Raps at lukewarm Christians, "sissy"
parsons and lifeless churches; denun
ciations of some of the vicious con
diUons of Harrlsburg's night life;
declarations of improprieties at the
polls on Tuesday, and intimations of
what he will do in Harrisburg before
the six weeks' campaign are over, were
interspersed with ancient stories, pan
tomimes, famous puns and vaudeville
acting by Dr. Stough In his sermon at
the tabernacle last night.
An audience of 7,000 persons listened
raptly for one hundred minutes with
frequent Interruptions for applause.
"To-night," he said, "the city of
Harrisburg stinks to heaven—stinki
worse than a run I used to know in
Illinois that (lowed past barnyards,
sewers, breweries and reeking places.
It smells with a num\er of stinks and
the first stink of your city is that of
Sabbath desecration. than 50 per
cent, of your people attend church on
Sunday and the rest spend the day as
a holiday or on picnics, auto rides or
pleasure excursions. The chaotic con
ditions in this country to-day are the
direct result of the desecration of the
Sabbath.
Saloon Most Damnable
"The second stink In your city Is
that of Intemperance. The saloon is
the most damnable ever let loose from
hell."
He told of a drunken spree after
election in which the man, his wife
and family were all drunk and had
almost killed the 2-year-old baby by
giving it whisky with a teaspoon.
"God help me to do my duty," he
declared. "I'm fighting and need your
help, so bury your little superficial
criticisms and get In line."
He spoke of the ill-smelling stream
of Immorality in the city and men
tioned the "nasty little streetwalkers."
He said: "They Infest th© winerooms,
and the ladies' entrances at some of
your hotels, as anybody knows who Is
at all familiar with the life In your
city."
Doesn't Want to Pollute Sinners
The sermon was based on the "new
cruse" with which the stream of watei
near Jericho was purified by the
Prophpet Elijah.
"The prophet wanted a new cruse
because he wanted a clean vessel to
purify the stream, so I want new and
clean church people to help me clean
up this city. Do y6u suppose I want

Two Years Before Post
Office Will Be Finished
It will probably be two years before
the addition to the Post Office In
Federal Square will be completed and
the Federal building open for use.
S. W. Fleming, assistant postmaster,
said this afternoon that the way things
are going now it looks as though the
addition will not be finished for at
least two years. The reason for this
is that the contractor does not have
the new plans that are necessary since
the increase In the appropriation from
$125,000 to $200,000 was made. This
Increase made It possible to erect two
more stories to the annex and the
plans for these have not been made
and given to the contractor, who
cannot go ahead without them.
\
Buying Opportunities
Readjustments in the various
merchandise markets have
brought many opportunities.
While In some Instances prices
have risen, in others there have
been great cutting of quotations
due to the fact that the holders
of goods desire to liquidate.
This liquidation Is not un
healthy.
It merely means that com
merce Is readjusting itself to
new conditions.
But the fact that such price
fluctuations exist make it more
than usually important that peo
ple post themselves before buy
ing; In other words—
It will pay your pocketbook
to study the advertising In the
Telegraph.
TAMMANY HALL IS
AGAIN IN SADDLE AT
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Balance of Democratic Power in
House Lies With "Boss"
Murphy
BIG REPUBLICAN GAIN
Even Democrats Admit That Great
Majority of Voters Favor
Protection
Washington, D. C., Nov. s.—Badly
beaten In New York, Charles F. Mur
phy, boss of Tammany Hall, neverthe
less, will be in complete control of
Congress as a result of Tuesday's elec
tions.
The Democratic majority in the
House, late returns show, has been
reduced to 17 votes. The votes by
which the Democratic Administration
still controls the operation of the
House represent nearly the full
strength of Tammany Hall In that
body.
Not a single legislative measure will
be possible of enactment in the Sixty
fourth session of Congress, therefore,
without the consent of Charles F.
Murphy, the boss whom William Jen
nings Bryan, now Secretary of State,
read out of the Democratic party at
the Baltimore convention.
Landslide Greater
The Republican landslide, resulting
from the protest of the voters against
the destruction of the protective tariff
principle and the vicious attacks on
business, has taken on bigger propor
tions as delayed returns comes In.
It !s now certain that In addition
to the Republican sweep in Pennsylva
nia, New York, Connecticut, New
Hampshire, New Jersey and other
Eastern States, there has been a com
plete victory in Ohio and a decimation
of Democratic strength throughout
the West.
The one big fact that stands out
from the returns is that the Progress
ive party has performed an amazing
disappearing act. Scarcely a vestige
of Colonel Roosevelt's once formidable
party remains. The Republican re
union may be said to be virtually com
plete. The evidence of renewed power
which has been given by the Republi
can party, virtually without any di
recting head, doubtless will bring the
stragglers back to the ranks so that
a united front may be presented In
1916.
National Issue In Ohio
Prank B. Willis has been elected
Governor of Ohio. His election was
unexpected. The Republicans believed
they had a chance to capture the sen
atorship from that State and they did
so; but the fact that Governor Cox,
the Democratic candidate for re-elec
tion, was backed by all those who
were opposed to prohibition was con
sidered in his favor. Willis favored
the adoption of a constitutional
amendment for State-wide prohibition,
and the strangest part of It Is that
while prohibition was crushlngly de

