Uil REUNION OF GILIILEN CLISS Remarkable Gathering of Grad uates of 1850 in Famous Me chanicsburg Institution Special to Tht Telegraph Mechanicsburg, Pa., June 18.—A delightful event of yesterday morn ing was the alumnae reunion of the Gillelen school, a former educational institution in Mechanicsburg, of the class of 1850, at the home of Mrs. Roberi H. Thomas, Sr., a member, in West Main street. It was an informal gathering and the first in the history of the class. The guests were re ceived by Mrs. Estella Thomas Steele, and Mrs. Joseph B. Angut,. Reminis cences of school days of the early period and comparisons of modern day teaching were indulged in by tho ladies, who, though all beyond the three score and ten years of age, were once more in their teens. The program was given as follows: Song, "Aund Lang Syne"; prayer; welcome from the hostess, Mrs. An nette Kimmei Thomas; response, by chairman, Mrs. Mary Ann Strock Shearer; class history, Mrs. Lydia Ha verstick Longsdorf; song, "Old Folks at Home"; reminiscent talks, Mrs. Martha Oliver Ewalt, Mrs. Sarah Coo ver Hood, Mrs. Mary Reigle Zachar ias and Mrs. Mary Ellen Sadler Sing er; song, "Happy Girls"; letters of re gret read by Mrs. J.

In the cities there are maternity hospitals equipped with modern methods. But most women prefer their own homes and in the towns and villages must prefer them. And since this is true we know from the great many splendid letters written on the subject that our "Mother's Friena" Is a great help to expectant They write of tlio wonderful relief, how it seemed to allow the muscles to expand without undue strain and what a splendid influence it was on the nervous system. Such helps as "Mother's Friend" and the broader knowledge of them should have a helpful Influence upon babies of the future. Science says that an infant derives its sense and builds its character from cutaneous impressions. And a tranquil mother certainly will transmit a more healthful influence than if she is ex tremely nervous from undue pain.

Faculty Member Who Burned Pardee Hall Sent Out of Easton Special to The Telegraph Easton, Pa„ June 18.—There was a sensation at the Lafayette commence ment exercises yesterdav, when George H. Stephens, a former member of the faculty, who served a long sen tence in prison for burning Pardee Hall, w&lked into the auditorium and took a conspicuous seat in the gallery. Informed of his presence, Chief Hughes, City Detective Miller and Mayor Nevln quietly slipped into seats near Stephens and watched his every movement. He never took his eyes from Dr. Warfield, enmity for whom caused him to burn the building and ruin other college property. At the close of the exercises, police escorted him to the Lehigh Valley sta tion and put him on a train for the West. He violated an order of the court by coming to Eaaton without ob taining permission from the police de partment.

An Easy Way to Get Fat and Be Strong The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing on use less "flesh creams," or following some foolish physical culture stunt, while the real cause of thinness goes un touched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract assimilates the food you eat. Thanks to a remarkable new scien tific discovery, it is now possible to combine into simple form the very ele ments qeeded by the digestive organs to help them convert food into rich, fat laden blood. This master-stroke ot modern chemistry is called Sargol and has been termed the greatest of flesh builders. Sargol aims through its re generative, reconstructive powers to coax the stomach and intestines to lit erally soak up the fattening elements of your food and pass them into the blood, where they are carried to every starved, broken-down cell and tissue of your body. You can readily picture the result when this amazing transfor mation has taken place and you notice how your cheeks fill out. hollows about your neck, shoulders and bust disap pear and you take on from 10 to 20 pounds of solid, healthy flesh. Sargol Is absolutely harmless, inexpensive, ef ficient. George A. Gorgas and other leading druggists of Harrisburg and vicinity have it and will refund your money if you are not satisfied, as per the guarantee found In every pack age. Caution:— While Sargol has given ex cellent results in overcoming nervous dyspepsia and general stomach troubles it should not be taken by those who do not wish to gain ten pounds or more.— Advertisement.

