AN UN-ECCENTRIC GENIUS

Eugene Field was at home among
the common people and he was the
life of the frontier settlement or min
ing camp in which he CHANGED to be
located. AS practical joker he was
without a rival. He was constantly
plotting mischief of some kind to
amuse the boys and they looked to
him to relieve the monotony of the
camp. In Denver, then a small and
breezy city on the plains, he caused
quite a stir by inserting a notice in
the paper upon which he was en-
ployed, to the effect that Wolf Lond-
oner, the leading provision merchant,
had Just received a carload Of fine
watermelons direct from Georgia, apd
that every colored man would be
given one free that morning. Lond-
oner wondered what had broken loose
when mob of excited colored folks,
men, women and children, swooped
down on his store, and he had no little
difficulty in explaining that he had
been the victim of another of Gene
fields practical jokes.
Field was almost the only literary
genius 1 have ever known who was
entirely free from crotchets and ecc-
entricities. He was at all times the
same, guileless, unpretentious fellow;
the same generous, free-hearted low
ing friend, and he was never so happy
as when he was making others so.
He did not stint in the use of his gifts
to afford enjoyment to his friends.
He did not need to be coaxed. It was
enough for him that his readings and
recitals gave JOY to others. There
might be few or many. and they had

LEDGER TELLS Of
COMMERCE CHAMBER
New Policy Responsible For Re.
newed Interest of Harrisburg
Business Men

In AN extensive article the Public
Ledger of Philadelphia to-day tells
about Harrisburg's new Chamber of
Commerce, and of the many advan-
tages this city holds as a distributing
center for large industries.
The article was written by a staff
correspondent who is visiting various
cities throughout. Pennsylvania, and
under the heading Harrisburg Seeks
Trade Expansion" the article in part
is as follows:
THE Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce, formerly the Harrisburg
Board of Trade, has celebrated its re-
cial policy and by inaugurating cam
paign of publicity which is at once ag-
gressive and intelligent.
when the board sold its building
at the corner of Front and Market
streets for $50,S50, there were pessi-
mists who predicted an early and a
complete collapse; but they are no
longer heard.
Under the old regime the annual
dues were $S a year; under the new
$25 is fixed as the minimum, and
there are concerns in Harrisburg that
pay 800 or more.
What Luncheons Do
The Chamber of Commerce has re-
Gently inaugurated a series Of noon
day luncheons, at which the men,
bers gather to discuss local conditions
and frequently to hear some outsider
upon topic of contemporary, COM
mercial interest.
"These luncheons have not only
stimulated interest in the chamber
itself, but they have been the means of
spreading information that was not
general even in Harrisburg. For in
stance, some of the older members
have been surprised to learn that
there are sixty-seven large manufac-
turing concerns whose products are
partly distributed from Harrisburg,
exclusive of local jobbers or local man
ufacturers."

State Opens Bids For
Asphalt For the Year

Highway Commissioner E. NJ. Bige-
low to-day opened the bids for fur
nishing asphalt in indeterminate guam
titles to the State Highway Depart
ment. No awards were made, the
commissioner announcing that the
prices quoted would be posted and
that quantities would be bought as
needed from time to time from the
company that could furnish the as
phalt at the lowest price with the
freight rates taken into consideration.
The awards We're made for standard
brands for as much as needed, the bids
being freight on board at designated
points. When the department needs
asphalt it can order from the nearest
point and pay the freight In this
manner the price stands fixed for a
year. There were many bidders, the
department having sought as many
as possible. The United Gas Improve
ment Company, of Philadelphia, bid
on its own specifications and the Union
Oil Company. of California, on ship
ments from California or New York,
while others bid on points which were
not clearly defined. The bid of the
United Gas Company was thrown out.

Township Clerk Robbed
Of Ballots by Is Men
By associated Press

Chicago, ILL.,, April Upon the
votes to-day of women depended the
fate of more than 5000 saloons in
Illinois outside of Chicago. In 324
townships in 67 counties they went to
the polls and officially expressed their
attitude toward the liquor traffic.
F. Scott Mcbride, superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League of Illinois, as
serted women. using the ballot as a
broom, would sweep the dramshops
from 33 counties, increasing the total
Of dry" counties in the State to 63.
For fear that many of the women
might spoil their ballots in casting
their first vote. nearly a half million
extra ballots were distributed at the
polls. Fresh ballots were given to
those who requested them.
Although twelve important propo-
Sitions appeared on the ballot besides
the names of the aldermanic candi-
dates, most of the interest in to-day S
election was in the success of the eight
women candidates for council and the
general result of the womens vote.
The ballots for men in Pana town
ship were stolen from the town clerk
Walter Lester, early to-day by twenty
five men, according to a report he
made to the police. Printers had
worked all night to get out the ballots
with the liquor question on them as
provided by a belated court decision
AS soon as they were printed the bal
lots were intrusted to Lester and he
started to his office with them. Lester
was unable to identify any of the men
who took the ballots from him.
AZ effort was made to have more
ballots printed so that men could vote
later in the day.
