the registration by the middle of
holiday week will be not far from
$4,000 to 10000, which will be con-
siderably higher than at the same
time last year. The number of Ii
censes granted thus far is far ahead
of the same period in 1913.
The income from the licenses is be-
ing paid into the State Treasury by
the thousands of dollars.

\ New Story. - The Philadelphia
North American is making up the
Brumbaugh cabinet. 1t has placed w.
Harry Baker IN the office of Secretary
| of the Commonwealth.
Wants Aunt's Money. - Mary c..
Brackney, of Pittsburgh, has asked
for writ of mandamus to compel the
banking commissioner to order his
chief clerk to direct all institutions
coming under his direction to adyer-
| tise annually unclaimed deposits so
| that she may know if her dead aunt
had any money. The writ is said to
have been brought some days ago and
service accepted Tuesday, but 1t was
kept quiet at the Attorney Generals
office until late yesterday afternoon
for some occult reason. In fact, there
is a great deal of mystery about It all
at the Capitol, although everyone
would doubtless like to have Mary get
all the money that is coming to her.
The rule Is returnable in ten days. AT
the prothonotary's office it is dated De-
cember and why nothing was said
about it at the law department until
''te yesterday is not known.
