Thirst for Cider Reunites
Sisters, Separated 40 Years

The desire of Irving Bremerman,
421 Randolph street northwest. for a
drink of cider brought about a meet
ing between his mother. Mrs. Charles
Bremerman, and her sister. Mrs.
Charles L. Stoneburne Of Falls
Church, last Sunday. after each had
! believed the other dead for more than
forty years.
Monday a week ago. Bremerman
was motoring in Virginia and stopped
before a sign that said sweet Cider
for Sale" The vender Of the drink
had all the earmarks of a Virginian,
which caused Bremerman to SO re-
mark.
"Where are you from? he asked.
Mount Jackson he replied.
My mothers home used to be
there" continued Bremerman.
What was your mothers maiden
name?" the cider merchant ques-
toned.
"Branham.'
why that was my wife'S name
before she was married"
And 1T developed that nephew and
uncle brought the long-separated
sisters together. Last Sunday
Bremerman took his mother out to
the Stoneburne home on the edge of
Falls Church. where happy re-
union was held.
Inquiry from Mrs. Stoneburne as
to her sisters movements after she
left home developed that the latter
came to Washington and occupied
the position of a private nurse until
she was twenty-four years old. Then
she married Charles Bremerman of
Frederick county. Nd. and the two

PURELY A KENDRICK MEETING
(Cheyenne Tribune)

(CneVenne Irlbune)
When fully analysed the merest tyro in the political game
will admit that the Douglas meeting was a Kendrick affair. The
senator's henchmen were on the ground to see that it did not get
away from him and they did their work remarkably well. There
is not, according to reports a single name endorsed by the meet
ing that is tainted by any brand of political action save Dem
ocracy, except that of former Chief Justice Groesbeck, and his
nomination is presumed to be entirely non partisan in character.
II his nomination had interfered in any manner with the nomina-
ton OF Judge lldball, it is more than probable that he would
have been relegated to the discard along with MI. Mcdowell of
Fremont county, Judge Groesbeck has not been an avowed Re
publican for many years. He has been a c candidate on the Socialist
ticket several times since leaving the Republican party and has
never indicated that he intended to spouse its principles since
that time. He was permitted to remain as the choice of the Doug
las gathering simply because he was not in the way of anyone and
