Borne time in October Capt. Morrison sent a letter containing the stickers addressed to John IT. Saul. Lower Paxton township.

Itnnnhin rountv. Pa. It was a rather vacuo address and the letter traveled all over the' township. It was in Highspire, Linglestown and several other places hunting Mr. Saul, and finally it got to Harris burg.

Then it started on the rounds again through ten offices until every Eoatmaster in the township had shaken ands with it again, and once more it sailed into the Harrisburg office. There Mr. Saul, who is a resident of Susquehanna township, secured it yesterday. If Capt. Morrison wants his bunch of "stickers" he can get them.

One man brought tears of joy to the eyes of his little wife by giving her the prettiest, most expensive pair ofhousc shocs he could find.

She hadn't had such a pair since she bought her wedding shoes, because they were so expensive. And she wore two and a half, AA, too. Occasionally a horse scares on our streets at the electric motors, but the animal is from the country and has not been used to tho whirring sound. Yesterday a couple of pretty bad runaways of frightened animals were nipped in the bud, and it might be just as well for those who hitch on streets through which the motors run to use a stout rope.

It is time for the Council Committee on Lights to get a move on and put up that light at Green and Forster the gloomiest spot in the city. Judge Penntpaoker, of Philadelphia, says that to the Pennsylvania Germans must be accorded the honor of first calling George Washington The Father of His Country."

It was years afterwards that Washington was generally referred to by the people as the father of his country.

B. Elder, 6f Paxtang, and Mitchell, Eliza and Bertha, who live at home. About five years ago Mr. Rutherford fell from a hay loft to the barn floor and narrowly escaped having his neck broken. When found his face was black and it was not supposed that he could possibly recover from the fearful fall upon his head.

He did get well, however, but always after his neck seemed to have been jammed into his body and in stature he was at least two inches Bhorter than before the accident. But a few weeks ago Mr. Rutherford took possession of a handsome new residence at Paxtang Station, the old homestead having been purchased and now occupied by Mr. L. S.

The maiden name of Mrs. Rutherford was Lydia A. Gait, a daughter of Alexander Gait, of Lancaster. Mr. Rutherford was in apparently good health up to the time of the fatal stroke.

He was a brother of William and Silas B. Rutherford. The funeral arrangements have not yet been perfected. CAUGHT THE TRAIN, But It Would Have Been Better to Have Missed, It. Judge J.

S. Runnells, of Chicago, attorney for the Pullman car company, and counsel of the Pennsylvania company, was in Harrisburg on Tuesday afternoon on legal business and registered at the Lochiel Hotel. He remarked to a legal friend that he was sorry he had not met him at the Harrisburg station, as in that event he (Judge Runnells) could have gone straight to Chicago, and arrived there on Wednesday, where he had very important business. His friend told him it was not too late to get to Chicago by Wednesday, and that if he could catch the Columbian express west he could easily get home. It lacked four minutes of the time for Columbian ex press to reach Harrisburg, yet in that time Mr.

Ross, of the Lochiel, secured the Judge's baggage for him and got him to the station, where he got a comtortable berth on a Pullman, the train pulling out at once. The sad news comes to day that among the most seriously hurt in 'the wreck of the Columbian Express at Lima, Ohio, yesterday morning, was Judge Runnells. The telegrapkic news recalled the incident of his barely catching the train at Ilarrisburg. A 3STew Church Paper.

About two months ago five slot ma chines for telling fortunes by the card process were received at the United States express office in this city. They were con siened to William E. Michener, Harris Pal. bv the Amusement machine company, of New York. Efforts were made to locate Mr.

Michener, but to no avail, and the drop a nickels are still at the express office. Whether William did not have the "necessary" to "ante up on the machines or is himself a myth is not known, but at any rate he has not appeared, notwithstanding the evident desire of the attaches to do a little business with him. Since their arrival the machines have attracted considerable attention and quite a number of nickels have been dropped in the slot and fortunes told. They consist of a metal box set upon an iron pedestal and surmounted by a chart containing two rows of fortune telling cards. Under the glass in the box portion of the machine is a to upward, are the various cards found in a regular deck.

