Miss Gardner is evidently making up for lost time with her singing in assembly lately. We have a congre- gational song almost every morning now and sometimes two or three for good measure.
 Miss Bolts took her civics class down to. court Monday morning to see how they were progressing and to give the judge, attorneys, witnesses, jury, and the rest any information they needed to assist in conducting matters. With the excellent advice furnished by the class it is hoped that court will be able to now chastise the culprits according to the statutes.
 Dr. Blome entertained the assembly Thursday and friday of last week by reading a chapter, "Daniel Boone and the Long Hunters" from Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's famous history book, "The Winning of the Vest" It is a history particularly favored by the doctor and his own enthusiasm was given to those who heard him. Many interesting things were learned about the early backwoodsmen which, but for his reading, some of us may never have known.
 Many and excellent plans are being made for the annual inter-society con- test between the two literary societies which is to be held in the auditorium

Promptness

"Then," said the young man with a tragic air, as he was leaving the room, "this is your final decision?"
 "It is, MT. Carrots" replied the young girl, firmly.
 "Then," he replied, his voice be- traying an unnatural calmness, "there is but one thing more to add"
 "?" she questioned, sweetly.
 "It is this-shall I return those white satin suspenders by mail, or will you have them now?"

Obliging

"I approach you in a worthy cause, Mir. Titewadd We want to raise $100,- 900. A prominent philanthropist offers to contribute quarter of that"
 "Oh, well," said MT. Titewadd hasti- ly, q don't mind giving another quar- ter. Can you change a half?"

SIGNAL CHANGES
ON P. R. R. LINES
Irainmen to Hear All About
New Lights; Talk For
Employees

Signal changes on the Pennsy
went into effect to-day. No longer
is a white light important in the
running of trains. Green takes the
place of white and signifies a clear
track. When a lellow light appears
it means caution. and red is still the
danger signal. Should a white light
be shown, the safest plan is to as
certain If glass has ben broken
and run with caution until a tower
or another signal is reached.
How to follow the new signals will
be told trainmen tonight at the
monthly meeting of the Friendship
and Cooperative Club. The meeting
will be held at Eagles Hall, Sixth
and Cumberland streets. All train
men. whether members or not, are
invited. Signal department officials
will be on hand and interesting
facts will be disclosed.
All Employees Welcome
An invitation is also extended to
all employees to attend this meet.
ing, as there will be important in
formation given concerning the
Pennsylvania Railroad Relief De-
partment. E. B. Hunt, superintend-
ent of this branch, will explain the
workings of the relief department,
and will also make plain rules and
regulations. He will show that there
have been a number of misrepre-
sentations by outsiders and his talk
also promises much interest.
The committee on entertainment
has prepared a social program after
the business session, which starts at
O'Clock. There will be refresh
nentS.

tual Beneficial Association for
Pennsy Employees.
Concrete bridges are being built
on the Baltimore division of the
Pennsylvania railroad replacing the
steel structures.
Work has started on the new turn
table at the Reading roundhouse at
Reading. 1t will be 130 feet in
length.
The Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad Company has or
dered seventy-nine locomotives from
Baldwins at a cost of near $4,000
900.
Besides other bridge improve
ments on the Reading system au-
thorized by the management the
company will build a new concrete
arch bridge over the Schuylkill river
in Fairmont Park, Philadelphia, to
cost $1,000,000.
Officials of the Reading Railway
Company announce that there will
be no further curtailment of it's
trains than those made several
weeks ago when the summer time
table was issued. About a dozen
suburban trains running in and out
of Philadelphia were annuled. No
changes will be made on the main
line. The seashore trains will run
the same as last year.

ELEVEN MUSICAL
PUPILS GRADUATE
Given Diplomas at Well-At-
tended Exercises in Tech
nical Auditorium


The auditorium of the Technical
High school was crowded Tuesday
evening by an audience in attendance
upon the twenty-first annual COM
mencement exercises of the Harris
burg Conservatory of Music.
The stage was prettily decorated
with potted plants, ferns and flow
ers. All of the numbers played were
of a very high order of artistic ex
cellence and represented the greatest
composers.
In point of technic, phraslng and
Interpretation. the work of each stu
dent was much above the average.
Epecially beautiful was the violin
playing of Harold Emil Malsh. a
pupil of Madame Won Bereghy's. In
this number the difficult Bruch con-
certo was played with a freedom and
abandon quite unusual in so young
an artist. Especially fine was his
clear and resonant tone and supple
ness at wrist and arm. c. B. Shack
ley, a new baritone, charmed the
audience with his selection THE
Drummer Boy" by Edward German.
He was enthusiastically encored and
his rich sonorous voice was heard
even to better advantage in his en-
core number, dainty love lyric by
Lohr. DR.. Nudge, pastor of Pine
Street Presbyterian Church, address
ed the graduates, he spoke particu-
larly of the value of music in it's
effect upon the moral life. and of
the Importance of high ideals and
of enthusiasm as factors in success
ful life. His address was eloquent
and uplifting and made a deep inn
preston. In a few well-chosen words,
Prof. Decevee, director of the school,
then addressed the graduates and ad-
monished them to maintain the
highest ideals in music. He then pre-
sented them with their diplomas.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
NEW CONTRACT
FOR W. U.LNES
Pennsy Directors Approve
Return of Telegraph Serv-
ice; Costly Proposition

Philadelphia, June 2S. - At the
meeting of the directors of the Penn
sylvania Railroad yesterday the new
telegraph contracts came up for ap-
proval. The lease which gave the
Postal Telegraph Company exclusive
service over the Pennsylvania lines
expired June 25, and the new contract
1t is understood. will be dated July 1.
The Western Union will also come
back on the Pennsylvania lines and
will probably begin the installation
of equipment early next week. The
cost of constructing the new lines is
estimated at about 100000.
On May 21, 1902 upon receipt OF the
announcement that the courts in
Pittsburgh had refused the Western
Union Company's appeal from a for
wires from the lines of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, A. j. Cassatt, then
president of the Pennsylvania Rail
, road, ordered his gangs who were in
waiting to continue the destruction
of the Western Unions property on
the railroad company's right of way.
Tear Down Wires
The men went to work with a will
and began demolishing the property
in these six States Simultaneously:
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia and New
York. Fully 5000 men, distributed
over nearly $500 miles of railroad.
were hurled against the Western
Union in the work of destruction. At
il o'clock the order of demolition was
issued and at 1885 the first wire went
down.
Special orders were issued concern
ing the important Western Union line
to New York. 1t was cut at the
Delaware river bridge and thirty-nine
wires went down as the linemen clipp-
ed them and the aXmen chopped the
poles. By the time the work stopped
at night the railroad men had demol-
1shed $4,000 Western Union poles and
$4,000 miles of wire.
Inspects Work
At noon President CasSatt started
from here to New York in his private
car and returned at p. M, after in
specting the work of demolition on
this main artery of traffic.
History shows no record of one cor
poration striking another blow so tre-
mendous as the Pennsylvania Railroad
struck the Western Union on that day.
The dispute came over Gould's deter
mination to bring his Wabash Rail-
road into Pittsburgh, tapping the
Pennsylvania valuable trade there.
! Gould owned the Wabash and con-
trolled the Western Union. He sacri-
feed the Western Union to his inter-
ests in the Wabash. While the value
of the property destroyed was about
100000, it will cost 100000 to re-
place it on account of the difference
in the cost of labor and material.
