Big Eddy Telephone Company Makes Now Trnfllc Contract With Con solldatcd Telephone Com panies of l'cnn'a. The Big Eddy Telephone Co. which Is organized on the farmers' mutual plan and which operates more than 600 telephones and several ex changes in Wayne county and whose rural lines extend well Into Sullivan county, Now York, has made a new agreement for a period of years for the Interchange of business with the Consolidated Telephone Companies of Pennsylvania, thus renewing an agreement of som6 years' standing which has worked to the entire sat isfaction of both companies. The new arrangement give the sub scribers of the Honesdale exchange district of the Consolidated Telephone Co. favorable rates into the Big Eddy Telephone Co's territory, while tho latter company's subscribers en Joy telephone privileges that they have not had heretofore. The new arrangement is thorefore mutually advantageous and will encourago both companies to do all that Is nec essary to meet successfully the rapid ly growing telephone needs of this community. The following Pennsylvania points can bo reached over the Big Eddy Telephone Co's lines, viz: Abra hamsvllle, Atco, Beach Lake, Boyd's Mills, Bramans, Calkins, Damascus, Equinunk, Fallsdalo, Galilee, Glrd land, Indian Orchard, Kellams, Look out, Milanvllle, Rileyvllle, Rutledge dale, Tyler Hill, Torrey and West Da mascus; the following N. Y. State points can also bo reached, viz: Cal llcoon, Cochecton Center, Hanklns, Lake Huntingdon, Narrowsburg and Tanners Falls, all of which points are located directly on the Big Eddy Company's linos, which furthermore connect with a number of other rural telephone lines In Sullivan county. Thomas S. Boyd, local Superin tendent of the Consolidated Tele phone Co. was until recently tho Manager of tho Big Eddy Telephone Co's lines. The merchants and professional men of Honesdale are naturally In terested in the growth and develop ment of telephone service in the rural districts, for It brings town and county Into 'close business rela tion to the mutual advantage of both. For this reason the Consoli dated Telephone Co's Honesdale, Hawley and White Mills directories contains a list of the Big Eddy Tele phone Co's subscribers. Weighed Over 40,000 Pounds. A bluestone, said to be the largest that was ever sent over the Erie rail road, was shipped last Thursday. It was taken from Maxwell's big quarry at Pond Eddy, Pike county, and was consigned to parties at Newark, N. J. It was shipped on an O. & W. car built especially for such stones, and was placed in an angular position on tile car, balanced on the lower side by heavy stone. The stone was 15x17 feet, 10 in. thick, and weighed 20 tons. It was originally much larger in face surface, was. 17 inches thick and weighed 35 tons. It required five teams two days to haul it from the quarry. It is estimated that, when it is put into place, it will represent an expenditure of several thousand dollars. Maxwell's quarry has the reputa tion of turning out the largest flag stones In this country. A stone, nearly twice the size of the one re ferred to, is now at the quarry. THE CAMERA. Some of the Wonderful Things of Which it is Capable. The camera, which divides time into thousandths of a second and re cords the impressions of each, makes permanent pictures of events which pass too quickly for the dull human retina to recognize. It is only through the camera that the motions of the wings of flying birds and of the legs of swift running animnls have been analyzed. To tho camera tho fuzzy drivers of tho swiftly speeding locomotives stand out clear cut and stationary, whilo each fly ing drop of rain in the driven storm is distinct and seems frozen In its place. Tho tarpon fisherman, fa miliar with the first wild leap of the frenzied fish as it casts hook and bait fifty feet in the nir, sees first in the finished picture the outstretched gills, the convulsive opening and closing of which had escaped his eye, how ever closely he may have looked for it. Often the eye of the camera will decipher documents of which tho writing had been substantially ob literated by age, and I have success fully copied with tho camera the ut terly faded photograph of a classmate of forty years previous and thereby been enabled to present to a grizzled veteran a likeness of his curly hatrod youth. Changes in the pigment of tho skin undlscoverable by the eye appear with distinctness on the sen sitive plate, and it is said that ample warning of approaching disease has been thereby given. By means of the invisible rays ly ing beyond the violet of the spectrum objects may be photographed In the darkness and, with the aid of the so called X-rays, through substances otherwise opaque. When from the darkness of night and storm the forked lightning flashes, tho camera makes a vivid and permanent pict ure of each fiery trail. Creatures that travel by night can be "caught" in the brief blaze of a magnesium charged pistol, the flash of which Is of too short duration for the, creat ure to movo or the dull human eye to recognise the subject. A. W. Dlmock in Van Norden's. A Dangerous Spot. Editor Citizen: I wish you would occasionally re mind the authorities of the very dan gerous condition of the road near the residence of Carl F. Prosch. Young ladies coming from their work that are employed In Clark's, or the decorating factory, are In fear of being run down by team or automo bile. The road is very dark, and only a narrow place to walk. Only a few evenings ago a young lady only saved herself by pressing close to the board fence when an auto came one way and a spirited, horse the other. There may be some serious accident If it is not remedied. Changes in tho Carbondale D. & H, Shops. Despite the fact that Master Mech anic Reed stated when he took that position that there would positively be no changes In the force at the Carbondale shops, the rumor that thero was to be a general cleaning