The paper itself was a mag nificent specimen of the printer's art, and its immensity was in keeping with the Western style of doing things on a big scale, as well as doing them thor oughly.

Mann's new offering, vis a play peculiarly and provincially of a new Eng land type, and is bound to outlive many more pretentious dramas. It portrays truly the characters of the Yankee and it pictures scenes of culminating interest in a New England settlement, but this is merely a narrow view of tho play, as it is bno that contains intense interest which appears straight to tho heart of a constituency than perhaps never saw New England.

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 : MENU , Oyster Cocktails Cream of Asparagus I Celery Nuts Olives Planked Shad, Manhattan Cucumbers Filet Mlgnon Mascagni Klrsch Punch . Roast Mallard Duck , Hominy Jelly Chicory Salad Plorabiere Gallclcnne Assorted Cakes Cheese Coffee Fruit 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. Not Dull and Bread.
