Sunday next February 14th, is St Valentine's Day and the store windows bear full evidence of that fact. The cub am of sending remembrances has in creased remarkably with the develop ment of the post card craze and the treasury of the postal department' is jtreatly benefited, with a corresponding depletion of the physical endurance and good temper of the army of postal em ployes. While moBt of the cards are, in the shape of cordial ereetlnes we still find the old comic ones on the market It would be hlehlv desirable if it were possible to eliminate the funny ones, for they frequently cause great mental dis tress and worry where only fun and good humor is intended, but at the same time they alsq serve the purpose of per1 mittlng one to see himself as others see him. As Valentine day falls on Sunday, this year it is probable that Saturday and Monday will be the busv davs in llio Lincoln Memorial" service's will be held at the Baptist church next Sun day evening, under' the auspices of the Sunday school. An appropriate and varied program has been arrangod. Mrs. Archer will sing. , The State Highway Department will not ask for any bids for .construction of State roads for a time. The" appropria tions for most of the roads have been pretty well used up and the districts will have to wait until more money becomes available. In a former issue we inadvertently gave the signature to a contributed arti cle on "Wool vs. Cotton," as "Nono genarian M. D." We should have print ed it "Octogenarian,'' as, though the writer owns up . to a ripe age, he has several milestones to pass yet before he reaches his ninetieth. Charles McDonald was the lucky holder of the ticket which won the noted white bull dog Bellej owned by F. G. Reynolds, managerof the FamilyTheatre. "Belle" is the winner of several blue ribbons in Madison Square Garden, New York, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and other bench shows. She is said to bo valued ai $150. Superintendent N. U. Huller, of Pleasant Mount, returned on Saturday last from a business trip to Erie and Union City taken in the interest of the fish hatchery. Ho brought with him 100,000 lake trout eggs to be Hatched in this county, and claims that species of fish will, in the near future, be the lead ing lake fish in Northeastern Pennsyl vania. Homer Davenport, who entertained a Lyric audience on Friday evening last, was paid $13,000 a year salary by W. R. Hearst for his caricature work on the New York Journal and has accumu lated a fortune of $300,000.

Salmon made his re port of the financial condition of the church, which was accepted and ordered placed on the minutes. An election of trustees followed, which resulted in the reelection of H. S.

The Scranton Republican in yester day's issue gives an account of a small pox case, the victim being a young lady who had never been vaccinated, and hence has the disease in severe form, and locates the. patient in Honesdale. We dWglad to be able id say that the young lady in question is lying ill at Prompton, a village several miles from Honesdale, and that there is no case of smallpox either in this borough or its immediate vicinity. The Ministerial Association of the Honesdale District will hold its sessions in the M.

The pro-' gram bearing the imprint of the Hawley Times, is a very creditable piece of print ing. -The Uncle Tom's Cabin Co., which recently gave an entertainment at the Lyric has been having all sorts of trouble since it left Honesdale. In West Pitts ton after the show, B. S. Boyer, a mem ber of the band, demanded of the man ager, Grant Luce, payment of arrears of salary amounting to $65. The money not being forthcoming, an altercation ensued in which it was alleged that the manaeer struck at the musician. A midnight arrest followed with a hearing before Squire Gillespie, at which the en' tire troupe appeared. Marks, the law yer defended Mr. Luce, who was finally put under $ooo Donasto Keep tne peace the money trouble being arranged by a promise to Boyer to pay over to' him nightly ten per cent, of the receipts, un til his claim is settled.

The blaze was distinctly seen from Honesdale, The fire started at 8:30 r. M,, between the boiler room and first floor, under the pantry, which is situated at the back and center part of the building, ffhe smoke was so thick that it was irapos Bible to enter the building to save any thing. The entire building was burned to the ground in three-quarters of an hour. The building contained beds and bedding, cooking utensils, dining and sitting room furniture, pool and billiard tables, a piano, a fine collection of stuf fed wild animals and deer heads, also a fine specimen of lake and brook trout Everything was lost except a few sped mens of stuffed birdsi .

On Wednesday last the dVal for the Coyne House property between C. J. Weaver and the McGarry estate was closed, the representative of the estate receiving $13,500 and turning over the keys to the now owner. Mr. Weaver will open the hotel as a strictly up-t, date establishment, and it will be re christened "The Commercial Hotel." A large and appreciative audience assembled at the Lyric on Friday even ing last to listen to the noted caricatur ist, Homer Davenport, lecture on "Ara bia, its Horses, and the Habits and Customs of its Tribes." A. T. Searle, Esq., prefaced the lecture by giving a brief history of the building of the Lyric theatre, the reasons for building; and the cost of the structure, which he stat ed was $35,000, and announced that the proceeds of Mr. Davenport's lecture were to help reduce the indebtedness that now existed. After complimenting those who had been active and instru mental in giving Honesdale one of the finest opera houses in this section of Pennsylvania, Mr. Searle introduced the lecturer of the evening, Homer Davenport, who at onee commanded .the appreciative 'attention of the audi ence by his inimitable chalk caricatures of distinguished persons, and an enter taining recital of his experiences with people whom he1 made the subjects of his pencil. He plainly proved that while this method of journalism is not always relished by those who are portrayed, it is very effective and popular generally. Mr. Davenport's talk on Arabia was of a very instructive and interesting char acter. His personal experiences were related in a manner that highly pleased his audience, and the horse-taik appeal ed very strongly to the many in the audience who are lovers of good horse flesh. His illustrations, given by the aid of a stereopticon were most excel lent while his descriptive abilities were such that his subjects were given a real ity that made the eveningentertainment a most delightful one, and one long to be remembered by those who were for tunate euough to be present.. Michael Hanlan closed the entertainment by an appropriate address on the benefits that 'accrue from a well managed opera house, and called attention, to the fact thatMr. Searle, who made the opening address, though his innate modesty had omitted to mention it, was entitled to a large share of credit for the success ful completion of the Lyric, his efforts as. one of the committee having the mat ter, in charge having been indefatigable. The entertainment was a financial suc cess, netting the Realty Co about $250, Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Welch, of Grove street, a son. PERSONAL.

Much interest is attached to the forth coming production of "Tho Volunteer Organist," which will hold the boards nt the Lyric Thursday, Feb. 18th. The play is of the pastoral order, and. is an idyll in its way. The story of the drama is simple, and is blended with genuine comedy and exceptional pathos. Advance criticisms of tho show speak in glowing terms of the cast and scenic ef fects. There is not a dull moment throughout, tho play, and the plot is never permitted to drag. The story it tells is of every day people in a New England hill town, with the common touches of sentiment and humor, and the sermon it preaches is the good old sermon on temperance in physical indul gence and liberality in religion. One of the special features is the ren dering of those beautiful solos "The Holy City" and "ThePalms," and Trin ty Church Choir boys, with special scenic effects, by Master William Nelson, a boy soprano and boy choir from Trin ity church, New York. Four distinct, massive sets of scenery are carried by the company, together with every electrical device known that could possibly .enhance the beauty of the piece. Besides a force of stage car penters and electricians with the com pany, it is always necessary to greatly augment the working force at the theatres where "The Volunteer OrganiBt" plays, to facilitate the .handling of the scenery and properties the drama calls for.
