bowed to the prowess of the curves
of one Benjamin Hessllng and were
beaten by Honesdalo on the flats Sat
urday afternoon In the opening game
of the season by a score of 5 to 3.
Hessllng, the veteran twlrler,
pitched a brilliant game, striking
out thirteen men, and keeping the
visitors' hits well scattered. He
was especially effectlvo with men on
the bases. Loughren, Scranton's
Importation from the Archbald team,
pitched a good game, but Mack pull
ed off a couple of mlscues on the
second station that helped the Hones
dalers along with their victory.
Scranton opened the proceedings
by scoring a run in their half of the
first Inning, through the liberality of
Hessllng, who handed out three pas
ses to first.
"Benny" Hessllng was unusually
liberal In giving trips to the first
station, no less than seven being
charged up against him. He stead
led clown however after the first In
ning, and pitched a splendid game.
Honesdale got away in the first
inning, when Home Run Hatler
started operations by a long drive
over right, circling the bases before
the ball could be fielded even. His
hit was most opportune as both
Mangan and Brader had fanned.
Sandercock and Polt followed his
grand-stand play with a hit apiece,
Sandercock scoring.
Sohilllng, the right fielder, was
responsible for three of the runs
scored by the Maple City boys.
"Spit Ball" Loughren pitched a
brilliant game. His "drop" was es
pecially effective. Rocky support
lost the game for him. He had
speed and perfect control. Not a
man got to first on a pass from
him.
Benny was steady at critical points
of the game, mowing down the op
posing players at will.
"Lucky" Thirteen.
Thirteen .was a lucky number for
Honesdale last Saturday "aft'orhqon.
To the tune of the "Red, AVhite and
Blue" the blue stocking boys, thir
teen in number, arrayed in their
new uniforms, and headed by the
Maple City Fife and Drum Corps,
proudly marched down Main street.
The reporter looked twice and count
ed twice and could hardly believe
that Manager Ross would permit
such an ill-omened number of play
ers to traverse Park Row. There
was one saving feature in the pro
cession, however, and that was
young Master Robert Hessllng who
walked down the street with his
father. He wore a uniform too, and
was the mascot of the game, as the
score showed.
The Scranton "Seml"-ProfessIon-als,
("Semi" Is right for only about
halt of their players are profession
als) came in on the 3:15 D. & H.
train. They made a bee line for
Heumann's, where they donned
their uniforms.
The Maple City Fife and Drum
Corps having safely escorted the
home team to the foot of Main street
came back and treated the Saturday
half-holiday crowd to a second par
ade. The double parade was put on
to save time, the Scranton boys In
tending to return on the C p. m.
train.
The temptation was too great,
however, and the miners decided late
in the game, to play It out, hoping
against hope that they might be able
to turn the tables on their oppon
ents. Great Baseball Weather.
There was a large crowd of spec
tators at the grounds to see the
home team win the first game of the
season. The diamond was in good
condition, too. Weather conditions
were of the best. It was a corking
hot day.
Following preliminary practice, the
game was called by Umpire Ballas at
4:02 p. m. There were plenty of
chances for the fans to root, and they
did root some, too. The crowd
fairly went wild when Hatler hit
his terrific home run drive In the
initial inning, losing the ball out In
right field. They are those who say
that the ball landed In the river.
Be that as it may, the grand stand
devotees yelled themselves hoarse as
he circled the bases, tallying the first
run, and putting new life into the
hearts of the rooters of ijhe home
team.
The reporter, by the way, was sur
prised at the Saturday morning pes
simistic comments on the possible
outcome of the game. Everybody
he met was sure our team was go
ing to be 'beaten. He found him
self almost alone in predicting that
the home team would win. He was
delighted, though, to have his fore
cast made at the time of the game
with the Taylor Athletics, that the
nine this year would be a winner,
verified. What he saw of the play
ers in action, Saturday, convinces
him still more that tho 1911 Hones
dale team will go down Into the
history of Wayne county baseball as
one of the best aggregations that
ever upneid the honor of the coun
ty seat on the grassy diamond.
The financial end of the game was
well taken care of by Manager Leon
H
ONESDALE
TEAM
Ross, who told the reporter that the
receipts from the game amounted to
?41.39, of which amount $10.89 was
collected on the ground, the rest
accruing from bleacher and grand
stand admission fees; so that the
team didn't lose any money on the
opening game.
The visiting players had nice dis
positions, and it seemed cruel to
send them back to the Electric City,
defeated. Come again. The score:

