LAST MEETINGS
TO BETO-MORROW
Revivalist Calls All Who Have Blocked
Campaign "Red-handed Murderers"
and Declares Even Christ Would Be
Crucified If He Preached Here
To-day was moving day for members
of the Stough party. In their rooms
at the Y. W. C. A. building and at the
Pine street residence they packed their
personal belongings in readiness for a
hurried flight following to-monrow
evening's tabernacle service, or on
Monday morning, and at the South
Third street headquarters they boxed
all their oflice 'paraphernalia to send on
to Altoona.
Some of the members of the party
are going to their homes during their
week's recess before the opening of
the Atloona campaign, and others will
\ isit friends and relatives. Dr. Henry
W. Stough will spend Christmas week
at his home, Wheaton, III.; the Rev.
K. T. Cartwright at his home, Delaware,
Ohio; Miss Olive M. Rogers at her
home, Waverly, N. Y.; Prof. D. Li.
Spooner with his father, Mt. Carmel;
Miss Sara C. Palmer with friends at
Carlisle; Miss Florence Saxman at her
home, Tyrone; Miss Daisy" Eggleston at
her home, Wilkes-Barre; H. K. W. Pat
terson at his home, Philadelphia; Fred
D Cartwright at the home of his bride;
Newberry, and W. P. Erwin, whose
home is in Texas, with friends in'
New York. The other two members
<>f the party. Miss Josephine Colt and
W. \V. Shannon, are now at Altoona,
and will spend the week in the work of
preliminary organization there.
Farewell Parties Given
The closing days of t>he party's stay
in this city have been marked by in
formal farewells and the presentation
of gifts to members of the party by
men, women and ohildVeu with whom
tliev have worked.
The Altoona Htough campaign is
scheduled to open Sunday, December
27, by which time the taibernacle there
is expected to be in readiness.
Dr. Stough preached the last of his
series of sermons to women onlv at the
taibernacle this afternoon. His theme
was "The White Slave Traffic."
Accusations of Murder
At the, tabernacle last night more
than a hundred men, women and chil
dren hit the trail following a sermon
by Or. Stoug'h o.i the text, "Ye Would
Not," in which he accused those who
rejected Christ of being murderers of
good motives, of good conscience and of
the physical messengers of Christ.
In elaborating on this last point, the
revivalist cited himself as an nexainple
of a persecuted preacher.
"You probably noticed," he said,
"that within two d ys after I came to
th:s city men began to take sides
against me. Not only were threats
made against my life, but there has
been that which is equivalent. Men
ha\e hated me, ami hatred in the heart
is murder, says the Lord. I defy any
man to say that this is a personal mat
ter. T have had no personal rancor
toward a single person. Why is it,
when there is no personal enmity to
ward this mail on the platform, that I
am so treated by thousands!
Harrisburg "Wicked as Hell"
"I'll tell you why. Truth and er
ror ar« always pitted against each oth
er. The church is against the world,
and salvation against damnation. When
the prophets of old spared not and
preached against worldliness and god
lessness, do you think the sinners
would stand for it long? Xot much.
So they killed every one of them. And
I want to say that there is not a per
son who has blocked this campaign
who, if the logic of his actions were
carried out. would not be a red-handed
murderer. Harrisburg, so far as its tin
regenerate heart is concerned, is as
wicked as those who slew the prophets,
as wicked as hell itself.''
Declaring that "men who hate the
fciuth-preacher hate the truth that sent
the truth-preacher," Dr. Stough next
asserted that "if Jesus Christ should
come to this earth again as the first
time, in die same unknown personality,
and should dare to do up on Capitol
Hill what He did in the temples of
Jerusalem, I promise von there would
be erected on Capitol Hill another cross
of Calvarv, on which another Nazarene
would be crucified. You've had a min
iature of Calvary ano its tragedy in
iHnrrisburg during the last six weeks.
You've crucified the truth.'
Whiskey Bottle in Spoils
Among the trail hitters of the even
ing were several married couples as
usual, together with husbands who had
been persuaded by wives, and wiven
by husbands. One man gave up a pimt
K'hiskey bottle, half full of liquor,
which had a prominent place on the
7ilatform during the after meeting. l>r.
Wtough at first intended to pour the
contents out on the sawdust, 'hint not
liking the odor of the liquor he thought
better of it and corked the bottle, pla
ning it in charge of Prof. Spooner. IJulte
a number of cigarettes, some loose to-
IWK'CO and a pipe were also among the
spoils. One young man protested when
his cigarettes were asked for and he
was not pressed further.
A minister's son was in the throng,
as well as the son of one of the de
partment chairmen of the campaign.
The latter told Or. Stough he was mar
lied 'but did not live with his wWe, and
the evangelist held a short consulta
tion with the boy's parents, the results
of which he did not announce.
Last Trail-Hitting To-night
To-night Or. Stoug'h will preach his
last sermon hereto unconverted persons,
excepting his lecture to men to-morrow
afternoon, and there will be trail-hit
ting for the last time. The Booster
Chorus will occupy the choir loft and
will have a new song to present.
To-morrow morning he will preach on
"The Healing of t'he Hpirit,," in the
afternoon at 2 o'clock to men only on
"The Three Sirens,'' and in the even
ing on " How to Make a Success of the
''liristian Life." This service will close
the campaign. The sermon will be ad-
dressed to all persons who have hit the
trail during the seven weeks, as well as
to other professing Christians. There
will protoaibly fee seats reserved for ail
the trail hitters, in front of the plat
form.
Women's and Children's Meetings
A mass meriting for women and
young women will ; be held alt Ridge Ave
nue 'Methodist church in the afternoon,
'conducted by iMiss Palmer and Miss

