sented to home buyers-and selling these
homesites at prices which guarantee profits whether
you buy to build home to sell again.
Big profits
But if you want to buy investment purely,
you cannot possibly find safer place to put
your money The very fact that what Northbrae
is to be is already becoming place of costly resi-
dences is the very best guarantee OF quick profit
and permanent values.

ment. At present it is believed
there will be no need for Mr..
Gompers' services in an oratorica
sense. The Republican convention,
he asserts, ignored the demands OF
labor; the Democrats acknowl
edged them in their platform.
His course is clear; he will do
what is demanded of him in the
interests of labor best expressed in
the platform adopted at Denver.
AS the situation is at present, Mr..
Gompers efforts can be better ex-
pended elsewhere. In his inter
view with Mr.. Bryan Gompers was
attended by Frank Morrison, Sec
retary of the federation, and James
Duncan, also a labor leader.
The representatives of organized
labor and Vice Presidential Noml-
nee Kern and party reached "Bry.

Mr.. Bryan in his neglected fedora

greet them.

Sherman a Democrat Once

Utica, N. Y, June 1a.-One bit
of gossip that went the rounds to-
night concerning Congressman
Sherman's early record in matters
| political.
1t develops that Mr.. Sherman
was II Democrat until along about
1875, when, after going as a dele.
gate from Oneida county to
Democratic State convention, he
renounced the Democracy and en-
braced the tenets of Republican
lem,
All his brothers are Democrats
and one brother, Richard w. Sher-
man, completed second term as
mayor Of Utica last January.
Richard w. Sherman is one of the
Democratic leaders of Utica, while
his brother, Representative James
S. Sherman, the vice presidential
nominee, occupies the same posi-
tion in relation to the Oneida Re-
publican organization.
During Mayor Sherman's recent
administration, the matter of the
prices charged by the local ice
trust, of which Representative
Sherman is chairman, came in for
violent criticism, Mayor Sherman
leading the fight against his broth
er ,Jim's, ice monopoly aud max
ing sensational charges in return
thereto.
But all the Sherman brothers
are on the closest terms of intima-
cy and friendship with one anoth-
er. All are popular, irrespective
of their widely divergent political
beliefs.

Car Windows Broken.

Blown by terrific windstorm,
gigantic tree crashed to the
ground north of Union Furnace,
late Monday afternoon, spreading
its huge branches across the Hook
ing Valley Railroad, to be met a
few minutes later by the fast
train of the river division, rushing
towards ogan, with the result
that Ia panes of glass in the win
dows of the eight coaches-fve
"empties"-were shattered and
several passengers cut by the fiv-
ing fragments.
Engineer Chase was in charge
of the tram, which had acquired
such momentum that it could not
be stopped in time to avoid the
obstruction. The locomotive went
plowing through the encircling
branches, while the air was filed
with the sound of breaking glass
and the shrill clamor of startled
passengers Every window on
the south side of the train was
smashed into splinters. The cars
were not thrown from the track,
and the train came
through with little damage to
truck or woodwork. Injuries to
the passengers were not serious.
The train was 20 minutes be.
hind schedule going into Logan.
The sight of eight coaches with
put pane OF glass caused much
wonder.
