STORY or ". BOURNE COCHRAN.
Reason Given for Ills Disappointing
a Mount Vernon Audience.

MOUNT VERNON, y. Y, Nos I.-Repre-
sentative W. Bourke Coclua disappointed
a Mount Vernon audience Of a thousand
who had gathered at the Orpheum Theatre
last night to hear him speak. lie was
billed to speak in White Plains and Mount
Vernon and large audiences gathered in
both places to hea him.
When former Mayor Edwin W. Fiske
opened the Mount Vernon meeting he an
nouncpd that Mr.. Cochran would first speak
at White Plains and that after Judge Frank
II. Mott Of jamestown had concluded his
speech here that he and the Judge would
leave in an automobile for the county seat
TO bring the Congressman to Mount Vernon.
America other speakers held the atten-
ton of Inc audience until IL O'Clock. when
former Judge Bennett, who presided, an
nounced that Mr.. Cochran had refused to
come to Mount Vernon. The large au-
dience filed out OF the theatre much disap-
pointed.
There was a good deal Of talk about the
matter to-day and this story was told:
When Cochran came to America he first
worked for John H. Berry, a dry goods
merchant and President of Mount Vernon.
He became a teacher and subsequently a
lawyer. Finally he removed to New York.
Things had gone badly with him in Mount
Vernon. the story tellers said, and IL was
declared that when he left the place he
took an oath that he would eve again set
foot on Mount Vernon soil.

ror sena,Or In the second District

Among the many forces operating TO bring
defeat to Mr.. Hearst is the plucky fight
being made by Dan Wallace. IA newcomer
among candidates, for the state Senator
shin OF the Second district, which includes
the normally Democratic counties Of Queens
and Richmond. Mr.. Wallace is a Brooklyn
lawyer whose home is in Wbitestone. Queens
county. and the fact that he has the largest
senate district in the State 10 cover has
only served to make his campaign more
active. He is being assisted by well known
Republicans in both counties, and there is
a strong feeling that he has moro than a
fighting chance Of keeping the district out
Of the hands Of the Hearst candidate.
Mr.. Wallace was born in Maine in 1877,
but wa- educated and prepared for COlleR"

that the Republican Congress campaigners
expected "A majority Of 81 in the next House

Myers is himself gentleman of Ep-

tiful supply of the bivalves, which
were prepared with skill and served
in an appetizing manner. The
Eagle representative acknowledges
with thanks the courtesy of an iBvi-
tation from the genial Hot Kutter"
to be present. Mr.. Myers has eX-
tended this compliment TO his EN-
ployes annually for several years.
The following toast was offered by
Mr. Joe Niece:
IT'S not TO him the world calls great
Because he rules the ship OF State,
'Tis not 10 him on history's page
The world sees III 10 call the Sage.
Nor would we drink to his good
health
Who knows not how 20 count his
wealth,
Yet toast is due at this grand
supper
Here's TO our host, the old Hot
Kutter."
And may your trade each year in
crease
And each year end IN one grand feast,
And when your race on earth Is
run
May you look back on a work well
done.

looking into a pair Of soiled socks

a couple of squares when we were

perceived the major trotting brisk

turned and marched us to the boat.
Suspecting the cause of the
stoppage, / approached MIN as

said:
"Major, was much struck with
