VOTING LASTS FOR DAYS* Ijntini af Dividing the Country Into ptatrlsto Who are Entitled to Cast Ballots—Work of Presiding Officer—Any Male Peraon mJy Become a Candidate. By Royal the K' n# terminates the exist. ng pcrlianuat aad by the same proclammiui n.s majesty calls the Parliament about lo bo elected to meet, says the Ch.cu go Newa. Ho orders the chancellors of Great Britain and Ireland to Issue writs for ■omhaatioas aad pollings In towu and country, la the first instance these writs go to the sheriffs and In the second to the mayors. They require that the electlous shall be held lu a specified period and leave to each responsible official the duty of fixing too moat convenient day. The result as that the polling is spread out over a fortnight or more, Orkney and Shetland coming In at the tail of the returns long after the general re sult la known. tVuarlj writs were returnable within fifty days of Issue, but quick er facilities of communication have reducad the time to thirty-five days. Wrtta used to be carried by dignified mesaancers of the crown; at present they take their chances with picture postcards and ordinary letters. Per sonal service of writs, with the cere mony of affixing the great seal, sur vives oi|ly In the case of the sheriffs of the counties of London and Mid dlesex. However, the precaution Is taken of requiring a memorandum from every recipient setting forth the day and the hour the writ was de llverad. Before the ballot act of 1872 the process of nomination was a pictures que and sometimes exciting proceed ing. The candidates attended at the hustings aad were proposed snd sec onded la laudatory speeches addres sed to "the free aad Independent elec tors," and to the casual crowd that collected la the hopeful expectation of a row. A show of bands was called for by tke returning officer, but this was always demanded by one or oth ar of the candidates. The disorderly scenes that took place and the poa slble intimidation of voters caused the ballot act to be passed. To UM presiding officer belong all the duties of maaaglng the polling His work is scheduled with great minuteness, covering every moment of hla time from t a. m. until he hands over to the returning ofllcei the sealed packets of votes at the close of the count. One of his first flares Is to see thst the ballot box Is empty and to demonstrate thl„ ftct to those preaent. when he must lock It and aeal It. He Is responsible for the proper stamping of the voting papers (with a cross opposite candi dates' names) and the correct ticking off of names from the register. He regulates the number of voters ad mitted to the room at one time. He administers tke oath when there is any doubt cast on the identity of a voter, gives another ballot paper tn place of any spoiled, gives a tendered ballot paper to any person who ap plies to vote after another has voted la hla name, which vote has to be put into a ae pa rate packet. The presiding officer has also per sonally to mark the ballot paper of any voter Incapacitated by bllndneas or other physical cause, or who, be ing a Jaw, objects to mark a ballot papfer on Saturday. Occasionally It Is hla duty to give persons Into cus tody for personation. In which case he marka the vote "protested agalnat the personation." As the clock strikes S p. as. the doors are dosed and only those who have already received pa pers are allowed to vote. The oount lag la generally done by experienced bank clerks. Its monotony Is some times relieved by the returning of ficer's inspection of the papers reject ed hy the counters because they are appareatly Improperly marked. The voter* entitled to take part la tIM election are those whose name* are on the register Registration waa latroduoed after the reform act of 18JJ. aad the present law affords much more satisfactory means of pruvlng aad testing claims to voto than the rough-and-ready methods formerly la use. IJsts of voters are made oat by local authorities and carefully revised, in Bngianl by bar rister* appointed for the purpose, la Scotland by the sheriff or his substi tute la a registration court. The per sons entitled to be placed on the register are male persons over SI, aot be lag peers, not disqualified by alienage, office. or employment, un souadnesa of mind, conviction for crime or corrupt practices, or receipt of parochial relief and possessing the property qualifications required by law.

