Many Vivid Costumes
Mark Easter Parade

The little word probable" had it's
innings yesterday and won out against
g weather prediction of day full of
rain.
The great, bright day brought out
al! the Easter finery, and Market
street, the Square and Rverside
Drive were aglow with color. 1t was
perhaps the most colorful Easter from
a sartorial point of view that has
ever been held in Harrisburg. The
gowns OF women and girls We're bright
to the point almost of barbaric splen-
dor. The soft subdued shades had no
place in the styles this Spring. Vivid
blues Gno green's and pinks and
browns and startling new combina-
tions of color made remarkably at
tractive picture.
One noticeable thing observable In
the promenade was the fact that near
ly every girl carried flowers, thus show
ing the generosity of Harrisburg
SWANS.

HOW THE PRESIDENT
SLATED THE TICKET
TOLD BY PALMER
Interesting Development Of the
Factional Trouble in Demo-
cratic Party; Rank Bossism

Pittsburgh, April 1S.--In a remark
able story to-day, the Gazette-Times
prints with circumstantial detail the
facts of the stating of the Palmer-Mc-
Cormick ticket for the Democracy OF
Pennsylvania at a White House con-
ference. This story includes the re-
cent speech made by Congressman A.
Mitchell Palmer at a secret confer
ence in the red room of the Bellevue
Stratford hotel in Philadelphia, The
most sensational feature of the story
is the statement of Palmer that Presi-
dent Wilson not only dictated the
candidates, but personally revised the
statement issued by Palmer informing
the people of the United States of the
Presidents decree in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Palmer Is said to have told
his hearers that there need not be
any question about the position of
the President and Mr.. Bryan or any
body else in connection with this ad-
ministration upon this reorganized
Democracy in Pennsylvania"
The announcement that Secretary
of State William j. Bryan is also mix
ing in the Pennsylvania situation and
is fighting men for United States sena-
tor and governor who fought for him
in his presidential campaigns is of
considerable Importance as Mr.. Bryan
has made it plain through the Com
moner that the administration has no
right to mix in State fights.
Col. Thomas ]. Keenan,, Pittsburgh,
made it possible for the public to
learn of the Palmer speech. Last
December when Palmer had about de-
cided to be a Democratic candidate
for governor. Col. Keenan, organized
citizens cimmittee of 100 in the
State to stand behind the congress-
man.. When Palmer switched over to
the senatorship, he naturally wanted
the committee of one hundred and it
was called together on the night of
March 7 in the eBellevue-Stratford Ho-
tel. There, behind locked doors, Pal
mer gave some of the inside of the
White House stating bee, prefacing
his remarks with the following:
Now this is an executive session.
We are here amongst ourselves. All
of us are Democrats. All of us are
interested in the success of this move
ment throughout, and l am going to
say something which ordinarily /
might not want to say"
All of the members of the commit
tee of 100 did not attend, and their
leader, Col. keenan,, evidently con-
ceiVed the idea of having the Palmer
speech printed in neat pamphlet form
for private distribution among the
members and other trusted ''reorgan-
zerS. MCCORMICK is recorded as be-
ins present and having made a
! speech, but the colonel does not in
clude the gubernatorial candidate S
remarks.
President Wilson, according to the
Palmer speech, regards his admins
! tration as an issue in PENNSYLVANIA,
and insisted on Palmer being the can
didate for United States Senator. 1t
was also stated in the secret powwow
at the Bellevue -Stratford that th.
White House choice for governor was
/ made to head off other candidates and
| prevent q miX-up.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Grandma's recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur darkens so naturally
that nobody can tell

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
luster to the hair when faded. streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff. itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago
the only way to get this mixture was
TO make 1t at home, which is mussy
and troublesome. Nowadays, by ask
ing at any drug store for "Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it. No one
can possibly dell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does it SO naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark. thick and glossy. - Advertise

The history OF every mercantile sue
