COMPOSITE PICTURE.
Faces Of Twenty Men of Importance
In One Illustration.
Average Age Is Nearly sixty, But the
Composite Is in Its Prime, So
Far as Active Effort IL
Concerned.

The American whose portrait is
shown herewith is 20 men. But each
one OF the 20 is to-day in his prime,
working with unimpaired vigor and
with superbly developed faculties at
the problems Of civilization which still
remain unsolved. Taken collectively,
they represent the typical American,
TO whose marvellous ability the glory
of the epoch is due.
Their counterfeit presentments have
been grouped in composite picture,
says the Kansas City Star, to show,
as well as facial expression may, the
personal traits that make the typical
American what he is.
Three of the group are three OF the
richest men on earth, not by inherit
ance OF by the use of despotic power,
such as has been used by monarchs
of all time TO wiring tribute from un-
willing subjects, but by sheer business
ability. Two of them rank among the
highest governors of earth, presi-
dent and an ex-president Of the United
States.
One Of them won a great naval bat
, tie.
One Is head of the concern which
does the largest dry goods business of
any one concern in the world.
One is ranked as sculptor and one
as an artist in oils, whose work is not
for the generation, but for all time.
One is a recognized leader of the
transportation business of the coun-
try, the president Of the Great North
ern system.
One is the engineer who built the
highest viaduct on earth-jn Veragua,

RURAL DELIVERY ROUTES
Will no Longer be Held up Cost to be chara-
ed Against Next Years Appropriation.

The temporary suspension OF the
establishment of rural free delivery
routes owing to the discovery Of a
deficit in the appropriation for the
present fiscal year will come to an end
this week. This is by the Presidents
orders a ter consultation with Post
master General Payne. The appro-
pria,ion for this year was $7,520.ooo,
to which Congress added $500, 900
for deficiency created during the
early part of the year. On the first OF
May, according to statements furnish
ed by Postmaster General Payne a
few days later, the appropriation was
exhausted and deficit of upward Of
$4,000 had been made.
The establishment of further rural
routes was stopped in order that there
might be no large deficiency to take to
Congress. The Postmaster General
said he was determined to make the
service businesslike and keep within
bounds. He even tired to wipe out
deficiency of $4,000. A few days
later it was found that the deficiency
was really $Ia1,ooo.
In view of these conditions, it has
been expected there would be no
more new work done in the line of
establishing routes until the beginning
of the next fiscal wear.
An appeal to the President was
made from the business men of
Chicago and other Western cities that
the order be revoked, Notwithstanding
that the appropriation was exhausted,
and that the new routes be charged up
to next years business The matter
has been under consideration for
several days, and it has now been de-
cided not to postpone until July the
establishment of the many routes that
have been passed on by inspectors
and now ready to be put in operation.
The whole number is somewhere in
the nelghborhood of 25oo, covering
the work of the rural free delivery
division for the past two months and
half. 1t is not likely that the whole
number will be set ln operation before
July I, but beginning Monday they
will be ordered at a livelier pace than
usual during times of ordinary dis
patch of business. The FIRST batch Of
routes recommended for installation
was sent to Fourth Assistant Bristow
from the Rural Free Delivery Division
Saturday, and were acted on the first
of the week.

A Ghastly swindle.

A number of exchanges give warn
ing of a ghastly swindle now being
worked in this State. Soon after the
death of person, a small package,
addressed to the deceased, is received
by the relatives of the family. The
package is shipped c. o. d., and the
charges are from $a.5o up. Some
times the package bears a printed
slip upon which it is stated that the
contents are gold ring. In most
cases members of the decedent's
family think he had ordered the ring
just before his death, and pay the
charges. When examined by jewe-
Ter the ring is pronounced to be OF
the class sold at retail for fifty cents a
dozen.

