How wo Pared.
Following are the institutions in this
corner of the State for which appropria
tions were recommended at the late ses
sion of the Legislature. Some of them
have already received the approval of
the Governor, and it is expected, con
sidering the modest amounts asked,
that the balance will be equally success
ful : State hospital, $142,085,223 ; State
Hospital for the Insane Criminals at
Farview, $250,000 j Hahnemann hospital,
$50,000 ; Pennsylvania Oral School for
the Deaf, $58,000 ; West Side hospital,
$37,000 ; Home for the Friendless, $16,
000 ; St. Joseph's Foundling Home, $10,
000;House.of th& Good Shepherd, $2,
500 ; Associated Charities and Humane
society, $10,000 ; St. Patrick's Orphanage,
$2,000 ; Florence Crittenton mission, $2,
000 ; West Mountain sanatorium, $10,"
000; Emergency hospital of Carbondale,
$29,000 ; Mid-Valley hospital, of Blake
ly, $30,000 ; Taylor hospital, of Taylor,
$22,700, and the Wayne County Hos
pital association, of Honesdale, $5,000.
The latter association also has $5,000 ap
propriated by the last legislature, which
is now in the state treasury and which
may be used by them if withdrawn be
fore June 1st of this year. The associa
tion will probably take up this appro
priation and begin work on the con
struction of a hospital in Honesdale in
the near future. The North American
says in this connection. Representative
Leopold Fuerth, of Wayne, introduced
the bills in which Honesdale people were
interested, and his popularity in both
houses made possible their passage.
The New York State Free Bridge
BUI.
Governor Hughes, of New York, has
signed the Whitney bill, which is a gen
eral act whereby toll bridges may be
acquired by county and state for the
public, and made free bridges. The
board of supervisors of any county may,
and upon presentation of a petition
bearing the names of 50 per cent, of the
taxpayers interested, must, pass a re
solution that public interests demand
the abolition of the toll bridge. The
matter is then put before the State Com
missioner of Highways, who turns it
over if approved to the attorney general,
who looks after the legal requirements
necessary.
The expense of condemnation and ac
quirement of the toll bridges shall be
borne thus : One-half by the state ; 35
per cent, as a general charge upon the
county, city or cities in which the bridge
is located.
When the toll bridge shall have been
acquired by the state in this manner, it
shall be maintained as a free bridge by
the town or towns, cities or city within
-which it is situated.
Postmaster Allen's Appointment
Confirmed.
A telegram from Washington to The
Citizen announces the confirmation on
Monday last, by tho Senate, of the re
appointment of Martin B. Allen as poBt
master of Honesdale.
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
An attempt is being made to popu
larize the prayer meetings of the Pres
byterian church by using more largely
the lay element.
Annual meeting for renting pews and
sittings will be held nextMonday (26th)
evening at 7:30.

