CHICAGO OFFICE. 112 Dearborn Charles A. Allen, Mgr. TELEGRAPH'S NEW HOME. The announcement of the purchase the Shakespeare Hall property on Locust street, opposite the Post Office, as a site for the future home uf the Telegraph is the subject of much favorable comment and has evoked many cordial congratulations.

A newspaper which keeps step with the progress of a community and in touch with its development is something more than a private enterprise it is a part of the life and energy of the people who are its support and inspiration. About three years ago the present management assumed control of the Telegraph and it has consistently and honestly supported every movement for the advancement of the city, which it will continue to do in the years to come. A new home is now necessary by reason of the expansion of the newspaper and job printing 2lants and the location selected is regarded as pre eminently desirable iu every way. The negotiations for the purchase of the Shakespeare Hall property were conducted by the Commonwealth Trust Company through its capable trust officer, Mr. W.

1L Ogels and to him personally and to othera the Telegraph is indebted for many courtesies, which are thus publicly acknowledged. It is the purpose to begin work on the rear portion, of the new building as soon as plans can be completed, so that the mechanical and working forces may be installed before the close of the year. Col. Guffey having scratched the name of Kobert E. "Wright from his slate for delegate at large to the Democratic National Convention there is a' chance for our own James A.

whose services in the cause of a hopeles minority should in some wav be recognized. NO MORE FORBEARANCE The war in the Far East is becoming somewhat of a nuisance and almost a nightmare, for the reason that it is difficult to learn something new about it and the news agencies persist in sending out stories of en gagements which occurred a month ago. If those eastern fellows don't keep newspaper readers informed of what is happening they will have to run this war without the assistance of the Corner Store Boards of Strategy. Metropolitan newspapers print more matter about this war than they printed in chronicling the Spanish American war, But it isn't news. It is composed principally of editorials in European newspapers, what some unnamed person thinks about the war and what somebody else believed before he died and his belief became valuable.

In all of this mass of chaff there are very few grains of news. The fact is that the papers cannot get the news. This isn't treating the American public right. A great deal of American sympathy has gone out to Japan, hut she is the worse offender. She hides the news whenever possible.

We have permitted Russia, to be our friend, and she holds the news only little less tenaciously than Japan. Forbearance has ceased to be a irtue. Hereafter the mixed alphabet lighters in the Far East need not this way for advice as to the onduct of the present war. No patriotic American will henceforth advise the Japs how to swat the Russians nor inform the Russians how to lick the Japs. The American War Boards will go out of business.

No, it is useless to beg them to Temain in session; the time for concession is past. Schuylkill county is also giving its preachers an opportunity to serve on its juries. If the ministers are willing to forego the exemption which has heretofore been their privilege there is no reason to doubt that the Courts and the people will be glad to have their services as jurors. The ordinance pending in Councils providing for the reimbursement of property owners on Sixth street between Reily and Maclay, which was paved some years ago; for the cost of intersections has many supporters and is regarded as an eminently fair measure. It is proposed in this way to treat all property owners equitably as under the present paving plan the city bears the expense of paving the intersections of streets.

Of course, the passage of this ordinance will be followed by similar ordinances for the reimbursement of property owners on other streets. You can find signs of spring or you eahnot find them, just as you chobse, any old day. The oldest inhabitant is maintaining a remarkable silence in regard to weather and floods. But he will forget all about it next winter. THE HARKISBTJEG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1904.

BOUND TO CONDEMN HIM In his address before the local Bar Association Governor Penny packer took advantage of the occasion to deny that he had any promise, or was under obligation to anybody, when ho was nominated and elected to the office of Governor. Ho said he did not even promise how long he would hold office, and, strange to say, this has failed to allay the rancor of the opposition to him. There is a difference between opposition which is merely partisan and that which is both partisan and rancorous. Most of the Governor's critics appear to be in the second class. Notwithstanding the denial of the Governor who, nobody can deny, is a truthful man because he is of superior courage of conviction, his detractors repeat that he "pledged himself to serve the full term in the event of his election" and that "this pledge was published in all the papers friendly to his election." Nevertheless and notwithstanding, they cannot tell when nor where tha Governor made such a promise.

No such promise was needed to assure his election. He was not elected on the strength of a promise to keep anybody out of the Gubernatorial chair. It was not necessary for him to give a guaranty of future intention. It would be absurd for the people to ask all candidates for office, whether, if elected, they would serve a full term. If it be asked of a Governor, why shouldn't it be asked of a candidate for any other office? The fact is that from the moment the Republican party became a unit for him there was no doubt of his election, there was no necessity for the1 making of absurd pledges and nobody asked him to make any.

In truth this whole contention is ridiculous. The Governor has not announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination, though there is no reason why he should not if he wants the nomination. There is no reason why he should not be elected if the people desire to elevate him to the Supreme Court Bench. There is no reason why such aspiration should not be deemed honorable and the aspirant wholly honest. The fact is that Governor Pennypacker has been abused more shamefully by opposition newspapers during the short period of his service than any other man in or out of politics or public affairs.

