If you have an item of news or an
advertisement which you wish inserted
in a newspaper don't wait until the last
moment just before the paper is ready
to go to press before getting your copy
to the oflice. The earlier you get your
copy in, the greater it is appreciated by
the publisher. Just before going to press
the publisher is crowded with copy of
late happenings, and at such times he is
poring over it ,to see what can be left
out. At such times it does not make
the publisher very good Matured to have
copy handed in which might have been
in the oflice two or three days before.
Peter F.Regan, known in the "Ten
derloin," of New York by the name of
"Kid Regan," which was given him bo
fore the family left Honesdale, and who
gave his occupation as bartender, arriv
ed in that city Saturday night from Los
Angeles, Cal., in charge of Lieutenants
Fogerty and Kear. He was locked up
at Police Headquarters. The charge
appearing against him in the Governor's
warrant and the requisition papers is
felonious assault. It is said, however.
that Regan is wanted to tell what he
knows of the killing of Roy Joyce, a
youth of nineteen, who was shot and
stabbed to death inTobey's bar room at
Thirty-first street and Broadway on
April 13, 11)05. Joyce was, killed in a
free for all fight. Regan was there at
the time and disappeared from the city
after the killing. The police have been
searching for him ever since. -Ho was
arrested in Los Angeles on some other
charge and held at the request of the
New York police until requisition papers
could be made out. Fogarty and Kear,
both of whom knew Regan by sight,
were sent to bring him back. When
taken before Lieutenant Funston at
headquarters Regan said he was glad to
get back to faco whatever charge there
might be against him. "Four years of
being a fugitive and;never knowing what
minute you may be grabbed, afraid all
the time that you will be taken, is
enough to discourage any man," he
said. The prisoner was brought all the
way from Log Angeles with handcuffs
on. Ho is a brother of Police Lleuten
ant Martin Regan,of the city force, and
it was charged that he was under police
protection. He was never Indicted on
tho charge of killing Joyce, but on an
old felonious assault charge. The police
will now try to got sufficient evidence to
fatten "tin' 'him an Indictment In the
Joyce cue.

The repaired and regilded weather-
vane of the Presbyterian church was re
stored to its position on the top of the
tall spire on Monday morning last. The
job was an exceedingly hazardous one,
and seemed next to impossible even to
the onlookers. The Steeple Jack who
did the work must have found it very
windy and cold nearly two hundred feet
from the ground, and it was noticed
that he stopped operations now and
then to rub and blow on his hands ; but
he accomplished his task without a mis
hap. The vane, which is of iron and
copper, is between seven and eight feet
in length, and veryartistic in design. In
the bright sunshine of Monday morning
it was a brilliant object and attracted
much attention.

but training them to habits of practical

influence their lives when they come to
be men and women. The Hall enter

The first real demonstration of the
electric railway system as it is now in
use in all parts of the civilized world,
was made in Scranton in the autumn of
1880. This marvel in electric railroad
ing was the first effort of the Scranton
Suburban Railway Company, and it is
gratifying to our local pride to know
that two Honesdale boys Thomas F.
Torrey and J. Benjamin Dimmick were
members of the board of directors,
Edward B. Sturges was its president,
George Sanderson', secretary, and Mr,
Torrey treasurer. The other members
of the board were Orlando S. Johnson,
John L. Hull and James W. Garney.
The Suburban is now a part of the
Scranton Railway company system. The
Scranton Times well says that "These
men were the pioneers of the electrical
railroad development of the world, and
to their indomitable courage and fore
sightedness must for all time be given
tho honor of showing the world the pos
sibilities of electricity as a motive power
for tho propulsion of street cars."

On Friday, January 22d, 1909, the
