An offer is made at each performance of the athletic show that a prize of $5 will be given to any person, who can classify as to weight, who will box against the carnival boxer, and an ad ditional pri/.e of $5 is given if the light lasts three rounds or more. 'Last night William Snyder, 1445 Zarker street, thinking this Vas an easy way to make money, .went in the ring ag'ainst one of the carnival box ers. He staid in for the full three rounds, and this morning had a beau tifully-decorated eye. One of the attractions that is the best drawer is Nero, the savage tiger, that killed its keeper in Binghainton in front of a large crowd on June 10, 1914. This was the second keeper that has suffered death on .account of the ferocity of the beast. The present keeper is, however, undaunted and at every performance enters the cage con taining this savage animal and make 9 it perform.

Jackson and Robert Hender sou, panhandlers who invaded Harris burg early in the week .with the ex press purpose of getting a wad of money through "begging and bluff ing.' are now breaking stone and earning their board by the "sweat of their brow." Thev are the first of the hobo class to go to the county work house, each having been sentenced to thirty days bv Mayor Koval last evening on vagrancy charges. Over tht,' hills to the poor house they went. After being turned over to S. F. Barber, the custodian of the alms house, they were given a bath and placed in cells, which have been pro vided in the basement of the county institution. The stone crusher is now in working order, thousands of tons of Mick have been blasted from the quarry and there will be plenty of work in the future for these beggars as well as all others who are taken before the Mayor and given stone pile sentences. Mayor Royal this afternoon said he plans to send all defendants of that type to the workhouse here-after. The only escape drunks and panhandlers will have from the workhouse sentence will be to comply with the alternative of paying a fine. It is the plan of the county officials to have the men in charge of the stone crusher sworn in with full powers of a policeman, so that, while they are directing the work they also will have facilities for pre venting the defendants from escaping. Library Closed During Parade The Harrisburg Public Library will he closed from 1 to 6 o'clock to-mor row because of the State Firemen's parade. It will be open in the evening at the usual hours.

In New York city, he gave his recipe for hale and hearty old age.

It has impressed me that every time they want to spend a lot of state money thoy name a commission. Much of the work these commissions are ere-' ated to do could be better handled by 1 the regular officers or employes of the •State. The sums paid to architects, engineers and superintendents and for transportation of commissioners have grown to be appalling to one having a geueral view of the expenses of the. State.
