HAKRISBUKO, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8, 1898. IiXI. NO. 7. ESTABLISH KD 183L.

LAST EDITM. FOR CHARITY'S SWEET SAKE A KINDLY LETTER IS THIS ONE A Few Remarks on Making. Good Road A kind hearted Harrisburg lady writes Gossip the following letter: Hahkisbtjrg, Jan. 7, 1892. Dear Gossip.

I read in last night's Telegraph of an aged, delicate looking woman who applied for aid to "the poor directors and my sympathy has gone out to people who are, perhaps, very greatly in need, while many of us are living in comfort never thinking of the help we might extend to others. myself, am poor, yet I have a little to spare. I have some cast off clothing hanging in the closets which might help to make some one warm it might shield some aged woman from the cold, cutting blasts of winter. I would like you to tell me through your columns where I can take it that it will he given to some one who is in need of it. We used te have a Quick Charity Fund, but that was in days gone by.

Many women, no doubt, like myself, have clothing that they do not need. It hangs around, because it is most too good for a rag man, yet they don't know what to do with it, there it hangs, year after year, while umv noor souls would be jrlad to have it. If will state in your paper where one may lake such articles I think many women would open their closets and hunt out something they can spare to clothe those who are in need. The knowledge alone of an aged woman applying for aid makes my heart ache. Somebody's mother cold aad hungry Again I ask where can I dispose of a few things I have to spare that they will be given to some one who needs them more than Gossip would suggest that, even though there be no Quick Charity Fund under the Mayor's direction, the writer of the above letter inquire at the Mayor's office, where articles such as she has to give away are needed.

The police officers very often come across cases of destitution that need quick relief, and they are better informed than any other class. The question of how to make a good country road is an old yet ever new one. It is a fact that Pennsylvania roads are notoriously bad, partly because of the pernicious system which permits road taxes to be "worked out and partly because of the lack of knowledge on the part of road supervisors, hardly any of whom know how to make a good road bed or even keep it in repair. A correspondent of the Warren Mail gives the views on road making of Civil Engineer Fuellliart, of Tidioutc, who has had great success in making roads. Mr.

Fuellhartsiys: "The leading point which should never be lost sight of in road making is to keep the water out of the road. You must do this to have a good road. The travel does not hurt the road if you keep the water out of the way. It is always the water that does the, mischief. I try to make people understand this, but some of them seem dull of comprehension.

I ut it to them in various ways, to try to mpress them with the importance of getting rid of the water. I tell them there are three principles to be constantly observed in road making. First, ditching. Second, good ditchiug. Third, adequate ditching.

You may be surprised at Hie importance I attach to this point, but I tell you it is the leading point in the case. Place the earth taken from the ditches, less the sods and muck, in the center of the 'road, so arranged as to make an even slope from the center of the road to the ditch on either side, and when heavy rains fall the water will run off the road both ways almost as quickly as it would from the roof of a house. Your road bed will not be soaked soft by standing water, consequently wil 1 not be rutted much by travel, and by proper attention to keeping ruts filled with broken stone, gravel, or even hard earth euch as is often found in the bottom of ditolies, the road can be kept smooth and hard at a moderate expense." Mr. Fcellhart's good advice should be heeded and acted upon by the road makers and road patchers of Dauphin county. There are some pretty bad roads in this county, where the mud is knee deep at some times in the year and the dust a foot deep at others.

This is all owing to imperfect drainage and ditching, the perfection of which would seem to be the secret of good road making. Suppose they give it a trial. He never won immortal fame Nor conquered earthly ills, Yst men weep for turn, all the same. lie always paia ms oius." Tariff Pictures. It is no wonder tliat free trade organs like the "Times," that clamorously prophesied that the McKinley law would prevent us from selling: to other nations, are astonished.

Now good night Round earn hUl, aud tower, and tree. Darkness deep her mantle closes. While aU nature calm reposes Darkness brings no rest to me. Now good night, love, now good night.

AT THE TRAPS. What Forest and Stream Has to Say of the Tournament. C. H.

Townsend, trap editor of the Forest and Stream, attended the winter tournament of the Harrisburg Shooting Association last week at Island Park and contributes an interesting illustrated article to his paper this week. Instantaneous Dhotonraohs of Brewer and Fulford in the act of shooting are given and there are also good engravings of J. S. Dustin and Secretary Worden, of the Harrisburg association. We make a few extracts from his article: "There is one thing anent Harrisburg that will interest that is the number of hotels, which appear on nearly every block.

