LITTLE BLOOD SHED IN THE DESERT
That the retreating Turks in the vicinity of the
Suez canal were not interfered with by the British
forces may have seemed rather strange. An ex
planation, however, comes from Cairo by way of
London that it was because the British learned
through scouts that the Turks wanted to be pur
sued.
After the original attack by the Turks in the
Suez Canal district, which is said to have been
"cleverly planned and brilliantly executed,'' and
then the stubborn tight on February 3, the main
body of the invaders retired. It seems that these
retreating forces at once established themselves iff
favorable defensive positions when they were out
of range of the warship guns, in preparation for an
expected British attack.
It might have been the more glorious thing for
the British to do, to have rushed in pursuit of the
enemy, but it would surely have been the more
unwise. The forces defending the canal would have
met with great losses had they assumed the offensive
and gone out against the fortitied Turks, and
would hardly have accomplished much at any rate.
Lack of supplies was what finally forced the
Turks to drop back into the desert through which
they had made their advance on the canal. While
they were awaiting an attack from the British,
which was not forthcoming, their provisions, espec
ially fresli water, must have been decreasing rap
idly. The British argued soundly that even an
attack by their forces would not have increased to
a great extent the losses which the Turkish troops
must suffer through hunger and thirst while re
tracing their steps across the desert.
In the region of this most recent attempted in
vasion of Egypt troops have in former, wars suf
fered much from heat and thirst. In Napoleon's
time the isthmus could be traversed by land, but the
difficulties in this war are even greater, since a
well-defended waterway must now be crossed. The
more trouble there is for the Turks at the canal,
howVver, the less there is for the British, and the
likelihood is that for the present there will not be
much blood shed on Egypt's account.
INDIANS' WORK AS DES<
Things are progressing at the Carlisle Indian
School, as we learn from the "Carlisle Arrow,"
described as "a weekly newspaper printed by
Indians," and vary neatly printed, too. Every de
partment of the paper has a special reporter and
these energetic newsgatherers seldom miss anything
of human interest that serves to make the paper
readable.
We learn that the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.
of the school had a party on April 1, at which there
were vocal and instrumental music and many games,
chief of which was a peanut hunting contest in
which Stephen St. Clair was the winner. N Rcd Fox
James entertained in the auditorium and sang
"Only a Rosebud," and recited a poem of his own
composition.
" Charles White Wolf, a member of the band, vis
ited friends in Middlesex. Ovila Azure has com
pleted the compilation of the band constitution,
which has been put in pamphlet form by James Holy
Eagle, at the print shop. Mrs. Charles A. Bender,
of Philadelphia, wife of the famous baseball pitcher,
has been visiting the school and took home with her
Miss Bender, a sister of the "Chief." In the black
smith shop Ben Bearchild put in most of his time
corking horseshoes. William Mountain has beeu
absent from the carpenter shop owing to illness.

ies, Robert Geronimo has left the print shop. His
grandfather, the famous Apache chief, who was the
cause of much perturbation among the United States
troops years ago, would rejoice to hear of this.
In the Domestic Art Department, Mary Lone
Chief is progressing" rapidly in lace bobbin making.
The Laundry Department reports that Louisa
Striker is now detailed to work in the girls' quar-.
ters. In the hospital the nurses are preparing for
the final examinations early in May. At the Chapel
exercises, Francis Kettle sang "Flag of Our Na
tion" in fine style. School Room No. 5 reports that
Christopher Thunder Hawk has been promoted to
Room No. 6.
The "Carlisle Arrow" is full of interesting news,
and you can get it for twenty-five cents a year.
It was a wise move that was made by the authori
ties of a girls' college in England when the request
of some of the students that smoking ip the college
environs be permitted was referred to the parents
of the young women. No matter whether the par
ents decide to permit smoking or to prohibit it,
they are the ones to decide the matter. The minor
ity among them, whether pro-nicotine or anti-nico
tiue, can transfer their daughters to institutions
whose regulations are suited to their tastes.
The girls smoke more or less at all the Loudon
colleges, according to accounts, sometimes with the
proper permission and sometimes without. There
is no means of knowing just what the conditions
are with respect to feminine use of tobacco iu col
legiate circles iu London but it seems that prohi
bition by school authorities against use of the weed
by girl students would not go very far toward
ridding the smokers of the habit.
If gay English school girls are constituted at
all like most human beings they will take more
pleasure in doing Something that is forbidden by
the college rules than something permitted, and
they will be more likely to make si practice of it,
too.
Proprietors of restaurants in New York City have
declared that since, in some places, women have
beeu allowed to use cigarettes at the tables,
there have been decidedly fewer of the fair sex
inclined to smoke than there were when the prac
tice was prohibited.
If the English school girls were to be permitted I
to smoke through college corridors and grounds 1
they could hardly have as much fun as by gath-!
ering in secluded places and "sneaking" smokes.
"My Nicotine Ladv," —to reverse the subject of|
Barrie's dissertation on tobacco, —if she were given
full permission to puff away at all times and places,
would perhaps lose what little delight she may have
found in trying to acquire one of man's pet habits.
All that is unfair is fair in war.
Just to keep in vogue Santo Domingo is going to have
another war.
International law is about as elastic as the consciences ;
of the various monarehs of the nations engaged in war.
The way they have jailed the crooks in Terre Ha,ute!
makes it hard to figure out who is left to govern the city.
It will hardly be necessary for Colonel Hutchison to take
extra precautions to prevent the visiting police chiefs from
breaking into jail.
President Wilson is not going to the 'Frisco exhibition.
Perhaps he thinks it would be infringing on Bryan's rights
in the show business.
If only the warring nations were able to drive all the
warships of their rivals into Amarican waters it might
hasten the end of the conflict.

