THE BANQUET.
A Most Enjoyable Reunion
Wayno County People In
New York.
of
The third annual banquet of tho
Wayne County Pennsylvania Society of
New York-city, given at the Hotel Man
hattan on Tuesday evening, Feb. 23d,
was attended by 73 members and guests,
including Hon. J. C. Birdsall, Mayor
elect John Kuhbach, B. F. Haines,
Daniel O.Osborn, A. J. Rehbein, Henry
Z. Russell, Harold Rowland, Gustavo
Smith, DuBois Weston and Thomas J.
Ham, of Honesdale and Seelyvitle. Not
withstanding the very unfavorable con
dition of the weather, nearly everyone
whose name appeared on the official
list of members and guests were present,
and at the reception in the spacious
parl6rsof the hotel, the faces of so many
former residents of Honesdale and vicin
ity gave the gathering a thoroughly
homelike appearance, and one might
easily have imagined himself at some
public function in the Court House or
The Lyric, rather than at a palatial ho
tel in the metropolis.
After an hour spent in hand-shakings,
introductions and reminiscent talk, an
excellent orchestra furnishing appropri
ate music the while, the banquet was
announced, and proceeding to the main
dinipg room the party were ushered to
the nine tables arranged for their ac
commodation, all of which were pro
fusely decorated with cutflowers, palms,
and other potted plants. At the head
were seated the toastmaster, .Charles W.
Hand, and the speakers, those listed be
ing Rev. J. R. Atkinson, D. D., of
Elizabeth, N. J., John W. Armour,
Allen Hazen and Hon. J. B. Dimmick.
The last named, however, found his
duties as mayor of Scranton, during the
final days of his administration, so press
ing as to oblige him to send a letter of
regret that he could not be present ;
which with other letters and telegrams
of similar import were read by the chair
man directly after grace had been said
by 'Dr. Atkinson.
Following is the menu, to which it is
needless to. say ample justice was done :

At the
conclusion of , the feast. a flash
light picture
was taken of the partici
pants, after which in a few well-chosen
and happily expressed remarks, toast
master C. W. Hand, president of the
Association introduced Rev. Mr. Atkin
son as the first speaker, his topic being
"i.et us nay." Upon this text the Kev.
Dr. in most felicitous language, present
ed an argument in favor of an optimistic
and enjoyable conception of life, and a
cheerful acceptance of vicissitudes even
including what are so generally regard
ed as ita more somber shades, Inci
dentally he amusingly referred tohis first
visit to Honesdale, and! in a glowing
tribute to the attractive features of the
place spoke of its charming women, in
eluding the one whom it was his good
fortune to induce to share life with him
He was followed by Allen Hazen, of
New York city, one of the skilled en
gineers who accompanied President-elect
Taft to the Canal Zone, for an inspection
of the' great public work now in progress
there. Mr. Hazen told in plain, under'
standable language the story of the im
mense canal project, and gave the rea
sons for the conclusion reached by the
expert committee that the lock system is
not only superior to the sea level plan,
but practically imperative, if the great
ship waterway is ever to reach comple
tion.
A sleight-of-hand diversion introduced
at the close of Mr. Hazen's address, by
A. J. Rehbein, proved to be very enjoy!
able, and fully justified his reputation as
mystifying prestidigitateur.
John W. Armour, a professional en
tertainer, followed with a pot-pourri of
poetical recitations and anecdotes, which
kept his. audience in roars of laughter.
The concluding feature of the occasion
was the introduction of a series of reso
lutions prepared by Messrs. Dr. R. II
Gibbons, Charles Schuller and George
D. Prentiss, eulogistic of the late Dr,
D. B. St. John Roosa, with expressions
of sympathy for and condolence with his
widow, which were unanimously adopt
ed by a rising vote. Dr. Gibbons pre
ceeded the reading of the resolutions
with a most entertaining account of his
early struggles in his profession, pay
ing incidental tributes to the Drs. Reed,
Strong, Dusinberre and others in lionet'
dale, Pittston and Scranton, leading up
to his later association, professional and
personal with Dr. Roosa.
Tho nominating committee of the
Wayne County Pennsylvania Association
was then announced, after which the
president declared the annual meeting
adjourned.
