Macklin turnoil iu an alarm from
bos No. 251. State and Myrtle streets.
District companies responded. Fire
t'hiof Kiudler personally took charge of
the firemer and directed them to try
to confine the fire to the paper store.
This was a mass of ilauios when the
engines arrived, the heat having al
ready broken the windows out on the
Myrtle street side.
four chemical streams and one plug
stream were turned into the store an I
the fire seemed to be under control,
when Assistant Fire Chief Halbert, on
an inspection trip to the second floor,
found a blaze under the (loor in the
hallway. A hole was cut in the floor
and chemical streams turned in
Fire Reaches Second Floor
The tire then spread to the office of
I>r. C. F. Keini, dentist, which was brok
en open by the firemen, and to two
other offices across the hallway, those
of Walter Johns, a manufacturer's
agent, and F. A. Kent, agent for the .
Cosmopolitan Industrial Insurance
Company. Damage was done in all
three offices
It was between Kent's office and the
hallway that the tire erei>t lip in the
[artition to a height of four feet aibove
the second floor. The flames were
stepped there by two heavy wooden
supports for pipes in the partition.
Smoke had poured into all of the
offices an.! the lodge rooms in the.
building, it beiug so thick in the ban- i
quet hall, on the top floor that it was
difficult to see. Mayor Royal and City
Klectrieiaa Diehl, wuo are prominent
Masons, le 1 a number of lodge mem-j
bers to the third and fourth floors,
where the Harrisburg lodges are housed
and despite the almost suffocating
smoke, carried the vakiaAde books an 1
papers and other belongings of the
lodges to a place of safety nearby.
Men with ofli'es in the second floor
also took safety precautions ia remov
ing valuable belongings, .lames W.
Barker, manager of the Harrisburg
Fee 1 and Gram Company, placed most
of his valuables in the safe and then
made his way to the street. The smoke
was so strong outside his office door •
that he hid to put a wet handkerchief :
over his face to make the stairway.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken by Fire Chief Kindler to see;
that no fire was left smouldering be- 1
fore he ordered the firemen back to
uuarters. This included a visit to every :
floor of the buiUiing. For a time it
was thought that the fire would break
out on the third floor on the Myrtle
vtreet side iu one of the lodge rooms.j
as smoke kept pouring from under the
window sill.

STATE IS SPENDING LESS
Disbursement in Present Fiscal Year
8«,;M9,510 Below Those of 1913
The Auditor General to-day reported
receipts for the year totaling $29,633,-
727.27. For the year 1913, to the
same period, the receipts were $32.-
243.229.91; but last year's figure in
eluded receipts of State personal prop I
ertv tax. The fiscal year is nearly!
enough completed to show that the reve- j
nues for the year ending November,
30, 1914, will exceed $30,000,000.
The receipts from personal property i
tax last year were $5,312,175.11. This'
will show a slight increase of revenue
from sources other thau State personal)
property tax.
The total payments for the year j
1914 to date have been $30,143, -j
534.53, while for the same period of 1
last year they were $36,483,044.97;'
the pavtnents thus having decreased $6,-
339,510.44.
In commenting upon the showing the
Auditor General said that, by extraor
dinary effort in the collection of re
ceipts and by paring payments as much j
as possible, the State had been able to!
get through a very hard year without 1
working any great hardship or showing
an actual deficit at any time, although
payments in a number of instances have J
been delayed beyond dates at which
they bp.-; been made in former vears. !
receipts at the State Treasury,
for the closing day of the week were
$732,451.97. Of that amount the Unit- i
ed Gas Improvement Company paid in \
$348,000 and the Pennsylvania Kail-i
road Company $223,029.96. Other big!
corporations made up the balance. The
fiscal year will end on November 30.

