MAKE WORTHY RECORD.
State Board of Charities Saves
$4,000 Of Appropriation.

Instead of a deficit of $4,000 or 100000
which stared them in the face a few
months ago, the state board of charities
and corrections finds that it will turn
back into the state treasury $35, 900 of
its appropriations and that it has about
$4,000 worth of contracted goods on
hand and paid for, with which to start
off the new fiscal year.
The board is holding a session today,
settling up its business for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1902. When the
drOuth came on last summer it was ex-
pected that provisions and feed would
become very high, and it was predicted
that the board would lack about $60, 900
of having enough money to run it
through the fiscal year. The aggregate
appropriations for the eight charitable
institutions reach about $475, 900.
Il don't think the board is entitled to
any special credit for getting through
the way it has, said Henry Allen, pres
ident of the board, today. I'VE have
made all repairs necessary and have
not skimped any of the institutions, but
we have rounded off the corners a little
here and there, and the superintendents
have been very careful in their buying.
That is why we have a surplus of $685.
600 to turn back into the treasury in
stead of a big deficit. We have about
$4,000 worth of supplies on hand, too
I do not think it is good policy to try
to 'skfmp' the state institutions, but
by being careful and watching the cor
. ners it is no hard matter to save money
. for the state"

ground that the Chicago Board of
Trade itself was a bucket shop without

ARRESTING STRIKERS.
Charge Is Inciting to Riot and
Interfering With Officers

Harrisburg, Pa, July 7.-Sheriff Reiff
swore out warrants today for the ar
rest of ten strikers at Williamstown for
melting to riot and interfering with
his deputies in protecting nonunlon
men going to and from work in the
mines at Lykens and Williamstown.
The sheriff says the situation in the
region is critical and that if there IS
another outbreak like that of last We'd
nesday when he and his deputies were
assaulted while protecting nonunion
miners, he will call upon Governor
Stone for protection by the militia.
Twenty of the rioters were arrested
on Thursday at Williamstown and held
in bail for court but this does not seem
to have improved the situation and the
sheriff concluded to bring suit here and
compel the rioters to come to Harris
burg for hearing. The sheriff came
here this morning to make information
against the rioters and returned to the
Lykens region at noon to assist his dep
utieS in arresting the strikers for whom
warrants have been issued.

WRITES FROM GERMANY.
Max Thymian, of Santa Fe Shops,
Visits Old Home

Max Thyman. transfer tableman at the
Santa Fe car shops, who left six weeks
ago for his old home in Germany. has
written interestingly of the impressions of
the Fatherland, what he has seen and
experienced since reaching that country.
Mr.. Thymian's visit thus far evidently
has been much enhanced by the pleas
of a trip up the Rhine river. He visit
ed the city of Bonn, seat of the great uni

the Emperor is a student. At Bingen the
Niederwald statue erected by William
First. symbohzing. the united Germany
was the principal object of interest.
Descriptions of a brief visit in Bavaria,
at Heidelberg the university and castle
and a journey up the Thueringenwald
mount aims consume most of the letter
aside from brief observation of the beauty
of the scenery along the Rhine-the high
hills and wine plantations from which
comes the world famous Rhenish wine.
Between the rocks he says may be OBJ
served peasants carrying on their backs
baskets of earth in which the vines are
planted; and the whole face of the land
seems to be mass of vines
The letter is written from Berlin, and a
few lines are taken in describing interest
ing things about that city. He has seen
a large number of shopmen's relatives,
all of whom are mentioned specifically in
his communication. Mr.. Thymian will not
return to America until the latter part of
the summer.

Everything else will be transmitted to
Washington for attention there, either
by the regular White House force, or.
in cases where other action is required
