Statesman on His Kinetieth Birthday.
Democrats and Republicans Tied -with
each other yesterday in offering congratula
tions and expressions of hearty goodwill
to General Simon Cameron on the ninetieth
anniTersary of his birth. The Pennsylvania
Legislature, the Governor and many other
distinguished guests were among the aged
statesman's callers, while letters, telegrams
and tributes of respect poured in from every
quarter. The General entertained his guests
most pleasantly, and seemed in a very
happy and contented mood.
rFEOM X STAFF COKKESrONDETT.J
Haeeisbcbg, March a The feeble
hand that in its days of strength swayed a
Commonwealth by its beck and helped to
guide the destinies of a nation, reached
tremblingly out to-day, responsive to the
hundreds that thronged with warm congrat
ulations. In the luxurious parlor of the old
stone house, built 122 years ago on the banks
of the Susquehanna by the founder of this
city, stood to-day, as Senators and Repre
sentatives came to do him honor, the
hero of many a hard-fought political
field, the Hon. Simon Cameron. Young
men with elastic tread came in and gazed
with interest on the bent form and the fine
head, crowned with its luxuriant growth of
frosted hair. Old men came with slower
steps to look on their former chieftain.
None who had stood close to him in the ad
vance guard of the old political battles were
there. To this one as he passed he said:
"I knew your father." To another: "Your
grandfather and I were friends." As Sena
tor Koss" was introduced he said: "You are
the grandson of old Boss, of Bucks." His
mind was clear on the things of the past.
OLD MEM OKIES BEVIVED.
The familiar names of the young men re
vived the memories of the days of his prime,
and though the burden of his years com
pelled him to seat himself before the line of
Senators had filed past, his aged form di
lated with pleasijt-e, bis voice became firmer
and fuller toned, and pleasant words flowed
from his tongue in response to the polite,
kindly or earnest phrases of his visitors. A
touching incident was the grasping of Gen
eral Cameron's hand by the venerable Bep
resentative Moore, of Montgomery, who re
cited a graceful sentiment, ending with the
line, "Touch us gently. Father Time."
That's a beautiful sentiment," said Gen
eral Cameron. "Time has been very kind
to me and touched me ve.-y gently."
"When Bepresentative Johnson, of Cam
eron, shook hands, the General, remarked:
"You ought to be a cousin of nrme." Bep
resentative Dearden said as he shook hands,
"Congratulations, General, and I wish you
ten years more."
"Thank you, sir," said the General, "you
Philadelphians are always generous."
As young Bepresentatite Missimer, of
Berks, clasped the General's hand and was
modestly passing quickly away, the veteran
clung to him a moment and jocularly re
marked: "Wiegeht's?" Of Bepresentative
Hays, of Venango, h aflectionately in
quired for "my old friend, your father."
"Yours is an old Montgomery county name,"
he said to Bepresentative Bean.
A HAPPr LITTLE SPEECH.
When the long procession of legislators
had passed General Cameron said to the
many remaining in the room:
"(Gentlemen, I am very glad to see yon
all, and very much obliged for the honor
you have done me. I don't know what
more I can say, except that I'll try to
behave myself as long as I am here, and
will always be glad to see yon when you do
me the honor to call."
Speaker Boyer made a graceful reply. He
wished the veteran many years ot happi
ness, "and," he said, quoting from Tennyson
on the Duke of "Wellington, "We are all
proud of the good gray head which all men
know."
At precisely 11 o'clock the procession of
Senators and Bepresentatives left the Capi
tol led by Lieutenant Governor Davies and
President Pro Tem Grady for the residence
of the General. As the head of the proces
sion reached the house the doors swung
hack and the Legislature of Pennsvlvania
entered. President Pro Tem Grady intro
duced the Senators as they passed. Speaker
Boyer introduced the legislators, when it
was all over General Cameron donned his
overcoat and hat and stood in the front yard
while two photographers, whose cameras
were trained on the house, caught his like
ness before a background of lawmakers of
the Commonwealth.
TVAEM CBEETIKGS TOE ALL.
The Legislature was well represented.
Many who usually leave on Thursday night
or on early trains on Priday had this time
remained. Party lines- were entirely wiped
away for the occasion. Democrats marched
side by side with Republicans to honor the
aged chieftain of the clan Cameron. Some
of them were among those most warmly
greeted. When the rest had gone away a
number of close friends remained at the
mansion by invitation and partook of
luncheon with General Cameron. Among
these were Major L. S. Bent, Senator
George Handy Smith, President Pro Tem.
Grady, Colonel T. T. Worth, of Lebanon;
George Dawson Coleman, Jr., Horace
Brock, M. W. McAlarnev, Colonel O. E.
McClellan, William J. 'Pollock, S. "W.
Dubree and W. J. Milligan, of Philadel
phia; Colonel James Young, of Middle
town; James Franklin, of Philadelphia;
Colonel Philip Figyelmesy, of Columbia,
and others. This afternoon Governor
Beaver and his Cabinet, Secretary Stone,
Auditor General McCamant, Colonel Will
iam Livsey, Attorney General Kirkpatrick,
Secretary Stewart and other heads of de
partments, with lhe numerous employes,
paid their respects.- The State organization
of Catholic Knights of America, in session

rived on the auspicious day. From letters
oi love it was but a step to flowers of friend

magnificent basket of' roses of mammoth
size, with white ribbons, and two beautiful
badges of the club. The committee ac
companying it were William J. Pollock, J.
W. Dubree and W. J. Milligan.
AIT EXQUISITE FLORAL TRIBUTE.

