Cars Every Hour Between Hershey and Elizabethtown -New Line Now Open Gives Splendid Service and Connects With tlie Trolley Systems o£ All South-ern. Pennsylvania About the Stations. With the opening this week of the new line- to. Elizabetlitown, Hershey is connected with the - richest agricul-tural country in America, and "with many towns and settlements of large importance. It has taken more time than was expected to complete the work but the purpose has been to ser cure a trolley road that should be best the possible in grade and equipment. in fact there is scarcely any grade and the line is practically straight. The rails . are of railroad weight and thus there will he speed without discomfort. Trial cars were run last week, but the formal inauguration of the line took place this week. There is an hourly service in each direction. The cars leave Hershey 15 minutes after the hour until 11.15 P. M. They leave Elizabethtown 15 min-utes before the hour until 11.45 P. M. The last car is due in Hershey at 15 minutes past midnight. The fare in each direction is twenty cents which is less when tickets are used. The cars start from Hershey and use the old track to the Homestead Farm of the Hershey Industrial School; there the new track begins. After a run of 1% miles Vian is reached.. This is a small settlement whose familiar institution is the blacksmith shop. Three miles further there is a station at Deodate' Road. Near here is an old village of a hun- dred or more good people with a coun-try store. Two and one half miles further on is Beverly Station. There is no town near but around is a good farming country. The new line crosses the Corn-wall and Lebanon Railroad by a steel bridge 700 feet long and 21 feet high above the railroad track. The line leaves Dauphin and enters Lancaster county when ' it crosses Conewago Creek.- Two and one-half miles from Beverly Station is Eliza-bethtown and'th e present terminus of the line is at the main public square. The whole line "runs on private right of way until Elizabetlitown is reached. The line is single track with four sid-ings. One of the great conveniences of the new line ¦ is that it gives more direct connection with the Pennsylvania trains going East. There are ten of these trains stopping at Elizabeth - town. Tliose who wish to make con-nection should allow at least ten min-utes for the walk from the square at Elizabethtown to the Pennsylvania Station. A. local omnibus meets all trains and the fare is ten cents. The first regular car for Elizabeth-town left Hershey at 7.15 a. m'. yes-terday. There was much interest in its departure, and equal interest in the arrival of . the first car from Elizabethtown. Hershey is very fortunate in ac-quiring Elizabethtown as a near neighbor. It is one of the most thriv-ing communities in the State. It has prosperous manufactures, fine stores, well-built homes, good .hotels, two) excellent newspapers and a most agreeable population. "With the con-nections at Elizabethtown Hershey travelers are now in direct touch with the whole trolley system of Southern Pennsylvania. They can travel by trolley from Hershey to Philadelphia and then on to New "Stork, Boston and as far north as Portland , Mo. The line brings Lancaster county 's fine milk supply and general trade with-in Hershey's roach, Closer relations between this town und Elizabethtown, Lancaster and other places will re-sult. Already the sentiment Is grow-ing, Wednesday night the following" rep-resentative citizens of Elizabethtown wore brought to Hershey on a spe-cial cur: Ex-Bui-goss Frank Disslngor, Ex- Councllmon James 13, Miles , J, C.

Home of the Hershey Press Wrecked by Fire and Water Damage so Great That the Building Cannot be Used Again. Fine. Work By the Hremen of Hershey. Large Crowd Saw the Build-ing Saturday Afternoon. Several persons going to the foot-ball game shortly before three o'clock Saturday alternoon saw smoke and tiny flames in the southwest corner of the Hershey Press Building which is the tamiliar structure at the en-trance to Hershey Park. ¦U'he alarm was given. At first the people, aid not understand it. The iwo bands and the cheering crowds only a snort while before had marched from the Chocolate avenue across the bridge and so most persons thought the bells were part of the general noise over the 'annual football classic between Hershey and Palmyra. But this soon passed. "The Press Building is on lire," was shouted up and down the streets .and within ttfteen minutes hundreds were at the scene. The Hershey Fire Department under Chief John Conrad and Assistant Chief John 1<". Snavely reached the building within a short time and promptly began operations. The building being of wood and thoroughly seasoned and containing large stocks of paper seemed hopeless. The names quickly ran up the walls and ate their way into the upper story where much paper was stored, and at lirst no one expected that anything could be saved. The whole structure and its contents seemed doomed. -But when ' the water was turned • on Its mighty force and tremendous, flow changed the whole prospect. Very quickly the progress of the flames was checked, but to stop the fire in the paper .stores it was necessary to pour tons of water into the second floor. The