Hanna's first official act was sign a lease of the rooms. Before going to luncheon Mr. Hanna announced the appointments of George M. Rouser. a Washington reporter, chief of the library bureau, and Henry Birrell, of New York, as sergeant-at-arms of the committee.

For half an hour Mr. Hanna sat in reading room of the hotel, conferring with Mr. Kerens and Charles A. Dawes, Comptroller of the Currency. Then he went back to headquarters with Mr.

Kerens and opened some more telegrams. "We have invited ex-Speaker Thomas B. to speak, also Speaker Henderson Senator Mr. Hanna fiend said in answer to a question. "Did Mr.

"Senator Jones, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, claims that his party will carry New York State," suggested the reporter. "'Let him," said Senator Hanna; "that's what Jones is for. He can claim everything. We are not boasting over here.

We are hard at work, don't regard the contest as a walkover by any means. I am naturally confident, but we don't expect to win without work or by claiming everything in sight." "How about the German vote?" he was asked. "The Germans are all right," said Mr. Hanna. "They I have not seen any of this di-affection talked about.

NEW CUMBERLAND. New Cumberland, July 28. -New Cumberland was practically a "deserted village" to-day. Most of the folks attended the annual picnic of Trinity United Brethren Sunday school, which was held at Williams' Grove. All the industrial plants down in order to allow their employes to attend the outing.

The picnic was one of the largest attended and most successful ever held, nearly 300 tickets being sold. The Citizens' Band and the New Cumberland base ball team accompanied picnickers. The former furnished the music during the day and the latter played a match game with a team from Mechanicsburg. A large number of persons also went to Tolchester Beach with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers' excursion. Ninety-three tickets were sold for the latter excursion.

The services in the various churches to. morrow will be very interesting and should be largely attended. The Rev. A. S.

Fasick, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, is now preaching a series of very interesting sermons to young folks. In the evening at Trinity United Brethren Church the pastor, the Rev. W. H. Weaver, will preach an historical sermon on Trinity Church.

The Rev. drew Detter, pastor of the Church of God, will be absent He will preach during the day in Shiremanstown. Farmers say that the recent rain which fell this week, has had a wonderful effect on the crops, which were being parched and dried up for want of moisture. The corn has been greatly benefited and looks much better than a week ago. Roasting ears, tomatoes and other garden truck is now beginning to come into market again.

The rain has also been of much benefit to the fruit, which was beginning to drop from the trees on account of the drought. While crossing the Susquehanna river on the steam ferry boat the other day, a popular young man fell asleep, pot and dreamthat he was a steam whistle, blew a shrill blast and gave orders to Captain Hoon what he should do. He tried to explain the matter afterward by saying that ate several slices of chocolate cake hand about a quart of peanuts the night before. Chief Burgess Mumper should put an immediate stop to the rowdyism and disorderly conduct that exists at Market and Third streets almost nightly. It is dangerous for a gentleman to escort a lady past the corner on account of the hoodlums who gather there for fear he will be insulted.

A few arrests and several hours in the borough lock-up would soon break up this conduct. Several important changes have taken place on the trolley line here. George Spahr and Ray Miller have quit the company's service. Jacob Ensminger, for several years past gate keeper at the Peoples' Bridge, is now winning, on the road as motorman. He succeeded as gatekeeper by Harry Arnold, of Harrisburg, who run on the "short.

line." Mr. Arnold was one of the most popular men in the employ of the trolley company and his many friends are glad to see him secure his new position. Mr. Arnold will enter upon his new duties on August 1st. The Citizen's Band held a rehearsal last evening and practiced a number of selections for the U.

B. picnic to-day. Mrs. Elmer Strominger and children, of Mechanicsburg, were the guests of the former's sister, Mrs. Wright, yesterday.

Sterline will leave shortly for California, where he goes to recuperate his health. Mr. Bryen, who resided in Mr. Mumper's house at Elkwood, moved to Harrisburg yesterday. Miss Florence Ebert.

of near Shiremanstown, is the guest of Mrs. John Stanler. Mrs. Scott Guistwhite, who was taken suddenly il Thursday wita cramp, is improving. MARKET GOSSIP.

What the Market Basket Contained and What it Cost to Fill it. The city markets this morning were grand object lessons of the wonderfully rich region of which Harrisburg is the centenid They were fruitfulness glorious of specimens the field. of truck patch and garden. county fair ever had a better display "things good No, for the stomach," and the number of buyers and sellers was almost equally as large as the attendance on the "big day" of a fair. And no wonder, for there were vegetables of all kinds berries and fruits in season, all kinds of meats, fresh applebutter and cider, "smearcase." flowers everything an epicure could desire.

The farmers were all smiles and talked about the rain which fell during the week. Their crops in the field and' the truck patch were literally burning up. The rain came just in time, which means gold--and silver, too -in farmers' purse. The effect of the rain is already noticeable in the roasting ears and tomatoes. The former was nice and sweet and juicy.

The lima bean is now walking abreast with the corn and the succotash partnership is about to be entered into. Tomatoes still give evidence of having been in the sun. Some of them are withered and wrinkled, but there are some nice ones and they were quickly snapped up day. The toto mato is the boss of the garden or truck patch--in taste of -but it must be firm and rotund of form in order to fill the bill to the letter. There were also lots of nice fresh home grown cucumbers, peas, beans, potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, onions, radishes, red beets, all that could be desired for the cooking pot.

