspec­tors were in doubt at first wliethor they iiii.glit refold ballots that were I'oldod wrong, or whether tlio voter must he returned to tlio privacy of liis bnolli, hut the latter course was- finally adopted- Tlin inspectors did. howovor, point out how bal­lots should he folded, and Ooiistablos Walsh and De.Mott, who walked around inside tho voting

do.siii'e, opening tho booths and acting as a noral steering committee, di.l a good deal of the

same sort of valnahlo mi.ssioiiary work. No atten­tion was paid to tho provisioii of tho Jaw requir- ing a voter t.c stay a t least throo minutes iu solitary bootli. If that rule had been eiifon

notli. If that rule had been enforced ero would probably have been fewer bhinders. each booth was nailed up a lar,go card with iii-led up a lai’,go car

stnictions to voters printed in largo tyno upon it. Tliose instructions explained clearly about the manner of folding ballot.s, yet dozens of well ilros.sed men bobbed into the hootlis, stayed aminute or a mi

did not perform liis duties in the most impartial maunor. MuTigue argued tha t when a voter camo up to the ballot box with two folded ballots iu his liaiuls, one to bo voted .and the other to bo thrown into the box for discarded ballots. Day took both of these ballots in his right hand. Tlien, McTigue said, Day asked tho voter whicli ho wished to vole. In Far llockaway tho caiididatos know pretty aceiirately tho preferences of tho individual voters, and McTigue claimed that Day

ad nil opiiortiiiiity to mix up the ballots of menallots of men ho felt sure were voliiig against liim. Ho did not pi’elcnd to know th.at this had been done in any particular instance, but tho possibility of such a cliaiigo was a good reason why no candidate sliould act ns inspector. Most of the eloction of­ficers thought many voters wore careless, and, eoiiiiiig iij) to the boxes witli two folded ballots, ordered the one avbich they wished to vote thrown away. Tho inspeotors themselvos _ye- foldod many ballota that wore folded badly and handled them in such a way that they must have oeeu the face of the tickot.s. About ns many bal­lots were refolded, in that avay as thero were voters sent back to tho booths to fold for thom- selvoa. Occasionally a voter would fold up bis ballots without oiiteriiig a booth at all, and step up to vote. One snob voter, at least, got his ballot through, and it ■n'as hard work to make a good many lioneat men sec wliy tho protection

f a booth should bo forced iof a booth should bo forced upon them whether they wauted it or not. They had’no thought of

their own votes and they woro sloiselling their own votes and tliey woro slow to un­derstand tliat a man who had boon bribed conld, by folding bis ballots in the largo inclosure, hold tliem in such a way that a snottor outside tho rail could see which ouo ho jo tod . In the first throe hours 315 votes were oast, an average of 71 votes an hour. After that tho rush foil off and tho last 100 votes c.amo in rather slowly. At 3 o'clock thero was a line of waiting voters th a t ' reached far outside tho halL Tho soono outside tho rail w.as much more lively than inside the voting inclo.sure. Two challengors for each party stood outside the gate where they could see the ballot boxes and challenged voters freely for all sorts of causes. They mads a good deal of noise and col­lected a pugnacious crowd around them. A con­siderable number of men bad to swear their votes ill, but uo votes were rojoeted on challenges. Mon gathered in little knots all about tho court house, discussing the workings of tho law. There was a disposition among the active politicians to regard it as a farce or a nuisance, but most of the con­servative citizens said that the election was go­ing very smoothly for tho first time, and that hereafter thero would be no trouble. They woro glad that the law bad been tried in an off year, when it conld be judged without tho excitement of a great partisan contest, and they had no idea that thero would bo any serious demand for its

‘S'd.:I day was not without its humorous features. One old man, who was vainly striving to get his ballot right, retired to a booth for the third time with a pastor containing the names ho wished to vote. Ho put this on tho offloial ballot, right across tho perforated line, so that the stub would not tear off. When his mistake was pointed ont to him he threw down his ballot in disgust, ex­claiming: “I t ’s more work for an American sol­dier to vote In this (unfounded town than it is for a whole regiment of paupers.”

An old fellow who could not read found him­self in a booth with two offloial ballots and a pastor that he did not know how to manage. Ha stopped out of the booth, and when the oou- siable's hack was turned slipped ontsido tho rail, carrying tho two official ballots with him. Then he appealed to an election worker for his aid. The oleotion worker took him one side, affixed a pastor to one of «he official ballots, folded both ballots up properly and explained with much em­phasis that the old man must vote tho emo with tho pastor inside of it. The old man clasped the ballot tightly in his right hand, holding the one to bo reieoted In hia left, and started for the bat- lot boxes, full of self importance and beer. Marching proudly up to the inspectors he un­folded his precious right hand ballot, smoothed it out and held It toward tho Inspector, oxolaiio-ing "That’s ray tioket, b y ---- t”■ At 0:10, the hour of sunset by the the hoses were declared closed and. the

ballots was begun by M- B. Day. Frederick L. Richmond and Benjamin B. Mott, as inspectors. D. L. Starks and Watkin Yf, Jones representing the Healy party, and D. Smith and Louis Walters for the McKlm party, were invited to witness the count as offloial watchers, and were given seats across the table from tho inspectors. The room was then cleared of everybody bnt the reporters behind their railing at tho back, and the count proceeded after tho ordinary manner.

