Harrisburg School Sketches
BY J. HOWARD WERT
- So * 2 —How the Black Horse Tavern Became the Harris Park School
Building. Some Faithful Teachers or the Cast. Some Small
School Buildings That Have Passed Away. Elections In tlie Old
time School houses
In the last number I told of the time
when the Boas and Verbeke school
buildings stood forth In the freshness
of their youth as the "ne plus ultra"
of school architecture. Yet was not
their erection accomplished without
fierce opposition. The North Ward
School Board came In for a vast deal
of censure, for the tribe of • kickers" is
no evolution of our present high
pressure civilization, but its members
were as numerous and as clamorous
in the sixties of the last century as
now.
"What in the name of sense," said
these croakers of a former day, "is
the use of building an enormous
schoolhouse up there in Billy Ver
hcke's marshes where nobody much
lives and where there won't be much
of a town for fifty years to come?"
But Dr. J. H. Fager, Daniel D. Boas,
A. Boyd Hamilton, Dr. C. Seiler,
Charles Muench and their associates
were not the men to be swayed from
line of duty by impetuous clamor.
Soon the good seed they had sown
in the erection of these buildings bore
fruit in other portions of our city.
The Black Horse Tavern and the
Harris Park School
In the list of school buildings of
1874, published in the last number of
this series, appears the name Harris
Park. But it was not the Harris Park
building of to-day, but a large, ram
bling frame building, on the same
site, that had been known for genera
tions as the Black Horse Tavern,
which had been bought some years
before for school purposes.
A famous hostelry was this same
Black Horse Tavern in the davs when
the river was brisk with arks and
rafts; when the Conestoga wagons
filled the pikes, being ferried over the
Susquehanna at this point as they
wended their slow way to distant Phil-,
adelphia; when other Conestogas, filled
with ' household stuff," were crossing
the river here, pressing on, from thick
ly settled Chester, and Lancaster, and
Berks, to found new homes and woo
fortune amid the valleys of the Blue
Ridge or along the headwaters of the
Ohio; when daily the drovers were
conducting vast herds of cattle
through Harrisburg on the wearisome
march to the seaboard cities.
One of the Black Horse landlords
of this olden time was a certain Simeon
Westfall, who had once been among
the staunchest of the teamsters who
crossed the Alleghenies to far away
Pittsburgh. His daughter, a sunny
lass, sported joyously through the
halls of the busy hotel. A number of
years ago the Harrisburg papers
chronicled the celebration of her
golden wedding as the wife of
Emanuel S. German.
In 1874 the former hotel building
was no longer in the days of its glory.
In its dilapidation it had become both
woe-begono and dangerous. A very
few years later the good seed of ex
ample sown in the erection of the Boas
and 'Verbeke buildings bore fruitage
In its disappearance forever, to be re
placed by the present commodious
Harris Park school building.
A lYilmte to the Harris Park Teachers
But the teachers in this relic of for
mer days labored as honestly and
earnestly with the sturdy lads and
smiling lassies of the First Ward as if
they had been located in a palace with
every convenience that the builder's
art could give them. These teachers
in 1874 were Missefe Angie M. Patton
and Lizzie Buehler, both married sub
sequently to prominent citisens of
Harrisburg; Miss Annie M. Freaner.
afterwards the wife of Lieutenant
Howard D. Potts, himself one of the
most efficient school directors Harris
burg ever had; John L. Bates. Isaac-
Lloyd and Frederick U. Worley.
The three gentlemen last mentioned,
after long and honorable careers as!
educators, have all passed over the |
river. Mr. Bates at the time of his I
death was an alderman in our city, I
while Mr. Worley had long held a re- I

