TO BRINE 7.000 NEW , CONVERTS IN CHURCH [Continued l'roni First I'agc] who signed cards Saturday and Sun day. Of the cards already placed in \ the hands of the ministers, various percentages of new members are found. In some instances only 25 per cent of the confession cards are from persons already members of the church; in many cases the percentage •is more than 50 per cent. No de finite record has been kept by the committees and statistics are avail able only through the individual pas tors. To Organize Permanently The complete organization of the Peronal Service league which was be gun by the Rev. F. T. Cartwright two weeks ago will be completed by him nt an early date. He plans to make a special trip to Harrisburg some Sun day afternoon during the campaign at Altoona to instruct the men of the local workers along lines similar to those of the woman's branch already organized. The two branches of the league will direct their energies to the conservation of the results of the cam paign among the converts and to ex tend its influence far and wide. The Rev. Dr. Cartwright said just before he left the city yesterday that, the full measure of an evangelistic campaign is not known until at least six months have passed. If. after this time the work is continued with an unabated vigor by the local forces of Christianity, he said Dr. ( Stough and himself consider the campaign a suc cess; if the interest has waned and church people have lost the impulse for saving souls, then they feel the campaign has been somewhat of a failure. Figures Do Not Gauge Success. "It is not the numbers of trallhlt ters or the amounts of money col lected that gauge the success of one of our campaigns; it is the new aroused effects and better thought of a community that we always watch during the months succeeding a re vival." Dr. Cartwright left the city last night for his home in Delaware, Ohio, with the best wishes for the con tinuation of the evangelistic work in Harrisburg and the personal belief that the work is only commencing. He said the party were all highly pleased with the results In this city and desired to thank the community at large and the earnest church people in particular for their interest and support. He said the prospects for a big campaign in Altoona are very en couraging with everything in readiness for the opening next Sunday. l'ian Jjocal Organizations It is possible that local organiza tions of trailhitters will be formed for mutual help and for extension of the campaign work. Plans are being worked out for separate societies for the Hill and the down-town districts of the city. Local revivals in individual churches : are being considered by many pastors 1 of the co-operating churches for the 1 purpose of continuing the religious im- 1 Apulse given by the Stough campaign. , *2,ir>o FOR NOXIOUS ANIMALS j Sunbury, Pa..

TUESDAY EVENING, ME SCAMS 111 POST OFFICE JOBS Ugly Charges Made in Connection With the Democratic Ma chine's Apportionment A dispatch to the Philadelphia Pub lic Ledger from Washington, says: "Charges of collusion and corruption, the most astounding yet exposed In the distribution of post offices in Pennsyl vania, were made yesterday by M. J. Ryan, of Susquehanna, In an affidavit submitted to Senator Penrose, of the post office and post roads committee. This affidavit directly charges that Jo seph P. McMahon, recently appointed to the Susquehanna office, offered Ryan $2,000 to retire from the field as a can didate, and the same amount to Rich ard N. Brush for his influence in Demo cratic politics. "The salient features of the affidavit stripped of its verbiage are: " 'Si. J. Ryan deposes that he was a candidate for the appointment of post master in the borough of Susquehanna; that on the 18th day of March, 1912, Joseph P. McMahon. one of the said canddiates for the appointment to the ' same office, called upon him and sug gested that deponent retire as a candi date for such office, suggesting that he, McMahon, would pay deponent JIi.OOO for so doing: that said McMahon tated he cared nothing for the income of the office, but sought the office because of the prestige accompanying the sama; that on March 19. 1912, Richard N. Brush called upon deponent and. dur ing the course of the conversation that ensued between deponent and Brush, the latter stated that he had received an offer of $2,000 for his (Brush's) en dorsement for the post office and ad mitted to deponent that such offer was made by the above-mentioned Joseph P. McMahon; that said Richard N. Brush was the national delegate repre senting the Fourteenth Congressional District held in Baltimore. June, 1912." Fraroae Holds Up "Senator Penrose held up the confir mation of McMahon. pending an inves tltion by the Senate committee. He also held up action on three other Pennsylvania confirmations. One was that of Albert E. Eckert, named for . postmaster at Kast Stroudsburg, in j place of N. S. Brittain. Jr. The others , were, P. G. Katz, to be postmaster at I Verona, to succeed John McCurdy, and Walter J. Mcßeth. for postmaster at Braddock. succeeding C. H. Sheets. In the latter cases the protests came from members of the Democratic party in Allegheny county. In the case of Eck ert, who was nominated for postmaster at East Stroudsburg. Brittain charges that lie had been Induced to resign, up on the understanding from Congress man A. Mitchell Palmer and Eckert that his resignation would not be acted upon until the end of his term. Febru ary I". He said Eckert bad told him that Palmer would not disturb him in office until the end of his term. "Senator Penrose, commenting upon the situation, said: "'The appointment of postmasters at Braddock and Verona discloses the fact that in both cases persons nominated were supported by M. Clyde Kelly and received their nominations on his rec- I ommendatton. Tt is said that neither nf those men has the support of the local Democratic administration. Not withstanding the oft-repeated protests of the Washington party men that thev are free from any entanglement with either of the old parties, this would seem to be a clear case of a bipartisan machine and some explanation of Kellv's vote on the Underwood free trade bill in betrayal of his constitu ency. There Are Other* " 'The case of the postmaster at Sus quehanna is only one of a great many similar cases which have occurred in Pennsylvania and throughout the coun try involving collusion and corrupt deals and arrangements with the post offflce appointments. " 'The East Stroudsburg case is mere ly an Instance of sharp practices, and i shows how completely the administra tion has ignored the circular issued by the Postmaster General at the begin- ; lilng of the administration that compe tent postmasters would be permitted to serve out their terms of office. A simi lar statement was also mace bv Repre senativc Palmer himself. Such a rule was very largely adhered to by the Republicans in Cleveland's second term. " 'ln this administration the protes tations made at the beginning were soon violated In the most flagrant way, and postmasters have been discharged or resignations demanded on frivolous or trumped up charires. In fact, the whole postal service lias been demoral ized to an extent, which it is difficult for the *>*»bllc to realize.'"

