STRANGE THINGS THEY DO IN
NEW YOKK!
The latest victim was Harry De
fine, a farmer and commission mer
chant, who resided at Hawloy, about
live or six years ago, and more re
cently lived at Big Pond, according
to tho New York Evening World,
who fell for the old arm game, of
paying money over to sharpers for
the purchase of a saloon which they
hadn't the least claim to.
The World last Thursday told of
the arrest of Thomas Thornton, a
well dressed man of fortyrtwo years,
In New York on the charge of hav
ing swindled Define out of $2,000.
According to the World tho old game
was worked In the same skilled and
clever way.
A dapper stranger appeared in
Hawley the latter part of November
and lost no time in finding a citi
zen who wanted to "spread out."
He picked' Define, who is moderate
ly wealthy as his prey.
Finally came the day when the
stranger could murmur: "You don't
belong in. a place like this., you bo
long In New" York.- 'It's (hollering
for men llko you."
Define fell for tho" bait. '
"I've been thinking the same thing
for some time," he said.
And then came tho confidential
talk. The stranger knew of a sa
loon at Park Place and Greenwich
street, New York, that was for sale
cheap. The man running It had
made so much money that ho didn't
know what to do with it, so ho was
getting out of business.
Define 'spruced up" and went to
New York with the stranger. Define
was shown tho corner saloon. Ho
was Introduced to the man with the
diamond stick pin and diamond
rings, Tho man was- introduced, as
tho owner of tho place. Thornton
is alleged to have been this man.
Thornton offered to sell for $4,000,
the purchaser to also take tho $4,
000 mortgage on the place.
"Dirt cheap. I'll pay $2,uuu on it
now," remarked Define, who felt
liko hitting the celling, he was so
elated over the bargain.
The money was paid over.
"Ill be around to take charge to
morrow," said Define.
"You're on," answered the sup
posed proprietor.
Bright and early the next morn'
lng the Hawley man entered the sa
loon, took off his coat and hat and
hung them up. Then ho began to
give orders. The bartender came
from behind tho bar.
"For the lave of Mike, whre do
you come In to give orders 'round
here? asked the bartender.
"I'm the owner of tho place,"
answered Define
Thinking him crazy or lntoxlcat
od, the bartender hustled him from
tho building and called the police.
"You've been most generous to
two swindlers who don't own a cent
In this saloon," they explained to
Define,
Then the great light dawned upon
the "man from homo" and ho went
to the pollco station with his com
plaint. Thornton was held for
court.
HOBBLE SKIHT MAIDEN

Following the styles and going to

proved serious for a very stylishly

afternoon at Ninth and Main streets
when tho hobblo became entangled
about her knees and she fell.
Two gallant young men who saw

around, then dropped her head and

PLEASANT AND PROFITABLE AF
FAIR CONDUCTED BY Y. 1. S.
OF ST. JOHN'S CHUItCII,
THURSDAY EVENING.
An unnualifled success and a
well-attended affair was tho annual
Bazaar of tho Young People's So
ciety of St. John's Evangelical Lu
theran church neid last mursauy
evening In tho church parlors,
Church street. Tho gross receipts
reached $345, and tho net pronts
will probably amount to more man
300.
The decorations of tho various
booth3 wore especially beautiful, and
called forth many favorable com
ments. Small, colored Incandescent
llchts were used to excellent advan
taco for decorative purposes. Red
nonnles. purple. Dink and white
chrysanthemums Jont a truly holl
dav flavor to tho scene.
To begin nt the beginning, -mere
was first of all a "Bakery liootn,
presided over by Mrs. Henry W.
Rehbein and Mrs. Frank P. Mo
Kanna. Among tho good things
purchaseablo at this stand were
kuchon. lobkuclien. all Kinds oi
fancy cakes, homemade bread and
snrlngorlles.
Mrs. Jotin cole and auss junrgar-
ot Kberhardt had charge of tho
Doll Booth." A doll's house Plan
ned by Mrs. Colo and Miss Eber-
hardt nnd built by Jonn uoio anu
John Cnrnilchnol was a feature of
this booth. Dolls, "all dressed up
lovely," and everything thnt goes
toward dressing a doll, coats and
hats woro nulckly disposed of.
The Fancy Booth in ehargo of
Mrs. Genung, Trnceyvillo, Miss
Christina Seellg, was a mecca for

back ground to a display of fancy
work, rich in dollies, laundry bags

shopping bags, and moro things
than a man could enumerato much
less descrlbo.
Miss Barbara Rooschlau and Mrs