LOAD; OF PENNIES PUT IN
PANS AS j:KE ON STOI'GH
Members of Tabernacle Chorus Donate
7,008 of the Total 8,.126 Coppers
Received in Last Night's Collection
At Instigation of Spooner
There lias been an average of about
3,000 pennies in the collections lifted
at the Stough tabernacle each night,
since the opening of the campaign.
Last night was the record night. There
was a total of 9,526 pennies in the
collection, which in a straight column
would measure just 35 feet.
The reason is not that more persons
are giving pennies, but that persons
are giving more pennies, and it was
sort of a put up job, too. The audience
gave only 2,518 of the pennies, which
is a normal amount at present. The
choir gave the other 7,008 "Indians."
The guilty ones blame Musical Direc
tor Spoover, who, it is alleged, put
them up to it as a little joke on Dr.
Stough.
The pans go around in the choir be
fore the collection is lifted in the audi
ence. When the offering was taken in
the choir loft last night there was con
siderable giggling and whispering.
Prof. Spooner knew what it was all
ai>out, but he didn't let on. Some of
the young men and young women in
the chorus put into the pans rolls of
twenty-five pennies fresh from the
bank, while others lionatad coppers
which they had taken particular pains
to gather together, Jiy having nickels
and dimes changed for chewing gum
and candy before entering the taber
nacle.
The total collection last night was
$250.47, very nearly a hundred dollars
of which was represented by the small
est coins of the realm. Iu the vaults
of the East End bank. Treasurer lief
feltinger has in keeping a total of
71,000 coppers, collected at the taber
nacle since the opening of the cam
paign. These coins, if they were in
an upright column, would tower way
above the tallest building in Harris
burg.
HOSPITAL'S THAKKjCIVINC
Bags to Receive Donations All Dis
tributed and the Collection Will
Be Made Tuesday
Distributors of the several thousand
paper bags ia which will be placed the
annual donations of this city and vicin
ity for the Harrisburg Hospital, hav
ing completed their work, they feel as
sured that the gifts to this institution
will be more bountiful this year than
ever before.
No better idea of the need for these
gifts can be gained than from a mere
cursory glance at the last annual re
port of the staff of the hospital. During
1913 there were 8,456 patients treat
ed. Of this number 5,320 were in the
dispensary and 2,258 in wards or rooms.
Of those who were admitted to the
dispensary 2,34 9 needed surgical treat-
and 1,430 of the other patients
required the services of a surgeon.
While some of the patients were able
to pay in full or in part for their treat
ment a very large number was unable
to meet any financial obligations and it
is for worthy similar cases that the col
lections at Thanksgiving time will be
made next week.
The baps have been sent not only
throughout Harrisburg but into the
surrounding country, in fact to all
towns ami communities from which pa
tients were sent to the hospital.
The collections will be made in Har
risburg next Tuesday while the towns
in this vicinity will b e visited Wed
nesday.

INJIACE SUIT
Continued Krom First Fife.
who presided in civil court here this
week, gave the ease to the jury at
10.50 o'clock this morning and im
mediately afterward left for his home
in Lewisburg. The verdict was taken
by Judge S. J. M. MeCarroll.
Since the jury decided in favor of
the plaintiffs the city also will have
to pay the costs which, it is believed,
will far exceed the amount of dam
ages.
In Court House circles, it is figured
that this case will have much bearing
on, other similar actions for damages
which, attorneys say, are to be brought
against the city growing out of the
condemnation for street opening pur
poses, of other real estate bordering
along the river front.
Only recently the city decided to
take over the ' buildings and ground
comprising the " llardscrabble'' dis
trict and immediately before that the
city passed legislation by which it
hopes to gain possession of all land
situated between the present western
line of Front street and tho low water
mark of the Susqueliana*Triver.
The damages allowed to the plain
tiffs in the South Harrisburg case are
much less than was claimed, oach in
dividual propertv owner having sued
for SI,OOO
The damage suit decided to-day was
oue of the most hotly contested* that
has ever beeu staged in the Dauphin
county courts. When the city decided
to extend Front street southward and
build the intercepting sewer and the
protective wall, the Koeaiig, Miller and
Schlitzer lands, on the west side of
Front street, were condemned by tie
city and taken over for the opening
of the street.
board of viewers decided that the
property owners had been damaged but
that the benefits to be derived by them
through the street opening and the ad
ditional improvements would offset the
damages by slightly less than a hun
dred dollars in each case. Rather than
pay the assessments the three property
owners appealed and an issue was
framed resulting in tie trial this week.

More than seventy thousand ardent
followers of the game filled to the brim
this latest and greatest of athletic
arenas for the championship contest of
1914. It was a record crowd, bubbling
over with intercollegiate rivalry and
enthusiasm, as well as eagerness for
what was anticipated would prove tho
last word in football strategy.
Harvard was a slight favorite before
the struggle began, although the im
provement in the condition of the field
after Thursday's storm narrowed the
odds to nearly even*money.
The forenoon weather conditions
were entirely favorable for good foot
ball. The sky was clear and a light
northwest breeze was pufling down from
the Connecticut uills. It was snapping
cold and the ground in the bowl was
like asphalt early in the day.
Welcoming the Great Crowds
The forenoon was spent in welcoming
the crowd to New Haven. The gather
ing of so great a multitude, numbt-..ug
nearly two full army corps, occupied
practically three days, vet nine-tenths
of those who came" plahned to leave
within a few hours after the final

