Miss Ruth Ruppert, on Sunday last had the second toe of her right foot amputated by Dr. Ely. It is what is called a "hammer toe." On Saturday the Honesdale High school base ball team defeated the Bethany team at the latter place by the score of 12 to C. Still the sweet slumbers of the six o'clock snoozer succumb to the shrieks of the soul-startling syren. Surely, 'tis sad. Sunday was a cool, beautiful day, and Honesdale had many visi tors. One gentleman tells us that he counted .IS strange automobiles on Main street. The Wayne County Savings Bank, at its semi-annual meeting, last week, declared a semi-annual dividend of 12 per cent, and placed ?10,000 in the surplus fund. A report is in circulation that the Standard Oil Co. is about to make butter out of the refuse of crude oil. That would not be nice, but undoubtedly an improvement upon the average oleomargarine. It is reported that Albeit L. Fritz, supervisor of the Jefferson division of the Erie, is to bo trans ferred to Jersey City, and that Charles Madlll, of that place, will succeed Mr. Fritz. The Milford Press says that the application of "gluteln" to the streets of that borough has proven a great blessing in laying dust. Makes the surface hard and smooth. We shall have to read up on "glutein." A traveling salesman for a prominent New York house, inform ed us, yesterday, that the price of all ready-made clothing would, next spring, be advanced from 10 to 13 per cent. Whew! that hits us hard. It is said that there is dissatis faction in some quarters, that the officers of the 13th Regment rode to Mt. Gretna in Pullman coaches while the privates were crowded Into "dinkey cars." What's the use of being an officer if you can't have the best? The Erie's roll of honor for July contains the names of three employes each of whom discover ed and had removed a dragging brake-beam. The names are E. L. Clement, Port Jervis; A. L. Bor land, Hankins, Wm. Wall, Long Eddy. Mr. W. W. Wood, Jr., who left here Monday of last week for , Seattle, Wash., got off his train at Jamestown, for a lunch, and was left. A mile west of the station the train was wrecked and some people injured. W. W. says he is glad he failed to connect. tjon't let the Home Coming Ween slip your mind. The princi pal days for public exercise will be Sept. 3d and 4th. Tell all your friends, who ever lived here, about It, and have them como "home" and bring their friends. The program, which is In course of preparaton, will be published soon. "How to get rid of ants on a lawn," read a Church street young lady to her chum, last evening. "Wonder how they do that." "I know how we did It," was the re sponse. "We Just didn't Invite her here, this summer. Last year we girls never could have a gentleman caller, that she wasn't sticking around." We wouldn't really enjoy hav ing been any one of the three prominent Scranton women who were judges at the Times baby how at Luna Park last Thursday. There were 1,070 smiling (?) Infants on exhibition and there were but thirty prizes to disburse. Think of the scathing, Indignant anathe mas that have been hurled at those unfortunate judges by 1,040 wrong ed mothers! The Times shouldn't July, thus far, has exhibited a marked coolness in its demeanor. The two large smoke stacks at tho electric light stations have been painted. The Port Jervis Union says that whisky is a sure antidote for rattlesnake bite. Wonder how It knows. It is said that "the good die young," but don't mention It In the presence of the old and respected citizen. Nine persons took the exami nation for the rural free delivery route, which was held at the City Hall, by Miss Margaret Grlflln, on Saturday morning. Marriage lcenses have been granted to Peter Bosto, of Carbon dale, and Katie Lisowskl, of Fer moy; Andrew Berry and Mrs. Eliza beth Combes of Scranton. Burglars abducted from the home of Thomas Klrkwood, of River street, Carbondale, last Saturday night, seven dollars In money. Such a large sum of currency should nev er be left all by itself, is probably what the abductor thought. Honesdale, for handsome, lady like, nlcely-attlred young women, can give points to any town of Its size In the country, and easily win. That, at least, Is the opinion of all visitors here, and it speaks well for Hones dale. Mrs. Elizabeth Pfelfer, aged 87, died at her home in Aldenvllle, on Saturday. The funeral was held yesterday morning (Tuesday) at 9:30, at St. Mary Magdalen's