Some of the hotels arefirst class in every respect, but the majority are medium grade, both in price and quality of service. When it comes to "tacking on" for extras they are well posted to a degree, and in this I am inclined to think there is but little difference in hotel met hods the world over. "From be toll bridge, which it is necessary to cross in order to ieach the island from Harrisburg, the view up the river on a clear day is a beautiful one, the river being dotted "with small islands, covered even at this season with green, and in the distance the mountain peaks standing out in bold relief against the blue background of sky. The shoot ended with a score of 96 kills for Fulford, 91 for kills Brewer, the Harrisburg man having succeeded for the fourth time in defeating the champion of the world, and that by a score that would 'win 99 per cent, of the matches shot any wheie or against anyone, and yet there are men who affirm that. Brewer can beat any man in the world, and that he is 3 per cent, better than Fulford.

In this match Brewer was in form, and some of his kills were as fine as any he has ever made. Fulford in the early part of the match was a trifle off and made several slobbering kills both with his first and second barrels; alter 20 rounds, however, he settled down and his work was of the best. As to the birds, they were what I would call a good lot of match pigeons, not by any means to be compared with the lot used at Woodlawn as that kind are seen but once in a lifetime but as good a 1'Jt as is run across in a long travel. The luck of the birds throughout the entire race was in favor of Brewer, Fulford certainly getting the hardest ones, although Jack's were hard enough to keep him guessing. "The treatment the two men received from the big crowd was first class, although early in the race the party seemed to think that Fulford was the only man entitled to applause.

It was not long. however, before, they began to realize that Brewer was doing work that was worthy of notice, and thereafter a good shot by cither man received its lull snare or applause." OUR AMATEURS DO WELL In the Presentation of the Opera Mikado liast Temug. It was not one of the largtst audiences of the season that greeted our local amateurs upon the rising of the curtain for the first act of Mikado at the Opera House last evening, but those who did attend were well repaid for doing so by witnessing a really meritorous presentation enhanced greatly by beautiful costumes made to order and very pretty stage effects. Then, too, the instrumental portion of the music by Mr. William Lott, piauist, and the Metronome Orchestra aided the singers very materially.

In speaking of the singing, too much praise cannot be accorded the various solos, duets, trios, quartettes, male and female choruses and full choruses. It was as good as that of any professional company ever presenting the above beautiful opera in Harrisburg. While there were a few trifling errors scattered through both acts, the rendition of the difficult speaking lines, gestures and poses were all worthy of commendation, and it is pretty certain the same opera will be presented again this evening without a single skip, as those who made their first appearance before the footlights will have conquered their stage fright and be perfectly at ease.

OBITUARY. Mrs. Sarah Ann Fleming. The death of Mrs. Sarah Ann Fieraing occurred this morning at the residence of her son, S.

W. Fleming, 104 South street. She was born January 30th, 1S14, at York Haven, York county, and married at McConnellsville, Morgan county, Ohio, June 5th, 1845. A life long and devoted friend, Sirs Ingram, writes the following beautiful tribute: "The death of Mrs. Fleming does not surprise the community, tor sne naa oDg been a patient sufferer from that tning disease, consumption, but her departure grieves the hearts of her many friends, for her removal takes lrom us one oi our most excellent and faithful women.

The daughter of Christian parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles foor, she was early taugni her duty to God and kind heartedness for her neighbor, and earnestly she endea vored to fulfill these responsibilities. She united with the Presbyterian church of this city immediately after her marriage in 1845 to Mr. R.

J. Fleming (the eldest brother of Dr. James Fleming and David Fleming, all of whom are now deceased) who at that time was conductor of the choir and afterward for many years a faithful and beloved elder of the Market Square church. Since that time Mrs. Fleming has been prominently identified with all of the benevolent organizations of the city.

Her interest in the colored people, for their temporal and spiritual welfare, was manifested by her constant attendance at their Sabbath school, of which her husband was the honored superintendent until bis death. and in which she as a most successful teatber until her health failed, when she regretfully relinguished her class; yet her love of the work and her desire for the improvement of the race continued through life. Her sympathy for the suc cess ox missions in our own and foreign lands was evidence by her prayers and her gifts which were constantly and cheerfully given. Nor was she less interested in the cause of temperance, believing that intemperance is destroying the happiness of unnumbered homes. It was her pleas ure to attend the woman's weekly prayer meeting, and unhesitatingly she asserted that its influence had been beneficial and added to her spiritual growth, and when absent from the city or prevented from attending, as the hour of meeting ap proached her heart turned to tne little gathering and she yearned to be there.