weight of this was too great for the supports and suddenly the roof over the j ob office gave way. ¦ At that moment Al C. Kraft, Roy McKissick and William Zimmerman were on the roof and George Eppley was at the top of the ladder. Kraft heard a cracking and exclaimed: "Get down, boys, she's going," and they quickly scampered to the edge and hung around Eppley's ladder. An instant afterwards the roof fell. The escape was so very close that the crowd thought at least two men. were in the ruins. Fortunately all were safe. Everyone tried to help. Practically all the editorial furniture and the paper's lists and records were carried from the building, the men wading in deep water to get the things out. In addition to the names mentioned fine work was done by Harry Parker, Rob-ert V. Owens, Thomas Black, Abram Ellinger, James Putt, B. Frank Zent-myer, Bruce Lehman , and many others. In fact, it is hardly fair to particularize, so general was the dis-position to assist. Mr. M. S. Hershey was present, all' the time .and took an active part in directing and aiding in the " work;' Many ladles were among the spectators and the many small boys seemed delighted to get in the spray from the hose. The force of the water sent the streams over the building frequently and the crowds in the way on the opposite sides got the full benefit. For two hours water was poured into the building and during the rest of the day and night it was necessary three times to put out the flames. The loas was In the building and the stock and in the damage to some ofthe ma-chines. At this writing the insurance men have not made the adj ustments and the net loss cannot bo stated. As soon as the news was known many of the , contemporaries of tho Press offered their aid and the use of their facilities and there wore many evidences of tho favor which the Proas enjoys In Lebanon Valley.

Will Adorn One of tlie Public Places. Thanked by Council. Mr. M. S. Hershey contracted with Donato, the sculptor, for a fountain, to cost $3,100 and paid two-thirds of the contract price In two instalments. The arrangements were made through the late Ogelsby Paul, ¦ who superin-tended the landscape work of Her-shey. The sculptor claimed that he had a subsequent verbal 'contract which superseded the written agree-ment and went ahead and produced a group of statuary for which he charged ?26 ,000. This was regarded as unauthorized and excessive and the claim was disputed. The case was tried at Harrisburg and was difficult because of the , recent death of Mr. Paul who acted as agent in the trans-action.. The trial filled much space in the newspapers. The jury found for the sculptor and on the offer of the sculptor's attorneys an adj ustment was made by John E. Snyder, Esq., at-torney for Mr. Hershey. Mr. Hershey did not see the work until the trial was under way and the jury came to Hershey to view it, when for the first time it was unpacked. Mr. Hershey decided it was not a work he wanted for the town and so he made a present of- it. to Harrisburg. Following is the letter: November 26 , 1915. Hon. John K. Royal, Mayor, Harris-burg, Pa. . Dear Sir: . Confirming my inter-view with you of the 24th instant, there is now communicated to you formally what was then stated ver-bally: .1 wish to present to the City of Harrisburg a fountain group' of gran-ite and bronze, which has recently been highly praised by persons who are reputed to be competent to deter-mine artistic value. Your city . has. in recent years been deeply interested in developing its parks and river front, and in their adornment and beautifying consider-able progress has been made both in pleasure and in comfort. With the approval of your people the addition of this fountain group may increase this satisfaction. . The fountain, if accepted, will be delivered to you at the railroad freight station, Harrisburg. Your city will be required to pro-vide a suitable location, arid a proper foundation upon which to place it, entirely in accordance with your own ju dgment. You can erect it as a fountain, or as statuary, as you. pre-fer, and place about it such other suitable surroundings as you wish. The maker of it, as part of the ad-justment, has offered without expense to you to oversee its safe transporta-tion , supervise its proper placing and erec tion, if you desire his services. With, .my best..1 wishes.for -yourself and the people of your city, I am Yours truly, M. S. HERSHEY. The City Council adopted the fol-lowing: "Whereas, Mr. M. S. Hershey has generously presented to the City of Harrisburg, through Mayor John K. Royal, a magnificent fountain en-titled "Dance of the Eternal Spring; " therefore, bo it "Resolved , That the 'City Council, on beh alf of the Ci ty, hereby accept the same and extend to Mr. Hershey the sincere thanks of tho city for his munificent gift; and be it further "Resolved , That a committee of live, consisting of tho Superintendent of- Parks and Public Property, the President of tho Planning Commis-sion and one member each from the Municipal League, the Civic Club and tho Southern Pennsylvania Chap-ter of tho American Association of Architects, are hereby appointed , who shall , In conj unction with the sculp-tor , Mr, Donato, select tho proper place to locate said fountain.

