Ex-Governor Samuel W. Pennypack er "bearded the lions in their den," as he xpressed it, by appearing before the Congregationalist Ministers' Association recently, and giving the clergy men a talk on theology. The "Sage of Schwenksville" spoke to the ministers at their weekly dinner and meeting in the Central Young Men's Christian As sociatlon, and dwelt upon the virtues of the Schwenkfelders, whom he eulo gized as "in many ways the best and most interesting people who came to these provinces." Mr.

Pennypacker hastened to ex- off from all railway communication, plain that he was not a Schwenkfelder "The who have a large, num-had no blood relation with them and ber of men in the lield, have won many was therefore in a position to pass a I judicial opinion upon their merits.

The officials of.

the Pennsylvania Motor Federation have sent notice to every member of its affiliated clubs in the state, warning thorn to cot after their Representatives in the Legislature, now in session at Harris urg, and demand the defeat of the 1)11 recently introduced In that body by Senator James McNichol of Philadelphia, which proposes to increase the price of licence fees to motorists to f2o, $50 and just five times the amiunt now-charged for the privilege of driving an automobile over the roads of Pennsylvania. In the notification of the members of its clubs throughout the state the Pennsylvania Motor Federation warns them all that they must be up and doing from now om till the end of the session of the Legislature against this latest gouge of the automobile owners. This proposed tax on the automobile Is denounced by one of the leading motorists of the Commonwealth as the most brazen and unjust proposition that has ever1 been heard of since the creation of tho In justification of his denunciation of the big increase in the cost of a license for automobilists in Pennsylvania he states that "Pennsylvania's total mileage is about 98,500. Of these less than three-fourths of 1 per cent. (700 miles) has been improved with state aid.

Including with these all locally improved roads, we have a total of less than 3 per cent, of improved highways throughout this great Commonwealth, and in this connection it must be remembered that on more than 700 miles of main arteries uf travel the the farmer and the merchant, in delivering goods by wagon or motor vehicle, finds that lie must pay tribute to that relic of antiquity, the tollgate." The proposition to increase the tax on automobiles to $25, $50 and $75 be comes all the more outrageous when the proposed rate is compared with that charged in adjoining states, where millions dollars have been expended an building and maintaining 1 I'UlllO. Ill LliU, I Jersey the tax for automobiles is $5, $7 and $14, according to the horsepower of the car. In that state the total mileage is about 14,000. Of this total, 3000 miles, about 22 per are of the finest road construction that money can produce. The toll road has been practically wiped out of existence, for there are but 30 miles of road left in the entire state over whioh toll is "charged.

In New York the total mileage is about 68,000. In the past five years there Iras been expended, Jointly with state aid, the munificent sum of $40,000,000 i'n road building and improvement. 'They have 1 per cent, of modern improved roads, or atotal of 10,500 miles of the first-class highways. W'hat is still more cheering to every roaa user ana traveler is tne fact that the state roads are free to all comers. The toll gates have been completely put out of business.

Yet for all this tremendous amount of good riding surface -and the other privileges which the New Y'ork motorists enjoy the license fees are but $3, $10, $15 and $25, according to the horsepower of the cars1. With these facts in mind, it scorns beyond all reason that the automobile tax In Pennsylvania should be so heavy as is proposed in the McNichol bill, The Pennsylvania Motor Federation, through its officials, has become thoroughly aroused to the tremendous importance of prompt action in this matter by every member of an automobile club throughout the state, and has asked that the members- of the 40 clu'ba which are affiliated with the organization not only protest to their legislators against such unjust taxaL tion, but that they use every effort to secure the opposition to this 'measure of every automobile owner In the state, whether he is a member of an automobile club or not. The federation feels that it must have the encouragement and support of the entire motoring fraternity if this vicious legislation is to be overcome. Don't your "PARLOR" Need Furnishing this Spring?

Although happy and contented in the distinction and honor accorded in being the rei-cognized third oldest company the city, America 2, might, per chance, lay claim to greater distinction'. The company is the direct lineal "ae'iicendant "Of 'the' city's oldest fire fighting aggregation, the Old Lehigh company, which purchased its first hose carriage in '1832. The Old Lehigh resolved into the AVashington, the Washington into the Young America, the Young America into.

Eagles, whioh practically, disbanded during the Civil War on account of the members almost without exception responding to the country's call. The Lehigh followed the Eagles and on March 9, 1864, thirty-four young men, many of the members of former companies, met in the. building on South Sixth street, at present occupied by Hartman's pigar store, and organized themselves into the Young America Fire Company, changing the name in 1866 to the America Hose Company, No. 2. The Good Will and the Columbia companies had already received muni' cipal recognition.

The company's first '-president was City Controller James who also became the city's fifst assistant fire chief, the Columbia's furnishing the first chief in Simon Snyder, Mr. Haus-man leaving the city, Alderman Jacob Renninger of the Americas, succeeded him as assistant chief, and after eight year's consecutive service, succeeded Wallace Rune as the clay's third fire chief. Mr. Renninger served from-1875 to 1878. The America's first foreman was William Knauss, deceased.

