Back of Governor Brumbaugh's
fishing trip last week there is a good
story which illustrates the manner in
which the Governor appreciates faith
full service. 1t happens that James c.
Deininger, executive clerk, is noted for
his prowess as a fisherman and COM
ing from Sullivan county he has won
reputation where regulations are
made only by skill. He has never
missed the opening of season until
this year. This year he was hitting
only the high spots in new admins
tration and being executive clerk to a
new Governor is a real rapid Job. So
1t happened that the trout season
opened without Deininger whipping a
stream and he did not even have time
to regret 1T or to dream about the
fish he might have caught. The Gov
ernor, who Is an ardent fisherman,
worked out what was wrong and
sent word to him to report rain or
shine, at o'clock in the morning. at
the Executive Mansion. When Jim"
was notified he asked whether he
should bring with him the bills left
as legacy by the Legislature Of
which he is custodian. pending their
consideration by the Governor. He
was told he need not bring the bills.
He appeared promptly at the Execu-
tive Mansion at o'clock, naturally
curious as to the early morning or
ders. Governor Brumbaugh told him
| with broad smile that he had sur
prise, and bundling him into his auto
mobile, told him he was to spend the
day fishing with him for trout in the
| eastern part of the State. They had
great luck, the Governor capturing
the limit. And he and Jim had q
fine trout supper at the mansion.

Mayor Jermyn, of Scranton, who is
well known to many residents Of this
city, is having some fun with his
councilmen. There is to be a munich

William Perrine says in the Phila-
delphia Evening Bulletin: John w.
| Frazier in the course of a communi-
cation, says that Comrade John &.
Patrick, of Post IS, Harrisburg, and
himself have succeeded in securing
from the Legislature an appropriation
of fifty thousand dollars for the erec-
ton of a memorial TO General George
| G. Meade in the city of washington,
making a total of eighty thousand
! dollars for that purpose, and that
credit is particularly due to the patri-
Brumbaugh. Attorney General Brown
and James A. Dale, of York With
| this money there ought to be such a
memorial of Meade in the national
| capital as will be distinctly worthy of
his fame and of the signal part which
| he played in the preservation of the
Union. The character of the statue
and it's embellishments have yet 10 be

writes that il should be entirely free
of allegory that no one understands and
of the archaeology of prehistoric Pc
RODS, but that rather it should present
llatter-day ideas-Something of the
of Meade was so closely identified
from Gettysburg to Appomatox and
what has grown out of Gettysburg as
the decisive battle that has assured
the peace and prosperity that have
come to the American people"
| John w. Alexander, the artist, who
died yesterday in New York, was here
a couple of years ago to see the State
Capitol in which some of his works
were to have been placed. Mr.. Alex
ander was selected in the nineties to
paint the decorations for the north
corridor, which were to represent the
development of the industries of the
Keystone State, but his reluctance to
enter into a contract prevented the
completion of the works. The State
carried the appropriation of $22 900 in
the general bill year after year in the
hope that things could be arranged.
Mr.. Alexander on his visit here said
that he would undertake the work
when he felt able. his health being
first consideration. He was a native
! Pennsylvania and was immensely in
terested in the art works in the Capt.
tol, and it is great pity that he died
