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

pretty well used up and the districts will

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

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

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

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.

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. At Freeland,
there was another ruction, A. W. Ven
ada, another of the musicians attaching
the box office receipts. He got his
money.
The club house at Blooming Grove
Pike county, together with its entire
contents, was completely destroyed by
fire on Wednesday night last. 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 . The property
was well insured, $7,000 of the risk be
ing held by the agency of .J.-.Bpn. Rpb
The honors of the coming Hones

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,

"The Volunteer Orgonlat."
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.
