DEDICATION OF
CAPITOL TODAY
HAIIKISIJU KG,Oct. 3.—Everything
is ready for the formal opening of
tomorrow's festivities attending the
dedication ot' the capitol. Over four
hundred members of various fraternal
organizations have already been ap
pointed to act as guides and form the
walking information bureau for visit
ors tomorrow. Each and every one of
the members of this large committee
has been given a handsome badge fur
nished by the publicity committee and
with it they will wear the emblem of
their organization in order that broth
er lodgemen will recognize them and
feel more at home.
RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTS.
Special orders were issued yesterday
to the local heads of the various rail
road companies in this city to make
arrangements for special trains to car
ry the crowds to and from this city to
morrow morning and night. The ord
ers call for all special trains to leave
their various starting points iu time
to arrive in this city at or before
o'clock tomorrow. Excursions will be
run from all points in rhe State, but
the details have not heeu announced.
The Reading road will start an excur
sion train from Norristown on Thurs
day mornirg at 6:50 o'clock, stopping
at all intermediate points and reaching
this city shortly before 10 o'clock. In
the evening special trains will be run
to all points and will leave this city
at 10 :M o'clock. Tlie Reading road
will run as far as Norristown a train
large enough to accommodate all its
patrons while the Pennsylvania, North
ern Central and Cumberland Valley
roads will run as many special trains
as are needed to get the visitors from
the citv to their homes.
FIREWORKS ALONG RIVER.
While tho fireworks will be the
principal attraction along the river
front tomorrow night, much ol' the
beauty of the scene will be due to the
number of boats on the water, if the
night is clear. Rivermeil have had all
their rowboats engaged for weeks and
a hundred or more canoes are expect
ed to be afloat. In addition, most of
t"lie sand flats will be filled witli chairs
and steam tugs will pull them out in
to the channel shortly before the fire
works start. Persons with a commer
cial turn of mind who are sufficiently
fortunate as to be located iu the vicin
ity of Third and State street are ar
ranging to reap a harvest, if possible
tomorrow. One merchant who has a
store at the corenr of these streets, in
the Brady house, directly opposite the
grandstand, has fixed up three tiers of
seats. The lower tier, just a little
above the level of the sidewalk, has
seats which may be secured for the
ceremonies at $5 each. An other tier
has been built just above; ten dollars
each will be charged for seats there.
Seats on the balcony above will also
be sold at 112 10 each.
CAPITOL LIKE REE-HIVE.
The capitol was like a bee-hive dur
ing the early hours last evening. The
dome was lighted and so were many
of the rooms and visitors passed
through the great building by the
thousand. What it will be tonight and
tomorrow can only be conjectured.
Many of the Hill departments were
open last evening and heads of depart
ments did not attempt to keep visitors
out. The doors were merely blocked
open and the sightseers allowed to
stream in one door and out the other
at will.
The capitol will be open to visitors
touight and tomorrow and the dome
will again be lighted up during the
evenings.
At sundown tonight the lights about
the streets will be turned on, if possi
ble. The searchlights are in place atop
the Union Trust and the Mt. Pleasant
Press buildings and they will begin to
play on the capitol about < :30 o'clock
tonight. The same program will ob
tain tomorrow night.
VISITORS POURING IN.
Visitors are jiouriug iuto the city for
the dedication and this is evidenced
nowhere better than at the capitol.
All day yesterday,as well as last even
ing. the corridors aud departments
were thronged with transient visitors.
The city is in gala dress a id most of
the business buildings are covered
with hunting. The cards of admission
to the speakers' stand on the grand
stand were prepared at the executive
department yesterday. They are works
of art. Each is somewhat smaller than
the average size of the visiting cards
for men. Thev are of heavy white card
board with beveled edges, the bevel
ing being gilded. In the upper left
hand corner of the card the coat-of
arnis of the State is heavily embossed
in gold. Mr. Roosevelt's card bears
simply "The President"; Governor
Pennypaeker's card is prepared in the
same way, only "The Governor" be
ing written on it.
DAYLIGHT FIREWORKS.
The ceremonies and amusements com
mittee of the citizens' committee yes
terday announced that an additional
attraction has been prepared for what
might otherwise have been a dull hour
of dedication day. The fireworks con
sist of a bomb which is projected sky
ward and when about 500 feet in the
air it explodes. A parachute is liberat
ed by the explosion and from this para
chute will depend some sort of a de
corative figure a different kind to
each piece. A clear space of about an
acre iu area is required to properly
display such fireworks audit has been
What It (iained.
Statistics of passenger traflic on the
Reading railroad for the year ending
June bOtli, as compared with the five
previous years when free pusses were
in full swing, shows that the Heading
company has added about #-100,000 per
annum to its passenger earnings by
cutting oil' freo transportation. Other
roads no doubt have made equal gains.
Mazleton Police on the Rack.
The police force, of Hazleton, is be
ing investigated. They are charged
with taking money from prisoners and
then letting them go, and other crooked
things. Friends of the oflieers are try
ing to block the investigation, but it
will goon notwithstanding the veto
of the mayor. Startling revelations are
promised.

