Lazarus, a committee of the Luther League of the Ailentown Central, which has charge of the subscriptioi list of the Luther League Hall at Muh i lenberg College, makes the following which has charge of the subscription cnberg College, makes the following appeal in the current issue of The Lutheran: "Since the last appearance of a report on Luther League Hall in these columns, the committee charged with the gathering of such a fund has been active in devising ways and means of completing this fund until Jan 1, 1S10. The suggested by the committee and one that has been endorsed by many leagues, has been this: In order to raise the remaining $2000, this amount has been divided into 100 shares at $20 per share, payable on or before Jan. 1, 1910. Does this seem Impossible? By no means, when every league, whether it has already subscribed or not, will heartily co-operate with the committee. Twenty of these shares have been subscribed for by various leagues, the majority of which had previously subscribed but felt constrained to lend a helping hand in the final effort of erecting Luther League Hall at Muhlenberg College, free of debt.

"The accounts of the treasurer, Rev. L. J9. Lazarus, on July 1, 1909, show these figures: Subscribed, paid, $4197.21 (including the accrued interest of unpaid, $187.57. According to the resolution of the committee, endorsed by the central, the hall wiill not be until the total amount of $6500 has been subscribed.

Thence bounding off it broke a finger of Mabel, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Victor A. Laudenslager of 208 South Madison Street.

The boy was knocked unconscious, but last night was reported out of danger. The accident happened about 3 o'clock. The children were standing near the building for which Mr. Laudenslager is the bricklaying contractor. The brick Is said to have been dropped by Ray Weiant, who was subsequently discharged.

In Its fall the brick struck a piece of the scaffolding and had its momentum considerably diminished. Had It not been for this, it Is likely the Rothermel boy would have been killed. As It Is, he sustained severe scalp wounds. VISITORS FROM NEW MEXICO. HARRY ALGERT WENT WEST 25 YEARS AGO.

REFORMERS MAKE OVERTURES Matter to Be Considered at Meeting of State Committee Next Wednesday-Democrats Want Supreme Judge and Auditor General. Former leaders of the Lincoln party who are interested in the success of the reform movement In Philadelphia have made overtures to Colonel James m. Guffey.Democratic state leader.look- ing to theTormation of a fusion ticket, Thig SUDlect will be discussed by the Democrats at a meeting of the State Committee In Harrisburg next Wednesday. Colonel Guffey told those who saw him that fusion would not be considered unless the nominations for Supreme Court justice and auditor general were glvem to the Democrats. This seemed agreeable to the reform leaders, and while nothing definite was promised, it is believed that the Democrats are favorable to fusion on the state ticket, provided the reformers assist in electing a Democrat to a county office in Philadelphia.

"Fusion has been suggested to us," said Mr. Guffey. "What will be done, of course, will depend entirely upon conditions. The Democratic State Convention will be held late, and we are anxious to entertain anything that will be beneficial to our party and the state." What the Lincoln party managers seek more than anything else is the election of the Penn ticket In Philadelphia. They say that if the fusion state ticket is made up of two good Democrats of an independent type and one strong Republican, it can be safely used to head the Penn ticket, or, rather, the Penn candidates nominated by the fusion party.

This will form a fusion state and county ticket. Such a combination Is sought by the practical politicians of the reform movement. They point out that no opportunity shaH be lost to attract the Democratic vote. While it is apparentat this time that-none of the Penn candidates is inclined to resign to give way to a Democrat on he Philadelphia ticket and thus perfect fusion, it is believed that the advice of William C. Bullitt will prevail in the end and this be Leaders of the Ryan-Donnelly machine say that the attitude of the reformers Is, distinctly that of office seeking, and does not look to the election of a strong administrative officer like district attorney.

"The whole fight turns uion the election of a district attorney," said a Democrat. "The othe offices are unimportant, but the reformers, instead of concentrating their attention upon that office, wish to get them all. As Democrats we do not conceal the fact that we want places. We are entitled to one of the three places to be filled in November. And if the reformers do not accord us one place on the Penn ticket, it is safe to predict that the Democratic machine followers will vote the Republican ticket." This situation is receiving the serious consideration of leaders of both parties, and it is probable that late In September a satisfactory Demo-cratic-Penn ticket will be formed.

The Republicans are doing everything they can to keep the Democrats and Penn party from reaching an amicable basis for November. Without harmony the Republicans count upon from 8000 to 10,000 Democratic votes being converted to the Republican ticket And this may be sufficient to save the Republican ticket. At the meeting of the State Com mittee a policy to bring together the warring Democrats separated In the Bryan fight will be outlined. It Is the purpose of Colonel Guffey, the leaders ed fight to elect members of the Legislature next year. It is said that he will aim to make the Democratic party a strong minority force, and toy the end that Its name may be redeemed from that of "Republican annex," he will ask for the honest cooperation of all Democrats.
