A Fuller Statement.

WAS greatly amused dC Inc Nd
rangue of 5599 which appeared in
recent issue of THE MIRROR. He
is one of the sort | warned my
readers to beware of when said there
were those who get real angry when
the trusts are upheld. However, as
they are comparatively few they really
do not cut much figure except in mean
ingless argument. will now dispose
of the illogical rawlings of the aforesaid
5599.
In answer to his challenge to name
the town of 10000 inhabitants which
became deserted when branch of the
Steel Trust moved its plant therefrom,
I'll simply remind 5599 that the town
of Moxham, Cambria Co., Pennsyl-
vania, became depopulated in 1896
when the branch of the steel trust
which operated in connection with the
Edgar Thomson Steel Co., moved to
LOrain, Ohio, to escape the complete
stagnation of their business, which
was imminent and caused by labor
troubles and falling off of foreign Or
ders.
Now, in case my opponent does not
know exactly how to get to former
Moxham 1 shall be more explicit. Take
the train over the B. & o. from Pittsburg,
Pa, for lockwood. Don't ask for a
ticket for Moxham, for the agent will
be completely nonplussed and will in
form you that Moxham was struck of
their time tables in 1896D At Rock
wood you transfer to the Somerset and
Cambria branch of the B. & o. When
you get to Paint Creek, leave the train
and walk down the tracks till you
come to a shanty, where you may be-
come acquainted with the Buttinsk
family who will show you the ruins Of
former Moxham.
Now, as to the molten steel. Can il
be possible that the correspondence
school where 5599 no doubt gained hi
theoretical knowledge of steel manu-
facture failed to teach him the process
OF making steel from iron? Does h,
pretend to believe that steel girders
car wheels and ingots are beaten ou
by sheer physical force from cold iron
He should take practical course ant
have his tutor arrange for days Wis
it to some rolling mill.
About the company's physician. Al
low me to say that the Cambria Irol
Co., the SparrOws Point Steel Co., tn
Edgar Thomson Steel Works, and il
fact all the steel companies in the trus
have paid physician in their emplO
whose sole business is to attend to tin
ailments of their workers and families
and his services are available at an
hour of the day or night. Of course a

but I've never known the physician c

attention. And further, there is

the physician, or vice versa if yo
please.

Here she is again, the dear,
Sweetest vestal of the year,
In her little purple hood
Frightening the lonesome wood.
We who, something worn with care.
Take the road, find unaware
Joy that heartens, hope that thrills,
Love our cup of life that fills,
Since in Springs remembered hooks,
Lifting fain familiar looks,
Once again with curtsying grace,
In the same dear lOwly place,
God His manual sign hath set
In the tender violet.

Appreciations.

The sweet poem, Spring" by G. S.
in the last Issue of TIE MIRROR lifted
my soul to sublimest heights. Yes, in
deed. Believe me. HARLEY.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1904-04-14

G. S. has evidently changed his mind
in regard to poets, as 1 read in last
weeks MIRROR his beautiful poem,
"Spring." 1t was masterpiece, and l
am glad he has come forth and proved
to us that he is poet at heart, il not in
his arguments. N G.

Often when one has made VOW
(sworn off, so to speak, he fiEds that
propriety forces him to break his good
resolves. Such is the case with me.
Upon glancing at last weeks issue of
The MIRROR, my attention was riv-
eted on the poem entitled "Spring,"
which l read before l discovered the
author. I must admit that 1 was
agreeably surprised, when I found that
our friend G. S. had been converted.
l had noticed that his writings of late
were being tinged more and more each
week with poetical thoughts and ex-
pressions, and expected that in the
course of time he would see the error
of his past ways; but l was hardly pre-
pared to learn of so sudden a CONVEX
sion. I certainly must congratulate
him on his first effort in poetry and
trust we will hear from him often
Aba Dab should see to it that G. 5. is
allowed to grow chin whiskers and
curl his hair. G.

