TUESDAY EVENING, NOV. 21 ENTERTAINING THE GOVERNORS THERE should be no debate over the passage of the resolution presented in Common Council last evening providing for the (entertainment of Governors of ten 'iWestern States who will visit Harrisburg December 12 on their tour of the East. The tour is the first of its kind. The chief executives of at least ten of the States west of Mississippi are coming East on a mission of education and good will. Stopping at twenty one cities between Chicago and New York they will travel 4,000 miles and give opportunity to at least 12,000,000 people to learn more of the West.

The special train will carry exhibit cars, showing the products of each of the States represented and the Governors will act as guides and lecturers for the people who choose to visit the cars. They will have nothing to sell but a great deal to say and the novelty of being piloted about by real, live governors will no doubt draw thousands to the train who might not otherwise pay it a visit. In Washington President Taft will give a reception in honor of the visitors. Of course the whole thing is intended to be a big advertisement for the West, but Harrisburg has a little advertising of her own to do and no better way has recently presented itself to spread the fame of our well paved streets, our parks, our railroad connections and advantages in general than to give the governors of these ten States an automobile ride around the city during their brief stay in Harrisburg. We would be justifying our reputation for hospitality and at the same time be giving the visitors something to remember to our profit by tendering them the' most lavish entertainment within our means.

John Harris used to go to his back door on Thanksgiving morning, carelessly point his trusty fowling piece Into the woods, pull the trigger and bring down a twenty four pound wild turkey. Nowadays we starve the family for a week, stand oft the coal dealer, go without cigars, pawn our overcoat, take two weeks' salary firmly In our hand, hustle off to market and bring back a scrawny eight pound turkey hen. THE MAJESTICS FINE RECORD IT is worthy of record that the management of the Majestic Theater Is atoning handsomely for sins of the past In the list of high class attractions that it has furnished this season. "Get Rich Quick Wallingford," one of the recent New York successes; Billie Burke, Ethel Barrymore, Blanche Ring, Henrietta Crosman, Louise Gun ning, Grace La Rue, J. Forbes Robertson, the Russian dancers, May Irwin, "The Girl of the Golden West," "The Gamblers" and "The Deep Purple" are a few of the big things with which Manager Mirlck has favored us thus far, although the season is not yet three months old.

Among the attractions that are promised for future dates are Fritzi Scheff, Marie Dressier, Francis Wilson, "The Roundup" for two days, "Baby Mine," with the original New York cast, and Sothern and Marlowe. It may be said that either the list of attractions that we have had already or the partial list of those to come contains more really first class performances and stars than we have had in many a whole season gone by. Manager Mirick and the interests he represents are entitled to the thanks and should also receive the financial encouragement of the people of the Capital City. "Fritzi Scheff has a cold." "Fritzi Scheff hasn't a cold." Fritzi Scheff has a good press agent. DISCOVERY OF COAL HE suggestion of a writer in I Evening Chat that the people of the Lykens Valley begin to pre pare a suitable celebration of the One hundredth anniversary of the discovery of coal in that region is made in plenty of time, yet the event Is of such importance that it should not be allowed to steal upon us unawares.

In the life of a busy State fifteen years is not a great while. At all events, it is better that the suggestion should come loo goon than too late. The history of coal mining In Pennsylvania Is the history of coal as a fuel in the I'nited States, anil the Lykens Valley, if not the first, was among the first to disclose this tremendous source of wealth and power. It would be superfluous for ua to speculate on the part coal has played in the development of North America, but we are prompted to remark, as we have frequently remarked in the past, that this State furnishes as much of it tor the multifarious purposes of civilization and progress as do all the other States of the Union put together. Of all the coal mined in Pennsylvania none Is of a better quality or more eagerly sought after than the Lykens Valley product.

