STORY RITEN'
BY the Messenger Boy

The smells and stinks of Harrisburg
that's whitfield and waited round about
our lovely city on warm and sultry
day of summer is the subject OF my
story for to-day, and is ritten ABOUT
nor tne PSrPpSse tSe nsepe On t,rf for to get en-
ready for the gentle days of Aprel, May
and June that's sure to come atter the
storms of March are done rippin round
the corners of the streets.
The smells of winter time amt very
strong, eXcep the smell of beer and lin
berger cheese on your brotherS breath
evcnin OF enjoyment down town with
some OF his companyuns. Most of the
oders that would otherwise be strong
in winter is froze over and can't smell
properly until released for circulaShun
in the Springtime.
One of the strongest stinks durin the
winter was the stale sawdust that was
mixed with, tobacco joose and muddy
Stow tabernackel when the people hit
the TRAIL But that is all over now and
shudn't he talked about.
In the Spring one of the first smells
is onions on the breth when every one
grows EN- in the back yard and eats
EN- every mite for supper and then goes
out to party. This is mistake when
you're goin to see a gurl that you
thinks anything of.
Other interestin smells that soon will
come is hiasenths and tulips in the hot
houses jist before Easter and other wild
flower sents that are blowed inside the
city limits by the breezes from Wild
wood park, and the hayfields round
about. Then there are roses, maple
trees and other bushes that make you
sniff with pleasure when you're out

But these things is some distance off
yet.

FIRE LOSSES

n TEW CASTLE has undertaken the
nj education of its people in fire
prevention measures. The first
six days of May will constitute
fire prevention week in that city. En-
tensive plans for the observance of
this period are under way. A parade
will be a feature of one day, a part of
which will be made up of various floats
illustrating means for the prevention
of fires.
Several days will be given over to
removing from cellars and other parts
OF buildings all rubbish and other ac-
cumulations conducive to the origin
and spread of fire. Lessons will also
be given in the latest approved meth
DDS of fighting-particular the
incipient blaze that might be easily ex-
tinguished with little loss If caught in
time.
The New Castle idea is a good one.
Harrisburg has had disastrous expe-
rience with fires this year. The city's
losses have been unusually heavy. Our
fire insurance rates are higher than
many believe they should be, but there
will be little chance of any reductions
until some means is found to cut down
our losses. Anything with that in
view ousflt to be welcomed by all of
our people.

others have been clamoring for as
sistance, but the funds of the COM
mittee have been insufficient to meet
the cries of all. Nearly all of this
work has been carried on with money
given by individuals. Now the relief
fund is down to the point where its
assistance must of necessity cease on
March 10, il more money is not OBJ
tanned at once.
Means Committee decided to appeal to
the religious, organizations of the city.
Surely among those whose love of fell
bowman may be presumed to be sec
ond only to love of God will be found
willing hearts and open purses. the
relief committee believes.
Whether the committee is right or
not to-morrow-Sunday show.
The Ways and Means Committee, of
which W. NJ. Donaldson is chairman,
has addressed a letter to the pastor
Of every church asking him to bring
this urgent matter to the attention of
his Sunday school departments and
classes.
If the churches respond as nobly as
they did during the Slough campaign
there can be no question in the minds
of even those who sit in the seats of

fulfilling its mission in Harrisburg and
is living up to those high ideals set by

Thousands of dollars were given dur

running expenses. Nearly $4,000 was
given the evangelist for his seven
weeks work.

the cry of need. Those whom we

actual necessities of life. Money must
be had if they are to keep body and

nobly?
Hundreds without church connec-
ton in Harrisburg are waiting for the
answer.