Out of original -j membership of thirty-four young men, thre still survive in City Controller James Haus-man. Alderman Jacob S. Renninger and Milton Saoger. For about thirty-three years the Americas held forth on South Sixth street or until during Mayor Allison's administration when the Central Fire Police Station was erected, and the Americas shared quarters there ever since. The present membership is about seventy, and the officers are; President, Milton George, deceased; vice president and acting president, Allen Schlf-fert; Major W.

D. Mickley; financial secretary, TUghman Weis-bach; treasurer, Frank S. Glick; foreman, William Kransley; assistant foreman, Valentine Weaver; John Keiper; plpeman, Frank Shunk; patrol and ambulance driver, Milton Beisel; board of directors, Charles Gildner, Tilghman Weisbach, Joseph Lentz, Allen Buckley, Charles E. Miller, Solomon Hausman and secretary Major Mickley. The anniversary was not celebrated on a more elaborate scale on acoount of the company reserving its finances for the entertainment of Friendship Fire Company, No.

1, of Wilmington, who will be the guests of the Americas some time In the. fall. About three years ago the Americas enjoyed a visit to the Wilmington Company. The committee of arrangements consisted of Joseph Lentz, John Murray, Allen Schlffert, "Husher" Miller, Washington Hillegass and William Kransley. Music was furnished last evening by Allen Gangewere on the mandolin, and Allem Romich and "Husher" Miller on the guitar.

That tho rebellion in Mexico is no joke, but serious enough to tie up ill business In the northwestern 'lordor states, and which the Mexican authorities seem to be unable handle, is the declaration of B. W. ijoob, a Reading who has spent i if teen years in. that country as a min- ng engineer, and who is now visiting lis father, Henry Loeb. Mr.

Loeb is a Lehigh University nan who went to Mexico after his lie haw been identified villi a number of hlg enterprises, al-. hough his principal work was in lidalgo, one of the central states. Latterly he has spent some time in on the border, which is one of the hotbeds of rebellion, and was for some months living in El Paso, Texas, just acrbss the border. "This trouble in Mexico is far from a joke it was first termed by Mexican officials and the government thus far has failed to make good its promises to put down the movement," said Mr. Loeb to a representative' of the Reading Eagle.

"The fact of the matter is that the revolt against the Diaz coterie is popular, the people are dissatisfied with conditions in general, the control of the elections by a single party (for Mexico has only one party) and that is the Diaz party, and it is a magnificent machine, but the wheels are getting clogged and everything is a little out of date. The people want greater liberties. The press consor-ship is often arbitrary and men are locked up simply because" they may have been free in expressing their opinions of the high-handed methods of tho government. "Mining operations have practically been at a standstill for months owing to the war. The men who worked in the mines are now at the front, fighting for their country, and ore ship- ments are greatly interfered with.

The (city of Chihauhua, which is a centre for mining and cattle Interests, is cut engagements, outclassing the best troops of the Republic. Popular senti- ment seems be that, while the rebels prevails. "Mexico is. rich in its minerals, being first in tlie production of silver, third or fourth in 'gold, and fifth in copper. Radical changes are bound to take place inJ the near future.

General Reyes, not' in Germany, was sent out of the country on a diplomatic mi-sslon to keep him from becoming the leader of the revolt, which has been simmering for several years. He is very popular and would be the logical successor of Diaz, but the circle who surround him will not stand for Reyes. The whereabouts of General Madero, another popular, hero, are disputed. The government claims that he is in Can doubt whether our army will be sent to Mexico to help the government out, unless American property is destroyed by the rebels."

The building decided upon at the recent meeting of the stockholders is to be 76 feet deep and D10 feet long.

It will be set back from the race course at a uniform distance, "ot 40 feet. To the tiers of seats that will slant from a beautiful colonnade at the top to a point about ten feet from the ground their will be twelve magnificent entrances of' stone. Leading up from these will be the aisles from which seats can be reached on either side, twenty-four' sections of seats thus being provided. The judges' stand will be moved about fifty feet west and the wire will be placed directly in the middle group of seats representing almost 5600 in number. A section will be reserved especially for the press and telegraph and telephone, accommodations for the scribes.

All the seats will be portable so that when the stand is not in use seats may be taken through chutes into, spaces beneath the concreate floor and housed there, secure against the winter, There will be a roof of slag, surrounded by an ornamental parapet, provided, merely as a protection for the spectators from sun and rain. The east and west ends will be in glass to protect the spectators from drafts and other weather conditions. At the top of the grand stand will be a colonnade or promenade, looking out over the grounds and having entrances to swinging rooms provided for the retreat and convenience of women. The building will be surrounded by a cupola of colonial effect from which will float, as well as from other points of advantage on the building, pennants and flags. At the east end will be offices for the secretary and treasurer, a police station, telegraph and telephone exchanges, a private office for the secretary, reception room for guests, a room for the president.

Columns of cement with establatures and copings of cement will be in evidence. Windows will be suitably placed to furnish light to the large rooms within and keep up the architectural idea. Above the entablatures of the columns will be the colonnade, with looking out over the grounds, its arches supporting the roof, concealed by a parapet. The contrast of red brick and the buff of the cement column is expected to be most pleasing.

Throughout the Interior nrettv color schemes will be used and there will a sense of security and size in every detail of the designing.
