CITY MOURNS TO-DAY TWO ot the most prominent and | useful citizens of Harrisburg | were removed front their spheres of activity by death to * Jay. Both had contributed much to the betterment of this community and •the city has sustained a great loss that must be felt more and more as the ■work of these men is better under stood and appreciated. John Y. Boyd and Professor L. S. Shimmell were typical of the finest litizenship of Harrisburg. They had given to the community that which •was best in them and civic, religious snd educational 'circles will feel the departure of these excellent citizens in many ways. They were men of the highest chris tian character whose ideals found ex pression in the support of men and measures in the up-building of the sub stantial and esthetic interests of the city. Mr. Boyd was greatly interested in civic affairs, and was one of the earnest group which assumed leadership in the great improvement campaign in 1901. He was also foremost in the erection of the present Y. M. C. A. building and was also active in the work of tho Y. W. C. A., having presided at tho noonday luncheons which were a fea ture of the campaign that resulted in providing funds for the new building. He was also general superintendent of ono of the larger Sunday schools of the city and was a ruling elder in one of the churches. His most important public service was as a member of the first State Railroad Commission. He likewise had demonstrated his in terest in that which is best for the community in serving as a road super visor In one of the contiguous town- Chips. ' Mr. Boyd was sympathetic and cor dial in his associations in life and he gave freely and generously of his time and means to the advancement of the public welfare. ■ Only those who were close to him can appreciate best the nobility of his character and the hreadth and depth of his human sym pathies. The loss of such a man is so overwhelming as to make difficult a Sjroper tribute to Ills worth and use fulness as a citizen. He achieved much in a quiet and unostentatious way which will constitute the best record of his life. Professor Shimmell was most con spicuous in his career as an educator. He was essentially a scholar and as a member of the faculty of the Central High school and later as a city super visor of the schools he gave to Har risburg the fruits of liis more mature experience and learning. Through out the city to-day there is deep sor row, not only among tho staff of teachers, but also among the thou sands of girls and bovs who learned to love and appreciate the modest, pa tient and devoted exponent of that ■which is best in our public school sys tem. He was known far and wide as a broad-minded educator whose writ ings and teachings made his name a household word far beyond the limits of the city in which he did his splendid •work. Professor Shimmell was an authority in history and the files of the Tele graph contain many Important articles on historical subjects which will prove to be of much value In the years to come. A kindly, unobtrusive and excellent gentleman has passed out, and like Mr. Boyd, that which he was doing in a quiet way will be best un derstood when there shall be oppor tunity to study the career that has now been closed. When any community loses two Bitch men in the same hour it is stricken indeed, but such lives do not «nd with the passing; they live on and the indelible Impress of their service will remain throughout the years. DON'T GKT EXCITED NEWS dispatches tell us that Mrs. VV. K. Vunderbilt, Jr., has set a style for simplicity at Palm Reach by appearing in a flu anit which she selei ted in preference t« mors elaborate sannents submit ted for her approval. After returning the <-o»tl> clothing sin- walked into a MONDAY EVENING, i small shop and bought a black dress of conventional cut. With the ex ception of a collar of green and white, it was severely plain in comparison with the very elaborate suits being worn this season. Possibly Mrs. Vanderbllt felt as pleasurable a thrill In her $lO dress as some of her $lO sisters would in one of Mrs. Vanderbllt's gorgeous crea tions. Let us not believe that demo cracy lias been born suddenly full grown in our millionaire set. The lady was enjoying a new sensation; that was all. GOOD ADVICE THE Telegraph has had always a strong admiration for tho care ful, conservative policies of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers, unquestionably one of the most ably managed labor unions in the world. The following, from a re cent speech of Thomas Fitcli, vice- J president of that brotherhood, but 1 adds to that good opinion: If you don't like the law, then use your votes to change it. But while it is a law, drop the club and knife and tho gun and the dyna mite bomb and obey the law. If there is a worker who has what you consider to be bad taste and the poor judgment not to belong to a union, you are not obliged to as ] sociate with him or greet him with friendliness when you meet. But you are obliged not to assault or molest him. He may be, in your opinion, a scab, but he has a legal right to be a scab If he chooses. He lias a legal right to work for whomsoever he pleases, and for whatever number of hours in each day he pleases. Persuade liini to stand by his fellow-workman if you can. That is your right. But keep your hands off him. Tou may bo sure that if you attempt violence there will step to the front a Dep uty United States Marshal who will say to you with a voice of 75,000,- 000 of people, and with the bayo -1 nets of an army behind him, "Let that man pass to his labors." j I say to you, gentlemen, and I say ) it in all seriousness, that if tills Government is to endure, this thing must stop, for no Government can permanently endure which long permits bands of insurrectionists to override the constitutional rights of its citizens, as this body of vam pires has been doing. Spoken like an American citizen and | a far-sighted patriot. Violence and [ mob-rule may be in entire accord with such organizations as the I. W. W., but they have no part in any trades union that has for its purpose the true interests of its fellows and the advancement of civilization. "Starting to-day the mines of the Lehigh Coal Company will work full time."