B. & O. PICNIG. Arrangements are being made for | the thir y-second arnual retnion of the B. & O. railroad employes, known throughout the system as the ‘‘Jennie Smith’ picnic, which will be held at the picturesque Is- land Park, Harper's Ferry, on July 31. The entertainment committee, composed of C. G. Spurrier, chair- man; J. W. Gardner, assistant chale- man, and 65 associates have outlined a program which will include several novel features and it is expected that the 1913 gathering will surpass all previous ones in interest and enjoyment. The eustomary accom- modations will be provided by the railroad company to enable the em- ployes and their families and friends ‘to reach the Island. As on former occasions, Miss Jen- nie Smith, railroad evangelist, who originated the reunion idea just thirty-two years ago and who has loyally -attended every one of them, will be the central figure of the day. She will give one of inter- esting talks to her ‘boys’ who have named the picnic in her honor. Miss Jennie, as she is affectionalely termed 'by the railroad men, has de- voted a life-time to work amongst them.’ ? ¢ Others whe will address the rail- roaders be Rev. B. I. McGowan, pastor of the Bennett Memerial church. Baltimore and Secretary T. E. Stacy of the Riverside Branch of the Young Men’s Christian Associ- ation. The celebrated Bailey Quar- tet, consisting of Eev. E. E. Bailey and three brothers will render sev- selections and Zimmerman’s Concert will furnish the musical program. Special trains will be operated by the Baltimore and Ohio from all parts of the System within a day’s tide of Harper's Ferry to bring the railroad men, their families and Extra accommodations trains for employes from Cakland, Mountain Lake Park, Deer Park and points beyond. Generally these annual festivities attracts from five to six thousand to Many of the em- plgyes. now on the retired list and others who have been in the service will be present who attended the first reunion in 1881. Nothing will keep the old ' fellows away, they say, but ‘the sudden summons of the 4s0all Boy’’ to goout on their last run. rte e——— GENUINE ECZEMA REMEDY. NEW REMEDY THAT HEALS ECZEMA QUICKLY. S.

Washington, July 14.—Few new Congressmen ever had so large a net result to their credit, to show for their efforts in behalf of their consti- tuents, as can be claimed by William Kettner of San Diego, Cal. But just at this time Congressman Kettner is not rejoicing over the consummation of any plans of his own; he is brag- ging about the people of his home town—beg pardon, City—which voted, only a few days ago, by the over- whelming odds of sixteen to one and better, to issue $850,000 in municipal bonds to carry on the plans of the San Diego Exposition. “I knew they’d po it,’ exclaimed Congress- man Kettner; ‘‘those people are not welchers. They make. good. It’s one thing to vote bonds for schools, hospitals, sewers or water works, but ‘when people go down into their own pockets to pay for an exposition, to make good their promises to the world, ‘it’s going some,’ and espe- cially when they have already voted one bond issue of $1,000,000, and sub- scribed another million.” RUSH TO GET SPACE. It is disclosing no confidences to say that San Diego never expected that its Panama Exposition would at- tain its present proportions. But it has now become strictly international, fifteen foreign governments having signified their desire to secure space to date. Beside this there will be in- dividual state exhibits, eleven states having accepted the invitation to par- ticipate. In some cases where states did not vote, dppropriations for this purpose, citizens’ movements have been organized to secure exhibits which will do credit to such states. With the demands being made for space the various buildings were found to be toc small, as at first ‘planned, and they had to ke enlarged, some of them more than once. Then the cost was found to ke exceeding the fund available. But President D. C. Collier felt that it would not do to refuse the applications and the man- agement agreed with him. It was found that $850,000 would meet the increased cost of enlarging the exhi- bit buildings, and when the question of issuing bonds to raise the sum was put to the people, they showed, as stated, by a vote of sixteen to one, what they thought of it. Can anyone doubt, with such a splendid spirit, that San Diego will make of its ex- position an unqualified success? eee ees For Good Roads. Harrisburg, Pa., July 14.—Approval of the general appropriation bill with its items for construction and main- tenance of State roads, which is ex-| pected from the Governor’s hands the | latter part of this week, will be fol- | lowed by considerable aetivity on the | part of the State Highway Depart- | ment in various sections of the State. Estimates have been prepared by engineers of the Departmeht on a dozen or more pieces of State high- way and on as many other roacs on which State-aid has been. asked by the counties. The plen is to receive bids for this work during the summer and let the contracts so that opera- tions may begin early in the fall. The Highway Department will also undertake considerable repair work with its own men, and take steps to perfect its maintenance “system throughout the State. Failure of the Legislature to pass the general appro- priation bill until the closing night of the session has held up all funds since June 1st, ard consequently no new work could be undertaken, although numerous requests have'been received for the rebuilding of roads, expecially those of the State-aid variety. Under the terms of the general ap- propriation bill, funds are provided for reconstruction of main State high- ways, State-aid road building, main- tenance and repair work on main and State-aid roads, all to be taken out of the general State revenues. The un- satisfactory nature of this method of financing the great road building pro- gram is well illustrated in the fact that the Legislature has appropriated $89,000,000 out of these revenues, whereas the revenues themselves will amount to only $62,000,000 for the two years covered by these appro- priations. Asa result, the Governor must cut $27,000,000 out of the appro- priations, and the road appropriations may have to be reduced along with those for various other public works and charities. 1f the people iu November will rati- fy the $50,000,000 bond issue, ample funds will be provided for carrying on the reconstruction of the high- INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E.