L_ ' ^_ : ) Looked Like Bank Burglars but They Were Runawa ys What Ralph Fiore Saw In the Shrub-bery Aroiihd tlie Hershey Trust Company in the Early Hours of the Morning—One of -them had a Gun—Both Arrested; What would you think if • you saw two figures hiding in the evergreens at the Hershey Trust Company build-ing after midnight ? What would you do if you suddenly realized that one of them was holding a gun and that the glint of the barrel was in your di-rection? All this happened to Ralph Fiore ju st after the midnight of Thanksgiv-ing and in the first hour of Friday morning; He was making his late round. The streets were deserted. All the good people in Hershey were in hod. Ralph was passing the bank when he heard a slight noise In the ever-greens. Suddenly he saw the glint oh a gun barrel. He walked on a few steps as if nothing had happened. This gave him time to draw his revol-ver and . then he turned quickly . and told the hiding men if they moved he would shoot. He .made them drop their gun and come out from their hiding. They prove.4. to be two Indian boys about eighteen or twenty and they said they had hid in the evergreens when they heard Ralph coming down the street. Fiore awakened Mr. John E. Snyder, who telephoned to the Carlisle In-dian School and ascertained that the boys had run away. It was requested that they be, detained until an officer could be sent for them. This was done and Ralph Fiore guarded them in the Fire House until morning. Being penniless they were fed at the expense of Mr. Hershey. To the Press man they said they did not like the school at Carlisle and that they had escaped. They had mistaken their direction and had come east in-stead of going west. They had visited several towns' and had travelled in a circle in the hope of getting away, but their money had given out. One of them was from Northern Michigan and the other was from Northern Wis-consin. They said they wanted to go back home. The younger could not be told from the average white youth. He was bright and inclined to be flip-pant. The other was dark and had very little to say. Both seemed to ad-mire . Ralph for his cleverness in see-ing ' them and making, them surrender. About noon Friday the school officer arrived and took them in charge. He said they had given trouble before. They, will be punished by being im-prisoned - , at the school. One of the boys;declared the Indians in the new class! at Carlisle are very unhappy and that all of them would like to run away and go back home. Ralph Fiore has beeii much praised for his nerve in this case. So far as he could know they were genuine burglars until they came forth from the hiding place: 'Virst United Bretlircn Church Crowd-ed Thursday Night On Sunday evening the choir of the First.

How Churches pi the Town Unite in Special Services Practical and Profitable Instances of Cordial Co-operation. Tlie Spirit of lisist Summer was Repeated at Thanksgiving and the Congregation Filled. For the firsfTzme all the churches of Hershey united in services last sum-mer and their union meetings in the park and in the amphitheater when it rained drew splendid audiences. Sev-eral times many more than a thousand were present. They drew people for miles around. So popular was the idea and so fruit ful was its working that when Thanksgiving came along the churches decided that they would repeat their plan, and the result was altogether satisfactory. At 10 o'clock Thursday morning the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity was filled and latecomers had to take extra chairs. Usually a Thanksgiving service at ten in the morning draws a slim attendance, but in • Hershey the congregation was notably fine and the choir was one of the largest Hershey has known. The spirit of union and gratitude prevailed throughout. John Irwin Meek, who had charge of the Lutheran Church during the summer, and who will shortly conclude his theological course, conducted the main services and he was assisted by Rev. N. L. Linebaugh, pastor of the United Brethren Church. The sermon was delivered by Rev. George S. Rentz, pastor of Derry Pres-byterian Church. It was a broad, forceful , patrioti c review and eulogy of the day and its great meaning. He emphasized the duty of the people of Hershey being especially grateful for the special blessings they enjoy . The music was excellent and praise is due to Mr. Dubois for his fine singing. A generous collection was taken and as usual it was sent to the Harrrisburg Hospital.. Lutheran Men's Bible Class Delightful Social Held at the Hershey Cafe. The Speeches One of the successful organizations of the town is the Men's Bible Class of the Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity. . Last week John Irwin Meek was in Hershey and it was considered a good time for the class to meet and get a finer start for the winter's work. It also served as an inauguration of the new teacher, Mr. E. L. Bomgard-ner, who is regarded as the best man for the work. The class has entered upon its hew season with increased enthusiasm. There were over '30. at the meeting and a delightful luncheon was served by Manager Krause. It was enjoyed by all and then with songs from the hymnal the program was begun. Dr; Mumma presided and gfacefully di-rected the different speakers, who were Rev. G. S. Rentz, Rev. Mr. Lam-bert, of Lebanon; Hon. G. D. Moyer, „ John 'Irwin- Meek ,- James Millard, George Copcnhaver, E. L. Bomgard-ner, and L. R. Meekins.

