TMTEMENI
UNTIL AUGUST 1
City Tax Collector Says He's Send
ing Out Notices as Matter
of Courtesy
Clerks in the ofTicce of the City!
Treasury are working overtime these
■davs handling the rush of citizens who
ate eager to take advantage of the
1 per cent, abatement on taxes.
Up until two years ago July 1 was
the time allowed upon which the 1 per
cent, abatement was obtainable on city '■
taxes. Last year and this year, how- j
ever, the time had been advanced one
month so that any citizen can have the
advantage of the abatement if he
squares his bill before August 1. How- i
ever, a lot of folks still believe the
July 1 time limit still holds and usually
there is quite a rush to the City Treas
urer's office at this time of year.
Some peope have complained at not
receiving their tax statements in suffi
cient time before July 1 to take advan- j
tage of the abatement provided the >
July 1 date still held. In discussing I
this to-day Captain O. M. Copelln, the j
City Treasurer, said:
"We are not required to send out
the city tax statements and we only •
do it as a matter of courtesy. It hap- J
pened that this year we did not get i
out as many as last year and it is j
possible that some of the complaints (
were from the folks who didn't get j
theirs yet. To date I should say that
we have sent out from 2,500 to 3.000
end we're sending them out still just I
as fast as we can do so. However, for
two weeks we have advertised the fact
that the taxes are due. Furthermore, j
3 supposed it was generally known
that the 1 per cent, abatement holds j
good until August 1."

the Nassau county jail here as the
assassin of Mrs. Louise Bailey,
seemed to have recovered to-day from
the nervous collapse she had yester
day and sat quietly in her cell read
ing books furnished by the warden's
wife. She received a letter to-day
from her 12-year-old daughter, Eliza

of the inquest in an effort to
strengthen an alibi for her mother.
The letter read:
"Dear Mamma: We all think
of you always. I don't quite
know why you can't come home.
If I don't see you very soon I'll
write and ask Mr. Pettit (the
sheriff) why you do not come

Express Company car and forced the|
messenger, J. G. Nicholson .to stand |
with his face to the wall while they !

in."
The bandits made no effort to mo

to keep their heads inside the win- |

taken except the contests of the ex-i

is not yet known. Conductor Mudd J

St. Louis. Mo.. July 10. —Nahum j
T. Brown, general agent here of the 1
American Express company, said
there was no shipment of money
the express safe, but that there were
a few package? of jewelry, the value j
of which he would not estimate.
The first news of the robbery was j
given by the flagman of the "flyer." j
Despite warnings of the bandits, he
got off the rear passenger coach and |
ran back to Matson. where he notified !
the station agent that the train had i
been held up.
Emil Ahmann, a constable at Au- j
gusta. Mo., west of Matson, was one |
of the first officers to arrive on the |
scene of the robbery. He said he was
told by the train crew that the bandits ;
carried off a sack of silver weighing
fifty pounds and a pouch of railroad
mall.
Commission Rules
Regarding Rights
of Corporations
The petition of the Pennsylvania
Utilities company, which sought to
prevent the Lehigh Navigation Elec-1
trie company from invading its ter- j
ritory in certain parts of Monroe and ;
Northampton counties, was dismissed j
to-day in an opinion handed down by
.the Public Service Commission.
The Lehigh Navigation Electric j
company was chartered prior to the j
passage of the act creating the com- j
mission, and the opinion declares that j
if an electric light company cannot i
enter upon the territory in which it j
; has been granted power by the Leg
-1 islature to exercise its franchises and !
privileges, it can do nothing.
The opinion says that when a pub- :
lie service company, acting within!
the rights granted by its charter, un- !
| dertakes to make a contract with a \
j municipality, the subject matter of j
i the contract is still within the con- j
| trol of the commission. This sub
i stantially means that the respondent
; company cannot be prevented from
entering the territory to which Its
franchises apply and supplying lndl
| viduals within that territory, but that
, if it undertakes to supply munlcipali
ties it will have to obtain the consent
j of the commission.

