DEPAKTUItE OK MOTH Kit KDDY. Sits. Mary linker Glover Eddy passed out of mortal ken, Saturday night, t tho ripe ngo of ninety years. Her depnrturo marks the passing, from the Unite world Into infinity, of one of tlio greatest women tlio world ever knew. Chris tian Science, dominated ns it is hy n principle, and not hy a personality, seems destined to ho one of the greatest religions forces in human history. Mortal mind can not be gin to grasp the possibilities open to a system, which inculcates the the ory of tho power of mind over mnt tcr, the value of cheerfulness and the elimination of worry. Mrs. Eddy will forever bo venerated as tho promulgator and elahorator of the great doctrine of tho "Vis mcdicar trlx naturae." Congress convened Monday morn ing. Joseph G. Cannon is Speaker of tho .House of Kepresentativcs which will sing Its "swan-song" March !J, 1011. Tho Congress re cently elected cannot meet until December, 1011, unless summoned to assemble in extraordinary session between March 3, 1011, and De cember of tho sumo year. DKCKKASE IX POPULATION. Wnyno County, wo are sorry to say, is among tho nineteen counties out of a total of sixty-seven in Penn sylvania, that show a falling oil in population. l'or the past thirty years there has been a gradual decrease in the population of imp county, the de cennial figures being: 1880 :t:t,5i:t; 18!H) :S1,010; 1000 :$0,171; 1010 1:0,2:10. .Whether it is due to in adequate railroad facilities, or to the uutiilable nature of so much of Its soil, the inexplicable fact remains that tbcro has been a gradual down ward trend in the number of Inhabi tants. We are all living in hopes however, that when tho main line of tho Krle runs through Honesilalc, and when the Irving Cliir Hotel Is re built, tho Maple City will blossom like a rose, and her population bo quadrupled. In the meantime let us "boost" and not "knock" our native county, and homo city! TUX UK SUKS KDITOK. Ity his suit for libel against the editor of the Slatington Star Governor-elect Tener is teaching tho newspaper men of tho state to be more conservative and decent during political cam paigns. Mr. Tener has let it be known that bo would have taken no no tice of the attacks of Kditor Sell hut for the fact that he indulged in gross abuse and libel the morn ing after election. Xo man would tolerate billingsgate of that char acter so a decision was reached to treat this journalistic lire-eater to a very much needed lesson. In lining this Mr. Tener is really doing a service to the le gitimate newspaper interests of the state. The libelee is a re lied ion upon tho properly con ducted newspapers of any com miinity. Financial Keview. Tho esteemed proprietor of THi: WAVXK IXDKPKXDKXT, DKOTIIKK KKX.IAMIX KKAXKMX 1IAIXKS, in commenting upon this suit, says editorially, "that success fill candidates rarely carry any of their political GKIKVAXCKS beyond election day." And if Mr. Tener only had political "grievances" wo are certain that ho would bo the lirst one to drop any thought of In stituting jioJ -election suits. Hut there Is a vast difference between "grievances" and "slander."' Wo doubt, if in the entire history of the Commonwealth, any candidate has been so vllllfled, or held up to such public scorn, us lias Governor-elect Tener. Is It no longer possible for a man to run for any public ollico, without having tho domains of his family and private life entered, with out being accused of breaking all tho commandments in, tho Decalogue? Wo submit, that if our worthy HKOTHKK HKXJAMIX FKAXKMX HA I NFS hnd been nominated for Mayor of Jlonesdalo and bud been compelled to undergo one one-hundredth part of tho amount of vitu peration and abuse that was heaped upon Mr. Tener, he, too, would have felt rather inclined to punish some of tho malefactors. When somo of tho ministers of tho State, take their texts from, und read their sermons out of tho "yellow Journals," it is high time that both reckless editors und hotheaded clergy bo taught u (military lesson. Tho Honorable David Clarence Giblioney enjoys (?) the unique dis tinction of having been "licked" as a candidate for ofllce more times than j any other politician in Pennsylvania. 1 -Canton Sentinel. liUMHKK. Speaking of tariff revision, about, how hard does Congressman-elect Kipp yeani for a lower rate on lum ber? Those who voted for him in order to get a lower tariff and cheap er cost of living (and to that seems to be generally ascribed tho coun try's change of heart) are liable to wait a long time before the member fnnn tho Fourteenth Pennsylvania District works himself Into a sweat trying to cut down the tariff on lum ber.

While Telephone Lineman Eugene Leo was llxlug a telephono In Brook dale, North Clinton, near Forest City, Monday afternoon, Novouibor 28, he hitched his horso by the side of tho road. Unknown to him three boys from twelve to fifteen years of ago untied tho horse, climbed Into tho buggy, and drove madly down tho road. As soon as Mr. Leo dis covered his loss ho telephoned the news all over the county, and asked peoplo to watch out for tho missing team. Tho boys went to Aldenvllle, thence southward on tho Prompton road. By generous use of tho tele phone, Mr. Leo succeeded In hoad ing them off at E. K. Curtis' farm, Prompton Koad. Tho horso was stopped, tho boys Jumped out of the wagon, and took French leave. L. S. Pnrtridge happened along with his rig and gave chase up and down the road. Two of the boys "took It" across the hills. The third one was captured, and hoodwinked into giv ing tho other two boys away. All three, who are Polish boys living in Forest City, were finally captur ed. Tho parents of the boys wore seen, and a settlement effected. Mr. Lee had his overcoat in the wagon. The boys took It and hid it along side the road behind tho fence, In tending to come and got it later. Partridge made the boys tell where it as and got it. "Joey" Welch, who saw the boys untie tho horse, gavo chase and ran bareheaded down tho road, "to beat all," to catch the boys, two or whom carried rifles, and overtook them, but was unable to effect their cap ture.
