The taxpayers )f Wayne county are anxiously nwiilliiig your answer to Uio clmrno mndo by this paper that you knowingly mid deliberately over- rhnrKcd and collected from the coun ty treasurer nearly 400 per cent, more for printing ballots than you should havo done. This Is a herlous innttcr, Mr. Haines, and one that the Grand Jury inny take Into consldeni tlon. Your notice of this charge in Your ln.st Issue was more like the rnttlo of a stone In a tin enn than mi answer. The beautiful should exist in tho school life of the child. The school building nnd grounds should portray the artistic and beautiful. Those things which adorn the tasty home should embellish the school prop erty the lawn, terraces, walks, trees and flowers. Within should be neat ness and refinement. A neglected school house is a terrible demorali zer. Pjnce a child nt a mutilated desk, put in his hands torn and soil ed books and we find an almost ir resistible temptation to continue the destruction with knife and pencil Place the same child in a neat, clean room with suitable and beautiful furniture and we Immediately re move the temptation for destruction Xo place else on the globe will you find as big-hearted, generous and noble people as reside in Wayne county. They are not much on dress parade. They do not wear silk stock Ings and silk hats but they have hearts' as big and warm as ever put sated in human breasts. Editor Haines went to a great deal of trouble to write the article, "Over tho Seas Pleading for Peace," in order to KNOCK the ARMORY WHICH COMPANY E is trying to obtain from the State, and yet he blows about his great fidelity to Honesdale and her Interests. It has fallen to tho lot of the writer to travel up and down this broad commonwealth to a consider able extent, both in search of busi ness and pleasure, and without an attempt to flatter the good people of this section It can be truthfully said that no town of equal size has yet been found that equals our own little city.

King George Is the second son of the late king and until the death of his brother, the duke of Clarence, was dwarfed by the latter. When he was 14 years old he began a tour of the world. He and the -duke of Clarence were regularly enrolled as cadets in the training ship Britannia and were accorded no special favors. On one occasion, when called to stand watch he struck a cadet who had awakened him, blackening his eye. For this he was court-martialed, found guilty and sentenced to be spanked by the cadet with whom he had the trouble. This was done, first in the Britannia and later mire noxious monster, nor tame it, but chunks hacked out of its body and scales and claws littering up the abode of a community priding itself of a vigilant Ladies' Improvement Society aro a bad enougli result, in deed, nnd worst of all, it turns out, that the milk the beast gave, when properly coaxed, nourished lite un der the. subscription tree, having a beneficial Influence on that delicate, plant, as no gory fertilizer coujd ever produce. The editorial cited at the begin ning of these lines leaves the im pression that the hero-editor wishes to withdraw quietly from the center of the stage, and the limelight, blam ing a "mystery to which there is a secret key" for the debris of the bat tle, stench and all. This attitude is certainly undignified for an editor, especially a portly one. We all ad- ln William Randolph Hearst Bronchial Tubes AH Stuffed Up "While a resident of Washington, D.

The statement In the last Issue o the Independent that somebody had remarked that the editor of that paper "ought to bo driven out of town," Is not only possibly, but probably true, as a large number of the people of Honesdale and vicinity have no doubt expressed themselves time and time again to this same effect. It is said that "his tory repeats Itself." Now that ladles aro so generally employed as stenographers and type writer operators, the columns of newspapers are burdened with coarse attempts at humor, in which tho pretty amanuensis and her alleged flirtations with tho business men are tho inspiring theme. Perhaps these Jokes, on account of their Insipid ity, are harmless and do not deserve the dignity of a remonstrance, but, nevertheless, we entor our protest against any attempt to place In a ridiculous or improper light tho honest and worthy occupation of n woman.

The two princes traveled 45,000 miles. Following the educational tour, Prince George was appointed a lieutenant in the navy. In 1890 he was made commander of a gun boat and in 1892 was made a post captain and given tho title of duke of York. While a lieutenant on the Thunderer In the Mediterranean, Prince George met tho daughter of a naval officer with whom it ls general ly bellovod ho contracted a mar riage. Although solemnized by an ordained clergyman, It was not legal as she was not of royal blood. Little notice was taken of tho episode until after the death of the duke of Clarence. Then by command of Queen Victoria, Prince George aban-i doned his Malta spouse and was. wedded to Mary of Teck, who had been betrothed to his brother. She was born May 2G, 18G7. She ls her husband's cousin, both on her fa ther's and her mother's side. As prince of Wales, the new king plainly showed his decided preference for a country life. Ho liked riding, hunting, fishing and golf. Ho has shown that public speaking and pub lic functions genernlly bored him.

In merely proving that this evil exists, declares the New Orleans Times Democrat, 'Sie investigators "have progressed further in their cam paign for its eradication than they perhaps realize."
