Men Working on Slopes
Along the River Front
City Commissioner Taylor, who has
made a fine record in the expansion
and development of the park system
during the last, yeftr, had his force at,
work this morning on the river slopes.
During the big carnival considerable
damage was done to the planting, but
Inasmuch as there must be a general
grading of the slopes in the sections
south of "Hardscrabble" the damage
■which resulted from the crowds using
the slopes instead of the walks will
not be so great as was feared at llrst.
Inasmuch as many gulle.vs had pre
viously existed, the opportunity Is now
presented to place the slope from Herr
street southward in tlrst class shape
before the rains of the winter do fur
ther damage. It ought also to be pos
sible to transfer a lot of hardy shrtih
-1 ery from the nursery on the island to
the slopes and plant the trees in the
River Park that could not be set out in
the Spring. There is now enough
space along the western curb line
from Maclay street to Division to con
tinue the line of elms which extends
to a point north of Maclay street.
The river events of last week gave
thousands upon thousands of people
an opportunity to see for themselves
what has been done by the Park De
partment during the last few months.

MONDAY EVENING,
FINE CELEBRATION
GENERAL VERDICT
Chairmen and Committeemen
Are Commended For
Good Work
Well, It was SOME celebration!"
That's the way all Harrisburg feels
to-day when it thinks back over the
great week-end of the Municipal Im
provement observance.
That the city never enjoyed itself so
thoroughly nor even entertained such
enormous crowds goes wtlhout saying,
and a grateful, if a bit fun-weary pub
lic, was loud in its praises of the
chairmen and committeemen who
helped make the event such a won
derful success.
Henderson Gilbert, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and the other
members of that body, J. Raymond
HofJert, assistant park superintendent
who had charge of the water carnival,
C. Floyd Hopkins, who managed the
big program, President Harry A.
Boyer of the school board, Frank H.
Hoy, Jr., of the cabaret committee and
all the subcommittee chairmen and
committees «ame in for a generous
share of commendation to-day. The
handling of Hanisburg's biggest
water carnival naturally developed
some mistakes and delays liut all .n
all allowances were pretty generously
made and then the evening's events
overshadowed the occasional slip-ups
of the afternoon.
Another splendid feature of the big
celebration was the co-operation of
the merchants, the stores and the
public utilities. The traction com
panies and the bridge company went
In for the big time splendidly while
the Harrisburg Light and Power
company did more than Its share to
make the three days a success.
All the subcommittees and chair
men, of course, came in for a share
of the city's commendation for the
way they had handled the various
events on the program and among
these were the following:
School publicity and exhibit. Dr.
F. E. Downes, city superintendent;
automobile inspection tour. City Com
missioner M. Harvey Taylor; unveil
ing of improvement marker, Benja
min M. Xead; big reception, Donald
McCormick; speakers. A. Carson
Stamm; "Merchants' Night," A. E.
Buchanan: unveiling of Harris* Ferry
tablet, Thomas Lynch Montgomery:

Finney; street cabaret, Felix M. Davis
with Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Hoy; wa
ter carnival, suhchairman, Thomas M.
Kelker; rowboats, Charles C. Dinta
man; swimming, Cloyd McFadden;
14-year-old swimming, Horace C. Oel
sel; canoes, Ira Klndler; decorated
boats, Gilbert M. Oves; churches, the
Rev. James F. Bullitt.

the cigaret, th e circus, the vaude
ville, the moving picture show, the
theater and the dance for the thrill,
for their excitant, instead of to the
Spirit of God."
Condemns the Dance
"The modern dance is an abomina
tion to God and man," continued tho
speaker. "It's a travesty on decency
and any man or woman who consents
to trad" companions with another man
or woman for conventional hugging
purposes even for a minute to say
nothing of an hour or a night, Is a
fool though he or she may not know
it Men can eat with men, smoke with
men, drink with men, talk with men
by the hour or evening, but who heard
tell of men dancing all night with men,
or women dancing all night with wo
men? Why is this?
"Common decency should preclude
the modern dance among decent peo
ple. And as f6r the cabaret about
which we hear so much, that Is the
dictionary name for a tavern or 'wine
shop' and growing out of that is the
word cabaretier,' the dictionary name
for a saloonkeeper. And yet we de
bauch people with not only the names
but the acts of these sensualizing
dopes to the spiritual nature. Where
Is the remedy for all this? Why, be
not drunk with wine with women, with
tobacco, with sensuous dances, with
the cabaret, the theater, the vaude
ville, the sensuous movie, the lying
novel, but be ye drunk with tho
spirit.
"And let the drunkenness find
legitimate and invigorating and health
giving expression in speaking to your
selves in Psalms and Hymns and
spiritual songs. Making melody in
your heart to the Lord, not in your
stomach or your heels or your sensual
nature to the devil, but, 'making
melody in your heart unto the Lord'."
Members of the Grand Army of
Stevens church were given front seats
at the service. Many were taken to
the churcn in automobiles and every
courtesy was shown them by several
of the younger Sunday school classes.
R. H. Coburn whose name inadvertedl.v
appeared with the list of Grand Army
members Saturday wishes to say he is
not a member of the organization.

