gPt*j Now every dopart-
W»atassSlßt»mllllllli9 mental chief has
stationery to suit himself, some having
the State arms In gilt and some in
black and some not at all. Some de
partments have the names of all bu
reaus carried on the letterhead, while
others have only the head of the de
partment. There is aiso a variety as
to color and quality of paper. This
week heads of departments and oth
er branches who have been receiving
inquiries as to details of departmental
organizations, were asked to furnish
samples of the stationery in use.
The new commission is giving the
Capitol some things to think over.
Perfecting; Huronu.—Another meet
ing will be hold in Philadelphia on
Tuesday to perfect the organization
of the new Pennsylvania Compensa
tion Hating and Inspection Bureau,
which has been formed under the
supervision of the State Department
of Insurance and the State Work
men's Insurance Fund to bring about
uniform ratings and inspections on
ompoyers' liability risks in Pennsyl
vania. The bureau is to be directed
by a governing committee of seven,
on which the two State branches will
be represented and will have a gen
eral manager who will handle the
inspection force. A special effort will
be made to bring about elimination
of bad risks. Under the bureau plan
the insurance companies and the
State are brought together.
To liivcn Hoard.—Secretary of Agri

ing out a plan which will make the
meeting of the State Board of Agri

gathering for the presentation of re
ports and discussion of cut and dried
matters, while an effort will also be
mado to get away from the practice
of having officials at the head of de
partments of the State government
give resumes of what they have been
doing. Instead it is the plan to have
some men of wide reputation on agri
cultural topics, who have had some
thing to do with innovations, make
addresses. The announcement of the
plans will be made next month and
the meeting may bo one of the most
notable of the kind in years.

SATURDAY EVENING,
ALL THE LATEST PARISIAN CREATIONS IN "THE
No the "Fashion Shop" Is not merely a fashion show, but Is a clever musical comedy, presented by a capable company headed by Hugo Jansen and
Blanche late star of "Naughty Marietta." This Is the same excellent comedy that appeared at the Orpheum last season and made such a lilt. Hugo
.Tansen, the famous Parisian designer, will display his wonderful skill, and all the season's latest fashions will be draped on beautiful living models, without
sewing or cutting, but he will create all sorts of daring and original costumes with the aid of a few pins. Tills dainty little musical oomedy not alone displays
these wonderful gowns to make its success, for It is tilled with good comedy and lots of catchy songs, with h bevy of pretty girl models as a chorus. This
Is bv far the most elaborate act that has been booked to appear in HarrUburg since the change of prices and the management believe that the increased
patronage will warrant them plaving more acts of this larger type, and bring the shows nearer Orpheum quality at a much lower cost. —Adv.

EXPORT FREIGHT
JAMS R. R. YARDS
Commodities Are Strung For ■
Miles in New York Terminals;
Cannot Be Moved
New York, Nov. 27. —The Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad,
whose lines are choked as far back as
Scranton with loaded freight cars, it
cannot move, to-day instructed its
agents to accept no more freight for
export until further notice.
More than 6,000 loaded cars from
the West, all containing grain, feed,
flour, copper and hundred of other
commodities, have virtually turned the
terminals and sidings of the road into
a storage warehouse for weeks. Some
of the cars have been held here for
eighty days.
Inquiry at other railroad offices de
veloped that nearly every road ter
minating here is glutted with freight
cars standing loaded and idle on sid
ings for hundreds of miles back along
the line and that, other roads would!
follow the Lackawanna's lead shortly.
For months New York, mouth of
the bottle through which pours the
great bulk of America's export trade,
lias been clogged with freight in ex
cess of the facilities of the steamship
companies attempting to handle it.
The movement of the big cereal crops
and the unprecedented demand in Eu
rope for copper, steel and other metals
used in warfare lately has swollen ex
ports within the past sixty days to
figures undreamed of before. In Oc
tober alone exports to the value' of
approximately $175,000,000 left New
York on 398 ships.
This Is the Birthday
Anniversary of—
____J
John L. Kun, Deputy Attorney Gen
eral, and one of the brainy young law
yers of the Philadelphia bar.
American Steamer Is
Pursued by Cruiser
By Associated Press
New York. Nov. 27.—The American
I steamer Zeulandla. which was recently
boarded and searched by an officer
and men from the British cruiser Iris
at Progreso, Mexico, arrived here to
day and reported having been pursued
last night by an unknown cruiser off
the New Jersey coast.
Captain Devantier said that ta 11.30
o'clock last night, when he was be
tween Brigantlne shoals and Tucker's
beach, a cruiser bore down on him
and signalled with the Morse code.
The night was unusually hazy and the
Zealandla ran inside the three-mile
limit and thus escaped the cruiser.
The captain said the cruiser was in
sight, for half an hour, when it dis
appeared in the fog.

C. E. STAFFORD
DIES SUDDENLY
Maker of First Bessemer Ingot,
and Former Official Here,
Succumbs to Apoplexy
Philadelphia, Nov. 27.—Charles Kd
ward Stafford, 61 years old, for many
years prominently identified with the
steel industry of the United States,
died of apoplexy to-day at Ifaverford,
Pa., near here.
For many years Mr. Stafford was
chemist for the Pennsylvania Bteel
Company. He was widely known for
his improvements in the design for
an open hearth furnace and he made
the first Bessemer steel ingot in this
country. From 1885 until 189G he
was manager of the Schoenberger
Steel Company of Pittsburgh. He was
also connected with the South Chi
cago plant of the Illinois Steel Com
pany and at one time was president
of the Tidewater Steel Company.
Mr. Stafford commenced his career
in the steel business at Steelton and Is
well known among the older steel
men.
George W. Parsons, of Fourth and
Spruce streets, a former high official
of the local plant, now retired except
for some advisory Work, to-day re
called well Mr. Stafford's work while
here.
"Mr. Stafford came to Steelton, ir
T recall rightly, immediately upon his
graduation from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Boston,"
mused the veteran steelmaker to-day.
"He started to work as assistant
chemist under Mr. Lincoln, who was
then our chief chemist," continued Mr.
Parsons. "Later he was made super
intendent of the open hearths where
he designed a number of changes to
the furnaces then being improvert.
These changes, however, didn't prove
very practical and were abandoned
later.
"Mr. Stafford was in charge of the
steel making here during the years of
1880-82, if I recall rightly," related
Mr. Parsons.
"It was in 1 878 that Mr. Stafford
was put in charge of the Bessemer de
partment. He Continued here until
the Fall of 188.1, I believe, when he
went to Chicago.
"Mr. Stafford was a well-booked
man," mused the veteran steelmaker
and he had an Immense mass of prac
tical knowledge at his finger tips. He
was well-liked by the men here and
lni indeed sorry to hear of his
death."
