ji. CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW It was Opened at Association Hall This Afternoon. Go to the chrysanthemum show in As sociation Hall this evening. It opens at 7 o'clock. If you don't go you will have missed something pretty, and then be sorry for it afterwards, and if you were there this afternoon go again.

Your money will all go to the newly established free Kindergarten on Penn street, you know, and that means it will go where it is going to do lots and lots of good. All morning the ladies in charge or tne affair were busy preparing for the afternoon opening. It was hard work, a great deal of it, too. All the flowers and things had to be transported through a drizzling rain, and were unpleasantly damp when they reached the hall. The scene as one enters the nan is an inviting: one.

To the right is the novelty table in pink, presided over by Mrs. John a. Alcrherson, who is assisted in disposing of a tableful of dainty trifles by Wini fred Mamma, Helen and Ethel Calder, Marv and Elizabeth McPherson'. Betty Evans and Rachel Kunkel and the Misses Brady. In the rear center of the room, directly fronting the stage, is a cut chrysanthemum triangle, draped in green and white, a mass of yellow and white beauties.

Mrs. Tryon Hughes Edwards has charge of it. This afternoon Harry Kelker and Frank Hutchinson played mandolin and guitar selections from a palm screened corner of the platform. The supper and candy tables are side by side. Mrs.

Louis W. Hall, Mrs. M. W. McAlarney and Miss Simons have charge of the former, aided by the Misses Lett and Miss Benjamin.

There is an attractive bill of fare on the Euro pean plan. You can get chicken salad, a sandwich, coffee and Saratoga chips. Miss Grace Hall, with Miss Louise Hickok and Miss Martha McAlarney. dispense caramels next door, and a step toward the left takes you into the association parlors, where you can sit on a musical chair and hear it play "Sweet Marie" for the small sum of five cents or peep through a curtain and gaze at eight brilliant hued human chrysanthemums. The latter is a popular revenue collector.

And there is a grab bag. The tea table, all in yellow, is to the extreme left, Miss McCulloch serving the steaming cups assisted by Miss Dustin. When you get through drinking you take your cup away with you. They are nothing if not generous at the chrysanthemum show. Mrs.

Ellis Lewis Mamma is chairman of the executive committee, and Miss Hall is at the head of the reception committee. This evening Prof. Morrow's banjo club will play. John McAlarney and Benjamin Mumma look after the coat and umbrella checking establishment. MAJOR LE1B SATS HIT STL'S.

What He Says Abont the City and Its Improvements. Major Frank It. Leib has an article in his Ileal Estate Journal this week on "Harrisburg and Its Improvements." Among other things he says: "Compare this city, if you will, with other inland cities as to streets, drainage and water supply, and you will find that we far excel any, to say nothing of the elegant street railway facilities afforded to all parts of the city and suburbs; and the fine railroid center from Harrisburg, you can go to any part of the State, north, south, east and west, and return the same day. There is no better point for traveling men to make their homes than Harrisburg. "As for a manufacturing center it has not its equal in point of location.

But I am sorry to say that whilst it is a fine location to establish industries, the sites for such industries are not so readily procured. What few available sites there are, are in the hands of parties that would not dispose of them, unless at such prices as maKe it impracticaole to purchasers. "The fact of our city being a railroad center is acknowledged by manufacturers. merchants and traveling men. That of itself will not bring industries to this city, in the face of inducements offered by other cities and towns.

What we want to do is to hustle around and find sites and offer inducements equal to any other city. "Are we prepared to show to day a manufacturer a good site available by which they can reach the Pennsylvania and the ueading railroads that can bo had at a price that would justify a manufacturer to purchase and erect works. "Far better invest your wealth in some industry, train up your sons to hustle, even though you do it at some cost; they would then become business men and able to cope with the world. At the same time you give employment to your fellow man. To procure sites and lots of them, if our citizens would form a company with sufficient capital to purchase the entire tract of land between the canal and Cameron street and from Herr street to Rockville or Lucknow, and straighten the Paxton creek and build a railroad the entire length connecting with the Pennsylvania railroad and Reading railroad.

They could then bo able to offer sites. It would not take long to redeem the swamps and make good manufacturing sites. If wo want manufactories we must be willing to do something to induce them to locate here. Therefore, it is important that we hustle." NEXT THURSDAY'S C0NCEBT.

