NROSE TO HOLD LEGISLATURE OPEN v Work Will Be Finished by June, but Adjournment Will Be Delayed BRUMBAUGH THE CAUSE Closing Assembly Would Leave Too Much Power in Hands of Governor tv a Stuff Corrctpomtcnl HAimiSBUUO. March 28. The IoRlslntlp piORrnm Tins nnnlly liccn flapped out. The attunl work of tho pes lion lll flosc between May lfi and Juno 1, according to present plans. One or more Accesses will then be taken until about the '.nil of October, licnfniial adjournment will fee taken. Tho Penrose- leaders In the Ciencral As ifmbly aro making flic war crisis an ex cuse for holding the t-cRlslature In session, it least technically, until late In the jear for the purpose of holdlnc a club oer tho head of Governor Brumbaugh and his ad. ministration. Should the Legislature adjourn sine die ftcr tho appropriation bills have been passed finally tho Governor would hold tho balance, of power In any factional fight that might crop out within the organlza tlon. The l'emeso Ic.tdeis recognize this fact and have laid their plans accordingly They propose now- that the flencr.il At-seni' bly remain In t-esslon, without coibltant cost to the Commonwealth, until late In the jear, as was done during the Spanish-American War. will ru:.MAi.v HI3ADY Tho revenue-raising measures and the general and other appropriation bills will hk rushed through tho Legislature In the hopo of a recess Doing taken about the middle of May. Instead of adjourning sine die, however, tho Legislature will simply tako a recess and will bo In a position to be called Into active session at a mo ment's notice without much extra cost to the State. Tho Scnrirs and Henrcentatlves re ceive BtatoO .alarles for each session So do the pctmanent omplojos of both houses. Tho per diem employes, however, will be discharged as soon as the ictess Is taken, iccordlng to tho Pentose program, and there would then be no criticism of an expensive esslon. Tho revenue-raising measures will not make their nppeanance until after the gen eral appropriation bill Is Introduced in the House next Monday night. At the same time the report of the Econ omy and Ufflcloncy Commission, which has been working for sixteen months on a program for reorganizing the departments and bureaus of the State government. Is expected to be rnado public. The report, according to advance gossip, contains soire Itartllng recommendations. Tho report was plated In the hands of Governor Brumbaugh today. Whether he Bill permit It to be made public at all after ho has perused It - causing consid erable discussion on Capitol Hill. The geneial appropriation bill, together with tho special appropriation measures, Mill provide for a total of less than $71,000, 000, according to Chairmen Buckman and Woodward, of the appropriations committees of the Senato nnd House, respectively. Two years ago a total of $07,500,000 was ap propriated. The revenue-raising bills, which will be Introduced lato next week at the earliest, Include the following: A tax of 2 per cent on the value of coal nd coke ptepared for s,ale. A tax of 2 per cent on the value of oil and natutnl gas at the well. A tax of ono mill on all stock of manu facturing concerns. A tax of 2 per cent on direct inheritance. A tax of one mill on real estate. A tax upon the sale of tickets for all theatrical performances. These measures, all told, would Increase tho annual revenue of the State by between $12,000,000 and $15,000,000, All of them", however, are not expected tp be passed. As chairmen of the appioprlatlons com mittees explained today, they aro being offered simply for a "scramble" and the State will have to take whatever additional revenjies It can through whatever bills aie finally passed. The bill taxing manufac turers ono mill, for example, has little chance of being passed. TORN FROM GIRL "WIFE," BOY GRIEVES TO DEATH Phillipsburg, N. J., Lad, Who Eloped Here, Couldn't Bear Separation Tho breaking off of a boy and girl love affair has caused tho death of C. How-ell Warner, fourteen jears old, of Phllllpsburg, N, J. He died of a brpken heart, according to frlends.'less than twenty-four hours after he and his llfteen-j ear-old sweetheart. Pearl Wlsmcr, a blgh tchool girl, had been brought 'back from an elopement to Philadelphia. Of an idealistic temperament, the boy several months ago became attached to Pearl Wlsmer, the prettiest girl In the Phllllpsburg High School. Tho village watched tho attachment prow with interest and amusement, "A-boy-and-glrl affair," sniffed prying vil lage spinsters. "They will soon get over It," commented the parents of the children. It soon became an everyday sight, the boy and girl walking to ddiool hand In hand, Howell carrying Peail's books. Other joung folks smiled and were pleased, for love and youth and springtime yaAel along naturally together. Then one day, about a week ago, the pair did not appear at school. It quickly be came common knowledge about town that Howell and Peail liad eloped. Tho descrip tion of the pair was published In tho news papers and detectives at last found tho children at 1006 Vine street, whcie It was ascertained that they had been living as brother nnd sister, Warner had brought the girl to this city with tho Intention of marrying her, byt they found; that because of, their youthful appearanco It would be Impossible for them to obtain a marriage license. So Warner lesolutely decided to aupport the girl In homo way until they could be married. He obtained a Job In a meat market while PearJ started housekeeping In their loom, making 'a pathetic attempt to prepare meals and do other housework. Then 'detectives broke rudely In on the little romance of tender youth and took them away to the House of Detention, where they remained until their, parents came for them. It was said by friends pf the Warner boy today that he was thoioughly broken down In health and spirit because of tho breaking oft of his love affair, and that he pined avyayafter belnft separated from the Wla nier gift.

Your friends, your books and, most of all, your own thoughts lend color to your life and redeem it from the drab of mere existence. But there is in life a more color ful thing than any of these. It is music. And when we say music, we mean music of the nobler sort. It may be merely a simple ballad, but it must be sung in a way that .ennobles it. It has come to pass by virtue of the genius of Edison that every American home can now have the world's noblest music so perfectly reproduced that 4it is indis tinguishable from the same music as heard on the world's greatest stages. Edison solved the secret of Music's Re-creation and made it possible to give you by your own fireside the identical tones of the living artists a veritable replica of the art of the world's greatest artists. It has been proven before more than 300,000 music lovers that & 2&NEW EDISON performs a wizardry which makes its Re-creation of music utterly indistinguishable from the living artist's perform ance of that music. Nearly 300 of America's leading newspapers testify to the truth of this statement in the columns of their own musical departments.
