Philadelphia, Oct. 19.-Next to the
election of officers the question which
excited the greatest interest at yes

elected: Commander-in-ch Lieu
tenant General John NJ Schofield;
senior vice commander, Lieutenant
Charles P. Clark, U. S. N, Connecticut;
junior vice commander, Brigadier Cen

GRAVE AND GAY

When fishin' time comes roun'!
Sometimes I wish was a man,
Like dad an Uncle Bill,
An could do the things they can,
Like smoke, an 60 to mill,
An chew terbaeker at the store,
Or ride the colt to town,
But that you see, is all before.
Trout fishin' times comes roun'.
Sometimes I think I'd like to be
A soldier man, an 60
A-sailin' right across the sea
To fight the ''hated foe!"
Or else a p'liceman, dressed in blue,
An jes' look big an frown;
l wonder, tho, what p'licemen do
When fishin'- time comes rom!
Sometimes I wish-but I don't b'lieve
I'd like to be the men
Along in June, for they can't leave
The farm a minute then;
An even Uncle Bill must stay
An plant an hoe the groun';
But me an Tige, we runs away
When fishin' time comes roun'!
Sometimes I wish was King,
With gold an lands 50 wide;
But that amt never in the spring,
Cause then Pm satisfied.
For, though there's lots I'd like to be,
From King to circus clown,
guess I'd rather be jes' me

RULES FOR EXCURSIONIsTS.

wv AIS SAS w.
BY the observance Of the following
plain, simple rules during the sail to
Coney Island, Rockaway Beach, Long
Branch and other excursion resorts the
comfort and enjoyment OF all on board
the boat may be much enhanced:
Q) Every passenger is entitled to
three camp stools: one tosit upon, one
for his feet; and one for his parcels.
(2) Take your camp stools where you
can find them. II you see one in front
OF a woman, say, "Is this engaged?" and
pull it away before SHE can reply. 1t
doesn't belong to her, anyhow.
(8 Always seat yourself in front OF
doorway or at the foot Of stairway.
Should this incommode other people,
let them find some other passage or
wait for the next boat.
az Smoke pipe; the salt cir spoils
the flavor Of cigar, and pipe gives
forth more smoke. and the sparks and
ashes will fly about and amuse you.
(5) Order beer at intervals, and in
variably argue with the waiter about
the amount OF froth. This will show
that you know all about beer, and will
save your tip to the waiter, who will
probably walk away, swearing to him.
SELF
49, Never give any money to the
bandmaster; say that you paid going up
or going down, as the case may be, or
tell him that the music is no good.
(7) Sing or-better still-whistle ell
the tunes the band plays. Everybody
near you will thus be impressed with
your musical taste and skill, and will lie
able to identify the tunes.
10y Whenever q garbage scow lie in
sight point It out, and call attention to
the unpleasant odor, 90 that you may
demonstrate your superiority to the
Health Officer of the Port.
(9) Call out the names of the forts
and places ss you pass them-Fort
Hamilton, Fort Lafayette. Staten Island.
Sandy Hook and 90 on. Many psssen-
gers do not know these names; but you
are no country jay; you are q Now
Yorker, and know everything.
10) When baby cries, Say, "Oh.
chuck that brat overboardI" This will
quiet the child and please tho mother,
and. az rule. the father is not On board.
(11) Always push and crowd people
when leaving the boat; they ought to
let you get of tirst.-Town Topics.