Claims That Mass.
"Antis" Are in Alliance
With Liquor Interests
Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, president
of the Central Pennsylvania Woman
Suffrage Association, sends the Tele
graph copies of two letters which she
has received from Charles T. Hallinan,
president of the publicity department
at New York.
These letters were forwarded by the
Massachusetts State Suffrage Associa
tion and according to Mr. Hallinan
prove conclusively that in that State
at least the liquor people are In close
alliance with the antisuffragists. He
says: "You will notice that the 'D. F.
Reardon' who figures as the treasurer
of the Massachusetts Voters' Antl-
Su(Trace League is the same D. F.
Reardon whom the liquor dealers ex
ploit as their confidential representa
tive."
The letters in question are printed
on the stationery of the Massachusetts
Voters' Anti-Suffrage League and one
of thees letters signed by D. F. Rear
don, treasurer, is an appeal for funds
to assist in sending speakers to every
city and town to advance the anti
suffrage cause. Special mention Is
made of a demonstration to be held at
West Rocksbury and the letter states
"the project has the endorsement of
the Massachusetts Liquor League and
a copy of its endorsement hy Edward
H. Pinkham is enclosed. The second
letter signed hy Edward H. Pinkham
and written on the stationery of Uie
Massachusetts Liquor League is a gen
eral introduction of Dennis F. Rear
don, "who has been a good friend of
our cause in the legislation with voice
and vote."

MIDNIGHT OIL IS
NOT PROFITABLE
Commissioner Dixon Gives
Ideas Regarding Work in the
Hours of Daylight
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Commis
sioner of Health, agrees with Benjamin
Franklin that the man who gets a late
start has to hustle all day long and In
his weekly hygiene talks he sets
forth that the instinct of nature being
still strong In the barnyard It is worth
while for man to study whether it is
not to advantage to work during day
light. The commissioner thinks that
night hours no matter how handsome
ly Illuminated do not compare with
those of the morning.
Dr. Dixon says:
"Our barnyards have not yet had
electric lights installed ho the* domes
tic animals still go to bed at dark.
"In these days when every village
boasts It's electric light plant and the
streets of even our smaller munici
palities are ablaze with light, nigbt is
for all practical purposes as light as
day and the primitive instinct to seek
shelter and repose with the falling
darkness has been lost to civilized
mankind.
"The modern tendency seems to he
to shorter! the hours of work and ex
tend the hours of play into those that
In the cosmic scheme of things were
intended by Nature for rest. While
there is little truth In the old saying
that "an hour's rest before midnight
is worth two thereafter," the danger
is that extending pleasure and enter
tainment to late jiours of the night
breeds an irregularity of habit which
is not conducive to good health. Late
frolics after a day's work are apt to
lead to unusual exhaustion for which
the ordinary allotment of sleep will
not compensate.
"Fortunately the majority of us In
this world have a considerable amount
of work to do each day. If we keep
late hours at night the tendency Is to
expend our energy on pleasure instead
of the real business of life.
"Daylight is the best time for physi
cal work or brain work. The early
morning hours beat the midnight oil
game for the student and scholar. The
great majority of authors do their
work In the morning.
"Poor Richard says that "he who
riseth late must trot all day." The
midnight hours no matter how bril
liantly illuminated are a poor ex
change for those of the early morn
ing."

