BRUMBAUGH MAY
BE ONLY CANDIDATE
FOR NOMINATION
AH Elements of the Republican
Party Are United For the
Philadelphia Man
Republicans of every way of think
ing appear to be lining up behind Dr.
Martin G. Brumbaugh for the Repub
lican nomination for Governor, and It
is believed that the announcement of
Ms candidacy will find a concerted
movement in his behalf all over the
State, and that many Washington
party men and Democrats will quietly
lend their support to his election. The
most significant phase of the situation
is that no matter how Republicans
differ on the sonatorshlp, they seem
to be united in regard to the guberna
torial nomination, the State ticket urn]
election of congressmen and legisla
tors.
Present indications are that the peo
ple who arc behind J. Benjamin Dim
niick for the senatorial nomination
will support Dr. Brumbaugh with
hearty good will, several of them ad
mitting that tie 1s tho logical candi
date.
In this connection it is interesting
to note this dispatch from Pittsburgh:
"According to statements made hero,
to-day by County Commissioner O'Neil
and Speaker Alter, of the House of
Representatives, Dr. Martin G. Brum

BLACKBOARD METHOD PRAISED
Special School Instructor Finds It
Good Thing to Make Students
"Get on Their Own Legs"
[This is the second of two ar
ticles on the "special" schools of
Harrisburg designed to give excep
tionally blight pupils opportunity
for rapid advancement.]
By Mrs. Anna H. Wood
In all schools, as well a» the
"special," there are two kinds of
pupils among the good workers, those
who grasp readily only to later forget
and those who are slow to learn but
who retain the knowledge. Teachers
everywhere prefer the latter type of
child, for when examination day comes
he shows to far better advantage the
months of work and care expended
upon him.
It is only natural for tests given by a
school supervisor to frighten or un
nerve a school. To offset this the
teachers in charge of the exceptionally
bright children make it a rule to give
them weekly tests on their various
studies so that the dreaded unexpected
visitor will find them prepared. Miss
A. May Tittle, of the Relly building,
considers blackboard work the very
best method of trying out a pupil.

pin, son of Jean Richepin, the "im
mortal," and Pierre Frondaie, author
of a play now being performed in

Madame Cora Laparcerie. who is co

lawn of a house in the suburb ol;
Xeuilly. More than a hundred nota
blo literary and dramatic men watched
the combat from behind hedges and
windows, while numerous reporters,
photographers and moving picture
operators occupied a loft overlooking
the lawn.
The wives of both principals ap
peared on the scene, but were not al
lowed to watch the combat. They
remained In the road outside in their
automobiles, where they were sur
rounded by crowds of women friends.
They could hear the sounds of the
clashing of swords from where they
sat.
During the second, M. Richepin's
sword penetrated M. Fron dale's fore
arm and the engagement was brought
to an end.
Jean Richepin then embraced his
son and his wife threw herself Into
his arms, khlle Madame Frondaie
helped the surgeon to dress her hus
band's wound.
The combatants left the ground
without being reconciled.

One-fifth of a mill per dollar on
the gross volume of business trans
acted—the present city mercantile
license tax rate —will likely be re
tained for the future in the proposed
new license tax ordinance.
The measure, which was introduced
a few weeks ago in City Council and
upon which final action was postponed
pending a discussion of the different
provisions with the Chamber of Com
merce, the Rotary Club and other rep
resentative business organizations and
individuals, provided for an increase
of the rate to a full mill.
For the last several days City So
licitor t). S. Seitz and John T. Olmsted,
counsel for the Chamber of Com

have been conferring upon the various
rates and It was announced to-day
that the present figure will likely re
main as it now is. The SIOO maximum
limit will not be taken off, however.
This concession had also been asked
by the merchants.
While the question of Just how much
the 1914 budget will provide is still
to be definitely settled, it is said that
about $509,000 will be needed, and
that the present rate of 9% mills will
be required to cover this sum.
In addition to the usual provision
for conducting the city's government
for the next nine months the budget!
will also carry approximately $55,000
for the payment of the Indebtedness
for paving in front of nonassessable
properties.

The Double
Guarantee
When you buy a standard, na
tionally advertised article from a
merchant of standing and charac
ter you are buying with double
protection to yourself.
You havo a double guarantee
to fall back on—that of the man
ufacturer ami that of the man
who sells the goods.
Voil of course haVe to deal
only with the store from which
you buy. the store, in turn, looks
to the manufacturer to make
good for any deficiency.
It Is not often that anyone will
have need of the guarantee; for
when a thing is sold by guch
open and above-board methods
It is going to be as nearly right
as it can possibly be made.
There is a protection In buying
advertised goods that there Isn't
In buying those which are not
advertised.
The best guide to reliable buy
ing Is the advertising in live
newspapers like the Telegraph.
More people are reading adver
tising every day because it pays.