Harrisburg School Sketches
BY J. HOWARD WERT
No. 3. Public schools conducted in tlio German language, the erec
tion of the Stevens building. The Harirxburg School Board at length
obtains a permanent home. The many uses to which the large hall
room of the Stevens building has been applied.
In 1874, the teachers at the school
building at Chestnut and Dewberry
streets were Mrs. Carrie Sees and Miss
Jennie E. Dase, both of whom, after
years of faithful educational service,
are still residents of our city.
The third small school building of
this vicinity (known as the German
building) was more fortunate than the
Front street and Chestnut street build
ings in becoming a permanent educa
tional site. Its location was 123
Chestnut street, being the original
German homestead. Harrisburg. in its
earlier days, was well supplied with
the olden-time breweries, and one of
the best known of these was the Ger
man brewery located In the rear of
the dwelling and facing in Cherry
street. When the Harrisburg school
board acquired the German property,
two schools were located In two rooms
of the dwelling house, the teachers
in 1874 being Misses Jenny E. Lenny
and Lizzie F. Jauss. Miss Jauss is
still a teacher in the Stevens building
on the very spot where stood the Ger
man house, whilst there are hundreds
of men and women in Harrisburg,—
aye, and widely scattered too through
many other communities —willing to
bear ready testimony to her devoted
services In their earlier days.
Schools In the German language
But the three small buildings which
have been mentioned were not the
only isolated schools in that section
of Ihe city. Schools were located In
rented rooms in the German Lutheran
church in South Second street, which
has been razed in recent years to make
way for Pennsylvania railroad im
provements, and also in Odd Fellows'
hall. 304 North Second street.
The school in the Lutheran church
was devoted to the Instruction of pu
pils desiring to receive their education
in the German language, there being
also another German school in the
rented Knipe building in Verbeke
street. The German schools then con
ducted under the auspices of the
school board were in deference to the
desires of a strong and important Ger
man element in the population of
Harrisburg. The teachers in the school
located In the Lutheran church
Frederick W. Liesmann, the well
known proprietor and publisher of
"The Pennsylvania Staats—Zeitung
and Dauphin County Journal,' and
Miss Kate A. Troup.
The school in Odd Fellows' hall was
taught by Miss Kate Stambaugh. This
accomplished teacher, now Mrs. Piper,
is again connected with Harrisburg's
educational work.
The Erection of the Stevens Building
When the sentiment in Harrisburg
In favor of better school buildings and
a greater concentration of educational
effort had reached flood tide, in the
seventies of the last century, the Har
risburg board determined to erect an
edifice near the center of the city
which would accommodate the pupils
of the numerous small schools and
rented rooms of that section. The
German property in Chestnut street
was deemed the most available site
at its command, but the space being
insufficient for the structure contem
plated, the Jones Wister Residence ad
joining on the west was also pur
chased.
It also entered Into the plans of j
the board to provide In this building
for better quarters for its meetings j
and a suitable office for the city su- |
perintendent of schools. His office
had been located at various places.
In 1874 it was in an Inadequate room i
in College block, as the building with j
an entrance at 28 North Third street |
was generally called at that time. The
following year it was in an equally
insufficient room in Market Square.
The school board held its meetings
as best it could, in the office of the
superintendent wherever that might
be.
The City Institutes
The new building in Chestnut street
was erected in 1876, the centennial
year of American independence, ante
dating the new building at Harris
Park by one year.
Bark of the capacious offices for
the superintendent and secretary of
the board was a room for board meet
ings, whilst above all was a hall pri
marily Intended for the semimonthly
sessions of the institute held by the
city teachers, which had previously
been held in the rooms of the boys'
high school located in the DeWitt
building (or old Lancasterian) in
Walnut street.
But with a radical readjustment of
the arrangement of the schools in
1886 the boys' high school itself w*as
transferred to this hall in the Ste
vens building with several adjacent
rooms in use for recitation purposes.
This transfer was effected after a bit
ter fight in the school board in what
one of the papers of the city termed
a "rich and racy meeting." There is
quite a bit of history back of this
fight, but this is not the place to
tell it.
The Dacasterian building had been
the location of the hoys' high school
for the North ward of Harrisburg,
from the time that the common school
system became sufficiently developed
to have a high school. On the con
solidation of the North and South
ward districts into one school organi
zation, it became the site of the boys'
high school for the entire city.
The transfer to the Stevens build- j
SCENES AT CAMP ON M'CORMICK JSLAND
ing was made on the evening of May
18, 1886. Here the school remained
until the consolidation of the boys'
high school and girls' high school into
one institution in the new building
erected for high srTiool purposes at
the corner of Forster and Capital
streets. This occurred September 4,
1893.
The large hall room of the Stevens i
building, after the consolidation of
the high schools, was used, for a time, j
for the meetings of the board. But I
with the greatly reduced number ofi
members incident to the adoption ofj
the school code now In force, the:
members returned to the board's orig-1
Itial location on the first floor.
The hall, beautifully fitted up, is
now and has been for some years the
ornate and comfortable home of the
Harrisburg teachers' training school,!
Miss Anne U. Wert, principal.
The Harrisburg school board hasj
generally shown excellent judgment
in the selection of names for Its school
buildings, and never was there a hap
pier choice than when this capacious
edifice in Chestnut street was named
after the "Great Commoner" Thad
deus Stevens, the especial champion of
the grand public school system of our
Keystone State.
Westinghouse Workers
Decide to End Strike
Special to The Telegraph
Pittsburgh, July 10. Four thousand
striking employes of the Westinghouse
Companies, in a mass meeting at the
Tabernacle, last night, voted unani
mously to return to work next Monday
morning. This practically proclaims
the end of the strike, and was directly
due to the ultimatum issued bv the
companies yesterday, in which they re
fused longer to hold open the positions
made vacant by the walkout.
The strike leaders, in commenting on
the decision of the men to return to
work, said that it had been deemed ad
visable for several days, because the
employes would receive more considera
tion from the company if they acted as
an organization than if they returned
as Individuals.
The strike, which has lasted more
than five weeks, has been one of the
most orderly ever conducted by a body
of men and women ranging from 8.000
to 12,000. Even though the State troop
ers were called to the scene, there has
been little for them to do except patrol
duty.

