Brotherson had withdrawn, stopped its
utterance, and the silence grew heavy
Though 1t may not have lasted long
by the clock, the instant OF breathless
contemplation Of each others features
across the intervening space was of
tncalculable moment to Sweetwater,
and. possibly, to Brotherson. As
drowning men are said to live over
their whole history between their first
plunge and their final rise to light and
air. SO through the mind OF the de-
tective rushed the memories Of his
past and The fast fading glories Of his
future; and rebelling at the subtle
peril he saw in that sardonic eye. he
vociferated an impulsive:

by a new and irresistible sensation.

felt that night-had swept in through

trial Of redoubtable mechanism In
which he had full faith. He could not
say no to the prospect Of being the
first to share triumph which would
send his name to the ends OF the
earth; and. changing the trend OF his
sentence. he repeated with a calmness
which had the force of a great de-

The canvas shook, gathered itself

loud hurrah.

JUDGE kUNKETs CANDIDACY

HRESIDENT JUDGE GEORGE
r KUNKEL cannot help being
= gratified with the assurances of
support which he is receiving
from all quarters of the State in his
candidacy for the Supreme Court. His
friends of all parties are laboring for
him in the most effective fashion.
They recognize his eminent fitness for
the higher tribunal and inasmuch as
canvass Is relieved of anything smack
ing of politics in the accepted sense.
Judge Kunkel has demonstrated
superior qualifications for the judicial
office and all the rant of recent years
concerning the recall of judicial de-
cisions and other fads of the hour has
only served to emphasize the impor-
tance of electing to the court of last
resort men of sterling worth and solid
common sense.
His friends in Harrisburg, who en-
brace all parties, are reaching out in
every direction through a campaign of
publicity which will make familiar to
all the voters the special fitness of the
president judge of the local courts for
a seat on the Supreme bench. He
finds little time to devote to anything
like personal canvass. but where the
opportunity offers he is glad to meet
the people and mingle with them. He
has. however, steadfastly set his face
against political speechmaking or par

THE WHARTON SCHOOL

~ this city interested in the de-
IL velopment of HarrisburG's edu-
cational facilities should go to
the Technical high school auditorium,
where a big booster meeting is sched-
uled to be held in the interest of es-
tablishing here branch of the Whar-
ton School of Finance.
The University of Pennsylvania has
been establishing branches of the
Wharton school in various cities of the
State with splendid results. The ex-
tension schools have been located
for the purpose of affording advanced
instruction in financial and CONNER
cial subjects to men situated In the
larger cities and towns who are pre-
pared to pursue university work but
who are prevented from attending the
University of Pennsylvania at Phila
delphia.
Joseph Wharton, LII. D., Sc. D., was
the first to see the need of a new type
of college training that should meet
the needs of young men preparing for
business. and in 1881 established at
the University of Pennsylvania the
school which bears his name. At the
present time there are enrolled in the
day and evening classes of the Whar-
ton school about twelve hundred men.
Evening work was established by the
University of Pennsylvania in 1904.
In the nine years of the existence of
the evening school 2,720 men have
been enrolled in its courses.
The work of the extension school of
accounts and finance will be con-
Quoted by the members of the faculty
of the University who give the same
courses in the Wharton and evening
schools. The plan provides that the
of each course shall conduct every
other session of the class. In the in
tervening week the courses will be in
charge of assistants. selected by the
faculty, who will carry. out the same
plan of instruction which has been
followed by the assistants in charge
of the courses in Philadelphia. The
work in the extension school will. in
other words. be of exactly the same
character and given in practically the
same manner as the work in Phila-
delphia.
Before the University will consent to
establish branch in Harrisburg. how
ever, a hundred students must be
assured the directors at Philadelphia
Whether the advantages of the branch
will be afforded Harrisburg business
men depends on whether this number
will enroll as students.
Efforts are now being made by the
Chamber of Commerce, the Harris
burg University of Pennsylvania
Alumni Association and the Rotary
Club of Harrisburg to get the required
number of men to enroll and accord
ing to present reports success is prac-
tically assured.
But everybody who possibly can
should get over to the Technical school
