LOCAL MENTION.
Born, to Mr. and (Mrs. Carl Allen,
of North Honesdale, on March 111, 190!),
a daughter.
The valedictorian for the clans of
1900 of the Honesdale High School is Coe
Lemnitzer andthesalutatorianis William
Freund. These are chosen because their
scholarship has been the highest for the
ourse. Scholarship is based on class
work andexamination, each counting
one-half. In choosing the speakers who
will take part Commencement night, the
ability to write and deliver counts one
half, and scholarship counts one-half.
The ability to write and deliver is taken
from what they have done in rhetorical
exercises, which form a part of the regu
lar school work. The following have
been selected : Abagail Baird, Faith
Clark, Hazel Dein, Frederick Frey,
Chester Gerry, Florence Hiller, Albert
Krantz, Fred. Osborne. ,
Much interest is being shown in the
High School over the literary contest to
be held at the Lyric, April 1st. Those
who are still in are workine very hard
to remain. The following girls are the
chosen ones so far in the essay contest:
Abigail Baird, Faith Clark, Grace Han

Fred. Reynolds, one of the proprie
tors of the Family Theatre, was assault
ed on Main street, Thursday night. Ho

men came from around the corner and
one struck him with a large club, knock
ing him down. The men then ran up
Main street. Mr. Reynolds received an
extensive cut pn the forehead from the
blow. It is not known what the pur
pose of the assault, was, as thero was no
attempt at robbery.
Kov. Benjamin V. Ripley, pastor of
the Hawley M. E. church sends us the
following words of appreciation and en
couragement: "I want to express my
appreciation of the 'International News
paper Bible Study Club Questions, 'which
are appearing in your paper. Have

thein. I take the questions to my Thurs
day night prayer services, and invite
those present 'to answer or express an
opinion. We have found the questions
very stimulating and enjoyable. Hope
you will continue printing the, service."
On Saturday morning, March 6th,
Mrs. II. P;. Woodward, wife of the cdi
tor of the teckvilltf Journal, formerly
proprietor of the Hawley Times,- had
the misfortune to fall on an icy, pave
ment and badly sprain her left wrist. As
a result, abo has to .carry her nrmin a
ling, and the physician caya it will be

cessfully managed, the grocery and deli
catessen establishment adjoining Liberty

We regret to learn that Mrs. E. E.
Avery is quite ill at her residence at In
dian Orchard, having been laid up for
some weeks with lung trouble and bron
chitis, following some years of feeble
health from nervous affections. She is
under the care of Dr. Burns, of Hones
dale, who gives assuranees of her ulti
mate recovery,
A telegram received on Monday an
nounced the death of T. J. McCarty, at
Boarderland, West Virginia. A tele
gram previously received gave informa
tion that he had received a serious in
jury, and his brother, Hon. Charles A.
McCarty, was about to start for West
Virginia, when he received a second tele
gram, announcing his death. The in
formation received was so meager that
the cause of his death is not known other
than that it was from some injury. In
stead of going to his brother, Mr. Mc
Carty decided to have the remains for-.
warded here for burial, and so informed
the parties at West Virginia by telegram.
The remains are expected to arrive at
Waymart, but the exact time is uncer
tain. From Waymart he will be taken
to the Catholic Cemetery at Canaan, for
burial. T. J. McCarty. after eraduatinc
from the Normal School, at Wavmart,
studied law in Honesdale, and was ad
mitted to the bar as an attorney. Hon.
H. Wilson, who was chairman of the ex
amination committee, moved for his ad
mission to the bar, stating to the court
that his qualifications and knowledge of
the principles of law as found by the
committee were all of a very high order.
buch recommendations are unusual, and
when given are generally conceded to be
a mark of more than ordinary merit.
The -profession of law, after his admis
sion, did not seem to attract him, and
he never located for practice. He trav
eled somewhat in the West, and finally,
about nine years ago, located in West
Virginia, where he had charge of the
mining business of some Pennsylvania
capitalists. He remained in this capac
ity until his death. He Visited Hones
dale a little more than a year ago, and
spoke in high terms of the future of West
Virginia, on account of its great natural
resources. He was not married, and left
tp survive, him three brothers, John, of
iJermyn, William, of Carbondale, and
Charles A. McCarty, of Honesdale ; and
two sisters, Mary and Margaret, both of
Honesdale. No time has been fixed for
the funeral.
The Chicago Stock Company will
offer at the Lyric, to-morrow, Thursday
night, the military drama, "Genesee of
the Hills." It is a strong play and is
given by special permission from Edwin
Arden. The Friday night bill is E. H.
Sothern's great success, "An Enemy to
the King." "Genesee of the Hills" is
a story of a cowboy scout who was rais
ed with the Indians and afterwards be
came their chief. During the Indian up
risings, some years ago, this band re
fused to join the other tribes while Gene
see Jack himself offered his services to
Government and acted as scout. The
name of the original star of the play,
Edwin Arden, and the prosperous run
at the New Astor Theatre, New York,
should be endorsement enough to any
theatregoer, and this is positively the
first time the play has ever been pre
sented at less than the two-dollar prices.
It is a dramatization of Mary Ellis Ry
an's novel published by Harper Bros.
One of the Russell Park lots on
Church street, advertised last week, has
been sold to Mrs. Theresa Green, of 610
Church street, proprietor of the Hones
dale News and Novelty store. The other
lot is still on the market.
The first of the week's entertain
ments at the Lyric, given by the Chicago
Stock Co. was greeted by a full house,
and proved to be a very satisfactory per
formance. The company is made up
very capable people, and assuming that
the opening (play was a fair sample
of their repertoire, theatregoers have
prospects of a pleasant week before them.
Least in size and age appearing on the
stage on Monday evening were the year
ling "Heavenly Twins," nnd it is no
disparagement to the rest of the cast to
say that the kids carried off the lion's
share of the honors.
