Tns tramp boarding house in Carlisle is liable to close on January 1st. ust at present the boarding house keeper gets 0 cents a day ior hoarding tramps, but tho court has cut down that sum to 4 cents a day per tramp for grub, the reduction to take place on January 1st. There won't be very much money made in boarding tramps at 4 cents a day, for the reason that a healthy tramp with a well developed appetite can paralyze over four cents worth of victuals at a single sitting. It will, however, lead to a diminution in the number of boarders, and, perhaps, that is tho intention of the court in cutting down the prices.

Williamsport had a Democratic State convention in 1881, and that ought to last it for half a century.

The Friendship Fire company will meet at the engine house to morrow evening at o'clock to attend the fair of the Paxtang Hook and Ladder Company at Steelton.

They will wear fajJgue uniforms arid present their usual fine appearance. A lot of patentees and agents of im proved ballot boxes and other election paraphernalia were in Harrisburg to day to attend a meeting at the Supreme Court room of a board of State officials, under whose direction arrangements will be made to put the new ballot law into oper ation. This board consists of Secretary of State Hamty, Secretary of Internal Affairs Stewart and Auditor General McCamant. County Commissioners from every section of tne state were present. The board met at 11 o'clock and there were many persons present to see the new ballot boxes and booths.

Tbis board is to decide upon a pattern for the shelves or compartments in which the voters' may privately mark their bal lots and to determine upon a uniform style or guard rail to be used in the vot ing room or booth, and to decide upon such other furniture and apparatus as may be necessary and to fix a limit of cost for same per shelf or compartment and per linear foot of rail. The first installment of shelves and guard rails will be provided by the county commissioners at the ex pense oi the State. All additional appa ratus required after the first election must be provided by the counties. In the room wuere tne voting is to oe done a guard rail is placed near the entrance, and no persons but the election officers and citizens about to vote will be admitted beyond the guard rail, which must be removed at least six feet from the voting shelves. I he two clerks of election should be seated at a table where the voter receives a ballot as he passes through to one of the shelves or compartments to put the cross (X) mark opposite names of the candi dates for whom he wishes to vote.

The law says that besides the election officers and such supervisors as are au thorized by the laws of the United States or overseers appointed by the courts of this Commonwealth, not more than four voters in excess of the number of voting shelves or compartments shall be allowed in said inclosed space at one time." One shelf must be provided for every fifty registered voters in any election precinct. Each party is allowed one watcher. who may remain in the room, outside the ran, to observe tne progress or tne vote. No person shall be allowed in the room. outside the inclosed space, except these watchers, voters, not exceeding ten at any one time, who are writing their turn to prepare their ballots, and officers to preserve the peace.

After getting a ballot from one ot tne clerks, and alterward marking it in private, the voter passes from his shelf over to the table, where the judge of elec tion and the two inspectors sit. The voter gives his ticket to the elec tion officer in charge of the ballot box, who. without unfolding the ballot, will number it and fold over the marked corner with the edges coated with adhesive paste and paste it down securely, "so as to cover the number and so it cannot be seen wiuioui umasiumug or cuiiiu" uucu the part so fastened down, and then de posit it in tne ballot box. rue citizen men leaves the room by the exit on the left The law requires that the ballot box shall be at least six feet from the guard rail. Alany otner details ot tne new law win be carefully considered by the State Board betoe deciding upon the several questions ab isauc One ingenious ballot box, exhibited by the Safety ballot box company, of Cam den, N.

attracted a great deal of at tention. It is the invention of a Pennsyl vanian, VV. i rank Uaul, and at a distance suggests a typewriting machine. It is made ot brass, japanned, and meas ures one cubic toot. Three sides are of heavy plate glass, which is protected by a heavy wire screen.

The back is metal ond contains a door which is secured by three six (C) lever locks capable of nearly a million combinations. no two keys of which are alike. These locks are in turn covered by another door, which is secured by a rod running to the front of the box, the dial of which is in full view of the voter. This dial is cov ered by a seal, and is to be broken at the closing of the polls. Any attempt to tamper with this during the voting hours automatically seals the box so that no more votes can be cast, thereby disclosing the act.

To vote in the box the voter places his ballot in a metal tube. which practically insures its secrecy. The tube is then deposited in the aperture which is opened by the judge, this act ringing a bell. It is impossible to get two tubes in this aperture. The judge releases the handle, closes the opening and registers the vote cast on the dial.

which is capable of registering up to 999 votes. There were other novel devices for ballot boxes on exhibition, one being the pattern now in use in Massachusetts known as the Federal ballot box. It registers and cancels the ballot automatically and is in all respects an ingenious invention. Half a dozen different boxes were ex hibited, as well as all sorts of booths and guard rails. George T.

JJlurray, or 52J Hberr street, Harrisburg, submitted a simple and substantial pattern for which he has applied for a patent. It is a square box shape compartment of wood and easily adjusta ble in any part of a room. Once inside the voter is entirely alone and cannot be seen while he prepares his ballot. The guard rails are also adjustable to any place or room. Other booths exhibited consisted ot iron frames covered with muslin and folding closets.

Each had its peculiar characteristic, and the Board gave every agent an opportunity to explain the merits of his box, booth or rail, permitting the assembled county commissioners to ask such questions as they desired to ask. secretary Harrity announced that the commissioners were invited to be prcsnt to offer such suggestions as would assist the board in arriving at a proper conclusion. The board will give its decision at a meeting to be held hereafter. There is a question in the minds of the officials com posing the board, whether they have any thing to oo witn bauot boxeB, it being the Impression that the style of booth and guard rail only are to be determined. Among those present this morning were Lieutenant Governor Watres, Senator Mylin, who is convalescing froni a severe illness; Captain Jesse M.

Baker, the champion of the ballot reform bill in the House; Charles F. Binney, of Philadelphia, secretary of the Ballot Reform As sociation; Senator Smith, of Lancaster; W. Gest, of the Lancaster Inquirer, and many others.

To both the greatest pleasure The year begins om its way Is this, the glad home comlg Upon Thanksgiving day. Once more the rooms re echo Prom kitchen, stairs and hall, The sound of old time voices, And merry dinner call WhUe many sweet grandchildren With laughter light and gay, Come pressing round the table.

This glad Thanksgiving day. So come, ye sons and daughters, From restless city strife Come, ere you lose your relish For the quiet Joys of life Come back, ye roving children, From prairies far and wide, And cluster round the hearth stone Once more at even tide. Take up the song of childhood, And sing It o'er again Forget that ye are matrons, Or buslness lovlng men. And If your eyes grow misty, Rejoice that It Is so A heart sincerely tender Is the purest one to know. Remember, with your loved ones Life's lamp doth feebly burn Your parents may not linger To greet a late return.
