BURKE
BUILDING
HONESDALE WAS EASY.
The Oroicents Have ft Walk Over In
Defeating the Players from the
Maple City Score 21 to 0.
The bane ball crank of Honesdale
rent over n team vefitoiday that wan
the easiest proposition that the Cres
cent have handled tills year.
The Maple City team's hoped were
knocked Into a cocked hat after the
play commenced and Knegler, their
pitcher, wan knorked skyward until the
players behind him became dizzy tiy
lnc to locate the ball. Knegler's
cuives weie smashed, soaked, pounded
nd had the kinks taken out of them
by the sluggeis on the Carbondnle
tcryn. who, ns "Chuck" Conners would
remark, are some "ihllckR" as hatters
when they don their swatting clothes.
The scoie was 21 to 0 It was
shameful, t rally, the way the nine
from over the mountain was ticated,
but It's a habit the descents have
when a "good thing" Is before. Hones
dale was a "Rood thliiR" yesteiday,
the crack team of the town enJoved
the afoiesald Rood thing to the limit.
Smith, the "ted wondei." as he has
been dubbed, was In his element, mak
ing the Maple Cltv batsmen hew the
air. About eveiy other m.in that came
before him swatted the atmosphere un
til thev all looked as though they had
Just emeiced ticm the hot loom of a
Turkish bath.
Thre wei two new men on the
Crescent team vesterdav. John Halt,
who roe.-ed second base, and Har
iK the Poit .lcrls native, who was
at short while the latter did not
shine, he plaved a Rood game, but
when be becomes accustomed to his
colleagues will be a pi cat deal of
strength to the team. Halt made a
good Impicsslon, especially at the bat.
He Is a good hitter and will be a .ilu
al le man.
"Dick" Monah.in, of this clt, played
at short for Honesdale, and distin
guished himself b achieving piobably
the best recoid of the day.

the man who Is at home when called
upon to stir up enthusiasm and inut
shrill the details of a gieat big Jubila

once In looking after public celebrations
and this Is the reason the semi-centennial
association so eagerly sought his
set vices and placed him at the helm to
guide the entet prise to the goal of suc
cess that l timed at reaching The
association choe wisely: to this every
one will ngiee, and this Judgment has
already been continued by the results
that hao been achieved since he went
among the met chants and unloaded his

talking of semi-centennial until now
inu can hear nothing else discussed
about town This Is Just what was
wanted, foi i-eijbody seems Interested
in the big Jubilee that has been planned
for. Mt. Salmi has heaps of plans and
m hemes that he will put In piactlre

for tho gieat amount of woik that will

woiker will meilt a heap of It.
Mr. Sahm Is foiemot among the en
ttrpilslng and piogiessive mci chants
of the town; he Is one of the town's
most lgoious pushes s In movement

a pleasing pei.sonallty and "Abe," as he
Is known best, Is well spoken of wher

The favor with which Mr. Collins Is

a,'l'n council nns never nan leason to

of Its choice has been often attested,
for Mr. Collins' administration has been
t lean-cut, devoid of fillls and geneially
such as to indicate that he is the right
man In the right place, to use nn ott
quoted saying.
Among his accomplishments dancing

MORE SUBSCRIPTIONS.
Further Evidence of the Goneral Re
sponse of Citizens to tho Appeal
for Funds.
Tho subscriptions which continue to
be made dally to the general fund of
the semi-centennial celebiatlon encotu
age the belief that sunk lent money will
be scented to cany out all tho entei
talnments, nil of the plans that were
pioposptl and decided upon. At the be
ginning there w,is a fear that some of
the pi ogi amines would have to be cm -tailed,
but the fund Is swelling so cnth
titty that the Indications for nn im
mense sucte become brighter and
blighter.
All of the money needed has not been
secnietl, for It will take a heap of It to
cany out tho plans proposed, but a
number of citizens who usually eon
trbute fieely to public nffalis have not
been visited its yet, but will be this
vveok.
The Interest which It has been hoped
that the ladles of the town would take
In the public plans Is beginning to
manifest Itself. On Trlday nlRht the

