HABBXSBtm. FBI DAT EVEHIHG, SEPTEMBER 6 1S95. Established 1831. Last BISOII BILL'S FROST PLATS BEFORE THE QUEEN The Audience Was Small, But It Paid. Tiikek are only three great advance press agent jollyers in this country.

They are all 'with Barnum and Buffalo Bill. OoL George Starr, Frank Perley and Charlie Btowe are one and Major John M. Burke is the other two. The Major is in the city to day arranging for the appearance of Buffalo Bill next Wednesday. It is related of Major Burke that when the "Bill" show we call it a "Bill" show to distinguish it from the Uncle Tom's cabin shows, which are called "Tom" showB was in London, he arranged with the gentleman who sees that Queen Victoria is amused to have the good Queen see the wild Indians, and the shooting, and all that sort of thing, not forgetting the great star, Buffalo Bill, himself.

When the Queen reached the show orders were given that nobody but the royal family and friends should be permitted inside of the tent, which held 25,000. This was not known to Mr. Cody, and when the band gave a grand burst of three ply mu3ic and Buffalo Bill pranced out on his eteed and whirled him around in front of the royal family, hia heart sank within him. "This is a fine note, said William. 'I thought Burke got the Queen here to draw a big audience and there isn't more than three thousand people in the show.

Hard luck," he said under his breath. But he went on with the performance and the hundred and one artleta are said to have given the best performance they were capable of giving, all of which was to their credit. Mr. Cody said nothing to the Major about the slim audience because he did not want to hurt his feelings. 'I guess the Major feels pretty badly about it as it is," said "Bill" to a friend, "for it was certainly a frost." A few days afterwards the Major with a jaunty air, approached Messrs.

Cody and Salsbury, the proprietors of the how, and handed them a large sum of money in Bank of England notes. "What IS" this?" asked Mr. Cody. "That," said the Major, "ifl what the Qaeen pays when she goes to the show all by herself." It was a sum sufficient to pay all the expenses of the performance and leave a handsome margin or profit. In fact it was as much as would have been taken in at one performance if the doors had been open to the public The Qaeen bad simply bought the show for one "Bay, Nate," said Col.

Cody to Mr. Sals bury, his partner, that same day, "Burke knows hi3 business, but I mUBt confess I had chillB for a few minutes when I saw that audience." "It is a good time," Baid the man, "for this city to be looking around for the purpose of procuring plots of ground for park purposes. There is but one para in mis city, and that is the Capitol Park, but you cant, call it a public park in the strict sense of the term. If we do not get the ground for parks now the time will come when we will have to tear down buildings to get room for breathing spots, and that would be pretty costly. The people of eastern and western parts of the city will demand parks after awhile, and the city authorities will have to heed the demand.

There are several, nice plots of ground in the city that can now bo had cheaply, and if they are not secured now the price will go up to a big figure, and then it will be difficult to get it There ought to be a park along the river front above Maclay, and one oh Allison's Hill, where there is now vacant land. It would be the part of wisdom to buy them now. In Allegheny city the authorities let the question of parks go by, and when they came to consider it, they found that they would have to purchase whole square of houses and tear them down if they wanted to get parks. They bought the houses them down, and now they nave aa pretty parks as one would wish to see. Harrisburg should not let the ground get away from it now when it can be bought bo cheaply." Gossrp sees for sale on the streets of the city half rotted fruit at a low price.

It is not fit for food at any price, and the people who buy it and eat it are running a fearful risk. There ought to be an ordinance forbidding the sale of such fruit and there may be such an ordinance in existence. If bo; it ought to be enforced. In the larger cities the men who sell this kind of fruit are raided and the fruit confiscated and destroyed. That is what should be done here.