up is coming true. Joseph Drennnn, for many years foreman at the locomotive shops, was let out on Saturday, and it is freely rumored that a number of other heads will fall as soon as competont men are found to take their places. Mr. Drennan is already considering flattering offers from outside the city. He has been in the employ of the Delaware and Hudson company for many years. He was prominently mentioned for master mechanic when M. J. Powers resigned to go with the Denver and Rio Grand railroad. The Horse in Winter. The first cold snap that puts In its appearance the driver of a horse or a team hustles to a clothing store to purchase an overcoat, or searches the closets at homo for last year's coat. Let these drivers remember that the horse they drive is just as sensitive to the cold as they are. When you buy an overcoat for yourself, buy a blanket for the horse and use it every time you stop. No matter if you only stop for five minutes, throw the blanket or lap robe over tno ani mal's back to protect his kidneys. What is more disgusting than to see a horse shivering from the cold for tho want of just a little atten tion! Do not think because the horse is a dumb animal that he does not appreciate It, for he does, and if you will study your horse you will soon see that he shows his apprecia tion in many ways. A good thing to remember Is to take the bridle to the house and warm the bit before placing it In the mouth of your horse. One way to impress this on your mind is, on a cold and frosty morning to stick your tongue out and touch It to the bit on the bridle. The first Impulse will be tp yank away, but if you do the re sult will be that part of your tongue will stay with the bit. Just imagine how the poor horse feels that is com pelled to take a cold bit every morn ing.' Be as kind to your horse as you can, for in this day and age his life is not always a happy one at the best. Sherlock Holmes Wns on the Job Just as Usual. Slitting open his left forearm with a razor, Holmes was about to Inject a bicycle pumpfull of cocaine, ether, water, and local-option dope, when 'the light of battle gleamed in his eyes and caused the cat to think dawn had come. "Some one is com ing upstairs, Watson," he said. "I heard footsteps on the stairs, but You wonder how I know our visitor is coming up instead of going down," interrupted Holmes, reading my thoughts. "It's childishly simple," he continued. "I fixed the second step from the top so that any one treading on it shot down the whole flight. The stranger hasn't fallen yet, and must tnerefore be coming up." At that moment there was a crash. Holmes opened the door and step ped out. "Try again, my dear sir," he called out to the man who lay in a tumbled heap at the bottom of the stairs. This time our visitor was more successful. He entered the room nnd took a seat opposite the window. "Did you have a good game?" asked Holmes. "How did you guess" "Nothing, my dear sir," answered Holmes. "Your mouth has certain lines brought on by saying a vigor ous word beginning with 'd,' and the transfer in your pocket tells me you are a golfer." "Yes, I play golf. My name is McStingo," said our visitor. "I have come to ask you to solve the mystery of the lost golf ball." Holmes brightened up. The old slueth-hound instincts awoke. In a few moments ho had the story from McStingo. Four thousand golf balls had been lost in two weeks. "Are you prepared for a long trip, Watson?" asked Holmes, placing a rovolver in his pocket. "Better take a Scotch glossary," he added. I compromiseu on a flask of it. Reaching tho ground, Holmes drew out a microscope and examined each blade of grass. "A cow has been here lately," ho muttered. "How did you know?" He showed me a cowslip. Inquiries In the neighborhood showed that there was Indeed a cow. She was the picture of health. "That cow," said Holmes, "has swallowed the golf balls. You see that big ad. over there, "Pills for the Pale." She has taken the golf balls for pills, and tho influence of mind over matter has caused her to grow well and give lots of milk." On our return to the hpuse Holmes turned tho case over to Detective Night with the advice to get out a search warrant. MARION SHIRLEY " UNCLE DAVE HOLCOBE." "A better sermon never preached." This is the opinion of the Rev. Theo. Denby of Denver, after seeing Wm. Lawrence in "Uncle Dave Holcomb." "Tho reformation of "Hiram," tho village drunkard, the moral atmos phere of the home and life of "Uncle Dave," the Innocence of his daughter "Grace," and tho increasing faith of father and mothqr, the old hymns and songs my mother used to sing, took me back to my childhood days and I hope and pray that every moth er who has a son or daughter will use her Influence to have that son or daughter see the.plny." The com pany, headed by Mr. William Law rence, is excellent in every respect and are excellent types of tho home ly New England life. Mr. Lawrence hardly needs an Introduction. Ho Is Denman Thompson's legitimate successor, his voice, build and walk are exactly as Mr. Thompson's. Miss Marlon Shirley will be his leading lady and needs but little- introduction in this place, having played "Madge" In "Old Kentucky" and "Kate Brewster" In "Way Down East." She is a winsome, dainty, talented little actress and Is n feature with tho company. Will be seen here on Tuesday, Nov. 23. Special bargain matinee at 3 p. m. All seats, 25c. He Would Take It. An Irishman was sitting in a de pot smoking when a woman came and, sitting down beside him re marked: "Sir, If you were a gentleman you would not Bmoke here." "Mum," he said, "If you waz a lady ye'd sit farther away." Pretty soon the woman burst out again: "If you were my husband I'd give you poison." "Well, mum," returned the Irish man, as he puffed away at his pipe, "if you wuz me wife I'd take It." Kansas City Independent. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County, SS.: Frank J.
