billiards as he is at mind reading.
heard good deal of complaint about
the gas and some of the boys favor cleo
trio lightning. Itwould be an excellent
idea.
If there is one thing more than another
that the boys delight in Il is to get up a
billiard match between Maurice Hammer
schlag and Perry Cnmberson. Hammer
schlag's enthusiasm leads to a great in
crease in the buffet account.
The boys note with glee that s'SfgD
HammerschIag has only one fault to find
with the Union League CLUB and that IS
that 1t cannot be mo we'd to the corner of
Reservoir and Palisade avenues
There is no member of the club whose
services are more appreciated than those
of II. Z. Liftchild. Jr.
The boys had great time last night
over the delicious rabbit stew prepared
by the deft fingers Of Steward Archer.
Secretary Cumberson says that any one
wearing evening dress next Tuesday, ex-
cepr the entertainmen5 COMMITTEES, will

vided for them Not only will Humorist
James S. Burdette make the house ring
with his stories and recitations, but Prof
Louis Eckert viii render some selection 8

HUDSON DEMOCRATIC SO
GETTY.

Ex-Judge Garretson, the new president
of the Hudson Democratic Society, is
very popular with the members and great
things are predicted for the society under
his progressive and energetic admins
tratiOn.
For a long it has been mystery why
It was that every time Jimmy Hall left
the society's pariors he took home with
him salad IN box. The mystery has
been unraveled by the explanation that
the salad Went t.. the queen Of Jimmy's
domestic realm as q peace Offering.
It is expected that the society's parlors
will be crowded on the evening OF
December 30, when Prosecutor Charles
II. Winfield will lecture upon sDemoc-
racy." The lecture will be a free one and
will be open to the public.
Myles McCartin, City Collector
with his vocation of taking in checks all
day at the City Hall that he continues it
in the evening at the society's rooms.
When the accomplished successor to
Steward Lee was chosen some objection
was raised to him by the more ultra
Democratic members. No fault was
found with either the product of Mr..
Murray's kitchen or buffet. but the
trouble was with his whiskers 1t was
declared that they too closely resembled
those of General EdgeWater Park Grub
to be orthodox
zine members are OF the opinion That
files should be furnished for the period
icals and magazines which lie upon the
tables in the parlers. The matter has
been brought TO the attention OF the COM
mittee and the files will probably be
forthcoming before long.
Chemist Phillips denies that he has
taken away for analysis sample of the
appolinaris water which Brigadier
General Albeit invariably drinks. He
says that his time is too much occupied
in classifying the species found In Passaic
water TO monkey with appolinaris.

THE MACS AND THE 0'S.
A Budget of Gossip from the
Rooms Of the Two Political
Organizations.

Affairs have been remarkably quiet at
the O'Neills' headquarters since Sunday.
At no time could mora than two or three
members be seen in the rooms together.
Outside there is considerable talk
among the members about the proposed
invitation ball In February.
Invitations TO ball at the Mixed Ale
Club headquarters, across the street. have
been out for some time.
The profits realized from the sale OF
seats at last Sunday nights concert
amount to $500. Thanks TO Treasurer
William Helier,s excellent management
City Collector O'Neill, the standard
bearer of the association, felt proud over
the splendid show of wit and eloquence
displayed at the dinner following the pre-
sentation of the O'Niells' testimonial Of
esteem to Proprietor John F. Ames, of
the Stevens House, New York, on Thurs
day. Congressman McDonald's witty re-
plies to Mr. divers satire on Jersey has
been theme of conversation among the
members ever since the presentation.
Ex-Assemblvman Murphy has fine
voice, and is often called upon TO sing at
the various entertainments OF the
O'Neills. He will find rival in Restau-
ranteur Livingston, one of the recent ac-
quisitions
While the recent cold snap did not sue
coed in freezing up all the streams aud
rivulets in the vicinity. It has been noted
ceptionally good.
Fire Commissioner John Brown does
not confine himself exclusively to the
affairs OF either his own or of the Nc
Laughlin Association. His popularity
among the O'Nellls IS as great as among
the members or the above mentioned or
ganiz ations.
Clerk Thomas O'Connor, of the CITY
Collectors office, has been too busy of
late with his Office duties to visit often
the rooms of the association. HIS familiar
form and bright witticsms are sadly
missed by the other members
The ovation rendered Joe O'Connor at
Sunday nights concert must have been
extremely gratifying to "Our Joeu
Though appearing in a galaxy of cele-
brated artists Joe's meiodious wit
sparkled like gem.
The new rooms OF the Mclaughlin AS
ISOLATION are in such a condition as to
preclude the meetings as of yore, but the
boys gather in knots In and about the
Park House and dwell longingly upon
the future comforts of their abode.
Work is being pushed SO that the
rooms can be opened on New Years eve
when grand stag racket viii be given.
Denny says he has surprise for the
boys in the shape OF painting presented
to him by one of his legion OF friends.
There will be a full netting Of the club
on Tuesday evening.
Since the piano mas been covered mp the
the uuartette has not practiced with the
usual vigor and fear the ladies will miss
IL sadly.
Since John Mcdonald has joined the Fire
Department he seldom misses night at
the club and is one Of its most earnest
members.

Johnny Hooper concocts milk punch is
refreshing and his voice penetfates the

the cave on Kldd's Island was mis- hiding

does not seem possible that he could have

The claim that re at times called himself
