The new Excise Board of this city
will meet on next Tuesday evening to act
upon license applications. The law is
plain as to the granting of licenses to those
who have been convicted for selling illcg-
ally, and the thin subterfuge of applying
in wife's or sou,in.law's name, de-
ceives nobody. These people have de-
family sold liquor the past year and should
be taught that they are not above obedience
to the law. The two men who deserve
license, If license is to be given, are AL
bert s. Closson and Charles Regain. These
men showed respect for law and closed
their places when license was refused,
and their course stands out in marked
contrast to people great deal more pre-
tentious, who have become self-confessed
law breakers.

The "Arbor Day" exercises at the
High School in this city, last Friday,
were exceedingly interesting and the
singing was excellent both as to the Sc
lections and the spirited manner in which
the children sang them. The closing
number of the program was the planting
of the tree, on the school campus, and
the scholars appeared to enjoy it fully as
well as the spectators.
The exercises throughout would have
well repaid walk up the hlll-school
stairs on the part of the parents and 9TH
ersDwho should have been interested.
AS it was, the attendance was small, no
doubt large numbers being deferred by
the dread of the tiresome and dangerous
trip up the long flight of steps. This be-
ing so, isn't it an outrage to compel chill
dren-many OF them in delicate health
to trudge through the storms and heat
and cold up those terrible steps2

The Daily Democrat, of Doylestown,
says that it is not likely that any games
will be played between the Lambertville
and Doyestown clubs. The two clubs
became involved in quarrel last year,
and for this reason it is doubtful il any
games will be arranged. -Erchdnge
If base b ii players cannot get along
without wranging constantly, they had
better "shut up shop" II they would
get it into their heads that "playing geu-
tieman goes nicely with playing ball,
it would add considerably to the attrac-
tiveness of the game, and block the grow
ing disgust which the better class of pco-
pie have begun to feel at the wranging
that seems to have become part of the
game. If this disposition of the various
members OF clubs to umpire the game
and quarrel with the umpire and every one
else, is not speedily corrected, the clubs
may look for large decrease 10 the at
tendance at the ball grounds.

Az - HoOfN"fy So AoSus
Here on this fair and hallowed spot
Once noble heroes trod,
Their forms have vanished into dust,
Their spirits rest with God.
Upon this hill where peace now dwells,
Safe on these tranquil slopes,
In days long past, in dire distress,
Hung all the nations hopes.
This ground once trembled with the tread
Ofpatriots marching by.
In freedoms cause they suffered want,
Nor feared for her to die.
These guns that once with thunder shook
The pulses OF the land,
Now, Keeping watch like sentries grim,
In silence, waiting stand.
Here dwelt fair Freedoms peerless son,
Great leader of the free,
The father of our native land,
Hero Of Liberty.
At rest his valiant armies lie,
At rest, with glory crowned
All freedoms hosts now follow him,
His fame their praises sound.
Ye pilgrims to this sacred shrine
Who come from far and near,
B ehold these relics of the past
That we have gathered here.
These blood-stained arms, these faded flags.
These drums that throb no more,
That did brave service for the right
In many a conflict sore;
These writings worn and dim with age,
That tell of liberty
Wrecked fragments cast upon the shore
OF times tempestuous sea-
Think you that freedom too Is dead
Like her mem ent os here?
Then let each freeman blush with shame
And for his country fear.
Before the lightning Of her wrath
Her flying foe still yield
Still the oppressed a refuge find
Beneath her mighty shield.
Immortal freedom is not dead,
But living as of old
A curse still waits to blight his name
Who sells one right for gold.
Forget not those who bled for us,
But true to freedom stand;
Remember, God is freedoms God
And this is freedoms land.

-Bazel, the big elephant with Serb.
ner & Smiths circus, which exhibited here
on Monday of last week, did not appear a
bit excited, and one would think him
capable of kicking up a big fuss about
nothing. But that is just what he did in
the big city of New York week ago
Sunday night. The past winter he was
quartercd in Central Pork, and on Sun
day evening of week before last he was
taken from the Park and started on his
way to Frenchtown, where he was TO join
the circus. While going down Fifth ave-
nue. he made up his mind to return to the
Park, and throwing up his trunk, he Wild
ly dashed at full speed up the broad ave-
nue. and turned into the Park at 59lh
street, not coming to halt until be
reached the door of his winter quarters.
Tramps and other loungers on the Park
benches made a basty retreat when they
saw the giant form of Bazel approaching.
After little coaxing, Baze was again
started on his journey, and this time no
trouble arose.