—News item. Is It possible those pesky coal operators have Inside in formation from the weather bureau ? CHINA AND OPIUM WE should not judge too harshly of the new Republican form of government in China be cause of a recent press dis patch setting forth details of the exe cution of several violators of the new opium regulation. Nobody unacquaint ed with present day conditions in that country and the difficulty of blotting out the opium curse is in position to pass upon tho manner of punishing those who refuse to be bound by the mandates of President Yuan and the national congress in their efforts to annihilate the drug scourge of the nation. Yuan Shih-kai is seriously deter mined opium smoking shall cease to be in China. Elaborate stops have been taken to continue the "empire days" propaganda against opium, to prohibit and suppress opium-growing and the use of the drug. In order to make it perfectly clear that he is in earnest, Yuan Shih-kai decreed that deliberate violation of the anti-opium laws should be punished by the ex treme capital penalty. China, unfortunately, in earlier times was afflicted by too great fa miliarity with the public executioner. A certain not very considerable, but still hurtful, proportion of the Chinese populace has been taught through generations to regard all punishments, short of death, much as many of our own gunmen in the big cities regard all but the electric chair or hanging, with the sangfroid of ignorance or de pravity. Yuan Shih-kai and his representa tive council In Peking realize this. Without exception every political and social entity in China recognizes the opium evil and lauds President Yuan for his vigor in coping with it. And they laud him the more because he lives up to the letter of his decrees. From quite reliable sources, It seems! that several executions have taken place in several widely distant parts of China —about four or five, to be precise. Will it not be worth while if, through the decapitation of four or five incorrlgibles, President Yuan Shih-kai can save China's 4 00,000,- 000 men, women and children from the awful curse of the opium habit; and, like another Moses, lead his peo ple out of tho worst possible sort of slavery? Now that he has consulted a Phila delphia eye specialist, possibly Presi dent Wilson will be able to see a way out of the Mexican muddle. HOUSING OUR GUESTS THOSE in charge of the State firemen's convention here next Fall do well to lay their plans now for the accominoda dation of visitors who are expected by the thousand to attend the great gath ering. On ordinary occasions, with no big meetings in town, it is not uncommon to have all the hotels filled by 8.30 in the evening. We must have room for the many who will be with us in October. There is only one way to make sure of this. Owners of private residences must be prepared to "throw open" their homes to the strangers. In no other way can we hope to properly house the city's guests on that occasion. We would like to know why that cor respondent felt called upon to announce a revolution in Brazil and the fact that Colonel Roosevelt is having an enjoy able experience bolli under the same dale line Popular dames have taken the Na tional Capital by storm says a society item in » Washington newspaper. The Wilson administration doubtless ap proves the "hesitation" wall* CEATI One of these days, when Uncle Sam commences to get rid of lost motion in the postal service, the wisdom of the people who ure arranging for a larger government building in this city will be apparent. The plan to spend considerable money in making the addition to the big white federal build ing two stories beyond what was planned by the architects of the de partment is by 110 means caused by deslro to have a largo structure or to make the district loom up among those which have received appropriations, but is in fact based 011 a careful esti mate of what is coming in the llarrls burg Post Office. The average man who sees the bags being thrown in and out of the temporary building at Third and Locust streets probably never thinks that this office is the distributing point for a number of smaller towns and that it is the place where the supplies for many offices arc kept. As a matter of fact, this city's post office handles the mail l'or thirty-live other post offices, the bags being handled by trolley. The mail is made up for them .lust like it is made up for the Hill or Maclay stations and as it will bo made up for the new post office in tho Capitol. Thus the Harrisburg Post Office is the center of a network of lines, and one of these days Uncle Sam is going to abolish tho expensive system of separate offices in the surrounding towns and is going to have the whole business handled here with substations in various convenient neighborhoods. The stamps, envelopes, blanks and other things needed to run offices