entries nt the county fair's poultry
show. His long suit, he says, will

orpington from Scranton.
Henry Theobald's chic little
trotter, Sylvia Bargie, is entered In
the 2.22 and 2.27 classes at the
AVyomlng county fair in Tunkhan
nock today. The Honesdale mare is
in good working order now, for Leo,
youngest of the four Theobald boys,
has had her on the track every
day since July 15 and he says Sylvia
never went better than she does now.
She will trot at Honesdale and other
northeastern fairs next month and
her owner and trainer expect the
mare to give a good account of her
self. The New Jersey state flsh and
game commission is making a thor
ough examination of the banks of
the Delaware river, In an effort to lo
cate the mill or factory that is empty
ing into the stream an acid that is
causing the death of hundreds of
fish of all kinds. Complaints have
come to the commission from fisher
men all along the river that some
thing was killing fish by wholesale,
and the suspicion was at once creat
ed that the source of the trouble was
one of the numerous manufacturing
plants. Thus far the commission has
found no clew to the source, but the
investigation will be continued, and
when found prosecution will result.
The New York Tribune prints
a well-written letter from Hon. Wil
liam S. Bonnet In which the position
is taken that Maine might have been
saved to tho Republicans had the
fight been made on the tariff ques
tion with n firm stand for protection.
In proof of Ills assertion he cites the
case of Congressman Hinds of
Reed's old district, who followed
this program and won out, running
several thousand ahead of ills ticket.
Mr. Rennet stumped the district nt
Mr. Hinds' request and may fairly
claim to have been a strong contrib
uting factor therein. One of tho
Portland papers credits him with
hnUng made the best tariff speech
heard in that district in years.
Tho cornerstone of a monument
to mark the grave of Edward H.
llarriman was laid at Arden last
week. Tho simple ceromonies were
conducted with such secrecy that not
until Tuesday did neighbors of tho
Harrimans learn that work had be
gun on a monument to tho financier.
Skilled artisans aro .at work on tho
monument which when completed
will bo a massive shaft of plain de
sign. In which will bo carved Mr.
Harrlinan's name, with tho date of
bis birth and doath. The grave is
situated in n grovo of large forest
trees, of which thore aro many on
the mountain side near Arden House,

Tho widow is said to have laid tho
cornerstone in the presence of mem
bers of the inimedlato family.

