The Citizen Is interested In a thorough organization of the party and a unification of every Interest that we may poll our full vote at fut ure elections. A CURFEW LAW. The impression, which, in many minds has become a conviction, that the recent high school building fire was due to the carelessness of mischievous boys, and that most of the after-dark annoyances in our parks and on our streets and bridges, and about the residences and yards of private citizens, are attributable to the'snme cause, has renewed discus sion as to the propriety of the enforce ment of a curfew law in Honcsdale. In order that the hoodlum element of our population may know what to ex pect if such an ordinance is enacted and enforced here, we give the text of the curfew law recently approved by Gover nor Hughes, for the relief of the city of Middletown, N. Y., from annoyances similar to those to which our people are subjected. The law authorizes the Common Coun cil "To regulate and prohibit the pres ence in or upon any of the streets, alleys, public parks, or places, in the citv of Middletown at night, after such hours as shall be determined and specified, of any children under such age as shall be determined and specified, unaccompan ied by parent, guardian or other person having legal custody or control of such children, and to make it unlawful for any parent, guardian or other person having legal custody or control of any child under such determined and speci fied age, to permit such child lo be or remain in, on or upon any of the streels. alleys, public parks or places in said city, after the hour at night as deter mined and specified when prohibited; to prescribe penalties for the violation of said ordinance, and to prescribe regula tions for the police force in the city of Middletown for the enforcement of the same, and for the recorder of the re corder's court of said city of Middle town for the punishment of the terms of said ordinance." COXSTAllLKS' kktcuxs. In a few weeks the constables of this county will be making their re turns to court in conformity with law. It is notorious that a great many of these returns are made In a perfunctory manner and that the returns do not serve the purpose which the law intended of informing the court in detail as to the condi tions existing in the various districts of the county. Yet every constable gets a fee, and a good one, for making a return; it ought to be truthful and exact as the law intends, and every blank is so prepared that no detail specified by the law can he forgotten or omitted. One of the leading questions on the return blank Is in regard to whether Index boards are all up at the intersection of public roads. There are many points where index boards are noded and the traveler finds none. Another question relative to the condition of roads and bridges is too often ignored. ln fact there is no conscientious care exercised in an swering most of the questions pro pounded to the constables. The re turn sheet Is no joke, and if the' Court or the District Attorney should bring them up with a short turn It might be embarrassing should It de velop that there had been wilful mis representation of the facts under oath. The Instructions by the i Court printed on the return-sheet are very plain; to make a false return Is per jury. The return is important and for serious and careful considera tion. The President of the United States elect Is not notified by any one that he was elected. He reads It In the papers the same as every one else does. CONVICT SLAYER OF MOTHER. Itclinnr J. Young, of Erie, Found Guilty In Second Degree. Erie, Pa., May 24. Delmar J. Young, Indicted. for the brutal mur der of his aged mother on the night of April 7, was found guilty of mur der In the second degree by the jury which reported in, court at 9 o'clock this morning, after about six hours' deliberation. The defendant, who, throughout the trial has shown practically no emotion, received the announcement of his fate with perfect calm and smiled at friends in the audience as he was being led back to his cell. Counsel for the defense announced that they would make application for a new trial, several exceptions to the rulings of the court having been tak en during the trial. Get Out in tlio Sunlight. The season of sunlight is with us again, ard the Heading Times, always an ex ponent of outdoor exercise, appropriate ly suggests that it behooves nil to go out and enjoy the sunshine and breathe the pure country air. Let us cut out too much meat, medicine and melancholy, and breathe deeper and cat vegetables and satisfy our olfactory nerves with the odor of trees and flowers and gladden our ears with the songs of birds. All the organs of the human body need change of environment more than they need rest; for change is rest and recrea tion combined. The human body requires seasons of excitement to increase circulation and cause deeper and fuller breathing. Dr, Ingersoll, of a Colorado