desirous of presenting to their alma
mater a statue of the patriot, himself
graduate Of that university, of the
class of 177S.
The statue, which is of heroic size,
represents the young patriot on his
way to the scaffold. His head is held
high and in his eyes is the expression of
a man who is oblfvious to the jeers of
the mob gathered to witness the exc
cution of spy.
In his original sketch of the statue
Mr.. Partridge had his figure standing
at the foot Of the scaffold. That it was
changed to its present state-that of
a forward motion, suggesting action
without fatiguing the eye is due to
beautiful thought of Phillips Brooks.
He was looking at the first sketch in
the sculptor's studio one day when he
said that "a man does not remain all
his life at university, but passes on
to something higher and more worthy
of his powers" and so the suggestion
Of motion in the figure typifies that
thought as well as the story Of the pa
triot's heroism. Since no portrait of
Hale exists, Mr.. Partridge built up his
ideal of the face in a manner that is
an evidence Of the thoroughness with
which he works. Acting on the princi-
pie that men of one epoch bear a gen.
eral resemblance to one another, he
studied the colonial type faithfully,
and used in connection with this type
the mask Of Yale student who was
much after Hale's manner of thought
and purpose in life. The statue is Of
bronze and will be mounted on pedes-
tai three feet six inches high. The
cost will be about $4,000.

Good Lesson for n boy.

In New York city, Justice Mayer
recently gave a good lesson to an
eight-year-old street urchin, who was
arraigned before him for the crime
of throwing stones. The boy admit
ted the charge. and said he thought
II was fun to see the horses jump
when he hit them. The justice order
ed the lad to be taken into the court
yard SO that big boy might throw
stones at him. The little fellow broke
down and cried. "The stones will
hurt me-" he said. This gave the
Justice the desired chance to draw
the obvious moral, and, exacting q
premise that no more stones bc
thrswS, he discharged the boy.

The Man Who Butts In.

Unfortunately the rebuffs which he
receives do not in the least discourage
him. He escapes the fool killer with
facility which almost justifes the be-
lief that he is under the protection OF
a special providence. He continues
to "butt in" everywhere, giving un-
sought advice, administering impert-
inent reproof, obtruding his opinions
and wishes where they are not wanted,
making nuisance of himself from
early dawn to dewy eve. Still he
"butts IN" and will continue to "butl
in" until the end of time, for God
hath made him so.

GETTYSBURG.
Forteth Anniversary Of the Great Battle.

Forty years ago the citizens OF
Pennsylvania were anxiously waiting
TO see what fortune the chances of
war would allot them. At that time
everything looked bad for the Union
forces, but the events of the next few
days, eliminating in the Historic Bat
tie of Gettysburg, virtually declared
"The Union one and indivisible."
1t is claimed by many historians
that this battle fought July Ist, cd
and sd, 1863, was the critical, decl-
sive engagement of the contest, and
the "high water mark" showing the
extreme point reached by Pickett's
Virginians in their famous charge, is
in reality the high water mark in the
tide of the rebellion. Thereafter 1t
was all ebb tide with the Southern
cause.
To accommodate visitors during
the Anniversary days, the Philadelphia
& Reading Railway has arranged to
sell Excursion Tickets from all ticket
offices in Pennsylvania at rate OF
single fare for the round trip. Tickets
for sale and good going June goth to
July sd inclusive and good to return
until July 9th inclusive.

FARM LABoRERs ARE WELL PAID.
State Figures Show That Pennsylvania Help
Is Best Rewarded Of Any State.