Tjocal Option Fight in Seventies
James A. Stranahan, former Deputy
Attorney General of Pennsylvania, for
mer member of the Legislature from
iMercer county, now practicing at the
Dauphin county bar, was a conspicuous
figure in Hie memorable legislative ses
sion of 1574 when Ideal option was au
issue, as now. The occasion was the
bitter light on the bill to repeal the
then existing local option law —which
afterward, in another year, was strick
en from the statute books. Goneral
Stranahan one day was being .lied
upon to m \ke a speech opposing tho re
pealer, said a former lawmaker this
morning while giving reminiscences «f
the days when the light for aud against
liquor probably was as earnest as it is
to-day.
• • "
Stranahan Then a Bridegroom
Stranahan then was but a young
man, in fact lie had married that year,
but he was recognized as the floor lead
er of the "dry" forces and probably
was the most vigorous exponent local
option then had in tho State. The Gen
eral 's young bride displayed just as
much interest in the fight as did he him
self and with other Pennsylvania women
she joined in the campaign throughout
the State. There were then but 100
members in the House of Representa?
tives and half as" many in the Senate
as against 207 members in the House
and fifty Senators to-day.
t* * *
Women PTayed in Bar Booms
The fight was a bitter one and while
the lawmakers were debating the ques
tion the women leaders of local option
swarmed into Harriaburg and stormed
the hotels. Divisions were formed and,
when the strike was made, the women
in orderly tile, marched into the bar
rooms, got down on their knees aud
held prayer services. That was not un
common. Neither was it uncommon to
see barkeeps wither under the strain
and join those women in the fighting
campaign.
* ♦ *
f 'stranatan Makes Speech
When a rousing cry went up in the
House one day for Stranahan, tho
friends about him rushed toward him
like a pack of hounds and they refused
to desist until th* General consented to
make the speech. When Stranahan left
his seat there was a great demonstra
tion. He discussed the issues as he
viewed them and he closed with a re
mark something like this:
"Don't you daro to pass that re
pealer! Kill it, I say, kill it!"
And it was killed in that session. In
later years, however, the repealer was
passed.
♦ * *
Easily Elected in Mercer
That year was General Stranahan's
first appearance in the Pennsylvania
Legislature. He had been elected over
■Mercer county's Republican Represent
ative by a splendid majority. The 'Mer
eer county Democrats selected General
Stranahan as their nominee for Rep
resentaive when he was on a business
trip through the West. On his return
home he agreed to get into the political
fight and thereupon announced his op
position to the liquor interests. That
was the basis of his platform.
* * *
General's Fight in 1880
In 1889 it was that General Strana
'ban made another successful and sen
sational fight against liquor,—that is
in his home county and a few other
counties in the part of
the State. The General and Congress
man Samuel H. Miller stumped Mercer
county just before the vote was taken
on the question of ainendmont to the
constitution so as to wipe out liquor in
Pennsylvania. Although the issue was
overwhelmingly defeated, iMercer coun
ty gave a majority in its favor larger
than that of any other Pennsylvania
county w'hich favored a'' dry'' State.
U. 8., Not U. S. A.
Do j'ou jnow what is the proper
abbreviation of the United States? It
is U. S. It is not U. S. A. There is
widespread and apparently utter ig
norance of this fact. The initials U. S.
A. are the officially acceptod abbrevia
tion for United' States army and do not
under any possible conditions ever
mean United States of America. At
this time, when so mauy manufactur
ers in this country are branding tbeir
goods as made in the United States,
this is important. The brand of U. S.
A. upon anything means that it was
manufactured for the United States
army. "Made in U. S." is the brand
which should be put upon all goods
manufactured in this country.—Albany

