Leaders Of the Republican organiza-
tlon on the other hand believe that the
voters will not support a candidate OF
Tammany Hall. when the penalty
would be four years of "Tammany
rule" Because of this feeling as a
boyle they believe there is an excellent
chance of electing an antl-Tammany
candidate, possibly on a straight Re-
publican ticket rather than on one of
the hybrid fusion affairs which hereto
fore have been the only successful
means Of breaking down Tammany
power.
They also figure that, IL the first part
Of the calculations are we'll founded,
with a four year term the anti-Tam-
many mayor would be able to demon
strate fully his advantages over Tam
many rule and that this would break
effectualy the power of the Four
teenth street organization.
SO the strange spectacle is presented
of both organizations being satisfied
with the situation, and one of the
| livelest municipal campaigns in New
| York's history soon will be we'll under
way. AS yet there is no indication as
to who will be the Republican candi-
date or the anti-Tammany candidate.
| Mormon plans for the building of a
temple In Harlem have been aban-
doned, and after a bitter contest the
| representatives of the Latter Day
Saints, it is believed have given up all
hope of establishing themselves in that
section of New York. First, their
missionaries We're denied the privilege
of holding services in the streets, and
then 1t was announced that the church
had sold the property purchased by it
last December for the purpose Of To-
eating a temple. to the great indigna-
tion of all Harlem.
The property in question was not
sufficient for the purpose of the Nor
mons and they wanted the lot adioin-
ing. The owner of this lot, and later
his heirs, fought oEs the possibility of
Mormon purchase so long and placed
the price of the property so high that
finally the Mormons gave up in dis
gust and sold out the property which
they had at first secured. 1t was
strange proceeding which blocked
the Mormons from securing the privi-
lege to preach in the streets, because,
while this privilege was denied the
Mormons, it was given freely to the
Dowieites, and to many other sects
strange to the average person.
The increasing number of women
lawyers is having it's effect in making
the dingy old courtrooms of the county
court house more interesting and at
tractive. Part one, special term, where
litigated motions are heard, is particu-
larly favored Scattered among the
motley collection of lawyers, famous
and otherwise, one sees nowadays a
sparkle of color, like flower in field
of weeds.
Inspection discloses that the red or
yellow in the dull background of frock
coats is due to the presence of
woman, who, if the observers patience
holds out, will, before court adjourns,
be heard arguing her motion with at
least as much skill as her male oppo-
nent shows. But, to the old-timer, it is
always a shock to find himself opposed

nodding plumes of her hat and the
swish of her skirts are disconcerting.
The average woman lawyer seems to
be small, pretty and specialized.
A luxurious hospital for dogs and
cats is the latest thing evolved from
metropolitan life. 1t is located on Long
Island is known as the "Bide-a-Wee
Home for Animals" and it's occupancy
is not restricted to rich, aristocratic
dogs and cats either. 1t is a home for
homeless" dogs and cats, and no lone
pup or tabby. on applying for admis-
sion, will have to produce family tree
or show blue or red ribbon.
The door is open for all, and the
place is proving to "ill a long felt
want" on the part of the cats and dogs
of great city. 1t is supported by pri-
vate charity, and homes are found for
many of the animals given refuge.
Others are sent to a long, last home,
where tin pals are not tied to dogs
tails and where cats are not molested
with bootjacks thrown from back
windows.
