Honcadalo, Pa. , The policy of the THIS UITIZtiN is to print the local news in an interesting manner, to sumarize the news of the world at large, to figld for the right as this paper sees the right, without fear or favor to the end that tt may serve thebest interests of its readers and the welfare of the country. PRESS NOTES wednksdai, aiAiitin 10, ju. Howdy Independent! Howdy Herald! At last, at last, spring has como and winter has went. The bock beer signs are out! "Arnold's In the dark as to girl's whereabouts," headlines the Tribune-Republican. We confess wo do not know just where her whrreabouts are. but wo do wish that some one would turn on the gas. According to a statement prepared by Cornell University, each student Is costing that Institution $13.70 more nan he puts back into the treasury by his tuition. Well, we suppose some of them are worth It. Susan G. Macomber, the nineteen dollar a week cashier, was peeved at the smallness of her sal ary and stole $19,000 to make up for It. Simply another thousand to one shot which didn't pan out although it must bo confessed that she land ed "In the money." Socially women take up wrestling to improve their figures. N. Y. World. We figure such bouts must bo an immense improvement over the todlousness of mere men's exhibitions and we should like to see one. Suppose that the University of Pennsylvania student who was unable to live on $300 a month because of a 10 cent limit game of poker kept his folks well informed of the tremendous dlffl ulty of mastering that branch of the "higher mathematics." We shall not get excited over the Mexican sit uation until the new popular (?) patriotic songs begin to appear. Had we the time we should desire nothing better than to off a ditty entitled "I Likes Your Hot Tamales but I Loves lly Pork an' Beans." There are Ave men In Westminister, Mass., whoso ages total 44G years. Not one is less than $7, all are in excellent health, active in business and intensely interested in town affairs. How do they do It? Perhaps the answer may bo found in the fact that all live are widowers. Wo note that William Jennings Bryan said In an address at Princeton University, Sunday af ternoon that he had begun "to think out prob lems of government when he was but twenty years of age." But notwithstanding all these years of constant practice Mr. Bryan has not yet been able to convince the majority that ho can solve those same problems. A dispatch from Ohio to the Bristol Dally Cour ier states that a woman did not speak to her hus band for seven years, and now she Is suing for. a divorce. Wo venture the assertion that such women are rare and that she will not lack for proposals of marriage the event of her sceurlng her divorce. It is to bo hoped, however, that she does not try to mako up for those seven years In ease she remarries. THE INJURED FIREMAN. We note that a hill has been presented to the Legislature providing that boroughs and townships may compensate firemen for injuries received at fires. We hope this bill goes through. As far as wo can see It Is a good bill and one that has long been needed. In a county which has a volunteer fire ser Tice, there ought to bo some method of providing for those who are incapacitated through fighting fires. . Volunteers risk life and limb in the fire depart ment service and THEY ARB NOT PAID for the risks they take. Sometimes they lose that life or are seriously injured. At present there is . NO way of taking care (financially) of their families If they die or themselves if they live but render ad unfit for active work through Injuries received in tho service of the country. This condition of affairs should not exist. As wo understand It tho bill of Representative Jack son will remedy tho oxlstlng conditions and for that reason wo hope the Legislature will see fit to pass it. THE NEW MAN. With this issue of THE CITIZEN, the paper presents, for the approval of the public, a new man in full charge of Its affairs. THE CITIZEN finds nothing extraordinary about this man except that he is young, toes In, wears Classes, and, at present, has but two ambitions in life. One of these, ho told us confidentially, con terns a little girl he left behind In New York. The other, In which wo are frank to state wo have a more vital interest, is to make THE CITI J5EN tho best paper In Wayne county. That is all the information he has disclosed to us thus far just those two Ideas. Alone and unaided, he says ho can vouch for tho success of the first, and we wish him all the luck in tho world. As to tho second, tho new man frankly asks the co-operation of the county and we hope and trust that he gets it. Not being infallible, tho new man will mako mistakes, many of them; first, because he is a now man and second, because, being young, all his mistakes He before him, whereas, we, being some sixty-five years old, have left most of our mistakes behind us. We like to think so at any rate. Of course we cannot hope that the new man will please everybody. He assures us, however, that any and all suggestions from those whose views differ somewhat from his own, will receive a careful and courteous consideration, even though such suggestions may not be adopted. And as for those whom he has tho good fortpne to please, why, everybody likes a little pat on the back once In a while, and even an editor Is part ly human, let hlra know just what has pleased you and why. THE CITIZEN knows that it will bo fully appreciated. For the rest, we have found out that tho new man likes Honesdalo and we hopo that Honosdale will like him. Abe Ruef, tho convicted Califor nia grafter, allows as how his spirit will rise above his present situation. Another convert to Christian Science. PEOPLE'S FORUM I Grandfather knows good whiskey Adv. In tho Hawley Times. Grandpop has nothing on us, letlt bo stated, casually In a manner of speaking. 