are all sent from hero to the neighboring offices, together with the mall, and the organization will be made closer one of these days. In fact, it may not be so far oft. Capitol Park was the happy hunt ing ground of the amateur photogra phers on Saturday morning when the trees and shubbery were white with the clinging masses of the snow. Right after the ghostly mist that accom panied the dawn began to disappear and people saw the beauty of the snow-covered trees and bushes in the park thero was no time lost to get pic tures before the sun got to work. The Barnard statuary was adorned in the most remarkable manner, most of the snow clinging In masses that made ' grotesque objects out of the "frozen 1 emotion" of the worker in marble The HartruHft statue as shown by tho Telegraph photographer on Saturday looked like a spook on horseback and the Mexican monument resembled 1 Cleopatra's Needle frescoed in dazzling white. Some exceedingly fine views ot the park ore being shown by people who were fortunate enough to snap them before 10 o'clock. No announcement made by the new City Commissioners since they have assumed office will create more appre ciation outside of Harrisburg than that the stretch of Derry street be tween Eighteenth and Twenty-third streets is to be paved this year. Hun dreds of people in Philadelphia, Pitts burgh, Heading and other cities, to say nothing of numerous visitors from other States, will hail this announce ment with pleasure, and as for the people of this city who have a jealous pride in the magnificent area of paved highway, they will no longer have to dodge the oratorical brickbats of peo ple who have come into Harrisburg bj> Its eastern gate. This portion of Derry street connects within a quarter of a mile with the main highway of the State system to the east, the road over which comes the bulk of the heavy automobile travel from the eastern and northern parts of the State and over which travel the great majority of visitors going to Philadelphia. The portion to be paved is one of the worst stretches of highway of any city in the State, a street whose condition Is in such sharp contrast to the re mainder of the city that It has brought down maledictions on the city from people who had otherwise found every thing to praise. With the Cumberland highways improved, the Riverside road made one of the best in the ; country and the lower end connecting ; with the long stretch of pavement in Steelton, Derry street furnished one of the singular examples of municipal neglect that overcome many other commendable features. Maybe some of the new councilmen have ridden • over it lately and can appreciate what it is like. kwgLL-Known^pgePL6^l —Dr. W. H.

As a grail is the gleam of thy towers and the glow of The Great White Way, And a thousand ships have sailed and sailed to the lure of the lights on the Bay, And the spell of thy song, O Enchant ress, is sweet on the Southern air, And the shepherd fur out on the plains feels tne sting of thy hair. Thou art young with the youth of them, strong with the strength of them, filled with the beauty of girls: Thy throat where the River gleams Is beaded with lamps as with pearls; And the languor of night is around theu and the waters riso and fall, And over invisible bridges slow lire worms crawl. And the ferries that glide o'er the Bay, o'er the rivers that lave The feet of thy emerald towers, are lighted swans on the wave. As Merlin had walked on thy waters, or T'rospero's eye Were watching alternate old cities line 1 out on the sky. 1- Edwin Davies Hchoonmaker in The 1 Smart Pet.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPfI DETRIGH AFRAID OF PARTIT MACHINE Seems to Think That It Is in Danger of Being Stolen Some Dark Evening DEMOCRATS ARE UP IN THE AIR Various Men Likely to Take Notion to Enter the Primaries Against Slate Judging; from the remarks being made by A. Nevin Detrlch, chairman of the Washington party State com mittee, the Chambersburger is very much afraid that some one will walk off with the remnants of the party of which he is the titular head. There has been such a heavy movement among Bull Moosers to return to their former allegiance that the movement inside of the Washington party to name Brumbaugh for Governor has scared the young Franklin countlan. A statement issued yesterday de clares that there is an effort under way to take away what is left and a frantic appeal is made for the Bull Moosers to stand firm. Yesterday word went out from the headquarters that the Bull Moosers needed money to run their campaign and needed it badly. Pllnn is still in the South and no one seems to be coming across. William Abbot Witman, of Heading, and Judge John M. Garman, of Wilkes-Barre, may be candidates for the Democratic nomi nation for Senator Witman und against Congressman (iaiinan May A. Mitchell Palmer. Enter Race Papers for Witman are now in circulation in Berks county, but it is said that they are not being taken seriously. Garman will be a danger ous antagonist if he gets into the light and Palmer is said to be worried over such an outcome. The Demo cratic ringmasters will be here on Thursday to talk over matters and will probably frame up the rest of the slate. Saturday a meeting was held in Philadelphia to boom Palmer and McCormick, Col. "Bill" Fairman, of Punxsutawney, being one of the prime movers. G. Dallas Fox, a Milton merchant, and a past exalted ruler of the order of Elks, has announced himself as a candidate for the Demo cratic nomination for the office of State Senator to Lively Days succeed John T.
