THE GUARD INVITED
TO INAUGURATION

The National Guard of Pennsylvania,
through Governor Pennypacker, its
commander in chief, has been invited
as body to participate in the cere-
monies attendant on the inauguration
OF President Roosevelt as President, in
Washington, on the 4th Of March. The
matter of accepting the invitation was
taken up by Governor Pennypacker
and Adjutant General Stewart, Tues-
day, but no definite action was taken,
and a conclusion Will not be reached
until next week.
Whether the Guard will go as a
whole, or whether a provisional bri-
gade will be formed, are matters to be
settled at future meeting, if it is de-
termined that Pennsylvania shall be
representa- by her military. For many
years Pennsylvania has sent her
Guardsmen to honor the inaugural &C.
oasion, and always with pride, but at
the last Inauguration some of the
Guardsmen considered that a slight
was put upon Pennsylvania by the
people of Washington in blaming them
for the misconduct of troops from 9th
er States, and Pennsylvania was made
to pay for damage that was not done
by her troops
Then. too, the PennsylvaD troops
have been sneered at by residents of
Washington al l they re not in mood
to invite that sort of treatment again.
As a matter of f,ct the sentiment
against going to Washington to march
in the inaugural parade prevails gen.
orally in the Guard, and it is possible
that this is being considerd by the
Governor and his military advisors.

Another Victim of Icy Sidewalks

Another accident resulting from
treacherous sidewalks occurred Tues
day afternoon when Uriah Grove, of
80 Vine street, fell on the snow cover
ed ice, breaking his nose and severely
cutting his forehead.
Mr.. Grove was walking on Pine
street between Walnut and Lower Null
berry when the accident occurred.
There is quite steep grade at this
point. and this. together with the fact
that the icy spots were hidden from
view by the recent snow fall, was PC
countable for the accident No one
saw the man fall, but Simon Hoffman
happened TO be passing soon after, and
noticed that Mr. Grove was injured.
Mr.. Hoffman assisted him to DR..
Paules' drug store where the fracture
was reduced.

Work at Undergrade Crossing.

Notwithstanding inelement weather
and other drawbacks, Contractor Rog-
ers has been making fairly good pro-
gres at the underRrada crossing this
week. The conci 3 Q piers have reach
cd height of about 7 feet, and are
steadily growing.
Regarding the durability Of these
piers many doubtful expressions are
heard. Opinions are based on the fact
that the work is being done in the
winter. when everything is against the
solidity and durability of concrete.

How Women Are Robbed.
cago Record Herald.

FROM lhe ChlcagO record Herald.
Half the thefts that women charge to
pickpockets,' said the reformed burglar,
are not thefts at all, but simply cases Of
loss from their own carelessness. Don't
tell them that L said So though, for I've
had enough blame to bear in my day; but
thats the truth. If woman goes home
ana makes a hullabaioo about being rob-
bed she gets more sympathy, but let her
say sDe lost her money and she has to
shoulder the whole responsibility and be
round fault with into the bargain"
But what becomes of the pocketbooks
and purses? They are not going off of
themselves
Iheir owners losefthem without knowing
II. Ihey lay them down or drop them, and
they are picked UP by somebody who
doesn't run around looking for the person
they belong to-. Here is a case in point. A
woman seated herself before a bargain
counter piled with remnants of silk. After
turning over a fewTpieces she felt some
thing 1all into her lap. and picked up fat
Ieather pocketbook. -
Hello, she saysat there's purse. 1t
looks as II 1t had lot OF money in it," and
she handed 1t to thes clerk, who laid 1t on a
shelr back of him and said he would send
IL 10 the lost and feiind department.
When the woman had found the goods
she wanted and went to take her pocket
book out of her reticule 1t wasn't there, and
you ought to have heard her squeal. She
declared she had 1t when she sat down to
the counter But it was gone, sure enough.
"A store detective was sent for, and he
asked ner few questions. He was friend
OF mine. and he told me the story. Then
ne asked to see the purse she had found,
and lt>turned out to be her own. She had
laid 1t down the first thing, and when 1T
fell into her lap she was SO surprised she
didn't recognize It.
And really think that She hated to adj
nit that she hadn't been robbed

Strange Pension Fraud of Kansan.

FROM the Kansas City journal.
y movement is being made at Fort Scott
to secure the release of Joseph Eller. an
aged man of lola who is serving time in
the county jail because of his inability to
pay fine of $1,000 imposed by the federal
court The case OF Eller is one of the most
curious that the federal authorities have
ever had to deal with.
Many years ago he was given a pension
for service in the civil war. Finally II was
discovered that he had never been in the
war at all. but had been represented by O
substitute to whom he paid 500. The story
as he confessed it during the trial, was
that he had enlisted and was waiting Or
ders to GO to the front with his regiment
when he was told of sickness at his home.
Things were running at rather loose ends
about the camp. and he had no trouble in
Hiring man to stand up and answer to his
name at the roll calls. When the regiment
was ordered to the front Eller. had not re-
turned. and the substitute went in his place
taking his name and serving for four years
without revealing the substitution, finally
being mustered out as Joseph Eller.
In an evil moment. the substitute being
dead. 1t occurred to Eller that he could get
a pension. He did so without trouble. But
In court ne declared he only intended to
take 1t until he had reimbursed himself tor
the 800 which he paid TO his substitute.

Handling Aluminium.

From the Scientific American.
Aluminium-tln alloys have been expert
mented with by Il. S. Shepherd journal
Physical Chemistry. Between 10 and 50
per cent aluminium. the author found that
an increase of aluminium was always ac-
companied by a rise OF freezing point BY
Of the molten alley containing Is per cent
aluminium. in some cases with small per-
centage of lead added, 1t is shown that
there is no tendency to separation into two
liquid layers.
From analyses of alloys of aluminium and
tin with silver the author believes that a
solid solution does exist. From the curve
of specific volumes. from the microstruct-
ure and from the thermal measurements,
the author concludes that 20 per cent tin
is the limiting concentration of tin in alum
inIum.

Wage earners, though sasing little. art