for a week, will be featured by a pro
cession of the survivors of the con
quering army from the Capitol to the
White House in commemoration of
the grand review which marked the
close of the Civil War. Many other
Interesting events are on the program.
Extraordinary preparations had been
made for the event, which promised to
rival presidential inaugurations in in
terest and display. Plans had been
perfected for entertaining 100,000
visitors.
The national capital itself is in gala
attire. All public buildings, including
the White House and the Capitol, and
business houses along Pennsylvania
avenue where the grand review is to
take place are draped in the national
colors.
Veterans and visitors alike con
tinued to arrive to-day and each in
coming train bore its full quota. Most
of them were from the states easier
of access to Washington. Commander
in-Chief Palmer was among the ar
rivals.
Cam|> Emery Opened
The day's ceremonies began with
the formal opening by Commander
Palmer of Camp Emery and the wel
coming by the commander and Ms
staff of Lieutenant-General Nelson A.
Miles, retired, who is to be the grand
marshal of the parade next Wednes
day.
This was the only formal ceremony
held, the day being devoted largely to
the informal reception of incoming
delegations.
The program of the afternoon called
for a pa'riollc concert by the United
States marine band at the Pension
Building, which is to be used as a
branch headquarters.
Beginning to-night and continuing
throughout the week, the forts around
Washington will be Illuminated by the
Veterans' Signal Corps Association.
Twelve war vessels of the United
States navy lay at anchor in the Po
tomac river here to-day for the in
spection of the veterans. Naval officers
will give dally demonstrations for the
instruction of visitors.
Thirty thousand veterans are ex
pected to participate In the grand re
view Wednesday. President Wilson
will review the procession from a
grandstand in front of the White
House where President Johnson stood
in 1865 to review the conquering army
of the North.
Union Leaders to Attend
The celebration will be marked by
the bringing together of the surviving
great Union leaders. Among them are
the only two living corps commanders,
General James H. Wilson, of Wilming
ton, Del., and General Granville M.
of Council Bluffs, lowa, and
Division Commanders General Adel
bert Ames, of Mlsslppl; General D.
McM. GreKK, of Pennsylvania; General
Lewis A. Grant, of Minnesota; General
J. Warren Keifer and Brlpradier-
General John T. Wilder, of Knoxville.
Many Gray-Clad Veterans
Tn addition to the Grand Army vet
erans In their uniforms of blue Incom
ing trains are bringing in large num
bers of gray-clad Confederate veterans
invited to the festivities. President
Wilson by special executive order has
granted a holiday to all government
employes who served on either side to
attend the reunion.
The death rate of the veterans of
the Civil War in 120 a day and the
Ilnal call for the survivors, the aver
ts Ke of whom Is 71 years of asre, is fast
approaching. This encampment, there
fore, will be the last formal gathering
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Encampments of some sort will be
held each year, the officers say, until
the last man of the war passes away.
Official records show that 2,272,408
men fought under the Stars and
Stripes in the Civil War and that
S4 9.94 4 lost their lives before I,ee
surrendered. The 2.000,000 veterans
of the armies of the North at the close
of strife fifty years ago have dwindled
to less than 400.000. »
PERMISSION IS GRANTED
Permission to satisfy a mortgage
dated March 30. 1870, given by George
Blousrh to the Hoernerstown Building
and Savings Association, was granted
to-day by the Dauphin County Court
upon presumption of payment. All
the officers of the association are dead
and no record exists of the organ
ization. The mortgage was for $1,408
on a property In Hummelstown.
MANDAMUS GRANTED
The mandamus proceeding against
the Dauphin County Commissioners
instituted by the Derry township su
pervisors to compel the county to re
pair the old Horseshoe turnpike from
Hummelstown to the T/ebanon county
line was granted to-day by default.
The commissioners admit their lia
bility and are prepartng to make the
-repairs.

