A DIFFERENCE
A conceited Englishman once
boasted that he weighed within
three pounds of as much as
Gladstone.
"Yes," replied a listener, "but
that last three pounds is brains."
There is more difference be
tween the Public Ledger and other
morning newspapers than is rep
resented by one cent.

General Girard, Active
at Camp Meade, Dead
Brigadier-General Alfred Conrad
Girard, U. S. A., retired, who was
prominent during Camp Meade days,
died in Washington on Saturday, fol
lowing an operation for appendicitis.
He was born in Switzerland, July 31,
1841. Coming to the United States,
General Girard served as an acting as
sistant surgeon in the army from Jan
uary, 1865, until May, 1867, when he
was appointed an assistant surgeon.
He served In South Carolina, Indian
Territory, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia,
at the Military Academy at West
Point and at other places.
Just before the Spanish-American
war General Girard represented the
United States in an international con
gress in Madrid. 1-Ie was appointed
chief surgeon of volunteers with the
rank of lieutenant-colonel on May 9,
1 898, and was made chief surgeon
of the Second Army Corps, which was
located at Camp Meade.
The street car conductor was very
impatient. He was waiting for an
elderly, and very stout lady to board
his car, when she suddenly exclaimed:
"Conductor, conductor, will I get
a shock if I step on that rail?'
He quietly answered, "No, lady,

their homes to the Division street
freight station and the yards where
they are employed. These men use
Division street daily and their lives are
in danger."
Work Has Just Started
Mr. Tippett referred to the tract of
eleven acres adjoining Wildwood Park
and owned by the Pennsylvania Rail
road which should be turned over to
the city. He announced that the work
for the opening of the blockade at
Division street had just started and
would be continued until the western
end of the city with its large popula
tion was given proper consideration
and a much-needed entrance to Wild
wood. Mr. Tippett was warmly ap
plauded by the big crowd.
In his remarks, J. Horace McFar
land, secretary of the Municipal
League of Harrisburg, announced that
as the representative of that organiza
tion, he was in hearty accord with the
movement to provide an entrance to
Wildwood Park at Division street and
to give to the city its property now
tied up by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and said:
"Wildwood Park is worth fighting
for. It was made a certainty through
a. hard fight and to keep it means a
hard tight."
To Provide Against Encroachment
The value of parks to men, wo
men and children and Harrisburg's
reputation for having a larger park
area for its population than any city
in Pennsylvania was referred to, and
Mr. McParland announced that he
had a conversation with W. B. Mc-
Caleb, superintendent of the Philadel
phia division, as late as yesterday and
believed that the acquisition by the
city of the eleven-acre tract now own
ed by the railroad company was a
question of a very short time; and
once acquired Wildwood Park would
be safe from any further invasion by
corporations.
In conclusion Mr. McFarland called
attention to the probability of the ex
tension of Cameron street to Division
street in the near future with big im
provements at Maclay street to in
clude a new bridge and which with
additional trolley facilities would af
ford better accommodations to and
from Wildwood Park. Mr. McPar
land said he hoped the good work
would continue and promised his
hearty support.
Chamber of Commerce SupjKjrt
J. W. Bowman, who with W. M.
Ogelsby, represented the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce, stated that he
had received a liberal education from
the views shown of Wildwood Park
and Division street, and in convey
ing the greetings of the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce, he would also
promise the hearty support of the
new organization in the move for bet
ter things by the West End Improve
ment League.
Mayor John K. Royal, called atten
tion to the city line running through
the center of Division street and said
in brief:
"If Division street, is closed with
out authority the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company can be compelled to
open it through a joint action by the
city and township against the Penn
sylvania Railroad; that he would con
sult City Solicitor Seitz. and ascertain
what legal steps are necessary."
Mayor Willing to Help
Mayor Royal said he would accom
pany any committee in making in
quiry of the railroad officials as to
what the railroad company Intended
to do, and do his part in bringing
about the necessary action.
Professor C. A. Ellenberger, repre
senting the Citizens' Association of
Riverside, offered to aid in the project
to open Division street and suggested
than an effort should be made to have
Lewis street opened also.
A motion offered by William F.
Burgoon, to continue the committee
and recommending a subway as the
only solution of the problem at Divi
sion street, received unanimous en
dorsement.
The committee was instructed to
invite the Harrisburg Chamber of
Commerce, Municipal League and
Citizens' Association of Riverside act
with them in bringing about the much
needed improvement.
S. H. Garland, chairman of the exe
cutive committee, endorsing the move,
called attention to the fact that the
improvement would not be a certainty
for sometime and in the meantime
some provision should be made for
reaching Wildwood Park. Mr. Gar
land offered the following resolutions,
which were adopted:
Resolutions Adopted
Whereas, There is now no ade
quate path for pedestrians to en
ter Wildwood Park from Maclay
street, and »
Whereas, There are hundreds
of visitors to the park during the
open season, who go there on
foot, and
Whereas, A proper approach
cannot be completed to Wildwood
Park from Division street, in time
for tiie park season of 1914,
therefore be it
Resoiveid, by the West End Im
provement Association, That the
Superintendent of Parks be In
formed that it is the earnest de
sire of residents of the West End
of the city of Harrisburg, that
there be. constructed, at the earl
iest possible moment., a foot path
of sufficient width to accommo
date such visitors, along the bank. .
of Paxton creek, from Maclay
street to the ball park at Division
street, that there be park benches
placed along It and a park officer
be assigned to police it, and be
it further
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the Superin
tendent of Parks and that he be
urged to give the subject prompt
consideration.
Want Karl} Trolley
The movement to get trolley accom
modations out of Rockvllle at 6.30
a. m. on Sunday instead of 6.30 a. m.
vas referred to the committee on
railways with instructions to confer
with the proper officials.
More train stops for Maclay street
station will be considered later, prior
to the completion of a new schedule
on the Pennsy. It is probable that an
other meeting of the West End Im
provement League will be" held next
month to hear reports on the work
for a Division street subway.
Petitions were circulated after the
meeting requesting the extension of
the cluster light system to Sixth and
Maclay streets, and at Fourth and
Kelker streets, which will be sent to
council next week.

