a movement is on foot to purchase chemi-
cal engine. which will be put into service
pending the arrival of help from the city.
While looking over the effects of her
late husband, Mrs. Frederick Pfeffer, of
High street, ran across two old papers,
both of which are over a hundred years
old. One of them, 1.-THE Gazette of the
United States" bearing the date April
Goth, to May O. 1889, contains the inaugu-
ration in New York Of George Washing
ton, First President of the United States.
1t gives description Of that important
event In the early establishment of the
the young Republic that appears very
tame compared with the rather detailed,
more gorgeous and rather lurid account
contained in the more recent inaugurations
of the heads of the country, especially the
account that we have recently read of the
last Inauguration. A rather unique and
true wood cut of the father of the Repub-
lie adorns the front page. The paper was
printed by John Femme, SO Williams street,
New York. 1t sold for pence. The
publication was a forerunner of the
present Congressional Record. The other
paper, THE Ulster County Gazette, !" was
printed at Kingston. Ulster County, New
York, by Samuel Freer, January 4th. 1900.
1t contains an account of the death OF
Washington on December 18th, 1893, and
the action that was taken In Congress re-
garding that SAT event and accounts OF
the sad news that peryaded the nation.
The entire paper has border of black
surrounding each page. The paper con-
tanned numerous accounts of the various
battles that had lately been fought In
Europe, the news of which had been
brought here by sailing ships. Both
papers are In an excellent state of preser-
walton, being as white and readable as
any paper of the present age.

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE

Following the first week in March, at
this favorite playhouse, and beginning
yesterday, the popular organization the
Orpheum Players, will produce one of the
best comedies of the present day called
1.-THE Senator" generally conceded to be
the best work of the writers, David D.
Lloyd and Sidney Resented. The play
proved the strongest of the repertoire of
the well-known artist, William H. Crane,
and the forthcoming presentation is the
first given by the players.
Though the title might lead one to
believe it political in theme, it concerns
many whose welfare is carried 10 happy
elimination through Senator Rivers.
The characters include beside the Senator,
his associates in Office, many society
leaders, railway magnates, seekers for
appointments; beside an impressive fove
scene, full of bright lines, humorous stu
atoms and strong climaxes, running
through four acts in all, including some
fourteen characters. The stage will be
handsomely dressed and staged complete
in every detail.
success dramatized from the novel of
England's famous writer, Marie Correlli,
and called "Thelma," is to be given,
while for Easter week, the oath, 1.-THE
Man From Home" which served to fill
the Broad Street Theatre upwards of
twenty consecutive weeks last season is
to be given; to be followed the 3Ist with
Lewis. N. Parker's fascinating comedy
gem f'Pomander Walk" and later to
follow will be 1.-THE New Sin," ''The
Man on the Case, " "The Talker," ''The
Shaughraun," and others of absolute
merit and of the highest character of the
greatest authors of the present century.

BED Cedar For Pencils,

Missouri, particularly the Ozark nils,
furnishes the greater part of the wood
used In making lead pencils. Though
many other varieties have been tried.
none has proved as satisfactory as the
red cedar. The cedars grow ON the
rocky hillsides all through the White
river district of Missouri. They are
small, stunted trees. seldom reaching a
diameter of more than foot at the
butt. The logs are either hauled to the
railroad and sent to the mill or floated
In rafts down the river. At the mill
the logs are first cut lengthwise by cir
cular saws into planks. These are cut
into right lengths for lead pencils, and
those chunks go into the hands Of men
who with circular saws rip them up
into what are called stats" Only the
red heart of the log is used. The white
sapwood is thrown away. The stats
are bound In bundles and sent to New
York, where the greater part are work
ed up into lead pencils. and the remain
der goes to lead pencil factories In Ger

demonstrated and was knocked down.
Annungio made his escape, but officer
Higgins got busy and found the man
hiding in the cellar of grocery store

Third and Iron streets. He was placed
under arrest, given hearing and COM

MUCH interest is felt over the charges
which have been preferred against Gen.
e. B. Grubb. superintendent of the
Soldiers Home at Kearney. In this state.
The complaint is that there has been ex-
trayagance since Gen. Grub has been in
charge, that his private table has been
supplied with the choicest viands, while
the old soldiers have been compelled to
put up with an inferior quality of food.
Then it Is also charged that the General
has been buying too high a grade Of
whiskeY. the most of which was consumed
by himself and friends. The accused man
comes back with the statement that the
entire affair is political scheme, with
the view of having him deposed from the
Office he now holds. He courts investiga-
ton and says he will show that every
thing is all right. The General goes into
this fight as he has entered many war
contests, without any fear of the result,
and with the desire to do his duty. 1t is
possible he has had better table products
than have been served the inmates of the
Home. and we doubt If there is a man In
similar position who does not enjoy that
privilege. and even at that the inmates
haYe not suffered. It will be hard to get
man to stand at the head of any institu-
tion who Is to be kept down to the same
fare that Is handed out to those under his
care. He is entitled to some special privi-
leges. If there has been extravaganza
and neglect of the wards of the state that
is another story. but judgment in the case
should be withheld until the entire affair
has been thoroughly investigated and the
guilt or innocence of the accused has been
assured.

new Secretary may not be versed In the
usages Of war. but he has put up many

the rule rather than the exception to place
military man in that position. The
Office calls for one who can give good solid

WHEN Senator James F. Fielder was

assurance that he would become acting
Governor of New Jersey. there is NO
doubt that he did not have In his head the
Idea Of being candidate for that posi-

day he took up the reins of government
Of this state, and the ovation he received
from all parts Of New Jersey, showed that
he is man In whom the members of his
own party, and many of opposite faith,
haye especial confidence; and the requests
that have come to him from all quarters
to be a candidate for Governor have been
80 numerous and so sincere that Mr..
Fielder feels he is justified In seeking the
Office of state executive. He has an
nounced his intention of 30 doing and he
will prove formidable opponent In the
primaries next fall. That he will have OPP
position in his own county is to be expected
for there are other ambitious statesmen
there. but Senator Fielder is popular at

legislature he has been chosen by MAORI.

PRESIDENT WILSON took the oath of
Office on Tuesday and Is now the chief
ruler Of the United States. His inaugural
address was disappointment to many
who expected to read long list of radical
suggestions. but the document was mild,
scholarly production, generally acknow-
lodged to be the ideas of man who has
assumed very responsible position and
who will carefully study situations before
giving ont strong ideas. There will be
special session of Congress on the first of
April and it is very probable that the
President will then convey to that body
some Of the propositions that will occur
to his mind and that he will continue
from time to time to do this as occasion
may require. There is general DISPOSE
ton to give the chief executive fair
chance and not to hastily criticise or
condemn him In any particular.
