Dr. w. W. Gilchrist. but how to IN
duce him to take hold was problem
that was solved only after four trips
to Philadelphia.
Game Was Won
The game was practically won; for
when some Harrisburg friends who
had refused to join learned that the
notable leader, DR.. Gilchrist, had been
engaged, they told me that they could
not afford to stay out of the chorus.
The Rev. DR.. Chambers l knew as a
friend of music, and he was prevailed
upon to become the chairman of the
chorus and later of the reception
committee. Amid the enthusiasm that
followed 1t was practically an easy
task to form the choral society. The
harrisburg singers with few excep-
tions fell in line.
The great leader became so beloved
that year after year he was chosen

a successor has fallen upon DR.. Wolfe

prophecy that he, together with Pro
fessor Decevee at the piano will endear
themselves more and more as the

ment from the singers, the Board of

UTILITIES ACT IS ATTACKED.

The constitutionality of the public

to the bill of complaint on behalf OF the
Terminal Taxicab Company. charging the
Public Utilities Commission with "arbi-
trarily, wrongfully, unjustifiably, and uR-
lawfully discriminating against the Term
inaI Taxicab Company and the Federal

The commission recently held that these
two companies are common carriers and
as such are required to give the COM
mission certain information which il
asked Of them about a year ago as the
result of reports to the effect that the
taxicab companies are overcharging the
public. The two concerns appealed from
the decision.
As a result of the amendment which
was filed by Attorney G. Thomas Dunlop

cases were postponed until February =

Fifty years ago today the Confederate
Congress passed vote of thanks to
Gen. p. c. T. Beauregard for his defense
of the city of Charleston.>which had been
practically in state of siege since the
beginning of the war. and had been I'M
Ger fire of Federal guns for six months
The language of the vote was as fol-
lows:
Resolved: That the thanks of Con-
gress are eminentlys due, and are here
by cordially rendered. to Gen p. G. T.
Beauregard and the officers and men
of his command. for their gallantry and
successful defense of the city of Charles
ton, s. Ca defense which, for the SKILL
heroism and tenacity displayed by the
defenders during an attack scarcely
paralleled in warfare, whether We con-
slider the persistent efforts of the enemy
Or his boundless resources in the most
improved and formidable artillery and
the most powerful engines OF war hither-
to known. is justly entitled to be pro-
nounced glorious by impartial history
and an admiring country.
Resolved: That the President be re-
quested to communicate the foregoing
resolutions TO Gen. Beauregard and the
officers and men of his command.
This Endorsement by the Confederate
Congress was particularly gratifying 20
Gen. Beauregard. Much more signifi-
canoe was attached to it than appeared
on the surface, and ii was a strong
point scored by Gen. Beauregard in a
silent personal contest with President
Jefferson Davis, that had existed since
early in the war and had reached
stage of acute bitterness.
Gen. BeaureEard Incensed.
A few days before the passage of this
vote of thanks, Gen. Beauregard had
sent from Charleston to Richmond a
paper for the consideration of the Con-
federate President, containing a plan of
campaign, in which he had advocated
certain changes in the method of con-
Quoting the war. particularly in concen-
trating the Confederate forces in the
field.
This had been forwarded by the hand
of Pierre Soule, prominent resident
OF New Orleans, who had been impris-
oned at Fort Jackson by Gen. Butler on
the charge of disloyalty to the Federal
cause and was now travelling to Rich
mond via Charleston, to offer his serv-
ices to the Confederate States.
Gen. Beauregard's plan of campaign
had received no consideration from the
President Davis The friends of Gen.
Beauregard had then made an issue of
the situation by putting through the

To Keep the Skin
Soft and Velvety

The use of face powder during 1.-THE cold
weather months is chiefly responsible for
so many rough skins and faded complex
ions This is because powder absorbs the
natural moisture and exposes the delicate
tissues to the blighting effect of the raw
winds. 4 plain mayatone lotion does
much to restore the youthful tone and
keep the skin clear. soft, and velvety.
This is prepared by dissolving an original
package of mayatone in one-half pint