"Why, suttlnly,' said th'c lank smok

The Inspector stated sharply that If

"Could yer take this hnyr offls awa

master In surprise.
"Of course I could," replied tho In

THE GREAT DISMAL SWAMP.
Bear and Seer Plentiful in It.
Other Large Game.
Irom Korcst ami Mrcam.
The Great DlMn.il Swamp Is a lesion
s-tranRe and Interesting:, weird and sol
itary. It occupies a billowy plain
some foity miles In lencth by twenty-llvo-mlles
In breadth alone the Atlan
tic sua boat el, extending from Suffolk,
V.i., in a foutheily direction, well into
the bounds of North Caiolina.
Its deep shades, Bte.it stretches of
brnke and Its ery solitude make It a
reprlon of Interest. To the naturalist
and spoitMiuin It has much to offer. In
Its silent fastnes-K, the black bear finds
a home admliahly adapted to his pio
tectlon nnd In every wny fnoiable
to his Incrense. Heie amid the dense
Brow th of underbrush and timber, he
may live In comparative safety. And
theie Is perhaps no locality in the whole
eastern United States of like extent
which can offer a larser bear popu
lation than this morals. The white
tailed deer Is also nn abundant denizen
of the bwamp, ftequentlng the elevated
patt.
In addition to the deer and bear,
there Is a blc-Bame feature of n rather
unusual natuie. The Mamp abounds
in wild cows. These animals, of a
blown color and t-omewhat smaller
than the ordinary cow, havlnB for
many years been under the peculiar
conditions of the swamp until theyaie
almost completely specialized, are ex
tremely w lid. They are ferallzed from
the herds of the farms adjacent to the
swamp, and ate the descendants ot
cattle which many ears back wander
ed Into the fastness and were lost to
their owners-, finally becoming wild.
HelnB no loiificr it cognized as property
the spoilsman may call Bnme all that
he nia hae the prowess to shoot
I-ake Diummond, some ten miles from
Suffolk, Va., Is the only Bieat body of
water In the swamp. It Is a beautiful
sheet of water, of nn oval contour, and
fttnficd with a heavy growth of timber,
mostly cypress, white cedar and black
Bum. Its water Is of a dark color ow
Iiib to the decaying vcRetatlon of the
sunoundlnB countty, but Is suitable to
dtlnk, and possesses the quality of re
maining pine longer than most other
water. Foi this reason it l often car
tied to sea by sallois on long voyages.
The characteristic mammalian fauna
Is of a seml-tioptcal nature as legaids
the smaller forms, whlletherearemany
ttoplcal plants. Of blida theie aie not
many kinds, prothonotary, hooded and
Swalnson's waiblera and the Matyland

fully one of the most wonderful nnd
IntetcstliiBopciatlons of modem times.
In his small "studio" Mi. MacDnm.ld,

fly on the shoulder, or some small de
sign on the aim. About a month ago.
however, Mr. Macdonald had a stoi,
who, in the couif-e of a few minutes'
cotneisatlon, opened up a manclous.
pro-pec t for the ait.
"See heie," said the lady, "I'm just
dead tiled of putting color on m
cheeks. Don't ou think ou coulo.
tattoo mo a nice healthy glow that
would stay theie all the time'"
Mr. Macdonald was for the moment
staggeied by the proposil. "Well," he
said, "l'e never tiled the expeilmeut,
but If you aie willing to ilk It 111
obsrr e tl o effect of It on no self, and
If I am satisfied I'll undeitake the
opetatlon." The lady thanked him and
piomlsed to letuin In a few days.
.Mr. Mncdonald having found a va
cant patch near his light ankle, pro
ceded to experiment with a pigment
that closely icsembles touge in culm.
For some d.os he jabbed away with
out getting the desired lesult, but at
the end of a week of close nnd caic
ful observation lie, to his gieat delight
obtained the exact tint for fnclal ap
plication. He futtheimore dl.coeied
that It was ncecs'-.uy to grade the
coloilng so that by lepeatlng the
process over the pigment already In
serted he was able to make a perfect
Imitation of the glow of health.
Then the American lady leturned.
and to her great delight was Infoimod
that If slfe was still detei mined to go
through with it the tattoolnp could be
done. It is peihaps haidly necessary
to say that the lady with the peiman
ent glow told a close fi lend about It.
and that within a month three othei
American ladles had been slmllatly
tieated. Then came an Hngllsh lady
Journalist, who had heaid of the opci
atlon from the Amci leans, and atter
ward two other Hngllsh ladles ac
quired a peimanent color by the same
process.
So far seven ladles hae purchased
charming complexions that will never
fade and many others have written for
paitlculars.
THE GIRL AND THE JURY.
She Followed the Prisoner on Her
Wheel and Knew Ho Was Not
Fast.
From the Pttrolt Journal. ,
There Is no doubt about it. A
pretty gill can swing a juiy. The fact
was demonsttated this moinlng In the
Recoidei's Court before Judge Phelan.
when, for the first time, a jury ti 111
was demanded' bv a scorcher. This
prlvllego Is likely to become a f.id.
The Innovation was started this moin
lng and thice defendants Insisted on
the Inalienable light of being tried by
a jury of their peers.
This was not the only feature of the
moinlng. An alleged scorcher himself
took tho i ostium and by his. eloquence
and tho very valuable testimony of the
pretty gill afoiementloned pievalled
upon the Jury to detlaie him Innocent
He was accused of having piopelled
his wheel at a speed of IS miles an
hour.
The young lady took the stand. Trom
tho dainty hat and gold evcglasses to
the slender ankle that peeped beneath
the shoit skirt to the dlscnmlUuie of
the Juiy ftho was up and drchsed and
neat as a pin
"I followed behind the young man on
my wheel," she said. "Wo weie both
fiom tho same olllce. I am sute ho
was not tiding fast."
"How do jou know?" asked Corpora
tion Counsel l.ove.
"I can't ride so fast."
"Can't ou tide IS miles an hour'."
"I should say not." with such em
phasis that tho lobby btoke out Into
a t oar of laughter and was threatened
with Immediate expulsion.
It waa the gill's vvotd against tho
officer's speed Indicator, and being
placed In the scale of Justice, In minds
of the Juiy the slrl tipped tho scale
like a load of hay against a feather.
After the young defendant had show,