ACTUAL HOME RELIEF
WORK IS BEGUN TO-OAY
Headquarters at 7 South Front Street
Gives Out the First Materials to
Persons Wlio Will Be Paid for Their
Labors
First relief work —home relieif, at
that — was done by the Home anil War
Rt lief Association this morning. Nat
urally it was the Home Relief Division
which did it, though 'the Red Coss,
General Supply and Foreign Relief Di
visions were represented.
A plainly-dressed woman who hail
been sitting in one of t.he two second
story rooms of headquarters at 7 South
Front street for a few minutes was the
first recipient of aid. A division chief
pleasantly invited her into the supplies
room, where another division head
passed out sufficient, clothing blanks
(unsown clothing) to provide her with
several days's work. Her place was ta
ken by another worker, who received
like treatment from the headquarters
force, and so the procession continued
all day.
Supplies sufficient for a week's work
for practically all those applicants now
listed are on hand at headquarters. The
articles to be made from these supplies
include eight dozen surgical shirts, 138
gowns, 4 2 woman's petticoats, 4 doz
en children's gowns, 6 dozen children's
shirts and 12 dozen woman's gowns.
The "blanks'' are cut out toy ma
chinery at the Blough Manufacturing
Company. Deft fingers of department
heaiis or committeemen sort them into
individual garment parts, which are
given to workers throughout the city
wlho have been recommended by the
Associated Charities. Only persons so
lecommended can olbtain work. A limit
of $3 a week for each worker has been
set, as the demand for work threatens
to outrun the available funds.
The IHome Relief Division, second
floor, which has charge of giving out
work to women of the city, announced
these hours:
Open 9 to 12, 2to 5. Close at noon
Saturdays. Materials to be given out
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Work to he returned Thursdays, Fridays
and Saturdays.
$192,400 BONDS MATURE
Record Amount Will Be paid Out by
the City for Their Redemption
on January 2
The greatest numiber of city bonds
ever redeemed at one calling will be
taken up beginning with January 2.
when $192,400 will be distributed
among the several hundred holders of
such securities. That amount exceeds
the previous high water mark for bond
redemption by something like $82,000.
The Sinking Fund Commissioners
will on Monday next seud out a call
for $87,200 street paving bonds; $2,-
800 street grading bonds, and $102,-
400 water bonds. The water bonds
are of the twenty-year series which
were floated in 1895, while the others
represent the certificates given to con
tractors at the completion of city pav
ing and grading jobs.
The water bonds will be redeemed
with money which annually was ap
propriated to the sinking funds while
the paving and grading bonds will be
redeemed out of assessments paid into
the treasury by property owners during
the last six months.
These bonds all will mature and
cease bearing interest on January 1,
1915, and there will be no financial
advantage to tli« holders to retain them
in preference to having them cashed.

HOME-GROWN CHRISTMAS
TREES NOW IN MARKETS
Turkeys Sell at 23 Cents, Live, and 35
Cents, Dressed—Plenty of Wreaths
Are Offered For Holiday Season—
Market Baskets Bulge
Turkeys were rather scarce in the
markets this morning but as there was
no great demand for them thus far in
advance of Christmas, very few people
were disappointed. The turkeys that
were on the market sold at 25 cents a
pound live weight, or 35 cents dressed.
The scarcity was explained in differ
ent ways. Some farmers said they were
afraid to kill many of the birds on ac
count of the way bhey sold before
Thanksgiving.
Home-grown Christmas trees could
be bought from five cents, for baJ>y
trees, on up to full grown fathers at
one dollar apiece. Wreaths of all de
scriptions flooded the markets, Belling
as low, in many cases, as five cents
apiece. There was plenty of holly, rat
tails and holy candles sold in siprays at
ten cents a spray.
According to the oyster men, most
of the people of Harrighurg are going
to feast on oysters, either in stews,
frvs or "stuffing" on Christmas, as
they say that the demand for them is
unusuallv heavv.
Bv the looks of the market baskets
this morning no person is going to quit
eating on amount of "hard times."
for practically all were filled to the
top. Cranberries, celery and all the
rest of thii'.'Js that go toward making
Christmas dinners tasty, were con
spicuous.

