BOTH BEAUTIFUL
AND HOMELTKE
D. M. Johnson Tells of Care
Taken to Produce Pleasing
Results in Furnishing

"HE following comprehensive
and precise article on the Penn
Harris furnishings is contrib
uted by d. NJ. Johnson, secretary
treasurer of the United Hotels Com
pany:
In the furnishings of the main
portion of the hotel the object was
to create not only a beautiful eff
feet but to obtain a comfortable,
homelike result, rather than to Law
ishly follow any one period or style,
giving the result found in the Eng
lish homes of the late Georgian
period in homes built by the Adam
Bros, the style followed by this
builder.

Upon entering the lobby one is

and simplicity in scheme of furnish

FINE STORES IN
THE NEW HOTEL

The visitor who sizes up the
Penn-Harris will conclude that Har-
risburg is on the map" observed
Herman P. Miller, of Miller Bros.
real estate firm, which has to do
with the leases for shop room in
the big hostlery. This one struc-
ture has put our city into a new
class; it will be a different city from
now on. The building of this struc-
ture sets a pace for higher class
construction and hence cannot help
but be of vast benefit from a real
estate viewpoint"
Four firms only will conduct es-
adjustments in the place. At the
corner of Walnut and Third the
familiar Gorgas drug store meets the
eye, occupying apartment No. 1.

of light is cast by the table lamps
and torches and beautifully de-
signed ceiling fixtures.
The Luxurious Lounge
In direct contrast with the for
mality of the lobby is the ultra
blended effect of the lounge remind
ing one of the homely English draw
ing room, its lack of sameness. fol-
lowing no one period of design but
drawing from the best examples of
late Eighteenth Century of the Eng
lish Georgians. One is impressed
with the spaciousness of this room,
its walls panneled to the high cell
ing and painted in ivory tone with
the beautiful heavy Administer car
pet woven especially, a copy of a
Georgian conception of the old
French Lavonenic carpets of the
contemporary Louis XVI style, all
forming a fitting background for
the rich old blue and taupe damask
hangings with their suggestion of
the Chinese design so much in vogue
during this period with the furniture
covered with rich damasks in vel
vets in contrasting complementary
colors in perfect harmony. The mag
nificent carved Italian table of mas
sive proportions, rep oduced from
an antique Italian model forms a
fitting center for this restful and
homelike collection and grouping OF
furniture. This table is placed upon
rare antique oriental rug and
breaking the long eXpanse of carpet
giving an added richness. Further
decorative effects are contributed by
the many beautiful lamps placed
conveniently to afford proper light
for reading. The desks being lighted
by little lamps made of Chinese
figurings while the general lighting
of the room is given by beautiful
chandeliers of Adrain design. The
rear portions of this room is used
as the main restaurant. It's walnut
chairs covered with silk damask
being in perfect harmony.
The Beautiful Ballroom
The classic refinement of the bal
room and purity of design of the
Adam style is most successful. With
the exception of the rose satin hang
ing practically no color is used in
this room that the walls may be neu-
tral in tone forming a fitting back
ground for the gowns of the women
guests which in themselves create
beautiful color effect. The same APP
plies to the assembly room adjoin-
ing.
The Private Dining Rooms
On this floor also are several private
dining rooms of Various sizes, with
cream white panelled walls, heavy
especially woven carpets and silk
damask hangings. Especially attrac-
tive is the Japanese private dining
room with it's walls panelled with an
old French paper of Japanese de-
sign forming a continuous pattern OF

rich Oriental rug. The room being
lighted with appropriate fixtures and
unique lamps which were made from
old Chinese vases obtained from a
valuable collection. On this same
floor are a series of bedrooms and
private suites especially rich in their
Furnishings and hangings."

REPUBLICANS IN
LOWER HOUSE
RESULTS OF TUESDAYS ELEC-
TION-JUDGE ROBERTS WINS
WITH PLURALITY OF 25,000-
SENATOR SHIELDS RETURNED.

Republicans are claiming the Low
er House of Congress and the Senate
as a result of Tuesdays election, says
eports from various sections OF the
United States. Many states have sent
in an increased Republican delegation
10 Congress, and in some instances
they have replaced the Republican
Senators for the Democratic ones, al
though the returns are still incom-
plete. These claims and counter
claims continue to come through, but
in Tennessee conditions remain pre-
cisely the same politically. Judge
Roberts was elected by something
over $4,000 plurality as Governor of
the state over the Republican oppo-
nent. Senator James X. Shields is
returned for another six years by an
increased vote over his Republican
opponent, while the Democratic nom
inee for railroad commissioner, Gen.
Hammer, received an unanimous en-
dorsement.
As it now appears there will be
two Democratic Senators from Ten
nessee, a Democratic Congressman
and two Republican Congressman. The
Republican Congressman are ]. Will
Taylor, Sam r. Sells. At the time
of going to press some doubts still
existed as to the final complexion Of
both Houses with respect to mapori-
ties.

BETTER NEGRO SCHOOLS FOR
LOUISIANA.

Baton Rouge, Lathe State Do;
partment OF Education has just is
sueu notable bulletin on Negro ed.
ucation prepared by Mr.. Favrot, state
agent for rural colored schools. 1t
is accompanied lrm..fn appeal from
State suFerirte. -S Harris to par
ish superintendent aad school boards
to aid in a statewide betterment of
colored schools, which is shown as
necessary from the viewpoint of
our economic and industrial develop.
ment, from the viewpoint of health,
public safety and justice"
Louisiana has in Is years made
splendid progress with her white
schools, for which she pays more
tnan any Southern State; but her
expense for Negro education is less
than any state in the country. Mr..
tavrot quotes from DR.. Dabney, the
distinguished Tennessee educator, to
snoN the economic results of educa-
tion. According to DR.. Dabney Mas
sacnusetts gives her citizens seven
years S, hooling, and her yearly per
SupiIu pIOuuCIiOu 10 p-Ouy IuC Oullcu
States, with "A years schooling, pro-
duces $40 per capita per year;
Tennessee, with three years school
ing, produces $116 per year.
Taking 500 as the yearly produc-
ton of the uneducated Negro, the bull
letin gives a careful estimate of f.
nancial loss to the state through
sickness and death preventable by
sanitary improvement, OF nearly
$l6,O00,O0O per year. This does not
include the sisck loses of whites
traQelble to health conditions among
Neg oeS. The state also bears its
share of soil devastation in the South,
where l00,00O,00O acres are cultivat-
ed by Negro farmers, tenants and
laborers, most of whom have never
bcel taught the rudiments of sue
,e5sful agriculture.
"We see the need" says Mr. Fav-
rot, I'VE can stand the cost, and we
know how to do the job. Do it in
the interest of more prosperous
state, better health, or public safety;
or do it because our sense of justice
or fairness prompts us to it. Or do
it, in the comprehensive plan of our
President, to make the world slfe
for democracy
