the D. & II. freight station in this
place, awaiting a claimant. The
friends of the deceased are request
ed to call for the same, and see that

heroine in Fay Wallace will all bo
seen in the big dramatic success,
"Polly of the Circus," at the Lyric
to-night.
The Gardner-Vincent Stock Com
pany closes its four weeks' engagement
at the Lyric Theatre Saturday evening,
with the beautiful production of "Sapho."
Although the undertaking of inaugurat
ing a stock company for so many weeks
in a town the size of Honesdale was a
great venture, the management of the
Lyric is much pleased t6 make the an
nouncement that it has been a very suc
cessful engagement, financially as well as
artistically. The Gardner-Vincent Co.
came here with the fine reputation which
they had gained on several other occa
sions and they will leave Honesdale with
even more popularity than when they
entered upon their present engagement.
All plays were largely attended during
the month, but the largest sale of seats
was for the performance of Thursday
evening, the play being the much talked
about "Sapho," which will be present
ed for the last time and which will also
close the Gardner-Vincent engagement
here on Saturday evenintr.
On the opening day of the third an
nual diocesan convention of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church at Garden City,
L. I., on Tuesday last, a startling and
most disconcerting episode occurred.
The session was opened with the regular
communion service in thi Cathedral of
the Incarnation. After the anthems
had been sung a low moan was heard
from among the choir boys, and Alfred
Palamountain, one of the tenors, was
seen to lift the limp body of Andrew
Orth, a soprano, who had fainted be
cause of lack of fresh air and the pro
longed service, and place it on a bench.
Hardly had he done this when another
groan was heard and Koger Sinclair
Ellison, another singer, thinking that
Orth had fallen dead, swooned. George
Navio, believing both of the other boys
were dead, also fainted. The three boys
were hurried out and placed on the
grass. They were soon revived. The
automobile of Philander C. Jennings
was then procured to take the boys to
St. Paul's school. The boys were plac
ed in the tonneau and as Mr. Jennings
was backing out the rear wheels of his
car slipped into a ditch. The machine
waa pulled out by ten of the ministers
with the aid of two planks. After the
excitement had subsided a marblo bust
of Abram Newkirk Littlejohn, D. D., D.
C. L., LL D., the first Bishop of Long
Island, was unveiled and a short ad
dress was made by the Rev. Dr. Henry
O. Swentzel, formerly rector of Grace
Church of this borough.
The completely metamorphosed
Commercial Hotel, formerly tho
Coyne House, corner of Main and
Sixth streets, was formally opened
to the public on Wednesday after
noon and evening last. Hundreds
of our townspeople visited the ho
tel, and were courteously shown
through tho establishment by tho
new owner and proprietor, C. J.
Weaver. The general concensus of
opinion, after such inspection, was
that the Commercial takes no sec
ond rank among Honesdald's line
hostelrles, all of its appointments
being not only absolutely new, but
of the latest style and finish, and
certain to meet tho requirements
of the most fatldious taste. The
gentlemanly office clerk, James W.
Bnker, whose many years service
In a similar capacity at the Allen
House, has made his name a house
hold word among the traveling
public, will greet the patrons of
the hotel with all of his old time
courtesy; and all other departments
of (he Commercial will be found to
be in competent and experienced
hands. We reserve a detailed de
scriptim of this new candidate for
populat patronage and favor for a
future article.
There will be a special meeting of

It must be annoying to correspon
dents to find their items marred by the
occasional misspelling of proper names.
Hut they have only themselves to blame
when blemishes of this sort occur. We
do our best to decipher every thing sub
mitted to uf ; but when names are in
volved, or figures obscure, it is clearly
beyond our power lo correct nil mis
takes. Thisis the 'steenth time we have
called attention to this trouble, and sin
cerely hope it may be the last.

a comparatively unknown millionaire,
whose estate, It Is estimated, Is worth

An unfeeling monster of a man
although a writer In the Atchison
Globe does not so describe him was
ased at a little evening gathering tc
tell what book had helped him most
"My wife's cook-book," ho replied,
after some thought.
All the ladles present bridled, and
one asked him in what way his wife's
cook-book had helped him would he
not tell them in a few words?
He would.
"About as soon as I married," ho
said, "I made up my mind I'd rather
work than eat."
It Might Be Either.
A bony, lank village youth of artis
tic bent, who- was sniffed at by bis fel
low natives, finally disappeared from
his usual haunts. He was missed
chiefly because his peculiar personal
appearance was bound to attract at
tention wherever it was exhibited.
No one seemed to know whither the
lad had gone, till the storekeeper, re
turning from a visit to a near-by city,
announced that he had discovered his
whereabouts.
"I found him!" he proclaimed. "He
was In the art museum."
"As a curio," Inquired one, "or as
an object of art?"

Not Wholly Careless.
Thomas Chett was a meek but care
less clerk, who, through no greater
fault than carelessness, was continu
ally blundering in his work. His most
usual mistake was to misdirect let
ters, either by substituting a wrong
street number, or by writing, say
"CiL" for "Col." One day his em
plnyer laid on his desk a letter which
ha." been over a month In the malls
without reaching its destination and
all because of Thomas's error.
"Now, this has got to stop," said his
employer. "Such delays waste time
and money. If you had used an en
velope which hadn't had our address
In the corner, we might never hove
known where this letter went to."
"That's true," assented the humble
clerk. "But I am always careful to
use that kind of envelope Just for that
reison.
Being a little slow of comprehen
sion, he did not understand why his
patient employer bit his Hp and turn
ed away smiling.
PRESIDENT LAYS CORNERSTONE
Deolares That Future of the Negro It
Hopeful and Bright.
Washington, May 27. Speaking to
the colored graduates of Howard uni
versity In this city, President Taft de
clared that never at any time has the
future of the negro as a race appeared
more hopeful and bright than at the
present day. Conditions for the negro
in tho south, the president said, are
growing bettor and better.
The tusk of educating the negro and
especially of educating leaders among
tho race, the president asserted, was n
debt owed by the government, a debt
only too difficult of repayment becnuse
of the constitutional limits of the gov
ernment In dealing with the Individ
ual. President Taft handed to the hun
dred candidates for degrees their
parchment rolls. Then he wns escorted
to tho foundation of the new Carnegie
library of the university, where he offi
ciated at the laying of tho cornerstone.
The president evidently enjoyed the
privilege of being a real mason, for he
not only applied the customary first
dash of mortar, but worked Industri
ously with the silver trowel until he
had covered the entlro resting place
for the well proimrtloned stone. Secre
tary of the Interior Bnllluger was also
called upon to wield the trowel.
"Come on, Balllngcr; you might as
well help," said tie president to the
secretary, under whose department the
control of Howard university comes.
"But don't put too much." the presi
dent added, "and spoil the job."
