THE COUNCILMAN.

To serve the people then appear,
And has to bear mlny a sneer?
The Councilman.
! Who gives his time and service free.
And does his duty manlulIy,
But fails to please two ont of three:
The Councilman
Who gets at times ''particu ar fits"
When critics think his vote insists,
And on the streets is pulled to bits?
The Councilman
Who tries to keep in good repair
Throughout our town each thorOughfare
And wonders how the mud gets there?
The Councilman
Who tries to keep our taxes low,
But how to do it does not know,
Because expenses run up so?
The Councilman.
Who at the meeting always fights
Ger what Is called the peoples rights"
With railroads OF electric lights?
The Councilman
Who Oft is called city dad,
And Oft within himself is sad
Because his children" are so bad"
The Councilman.
Who treless as the o,eaA's foam
To council meeting has to roam,
While GROWERS set at ease at home"
he Councilman.
Who may not perhaps, be over bright,
But tries to do the thing that's right
Term ended; drops can out OF sight?
The Councilman
VINO, when his days on earth are spent
The people do not long lament

An Important Movement for Good Roads
An important measure in the matter
of road improvement has been intro
duced in the Maryland House of Dele
gates by Hon. Ashley NJ. Gould, of
Montgomery county. Itprovides that
the work of investigation into meth
DDS of road making in the State be
part of the work of the State Geolog-
zeal Survey Commission. The bill
meets the appreciation of the Mary
land l.. a. W., an organization ever
on the alert in the contention for bet
ter roads, and is accepted by them in
lieu of the bills for State engineer
ing department., etc.
The principle provisions of the pro
posed measure are that the commits
sion authorized ito make provision
for the Investigation of the question
OF road construction in Maryland; to
appoint under the direction of the
superintendent of the survey such as
sistants and other employees as they
shall deem necessary, and the said
commission shall also determine the
compensation of all persons employed
and may remove them at pleasure;
that the said commission shall see that
proper investigation is made of the
condition of the roads in this State
and of the best means of improving
the same, together with the study of
the classification and distribution of
road building materials in the several
counties; that the said commission
shall see that report upon the state
of the roads and the best means of
improving, constructing and main
tanning the same with estimates of
costs, expenses, etc, be submitted at
the next session of the Legislature:
and that special reports be prepared
at such times as they are deemed nee
essary; that the sum of ten thousand
dollars annually or so much thereof
as may be necessary and the same is
hereby appropriated out of any money
in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of this act"
The bill was referred to the WAYS
and means committee.

A FIGHT WITH
SPANISH SPIES.
They Were Trying to Get at a Key
West Mortar Battery.

KEY WEST, FLA. May PA sergeant
or artillery on duty at a mortar battery
near Fort Taylor was fired upon early
this morning by three unknown men
whom he says he knows 20 be Spaniards.
The fire was promptly returned but the
men escaped.

deal OF mystery, began yesterday even
ing. when three swarthy men made an
attempt to enter tho gate OF the reserya-
tion. but were summarily turned OFF by
the sentry.

No further attention was given 10 the
incident until last night when. between
10 and IL o'clock, the sergeant OF the
artillery guard, near the mortar battery
discovered the figures Of three men a
few yards ahead Of him. Almost simul-
taneously with the discovery they opened
fire upon him with pistols. Three bullets
whlzzed past the sergeant, but a fourth
lodged In the feshy part OF his left arm
lust above the elbow. The sergeant
dropped his raised rife and as he did
so and before be could raise his rifle
again the men turned and fled out OF
range. lie sent several shots after them
and then vent for the guard.
FIRED AT THEM.
A sharp lookout was kept for the
strangers and soon after midnight
suspicious noise was heard outside the
gate near which the mortar battery Is
located. An investigation resulted IN
the discovery OF a carriage just outside
the gate. The sergeant gave orders TO
fire and q yOlley was sent at the We
hicIe. a moment later II appears three
men were seen running up the street ana
the fire OF the soldiers was directed upon
them, but without effect, the suspects
escaping apparently unharmed.
The sergeant declareh that on the oc-
casion OF tho last visit OF the strangers

looking package about three feet long
