CIVH WAR SOLDIERS STILL.
Scventy-flve VOlunte eers OF 1852 Who
Have Never Been Must cred out.


YORK, Pa, Aug 22-York is probably
the only city in the United States that can
boast of having soldiers OF the civil war
still in service.
In 1862 seven companies were formed here.
mustered into the service Of the State and
assigned to the duty Of guarding railway
property in York county. They were sta
toned along the Northern Central Railway
between the village of Seven Valley and the
Maryland line.
When ruruors of Confederate invasion
would reach the border counties the young
guards would be ordered out TO protect
the railway property. When the rumors
died out they would be permitted 10 return
to their homes in this city.
The companies were not designated by
letters or titles and were not attached to
any regiment. Because of this, or perhaps
because of the neglect of the military
authorities the companies were never mus
tered out OF service and discharges were
not issued to the men, SO that legally the
Seventy-tive survivors. most Of whom still
live in this city, are still in the service Of
the State.
William Wanner, member Of one of the
companies, thinks that the survivors ought
to have honorable discharges from the
State, and through State Sentaor f.. X.
McConkey. he will petition the Legislature
in behalf of his surviving comrades. Previ-
ous attempts hive been made by members
of these companies to gain honorable dis
charges. but no legislative action has ever
been taken ON the matter.
To expedite action upon their petition,
NJ. Wanner has suggested that the seventy
five survivors. when they apply for dis
al for ha
forty-one years they have been in service.
Each mans claim against the State would
amount to $685., making the aggregate
claims $780,
The seven companies performed their
last active service just prior to the burn
ing of Chnmbersburg by the Confederate
forces. They were then disbanded and
MANY of their members enlisted in other
companies which saw hard service at the
front.

These opinions OF the playwright were
laid before manager, who did not deny
all of them.

"If writer's come to me with letters from

something that is worth while, l will look
at their plays or have a play-reader do it.
l am, of course certain that there is little
or no ground for hoping that any merit
substantial enough TO make it worth while
to invest money in the play will be found.
There are certain s.'rcial rules of play
writing that managers have found it neces-
sary to observe, although tho amateur
would never have heard Of them. They
concern chiefly the choice of subject. 1t
is theory OF managers that the most
successful plays have for their theme a
heroine loved by two men. The one she
loves it is impossible for her to marry be-
cause of some obstacle of race, war or family
opposition. But she does in the end get
the man of her heart. ESpei ience has
shown that the publit enjoys most plays
with this central situation, but few of the
young writer's would ever know that.

duce the great American playwright. This
genius may I've covered over somewhere
in his own piles of manuscript. But the
task Of digging him out is TOO difficult.
1t would not be worth the time and trouble
it would take, especially in view Of the fact
that the man who deserved 20 be dram
atist has never vet been kept down. He
has always managed to get to the top by
hook or crook.
"T am perfectly willing TO admit that l
don't know what advice to give the man

it is best for him to interest star in one of
his plays. Most of the younger dram
atists have come TO the front first in that
way Clyde Fitch got his chance by writ
ing Beau Brummer for Mansfield.
"We prefer 10 take the work of the dram
atist who has proved what he can do. Just
as we prefer to engage the most experienced
actors and scene painters. The dramatist
may have to struggle, hut when he gets to
the top he Is most literally rewarded. We
want him lust as much as he wants us.
But for tie sake Of finding him we cannot

SLANDER OVER TIE WIRE.
n Folks Butt In to Listen, Is That "fhe
Presence and Hearing Of Othcrs:'

MACON. Mo-, Aug. 25.--A new point Is
raised by suit filed in the Circuit Court
last Saturday. u. s. Farmer OF Hart,
treasurer Of the Lunday and Zion Tele-
phone Company demands Of B, r. Jenkins,
a stockholder, $500 demages for slander-
ing him over the wire. He expects to make
his case on the testimony of number Of
patrons along the line who had their tele-
phone receivers down TO hear what was
gong on.
This is the language the treasurer accuses
Jenkins Of addressing to him over the
wire:
you have squandered three or four
hundred dollars of the company's money,
and will mako you account for it at the
next meeting OF will go after your bonds
men,
He took pains to write the message down.
Tho petitioner saws the language was
slanderous in that it charged him in the
hearing of many of the patrons OF the line
with embezzng or stealing the funds of
the telephone company.
Under the law of SANDER the Offensive
language must be used "in the presence and
hearing of others" In this case it can only
be charged that it was in the hearing Of