Take it from the student com mittee, the municipal Christmas-tree won't have anything on the tre® that is to be raißed on the chapel platform. $l5O liaised by Santa "Subs" More than $l5O has already been subscribed by the student body to provide a real, old-fashioned, A No. 1 Christmas for the sixty tiny guests an J ithe thousand-odd pupils have planned to demonstrate by trimmin's, gifts, I candies, and so forth, that Central . High School when it wishes to do so can arrange n Christmas celebration what IS a Christmas celebration. And Santa himself? Bless you, the old gentleman is too busy seeing to it that thirty-two hoofs are properly shod, that the runners of a famous sleigh are smooth and shiliy, that eight sets of bells are Jing ly enough, that the extra work en tailed by the war in Europe in the making of ship and doll iuid soldier is finished—to get away personally. So he's arranged for a "sub." David Burns, class of 'ls, is to be the "sub" Santa. As for the tree and what it will bear: That's some of the "inside stuff" that can't be published because it might spoil the surprise. Suffice it to say that there'll be such a Christ mas, beginning at 9.30 o'clock to-mor row morning, as will make an extra page in high school history. Autos For the Youngsters Automobiles, of course regular lautos, mind you, with big, puffy, cush 'lony seats, and robes made of bear skins and things—will be provided to haul tho youngsters to and from the High School. All of which Is enough about the celebration. There are some little tales about the persons who are to be the guests. There are some of those for whom families of eager, enthusi astic, whispering, spelling papas and mammas and sisters and brothers, and aunts and uncles and grandfath ers and grandmothers, are NOT ex pending such a wealth of energy and I currency. So here goes: t Lest Santa Find Silver Threads Among the Gold Everything's very Chrlstmasy up at the Nursery Home; It's in the air. In one of the wards the age problem and Its possibilities with relation to the "big day" was recently at issue. Some mere grown-up. it seems, had raised the question of Santa's prob able difficulty in distinguishing the ages of the sleepers by the appear ance of the rows of heads. Upon his ability td do so, it was pointed out, hinged the solution of whether or not for instance, the age that can find satisfaction in a train of cars, might not be presented with a rattle. Wealth or discrepancy of hair alone would be determining factor. Now there are just a half dozen small boys at the home who perhaps can't boast of as luxuriant growths as their fellows. Therein lurked tragedy. So the six put it up to Mrs. Stew art. the matron. She gravely suggest ed a hair tonic. The six agreed. Every night at bedtime it was to be applied and to prove it really a tonic, it was to be "smelly stuff." That Mrs. Stew art was at her wits' end for a time to find something suitable is neither ■ here nor there. She found it. So, every night, six nannel-"nightied" wee folks trail Into her room in single lile ' just before ebdtime, gravely bow I their heads, have'em rubbed, and then they file out to bed. Everything's very Chrlstmasy up at the Nursery Home; it's in the air. Social Life Adds to Whirl; Orpheum Party The social whirl is making Christmas time a terrible busy season at the Nursery Home, doncha know. The kids of the home together with youngsters from the Children's Indus trial Home and some other homes, not industrial, whose occupants arc under the eye of the Children's Aid Society, all went to tho Orpheum this afternoon. They were guests of C. Floyd Hopkins, the inanoger. Mr. Hop kins was host last year at a similar party, if you'll remember. When the Nursery Folks Just Sit and Listen Some day after Christmas perhaps you'll visit the long playroom of the Nursery Home and you'll naturally be astonished at the unusual quiet that prevails among the long bench-rows of small men and women. They will be listening. The young woman attendant will be there 'tis true. But she won't be singing nor reading nor telling a story. Uu in a cage near the window will to the solution. And after the em barrassment of your sudden appear ance has worn off perhaps the enter tainer, one of the Home's Christmas RETURN ENGAGEMENT OF "A PAIR OF SIXES" C MmS&mi?' ' iffj|L3BSEßßiii^^. 3 teW6 ; JMl| *gb ■ • jifXr -*jg&gr»- Like all things which succeed, the title, "A Pair of Sixes," seems to be Just the exact name to fit the supremely ' funny farce which will play a return engagement at the Majestic Christmas matinee and night. It refers merely 1 to the incident in the play which caused two partners to disagree and start a whirl of fun which is now being on joyed the country over. Beyond that, the title has nothng to do with what has been termed our great American indoor card game. There is, of course, a queen of hearts in the cast. She is a mighty big card and is probably the only instance where a lone queen beat a pair of sixes.—Advertisement, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH V • \ .» .. y **■* : .