'Bout women s fashions we don't care But we should tell Our girl just What Wo thought of her, If sho should wear That awful skirt tho "jupo culotto." "Wilson shakes the glad hand of W. J. Bryan," runs a headline In tho Philadelphia Inquirer, Tho In quirer should avoid tautology. Whoever ehard of tho "Common er's" digits being anything else but glad? Editor Tho Citizen: I seo in your paper of the 8th Inst, that Pennsylvania will pension all her soldiers who enlisted In tho Civil war. With many others, who inllsted at Hawley and Honesdale under Gov. Curtin's "emergency call," I was mustered In at Scranton, September, 18G2. R. F. Lord, Jr., was our Col onel and L. B. Tibet our Captain. Not being now a citizen of Penn sylvania, will I be debarred from receiving the proposed pension? My ago will be 72 In June. Yours truly, E. B. PELLETT. EDITOR'S CORNER Nellie, tho beautiful waitress at our hotel, slipped us two mufllns for breakfast today. Guess we're pret ty strong wit lithe ladles, eh hat? Ed. Pennimnn, our revered pre decessor, Mondayed a short time in our ofilce. Ed. has some Ideas about running a paper which wo are anxi ous to hear. Call again, Eddie. HAPPEN GS An usher In the Eastern Peniten tiary, which is our idea of nothing to bo, returns home to find his re latives greatly exercised by a report that he Is dead. It finally develops that he had been spending a day in tho suburbs with his wife. A pret ty pass things have como to when man can't go off on a nttio trip with his better half, without false reports arising that his half has gotten the better of him. Two young colts dashed from a barnyard and ran bcsldo the train which was moving about forty miles an hour. Both colts were killed. Altoona Mirror. That's too bad. Think of the tremendous speed they might have developed when full grown If they could do forty per as mere oolts. It's just another chance lost to slip one over on the bookies at Jacksonville or Juarez. Mother works for son, pays su burbanites money Involved in worth less checks. Philadelphia Inquirer, That's just the way with most moth ers. They 11 slave away for some no'erdowell, and keep him out of prison by wearing their hands to the bone, and then give him a nice new fountain pen to write more checks with. Bless 'em! They wouldn't be mothers If they dldn t Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Worden, of East Main street, have returned home from a seven weeks' trip to New York, Brooklyn, Hoboken, Yonkers Newark, Paterson, Middletown and Westtown. The Port Jervls Union An excellent example in our opinion of a descending climax. If we had to spend one week of our seven weeks vacation In each of those eight towns we should cut out Hoboken. Which one would you cut out? .1. Pulvlus wallops gentle spring with "Donnor und Blltzen." The oldest resident scratched their heads and wondered if tho 1888 blizzard was to repeat itself. Scranton Truth. At the present scratching of our head wo wonder If a blizzard Is generally accompanied by thunder and lightning (the German transla tion is gratis) and if the copy reader was pulverized when he wrote It Pulvlus. ABANDONMENT OF KEYSTONE PARTY IS PROPHESIED. "Farmer Creasy" Called Off Meet ing Democrats Swinging I". A news dispatch from Bloomsburg has tho following to say which will bo of Interest to the people of this county: "A significant move in State politics was made when the meet ing for the complete organization of tho Keystone party In Columbia county, scheduled for Saturday was called off indefinitely. "This Is interpreted by somo to mean a change of program by the Keystone party in the State, follow ing the victory at Harrlsburg for re form in tho State Democracy. " 'Farmer' Creasy, the backbone of the Keystone party In Columbia county and one of the leaders in the State movement, called off Satur day's meeting and It is announced that with tho promise of reform in tho State Democracy the purposes of the Keystone party are accomplished In tho ranks of the old party. "Should there be a complete sur render on tho part of tho Guffey fac tion it is said the Keystone organi zation will bo abandoned in tho county with the prophecy that similar course will be adopted throughout the State." Working Song. There is a lot of joy in living, If you strike the proper gait; If you always come up smiling In the faco of every fate. If you're keeping step and whistling Some lively little tune, You'll be living gay and happy As a sunny day in June. There is lots of joy In living If you live life aright; Lots of sunshine and of roses, Keep your eyes turned to the light; Look behind tho clouds of