Just think what It would be If I he country had to be saved every six ironths.

Instead of once In (our years! Either we would die of nerves and noise, or else elections would become so stupid that we would keep about our private business and let the country go straight to tho demnitlon bow-wows, ns of course It would have to. What? Looking into the Street last night, observ ing the bonfires lighted hours before any- body had an Inkling of the result and saw the hurrying figures seeking bulletins and cocktails, would you have It otherwise, or would you continue tho present cueionis? Thero Is no doubt that if we were to hold elections not oftener than once In ten years. It wpuld come fearfully hard on the spell binder, and the gen- who is willing to serve the public iu some small but duly remuner ated canacity. These are restius now; the spellbinder, with his jaws bound up in flannel, his teeth newly cemented into place. and the gent who expected a job where he could do $10 worth of work for $50 is leaning reposefully against a bar explaining to his associates all sorts of uncxplainable things.

Isn't it queer that no matter how often we'; select people, and how little peril the country appears to be under, we can never put a man Into a public place without the same hooroaring and horn blowing and blither and blather as when we made George Washington our President? And doubtless this sort of thing will go on to tho end of time, and the Eagle will- have the same eager multi tude swarming up to'lts doors and windows, to learn how many for (he other! fellow In tho Stecnth District of the Umpty- umpth ward. Tho multitude simply couldn't endure it till jiiorning no.t.to, kuow. And there is not much difference whether you elect a Preslderrt 'OT'-a -mayor. We did not have to engage a President last year, yet there was almost as much hurroo as happened last niglu. Any old official will do to roar about, and even an alderman Is an excuse for a bonfire.

They showed that they were "ToddyitoH" and did not appear to be at all surprised at the results as shown in the returns.

Bulletins were received every two or three minutes and the same course was pursued in the Information Bureau us adopted in tho room on the. second floor. A great many of the visitors took advantage of the opportunity to inspect the Eagles plant and they wero hnwn through the entire building. They seemed to take more than ordinary interest in the rooms where the election returns aro received und prepared for the compositor and showed some HurpilHe tit the original methods of facilitating the handling of election news. Dozens of parties visited ho news and editorial rooms where the election workers wre preparing the figures and had the whole system explained lo them.

Then they visited the composing room lo see how the retu; ns were set up In type in tubulated form by the linotype machines. They visited all the mechanicnl departments of the paper and inspected the operating of the tower illumluaiiou showing the result of the election in Ihe city, Htato and nation.

The supply was nearly exhausted. The reading of the returns was continued until about, midnight and even th-n th'-re were manv who remained to hear the lust returns that came in. Those who left early In tbe evening bad ihe difficult ta-di of working their way through the big crowds that blocked Wash! ii ton si reet from the Post, Office to the UoroiiKh Hall.

When Sheriff Hosterberg said that Mi Fuller had a good chance of being elected a great cheer went up. It was evident that Remsen had lost favor in this strong Republican district. People traveled from Coney Island and Fort Hamilton to get the returns from the Kalo bulletins ut Bath Beach. Tho police had their hands full handling the big crowd. Fifth avenue was jammed at Ninth street, where Eagle bulletins were displayed, and until after midnight there was a perfect din.

It was a Roosevelt crowd and gave testimony to that fact from 6 o'clock until the goodnight bulletin was displayed. JtJtJtJtJt Election Day means a temporary halt In the movement of Society, practically, also, nothing of movement on the day before. Once tbe business of voting Is over, however, the making of social history goes on even more briskly. With nothing on Monday or Tuesday, tho remaining dayB of Election Week have each evening and most of the afternoons well filled, the events including seven weddings, the first Heights subscription dance of the sociul year, a costume ball and a dance of a musical club, two house receptions and a large semi-public reception in honor of a famous professional. Four ot theso weddings are to-day, for the most part In the afternoon.

Together they furnish the entire programme, tho first of the receptions and the dances spoken of coming to-morrow. Geographically, these weddings cover tho enllro borough. There Ib one of a Heights girl, to be solemnized In one of tho Heights' fashionable churches. Another Is that of a girl of tho old Hill set of Clinton avenue, who will be wedded to a man ciuite as traditionally of the Hill. The Upper Hill also has Its bride, and over in Manhattan a girl who is well known In Brooklyn Is to be married.

The brides, in the order named, aro Miss Sara Virginia Carhart, Miss Violet Harknesu, Mls Florence Lyles Stevens, Miss Judith Adarns. All except Miss Stevens aro to bo married In the afternoon. The Upper Hill's wedding preference geems to be for the evening a custom that is seldom or never broken beyond Grand Avenue. Tho bridal of Miss Carhart, Mr. and Mrs.

Henry D. Carhart's daughter, and Edward Lawrence Ashton, son of Mr. and Mrs. II. Br.ilthwalto Aehton, of Chestnut Hill, will be a very smart affair, and Is particularly Interesting since It Is the first big church wedding of the Heights this season.

There have been several Heights brides of1 equal prominence nnd equal fashion already Miss Natalie Collin, Miss Elsie White Hop kins, Miss Kate Marie Poppcnhuseu but all Of these have either been wedded out of town or have had house bridals. Miss Car- hart will be married In Grace Church on the HeighVs, at 4:30 o'clock to-day, and tnla will be one of the very attractive bridals of the early winter. A feature of it will be the appearance of this bride's Bister, Miss Ethel Carhart, one of the prettiest of the very young girls of the Heights, as maid of honor. It will be, altogether, a particularly imposing wedding party, with some of its chief figures Miss Louisa Lee, Miss LoiMce Cnrhart, Ira Richards, Frederick R. Crego, Miss Mollle Maxwell, J.

