Rnthusiastic Rally or the Women's Union
League Club In Brooklyn.

The women's Republican Union League'Club
in Brooklyn had q splendid rally for Gen. Tracy
last night in the big hall Of the Johnston build
ing. The decorations consisted Of American
flags and red white, and blue bunting. All the
patriotic women who organized the club in the
great campaign last year were present and
exhibited the same warm enthusiasm for Gen.
Tracy as they did for Mr. Mckinley. Mrs Kate
NJ. Bostwck. the President of the club. explained
that the constitution of the organization de-
manded that they should sustain the principles
OF the Republican party in the homo. State. and

PHILOSOPHY OF HEATING.

the franklin stove. which was a great advance
over anything then known for improved COM

He Casts HE Republican Cloak Aside while

Seth Low admitted last night while speaking
at several Brooklyn meetings that he was very
anxious to sec the Republican party smashed,
tramplcd upon. and wiped out OF existence.
Although this was not news to the ma
jority of Republicans in Greater New
York. Mr.. Low has all along hidden
himself behind the cloak of Republican
ism. so that few Republicans really believed
that Low was not traitor to the party that
had once plao him at the head of great city
government. He had been declaring each night
that he just wanted to give home rule to Greater
New York and to separate national and munich
pal issuet In other words. that he was a Re-
publican when national questions were at stake,
but an independent on ty issues
Don't let these outside statesmen-theseS Sena-
tors from other States-come in here and confuse
your minds" he said. but stand by tho Cti-
zens' Union. that when you have elevated
your men they will be in office what you chose
them TO be. II you elect your officer with

hnEs is Es IKE man who
tries to ride two horses at the same time II the
horses begin to separate he has got to select one
duty to perform and hold him to it." 'nS''
In other words, Mr. Low gaye his hearers to
understand that he cared nothing for the ma
tional Republican party; that he had selected
the horse which he intended to ride. and that
horse was not the sort Of horse which he had
ridden a few years ago.
He spoke at Ave meetings in Brooklyn. The
biggest of Q meet ngs which he addressed was
that at the Clermont Avenue Rink. Here for
the first timo since the campaign opened q ON
mittee had failed to I'LL the hall. On every other
occasion at all the meetings held in the Rink this
year the building has been crowded. Last night
there were less than 800 people there.
The list of speakers ut the Rink was the same
as that at the other four meetings one OF which
was at Flatbush. where tho Cits managed to

Mr.. Low begged and pleaded with the audi.

While the meeting at the Rink was In proRress
one OF MIR. Lows admirers said to another in q
whisper: "
I'm very sorry for Mr.. Low. He knows he
has no earthly chance of being elected. He told
q friend of his. Mr.. Wasserman, In New York n

The African Parrot.

Our parrot was the present of kind
friend in the summer of 1877, having
been brought from Africa only few
months previously. Her plumage is
the same in color as was her prede-
cessors'. She was evidently young
bird when she came, as she has grow i
since we have had her. In spite of her
twenty years there is no sign of age
about her; she sings, dances. climbs
and whistles with all the vgOr of
youth, and though perhaps smaller IN
size than our other two birds, is quite
as noisy. In many ways, however, she
is very different from Them being. for
instance, much more shy in the pres
ence of strangers, before whom she
rarely talks. and is more curious in her
habits, taking great fancies to some
people and decided dislikes to others.
She has an unpleasant habit of some
times saying gOod-by to visitors when
she does not approve of them. When
she cannot get what she wants she
gives angry whacks and double knocks
on the tin floor of her cage. Nothing
appears to delight her more than mis-
chief. She positively revels in it, and
to get hold of anything she ought not
is to have unmiXed joy. Evidently the
bird has been at some time very cruelty
treated; for months she was terrified
at the sight Of man or boy, and for
years a brOomstick was an object of
horror to her. Since getting over this
fear she has shown decided liking
for the sweep and the goldman. and
the latter has left the house with the
bird wishing him gOod-by, and affec-
tionately requesting him to kiss her.
which gives rise to the question wheth-
er she may have had, in her African
past a kind negro friend. Any one Who
has ever had the opportunity of study
ing the parrot tribe must have been
struck with their extraordinary gift Of
memory. so long ago observed by the
great Plutarch.

but why do you want to give them to

II don't want to give them to

the lips of imaginative witnesses that

the most vivid of her pictorial efforts.

it with breathless interest.
