A NEW POET.
Dr.. S. Weir Mitohen's Flattering Com
ments on Charles Leonard Moore.

ments on Charles Leonard Moore.
DR.. S. Weir Mitchell, in the June Forunl, thus
speaks of the poet, Charles Leonard Moore:-
quite lately an accident threw in my way a
little book which has given me much happiness,
and now hasten in the youth of my delight to
share my pleasure with others, was waiting in
a twilight room the return of friend, when, by
good luck, 1 picked up the nearest book. l
opened it at sonnet of Shakespearean form,
apparently upon Courage Since then have
read the little volume with care. 1t is called
DAY Dreams: Century of Sonnets, by Charles
Leonard Moore, privately printed at Philadel-
phia in 1888. Without the least indecision claim
for it the serious attention OF all who love verse.
If there be one thing which most eXasperates
the student of recent poetry 1t is the alb
sence of thought. There is no such lack
in this Century of Sonnets.' Here is
a distinct and individual singer. The reader
who cares enough for true poetry must judge
for himself, as larger world will in future, as
to whether l am justified in my belief that we
have had here to deal with poet who may not
be as lightly dismissed the countless small
singers who feeby chirp in the hospitable little
bird houses left in the magazines at the foot of
the page. where the prose gave out and there
was space Tor padding. regret that Mr.. Moore
has not published these sonnets. Private circu-
lation gives no chance for large critical judg
ment His reasons for choosing to avoid the
larger public l do not know. OF this however,
am quite sure, that there is no publisher in
America today who will venture to take
any publication risks on volume of verse. and
this may have influenced the decision regret. l
know the author only by his book; have never
seen him. What have here said is so said from
my eager desire to do justice TO literary quail
ties which should have a ready and generous
welcome. Indeed, l count it among the glad
things of life to have been able for once to repay
the pleasure a work OF genius has given me, by
introducing it to wider world. This is q rare
thing to fall upon, and few of the happier
chances of life have better pleased me. -
The following poem from the June Forum is a
specimen of Mr.. Moore's poetic work.
To Fortune.
man
Walked and won only by thy slight allure.
Know that thy footstep seals those founts again
That else were free, that else were full and pure:
Thou hast Life's keys, and dost command sue
CESS
Success, poor shadow of the soul of hope;
But all thy gain is present weariness
And the gods laughter from their unscaled
slope
Co. harlot, with thy faces of regard,
Wud-varyng for the lovers at thy side
/ am not poor enough for thy reward
Honor and splendor in my heart abide;
l want thee not, save that thou kneel and so
Proffer thy service as cup-bearers do.

WANSER'S OBSTINACY.
Going Back Into the Past 10 Pile
Up Law Suits Against
the City.

Mayor Wanser, acting upon the advice
of Counsellor Spencer Wearts, his Secre-
tary has decided to stop payment. if pos
sible, upon the warrants aggregating
81, 732. in favor of Patrick Connolly. for
placing piles under the water pipe bridge
across the Hackensack River. The work
was begun last summer, but was
not finished until late in the fall.
From time to time warrants for
sums less than $500 were ordered
drawn In favor of Connolly. The condi-
ton of the water account at that time
was such that all the money received
and paid over to CITY Treasurer Cleve-
land had to be utilized in making
payments upon the interest account.
Money came in very slowly, and claims of
all descriptions emanating from the
the Water Department kept piling up.
The interest on the water bonds had to be
paid before any other claims could
be honored. Claims for stationery and
supplies piled up into thousands of dol.
lars. and with them went Connelly's,
Finally, in anticipation of the collection
of water rents and assessments,
many claims were passed. Connolly's
were included in the batch. The war
rants were ordered drawn, were signed
and ready for delivery just as soon as
there was money enough to the credit of
the water account to warrant their dis
tribution.
May or Wanser discovering the fact that
the warrants are awaiting payment, de-
termined to place check upon the move.
At the present time from four to five
thousand dollars n day are being
deposited with City Treasurer Cleveland
by Water Registrar Healy, and it was ex-
pected that all the warrants passed
would be honored this week or
next. This morning Mayor Wanser was
in consultation with Corporation Counsel
Edwards. Secretary Weart and City
Treasurer Cleveland. The object of the
consultation was to discuss the payment
of the claims, tor which warrants have
been drawn but not distributed.
Mr.. Edwards maintained that the war
rants should be honored with the first
money received over and above
the sum sufficient to provide
for the present and next months
interest. Mayor Wanser differed from
Mr.. Edwards and in all probability Mr..
Weart will have an injunction served
upon City Treasurer Cleveland
restraining him from delivering
to Connolly and the other claimants their
warrants. 1t is highly probable if His
Honor pursues this course that Connolly
will at once bring suit against the city
for the recov cry of the amount due him,

Boys at Snake Hill Aims
house.

Patrolman O'Brien of Union Hill yes

time, in silence. One day last week
when he was unusually severe they COM
planned to one of the Freeholders. May
pother learned of this, and at night when
they were in bed whipped them cruelty.
They then determined to run away. BY
way Of proving the truth of their story.
they exhibited their bodies to the Re-
corder. Maloney's body was one mass of
cuts and bruises, while the other boys
were slightly marked. The youngsters
begged the Recorder not to send them
back to Snake Hill.
Upon the arrival of Keeper Stewart,
Recorder Hauenstein informed him of
the statement made by the lads and of the
condition of their bodies. He seemed very
much surprised to learn of their ILL
treatment. and asked them why the
did not complain to the Warden, or so me
of the keepers. They said they were
afraid to do SO. Stewart removed the
lads. but promised to bring their COM
plant to the notice of the Warden.

One of the inevitable incidents of
modern merchandising is the annual
January Bargain Sale. 1t is expected
of US, therefore comes. This is one
reason; another is found in the fact
that stock on the shelves has no
value. 1t must get out into the chan
nels of trade. An article that costs
us a dollar is not worth a dollar, to
say nothing of the profit margin,
until it gets into the hands Of the
customer. If it will not go at that
price, then, if necessary, 50 cents
must move it. Half price-and less
in many cases-is the way we have
marked goods in all departments.
Odds and ends in various kinds of
goods can now be secured at lower
prices than ever quoted before. Here
