Sincerely yours,
FRANK J. ROTH.

two boards with their counsel will
meet with the Governor on September
22 to outline the organizations.
The organization of the Insurance
Fund will be effected within a month
in the opinion of officials, but not
much business will be undertaken un-
til about November /. The prepara-
ton of the schedules of premiums and
other details have been started and
the New York State Board at Albany
is extending considerable assistance.
One of the plans to be outlined at
the next meeting will be the campaign
for business for the Insurance Fund
in which an effort will be made to
interest all employers. Owing to the
diversity of Pennsylvania Industries
the business will be very extensive and
insurance experts are working on the
rates for each line of employment.
A number of officials of municipali-
ties have been making inquiries as to
their liability under the compensation
act and asking how they shall move
to protect themselves. The question
of municipal participation in the In
surance Fund is now under discussion.

DADDY LONG LEGS"
A CHARMING PLAY
Notable Cast With Renee Kelly
Presents Jean Webster's Story
in Excellent Manner

If a clean, wholesome show pre-
ly we'll rounded, artistic and capable,
has any attraction for this city; it is
safe to assert that the Orpheum will
have two crowded houses to-day at
the matinee and evening performances
of Daddy Long Legs, comedy from
the story by Jean Webster. For
Daddy Long Legs" is a play the pur-
pose of which does not cease with en-
tertatnment, but promotes as well u
touch of sympathy for the unfortun-
ates whom we all know.
The play came first to the public as
story. but was later dramatized by
Henry Miller, and presented last year
with Ruth Chatterton as Judy Abbott,
the role carried in this company by
Renee Kelly, a most charming and
mischfevious Judy OF course, the
play revolves around Judy who for
eighteen years has spent all of her
time in an orphan asylum, where life
to her was solid drudgery. She had
dreams of being as other girls, and one
day all of her dreams were realized
for an unknown benefactor promised
to send her to college. This benefac-
tor was her Daddy Long Legs" who
in the play is Jervis Pendleton, who,
on many occasions judy saw and after
a while loved. Jervis loved her too,
and thereon, with the spice of COM
plicated indentities hangs the story of
the play.
The play was most admirably pre-
sented by company that was in every
way capable one. One could not
wish for more in the acting of Miss
Kelly as Judy" and Mr.. Beasly as
Jervis Pendleton. Indeed 1t is unfair
to stop there in citing characters for
every one of the company in their
respective roles was excellent. And
the play is so fresh and wholesome
that 1t is virtually great privilege to
be able to attend its performances.
But one thing can be said against 1t
and that is the harsh tune given in
several instances by the use of the
name of the Diety at times when en-
phasis for a line or two is sought.

Frank Mack said, when asked If he
had stolen young Lichtenwalner's
watch. well, took it. and that is all
there is to it," The other brother
owned up that he dealt with the pawn
brokers Their excuses for robbing
the body and selling the loot for only

the $50 reward.
Complications were added to the
mystery when the mother asked what
had become of the boys diamond pin
and his cash. The Macl1s stoutly de-
MED they had stolen either the pin or
the money. They were remanded to
Jail.
A woman who was formerly a do

Men in Public Eye Tell of
Municipal improvements

Further comments by men in the
public eye with reference to the mu-
nicipal improvements and the big cele-
bration commemorative of those i'm
provements will be of interest to all
those who have a strong pride in their
city and it's record of achievement
George f. Ross, who was secretary
of the general committee on improve
ments in 19O1-2. reviews the last dec
ade and half as follows:
when 1 look back over the past
thirteen years and realize the great
stride this city has made in the way
of public improvements. the con-
summation of which is to be cele-
brated in the near future, I rejoice
initial campaign to better municipal
conditions, the campaign of 1902,
when the million dollar loan was
ratified so handsomely by the voters
of this city.
Those of us who are old enough to
recall those good old days when we
had muddy streets in wet weather and
dusty ones in dry; when Paxton creek
was an open sewer, with its attendant
cdors; when the water we drank,
after a flood, was pumped directly
from the river into the reservoir and
was almost the consistency of mo-
lasses and a few shades lighter in
color than ink; when the sewers along
the River Front were a serious menace
to the health of the city, and when
the River Bank was common dump
ing ground for all the discarded junk
after the Spring and Fall houseclean-
ings. find it quite difficult to believe
that 80 much could be accomplished
in so short period as thirteen years.
Therefore. l think that every citizen
of Harrisburg is justified in feeling
proud that so much has been done
and the manner in which 1t has been
done, for those upon whom the re-
sponsibility devolved of directing the
work and of expending such large
sums of money performed their labors
so faithfully and honestly that there
never has been room for the faintest
suspicion of graft. To those gentle
men l take off my hat, and to the city
that may justly lay claim to the title
City Beautiful 1 say Hail! and all
Hail!'
o. p. Beckley, who is head of the
Rerryhill Nursery Company and a man
of authority OH all matters pertaining
to the city beautiful" in an enthusi-
astic communication says:
Yes, all these fine public improve
ments in Harrisburg have been going
on so steadily and beautifully that
even we who have worked on them
can scarcely realize what a lot of
things have happened and how the
city has developed This was the
voluntary and enthusiastic expression
of one of the workmen who has been
on the job almost since the beginning
of the work in 1901. l believe it could
az truly be the expression of very
large percentage of our good citizens.
And even we who have been most
interested and observing need an occa-
sional jolt to realize what has de-
veloped under our very eyes A few
weeks ago I walked the length of the
promenade fronting the city of Bos-
ton along the Charles river. Why, l
said to my friend, this is exactly the