She enjoyed social, cheerful friendship and participated in tne hospitality ot mends, to whom her presence was always welcome. Her home was one of plenty, but her frequent mission was to relieve th3 sorrowing and cheer the'lonely by telling or the love of Jesus and imploring ma blessing to rest upon them. She solicited and received aid for the suffering, and with her own eifts and her own hands often supplied the wants of the needy. To Mr. and Mrs.

Fleming were given three children. Two daughters died in early childhood. Mr. Samuel W. Flem ing, with whom she made her home, sur vives his mother, who is now at rest, leaving to her friends the happy remembrance of her love and virtues.

They are gathering fast on the other ilde. The friends we have loved of yore They have launched their bark on the shadowy tide, And entered the shining shore. From the church below to the church above. They are passing (a g'orious band). And the Father welcomes them in His love.

To the Joys of the heavenly land." The Advocate" "Agin It." The Steelton Advocate thinks that Front street from Iron avenue to Sycamore street should not be vacated by the citv. but on the other hand should be opened its entire length and extended through Cameron's field by way of Cedar and Second streets to Steelton, connecting with Main street on the west side of that town. This would make a level and easy road and a route covering about the same distance to Market square, this city, as over the turnpike. The opening of this street would give a fine driveway all the way from Steelton to Rockville. lie Will Decline.

It is understood that Rev. George B. Stewart will decline the preMdency of the Pennsylvania Chautauqua, to which he was elected at Lebanon on Wednesday, not because he does not appreciate the honor conferred upon him, but simply on account of a pressure of other work in connection with his duties as pastor of Market Square Presbyterian church.

TALEOr ON THE STAND. Ono oTtlio ItiiUImnre'M Seamen Tent I lies UohmivUiik llio Chilian Aisault. Vai.i.kjo, Jan. 7. Investigation into the assault on the Baltimore's sailors in Valparaiso began this morning at Marc Island in the presence of Judge Advocate General Hcnwy, United States District Attorney Gartir and United Stati Commissioner J.

S. I lan ley. Remey conducted the investigation. John W. Talbot, apprentice on the Baltimore, was tlie first witness.

He was one of the liln rty pat ty on September ICtlu He Mated' that C. W. Riggin, the boat swaiu's mate, one of the killed, was with him during the utUrnoon. Alxtut 3 o'clock they went together into a saloon called the iSliakespea re," in the southern part of the town. The oroprietor ordered them out, declaring Intra mob of disbanded sailors and soldiers were preparing to attack the Baltimore's men, and he diil not want any trouble in his place.

Riggin and Talbot laughed at the. warning, but left the and went to the True Blue saloon. Talbot continued: "About 4 o'clock, coming out, I 6aw Riggin being threatened by Chilian sailors in man of war uniform. I ran across and tried to separate them. One of the Chilians spat in my face and I knocked him down.

Instantly a crowd of over 100 people appeared on the 6treet and we started oa a run, but soon jumped on a passing car. "The mob followed and stopped the car, and we were instantly surrounded by the mob. I saw Riggin tall, and tried to reach him, but was stabbed in the back, and turned to run. After going a few blocks, I turned into a doorway and was again stabbed in the back. I got in however and got into a corner, and defended myself with a chair.

The mob followed me and a Chilian sailor in man of war uniform stabbed me again. "The bartender finally put them out and barricaded the door. The mob clamored outside for admittance, and after an hour a policeman arrested me and took me to jail, lie disguised me by substituting a hat for my sailor's cap with the word on it, so that they would not notice that I was an American sailor. "The officer turned me over to two other policemen, who struck me several times, although I was making no resistance. 1 had no arms of any and was perfectly sober.

After a short time I was si nt to a spital with Hamilton, Painter and Davidson, all badly hurt. We were kept there four days and were then sent to the ship, where 1 was in the hospital forty live days. None except American sailors were attacked by the mob." This ended Talbot's examination, and the commission took a recess. Xiottery Men Arrested. New Orleans, Jan.
