New York politicians are fertile in party
nomenclature. Formerly there were Barn
burners, Hunkers, Subterraneans, Anti
Masons, Wings and Freesoilers; besides
the Democrats and Republicans of later
period. Now the Republicans are divided
into two factions, the Stalwarts and the
Half Breeds.

yelled Daddy Hicks, from his roof
across the street.
The two scientists pointed out the
object Of dispute, and each argued at
length on the theory.
That's all right" said Daddy Hicks,
"but you don't neither of you seem to

THE Memphis Avalanche and the
LEDGER are beginning to see to what
an awful extent their people have put
their foot in it, in filing the injunction

case which has no law in it. They are
beginning to hedge already a long
ways in advance Of the consideration
of their case by the Supreme Court

Is that SO? We were not aware Of
it. AS far as the LEDGER is con
cerned we heartily approve Of the
steps taken to stop the funding bust
ness, and hope that those who oppose
the 1908 act will fight over every
inch of ground, not only in the courts
but in the next canvass. The success:

The brides presents in the way of
jewelry were rich. She wore an ele-
CANT gold watch and chain which her
husband had presented her some time
ago. After the congratulations at the
chapel, the party repaired to Schnei-
der's restaurant. There were twenty
guests at the table, and an abundance
was served, including wines from all
parts of the globe. The Chinese rice
wine was pronounced the finest ever

Catholics, and it is stated that Ben

There was a social gathering at the

an ample bank account for the future.