titr'inlnlnr til 1WX) drifted its, lnboH on
THursday 'iae; shortly, after noon": The'
last1 day or- two was marked b)M the
usual disorderly conditions attendant
npon the last hours And at' ono'dme it
became necessary for the. speaker- to re
mind 'the House of -a desire for' order
and the transaction of the public busi
ness. ' The presents to the presiding of
ficers of the Senate and Houbo were
more e6stty than usual, and the clerks
.were very generously remembered.
To the.Burpnse of many who watched
the trend of legislation, quite a number
of the measures appropriating large
sums of money .were passed late in the
session. The Capitol Park bill went
through, providing the sum of $2,000,-
000,- divided into five parts, for the pur
chase of the property lying between the
present park and the Pennsylvania rail
road. It 1b believed that this measure
will become a law, as it requires only
$400,000 a year.
The school code, battered out of shape
and in again, Anally got through.. Since
its passage the newspapers have both
commended and condemned it, though
all agree that it is not much of an Jm
nrovement over the present law. Had
it been passed as the Commission nam
ed by the Governor originally prepared
it, we should have had a good, compre
hensive act, but it was made' the foot
ball pf politicians and amended to meet
other requirements than the needs of
the schools. The Governor has not in
timated what he will do -with it.
The Pension bill received its quietus
in the Senate Committee. It never got
as far .as the floor of the Senate although
n'belated effort was made to get it out
pi committee
1 .judges all over the'State are probably
anticipating an increase in salary after
June first, but the Governor should die
appoint them in this. With an increase
in the price of the necessaries of life and
no complaint from the judiciary that
they are not adequately compensated
for their labors, it seems an inopportune
time to voluntarily increase the salaries
of a class, most of whom are .already
very well paid. Over $400,000 a year ad
ditional will be required to take care of
this present to the Judges. To secure
this sum an equal amount must be de
ducted from the appropriations to hos
pitals and charitable institutions, for
this Legislature passed no new revenue
acts. In. fact, every measure providing
for more .revenue was ruthlessly slaugh
tered.
What was known as the Governor's
road bill got'through, with a rider. This
rider increases the salary of the State
Highway Commissioner from $5,000 to
$10,000 a year, and . that of the Deputy
from $3,500 to $5,000. It will be re:
membeied that a bill that was introduced
providing far that increase was killed in
the Senate, but evidently the backers.of
the measure were old hands at the busi
ness and secured the same result in an
other way. It is hinted that the Gover
nor may cut the appropriation for this
road, so that only half the amount will
be available. Not much more than that
amount can be utilized for the next two
years
Dr. Dixon's Health Department gets
a trifle over $3,000,000 for two years
and no one who knows the Doctor will
doubt that he will make the fund do a
lot of good. A large part of this will be
used to fight tuberculosis, a subject in
which all the states are taking a great
interest
Nearly two thousand bills were intro
duced in both houses, but less than half
that number got to the Governor. So
far he has signed but 60 bills, vetoed
four and returned 10. Appropriation
bills aggregating nearly $62,000,000 were
passed, which is a falling off of about
$10,000,000 aH compared with 1007. To
meet this call for money the state will
have approximately $45,000,000, so the
Governor will have to reduce the gifts
by about $17,000,000. There are many
bills which the Governor will allow to
go through without cutting off any of the
amount, such as the school appropria
tion of $15,000,000. To equalize and
keep the expenditures within the income,
it will be necessary to reduce appropria
tions by from 20 to 30 per cent., some
perhaps more, some less.
With over 700 bills dumped on his
desk at the closing of the session, Gover
nor Stuart is sentenced to hard labor
and solitary confinement for thirty days.
What is not disposed of by May 15th
becomes law, the same as if it had been
regularly signed.
Excepting the bill legalizing the uso
of benzoate of soda, the Legislature
passed several bills in the interest of pure
food. Commissioner Foust is already
hard at work enforcing them, compell
ing the furnishing of pure milk, eggs
that are fresh, ice cream free from im
purity and canned goods that are what
they seem. No more need we put up
with lard that is a total stranger to the
pig, and lemonade; even that furnished
by the circus, must be up to the stand'
ard.
During the closing days of the
Besslon Senator McNlchol, of Phtla
delphia, got through a resolution
requesting tho Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings to havi the
statue of Senator Quay placed in the
new Capitol, in a niche lh one of
the corridors. This marble statue
was authorized by 'the Legislature
of 1905, during Governor Penny
packer's term, and has been the
source of a lot of newspaper talk

