1874 BOOKS OUT In MARCH
Many More Volumes Circulated Than
Year Before at Public Library

Reports made to the board of trus.
tees of the Harrisburg Public Library
last night indicated that the circula-
tion of books during the month of
March was 610 larger than in the
month of March last year which was
one of the heavy months. The number
of books taken out by residents of Har-
risburg and vicinity last month was
1924. When it is considered that
the total number of books in the Lii
brary is about 14,300 this indicates
a big rush of business for the city s
institution. There are mbre books on
the shelves of the Library than ever
before, the number added last month
being larger than usual in response to
demands for fiction.
One-third of the books taken out
during the month were for school chill
dren, running up to $50 on some days.
In the books taken out were works in
English, French, Hungarian and
Rumanian. The latter collection is
being put on the shelves, the money
having been provided by the Civic Club
and by a friend of the Library.
In March there was 3,571 readers
at the Library, of whom over thirty
two per cent. were children.

Local Option Fight in Seventies

James A. Stranahan, former Deputy
Attorney General of Pennsylvania, for
mer member of the Legislature from
Mercer county, now practicing at the
Dauphin county bar, was a conspicuous
figure in. the memorable legislative ses-
sion of 1874 when local option was an
issue, as now. The occasion was the
bitter fight on the bill to repeal the
then existing local option law--whieh
afterward, in another year, was strick-
en- from the statute books. General
Stranahan one day was being lied
upon to m Ike speech opposing the re-
pealer, said a former lawmaker this
morning while giving "reminiscences of
the days when the fight for and against
liquor probably was as earnest as it is
to- day.

it, and it cannot cause injury. No diff
ference what ails your little one-if full
of cold, or sore throat, diarrhoea,

carefully and see that it is made by

TRANSFORMS UGLY SCHOOL
PLOT into FLOWER GARDEN
Civic Club Is Accomplishing Wonders
at the Grounds, Surrounding the
Susquehanna Building Where the
Fresh Air Pupils Are Taught

The following announcement of the
work of beautifying the grounds about
the Susquehanna school building was
given out in behalf of the Civic Club to-
day:
"Those who recall the appearance Of
the grounds surrounding the Susque-
hanna school building, Fifth and Seneca
streets, viii remember that not spear
of grass was growing there; that the
ground was made of ashes; that it was
ungraded, being hilly and lumpy,. and
was altogether uninviting. The children
of the fresh air school attend the build
ing, and the School Board has been
to much expense for the equipment of
the school so that it felt that any fur
ther outlay on the grounds was not
warranted at present.
"Some years ago the Board gave the
Educational Department of the Civic
Club permission to plant shrubs or
trees in the school grounds, and to add
to the general attractiveness of the
premises in this manner. Some advan-
tage has been taken of this permission,
though not to the extent that the de-
partment wished, owing to lack of
funds.
1.-THE Susquehanna building has
made an especial appeal to it, and while
the outlay needed for putting the
grounds into proper shape seemed
enormous, the educational department,
with Mrs. II. Lindley Hosford as chair
man, was fortunate enough to secure
the hearty coop, alton of Mr.. Lynch,
head of street and public improvements,
and Mr.. Taylor, head of Parks and
Public Property. The school grounds be-
ing city property could, of course, le-
Ultimately receive their assistance.
Through the kindness and aid of the
two commissioners the grounds have
been Graded and now beautiful hedge
is being planted around the entire
grounds, 100 by 120 feet, and shrubs
and flowers and vines also will be add
ed. The children have asked for a
flower garden and a vegetable garden
and are most enthusiastic over every
spadeful of dirt that is turned.
'"rhe department is hoping to have
some brief appropriate exercises when
the grounds are in readiness and Mr.
Taylor, Mr.. Lynch and City Forester
Mueller, as well as various school off
cials will be invited to attend. The
Civic Club feels that this work is one
of the most important that it has ever
undertaken, and i would have been i'm
possible for the women to have accom-
plished their aims without the generou.
support of the two Commissioners.

