There is quite a difference in the
length of the days already. Since the

Next Wednesday a very enjoyable
evening may be looked forward to by
both the young and old people of
Langdon and vicinity when the ladies
of St. Alphonsus church will be the
hostesses at a card party and dance at
the K. of P. Hall in the First Nation
al Bank block.
Langdon has quite a number of
stockholders in the Pioneer Life In
surance Co., a North Dakota concern,
which in the past few years has en-
joyed a steady and prosperous growth.
At the company's annual meeting last
week in Fargo, DR.. E. l. Donovan, of
this city, was reelected as a member
of the board Of directors.
The father of William Plummer,
whose nintieth birthday was one of
the social events among the people of
Langdon during the early part of the
winter, has been failing in health and
strength quite visibly since the holt
days and reports from the Plummer
home yesterday indicate that his con-
dition now is one causing both the
family and friends grave concerns.
Hurst's minstrels, a company of
eight colored people with a female
band and street parade in the after

appeared to be much enjoyed, but the
show in its entirity was average.
After the show the company's orches-
ira furnished music for a dance held
in the Odd Fellows hall.

Clever Pigeon.

A planter in South Carolina writes
that he once saw hawk dart into
a flock of pigeons, but miss his strike.
The pigeons scattered and the hawk
singled out one for pursuit. The pi-
geon rose to a great height, always
keeping above the hawk to prevent
1t from striking When the pigeon
got directly over an old horsepower
ginhouse, raised 10 feet from the
ground, it suddenly darted by the
hawk and came groundward like a
shot, in line few feet from the side
of this ginhouse. The hawk pursued.
and like two streaks they came down.
Eight feet from the ground the pigeon
swerved aside under the ginhouse.
The hawk dashed headlong to its
death on the ground.-Youth's Com
panion.

become very elaborate and very ex-
pensive. Instead of being kept In its
proper place az the decoration Of the

PRESIDENT TAFT
To ADDRESS SOLONS
Formally Invited to Speak to the
General Assembly of Pennsyl-
vania in April
GOVERNOR TO REQUEST 1T
No Successor to Cunningham Will
Be Named For Some Time,
1t Is Understood

EX-Presdent William Howard Taft
will be the guest Of the Pennsylvania
Legislature when he comes to the city
on April 10 to deliver his lecture at
the Technical High School under the
auspices of the students of the Har-
risburg Academy.
The Senate last night adopted a
resolution presented by Senator Sproul
requesting Governor Brumbaugh to
invite the former President to al
resolution also included an invitation
to visit the State Capitol.
1t is understood that Governor
Brumbaugh will send the invitation
as soon as the House concurs. Head
master Arthur e. Brown, of the Acad-
emy visited his office yesterday and
discussed the plans for the visit of
the former President to the city.
Last session Secretary of State
Bryan addressed the legislators on the
occasion OF his visit here and Senator
Boies Penrose also spoke to the mem
bers.
Sheriff George w. Richards. of
Pittsburgh, was here last night, hav-
ing come on an errand of mercy. He
took to the Western Penitentiary An

asked that his sentence be COM
muted.
1t is understood that no selection
of a successor to Deputy Attorney Gen
eral ]. e. Is. Cunningham will be
made for several weeks, probably not
until the department is reorganized
along the lines of Governor Brum-
baugh's plan.

HEALTH SAFEGUARDS

PASSENGERS on interstate vessels
r. may hereafter drink freely of the
\ water supplies thereon without
fear. Secretary of the Treasury
w. G.. McAdoo is sending out to-day
an amendment to the interstate quar-
antine regulations which prohibits
such vessels from serving to their
passengers water from the lake or
stream over which the vessel is being
navigated unless its purity is assured.
This is part of the general scheme
which the United States Public Health
Service is putting into operation for
the protection of the health of the
travelling public. Other regulations
have been promulgated in the past
prohibiting the use of common drink
ing cups and common towels upon
interstate trains and at depots, and
requiring the furnishing of pure water
to passengers and employees of COM
mon carriers, and requiring the post
ing of warning notices upon recep-
tacles containing impure water at or
near railway stations where it might
be used for drinking purposes.
Inasmuch as over sixteen million
people travel every year on the \Great
Lakes alone, these regulations are hav-
ing most important effect upon the
public health. Not only in that they
prevent passengers from contracting
disease and carrying it to their homes.
but also because such regulations have
a decided educational value AS a re-
suit of the regulations requiring the
certifcation of water supplied on
trains many of the smaller cities of
the United States have made radical
improvements which are necessary
preliminary to the issuance of a GER
tihcate and have demonstrated the fact
that many sources of water supply
hitherto regarded as above reproach
have been found to fall far below the
minimum standard of water purity
promulgated by the government Octo-
ber 21. 1914.
The Importance of these regulations
may be judged from the fact that
nearly every case of typhoid fever re-
ported in Harrisburg in the past three
years has resulted from water drunk
at some point outside the city. We
in Harrisburg are spending thousands
of dollars n year to protect our people
from diseases due to impure water
and 1t is gratifying to note that the
national government is at last awake
to condition that our local govern
ment recognized years ago.

"HlNGS are looking up in the
iron trade. The United States
a Steel Corporation reports an in
crease of untitled orders to the
amount of 411,92S tons last month,
which was double the quantity that
had been predicted. The corporation
reports that this is the greatest accu-
mutation of orders in any one month
since last April and that the whole
iron and steel industry is showing
signs of improvement daily.
The steel trade has long been re-
garded as a barometer of business.
If it is active the remainder of the
business of the country is extremely
likely to be in the same satisfactory
State. over 60 per cent. of the ca
pacity of the steel plants of the coun-
try are now being operated and when
it is remembered that last December
not more than 40 per cent. capacity
was in operation, the slow but steady
gain may be noted \ continuance of
this increase in two months time will
see from 20 to so per cent. of the
mills active, and while that will not be
up to top notch, yet it will be suffi-
cient to send thrill of business
throughout the land that will do much
toward restoring things to normal in
many lines of industry

PROBING THE MYSTERY

@ORONER ECKINGER and the
county authorities are entirely
~ justified in making whatever
expenditures are necessary. to
solve the mystery surrounding the
finding of the skeleton of an unknown
girl in the cellar of the house at 1913
South Fourteenth street. The mur-
der, as it unquestionably was, must
not be allowed to go unpunished. if
any way can be found to bring to JUS
tice the unknown slayer. There arc
so many unusual circumstances in this
case that the truth may never be
known, but that ought not to halt the
officials for moment in their work
until the last clue has been run down
and the movements of every family
that has occupied the house since its
erection are satisfactorily explained.
Not only is this in line with justice
to the girl whose body lay so long in
its cellar grave but others who may
be disposed to hide crime in a similar
manner must be given to understand
that the arm of the law is long and
that its servants in Harrisburg leave
no stone unturned to bring to book
those who may be guilty when once
the crime is discovered. If money
and time are required for this. they
should be freely given. The blood of
this young victim cries out for VEN
geance and the public is anxious that
an example shall be set

of which will be to give free band con-
certs for the benefit of the general

the splendid concerts given years ago
under the direction of the park au-

For long time, under the direction
of George G.. Kennedy, when he was
superintendent of the Water Depart

the then Park Superintendent V.
Grant Forrer, large sums of money
were subscribed for weekly concerts
at Reservoir Park. but the work of
raising these subscriptions became so
burdensome that those in charge of
the growing park work found 1t i'm
possible to continue them, so that dur
ing the past two or three years only
occasional concerts were held. The
people missed this popular and whole

ment, and they will no doubt be glad
to cooperate with and support any
movement looking toward their re-