roses, with a keystone border of pink, red
and cream roses, and the inscription of
pinks "S. C. 1790-1889." Other friends
sent floral tokens of regard and other pres
ents showing their esteem.
Many Harrisburg people called during
the day. Neither Senator Don Cameron,
nor his family were present, but they will
make the house joyous again on the 28th
day of this month, when Miss Marguerctta

A SHAMMING SCHEME.
That is Senator Greer's Report on the Mc
Allister Orphans One Boy Conceived
and Worked Up the Mat
terThe School Vin
dicated. rSFECIAI. TELECEAM TO THE PISrATCH.l
Butler, March 8. The voluminous re
port of Senator Greer, Inspector of the Sol
diers' Orphan Schools, regarding the crazy
boys at the McAllister School, will be one
of the most singular and interesting ever
filed iu that department at Harrisburg.
The boys were shamming. They have all
confessed, much to the confusion of wise
and snowy-haired doctors, who diagnosed
the cases. Inspector Greer has the written
confession of 24 boys who had played crazy.
A youth named Gus Spitler was the orig
inator of the famous disease. In the dormi
tory one evening after the boys had retired
he was hurling pillows, when some boy
cried, "Put him out, he's crazv." Suiting
the action to the suggestion, he played
crazy so well the alarmed boys called the
principal and doctors. His confession re
cites his antics and how he often laughed at
his devilish success.
When the doctor bathed him with cold
water he shivered with cold, but thought it
would not do to admit that he was playing
off. Like Spitler, the other boys tell all
that transpired during their seeming crazy
spells. In their confessions the boys say
the motives inspiring them were to have
fun, and have their meals carried to them.
Their ages range from 10 to 16 years, and
their testimony is clearand convincing. Each
one says that they have abundance to eat,
have good clothing and kind treatment
The testimony of 30 boys and girls who
did not play crazv is siren in the report.
They speak of the kind treatment of the
principal, the teachers and of the good food
and clothing furnished them. Their testi
mony is given in the interest of truth re
gardless ot any person. Miss Nora Close,
the young lady named in the newspapers
as having declared that she left the institu
tion because of insufficient food, gives her
testimony. She says the statement is false.
She taught in the "school two months, but
was compelled on account of ill health to
go home. She says there is an abundance
of first-class food furnished the school.
To make his investigation as thorough as
possible, the Inspector received lengthy
statements from Bev. Lowcy, of the Presby
terian Church; Bev. Lusher, of the Luther
an McAllister Church; Judge Smith, Judge
Watts, now postmaster, and a number of
other reliable citizens,a including Grand
-army men. xney express woras oi praise
both for the school and the appearance of
ine cniiaren. xne painsiasjng report ot
Senator Greer proves that the school has
been unjustly abused.

'MM to Old Cat Die,"
Have you read James "Whitcomb Biley's
quaint poem under the above' title? Every
child knows that the phrase applies to the
sport of swinging and means that no more
pushing" is to be applied to the swing, but
that it is to be let alone until the sweep of
the swing gradually becomes slower and
slower until it finally stops. This is called
"Lettin' the Old Cat Die,

elsewhere for elegant garments at such
LOW PRICES as you'll find in this th
most popular store in the city.
OVERCOATS FOR MEN !
We never did show such Overcoats a3
can be seen right now on our counters.
They carry their own letters of credit for
shapeliness, luxury, style, quality and
fine workmanship. They recommend
themselves to all by their remarkably low
prices. Every garment we offer bears
the stamp of perfection, yes, perfect
perfection and the make and fit will
compare favorably with the work of the
most artistic of tailors, while the mate
rials will please the most exacting of
purchasers. The finest produces of for
eign and domestic looms are represented
in our mammoth assortment and" the key
note of our entire stock is unquestion
able reliability.
SPRING OVERCOATS
-von-
YOUTHS and BOYS.
We have now on view and ready for sale '
thousands of the handsomest Overcoats for
Youths and Boys ever seen- Our ever
. busy and alert buyers were the earliest
in the most reliable markets and as a. .
consequence they secured" the cream -of
the styles and qualities. Our
word for it: There'll be a big
demand for Overcoats for
boys the coming spring and '
you surely would like to
have your boys dressed
tastefully, especially when
it is to be done with very lit
tle money indeed. Nowhere
else in this wide world will be
found more elegant Overcoats for
Youths and Boys, for it is indeed very
doubtful whether any clothier in this
country has made the preparations for s
spring trade we have.