OP LOCAL INTEREST,
A large number or children of

Lyric Hall on Friday evening next.
On Friday evening a horse
driven by William Watts, of Haw-
ley, was frightened by an automo
bile near the Indian Orchard ceme
tery, and plunged into a barbed
wire fence along the roadside. He
was severely cut about the breast
and was taken to Honesdale where
Dr. Lidstone gave the animal neces
sary attention, the wounds re
quiring a number of stitches. The
wagon was also damaged.
W. J. Silverstone, of Scranton,
Is now making Honesdale his head'
quarters. He is employed by the
Scranton Tribune Publishing Co.
The following from the "Stroller's
Note Book" of our flourishing
Scranton contemporary, more fully
explains Mr. SUverstone's mission:
"I am pleased to note that W. J.
Silverstone is to have charge of the
Tribune's Interests at Honesdale,
Hawley, White Mills and other en
terprising cities and towns in fair
Wayne county. Mr. Silverstone, is
so well known throughout the

tlon to the people over there who
will welcome him home again. Mr.
Silverstone takes charge to-day, aqd
will be prepared to serve Northeast
ern Pennsylvania's most popular
paper to the citizens of Wayne
county ahead of all others. But'-It
is perhaps unnecessary for me to
dwell upon the matter here The.
people of Wayne county all ,know
"Billy"' and he Is capable of speafc
ing for himself."

Death of flea. H. NV1 Farley.
,, . . y Trr rl ; ;J3lV
A dispatch from Equlnuiik shortly
before we go to. press ,,anifounceB
the sudden death of Hon., H. ,Nv
Farley on Monday evening, April
19th. We Have "been 'unable to ,qb
tain .nny i particulars, and can only'
surmise luui, vuuuiuunn previous
attacks, he may .have succumbed to
a hemorrhage of the' lungs, although
there are rumors that he died of an
apoplectic seizure. Mr. Farley s
wife, who died several years bro.
was MisS Myrri Calder,' daughter of
lealah Cal'der, another of whose
daughters -was the wife of Hon. Wm.
M. Nelson. Mr. Farley la survived
by a- son, Calder Farley, an emi
bent electrician, .now living, in the
west.
Harvey' Nelson Farley was one of
the foremost citizens of northern
Wayne. He was a farmer's son, born
near Goshen, N. Y., August 5, 1853,
and' his youth was passed in the
labors of the farm. His education
was begun in the common .school.
Later, he attended the academy at
Goshen, and afterward took a
thorough business course at the
famous Eastman Business College at
Poughkeepsle, N. Y. He then pass
ed some time as clerk in a large
mercantile establishment In Goshen,
In 1870 ho went to Equlnunk,
Wayne county, and took a position
in the store which his uncle, Hon,
Wm. M. Nelson, carried on. Not
long afterward he purchased an In
terest In the business, and in 1874
became sole proprietor. He con
tinued the business with marked
success until the present time. Lat
er, he was associated with Mr. Nel
son, in the purchase of all the lands
of the Calder estate. Subsequently
he became interested in various. In
dustrlal enterprises; among them
being the manufacture of wood
acid, and the shipment of- milk to
Newi York, In which he was the
pioneer In this county. Later he
conducted, up to the date of his
death, a large milk bottling estab
lishment, from which the product
is shipped to New York. In 1882
he was appointed postmaster, a po
sltlon which he held until 1900
Mr. Farley was always an earnest
Republican, and for many years he
was recognized as a leader In 'his
section. His political course was1
based on principle, and he. was not'
an office seeker; but in 1904, the
consensus of opinion In the party
pointed to him as a candidate ior
the Legislature on whom all Re:
publicans would unite. He received
the- Republican nomination with' Dr'
B. Stevens as his colleague, ami
In the ensuing election was given
the highest vote acccorded any Leg
islatlve candidate. While in tho
Assembly he gave careful, consclen
tlous and efficient attention to his
duties, and left a most creditable
record. In short Mr. Farley was a
careful student of the conditions af
fecting the agricultural Interests of
the county, a man of high intelli
gence, broad views, manly Inde
pendence, courteous demeanor and
through honesty.
The Man Who Advertised.
There was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise.
When business got dull
He'd always advertise.
And when his goods was all sold out
With all his might and main,
He'd hustle 'round and get some
more,
And advertise again.
And now that man Is very rich,
And he has just retired:
While the Arms that didn't adver
tise
Have most of them expired.