There will be plenty of "punkin" pies this winter. The afrmers say so, and they are in a position to speak by the book. The blackberry crop. is a big one. Bushels are now going into jam and wine and it's a hard time on the venturesome fly.

It's remarkable how the cows and hens have been working all summer. The hot weather hasn't affected either the least bit. Neither has knocked off working, and the farmers ray that neither has yet said a word about taking a. vacation. This is good news to the breadwinner.

The butter was unusually nice this morning. No oily, greasy stuff nowadrys. The ice man stands between these noyances and happy conditions of the present. Great is the ice man. Eggs are growing--not only in favor, the field of cookery is expanding--thereby creating new wants for them.

The butchers say that the hot weather is beginning to affect their trade. Notwithstanding their complaints they continue to display a great variety and the choicest kinds of meats for their customers. People must have meat and the butchers know it. 'They only want a chance to growl about the weather.

THE FISH COMMISSION. Its Stations Hatched Over 81,000,000 of Fishes and Frogs. The annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission was held yesterday in Philadelphia. Reports were made by the superintendents of the four fish hatching stations maintained in different parts of the State, giving the following figures: Number of fry hatched during the year: White fish, pike-perch, 000; blue pike, shad, 000; frogs, brook trout, 000; A Atlantic salmon, lake trout, total, 81,663,164. Fish for one year and over distributed during the year: Brook trout, California trout, 665; hybrid trout, 500; brown trout, 550.

Total, 10,727. Owing to the fact that those making application for fish for planting frequently delay doing so until May and June, with results that are fatal to the fish, the following recommendations, made by Assistant Secretary E. Meehan and all the superintendents, were adopted: "First. That no application for trout be received after April 30th. "Second.

That no attention be paid to requests as to time of shipping fry, but that they be shipped with regard to the best interests of the fish, instead of merely to the convenience of the purchaser." portant experiments have been made in the rearing of black and rock bass. Large numbers of gold fish have been raised for the public schools, and a series of 1,400,000 fish eggs has been prepared to be used as object lessons, following the work on germination of seeds.

To Be Used for Carrying Passengers Economically to Any City Locality Desired. and a the beat to as the sil- to as We our if of All the bicycles hitherto in use are adapted to carry only one person or are so arranged that when two or inore are carried each rider must aid in the propulsion of the machine. James C.

Anderson, of Highland Park, has turned his attention to the designing of a vehicle which is adapted to carry two persons through the physical exertions of only one. The inventor states that the machine will be found useful in cities and towns for the purpose of conveying a passenger comfortably and economically to any locality, expeditiously. The person the machine also has full control of the THE LATEST CYCLE CAB. steering, which is accomplished 'by turning the front wheel exactly as though it were the forward wheel of an ordinary bicycle, and the driver is also expected to maintain the cab in an upright position when at rest, in order that the passenger may seat himself or alight in perfect safety. The vehicle is composed of two frames, which are hinged to each other, with the handle-bars attached at the rear of the forward frame, causing the wheels to turn in opposite directions and aid in maintaining the equilibrium of the Daily News.

A CYCLIST IN SPAIN. Some of the More or Less Amusing Annoyances to Which He Is Constantly Subjected. An odd and extremely aggravating obstructionist to be reckoned with in the realms of Don Alfonso and Don Carlos is the creaking ox cart. On first-class roads the thing is not formidable, but met in the mountains, where there is not one only, nor any, fewer than 20 of them, in a long, eartormenting procession, it becomes vexatious. It is worse still when, in descending one or other of the glorious mountain zigzags, you see a dozen or two of the monstrosities studded about the road beneath you.

Of course, no man will be likely to' cycle in these countries without a brake. Even then, however, it galls prodigiously to pull up in the very middle of ecstasy time after Moreover, there may be a very profound ravine on one side of the road, and it is somewhat more than' possible that the oxen, heavily yoked they are, may yield to a panic thought of the cycle. Then anything may happen, from the death of one span of beautiful mild-eyed beasts to the death of the cyclist himself at the hands of the frenzied driver. As for oxen, 80 of the mules, high-spirited and inexperienced, and even the generally phlegmatic common donkeys of the land. The cycle is quite as, likely as not to excite in them all a feeling of alarm akin to madness.

We write this with an especially tender recollection of the overturn of a large wagon of goods and, human beings, drawn by four mules, all of whom took flight most graceful-1 ly under the gentle stimulus of our melodious bell. This was on the highroad between Burgos and Madrid. Tel was a petrifying calamity at first, though in the end, happily, it did not mean anything very serious. An oath or two from the swarthy Castilian men of the party, a good deal of tugging with the aid of other mules as well as the terrified four, some sobs and prayers to the Virgin from the women and children thus surprised and capsized, and a peseta or two from the cyclist himself for the bruises of the youngsters, with all the regrets' he could signify--and that was the full tale of the mischief. But the eyelist subsequently reflected, with A curdling of the blood, about the awful consequences if the disaster had happened on the edge of a precipice instead of on the borders of a wheat Journal.

Lower Gears Are Favored. It is predicted that riders will soon realize that the use of the coaster brake will result in lower gears beIng used. High gears for road riding have been found to increase the dis comforts of cycling, and for hill climb. Ing a high gear 18 a positive burden. A machine geared to 68 will give all the necessary speed, and in going up a hill this gear, with the coaster, will give the best results.

It is related that an English inventor has perfected a puncture locater, whereby an ammoniac solution 19 forced into the tire. The result is a blue spot on the surface o.