DOG LICENSES IRE
MUCK IN DEMAND
Activities of Hound Catcher Bring
Many Owners to
Time
Being city dogcatcher isn't merely
or. easy money-making Job of kicking
someone else's dog around; the dog is
also having his day.
And where the dog itself doesn't
exact full satisfaction of the dog
catcher via teeth or lens It's a safe bet
that master or mistress will help make
life miserable for the weary official.
Thar Catcher William H. I/ayton Is a
very busy young man these days goes
without saying; a glance at the rush
of business he provoked at the dog
license bureau speaks for itself. For
instance, yesterday 63 licenses were
taken out. the biggest day ever. Up
until a late hour this afternoon 360
dogs had been registered.
But for Mr. Layton life is just one
collarless, vicious, swift-running, growl
ing, elusive bedeviling dog after an
other. And lest he forget that he Is
just a cktcher of Innocent, etc.. dogs,
folks whose dogs have been snapped
up and who accordingly don't think
much of the dogcatcher as a gentle
man and a scholar express themselves
in various ways at police headquar
ters. Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison,
chief of police, said to-day, however,
that all the complaints were without
foundation and that Layton was not
only doing his duty but doing it well.
Here, however, are a few of the com
plaints:
The fellow hasn't any heart; he took
two unregistered dogs from a couple
of children.
The fellow is in cahoots with the
garbage collector —the latter purposely
allowing a gate to swing open after
his departure with garbage cans, thus
offering the dogcatcher a chance to
tease an unsuspecttng dog out Into the
I alley, where the hard-hearted official
| can pick him up and load him Into his
wagon.
Not that Mr. Layton is complaining.
His day's work yesterday netted him
$lB.
Thomas to Lay Deal
For Players Before
President Tener
By Associated Press
Cincinnati, Ohio, July 10. "I have
written President Thomas, of the Chi
cago National league Club, that I am
willing to leave the controversy over
the trade of Players Mollwltz and Wll
| Hams for Player Derrick to either
President Tener or Secretary Heydler,
of the National League, with the un
derstanding that whatever decision they
shall render will be final," said Presi
jdent August Herrmann, of the Cincin
nati Club, here to-day.
When questioned further as to the
probable mode of procedure that the
case would likely take In case Mr.
Thomas would not consent to an ar
rangement of this kind, Mr. Herrmann
continued:
"Then I shall request President Tener
to take the matter before the board of
j directors of the league. There is no
. question in my mind about the deal
being a valid one, and unless I hear
I from Mr. Thomas soon, I shall take the