Trying to run his auto after the
electric lights had gone out, Friday
night, almost ended fatally to Fred
J. Hartung and his wife, when in
trying to get out of the way of an
approaching auto, the glare of whose
lights blinded him, the car dashed
into a large stone, throwing the oc
cupants to the ground, and badly
wrecking the machine.
Mr. and Mrs. Hartung, who reside
In Paterson, N. J., where Mr. Hart
ung Is manager for Armour and Com

Hartung, 1738 Main street, when the
unfortunate accident occurred. They
had almost reached Honesdale, and
were going along cautiously at the
right side of the road on the out
skirts of East Honesdale, when the
collision took place.
Mrs. Hartung was rendered uncon
scious by the fall, and was badly
shaken up. Her husband escaped
with a few slight bruises.
An automobile owned by Charles

Dr. P. F. Griffin was summoned, and
made his patients as comfortable as
possible.

The following article which Is

OF TRADE OF THE TOWN OF
HALLSTEAD TO INDUCE THE
HERBECK-DEMER CO. TO MOVE
FROM HONESDALE THERE. IT
ALSO SHOWS THAT SOME SEVEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS MUST STILL
BE RAISED AND IT IS THOUGHT
THAT THE BOARD OF TRADE
WILL HAVE LITTLE DIFFICULTY
IN RAISING IT.
IN VIEW OF THE RECENT RE
PORT ADOPTED BY THE HONES
DALE BOARD OF TRADE TO
CREATE A RESERVE FUND FOR
THIS VERY PURPOSE THIS AR
TICLE IS ESPECIALLY APROPOS.
THE FACTS SPEAK FOR THEM
SELVES. NO COMMENT IS
NEEDED. STILL. IF WE ARE
EVER TO WATCH HONESDALE
GROW INTO "GREATER HONES

DONE AND DONE QUICKLY TO
REMEDY THE LOSS SUSTAINED
BY THE TOWN IN THE RECENT
REMOVAL OF THE THREE OR
FOUR FLOURISHING INDUSTRIES
WHICH HAVE GONE TO OTHER
TOWNS WHERE IT WOULD AP
PEAR, THEY ARE BETTER AP
PRECIATED. Ed. Note.
At a special meeting of the direc
tors of the Hallstead and Great
Bend Board of Trade held In Cluno's
Hall Tuesday afternoon the question
of raising more funds needed for
the completion of the factory build
ings for the Herbeck-Demer Co. was
fully discussed.
It appears that at the time the
preliminary plans were drawn It was
thought that the heating and
plumbing could bo put in the plant
lor about $1300 but it was later
found essential to install a larger
boiler and some other necessary ad
ditions so that when the contracts
were offered for bids, the lowest
bids received were about $500 more
than the original estimates. In ad
dition to this . increase, theexpendl-
iuru iur rails, ireigms ana some
other charges were more than had
been figured upon. There is also
a shrinkage of about $100 on the
subscription list. In all it was
found that It will be necessary for
the Board of Trade to raise about
$775 more In order to complete the
contracts.
Committees were appointed and
lists made up of the property own
ers and citizens who had not already
subscribed to tho fund, and a can
vass will be made this week to se
cure the amount necessary.
The buildings are Hearing com
pletion and the factory will be In
operation in a short time. It should
be a matter of pride to the citizens
of Hallstead and Great Bend to
know that tho buildings are pro
nounced by experts as far and away
the best designed and equipped Cut
Glass Factory In the state or any
where In the country.
It ought to be an easy matter to
raise the amount needed to com
plete the buildings and if the citi
zens, who have not yet contributed,
will do their share it will not fall
heavily upon any one.
A subscription list is open at the
First National Bank whore any one
desiring to subscribe before the
committee calls may hand in their
names. Let every one do their part
and close the matter up In a day.

