AS his Majesty drove through the city it
was remarked that he had gained flesh

who describes his parting from Dowager

carefully concealed his emotions so as not
TO allow her to suspect her real condition.

Night

Night is the time for rest;
How sweet when labors close,
To gather round an aching breast
The curtain of repOse.
Stretch the tired limbs, and lay the
head
Upon our own delightful bed.
Night is the time for dreams;
The gay romance of life,
When truth that is. and truth that
seems.
Blend in fantastic strife;
Ahl visions less beguiling far
Than waking dreams by daylight are.
Night is the time for toll
To plough the classic field,
Intent to lind the buried spoil
Its wealthy burrows yield,
Till all Is ours that sages taught,
That poets sang, or heroes wrought.
Night is the time to weep;
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves of memory where sleep
The joys OF other years,
Hopes that were angels in their birth,
But perished young-like things on
earth.
Night is the time to watch;
On oceans dark expanse;
To hail the Pleiades or catch
The run moons earliest glance.
That brings into the homesick mind
All we have loved and left behindA
Night is the time for care
Brooding on hours misspent,
To see the scepter of despair
Come to our lonely tent,
Like Butus. midst his slumbering
host.
Startled by Caesars stalwart ghost.
Night Is the time to muse;
Then from the eye of the soul
Takes fight. and with expanding
views.
Beyond the starry pole
Descries, athwart the abyss Of night
The dawn of uncreated light.
Night is the time to pray,
Our Saviour oft withdrew
To desert mountains far away;
SO will his followers do
Steal from the throng to haunts un
trod
And hold communion there with God
Night is the time for death;
When all around lis peace,
Calmly to yield the weary breath
From sin and suffering cease,
Think of Heavens bliss, and give th'
sign
To parting friends-such death b.

There seems TO be a general misun-
derstanding regarding the resolution
before the Street and Sewer Commits
sion relative TO the proposed elevation
of the tracks Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. Many are under tine impression
that the present tracks Will be aban-
doned upon the completion of the e.e-
waited structure; this, we understand, Is
a mistake, as the resolution calls for
two tracks to be elevated, which will
be used for through passenger trains,
while the present surface tracks will
remain for freight and possibly for
local passenger trains. This is a point
which we understand has been general

WHERE TRAMPS WHO INFEST
THIS CITY MAKE THEIR HOME

1t may not be generally known
where the home and living place of the
great number of tramps who visit this

road, just beyond its junction with the

half miles south of the city will no.

Wilmington tramp.

others of the colony We're nearby, and
lat least fifteen, according to the state

about the fire were eating. and when
the reporter inquired if the meal was
dinner or supper, one Of the hoboes re
piled that it was a combination. The
meal was no mean one, consisting, as
it did, Of fried beef, canned tomatoes,
roasted potatoes, bread and coffee.
Aside from the eating party were the
other tramps engaged in different ways.

gagged in repairing an outer coat, which
doubtless had seen years of service;

SUBWAY FOR LINWOOD
Pennsylvania Railroad Contemplating
Great Improvement in That Town

1t is stated upon good authority
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is preparing plans for a subway
at the crossing at Linwood station and
that the company will shortly bring
the matter before the Marcus Hook
Borough Council in an official man
ner. For several weeks past the COM
pany's engineers have been at work
surveying along the cOmpany's prop
erty in the vicinity of the crossing,
and have also been surveying and OBJ
taining the lines on Market street,
both below and above the station.
The subway would do away with a
graue crossing alt that point and in the
opinion of many would be a big i'm
provement.
The company will have TO act with
the supervisors of Lower Chichester
township in conjunction with the
members of the Borough Council. The
railroad company's tracks are the
dividing line between the borough and
J the township and the subway would
luherefore be equally divided between
the borough and the township. Jusi

when their wishes are not acceded TO-
but in a majority OF cases this occurs
when they are under the influence of
liquor. There is a great amount of
lsociability existing among them, and
their genial nature partakes of a
higher sphere than the participation in
the black crimes. That there are ex-
iceptions to the general rule is a fact.

those who are not only black on the

A GREAT GAME

The Army-Navy game at Philadel-
phia ON Saturday, was one of the most
brilliant and interesting athletic spec
tacles this country has ever witnessed.
Thirty thousand persons were massed
in the amphltheatre-thirt thousand
ladies and gentlemen-and there was
not a semblance Of rowdyism, nor even
the shadow Of a dispute The game
Itself was such as a spectator loves.
There was a display of grit THAT never
tagged in the face Of disaster, and a
sufficient number Of brilliant plays to
start the enthusiasm of the vast audi
ence. Admiration for the Navy was di-
vided for that for the Army. 1t was
difficult to be partisan. and each brill
liant play received the full applause Of
all the stands.
It was remarkable that a mere ath-
.etic contest should have called to-
gether so many eminent personages.
They ranged from the President of the
United States 10 minor officials. 1t was
good 10 see the zest with which even
the most dignifed entered into the
spirit OF the occasion. Grave generals,
ldlgnified admirals, and venerable col
liege presidents occasionally waved
their hats and yelled, while the Presi-
dent of the United States, in his en-
thusiasm, left the dignihed surround
ings of the stand and took his place
among the rooters on the side lines.
It was all healthy and good to see
and was expressive OF the idea tha'
underneath the coat OF our dignity W.

CONGRESS MEETS

At the hour of noon today Congress
assembled, and another season of leg
islative anxiety viii ensue. Tomorrow
the Presidents message Will be pre-
sented, and after its reception both
houses will adjourn out of respect to
the memory OF the dead President.
There is much work already mapped
out, and a busy session is anticipated.
There will be several measures Of vast
Importance 10 be considered. chief Of
which is the lsthmian canal which,
from present indications, Will have lit
tie opposition, and subsidiary to this
will come the Pacific cable project. The
President has expressed himself as be-
ing favorable TO these measures, and
under the new treaty with England the
obstacles to the first have been re-
moved.
There will be no tinkering with our
finance, as all agitation in That quarter
has subsidized under our splen-
did prosperity. Besides the
majorities in the two houses
in favor of sound money are decided
Tarin and reciprocity viii come up for
and while there is very
little likelihood of any change in the
present tariff schedules, yet there will
be an effort made in that
direction.
The river and harbor bill, whicn
means so much to the cities and towns
largely upon their commerce,
probably will follow the lines of the
of the last session which SEN
ator Carter talked to death in The wan
ing hours of the close. With a Re
publican President and both houses Of
the same persuasion, there should be
no difficulty in securing any important
legislation.