trouble, There's a silver lining there; And you'll find It if you're only Living life upon the square. Scatter good cheer like tho thistle Scatter seed before tho wind, And the petty woes and troubles Quickly will be left behind. Be a "booster" every minute, Help along your fellow man, And you'll surely be rewarded Just keep doing all you can. Selected. HAWLEY (Continued from Pago One.) days. Wo attended school at Way- mart together thirty years ago, this being the late Prof. Dooley'B second term of teaching at that place. Many references were made to those event ful days. Mr. Simons came east on account of tho Illness of his brother who is In a critical condition in Wllkes-Barre. E. A. Treux cut off the tip of his finger while using a razor which will bar him from duty for some time. March is here and many were awa kened on Sunday morning by the roar of thunder, the first of the sea son, from a shower that was passing over. A decided mellowness Is in the air and the voice of the blue bird is heard In the land. Don't forget the box social in the M. E. Sunday school rooms, Wednes day night. In connection with this there will be a country store conauct ed by Ray Wall and his class of boys and the small sum of five cents will purchase any article in stock. Como young men and ye men of advanced ago and test the culinary art of Haw ley s fair sex before cnoosing your life's companion. There will be boxes prepared by maids, matrons and widows at ages ranging between 7, 17 and 70. Tho boxes will be sold at auction. Friend Tuttle will be tho auctioneer. Our milliners, C. E. Langan and E. C. Warthling, each have an at tractive display of early spring mu linerv. Mrs. Alice Degrote accompanied her daughter, Mrs. Elsie Groner, to Carbondale, Monday morning, return ing Wednesday. Nancy, little daughter of Mr. and has been under the care oi Dr. u. i Mrs. Artemus Simons, Penn Avenue, Rodman, the past ten days. She Is a sufferer from asthma and was threat ened with pneumonia. Gustave Buck, Scranton, was a guest of his parents here on Sunday. Mary Wheeler passed Sunday with her grandparents, Albert Wheele, and wife, at Wllsonvllle. Sunday was , the twenty-third an niversary of the great blizzard of 88. ; Tho Hawley High school basket ball teams, both boys and girls, met the corresponding "Tech" teams at Scranton Saturday afternoon, March 11. Both games wero played In the city hall. The "Tech" five walked away from the local five, but our boys played a great game neverthe less. "Tech" is considered one of tho best teams in tho valley. It was not so much the opposing team, as the floor, which Is some three times as large as the local one, that defeated our boys. As It was they went down fighting to tho last, with the score 45 to 18. Hawley recently defeated "Tech" 42 to 10 on the local floor. The girls' team fought one of tho hardest battles ever witnessed on the basket ball floor. At the end of the regular game the score was a tie, 3 to 3. The coaches decided to con tinue the game five minutes longer which resulted In "Tech" mnking a basket on a foul. This switched the score around to 4 to 3 In favor of "Tech." The local girls played the fastest game In their basketball an nals. After the games "Tech" showed that they even excelled their playing ability as entertainers and in the supper and dance which followed everybody had a fine time. Brother Callaway of tho Herald spent first day of -the week for a short time with us. Cal and we uns are going to be great friends. Al ways glad to seo you, Cal, old top. Dropped In to seo our legal ad visor yesterday. He's being taken caro of by Miss Ward and grab It from us she s some caretaker. As soon as wo get time we're going to be sick ourselves. Charley Dorflinger whom we used to know as Hunrgy at college show ed us around a bit Sunday. Hungry used to bo our football manager and ho was a good one too, except that he never passed us to a single game. L. J. Dorflinger climbed tho Mat- terhorn to our sanctum Monday. Seeing we had a bully dinner at L. J.'s on Sunday we were mighty nice to him, because as we learned at school there are fifty two Sundays In tho year. Ran into Jimmy Mumford at the Exchange club Sunday. Used to go to college with Jim and wo know he's all right. Drop In and see us, Jim. We have forgiven those beatings we received when you were a sopho more and wo were a fresh. We expect to have a lot of fun, tucked away off in this corner, al most as much fun as we are getting out of growing a moustache. But If tho circulation doesnt grow any faster than tho thirtyrseven hairs on each side of our upper lip, we shall begin to lose hope. Sal Searle, C. P. Searle the let ters stand for comical person is our trusted and trusty legal adviser. Sal's business is to us out of libel suits Most libel suits fit like the paper on tho wall in our office so we hope Sal Is a good tailor. Sal would have hop skipped up the stairs to see us only tho poor chap Is sick. Get well soon, Sal, you C. P. is practically a half century since tho Civil War. That Titanic strug gle decided, in the negative, the right of a State or and group of States to withdrawn from the Union. Tho doctrine of tho right of seces sion was shot and riddled to death, and since Appamattox there