The scene on the east side streets at the east end of the city must have been more remarkable than that at the park Judging from the reports of the people who witnessed them.

The only notice the people had of the "Birdman presence in that section was the noise of his engine but it was enough to bring them from their homes and cause a rush for the hills.

A significant commentary upon the methods the secretaries may be found In their action in connection with the recent declaration of the referee board that saccharine is a poison and that its use as a substitute for sugar in soda water or any other article consumed by human be ings, should not he allowed. In accordance with this statement by the board an order was issued forbidding the use of eaccharihe' after the 1st Of July.

But the bu6iness interests that have been using this injurious I article protested so forcibly that the order was modified and they were given another year in -which to make other arrangements. It will be perceived that those-who adulterate the food and drink of.the, people still have considerable in-' fluence with public servants. They have so much influence that their convenience seems to he considered as of far more consequence than the health of the rank and file. For they have succeeded in Inducing those having to do with the enforcement of the food and drugs act to Issllfi an nrdAr allowlne- vinln. tiong of law until July 1, 1912.

Until that time manufacturers of commodities containing saccharine may continue to endanger the health of their customers, because business interests imust be protected.

Much of the work that will fall to these gentlemen has been done, since the Scout movement has been organ ized here, by Major A. V. Wester, who has done an immense lot of work to make the society a success, and deserves great credit for what he has accomplished. It is expected that as soon as the council and officials are named, the movement will go forward here with a rush.

Print Shop Under New Owner. B.

F. Barr, of 1908 Pine avenue, has resigned from his position as mail carrier and has purchased the job printing establishment of Joseph Kinsel at 804 Chestnut avenue. Mr. Barr, who is well known as a sergeant of company N. G.

has two brothers on the mail carrier force. He, however, concluded that he would rather embark In the business world. To Undergo an Operation. Mrs. Barbara White, iof 611 East Blair street, Hollidaysbdrg, was ad mitted to' the Mercy hospital last evening.

She will undergo an operation there today. upon the alleged tear that the ar rangement will work injuriously to the Interests of the fanners. But the president reassures the people by the remark that the agreement may be rescinded the moment it Is found to work badly. The opponents' of reciprocity are In a decided minority in the Canadian parliament also. But they are very much more belligerent and vicious than our senatorial minority.

And the Dominion parliament seems to carry the prlncipleof parliamentary going' even farther than the American senate. Some weeks previous" to the" coronation the premier. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, expressed 'the conviction that he would 'be obliged to remain on this side, but an agreement was entered Into to postpone the discussion on reciprocity until later in the year. Now we hear from Canada that it may the necessary to dissolve, parlia ment' and appeal to the country. In that case Canadian ratification will be delayed some weeks.

EDITORIAL NOTES. And so the open car Is to become a thing of the past Prompt payment of taxes is a' duty many citizens are performing. Pennsylvania's highway department promises to be a formidable thing in the not distant future. so-called progressives in the United States senate are making a fine exhibition of themselves. Pennsylvania apples have a much finer taste than most of the good looking fruit from the Pacific coast.

Picnics are in full swing now and with cooler weather they will be as enjoyable as in former years. The statesman survives the most virulent attacks of his foes. He grows while they are forgotten. The recent fire on the east side of the city is another admonition to carefulness. One cannot well afford to be forgetful.

It seldom profits a candidate for place to go about the country abusing his fellow citizens. It usually does him considerable harm. One wonder why some second rate stories are so greatly overpraised by the professional critics. Very good men often see in a very poor story an exhibition of wonderful power and tenius. A heated discussion by the Altoo-na school board over the heating system, just at the close the superheated term, seems to be entirely in order, Especially when it ends quite harmoniously.

Friends from a distance keep up their lively Interest in Altoona and their sympathy extends to its poor. The Tribune received contributions to its rent fund from West Virginia and North Carolina. The citizens who are vitally interested In the frugal administration of the city and county governments should see to it that they place the offices in the hands of men who perform much and talk little. Our 'public servants would be singular beings if they were always of one mind. It is inevitable that men should differ concerning problem of the day.

So long as it is honest conviction that cause the difference nobody has any right to complain. Realism of the nasty sort may be true enough, but it is not worth while in fiction It accomplishes no good and very frequently reproduces in (roung persons the vices it describes. Better stick to romance if it be clean and pure, the teacher of a good moral. 1 The best thing to do about the menacing and bothersome fly is to take steps to prevent its birth. This may be done by cleanliness upon the part of the municipality and its people.