KILLS HIS MAN FITZSIMMONS ARRESTED Riordan Falls Unconscious and Dies on the Stage. Steaousb.

N. Nov. 16. While Bob Fitzsimmons and Con Riordan, his sparring partner, were boxing at Jacobs Opera House in this city to night, Fitzsimmons caught Riordan with a blow on the point of the jaw and the San Francisco pugilist was knocked out. The blow was a light one, but Riordan had been drinking heavily and did not recover consciousness, despite the euorts or two physicians, who gave him hypodermic injections and applied an electric battery.

Riordan breathed as if in pain, and the only evidence of life about him was a twitching of the muscles when the battery was applied. Fitzsimmons and hxs manager, Captain Glori, were greatly alarmed when the true condition of Riordan was made known to them. Fitzsimmons gave orders to spare no expense to save the man's life. Fitzsimmons nimsen was Knocsea down by Joe Dunfee, the local pugilist, who killed Donovan in a fight at Maple Bay about a year ago. Shortly after midnight Fitz3immons was placed under arrest.

Riordan is still unconscious and shows no improvement. Rlordaa Is Dead. Syracuse. N. Nov.

17. Riordan died at 3 :30 this morning from the effects of the blow. There are differences of opinion as to the force of the blow, but it was sufficient. Riordan reeled and fell to his knees, then he lopped over like a dead man. The audience was worked up to a fury of excite ment.

Boys and men stood up in their seats and shouted. Back in the wings the unconscious man lay in his ring costume with two physicians vainly endeavoring to bring him back to consciousness. Riordan remained unconscious despite every effort to revive him. After 3 o'clock he began to sink rapidly. respiration growing fainter with every minute, until nnauy with a lew spasmodic contortions he died.

The physi cians, a few members ot the company and Mrs. Fitzsimmons were present to tne last. About 2:15 o'clock Police Captain Quiggley placed Fitzsimmons under arrest and tcok him to police headquarters. The middle weight champion seemed to expect what was coming. Yank Sullivan was with him and offered to go his bail, which the police would not accept until Riordan's con dition was more certain.

Fitzsimmons stated to a reporter: "Do you suppose I would strike my sparring partner with any force yesterday Knew he had Deen drinking hard, but did not know he was in such a condition. Invariably when I sparred with him he turned blue around the mouth, and it was a sign for me to let up. I never struck him hard. Last night I noticed after the first exchange ot blows that he was not right. The blow I deliv ered that caused the trouble was as light as I could make it, merely slapping him with the back of the hand.

He fell down and then rose and staggered around. I put my arm around him to assist him off the stage, when he fell headlong. I thought he was faking, and was thor oughly disgusted because someDouy in the house thinking it was a iasie, hissed me. I was never hissed before. I began to com prehend a few minutes later that some thing was wrong with my sparring part ner, and I was horrified to discover him still unconscious.

I attributed this to his drunken condition and thought he would recover from the stupor in a tew minutes. I have known this man lor eight years, and he was always a hard drinker. Being in poor condition, I presume he had some heart difflculty that brought on the disaster. I am not fearful of my position Everybody in the opera house was aware that the blows which 1 struck Kiordan were light as I could possibly make them, Naturally it makes my blood run cold when 1 think the condition of my friend, not because I have any fear of the results, but I do not want that man's death laid at my door. I have seen many fighters unconscious, but they never remained out for that length of time." At the bedside at the time of Kiordan death were three physicians and about twenty members of the local sporting fra ternity.

Fitzsimmons when informed of his death was much affected and burst into sobs. The coroner was notified of his death at 3:45. Fitzsimmons has been locked up awaiting the action of the coroner. Keport of the Convention. The State Y.

"They were Cleveland's miserable foreign policy, the hard times and the unpardonable delay of Congress in passing a tariff bill." 'What will the Democrats in the next session of Congress do with the tariff?" Ihey will let the tariff alone except in one particular. The House certainly should and will make a strong effort to abolish the miserable sugar schedule."

DR.MXOSHNOMQRE PASSED AWAY LAST NIGHT Sketch of His Long and Honor able Career.

Pkixokton, Nov. 17. Dr. Mc Cosh died at 10 o'clock last night. His death was peaceful and calm.

The an nouncement was made by the tolling of the college bell. lhe noble life of ex l'resident James McCosh, of Princeton University, is varied and interesting. He was born April 1st, 1810, in Ayrshire, Scotland. His early years were spent on his father's farm. In 1821 he entered the preparatory class at Glasgow University.

