SEPARATED 17 YEARS
BROTHER AND SISTER
ARE REUNITED HERE
Have Not Seen Each Other Since
They Left Children's In
dustrial Home
After a separation of more than
seventeen*years, In which they had
lost all trace of each other, Anna
Brown, of 1102 Grape street, and her
brother, Lafayette Brown, of Powls
Valley, were reunited this morning.
The reunion took place at Miss
Brown's home to-day. They had not
seen each other since they left the
Children's Industrial Home in 1897,
the boy, then 5 years old, being taken
to a distant farm, and his sister. 11
years old, being taken by another
family living near this city.
The children were placed in the
Industrial Home in January, J897,
when their parents parted. They saw
little of each other at the home, and
when they were sent to widely sepa
rated farms they lost all trace of each
other.
The reunion was brought about
through a chance remark made by
John Hoover, a fellow workman of
young Brown's when he was calling
at Miss Brown's home on Friday
night. He mentioned the name of her
brother and she inquired about the
boy's history. Finally she becaiue
convinced that he was her brother.
Miss Brown came to this city two
years ago and is living with relatives.
She lias always been keeping a look
out for clues to her brother's where
abouts, and when she was convinced
that Hoover's friend was the boy, she
made an immediate effort to have him
come to see her.
When they met this morning they
were able to recognize each other de
spite the changes of sixteen years.
Young Brown works in a lumber
camp in Powls Valley.

Chief of Police Raps Minister
Who Tells of House From
Pulpit
SPOILED CHANCES FOR ARREST
Says It Would Be Impossible to
Get Any Evidence
Now
"Give me evidence and lens public
ity, advertising Harrisburg as a city
of iniquity and I will do my duty,"
said Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison this
morning when asked if he knew of
a house of ill fame in Capital street,
near the Central High School, referred
to in a statement made by the Kev.
Harry Pringle, of the International
Reform Bureau of Washington, at the
Ridge Avenue Methodist church last
night. Continuing, the Colonel said:
"The Rev. Mr. Pringle with a com
mittee representing the Civic Council
of Church called on me Saturday and
told me of the Capital street house
and then by the publicity given last
night made It Impossible to bring
about the results expected by the
court. Do you suppose it would be
possible to get evidence against the
Capital street house now?
"It is discouraging." the chief went
on, "when local ministers, after otter
ing to help this department clean up
the city, hire an outsider who simply
advertises Harrisburg as a wicked
place. There never were fifty houses
of ill fame in Harrisburg and only one
place was found doing business Satur
day night which was raided. Give
me evidence of dens of vice and ] will
do my duty. Stop telling the world
that Harrisburg is such an awful
place.
"What the ministers ought to do is
to provide some way to take care of
the fallen women who are huddled up
in two*or more houses like rats in a
trap, without money to leave the city
and some with no place to go if they
had money. Real Christianity would
be trying to find places for the fallen
women and show them how to lead a
better life."

Church Advertising
Pays Says Smucker
"Advertising does just as much for
a church as it does for a business."
This was the declaration of the Rev.
Clayton A. Smucker, D. I)., pastor of
the B. F. Stevens Memorial Methodist
Episcopal Church, Thirteenth and
Vernon streets, to-day in speaking of
the results of advertising the evan
gelistic services now on in the Stevens
Church.
"Does it pay?" smiled Dr. Smucker.
"Well, y/e have had crowded churches
every night. Dast night we had to
open the Sunday school room to ac
commodate the overflow crowd. That,
it seems to me, is sufficient proof that
people will go to a church as they will
go to a department store or any other
place of business when told through
suitable advertising just what they
can expect at the service."
