Poets Bear Tribute TO Beaufaes Ex-
pressed in the Famous Birds Song.
Here comes a singer indeed, who has
neither equal or second. II its song
Is unknown to any who read this,
would say, wait until you hear music
solemn and yet jubilant as ever came
from a bird; voice OF transcendent
sweetness, variety, and with the su-
preme power OF impressing itself on the
very inmost fibre of our minds. and
bringing us into some mysterious SYM
pathy with things beyond our under
standing, and when you hear Il you
may know you are listening % the
nightingale
That song has been described over
and over again; poets have loved to
sing 1t, and Milton, In his "0h, nightin-
gale, that on yon blooming spray" has
with his curious and accurate felicity,
found just the word that expresses one
OF its chief charms-its Liquid notes.

Those notes of thine, they thrill and
pierce,

ed ease" hits that carelessness OF ut
terance that npremeditativenes join

1t above and beyond all bird artists.
But If | were asked what is it's best,
its most wonderful achievement,
should say 1t was the marvellous Gre

That crowds and hurries and precipi-

Indeed, do not know how the fable
of the melancholy nightingale has
crept into the minds OF men; not only
is the song exultant. but every mo-

A MEAN TRICK.
Hoboken Business Men Act
Like Babies and Stall

PILED SNOW ON TRACK
Street Blocked For Half q
Mile Company's Work
All Undone.

There was almost riot in the Fourth
Ward Hoboken, yesterday. First street,
IN that ward, is one of the most travelled
streets in the city. 1t is a narrow
thoroughfare on which many big busi-
ness houses front, and when the Jersey
City, Hoboken and Rutherford Company
sought to run a line of cars through the
street the company was over a year
getting franchise, owing to opposition
of the business men.
Since the big storm the company in
cleaning the tracks has been obliged TO
pile up the snow in front of the business
places. Yesterday the business men
combined and hired a gang of snow
shovellers of about thirty, who shovelled
the snow back on the trolley tracks maxi
ing them impossible.
Very soon there was string of stalled
trolley cars nearly one-han a mile long.
The company sent gang Of men to undo
the work of the snow shovellers em-
ployed by the business men.
Teher were several impromptu fights be-
tween the men employed by the company
and those employed by the business men,
and the police reserve was called out. At
night fall after harassing the company all
the afternoon the business men declared a
truce and the cars ran on schedule time.

is either a huge pile of slush or a deep

From Bramhal1 avenue to the Green
