Gently of Wayne county, is visiting his
son, Dr. Harvey Underwood, on Null
berry street. For several terms Mr.
Underwood represented his district of
Wayne county at Harrisburg, and for
the past seventeen years he has been d
member of the state board of agricul-
ture. Each election was case of the
office seeking the man, Mr.. Underwood
never having been a political worker.
Mr.. Underwood is the owner of hun
dreds of acres of beautifully wooded
and farm land surrounding Lake Como,
over in Wayne, although for years he
has given up farming and has only
given his time to his legislative duties.
He is a naturalist and an antiquarian,
and has a collection of Indian relics,
stones, ores, mosses and fossils which
would probably rival the famous Hol.
lister collection. Mr.. Underwood is at
present living in Elmra.

EXTRA GUARDS APPOINTED.
Prison Board Takes Steps to Pre-
vent Escapes.

At meeting of the prison board, held
on Saturday in the county commission
ers' office, three new guards were ap-
pointed to look after the prisoners at
work on the roads. Those appointed
We're Henry LOTUS. B. E. Hughes and
David Evans. This course was decided
upon as the result of Charles Miller's
successful escape lat Thursday. The
board, at the suggestion of Judge
Archibald, decided to make an example
of Miller if he is captured. He will be
tried for escaping, and will probably
live to regret the dayhe ever ran away.
II. +. Paine, president Of the Abing-
ton Turnpike company, appeared be-
fore the board and requested that some
of the prisoners be put at work on that
portion of the turnpike road lying
within the city limits. The city con-
tracted to keep this part of the road in
repair, but has not done so. Mr. Paine
said he would furnish the stone If the
county would furnish the labor.
Warden Simpson was instructed to
ascertain how many more prisoners are
capable of working on the road and to
report the same at the next meeting.

corted to their hotels.
After the party had taken lunch they
were marched as a body TO the White

sented to President and Mrs. Mckinley
at $50 o'clock. The marine band was
in attendance and dispersed patriotic
airs. Each guest was introduced by
name by Juan Endique Macias. a local
Cuban. Each of the visitors had a word
of greeting already prepared: How
do you do" God bless you" and
How happy l am" predominating.
After leaving the White house. the
party gathered on the broad lawns and
sang patriotic songs. General C!sneros.

covered in the crowd and a big de-
monstration ensued. Women frantic
with joy, threw their arms around the
old soldiers neck and men tossed their
hats in the air. Then the crowd en-
barked on the electric cars for Glen
Echo. At the auditorium there, amid
decorations representing the Cuban
and American colors, there was a pa
triotic concert.