has been no threat or suggestion of a dissolu tion of the Union by any State or any cabel or any coterie of Individuals. The stability of the Government was sorely tested and never in all human probability will it again be subjected to so votal and supreme a trial. It owes Its life to the patriot ism and prowess of the Union vet eran. He turned his back on home an dloved ones and on all the bright possibilities of the future to accept from tho Government tho hard lot, scanty clothing, course rations and meagre pay of a soldier in the field. More, he incurred Indescribable dan gers, suffered untold hardships and sustained physical Injuries. Yes, no one will suffer an objection to increasing the pensions of tho cor poral's guard, so to speak, of the remnant of the silver-haired veter ans who fought and bled that this nation should not be torn asunder. Exchange. Soldier Veterans Deserving. There Is no pension, that the Gov ernment gives, which will adequate ly compensate tho old soldiers who endured, with fortitude, the hard ships of the battlefield; and the forced marches and the privations of camp life. The proposed pen sion increase for the veterans should bo made as liberal as possible and there is reason or believing that tho final legislation In this respect will be found very satisfactory. It Memorial Fund. One of the lato Father Dassel's personal friends and admirers, who does not wish to have his name dis closed, has given to M. J. Hanlan, Chairman of tho Father Dassel Mon ument Committee, the sum of fifty dollars as his contribution toward the fund. This makes more than three hundred dollars which has al ready been contributed and in order to raise the balanco a picnic will be held on Memorial Day. Fred Gregory, our printer's devil, is a future Andy Carnegie, we think. First crack out of the box Tuesday morning he asked us for a raise. Wo were sorry we had to turn him down temporarily but he's got the right idea. Never can get anything unless you ask for it rest of the staff please don't copy. AVOMEN MORE VAIN THAN VAINEST MAN, Aryun Society Settles n, Question of Long Standing Other Features of a Bright Programme. "Resolved, That women are moro vain of their personal appearance than men." This was the question which agitated the Aryan Society of tho West Chester State Normal school during its period of debate on Sat urday evening. Both sides were much in earnest and both produced telling arguments which proved amusing as well as convincing. Samuel K. Faust and Paul S. Blngaman insisted that feminine vanity surpasses that of the masculine order. They gave per sonal experience to prove that young man must frequently wait an hour or more in the parlor while the girl upon whom he Is calling com pletes her toilet. They Instanced the Immense hat, the extreme fashion In skirts tho elaborate hair dressing jewelry, etc. Miss Helen M. Morrison and Miss Ruth Hallraan in their spirited reply wondered whether the young men ever realized that the girls are not always eager to see them. That they sometimes purposely lengthen the time of making the toilet in order that the period during which the caller must be entertained may be shorter. In addition to this they reminded the young men how neces sary they feel It to be that socks and neckties shall match and how precise tho cut and fit of the shirt must be. Some other amusing instances were told to prove man's greater vanity. The Judges, Miss Adeline Larzelere, Miss Ethel George and Jacob Rhoades, decided that the young men had produced tho better arguments and that Instances of women's vanity outnumbered those of men's. The sentiment of the house, how ever, was with the maidens and the voto which accorded greater vanity to men was qverwhelming. DR. E. F.

I r r TEACHERS' SALARIES. In voting to Increase tho salaries of paBtors In Central Pennsylvania $100 a year and fixing as the minimum salary $700 a year with house rent, tho United Evangelical Conference at York established a precedent which should be followed by all de nominations. Tho pay of clergymen, and especi ally of those who work In smaller towns or rural localities tho very points where the strongest and ablest men are most needed has long beem a reproach to the Church at large. Every now and then wo are called upon to chronicle stories of ministers who have been forced to resign or t take up some secular employment as n side issue in order to support them selves and their families. This Is a condition of affairs which should never be allowed to exist. Churches that cannot support pastors respect ably are not entitled to pastors. Preachers who aro worth listening te at all are worth a living wage. The minimum established by th York Conference is little enough, and It is to be hoped that the United Evangelical churches will be too con scientious to avail themselves of it. Harrlsburg Telegraph. o There Is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prcicribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to euro with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It Is taken internally In doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and muc ous surfaces of tho system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address: F. J. CHENEY & CO.