In the controversy which took place
in the columns of The MIRROR some
weeks ago the writer intimated that
G. S. could not have been sincere in
his attacks on poets and poetry. But
G. S. carried his attacks to such lengths
that it never occurred to me that my
contention would so soon be verified
by the appearance of beautiful poem
by that gentleman, and in such bold
type right on the front page of THE
MIRROR. The nature of his attacks
was such and the verses on Spring,
are so entrancingly pretty and touch
ing that the whole thing is made utter
ly and doubly incongruous. 1t is al
most enough to cause one to lose faith
in mankind. But it is evident that the
approach of "beautiful spring" and the
near approach of his freedom forced G.
S. to give vent to his pent up rythmi.
cal feelings and we now behold in him
a full fedged poet. Who would nave
thought it.! How deceiving. But the
world is full of deception and surprises

Verify the ways of genius are inscrut-
able; fact established beyond perad-
venture in the case Of e. S., whose ode
to "Spring" embeIlished the columns
of THE MIRRORS last issue. Having
ridiculed poets and invelghed against
poetry with vehement energy deserv-
ing of a better cause, he evidently be-
came filled with contrition and, as a
Lenten observance drew on the Bank
of Posterity by inditing that graphic
poem which was at once source of
delightful surprise to his numerous
friends and a distinct credit to him
self. A. KsAR BEN.
have read poems by Shakespeare,
Homer, Burns, Poe, Bryant, Lowell
and host of others, but none of their
verses ever appealed to me like that
classical little ode on Spring which ap-
peared in last weeks issue of THE
MIRROR. 1t was the most beautiful
thing that have seen in print. The
author handles language as an
Angelo does colors. G. S., the
brilliant young author, possesses all
the distinguishing characteristics of a
great poet and to say that appreciate
his effort would be to only mildly ex-
press it. F. M.
E. pluribus popgun! You may be
surprised at this exclamation but l
couldn't help it. In last weeks MIR
RoR there appeared poem over the
signature G.. S. G. S. is the same indi-
vidual who short time ago anathe-
matized all things poetical with an an
tlpathy that was emphatic to say the
least. Now he has broken forth with
a glorious poem on the beauties OF
spring. Yes, sir, he has written q
poem entitled Spring" Can it be
that the balmy breezes Of spring have

1t was with re-awakening of ado
iescent joy, and rejuvenation of self,
that l read in last weeks MIRROR, the
beautiful lines written by G. S. and
dedicated to Spring. Tho not quite
beyond the pale of criticism, the poem
still reflected the inspirations and long
ings of talented, but unrecognized gen.
ius. Poetry at best is an exotic that
thrives not we'll under the cold analyti-
cal stare of prosody or the plebeian
censure of the uninitiated. Therefore,
encouragement should be extended to
the neophyte In his maiden effort; care
fully abstaining from hint or innuen-
do, as to the ultimate fate of all spring
poets. Genius has ever offered herself
as vicariOus sacrifice to humanity
and we should be gentle with her. Let
these flowers be culled and preserved
to the uttermost, as their bloom is but
evanescent and their stay transitory.
This world is not for them. They all
too soon wing their way through
etheric space, to the beautiful mansion
prepared for their coming, and leave
us alone, "a worshipping throng at
their feet. X. M.

DRYDEN TROPHY WON.

Closely contested, with an exciting An
ish, the Dryden trophy match was won
yesterday afternoon by New Jersey with
an aggregate OF 9s7 out OF a possible 1900
II was the best match of the meeting
this year. and as exciting In its finish as
any ever contested here. Ohio had the
lead at 200 and 600 yards, but failed TO
maintain II at 1000 although the Ohioans
have been shooting splendidly at that
range. The District OF Columbia was sec
ond at 200 yards and the United States
Marine corps third. but these places wers
reversed at Gao yards. New Jersey had to
be content with fourth place at 200 and
600 yards.
II was a big contract on the hands OF
the New Jersey men when the teams
moved back 10 1000 yards. The wind was
blowing spitefully from the south, and at
the rate OF 20 miles an hour. and some Of
the best shots missed the targets The
Jersey men went to work courageously
and by better shooting than the Ohioans
gradually reduced the lead OF 20 points
and finally forged ahead. Ohio held sec
ond place with s7s, and the United States
Marine corps captured third place with
969, a difference OF nine points between
first and second and second and third.
The Dryden trophy is one OF the hand
soonest prizes to be contested for. II cost
> $500 and was the gift OF Hon. John +.
Dryden OF Newark. The winning team
holds the trophy year and gets $3.50
Second prize is 800 and third prize is $50
The United States army infantry team
won the trophy in 1903 with>a score OF