EMPTY POCKETS MADE TO
Yield Cash At MAJESTIC
Company Of conjurors, Who Give
Closing Performance At Theatre
To-night-Have Program of Baf-
fling Illusions

On the stage and off the stage, Le-
roy, Talma and Bosco, conjurors, who
appeared at the Majestic yesterday and
will give their closing performance
this evening, present battling illusions
which are as entertaining as mystify-
ing. The principal illusions of course
take place on the stage, but the tricks
performed by the trio in the audience
while the house is fully lighted are
especially interesting because there is
something personal about them.
When quiet spectator of won
derful exhibition of stage magic is
during the performance approached
by one of the magicians and relieved
of money, playing cards or rabbits
produced by the conjuror from a pre-
viously empty pocket, he begins to
wonder whether there is not after all
something supernatural about sleight-
ofhand operations.
On the stage, during the illusions
presented there, there are no dim
lights or close connections with cur
tains and trap doors. The tricks are
performed in full view of the audi
ence-or at least in what the audience
considers to be full view-and The
various appearances and disappear
ances of persons, animals and other
things, are beyond understanding.
"The Ghostly VISIT" and the
"Hindoo Rope Trick are the most
mystifying of the many illusions. They
cannot be described, for only what is
apparent to the spectators could be
told, and that would not be believed
possible by any but the spectators
| themselves.

MY NICOTINE LADY AT SCHOOL

1t was wise move that was made by the authorl-
ties of girls college in England when the request
of of the students that smoking the college
environs be permitted was referred to the parents
of the young women No matter whether the par
ents decide to permit smoking or to prohibit it,
they are the ones to decide the matter. The minor
ity among them, whether pro-nicotine anti-nico-
tine can transfer their daughters to institutions
whose regulations suited to their tastes.
The girls smoke more or less at all the London
colleges according to accounts, sometimes with the
proper permission and sometimes without There
is no means of knowing just what the conditions
are with respect to feminine use of tobacco in col
legiate circles in London but it seems that proh-
bition by school authorities against of the weed
by girl students would not go very far toward
ridding the smokers of the habit.
If gay English school girls constituted at
all like most human beings they will take more
pleasure in doing Something that is forbidden by
the college rules than something permitted, and
they will be more likely to make practice of it,
too.
Proprietors of restaurants in New York City have
declared that since, in some places women have
been allowed to use cigarettes at the tables,
there have been decidedly fewer of the fair sex
inclined to smoke than there were when the prac-
tce prohibited.
If the English school girls were to be permitted
to smoke through college corridors and grounds
they could hardly have as much fun as by gath
erng in secluded places and 'sneaking' smokes.
"My Nicotine Lady, ito reverse the subject of
Barrie s dissertation on tobacco,-if she given
full permission to puff away at all times and places
would perhaps lose what little delight she may have
found in trying to acquire of mans pet habits.

U. s., Not U. s. A.

Do you know what is the proper
abbreviation of the United States? II
is U. s. 1t is not U. s. A. There is
widespread and apparently utter ig
norance of this fact. The initials U. S
A. are the officially accepted abbrevia
under any possible conditions ever
mean United States of America. AT
this time, when so many manufactur,
ers in this country are branding their
goods as made in the United States
this is important. The brand of U. s
A. upon anything means that it was
manufactured for the United States
army. "Made in U. s." is the brand
which should be put upon all goods
manufactured in this country.-Albany

L Stranahan Makes Speech

When rousing cry went up in the
House one day for Stranahan, the
friends about him rushed toward him
like pack of hounds and they refused
to desist until tn, General consented to
make the speech. When Stranahan left
his seat there was great demonstra'
tion. He discussed the issues as he
viewed them and he closed with a re-
mark something like this:
Don't you dare to pass that re-
pealer! Kill it, l say, kill i'll"
And it was killed in that session. In
later years, however, the repeater was
passed.
