The RECORDS candidate re-
ceived the endorsement of the peo-
pie.
The RECORD got in more good
work than many people supposed
it could.
There was a pleasant social
gathering Thursday evening at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. John
| Whitlow on Howe avenue.
It is hard to be grateful to the
man who fights your battles for
you and gets licked.
A u. S. Senator admits that he
was once sore1y tempted to kill a
base ball umpire. Such tempta-
tions will soon become frequent
again.
Frank M. Smith, aged 81, of
Washington Heights, New York
City, uncle to Mrs. O. S.. Freeman
died suddenly at his hcme last
Thursday morning. His father
also died the same day, and at the
same house.
Everybody who has given the
matter thought agrees with the
prevailing sentiment that Mayor
Brown did himself injury by al
lowing Mr.. Offord's Passaie Opfn-
ion to be resurrected to publish
matter the Nesos dare not father.
If Senator Grigg' services to the
city an assisting City Counsel Rust
have been worth $3.50 the
| bill should be paid. It
would be interesting to know, how
ever, the names of the gentlemen
who instructed Mr.. Rust to employ
him.
Ex-Councilman Martin Costello
has removed his wholesale liquor
business to the store next to
Speer's building on Main avenue
near Washington Place. His Pas
sale street store will be occupied
by 7. v. S. Van Wrinkle, the hard
ware dealer, and Judge Ross will
remove his paint store to Van
Wrinkles deserted shop.
! The unscrupulous methods
which the Daily Vea0s resorted to
to sustain Mayor Browns candi-
dacy was convincing evidence of
the strength of the RECORDS op-
position.
The swelling buds upon the
maple trees are the first to indicate
that they are responding to the
impulses of nature and giving US
evidences of the renewal of that
| life which characterizes the return
of spring A few balmy days
will very soon clothe the
fields and lawns with emerald
tints and then the green velvet
carpet of natural vegetation. The
birds are hard at work preparing
their summer habitations and the
frantic struggles of the little house
sparrows to get away with straws
and nest building materials FIVE
times their own size and almost as
heavy cause many thoughtful
person to pause, wonder and COM
mend the persistency of the birds
in their efforts to secure home
| for themselves, and to take the
| lesson to heart. This is not an ar
gument for a building and loan
idea, but it bears a striking SINH
larity.
Perhaps Mayor Brown didn't
want the RECORD, but the result of
the primaries shows that he did,
Everybody who is at all familiar
with the plans of "The MacKaye
| Spectatorium is assured of the
magnitude of the enterprise, and
the following endorsement from
Herr Anton Seidl, the great New
York orchestra leader. will 60 far
to establish the same certainty as
to the artistic merit of the produc-
ton. After having been shown the
model, he expressed himself to a
New York newspaper man as fol-
lows /" Here will be realized all
that Wagner ever dreamed of and
more than has been attempted at
the Bayreuth Festival. Features,
like the rainbow in Rheingold,
for instance, which at the German
capitals were failures will here be
a marvel of scenic accomplish
ment. This undertaking will be
of more than national Importance,
as it will undoubtedly lead to the
establishment of grand Ameri-
| can Bavreuth Festival. :"