In the fall of 1829, Mr. McCosh went to Edinburgh, where he pursued a divinity course for five years. After being in Edinburgh but a short time he rose to the front rank in scholarship and influence among the students. He was interested deeply in the then new science of geology. In 1831 he was licensed to preach, but a member of the Presbytery was appointed to advise him to make his preaching less abstract and more popular.

During his career in the ministry he was instrumental in establishing the Free Church of Scotland. His first book, entitled "Method of Divine Government," was published In 1850. His reputation was at once established as a writer and thinker. In 1852 he was installed as professor of logic and metaphysics at Queen's College at Belfast. Here he devoted himself to research in philosophical fields until 1868 and took an active part in the philosophical battles of the time.

In May, 18G8, he receiAed a dispatbh informing him of his election to the presidency of Princeton College. Ia his reply he said: "I devote myself and my remaining life under God to old Princeton, and the religious and literary interests with which it is identified, and, I fancy, will leave my bones in your graveyard beside the great and good men who are buried there." On the 20th of October of the same year he arrived at New York. He was met on his arrival at Princeton by the students with enthusi astic demonstrations, and throughout his long presidency of twenty years he was deeply beloved and respected by the many students who came and went away after tour years under the healthful influences of the venerable and kindly president. In 1838 Dr. McCosh resigned, owing to infirmity of age, and has lived for the re maining years of his long life in a quirt.

uneventful way at his home on Prospect avenue, the object of love and veneration of the college to which he has devoted so much of his life of activity and use full ness. Mis management impelled the re spect of the friends oi the university, and during his presidency nearly $3,000,000 flowed to the treasury in the form of of ferings and bequests. Me started the fund to aid needy students, and steadily the army of pupils was augmented until the accommodations ot tne old college were entirely inadequate. Then came the array of buildings which sprang up during bis time, among which may be mentioned Ualstead observatory, 1869; the gym nasium, 1S69; Keunion Hall. 1870; the library, 1873; the School of University Mall.

275. SAMUEL INGRAM A TRIBUTE TO HIS MEMORY Read by Prof. L. H. Gause at the Teachers' Institute.

The following paper on one of Harris burg's first and best educators waB read by Prof. L. H. Gause at the session of the Teachers' Institute on Friday morning: I folly concur in the sentiment expressed by our worthy county superintendent, that a tribute of respect should be paid to the memory of Samuel D. Ingram by the county Institute of Dauphin county.

I only regret that the duty of preparing such a memorial paper had not ailen on one more capable of doing it justice, but I will say, no one is more willing than myself to place a garland upon the tomb of one so worthy as my friend.Mr. Ingram. Indeed, it is with mingled feelings of sadness and pleasure I undertake the task assigned me by our worthy superintendents. To prepare a memorial of the departed is ever a mournful task, but to prepare a memorial of an old friend, whom you have known in youth and old age, brings up events of the past which are fondly enshrined in memory, and which, are sorrowful because they never can return. I can say of Mr.

Ingram what Colonel McClure said of Governor Curtin, his death makes me feel lonely. He and I more than half a century ago were fellow teachers in Harrisburg when it was only a borough. He taught the boys' High School of the North ward and I taught the boys' High School of the South ward (there were but two wards). Indeed it was through him that I became a resident of this town. Mr.

Ingram was born at Centreville, Chester county, the 9th of November, 1817. He died the 30th of June, 1894, nearly 77 years old, exceeding the Psalmist's three score and ten by nearly seven ears. Mr. Ingram's father was Dr. John ngram, who died when his son was six years old.

His father's sister, Ann Ingram, married Jonathan Gause, then a prominent teacher of Chester county, and who taught for many years the West Chester Academy and who afterwards conducted a large and popular boarding school at Unionville, Chester county. I might add in reference to Mr. Gause, even at the risk of being charged with family pride, as he was my uncle, there never was a teacher in Chester county so fondly remembered and so much respected even at ihis day by many prominent citizens as Jonathan Gause, Mr. Ingram was trained in the home of this aunt and uncle and educated in Mr. Gause'B school.