He has been condemned for what he did and vhab he didn't; for what he said and didn't say; for what it was guessed he probably thought and probably did not think; for what he might have felt under the lash of newspaper invective and because of his impassiveness. Lately the Governor's every action or non action has become a reason for renewed objurgation by the opposition press. Indeed it is quite likely that he would be denounced quite as fiercely suould he refuse to accept a Supreme Court nomination tendered him by the lawyers who are now enlisted against him. NEW PHASE OF OLD JOKE The 'Washington Post, which is al ways a more or less humorous newspaper, says this about politics in Pennsylvania, The Pennsylvania delejrates to the St. Louis convention will go unin structed.

This probably means that Senator Quay has not decided upon his candidate for the Democratic nomination. This is one of the oldest jokes in politics and one that never fails to appear without loss of freshness, no matter how often it is dragged into public view. It has been compelled to work overtime these many years. And, what is somewhat mortifying, it has many Democratic subscribers. But while the joke retains its freshness the Post gives it a new face.

It used to be said that Senator Quay selected the Democratic nominees for State offices. In fact it was said quite as often as the Democrats were called to meet in State convention. But never before has it been said or even insinuated that the Senator named the Democratic candidate for President. Herein the joke is new. The leadership of any one party is quite a sufficient task for any one man, and Senator Quay has given his undivided attention to the Republican party.

If this were not the case did he arrange the nominations of the Democratic party it could not be truthfully said that there is any Democratic party. And there is a gentleman of the name of Guffey who is considerably willing to believe that there is a Democratic party, and that he is It, and that he can arrange those nominations himself. It may be said that this emphasizes the fact that there is no Democratic party. WelT, every man's belief to himself. With a few more paved streets and a few more parks, Harrisburg will be ready for the summer season.

Harrisburgers who take theirs straight, are drinking much more mud than should be their share. Now is the time to filter and live. When a newspaper or an individual degenerates into a common scold it is hardly worth while to discuss what either may say seriously. The attitude of our unhappy evening contemporary, the Star Independent, is one that suggests the urgent need of a sat I WALIS AND TALI! "Following this high water in the Susquehanna," said the old resident, "there ought to come a flotilla of rafts from the Sinnemahoning region, on their way to Middletown, Marietta and Columbia yes, as far as Havretde Grace for a market, but there will not. The time for hundreds of rafts to come floating down the Susquehanna after the big spring freshet is past, and as a matter of fact a raft is now regarded almost as a curiosity.

I remember the time when there were hundreds of rafts on the Susquehanna in March, all bound for a market farther south and Middletown, Marietta and Columbia were ports where many tied up and were sold. And then would the raftsmen jump on a train and hurry home? Not on your life. They had to work too hard for their money to spend it in railway fares. They walked home clear to the tipper waters, and they did not consider it a hardship. On the way they had all sorts of a rip roaring good time, got full, had fights, played horse with one another, and they didn't care whether school kept or not.

Their favorite stopping place was Harrisburg, and they had their regular fights at the saloons here." "Yes," spoke up another old citi 1 zen, "and don't you remember how we boys used to stone the raft men from the river banks, calling them in derision 'Corn fed Many a time we started in at State street and stoned the Yankees as far as Market Street Bridge, and the poor devils on the raft had to do some lively dodg ing, tor some or us were sharp shoot ers with river pebbles. Occasionally I 1 x. 'u" lomc scolding is its chief delight and from President Roosevelt down to the most humble official in the service of the State, county or city no Republican can hope to escape. As to its snapping and snarling regarding the new libel law we have only to suggest that it is the course of such newspapers in their unfair and brutal treatment of public officials that gives life to drastic laws of that sort. Aleck Dowie may not having as much fun in Australia as he expected, but what's the odds so long as Zion City pays the bills.

President Judge Weiss handed down an opinion this morning which clearly and unequivocally vindicates the position of District Attorney Millar in the Battis case. The opinion holds in ef fect that the District Attorney was entirely justified in refusing to send the indictments to the grand jury after they had been ignored twice, Judge Weiss evidently believes that there was 110 excuse for a further presentation of the case in the absence of new evidence to support the allegat ions. A Schujikill county jury acquitted a school teacher who whipped a pupil, but made him pay the costs. That was a compromise that will not be repeated often. Those fighters in the far East are becoming somewhat tiresome.

No American can have much respect for combatants who fire shots at a distance of five miles from each other. Let them get in where burning powder will winge their hair. Maryland doesn't like the negro, and will deprive him of the elective franchise. It's an easy way to make Democratic majorities. We Said the People Deoide From the Philadelphia Press.