partisan ballot was»elose. Practically
complete but unofficial figures from 52

STOCK YARD RECEIPTS
By Associated Press
Chicago, 111., Nov. s.—Receipts at
the stock yard, in cattle, hogs and
sheep, to-day were 53.000 head, or
13,000 less than those a week ago.
The decrease was mostly in hogs,
prices of which advanced 25 to 60
cents, and in sheep, which rose 10
cents over yesterday's close. Cattle
sold 10 to 20 cents higher than they
did yesterday.
Beginning Saturday, the first busi
ness day on which the yards will be
closed, there will be no market quo
tations until the embargo, due to the
outbreak of disease, is lifted.

By Associated Press
Tolcio, Nov. s.—lt is officially an
nounced that the bombardment of
Tsing-Tau continues vigorously. The
Germans on the night of November 3
made a counter attack which for a
time hindered operations.
The attacking forces, according to
the statement, are now gradually clos

streets of the town and the power
house has been destroyed.
On November 4 the Japanese right
captured some small forts, an officer
and twenty soldiers. Shells struck
and burned the Bismarck barracks.
"Kampaign Kitty" Joins
Central High Orchestra
While "tuning up" this morning the
Central High School orchestra heard a
faint nolsa in the auditorium. When
the members looked around and found
nothing, they surmised it was one of
their own instruments.
They started to play the opening
march when a very distinct, "meow"
was heard. Everybody stopped and
fooking up on the platform they dis
covered a lltle black cat.
Kitty was captured by one of the
choir boys, and remained in the choir
throughout chapel and, of . course,
helped in the singing.
The choir boys named the cat "Kam
paign Kitty."
Curtis, Republican,
Leading in Kansas
Topeka, Kas., Nov. s.—With the re
turns practically complete in all but
three counties in Kansas early to-day,
ex-Senator Charles Curtis, Republican,
appeared to be leading in the race for
the United States senatorship by about
1,000 votes over Representative
George A. Neely, Democrat.
With the re-election to Congress In
the Sixth district of John R. Connolly,
Democrat, all but one of the con
gressional districts had made complete
returns. The fifth was yet in doubt,
although Guy T. Helvering, Demo
cratic incumbent, seemed to be lead
ing by a slight majority over W. Cal
derhead. Republican. Later returns
indicated the election of Republican
State ticket by pluralities of from
15,000 to 30,000.
THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5, 1914.
If you want to know just how a real cook—that Is a real scientifically
garbed cook —should look, take a peek at the layout above. It shows a
class In domestic science at the Central High School. Notice the white
cap, and the scrupulously clean white apron. Weil, the girls are taught
by the instructor, Miss Frances Hamilton, to keep those aprons and that
cap clean as a new pin and Immaculately laundered. The one thing that
Miss Hamilton just will not stand for Is dirt. During the first week the
girls were taught how to properly wash dishes, build a fire, and cook scal
loped oysters.
The lower etching gives an idea of the appearance of the dainty
cooklets. The photo is that of Miss Katherine Legley. •In the upper

