But He was Arrested for This Un

ping Nathaniel Wood. It appears

and young Wood, with several of
his companions, were standing along
I the roadside. As Bates passed
j them some one threw mud at the
vehicle in which Mr. Bates was
! riding. This made Mr. Bates very
angry, so lie jumped down from his
wagon and struck young Wood sev
eral times with the whip. The boy's
tather claimed that his son did not
throw the mud. Bates plead guilty
to the charges and was let off by
paying the costs.
THE LAST STDAW
The man witli a thirst has Vallen
on evil days. The moral sense of
the community is against him, good
manners are against him, and fin
ally, even scienc e, like the rushed
worm, has turned. The belief that
alcohol is a food lias gone the way
of exploded fallacies, and now there
I arises a Kentucky doctor who, after
I repeated experiments, assures us
I that whisky is bad for people bitton
i by snakes,
it is tne last Mow. J.y many
I people, the snakes of America have
been considered a national asset.
You could always hire a snake to
I hue you, and one little thrust of
the venomous fang excused a man
for a month's indulgence. Some-
times a highball was taken without
i even waiting for the snake.
Dr. Allen, the specialist in snake
poisons, made his experiments with
I the venom of the copperhead moc
casin. A number of sober rats were
poisoned and an equal injection of
the venom was made with rats who
had imbibed not wisely but too
well. The alcohol rats succumbed
earlier than did the teetotaler
rodents. One rat, who was thorough
ly saturated with whisky, before
and after being bitten, wab the first
to die. Dr. Allen asserts that, while
snake-venom weakens the heart and
lowers blood pressure, whisky de
presses the vitality of the white
blood cells, the defenders of the
body, which neutralize and destroy
the
snaKe-toxins. He says that
"many a man has been killed with
huge closes of whisky instead of dy
ing as a result of snake-poisoning."
It is probnble that hereafter snake
bites will become less common In
America.

LINEMAN MEETS DEATH.
Henry Carr Is Electrocuted While
Repairing Cable nt Throop.
Henry Carr, of 902 North Wash
ington avenue, Scrnnton, was
electrocuted at 2 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon while repairing telephone
cables for the New Telephone com
pany at Throop. Carr worked as
a lineman for the company.
Carr was sitting on one of the
cross arms of a high pole, replacing
one of the telephone cables when
liis leg came In contnet with a live
wire. Fellow workmen who saw
him sway kept him from falling to
the ground.
Carr died five minutes after be
ing taken down from the pole. The
only mark on his body was a slight
burn on the left hip.
Carr was well known In Hones
dale. having worked for the Con
folidated Telephone Company nt
tills place. He made his home
here until a few months ago. His
brother, who resides in this place,

"AT CKIPPLE CHEEK."
"At Cripple Creek," melodramatic
as the name implies, does not deal
with the usual run of blood-and-thunder
which is usual with plays
of this nature. A well woven story
witli plenty of pathos and comedy
combined; an excellent company of
players, and a fine production with
as handsome scenic nnd electrical
effects as could be wished for, make
this piece one of the best produc
tions seen In this plnce. Under the
direction of Charles H. Wurz, the
play will be seen here at the Lyric
on Wednesday evening, Sept. 1.
SUTTON KILLED HIMSELF.
So Decides the Naval Court.
The naval board of Inquiry in the
case of tho death of Lieutenant
James N. Sutton has found that
Lieutenant Sutton "was killed by a
bullet shot from a service Colt re
volver held in his own right hand,
and llred by himself without the
Intervention of any other hand."
The court adds as Its opinion that
"No possible charge of criminality
lies against any of the participants
in tho fray, except Lieutenant Sut
ton himself and that Lieutenant
Sutton is directly and solely re
sponsible for his own death, which
was self-inllicted, either intention
ally or in an effort to shoot one of
the persons restraining him, and
his death was not caused by any
other Injury whatever."
Of the charges made by the
mother of Lieutenant Sutton, the
court says:
"The charges of wilful murder
and conspiracy to conceal it made
by tho complainant, Mrs. Sutton,
mother of Lieutenant Sutton, are
purely imaginary and unsupported
by even a shadow of evidence, truth
or reason."
A minority report wns made by
Commander John Hood, U. S. N.,
president of tht court, in Which he
concurs to the findings and adds
that he is of tho opinion that Lieu
tenants Willing, Bevan and Utley
should have been brought to trial
nt the time for neglect of duty, and
that Lieutenants Adams and Oster
man should have received greater
punishment for engaging in a brawl
unbecoming officers and gentlemen.
He concurs in the recommenda
tion that no further proceedings
be taken at this time only because
of their youth and inexperience at
that time, and because of their be
ing, in a sense, the victims of a sys
tem for which they themselves were
not responsible.
Beekman Winthrop, acting sec
retary of the navy, also takes oc
casion in approving the findings ol
the court, to deprecate tho laxity
of discipline as shown In the testi
mony. He says:
"The results of this laxitv have
brought serious discredit not only
on the ofTlcers directly responsible
for the efficiency of the institution,
but, unfortunately, on the marine
corps as a whole."

A HAPPY TIME.
A Time, lionf to be Remembered,
To be Celebrated Here.
There are to-day many hundreds
of people whose fortunes have led
them elsewhere, but who cherish
Honesdale, and Wayne county, of
which the borough is the sent of
Justice, as their birthplace or former
home, and who have loved ones,
friends and relatives here. The
thoughts of these wnnderers con
stantly turn to their old home, nnd
they fondly cherish a hope that
some day they may again be per
mitted to grasp the hands of never-to-be-forgotten
friends nnd gaze on
the scenes of their earlier days.
Too often this happy event Is put
off from week to week, and year to
year, under the plea of "a more
convenient season," until, through
the Interposition of unforeseen cir
cumstances, the long cherished de
sire is at length necessarily abandon
ed, and the realization of the fond
est dreams of kindred hearts hope
lessly frustrated.
In view of these facts and In the
confident belief that the plan will
be cheerfully and very generally
approved by former residents of
Honesdnle and vicinity, if they are
notified in time and cordially in
vited to attend, all arrangements are
now practically perfected for the
Grand General Reunion and Old
Home Week celebration, to be held
In Honesdalo on Monday, Tuesdny,
Wednesday and Thursday, Septem
ber Oth to Uth, 1909, inclusive. The
details of the festival have been In
thoroughly competent hands, nnd all
from out of town who participate In
the jubilee may be assured, not
only of a heartfelt welcome, but of
every attention calculated to make
their visit one of the most memor
able events of their lives.
The Invitation Committee have
caused several thousand Invitations
to be printed, which, including en
velopes, are to be had free of charge
at the drug stores, hotels, banks,
and other principal business places
