SWIFT COLLEGE TEAM HAD
SKXT FOUR MUX ACROSS THE
PLATE.
Houesdnle lost the first game with
Walton nt Walton on Tuesdny. The
swift college tenm that Is summering
in that part of Sullivan county has
a swift ninn In Adams, who was
steady from the moment he stepped
Into the box, whereas Gregor was a
bit nervous In the first. The col
lege lads hit the Honesdalo south
paw freely In thnt Inning and four
men crossed the plate.
Those four runs gave Walton a
good substantial lead. Honcsdnlc
could not overcome It. Gregor got
over his nervousness after that un
fortunate first Inning nnd from that
time on to the end of the game he
pitched swift, clever ball and had
Walton worried. Only one more
Waltonlan circled the bags after the
first and he made the circuit In the
seventh. Gregor fanned four men.
Adams went him one better.
Doudican, the hard-hitting young
third baseman from Carbondale,
made Honesdale's two tallies. He
came to bat four times and twice the
feet of the Carbondale player scur
rled around the bases. He played
an errorless game, as did Beven out
of Honesdale's nine. Walton, on the
other hand, finished with a figure
four in the error column. They
field fast and well as a rule, but
when it came to this part of the
game they were no stronger Tuesday
than the visitors, who would have
put the college team on the losing
side of the scorecard but for the
raid on Gregor's curves In the first.
The score:

Bayonne, N. J., July 2S. Residents
of Bayonne are today discussing the
strange case of John Hardy, whose
premonition that his death was to re
sult from a cat's bite yesterday came
true.
Hardy, rugged and powerfully built,
looking much younger than his age,
fifty-seven, sat in the kitchen of his
homo at 40 East Twenty-fourth street,
lust Tuesday afternoon. He was, to
all appearances, In his usual vigorous
health.
He was reading n newspaper. Occa
sionally he put a hand to his throat
and opened his mouth widely as If to
take a longer breath. Presently he
put aside the paper and spoke to his
sou. Cornelius, who was in tho adjoin,
lug room.
"Neil," he said quietly, "I wish you
would telephone to Frank Dempsey
and ask him to run over nnd see me
right away."
"What do you want with Dempsey,
father?" young Hardy nsked.
"Never mind. Do ns I toll you. It's
Important," said the elder man;
Young Hnrdy, who knew that his
father nnd Dempsey, the undertaker,
were old friends, thought little of tho
request. He repeated to the under
taker over tho phone what Mr. Hardy
hud told him.
Dempsey came Immediately. He
groined Hardy, like himself an Irish
man, with n joke ou the hot weather,
a laugh and a handshake.
"What's doing, Jim?" said Dempsey.
Hardy sat down nnd wild ns coolly
ns If he had been discussing nnother
man's affairs:
"I'm going to die tomorrow, Frank.
I wnnt you to make all arrangements
for my funeral and the burial. Just
see to it that I get a good collln nnd
that everything is done right."
The undertaker loaned back and
laughed.
"You were always a great one for
jokes, Jim," said Dompsey, "but I
can't sec much point to this one.
What's tho matter with you?"
"It Isn't n Joke," said Hardy.
At 0 o'clock that night Hardy was
In agony. He clutched his throat and
was barely able to articulate.
Father Peter Rollly of the Church ot
St. Henry, who administered the last
sacrament, wns told by Hardy's son
that the dying man had boon bitten by
a cat four months ngo.
Hardy had boon playing with an
evil tempered cat which had been a
pot around the Standard OH works
but had bitten several men previously.
The cat caught Hardy's left hand nnd
sank Its teeth in two fingers, nnrdy
killed the unlraal nnd had his fingers
dressed. The wounds gave him little
Inconvenience an' hoaled In a short
time. It was suggested to him that
tho cat might have had rabies nnd that
it would be a sensible tiling if ho wont
to n Pusteur institute for treatment.
But Hnrdy mado little ot the hurt
and went on with his work.
Hardy died of hydrophobia yester
day at tho Bayonno hospital.

