cOmmemorated the anniversary of the evac-
uation of Philadelphia by the British June
Is by taking excursions to points where
striking events in the revolution were en-
acted This year the trip was postponed for
a day, as more members could leave the
city at the end of the week. The party that
went was the largest that has ever turned
out on any such occasion. A special train
carried the Sons over the North Penn Rail
road, and arrived at Bethlehem at IL

ton was awaiting.
Bethlehem was having a holiday. Hun
dreds of men, women and children were on
the streets, and flags decorated the houses

by Rev. @. Wooley Hodge, chaplain Of the
society, and blessing was asked by Bishop

distance of only few steps. When all had
gathered in front of the building the cords
were drawn to expose the tablet
Formal transfer of the tablet to the socie-
ty from the committee on monuments and
memorials was made by Charles Henry

surgeons estimated that it would accommo-
date not more than $50 wounded soldiers
Notwithstanding this, from eight hundred
to one thousand were at times crowded into
it from cellar to roof. In October of 1777
the number of wounded grew so great that
wooden building to accommodate the
overflow had to be put up in the yard

BOSTON MUSIC HALL ORGAN.
The Great Instrument I'm Its Day Was
IL Veritable Marvel.
The Musical Age.


The great organ of the Music Hall in
Boston, which was recently sold and which
win now. probably grace the town hall of a
small Vermont town, was accounted in its
day one of the most marvellous pieces of
organ construction in the United States.
1t was decided in 1852, shortly after the
completion of the Boston Music Hail. that
an organ to eclipse anything else of the
kind in this country should at once be Sc
cured. A musical festival was held, whose
proceeds went to form the nucleus of a
fund which ''at some future day might fur
nSil the hall with an organ OF the first
class The sum realized by the festival
was only 1920 but this sum continually
grew by private subscription, individual
munificence and liberal appropriations from
time TO time by the Music Hall corpora
ton till enough was guaranteed to warrant
the undertaking. A special committee was
then formed, which, after making a tho
rough study of the best organs to be found
in this country, spent the summer of 1853 in
visiting the factories in England, France,
Germany and Switzerland, finally awarding
the contract to the firm of Walcker of
Ludwigsburg Germany. No definite ac-
ton, however was taken until 1856, when a
subscription was started with a view of
completing the sum of $25 COO, the directors
OF Music Hall agreeing to appropriate So
Geo if the remainder could be pledged by
subscription.
The germ of the design was supplied bv
Hammatt Billings, but the plan fnally
adopted was made by Gustave and Chris
tan Herter of New York. Its specifications

This is a novel means of developing the
business instincts of boys. a few years
ago, Mr.. Bradley told one of the boys to
dispose of some old lumber. Shortly after
he discovered tiny cottage that had been
erected just above the playground. This
suggested a new idea to him. He told the
boys that he would give those who cared
for it sufficient lumber to put up and cover
cottage which each owner must line and
furnish for himself. There were several ap-
pilcants Immediately. and shortly after a
nunlclpal system of government was es-
tdbIShed. There is a town house and a
bank, while the cottages vie with each 9TH

Dear Senator-I wish You would in
troduce bill and secure its passage CIV
ing the board of county commissioners
control of all lots and lands held by the
county for delinquent taxes, and au-
thorize the board to allow the poor of
the city and county to use said lots and
lands free OF charge, and authorizing the
board TO make an appropriation suffi-
Gent TO furnish seed for them. This
would enable the poor 10 use the said
lots and lands and assist them 10 make
their living. a good garden and potato
patch would be a great help 10 the fam
lilies that the county is compelled TO aid.
And then it would be better for them to
cultivate the lots and lands than to al
low them to grow UP in weeds and sun
flowers.
'As the law now is We have no control

arc doing nobody any good. l believe
that such a law would be a great bless