TRANSFORMS UCLY SCHOOL
PLOT INTO FLOWER GARDEN
Civic Club Is Accomplishing Wonders
at "the Grounds Surrounding the
Susquehanna Building Where the
Fresh Air Pupils Ax* Taught
The following announcement of the
work of 'beautifying the grounds about
the Susquehanna school building was
given out in behalf of the Civic Ciub to
day:
"Those who recall the abearance of
the grounds surrounding the Susque
hanna school building, Fifth and Seneca
streets, will remember that not a spear
of grass was growing there; that the
ground was made of ashes; that it was
ungraded, being hilly and lumpy, and
was altogether uninviting. The children
of the fresh air school attend the build
ing, and the School Board has been
to much expense for the equipment of
the school so tliat it felt that any fur
ther outlay on the grounds was not
warranted at present.
"Some years ago the Board gave the
Knlucational Department of the Civic
Club permission to plant shrubs or
trees in the school grounds, and to add
to the general attractiveness of the
premises in this manner. Some advan
tage has been taken of this permission,
though not to the extent that the de
partment wished, owing to lack of
funds.
"The Susquehanna building has
made an especial appeal to it, and while
the outlay needed for putting the
grounds into proper shape seemed
enormous, the educational department,
with Mrs. H. Lindley Hosford as chair
man, was fortunate enough to secure
the hearty co-opt ation of Mr. Lynch,
head of street and pu'blic improvements,
and Mr. TavJor, head of Parks and
Public Property. The school grounds be
ing city property could, of course, le
gitimately receive their assistance.
Through the kindness and aid of the
two commissioners the grounds have
been graded and now a beautiful '.iedge
is being planted around the entire
grounds, 100 by 120 feet, and shrubs
and flowers and vinei also will be add
ed. The children have asked for a
(lower garden and a vegetable garden
and are most enthusiastic over every
m,ad"ful of dirt that is turned.
"The department is hoping to have
some brief appropriate exercises when
the grounds are in readiness and Mr.
Taylor, Mr. Lynch and City Forester
Mueller, as well as various school offi
cials will be invited to attend. The
Civic Clu'b feels that this work is one
of the most important that it has ever
undertaken, and i' would have been im
possible for the women to have accom
plished their aims without the generous
support of the two Commissioners."
10,794 BOOKSJHIT |\ MAIU'H
Many More Volumes Circulated Than
Year Before at Public Library
Reports made to the board of trus
tees of the Harriaburg Public Library
last night indicated that the- circula
tion of books during the month of
March was 610 larger than in the
month of March last year which was
one of the heavy months. The number
of books taken out by residents of Hur
risburg and vicinity last month was
10,794. When it is considered that
the total number of books in the Li
brary is about 14,300 this indicates
a big rush of business for the city's
institution. There are robre books on
the shelves of the Library than ever
before, the number added last month
being larger than usual in response to
demands for Action.
One-third of the books taken out
during the month were for school chil
dren, running up to 350 on some days.
Tn the books taken out were works in
English, French, Hungarian and
Rumanian. The latter collection is
being put on the shelves, the money
having been provided by the Civic Club
and bv a friend of the Library.
In March there was 3,571 readers
at the Library, of whom over thirty
two per cent, were children.
The Prussian Versailles
Potsdam is tlie Prussian Versailles
and contains four palaces. It was

he was alive. Among the most inter
esting treasures is a copy of Freder

If Little Stomach Is
Sour, Liver Torpid or
Bowels Clogged
Mothers can rest easy after giving
"California Syrup of Figs," becauso in
a few hours all the clogged-up waste,
sour bile and fermenting food gently
moves out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again. Children
simply will not take the time from play
to empty their bowels, and they be
come tightly packed, liver gets sluggish
and stomach disordered.
When cross, feverish, restless, see if
tongue is coated, then give this de
licious "fruit laxative." Children love
it, and it cannot cause injury. No dif
ference what ails your little one —if full
of cold, or a sore throat, diarrhoea,
stomach-ache, bad breath, remember, a
gentle 'inside cleansing" shuuld always
be the first treatment given. Full di
rections for babies, children of all ages
and grownups are printed on each
bottle.

EMY POCKETS MADE TO
YIELD CASH AT MAJESTIC
Company of Conjurors, Who Give
Closing Performance At Theatre
To-night—Have Program of Baf
fling Illusions
On the stage and ofl' the Le
ro.v, Talma and Bosco, conjurors, who
appeared at the Majetttic yesterday aud
will give their doting performance
this evening, present baffling illusions
which are as entertaining as mystify
ing. The principal illusions of courso
take place on the stage, but the tricks
performed by the trio in the audience
while the house is fully lighted are
especially interesting because there is
something personal about them.
When a quiet spectator of a won
derful exhibition of stage magic is
during the performance approached,
by one of the magicians and relieved
of money, playing wards or rabbits
produced by the coujuror from a pre
viously empty pocket, he begins to
wonder whether there is not after all
something supernatural about sleight
of-hand operations.
On the stage, during the illusions
presented there, there are no dim
lights or close connections with cur
tains aud trap doors. The tricks are
performed in full view of the audi
ence—or at least in what the audience
considers to be a full view—arid the
various appearances and disappear
ances of persons, animals and other
thinus, are beyond understanding.
"The Ghostly Visit," and the
"Hindoo Robe Trick" tire the most
mystifying of the many illusions. They
cannot be described, for only what is
apparent to the spectators could be
told, and that would not be believed
possible by any but the spectators
themselves.