town, once tc- marked that it was worth $10 to every citizen of a country town to have a cir cus visit the place, with its cheerful bands of music and gilded cages of ani mats and steam caliope. It broke the monotony and gave the mind fresh food to digest. Well, next to a circus for the town people, is a trip out in the country. If you can't afford a carriage, walk. After all, walking is the healthiest exercise of all. Walk with a vim, breathe deep and let your mind rest on hopeful things. If you are tired when you get back home, lie down and take a sleep. Don't take a stimulant or you will kill all the good effects of your walk. You will get up refreshed in mind and body. New thoughts will take the place of the old worries. While you are work ing the long, winding country roads will come back and thread through your memory, dotted with pretty fields nnd farmhouses on every side, with rounded hilltops in the distance nnd green trees down in the pasture fields, and soft clouds floating overhead like visible dreams of hope. Enjoy -the sunshine while it is here, for winter will be back again in less than seven months. In its weekly review of the coal trade, the Coal Trade Journal (New York city) speaks hopefully of the anthracite business. We quote as follows : "The anthracite trade is very quiet, in view of the heavy sales effected in March and April, but there will probably be a re vival next week, following effort by buyers to take advantage of the discount of -10 cents a ton. While dullness 1ms prevailed for something like three weeks, following the settlement of the labor controversy, there has been rather more trade activity than was expected, and we think that right through the season, excepting, perhaps, for a short time in midsummer, there will be mote tonnage disposed of than the early estimates al lowed for. Certainly we would not have the reports of full time, or even of four or five days' activity, if the managers of the large companies really believed that a long period of dullness faced the trade. As we have often said before, the de mand for hard coal is such a positive and constant one that a large tonnage can be counted upon every week and every month, almost regardlessof chang ing conditions of general business. With several vexed questions disposed of and a steady market assured, this branch of the industry can run along in the most comfortable manner, for a long while to come." Axi) now the American goosebone weather prophet is to have a rival. Part of the cargo brought to New York by a steamer the other day was a consign ment of 400 tree-frogs. These little ani mals are not of the edible variety. Their value at home, and especially to the German peasant, consists in their ability as weather indicators. German scient ists reject the theory of frog forecasting, just as American students of meteor ology and government officials turn down the goosebone, the groundhog, the fel lows who make long distance predic tions and others classed generally as fakes by men who claim to be guided wholly by scientific data, and thus to be of light and leading in this specialty. But many of the plain people in Ger many have full confidence in the croak ing of tree-frogs as a sure warning of the approach of bad weather, while silence on the part of the little reptiles means unclouded skies and freedom from storm. And as there are in the United States many worthy persons of German nativity or descent, the small frogs prove to be ready sellers. Amer ica has quite a musical brand of tree frogs. But whether they are- weather prophets is another question. Most tourists in starting for Europe have their minds filled with the splendid sights in store for them while visiting the cities nnd scenes of historical inter est in the old country, but quite a large percentage of travelers go abroad for the benefit of their health, and for such the ocean voyage is expected to have a decided salutary effect. The longer the trip, therefore, the more time spent on the water, and consequently the greater benefit to the health-seeker. In the days of sailing passenger ships, one had plenty of time to enjoy the salt sea breezes and inhale the life giving ozone, but nowadays ocean traveling, at some thing resembling express train speed, is not regarded as the ideal thing by those who go to sea for the sake of the voyage itself. You hardly get settled in your stateroom and acquainted with your neighbor at the dining table, or on speaking terms with the man whose steamer chair is next to yours on the promenade deck, before you sight cither the Cornish Coast or the Sandy Hook Lightship. It is a rushing, tearing, hustling method of Transatlantic travel for which we are indebted to a people whom we have been accustomed pity ingly to regard as "slow." It denies to the tired individual the wholesome rest and tonic of the eight or nine sea days that more leisurely liners afford. Of course the moral follows : If