COAL STIUKK.
The decision of the anthracite mi
ners not to strike gives a feeling of
relief to the whole country which
vividly remembers the great stlke of
seven years ago and of the loss
which resulted to the public. With
out commenting upon the the merits
of the case, concerning wich there
Is naturally a sharp difference of
opinion, it occurs to nearly everyone
who does not belong to the conten
ding parties that someway should be
found to amicably and honorably
settle trade disputes as they arise.
DONT HT HATTLKI).
What with auto-suggestion, hetero
suggostlon, psychotherapy, nnd other
modern mental operations, with
their divisions and subdivisions,
warranted to cure disease and pro
vent sickness, the averago man Is
.liable to get confused and to wonder
what it all means. But if ho en
gages In healthful work, eats good
food, is cleanly in habits and lead a
clean life, ho need not trouble him
self about hyphened scientific words
of threatening aspect.
Adequate Punishment Needed.
Everyone must rejoice with Mr.
and Mrs. Whltla in the safe recovery
of their boy who was kidnaped. The
crime of stealing and holding chil
dren for a ransom is one of the most
dastardly anyone can commit. The
anguish of mind, the terrible
suspense and the fears of the parents
may well be imagined even though
not realized by the public. The case
of Charlie Ross comes vividly to
mind and the fate of that poor, un
fortunate boy must add to the an
guish of any father and mother
whose child is stolen from them.
So heinous is the crime that it de
serves the severest punishment,
and in one or two states death or
other very severe penalty is imposed.
The kidnaping of the Whltla child
has already led to other states pas
sing laws to adequately punish the
offence.
It is a misfortune that it seemed
necessary to pay a heavy ransom to
attain the recovery of the boy and
Borne are disposed to think that too.
much haste was shown, that the
authorities should have been allowed
more time to hunt for the criminals
before any ransom was paid. Doubt
less thd paying of large sums In such
cases is a premium on crime, but
allowance has to be made always for
the feelings of the parents. When
the fate of their child Is concerned
it is not to be expected they will give
much thought to other things. For
tunately in the Whltla case the spee
dy arrest of the criminals following
the payment of the ransom, especi
ally If It Is followed with speedy and
heavy punishment, will go a long
way to discourage any prospective
kidnaper.
Let each one do his duty day by
day. No man can do everything,
but he can do something. He can
not be a whole skyfull of sunshine,
but he can shed a ray of light.
War, whether between nations, or
between capital and labor, may some
times be justified, but not until
every other plan of settlement is
tried.
The Great Coming Concert.
Preparations for the concert to be
given at the Lyric next Tuesday even
ing under the auspices of the Ladies'
Musical Society, are rapidly nearing

A. McCarty, at 8 r. m. The members

Caullcld, Thomas Canivan, George W.

also present. Treasurer Penwarden re
ported $1,357.27 in his hands;. also that
there was due the borough $460.01 from

Burgess Kuhbach reported a general

hucksters, peddlers or venders selling
goods from house to house ; also a col
lection of $4 license for the Lyric theatre
for the months of April and May ; und a
line nnd costs of $3.50.
The following resolution was adopted:
Jlesolvcd, That the chief of police be

the limitB of the borough of Honesdale
offers for sale any wares, goods, or mer
chandise as a huckster, peddler or ven

Consideration of the request of the
police for an advance of $10 a month
was deferred until the next meeting.
Thomas Canivan failing to turn in the
report on scrip for sidewalk of R. H.
Brown and Mr. Yerkes, he was con
tinued as a, committee of one to report
at the next meeting.
A lengthy letter to the Town Coun
cil from the Lackawaxcn Valley Rail
road Co., was read and placed on file.
It was a formal acceptance by the
Company of the provisions of the ordi
nance recently passed granting rights of
way through the borough streets, for
tracks, trolley poles, lines, etc.
After the reading by the Secretary of
an order of court to the Town Council
of Honesdale, and the supervisors of
Texas township, referring to a road
from the borough to the Cherry Ridge
road, it was decided that the Btreet' com
missioner be instructed to carry out the
order of the court, same to remain on
file until the road is completed and then
a proper return to be made.
Order made to notify the Honesdale
Consolidated L., H. and P. Co., that

A motion was passed authorizing the
borough to purchase a base fire gong.
Ordered that a new lock, with five
keys, be .placed on the supply room of
the Fire Co.
A number of bills were presented, al
lowed and ordered paid.
Base Ball and Sporting Notes.
Fielder Jones, last year's manager of
the Chicago White Sox, refused to sign
a contract unless he was taken in as one
of the partners. Chicago will lose the
services of one of the hardest ball play
ers in the business.
Pittsburg's one million dollar grand
stand is said to be the largest of its kind
in tho world. It has a capacity of over
30,000. Three shifts of men are work
ing day and night to have it ready for
the opening day on July 4th.
The chances of seeing Mike Donlin
playing with the Giants this year is very
slim not on account of his theatrical
contruct, but his physician has forbid
den him taking any violent exercise.
The outlook for base ball here this
coming season is not very bright.
Murphy, our star catcher of last year,
is thinking seriously ot playing out of
town. Kupfer, last year's third Backer,
will probably leave for New York city
Bome time this week, and Milt Salmon,
captain and second baseman of last year,
will be too busy with his law. We will
certainly have to hustle to find three men
to hold down their positions.
The first game of base ball in this sec
tion of the country took place in Car
bondale on Duffy's field on Saturday
morning between Public School No. 3
and Carbondale township High School.
Fifteen innings were played. The former
club won by the score of 5 to 4.
A smoker and boxing contest which
waB to be held at White Mills last Sat
urday by the White Mills Athletlo Club,
was postponed indefinitely.
Dick Nollin and Tony Crane, of Scran
ton, and former members of the local
team, have signed contracts for the
coming season. Nollin will play first
base for York, and Crane will play with
Williamsport.
William Cranston, of Avoca, well
known in Honesdale, having for several
seasons played with Oarbondale, baa
signed with tho Memphis team for the
Southern league.

that the dog was acting strangely, at
tempted to pet and quiet him, when the
brute made a snap at his master, catch
ing hold of one of his feet. Luckily he
had on a pair of heavy cow-hide boots,
which probably Baved him from a horri
ble death. When he saw the dog making
a jump toward him, lie threw up his
right foot to keep him off, when the dog
grabbed the toe of his boot, cutting
through the upper and just missing his
big toe. He hung on until onp of the
