Mr. Lou J. Miller Hospitality enter
tanned about three hundred friends last
night at his new wholesale grocery, No.
800 Main street. It was the formal
christening Of the new building, a hand

brick structure, which replaces the
frame building recently torn down.
The guests admired the new place Of
business, but little time was wasted
in that direction, as the genial host
provided entertainment to occupy their
entire time, not the least of which was
the bountiful supper and cOpious guam
titles of wet goods. The inner man
certainly did not suffer for attention.
The affair was highly enjoyable
throughout.

VALUE or FORESTS
They May Not Influence Rainfall. but
They Benefit Springs and Rivers.

Harrisburg, Pa, Nov 49, "ThC
mcval OF the forests ut the hcadwatcrs
OF the streams has anything to do with
shortage Of rainfall Ia much to the
point just now" says Forestry Com
missioner Rothrock. "'rhc answer to
II Is n very direct one. II forests in
fluenco our rainfall here II has mover
yet been conclusivcly proved The facts
mt our disposal seem to Indicate that
forests do not increase rainfall to any
great extent, IL at all II Is true that
certain European statistics have re-
Gently been offered which would tend
to prove the contrary but they arc
based on too brief period OF ohscrNa-
tion and come from too small an area
to base II general law upon, should
be very glad, indeed, if they were con-
tirmcd in future and II ii could he
shown that larger forests brought
more regular and copious rainfall.
On the other hand, If YOU ask whether
or not the absence Of forests has any
thing to do with the drying up Of our
springs and streams and the low stage
of water In the rivers the answer must
unquestionahly be yes. This is true
from the general principle that water
which has already gone out of the
country is no longer there to maintain
springs and streams. II Is clearly
shown that snow melts more slowly III
the forests than II does on the open
ground. More time Is thus given ir

the soil The leaves and the trunk,

A day or two before the String arbof

Brandywine quickly became bank nun
and that evening positive iresheI
was threatened. 1t naturally grew
colder in the night and the thaW was"
suspended. This gave the stream tiIhe
to relieve itself of the surplus water,
The following day examination showed
that the snow still remained IN the
woods in large quantities. 1t had
zone. however, from the fields and 1t
was from the latter mairly that the
froshet had come. In other words,
water from the fields had been rapidly
pouring out Of the country, while that
In the woods had been slowly soaking
into the ground. The slowness with
which woods deliver their rainfall to
the principal streams was well Illus
irated by the Wyoming valley In the
spring of 1894, when the Susquehanna
was bank full from it's drainage OF the
open ground. And yet after two days
more OF continuous rainfall the tribu-
tarlcs of the I.ehigh about Bear creek
had hardly commenced to swell. In
deed, we have the testimony of one OF
the most distinguished engineers in
this country that most of the water
falling on forest land Is saved and that
most of that going on open ground Is
lost
"From the foregoing you may well
conclude that the presence OF forests
does restrain freshets, on one hand,
and does prolong the flow of water in
our springs and streams, on the other
hand Furthermore. my attention has
recently been called to the fact that
springs, probably of local origin, were

Of the fields were much more frequent

Milwaukee, Nov. l3.-Prcsident John

ufacturers' association, is receiving
additional proof daily that the state
semi-centennial celebration will be
one of the best and most popular dem
onstrations of the kind ever made by
the people OF Wisconsin. In a letter
to Mr.. Hansen the mayor of GAINESVILLE,
f. s. Baines, heartily endorses the idea
of the celebration. Mr.. Raines says:
After talking with several of our
most prominen, citizens | have con-
cluded that they. like myself, think
that grand state celebration in 1898
would be the thing, and a splendid adj
yertiSement think the legislature
should make a liberal donation to-
wards such scheme and that each
county should have space to display
its products as the states did at the
worlds fair

TEXAS COMES TO GRIEF.
4 RATTLE SHIP SUSTAlNS IN
JUklES IN DRY. DOCK.
Exact Injuries to be Determined by ,
Special Board lIowlCs Not
to BE Blamed.

Washington, Nov. Is. The battle
ship Texas has come to grief in the
drydock at Now York and sustained
injuries the exact extent of which Is
not known ut the present time. The
ship went into dock d week ago to DC
cleaned and painted and to remove the
accumulation Of sea weeds which bad
grown in the pipe gratinEs leading to
the circulating pumps Eleven feet of
water had been let into the dock to
tighten the load on the keel blocks. In
the absence of full details which will
be gathered by special board the
department officials are not disposed to
place the blame for the accident
upon Constructor BoWlcS, who had
charge of the docking, as he has rep
utation of being one of the best dock
men in the navy. Instead, there Is a
belief that the Texas was too lightly
built to stand her own weight Will" in
dock, and IL this should be the case, it
would cost large sum of money and
much time to strnightCn the hull. The
vessel was built on plans purchased
from England.

recent elections. Had Kentucky elect

confidently expected that Carlisle

chances for the presidential nominal

traction for Carlisle Besides which
his tasks and desires lead him natlir-