was taken into the home of (Mr. and

purposed training Rosabelle into a
maid of all work. This they succeeded
in doing, and so many admiraible, traits
of character were developed in Rosa
belle that they became much attached
t-o the girl, and her affection for them
was pronounced. One day when she
was nearly 30 years old she came to
Mrs. Deene to ask a "favali" of some

President Rea Sees
New Era of Prosper

Rate Case
INCREASE NOT
AS WAS DESIRED
Nevertheless Railroad Magnate Predicts
Beginning cf a Broad, Constructive
Policy in Railroad Regulations Im
peratively Required in Biuincss
liy Associated Prcits,
Philadelphia, Dev. 19.-—President.
Samuel Rea of the Pennsylvania Kail
road Company in a statement to-day
said that he regarded the railrca i rate
decision handed down by the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday as the
'beginning of a broad, constructive pol
icy in railroad regulation. The state
merit savs:
"I regard this decision as the be
ginning of a broad, constructive policy
in railroad regulations imperatively re
quired. Jt certainly indicates that the
Commission has been seriously im
pressed by actual railroad and financial
conditions, and we recognize that the
Commission has carefully considered
the entire situation and rendered what
it believes to be a fair and equita'ble
decision. The decision, however, grants
an increase of only about 50 per cent,
of the freight business of our system
and is not so far reaching as the rail
road's believe to be necessary, there
fore the railroads, as the Commission
emphasizes, must continue their efforts
to concerve and augment their reve
nues from the sources the Commission
previously recommended.
"We desire prosperity but it is im
possible for the country to prosper
while railroad revenues and credit are
inadequate and therefore the increased
rates should be generally helpful. Re
lying on the protection of puhlie regu
lation, we will utilize the additional
revenue in continuing our lines and
equipment in goo.l condition to render
the best possible public service and in
sustaining our credit on a sound ba
sis.
"The Federal government Should, in
the same spirit, award the railroaiS the
admittedly just, compensation, so long
withheld, for the carriage of mails and
parcels post; and the citizens should
sec to it, that the Legislatures, Federal
and State, relieve the railroads from
enforced wasteful expenditures. Under
such,a helpful policy public regulation
rests on a solid foundation and confi
dence, and prosperity will bo greaitly
encouraged.''

School Board Passes Superintendent
Downes' Recommendations for
Eight Grades
After five years of effort. City Su
perintendent P. K. Downes last night
succeeded in having the Harrisburg
Hi-hoot Board pass his recommendations
eliminating the ninth grade, making the
course below the high schools, eight
years, four in the primary and four in
the grammar grades.
Mr. Downes' plan is to begin the
new course of study in September,
1915, eliminating the ninth grade after
June, 1915. Promotions will be semi
annual, the mid-year one being in
formal, the first one occurring in Feb
ruary, 1917. The present ninth-grade
teachers will be absorbed in the grades
below and about three years will be re
quired to effect the complete change.
President Harry A. Bover named his
committees last night. There is but
one change from last year. Harry M.

"CAMEL'S HAIR" BRUSHES
The Very Best of Them Are Made
From Squirrels' Tails
It. may sound rather strange, but it
is nevetrheless true that no brushes are
ever made of camel's hair, yet tfhey
are asked for daily and sold "as such.
There are very many kinds of hair
used in the making of "camel's hair"
brushes, such as bear, fox, rabbit, squir
rel, etc., and, indeed, one authority
states that over 150 sorts of brushes
are known as "camel s hair" brushes,
but there is only one definition accepted
by the British Board of Trade—i. e.,
"camel's hair" brushes made from
squirrel tails, these being the 'best and
the most expensive.
Real camel j hair is absolutely use
less for making brushes and resembles
soft tow of a yellow-brownish color.
The mane of a camel is the only |>art
whioh could be used, and possibly a
dozen brushes could be made from one
mane.
As a matter of fact, there are onLv
two specimens of brushes made from
the actual hair of a camel in existence.
The reason for the term "camel's hair"
is the fact that a man named Camel
was the first one to make these finer
kind of brushes, and they became gen
erally known as "real camel's hair
brushes."—London Answers.

issued in booklet form a directory of
the automobile owners in Harrisburg and
vicinity. The directory contains an al
phabetical list of every person in Har

owns an automobile, as well as a di
rectory of the dealers. A review of the
directory discloses that 1,143 people
in this city own machines and that
there are over 2,500 automolbiles and
trucks in this vicinity. As a number
of owners have two or more machines,
it is safe to say that there are over
1,200 in Harrisburg and the list is
growing. The directory will prove of
value to owners and dealers. It may be
secured from Mr. iMvton.
