LOVERS LANE.

Eyes OF blue-the glance that thrills
Whispertngs of the old old tale
Moonlight wiring distant hills
With its dreamy flmy VEIL
Down the path our slow feet trend,
Our shadows with the NAPLES blend,
In our hearts the same refrain.
AS we roam through Lovers Lane.
Lovers Lane is lined with trees.
Stately naples elm and oak
And the network of their leaves
Ger the pathway spreads cloak:
But now and then a truant ray
OF saucy moonlight finds its way
Into the bower of Cupd's gain
And sees strange things in Lovers Lana
In quaint old town a maid | knew,
An artless. tair-haired maid was she:
BY those coral lips and those eyes of blue
Sweet was the spell she cast DER me;
In the dreamy nights of summer weather
Roamed we through the lane together.
Hearts throbhing fondly the old refrain
To the song Of the thrushes in Lovers Lans

literally from floor to ceiling.
Outside the railing men were packed
together like the proyerbal sardincs In
the windows, on the settees and even to

Alderman Norris OF The committee APP
pointed to make contract for the care
OF the poor OF The city, submitted the fol-
lowing report:
ELLswoRTH,:April6 8, 1896.
To the Mayor and aldermen:
Your committee selected to make a con-
tract for the support OF the poor, report
a. follows:
There were two verbal bids, one for
;3.tD0 per Year, the other -, 1919, both
made under the old contract between
Jones and the city. Your committee
made contract WITH Harry :. Jones for
-, 100 per year tor live years, and for the
follow ing reasons:
Mr.. Jones has had he care Of the poor
for the past httecn years, and has given
universal satisfaction IN every respect.
W lille there Is no doubt there are other
families that Mould do rs We'll, your com
uittee Vas led to believe there was a
great risk In making change. 1t Is we'll
known that in former year. ne city has
had much troublc III obtaining suitable
family TO care FOR the poor, and much
trouble ~as caused to the city oi'ic aIs AT
the time.
The contract with Mr.. Jones reads that
any article lost or worn out and re-
plenished by Mr.. Jones shall remain his
own property. As he has been on the
farm The past fifteen years, there are but
few articles belonging to the farm or the
farm house at he time he took the farm,
but W hat have been Worn out and re-
plenished. As he OF her bids were made
with the understanding that the farm
house should be fully furnished with all
necessary articles OF farming utensils and
all house furnishings, 1t would have cost
the city several hundred dollars II Il
change had been made.
For these reasons and several minor
reasons your committee made the con-
tract with Mr.. Jones.

in honor of the dead, heaven has
settled no prohibition, and earth is
not injured but benefited by them.
All those beautiful emblems which
adorn the many tombs around
which we love to linger assure us
we are in a world of warm and low
ing hearts; the adjoining of sepul-
chres of the "loved ones" allevi-
ates our grief and soothes the
wounded heart. 1t also cheers the
bereaved to know that an addition
al establishment of the grave pre-
SCENTS stronger attractions to arrest
the attention of the stranger, and
causes him to pause and learn the
name of one who has shared so
largely in the love OF others.

OF THE CASE.

sequent election of Robert Gerry, populist,
is that, to all appearances, the city has
two police forces-two city marshsls and
two night officers.
On the one hand are City Marshal
Thomas J. Holmes and Night Officer John
SiIvy, and on the other, Mayor Gerry's
appointees, jeremiah Hurley city
marshal and Timothy Donovan as night
officer
While as yet there has been no open
display of hostilties between the oppos-
ing police forces, each claims to be acting
with due authority, and threatens the
other with arrest if he attempts to exer-
! else I he powers of he office. Should oc-
casion arise demanding the services of the
! city marshal, interesting developments
are anticipated, but as yet nothing more
important than the harboring of a few
! tramps has required attention.
