TUESDAY EVENING,
ATTORNEY GENERAL
ON CONVENTION
Expressed Only Personal Views;
No Political Significance
Attached
! Attorney General Francis Shunk
Brown to-day amplified his statement
of yesterday In which he gave his per
sonal views as a lawyer of wide experi
ence in favor of a constitutional con
vention. The Attorney General said
yesterday that he was presenting his
individual opinion and to-day rein
forced It by saying the State needed a
new constitution.
Mr. Brown's statement was as fol
lows:
"When I suggested yesterday that I
thought the time was ripe l'or a con
tention I expressed my individual view
as a citizen and lawyer, and did not
assume to express the views of the
] Governor. What little talk 1 have
: had with him thereabout has been
' casual and to declare the great and
in some cases Insurmountable difficul
ty, because of the limitations of the
Constitution, of drafting laws which
the people need and are entitled to
;have.
"In the march of the States toward
J the fulfilment of the hopes of our
fathers, who in their days were not
j afraid to act, that there should ever
' abide here a government of the peo
j pie, by the people and for the people,
we are woefully In the rear. We do
have a government of the people, but
wo certainly do not and cannot in
this State, under the present Constitu
tion, have one by and for them.
"It is a pity that a mere expression
of opinion of that which one thinks
would be helpful to our people should
be attributed to some political or oth
er ulterior improper motive. I would
have a poor opinion indeed, of tho
citizenship of Pennsylvania if I be
lieved that they were not capable of
governing themselves. Other States
have adopted new Constitutions to
meet their present day needs, and
their people are thriving and happy
in their possession, and all self-re
specting Pennsylvanians should, at
least, cherish the confidence that the
Keystone State is at least of equal
strength with the other stones of the
arch. In the family of Common
wealths which compose the nation, wc
jare considered exemplars in many of
(the elements which go to make up an
ideal citizenship, but he is either blind
or indifferent who does not know that
our Constitution ts a garment we have
long since outgrown, and has been
added to, and added to, piecemeal, and
If not a thing of shreads, made so by
the construction of the courts to ad
just it to our vital needs, it is at least
a thing of patches.
"I hope no one will be so unfair
as to attribute to me even the thought
of suggesting that which 1 did not
bo-lieve to be best for all. 1 have not
critically read the bill of Representa
tive Boney, have not talked with him I
about it, have taken no interest in
any movement to secure a convention,
but will, if the legislature deems it
wise to call one. do all in my power
to assist to the adoption of a Constitu
tion. which I believe to be absolutely
necessary, if Pennsylvania is to main
tain the position in the nation to
which, with lier location, natural re
sources and citizenship, she Is entitl
ed."

MERRIMHC SURVIVOR
IS FIST DECLINING
I
Aged Sailor, However, Observes
Anniversary by Telling of the
Famous Fight
John McClellan, the 91-year-old sur
'vivor of the famous Confederate ram,
j the Merrimac, Is celebrating the 53d
j anniversary of the battle with the
;.Monitor very quietly to-day at the
County Almshouse, where he has been
an inmate since 1904. The battle oc
curred March 9, 1862.
John is getting feeble and short of
memory, and cannot recall many de
tails of the fight in which he served as
a sailor in the crew of about 50 men.
He says there is one other of the
crew alive somewhere in Virginia
from whom he had letters until a few
years ago, but other persons say Mc-
Clellan is the sole survivor. John also
says he is 8 4 years old. but the files
of the poorhouse steward give his age
as 80 when he entered the institution
eleven years ago.
McCleland was born in Ireland and
served in an English regiment through
the Crimean War in 1854, being en
gaged in many of the important en
gagements. After the war he came to
America and joined an uncle in New
Orleans who was captain on a Missis
sippi river steamboat. He worked as
a roustabout on the river steamers and
as sailor on the Gulf of Mexico until
the outbreak of the Civil AVar.
He first enlisted with the Louisiana
Tigers and remained with them until
the launching of the Merrimac. on
which he remained until she was
beached and burned by tl.e crew after
the light with the Monitor. After this,
McClellan rejoined the Tigers and
served until the surrender of Lee.
Groom-to-be Returns
Hastily Got Marriage
License; Wedding Off
When Frank Belles, of Hershcy, and
pretty 17-year-old Mary Cieri, of
Rutherford Heights, reached the office
of the marriage bureau yesterday after
noon the doors were closed for the
day. They pounded and rattled, how
ever, and finally Acting Deputy Re
corder William Houseman let theHi
in. They bashfully, blushlngly, albeit
very joyously explained that they
wanted a marriage license.
Despite the fact that it was after
hours Mr. Houseman issued the certi
ficate, Belles explained that they were
to be wedded that night.
Shortly after the office opened this
morning Belles sad-eyed, drooping,
appeared—alone. He showed a tiny
locket and chain and small bracelet,
gifts to Mary, he said, which she had
returned last night.
"She tell me to return the license,"
said he, quietly, "when she gave me
back my gifts. We quarrel, That's
all. Tho wedding is not be."
So written across the pasted-up re
turned marriage certificate is the sin
gle significant word "Void."

