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. ,

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.'"

School. Of course, there's to be a
tree. 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

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,

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

gifts, will preen himself a bit and
demonstrate his vocal abilities.
This will be "Jim," the Nursery
Home canary. 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'
