ALFRED MOVES READS
 HIS OWN POEMS
EneIand's Most Noted Living Poet
 Heard in Slater Hall Course.

The third in the series of lectures in the popular lecture course was held on Monday evening at Slater hall. There was large attendance and the lecture proved a brilliant affair Every one had already been familiar with the printed poems of England's most noted living poet, Alfred Moves, and each was eager to embrace this op- portunity to listen to the author and to learn more of the personality back of such charming verse. and, as Prin- cipal H. A. Tirrell said in introduc- ing the poet, 1t was a chance to learn of great art from a great art ist
 Instead of giving the talk upon poetry which had been planned, MT. Moves occupied the hour in giving se- lectiops from his work. These were not spoiled by elocutionary effect, but given in just the manner in which the ideas presented themselves to the au- thor and this intimate view combined with the pleasing personality pre- senting them was most enjoyable. The first poem given was The Ad- miraPs Ghost. This is based upon an old legend of Devonshire which repre- sents the ghosts of Drake and Nell need. In "The Searchlights," answer is given to the question-never rais- ed in the United States or England whether individual morality differs from political morality.
 The third was The Barologue - a London symphony giving the effect of the street cries and the memory of the Kew Gardens. This was followed by "Companion of Mile" from the Memorial Tavern and giving a picture of May day in Elizabeth. An Eng land and the story of Will Kemp's Morris Dance from London to Nor wich in days. Old Gray Squirrel struck another chord. The boy from the seaside cottage grows gray in his London cage.
 Forty Singing Seamen was suggest ed by Preston John, whom 1t intro duces with his marvellous palace and other dreaming wonders. The Origin of Life is a serious answer to the German scientist, who gives God to place in the universe. The Highway man, from a ballad of Putney Heath where these gentlemen used to con- gregate, is a thrilling story of love and death. The last recitation was, The Lord of Misrule an old English custom as described by a Puritan.
 After the lecture the audience was invited to meet MT. and Mrs. Moves in the Peck Library where an in- formal reception was held for them. Miss Helen Marshall and Principal and Mrs. Tirrell received with them.
 Punch and wafers were served tun- der the direction of a committee from the Art Students association and the College club-Miss Nancy E. Lucas, Richards, Miss Hannah Crowell, Miss Louise c. Meech and Miss Elizabeth B. Huntington. They were assisted by Mrs. Charles L. Richards, Mrs. John c. Averill, and others from both societies.

MIDDuESEx FARMERS
 WONDERING ABOUT TIES
Have Large Quantity of Ties Waiting
 for Railroad to Take.

A Middletown correspondent writes: Several hundred farmers in Middle sex county who spent their spare time last winter in cutting ties for the rail- road company, are beginning to won der if the company is to buy the ties which they have left at various sta tions along the Valley railroad. Es- inmates as to the number of ties cut and delivered at the stations vary, but some have placed it at 5o,000 at the various places between Middletown and Saybrook Junction. Every sta- tion has some. but probably the larg- est number is at Higganun. There the station is practically surrounded by ties piled ten CT twenty deep, while the nill to tke south of the station is lined with huge piles. Deep River has large quantity on hand also, and there are even some in the vicinity of the MaromaS station, although there Is TO station agent there to look after them. Generally the railroad company comes and gets the ties some time during the spring or early summer, but this year TO steps have been taken to remove the ties. Many farmers put in several months during the winter clearing off their woodlots and hauling in ties with the expectation of getting a good bit Of money for their work. The ties are not paid fir when left there at the owners risk, and the con- sequence is that many of the farm CTS throughout the country are hard pressed for money these days, as the income they had been counting on from the sale of the ties has not ma terialized Whether or not the company will remove the ties this month, or wait now until next spring, is not known, but unless they do, there is liable to be strong protest from the farmers. The ties taken now will probably not be used until next spring in most instances, and this will mean that next spring there will not be such a demand for new ties. This means then that the farmers will in many cases have to depend on some thing else this winter for an occupa- ton.
