HARRISBURG, September Is, 1895.
1t is characteristic of civilized
man to prepare for the remote fu-
ture This is one of the most strik-
ing differences between him and the
barbarian, who lives only for the
present. In the struggle for sup
remacy civilization has won because
it anticipated the future and met its
events as they appeared.
1t is a function of our public
schools to train pupils to lead in
such movements as will best perpet-
uate the State. For this reason, each
succeeding autumn, you the pupils
are enjoined by public proclamation
to turn aside for one day and con-
slider the relation which the wood
lands of the Commonwealth will
have to your prosperity when you
are the citizens and rulers of the
State. For this you are asked to
encourage, by your example, the
planting of trees, which will grow
into a source of wealth and power
Thus you may transmit influences
or good, not only to the next gen
GRAFTON, but to those which succeed
it.
A waste acre which produces no
thing is a reproach to any country,
as much as a wasted life is dis
grace to him who has led it. There
fore, lend the weight of your charac-
ter and example to the public duty
of covering the barren hills and
mountain tops of the State with
trees. whose leaves will distil mois-
ture into the air, whose trunks and
bark will furnish material for our
industries, and whose roots will aid
in producing fresh soil to replace
that which is washed from our fields
down the streams and rivers into
the ocean.
If you, in your day and genera
ten, fail to do this, the order of ma
ture will be violated and a penalty
will inevitably be invited upon the
land for whose prosperity you will
be responsible.
The abundance, in future of the
matured fruit of orchards, forests
and fields, will be in proportion tC
your individual activity in tret
planting and in forest restoration.
Trees may be planted both in the
spring and in the fall of the year
In accordance with a time -honoret
custom, I appoint Friday, October
90, 1896, as Autumn Arbor Day, an(
earnestly urge directors, superin
tendents, teachers and pupils to OBJ
serve the day with appropriate ex
ercises, both by the planting O
trees and by the dissemination o
information on the growth and car,
of trees and their value to presen
and future generations.

NEW YORK, Sept 29.-It is asserted on
good authority that DR.. Chaunoey Mitch
ell Depew and Miss Edith Collins, his
ward, are to be married In October. The
report that they were to become husband
and wife has been printed several times,
but never has been confirmed. This time
It is believed generally about town that
the day for tbeir wedding has been set
The last time that the report was circu-
lated that Mr.. Depew and his ward were
to be married was when young Cornelius
Vanderbilt married Grace Wilson. Miss
Collins had been travelling in Europe with
party, of which Mr. Depew was a mem
Der. Mr.. Depew was called home by the
sudden illness Of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Sr., and Miss Collins came to the United
States with him. They were constantly
together. A few days after Grace Wilson
became Mrs. Vanderbilt, Miss Collins
sailed back to Europe. Now 1t is reported
from the other side that she has been at
tending to her trousseau and that she will
return to this country about the middle of
next month to be married to the doctor.
When DR.. Depew is asked about the ru-
mors, he smiles and says nothing. Miss
Collins is great at-granddaughter of old
Commodore Vanderbilt and Is an ex-
tremely distant relative to Mr.. Depew.

WILLIAM @ WHITNEY.

and proceeded at once TO Bar HarboF He
rapidly regained his health and after
meeting Mrs Randolph, the two decided
upon the date Of the wedding
There are several features which tend
TO cast hale Of romance over the mar
Tiage-a oourtship Of several years, the
sudden engagement and hasty marriage.
Mrs Randolph is an old friend Of the
whitney family and has been intimately
associated with them for the past ten years.
While Mr., whitney, with bis family and
a party Of friends, were passing the sum-
mer In Europe, six years ago, the couple
were thrown much In each others society.
His marked attention to Mrs. Randolph
op various occasions since has given rise
TO the rumor in society that they were en-
gagged, but society was left to speculate,
foi Mr. whitney kept his own counsel and
did not conide in his most intimate
friends 1t was not until yesterday that
be chose TO make his engagement and an
ticipated wedding public.
Mr.. Whitney's son, Harry Payne, with
his newly welded wife, is now on his hon
eymoon. The couple will start shortly
from Lenox, Mass, for Vancouver, b. c.,
where they will take the steamship EN-
press of India for Japan. Mr.. Whitney g
daughter, Mrs. A. H. Paget, is, with her
husband, spending the summer In the
Adirondaoks. She is slightly indisposed,
which prevented her attending the we'd
ding.
Reports Of Family Estrangement Denied.
A suggestion that there was any es-
arrangement in the family on account OF
the wedding was denied positively, as all
the members of the family have been on
the best of terms with the prospective
bride
Mrs. Randolphs late husband was a
captain In the Fifteenth hussars, com
monty called the Queens Own She was
originally Miss Edith S. May and is a first
cousin TO Herman Oelriohs also to Mrs.
Colonel William Jay. She is the mother
of two children the eldest 10 years old.
Mr.. Whitney was born in Conway,
Mass July 3, fS41. He Is descended in
the eighth generation from John Whit
ney, one of the leading English Puritans
who settled in Watertown, Mass, in 1885.
On his mothers side he is descended Ci-
reotly from Governor Bradford, who came
over in the Mayhower. His ancestors on
the male line were men of unusual
strength Of character among whom were
Brigadier General Josiah Whitney. In
1888 Yale conferred the honorary degree
of LII. D. on Mr.. Whitney. He graduated
from Yale in 1868, and was the valedio-
torian of his class, dividing the honors In
English with Professor W. d. Summer,
now Of Yale. He was appointed secretary
of the navy by President Cleveland March
8, 1885. He served two terms as counsel
to the corporation In this city, beginning

Here is a question from the Sep
tember number of the Normal In
structor, the answer to which will
appear in the October issue, and
which 1 analyze as found below,
with the result appended. There is
some difference in opinion concern
ing the price, but whether right or
wrong, I see it in the way have
solved it, at present, anyway.
A laborer hired out for one year
for 1915 and suit of clothes. He
quit at the end of 10 months, and re-
ceived $175 and the suit. How
much was the suit worth
Had he stayed / year,
He would have received S216
plus the suit
For 10 months he received $175
plus the suit.
In 1 month he was entitled to SIS,
plus 1-12 the suit
In 10 months he was entitled to
$3.50, plus So the suit;
But he accepted $175 and the suit /:
Hence 1-6 the price of the suit
equals the diff. bet. $3.50 and $175,
which is S., and once the price of
the suit equals 6 times $5, which is
$50. KIRo.
"I. Sickles," in the Dispatch,

1t reads as follows If A and B to

days, and A can do ID as much as B,
how long will it take each to do it ?
Since A does only "a as much as
IB, it is evident that B does once or
"A his own work,
Hence:
Once (or 40 BIS work BIS work,
And, "a q" I" AS Z"
And "a BIS work the work
of both,
Hence the work of both together
parts, of which A does parts, and
B does z parts or A does 81 of the
work, and B Az of it.
Had either done II of the work 3
did in 1 day, it would have taken
him z times IL days, or "a days, to
complete the work alone
And, since A did 81 as much as
B did in day to complete the work
alone he would require as many
