A letter to the Editor in another column
shows with what interest Republican voters
are waiting to see how the primary elections
of the party i'll this city will be conducted this
fall The State Committee is urged earnestly
TO see to it that all Republicans who are legal
voters have the privilege of voting at the
primaries This is indeed matter of great
Importance. The Republican State Convention
failed to provide for the reorganization OF the
party in NewYork last October, and we shall
be glad if it does not prove that grave mis-
take was made then. Reorganization, at least
In districts where there was complaint of too
much machine management, would have been
vise. Yet it was not done. The present State
Committee should give this subject careful
consideration, to see what Its power is. The
exclusion of great numbers of Republicans
from participation in the primaries, simply be-
cause the machine managers choose to keep
them out, is an outrage which the party can
not afford to tolerate any longer. Last year

The fact that Samuel Obreight married a
woman after one days acquaintance is urged
as proof of his insanity. But it is certain
that he could not have selected a more vigor
Gus ally for a time of trouble than she is if he
had taken a year and day in which to con-
slider the matter. Yet Mrs. Obreight carried
her wifely devotion too far, and did not help
her husbands cause, it must he admitted,
when she cast red pepper into the eyes of the
officers of the law Indeed, this family quar-
rel is assuming alarming dimensions. The res
idents in the neighborhood of Third-ave. and
Ninety -second-st., where "Jumbo Palace" the
alleged lunatic's hquor-store. is situated, have
become so interested in the struggle that I'M
less some of the Obreights are locked up soon,
either in an asylum or in jail, riot seems
imminent

Among the minor charities of this city there
is none that is more worthy of support than
the Earle Guild, which in summer furnishes
ice to the sick poor. The well-to-do pub
lie uses ice SO freely that 1t seldom thinks
what comfort 1t is, but among the poor it
Is a great luxury. To the sick 1t is especially
grateful, for they have so little to make them
comfortable in their hot, close rooms. Some
particulars of the Guilds work will be found
in our local columns.

little knowledge of your needs, and OF tho
qualities OF tho springs, soon enables you 10
make your selection, and you arc astonished
az the amount OF this water that you can
absorb.
And then as to company, you can havo your
choice. Here are daily religious gatherings,

clergymcn here, and among them some OF tho
most prominent in the country.

You can pay enormous prices IL you desire at
