publican party here ended in a split between the
two factions and Prince Cupid. with about forty
other delegates bolted from convention to form
a new party in opposition to Robert w Wilcox for

the prince, and that Wilcox will be elected 10

one and Republican papers predict that it will end
In the defeat of Wilcox in the coming election.
After the bolt of the dissatisfied ones, the regular
convention nominated Wilcox for delegate to Con-
gress and adjourned. The boilers organized a new
party which they call the non-partisan party:

naming him for Congress and of combining with

the lights and the flashing of the

With almost Incredible speed the

firing with all the speed they could

Brooklyn to proceed to the New York
navy yard, where the extent of the dam
age could be ascertained definitely.
Without a better defined idea of the
character of the injuries, naval Off
Gals were not prepared to give an
estimate of the time during which the
Brooklyn must be laid up or of the
cost of repairs, but it was thought
that the cruiser would be in dock any
where from three weeks to two
months and that the cost of the ac-
c1dent probably would total upwards
Of $50 900.
The big cruiser already had an I'M
enV1abIe record for striking snags
While the north Atlantic squadron
was lying off Cuba it struck a rock
near Guantanamo. When hardly out

Delaware river and punched a big hole

to pigeon raising. Fifteen thousand
pigeons cover the ground and the i'm

pigeons should fail. the owner of this
ranch would have in two years ,OoO.-
600 birds on his hands. Fortunately
for him the demand is greater than
the supply, and the pigeon ranch sends
out about 10000 squads year to
market The estimated output of the
ranch for the month is 1000 birds
The average price per dozen for birds
ranges from three dollars up to ten
dollars. The birds are fed three times
a day, each meal costing about five

is about twelve sacks of screenings
