BELONGED TO JOHN R. BO WEN
OF ALDENVILLE, WHO IjEFT
IT UNTIED.
Persons who were sitting on their
porches on North Main street Satur
day night were startled to hear the
cllckety-cllck of horses' hoofs
drumming along the road, when a
horse belonging to John R. Bowen,
of Aldenvllle, dashed merrily by as
If he were In a hurry to get some
where. Some thought at first that it
might be Paul Revere come back
to life until It was seen that the
horse was riderless. Others said
that the animal had probably slipped
out of his barn and giving a gentle
horse laugh had started off on a
spree all by his lonesome. Neither
of these views proved correct,
however, for it seems that John
R. Bowen, of Aldenvllle, had met
with an accident Saturday evening
in which his wagon was demolished,
air. Bowen had stepped into Clark
& Bullock's store to do some trad
ing and left his horse standing un
tied. The horse started and in do
ing so the Bowen wagon locked
wheels with the delivery wagon of
Mr. Bullock overturning the latter.
This frightened the Bowen horse and
It ran down 'High and turned up
East street, colliding with a tree In
front of John Allenbacher's home.
The horse got free from the wagon
and continued up the street. It
was caught near Bethany and
brought back to Honesdale. When
the Bowen wagon struck the Bul
lock delivery wagon one rim of a
wheel became loosened and fell on
the ground, while the rim of a sec
ond wheel was thrown over the tie
post in front of 'Mr Allenbacher's.
There were. several p. pkages In the
wagon but Ibey were liot Jarred out
or broken "by the Impact. There
probably would have been another
runaway had Mr. Bullock's horse
not been tied. Two spokes were
broken In a wheel on the delivery
wagon. No other damage was done
and fortunately there were no other
teams or children In the street at
the time.

LARGE ATTENDANCE FROM
HONESDALE AT MEETING OF
WAYNE COUNTY POUL
TRY ASSOCIATION.
At a regular meeting of the
Wayne County Poultry Association
held Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock
at the R. F. Martin Poultry farm,
Hawley, a committee, consisting of
Messrs. B. F. Lord, F. W. Schuerholz
and W. H. Karslake, was appointed
to confer with the managers of the
Wayne County Fair association with
reference to making suitable ar
rangements for housing poultry at
the coming Fair.
About twenty-five ardent and en
thusiastic chicken fanciers were in
attendance.
W. H. Karslake was appointed
Superintendent of Poultry at the
Wayne County Fair. Charles L.
Dunning, Honesdale, was elected a
member of the society, and all out
standing bills were ordered paid.
In the absence of President E. j
E. Kinsman, Honesdale, First Vice
president B. F. Lord, Honesdale, act
ed as chairman.
Honesdale sent a large delegation
to the gathering. Among those
present from the Maple City were:
Hon. A. T. Searle, B. F. Lord, Frank
W. Schuerholz, E. A. Lindsay, F. W.
Stephens, Beech Grove, R. G. Erk,
C. M. Erk, H. A. Robinson, Charles
Hermann, W. J. Rief, A. M. Lelne,
R. F. Martin, E. A. Penniman, C. L.
Dunning.
Mr. Martin escorted the Citizen
man through his 100-acre farm, ex-
plaining the" points of interest, chief i
of which were 800 old and 1800
young White Leghorns, for be It
known that -Mr. Martin goes in for
wime .egnorns a'.ugewier.
He told the re'Jrter that all he
went In for was eggs. "We raise
all the pullets," he said, "and ship
the cockerels to New York when they
are ten weeks old. I ship all my
eggs to New York. I get 28 cents
a dozen now. Last winter I got 60
cents a dozen."
Most of the large farm Is pasture
land, with the exception of about
twenty acres whloh is left for hay.
We haven t had a good year for
hatching," he Informed the reporter.
"Eggs haven't hatched as well as
other years. They died in the shell.
They didn't develop. We were able
to raise all wo hatched, though."
Mr. Martin makes a business of
raising White Leghorns. He mixes
his own feeds. This is his "dry
mash combination":
"I use two parts corn meal, two
parts middlings, two parts bran,
one part oil meal, one part alfalfa,
one part meat scraps.
"I'll add the gluten when It .be
gins to get cool. You know you
can give too much corn in hot weath
er." When asked whether he would ex
hibit any of his fowls at the Fair
In August, he laughingly replied:
"Well I don't know. I said I
wouldn't exhibit this year. I took
everything for two years. I think
that's enough. I'll give the other
fellows a chance. I am going after
garden truck prizes."
-Mr. Martin has a largo plum or
chard consisting of about 200 scale
proof plum trees. The yield prim
ises to be a heavy one,
For five years, iMr. Martin, who
used to live In Honesdale, has been
In the chicken business. These are
his reasons for going Into it:
"I wanted to get out In the open
air. I was sick and tired of being
in an office."
"I like It very much," he said. "I
wouldn't change places with John
D. Rockefeller!
"If you go Into the chicken busi
ness," he told the reporter, who once
took a 'flyer' in White Rocks him
self, "you have to like the business.
You have to be on hand every hour
that it's light. I don't get through
till 9 o'clock. I have to close the
colony houses, and see every chicken
Is In. If you don't, a hawk will
come along and gobble them up. I
don't get up on the hills till 6 o'clock
In the morning."
iMr. 'Martin showed the reporter
his young chicks, t'l keep the
youngest In colony houses, scattered
In the underbrush. About sixty In
a house Is the average.
, "In the morning I feed a mixed
grain, consisting of one part cracked
corn, one part oats, two parts wheat.
I have the 'mash' in hoppers before
abouft
them ail the time. I feed
twice as much in the evening as in
the morning, sending them to bed
with a full crop. I use rye straw in
the laying houses. It doe'-" crum