Even at the early age of 17 he engaged in teaching a country school at Ladsbury, Chester county, and in 1837, when but 20 years of age, came to Harrisburg and was elected teacher of the Boys' High School, North ward. There were three grades of school at that time; the second grade was taught by Joseph Allison, afterwards Judge Allison, of Philadelphia; the third grade by Mr. William Mitchell. Mr. Ingram taught this school for seven years and was eminently successful, as is proved by the testimony of some of our most influential citizens who received much of their education under Mm.

For a sample, when Dr. Charles Bom baugh published his excellent book called "Gleanings for the Curious," he sent Mr. a copy with the following written on the flyleaf: "To the best of teachers, Samuel O. Ingram, from his former pupil, Charles C. Bombaugh." In 1844 Mr.

Ingram took charge of the girls' high school in the North ward and continued in charge of this school for many years. It was during this period that I became so intimately acquainted with him, and a friendship was formed that never was broken. They say poets are born. It is equally true of teachers; training and education may enlarge their capabilities, but the true teacher must be born born with a teacher's intentions, tact and iudement. On this point I beg leave to quote from an editorial in the iiarrisDurg xblegbath, of Julv 2d.

on the death of Mr. Ingram. "Mr. Ingram was an enthusiast in his profession. Stimulated in his duties as teacher by the same high sense which nerved him in his advanced office, and assisted by a natural faculty for teaching, he was unusually successful in progressing those under his care, and his sympathy with the pupils in the difficulties which lie in the pathway ot knowledge, won the i esteem of those in ms cnarge, wnicn is expressed in the universal regret over his demise.

It was not an unusual occurrence for old pupils who had moved to distant points to make it their pleasure when in his neighborhood, to call on him to express their love and esteem, based on their appreciation of his kindness to them and his efforts for them in the days of their moulding." Mr. Ingram was not only a born teacher, he had also the scientist's love for knowledge and the philosopher's devotion to nature. I know whereof I speak. He and I studied botany together and gathered specimens of plants from the hills and valleys of Dauphin and Cumberland counties. However fatigued with school duties, he was never too tired to go botanizing.

I well remember with what ecstatic delight the discovery of a new plant filled him. On one occasion, while he and I were going through the woods in Cumberland county, he found a rare flower, one that he had read of but never seen, he dropped on his knees and surrounded it with his arms as though he would embrace it. In 1854, when the law was passed providing for the election of county superintendents of the public schools, Mr. Ingram was elected the first superintendent of Dauphin county of course, there was no city superintendent then, and Mr. Ingram had the superintendence of all the schools in Dauphin county.

He was retained in this office four terms, or tweive consecutive years. Ho was succeeded by Mr. La Ross in 186G, but was again elected in 1872, and served until June 1st, 1875, making in all fifteen years. Although but poorly paid and obliged to eke out his meager salary of $300 per annum by teaching his school in Harrisburg, the amount of labor he performed was truly wonderful. At this day, when the public schools have attained an enduring and deserved popularity, we can form but a feeble conception of the indifference, nay, often open hostility, manifested to the "free school system" at that time.

Mr. Ingram, as the first superintendent in our county, struggled for years to create a public sentiment favorable to a better system of education. He performed every duty with untiring zeal and energy. He visited the schools in the different districts, urged the directors to visit them with him, examined teachers, not only at fixed periods, but privately, nights and mornings. Here he encountered great difficulties, many of the teachers were unfit for the work.

Many of them would tell him candidly, I am not scholarly enough to teach, I have not looked at a book in a long time, but the directors want me to take their school. Competent teachers were not then to be had. Our Normal schools had not been instituted, and the superintendent as well as the directors were obliged to select the best that were offered. Mr. when granting certificates, always urged upon the applicants the necessity of a more thorough preparation for their work.

His influence in this direction was very great. He encouraged competent young men and women to make teaching a life business a profession and many were thus induced to make it a life business. In every report to the State Superintendent he urged upon the directors and people to give greater attention to the education of our youth. In his report of October, 18 56, he quotes the following beautiful sentiment: "When, Oh, when will the chrysalis be broken that seems to bind the mind of the sons of Penn and wake their souls to action and vigor for the good of posterity May the glad tidings pon go forth that the Keystone State is redeemed from her lethargy. May her valleys take up the joyful sound and bear it to the hills and the hills echo it to the mountains and the mountains give it to the breezes to bear it onward through the world." Mr.

