Found Dead.
A GUEST

On Sabbath morning last the
news that Mrs. Isaac Bumgardner
had been found dead in her home
on Main street was quite IA shock
to the community. Mrs. Bum
gardner had not been well for some
time, and recently was quite indis-
posed. On Saturday evening she
appeared considerably worse, and
her son William remained with
her until . o'clock on Sabbath
morning, when she insisted on his
going home, saying that she felt
much better and wanted to sleep.
Mr.. Lewis Clevenger and family
live in the same house, and in the
morning, not hearing any noise in
Mrs. BIS part called her, and re-
ceiving no response opened the
door of her room and found her
lying on the floor dead.
The funeral took place on Mon
day afternoon, conducted by Rev.
A q. Wolf, assisted by DIR. West.
Interment in the Lutheran grave
yard. Her age was about 81 years.

BEAUTY OF THE NEW DOME.
Twelve Hundred Lamps Will illuminate
lis EXQUISITE COIors.

Within few weeks twelve hun
dred incandescent electric lights
will be gllmmering at night about
the great dome of The new State
House at Harrisburg. These hun
dreds of lights will be so set that
they will illuminate the magnifi-
cent mural decorations to the best
advantage. The eyes of the spec.
tator will not be annoyed by any
binding glare, for the most part
they will be entirely concealed.
1t Is beyond the power of the
average pen to describe the beau
ty Of the dome. Nothing in Penn
sylvania can well be compared
with it. 1t must be seen to be
appreciated and after seeing 1T
once the viewer must return
again and again to fully appre-
clate It's great Splendor.
1t is hard to analyze. At first
glance it Is one great mass of gar
net and crimson and blue and
green and cream-all charged
with gold. Closer analysis shows
spread eagles, gargoyles, heads
of Ceres fanked by horns of plen-
ty, fleur de lis and conventional
desIgns-all set each in it's proper
place with such nice proportion
that the size of the whole thing is
lost to the observer. 1t Is only
when one begins to compare the
work with his insignificant self
that the true magnitude of the
decorations is revealed.
Upon huge frleze which runs
around the dome on a level with
the legislative cham bers are two
quotations from William Penn S
msny famous utterances 'SThere
May Be Room There For Such A
Holy Experiment" and "F'or The
Nations Want A Precedent"
Even painted as thev are in
huge capital letters many inches
in height, these sentences do not
seem to be composed OF extraor-
dinarily large letters, so perfect
Is the proportion of every bit of
the decorations. 1t is the same
way with all of the many indivld
ual bits of decorative work which
go to make up the mural beauty
of the dome.

of the chaotic mass. The rocks
are of a silver gray color which
fact gives name to Silver Gate
Well might 1t be called gate for
the silvery rocks extend high on
both sides of the nar row passage.
The next beauty and wonder
to meet our eye was the Golden
Gate, precipl Gus gorge between
Sepulchle Mountain and Bunsen
Peak. This gate is short, strik-
ing rugged, yellowish canyon. If
there is a place in the park that
should be called inspiration point
1T Is the road through the canyon.
The sides of the rocky walls
rise 200 to 300 feet above the road
way and possibly 600 to 800 feet
below while the width is not more
than 100 feet.
My friend and l were sitting
with the driver upon the boot that
day and as we looked down over
the preclplce 1t made us hold our
breath for the horses were trot-
ting carelessly along and if they
were to make a misstep or STUN,
BILE, woe to the ones IN the coach.
The government has spent
many thousands of dollars to
make this canyon passable. In
so dong 1t was necessary to con-
struct a viaduct of steel and con-
crete at one point at an expense
of $4,000. At the west end of
this gate IS the charming Rustic
Falls which adds to the beauty of
the spot. The fall is 60 feet over
series of shallow basins worn
INTO the dark moss covered ledge,
disappearing beneath the rock de-
posted in the canyon from the
construction of the road way. A
few minutes later weemerge from
the canyon and Swan Lake BASIN
is reached. Here Electric Peak
and the Gallatin Range are pres.
ented to our view. Mt. Holmes,
Quanrant, Bell and other snow
covered peaks of the GalIatlns
make a beautiful sight as seen
from the road.
Continuing our journey W.
reach Appolinaris Sprlng, here
the coaches stop and tourists d,s
mount to drink Of the refreshing
beverage 80 plentlfully supplied
here by nature.

careful selection and breeding of

for if the teacher is not giving
satisfaction 10 his patrons, he will
not be long in finding that fact
out.
The response to Mr.. Sipes' ad-
dress, was delivered by Prof. Gil.
bert G. Mellott, OF Webster Mills.
Mr.. Mellott said that the teach
ers had no reason to feel that they
were not welcome body in Ful.

greeting that they always receiv-
ed at the hands of our citizens;
the attendance upon the exercis.
es of every session of the instl-
tute; the enthusiasm shown in
educatlonaladvancementall all went
to prove that the teachers were
truly welcome visitors to McCon-
nellsburg. Mr.. Mellott then re.
ferrsd to the responsibility rest
ing upon the teacher; for, said he,
more than one third of the entire
population of Fulton county, is in
the direct care of the teachers of
the county. He urged with earn.
estness the importance of making
the best possible use of this

the eighty-four teachers present,
Mr.. Meliott said that but SIX were
in the county institute twelve
years ago at the time he was at.
tending his first, thus calling at
tention to the rapidlty in which
the whole corps of teachers may
be expected to change.
After the institute had joined
heartily in the singing of piece
of music, Prot. w. M. Rife, of the
q. V. S. N. S., took up the sub
ject ''The Teacher. Prof. Rife
needed no introduction to the
teachers of this county, as he has
been doing very acceptable work
in the institutes here for several
years. In answer to the ques-
tion put by Prof. Rife, "lhe
Teacher Who Is He 2" Prof.
Rife said the teacher is a scholar,
the teacher is a student, and the
teacher possesses culture. The
teacher is a skilled laborer and is
the main factor in the school-the
main factor 1. Because the
teacher holds the pupil to indus
try and hard work. .. The pro-
gress of the school depends upon
the teacher. 3. Because Of per.
sonal character,
"Love Your Work" was the
basis of talk by Dr.. Byron w.
King. AS a lecturer and instl-
tute instructor, DR.. King is a past
master. He mas been IN every
county in the State, either IN the
capacity of lecturer, or institute
instructor-or both, and would
have been in this county at an
earlier date, but men of the Doc
tors caliber cost more money
than the average county surerln
tendent has been Wiling to risk.
His talk was, of course, enter
tanning, but bristling with points
of the most practical and helpful
nature.
Monday evening DR.. King lee.
tured to a full house, and every
one that heard it, voted 1T first

THE STRIKE APPARENTLY FAILED.
Workmen On State House Annex
Did Not Quit.

The strike call issued by the Struc-
tural Trades Alliance of this city yes
terday calling off all nnion men from
the State House job, both on the an
mex and the restoration of the old Sem
ate Chamber, had little if any effect
upon the work
This morning the usual force was
still on and the same electricians re-.
mained on their job according to Su-
perintendent O. 4. Mooney, of the
q. w. Walther Co. These men, ac-
cordiDg to Mr.. Mooney, were two
Baltimoreans who have been ON the
Job for some time sThe other laborers
and workmen employed on the job
were also at work today and so far as
could been seen there was no falling
off in the number of workmen EN-
ployed.
The local union of electricians met
last night at Union Hall, over The
Hub on Market Space, but after the
meeting which was the regular session
of the body. there was nothing given
to the press or public of the proceed
ings. A member of the union was
asked what had been done and replied
that there was nothing for publica-
tion. The strike call seems therefore
to have failed signally.
