A CONSISTENT STAItltACCAN.
The eraeious and astute SlarruciM.
correspondent of the Forest City News
begins Ills batch of news with this:
"The late Cieneral Ilairison and Mr.
Whitney, tlie conespoiuleat, hav used
considerable space 111 the newspapers
on account of their 'lying in state."
Air. Whitney may not have 'lied' in
the state Mr. Harrison did, but It is
tafi to say tjt.tt li has lied in all the
states lie was ever in, and when the
time comes to 'lie in state' he will prob
ably be able to make himself believe
it is nothing but an old-fashioned lite
jdaie." And it ends with this: "Un

MEXICO'S BIG VOLCANO.
The Name of It Is Often Mis-Printed
in the Books.
J'loin tho New Voik Sun.
For many years our school Geograph
ies have Blven the mipposcd pronun
ciation of the name Popocatepetl as
tlie name of the famous volcano of
Mexico has been spelled. Children have
been tmiKlit that the last syllable was
pronounced ns thoue'h It wero spelled
"pel" and they have pronounced the
whole name with the accent on the
"eat." According to V, P. lloeolt & Co.
of tho City of Mexico, who have writ
ten to tho Board on Geographic Names,
WashltiKton. In leference to the pro
nunciation nf the name, the old usage
encouraged by tho geographies Is in
correct. The name consists ot two words. The
first word, Popoca, Is accented on the
second syllable po, The second word,
tepetl, Is accepted on tho first .syllable
and is pronounced as tunugh it were
spelled "taypel." The pame of the
volcano Is thus pronounced very dif
ferently from the common usaire In
this country. In the Inn rtpoit of tln

spelling Popocn-tepetl has been uq.
thoriaed.

It is planned to devote a portion of
the money whicli will be realized from
tlie sale of tickets for tlie coming mili
tary ball to the purchase of a complete
and up-to-date equipment for the large
and splendid room in the basement ot
the new armory, which is intended to
ba used as it gymnasium. While the
room is not quite as large as Ulie pro
posed gymnasium in the new Young
Men's Christlnn association building, it
is being planned to equip it just as
thoroughly. Its use, of course, will be
strictly limited to the members of the
regiment, as will the use of all the
other features which will make tlie
basement of the new armory the most
sought-after place In the whole build
ing. These include the larg? swimming
pool, ThxHO feet in size, which is now
being constructed and which will be
jeady for use as soon as the armory
Is opened. In conjunction wlth this
there will be a ssries of shower baths.
The one hundred yard rifle range, run
ning in a tunnel underneath the wliole
length of the Ui 111 hall, will be an
other attractive feature. Tt was origi
nally intended to combine the rlllc
range and the two bowling- alleys
which are to lie constructed, but the
latest plan is to erect the alleys In a
separate frame building adjoining the
armory on tlie .northerly side. This
will probably be catried out, as It is
not considered feasible to combine tlie

Three of tlie companies of the regi

school is conducted 'half an hour be
fore nnd half an hour after drill and
Is in charge of Captain William A.
Raub. Instruction Is given in tlie
manual and In guard duty and in Com
panies D and I. is verbal. In Company
F, Lieutenant Henshaw prepares it
series ot questions for encli session
and has every odleer give written an
swers to them. This plan Is consid
ered the best and will probably be
adopted by the other companies.

Major W. S. Millar, founeily Inspec

general of the Third brigade. Tlie

lias been ordered by Colonel Wat res
to conduct an election In Honesdale
on Thursday night, April IS, to Illl the

It is currently reported that Cap

Seven poor unfortunates who had
been absont from drill during the past

Wutres has appointed Corporal Lewis
U, Carter, of Company A, regimental
Inspector of rille practice.
Attendance at drills is being rapidly
enforced by the various company com
manders on account of tho annual In
spection, which begins on May I. It la
felt that every etfort should be made
to put the regiment back in Its od
place at the head of the guard, where
It stood for so many years, and Colonel
Watres lius Instructed his captains to
bend every energy to attain this result.
All hope of conducting tlie Inspection
in the new armory has now been prac