GOOD PIANO ACT
Two neat-appearing and pleasing
young" men are Kimberly and Monr, i
presenting a piano and sinking act at
the Orplieum this week that just hits
the mark with Orplieum audiences.
They are programed as "The Clubmen,
and put on a spirited and peaslng turn,
displaying exquisite voices in new
songs and are just walking away with
the applause hit of the bill. After the
many cabaret and rathskeller acts we
have seen, the offering of Kimberly and
Moitr is a navelty and a treat. Hiere
is much pretty sentiment to the skit as
well as a lot of fun. As artists, they
have talent and ingenuity, and their
act is delightful. Both have a way of
"putting over" their material that
makes it different from the average,
while their songs strike a new note
that is most pleasing. They offer one
of the splendid turns grouped with
"The Darling of Paris," a pretentious
dancing spectacle, that is easily one of
the verv best one-act attractions ever
shown at the Orpheum. Real talent
and a big cast, together with artistic
stagecraft, make this feature in itself
well worth the time and price. The
Orpheum's bill throughout is a variety
show that is hard to beat. —Advertise-

How to Shed a Rough,
Chapped or Blotchy Skin ;
(From Beauty's Mirror.)
This is what you should do to shed r
bad complexion: Spread evenly over
the face covering every inch of skin, a
thin layer of ordinary mercollzed wax.
T*et this stay on over night, washing
it off next morning. Repeat daily un
til your complexion is as clear, soft
and beautiful as a young girl's. This
result is Inevitable, no matter how soil
ed or withered the complexion. The wax
literally absorbs the filmy surface skin,
exposing the lovely young skin be
neath. The process is entirely harm
less, so little of the old skin coming
off at a time. Mercolized wax is ob
tainable at any drugstore: one ounce
usually suffices. It's a veritable won
derworker for rough chapped, reddened,
blotchy, pimpled, freckled or sallow
skin
Pure powdered saxolite is excellent
for a wrinkled skin An ounce of it dis
solved in a half-pint witch hazel makes
a refreshing wash-lotion This renders
the skill quite firm and smooth; indeed,
the very first application erases the
finer lines: the deeper ones soon fol
low. — Advertisement.