By all means let ua have a centennial celebration that will be commensurate with the service that has been rendered us by coal. If certain pessimistic experts are to be credited, the supply may be exhausted before another century rolls around, and there Is nothing like making hay while the sun shines. The town which Is without an active church Is indeed unfortunate. New Market Is therefore to be doubly congratulated on the opening of St. Chrys ostom'a Protestant Episcopal Church, while the militant missionary spirit which led to establishing the mission is another step for "the evangelization of the world In this generation." May every other churchless community be equally fortunate! NO DEMAND FOR REFERENDUM 1X7 1113 UlC Ck ii i wvat7 throughout the State on the proposed constitutional amendments Is any criterion, the people are not yet ready to assume such close and detailed management of their political affairs as is necessitated by the refer endum.

These amendments for the purpose of enabling Philadelphia to increase her debt sufficiently to carry out certain public improvements and for the consolidation of the courts of Allegheny county. Both were in a sense local measures and yet both were represented by the opposition newspapers of the Commonwealth as "gang measures" which should be emphatically rejected by the electorate. The amendment affecting Philadelphia was of special interest "up State" be cause of the charges of organization corruption and bossism which hae long been attached to public expendi tures in that, the first city of Pennsylvania, In 1910 the total vote for Governor was 998,444 and it is safe to assume that in view of the natural Increase of voters and the unusual interest In many local contests, at least 1,000,000 votes were polled at the election this month. Yet the State outside of Philadelphia cast only 137,546 ballots on the Philadelphia amendment and not more than 65,000 voters in Philadelphia paid any attention to it, making a total of approximately 200.000 votes. In other words, but one fourth of the persons who took the trouble to go to the polls and mark their ballots con sidered It worth their while to exercise the authority which the Legisla ture had conferred upon them.

Certainly this does not speak well for the referendum. "There is good sleighing in Montana," says an exchange. And good slaying wherever a hunter shows his head along the deer runs in Pennsylvania. TEACHERS OF HARRISBURG 1THIX recent months, Harris burg schools have been visited by some prominent educators, all of whom have been loud in their praises of the work that has been accomplished in our private as well as our public institutions of learning. It is stated that the Harrisburg Academy ranks higher in the matter of entrance examinations to the large Eastern colleges and universities than most of the preparatory schools of New England, and it is the general opinion that our public schools, both high and grade, are unsurpassed for management and teaching force.

The Telegraph desires to say a word on behalf of the teachers of Harrisburg and to remind the people of this city that whatever objection, just or unjust, political or otherwise, there may have been to the schools of Harrisburg, it did not and does not apply to that splendid body of men and women who have them, actively in charge. Taken individual by individual, no city in the State has a higher average of teachers and few would court comparison with us. The Manchus are shocked because the Emperor's mother has eloped with an actor. She probably prefers being a bad live princess to being a good dead one. THE SCHOOL GARDENS GLANCING over the report of the Harrisburg School Gardens for the past season one is struck by the large amount of produce a small plot of ground can be made to yield.

The land cultivated by the boys and girls Was not especially rich, but the crop, yard for yard, would compare favorably with any grown by the professional truckers of the neighborhood. This for the two fold reason that the pupils used the best of seeds and attended carefully to their little gardens. They watered and they hoed and they raked constantly, and the plants responded in proportion. The high cost of living bugaboo has few terrors for the' man with a knowledge and a love for 'gardening. He makes his dooryard yield to his table much for which his neighbor pays the grocer reluctantly from his daily earnings.

The man who tilled his plot of ground last summer while his neighbors hied themselves away to the parks has to day his little horde of vegetables safely stored against the rigors 'of winter and the high cost of living, and above that he has stored within himself strength and vigor THE TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, lyif. IfJBVENIHC CHATJI Between the constitutional amendments and the various laws relative to the time of beginning olllolal terms of office a number of people have a rather contused idea of the time when certain officials go into office and others go out. Chief Clerk (Seorge 1). Thorn, of the State Department; Pro thonotary James H. Worden and City Clerk Charles A.

Miller as well as Secretary D. D. Uammelbnugh, of the school board are all having their own times answering questions about the time of commencement of terms. Kven some of the men elected nre not by any means sure. It eems that by the amendments county officers are not disturbed and will take their offices on the first Monday of January, as before, but municipal officers and coun cilmen will have their Inauguration day on the first Monday of December, which is the fourth.

