the difference in the number Of men

decrease Of $1,000 is due to a more

TERM HAD A QUEER ORIGIN.
How a Quarter of IL Dollar Came to BE
known as 1.-TWO Bits
The .Thrip."

did you ever hear the expression two
bits used as an equivalent for a quar-
ter of a dollar?" asked a New Yorker of
a reporter for the New York Mail and
Express. The term is commonly used
in the south and west. Not one person in
/ 900 even of those who habitually use
the term knows its origin.
Even as late as the close of the
eighteenth century the silver coinage OF
the United States had not superseded
the Spanish 'milled' dollar in the west
and south. Fractional currency was
particularly scarce and to obtain this
the Spanish 'milled' dollar was cut up to
make change, Halves and quarters, oil
course, suggested their own names, but
when the quarters were cut in two the
word eighth was discarded for bit q

elugs in their possession, although, OF
course, they have long since gone out OF
use as currency.

Two English and two French Observers

The results of these observations have

Tonight, unless all signs fail, a
strong Republican club will be organ
lied and launched out into the present
campaign with q boom that is intend
ed to carry it successfully through the
entire W inter and many future cam
paigns. 1t is a movement in the right
direction. The Republicans of this
vicinity have too long been split into
factions, one following II leader and
one another, all claiming to be labor
ing for the best interests of the party,
yet, by their very actions, doing all
in theil power to bring about Repub-
lican Cfeat. Thorough organization,
in Which the party will be united, is
the{ only hope for the Republicans in
Perth Amboy and it looks as if this is
what they are going to accomplish
tonight. Success largely depends upon
tie effort to keep or or the other Of
tke factions from showing itself.