MISSION BOARD OF DIOCESE 111 SESSION Are Entertained by Bishop Darling ton at Luncheon—Autos For Missionaries Discussed «aa| O shall the parson on his circuit wide improve each lonely hour and carry to the countryside his word by motor power? •* ..li j Shall autos of ap wM proved design his pre i • MM- cious time employ; or ..'i/AjnV shall he use the means i Wbml* eighteen fouh? This question was discussed when the board of missions of t r the diocese of Harris burg foregathered yes terday. It was after Bishop Darling ton had been the host at a luncheon to the board that they transacted busi ness in a parlor in the Commonwealth Hotel. Some time ago—at the diocesan convention In Lancaster. In fact—this idea of autos was suggested. It was pointed out that by the use of ma chines missioners could serve four churches, whereas they now serve but two. In short, they could double their efficiency by conserving their time. However, some of the clergy were afraid that auto tires and accessories would eat up considerable hard cash which might be needed otherwise. Hence the experiment will be watched with considerable interest, as one or two of the missionaries are now tra versingl the more remote parts of the diocese in autos. The board attended services in the bishop's chapel this morning before taking luncheon. These were present: F. K. Lukenbach, Tyrone; G. N. Reyn olds, Lancaster; H. R. Hinkle, Al toona; the Rev. R. F. Gibson, Trinity, Williamsport; the Rev. Arthur R. Tay lor, St. John's, York; the Rev. George R. Bishop, St. Luke's, Altoona; the Rev. Jerry Baker, general missionary, Selinsgrove; Venerable Alexander Mc- Millan, Carlisle. Also present as guests were the Rev. Dr. Floyd Appleton, St. Paul's, this city, and the Rev. H. A. Lollis. of Steelton. Routine business was dispatched. The appearance of the first number of volume 4 of the Harrisburg Church man, official diocesan paper, and now edited by the Rev. Floyd Appleton, of St. Paul's, was the occasion of much favorable comment. After the meet ing Bishop Darlington and family took an afternoon train to spend the sum mer in Newport, R. I.

PLATFORM MAKERS START THEIR TASK Plan the Draft at a Conference Held in Philadelphia Late Yesterday Afternoon A tentative agreement upon the principal topics to be touched upon in the Republican platrorm was agreed upon yesterday at tne initial meeting of the committee on platform of the Renublican State committee, held at the headquarters In Philadelphia. Former Lieutenant Governor Walter Lyon, of Pittsburgh; Senator William C. Sproul, of Chester, and former Con gressman Josiah D. Hicks, of Altoona, were named as a subcommittee to prepare a draft of a platform to be submitted for action Dy the general committee. The other members of the committee are: John R. Halsey, Wilkes-Barre, chairman; David B. Johns, Pittsburgh; James L. Marstel ler, Allentown; William G. O'Malley, Scranton; Augustus H. Gaffney, Kane and Blake McCaughn and Raymond MacNeille, Philadelphia. State Chairman William E. Crow, candidate for Lieutenant Governor; Frank B. McClain, of Lancaster and nominees for Congressmen-at-larg;; Daniel F. Lafean, of York; M. M. Gar land, of Pittsburgh, and John R. K. Scott, of Philadelphia, were also pres ent. No date was fixed for the subcom mittee to make a report. Penrose on the Platform Senator Penrose made this state ment about the platform: "There is entire harmony among the Republican candidates and the Repub lican State committee. "It would be ridiculous to suppose that any utterance of the Republican State committee would disagree with in any way the pledges of successful candidates made prior to the primary election. "This observation would apply more particularly to the platforms promul gated by the candidates for United States Senator and Governor. "These candidates won by large ma jorities on the issues presented by them, and any subsequent expression of the Republican State committee would, of course, be affirmative and in sympathy with -ucfi declarations. "There will be an effort to have a thorough discussion among representa tive Republicans throughout Pennsyl vania as to what other declarations should be incorporated in a platform by the State committee. "An effort will be made to get the best Republican sentiment on the Na tional, State and local issues involved. The platform will be the result of full and free discussion and not like the cut-and-dried affairs exhibited in the action of the two other parties. "It is therefore absolutely prema ture to forecast, even in a most tenta tive way, any detail of a further dec laration of principles. "The Republican party has always exercised great deliberation in the preparation of party policies, and will at this time follow precedent in that respect."

