HILL TALKS FOR HARMONY.
Birthday of Thomas Jefferson Cele-
brated BY Democratic Club.

New York, April 1.-THE members OF the
Democratic Club tonight commemorated
the birthday of Thomas Jefferson with a
reception at the clubhouse. 1t was looked
upon among the Democrats OF the city and
State as a harmony meeting.
David B. Hill. who had not visited tho
club for many years. was the chief orator
Of the evening, and, In his speech, he called
upon Democrats to unite in harmony. Perry
Belmont, whose differences with Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Croker have kept him away from
the club for three years, was also there.
Lewis Nixon, the new leader or Tam
many Hall, introduced Mr.. HILL In the
course of his speech, Mr.. Hill said:
why should there be factional quarrels
over details, when We are all united upon
essentials?
1T Is the part Of wisdom for tie Democ-
racy to push to the front the Issues upon
which there is substantial unan1mity, end
ignore those in regard to which there are
such serious and honest differences OF cpin-
ion as must be fatal to practical success
In conclusion, Mr.. Hill said:
.Fellow Democrats. on this day devoted
to honoring the memory or one who has
been frequently styled the wisest and tru-
est Democrat OF his times let US resolve TO
renew our allegiance to the principles which
he inculcated and the policies which he ad-
vocated. g.
"Our opponents have only succeeded In
recent years by unfortunate divisions among
ourselves. Let our faces now be toward
the common enemy"

SUIT RECALLS THE "PIG CASE"
Mrs. Byrns Employs Attorney Who
OnnOsed Her.

The famous Carondelet pig case was
recalled by the suit Of Mrs. Mary Byrns
against the McCulley Stonemason Company
and others for boarding men and rent of a
stable. which was recently tried in Justice
Zimmerman's court. No. 2735 South Broad
way.
Mrs. Byrns was defendant in the pig case.
She was sued by a neighbor for possession
of a pig valued at $3.50. The case was be-
gun in Justice Zimmerman's court. and was
appealed to the Circuit Court. By the time
the case was finished the costs amounted
to over SlO0. Mrs. Byrns won the case in
the Circuit Court. but the pig, It Is stated,
died.
The pig was a remarkable one, being de-
formed. His tongue hung out of the side
of his mouth. Mrs. Byrns claimed that she
lost the pig and found him at her neigh
boris place. The neighbor claimed that he
obtained the pig from a relative. Each
side had two attorneys. and the case was
bitterly fought.
A peculiar feature of the recent suit Is
that Mrs. Byrns was represented by Attor-
ney Patrick Leahy, who was the leading
counsel against her In the pig case.
She was indignant at him for opposing
her In the pig case. Mr.. Leahy explained.
however, that 1T was a business matter, and
they became friends again. He told her
that he would work just as hard In her in
terest as he had against her. He obtained
a verdict Of $2 in her favor.