church; Interment In the German Catholic cemetery. The next piece of road to be reconstructed In this county In the order of the application on file in the state highway department will extend from Honesdale line through Texas township to the Cherry Ridge line. An inventory of the personal property of the estate of the late Wm. Connell, of Scranton, puts it at ?2,989,SGG. The inventory of the real estate has not yet been taken, but it is estimated at something over $2,000, 00". Two young men of Scranton, on Sunday night, "held up" two burly citizens on the street, and asked for a chew of tobacco. They were Im mediately "necked" by the outraged big citizens and turned over to the police. Be careful how you beg a "chew" in Scranton. Rev. Dr. Woolston, of Philadel phia, will lecture in the Baptist church, Thursday of this week. Rev. Woolston is a man of wonder ful voice, simplicity of manner, and a great success. As a lecturer and picture-preacher lie never fails to charm and fascinate his audiences. Pennsylvania's new fish law has the following: Outlines can not be used until June 1 ; season for same closes Nov. 30; carp, suckers, mul lets, eels, and catfish only can be caught with outlines. Not more than 100 snoods and hooks can be used. Penalty, ?20. Fike nets can be used in every month except June. Maurice, aged eleven years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Avery, died at his home in Scranton Saturday, from injuries received by loose pow der, while celebrating July 4th. W. T. McAndrews, claironet player In the 13th Regt. Band, died 'at Camp John Denithorne, Mt. Gretna, last Monday night of peri tonitis. Two young people of this place had "an awful" experience last night. They wandered In the woods in the afternoon until, as they say, they were "completely lost." When they restored themselves to their families at 11 p. m. there was great rejoicing. The "old man" says that next time that couple goes out he will surely send a guide. Don't send any more tinselled or frosted post cards, or, at least, don't attempt it, unless you place them in closely sealed envelopes. If you do, they will land promptly in the dead letter office. This ac tion on the part of the Government is to save the mail-clerk's eyes, and also the muss which the tinsel and "frost" causes in its offices and mail bags. The Monticello Watchman tells of a boy who celebrated the 4th in " bang-up" style. He was firing a small cannon, and the thing failed to go off. He picked it up and intensely scrutinized its Interior. That caused the gun to remember itself and It "went." The lad now sees the world with one eye, he Is minus two fingers, his countenance Is twisted, and he is nursing three broken ribs. Ho had a "big time." Wllkes-Barre has a "bridge of sighs." Grace Dean and her lover had a quarrel Saturday last, and she sought to "loose the golden thread" by Jumping off the North street bridge. She was pulled out of the water, notwithstanding her declara tions that she wanted to die and her recreant lover was arrested. Just what the charge aganst him is, does not appear. It may be possible that It Is against the city's ordinances to have a misunderstanding with one's best girl. The Sunday school of Grace Episcopal church will gather in the Sunday school rooms on Wednes day, July 14th, at ono o'clock and at 1:30 p, m. sharp, will proceed to Bellevue Park for their annual pic nic. Those living at the south end of the town will meet them at the Pfth street bridge. There will be sports and games of all sorts, Includ ing, It is hoped, a base ball game between the Indian Orchard Sunday school and the Honesdale Sunday The Mannerchor Society and a number of friends held their annual outing at Fortenia on Sunday. This is the season when lawyers take their annual rest, and peace will again "hover" for a little while. The winsome strawberry has made its annual adleux to this lo cality, much to the grief of its ad mirers. The Westfleld Free Press has discovered a wild man in the woods near that place. There are some newspaper men who can make a paper Interesting, even when real news Is dull. Many of our exchanges complain that the trees are already losing their foliage, and that It is due to the ap petite of the plant-louse. State En tomologist Fell tells them not to worry about it as the natural enemies of the louse, as the lady bug and the maggots of the flower flies will soon do for them. PERSONAL.
