Bliss Says Weather
Bureau Is Uncle Sans
Best Investment

An interesting lecture was given
last evening by George c. Bliss, of the
United States Weather Bureau. He
showed how this branch of the gov
ernment is saving for the shipping in
tereSts many times the cost of the
service in furnishing in advance re-
ports of the location and movement
of storm areas.
Benjamin Franklin was the first
man to suspect the circular move
ment of the temperate storms but un-
til the government started the plan
of observing and reporting weather
try, no accurate information could be
secured.
Flags by day and light signals by
night now warn vessels leaving and ar
irving at ports along our sea and lake
coast, thereby saving millions of dol
lars in property and many lives. The
station at Philadelphia alone saves
the shippers receiving special reports
from there from four to six million
dollars in one year. This is more than
the entire bureau costs the government
in several years.
Excellent lantern slides were shown,
giving the path of storm areas and
their accompanying weather effects.
Several West Indian storms were
shown which have been responsible
for the destruction of life and property
along the gulf coast. Such storms as
sumo increased intensity in their pas
sage northward and eastward across
the United States. The tornado which
caused the destruction at Hanover in
August was a minor movement asso-
ciated with an escaped tropical cy-
clone.

Pig COMPANIONS
TO OVERCOME
Swine in Crates; Students as
HostlerS; Dartmouth's Live
stock Special
Special to The Telegraph

Hanover, n. H., October 27.-Dart-
mouth students will not accept the
ban on travelling in stock cars to a
football game, announced by the In
terstate Commissioners. They have
found a way to beat the law, and
transport students to Amherst on Sat
urday as livestock" at so cents per
head. They will have pigs as COM
panions.
In each car will be one pig care
fully Grated. The students will be
billed as "hostlers." This arrange
ment, it is said, will prevent any in
reference from the commissioners,
and permit many Dartmouth rooters
to see the game at a small cost.
AS far as can be learned, the num-
Der of caretakers for each animal is
not limited, and it is now believed that
more than 500 will go from here to
see the Amherst game, although the
proposed excursion to Smith College
at Northampton will doubtless have
to be called off after the boys have
Travelled nearly 100 miles with pigs as
companions. The special will leave
Friday night.

Mayor Hot Under the
Collar All For Naught

Since Mayor John X. Royal took his
seat as president of City Council he
probably never spent such an anxious
quarter of an hour as that first fif-
teen minutes of ye. .terday session of
the city commissioners: Mayor Royal
perspired freely, 'tis said, as he hur-
riedly thumbed over Cushing's manual
OF parliamentary procedure and the
rules of Council
After recent newspaper interview
in which he cooly took over the Gre
dit for practically all that had been
done by his colleagues, Commissioners
Bowman, Lynch and Taylor, the Mayor
somehow got the idea that he was to
be taken to task about 1t at yesterday s
meeting.
That accounts, 'tis said, for the
Mayors almost unseemly haste in dig
ging up the rules of parliamentary
procedure just prior to the call to
order to see what he could do with
the gavel should Messrs. Lynch, Taylor
and Bowman ask anything. Which
was mighty tough luck, however
Messrs. Lynch, Taylor and Bowman
didn't ask a thing.

FOR INDIGESTION,
GASES, SOURNESS,
ACID STOMACHS
The moment "Pape's Diapepsin"
reaches the stomach all
distress goes.
Don't suffer-! Eat without fear
of an upset stomach or
dyspepsia.

DO some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into stubborn Jumps and cause a sick,
sour, gassy stomach? Now, Mr.. or
Mrs. Dyspeptic jot this down: Papes
Di1pepsin digests everything, leaving
nothing to sour and upset you. There
never was anything so safely quick, so
certainly effective. No difference how
badly your stomach is disordered you
will get happy relief in five minutes,
but what pleases you most is that it
strengthens and regulates your stom-
ach so you can eat your favorite foods
without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some-
times-they are slow, but not sure.
"Pape's Diapepsin" is quick, positive
and puts your stomach in a healthy
condition so the misery won't come
back.
You feel different as soon as ''Pape's
Diapepsin" comes in contact with the
stomach-distress just vanishes-your
stomach gets sweet no gases, no belch-
ing, no eructations of undigested food,
your head clears and you feel fine.
Go now. make the best investment
you ever made. by getting a large
fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to suf-
fer from Indigestion, dyspepsia or any
stomach Observation-Disclosures