Other towns have practically exterminated this troublesqme Insect by taking pains. What one has done others may do If they will set themselves about it in the right way. It is very difficult for men who have persistently abused Senator Penrose ever since his entrance upon public life to concede that he has triumphed over the machinations of his enemies and won the confidence of a constantly increasing number of his constituents. His resourceful and patient management of the fight for reciprocity shows what manner of jeciproclty shows what maner of man The superior court did a very Just thing when it ruled that a legally qualified citizen cannot be deprived of his right to cast his ballot at an election, even though a repeater has previously personated him and cast a ballot in his name. To prevent an innocent citizen, from exercising the privilege of the ballot upon the ground that his name had been already voted on would be to add outrage to InsulU- 4 The opening and formal dedication of Highland park will be one of the most interesting events in the life of this growing city.

The park commission has had a very meagre sum with which to carry forward its work but it has done remarkably well. The new park should become a favorite resort for the people of the city and may be the Incentive for the creation of others. Certainly something ought to be done to Increase our breathing placet It is Not to be Permitted to Pass by Unnoticed. A FESTIVAL TO BE HELD This on the Lawn by East Side Sunshine Society on Evening: July 25. The first anniversary of the Mercy hospital, Altoona's new institution of mercy, that has lived up in every way to its name, will not be let pass by unnoted.

At a meeting of the hospital committee of the East Side Sunshine society, held on the lawn of the Mercy, Eighth avenue i and Twenty-sixth street, last evening, it was decided to hold a big festival on tne lawn of the institution on the evening of July 25, to mark the first anniversary of the hospital. When it is taken into considera tion that the date of the festival falls at such an appropriate time as the anniversary and that the nublicJ oi Altoona, Judging from sentiments expressed everywhere, seems to be aching for a chance to aid the Insti tution, since it has been refused a state appropriation, the Sunshiners naturally expect to entertain the biggest crowd that has ever attended a festival in the city. The East Side Sunshine society is the ladies' auxiliary to the Mercy hospital and it is in this capacity that the ladies are arranging for the big social. As the ladies' auxiliary of the institution the Sunshiners have taken upon themselves the work of furnishing linens, for the hospital. They hava funds enough to see them through this work for present and will, therefore, not turn the proceeds of July 25's event Into the auxiliary fund.

The money gained on that evening will be donated directly to the hospital treasury and will be used for the day-to-day expenses of the institution. The good ladies last evening decid ed to have an orchestra present on uie evening or tne social, if none of the patients in the institution at that time 'is in such a serious condi tionthat to open the hospital would prove injurious, the Sunshiners will have the hospital opened on that evening in order to give the public a cnance to see the new institution, The arrangements for the festival are mainly In the hands of the hos pital committee of the society, but all the East Side Sunshiners will aid in making the evening a big suc cess, socially and financially. Following are the members of the hospital committee: Mrs. Ray Esterline. chairman; Mrs.

P. Walls, Mrs. W. J. Heinsling, Mrs.

Ed Vogt, Mrs. Harry Selwitz. Mrs. Jessie Nale, Mrs. George Curran.

The new home of 'the Loyal Order of Moose, 1214 Eighth avenue, is to be dedicated in the early fall and a committee to act with Jhe board of directors of the home association In arranging for the event will be named at the next meeting of the lodge, on Thursday, July 27, by the dictator, P. J. Reilly. The new home was to have been dedicated a month or so after it was opened, in early spring, but the furniture for the lodge room did not arrive and in fact has not yet ar-rived-rhaving been held up by a strike in the Michigan factory where it is being made. The board of directors has heard now that the furniture will come on or about August 1, so that the plans for the dedication, postponed several times, have been started anew.

The -directors will hold a meeting on Tuesday evening and, if definite word concerning the arrival of the furniture is received by them before that time they will then choose the exact date for the dedication. It was desired to have the home entirely completed for the dedication and the officers here held off the event until the permanent furniture for the lodge room can get here. Meetings have been going on in the room all the same, the place being temporarily furnished. The new lodge room furniture will be the handsomest furniture of ltskind in this section of the state. Tried to Break Into House.

