A Piano of Acknowledged
Prestige and Merit
For $285
It used to be said that this was impossible. The proof that it IS pos
sible is in the Marshall & Wendell pianos, priced at $285 and upwards, now
sold here. It is probably the onjy piano sold in the city for $285, whose
prestige and merit have been established and acknowledged for 79 years.
And you can buy a Marshall & \\ endell piano, with its name,
reputation and quality, at the low price of $285, only because

Date For Reopening of
Panama Canal in Doubt
By dissociated Press
New York, Oct. 12.—Shipping inter
ests here were not greatly surprised
to-day by the announcement from
Panama that Major-General George
W. Goethals had withdrawn the ten
tative date, November 1, which had
been set for the reopening of the
Panama canal following the great slide
of September 20. Many New York
steamship companies already had
made arrangements to have their
steamers, which have been held up by
the closing the canal, proceed to their
destinations by way of the Straits of
Magellan. This increases the time be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific coast by
eighteen to fifty days.
It was stated to-day that in all 111
vessels have been delayed by the clos
ing of the canal and the loss to each
was estimated at 51,500 a day.
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
LIBRARY GROWING
REPORTS REVEAL
Interesting Matters Brought
Out at the Annual Meeting of
City's Public Library
TRUSTEES ARE ELECTED
Casper Dull Re-elected Presi
dent; Extension of Activi
ties Is Indicated
| The extent of the work being done
by the Harrisburg Public Library not
only in the circulation of standard
literature, but in assisting Sunday
school and other libraries in the city
and in developing educational work
among pupils of the public schools
i was reported upon at the annual meet
ing of the Library last night. The re
j port showed that the movement in
augurated last summer of taking
books to schools and playgrounds was
bringing results and that a third of
the registration of persons desiring
books was of children connected with
the schools of Harrisburg. The
Library through Its librarian. Miss
Alice R. Eaton, is co-operating with
the teachers, principals and superin
tendents in taking library work to the
youngsters.

by a number of the contributors
among them B. F. Myers, who
was for years a trustee and who main
tains an active interest in the institu
tion.
Gilbert Fund Great Help
The progress of the year was shown
by a report of 15,384 books in the
library with more, made possible by
the Lyman D. Gilbert Memorial Fund,
created this year, ready to be placed
upon the shelves. The Gilbert fund
was the largest donation since the
present library was erected through
the bequests of Mrs. Sara J. Halde
man-Maly and the proceeds will en
able the library to develop at a time
when it has just commenced to take
its place in the community. There
are now 11,118 registrations, over 3.-
000 school children, a gain of 3 215 in
a year. The circulation in September
usually a dull month was over 8,000.
This is 600 ahead of last September.
Miss Alice R. Eaton, the librarian,
who has been acting on "•< part of
the library in educaticmi. and civic
movements, Is also aiding in the es
tablishment of the school libraries,
aiding in compiling Sunday school
lists, mission study class lists and
other work. She has also made spe
cial collections, easily accessible, on
pertinent subjects, including munici
pal improvement, vocational educa
tion, supplemental courses for stu
dents and Pennsylvania history, the
latter being possible through dona
tions made for purchase of books on
history.

these trustees for two years: Arthur
D. Bacon, William M. Donaldson, Geo.
A. Gorgas, Spencer C. Gilbert and
