will probably be the most interesting Old Home Week celebration ever held in this section of the country, will take place at Carlisle, during the week of August 22-28. The celebration will be combined with the one hundredth anniversary of the Cumberland fire company of this place, which has had allied with it in the past some of the n.ost prominent of Pennsylvania's public men, and the convention of the Cumberland Valley Firemen's A850- which represents all of the volunteer fire companies in the valley reaching southeast through four states, from Harrisburg to West Virginia. Not many of the smaller cities have such opportunity to celebrate an Old Home Week on such do pretentious scale as has Carlisle. Her educational institutions have, literally sent out thousands into the highest walks of life. Particularly is this the case of Dickinson college, which ranks as the tenth oldest institution of its kind in United States, and whose alumni according to the statistics gathered lately by a metropolitan publication, rank seventh among the alumni of American collegiate institutions, as having attained high places among their fellowmen.

The famous Carlisle Indian school, with its many old instructors and graduates, former regular army garrison, with its thousands of soldiers, Metzgar college, Conway Hall, and the famous Dickinson law school, all contribute to the success of the coming event through their large lists of alumni. Besides these attractions Carlisle which sent out pioneers for over a century to the west, has its own special field of home-comers, to enliven the occasion. It is safe to say that not a considerable community exists for a radius of three hundred miles, which does not contain one or group of persons interested in old Carlisle. Committees Hustling. every hand committees are hustling, and business men are planning improvements and decorations with which to bewilder the homecomer.

Never has Carlisle with all its well known natural beauty been SO attractive to the eye. The streets are models of neatness. and the numerous parks trimmed with a degree of care that is astonishing. Backyards and front lawns have been made ornamental and there are few houses in the town which have not repainted during the past six months. Carlisle's Old Home Week will be formally opened by a monster religious service whieh will be held on beautiful Dickinson college campus, under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian association.

At this service the famous Carlisle Oratorio society will sing big numbers from works they have produced in the past, the Creation, Messiah and Elijah. Elaborate Decorations. The decorations will be largely of the national colors, but blue and gold have been selected as the official colors for the week. During the past week local contractors have been constructing the cruciform court honor which will adorn the centre of Carlisle. Large arches will bound the court on High and Hanover streets, at the intersections, respectively at Pitt and Bedford.

Louther and Pomfret streets. Small pillars will run from these four widely separated arches to the public square, where they will be joined to a monster quadruple white arch by strings of electric lights. Each fire company in the town is providing magnificent decorations for its own home. The Cumberland fire company in addition, has this summer constructed a beautiful garden in the rear of its handsome engine house, which has lately been freed of debt by the generosity of local business men. The chief marshal for the civic parade, which will be held on Wednesday, August 25, and the monster firemen's parade, which will be held on Thursday, August 26, have been selected.

Sheriff Joseph E. Einstein will marshal the civic display and William Goodyear, president of the Cumberland Are company, will lead the firemen hosts. Aids will be announced next week. The civic parade will be unusually unique and one notable feature will be representations from townships of Cumberland county. In the firemen's parade there will be about forty representative volunteer fire organizations from this and nearby states, who will share the hospitality the local fire- fighters.

Queen Contest Lively. The voting contest, which is being conducted by Old Home Week committee, has developed a remarkable amount of interest. Additional third and fourth prizes of a gold watch and an annual ticket to a local theater has been added to the diamond ring and Atlantic City trip, already offered. The leading contestants to date are the Misses Almeda Jones, Mary Mulgrew, Gretta Forrey, Effie Null, Cecile Ziegler, Minnie Fox, Mary Mentzer, Margaret Meck, Mary Wilkes, Isabel Diffenderfer, Abbie Glass. Helen Meck, Helen Rice, Jean Richards, Edna Ebberts.

Mary Maust, Ella Messenger, and Helen Delp. Auto Parade. The Cumberland Valley Auto association will hold an auto parade on Wednesday evening, August 25, in which there will appear a large ber of handsome machines from this and neighboring counties. The Cumberland Valley railroad will feature the exhibition of its old locomotive, "The Pioneer," built in 1851, and will place this on exhibition in front of the Dickinson college campus, together with a reproduction of one of the old combination cars of the same date, used on this road. A local committee has arranged a "seeing Carlisle" tour under competent guides, for Tuesday morning, August 24, at which time visitors will be conducted to all points of interest in this locality.