The school directors, under the new school code, take office at the same time in December as the councllmen. The Rev. John Grimes, who was one of the speakers at the opening services of the new Episcopal Church at New Market, is well known to many here, although he Is now residing up the State. Mr. Grimes comes from New Cumberland and attended the Harrisburg Academy where he was one of the scholars In the school and likewise considerable of an orator.

Several times he won the coveted distinction of monitor, being in com petition with John T. Brady and R. M. Rutherford for the honors. The removal of the scaffolding from the Hall of the House of Representatives has enabled people to get a Sllmpse of the splendid paintings exe bey.

They are his last works and if anything, his best. Yesterday Mrs. Abbey had the pleasure of escorting Governor Tener to the hall and explaining to him the ideas of her late husband. She knew as much of the theme as did Mr. Abbey and her ex planation to the Governor won from him many compliments.

Mrs. Abbey, who has been here since the arrival of the paintings, has superintended all of the work and will leave in a few days for New York. She will ultimately return to England. Following the example of those in charge of the greens in various golf courses of the country, the greens' committee of the Harrisburg Park Gold Club has adopted for the first time this fall a scheme for preserving the "greens" on the Reservoir links. This is the "tobacco" treatment; the answer incidentally to the question that many a curious one uninitiated to the mysteries of greens' treatment, may have asked when he saw the eputtin8s greens.

The treatment consists simply of an inch layer of tobacco stems. These stems hauled from nearby cigar factories, it has been found, answer better than anything else as a winter preservative of the grass. Cold weather has interfered this fall more than e.ver before with the setting out of plants and the completing of other early fall planting by the Park Commission. Some 10,000 odd matrimony vines and hundreds of other plants were to have been set out along the new lake road in Wildwood and in other sections of the city parks and parkways and practically all of this work has been held up because of the cold snap. The milder weather of the last few days has been promptly utilized however by V.

Grant Forrer, secretary superintendent and the planting Is being rushed. There's something in the nature of a pleasant essleslastlcal pun In the name of St. Chrysostom's Protestant Episcopal Church, at New Market, which is being formally opened today. St. Chrysostom was one of the leaders in the early Christian church from outdoor exercise far more efficacious in warding off the cold and chills of January than the warmest flannels ever woven.

And for the long winter evenings he has at his elbow the most cheering literature of spring and flowers ever written, the modern seed catalogues with their more than life like colored illustrations and their ensnaring descriptions of what a five cent package of mixed seeds will do when properly planted, and hoed and watered. Truly the gardener is blessed above others and twice blessed is he who learns the art of growing things early in life. "Open to Me!" "Open to me!" I heard the thrilling prayer In deepest dark of night, and life, and fate. My hearth was black, my house was swept and bare; My weary day had passed, the hour was late. Yet One had come, and I had heard no sound Of foot against the porch, no garment fold Blown by the hurrying wind.

On the hard ground The frost was Iron and the world was cold! "Open to me!" "Nay, I am poor," I said, "And I have naught to give, nor food, nor fire." Open to me! Thou Shalt not be afraid; I ask for nothing nothing I desire Save at thy welcoming word to enter in; To share thy poverty the burden laid Upon thy weariness. Nor shame nor sin Are bolts to bar me out," the low voice prayed. Open to me! My path was set with thorns; Sorrow and suffering kept pace with me: I waked to anguish In the lonely morns; I toiled through desert wastes, where terrors be: My feet were bare upon the blistering stones; The whirling wind beat on my unclothed breast; I walked where misery was, and bitter moans; Open to me, that I may, entering, rest!" And did I grudging wait, nor turn the key. Nor lift the bar that held my close shut door? Too poor of heart to share even poverty? For friendly smile, and healing touch, too poor? Had I no crumb to give, no meanest dole? Could my lips find no faintest answering word When, for the ransom of my outcast so ul. Thou earnest to plead, my Saviour and my Lord? Madeline Bridges, in The Christian Herald.