ing confetti. The streets, by the way,
were given over to the people and
traffic was kept to the side streets.
Front, street, for blocks north and
south of Market looked much like an
automobile park. •
The Periwinkle band of the' Dives,
Pomeroy & Stewart stores marched
ardund through the crowd and now
and then started a refrain that was
taken up hy the big mass of people.
Other bands in costume, including the
"Sour Note" band from across the
river, paraded through the streets and
added to the fun. Harrishurg was
never in such high good humor.
Tn the northwestern end of the
Square a gypsy camp with remarkably
pretty gypsy girls told fortunes, while
a couple of clowns and a pony enter
tained the hundreds who never moved
from the spot. Many a cane was
"ringed" on the Courthouse steps,
many a."baby" was cracked with a
baseball, and scores of marbles were
tossed into cuspi'dors at the "fair."
While a band furnished the music
on the big stage in the center of the
Square an attractive program of
vaudeville entertained thousands. Most
of the artists were from the Majestic.
The program included Leach, LaQuln
lan. trio, wire artists; Lyman and
Chaulsea, dancers; Peter Pendergast,
contortionist, of this city; Pearl Broth
ers and Burns, comedy and song; Dalv
and Thomas, acrobats: Claude and
Marion Cleveland, musical comedy;
Mile. Vera Sahinn, "Fantasie of the
Dance;" Max Musical Circus; John
Donovan, singer, and John Reynolds,
dare-devil balancer.
During the evening prizes for the
best costumes were awarded hy a com
mittee of judges consisting of Frank
H. Hoy. Jr., and Wellington G. Jones.
The prizes were articles of merchan
dise, Jewelry, etc., and the winners
included the following:
Best costumed men—First. Harrj
M. Brooks: second. John D. Corkle.
Best costumed women—First, Miss
Caroline Marzolf; second, Miss Powell.
Most comic costume, women—First,
Miss Mabel Marzolf; second. Miss
Clara Plckert.
Most comical costume, men—First,
Merle Bitner; second. Paul J. Ross;
third. Wilbur Myers.
All in all. Harrishurg and Its thou
sands of guests had the times of their
lives Saturday night, and even the wee
sma' hours of Sunday found quite a
number of wayfarers in the streets,
albeit they were homeward bound.
Yo you wonder the Man in the Moon
laughed?
Crowds Keep Two "Armies"
From Fighting Properly
Neither of the two "armies" that
maneuvered on the slopes of Reser
voir Saturday afternoon could "fight"
properly; the crowds of some 10,000
people wouldn't let them.
Despite the fact that the spectators
could have seen everything by keeping
below the battle zones as it were, the
crowds jammed up right behind the
attacking, or defending forces in such
a way as to prevent any retreats or
flank movements or any other move
ments that soldiers would naturally
make on an occasion of this kind.
The fact that one body of troops was
engaged with two other commands
precluded a decision by the referees,
Lieutenant-Colonel Maurice E. Finney
and Captain Kemper of the United
States army. The Governor's Troop
and Companies D and I of the Eighth
regiment were engaged, the troop act
ing as the advance guard of an army
which was attacking Harrishurg and
endeavoring to get possession of the
Market street bridge "head."
Everything went nicely as mapped
out until the tnfantr.vinen sta-ted to
charge up Cherry 11111 to take the
"trenches"; then Its attacking party
just had to keep going—the crowd fol
lowed so close on the heels of the
"army" that the latter couldn't have
retreated or flanked If it wanted to.

GREAT CALAMITY
NOT NEEDED HERE
Unlike Other Cities, Harris
burg Did Not Wait For Dis
aster; No State Aid, Either
Farley Gannett, the city's leading
consulting engineer, enthusiastic over
the great success of the municipal
celebration, said to-day:
"In all the discussion concerning
Harrisburg's awakening and the suc
cess of her public improvement cam
paign I have not seen or heard ex
pressed what I consider two of the
strongest points for Harrisburgers to
be.proud of and for others to remem
ber and Tespect our city for.
"It wasn't until the awful fire that
Chicago emerged a city of great prom
ise, and on the high road toward su
premacy among American cities.
"Galveston marks its national rec
ognition as a seaport and important
center of population from the tidal
wave of 1904.
San Francisco dates its real develop
ment from the big earthquake of a few
years ago.
"Baltimore has emerged from ob- ♦
scurlty since the fire of 1904.
Dl»l Not Wait For Disaster
"Harrishurg did not wait for a catas- 4
trophe to start the purse of energy. The
leaven came from within. The city
pulled itself out of the mud by its own
boot straps. The citizens saw the
need, overcame the inertia of gener
ations and here laid the foundations
for a great city without the aid of
some calamity to awaken them to the
necessities,
"The other point I want to call at
tention to is this: Few people realize
how often and widespread comes the
cry of State aid!" "State aid" for
hospitals, for charities, for roads,, for
bridges, for sewerage treatment, for
water purification, for stream channel
improvement, for nearly everything,
in fact. All over the State cities send
up this cry for financial help when
confronted with large projects involv
ing heavy expenditure.
Never Asked For Aid
"Not once was this cry raised in
Harrishurg, not once did we ask a
cent of the Legislature and not one
cent has gone into our public improve
ments that hasn't come or will not
have to come from the taxpayers of
the city.
"We went to the Legislature for
laws under which to build the dam; to
the State departments for permits to
improve' our sewer systems, build the
dam and river steps; but not once did
we go to it for money or help of any
kind.
"And this is why we appreciate our
improvements so heartily. This is
why we are so proud to-day of them
and .of the men and women respon
sible for them. And this is why we
will take care of these great works,
and add to them from time to time
as our wisdom sees their necessity,
our growth requires them and our fin
ancial tsrength makes them possible."
WRECK AT COLUMBIA
Sfecial to The Telegraph
Columbia, Pa., Sept. 27.—Two cars
of a special freight train that was
passing the Pennsylvania railroad sta
t.on here last evening, toppled over
and blocked the tracks for about two
hours. The cars were loaded with
cattle, and when the train was sig
nalled to stop, an air hose broke, the
jar throwing the cars off the tracks.
Trains on the low grade line were
also delayed. The cattle were none
the worse for the wreck and only one
was killed.