Prize Fights Doomed
by California Returns
By Associated Press
San Franclßco, Cal., Nov. 6.—Prize
fighting Is doomed in California in the
face of returns from Tuesday's elec
tion as compiled to-day. The pro
posed law doing away with the fistic
sport had been given a majority of
votes in the precincts reporting and as
votes were distributed throughout the
State It seemed probable that later
figures would maintain the same ratio
; against the measure. Earlier returns,
especially those from cities, made it
I appear that the anti-fight measure

stamping ground and It is said at one

The so-called lowa Injunction law
for the abatement of Immoral traffic,
I heretofore regarded as defeated, like
wise showed heavy support from the
inner districts of the State and the af

Tsing Tau Bombarded by
Jap Forces; British Ships
Leave Chilean Waters
Cruiser Glasgow and Transport Otranto Are Not Bottled
Up by German Warships; German Cruiser Yorcke
Strikes Mine and Sinks; First Rush of Kaiser's
Forces For French Coast Has Been Checked
No British warships are in Chilean ports. The fate of the three
British cruisers that engaged five German warships off the coast of
Chile and the transport that accompanied them remains a mystery.
On this mystery is based the British hope that one or more of
their vessels survived the action. A dispatch from Santiago to-day
disposes of an earlier report that the British cruiser Glasgow and
transport Otranto had been bottled up in Chilean waters by the Ger
man cruisers Leipzig and Bremen. The whereabouts of the two lat
ter cruisers are also in doubt. Of the nine vessels that figured in the
naval battle only the German warships Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and
Nurnberg have been definitely accounted for. After coming into
Valparaiso they again sailed.
Nor was there any word to-day of the British battleship Cano
pus which the Admiralty says had been sent to strengthen Rear
Admiral Cradock's squadron. There is nothing to indicate that she
arrived in time to participate in the fight.
Great Britain has declared war on Turkey and the Ottoman
government despite dissensions in the cabinet is definitely com
mitted to hostilities against Great Britain, Russia, France and Servia.
While Turkey becomes in effect an ally of the Teutonic allies she
is strictly speaking waging an independent war upon Russia because
of an alleged attack upon her by the Russian navy; and upon the
ether countries involved because of their espousal of the Russian
cause.
The new drive for the sea coast of the heavily reinforced Ger
man forces in Belgium has been met by a counter offensive of the
also augmented armies of the allies in the vicinity of Ypres.
LINES HAVE NOT DRAWN BACK
"The Franco-British lines have at no point drawn back," says
the afternoon French official statement, "and our troops undertak
ing the offensive have made notable progress in several directions."
It is declared that the allies have made slight progress to the
east of Nieuport and that the German attacks from Dixmude to the
Lys are being made with less energy. Renewed German activity is
reported on the center without notable change and on the right of
j the allies the situation remains deadlocked.
A dispatch from Teheranx reports that the Persians are mucli
excited over the clash between Turkey and Russia. The pretender,
Salar Ed Dowleh, has proclaimed himself as Germany's candidate
for the throne.
Great Britain has formally annexed the Island of Cyprus in th«
Mediterranean which has remained long under the suzerainty of the
Turkish sultan though with a British administration.
The Russian war office announces that Russian troops have
entered Turkish Armenia, defeated the Turks and occupied four
towns. The Russians claim that the Germans are falling back not
only in Russian Poland but also on the east Prussian frontier, and
that Russian troops have penetrated at points on the east Prussian
border.
AUSTRIANS HELD IN GALICIA
It is asserted that the Austrians are being held in Galicia. The
Russians have suspended the siege of Przemysl because of a cholera
epidemic in the town, it is said.
A wireless dispatch from Berlin brings an , official German
denial of reports that the Russians had recently taken many prison
ers and machine guns. The statement does not describe the general
situation in the eastern theater.
A despatch from Cape Town received in London says that the
rebel movements led by General Beyers and Lieutenant Colonel
Maritz in the Union of South Africa appear to have been completely
crushed.
The attitude of Bulgaria appears still undermined. Russia, is
said to be making diplomatic efforts to reconcile Bulgaria and Servia
and prevent Bulgaria casting in her lot with Turkey. A despatch
from Sofia says that the Greek government has assured Bulgaria that
Greece will remain neutral. No definite word has come from Ru
mania.
The British and Japanese are still hammering away at Tsing
Tau. Tokio announces that the attacking forces are gradually clos
ing in but also states that the Germans 011 Tuesday night made a
counter attack which delayed the operations of the allies.

GREAT BRITAIN ANNEXES CYPRUS
London, Nov. 5, 12.38 P. M.— Gre:t Britain to-day form
