' In the upper end of the city there
, j is an aged colored street sweeper nani-
I ed Harris. He is said to be over ninety
years old, but this doesn't hinder him

judged the motorpower of his wagon,
i Placing his dinner pail inside and seat
' Ing himself on top, albeit he lapped
over more or less on both sides, he
started down the hill for his morning
Joyrlde, intending as usual, to turn up
Fourth street at the bottom of the hill.

l as bis wagon approached the streetcar
track In Fourth street. He couldn't
stop the wagon an; instead of making
the turn into Fourth street was cata

ningham makes the third major ap
pointment for the Governor to 1111. In
addition to the highway commissioner
ship he will name a Fire Marshal and
an Insurance Commissioner. No names
have been mentioned for the highway
place, which will require a man of
extraordinary talent to till Mr. Cun
ingham's place. The present acting
Fire Marshal and Insurance Commis
sioner are being urged for appoint
ment to those places. The State In
surance Fund Board has also to name
a manager at $7,500 a year. Albert L.
Allen, the assistant manager, who or
ganized the fund, has been urged for
the place for the same reason that
Messrs. Wolfe and McCulloch have
been talked of in conjunction with the
places they now till temporarilv.
For some time it has been the belief
that Public Service Commissioner John
Monaghan will be named as judge in
Philadelphia, which will make a va

of the members of that board.

closed to-day out of respect to High

city of Bebanon if it desires to make
answei to the complaint of the Beb

pany that it is furnishing water in a
district recently annexed to the city
without having obtained a State certi

AUDIENCE WITH KAISER
REGARDED GOOD OMEN
[Continued From First Page.]
Although no information has been
given out regarding the purpose of
Ambassador Gerard's journey, It is
evident that Emperor William wishes
a thorough personal talk with him in
order to obtain a clearer view of the
American position on the submarine
issue.
The ambassador and Secretary Grew
traveled in a special saloon car attach
ed to a regular train placed at their
disposal. Mr. Gerard was attended by
the embassy's chasseur. The train
will reach its destination at 7 p. m. to
morrow (Friday) and Ambassador
Gerard expects to return on Satur
day.
The invitation to visit the German
headquarters was brought to the am
bassador personally by Foreign Min
ister Von Jagow.
The invitation is regarded in fin
ancial circles asia good omen. Never
theless, experienced observers consid
er flie situation still very serious and
believe that the mere fact of the am
bassador's meeting with the Emperor
and his advisers is of less importance
than what was done at the conference
at German headquarters. The ulti
mate decision at Washington is held to
be quite incalculable until it is known
how far Germany meets American
wishes.
The news that Ambassador Gerard
was going to the headquarters was
already known nt noon to-day, but the
censors for some mysterious reason
refused to allow cablegrams to
be sent announcing that fact until
to-night; just as they had refused to
pass dispatches with news that the
American note had been handed to
the foreign office, until the next day.

one of the Swiss passengers on board
the channel steamer Sussex when she
was blown up on March 24, offered to
make a sworn statement concerning
the Sussex case, but that his deposi
tion was not taken because his ac
count did not appear to be reliable
and because statements from Amer

Beautify Schoolhouse
Grounds at Paxtang
Paxtang, Pa., April 28.—Children in
the borough schools are beautifying
tho grounds about their building by
planting trees, shrubbery and flowers.
Prior to the planting a program was
carried out in one of the schoolrooms
and the singing of the children was
one of the features. Sheldon W. Funk,
of Boyertown, one of the farm advisers
of the State Department of Agricul
ture, talked on plants and flowers and
at the conclusion of the program ho
showed the children how to plant the
flowers and shrubs. His talk and sug
gestions offered during the planting
proved quite valuable to the young
sters. Quite a number of visitors
were attracted to the school and they
took a lively interest in the affair.
Around the school building forty
pieces of shrubbery were planted and
they were the gifts of W. E. Seel and
Arthur H. Bailey, of Paxtang, and the
Berryhill Nursery, of Ilarrisburg. The
trees were provided by H. F. Eyster,
of Paxtang, and J. F: Rolirer & Son,
real estate doalers, who are much in
terested in the development of the bor
ough. The flowers, which were put in
a bed dug by the children, were pur
chased by the teachers with the money
given them by me scholars.
Because of the poor condition of
some of the soil it was necessary to
get some top soil, and this was donated
by Josh E. Rutherford and James
Reichley. The school board provided
the necessary funds to pay for the
digging and spreading of the top soil.