(J. O. SMITH IS DEAD.
Prominent Wayne County Mun
Passes Awny at Gouldsboro.
G. G. Smith, the oldest resident
of Gouldsboro, died Sunday morning
at 9 o'clock after a long sickness.
Mr. Smith was born in Palmyra
township, Pike county, Dec. 15,
1832, and was the oldest of a fam
ily of thirteen children. Jan. 14,
1858, he was married to Catherine
Geary at White Haven, by Rev.
Glrard Staples. In November, 1SC2,
they went to GouldBboro to live.
Mr. Smith for a number of years
acted as superintendent for Mr.
Wallace's lumber plant until the lat
ter sold out to the ice company,
since which time he had lived a re
tired life.
Squire Smith served consecutive
trms as justlc of tho peace, having
been appointed in May, 1878. He
was school director ever since the
separation of Lehigh from Dreher
township some twenty years ago aud
served continuously as treasurer of
the board until falling health com
pelled him to give up the office of
school director. He was a member
of Grace Lutheran church, Gouldsboro.
Mr. Smith was an honored and re
spected citizen, and tho news of his
death casts a shadow In many a
home. He Is survived by his wifo
and live children, viz: Morris E., of
Gouldsboro; Howard D., of Scran-,
ton; Alice M. Heller of Factoryvllle;
Leroy G., of Easton, and Rev. Arthur
L of Rlcketts. He had ten grand
children living and two great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were
held from his late restdence, Rev. J.
M. Smeltzer officiating.

The requirements for a profes
sional certificate this year were an
average of 87 per cent, of last
year's provisional certificate, or no
mark below 75 per cent, and at
least 90 per cent. In practice of
teaching; also a school of sufficient
size to test the disciplinary powers
of the teacher.
Some Important points upon which
the efficiency of the teacher is bas
ed are as follows;
1. The teacher's knowledge ot the
lesson to be taught.
2. Methods used.
3. Attention of the pupils In class.
4. The pupil's mastery of the les
son.
5. Industry of the school In gen
eral.
G. The professional spirit of the
teachers.
7. The teacher's control over the
pupils.
8. Neatness of the teacher.
9. Cleanliness of schoolroom.
10. Ventilation.
11. Temperature of schoolroom.
12. Seating of the pupils.
13. Appearance of school property
in general
14. Calling and dismissing of
classes, etc.
In many school rooms, I failed to
find thermometers and window
shades. In some schoolrooms the
thermometer was put in such an out
landish place that the temperature
of the room could not be tested fair
ly. A lack of knowledge of sanitary
conditions is without excuse. Every
school journal has articles on this
subject.

DAVILA PROCLAIMS VICT0EY.
WARREN G. HARDING.
Garfield first announcing that his
name would not be presented to the
convention for governor. This was
followed by Secretary of State Carml
Thompson withdrawing from the race.
Only two names were presented to
the convention, Warren G. Harding
and Judge O. Brltt Brown of Dayton,
Cox's candldnte.
Harding's well known adherenca to
former Senator Foraker when the lat
ter was In the zenith of his career Is
not taken as significant of the return
of Foraker to an Important position In
politics of Ohio.
Harding's nomination Is understood
not to be distasteful to President Taft
He stands ou a platform which Gar
field says Is not displeasing to the
'progressives."
Cox's Hop to the Harding baud wagon
not only gave him the credit of assur
ing Harding's nomination, but it also
prevented a stampede to Longworth,
which was commencing to look pos
sible. In addition he blocked Burton's
chances of capturing the position of
pre-eminent political boss In the state.
Harding's running mates will be:
For lieutenant governor, F. W.

ho had put down the revolution launch

Bonllla last week. The cable mes
sages were sent to Davila's commer

A message of this nature hns been

that tho revolution hns not been