A Play Worth Seeing Guy Bates Post in "Omar, the Tent-maker," at Harrisburg "Omar, the Tentmaker," which comes to the Orpheum, Harrisburg, for two performances, matinee and night, Saturday, December 4th, is rich in suggestions of the Orient—the plot and counterplot form an intensely interesting drama, but the principal interest centers around the' char-acter of Omar Khayyam, " inter-preted by Guy Bates Post. The var-ious phases of the role, the ' grave and the gay, the loving and. the reckless, are all given with the fineness of are that make this picture of the poetic tentmaker one to be long remembered. The -royster er. of- the tavern was a. dif-ferent Omar from. the. loving father of the little Shireen, hut at no time has Richard Walton Tully, the author, for-gotten to suggst the great and subtle mind .that was undoubtedly possessed by the ancient Persian poet. He gives him a large philosophy of life that is beautiful , and the verses that have been taken from the Rubalyat have been selected with the idea of present-ing tho ideal instead of tho more earthly phase of Omar Khayyam's character. Perhaps the most beautiful feature of the play are these quotations. In constructing tho drama Omar Is given two dreams, In which his philosophy is propounded-one the scene In the potter 's shop, while In the other , his soul , when tortured , disembarks from the sorely tried body and peers behind the veil. Mr , Post's diction Is perfect , and lovers of Omar Khayyam will en-j oy a treat In this presentation, ' High School Basketball New Schedule Gives Attractive Games With Good Teams Tho liorshoy High School basket-ball fivo will open their basketball HoiiHon this coming Friday evening, December 8, when thoy will meet tho strong Lltilz fivo on tho gym floor ut tho High School building.

Cars Every Hour Between
Hershey and Elizabethtown
-New Line Now Open Gives Splendid
Service and Connects With tlie
Trolley Systems o£ All South-ern.
Pennsylvania About
the Stations.
With the opening this week of the
new line- to. Elizabetlitown, Hershey
is connected with the - richest agricul-tural
country in America, and "with
many towns and settlements of large
importance. It has taken more time
than was expected to complete the
work but the purpose has been to ser
cure a trolley road that should be best the possible in grade and equipment.
in fact there is scarcely any grade and
the line is practically straight. The rails . are of railroad weight and thus
there will he speed without discomfort.
Trial cars were run last week, but the formal inauguration of the line took place this week.
There is an hourly service in each
direction. The cars leave Hershey 15 minutes after the hour until 11.15 P. M. They leave Elizabethtown 15 min-utes
before the hour until 11.45 P. M.
The last car is due in Hershey at 15 minutes past midnight. The fare in
each direction is twenty cents which
is less when tickets are used.
The cars start from Hershey and use the old track to the Homestead
Farm of the Hershey Industrial
School; there the new track begins.
After a run of 1% miles Vian is
reached.. This is a small settlement
whose familiar institution is the
blacksmith shop. Three miles further
there is a station at Deodate' Road.
Near here is an old village of a hun- dred or more good people with a coun-try
store. Two and one half miles
further on is Beverly Station. There
is no town near but around is a good
farming country. The new line crosses
the Corn-wall and Lebanon Railroad
by a steel bridge 700 feet long and 21
feet high above the railroad track.
The line leaves Dauphin and enters
Lancaster county when ' it crosses
Conewago Creek.- Two and one-half
miles from Beverly Station is Eliza-bethtown
and'th e present terminus of
the line is at the main public square.
The whole line "runs on private right
of way until Elizabetlitown is reached.
The line is single track with four sid-ings.
One of the great conveniences of the
new line ¦ is that it gives more direct
connection with the Pennsylvania
trains going East. There are ten of
these trains stopping at Elizabeth -
town. Tliose who wish to make con-nection
should allow at least ten min-utes
for the walk from the square at
Elizabethtown to the Pennsylvania
Station. A. local omnibus meets all
trains and the fare is ten cents.
The first regular car for Elizabeth-town
left Hershey at 7.15 a. m'. yes-terday.
There was much interest in
its departure, and equal interest in
the arrival of . the first car from
Elizabethtown.
Hershey is very fortunate in ac-quiring
Elizabethtown as a near
neighbor. It is one of the most thriv-ing
communities in the State. It has
prosperous manufactures, fine stores,
well-built homes, good .hotels, two)
excellent newspapers and a most
agreeable population. "With the con-nections
at Elizabethtown Hershey
travelers are now in direct touch with
the whole trolley system of Southern
Pennsylvania. They can travel by
trolley from Hershey to Philadelphia
and then on to New "Stork, Boston and
as far north as Portland , Mo. The
line brings Lancaster county 's fine
milk supply and general trade with-in
Hershey's roach, Closer relations
between this town und Elizabethtown,
Lancaster and other places will re-sult.
