COLLEEN DHAS.

As / roamed out one morning -~
The stars were in the sky, ,3S
But chanticleer his warning
Had flung ii low and high.
The little birds were talking,
The mountains yet We're gray,
When Colleen Dhas came walking
At dawning OF the day.
H,I feet outvied the dalsies,
Her hair outshone the sun,
Her beauty, like the Graces,
Did join all sweets In one;
Her eyes like twin stars married,
Her breath of newmown hay;
A milking pail she carried
At dawning Of the day.
"Now, are you tender Hebe,
Or maybe Juno bright
Your name il might be Phoebe,
That robs the sun Of light,
Or are you lovely Venus,
That close beside me stray,
With the milking pail between Us
At dawning Of the day 2"
Young man." she said, don't fatter.
Your glance is bold and free.
No stranger 3 praise viii mStter
To virtuous maids ike me.
Pray go where you were going;
take the other way"
And hear my crummy lowing
At dawning Of the day.
Upon a bench of rushss
Alone sat and heard
Her voice outsing the thrushes
And every Weakening bird;
heard the sweet milk squirting,
The hedge between us lay,
And longed that we were courting
At dawning Of the day.

said the ordinance had been placed on his
desk but he had not been informed re-
garding 1t.
Councilman Connolly said that he be-
lieved this ordinance was drawn sup to
prevent the employment of men other
than citizens In Evergreen cemetery.
Councilman Burke stated tat be be-
Iieved it was the practice in every depart
ment in the city to employ citizens when
this could be done. He said that the COM
mittee of public works tried to do this
and if any city department did not then
the matter should be Investigated and If
deemed wise the ordinance now under
consideration should then perhaps be
passed but not until 1t had been investi-
gated little.
After some further discussion the ordi.
nance was tabled. An order covering
about the same ground was also tabled.
All orders and other matters introduced
in the upper board were passed with the
exception of the order transferring $500
from the appropriation for Deering Oaks
special to the contingent fund.
Whom this order came up an aye and
nay vote was taken and resulted in IL
yeas and 8 nays.
President Gerrish declared the order to
have had passage.
Councilman Cloudy took exceptions to
this decision and said that it required a
two-thirds vote to pass an order OF this
kind.
President Gerrish decided again that
the order had been passed
Mr. Cloudy called the attention of the
president to the fact that the rules and
thirds vote Of all members to pass an
order of this kind and that the order
should have had vote of at least four
teen years to have O passage.
President Gerrish said that he had been
mistaken and that the order had been
honoured in and was still before the
council.
aldermen to appoint committee Of con.
ference on this matter and some discussion
was thus brought about.
Councilman Milliken called the atten-
tiop of the council to the fact that they
had just voted to appropriate $500 for the
relief of soldiers families and that this
appropriation had been charged to the
contingent fund. He also showed the
council by the city auditors report that
the contingent fund had been overdrawn
to the amount OF something over
thousand dollars. Outstanding bills
against the city must be paid some how
and unless the $4,000 was transferred to
the contingent these bills could not be
maid and the $500 appropriation for the
Soldiers could not be used.
Councilman Phillips said that he had
voted no on the transfer because he did
not believe in transferring sums of money

nlanation. He said he was willing to vote

that the council made e stano On + ynis

be transferred to the contingent from the
Deering Oaks special appropriation, but
would vote no more than this.
Councilman Chase said he did not De-

1t was finally voted to reconsider the
first vote on the order of transfer. Ihls
was done and the second vote stood II
yeas and nays.
The order having been non-ooncurred
in the council voted to ask the upper
board for committee of conference on
this matter, but the city messenger stated
that the board of aldermen had adjourned
without notifying the council of its inten-
tion.
This was very discourteous way of
treating the city council SO the members
of that body decided and they were very
angry about tho action Of the board Of
aldermen. President Gerrish appointed
his COMMITTEES of conference consisting OF
Councilman. Milliken, Johnson and Dris-
coll. The council having taken this
action then adjourned. '*
During the evening Councilman
Waldron stated that he believed 1t wise
that the two branches of the city council
should have joint convention and go In.
to committee Of the whole to consider
certain matters.
Councilman Driscoll said he did not see
why such convention should be asked
for, and before he voted on this matter
asked Mr.. Waldron to explain why he
wanted the committee of the whole.
Councilman Waldron explained that an
order to grade tho lot on Chestnut street
had been laid on the table in the council
and was still on the table. 1t had not
been acted upon and Mr. Waldron said
that the $500 appropriated In that order
were not yet available. Notwithstanding
this fact the committee on unimproved
real estate or some members OF 1T had Or
dered the lot to be graded and the work
is now completed or nearly completed. he
did not believe in this kind OF business
The common council had been ignored by
the board of aldermen and he wished to
know what they meant by going ahead
and spending money which had not feen
appropriated. Mr.. Waldron's motion for
joint convention was lost
The order appropriating money to grade
the Chestnut street lot is still on the table
in the common council and no money has
as yeu been appropriated to pay for the
work which has been done there.
