THAT LASTS
Chew "American Navy" and
Get Real Tobacco Taste
HIGH QUALITY, BIG VALUE
All the enjoyment and satisfac
tion of tobacco is in the taste.
The only way to taste tobacco is
to chew it. And the form of chew
that gives you the most taste is
the plug form.
Compare a sweet, juicy chew of
American Navy plug with a chew
of the best "scrap" tobacco. Right
away you'll see how much more
tasty and enjoyable is American
iNavy.
American Navy is made entire
ly of whole leaf—the same leaf
that is used in making good
cigars—and the - sweet, savory
juices that nature puts into the
ieaf are pressed evenly through
the whole plug, so that every
chew of American Navy fills you
plumb full of tasty satisfaction.
And that choice flavor of Amer
ican Navy lasts.
Get a 5c or ioc cut of Ameri
can Navy from your dealer and
try it. That will convince you.

THURSDAY EVENING,
NEW BOATHOUSE COMBINES
; . . • .. " ' . ' , " x - . V <: v.
j ~'J^^
In the development of the Susquehanna Basin the boating facilities will require the careful consideration
of all concerned. George K. Reist has established what he has dedicated as the "Municipal Port" oft the "Front
Steps" at South street. This boathous e which partakes somewhat of the nature of a houseboat is cleverly designed
along lines planned and suggested by Warren H. Manning, the expert adviser of the city in landscape and other
matters. It combines the latest and m ost advanced ideas for the various needs of the devotees of river sports and
is managed under the supervision and laws of the city.
The lower deck of the "Port" is used for the storing and rental of canoes and high-class boats while the up
per deck offers enjoyment to all. Re freshments are served at all times, there is music, and dancing is permissible.
Mr. Reist said to-day that he would welcome at any time those who desire to enjoy the pleasures of the
Suehanna breezes from the deck, of his novel dock.

Another faction regarded this plan
as impracticable ana was prepared

convention to complete the national
ticket. Influential Hull Moose leaders
from several States expressed them
selves as opposed to Doth these plans.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH

WHILE AT PLAY
School Authorities Experiment
ing With "City Beautiful"
Plan at Shimmell
If. in the near future, Harrlsburg's
host of school boys and girls do not
fully appreciate the worth of the "city
beautiful" idea, it will not be for lack
of a practicable lesson constantly be
fore their eyes in the way of floral
adornment of the school grounds.
An attractive scheme of grass, flow
er, and shrubbery planting has been
planned by the school board and the
idea is now being experimented with
around the Shimmell building.
The same method will be followed In
the floral and shrubbery adornment of
the new W. S. Steele grounds In the
upper end of the city if the Shimmell
experiment is productive of expected
results. The upper end grounds, how
ever will probably not be planted be
fore next year. And then, if the idea
continues to hold good, the other
buildings of the city will be similarly
treated.
j While the plan primarily is to incul
j cate in the minds of the children a
thorough appreciation of the beauties
' of nature, practical first-hand knowl
i edge of botany, and sense of protection
for trees and flowers, there is another
end toward which the school authori
ties have been working for the last few
years—the -establishing of outdoor
community center gathering places.
The whole planting movement is the
result of the united efforts of President
A. Carson Stamm and School Director
Harry A. Boyer, chairman of the
buildings and grounds committee.
The Planting Scheme
The Shimmell school occupies two
plots of ground at Seventeenth and
Catherine streets, one of which is
practically taken up by the building,
the other, by the playground. Around
the building grass and the heartier
type of flowering shrub, has been
planted. On the playground section
there will be flowering shrubs of the
huskier varieties although the colorful
effect will be given the right of way.
On this plot, too, there will be trees.
There, too, is where the coming out
door social center idea is to have a
chance to bud.
Benches will be placed about under
the trees for the people of the neigh
borhood who may wish to stroll over
in the evenings and rest or chat amid
the prettier surroundings!
The boys' and girls' sides of the
playground will be divided by a hedge
of heavier shrubs, such as lilacs and
similar plants. No fences will enclose
any portion of the school grounds.
"Our whole idea," explained Chair
man Harry A. Boyer in discussing the
subject to-day, "is to beautify the
grounds in a fray that will suggest its
own botanical lesson in a practical
way, while at the same time, the child
will learn to be thoughtful and care
ful of the flowers and shrubs. If the
experiment works out as we believe it
will, the Steele grounds will be treated
similarly next year and the other
buildings will be improved in the same
way. The scheme is very close to
President Stamm's heart, and the
other directors are equally enthusiastic.
And," concluded Mr. Boyer smilingly,
"from all neighborhood indications,
the youngsters themselves are surely
taking to it, admirably!"

Philadelphia Consul Says
Prisoners Were Well Treated
By Associated Press
Philadelphia, Aug. 3.—Michael Fran
cis Doyle, of this city, of counsel for
Roger Casement, in a statement given
out to-day in rc-ply to that m&de by
Lord Robert Cecil in London yester
dav, said that the "statement that
AUGUST 3, 1910
Irish prisoners in Germany suffered
undue hardships because they did not
join Casement's Irish brigade was
false, and no evidence of it appeared
at the trial."
"The rations of all the captive Irish
soldiers were cut down," Mr. Doyle
said, "but in proportion to the rations
of all the captive British soldiers, and
was due to the food shortage in Ger
many and not because of Casement's
presence there."
Mr. Doyle further stated that the
eight counts in the indictment against
Casement referred to acts committed
in Germany, and that the British gov
ernment refused a request made by
Casement to bring sixty witnesses from
Germany to testify in his behalf.
"When the criminal court of appeals