"Vhe only place where uray anu
I differ," resumed Prof. Oday, "Is In
the amount I shook him and In the
language which he said I used, and
which I didn't use."
"This 13 the first timo," said Mr.
Oday In response to a question put
to him by the reporter, "that I ever
had a warrant sworn out against
me. In my work, of course, thero
is continually a little friction coming
up. If I tell a boy to do a thing he
has got to do It. That is my dis
position." ".It is nothing uncommon for us
to straighten out affairs that happen
on tho street," said Prof. Oday.
"Within the present school year,
even, we made the youngsters take
rags and scrub off marks on the
bridge, as well as on the Presbyter
ian church. Usually there'll be a
name there that will give us a clue.
We try to have the youngsters be
have on the streets."
"The Gray boy wasn't locked up in
the basement, he was only seated on
tho bleachers, while I Instructed a
class In gymnastics," said Prof. Oday.
Prof. Oday then read Article
CLXXVI, sections 100-103, of
Pennsylvania School Laws and De
cisions, as follows:
100. Tho Jurisdiction and au
thority of the teacher over the pu
pils are neither limited by the
Fijool house, walls, nor to the
time the school is actually in ses
sion. As a general rule, In all
matters legitimately connected
with the schools and tho manners
and morals of tho scholars, the
teacher's Jurisdiction, conjointly
with that of the parent, commences
when pupils leave the parent's
roof and control to go to school,
and continue until their return
from school. The teacher, how
ever, Is not responsible for the
misconduct of pupils on the way
to nnd from school, though he has
and utility of the articles display
ed. We almost forgot to mention that
thero was a "Fishpond," ably attend
ed to by Miss Amelia M. Fasshauer,
and Miss Stegner, Union Hill. - You
fished for packages done up in the
form of a fish, and you always got
more than your money's worth.
Mrs. W. Hattler had entire charge
of the refreshments. Willing and
competent assistants were Mrs. Ja
cob Corb, Mrs. Judson Keene, Miss
Olga Pohle, Mrs. A. Coles,
Miss Mary Witt, Mrs. John Markey,
Miss Anna Rlppel, Mrs. Frederick
Reitenauer.
Ico cream, coffee, cako and leb'
kuchen disappeared In large qvan
titles, as If magic, under their per
sunslve hands.
Mrs. Christian Bergman was man
ager of tho wholo affair, and Mrs.
Barbara Genung, Traceyvllle, acted
as treasurer.
Tho women of the church worked
almost a year In preparation for tho
event, meeting onco a week In up
town and down-town circles. Their
labor of lovo was not in vain.

B. Mills left Honesdale a week ago,
on a Western trip. Just before

telegram was sent ahead to Balti

made as comfortnble as possible, and
tho Journey continued. A telegram

tho right to punish for such
misconduct, when brought to his
knowledge.
101. Tho teacher is to bestow
equal and Impartial attention on
all children placed under his
charge; to be undeviatlng in ad
herence to a firm, uniform and
moderate system of discipline, and
to pay most especial regard to the
morals, habits and general'behav
lor, as well as mental instruction
of his pupils and their parents or
guardians should be sacredly re
spected, sectarian instruction not
being tho province of the school
teacher, but of the parent or
guardian, and the spiritual teach
er selected by him.
102. The teacher should govern
his school by appeals to tho rea
son nnd better feelings of his pu
pils If possible. But a teacher In
the common schools stands In tho
place of a parent to a pupil, and
may administer correction to mm
under the same restrictions as In
the case of a parent.
- 103. Tho right of a teacher to
Inflict such punishment is founded
upon the necessity of the case and
not upon statute. It is absolutely!
necessary that good order should
be maintained in the schools, and
that all proper rules, regulations
and commands of the teacher,
should be strictly and promptly
obeyed. Hence a necessity exists
for sufficient power to enforce this
duty, and therefore It Is held that
tho teacher may Inflict such rea
sonable punishment upon the pupil
an the parent might Inflict Jor a
similar cause. It becomes the
duty of directors, therefore, to
sustain the teacher In their efforts
to preserve order and maintain
discipline in the school.
"When I saw this Gray boy." said
Prof. Oday, "the llttlo bit of a rascal
had the other boy down In the snow
near the Presbyterian church and tho
latter was crying."
"Tho laws of the State are all in
favor of the teacher, on thoso ques

On account of tho absonco of sev-

made to havo tho chairmen meet

Tho proposed brldgo spanning

Several communications wero read
and tho secretary was Instructed to

vlow to securing them to locato In
Honesdale.
Tho proposition of securing tho
old schedulo of froigjit on the Hones
dalo branch of tho Delaware & Hud

dally, was discussed at length. It
was stated upon good authority,
that tho freight that goes to Car

under tho old schedule, operating
two trains from Honesdale, direct

"I insisted that Gray apologize and

"He certainly wa3 disturbing the
school. No man is going to allow
another man to come into his office
and make a disturbance.
"When the facts of the case are all
known," said Mr. Odny, "people will
know J've been in the right."
"Usually thero aro two things I
punish for: impudence and playing
hookey. We have no truant officer,
and I chase after the boys until I
get tired, and then I think a cood
whipping keeps them in school.
When boys say "I won't do so and
so," I sometimes And whipping is a
good thing for them."
"I should hate very much not to
havo tho right to whip if we have
need. We use a little rubber hose
when wo use anything." Prof. Oday
after vainly ransacking several draw
ers to find It, said "I guess it'
gone."
To the reporter whose acquaint
ance with Prof. Oday was of the
slightest, tho interview came as a
great revelation of the rairness ana
Justness of the man. At Syracuse.
Mr. Oday captained the football team
two seasons, and there learned the
lessons of self-control that have stood
him In such good stead ever slnco.
Of course when a big muscular man,
almost seven foot tall, says some
thing, ho generally says It as though
he expected to bo obeyed, and obedi
ence Is, as a rule, what he gets.
It Is the Impression of the report
er that this little Incident only help
to bring out info still stronger
prominence the fact that Honesdale
has a principal of schools who don't
lose his head even under the most
provoking circumstances. To know
that our boys and girls may be safe
ly entrusted to his care why, it was
well worth while that this little 'dlf
ferenco" cropped out.
Oh yes, Mr. Gray is going to drop
the matter, and the warrant will re
main unserved, and we'll all enjoy
a good night's sleep to-night!

Transportation committee of the ac
