The Times of June 7th announced that in all probability Gettysburg would be the place selected, and the telegram this morning confirms that prediction.

The word came from G. A. Carbaugh, who is the delegate from the Arendtsville lodge to the convention now in session at Wilkes-Barre.

The State authorities contended that the secion in question is a county- built road before it has been taken over and which it optional for the State to include within its jurisdiction. Even if it wished to take over the Nazareth-Bethlehem road, argced the State Highway Department, it can't afford to do so as it hasn't sufficient funds now to fulfill its obligations so far as township roads are concerned.

When college is in session, he makes weekly visits to Gettysburg. Most town people who attend the concerts given by the college musical clubs will remember his playing intricate pieces on different string instruments during the entertainments.

Some time in May, John D.

The letter stated that the body was willing to pay a reasonable rental for such a place.

Mr. Hartman, a former employe of The Times, is now a fourth year medical student at the University of Pennsylvania. His opportunity for observance of this disease is invaluable. The city hospital is maintained by the Department of Public Charities and is the one municipal institution to which all city charity patients are sent.

Dr. Bender's position of acting superintendent gives him the charge of one of the country's largest hospitals and carries with it a corresponding responsibilty.
