It is said at the present time there are ten of these clubs in Sayre, many of which were or- ganiz:d last spring by a smooth and dapper little gent, who suc- ceeded in inveigling unsuspecting housewives into the scheme. Eich club conmsists of 35 members and cach member is to pay the sum of 25 cents for 35 weeks, Each week one of the members is to draw a piece of furniture as a premium, Under the laws of the state the scheme is nothing more nor less than a lottery, and is therefore pro- hibited. But to say nothing of the unlawful feature of the case, the scheme is probably one of the most crooked that has ever been perpetrated on the people of this section. Recently the msthods employed by the fl /~by-night con- c ras have been fully exposed, and the chances are that when the members of the ten or more clubs which are in existence here become fully aware of the plan, they will refuse to pay in any more of their hard earned cash. The original promoter of the concern in Sayre is not workiag on the job aay longer. Itis al- leged that he spat too much time basking in the smiles of a woman who lives on the East Side, and as he was in the meantime neglecting business, he was given the oriental grand bounce. He has been suc- ceeded, however, by another glib~ tongued artist who can be depend- ed upon to work the unsuspecting out of their quarters. As a slight reminder of the man- ner in which the alleged drawings are made here is the way the first agent of the concern operated while in Sayre. He rented rooms of a certain party on West Lock- hart street, and made a deal where- by his landlord was to become a member of the club, and the agent was to pay the price for members ship in lieu of rent, The agent also fixed matters so that the land- lord got his premium at once. All that the agent had to do was to write in to the company which he claimed to represent, naming the person whom he desired to have a premium, In the course of two or three days the premium came in the shape of a worthless couch, which could be bought most any- where for $308 Another part of the scheme is to give a premium to those who have been in the club only a short time. This en- courages the rest and makes busi. ness for the company. Three pre- miums are given each week—one in Sayre, one in Athens, and the other in Waverly, This also has an encouraging effect on the mem- in each of these towns, As a matter of fact the scheme is rotten to the core. Theagent is in a position to give a premium to any one he desires, and the rest of his dupes wait patiently from week to week, hoping that lightning may strike them next. I: is only a question of time when the local authorities will get next.to the proposition and the promoters will be compelled to seek suckers in other towns. PLEASANT SOCIAL Sayre members of the Order of the Golden Seal held a most en joyable social last night at the home of Mrs. Carrie Jackson, No, 414 Desmond street. Miss Jennie M. Cole of Towanda, the district organizer, was present, and also Mr. Sandwick, the assistant organ izer of this order.

Lawrence, there have been more than two hundred newspaper critics review this play for aside from its engagement of 204 nights in New York city between the Madison Square and Lyric theatres, it has been seen in Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and several other of the larger cities of the country. Nevertheless both Mr. Dixey personally and the play have yet to receive the first criticism which has not been of unqualifi:d praise—a record which makes Mr. Dixey’s appearance here one of the really notable events of the season coming as he does with his entire New York company, settings and scenery.

Murphy, the leader of Tammany hall, will deliver his entire delegation to Hearst. Subscribe for The Record.

D:ininger, machinist at the Sayre shops, was struck in the right eye by a flyiag fragment of steel from a file which he was pounding Saturday morning. A fellow workman examined the eye and removed a small picce of the fi.e from the lower lid. Mr, Dein- enger thinking the off :ading sub~ stance removed finished his day's work without much inconvenience although noticing dark spots before the injured eye. O1 Sunday morn- was much irflimed. Hg went to the offize of Dr. Tuttle who found that the eye ball had been pene trated by a fragment of steel, caus~ ing extensive laceration .of the lense and its capsule and lodged at some obscure part of the inner eye. From the extremely difficult and dangerous process of the removal of foreign bodies from the interior of the eye which also requires an Xray photograph he was advised by the doctor to go to Philadel phia and be treated at an eye hos pital in that city. CAR WHEEL VICTIMS Two victims of the cruel car wheels are lying on cots at the Packer hospital. Last night Frank Earl of Wiiliamsport, was brought here with two toes crushed so bad ly that amputation was necessary. He had attempted to get off a freight train at Skinner's Eddy and fell beneath the cars, one of the wheels passing over his toes. This morning Thomas Bianerni, an lalian, employed on a gravel train near Wysox, fell from a car while it was in motion. His right leg fell across the rail and the wheels on one of the cars crushed it so badly between the knee and ankle joint that it was necessary to amputate the member at the hospi- tal this afternoon, ENGINE ROD BROKE An accideht that fortunately did not result seriously, occurred on the Lehigh Valley between the stations at North Hartford and Dryden, Monday morning, when the rods of the engine attached to train No, 281 were knocked ofl, resulting in the wrecking of the cab and wrenching the driving wheels loose. Neither the engineer nor fireman was injured, and the engineer fizally brought the train to a stop.
