OUR ARMY or THE DEAD.

Not with air OF martial vigor. nor with steady
soldier tramp,
Come they crandly marching to US - for The boys
are all in camp.
With forgetfnlness upon teach within his
earthly bed.
Waiting for his marching orders~is our Army
Of the Dead!
asleep the boys are lying. In their low and
narrow tents.
Aud no battle cry can wake them. and no orders
call them hence.
And the warnings OF the mother aud anguish Of
the wife,,
Can not; with their magic presence. call the
soldier back to life"
"When the years Of life are over and the cares
OF earth are done;
When the reign OF time Is ended and eternity
begun:
When the thunders OF Omniscience on our
Weakened senses roll,
And the sky above shall witller aud he gathered
like n scroll;
When. among the lofty mountains and across
the mighty sea.
The sublime celestial bugier shall ring out the
~reveilie.
Then shall march. with brightest laurels. and
proud. victorious tread.
To their STATEN up In heaven, orr Grand Army
Of the Dead!'

BOOKMAKER PUNCHED
Jack Barnett Gives a Black Eye
to Joe English.
CHARGED He Was Being Swindled

Barnett Was Formerly John l.. Sui
livan's Manager.

Bookmaker Joe English has the big
eest and blackest black eye this morn

English had been making a hand

Then English moved over to Beaver
street and passed part OF the time In
the Hoffman Restaurant and part in a
saloon az Beaver and New streets. The
brokers Of the Maritime and Produce
exchanges made bets with him daily.
Jack Barnett, who was manager OF
John L. Sullivan for several years. made
a bet with English, and the horse he
bet on won. What horse Barnett bet on
the brokers about the Exchange do not
know. and they are not sure whether It
was yesterday or on Handicap day, but
they say English appeared yesterday af.
ternoon with an eye that was marvel
in blackness.
There was a story In circulation this
morning. that English had gone to
Cusack,s saloon and had been brutally
report is probably untrue. Cusack We
hemently denied this morning that the

says the true story Is that Barnett went
hunting for English, and finding him in
front Of the Hoffman. which Is directly
across the way from the Produce Ex-
change, demanded his money, English
refused, saying ne had no record OF the
wager. Barnett then struck the book
maker In the eye and man who was
with him also struck English. The two
punched the bookmaker until bystanders
interfered.
English is about forty-two years old