you want the greatest possible benefit from an ocean voyage, go down to the sea in a slow ship. By n liberal estimate there nre fifteen millionaires in the United States Senate. If the' exact truth about the state of the finances of these men were known, it is likely that several of them would be dropped from this list of modern Mldases. It's not an easy thing to nscertain correctly the worldly pos sessions of people, these days. However, the following senators are generally looked upon In Washing ton as, being millionaires, some of them multl-milllonalres: Nelson 13. Aldrlch, of Rhode Island, Morgan G. Bulkeley of Connecticut, W. Murray Crane of Massachusetts, Chauncey M. Depew of New York, Henry A Du Pont of Delaware, Stephen B. Elklns of West Virginia, Simon Guggenheim of Colorado, Francis G Newlands, of Nevada, George S. Nixon of Nevada, George T. Oliver of Pennsylvania, Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia, Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin, Francis E. Warren of Wyoming, John Kean of New Jer sey nnd George P. Wctrnoro of Rhode Island. There are several other men who might be termed "nenr millionaires." They Include Jonathan Bourne of Oregon, George C. Perkins, of California, Ellhu Hoot of New York and Charles J Hughes, Jr., of Colorado. Very few Honesdalcrs, having any time to spare in New York City, fail to visit the Aquarium at Castle Garden, yet not many, while In specting the wonderful collection of fishes, appreciate the fact that the building itself has a history render ing It well worthy of a visit on its own account. It was built by the United States Government in 1S07 ' from plans drawn by Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Williams, and was called Fort Clinton. In 1S22 it was ceded to the City of New York and in 1S24 became a place of amuse ment, getting its present name in 1 820, or thereabouts. In lS4r Ethiopian minstrels were there nnd in 184(i to 1S4!) theatrical compan ies played there. Jenny Llnd sang there In 1S50. It was closed as a place of amusement in 1855 and the commissioners of immigration took it as an immigration depot. In 1870 it was partly burned and on July 9, 187C, it was entirely destroyed by fire. It was at once rebuilt and in 1S92 when the depot was removed to Ellis Island, the building, re verted to the city and in 1896 the Aquarium was opened there. The Change of Years. The sentiment which surrounded Memorial Day with feelings of sacred character, when it was inaugurated 41 years ago, says a thoughtful exchange, has in a measure passed away with the lapse of time. Then the majority of the people of the United States had the graves of fathers, sons or brothers who had given their lives to the union to mark for honor and tender recollection. The memories of the great struggle for the union and freedom were enhanced by personal memories of the dead. The lapse of years have wrought an inevitable change. Even to the older part of the community who retain the memory of the civil war and its heroes the freshness of the recollection is lessen ed by the passage of time. The greater part of the community is a new genera tion, whose knowledge of the events originally designed to be commemorat ed is obtained by reading or at second hand, without the force of personal memory. Naturally, therefore, the pro gress of time has made Memorial Day an anniversary of honor for the principle of patriotism and of the memories of the dead, more than a revival of the personal feelings that hallowed the first two decades of the observance. No Money for Bounties. No more bounty will be paid for nox ious animals, for two years, at least. The following letter from the Auditor General to the County Commissioners is the explanation : "This is to advise you that the Legis lature failed to make any appropriation for the payment ol bounties on noxious animals for the two years beginning June 1st, 1909. "It did make an appropriation of $40, 000 to pay the deficiency that already exists. Of this $40,000, over $27,000 is already due to the various counties for the balance of bills that were due up to August 12, 1908, at which timo we dis tributed the balance of the former ap propriation then in the treasury. From data on hand, we are convinced that the remaining $1:1,000 will not be suffici ent to reimburse the counties for those bills which have already been paid, but not presented to this department. Wo have, therefore, to request that you pay no more of these scalp bounties." Under the law a bounty of $2 was paid for every fox; $4 for each wildcat, and $1 for each weasel and mink killled in the State. These bounties were paid by the counties where the animals were killed, and the counties were in turn re imbursed by the State. Many hunters secured a nice revenue by the killing of such animals, but the removal of the bounty may now result in a large in crease of these animals nnd the conse quent destruction of game birds.
