' MAJOR ENSMINGER TO GIVEUP BUSINESS [Continued from First Page.] 1881, he fell five flights down the Elevator shaft and as he -puts it "stove himself up considerable." All the doctors in Harrisburg wanted to cut oft what was left of his legs but Mother Ensminger insisted that the Major hold on to them, and he did. Reoords of Last Century Not the least interesting objects In this old curiosity shop to-day were the business books of Philip Ensmin ger, the Major's father, who was bi\-n hero In 1802. He and his brother. Uncle Joe, who liver to be a hundred. Quarried stone out of the Susquehanna to build the first Capi tol. They also helped to build the llrst bridge over the river. Philip Ensminger had the swell meat store in town those days and Judge George Kunkle will probably grin to hear that one of his ancestors of this very day in the year 1880 bought nine pounds of veal from Phil. Ensmin ger for 58 cents. If any relatives of | Ellns Zollinger are alive they may I be Interested to learn thAt he was able to (tet five and three-quarter pounds of prime beef at Ensmlnger's for S5 certs. All the quality folks in town pat ronized this market and Major En sminger very proudly turned over the leaves Jo-day as he recalled those gentle folk of days gone by. Here were such names as Samuel Boyer, Sam. Bryson, John Stahley, James R. Boyd, Peter Bernhelsel, Mont gomery, Kunkel, William Duncan Bucher, Charles Carson, John Rudy, Riker, Chandler, Uhler. John Wiest llng, Weinbrenner. Zollinger and Al derman Henry Badcr. William Dun can. on this day more than eighty years ago was lucky to get five and one-half pounds of fresh pork for 34 cents and the Boyd family wal lowed In lour and one-half pounds of calves' liver for the total Invest ment of 28 cents. Time to Quit Both Major Ensminger and his wife feel that as they are approach ing 80 years in age it is time to give up the old place with all its dear memories, but it is with great pride that they give way to the de mands of Father Time. The Major is still lively as a cricket and very game. "If they would give me a motorcar and a Gatling gun." said he. "I would go over there right now and help our boys." The Major embarked In the fur niture business in 1859, succeeding his father early as 1836. Scarcely had he time to settle himself in busi ness when "giant rebellion" showed its head, and he responded to his country's first call for troops to de fend the Union, serving with the three months' defenders as a private in the Lochiel Grays. Returning home when his time of service ex pired, he closed up his business, re enlisted with the nine months' men, entering the service for the second time as a private, he was. when mus tered out. the second lieutenant of his company. Returning home he immediately rhised a company in re sponse to the President's call for one-year troops, of which he was IEIE icir==—inf==imr=s=iFir==jnf==inra==inr==inr==ninncs=irif==iCTr==<n ASTRICH'S I g Great Bargain Hat Sale this Monday j Hats About Five Hundred Untrimmed Hats | W Hats go on Sale This Monday at M £OCTwenty-Five Cents CDC q a Black and Colored Hemp and Lisere Hats at this ridiculously | ® low price as a Final Close out price for this season.

Adams, who went Into the service, with Captain Ensminger flr*t as fergoant in the nine months' serv ice, and again as first lieutenant of the company of one-year men that Mr. Ensminger raised. The firm of Ensminger and Adams continued five years, when the latter retired, and Mr. Ensmlnger carried on the business at the old stand, corner of Second and Chestnut streets, and in the meantime established a branch store at corner oj Third and Cumber land streets which he still runs. "Handsomest business building that adorns this city" was the way the local papers spoke of the flvo story structure which was being va cated to-day by the Ensmlngers. Aii Old Account A first column, first page account told how the plans and drawings of this model building were gotten up by Frank E. Davis, of this city. The mason work was done by the I.yme Brothers. J. Shaffer had charge of the granite and sandstone work. The brick laying was done by Joseph and A. K. Black, who pronounce It the best put up structure In this city; the bricks are from the well-known yards of Muench and McCleaster; Peter Bertihelsel: Jr., had charge of the carpenter work: the plumbing and gasfittlng was done by Messrs. I-ysle and Poole, the plastering by J. Stromingfcr and the tin work by S. H. Kautz, all well known skilled mechanics of this city. The orna mental cornice piece that surmounts the .structure with nhme and busi ness in raised letters is the work of Messrs. Austin, Opdyke & Co., of Philadelphia. Greatest Interest was taken to-day by crowds who rambled all over the five floors, many moved only from curiosity. There arc good books In fine condition galore; much hard wood furniture and odd things like a Union soldier's overcoat in sood condition.. Major Ensminger will re tire immediately from business, nav ing leased his place for ten years to Norman DeGray. HOUSING^CONDTTIONS MENACE TO CITY [Continued from First Page.] of the conditions which contribute to his health, happiness, education and success are largely dependent upon the environment which city officials 'allow to grow up around him. Within this city there arc living conditions which need Im provement, where fresh air and sun light never penetrate. Every tene ment should be fit for huma.i habi tation, with sufficient light, Tresh air and sunlight never penetrate. Every tenement should be fit for human habitation, with sufficient light, fresh air and sanitary conveniences to guard against disease. Housing Big Factor "Housing conditions are a direct factor in the incidents of many dis eases, notable tuberculosis, anaemia and acute Infections of childhood. How necessary the provision of light and air; sanitary plumbing, tho ex- elusion of, dampness, the elimination of filth, vermin and various nuis ances and adequate fire protection, if we want to maintain-the vitality of our population and the productive worth of our Industrial machine. Our city cannot hold Industrial su premacy If Its people are debilitated and physically unfit. The question of healthy housing is not a fud, but simply a matter of sheer com mon sense. Good citizenship and professional interests require the in telligent physician to take a part In studying this indispensable factor in the comfort and well being of our citizens." '"Bhe Telegraph," he said, "Is to bo commi nded In its efforts, and sooner or later, and Oh, lot It be soon, the city will wake up to the fact that many epidemics have started from Improper housing."
