Will Give Reception.
Some evening next week the ladies
VIII give a reception to which the
people of the city will be invited. 1t
will be made a big affair and it will
be an enjoyable one. But no charge
will be made for admission nor will
anything in the nature of a contribu-
ton be asked at that time.
According to the ladies the idea of
the reception is to bring the people
together and to arouse a sentiment
in favor of the library. Before at
to secure any money for the
library the ladies first wish to create
a feeling in behalf of the movement
But they also have some money

URGENT NEED or MORE
GOLFERS is SHOWN.

Washington. Nov 2S--The possi-
bility of the Atlantic fleet lying weak
and helpless, owing to the lack of coal
was shown today in n report of Ad-
miral William Cowles, chief of the
bureau Of equipment, to the navy de-
partment.
The report says the fleet needs
more colllers. Had there been for
eign complications or a combination
o. foreign shipowners the fleet might
have remained helpless in some for
eign port. He says the development
of stations under the bureau should
be established in Washington and ul-
imately the Pacific coast, Hawaii

NO MORE MEN
NEEDED ON CANAL

Ancon, Canal Zone, Nov. 2S.-A
''No Help sign hangs over the Pan
anna canal zone today. The reason is
that the work on the big ditch has
passed the highest point, so far rs the
employment of men is concerned. The
present tendency is not to employ
more men, but to reduce the force,
Henceforth the work will be con-
fined largely to actual canal building,

Philadelphia. Nov 2S.-Philadel-
phia today lost its reputation as a
peaceful and quiet day and burst forth
in a veritable pandemonium of sound
and riot of color. The new color
scheme and the noise were supplied
principally by the thousands of in
vaders from other cities but even the
most staid of Philadelphians have
awakened and are betraying some
thing resembling enthusiasm. And 1t
f. an about a football game-the an
nual struggle for gridiron supremacy
between the Annapolis Naval academy
and the West Point military academy
which will be fought on the neutral
ground of Franklin field this after
noon.
A dark cloud of doubt hovers over
the issue of today's game and this
makes It only the more interesting for
the thousands of devotees of football
who are filling the Franklin field
grandstand to witness the memorable
battle. Both the army and navy teams
have shown up strong in some of
their games, while in others they
have come near TO defeat by the elev-
ems of minor colleges.
It appears evident that Franklin
Field will not be commodious enough
to hold the great throng of rooters
that is clamoring for admis-
sion. a great deal of disgust was
caused by the fact that a specuatorI
had secured II of the S2 boxes al
loted to the University of Pennsyl-
vania. Some of these boxes, it Isl
said. have been sold at fabulous
prices.
All Quakcrtown Celebrates.
All Quakertown turned itself loose
with all the fire, vim and fervor of a
little Coney Island today to greet the
husky. sturdy athletes from West
Point and Annapolis in their yearly
gridron struggle.
Patriotism is mixed in great big |
doses too, with the native love of foot
ball. and the two forces combined
form mixture that causes the old
town to froth and bubble with an ef-
fervesence that is surprising to the
casual visitor of less fervid other
days.
Quakertown wakes up the morning
after with a feeling of depression and
perhaps tngled with shame, but while
the fever is on. no city in the coun-
try can cut up more riotous capers.

WOULD SELL ROYAL ESTATE
Portuguese Demand That Treasury Be
Reimbursed.

Lisbon, June PA series Of stormy
debates in the Portuguese parliament
over financial advances to the royal
family has disclosed the fact that a
major portion Of the funds advanced
to the late King Carlos went to lift
the mortgages which King LUZ had
placed upon the Braganza estates be-
fore his death. Finance Ministers1Es-
pregueira has been forced to admit
that while minister of finance in the
Castro cabinet in 1904-5 he advanced
much money for this purpose upon
the solemn promise of King Carlos to
refund in annual installments from the
revenue of the estates. AS none of
this money, amounting to 100000, has
ever appeared in the governments
financial statements the Republicans
and the other opposition parties
charge that for years past the govern
ment's statements have been nothing
more than a farce. Strong language
has been used in the denunciation of
Minister Espregueira, who is termed
q public pilferer. The Republicans,
supported by the Independent news
papers, demand the sale Of the Bra
ganza estates in order that the treas
ury be reimbursed.

Pennyroysl and Flsas.

When it comes to talking about fleas

When he was BOY the country

Of the things he will remember longest
will be the sleepless nights and the tor
ments that the tleas gave him when
sitting in Quaker meetings, where he
did not dare to scratch. For many
years the people seemed to put up with
them as an evil from which there was
no escape, yet there was an efficient
remedy growing on every farm in the
shape of a modest little plant called
pennyroyal, which is familiar to every
country bred boy. The odor Of this
plant seems very offensive to many
kinds of insects. A freshly bruised
bunch of the plant put in a small bag

as the Samoans did. 1t was Louis

after his arrival in the country he ar
ranged for a reception to the English,
German and American residents Of the

vitation was sent Robert Louis Steven

Stevenson finds her other shoe. Ever

Ancient Fashion Jaruon.

The language Of the fashion plate
and the woman's paper is sufficiently
appalling to the mere man even In
these days Of emancipated and, we
may presume, more grammatical wom-
anhood; but according to an extract
from fashion journal of 1887, the jar
gon Of those days was even more as
founding. This is how the paper de-
scribed the dress Of certain Mile. D.
at the opera:
"she appeared in dress Of 'stihed
sighs,' ornamented with 'superhuous
regrets the bodice cut in perfect
candor point and trimmed with in.
discreet complaints Her hair was
dressed in sustained sentiments with
a headdress Of sustained conquest
ornamented with several 'fyaways'
and 'downcast eye ribbons, and her
collar was 'beggar on horseback color"
No doubt all these marvellous terms
conveyed some meaning to the fash
ionable woman Of the days when
French society danced on the edge Of
the volcano Of 1889, but to their de-
scendants of today they have abso-
lutely no meaning.

had very exciting trip. In addition
to being the target for rifle bullets
during the flight Mr.. Glidden and Mr..
Stevens landed in pasture where
young bull was confined The animal
charged the aeronauts after they had
stepped from the basket and they were
forced to run at top speed and hur-

While passing over the northeast
corner of Brattleboro, VT, the gas bag
was struck by two rifle bullets The
bullets glanced off, however, without
penetrating the silk covering, but the
course of the bullets was indicated
plainly by two dark colored streaks
across the covering.

Pittsburg, June 22.-Reports from
Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio
and West Virginia are slowly reaching
here, showing that the damage from
the two recent severe storms will
amount to over 100000. About ten
persons were injured, none fatally.
The first storm centered about Buff
falo Bills Wild West show and as
thousands of persons were pouring
into the big tent the wind struck the
canvas. In a moment poles were
blown down and the canvas, greatly
damaged, collapsed, demolishing a Sec
ton of the seats. Pandemonium
reigned and serious panic seemed
inevitable. Colonel Cody ordered the
band to play and my Country, Ills
of Thee" tended to quiet the crowd.
Two persons were injured.
About ten minutes later the damage
was repaired temporarily and the
show was given.
