There's bed on griddle that never

Prepared for the chump who encloses

There's thrice-heated chamber dug

For the fellow who writes on both

There's blistering bath in a caldron

The Pocono Ice Co. of this city, as
will be seen by advertisement in an
other column, have had both chemical
and psychological analyses made of
its ice by Prof Elwyn Wallace, Phi.
D., of Franklin Place.
Prof. Waller finds the product to be
of excellent quality and entirely
free from COMMUNICATIONS.
Thus Morristonians are given an
opportunity to provide themselves
with an absolutely pure ice, and it
must necessarily be matter of great
satisfaction to the public to know it
has commodity so vitality affecting
the health of community that is as
suredly safe and wholesome in every
respect. This is the first instance in
which chemical analyses of ice have
been presented to consumers in
Morristown, and the Pocono Co. is to
be congratulated upon its enterprise
no less than upon the excellence of
its product.

DAY MOST SACRED
ADJUTANT MCCORMICK WRITES on
MEMORIAL DAY.
Its Establishment Credited to Gem-
eral LOGan-FOr Thirty-twO Years
the Old Boys Have Marched Side
by Side to the Graves Of Their
Dead Comrades and Strewn Them
With Flowers of Love.

Some sleep beneath southern sun;
Some meath northern sky;
Some dreamless rest in oceans breast;
Some in far countries lie.
But whcresoe'er our heroes sleep
Within our hearts they live,
And bloom of spring today we bring
And to their memries give.
The credit of the establishment of a
national Memorial day is due to the
great soldier and statesman, General
John A. Logan.
On the 5th day of May, 1868 he issued
an order, the purpose Of which is
shown in the following extract.
The Goth day of May. 1868, is desig-
mated for the purpose Of strewing with
flowers or otherwise decorating the
graves Of comrades who died in defense
of their country during the late rebel
lion, and whose bodies now lie in al
most every city, village and hamlet
church yard in the land. In this obser-
vance no form of ceremony is pre-
scribed, but posts and comrades will
in their own way arrange such fitting
services and testimonials of respect as
circumstances will permit. We are or
ganized, comrades, as our regulations
tell us, among other things, of preserv-
ing and strengthening those kind and
fraternal feelings which have bound
together the soldiers, sailors and mar
ines who united to suppress the late
rebellion.
The order was transmitted to every
state in the union, meeting at once
with universal approval. and the thr-
tieth day of May became a day for the
teaching of lessons of patriotism and
the paying of a public tribute to the
soldiers and sailors who died for their
country.
Thirty-tWo years have passed, and
Decoration day is still the most sacred
in our national life. We still see the
soldiers of 81 as they march to the
sacred place where their comrades
sleep. but marching we'll in line and
keeping close behind them we see the
soldiers of '9S. Gods smile is on them
both. Both cherish tenderly the men,
Ory OF the comrades who have gone on
before and are waiting-waiting for the
soldiers we see. today to join them in
the final grand and eternal muster III

bers: 80, .':~
The Ninth Annual convention of the
International Longshoremens associa-
ton will be held in Duluth, Mimi, be-
ginning Tuesday morning, July 10th,
1900.
Every local is entitled to two dele
gates who are to be elected at your
next melting -t,G
1t is unnecessary to dwell on the i'm
portance Of being represented at the
next convention, for every interested
member realizes that these annual
gatherings constitute the legislative as
well as the governing body of our or
ganization. AtaEthese conventions ev-
cry local., and If need be, every men,
ber has an opportunity to propose
measures for the betterment of their
various conditions.
Our convention of late years has
been we'll patronized. This fact has
been observed by an organization with
which we are thrown into daily con-
tact, viz, the Lake Carriers associa-
ton. You will remember the indiffer-
ence and defiance we encountered in
endeavoring to establish friendly rela-
tions with the Lake Carriers associa-
tion, and with what reluctance they
met our advances They did not be-
lieve that a common -longshoreman had
the least business tact about him. But
thanks to the self-sacrificing efforts of
pioneers of the International Long
shoremen's association, they have
changed their minds, and, instead OF
stunning us, rather look for us, and
are anxious to deal with us.
Every convention has had some ad-
vantage over the preceding one; each
year has brought larger representa-.
tions and more interest and enthus-
iasm. And it did not rest there. When
the delegates returned to their locals
they reported what they had learned
| and thus aroused interest in others. III
| this manner our rorganizatio has beer
strengthened; we have become more o1
unit. We are now among the fore.
most trade union, bodies. This posi-
ton, am positive, you are all anx.
ious to maintain and ready to assist
in enlarging the scope of it's usefulness
Locals will be notified, as to head
quarters and accommodations for del
egates in Duluth as soon as arrange
ments for same are completed.
Yours fraternally,