Small Sciiooi Buildings
There was a time in Uariisburg, as
in many other Pennsylvania towns,
when either supposed economy or bad
judgment made it akin to a religious
duly to place all school buildings in
alleys where land was cheapest; and
the narrower and dirtier the alley the
better. That time had passed in 1874.
But there were still many small build
ings used for school purposes, some of
which at least were poorly ventilated
and not well equipped for school use.
Three of these in close proximity were
the Front street school, at the corner
of Front and Mary streets; the Chest
nut street building, at the corner of
Chestnut and Dewberry, and the Ger
man building, on a portion of the pres
ent site of the Stevens building in
Chestnut street between Kront and
Second. The two first mentioned have
long since ceased to be school prop
erties.
The teachers in the little Front
street building in 1874 were Misses
Jennie Robinson and Emma F.
Hunter. Many, many years have
elapsed since weeping friends passed
before the colfln ol Miss Hunter as
she lay in her last dreamless rest in
the audience room of Grace Methodist
Church. It has been but a few months
since Miss Robinson went to her re
ward. Both were noble teachers of
whom it could be truly said:
None knew them but to love them,
None named them but to praise."
Elections in Sclioollioiises
It was a rule of ethics in the olden
'time Harrisburg to hold all elections in
schoolhouses if the election district
was so fortunate as to have one. The
"Young America" of that day never
objected, for all schools were closed
on election day and the youth who
was so fortunate as to be enrolled
as a scholar in a room used for polling
purposes got a double holiday, as the
next day was devoted by the janitor
to removing the tobacco quids, cigar
butts and other evidences of enthusi
asm and patriotism of the voters who
had saved the country the day before.
The building at Chestnut and Dew
berry was long the polling place of th>>
undivided Third Ward, and there I
have seen such staunch Democrats as
B. P. Meyers and Frank Boehmer put
up strenuous battle for their party
against S. S. Chllds, Charles H. Berg
ner and other foemen worthy of their
steel.

I Joyful Anticipation
of Motherhood
There is apt to be a latent apprehension
Of distress to mar the complete Joy of
expectation. But this is quite overcome
by the advice of so many women to use
"Mother a Friend." This is an external
application designed to so lubricate the
muscles and to thus so relieve the pres
sure reacting on the nerves, that the
natural strain upon the cords and liga
ments is not accompanied by those severe
pains said to cause nausea, morning sick
ness and many Jocal distresses. This
splendid embrocation la known to a multi
tude of mothers.
Many people believe that those remedies
which have stood the test of time, that
| have been put to every trial under the
varying conditions of age, weight, general
health, etc., may be safely relied upon.
And Judging by the fact that "Mother's
Friend" has been in continual use since
our grandmother's earlier years and Is
known throughout the United States it
may be easily Inferred that it is some
thing that women talk about and gladly
recommend to prospective mothers.
"Mother's Friend" is prepared only in
our own laboratory and is sold by drug
gists everywhere. Ask for a bottle to-day
and write for a special book for expectant
mothers. Address Bradfleld Regulator

AT PAXTANG
The fireworks display at Paxtang

that popular resort th.- .Mecca of all

program given at the park rluiiiiK the
past two seasons need no recommenda
tion to those who have seen them, and
the park management promises to make
to-morrow evening's display a little
than any of the preceding ones.
All you have to do, if you want to see
some real fireworks to-morrow evening.
Is to take a Paxtang car and be on the
grounds at 8:15. The fireworks man
will do the rest, and It Is a safe bet
that he will show you something in
pyrotechnics that you never saw before.
\V hile you are out at the park there
Is one thing you can't afford to miss,
and that is the show at the park thea
ter. One act on the bill is especially
worthy of the m«tt fastidious vaude
ville fan's attention. The act is Bond
an, d Carson in their snappy vaudeville
offering, called "Song Land. Bond and
Carson were formerly featured with
Ben Rolf's Arcadia. They were the
hit of the big act. and in their present
effort they are even better than ever.
If you like horses, Bristol's Ponies will
send you away satisfied that you have
seen one of the best equine acts on the
stage, as well as the biggest, for there
are sixteen beautiful Shetland* in Mr.
Bristol's troupe. The rest of the acts
on the bill are of standard quality, and
the whole makes a great vaudeville per
formance.
