A question arose as to the method
of ascertaining the majority vote for
Alfermn. it having been shown that
voters at several of the precincts cast
their ballots only for Mayor, others
only for Aldermen and in other cases
that some voters used two ballots
upon which to vote for two candidates
for Alderman. Confronted by these
Mrnfexiiiflr 'mathematical problems,
members of the committee by con-
frnca in some instances with the ln-
nAAtora . of election ' arrived at the
facts as set forth above, which are
official.

Mr. Edward Baxter Perry Greeted by an
Intelligent Andiesce Last Night.
Mr. Edward Baxter Perry, the blind
lecturer and pianist, was triven a very
pleasant reception in the auditorium
of the Y. M. O. A. last evening. The
large and intelligent audience which
heard him showed its thorough appre
ciation of the entire programme by
hearty applause.
Mr. Perry's synopsis of each number
was given in the easy, conversational
tone that gives each listener a per
sonal interest in the story told. There
was also just enough and not too
much said. Oftimes it seemed that
the story was unnecessary, so well
did the brain, through the agency of
the singing strings, bring out the
composer's thoughts. Mr. Perry's
Eaglish is faultless, his tone and
style that of a finished speaker and
his periods convincing by their very
directness and easy simplicity.
He rendered selections from Bee
thoven, Chopin, Grieg, Rubinstein,
Saint Saens and Liszt. His playing
was faultles-, the execution exceed
iPJClxJaiJliani :nd .the. .programme -a :
most interesting Qe throughout His
interpretation of Chopin was specially
happy. The recital was given under
the direction of the Piano Recital Or
ganization of this city.

other - respects the vehicle, was not
damaged.