A meeting of the Executive Committee the Atlanta Exposition Commission was held at the Capitol this afternoon. It has been decided to roll two Southern demonstrations by Pennsylvania into one. The engagement the Governor and his staff to attend the dedication of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park on the 19th and 20th of this month has been cancelled owing to the unfinished condition of the Pennsylvania monuments and it is proposed to have the Park Commission designate some day later as Pennsylvania Day, on which occasion the veterans of the State and officials will ba present. The plan ia to hurry the contractors so that the celebration at the park may precede Pennsylvania Day at the Atlanta Exposition one day, thus giving the Pennsylvania visitors an opportunity to attend both demonstrations. It is the purpose of the gentleman charge of the arrangements to have special trains carry the Pennsylvania visitors to the Chickamauga Park on the 13 th of November, and to the Atlanta Exposition the same week, making the dual affair a success and giving the Pennsylvaniana a pleasant trip.

ia a i 1 PROBING HOT OVER, CHAIRMAN HO0FES AROUSED That Wrigglinc Water Snake Still an Issue in Councils. Common Councilman Hoopes, chair man of the committee charged with the investigation of the alleged bribery in connection with the attempted passage of the Cumberland water company ordinance, indignant over the way in which the committoo's report was treated by the body which authorized the investigation. He regards tho placing of the report on file "for future reference" as a slap at the committee that was unwarranted aud un fair in view of the hard woik of the gentlemen composing the committee. He said: "Nobody except those who have a knowledge of what the committee has actually done can have any conception of tho embarrassments which we have met in an honest effort to discover the truth or falsity of these allegations. Nothing has been left undone by the committee to ferret out the real facts in the caeo and lay them before Council, but at every turn we have encountered obstructions that were not easy to overcome.

Bat when the report waa presented it should have been given fair consideration." Mr. Hoopes intimated pretty plainly that he was not yet done with the water snake. He has been offered financial as sistance by responsible citizens to carry the case to court and he is disposed to become prosecutor in order that truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth may be spread before the citizens and taxpayers of Harrisburg. He thinks the committee has brought to light sufficient to justify him or any citizen making charges that the court would recognize as serious enough to warrant a trial of tho accused. It was also reported to day that the German American Union, of Harrisburg, which is organized partially for the correction of.

municipal evils, will take a hand in probing this councilmanic scandal to the bottom. There ia a bslief that the last of this buainc3s has not been heard. Members of the investigating committee complain that they are being made to sut ler lor tne part they took in the matter. They say those who Wc.re friendly to the defeated ordinance aro placing thorns in the Councilmanic pathway of the committee and venting their spleen in opposing measures in which they are interested. JUST HAPPENED TO SEE 'EM.

An Incident or Two That May Prove interesting. The jail rats aro becoming badder and bolder every day. Of late they have ap propriated the east yard in the early hours of the morning for a playground where they play tag, and if they had balls and racquets might play tennis. This morn ing there were about fifty of them having giddy time together. One old soldier was bold enough to scale the attenuated peach trco in the yard and roost on a limb for a good five minutes taking in a grand stand view.

Some interested spectators fed the rat aggregation cheese from the window of the Poor Directors' office. It was a chicken with warts on its wattles and a pair of molheaten wings. Most chickens would have boon disgusted with this Btart life. This ono waBn t. It had been deeded by its mamma hen to a farmer with sunset tingca in his whiskers, who waa peddling poultry at State and Spruce BtroetB this morning.

The farmer was about acknowledging a quit claim to tho fowl in favor or an elderly lady with glasses, when he incautiously loosened the string that hid con fined tho chicken's Trilbies. It took about a second for the biped to make a flying leap from tho wagon onto the sidewalk. Bat it misconstrued its ability to do a parabola, and landed square in the face of a passerby who closed upon its flappery with both bands though some what astonished. Chicken went for the usual rate per pound. Port Royal Burglars Sal toil.

Owen McCabe, alias Edward Parker, who with Joseph West and rank Lvans, was arrested last April for breaking open the safe in Uertzler store in Port Koyal.

Qaay was a truo friend. He has also said that ho is an industrious Senator, gentle in hia ways, conaiderate of othars. even tho Senate pages, and that ho was a man fond of reading.