Ingram, after years of earnest work and inadequate compensation, had the satisfaction of seeing a great advance in public sentiment. The people and directors took greater interest in the cause, his salary was increased and teachers received better pay and camo better prepared to do a a justice to their noble calling and what calling can be more noble than that of training the immortal mind He advocated the organization of teachers for the purpose of advancing the cause of education. He contended also that Normal schools for the better preparation of teachers, should be established by our State. In November, 1855, the first county institute was organized in Harjisburg, and since that time its sessions have been held annually. District institutes were also organized about the same time and still continue their sessions.

In 1857 the law was passed making provisions for the establishment of normal schools which have been so successful in fitting young men and women for their great work. Mr. I. was a member of the State and National Associations of Teachers, and in 1864 was president of the annual meeting of the former, which met at Altoona. Mr.

I. was not only an educator, he was also an influential citizen at one time a member of our City Council and for years member of the Board of Control. He was promment in many or me numane and social organizations of the city and a consistent member of the Presbyterian church. Always a good citizen and a lover of this country, Mr. I.

cared little or nothing for empty fame. His ambition was to do good, to benefit his ieuows ana make the world better for his living. We sincerely believe that June 30th witnessed his ascension to a higher ana pewer spnere, that he was welcomed by the happy plaudit, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over few things, I will make tnee ruier over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." GRIDIEONGOSSIP. Rain made touch downs in all of today's games.

17. The chairman of the Armenian Patriotic Association, G. Hagopian, has sent the following letter, received from an Armenian, whose name is not given, because it would jeopardize his life, to the Earl of Kimberlev. the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs: "Ane so called re Demon or the Armenians in 1893 was a eot up affair for the re pression of which the Chief Magnate got a uecorauon. hub year tne Kurds carried off Armenian oxen, and the Armenians' appeal for their restoration waa refused.

A fight ensued, two Kmds were killed and three were wounded. The Kurds imme diately carried their trouble before the Governor, declaring that the Armenian soldiers had overrun the land, killing and plundering the Kurds. This furnished a pretext for massing the troops from far and near. The troops were commanded by a Pasha and a marshal and were hurried to the district. 'No compassion was shown to age or sex even by the regular soldiery, not even when the victims fell suppliant at their feet.

Six to ten thousand persons met such fate as even the darkest ages of darkened Africa hardly witness, for there women and tender babes might at least have had a chance of a life of slavery, wruie nere womanhood and innocencv were but a mockery before the cruel lost that ended its debauch by stabbing women to death with the bayonet, while tender Daoes were impaled with the same weapon on their dead mothers' breasts, or, perhaps, seized by the hair to have their heads lopped off with the sword. 'in one place three or four hundred women, after being forced to serve vile purposes by the merciless soldiery, were hacked to pieces bv sword and bavonet in the valley below. In another place some two hundred weeping and wailing women Degeeo tor compassion, falling at the com mander's feet, but the blood thirsty wretch, after ordering their violation, di rected his soldiers to dispatch them in a simitar way. in another place some sixty young brides and the more attractive girls were ciowaea into a enure and after violation were slaughtered, and human gore was seen flowing from the church door. 'At another place stilL a laree comnanv under the leadership of their priest, fell down before them begging for compassion and averring mat tney had nothing to do with the culprits.

But all to no purposa, All were called to another place, and the proposal was made to several of the more attractive women to change their faith, in wnicn case tneir lives were to be snared. They said: Why should we deny Christ? We are no more than pointing to the mangled forms of their husbands and brothers, and they did so. A great effort waa made to save one beauty, but three or four quarrelled over her, and she sank down like her sisters. 'But Why prolong the sickeninsr tale There must be a God in heaven who. will do nght in all these matters, or some of us would lose faith.

Another letter savs that some of the regular soldiers themselves admit that they killed one hundred persons each in a fiendish manner, and that rape was followed by the bayonet. Twenty or thirty Armenian villages, it would seem, have been wholly destroyed, and some persons were burned death with kerosene in their own houses. GBEAT COKE OUTPUT. The Production In Four Months Wm More than Doubled. Connellsviixb.

Nov. 17. The coke production and output has more than doubled ia the past four months, and the indications are that the year's output will exceed that of 1893 nearly half a million tuns, in spue ox tne paralytic errect ot a six months' strike. The September trade was big.yet the output for October is 65.009 tons greater. At this rate, the year's out I put will run to 5,500,000 tons.
