A Good snake story.

The latest authentic snake story Is
from North Glenwood Farm, near
Easton, one of the country places in
Talbot county, Md. The other day q
big black snake was seen emerging
from an ice pond. It was killed. A
protuberance was noticed about the
middle. The snake was chopped In
two, and a porcelain turkey nest egg
rolled out Captain Noble Robinson
was tenant on the farm last year. Mrs.
Robinson raised turkeys. using china
eggs in their nests. She says that IA
months ago she missed the nest egg
from nest near the ice pond. She
supposed boy who had tho range Of
the meadow had taken it. When the
egg from the snake was shown to Mrs.
Robinson. she identified it as one she
had lost by certain incised mark
upon it. The snake had carried the
china egg II months In his vermiform
appendix, apparently without appendl-
citis. But he must have thought very
hard of it and that 1t was very singular
that II could not be digested.

In connection with the above state
ment from the committee it should be
said that the chairman of the meeting
of last Friday evening desires to
state that he took no part what
ever In the choice of officers for the Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt club, and he also
asserts that his rulings as chairman were
strictly parliamentary so far as his part
in the reception of the committees re-.
port was concerned. He further chal.
lenges any person to produce any au-
thority to the contrary.

Mckinley and Roosevelt Club.

The last formal steps In the organization
of the Mckinley and Roosevelt Club were
taken at the meeting in the armOry Friday
night and the club is now ready for bust
ness at the headquarters in the Office rooms
and dining room of the Merell which makes
an ideal place for its reading rooms and
for small gatherings.
The officers elected at the meeting and
the ones who will serve the club, with the
probable exception of some of the vice
Will II. Bigelow; Secretary, James W..
Jordan; Treasurer, l.. A. Sanderhoff; Vice
presidents: 1st ward, r. w. Smith, James
Osburn; 2nd ward, James Bartrem, John
Tawse; 3rd ward, Julius Frieseke. John
Brown Jr.; 4th ward j. l.. Curtis, F. l..
Whiting; 5th ward, G. b. Sickmou, @. w.
Parker.
The committee which had been appointed
at the Tuesday evening meeting to report
set Of officers for election by the club at
the Friday evening meeting submitted re-
port, but 1t had leaked out that the names of
one or two men who had been mentioned
for the Offices had not been considered favor
ably by the comm tee and their friends
gathered tobe sufficient following
to throw c. wn the report of the
commit 's and name different set
of Officers, thing not especially
difficult to do under the circum stances,
for the reason that the committee itself had
no personal interest in the election of the
men 1t placed In nomination and were not
anxious enough to attempt to vindicate
their action to precpitate a fight in the
presence of the visitors from different parts
of the state who were at the meeting.
Doubtless, too, feeling of jealousy which
Is said to exist in certain quarters for the
editor of this paper made the matter still
easier one to accomplish, since 1t was asserted
where 1t was thoughtthat 1t could be done
with good etfect-that the committee had
prepared TIMES slate to be submitted to
the meeting. AS to the truth of the state
ments that the nominations constituted a
TINES slate, TINES readers are referred
to the statement of the committee published
In another column.
The club starts out with large member
ship and in spite of the regretta5le mis-
understanding and disagreement with its
accompanying feeling on the part of num-
Der OF the republican workers of the city
which marred the completion of the clubs
organization, II still has good reason for
being considered in position to do large
amount of good for the party In the thirty
one days which are still left before the
election. The public generally will be
made welcome in the pleasant rooms St
cured for the club at the MereIl.

