ROUND-TRIP TICKETS
NO LONGER POPULAR
Few Are Sold at Local Railroad
Stations as Reductions Are
No Longer Offered
Old-time round-trip tickets on rail
road lines are a thing of the past.
Every ticket office had a supply of
two-day trip cardboards, but they are
dead stock. There is no advantage in
buying a round-trip ticket these days
unless one wants the assurance that
it will not be necessary to walk back
home in case the #ash runs out.
At the ticket offices of the Penn
sylvania Railroad and Readins: Rail
way the average sale of round-trip
tickets does not reach 100 a month.
There are some points where probably
a penny, or two or three cents, is
saved by buying a round-trip ticket,
but these bargains are few. Referring
to the passing of the round-trip ticket,
William Henderson, local agent for the
Pennsylvania Railroad, said to-day:
"We haven't given a reduction on a
round-trip ticket for a long time and
there are only a few places in the
country where there is any reduction,
and with these it is only a matter of
a few cents.
"The result has been that few people
care to Invest two straight fares on
the trip, and the occasional round trip
is only sold when the passenger mak
ing a short trip in a hurry wants to
be all ready to Jump on the return
train.
"Of course, the selling of round-trip

mid-May sun, but Commissioner Tay
lor explained some further improve
ments that are planned for that sec
tion during the coming Bummer.
Among the most radical changes will
be the erection of a SIOOO pavilion on
the far slope of Cherry Hill, the ex
treme end of the golf course. This
has been needed for years and the lack
of shelter of some sort in the fai
end of the park has kept lots of small
picnic parties from frequenting that
section.
Another important change will be
[ the ultimate elimination of the sharp
curve in the road just south of Cherry
Hill where the driveway winds almost
iat right angles toward the Market
street entrance to the park. The
t curve is to be broadened and some
"fill" added in such a way as to allow
more room for a turn by motor car 01
| vehicle.
On the Cameron Parkway
The Cameron parkway was next in
| order. A well is being drilled down
i there and some concrete picnic ben
ches and tables are to be installed
(Some of the shrubbery of the park
[ way has been sadly torn up by the
I Spring crek sewer contractor who has
promised to remedy any damage that
may have been done,
j The trip yesterday was laken follow
[ ing a conference between the park
officials and Stucker Brothers' Con
struction company relative to the dis
position of the earth that will be ex
cavated from the Front and Second
street subways. All fold about
10,000 yards will he taken from Front
and probably 20,000 from Second
street. From 8,000 to 10,000 vards
i will be used to fill in the river front
from Mulberry to Iron allev so as to
j insure a uniform line along the wall;
most of th'« however will be dumped
below Paxton street. This "fill" will
, practically cost the city nothing.
What material is left over may b«
I taken over by the city for use on the
: North Front street section above Mac
; lay to Division streets. This would

! haul.

This compilation was authorized by j
the last general assembly as the first j
steps toward ridding the statute books i
of many laws which have been re- i
pealed in part or which have become I
superseded or useless, one of the Ideas \
being to have the general assembly j
act on lists of laws to be repealed. j
The task, which Involved the search
of law books from colonial limes, has
been in the hands of the otflcers and
attaches of the Legislative Refeernce
i Bureau, where the search has been
i going on since the middle of last July,
having been taken up soon after the
adjournment ct the Legislature. Thou
sands of acts hive had to be read and

to be printed will be of much value,
to the Legislature In acting on future
laws.
Decorations Ready. Ninety-one
decorations of veterans of Pennsylva
nia regiments who participated in
wars of the I'nited States have been
received at the adjutant general's de
partment from the War department
for Issue and will be worn on dress
occasions by the Guardsmen, if still in
State service. In the number are one
each for the Civil and Indian wars,
two for the war in China, thirty-six
for the Spanish war and fifty-one for
the Phlllipine war.
Sampling Milk.—Hundreds of sam
ples of the milk and cream furnished
to the cities and boroughs of the State
have been taken in the last fortnight
by agents of the State Dairy and Food
Commissioner and analyses are now in
progress to determine whether they
conform to the State standards of but
ter fats. Every Spring there is a
sampling of the milk by State agents
and the number of violations has been
growing less annually. Last year
hardly a case of use of preservative
was, found.
Tracing Typlioid.—Five children
suffering from typhoid fever have been
admitted to the Chester County Hos
pital within the last two days. All are
scholars in the Embreeville school in
Newlin township, Chester county. In
tracing the source of this outbreak an
official of the State Department of
Health discovered that the school
water supply is obtained from a farm
one-eighth of a mile from the school
house. The boys whose duty it was to
fill the water bucket, to avoid carry
ing it this distance, have falling into
the habit of filling their bucket from
the Brandywine creek. The sewage
from the borough of Coatesville, where
several cases of typhoid fever have
recntly existed, is emptied into this
stream without treatment and the
Health Department officials say that
this might readily account for the epi
demic. In addition to the cases al
ready reported there are a number of
other suspected cases under observa
tion.
Cameron First.—Cameron county was
the first county in the state to file the
official return of the primary election
on Tuesday. The return was received
just before the department of the Sec
retary of the Commonwealth closed
for the week and will be tabulated
on Monday.
Appointments.—Alfred P. Newell. Jr..

here for some time, however.
Begin June I.—The Economy and
Efficiency Commission will start its
investigation of matters on Capitol
Hill on June 1. The data from de
partments will be in hand by that
time.
Governor Sits Up.—Governor Tener

he strained the muscles of his back.
The Governor has been kept quiet by
his physicians, but except for the in
jury to his back is in line shape, lie

Warden Hero.—Warden John Fran

at the Capitol this week on business.
Powell's Complaint.—Auditor Gen

statement issued at the department
says that Highway Commissioner Bige

tract in the case.
After Coatesville. The Attorney
General has been requested to begin
suit against the borough of Coates
ville for its failure to dbey the decree
of the Commissioner of Health, Sam
uel G. Dixon, and file plans of the ex
isting system of sewerage and plans
for sewage disposal. A recently re
ported epidemic of typhoid fever at
Embreeville has been traced to sewage
from Coatesville, which at the present
time is turned without treatment into

Mediators Embarrassed
by Public Questioning
By Associated Press
Niagara Falls, Ont., May 23. A
great deal of embarrassment is felt bj
the envoys of Brazil, Argentine and
Chile, as well as by the delegates ol
the Washington and Mexico City gov
i ernments, because of the impatience oi
. the public which is awaiting an ad
justment of the Mexican question,
' Every day they are overwhelmed with
inquiries as to the part the consti
' tutionalists may play in the negotia.
tions looking to the composition ol
' differences between lluerta and th«
. United States and similar questions,
The most persistent relate to the ftu
: tare of lluerta and whether his resig«,
i nation has been demanded. As .1
■ matter of fact not one of the vital
issues has been reached.
After separate sessions last nighl
I with delegates from Mexico and th«
i United States, the. mediators said theji
I believed they were almost ready to
proceed in the popular acceptance oi
the term.
Notwithstanding Introductions in

' eminent came together practically a 9
* individual strangers and also with ini>
" perfect knowledge of the issues to b«
j presented. As in all negotiations oi

- consumed in becoming acquainted and