After depositing your nickel in the slot vou press downward on the handle and the cylinder arrangement revolves. Then let go and it stops. You are then supposed to compare the cards seen under the glass when it stops with the explanation on the chart and thereby learn what fate has in store for you. For instance, tne ace oi nearis means that you will form the acquaintance of one who will do you a great favor;" jack of clubs, that "dark days are before you but the clouds will break away soon after;" king of diamonds, that "you would be more successful in some other place, so you had better move on;" ace of spades, one of your children will become famous in the world's affairs;" ten of spades, "long life will be yours, but in late years you will be very cranky;" queen of spades, "a large sum of money is coming to you very soon;" jack of hearts, "that scheme of yours will not turn out well; try something else;" queen of hearts, if you depend upon your pluck to get rich, you may expect to die poor. And so the list continues with good or bad forecasts.

You can ask the machine any question answerable by yes or no. If, after the cylinder stops, more red than black cards turn up, your wish will be gratified, and vice versa. A citizen who sent away an express package the other day, stopped at the machine, dropped in a nickel and was so pleased with the good fortune told him that he then and there copied it off for future reference, AMERICAN FERTILIZER WORKS. Operations Will Be Begun Xext Week, Ever since the fire fiend destroyed the fertilizing works of M. M.

Grove, at Per dix, above Marysville, on the P. R. that gentleman has been active in his efforts to erect a larger and" better plant at a more advantageous location, and finally succeeded in interesting a number of Har ripburg and nearby capitalists sufficiently to organize a company with $25,000 capital known as the American Fertilizer company.

PRACTICAL BUSINESS COURSE SCHOOL BOARD COMMITTEE'S WORK What is Proposed in the Revision of Studies. The special committee of the Board of Control, which has under consideration the revision of the course of 6tudy in our public schools, will probably be ready to submit its report to the Board at the Feb ruary meeting. It proposes to recommena three courses, classical, scientific and business, the first two to cover a period of four vears.

and the last two or three years. The main purpose of the chansc in the present curriculum is to better fit the graduates of the high school for the different spheres or usetulness they intend to occupy, un der the present course of studies the grad uate does not receive a complete course in anything. There is too much and yet not enoush a smattennsc ot evervthine. A leading feature of the proposed change will be the advantage which the boy who wants to obtain a business eciu cation will have. He will be enabled to study book keeping, stenography, banking and tue general business iorms ana prac tices, so that he will be fitted for almost anv position in the business world when he receives his diploma.

There will be large room in the new Central High school building where it is proposed to set up a bank and give the boys a chance to learn all about banking Firms may be organized among the boys and a regular business transacted. The committee has a great task, and it is giving the matter the serious and careful consideration such an important move deserves. Those who do not desire the business course exclusively will be in a position to take up a mixed course and others may pursue the classical and scientific courses. which will fit them for higher education elsewhere. When the new budding at Forsier and Elder streets is completed the school authorities will be enabled to put execution a number of very excellent ideas which will help to make the schools of Ilarrisburg first class in every particular.

A Sunday School's Anniversary. The Memorial Lutheran Sunday school will hold its anniversary this evening in the new Sunday school room, corner of Fifteenth and Shoop streets, at which time the reports of the various committees and officers will be read and the work of the school reviewed. In addition there will be several addresses by able speakers, and the choir," under the leadership of Mr. John Schilling, will render some excellent music, as well as music by the school. Owing to the school not having a place to assemble for several weeks prior to the anniversary the exercises will not be as elaborate as it otherwise would have been.

However a cordial welcome is extended to all to attend and hear what has been done during the past year. UIs Mother Dead. For some time past Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

New York. Dec. 16. John Blakely, who has a bar room on Broadway opposite the post omce, discharged his two tngush bar maids to day because, he explained. "the gentleman jays" who visited him and then talked to the girls as if they owned them.

How it could have been fastened in a handle and used is a mys tery. All the smaller copper axes are uch as have been found before. Thirty copper plates, with mound builders' cloth on them, overlapped the axes. The average size of the plates was ten by six inches. A great copper eagle, twenty inches in diameter, with wings outspread, beak open, tail and wing feathers neatly stamped upon the copper surface, covered the knees of one of the skeletons.
