NEW EXTENSION
TO BE ANNEXED
Council Will Soon Have Ordi
nance Making Pine Street De
velopment Part of Borough
That the large tract of land east of
the borough now being developed by
Henry A. Kelker, Jr., known as the
Pino Street Extension, will soon be
annexed to the borough was indicated
following a meeteing of the Highway
and Finance committees of council
at the east end of Pine street yester
day afternoon.
The councilmen met with a view
to going over the section to decide
whether or not to extend the bor
ough's water and sewer lines about
800 feet beyond the present borough
line. While there will be no report
of the committees until the next meet
ing of council it is understood that
the extensions will be made.
t In municipal circles it is believed
I that an ordinance annexing this tract
to the borough will be presented in
j council at an early date and from
recent declarations of councilmen it
| will be passed.
Annexation of this section will be
Jan advantage to the borough because
of its increased area and to the prop
j erty owners in the extension because
otherwise they cannot obtain water
j supply or drainage facilities.

Philadelphia institution at once with
the aid of as many selected deputies,
Sheriff Caldwell says he'll hereafter
take only two at a time, although
more Journeys to the prison will be
necessary. One deputy will accom
pany him. "This method will cost
the sheriff's office a little more, per
haps," said he, "but it will reduce
the chances of escape of prisoners."

by fair and cooler ;
OLD MA NATURE
DROPS CURTAIN
Everybody Behaved but the
Weatherman; Postpone Ca
baret to Hallowe'en
"All right for you, Mister Weather
Man!"
Blue skies, sunshine as warm as late
September can produce, garnished with
the balmiest of breezes, to-day won't
compensate .some thousand* of eager
Harrisburg folks and some more thou
ands from surrounding town-: , for the
unkind ending provided for lnst night's
prdgram of the big uniform Kali open
ing celebration of Harrlsbuvg's mer
chants.
Everybody who had eyes to see or
ears to hear had looked forward to
what was expected last night to be tho
last act, the grand finale of the great
Fall Fashion show, Band concerts, a
fantastic parade and a great open air
dance In Market Square were on the
program, and—
The Only One With a Grouch
The Wtather Man suddenly and un
expectedly rung down the dampest,
bluest, dreariest curtain ever woven by
old Ma Nature, before the act was
under way.
So the merchants, in co-operation
with the Chamber of Commerce, de
cided that the big show isn't to be
called off Indefinitely—lt Is only to be
postponed until Hallowe'en. And then
Harrlsburg, by the way. Is going to
have a celebration that will be some
event.
Market Square, the center of the big
stage was all set for the show last
evening. Before 7 o'clock the northern
section of Market Square looked like
a stop-over or checking station of a
great automobile tour. Cars were
parked two rows deep all around the
curb.
Ready For the Final Curtain
The dancing space had been roped
off, the telephonic chimes were Jing
ling, "flood-lights" were turning tho
Square Into daylight, and the thousands
of people were all ready to watch the
rise of the last curtain—when the anti
climax that proved to be a real climax,
startled the sightseers and sent them
a-scurrying to nearest cover.
Hundreds of Peirrotte and Peir
rot, from the six-foot chap to
the tiny three-foot high clown,
were out in force: never did
yama-yama girl so quickly change her
lilt of Joy to a sob of sorrow. Here
and there In doorways, under awnings,
snuggled in automobiles. Jammed upon
car platforms—the quaintly costumed
maskers crowded and waited for the
skies to quit weaping.
An They Do In Far Countries
V. Grant Forrer, chairman of the
board of Judges and John P. Guyer the
"floor manager" for the dance, waited
under a nearby awning with the vain
hope that the storm would cease and
let the dance go on.
But the Weather Man had a grouch,
perhaps; anyway, it rained and rained
I and rained.
And when it became known that the
I big affair was to be postponed until
! Hallowe'en the prevailing opinion was
: expressed by a tidy feminine clown:
"Say, papa," she observed, "I guess
j we'll have to do as they do In foreign
i countries when It rains, won't we?"
"And how is that, my dear?"
I "Let it rain!"
Work Will Start Soon on
Monument to Maine Victims
Havana, Sept. 23. Work will be
commenced next week on the monu
ment In memory of the victims of the
United States battleship Maine, blown
up In Havana harbor in February,
I 1898. The monument will be erected
in a small park opposite the Santa
Clara battery, near the wall of the
Malecon.
On either side of the memorial a
staff will be placed on which will be
hoisted the Stars and Stripes and the
flag of the Cuban republic. The mon
ument will be on a base sixteen feet
in height, the total height to be 6 7
feet.
The principal feature of the monu
ment to be erected to the victims of
the Maine in Havana will be the
after-turret of the battleship and two
of its guns. These relics were pre
sented to the Cuban government by
the American Congress. The monu
ment will cost SIOO,OOO which was
transferred for the purpose by Presi
dent Menocal from unusual credits
after the Cuban Congress failed to
i make an appropriation.
, WILSON' CALLS MILITARISM
"ABOMINABLE" PRINCIPLE
New York, Sept. 23. A letter
i from President Wilson declaring that
i the spirit and principle of militarism
: were "abominable" to him was made
; public here by the Students Pacifists,
an organization arranging an anti
militarist demonstration on Septem
ber 30 in opposition to tho new State
legislation requiring military training
in public schools. The President, after
declining an Invitation to speak,
wrote:
"There need be no misunderstand
ing as to my position. I have again
and again made it as plain as language
can make it. 1 am in favor of ade
quate defense, and no more. The
whole spirit and principle of militar
ism is abominable to me, and I do not
think that anything that has been
done has been done in the militaristic
spirit. It has, on the contrary, been
conceived and carried out with the sin
gle purpose of rendering the country
safe against external danger."

Thorn Prepares Form
of Soldiers' Ballot
George D. Thorn, chief clerk to the
Secretary of the Commonwealth, has
prepared the form of ballots for the
soldiers to vote. The ballot is about
the size of the official ballot and has
the Supreme Court nonpartisan space
at the top. The Democratic, Repub
lican. Socialist and Prohibition presi
dential tickets are in the order named,
with the state tickets in the usual
spaces. There will be no names printed
for Congress, legislative or mine in
spector elections, as soldiers will be
required to write in names. Pamphlets
containing the names of candidates
will be furnished.
One Democratic electoral candidate
from Schuylkill remains to be inserted.
It is expected that numerous inde
pendent nominations will be filed for
the Legislature before October 2, judg
ing from the number of forms which
have been requested. The Single Tax
state committee to-day got a large
number of nomination papers for the
Legislature.
W. F. Burr, Prohibition candidate
for the House in McKean, withdrew
to-day, as did Clellan Bowan, Wash
ington nominee for the House in Leb

Military Hue For
1917 Harley-Davidson
Military fashions have extended
beyond the range of feminine attire,
for now, we are told the effect will
reach motorcycle decorations. Per
haps the big part the motorcycle is
playing in present military circles
is responsibe to a large degree for
the innovation, but at any rate Heagy
Bros., Harley-Davidson dealers have
announced a new color for the 1917
machines. The new color is called a
"military hue" being much of the fa
miliar Olive Drab, the color worn by
our own boys down along the Rio
Grande. There is little room for
doubt as to the practicability of the
new color and the attractiveness of
the n v machines certainly cannot be
lessened by the new dress.
