IN COMING YEARS.

The following poem by Dr. G. N. Law son of Middle Haddam, 8 former resident of Union, was read at the dedication of the soldiers monument at Union on Me- morial day, 1909: What message will yon block of granite bear To those who in the days to come shall pass

 What lesson teach the child who sees it in his
 play?
 In each one, as he looks, some different thoughts
 will rise,
 AS each in life has played some different role. We see the colors suited to our natural eyes; We feel those yearnings germane to our soul. Perchance some father. seeing this, may pray: "GOd grant my boy may be of those who dare To follow where the flag of right may lead the
 way.
 That he attain a noble, earnest manhood is
 my prayer" The mother, taught by this will partly know The fearful eagerness, the trembling pride Of those who kissed their sons adieu so long ago. And tried with smiles their aching hearts to
 hide.
 The maid or matrOn to whose life has come The love of some strong, noble, upright man, VIII know the choking threats that made those
 others dumb, .r..-- Of hearts that ached at parting as only wom-
 ans can. Some passing youth may feel his pulses swell, His muscles tighten and his teeth shut fast; The call to do, to dare, to be, may tell R ,ooAa nPo urN1n

suit of a competitive examination, Gen. eral Young doubtless had "the stuff in him." for after three months service in the ranks, in the first year of the Civil war, he raised squadron of cavalry, borrowing the money to do 1t, and after becoming its commander, came out of the war brevet brigadier general.
 The war department is seriously con- sidering the appointment of young Ameri- cans, graduates of the best military schools, to positions as officers in the Philippine constabulary. Commissions in this service carry compensation vary ing from $1 200 8 year, the highest pay of 8 captain, to $500, the lowest pay of a second lieutenant. General Henry, who Is in command of the constabulary, be- lieves that young men who are graduates of first class military schools would event ually make better class of officers than will the non- commissioned officers to whom the places are now awarded. It Is believed that with a better class of men filling these positions the pay will also be increased.
 Tomorrow Judge E. H. Lacombe of United States circuit court will entertain the petition of the interstate commerce commission against the officials of the anthracite coal carrying railroads, who at the recent hearing of the commission refused to answer the questions put to them or to produce the contracts demand ed. The petition begs that these officials be compelled to answer the requisite questions and that they be compelled to produce the contracts asked for. The commission believes it can, with this assistance, establish the existence of a coal trust in violation of the Sherman law against "combinations in restraint oi trade"
 | Secretary Root has rendered decision which will cause g consternation among certain army officers in the Philippines, It has been ascertained that some twenty officers have been drawing pay from the Philippine government in addition to their pay as army officers and also their allowance known as "commutatiOn oi quarters" The secretary decides that they cannot draw the latter allowance when they are receiving pay from the Philippine government and his decision is retroactive, so that these officers will be compelled to return to the government the funds they have illegally received.
 Admiral Dewey, as president of the general board, has made report to the secretary of the navy recommending the immediate establishment of a coaline station in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, and tht erection there of a coal station with al initial capacity of 5000 tons. This rec ommendation is based largely upon thu attitude of the Canadians regarding tn, Alaskan boundry question which Admira Bradford describes in his report to tn general board as threatening" H says that between Alaska and the United States Is the domain of foreign country and every precaution should be taken.
