Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-10-09

Some of the railroads entering Har-
risburg might provide passenger cars
for rush DAYS that are more comfort
able than those in which folks went
to the centennial in 1876. Yesterday
the railroads entering the city were
taxed to haul the excursionists and
they probably did not realize what
they were up against. If they did,
some of the cars that brought people
here could have been improved upon
Ihere were some comments that could
hardly be classed as gentle made about
the cars used to bring people here.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-10-09

Some of the letters being delivered
at the post offices of Harrisburg and
Steelton indicate more plainly than
by stamps or post marks that they
come from abroad. They show evil
dences of having been opened. The
other day man from somewhere be-
yond Breslau received a letter at the
Harrisburg office that was a sight.
This man, like a good many other
foreigners, had his own post office
box and when he got out the letter
he wanted to fight. 1t had been
opened and was written over and
stamped over and then tied with a
piece of thread. He showed it to a
companion and they jawed over It.
Finally another foreigner who wore
velvet hat came along and the
trouble was told to him. He looked
at the letter, fished one with similar
injuries from his pocket and the three
proceeded to consign censors to the
first Tophet elevator going down.
Apparently, the censors in some of
the countries fear that the United
states may be a clearing house for
information and want to be sure that
none leaks out in the form of mis-
sives to Jan or Ivan or some other
man asking when work will boom in
America and he can send some more
money because the baby has begun TO
walk or his father is too old to work
any longer.