F. W. Bunnell is having tho old
brewery that has not been used for
12 years torn down by Contractor
AVenver. Tho plan of the owner Is
to erect two tenement houses, six
rooms to tho tenement, but Mr. Bun-j
noli has no specifications yet. He j
says his new building will bo a very
substantial addition architectually to
the main street of Texas No. 2.
Otto G. Weaver, whose uncle,
John H. Weaver, helped him settle
the Indebtedness on his Jewelry
store Tuesday, said today that the
future of the store Is something ho
has not decided yet, though ho
thinks It possible lie may open up
again He thinks, though, that a
purchaser may come for tho stock
the way it stands now, in which case
ho may sell.
The firemen of the borough do
not take to the purchase of the
Hendricks Hook and Ladder equip
ment, now lying idle in Carbondnle,
and seem to prefer something light
er, despite the fact thnt Mayor John
Kuhbach Is enthusiastic .'or the
Hendricks stuff. He says tho fact
that it weighs 7,300 is no argument
against it, for sooner or later, in his
Judgment, the borough must have
modern ilrefightlug tools and horses
of its own. No meeting of Protec
tion No. 3 had been called today,
and tho Mayor Intimated that the
October council meeting may not
tackle the problem.
Attorney Peter H. Iloff, counsel
for the Horbeck-Demer people, said
today he wanted to bo quoted as
saying tho Commonwealth was going
to try tho cases against the seven
glasscutters Klegler, Fisher, Par
ish, Mitchell, Briedensteln, Slater
and Marks, which by continuance
are set for Friday morning at 9 be
fore Justice Robert A. Smith. Mrs.
W. H. Ham, whoso- severe cold kept
her from testifying Tuesday and on
whoso account the continuance was
asked by Mr. Iloff, Is better and can
probably attend this time. Attor
neys Muraford and McCarty say they
are ready. The evidence is likely to
take the whole day. An entire day
was consumed in taking the evi
dence in the Frank Daniels case,
which has not been argued yet, and
tho evidence for and against the
seven is substantially the samo as
that for and against Daniels.
A young married woman living
at the far end of South Main street
appeared at tho homo of Detective
Spencer on Eleventh street before
he was out of bed Wednesday morn
ing and complained about her hus
band, who, she told Mr. Spencer,
had been abusing and threatening
her to tho point of distraction. Tho
officer told her where to get a war
rant and his early caller disappear-
ed, but she did not go for the war
rant. At 10 that night, when Mr.
Spencer was on duty at Second
street nnd Main, tho little girl of tho
family ran up and said her mother
wanted to see him right away. There
was nobody at the house to bo ar
rested when Mr. Spencer got there.
Tho woman simply wanted to say
her husband had cleared out, she
thought permanently, but she wanted
protection in case ho came homo.
She was told Mr. Spencer and Po
liceman Canavan would be some
where within hailing distance
through the night. AVhen tho de
tectivo nnd tho uniformed cop went
off duty tills morning things were
quiet at the house where the woman
and her little girl wero sleeping.
Tho Honesdnlo ballplayers aro
satisfied that John II. Heumann is a
vlctualer who knows how to provide
for Ills friends as well as for his
guests. The chicken supper that 12
men, comprising tho full Iloncsdalo
team, nto nt Hotel Heumann Tues
day night was tho real thing, both
quantity nnd quality. The feast
started at 9 o'clock; It was consider
ably Inter when tho last platter had
boon licked clean nnd tho music and
tho specchmaklng which followed
tho chicken had drawn to an all-too-oarly
wlndup. AVhon tho eating
ended Capt. AVilllam Kupfor, who
talks very well, got up and said tho
hospitality of Mr. Houmann was
fully appreciated by himself nnd
every one of his colleagues, ho felt
sure. Mr. Heumann responded. Ho
snld ho was delighted to ontortnln
tho Honosdalo ballplayers, that 1910
had seen n line team In Honosdalo
and ho hoped 1911 would see an oven
hotter one, and that tho boys could
count on his best wishes and sup
port. Joo Jacobs sang one of his
prlzo songs nnd tho encoro was
hearty. AValtor Hauler's Gorman
rccltntlon was good. R. M. Dorin's
orchostra of Httlo youngsters novor
played better, though two or threo
of its members could not get to tho
occasion In time. Mr. Houmann snld
Wednesday that nt tho oloventh
hour ho nnd Capt. Kupfor bethought
themsolves it would bo a good plan
to havo the Mayor and tho newspa
per men, but It wns too Into for tho
telophono to catch all of them, so
tho plan was abandoned. It will bo
worked in 1911.

Frank J. Varcoo has about fin
ished the excavating for tho main
part of the armory building on Park
street. Four teams have worked all
the time since the Job started, the
weather has been decidedly propi
tious for speedy digging and no time
has been lost. Jacob Walters, of the
Scranton firm of Walters & Blelman,
contractors for the armory, was over
the early part ot the week and ex
pressed himself as suited with the
progress made by Mr. A'arcoe.
F. AV. Schuerholz. William II.
Bader and S. G. Lutes, fishermen,
Journeyed to Adams pond in C. L.
Dunuing's touring car AVednesday
morning at G for the purpose of
staying within the limit of the law
(in regnrd to the amount of fish
captured). They fished and then
fished and dined on Cataugua grapes
and red-cheeked "apples. At 5.30
the trio returned to the Maple City
with one of the finest (fine meaning
small) catches of a variety of fish
ever carried In Mr. Dunniug's E. M.
F. Mr. Dunning estimated that the
catch would fill a good-sized wagon
box. But it was a poor day for
fishing, and the gentlemen merely
took pencil and paper and figured
out what they didn't catch.
Millard F. Dorin addresses the
chair and says he knows there is
such a thing as poker playing in this
calm and professedly moral borough
of Honesdale. Mr. Dorin, while driv
ing with a possible or prospective
farm purchaser down Main street
Wednesday, started to point with his
whip to the Dorin billboard which
for two short week3 had adorned a
lot halfway between Eighth and
Ninth when, to its owner's agony
as well as amazement, It was
discovered the board had been sum-1
niarily wrenched from tho post and 1
toted away. Determined to regain
his property, even if a search war
rant and the services of tho county
detectivo be required, Mr. Dorin
started out in quest of tho missing
board, which ho ultimately rounded
up not a long gunshot from the cor
ner from which tho Dorin property
had been wickedly and with malice
aforethought appropriated. That I

however. He found 90 cents in sil
ver lying beside tho board in the
aforesaid alley, and then ho made
some inquiries from the neighbors.
Ho found that more money than the
90 cents discovered had changed
hands across that board the night be
fore. The hourd was replaced, but
to note the replacement Is not
equivalent to saying it never will be
molested again by the same pavtles.