SWORDS GIVEN TO
COMMONWEALTH
Daughter of General Alexander
Schimmelfennig Presents
Them Today

The sword carried by General Alex
ander Won Schimmelfennig and the
sword presented to him by the mem
bers of the staff of his regiment, the
74th Pennsylvania Volunteers, in the
Civil War were to-day presented to
the State by his daughter, Miss Bertha
NJ. Schimmelfennig, of Brighton, Mass.
The swords were presented through
Adjutant General Thomas ]. Stewart,
who acknowledged them and arranged
to have them displayed in the case
in the rotunda of the Capitol which
contains the standards of the regi-
ment. They will be appropriately
marked and be the first to be so dis
played.
General Won Schimmelfennig was
the commander of the famous German
regiment which served on the Union
side throughout the war. 1t was
raised at Pittsburgh through senti-
ment OF the German people in behalf
of the Union and one company was
raised in Philadelphia and added to
1t in the field. The regiment was mus
tered into service at Camp wilkins
near Pittsburgh, September IA, 1861,
as the 35th Pennsylvania Volunteers,
but subsequently given another name.
Bates history says that the regi-
ment secured for its commander Alex
ander Won Schimmelfennig, "a Prus-
sian staff officer possessing fine scien-
tific attainments and large experience
in the art of war and an ardent lover
of liberty and the Union" When the
regiment went into winter quarters
at Hunters Chapel. Va, he organized
a school for officers, specializing In
outpost duty and skirmish duty which
formed the subject of extensive studies
in the Prussian staff school at Berlin
and in which he had service in the
Schleswig-H war and the revolt
in Baden.
The Philadelphia company was COM
manded by Captain Won Hartung. The
regiment served in many battles with
Meade's army and later with Grant.

NEGOTIATING LOAN.
FOR HALF BILLION
Russia Appears to Have Been
Forced Out by American
Financiers
By Associdted Prest

New York, Sept. 24-Both parties
to the proposed big credit loan to
Great Britain and France were re-
ported to be negotiating to-day on
the basis of $500, 100000 as the maxi
mum amount.
The Anglo French Commission, II
was said, was still inclined to insist
that the loan should be greater than
this amount; American financiers
were reported to have informed the
commission pointedly that this sum
would not be exceeded.
Russia appeared to be out of nego-
tiations as participant. If it should
appear necessary that she, too, estab-
lish a credit here, it seemed likely that
independent arrangements would have
to be made for her.
The reported stand of American
financiers to lend no more than
$500, 100000 was said to have played
q leading factor in the virtual decision
not to include Russia as a participant
With Russia in, it was said the need
would be for more than half bill
lion dollars
On behalf of both parties to the
negotiations, it was said to-day that
matters were progressing smoothly
and satisfactorily. The commission
and its American associates were said
to be drawing near an agreement again
and an announcement stating that d
definite plan had been agreed upon
was expected within few days.

SALE OF MIDVALE
PLANT CONFIRMED
Purchased For $19,OO0,O0O;
Cambria Is Again Re-
ported Sold

Philadelphia, Sept. 24.-The Mid
vale Steel Company. one of the largest
Independent steel concerns in the
country, was to-day sold by the inter-
ests which founded the plant nearly
a half century ago. to purchasers
whose identity has not been disclosed.
The sale price approximates S19,-
100000. The deal was completed this
morning when an agreement of sale
was signed after negotiations lasting
several weeks. Payment, 1t is said,
will be made later in cash through the
Girard Trust Company of PhiladeI-
phia.
Coincident with the sale of the Mid
vale plant come the report that the
Cambria Steel company, another big
independent concern with a plant at
Johnstown, Pa, is in the course of
changing hands. This report has been
in circulation at various times for
more than three years, Now, 1t is as
sured in financial circles, that nego-
tiations for the conveyance of this
plant have virtually been completed.
No confirmation could be had of the
report that the Midvale and Cambria
plants would eventually become united
of a new big steel corporation to be
organized to take in a number of in
dependent plants in the eastern part of
the country.