Governor Wilson's absence from
the state house, at Trenton, N. J.,
while swinging around the circle
campaigning for the Democratic nom

of by the state comptroller, and a
warrant for more than $800 has been
made out for Acting Governor Ernest

This Is the first time the salary of

AMONG SPECTATORS. '
"Of which I have been a great
part." Taking these words as his
theme, Rev. Dr. J. W. Balta, deliver
ed an eloquent address Sunday even
ing before the Captain James Ham
Post No. 198, G. A. R., the Ladles'
Circle of the G. A. R., Company E,
Thirteenth Infantry, N. G. P., and
the Maple City Fife and Drum Corps,
and an audience which taxed the
capacity of the main auditorium of
St. Mary Magdalena's R. C. church,
of which he Is the popular rector.
Father Balta had for his subject
"Fifty Years Ago," and spoke in
part as follows:
"To-day again Columbia unbosoms
herself and shows her tender and
sentimental thoughts and adds an
other milestone of tribute and re
spect to those who died for love of
heji
"Fifty years ago to-day, this great
country of ours saw the boys she had
reared arrayed against each other.
The Sons of the North said 'there
shall be no bondage in the South.'
The Sons of the South said 'all the
rights we had before entering the
Union belong to us.' House stood
up against itself. Son fought
against son.
"And the Son In Blue and the
Son in Gray died on the battlefield
for what he thought was the right
conception and meaning of that
great name so dear to our hearts
America.
"I care not now for the justness or
unjustness of this great war, but
for one great fact brought out by
this war, that what God has united
no human force shall ever tear
asunder.
"Fair Columbia in order to show
that her boys died not in vain, set
aside and consecrated a special day,
a day to the sacredness of the unself
ish sacrifices of you veterans.
"This country ordered its children
to ,bow down before. the shrine of
yo imselflsh -tsacrlficf sA'est?" vwe i
forget.' . ' j-"1".
"Tuesday will behold a thinned
out body of tottering old men going
down to the cemetery. Many a
flower will be placed on the grave of
many a Union soldier to show that
this heart of ours is not a dead
quantity.
"As long as we have this old tot
tering man among us, with that
bronzed button in his coat, let us
be kind to him, for he shall soon
pass away, but his memory shall
remain a burning fire of emulation.
"And when they are all gone
away how shall we think of them?
Only in Blue? No, but clothe them
In Blue and Gray. It took courage
on both sides to bring that ques
tion to a point of issue. The South
erner fought for what ho thought
was correct. Though he hail from
Puritan Massachusetts or Sunny
Missouri, let us honor that man.
"Since the war no man is ques
tioned about his religion. Pens in
Catholic hands signed the Declara
tion of Independence. Catholic
hands helped to build up the ship of
State. Catholics went out to war
accompanied by their priests to re
ceive, when their heart-blood burst,
the assurance that they had served
their church and their God well.
"I praise them, I honor them. But
I am happy to say they sacrificed
their human 'blood because their
mother church told them to do it.
"This Memorial Day of ours is
a development of the idea of human
fairness, human honesty, human
equality. Is It not an honor when
we come together irrespective of
color and personal belief that we
all may say 'Thou art my brother,'
'I am your sister?'
"Are we not living in a perfect
time? Some are thinking this Con
stitution of ours will go Into ruin. I
do not believe it can. God cannot
let this county die because it stands
ror equality in religion.

