HARLAN FAMILY IS
HOLDING REUNION
Members From all Over the
United States Are Gath
ering Here Today.
AN ILLUsTRIoUs FAMILY
FIRST MEMBERS CAME 70 THE
NEW WORLD IN 1857 ONE
MEMsER TODAY ON THE su.
PREME COURT OF U. 8.

Descendants Of George and Michael
Harlan who in 1887 emmigrated to
Pennsylvania from ireland, are hold
ing their annual reunion today and
tomorrow at Glen Miller park. The
family is one Of the most illustrious
in the United States, also one OF the
largest. and it was expected that be-
tween one and two hundred members
would be present today.
Perhaps the most illustrious member
OF the family is John NJ. Harlan, an
associate justice Of the supreme court
of the United States. He will be un-
able to attend, but N. v. Harlan Of
York. Neb., who for several years was
United States district attorney in
Alaska, expected to be here, He is the
president OF the national association
of the Harlan family which was form.
ed in a park in Philadelphia in 1887,
the two hundredth anniversary of the
landing of George and Michael Har-
Ian.
First in Ten Years.
For ten years the family has not
held its annual gathering. chiefly be.
cause its president was in Alaska.
Upon his return from that country
which was necessitated because OF
snow blindness, he was in such poor
health that he could not arrange for
a reunion until this year.
The reunion here today and tomor.
row is the third Of national associa-
tion which has been held in Glen Mil.
Ter park. The other reunions have
been held In various parts of the coun.
try. The family now includes ssvaral
branches. and Is well represented in
this section Of Indiana, Iowa. Illinois
Pennsylvania and in the southern
states. There are several families liv.
ing in the vicinity of Bethel.
Perhaps no family has its family his
tory in more complete detail than
this. A. H. Harlan of Burlington, is
secretary, and also family genealogist
He has visited every branch and has q
complete record which is Of great in
terest and value to the family. The
program for today included recep
tion of the incoming guests at the Ar.
lington and then at the Glen where
the picnic dinner was served.
During the afternoon an informal
program was carried out including re
marks by different members of the as
sociation. This evening the family
will gather at the home of Mrs. Eliz.
abeth Lupton, 208 North Fourteenth
street. Those from q distance who
had arrived early this morning includ
ed Mrs. Frank Bateman OF Glenoak
New Jersey, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
w. Harlan of Richmond, Va, and sew.
eral from nearer points in Ohio. In.
diana and Illinois. The association
will adjourn tomorrow afternoon with
the election of officers for the ensuing
year.

PLACE FOR Washers
Men Who Insult Women Find
Post Office a Popular
Place to Loaf.
NO PROTECTION AFFORDED

ALLOW me to stamp your letters"
said well groomed young man at the
postofhce yesterday to a young wom-
an to whom he was a total stranger.
The masher's. little bow and polite ad-
dress might ordinarily have met with
some favor at Uncle Sans educational
institution for lovers. but on this oc-
casion the girl just looked and-well
that was sall that was necessary.
Afterwards, as she was leaving the
postoflice. she said to her companion.
They must take me for matrimonial
prospect"
The postonice Is perhaps the most
popular headquarters for mashers In
the city, and although they have prov.
ed annoying to many young women.
the authorities have taken no action to
protect them from insults.
