lowed by special music by the choir.
The Rev. R. A. Warnishuish, of the
Port Royal Presbyterian church, of
fered a prayer for the new pastor, the
congregation and the church. The
Rev. John C. Ely, Sr., father of the
pastor, located at Lakland, Md., deliv
ered the sermon.
The Rev. Mr. Hyde then performed
the installation services and the pastor
responded, while the congregation in
dicated their assent by the uplifted
hand. The Rev. R. M. Ramsey, of New
port Presbyterian church, gave the
charge to the pastor. He directed the
pastor to be a preacher of the Gospel
truth and not just a preacher of the
Lord.
The church was crowded and all the
local ministers were present. After
tho services an impromptu reception
was held for the minister and his wife
and visiting clergymen.
Smokeless Breakfast Bacon
Try i-ooking your breakfast bacon
on a pie tin in the oven. This docs
away with all smoke and burn grease
smell in the kitchen, and the bacon is
uniformly crisp.' It may be cooked two v
layers deep if you will turn it once
while cooking. One layer needs no turn
ing. The fat from this is white and
can ihe used for all baking. With half
the amount of butter it is good eVen
for cakes.—Washington iHerald.
Hunger and Thirst
While many men of science have
contended that the sensation of hunger
has its seat in the stomach and that
of thirst in the throat, the Italian
Valenti holds the view that the seat of
both sensations is situated in the gullet.
He found that a cocaine injection in
the esophagus (the channel from the
mouth to the stomach) resulted in im
mediate suppression of the sensations of
both hunger and thirst.
Savages have long known that the
chewing of coca leaves renders the
gullet insensitive and destroys any de
sire for food or drink.—New York
Tribune.

Salaries of Three Officials Increased—
Veto Ax Falls on Seven Proposed
Acts Including One Fathered by
Senator Orow
Governor Brumbaugh last night an
nounced that he had approved ten Sen

Of the Senate bills approved one in
oreases the number of deputy factory

Department of Labor and Industry, as
recommended by the Economy and
Efficiency Commission. It also creates
29 other places in the department and
increases salaries of three officials of
the department.
The additional places created are as

Amending School Code to provide

Seven Bills Vetoed
The seven bills vetofed by the Gov
ernor were as follows:
Buckman Senate bill, regulating
catching of bullfrogs and tadpoles, of
which the Governor says it contains a
provision relative to terrapin which is
not mentioned in the title, and that it
is of "constitutional uncertainty."
Croft Senate bill, regulating assess
ment of lands where divided by town
ship lines, which, the Governor says,
"would cause much confusion and se
cure but little benefit," and that it has
a defective title.
Kline Senate bill, increasihg salary
of first assistant Clerk of Orphans'
Court of Allegheny county, on which
the Governor objects to the classifica
tion of the county, which is an a basis
of population, saying:
"This county classification is of
doubtful constitutionality, and, while
it is claimed the increase is paid from
fees, it is paid finally by the taxpay
ers. The only question aside from the
validity of the bill is the compensa
tion properly a'ttached to the service
rendered. It does not seem to me f.ru
dent at this time to increase salaries,
where no real hardship follows."
Crow Measure Gets the Ax
Crow Senate bill, increasing author
ity of literary, scientific, educational,
religious, charitable, benevolent or
beneficial socieits to hold property, the
Governor saying:
"This bill increases the holding of
real and personal property from an an
nual income of $30,000 to $300,000.
The propriety of such a large increase
in the possible tax-exempted proper
ties of the Commonwealth is question
able. It is not clear to what extent
unincorporated bodies having the most
attenuated interests in common could
secure such a commanding exemption
from the Commonwealth, nor does it
seem wise to me that any trustee re
siding in any county of this Common
wealth removed from the centre of ac
tivities by such a body could apply to
the Court for a ch&rter of incorpor
ation. The bill is not drawn in such
form as to make clear and definite the
purposes for which it is intended."
Roney House bill, regulating sal
aries of clerks in office of Recorder of
Deeds in Philadelphia. The Governor
says: "The existing act provides that
Councils in first-class cities shall fix
salaries paid out of the city treasury,
and that they should be allowed to do
it."

