GOVERNOR OBTAINS FACTS

IMg DeOISd PBDllC Improvement Ul OS
Accomplished at Last
Harrlsburg. Pa.. Feb. 18. The Fox
bill for the extension of Capitol park
baa been favorably reported by unani
mous vote of the senate committee on
public grounds and buildings. The bill
Is certain to pass the aenate, and prob
ably without a dissenting vote. While,
there may be some opposition in the
bouse this bas not yet asserted itself
in any way and there la every reason
to believe that a handsome majority
awaits the bill there. Governor Stuart
la expected to sign It in view of the
overwhelming sentiment in the legisla
ture and throughout tbe state in favor
of this ,much needed Improvement.
The 'desirability of extending the
Capitol park, so aa to give the mag
nificent new state house an adequate
setting, baa never been questioned.
The only objections raised in the past
have been based on the uncertainty of
tbe coat of the project and the difficul
ty of finding revenue to meet It be
cause of tbe extraordinary demands on
recent legislatures for providing mod
ern and ample asylums for the Insane,
Increasing tbe public school approprla-
TANNERS ALLEY FROM SOUTH
tloa. establishing tuberculosis sau.
torla and promoting good roads. In
view of the liberality of tbe legisla
tures of 1906 and 1907 toward these ob
jects, tbe present body finds Itself less
restricted in tbe matter of expendi
tures for permanent public Improve
nanta. and the plan of the Fox bill
for expanding not more than $400,000
a year during a period of live years, for
tbe purchase and improvement of tbe
park extension, makes tht way easy
from the standpoint of tbe stale
finances. As tbe atate spenda f2S..
000,000 a year on its departments and
Its charities. $100,000 Is a mere dro
In tbe bucket, and as the purchaser
are to be made by a commission, all
questions of the possibility of wasteful
extravagance have been eliminated,
Nor la there any longer a question
aa to Just what the park extension will
Boat The laat legislature authorised
tba governor to appoint a commission
to appraise tba property and report to
tbe board of public grounds and bulld
lnga for the Information of tha pres
ent aenate and bouse. This commls
slon. composed of three real estate ex
perts, baa presented a detailed report.
Including a complete description, with
the assessed ana market values of ev
ery property In the district, and Gov
ernor Stuart baa transmitted this re
port to tbe legislature. It shows that
tbe-aasesaed value of tbe proptrty la
1941. fig and the market value $l.$0l,
4(0. The Fox bill provides for a total
expenditure of $2.0110,000, the differ
ence of $198 550 being considered am
ple to cover all coat of purchasing and
condemning the property.
The Inadequacy of the present Capi
tol park Is apparent to everyone. The
new capltoi la as long as the park Is
wide, nearly 520 feet, and In addition
to tbe capltoi building proper the state
museum, 230 by 125 feet in dimensions,
and the conservatory, 200 by 60 feet,
occupy large portion of the length
wise dimensions of tbe park, which la
only 1500 feet. Thus the park Is badly
crowded already. The great weat front
of the capltoi looka out upon a apace
scarcely wider tban tbe building It
self, while on tbe east side trolley cars
run within fifteen feet of the granite
walla, and on the opposite aide of a
narrow street are some ancient dwell
ings, a crowded market bousa, atahla

"I am very much Impreased with

For the scheme of park extension from
the capltoi I have only commendation.
It la badly needed. I have thought so
frequently In passing by on railroad
trains. Never was I more Impressed In
this way tban today. By all means ex
tend the park, and do It now. The
thousands of travellers will then be
able to obtain a satisfactory view of

project Harrlsburg is rapidly devel
oping as a manufacturing pity, and
property , values are going up by leaps
and bounds. Every year of delay will
largely Increase tbe price that the
state will bave to pay for tbe property.
It Is only a matter of time until the
growth of the state government will
require an extension of the present
building or the erection of new groups
of buildings. The public grounds as
they are today would not permit of
such addition.
Leaders of all parties and public
men generally are outspoken In their
beltei that now Is the time to make a
start on tbe extension of Capitol park
During a visit to Harrlsburg on Jan.
19 last. Senator Boiea Penrose said:
"I am earnestly .In favor of Capitol
park extension. It Is ah entirely proper
and legitimate undertaking for tbla
great commonwealth. Harrlsburg has
for several yeara expended large sums
as a municipality, and through the di
rect investment of Its citizens Is mak
Ing the seat of the atate government
Ideal In every way, and It is therefore
right that the commonwealth ahould
exhibit the same enterprise In provid
ing for lta magnificent capltoi building
In a proper and adequate setting.
'There is no reason m'hatever for
postponing this needed Improvement.
The state is abupdantly able to under
take the work and It would eeera to be
tba height of folly to further delay tha
Inevitable extension of tbe public
grounds. Millions of dollars are being
expended by the national government
In Improving the city of Washington,
and no loyal citizen of Pennsylvania
will object to the making of a proper
setting for the capitol here.
"From what I can gather of the sen
timent of the legislators there la little
doubt that the Capltoi park extension
measure will be -sent to Governor
Stuart for his approval at the present
aesslon of the legislature."
Senator Penrose's confidence la the
passage or tha bill at this session la
shared by members of (he legislature
generally. They realize that tha park
extension can now be authorised with
out curtailing the necessary appropria
tions for schools, roads, local charities
and other legitimate objects of sta'S
aid.

