FLAN TO ENLARGE (iAPiiOL GROUNDS State Officials and Members of th« House and Senate Favorable. The Fox Bill So Dr: wn That th« Property Must Be Acquired at a Fair Price. Harrisburg, Jan. 29. —At the recep tlon by the Harrisburg Hoard of Trach last week to Governor Stuart anc other officers of the state government to the members of the legislature f.nc to the Legislative Correspondents' As sociation. the subject of the extension of Capitol Park was referred to indi rectly by Governor Stuart In hit speech. While he did not in terms commit himself he very clearly Indi cated that he was in favor of the en terprise, saying that he understood what was wanted and that lie believed the legislature, which he said is of unusually high character, could be de pended onto do whatever was for the best interests of the state. Anyone who knows conditions sur rounding the capltol knows that the enlargement of the park, as proposed, is of prime importance to all the peo ple of the 6tate. ' Other speakers referred to the mat ter more directly. Senator DeWalt, who spoke for President Pro Tem. Woods, of the senate, who was un avoidably absent, declared that while Pennsylvania has the most magnificent and most beautiful capitol of any state in the Union, its surroundings were utterly inadequate and mean. lie pledged himself and his fellow-mem bers to vote for any proper bill for the enlargement of the grounds as pro posed. These sentiments were heartily applauded by the senators and repre sentatives, as well as by everybody else in the great auditorium, which was filled with the leading members of the state government and the general assembly and the most prominent busi ness and professional men of Harris burg. No one should be deluded by the statements of chronic kickers and pullbacks that this is a Harrisburg en terprise and for the benefit of Harris burg. It is a great public improvement l'or the benefit of the people of the whole state, which the people of Har risburg recommend because they are on the ground and see the necessity for it. There is no pecuniary or specit lative interest whatever behind this movement. The people of the state can rest as sured of this. The following is a summary of the provisions of the bill to provide for the extension of Capitol Park intro duced in the senate on Monday even ing, January 21, by Senator John E. Fox. The governor shall appoint three commissioners, none of whom shall be interested directly or indirectly in any of the property to be acquired, who shall constitute the Capitol Park ex tension committee, whose work shall be completed and which shall expire by limitation June 1, 1911. Any va cancy in the commission shall be filled by appointment by the governor for the unexpired term. The commission is authorized to ac quire title in the commonwealth to all the land between the present Capitol Park on the west, the Pennsylvania railroad on the east. North street on the north and Walnut street on the south, containing about 14 acres, ex tlusive of streets. No land shall he actually taken by the commonwealth until the city of Harrisburg shall by ordinance provide tor the vacation 91' all the streets, al leys and other highways in that sec tion without any liability on the part of the commonwealth for damages. The commissioners may acquire the land by purchase at. reasonable prices to be agreed upon between them and 1 lie owners, but if they cannot agree the commissioners may on 60 days no tice to the owners of their intention to do so take possession of the land and such possession shall vest absolute title in the commonwealth. The commissioners may assess the damages after full hearing on due no tice to the owners. If the owners are not satisfied they can appeal to the Dauphin county court for the fixing of damages in the usual way. The bill carries an appropriation of 51,600,000 or as much as may be neces sary for the payment of the real estate taken. As will be seen there can be no spec ulative snake concealed in this bill. The commission is to be appointed by Governor Stuart. Probably none of them will be residents of Harrisburg or Dauphin county. No unfair prices can be paid for the land because in case of disagreement the price after full hearing and inspection will be fixed by a jury of view subject to confirmation by the court. None of the money ap propriated will probably be required fiiis year, as it will take months for the preliminary work of the commis sion to he done. The disbursement of the $1,600,000 or so much of It as may be necessary, provided for in the bill, will extend over a period of four years, so that there will he no draft 011 the treasury in any one year that will .-it all inter fere with proper provision for the state charitable and penal institutions, the public schools and the making of good roads. Any one who is familiar with the sit uation must see that this is great pub lic improvement that every considera tion of good business demands should be made now. l T nless the property is secured at this time it is sure to "en hance in value and is bound in the near future to he built tip with large fac tories and warehouses that will entire ly shut nit' the view of our magnificent capitol from the rasf and from the sisht of persons who pass through on trains. Communications received from lead ing editors in every county show that the public sentiment throughout the state is overwhelmingly in favor o? this great work. %atcst Count? Correspondence.

And his blows, the tall mountains do jar- He jumps out of bed at sunrise, With a clear, honest look in his oye=; It is pleasing to see. How he tackles a tree. And hustles it up into ties. He is a stranger to alt human ilk; He never has fever or chills; For if he feels sick. He crosses the creek. And samples "SmitliV Vegetable Fills. So long life to Uncle George Starr, May his bright future never be marred: But if "Sullivan" he gets! He will fix him, you bet. With a nice coat of feathers and tar. J. !■'. S. The Fleecers are Around. Assessment rolls oft-times remind us That the taxpayer has no show. Useless all his toil and endeavor, For the collector swipes the dough. That bonded debt Is a tax-s veiling leiveu, And the county treasury a never filled dump. Say, where is the pictured prosperity heaven, The spellbinder gilded when out on the stump? Sad is the heart of the o'er-rated sinner, Whose hard-earned nickels, have gone in a lump. Oh, who will loan him the price of a dinner? This stripping ono bare is a hog-able thump. Do you know where taxpayers can avoid starva tion? Where just a few sheave's escape annual doom? Me thinks 'tis where assessors take an eternal vacation, In a thrice blessed spot,—just over the moon. —EMMA MEKSEREAU NEWTON.

At a banquet of clergymen recently the subject of abseut-uiinded people was under discussion and yarns un dent and of recent origin were told by several speakers. It is seldom that ministers compete with one another to tell stories that task the credulity of their hearers, but upon this occasion the Rev. I>r. Dana, pastor of the Walnut Street Presby terian church, carried off the honors. "There was a physician whose ab sent-mindedness was so marked that It often caused queer complications," said I)r. Dana.

The photog rapher was at a loss to account for this, an examination of the negative failing to give the slightest clew to the source of trouble. A fortnight later an eruption of spots broke out 011 the woman's face, which proved to be the first outward symptoms of a very severe attack of smallpox. Itlvalry In Big: Mansions. The rivalry of the Pittsburg million aires manifests itself mostly in the building of vast mansions in New York city. Mr. Carnegie set the pace with his great house on upper Fifth avenue. Then his former employe, Mr. Schwab, ! decided to build a more showy and j costly establishment on the west side of the city. Now Mr. Frick, who lost ! his admiration for Mr. Carnegie a few years ago, pays $2,400,000 for the I Lenox library site on Fifth avenue, be- 1 tween Seventieth and Seventy-First Afreets, and will erect there a residence to cost millions. rJ-'hnN Explanation.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin- | ing of the Eustachian Tube. When , this tube is inflamed you have a rumbl- 1 ing sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely clo ed, Deafness is | the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restor ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which ; is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
