Gregg, who for the past two years has conducted the racket store at Waverly, died last night between 10 and 11 o'clock in the hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The deceased who been in fail~ ing health for the past year taken to the hospital three weeks ago and shortly after admission underwent an operation for an af- fection of the eyes. On account ol a severe hemmorage which fol- lowed, the operation could not be completed and for the past ten days he had lain in a semi-con- scious condition, the physicians not giving much hopes of recov- ery. The announcement of his death was received here last night in a telegraphic message, directed to his brother-in-law, J. H. Murrelle, who left last night for Philadelphia to make preparations to bring the remains of the dead man to this place. Mrs. J. H. Murrelle, sister of the deceased, was at his bedside when he died, having been with him ever since the operation was performed. Henry S. Gregg was born in Wilkes-Barre, October 4, 1866, and age. When he was still a small boy his parents moved to Athens, and in thé public schools of that place he received his carly educa- tion. He was of a studious turn ol mind and acquired a wide range of knowledge. Upon leaving school he learned the art of telegraphy and for 17 years was an operator for the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company at West Pittston. Sever- ing his connection with the Lehigh he visited several places in the west, and about two years ago he went to Waverly where he opened the racket store which he was con ducting at the time of his death, The deceased was a man of fine character and was loved and re- spected by all with whom he came in contact. He was an elder in the Presbyterian church, and his death has removed a man whose loss will be keenly felt. Mr. Gregg was a single man. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Harriet S. Gregg of Sayre and one sister, Mrs. J. H. Murrelle, also of this place WAS MISLEADING Superintendent Stetler of the Sayre borough school says that the article in yesterday's Record concerning the burning of books which had passed through quaran- tine was somewhat misleading. Mr. Stetler says that for the past twelve years it has been the prac tice to immediately burn all books which have been returned to the school from homes that have been invaded by infectious or contagious diseases. “None of these books,” says Mr, Stetler, “have ever been permitted to go any further than the furnace after reaching the school. HAS RETURNED HOME Richard Hill, the Lehigh Valley engineer who was quite seriously scalded while on his engine near Buffalo about three weeks ago, and who has since been in the City hospital at Buffalo, has returned to his home in this place.

THE SAYRE_POST- OFFICE It is annsuheed that Boss Lilley {bas at last succeeded in forcing the old and crippled soldier, J. N, Weaver out of the Sayre postoffice {be appointed in his place. The Athens News comments very se: {Yerely on what it calls Boss Lilley's For months Lilley has been trying to drive the old soldier, Weaver, out of the office, because he wanted it as a reward for some of bis henchmen. Boss Lilley's idea of public office is that it is a sort ol private property to be used by him for the reward of his hench men. The idea that a man should be appointed to public office be- cause of his fitness for that office seems never to have entered Lilley's mind. With him the only qualifi- cation for public office is that the applicant shall be a servile hench- man. And if the holder ol an office has too much self respect to debase himself by doing service to the great boss, why then that officer must get out. We beleive, however, that the people are beginning to take an entircly different view. There is a growing sentiment among the people that public office is a public trust and that fitness and ability should govern in the selection of all officers whether appointive or clective. The man who seeks to use his power of appointment or removal from office for the reward of personal or political friends, or the punishment of personal or political enemies is treading on very dangerous grounds, The Star has no comment to make upon the appointment of Mr. Bonfoey. We assume that he is a competent and suitable man for the place. But he was not selected for this reason, however, but simply to throw a sop to the pecple of Sayre For months Lilley has been trying his best to deliver the Sayre post office to one of his henchmen as a reward for political services, When the people of Sayre brought this matter to the attention of President Roosevelt he promptly turned Mial down, informing him that he would for the payment of his, Lilley's, po- litical debts. It is for this reason, it is claimed, that Lilley got mad at the President, and to vent his spite against him went and voted owner, a long established mercan- tile business in this valley bs offered for quick sale at go pe cent of stock inventory.
