Earthquakes.
Tlie disaster that has taken place in
Mceeina and other portions of Sicilv
has caused n wide spread feeling of fear,
that this spction of our country may at
some time in the future be overtaken
by a similar disaster. We are not in
what is considered the earthquake zone,
but nevertheless there are many scient
ists who claim that there is no well de
fined zone that is immune to earth
quakes, and point to the Charleston dis
turbance and also to the slight shocks in
many other places in this country. The
exact cause of earthquakes is not posi
tively known, and is not within the
power of man to prevent. We are in
more danger of Moial Earthquakes, for
the impunity with which some people
Tiolate statute andjnorallaws, is gradual
ly wearing thin the crust that separates
them from the volcano of public indig
nation and justice.
"The Pacific ocean, its shores and its
islands and the vast region beyond, will
become the chief theatre of events in the
world's hereafter." This prediction by
Seward, more than half a century ago,
is on the way toward realization. The
understanding which has been 'given
formal expression by the statement
drawn up by Secretary Root and Am
bassador Takahira will do much toward
hastening that day. China has 400,000,
000 of people, whose wants, in the way
commodities which we have to sell, will
increase many fold as these people rise
in the scale of civilization, as wo under
stand that term. Thus its trade a few
decades hence will probably reach pro
portions beyond the dreams of the pre
sent generation of Americans. When
we consider that Asia holds half of the
1,600,000,000 people of the entire globe,
this Root-Takahira declaration assumes
especial importance. With Kngland in
alliance with Japan, and with both Ja
pan and, Kngland on U-rins of the great-
eat cordiality with the United States,
peace in the Pacific and the Orient is
assured.
The one hundredth anniversary of the
birthday of Abraham Lincoln will occur
February 12, 1009, and will be generally
observed as a holiday throughout the
country. His Gettysburg speech, made
on the field of battle, when it was dedi
cated as a national cemetery, is often
quoted as one of the finest specimens of
English composition extant, but in our
view, his letter to Mrs. Bixby, of Boston,
written while he was President, and con
doling with heron the loss of her five sons
in defense of their country, should at least
take equal rank. It was dated Nov. til,
1864, and was as follows :
Deak Madam. 1 have been shown,
in the dies of the War Department, a
statement of the Adjutant General of
Massachusetts that you are the mother
of five sons who have died gloriously on
the field of battle. I feel how weak and
fruitless must be any words of mine
which should attempt to beguile you
from the grief of a loss so overwhelming;
but I cannot refrain from tendering you
the consolation that may be found in
the thanks of the Republic they died to
save. I pray that our Heavenly Father
may assuage the anguish of your be
reavement and leave you only cherished
memory of the loved and lost, and the
solemn pride that must be yours to have
laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar
of freedom.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully,
AiutAiiAM Lincoln.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
This is one of the important questions
that will be discussed and agitated dur
ing loon.
Over a, million foreigners are landed
upon our shores each year. Notwith
standing their ignorance, superstition,
and old world ideas, they are soon in
vested with the rights of citizenship. In
sixteen different States, six months after
their arrival, they become the tools of
wily politicians and lawless men, and it
is almost impossible to pass or enforce
righteous laws. To offset this gigantic
evil, which threatens the life of our na
tion, Woman, the greatmoral power in
the home, school and church, must
come to the rescue, and to her should
be given the ballot.
Under our present laws, every citizen
over 21, has a vote, excepting criminals,
lunatics, idiots, aliens, and women. Is
it right that the mother, the wife, or the
daughter should be classed with crimi
nals or lunatics, or treated as aliens from
a foreign country ? Many women pay
taxes on real or personal property. IS
IT RIGHT that their money should be
taken and no representation given them?
IS IT RIGHT that while the loafer, the
gambler, the drunkard, and even the
wife beater, has a vote, that earnest,
educated, and refined women are denied
it? IS IT RIGHT that an educated wo
man, who can be trusted to teach a
school, cannot be trusted with a vote
that is given to the boys that she has
educated before they have attained her
years of knowledge ?

