 There will be gathering Of the sur yising army nurses, who gave their services to the army duting the dark days Of the civil war, to care for ihe sick, wounded, and dying.
 Me have seen Il suggested that there be no more national eneampments of the G. A. k, but that All soldiers of both armies should meet in one body, but whether IL will be seriously eonsid- cred we may not predict.
 We hear frequent criticism of the statue of General Lee placed in the capitol al Washington. more especially for having the uniform of his rank
 
 Army. However this has been settled by the government by a statue passed in 1864, and criticism should now cease.
 Department Commander of Connec- ticut c. A. K. Edson .. Bishop, and George ;. smith, his active assistant adjutant general, are here looking out for lhe comfort of ali. Mrs. Leach, president of our local W. k. C., Is in the gathering, and k. q genial and in- tefesled delegate. This Is true of many of the ladies here. In fact, think they appreciate and enjoy il all quite as much as the veterans themselves. J adge Beers Is Il member of the Ma tlopai Staff. The names most heard for National Commander are John Gill man of Boston, and the editor of the National Tribune, the former most popular in the East It is expected that the vote for National Commander will not be taken before Thursday, and possibly not till Friday.
 Tickets are good until the 18th. Many will take runs to Philadelphia, Washington, and the battlefieds of Gettysburg and Antietam. This will allow stopping over in New Tor and other eastern cities.

DEAR PATRIOT; This Is .eur iir,t visit to Atlantic City. We had read so much about il, and friends had de- scfieed it as "the most wonderful re- sott in this country that We were prepared for favorable impression, but the reality surpasses all this. Much has been written before and ak length. Arriving al nine o'clock the evening of Monday, the lSth, as we neared the city, we noted the miles of brilliant lights along the water front and on some of the larger buildings. It was really marvellous. Another un- usual feature was the string of electric light globes upon every trolley pole the length of Atlantic avenue, and pecu. liarly effective, if not the most notice able piece of decorating seen here.
 While we have not been able to se- cure an accurate canvass. il Is estima- ted that Massachusetts has furnished . quota of thousand, which includes the veterans, the ladies Of the W. RIG. and their friends, and Connecticut per hsp~ ,nose than i've hundred. while New Hasnpshire has liberal number As sell as Rhosie Island. Of course New Jersey.

Shall inc City Own its wsierwerks1

A special city meeting is to be held next Tuesday forenoon, Sept. 2Tth, al 2 o'clock, in Hammond Hails to see If the city voters will decide to estab- fish water works under the provision of an act passed by the General Assem- bly Of this State, al It's January ses. sion Of 1905, entitled "An Act PFosid- ing for tine supply Of Pure and N hole some Water in the city of Putnam"
 One thing oughtto Dc done al that meeting, and that l., that the city must own and operate it's watefworks if conclusive reasons,esn be given.
 That does not mean that the new water. works should De undertaken at once, if 10 satisfactory arrangement can be made with the present Putnam Wa Ter Co to transfer them to city. To do this the city enn afford to be generous in ;ts offer of conditions of payment tn- dependent Of what the decision of apy commission might be.
 Another thing thegeiiy should tifsl knos k. whether they haze ef can ses cure at once, a body Of experts who can do their building in thorough and ee onomica manner, and esrfsfhem on If needbe, for any definite period.
 II these important preliminary steps are first satisfactorily settled, % that iAe voters have perfect assurance Of the fact, the city can have no apprehension of failure.
 "First be right. then % aheadi k safe rule in this enIe. 1U take I'D such aa tn Bpoftant and costly work with out the assurance that it will be under the control of the safest body oi ex. perts to be found, would be sure to cause more Or less trouble. | would be taken as nnbusiness ike management, creating doubt and apprehension feeling. that usually cad in disaster.
 Now, al the coming meeting next Tuesday, the voters should come pre- pared 10 take firm, frank stand-that the city proposes to own and carry on wster.wofks of it's own that they are willing to pay n fair price for the pre- sent system of city water. works, and to settle mieabiy--pfiyately or legally --for the tranfeTence of the present sys- lem of watef.wofks to tlse city.
 That 1t may not seem to be a desire to set hastily, committee Of our best citizens should be appointed To arrange for the transference of the present sys- lem of water.works to the city.
 Falling in that effort, then the same committee report the names of com mission Of expert engineers, who will undertake to build new system of water-works for the city.
 If new system of water.wotks has to be built, we hope their head will be placed under the foothills around the city. This was the original plan, but was changed for financial reasoBs-pot expecting 10 build filtration works.

There is no doubt that there will be many surprises in the coming elections in this country, this tall--and also many bitter disappoiniments. Among the latter will be those of the " Insuf- gents,u who have laid q foundation on slight surmises for new National Par ty.