C M f RID AY, APRIL 13, 1906 ATHLETES IN PERSIA. Mathcxf* Practiced In Training Not Like Thle Country, Thn athlete* of Greece and Rome thought to maintain their prodigious strength by frequent and violent exer cises In the gymnasium; hut the Per sian profeaaiouala follow quite another course. They avoid severe exertion and fa tigue. They eat live or six times a day, and are warmly clothed, especial ly during the cold season. As the Persians also treat their horses in the same way—and ail the world knows the endurauce, strength and beauty ot the Persian breeds—this system may not be so abaurd as it at first appears to us with our different notions and practice. These athletes, on ordinary occa sions go sbroad but one*' dally, and tiii'ii toward evening and walk with greet deliberation. When the period for practicing or for exhibiting In public approaches, the Persian athlete lies In bed for sev eral dnys, gathering force for the con test of strength. Our plan Is lo gain streuglh by exercise; their not so much to galu aa to keep what strength they have. Strange aa this th«ory of the con servation of forces may seem. there la yet no question that Mime of these Perslam athletes sometimes display prodigious power. The public exhibitions are held In places especially contrasted for the purpose. ITie arena or pit Is excavated at least Ave or six feet below the sur face. and the earth Is beaten hard and rolled smooth. The spectators alt, Persian fashion, on their knees and heels on the floor of the gallery built around the arena, anil carefully pro tected by an awning or roof from the elements. The arena, whether oval or round, has an average circumference of 140 feet. In the better class of amphi theaters the floor of the arena Is some times spread with thick, massive felt carpet, and the sides are padded with cushions to prevent Injury to the per formers. When time is called, the athletes run forward and leap from the gallery Into the arena, sometimes alighting and balancing themselves some moments on one leg-a remarkable feat Their only garment Is a pair of clone-fitting breeches of leather. Their skin Is oiled, to enable them to elude the grasp of their opponents. A number enter the arena at once and begin with prolonged exercises with heavy Indian clubs, which they jwlog In every position, gradually In creasing the weight until toward the close of this practice clubs of oak are sometimes wielded In each hand weighing CO pounds. This club exer cise continue* over two hours; ths movements are made to the accompa niment of mualc, and, toward the close, the strongest athletea stand on one leg and balance the clubß at arm's length for several seconds. This species of exercise Is of great antiquity in Persia The athlete who Is able to outlast all tho others In the club game is accounted the victor and receives substantial rewards from tbu spectators. After this sport Is over the wrestlers begin. When they are ready to grap ple, each places his right hsnd on the head of the other, as a salute. They then grasp each other with delibera tion, placing one arm over and the other under the shoulder of the op ponent. Then the struggle begins In earnest. Aa with us, the chief object of ths Persian wrestler Is to throw his an tagonist. and on the back. If possible. At the very outset one or other of the wrestlers drops on his hands and knees, and then has to resist the ef forts of his antagonist to turn him over on his back. One might easily Imagine that a tall, muscular athlete would have little dif ficulty In accomplishing that feat, es pecially SB It is permitted by their rules to lift one's antagonist by ths 'leather hand of the breeches; but th« strength, suppleness and quickness ot the Persian athlete are such that ths maneuvre Is one of extreme difficulty. As a last resort, th« wrestler who Is down may still further resist the at tempt to turn by falling flat on his stomach. Experience shows that In this position a skilful athlete offers still greater powers of resistance than nn hla knee*. If the standing wrestler finally suc ceed* In laying his antagonist flat on the bark, the latter remains there long •nough to thank him, then springs erect and once more salutea the vic tor with every mark of deep respect The latter receive* the courtesy with ailent gravity, as conscious that be In turn may noon be among the van quished; for the victor must meet all newoowers, until he encounters one both atronger and fresher than him self. Cases have occurred of Persian ath lete* who have successfully overcome every antagonist who has presented himself at one exhibition of strength, men having been known to conquer from twenty to twenty-four boniest ants In one afternoon. Presents are showered on each vic tor, the one remaining last In the field •ometlmes receiving hundreds and thousands of dollars from the wealthy and enthusiastic spectafcrs. This sport is highly esteemed In Per sia, and men of rank and physical strength sometime* condescend to en ter the arena and try a bout with th« professional athletes. The latter are shrewd enough on such occasions to give the victory to their wealthy antagonists, who. flushed by their success, present costly gift* to tte pro# esslonal.—Waverly Magazine lm a Joke will sometime* turn. — _ 1 , , | ■ ot ™ For Sixty Rothschilds • The Financial Advisors.

While Pope I'luh la economical in administering the attaint of hia bouse hold, he gives more In charity, consid ering hla resources.

Plus IX. left in the pontifical treasury a capital which for many years has yielded an Income of SOOO,- 000. This has been Invested In Ital ian bonds, but the income is. though sure, not so large as Plus X. desires. Hence, for a year or more the Vati 6an has been ridding itself of these securities and buying solid English bonds. Another source of Income Is the Peter's Pence, which, though consid erably run down since the Prench se cession, amounts to about $750,000 a year, a substantial portion coming (rom Germany. An average of $200,- 000 a year is derived from the real estate rentals In Home and another SIOO,OOO comes from the Datarla tax on bulls and briefs.