Ililng the witness and nddtesslng the
Jury in his own behalf, the twelve men
listened to the chaige of Judge Phelan.
"The evidence In the case must be
weighed caiefullv," said the Judge. The
voting lady savs she was following the
oung man, as she does every night,"
lA titter lu the loom and many blushes
on the cheek of the gill ) "You must
give the defendant the bcnellt of any
icahonahle doubt."
After a dellbeiatlon of a few minutes,
the Jiuy 1 etui tied and announced a ver
dlc t of not guilty. Theglil smiled til
umphantl.v and she nnd the defendant
depaited to squander the witness fees
on a dish of ice cieain with spoons for
two.
The Idea of a jiuy tilal In tho mhde
nieanoifl and nnllnaucp cases waa
catching, and another seoicher de
manded It. So did a gentleman who
was up for fast dtlvlng. In the latter
case. In which Judge Phelan levied a
fine of $"i and costs of $J, as the veidict
was gulltv, the chaige to the Jury con
tained some pei tine nt temaiks, which
weie to this effect-
"Gentleman of the jury: It Is the ln
allmable light of eveiy citizen to lm
tiled by a Juiy of his peers, if he so
demands. I'lilrs he waives the mat
tei, the light Is his. That tight must
be lc'spectid, and I do not believe It
would be right, just or fair for me to
.-oak this defendant wllh a heavj fine
Jiict because he has gone to the ex
penso of a Jut y. It was bis pilvllege
and should make no dlfteicnce In the
tine. If I should levy a lino of $11
bpiau.G the juiy was demanded it
would have the tendency to Intimidate.
NEED LARGER INCOME NOW.
Fifty Yenrs Ago S50.000 a Year Was
Sufficient in London Society.
I.nnd n Dwpjtch In the fcun.
The Spectator, discussing the new
standard of wealth In lecent years,
tematka that fifty jears ago an In
come of .Cin.oOi) was accounted sufll
cent to tuantaln a good place in soci
ety. Dlsiaell. one of the keenest ob
serveis of society, declared that an In
come of .CSOfiO was a veritable Alad
din's lamp, but wealth now begins with
nn Income of C20.000 jeatlv, whlih. if
the possessor lives up to his position
does not leave him as fire from money
cues as though he was really rich The
country house, .hlied shooting, a Lon
don house, a wife's and daughter'
dress, n moor In Scotland and six
weeks' jachtlng leave little fiee cash
and nothing for improvement. Many
expenres which the tlch Incur without
thinking must be avoided, and at the
end of the yeai the possessor of such
an Income will think whether this or
that could not be economized.
This Is tine, asumlng that In addi
tion to 2ft.oeo a year there Is inherited
the "plant ' of luxurious life, hut in the
case of a man startlnB In society with
an Income of 20,000 and no plant ho
Is far pooler Purchasing and Instal
ling himself In suitable town and coun
try houses must cost 130,000, reducing
his fee Inconu to 14,000.
As he appioaches 50 years of ngo
allowances for his sons' pensions and
other cltlms will make a still further
tednctlon. He will be well fed and
lodged, but will wony regarding tho
position of his children and will bo
anxious In a shame-faced way that hi5)
sons do not seek fortuneless brides
The Spectator does not think that tho
tiuth of this Is baFed upon hixutlous
ness or wastefulness peculiar to todav.
Such luxuiioiisness nnd wastefulnesi
exlfted equally formeily, but the tn
ci case In the number of rich men has
caused an Inctease In the ptbe of
eveivthlng that the tlch seek, especially
line houses and turnltuie. Oppot unti
tles for sport, fiuch as rich man's fish
ing, cost fiom 2,0C0 to 1,000 an
nually, Thcro I.s no proof that vice has In
creased. Gambling certainly has not.
Wastefulness seems gieater because
money is wasted, but proportionate It
l no greater. Our giandfathers did
not chronicle everything, while news
paper advertisements of today la re
sponsible for much of the appcatancu
of mad luxurv In Ihuopean society
Tho Spectator thinks that a special
evil today is the Inci eased Inclination
to gratify Impulse without tefeience to
old testtalnts nnd a certain reaction
ag.lnst goodnfss, which contains mora
Intellectual pessimism and less of
heaven than such movements have us
ually had.