The Hamilton Library association of Carlisle, one of the best known historical societies in the state, hag prepared an interesting exhibition of historical articles, curios, heirlooms, in their building on North Pitt street, and will open the same to the public during Old Home Week. From the standpoint of interest to former Carlislers, the Carlisle school alumni reunion, which was postponed from last June, will probably be the paramount event.

I am better. My cure is finishing and I am very glad I am going to see the soil of America again. My only hope is that the voyage back will be as good as that coming over." These words were spoken last night by E. H. Harriman, the American financier, in reply to a question about his health just as he was boarding a tender which had been especially assigned to convey him and his party from Cherbourg to the anchorage in the Roadsted of the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II, which will convey him to New York.

The steamer started on its journey last night. A crowd of curious persons had congregated at the Maritime station when the special arrived. A rolling chair had been provided and was placed beside the car as soon as the train came to a stop. Soon Mr. Harriman appeared on the step.

Dr. Lyle, Mr. Harriman's physician, offered the financier his arm, but although he was pale and appeared feeble, he declined assistance and slowly descended to the platform of the station. He also declined to use the rolling chair and walked without assistance aboard the tender. He was protected from the strong wind by a big overcoat.

day evening, August 25, and addresses will be made by leading alumni of the local schools, which are about the oldest institutions of their kind in the country. The court house meeting on Monday evening will be interesting to old Carlislers because of its design for covering a long range of historical interest. Will Have a Midway. The con mittee on concessions and privileges has had blue prints made sections of the town where temporary establishments will be permitted. The triangular lot in the rear of Metzgar college, abutting on Hanover and Pitt streets, has been set aside as a midway, where special attractions will be offered.

Thousands of official badges have been secured by the badge committee and they will be put on sale during Old Home Week. The a official badge shows a representation of the new fountain recently erected in front of the court house, with a picture of Carlisle's famous "Old Town The sports for firemen and others, which have been arranged for Friday, August 27, will be among the most interesting of the whole week's events, as nowhere in the county have volunteer firemen SO concerned themselves with athletic feats as in the Cumberland Valley. Carlisle expects to outdo herself with open -handed hospitality, on the occasion of her triple celebration, and is confident of her ability to take care of the scores of thousands of her prospective guests.

STEELTON TWO HURT IN RUNAWAY Horse Takes Bit Between Teeth and Makes Dash, Injuring Occuof Wagon. One of thrilling runaways on theants record in Steelton occurred this morning shortly before 12 o'clock. Nathan Friedberg's delivery wagon, from Harrisburg, was being driven by Harry Friedberg and Simon Baturin, of 418 Walnut street. The wagon contained several cases of soft drinks and a number of boxes of candy. On Mohn street a delivery had been made and at corner of Second and Mohn streets the horse became unmanageable.

It took the bit between its teeth and the excitement started. Both Friedberg and Baturin, who is fifteen years old, were thrown from the wagon and the wheels went over them. The wagon went over Friedberg's stomach and Baturin, after having the weight of the wagon on his body, was dragged for some distance. With the exception of bruises all over their bodies, both were in good condition after, their experiences. Upon throwing off some of the weight, the horse continued down Mohn street to Front and ran at break-neck speed.

Several men tried to check its speed, but with no avail. Just above Swatara street was Frank Armstrong's meat wagon. The wagon attached to the runaway horse hit this wagon and turned over. The horse could go no further and it stopped itself. The shafts on Armstrong's wagon were broken and the team was also damaged in other ways.

This is the third time in less than a year that Armstrong's wagon has been damaged by runaways ing it. When Friedberg's wagon turned over the bottles in it were scattered all over the street and broke, and automobiles were held up until the broken glass was taken away. After the accident Friedberg refused to discuss the matter and would not tell his name. Vacancy on Force. A meeting of the police committee of council was held last evening to consider the appointment of a man to All the vacancy on the police force caused by the resignation of A.

Head, of Catherine street; T. B. Hill, of North Second street; W. J. Ashley, Main street.

Ashley was a member of the steel company's police force. Trip to Atlantic. Automobiles en route to Atlantic city are quite in evidence this week. M. A.

There are few musical organizations in this section of the state that have made the rapid progress that the local band has and Director Zala deserves much credit.