Farm wages in Pennsylvania as
shown by the crop report issued by
the Agricultural Department are away
and above those paid in any other
State IN the Union. The wages Of
farm laborers in the Summer. time
runs from eighty five cents up to
$I.as per day, with board included.
BY the day without board the men
who earn their living by the sweat of
their brow receive from $I.Io to So
per day, u salary that is paid by few
farmers in other States. Labor by
the month when board is of course
ircluded is worth from $t4 to $a8,.
the amount ranging between the two
figures in different counties. Della
ware, Elk and Erie counties pay the
largest wages for farm labor, as stats
tics 70 he Agricultural Department
show.
Female help with board per week
runs from $r.a5 to So. This kind C
labor is little sought after though b.,
the extensive farmers. Statistics show
that farm land is worth from $40 to
$40 per acre in different counties of
the State. In Potter county the
average price for the land is $40 per
acre, the lowest average Of any of the
counties. Chester county's land is
worth on an average of $40 per acre,
the highest price of any of the land in
the State. In Dauphin county LAND is.
sold on an average of $40 per acre,
and farm labor is worth $I45 year
including board or ST. day without
board.
The aggregate wages OF the farm
laborer, taking the whole country, is
about So per month with his board.
In the South for instance, where
many negroes are employed on the
farms, the highest paid man only re-
ceives about six or seven dollars a
month. Negro women work for
twenty. five cents a day and in some
instances receive only twenty cents.
In commenting on the number of the
colored race that are gradually drift
ing North of their own accord or
being sent here by employment agen-
cies, Southern paper says that wages
are higher in Pennsylvania, but the
laborer has to do double the work.
"For intance," says the paper, "where
Northern family of wealth employ
two servants to attend to the duties
around the house, a Southern family
of equal means would have four.
The four, however, might not be paid
an amount in excess of what the two
are paid in the North. Pennsylvania
pays better wages for her help, but
she expects more work for tie salary,
concludes the paper.
An employment agency in Rich
mond, Va, has within the past year
sent to the North, and Pennsylvania
got the most of them, in the neighbor.
hood of one thousand colored women.
Over five hundred colored men have
also found employment In this section
of the country. Many remain here
and become good citizens, but the
majority drift back to the Southern
States, purchase little farm and set
tie down to life of ease.

HUSSARS CLUB ROOMS
WILL BE IMPROVED.
With Funds from Baznar Club VIII
Beautify and Refurnish Its Quar-

With Funds from Bazaar Club VIII
Beautify and Refurnish Its Quar-
ters.
With the funds realized from the
bazaar given last March, the Execu-
tive Committee of the Hussars Club
have commenced extensive improve
ments on the interior of the club.
The rooms will all be furnished and
repapered at a cost of about $1,000, and
a number of changes will be made in
the interior arrangement and appoint
ments.
Already the work of Improvement
has been begun. The large basement
room under the armory, which has not
been used for several years, has been
renovated and remodeled and trans
formed into a spacious billiard and
pool parlor. The partition has been
removed, so that the entire portion of
the building under the armory is made
into one large hall. This is most con-
venient to the members, since the
bowling alleys and the billiard par
lors are thrown close together.
Ihe CIuD Library.
The billiard parlors We're formerly on
the second floor, and were, therefore,
rather inaccessible to the other parts
of the club. The long room will now
be used as a library and sitting room.
1t will be finished off in light colors,
and furnished with new furniture and
fittings throughout. The club has re-
Gently added to it's library a depart
ment of fiction, having been started on
a nucleus donated by the president.
The new rooms will be quieter and
better adapted for use as library.
The reading room, which is at pres
ent the rear room on the Bull street
side, will be used as a second parlor
as soon as the library has been re-
moved. New furniture, with the eX-
ception of the big leather lounging
rockers will be placed in these rooms,
and the walls repapered in rich colors.
other improvements.
Repairs have already been made on
the rear piazzas, the one facing the
horse shoe in the rear having been en-
closed. The hall ways and other rooms
will also be improved. and when the
work of renovating and refurnishing is
finished, the interior of the club will
present an entirely different and less
somber appearance.
The bowling season will be formally
opened tomorrow evening at o'clock
New pins have been purchased. and
now that the alley has been made more
spacious, it is probable that the num-
Der of devotees of the popular sport
will be increased.
1t is probable that the contract for
furnishing the club rooms will be given
to a Savannah firm. The contract for
decorating, which in itself amounted
to more than $1,000, has been let to