OF the fetching song and dance skits
that elected praise from Orpheum
goers, was the splendid act called The
Club Man." disporting those very
capable and pleasing players, Harry
Richards and Bessie Kyle. That they
are to appear on the Majestic pro-
gram during the first half of next week
will probably sound the most welcome
note that vaudeville devotees in Har-
risburg have heard this season.
Miss Kyle is stunning young wo-
man, possessing a pleasing personality
and an exquisite voice. Her partner
is clever also and knows how to make
the most of his bright lines. Kyle
and Richards rank with the best
known artists in their line in the
Keith market, and they bid fair to-
ward establishing high water mark
in the way of popularity at the Ma
jestic this season.-Advertisem

Limestone Ledges on
Parkway Drive Delay
Work on New Roadway

Rough grading on the extension of
the city parkway drive through the
althshouse and Paxtang tracts has
been completed by the city park de-
partment for distance of about
1000 feet. This takes the further
end of the work to within a short dis
tance of Paxtang park.
In some sections fine grading has
been finished, too. although the con-
tractors have met obstacles in the
shape of masses of limestone lodges
This requires blasting and necessarily
causes the Job to move less speedily.

same kind of river walk we have in
Harrisburg-only our Susquehanna
river walk is infinitely more pic
turesque and great deal more of 1t.
"On recent New England motor
trip we passed through five capital
cities, all older and bigger than Har-
risburg, but not one of them with as
good streets generally, none with
more picturesque parks, no better
drinking water, and none with so few
unsightly billboards. back alleys,
dumps, etc.
II trust as we woke up in 1901 to
what we needed in Harrisburg we will
now wake UP to what we have in Har-
risburg and shout and boost for the
best old town in the Union as never
before"
Edward Bailey, the banker, said to-
day:
I'm justly congratulating ourselves
on the great advances made by Har-
risburg in the last fourteen years we
must not forget that much remains to
be done to achieve our goal. We must
also remember that changes or re-
forms. to be permanent, must be sup
ported by n practically unanimous
public opinion. Care, too, is necessary
that our taxes be not out of proper
ton to those of towns of comparative
size"
David Kaufman. owner of the big
new Kaufman store. says:
ut is a constant source of pleasure
to me to be an integral part of a pro-
gressive community such as this city
has grown to be. The spirit of activity
and push that has characterized it's
development during the last fourteen
years is well worthy of emulation
among cities all over the country.
Everybody and everything is benefited
by the movement for municipal i'm
provement which has been in progress
since 1901 and which will be cele-
brated in the big celebration the end
OF this month"
j. w Bowman, of Bowman & Co.,
member of the Board of Public Works,
believes that the keynote of Harris
burg's prosperity is contentment. Mr..
Bowman writes:
Results of fourteen years of earnest
endeavor appear at almost every
glance throughout the city and l be-
lieve that conditions realized by those
improvements far exceed in true worth
the dreams of those who have labored
persistently and strenuously for the
fulfilment
LAS an industrial town Harrisburg
has remained practically free of labor
troubles. which can justly be accred-
tied to its splendid natural surround
ings providing a diversity of means
for healthful recreation. whereby the
old adage that Satan finds mischief
for idle hands to do has not proven
applicable. A contentment of mind is
the prevailing result
The money expended on improving
these natural advantages has enhanced
their value beyond measure, both in
beauty and employment, and 1 am
sure will be the means of attracting
more and more individuals and fami-
lies to this city as years pass by.
The coming celebration will not
only give unusual publicity, but will
serve as an inspiration for the further
ment of local improvements