A Delightful Reason. Boatman Peter an me'll not able to take ye out flshin' tonight, ma'am, but Peter's nephew will be afther takln' ye ye like. Lady Well, I hope Peter's nephew Is cleanei than Peter Is. Boatman He is, ma'am; he's younger. London Punch.

AN EVENING THOUGHT We reduce life to the pettiness of our daily living: we should ex alt our living to the grandeur of life. Phillips Brooks, and, except for the Lord's prayer, the 'prayer of St. Chr sostom" is probably the oldest prayer in the Book of Common Prayer of the English church. Originally written by him in Greek, It has been in steady use for about sixteen centuries and is to day the final prayer In both the order for morning prayer and the order for evening prayer in the Protestant Episcopal Church. In this prayer Is recited the Divine promise that "whenever two or three are gathered together in Thy name Thou wilt grant their requests." As the congregation at the new mission is not by any means enormous the connection is obvious.

Whenever a new mission is established in the diocese of Harrisburg of the Protestant Episcopal Church an effort is made, other things being equal, to give it a name which is not borne by another parish In this dio cese. This has been the policy of Bishop Darlington ever since the dio cese was erected, and his course meets with general approval. When Bishop Darlington came hero he found the majority of parishes named for one of the twelve Apostles, for one of the more prominent saints who was not one of the twelve or with other common names, such as Grace, Incarnation and the like. The bishop at once outlined a policy of using less known names in order that the people at large might be made more familiar with the names of all men and women who had prominent positions in the early church and to whom Christianity owes much. In following this plan names are at times localized as at Austin, where the mission swept away by the flood of September 80 was known as St.

Austin's: at Eaglesmere, where the mission is St. John's ln the Wilderness, and at Blue Ridge Summit where the Church of the Transfigura tion on the Mount Is located. With the advanced mode of fashions for this year comes an entirely new mode of mourning. is the wearing of a crepe heart on the sleeve which takes theplace of are mourning band and is somewhat more conspicuous. A dapper young man, faultlessly attired in a light tweed suit promenaded Market street yesterday afternoon displaying a crepe heart and for a while many pedestrians were at a loss as to what the black heart represented.

For Harrisburg this is an entirely new mode of mourning. In New York city the black heart has taken the place of the huge crepe band on the sleeve which is not uncommon here. Harrisburg turned out a goodly share of baseball players in the earlier baseball days, and not a few of the local products of the diamond drifted into fast company. "Eddie" Sales is still remembered by many fans in "Eddie' played as early as 1877 and he kept in the game for years. He was a pitcher and a short stop, but his best work was In pitching and there were frequent occasions when Eddie Sales was called Into the game to land a victory and did.

Sales was a left hander and had speed. He was also a good hitter and fast on bases. Sales is now located in New Haven, where he is employed by John McKee. a former Harrlsburger and another local baseball plaver who made good. Sales played wlth Wilkes Barre, Toledo and Montreal.

It was at Wilkes Barre where Sales made a big hit, knocking the ball out of the lot and winning a game that gave Wilkes Barre the championship. Deputy Prothonotary Harry Holler nag completed the Twelfth Judicial District court calendar for 1912 and copies are being distributed. The calendar this year is of the usual vest pocket size and contains information and data on the various terms of court for the coming year. In add! tlon to this, dates for returns in the Supreme and Superior courts find space on the back cover where there is a neatly arranged calendar. CMlfWS HE Civil War began just fifty years ago.

The Telegraph will reprint daily the news of the progress of that trreat struggle as reflected in the columns of this newspaper of that date. From the Telegraph of Nov. 21, 1861. Political Prisoners at Fort Warren The whole number of persons at Fort Warren, including garrison and prisoners, is now about 1.200. To feed these 1,400 loaves of fresh bread are sent down daily.

The men are fed on alternate days with fresh and salt rations. Once in two days over 1,450 pounds of fresh beef are provided. The regular army rations are furnished to the garrison and prisoners alike. The political prisoners receive their rations with the rest, but can purchase other provisions if they desire a change. Launched Gunboat New York, Nov.