" A Dispatch from Harrisbarg on Sat
urday last, says that only 150 of the
members of the Legislature called at the
State Treasury to get the first installment
of the pay which the State allows them,
and those who applied got only $500
each. In the old days the members
were known to be accommodated with
the whole of the $1,500 salary in a lump
on the first day. The first part, which
represented the pay allowed for service
from the first of December, when they
really took office, to the date of organi
zation, was made available on the first
day of the session. State Treasurer
Sheatz will pay the second installment
in a month.
The New Trolley Line.
A New Company Fully Financed
Cars , to be Running Within a
Year and a Half. .
As matters now stand, it seems pretty
safe to say that, notwithstanding all past
drawbacks, hindrances and delays, an
electric, railway will be in operation be
tween Seelyville and Hawley, passing
through Uonesdale, East Honesdale,
Indian Orchard and White Mills, by the
1st of June, of next year, at the latest.
At the regular meeting of the town
council on Thursday evening last, Geo.
L. McKay, an authorized representative
of the Lackawaxen Valley Railroad Co.,
a corporation organized to succeed the
Honesdale and Hawley Railway com
pany, and now possessing all its rights,
title, interest, equity, franchises, char
ters, rights of way, and all other prop
erty, real nnd personal, appeared, and
after stating that the enterprise had been
fully financed, asked that such amend
ments should be adopted to the ordin
ance passed in February, 1006, as to ex
tension of time for the commencement
and completion of the work, and some
other details, as were mado necessary by
the change of ownership and conditions.
The council took until the next evening
to consider the proposition, and on Fri
day night adopted an entirely new or
dinance, as preferable to amending the
old one, all changes being acceptable
to the various parties interested. The
ordinance was approved by the burgess
on Saturday, and will be in full force
and effect after the necessary publica
tion, which, as will be seen by reference
to another column, is now in progress.
The new ordinance gives the Lacka
waxen Valley Railroad company the
right, under certain restrictions, to build
and operate a single track electric rail
way through designated borough streets,
for the conveying of passengers, baggage,
express, freight and mail for a period of
seventy-five years. The gauge is to be
the standard four feet, eight and one
half inches, and the streets to be paved
between and for two feet each side of
the rails, with the same kind of material
and in the same manner as is used by
the borough. The trolley poles to be
sufficiently high to allow a space of six
teen feet between the wires and rails.
Speed in the borough streets nover to
exceed eight miles an hour ; fare with
in the corporation limits never to be
more than five cents ; cars not to ob
struct crossings ; right of way of fire de
partment always to be recognized in the
event of lire ;the borough to be indemni
fied nnd held harmless in all actions at
law which may arise in the construction,
maintenance and operation of the rail
way. The new company is required to
begin the exercise of its privileges with
in six months and have the railway in
operation within eighteen months, and
this without tearing up more than two
blocks at any one time. The Borough
agrees to impose no tax on cars, poles
or other apparatus of the company for a
period of ten years.
These are the main provisions of the
ordinance as effecting the ordinary resi
dent or taxpayer. Such of our readers
as desire to make themselves familiar
with all of the privileges granted and
obligations imposed by the franchise,
will find everything set forth in full in
the official advertisement.

OBITUARY.
Thomas Craig, who came from Coun
ty Mayo, Ireland, to Honesdale sixty
two years ago, and engaged in boating,
after living for a while in Hawley, and
then locating in Pittston, where he has
been for many years a successful mer
chant, died on Friday evening of last
week, Jan. 8th, aged 86 years. His wife,
who before marriage was Ellen McHugh,
of Hawley, with a son and two daugh
ters, survives him.
Mrs. Mary A.Dittinger, relict of Frank
Dittinger, who died twenty-four years
ago, passed away at her residence on
Cottage street, on Saturday afternoon
laBt, after a long illness. For the past
eleven years she'had been totally blind,
an affliction which she endured with
perfect Christian resignation. Mrs. Dit
tinger was born in Baden, Germany, in
1829, and was married in that country,
coming to America in I860. She is sur
vived by a son, Charles, living in Wilkes
Barre, and three daughters, Mrs. Mar
garet Buscher and Mrs. Samuel Schoe
ner, of Hoboken, N. J., and Mrs. Lizzie
Southerton, living at home. The funeral
services were held at St. Mary Magda
lena's German Catholic church at 9
o'clock, yesterday, Tuesday morning,
Rev. Wm. Dassel, officiating.
In addition to tho gorgeous scenery,
wonderful mechanical and startling
electrical effects used in Al. W. Martin's

unusual number of high class special
ties which will be introduced during the
action of the play and also between acts.
No expense has been spared in securing
for these specialties the best available
talent that money can procure and lovers
of vaudeville will find it well worth their
while to take advantage of this fact and