T honolulu Wedding

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. G.. Duff,
North Washington street, was the scene OF
one of the prettiest home weddings of the
year Wednesday afternoon at three O'Clock
when Mr.. Charles Th0rne and Miss Louie
Duff were united in marriage, the Rev.
Carlos H. Hanks officiating.
AS the guests arrived at the house they
were met by Mr.. Thorne and Miss Duff who
were assisting in the receiving. The south
pa rlor where the receiving was done was
trimmed in pink and white.
The ceremony took place In the north
parlor where the decorations were In green
and white. The service was simple but
very impressive. The bride and groom
were unattended. The bride wore dress
of ivory silk with point lace and mousseline
de sole.
After the ceremony, congratulations and
best wishes were extended by the guests
present, and then the party was served a
wedding supper, the bridal party being
served in the library, the other guests being
served in the parlor.
The wedding presents were many and
costly, including the choicest specimens of
silverware and cut glass.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thorne have both spent
the whole of their lives In Owosso where
they number their friends by the scores.
The bride is graduate of the Owosso high
school of the class of 1897. For part of
the time since then she has acted as book
keeper In her fathers store. She is one
Of the best pianists of the city and has done
much to make more than one of the musical
events of the city successful. The groom
is wide awake, hustliDg young business
man who makes friends without an effort
and holds them too. He has been in the
cigar business for the last few years on Ex-
cDange street where he has been very sue
cess full. He Is also prominent member of
the Knights Of Pythias.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thorhe outwitted their
friends who were determined to give them
a rousing send off at the station and left for
a visit in N. Y. with relatives. They will
be at home at the family residence 4l2
North Washington street after October 20.
The TIMES extends congratulations and
best wishes to Mr.. and Mrs. Thorne.

The Eighth District.

The eighth district campaign is now onS
The republican convention was held last
spring, the populist and social democrat
conventions have been held and candidates
for congress named, and the Bryanite con-
vention is last to place candidate In the
field. Two years ago there were only two
candidates In the field In this district This
year there are four. 1t Is conceded that the
pOpulist and social democrats will poll a
large vote. Last spring the social demo-
Gratis polled several hundred votes in this
city alone, and organization and work has
added to the strength Of the organization.
gan zatlon as we'll as the pOpulist will be
drawn from voters who have heretofore
voted the democratic ticket. These ee-
ments will weaken the democratic ticket in
the district materially. The democratic
nominee is positive man and his Arbitrary
temperament has naturally, during his long
residence here, made some enemies. 1t Is
charged that two years ago the influence Of
Mr.. Burt was exerted against the de mo
cratic candidate for congress In this district,
by reason OF personal differences. Two
years ago Congressman Fordney had a
majority of 1,7O9 in the district, and In a
presidential year, with democrat soreness
and two other tickets In the field to draw
from democratic strength, Mr.. Fordney
ought to have cinch.
But 1t will not be wisdom to underrate the
strength of Wellington r. Burt. He has
resided In Saginaw 35 years, and no resi-
dent of Saginaw Is so widely known. He Is
president Of a railroad, a successful business
man. and Is fertile, resourceful and aggres-
sive. Moreover there will be no lack of
funds, with which to grease the wheels of
the political wagon. 1t was this cOnsidera-
ton that influenced the nomination Of Mr..
Burt He Is millionaire and he can put
1875, 900 into the congressional campaign
much easier than the majority of candidates
could 500. 1t Is we'll known in inner cir
cles that Mr.. Burt does not intend to
spare time, pains or money In his effort to
secure the election, and every heat will be
a race from start to finish.
The Courier Herald believes the district
while politically erratic,i is safely republican
this year with proper effort, but it will not
do for republicans to lie supinely on their
backs and hug the delusive phantom of hope.
The hardest kind of work is necessary

There each one has a goodly space
Each yeoman of the howery race;
Each has a foothold on the earth,
A place for business and tor mirth.
No privilege bars a flowers access

The flowers stand level on Gods floor
With equal ncarncss 10 his store.
And flowers. they have no private ends,
But stand together a. close i'isnds'
They s7nd their beauty ~ al hings,
An equal git to clowns and kings.
They worry not; there is enough
Laid by Tor them OF Code good s;rI--
Enough Tor all, and 50 no fear

So from the field comes curious news.
That each one takes what IL can use
Takes what is lifted cup can hold

Ard all give back, with easure high,
Their riches to The sun Ed sky.
Yes, since the first star they have stood
