On account of the unfavorable
weather. the congregations were neces-
sarily small yesterday. In the morn
ing the pastor, Rev. S. +. Mathews.
read and gave u brief discourse on
the Scripture. In the evening he took
for his text Luke, 1927, "Thou shalt

concise manner, SO as to appeal to
every one present.
The outlook for the Sunday school

At the Saratoga convention the Brooklyn friends
of the Lieutenant-Governor were insistent that he
should not accept the nomination for the second
place on the ticket. This feeling was not confined
TO Brooklyn alone. The Tribune on Tuesday morn

AS there is a strong likelihood of the Republican
State tickets election. Mr. Woodruff will be in
State politics for two years more at the shortest
ana his friends confident that the years to

organization of hundred thousand Republican
votes is to be considered. He may stumble and
slip in climbing up the political hill but if he
keeps on good terms with his twenty-one district
leaders in Brooklyn he is to all right
IN the end. The Kings County Republicans send
almost twice as many members of their party TO
the Legislature as go from NewYork and
party in Brooklyn seems to be growing a little
stronger all the time; while the other hand the

more firmly fixed than ever. Mr.. Woodruff's po-

age

Broadway ever do bowl, and II was getting
further and further away from the money. One
or two of the passengers were about to jump of
the car, but then they thought better of II and
turned their gaze anXiously on the young woman
who was hunting frantically through her purse
for the excited passengers TO bear longer. the
fair thrower looked up smilingly al her companion
and muTmured sweetly:

AS a preliminary Mr.. Onderdonk organized