The Tryst
By GRACE M. PETERS
Tbe night wind blew the loosened
tc-,t.in fitfully. Tf. tap. hark and
fortli It fluttered, vaguely persistent,
until Eversham finally wakened. He
enened bla eyea and looked out Into
tha dim perspective of . tbe forest.
Tea. there they were, the tall
straight conifer trunks without num
berhoary, pathless, suggestive of
Ineffable mystery.
Eversham did not stir he
breathed' very quietly. - He wIsHed to
cheat time Into forgetting him and
the ecstasy of the forest dream
the dream that be bad dreamed every
night since first he took the fever;
mora thitn that, the dream that bad
been his soul's life for twenty years,
since she failed to keep the tryst and
the Joy of life had died.
Now he was dying so the strange
nurse and doctor who moved about
his bedside had said early In the
evening. When he heard a triumph
ant thrill had shaken his hot, dry
body, for be knew that tonight at
last be ahould know 'the truth the
dream would not break off, a frag
ment, as It had always done before.
It wss so cool In the murmuring
forest just such a night as that
other long ago when he left his tent
and went town to the river to meet
her. Was that twenty years ago or
only the last sundown, as It seemed?
It had been a wild country In those
daya; strange things often happened,
and when she did not keep the tryst
and never waa seen again no one
had wondered very mnch. They aatd
that others bad loved her as well aa
he. 'and that some young Loch Invar
had come out of the West and borne
her away down the river the awlft
swirling river tbat had only chatter
ed on tauntingly as the sun went
iown and the dark came on and ha
waited alone and ahe did not come.
He cofild hear tbe faint murmur of
It now.
What was that? Tbe doctor was
trying to rouae him. but he lay cun
ningly still. They could not snatch
blm back from the forest again
the -time was far too short.
The balsam bougbs on which be
lay were very sweet, and then there
waa the moon just rising over the
pointed hemlocks. He could not see
tbe moon, but be knew that it wss
up for the reflection struck the pail
of water in the tent. It was a blase,
worn-out' old moon, neither silver
nor gold, bnt the drunken copper
color of a useless candle burning out
toward daylight. He would look at
It
Eversham crawled to a moss
grown log that lay mouldering out
side the tent. Ah. now be could see
the blsck. swift river with tbe end
less mute forest on the other bank.
There was where the red campnre
had burned each night. He fancied
be aaw the lurid fire now, dancing
and glowing -with elfish light over
bait forgotten faces of old compan
lona. Wild snatches of their song
and laughter seemed borne on tha
night wind down the river down to
ward the tryatlng place that stood
out a shapelesa mass of rock above
the aeethlng current.
Eversham suddenly drew a sharp
painful breath of wonder. Some
thing was moving at the tryatlng
place aometblng vague and Indis
tinct but surely neither shadow nor
mist. What waa It? Could It be
she? Had she come at last to keep
the tryst now that ha was dying?
Tbe thought made him tremble wltb
ecstasy be could not bear so mucb
joy all at once.
"Oh, my darling, my darling," ha
whispered Imploringly, wltb all the
pent-up love of twenty years In his
tone.
Yes, there she stood, beckoning
and smiling, elusive, a shadow among
ahadows. Her Hps moved aa If she
spoke, but tbe words were lost In tba
roar of the water.
Eversham sprang to bis feet be
cared no longer for tbe nurse and tbe
doctor: tbey could not hold blm
back now. Ha was dying and be
cared not for that waa she not wait
ing to keep tire tryst? The useless
old moon was almost set, and It waa
very dark aa he groped bla way
through tbe fantastic lacy network
of abadows down to tbe rock on
Which she stood.
"Ob, my darling, my darling," ba
cried, atretchlng out bla arms.
But abe turned from him, and
bowed ber head and wept.
"Look Into tbe treacherous river,"
he beard her say. "What do you aee?
I slipped and fell Ah, why did you
not know?"
Eversham grovelled at her feet In
agony,
"My darling, my darling," be cried
again.
But bis voice met only Its own
echo reverberating from across the
awlft flowing river. He stood at tbe
tryst alone.
"Come rest with me," a voice
crooned frcm the swirling water far
below. "Come rest with me In my
river bed. Twenty yeara have I
waited, dear heart. Come rest with
me, forever."
Eversham gave a mighty cry ha
leaped out 'into the darkness; and
then there was quiet.
The old moon bad aet, tha tryst
waa kept. Tha doctor and the nurse
wbo had watched by tha bedside
since early evenlug knew that tha
fever with Its restless phantoms
would trouble Eversham no mora
ba bad found peace at last. Boatoa