San S.iiv.: lor is built on a volcano.
It has been three times destroyed by
au earthquake, but the people are be
coming accustomed to such excitement
now. Earthquakes are pretty frequent,
and, while one is naturally nervous,
there is really little danger to life.
The shocks have been known to com®
as frequently as eighty times Iu an
hour.
The effects are quite peculiar. In the
city is a brick column, nine feet high
and three feet square, which was re
moved a hundred feet without losing
Its perpendicular or cracking the ninr
tnr.
The ground under the city is full of
caverns of unknown depth. A man
was digging a well there. The last
stroke he gave with his pick the bot
tom fell out. and he and his pick and
all fell through, nobody knows where.
There Is a volcano not far from San
Salvador that some years ago dis
charged lava over a forest. The wood
all caught fire, of course, but the lava,
being light and easily cooled, formed
and hardened into long arcades through
which It was possible to walk. E%'en
now the imprint of the trunks and
branches of the trees can be seen.

OBESITY A DISEASE.
I% IN Not. n* a llule, (li«* Iteniilt of
liUiiiMMiN or Gluttony.
It is a mistake and an injustice to
many abstemious folk to assume that
all fat persons are gluttons or large
eaters. Very many excessively corpu
lent people, especially women, are
small eaters, while some of the most
doughty trenchermen are gaunt and
thin.
It is not the quantity so much as the
quality of the food one eats which de
termines the putting on of flesh. Yet
It is not always the Kind of food that
makes the obese, for some stout people
*at very pari ugly of sugars and
starches, while there are large con
sumers of sweets who never put on
flesh. In such cases It is a question
of constitution, often of heredity and
not at all, or very little, one of diet.
Another prevalent error In regard to
fat people is that they are inert or lazy
and never exercise. Of course exercise
does increase the processes of nutri
tion and so leads to the burning up of
superfluous fat, but at tin- same timo
It causes an increase in the appetite
and thus tempts to the consumption
of a greater quantity of food. So one
tiling balances the other, and want of
exercise alone is not a very potent
cause of obesity. Many very fat per
sons are, it Is true, sluggish, but they
have become so since putting on their
flesh, for it makes a great difference
whether one carries 1.10 pounds about
when one walks or whether it Is neces
sary to propel half as much again or
even double the weight. It Is a tre
mendous handicap, and there is small
wonder that tin* lightweights do the
most exercising.
Obesity, indeed, is usually a disease
and not merely the result of laziness or
gluttony. Its cause lies deep down In
the animal economy, in among thotfo
mysterious chemical changes by which
the food we take into the mouth Is
converted into blood and bones and
muscles, skin, hair and brain cells. It
can often be warded off by a proper
diet and mode of living, especially If
taken in hand from the very first and
not allowed to get the upper hand, but
the tendency to stoutness will gener
ally persist through life and can only
be modified, but never removed.
Any treatment for the radical re
moval of flesh should be carried out uu
der the advice of a physician, as vio
lent measures directed to this end may
be productive of terrible harm to the
constitution. Youth's Companion.

The clean; :t to a in the world ii
said to be Itro ' 1 Iloiland. It is onij
a few mil's i'; die caidtal, and has
been famous for its cleanliness fron:
time inuneiiiorial. It is tilso notable ot
account of the fanciful style of its
houses and yards and gardens and
streets.
The people, though only peasants, ar<
al! well to do, and all feel a pride in
their town. It seems to be the first
business of their lives to keep tlieit
houses freshly [tainted, their gardens ir
perfect order and their yards ami
streets as clean as a new pin. No carts
are allow ed in t!:e streets, and no cattle
Though the raising of stock and the
making of butter and cheese are theii
occupations, a stranger would nevei
Imagine that there were any cattle is
the region, unless he went to the beau
tiful green meadow s at the back of the
houses or the stables out there, whew
cows are kept in stalls scrubbed am:
washed like a kitchen.
The streets are too fine and neat foi
the feet of the animals to step on. Al
are paved with polished stone, inter
ndP',led with bricks of different colors
and kept so serif ll uisly clean that a
lady could walk anywhere in white
satin slippers.—Pearson's Weely.
llradly Snakes.
The deadliest of snakes is said to b#
the inninba, an African cobra. It flies
at everybody and everything; It goes
out of its way to quarrel; It will ever
come down from a tree tQ solicit ar
interview. Over in India there Is tht
great king cobra, or hamadryad, a si/.f
larger, quit.- as fierce—lt has beer
known to chase a man on horseback
he had to ride for his life-but his
poison is a degree less virulent. Tht
difference, however, may be considered
negligible and ceases to interest th»
patient after a few minutes. Among
the Australian cobras, the pit vipers
of America and the great west Afrlcai
vipers there are species with evil repu
tatious, and the most alarming featurt
Is that the aggressive snakes are al
desperately poisonous.