TRAIN OVER MILE LONfi
Wonderful Traveling Home of Barnum and
Bailey Circus.
/
When the Barnum and Bailey Great
est Show on Earth is packed away for
the night and speeding over the rails
to it* next point of exhibition, it lives
on a rolling home over a mile in length.
This'wonderful train is divided in five
sections. It is a congress of nations on
wheels, a Noah's Ark of animals and a
world's fair of a thousand charms.
When the show lips spread out for a
day's business it covers fourteen acres
of ground. Over it waves a sta of can
vas, spotted with ten thousand flags
and banners. No other show can com
pare with it in sire, wealth or variety.
The spirit of P. T. Barnum, the great
est showman who ever lived, still ani
mates its faultless policy. The wonder
ful system of James A. Bailey, that has
made the handling of the gigantic
proposition possible, is still in evidence,
urging it on from year to year to bet
ter and grander achievements.
Yes, there will be a parade—the best
parade America has ever seen. This cir
cus has spent many of its fifty-five
years in touring Asia and Europe." This
has kept it in constant touch with the
lands from whence come all wonders.
Material for this year's street spectacle
were gathered in this way. Agents
have searched savage lands, artists and
designers have worked for months in
the foreign workshops of the show, ex
perts have ransacked the art galleries
of France and Italy, and the looirs of
China and Japan have been busv since
early last fall making the silks and
satins to clothe the people of the pa
geant. It has taken two years to turn
public printing to be done within the
State, of which the Governor says:
"There is no sufficient reason for
such territorial limits. Many other pub
lic services might with equal propriety
be so limited. Moreover, it is in con
travention of Section 12 of Article HI
of the Constitution, and in violation
of the act of July 26, 1897, as de
fined bv the Courts in Commonwealth
vs. Casey, 231 Pa. 170."
Ounn House bill, requiring second
ond class to establish a municipal pen
sion funds. The Governor says of this:
"This bill requires cities of the sec
ond class to establish a municipal pen
sion fund. The bill entered the Legis
lature as a bill applying to cities of the
first class, and emerged as applying to
cities of the second class. Section 1
of Article 111 of the Constitution ex
pressly prohibits this. It is a grave
question whether the Commonwealth
should mandate any municipal unit as
to the method of expending its own
money. The Councils of a city, repre
senting the taxpayers, are the best
qualified to pass upon such matters."
GOVERNOR CALLS ON CITIZENS
TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES
Acting on the suggestion of the
House of Representatives and the
Wild Life Association of Pennsylva
nia that he should issue a proclamation
calling attention to the forest fires pre
valent throughout the State and re
questing all citizens in the vicinity
of the flames to assist in fighting them,
Governor Brumbaugh yesterday issued
the following:
"Whereas, It has been reported to
me that great fires are sweeping over
vast areas of the mountain lands of
this State, destroying growing for

The show carries its own dynamo

various shops and for 5,000 incandes

of spotlights. There is also a circus
postoffice, where mail is received daily
from every country in the world. The
circus grounds are a city in themselves,

which must toe met with immediate
and energetic effort;
"And whereas the House of Rep
resentatives on April 2'2, 1915, has by
resolution called specific attention to
the importance of prompt action in
suppressing forest fires;
"Now, therefore, I, Martin G.
Brumbaugh, Governor of said Com
monwealth. do earnestly urge that he
roic action be taken by the officers of
the State charged with the specific
duty of locating and combating forest
fires, and especially by the game pro
tectors and the fish wardens, who are
made ex-officio fire wardens by the
provisions of an act approved by me
on April 21, 1915.
"I would also call upon all public
spirited citizens of the Commonwealth
to co-operate with such officers and
Tender all possible assistance to them
in the carrying out of vigorous and
effective measures to the end that the
conflagrations may speedily be ex
tinguished."

EXCITEMENT CAUSED DEATH
Anna Livingstone Expired After Being
Taken Away From Birthplace
Gettysburg, April 24.—The excite
ment and exhaustion incident to the re
moval of Miss Anna Livingstone, 68
years old, from the old homestead, be
low East Berlin, to the new home of
her nephew, Irvin Hull, on the Charles
Altland farm, is believed to have
caused her death, which occurred Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock.
Miss Livingstone had been living
at the home from which she had been
removed since childhood. Owing to
her sickness when her nephew and
family moved she remained with El
mer Bentzel, who tenanted the farm
after the removal of the Hull family.

at the Chambersburg hospital where an

recently for appendicitis. The illness
from which the young man's appendix
trouble originated began about a year
ago. When gathering water cresg
which he was accustomed to sell among
friends and put the entire proceeds
into his bank "Christmas Fund" he
went into the water in a perspiring
condition. This shock permeated his
system and he never regained his' full

Sell Farm Willed to* Home
Carlisle, April 24.—At a public sale
held Thursday by authority of the
court, Caleb S. Brinton and J. Harvey
Line, trustees, sold the farm n Upper
Frankford township, formerly owned
by John M. Burkhart, to John H.
Throne, tenant on the farm for $22.60
per acre. The farm contains 204 acres
and 60 perches and was willed by the
former owner to the Tressler Orphans'
Home at Loysville.
Recently, on the claim that a great
er revenue could be given the school
if the place were sold and the money
invested, the court was appealed to for
an order of sale. The proceeds will 'be
used to supplement the income of the
Perry county institution.

When Chest Thumping Began
For fifteen years Dr, Jean Nicolas de
Corvisart practiced chest tapping in
diagnosing disease, getting little but
abuse from'his fellow practitioners.
Along came Napoleon and made Dr.
Corvisart his physician. Dr. Oorvisart
somewhat surprised Napoleon when he
thumped his chest by way of examina
tion. Napoleon, with his characteristic
shrewdness, recognized the advantage
of a scientific test over guesswork and
engaged Corvisart to be his regular ad
viser. .The method of chest tapping
now came into immediate vogue.—Kan
