COLLECTION OF BACK
TAXES GOES MERRILY ON

1t may be a surprise to many to
know that as the result of the work
OF the board of review and of the tax
ferrets, something like $4,000 in back
taxes have been collected in this coun-
ty up to date. And the procession of
people who want to avoid trouble is
still marching on to the county
clerks and putting up the amount
claimed.
Lawyers who have been advising
clients that these back taxes are I'M
coIectablc have, it is said, begun to
change their minds, and some of
them are now advising the prompt
payment of the claims.
Taxes are being brought in extend
ing back as far as those for the year
1892, which should have been paid in
1898, 10 years ago.

FOR WINTER WORK
Salvation Army Asks Aid of the
People of The
Country.
FALL FESTIVAL Is. IN PROGRESS
Special Season Of Thanksgiving
Gifts that are Accept
able.

There is probably no section of the
class, which the influence of the Sal
walton Army has not in enc way or
another peFmeated, never ceasing its
work, adapting itself to all times
seasons and places. 1t has converts,
lovers and friends in probably every
town and village throughout the land.
Thus it is that, be the season what
it may, be the army's seaSonable eff
forts what they may, there is always
throughout the country an interest
quick to respond. While the cold of
winter and early spring are with us
we hear of the army's opera tions in
supplying coal, clothing and susie
nance to the wretchedly poor; when
the summer is under way we learn of
the noble charities in the shape of
fresh-air camps, outings, excursions.
and the like, as also of the penny ice
wagons; then with the coming of fall
comes the annual harvest festival, the
years last special effort until that
huge Christmas dinner begins to loom
up.
Now comes the harvest festival. the
dates of which are set for Oct. 3 to
16, inclusive, and for the celebration
of which the local corps has made APP
propriate preparation. The charac-
ter of this annual event is too well
known by this time to require any
definition. 1t is, in fact, a special
season of Thanksgiving and yielding
to God for His use in the army any
thing and everything that may have
either pecuniary value or practical
utility.

CARS ARE SCARCE
Much Complaint Over Siowness
of Railways in Moving
Freight.
ALL ARE SIMILARLY AFFECTED
Recent Heavy Addition TO Equip
ments are Not SufIi-
cient.

The car shortage problem is again
attracting the attention of the rail
roads in all parts of the country. Not
withstanding that liberal orders were
given for equipment for use during
the present season many of the roads
complain that they are unable to han
die all the freight offered because of
a shortage of cars.
One of the big trunk line officials
states that his company could use
1, 500 cars daily in addition to it's pres
ent equipment and several other roads
are making similar complaint. In the
Pittsburg district alone $50 cars are
being loaded daily with structural
iron and steel for export and more
than 1000 cars for home distribution.
Vice President Brown of the Lake
Shore says there is great activity in
the movement of merchandise and
commodities in all parts of the coun-
try, and the railroads are unable to
handle the traffic in spite of the fact
that they supposed their orders for
additional equipment were sufficient
to meet the demand. The trouble lies
in the fact that the railroads could
not afford to invest Il great sum of
money i'm equipment which would be
idle during the greater portion of the
year.
Milwaukee stores Coal.

that before the beginning of cold

In the vote which determined the case

PHILHARMONIC CONDUCTORS.
Richard strauss. Motif. Wood and Vein
sartner Said to Have Been Hired.

Francis Hyde, who preceded Andrew
Carnegie as the president Of the Philhar-
monte Society. is now in London. and is
working with Richard Arnold to find a
conductor who will help the society to re-
cover it's lost prestige. Yesterday the
news reached here that Mr., Hyde had en-
gagged for the Philharmonic concerts
four distinguished foreign conductors to
direct them. These are said to be Richard
Strauss. Felix Motif. Henry Wood, the
London conductor and Felix Weingartner.
Richard Strauss has also been engaged
bv H. H. Wetzler to conduct some of his
compositions at the Wet zler concerts.
One Of the directors Of the Philharmonic
told Sun reporter last night that no notice
of these enga gements had been SEM. to
the society, but that the entire matter had
been left In the hands of Messrs. Hyde and
Arnold, who were to do what seemed best
for the interests of the society.
"The mpossibility of engaging famous
conductor for the orchestra this member
said, "has probably led the two gentlemen
now abroad in our interest to combine on
several men, who will make the season in
teresting. 1t has been possible to engage
them because they are also to come here

TO STORE ANTHRACITE COAL.
Mining Companies Plan to Accumulate
10000, 900 Tons This Summer.

PorrsvILLE. Pa. June lO.-The anthra-
cite coal mining companies are planning
to keep the miners steadily at work during
the dull summer months and store hard
coal in enormous quantities. More than
II. 600, 900 tons are to be accumulated. and
this supply is not to be touched when the
fall trade sets in but will be allowed to re-
main as a reserve in case Of strikes. The
companies will then be able to supply the
public with coal for some time whenever
the miners suspend work and will not be
caught unsupplied as they were last
year.
One-half OF the entire amount. or s, 900 900
tons, will be stored by the Reading COM
pany and work has already begun in en-
larging its storage yards in this county.
As a counter move the miners may decide

A MYSTERY OF THE SOUND.
Small Boat Cast on Beach-The Man Who
Sailed in II Missing.

NoRTHPoRT, l., l.. June l0.-A battered
and abandoned sailboat, cast upon the
shores Of Eaton's Neck some time yester-
day morning, told mute story of disaster
Of some sort which was partially verified
later in the day when three young men of
Norwalk, Conn, arrived here in search of
news of Charles Johnson "a years old, who
left Norwalk on Sunday night in small
sail boatb bound for Belle Island.
One of the searching party was brother
Of the missing man. He identified the
boat cast up on Eaton's Neck as the craft
in which the missing man started off on
his lonely sail,
The painter Of the boat was short and
had been recently cut with knife. This
led the searching party TO connect this
boat with small yacht, the Defiance, which
was found beached on the shore near Bluff
Point.
The Defiance was stolen from her moor
ings on Sunday night, and was found yes
terday by her owner and others, who were
searching for her in steamers. 1ndica-
tions tended to show that the Defiance
had been run up on the shore and hastily
abandoned. 1t is thought that the pirates
had good reason for getting away quickly.
There il a belief that young johnson
was picked up in the Sound by the fleeing
crew Of the Defiance, who first took his
boat in tow but, later. because Of stress Of
weather or for some other reason, cut the
boat adrift
