THE MORRIS GUARDS
ORDERED TO SEA G|RT.
Farewell Receptions given in
Their Honor.
SPEECHES AlDE BY PROMINENT CITIZENS
THEY LEFT ATLANTIC CITY BY SPECIAL
TRAIN, YESTERDAY SEVERAL YOUNG
MEN OF PLEAsANTvLLE IN THE
RANKS.

The stern realities ofwar were brought
to notice. yesterday, when the Morris
Guards Volunteers, of Atlantic City, left
for the State rendezvous at Sea Girt
where they will go into camp and be
drilled, previous to their departure to
the front if needed. On the muster-rolls
of the Guards will be found the names
of many of the best young men of Attain
tic City-young men of brains, enterprise
and business capacity. To many Of
them military service means not only an
absence from home and the severing of
home ties, but the breaking up, or the
plrtial loss OF business. Add to this,
the chances of sickness wounds aud
death. and the hardships of the cam
paign and battlefield, and we can then
partly estimate the sacrifices these
young men are willing to make in be-
half of their country. Originally the
Morris Guards was q private military
company founded and materially assisted
by Col. Morris whose name it bears. 1t
has made an enviable record for gentle
manly conduct, good discipline among
the military organizations of the State.
A short time ago it volunteered it's
services for war and has been assigned
to the Fourth Regiment of Volunteers.
Orders werereceived on Sunday from Ad-
justant General Stryker to proceed to Sea
Girton Tuesday and active preparations
have been made to have everything in
readiness. The citiz3ns of Atlantic City
gave the Company grand reception on
| the new Steel Pier Monday evening, at
which patriotic a1dresses were made by
prominent speakers -and the big audi
ence aroused by the thrilling recitation
of "The Star Spangled Banner" by Mr..
Charles B. Hanford, of Washington d.
G.
On Tuesday the Company took its
| final departure from the Afmory escort
ed by the Joe Hooker Post G. A. r. and
other military and civic organizations
led by the splendid First Regiment Band
Of Philadelphia. An immense crowd
turned out to see the boys off, and they
were heartily cheered and applauded all
along the line OF march. At the depot
there were tears and sobs and heart.
breaking farewells. from friends and
loved ones, aud not few sympathetic
tears from many who had no relatives
| in the ranks.
Although the Morris Guards hail from
AtIantic City, and the Company was
originally composed of Atlantic City
men, it Is not so now. When the muster

Committee Meeting.

The Asylum Committee held it's regu-
lar session on Thursday last and con-
sidt red business of Importance to the
Institution. The question of enlarging
it's capacity was seriously considered
because of it's present crowded condi-
ton tie male department being full
and any further commitments would
neccessitate sending them to Trenton.
This matter will be presented to the
Board of Freeholders at their meeting
to-day "wednesday July 18th and
some steps taken to adjust the matter.
A contract was given to VIM. Ell. Berns-
house for one hundred and twenty-five
tons of coal for the annual supply OF
both institutions. A contract was
given to E. p. Henry to continue the
stone coping in front of the Almshouse
Building which will improve the whole
property. Beside the full COMMITTEES
there were present Miss Mabel Jeffries,
Mr.. Levi AIbertson, DIR. C. S. Pott and
Mr.. Harry Beadle of Detroit Mich.

of the garrison and the dog-fat man
who Immediately sent to the Fourth
Ward for Sam. Kelley to order up the
reserves. Sam told the fireman to hold
the fort, and said the Supreme Court
had decided that the Sanitary Commit
tee of the Council had full control of the
premises. He contented that the Mayor
and Chief of Police were tresspassers
from legal standpoint and had no
more right to give orders than the King
of the Canniysl Islands. Both sides have
rejected peace overtures, utgreat hopes
are entertained by all orderly citizens that
the Pope of Rome will be able to devise
some pI OPPOSITION that will be mutually
satisfactory to both sides. The Pope's
acknowledged influence, together with
the cooperation of the European powers
will, ii is believed, be strong enough to
prevent recurrence of hostilities.
The Morris Guards have been ordered
to Camp at Sea Girt and left on Tuesday
by special train. This ought to put an
end to the cheap talk and cheaper filings
OfsOme of our stay-at-hOme patriots
who would be found in Canada in
twenty-fOur hours if draft should be
ordered. The members of the Morris
Guards are gentlemen, and because they
are gentlemen, and dress-well, and be-
have like gentlemen they have been
made the butt of a lot of halfrespectable
loafers who have derided them as "tin
soldiers" Then there is another lot of
so-called business men who would want
the whole Army and Navy Of the United
States to protect them if the City was in
danger of bombardment or invasion,
but who are too mean to chip in a dol
lar to keep a military Company in ex-
istence. l submit that these men, and
all Others who are too cowardIy to
shoulder musket, should now shut their
mouths about the Morris Guards and
keep them shut the balance of their
lives. As for the Guards, God be with
them and keep them. ARGUS,