Gentlemen;- X want to thank you on "behalf of the Party and Myself for the use of the Chickering Piano during our recent Campaign in this city. In years of experience with various good makes of Pianos, I have never had one which so fully measured Up to my ideals of Pianoforte, Its immense volume and perfect vibration coupled with its rare carrying quality for the most delicate work, makes it in my opinion, the Ideal Piano for either Concert or Parlor work, The fact that it has stood up under the strain of a seven weeks Campaign, meeting the heaviest requirements two and three times a day without a moments attention at any time speaks louder for the Chickering than any words. In the future the Chick ering Piano will "be used exclusively in the Stough Campaigns. Thanking you again, I am Yours truly, < WPJT/K.

And when you've heard "Jim" awhile you'll understand the unusual quiet of the little auditors. They'll be Just—listening. Want to Help Oat Santa? How 'Bout Some Sleds? Here's a tip for you folks who are wondering just how you may help Santa make some of the little folks at the Nursery Home happy at Christ mas. Just after the recent fall of snow that made the slopes of Maple Hill absolutely splendid for coasting, a couple of boys from the neighborhood towed their sleds up the hill and en joyed themselves hugely. Inside a very small boy whose resemblance to John Bunny of 'movie" fame, begot him the title of "Johnny Bunny," gazed long ingly out at the coasters. "Thay," finally observed John to a chum, "muthn't it be nice to have a sled, even 'lth you've dot to divvy wlf odders?" The World's War Interferes With His Vocal Program By Christmas 5-year Thomas. Tom or Tommy—it depends upon whether members of the board of managers, Home attendant, or Mrs. Stewart, the matron, calleth —had hoped to be able to sing "Onward Christian Soldiers." He may not fullflll that ambition now though: the war In Europe seems to have interferred. Because of some affliction of the ar tlculary muscles, a little heritage per haps from the father he has never seen, Isn't a,ble to use his voice like other youngsters. The attaches of the I institution, however, have been trying to help him by humming: snatches of airs from time to time. And "Onward Christian Soldiers" seeniß to have been Tommy's especial selection. He liked that and was doing well in rehearsals until the hired man passed the nursery window the other day. The hired man was whistling-. The Home's would-be baby singer stopped in the middle of the march of the Crusaders. He listened gravely to the hired man. Then he announced that he meant to change lessons and that he means to pass "Onward Chris tian Soldiers" for awhile—until he masters the tune the hired man whistled. The hired man whistled " 'Tis a Long Way to Tipperary." Nursery Home Gets Some of Oar Best Goldfish Four fat, glistening goldfish in a big glass bowl have been presented to the children of the Home as an ad vance Christmas gift. Miss Anne Mc- Cormick presented the bowl; the city water department employes the fish. And, take it from the water de partment fellows, that quartet is. from our best families of goldfish. Santa May Stop Smiling to Wipe Away a Tear When old Santa pauses in his rounds of the Nursery Home sometime Thurs day night the chances are that he'll wink his eyes a lot and softly clear his throat at he looks into the white crib that is third from the door of the "nursery." In the crib bundled in a blanket Santa may see a mite of a sleeper. When he's awake the liveliest and noisiest noise he can make to inform a fcityins world that he's a really, DECEMBER 22, 1914. righty person, is by the cooings and crowings and gurglings of a few months' old baby. Whereupon Santa—who knows the facts, you seft—will doubtless recall that ola saying about the sins of the father. And perhaps he'll mentally add "and the mother, too, sometimes." Until the occupant of the third crib from the door becomes wiser than the Wise Men, a matter of only a few years, possibly, he'll never know why he's so very tiny and helpless when he should be in rompers and able to play with the older kids in the play room. He's nearly four years old. Miss Helen Mauk and Pupils to Sub For Santa via Auto While the entire enrollment of the Home will go by automobile to-mor row to meet Santa's "sub" at Central high school, another of Santa's "subs" in the guise of pretty Miss Helen Mauk and her pupils of the Worinleysburg primary grade will come to the Home via a big automobile truck Christmas morning. Just what Miss Mauk's auto truck will bring along beside a big load of eager, enthusiastic humanity is a Christmas secret. It's enough of a tip to know, however, that Miss Mauk re cently called up Mrs. Stewart by phone and that low-voiced conversa tion followed as to Nursery Home needs in the way of mittens and stock ings and things: rocking-horses, sleds, cats that meow when you wind 'em up. dogs that bark when you treat' them similarly; and candy and' LATEST FICTION --AT-- Ideal for a Christmas Gift to the friend who appreciates good reading.