TO-DAY.
The G:45 Erie express thundered Into the hustling metropolis of Hones
dale, Pa., and came to a stop as Erie trains will do whether there's a
station handy or not.
From the rear steps of the parlor car descended a tall man In a light
gray cutaway suit, a straw hat and a hurry. It was easy to see that he was
a New Yorker from the way he handed his brown leather grip to the ho
tel porter, as though It hurt him to give up anything that he once had his
hands on.
Ho hopped across Main street on one foot and arriving in front of the
postofflce, turned three double somersaults with the agility of a trained
athlete. Needless to say, these queer acts had drawn a considerable crowd.
"Hist," said the tall stranger and everybody hlsted.
Quickly drawing a penny stamp from behind his ear, he placed It on
tho tip of his tongue and began sparring with the atmosphere.
"Hey, there Mister, what are you doing," yelled a voice from the crowd,
"licking a stamp?"
"No," replied the tall man, with dignity. "I'm stuck on the green above
the red," and while the crowd hooted in derision he dashed across tho
street Into tho hotel.
"What is the name please?" asked the handsome clerk, pushing the reg
ister not the cash one towards the stranger.
The man did not reply, but took a pen from the stand and wrote his
name in bold letters across the page.
One look was enough for the clerk. He rushed to the door where the
crowd was still blocking the traffic, and announced In an awe-inspired
voice:
"It Is S. I. Splivlns, the greatest "
"Who?" shrieked the crowd.
"The greatest detective in the world," came the answer. "Solid Ivory
Splivlns, the man who solved the Riddle of the Hobble or the Harem

At that moment, Mr. Splivlns himself stepped to the door and surveyed
the crowd with his penetrating eyes. A solemn hush fell with a loud crash
as the famous detective spoke.
"I am here," he said, "to solve one of the most amazing mysteries the
world has ever seen the Strange Disappearance of the Kick Editor. Last

"Address all your communications to S. I. Spllvins, Detective, care of The

So saying, the great detective vanished within, while the crowd slowly
dispersed each one determined to discover the best clue with which to aid

Mrs. Forman's Tree Only
Dne of Kind m County
IT IS THIRTEEN YEARS OLD AND
IS A REGULAR PERFUME
FACTORY IN ITSELF.
"People on the Upper Road will
say, 'What is It that smells so sweet?
It must be Mrs. Forman's tree that
Is opening.' It scents all around.
It's a lovely tree. I think everything
of it."
To a reporter of The Citizen, who
wearily climbed the stone steps lead
ing from the foot of Fifth street up
to Cottage street, (and there are
just fifty-two of them in all), on a
sultry Friday afternoon in May, to
see tho only magnolia tree in Hones
dale, and the sole specimen in Wayne
county, Mrs. Forman's pride In pos
sessing such a lovely exotic plant
appeared perfectly pardonable.
He waited until four o'clock to
make his way to the hill region of
Honjsdale, but even before he reach
ed i7 Cottage street, the homo of
Mrs. Isaac Format!, whose husband,
an honored veteran of the Civil war,
died less than a year ago, tho after
noon br.eezes wafted to his nostrils
the exotic perfume of the blooming
southern rhododendron.
When the newspaperman made his
mission known, Mrs. Forman modest
ly told him all about the magnolia,
only lamenting the fact that the se
vere windstorm of the day before had
done considerable damage to tho
tree.
The flowers, she explained, aro
rather brittle. They are such a
sweet-scented flower when they open,
she said.
When asked 'how old the mag
nolia tree was?' she replied, "that
this is the thirteenth year; but of
course it was such a little bit of a
thing for three years that I kept it
in the house.
"Mr. Forman," she continued,
" got It In Bloomsburg. Ho saw a
magnolia tree In bloom there, the
first one he ever saw, and he asked
If he couldn't have one of the buds,
and ho jumped up and got a bud.
They're red when they're ripe, you
know. And he brought It home and
planted the seed and that's the only
one we ever could raise.
"Yes, I have seeds now, and a
good many want them If they can
only get them, but they're a pretty
hard thing to raise.
"They open after four o'clock. I
see one that's Just opening now.
There aro quite a good many com
ing up to-night to see it. The flow
ers only last about four days after
they are plucked."
Mrs. Forman dropped her work,
and she Is a very busy woman, doing
much plain sewing such as aprons
and tho like of that, to take the re
porter out Into her garden and give
him a closer view of the tree.
"The tree will be beautiful," Mrs.
Forman rambled on, "even this
Fall. Last Fall I had one leaf that
measured twenty-two Inches long
and ten wide. I think it is prettier
than it Is now. People on the up

Their perfect discipline and prompt
ness saved White Mills from a very