20. The gunboat Oneida was launched this morning. News From Kentucky Paducah, Nov. 20. The gunboat Conestoga, on an exploring expedition up the Tennessee river, yesterday discovered a rebel battery near the Tennessee line.

She threw one which routed the rebels. Attending Grand Review Nov. 20. All of the town has gone to the grand review of the army at Ball's Cross Roads. The force reviewed far surpasses any other before assembled in one body in this country.

The weather is magnificent for such a display. Had the Habit and Nerve Ai slouchy looking boy, of about thirteen, was standing on the street corner when a well dressed young man walked up to him. "Say, sonny, can you give me a cigarette paper?" "Yes, sir," said the boy and pulled one out of his pocket. No sooner had the young man procured the paper than he said: "Couldn't you loan me a little to bacco, too?" The boy pulled out his tobacco box and gave the young man enough to make a cigarette. After he had completed the cigarette the young man said: "Now I'd like to trouble you for a match." When the lad rammed his hand down he looked up and said: "You ain't got a darn thing but the habit, have you, mister?" From Norman E.

Mack's National Monthly. One on Inarernoll' The great agnostic, Robert G. Inger soll. it is said, was one morning In a Washington city hotel, looking out of the great window, when a United States Senator, coming in, said: "Mr. Ingersoll, I saw a sad thing a moment ago.

I saw a man struggling across the crowded street on crutches, and I saw another man strike the crutches away from him." And Ingersoll rose with fingers twitching and eyes flashing and said. "I should like to see the man. I would punish him." The United States Senator put his hand on his shoulder and paid. "That Is what you have been trying to do for years: i striking away the crutches of the support of people In sorrow, thei support of neopli in temntatlon." The Christian Herald. I TV III VUIL mm sum Less Than a Fifth of the Voters Paid Attention to Amendments PASSED THEM UP How the Counties Voted on the Two Propositions Advocates of the referendum in State affairs are not very happy over the vote cast for the constitutional amendments and if the figures on file at the Capitol are anything to go by the voters of the State did not pay much atention to the great opportunity to express their opinion directly on legislation.

In fact less than a fifth of the voters of Pennsylvania voted on the amendments on November 7. Undes. the Constitution a system which is almost ideal for referendum is prescribed. Amendments to the Constitution must be passed by the Legislature, advertised the following year, passed again by the Legislature, then advertised again and voted upon by the people. Thus it takes practically two and a half years with two advertisements.

Yet it is doubtful If 200,000 votes were cast on the amend ments, although it is safe to assume that over 1,000,000 voters went to the polls on election day. A Terrible Slump The Vhole vote cast at the guber natorial election in Pennsylvania last year approximated 998,600 and at the Presidential election in 1908 1,267,460 persons voted. Owing to the. numerous local contests and hot fights for county and municipal offices in every county the assumption that over 1,000,000 votes were cast is safe. With Philadelphia's official returns not yet complete, the vote of the other sixty six counties on the first amend ment, the Philadelphia debt raiser, ag gregated 137,546, the favorable votes being and the negative 67,546, while the vote on the second amend ment, Allegheny court consolidation.

reached 125,586, the affirmative votes being 59,122 and the negative 66,464. Philadelphia has returned for twenty two wards 35,179 in favor of the first amendment and 6,134 against It, a total of 41,313, and on the second, 30,315 in favor and 5,405 against, a total of 35,720. Adding the partial vote of Philadelphia to the vote of the rest of the State on the first amendment gives 178,659, and if the remain ing wards show up at the same rate there will be less than 200,000 votes cast on the first amendment. The total on the second amendment runs even less. Both amendments were local in character, but everyone in the State knew what they meant, especially the first, which was attacked by the re organization wing of the Democratic State committee in a circular.

Onr Boys Feasting; We notice that the Forty sixth Pennsylvania Regiment, Colonel Knipe (to which the Verbeke Rifles, of this city, are attached), regaled themselves on Friday last on a noble specimen of Potomac turtle, a monster of his species, weighing forty pounds, which had been captured by their pickets.