The count began a t 0:30 and ended at 8:50, allowing tivo hours and twenty minutes for counting 300 votes, with five candidates on a ticket. The canvassing board did not run against any snags, bnt they made no special attempt to hurry. Tho Far Roekaway tickets were much simpler than those in city, county and state elections will be. Yesterday’s experi­ment does not indicate that the new law will facilitate the count of the votes, but it was hardly important enough to be conoluslvo on tha t point. I t demonstrated, however, tha t the estimates of watchers at the polls, whiob have heretofore been relied on ns accurate in towns and small cities, will be worthless hereafter. The result showed that the Healy ticket, with the ex­ception of Da.v, was elected. Day’s overwhelm­ing defeat by MoTiguo answers all McTigiie’s criticisms on the way in which Day bandied the ballot.s. The official figures were:

In ma­terial means the department has prepared to render monibersliip oxceptionally attracUvo.

Many amateurs have a great deal of difficulty in making stereopticou slides. The department operator will give prac­tical demonstrations in any of tho processes, members being required to furnish only glass and chemicals. The dop.artment reading room will also bocomo a greater attraction than ever this season, from the number of hangings which havo appeared upon tho walls during tho summer, aud also the largo amount of photographic literature which has been turned in.

FAREWELL TO REV. MR. WEST.Uidclou «o (td B y a t St, I 'c te r ’s C lin rc li

I.aiit Nigrltt.Last evening a voi’y pleasant reception

n by the members of St. Peter’s Protesgiven by the members of St. Peter’s Protestant Ejiiacopal church in the club room of the edifice on State street, near Bond. Tho ooo.asion was in the nature of a farewell to tho aBsislaut rector of tlio church, tho Rov. Floyd E. NYost, who leaves during the week for a now field of labor in the parish of Delano, Pa., to wliioh ho has recently been called.

The affair was an entirely informal one and, perhaps, for that ro.rson showed Hie better tho esteem in which Mr. West is held by tho congre­gation and also served as an appropriate op­portunity of wishing him tho heartiest of suc­cesses in tho discharge of his no-w duties. For two years he has been tho assistant at St. Peter's, and in tliat timo ho has ondeai’.Kl himself to all, more particularly to the young men of tho par­ish, by liis constant and unllaggiiig zo.il and in­terest in all their church work.

Hio seam will bocom-j; wliereaB, thero is no roa- eou to suppose that auysoam will prove to be Hiickor below tlio BUrfaco than at the outcrop. All bods of oi’o arc doiiositod originally in Hwamps or peat bogs, .and Hic same geological agoiioics that have converted peat into anthra­cite coal will convert bog iron ore into tho very richest of inagnotito and hematite ores. No one expects a scam of coal to grow thicker by excav­ation—tlio outcrop on tlie surface is goiicrally a fair meaaiu’o of the value of tlio coal scam—aud the same is true of a bod of iron.

“Olio of the saddest siglits in tho whole Adiron­dack region is a town in the lower Ausahlo valley, ( wliich thirty years ago had a population of more ■ than twenty-five huudrod souls, and waa then a thriving mamifactuaing towu, liaviiig several iron furnaces, rolling iiiUls ami foundries. This towu is now practically a deserted village. Imu- drods of dwellings being either v.aoaut or iu a tuinblo down condition. Tho whole story of the desertion of the town to this extent may bo ac- cnuiitcd for in- tlie fact that tlie bed of ore whicli was being worked in tlie vicinity proved unprofit­able oil account of its tliimioss, and also from the fact that Hie fuviiaoes wore so far removed from railway cominmucation.

"A niineralogical survey of Hie state is highly important, not only on account of tho iron depos­its which it contains, but sis i for tho biiilding stones and mineral fortilizerB wliich may bo brought to liglit. In the town of Koj-esvillo, in Clinton county, for example, is a very extensive and most valuablcjdepnslt of granite. The gra i- ito is valuable for its extreme beauty and dunibil- ity under tlio iiillnenoe of atmospheric changes aud fire. Perhaps yon will reiuomb-er that al; the great Boston fire iii 'l871, the boat of tho fiamea was sufficient to crnmlile to powder ciiormons graiiito pillars and maso'ary made from tho famouB Quincy granito.

le geology of Long iBlaiid, for exam­ple, is not understood by anyone. The ago of the rocks undorlying the torraiiial glacial mo­raine of Long Island has uot yet been dolor- mined, or scarcely .apiiroiimated, and tho out­crop of salurian rocks in the vein of Flushing lias not boon followed nor m.ada clear. Tho seiciico of geology has made most rajiid strides during tho past thirty years .since the glacial theory has been promiilg.ated, and tho general sclieino of geological strata has b-eoii ostablishod. .Such great states as Ohio, Illiiioi.s, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Miiinosota and Michigan have ma.lo geological suryoys of their witliin tho last ten or fiftee;
