Henry c. Doll, of Denver,
Renews Old Acquaintance

Henry C. Doll, of Denver, Colo, a
former Harrisburger. is visiting his
sister. Mrs. Gilbert NJ. McCauley, at
13 South Front street, and renewing
old acquaintance in the city, although
he finds but few of his boyhood friends
alive.
Mr.. Doll is a son of the late Will
liam Doll. whose jewelry shop, where
The Senate" now stands, was men
toned by Charles Dickens in his
American Notes after a visit here.

school at Third and Chestnut streets,
with Professor Goff as his teacher. He
was closely connected with the civil
life of the city, and with the Market
Square Presbyterian Church. During
the Civil war he served as corporal
under Captain Henry B. Mccormick in
Company F, Twenty-ffth Regiment of
Pennsylvania Volunteers, called the
''Lochiel Grays."

Men of Modest Resources
Now Own Automobiles

1.-THE national income tax returns
furnish a lot of food for thought, es-
pecially to those of modest resources
who have hesitated about buying an
automobile" says L. w. Gillmor, of
the Harrisburg Kissel Kar Company.
ut appears that of the cars regis
tered in the United States only about
100000 are owned by persons having
an income of $4,000 a year or more,
while about SS7. 900 are owned by those
who receive less.
This does not mean that vast thou
sands of people owning automobiles
cannot afford it-not at all. 1t means
rather that a great percentage of the
American public has come to look up
on motoring as a comfort and con-
venience that pays dividends in health
and efficiency. Most owners find that
the expense of maintaining an auto
mobile is easily met by pruning other
indulgences, less attractive and bene-
ficial
"a great majority of those of limit
ed means who buy cars are thrifty
folks, primarily proved by the fact that
they have the money to buy car in
the first place. You will find most
of them improving their condition dur
ing their ownership of the car, the next
best possible proof"

ton will be recommended to City
Council at an early date as solution
to the problem of the open, coal land
ing at Market street The solution
had been discussed from time to time
among city officials, although it's adop-
ton was not possible until after Coun-
Gil had granted the Harrisburg Light
and Power Company the privilege of
erecting a coal wharf on the island in
order to remove much of the river
traffic from the Market street landing.
The gap at present is probably 140
feet across, although several more Sec
tions of steps are to be placed to the
north of the wall below the bridge. A
space of about 120 feet will have to be
abridged and according to the present
plan this will be built solidly from the
coping atop of the wall to the waters
edge. At each end of the wharf pro-
vision will be made for placing an
electric light standard.
Work on the wall will be resumed
as soon after April l as the weather
and river conditions will permit ac-
cording to Charles D. Sucker, presi-
dent of the Sucker Brothers Construc-
ton Company, the contractor, yester-
day.
All that the contractor has yet to do.
aside from removing certain deposits
of debris from outside the wall, is to
put down the remainder of the long
stretch of 14-foot wide walk from
Walnut street to Maclay Equipment
is now being moved to the river bank,

MERIDIAN, MISS.

Meridian. Miss, November 12.-(Spe- cial )--The ceremonial session of Ha- masa temple Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, held in this city last night, was one of. the best that has been held here in years, both in general attendance and in the number of novices who were carried across hot sands of the desert. A class of over 50 was initiated. The street parade was novel and unique, and in the safternpon the visitors were given an automobile ride over the city. A banquet followed the ceremonial ses : sion.
 The financial report of the city of Meridian. made public today, shows that the city has saved a considerable sum of money by economic measures in different departments and those meas ures have been applied without reduc- ing the efficiency of the departments. The bond interest account has been re- duced several thousand dollars, which means that the city is reducing its bonded indebtedness by paying off se rial. and other bonds The streets and paving have not been neglected. About three miles of paving Is now being put down, the city doing It's own Work. Eight new concrete bridges are now in course of construction and no great ly needed interest is being neglected
 Congressman o. l.. Gray of Butler, who underwent a very serious opera tion for gallstones at Turner's hos pital in this city the first of the week. is very much better, although quite weak when he went to the hospital, he IS making satisfactory progress toward recovery