JBt « Prncltdag Physician R , * Medicine and KlectrlcUy T Practice Confined to Office only 105-A Market Street Passing Impressions of Finance By H. L. Bennet It Is expected that the Interstate, Commerce Commission will very soon j decide the long delayed question j whether the railroads are entitled to I increase their freight charges. If the' decision comes at all It will have to i come before the end of the month, for j after that date the commission will ad-I journ and not reconvene until late In the Fall. Everyone at all concerned with financial affairs even remotely has hung his hopes upon a favorable i adjudication for the railroads in their plea for more pay for their services, since they are now compelled to buy all their supplies from hand-to-mouth and employ fewer workers than ever before because of reduced revenue re- . turns and a poor credit. What the new members of the com- | i mission have in mind no one, not even I those high in the councils of the big j politiical leaders or financiers can say. I I Not in years has there appeared so! little information which might throw : some light upon what might happen. I All sources from which a leak for ad- ! vance news might be expected to spring have been effectually sealed up. | Wall Street, in consequence, has had to feed on rumors for months, every one of which has petered out. Still the railroads have made out a very strong case on its merit solely and this fact has created confidence that they will win out, even though they may not get all they have asked for. | There is, however, another side to l the rate question. Will it, when it j finally comes and is favorable, cause ; an instant revival in business and be come a prelude to another period of: prosperity? A good many observers believe the decision will have no mag ical effect. That it will Influence sen timent favorably there is no doubt, but actual business requires as a stim ulant more than mere "Sunshine." It needs business orders, with profit in them. In this connection the crops will have the final influence for good or ill. So far the weather is working in league with business and if this alliance is not interfered with before the harvest is in, then the railroads, if favored with a right to charge a little j bit more, will then be in a position I to hand out some very large orders for rails, equipment and improvements. ] There are three industries aside from labors which count among the rail roads their most important customers. These are steel, coal and iron. How they have suffered because of the in ability of the railroads to buy their material in large quantities, can best be answered by their decreased ton nage. Not In years has their output reached such small proportions, as in the last twelve months. To these im portant industries at least a rate In crease would come like heaven sefnt manna to rejuvenate them. How nettled businessmen feel about the constant meddling by politics in business is indicated by a speech re cently made by Frank Vanderlip, the president of our largest national bank, the National City, wherein he advised businessmen to enter more actively into politics with a purpose to fill some of the important government posts. The idea is not new. There is no ob stacle in the way of businessmen of fering themselves to their constituency for important offices, but for business men to organize as businessmen to go Into politics and fight candidates whose record they do not like, as Mr. Vanderlip suggests, •would bring down upon them more criticism than would be possible under any other circum stances. Businessmen as Individuals may go as far as they like In voting against candidates who have given thorn cause to fight them, but we do not want any more exposures such as •nine with the scandalous revelations before Congress last year in the Mul hall-National Manufacturers' Associa tion inquiry. The outflow of our gold to foreign capitals has gained such totals as to alarm some students of international finance. But the extraordinary outflow I* not hard to understand and it is perfectly natural. Our exports have, as the result of the depression in Eu rope, due to the Balkan war drains, fallen to negligible proportions, and at the same time, our imports, by rea son of the lower American tariff, have very largely increased. The balance against us in this respect is upwards of $80,000,000 as compared with last year.

They thus help swell the bai anco against us and we are also ship ping much gold to pay for our securi ties dumped upon us by hard-up Eu rope. We are going through a dull period in business and this makes money rates cheap here, so we are the easiest money market in the world at this time. Military-ridden Europe is again in a fever of anxiety over the future and all the gr<iat capitals of the Continent are hoarding gold like old misers in preparation for they know not what. In such a state of affairs there is nothing for us to do but let the gold go. When our crops are gar nered and it is found we have enough to feed ourselves and provide a huge | exportable surplus at low prices, we will get a good deal of that gold back again. The movement could go some distance further and do no great dam age. Considering the languishing condi tion of general business, the public utility interests of the country have no reason to complain of conditions. An important investment house has lately compiled a record of prices of a num ber of representative railroad, munici pal and public utility bonds from 1907 to and including 1913, and the average show that while the railroad bonds have fallen in the period named from 90 to 89, and the average of munici pals from 96% to 92%, the average of the public utility bonds has risen from 98% to 98%. But this Is not all that is encourag ing for the public utilities. The mar ket for public utility preferred shares has taken a spurt recently and the leading issues are up from 2 to 16 points from the levels of a month ago The American Gas and Electric Com pany has been so prosperous that last week it announced an extra stock divi dend of 2 per cent, which it is believed will be paid quarterly. Western Power directors are now said to be consider ing a plan for paying in stock all the accumulated dividends on the pre ferred stock, amounting to 18 per cent and then paying the full cash dividend from 1915 on. The stock pays nothing I now. The capitalization will he rear j ranged to permit this. Prop prospects are very encouraging to all public utility interests. Canada is having a mild taste of what we got in 1907. The Grenfell failure and the failure of the Montreal loan in the London market have hurt Dominion securities considerably and a dull period of some length is likely before the recuperation sets in. The truth is the Canadian boom was great ly overdone as It was bound to be. with two great transcontinental roads, the Canadian Pacific, pushing every where and with thousands of Ameri cans and Britishers pouring in from every side. The illusions of sudden wealth have vanished and It Is now realized that it will take much steady national effort to build up the DomJn ion to the levels which the boomers had In mind and the situation sound and the reaction is bound to be bene ficial In the end.