Thomas Smart is the name of a man that appears on an Information made before Alderman John J. Irwin, of the Fourth ward. On two consecutive nights Smart is alleged to have attempted to enter the house of Calvin Prough, at 623 East Harrison avenue. Prough appeared at the residence of Alderman John J. Irwin at 11 o'clock the night before last and made information' against Smart, alleging that the night before some one had come to his house and tried i to gain entrance, although the would-be intruder was not seen.

The second night, Thursday, the mystic came back and tried his same trick again. This time he was seen and, Prough alleges, the prowling man was Smart. Prough said his vKe was made ill with fright. Smart was arrested yesterday morning at 11 o'clock and was locked up in the city hall to await a heaVing before Alderman Irwin this afternoon. The prisoner was unable to give- the $300 bail" asked to Insure his appearance at the hearing.

Fetes Last Night. The Third Presbyterian church last evening conducted a festival in the basement of the church, Fifth avenue and Second street, and a large crowd was present. A lawn fete was conducted by the Altoona Turngemeinde last evening in the large plot of ground, at Eighth avenue Fifteenth street, beside the home of the society. Gets New Clerk. Archy Hummel, of 2431 Fifth avenue, has joined the force of clerks in David J.

Davis' drug store, Union and Eighth avenues, near Twenty-fourth treet 1 A fight that occurred In the Pennsylvania Railroad company's vard just east of WN office late yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock is likely to result in murder. Giovani Ma- gini is at the hospital in a serious condition and likely to die. Nazzer-en Pirono, another one of the participants, is also In the hospital with a couple of stab wounds which are not considered as serious. Domico Bellini, aged 44 years, residing in the vicinity, bf Hillside, is being detain ed on suspicion of having done the cutting and will be held pending the outcome of Maginl's wounds. The three men are in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, work under Foreman Samuel Cornelius as trackmen and w-sre considered good workmen.

They, quit work at 4:30 yesterday afternoon and started for home and when just a short distance east of WN office got into an altercation. There are conflicting stories on the cause of the trouble. The men in the hospital blame Bellini, while Bellini blames them. Ugly and in sulting words are said to have been passed by the men and resulted In a fight. The stories of Pirono and Magini are to the effect that while they were coming home Bellino turn ed on them and slashed them with a knife.

Bellini says that he was called insulting names; that he was knocked down and set upon by the men. The knife used In the cutting was one manufactured from an old file about four and a half inches long. The company police authorities have not been able to find it but are mak ing a search to recover it. Bellini is said to have wielded the knife in the fight which took place near tne Kea bridge, while he and Magini were fighting Pirono is re ported to have stepped in as peacemaker and got hurt. Magini- was slashed and stabbed about the right abdomen, the wound inflicted being regarded as extremely serious.

Pir ono was stabbed once over the heart and also had his lip slashed. Both men were taken to the hospital, where their injuries were dressed. Magini, the most seriously hurt, had several large blood vessels severed, but fortunately the knife did not reach the intestines. The Pennsylvania Railroad com-. pany police authorities got busy on the job and about 6 o'clock arrested Bellini at his home" on the charge of having figured in the fight and stabbing the other two men.

He was closely questioned concerning the trouble and placed the blame for the affair on the others. He will be hojd awaiting the result of Maginl's wounds. FELL THIRTY FEET. A Tinner When Scaffolding Gave Way Under Him. A scaffold giving away under William Bastian, a tinner aged 56 years, fell thirty feet to the ground and was seriously injured, while working on a house at East Altoona yesterday morning about 11 o'clock.

He was brought to the Altoona hos pital, where it is believed that his back is broken vHe was placed, in a water bed to rest until this morning when an X-Ray examination will be made to ascertain the exact ex tent of his injury. Mr. Bastian, who resides at 132712 Twelfth avenue. Is employed by Ernest F. Maeder, tinner and plumber of Juniata, and he was engaged in putting spouting on a new house at East Altoona.

Not knowing that a section of the scaffolding was loose, he stepped from the roof to the top of the. frame work. Immediately it toppled down under his weight and he fell to the ground thirty feet below. He fell In a crouched position and landed on his back. Another workman was with Mr, Bastian but was on the roof when the scaffold gave way.

Merchant P. W. Fair of East Altoona brought the injured man In his automobile to the Altoona hospital. Mr. Bastian's fate rests practically on whether his back Is broken or not, as he did not sustain any other injuries more than slight bruises.