~ ONERNOR BRUMBAUGH said
when he was campaigning that
~ If elected to the highest office
in the State he would listen to
the voice of the people and upon more
than one occasion since he assumed
his duties he has asked the popular
opinion about things. He invited the
people to send to him their ideas on
workmen's compensation, conserva-
ton, the highway problem and num-
erous other questions. lie has given
interviews in which he has made de-
sire to get the peoples viewpoint and
to do as they wish the keynote.
In issuing the proposed legislation to
establish workmen's compensation in
Pennsylvania in pamphlet form the
Governor has practically called for a
referendum. He has done something
that no other Governor has done. John
X. Tener personally encouraged wide
spread discussion of workmen's COM
pensation last session and his commits
sion in charge of the act published its
bill. Governor Brumbaugh has gone u
step further. He has issued the whole
series of legislation with comments
for and against, and, besides furnishing
Il copy to every newspaper, has taken
steps to put 1t into the hands of manu-
facturers, labor leaders, everyone who
could be expected to give an opinion
on it and asked that comments be
sent to him.
The Governor has placed everything
right out on the table. The people
of Pennsylvania know what he pro-
poses and he has asked what they
think about it. The people owe it to
the Governor to give him their best
thought not only for his own guidance
but for the Legislature as well.

- NENTUALL6 the entire River
Front, with one possible excep-
IL ton, must be cleared of wharf
age. AS the river coal supply is
exhausted the large coal fleets will
gradually diminish in size and the
traffic will be reduced finally to the
vanishing point. But the sand fleets
will continue to do business indefinite
ly, if anything increasing in numbers
with the growth of the city, so that
there will be always some river freight
demanding dockage facilities which
the city in some manner is bound to
provide to reasonable extent
start in clearing up the River
Front at Market street has been made
by the passage through council of an
ordinance transferring the docks of
the Harrisburg Light and Power Com
pany from Market street to the island,
and it is proposed to follow this piece
of legislation with another which in
effect will close entirely the obnoxious
wharves along the river promenade
between the two bridges, at a point
where the river park is most used and
where the unloading of coal would be
not only a nuisance but an actual peril
to women and children using the walk
at the top of the steps.
The operations of the Bowman or
dinance to transfer the remaining coal
traffic from Market street to Paxton
and Verbeke streets would transform
the Market street landing place from a
dirty, noisy coal wharf to a beautiful,
restful continuation of the river park
way, and would enable council also to
close permanently the docks and drive
way at Herr street. Thus all of the
traffic would be cared for at two
points, Paxton and Verbeke streets.
which would be a big improvement
over the present hap-hazard, hit-or-
miss manner of handling the coal and
sand traffic.
a pen sketch of the proposed wharf
on the island. published on another
page of the Telegraph to-day, shows
how unwarranted were the fears of
those who opposed that change on the
ground that it would detract from the
beauty of the landscape. Scarcely

Character and
Reputation

Every man has a character
but he has to make his own
reputation.
Character IS what you are.
Reputation is what others
think about you.
A manufactures creates
product with a definite character,
but until he establishes a repu-
tation for IL that character has
little profit making value.
He must make others see and
realize the character OF his pro-
duct.
He must tell them about it in
a convincing way in n medium
where his words will be read.
He must advertise. If he is
wise he will advertise in the
newspapers, thus reaching con-
sumner and dealer at the same
time.
Manufacturers interested in
building n reputation for their
product are invited to address

WANT FUNDS To
FIGHT HOG CHOLERA
Work Of A. & NJ. College on This Line
Worth Much to the Farmers
Of Texas.

To safeguard the interests Of hog
raisers in Texas, the board of direc.
tors of the A. & NJ. College will ask
the Thirty-fourth Legislature to ap-
propriate $4,000 for he manufacture
and distribution Of hog cholera serum.
This work has been carried on at the
college for the past few years.
The Swine Breeders Association of
Texas, in recommending to the col
lege officials that this amount be ask
ed for at the hands of the Legislature.
declared that the serum produced and
distributed by the veterinary science
department last year saved the swine
breeders of the State not less than
100000 The annual loss from this
disease in the United States is about
S6,OO0,O00, while the annual loss in
Texas alone is estimated at 100000.
Much of this can be prevented; in
fact, nearly all Of that loss can be
prevented, say the swine breeders,
if the Legislature will appropriate
sufficient funds to the college to en-.
able the institution to devote the
proper energies to this work.
The money asked for would be ex-
pended for equipment, salaries and
