POEMS WORTH READING.
GettysbarS Field.

Gettysbars Field.
when the waves OF shadow sweep
Nouhward on this meadow deep.
'Tis the charge OF Pfckeit's hosts
In the gamboh of the ghosts:
And when southwark bends the wheat.
They are acting their retreat.
And the wrsiths Of men In blue.
Riding on the breeze pursue.
Wonder lowly wall OF stone
Marks where War WAS overhrown.
Dying now IN N, nil strife.
In a world once battle rife
Groans the monster that his sight
Never shall behold such night.
Nor such heroes see again
Death defy on gory plain.
Poetry The roster call:
Crown tn" humblcs of them all
with thy wreath Of honorIs weave.
so that Wonder may perceive
That the laurels here arc due
into all and not a few
Michael Cuddy OF New York.
Franklin Dodd OF Benford's Fork!
When the nery Southron there
Charged his las. IN nerce despair.
North ten PAGES from the wall
stood a color bearer tall
Gras Ding IN his hardy rivht.
Foremost nag In al, the nsh'.
Banner Of the Tannany sent
Forty second Regiment.
Rushing frst Of Pickett's men
Lanky Dodd esped him then
Through the smoke OF battle hell.
Through the roar OF shot and shell:
Boys. hurrah we've got their dagi
Watch me cit the Yankee rag
And before he jumped the wall
Stopped and aimed and sped the ball.
sergeant Cuddy forward fell.
Heard the shrill,ng rebel yell
saw. when alf-way In his fall.
Hundreds. thousands. clear the wall.
To his knees he rose ald raised
Up his banner. God be praised"
Moaned he. as the rush and shout
Told OF counter charge and rout
Michael cuddy. kneeling there
With his banner floating fair.
Died. while Dodd's death -stinening hands
Bound his wrists like iron hands.
Side BY side and hand In hand.
In a gliding. ghostly band,
Michael Cuddy. Franklin Dodd.
Fell In line before their God.
And Voice OF thunder rolled:
Here my best. My bravest bold
Dwell. but may return al will
To their nelds OF glory STILL
Gettysburg on all Will bind
High respect for human kind:
So do heroes work Ny plan
For the brother peace OF man."

Would Raise Upton to Peeraas.

London, May 5.-There is said to be
serious trouble between King Edward
and Lord Salisbury concerning the IT,
tie TO be conferred on Sir Thomas Lip
ton at the coronation. The king wants
to make him a peer, but Salisbury
holds, it is reported, that it would be
unprecedented, and that a baronetcy
is the highest title he should get. 1t
is said that if the king has his way
Upton will take the title of Baron
Osidge, after his country seat, which
is perilously akin to Sausage" to be
assumed by the Bacon King.

SOMETHING BESIDE TALK NOW.
Its up to Welsh. Whitehead and
Brown to Pass Sewer Bill.

A long winded session marked the
special meeting of the Board of Alder
men Friday evening when the sewer
bill drafted for the Legislature by
Ex-Judge W. W. Cutler was carefully
considered. The bill which is COM
posed of thirty one sections was read
by Alderman Hurting, chairman of
the Sewer Committee. Although the
meeting was opened to the public,
Carman f. Randolph was the only
outsider present with the exception
of thek newspaper men. The bill
provides Sfn part that the sewer ques-
tion-shall be decided at special elec-
uion by the people and for that ques-
ton only. Judge Garretson is to ap-
point a commission of four citizens
in good standing which shall decide
as to constructing system whether
trunk, disposal, etc., their decision to
be approved by the Board of Alder
men.
The entire cost of the system is not
to exceed five per cent. of the valua-
tion of the town. AS Morristown is
valued at $S, 900, 900, the amount to be
expended should not be over $400, 600.
The bill further provides that II
two thirds of the residents of street
vote in favor of sewering that street,
such street shall be severed.
Judge Cutler was appointed to look
after the bill in Trenton. Alderman
Burke then remarked that it was
about time for breakfast, whereupon
the meeting adjourned.