Dunham Carhart, Miss Frances Williams and John Lewis. The Edmund C. Converse-Judith, Adams naval men say; that is. no space or object was strongly illuminated at the end of them.

From any high point or open space in town the great cross of white fire flashed against tho stars, and looking on it the joyful gave utterance of their joy, and the otherwise sought retirement in their boarding houses, clubs ani places of less sacred association. hTA wofw AOolt dowodwO While the big beams of light trom tne roo( gave tho gl.ncrttl result, the Eagle's bulletins entered into particulars, and were plavcd on a shept b. stereopticon, on the Johnson street side, and Hy figures written ou a blackboard over I ho main entrance on Washington sireet. Tho young man who posted the hitler figures wore telephones on his ears ami paced to and fro with a lump o'f chalk, while Signor Gigantl, the professor of pedal Integumentary art, who practices his profession beside tho Eagle's doors, went afier him and rubbed out the statements as fast as they became obsolete, as they did with the rapidity ot the last novel, Slight indications of majorities, as expressed ln election disiricts. stl.

Tho Democrats had one of the best chances in their lives to cry upon Ihe shoulders rf their friends, but they didn't, perceptibly.

They bit a little harder Into their cigars, oni puiled their hats a little tighter over tJuir brnws, but there wero no reproaches. wnat would be tne use? Tins is a country wieri. you have to abide by tho result of the elections, for we have uot adopted the Smith American tneth'd of going against the government with fire-arms. It was an inspiring slsiit, too, in a way, that of the opposed in Interest, yet unanimous in preservation of thn p'ace and common right brotherly, American. Grent Crowds Cheered returns at Eag-le Branch Offices.

The Farle as usual i first in bulletining the returns anil at the various branch offices throughout tha city throngs gathered and cheered Hilly every'hlng. Over in Mauhittrin at the Twenty-third slre-t branch i unds got Ihe nev.s ha Pomevd' hd two loeie-d and had earriel New York Plate at 6:45 o'clock from th bulletin bcaid.

The resulis wore flashed upon a great sheet at ihe of the Eust Kiver Ilrldge and hundreds bound foi Manhattan left curs ut ibis point and did not go any further. Bulletins were displayed also at tho Eagle branch, 41 II road v. ay.

ln East New York the crowd was larger in Its wedding train. The wedding among the Hill's old families, of Mr. and Mrs. William Harkness' youngest daughter, Miss Violet Harkness, and Mr. and Mrs.

George P. Tangeman's son and the lato Dr. Cornelius Hoagland's grandson, Cornelius Hongland Tangeman (at tbe Harkness home, 293 Clinton avenue), will bring forward only Miss Isabelle Harkness and Jacob Q. Bergen as attendants. At the evening wedding of to-day, when from her homo, 51)1 Jefferson avenue, Miss Florence Lylo Stevens becomes Mrs.

Walter Powell Kitchell, there will be in the wedding train, among others, Miss Edna Lorene Kitchell, Miss Gertrude Gilltlly, Edwin C. Worcester and W. Monroe Roberts. Receptions will follow all those weddings, but that of the Tangomnn-Hnrkness bridal will bo very small. In a measure to-morrow will bo quite as ulgniflcant socially as to-day, but its enter- taiulug will be very different in its charac- ter.

Until analyzed tbe day seems to be bigger even than to-day. But two of its three weddings are to take place at some little distance out of town in each case, and the third wedding is a bouse affair and by no means large. Thus, matrimonially to- morrow will not be responsible for the donning of many new frocks. The day's point in Soeleiy lies in its two larso re- ceptiona, and oue of thesti continuing over into the evening. There is also one of the Hill subscription dances scheduled.

The lnrgtr of the receptions is that of Mr. and Mis William Guy Gilmore, jr. (Miss Olyve at the Candeos' home, Garfteld place, from 4 to 7. This is really a Bumi-wcdding recoption, Mrs. Gilmore be- ing a bride of tho spring.

The second recep- tlon Is iu honor of another bride. It is given by Mrs. William Penn Eddy and Miss Elsie Kay Eddy for Mrs. John Lynn Eddy, at the Eddy residence, 272 Clifton place. To-mor- row evening's dance, noted above, is that of the Studio Club.

Of the three weddings, that to bo solem- nized in Brooklyn is Miss Florence Mason's, Miss Mason is to be married to Joseph Knapp Smith, from hr father's home, 8U0 Presl- dent street, MiKa EIkIc Olds attending ber. A bride- and a bridegroom, both of the HelghtH. make up tho out of town weddings, From her mother's linnm in Lake Waeeabue, N. Y. (up in the Lake Mahopac territory), Florence Church Mead, formerly of Monroe place, will be wedded to Horace Irv- Ing Brightman of Manhattan.

Noon Is tho hour of this country house bridal. In the afternoon William Kingsley Fowler of the Heights Is to marry. His urine is Mish Mil- dred Hennhaw Fowle, ot Ul Hulsted street, Eatit Orange, X. once Brooklyn girl. 1 This wedding will be at 4:30 o'clock and from the Fowle's home.

Long before Ihe hour had come for really1 determinative returns the congregation In the street bad io lncreated that from the windows of this oliieo one looked uot upon a sea of faces, for a sea needs more room; but a river of them; thousands ol countenances lifted into the light, thousands of eyes shining up at the bulletins.