! THE SONGS OF
Selected By J. HOWARD WERT
J
No. 309. «<! Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now"
You have lovod lots of girls in the sweet long ago,
And each one has mennt heaven to yon;
ou have vowed your affection to each one in turn,
And have sworn to them nil you'd be true;
ou have kissed neath the moon, while the world seemed in tune,
Then you've left her to hunt a new game.
Does it ever occur to you later, my boy,
That she's probably doing the same?
Chorus
I wonder who's kissing lier now, wonder who's teaching her how?
Wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathiug sighs, telling lies?
1 wonder who's buying the wine for lips that 1 used to call mine?
wonder If she ever tells him of me? 1 wonder who's kissing her now?
If you want to foel wretched and lonely and blue.
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed.
But the world moves apace, and the "loves of to-day
Flit away with a smile and a tear;
So you never can tell who is kissing her now.
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year.
"Dirge for a Soldier"
By George H. Boker
George Henry Boker (1823-1890), American poet, was born and died in
Philadelphia. Educated at Princeton, he studied law, but never practiced, lie
was made Minister to Turkey in 1871 and Minister to Russia from 1875 to
1879. He published several volumes of verse anil wrote the tragedies "Fran
cesca da Rimini," "Anne Bolevn" and "Leonore de Guzman." The following
lines were written in memory of General Philip Kearney ( 1815-1862), who was
killed at Chantilly, Va., September 1, 1862.
Close his eyes; his work is done! Fold him in his country's stars,
What to him is friend or foeinan, Roll the drum and tire the volley!
Rise of moon, or set of sun, What to him are all our wars,
Hand of man, or kiss of woman? What but death-bemocking folly?
Lay him low, lay him low. Lay him low, lay him low,
Tn the clover or the snow; In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? he cannot know; What cares he? he cannot know;
Lay hiin low! Lay him low!
As a man may, he fought his fight, Leave him to Ood's watching eve,
Proved his truth by his endeavor; Trust him to the hand that made him;
Let him sleep in silent night, Mortal love weeps idly by.
Sleep forever and forever; God alone has power to aid him.
Lav him low, lay him low. Lay him low, lay him low.
In the clover or the snow! In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? ho cannot know; What cares he? ho cannot know;
Lay him low! Lay him low!
REBATES FOR COMMUTERS?
Service Commission Announces It May
Require "Excess Certificates"
Pending Rate Controversy
The State Public Service Commission
issued the following statement to-day
regarding the proposed increase in rail
road rates for commuters:
"The Public Service (Commission has
no power to suspend the proposed in
crease of passenger rates of the rail
road companies, but tine act creating
the Commission does provide that it
may require the companies to issue to
■their patrons a certificate or other evi
dence of payment made by them, in ex
cess of the prior established rate, of an
increase, of which rate notice shall be
given to the commission and the pub
lic.
The probability is that, the Commis
sion wili require the railroad compa
nies to furnish the evidence of in
crease, in order that in the event of
the increase being held by tho Commis
sion to be unreasonable or excessive,
each passenger may be in a position to
establish tho amount of reparation he
is justly entitled to under the repar
ation clause of the statute."
Several more protests from com
muters, objecting to the increase, were
received to-day.
MERCURY DROPS TO 24
Cold Wave Did Not Prove So Strong—
Warmer To-day
Dissipating faster than expected, the
cold wave clid not give Harrisburg sis
low temperature as forecasted, but it
sent the mercury to 24 degrees last
night, the night proving to be thu
coldest of the present season. A tem
perature one degree higher is expected
for to-night, and further rises arc fore
casted for this city to-morrow.
Last night 's temperature was enough
to fill the river with slush ice and
above the bridges in lower Harrisburg
ice formed to the distance of 200 feet
from the shore. The fact that the
velocity of t.He stream is lessened »u
account of the municipal dam. across
the river at Iron alley is given as a
reason for the forming of so much ice.
The cold wave was central off the
gulf coast this morning, the upper
eastern half of the country being in
the grip of a storm. The frosts in the
south were generally killing. Sunday
will be a nice day' with rising tem
perature.

LAW OF 201 YEARS AGO USED
Ancient Ruling Is AppUed to Case in
Which Damage Award Is 6 Cents
An old English law enacted in 1713
exactly 201 years ago, played an im
portant part in a slander suit dis-posed
of fiually in the common pleas court
session, which closed this afternoon. It
was tho suit brought by Mary Pajrich
against Paul Lovranitch, in which a
6-cent verdict was awarded to the plain
tiff 1
The rule laid down more than 200
years ago provides that in slander suits,
only when the amount of the verdict
exceeds 40 Shillings, shall tho costs be
paid by the defendant.
Since the verdict in the Pajrich suit
was but 6 cents, or less than 40 shil
lings, the plaintiff will pay costs,
which, it is said, will rrn close to SIOO.
