Hawley yards, from whence it took
85 steel dumps over tho Wyoming
Division to Avoca. There it could
not be turned, it was so big, and was
sent to Dunmore and ended about,
and then returned to Avoca. Thence
It was started east, when it was no
ticed that it lapped over so far that
it could not pass engines on the other
track. In order to use this engine
on the Wyoming division orders for
a single-track line were issued, but
this not proving satisfactory, the en

Right Reverend Monslgnor Mc
Andrew of Wilkes-Barre, died sud
denly pn Wednesday morning of
heart trouble. He was born In New
York City' in 1852, moved to Hawley
where he spent his young manhood
Hays, winning the love and esteem
of all who knew him. He was or
dained in 1877 and has labored
earnestly and very successfully In
the regions surrounding Scranton
and .Wilkes-Barre, making for him
self a reputation as a man of God
that is imperishable. He was a man
of deepest and broadest charity.
Race, creed, or nationality made no
difference with him. In his eyes all
mankind was created after the image
of God, and he lived toward his fel
low man accordingly. Although he
possessed great energy, his health had
been virile. He had a weak heart,
and when the ceremony attending
the investiture of his new office took
place, he contracted a cold which
resulted in neuralgia, which attack
ed his heart, resulting in death.
Fire in a Cemetery.
It is something unusual to have
a fire take place in a stone yard or a
cemetery. Last Sunday afternoon
the Middletown (N. Y.) fire depart
ment was called out to subdue a
fierce fire that was burning in St.
Joseph's cemetery, that city. It was
caused by the dry grass and brush
Itaking fire. Two 35-gallon tanks of
chemicals were used to extinguish
the blaze.
MODEL ORCHARDS.
A Model Orchard to bo Established In
Every Community.
The State Department of Agricul
ture announces that it proposes to
establish a model orchard In every
fruit growing community throughout
tho State, similar to the work it has
been doing on the farm of Fred Fas
sett, of Meshoppen township, for
some time. The plan, as announced
by Prof. Surface, State Economic
Zoologist, is to invito applications
from farmers who would be willing
to follow instructions and conduct
their orchards In an up-to-date man
ner. Applications first received will
bo given tho preference. Tho State
promises to guarantee the farmer
from all possible loss resulting from
the carrying out the Ideas of the De
partment as applied to the conduct
of the orchard. It will also pay part
of the cost of spraying, apparatus,
etc. All that Is asked In return Is
that the State be allowod to conduct
demonstrations of a public nature
from time to time, hoping to convince
the fruit growers of the expediency
of adopting the latest and best meth
ods. Boy Kill While Cleaning Rifle.

A NEW AGREEMENT MADE.
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.

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

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."