The Harrisburg Telegraph says it's of no consequence what the lawyers think about the nomination of a candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court, as the lawyers do not decide it anyway. It is Senator Quay's idea that it is done by catapulting, and perhaps our contemporary has that in mind. I a raftsman would get hit. and then he would retire into the little cabin on the end of the raft, get out his deer hunting rifle, and come out to wing one of us, but by the time he got out we were as far away as Second street, ana tney never touched us, Why did we stop stoning them at Market street? Because, if we went any further down the South ward boys would meet us and take us up the river front with a shower of rocks. It was their turn to stone the raftsmen after the raft got to Market street, and we always respected the amenities.

Occasionally," said a third citizen, "a thrifty raftman would make an ark of his lumber and bring it down the river laden with apples or potatoes or some other article of sale, and he would tie up and do a brisk business. It was the duty of every river rat to loot that man's ark, if he could, and many a time while the man who owned the apples was off seeking a wholesale customer the boys were doijag some wholesale looting that would have put a band of bucaneers to the blush. I hear tales of the degeneracy of the boys of modern times, but from my point of view they are no worse to day than Toey were forty years ago I remember," said a fourth citi zen, "when the vacant ground from Front to Second and from Briggs to Herr streets, was one vast lumber yard. Ihe rafts from up the river would tie up along the shore, the own ers would sell on the spot, and the lumber would be piled along the bank in the space mentioned. But they don't tie up here any more.

THE DISOBEDIENT BOY f. I By Alfarat Hurting of 1121 Wal lace Street. aaaj i1iJli AAA A WTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTn Carl one day wanted some cherries, and his mother said she would buy him some, but he thought if he would go after some it would taste better. And some boys were going and he thought he would go too, but his mother told him not to go, but he went anyhow for the cherries. And you know all disobedient children al wa's get punished in some way and so he went on till he came to the cherry tree.

'And he was the one to climb the tree to get the cherries for the rest. And he fell off the tree and broke his arm. end when he found out his arm was broken he found he was lost in the woods and they did not know how to find their way out. And about half past five a man came walking along the road and the boys asked him the way out of the wood. And he told them the way out of the woods.

And asked Carl how he broke his arm and he told him how he broke it. And Carl said his mother told him not to go after the cherries and he didn't obey her, and the man said that is what you get for not obeying. And the boy said he was sorry that he didn't obey. And when Carl went home his father sent for the Doctor and the Doctor could not fix it and so he had to get it cut off. IE MARKET BASKET "What's all the bloomin' racket?" asked the Shanghai on Parade; "Why, don't you know? Why, don't you know Miss Pauline Pullet said; "They're knockin' on our product, an' you bet it isn't nice, "They're knockin' on our product, an' twenty five's the price; rretty soon they'll get us down as cheap as Susquehanna ice." "An' the farmers are a kickin' in the mornin'." It is a solemn fact that eggs were twenty five cents a dozen in market this morning, and the supply was very large.

There were eggs and eggs, all kinds of eggs from the big yellow eggs clean down to the little white ones that are regarded as the freshest, and so eagerly sought after, Butter was from 23 to 28 cents a pound, the latter for nice creamery butter. The lady behind the market basket said that with the approach of spring there would be a further cheapening of the price of butter. In the way of vegetables there is a scarcity of potatoes. The price now is $1.25 a bushel, but some sold for trifle less. Cabbages still com niand a high price.

In fact cabbages are a luxury, and a small head commands fifteen cents. Poultry is still very high in price. A small chicken sells for 40 cents, and a pair of chickens with the feathers on cannot be had for less than 85 cents a pair. Dressed turkeys are 25 cents a pound, and the supply is small. Ducks are 60 cents a one, and tnere were some wild ducks in mar ket that sold for $1.25, a pair, but they were skinny and not in good The prices of meats, fish and oys ters remained unchanged, but the de mand for fish is very large during the Lenten season.

The opening up of the waters has increased the supply of oysters, and nice ones can now be had for 40 cents a quart, but the big Crissfields are 50. Some red snapper was sold at 15 cents a pound, but there are no more black bass on the market, the Fish Commission having arrestea au wno sea tnem. MEMBERS OF BOYS' CLUBS WILL FORM CONVENTION CHORUS Members of the Boys' clubs of this city will meet on Monday evening1 at 8 o'clock in the basement of the Mes siah Lutheran Church for the pur pose of forming a chorus to sing at the State Boys' Brigade convention to be held here in April. Dr. John lager, who has charge of the train ing of the chorus, hopes for a large turnout, ah members of Boys clubs will be welcome.

The Matting Question This is the year to buy matting The war in the East will surely send prices kiting some carpet journals go so tar as to say there 1 be no Japanese mattmg at al next year, but nobody know: that. At any rate there's a fine big stock here now, ordered months ago and selling at the same fair prices we've always charged: 10c to 55c a yard, with ott on a roll of 40 yards. No marked change in pattern except an abundance oi green perhaps the best color in matting, Checks, stripes and carpet pat terns in great variety, including; the plain ecrus that never lose their charm. Good mattiner firm, close woven, durable, We let nothing come into the store that's not a credit. C.