FUTURE POSSIBILITY

question had originally been offered to
the city for $0,500, and that the
amount specified in the ordinance In
cluded the agent's commission, which,
in his opinion, the city should not -ay.
Two ordinances passed finally. One
provided for an appropriation of $35
from the sewer tappage fund to pay
John E. Dare for overcharge. The
other ordinance provides for the lay
ing of a water pipe in Agate street
from Schuylkill to Columbia street.
The ordinance appropriating $2,000
for repairs to the Friendship steam
fire engine went over. Mr. Taylor
stated that after an examination now
being made this amount might be re
duced.
The contract awarded to Jacob
Weiner to furnish 5,000 tons of river
coal to the city at 68 cents a ton was
approved.
The City Planning Commission sent
an approval to Council of the ordi
nance providing for a municipal as
phalt plant. A petition from the Dau
phin County Medical Society recom
mended the erection of a modern mu
nicipal hospital.
Two resolutions were presented, one
by Mr. Gorgas, providing for an ap
propriation of $1,189 to pay for grad
jng assessments levied on school prop
erties, and the other, by Mr. Lynch,
for the appropriation of SI,OOO for the
purchase of a sprinkler and two street

Taylor Thinks McCormick
Asks Too Much For Land
City Commissioner M. Harvey Tay
lor, superintendent of parks anil pub
lic property this afternoon in Council
pointedly questioned the feasibility of
the city purchasing the McCormick es
tate site in South Harris burg for an
asphalt repair plant at the price,
$6,630, authorized by the Lynch or
dinance.
Mr. Taylor pointed out that the land
is not, in his opinion, worth as much
as the ordinance provides. Further
more he questioned the reason for the
increase in price of the second offer
over what he said he understood was
the lirst figure.
Originally, said Mr. Taylor, the fig
ure offered was $6,500. Before the
deal could be closed, however, be said
lie understood that an agent had rais
ed the price to $6,630, and he did
not, therefore, think the city should
pay for the agent's commission.
Joseph Denima. SlO South Second

Taylor to Net $l5O For
City For Temporary
Rental of Warehouse !
Contractors who may want to build ]
temporary storage houses or shods in
the River Front Park or on the island
during the construction of the new;
Cumberland Valley bridge will have to ■
pay an annual rental of 5150 to the'
city, restore the ground to its ori
ginal condition after it lias been used,
and file $5,000 bond to protect the city,
according to an arrangement made to
day by City Commissioner M. Harvey
Taylor, superintendent of parks and
public property.
Several contractors have already
written to Mr. Taylor asking for tem
porary space for a distance of 100 feet
north and south of the bridge in the
River Park and a distance of sixty
feet north and south on the island. Be-1
cause of the fact that the bridge job]
will mean work for hundreds of local
men, Mr. Taylor said he believes the. j
city should do all it can to accommo- 1
date the bridge contractors if the city I
is properly protected.
The proposed warehouse locations
and sheds will not interfere with tho
running track nor the bathhouses on
the island and a watchman will be
maintained to safeguard the children

to guard against.

Life belts were distributed among

was there any real danger.
Captain Caussln told the story of the
fire after he had taken his vessel safe

In the boilerroom sought to extinguish
the blaze, which was not serious, in
itself, I turned my attention to other
parts of the sliip.
"At this moment one of the night
watch reported the hearing of crack

crew to their stations and as the ship
was in a mist 1 gave directions to stop

Suffrage Amendment
Comes Up in Senate -
Next Monday Evening
The woman's suffrage amendment
passed second reading in the Senate
to-day. but not before Senator Crow,
of Fayette, unconsciously gave the suf
fragists a scare. When the amend
ment was reached, Mr. ('row moved
that it be placed on the postponed cal
endar. Senator Vare, Philadelphia,
was instantly on his feet inquiring the
object of the motion. Senator Crow
replied that he made the motion with
the purpose of amending the resolu
tion.
Bv this time another senator had
reached Mr. Crow's side and after
whispering to him, Mr. Crow arose and
said:
"I beg the Senate's pardon. I was
on the wrong bill."
The Senate laughed, the suffragists
breathed a deep sigh of relief, and the
antis, who had sat up to see what was
coming, settled back again in their
Owing to the expected absence of
several senators to-morrow when the
reso'dtion was to have come up for

WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
* PHYSICIAN'S *DVICB
"rnjigostion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble are. nine times out
of ten. due to acidity; therefore stom
ach sufferer* should, whenever pos
sible. avoid eating food that is acid in
Its nature, or which by chemical action
in the stomach develops acidity. Un
fortunately. sucli a rule eliminates most
foods which are pleasant to the taste
as well as those which are rich In
blood, flesh anil nerve building proper
ties. This is the reason why dyspep
tics and stomach sufferers are usually
so thin, emaciated and lacking in that
vital energy which can only come from
a well fed body. For the benefit of
those sufferers who have been obliged
to exclude from their diet all starchy,
sweet or fatty food, and are trying to
keep up a miserable existence on gluten
products, t would suggest that you
should try a meal of any food or foods
which you may like, in moderate
amount, taking immediately after
wards a teaspoonful of blsurated mag
nesia in a little hot or cold water. This
will neutralize any acid which mav be
present, or which may be formed, and
Instead of the usual feeling of uneasi
ness and fullness, you will find that
your food agrees with you perfectly.
! Blsurated magnesia is doubtless the
best food corrective and antacid known,
'it has no direct action on the stomach:
1 but by neutralizing the acidity of the
food contents, and thus removing the
source of the acid Irritation which in
flames the delicate stomach lining, it
does more than could possibly be done
by any drug or medicine. As a physi
cian. 1 believe in the use of medicine
I whenever necessary, but I must admit
I that 1 cannot see the sense of dosing an
inflamed and irritated stomach with
drugs instead of getting rhl of the acid
-—the cause of all the trouble. Get a
little blsurated magnesia from your
druggist, eat what you want at your
next meal, take some of *he blsurated
magnesia as directed abovo, and see if
I'm not right.—Advertisement.