Stenography.
To a limited extent tho art of
shorthand writing, known as stenog
raphy, was practiced by the ancients.
Tho freedmen of tho poet Ennlus,
Cicero, Soneca nnd other literary men
of Rome, nro known to have resorted
to shorthand. Tho oldest known sys
tem since the Roman days Is that
called the "Ars Scrib.endl," dating
from the year 1412. Dr. Timothy
Brlght'e system, tho first English
work on shorthand, dates from about
15S8. Sinco then tho approaches have
been steady toward Uic greatly Im
proved methods of tho present day.
Hewton and Gravitation.
Sir Isaac never ntteinpted to toll
tho pecple of his day what gravitation
wns. Ills very frank statement was
as follows: "I do not anywhere tako
It upon mo to define the kind or man
ner of any action, tho causes or physi
cal reasons thereof, or attribute forces
In a truo and physical sense to cer
tain centres, when I speak of them
as atti acting, or endued with attrac
tive powers."
Icelandic Wayside Poetry.
Mr. N. P. Fenwick, Jr., notices a
curious custom In Iceland of deposit
ing written verses on a cairn, to be
found by the noxt passerby. He
translates ono so found by himself as
follows: "I am sitting here lnte and
early; hungry and cold 1 linger. Sin
cero friend, will you not warm tho
old ono?" Tho roferenco Is to an old
crono supposed to Inhabit the cairn.
True Education.
That most womanly woman, Han
nah More, onco guve an oxcellont
definition of education. "Education,"
said sho, "is not that which smothers
a woman with accomplishments, but
thnt which tends to consolldato a firm
and rogular character to form a
friend, n companion and n wlfo."
Using Both Eyes.
"In choosing tils men,"- said tho
Sabbath school superintendent, "Old
oon did not select those who lnld asldo
their arms and threw thomsolves
down to drink; ho took thoso who
watched with ono oyo and drank with
tho other."

Attendance Not Keeping Up with
Growth of Population.
Tho statement has JuBt been mado
that a smaller proportion ot children
go to tho public schools now than
wont ton yenrs ago. At tho samo
tlmo tho enrollment of studonta in
colleges hns increased. Tho theory is
that tho high cost of living tnkos tho
poorer children from tho public
schools nnd puts thorn to work. Tho
pinch Is not felt by tho woll to do,
who In Increasing numbors send
their young folks to Institutions of
higher learning.
Tho public school population is
reckoned on persona of tho ages from
5 to 18 years. According to tho
American Educational Review nil di
visions of tho country show a decrcaso
with tho exception of tho Western.
Tho total returns ltidlcnto that
thoro were enrolled In 1907-08 somo
69.32 per cent, of tho school popula
tion, whllo In 1900 72.43 per cent
woro enrolled. The lo3s In Now York

The Greatest Historian.
By common consent tho greatest
of all historians Is Thucydtdos, tho
Greek, contemporary 6f Pcrlclos nnd
author of tho history nf the I'elopon
ncslan AVnr. Ono of tho greatest tri
butes that can be paid to him Is that,
according to the estlmato of n very
nblo critic, wo have a more exact no
count of a long nnd eventful period
by Thucydtdos than we have of -ny
period In n.odern history, eqmliy hnis
nnd oventful, and yet nil this la com
pressed Into a Blngle vcl'rv.n. Vor
concise, vigorous and yet .nNn'P pre
sentation Thucydldes has no-cr !ecn
oqunllcd. Ho Is easily the king of
historians.
German Alcohol Stills.
An nuthorlty on r.l"ohol stills says
thnt thoro aro 20.000 furm stills In
operation on ns many farms in Ger

mits the farmer to produce a certain
amount of grain or potato alcohol, tho
amount depending uron the the and
location ot tho farm and the annual
demand for the product, upon tho
payment of a reduced revenue tax.
Alcohol distilled In excess of tho
quantity allowed Is subject to tho
higher rate of taxation. Denatured
alcohol, however, Is not subject to
