HONOR MEMORY
OF PENNYPACKER
Notable Tributes Paid to For
mer Governor at Meeting in
the State Capitol
"The light from him will shine over
Pennsylvania for years to come," said
Governor Brumbaugh in closing a
flenditl tribute to the late Samuel W.
:nnypacker. Governor and Ptfiilic
Service Commissioner, at the memor
ial meeting held in the Hall of the
House of Representatives at the Capi
tol last night. It was an exceptional
meeting, something not known in the
State's capital city in many years and
it was the first meeting of the kind
held under auspices of the new Penn
sylvania State Society, of which Mr.
Pennypacker was a charter member.
The words spoken were by men close
ly associated with Mr. Pennypacker
and coming when his activities had
closed and his acts part of the history
of the Commonwealth he loved so well
i.hey touched many a responsive chord.
Cyrus E. Woods, secretary of the
I'ommonwealth and president of the
society, presided and opened the meet
ing by a few words in memory of the
Governor. Lilies decorated the speak
er's rostrum and palms and ferns were
placed upon the platform and beside
the flags of the State and nation. In
Ihe audience were many men promi
nent in official life and in Harrisburg
affairs and their families, many of
whom were close friends of the Gov
ernor and some of whom he had hon
ored.
Dr. Montgomery's Tribute
State Librarian Thomas Lynch
Montgomery, a fellow book lover of
the distinguished Philadelphian, told
of the immensely valuable services he
had rendered in collating material rel
ative to the history of the Keystone
State from original sources, mention
ing that the gifts which he bad made
or caused to be made to the Historical
Society of Pennsylvania at Philadel
phia were worth, according to Dr.
John W. Jordan, the figure of $425,-
000. Mr. Montgomery spoke of the
Pennypacker translations and telling
of his work as Governor said that his
vetoes were models. Personally, said
Mr. Montgomery, he had lost a firm
and loyal supporter in all he had done
in the State Library and Museum.
Spencer C. Gilbert, chairman of the
Capitol Park Extension Commission,
and a warm personal friend, related
some instances of the versatility of the
former Governor, his wonderful
knowledge and his loyalty to friends
and church as well as his interest in
Harrisburg. Mr. Gilbert's beautiful
tribute expressed the feeling of many
residents of this city.
John S. Rilling, Public Service Com
missioner, and a colleague of Mr.
Pennypacker, said that he gave the
State wonderful service and that his
association with him had not only been
delightful but had impressed him
with the industry, indefatigability and
courtesy of the former Governor.
Chairman Ainey, of the commission,
being detained by a hearing in Pitts
burgh, sent his regret at being un
ahie to be present which was express
ed by Mr. Woods.
The Governor's Words
In presenting the Governor, Mr.
Woods said that the love for Penn
sylvania and its people that had mark
ed the former Governor were a strik
ig characteristic of his long time
the present Governor.
Dr. Brumbaugh in opening said the
friendship of Governor Pennypacker
when he was a young man was an in
spiration and that whatever he knew
of Pennsylvania history and whatever
love he had for the Commonwealth
and its people came from his influ
ence. He was a great teacher of love
and loyalty for Pennsylvania and his
works will long endure.
The Governor said that City Con
troller John M. Walton, of Philadel
phia had told him that Mr. Penny
packer, when .iudge. had the clearest
idea of any judge of the fundamental
law of that city and that his decisions
were his lucid and conclusive guide.
"He knew more about Valley Forge
than some people who are talking to
day," said the . Governor in another
part of his address. "It is to his ini
tiative that we owe the Valley Forge
Park. He said 'keep Valley Forge for
Pennsylvania,' and that is why we
kept it for our State instead of turn
ing it over to the national government
as was done with Gettysburg."
The former Governor's love of na
ture, his command of trenchant Eng
lish. his ability to speak and write so
directly and so beautifully were eulo
ized by the Governor who said that
Mr. Pennypacker was "intellectuallv
and morally honest." He wore his
heart on his sleeve and some days
pecked at it, but the people have come
to realize what Samuel W. Pennypack
er was and what he did. He wrote
sreat acts into the organic law of the
Commonwealth and he was a fearless
and impartial commissioner.
During the exercises the men's chor
us sang several selections in keeping
with the spirit of the meeting.
The following resolution was offered
at the conclusion of the addresses by
A. B. Millar and adopted after a sec
ond by Samuel B. Rambo:
"Whereas, the members of the Penn
sylvania State Society have heard with
deep regret of the demise of their fel
low member, tho Honorable Samuel
Whltaker Pennypaeker, and
"Whereas, the members of the society
wish to testify to the affection and es
teem in which he was always held by
them, be It
"Resolved. That in the death of Mr.
Pennypaeker the society has lost one
of its most distinguished members, the
State of Pennsylvania one of its most
loyal sons, each member of the society
a valued friend.
"Resolved. That a copy of this reso
lution be sent to the family of tho de
ceased and that it be spread on the
minutes of the society."
The family of Mr. Pennypacker was
represented by James and Isaac W.
Pennypacker and Miss Pennypacker.

GAS STOVES MUST

Dr Samuel G. Dlxori, State Commis

Dr. Dixon says:
This is the season- of the year when
some heat at night and in the early
mornings is particularly desirable,
j Many people instead of starting their
J furnaces use gas stoves to take oft the
chill. Not infrequently because they
are only expedients, they use rubber
pipe connections and in the majority
of cases the stoves are not connected
with a flue.
Such an arrangement is dangerous In
the extreme. Kvery year many deaths
are reported as a result of just such
conditions. Coal gas or water gas
contains a large percentage of carbon
monoxide, and this saving a little or