The reporter left Hawley with a
number of touching souvenirs of his
visit In the shape of mosquito bites.

And
Walks Towards D. & H.iDn Franklin Says "It's a
Train in Middle of j 'Monument of Early
Track , ! Pride"
ENGINEER ARNOLD STOPS JUST
IN TIME; NOT KNOWN WHO
SHE WAS.
Taking her life In her hands, an
unidentified woman attempted to
cross the Delaware & Hudson rail
road bridge Thursday evening in
front of the approaching 7:30 pas
senger train. Peering from his cab
window, Engineer Jael Arnold saw
the woman slowly walking In the
center of the track on the bridge
towards the engine. He had sound
ed the whistle for Honesdale and
was about to blow for the crossing,
and as he did so he continued the
toots. The woman apparently un
conscious of the approaching train,
did not look up, stop or step to one
side of the bridge, but slowly, step
by step, picked her course on the
ties. 'Mr. Arnold then applied the
emergency brakes and while the
train was coming nearer and nearer
the lady stopped or seemed to realize
the dangerous position she was In
The passenger train was brought
to a standstill within three ties'
width, otherwise the cowcatcher of
the engine would have struck the
woman and she would have been
tossed Into the Lackawaxen river or
ground beneath the wheels of the
engine. When the train stopped
the woman, not being able to pro
ceed any farther in a straight line,
stepped around the engine, which
was about one-third on the west end
of the bridge. Slowly, and acting
strangely as if meditating, the might
have-been suicide passed over the
remaining section of the bridge to
terra firma and disappeared from
sight.
No one knew her, where she came
from or whither she went. She was
about 25 years of age, of slight
stature and wore a dark brown skirt
and white shirtwaist. Her head was
uncovered.
Eye witnesses claim that the
woman did not attempt to, .cross the
bridge until the train had rounde'd
the curve a few hundred' feet above;
that she walked very slowly and
from appearances it looked like a
case of suicide. Our informant
claimed that he turned his head and
entered a building, that It was too
much for him while another stated
that he waited to see if the engine
struck her.

RIRDSALL BROS., SEELYVILLE,
VISITED BY AMATEURS WHO
LEAVE SAFE UNTOUCHED.
The large woolen mills of Bird-
sail Bros., Seelyvllle, were burglar
ized last Thursday night. Entrance
was gained by breaking a pane of
glass In the office window and then
unlocking the fastener of the win
dow. The office was found In a
turmoil when the clerks entered
Friday morning, Papers were scat
tered right and left and the broken
window pane told the tale. Further
Investigation was made and It was
found that J3.50 was missing from
tho cash drawer. The safe was in
no way disturbed, which leadfe the
firm to believe the burglars to be
amateurs.
Nothing was disturbed or found
to be missing in any other part of
the mill.
Hottest Day of the Year
NO PROSTRATIONS REPORTED,
HOWEVER; MANY SLEPT OUT
IN THE OPEN.
Honesdale sweltered under the
rule of General Humidity Sunday,
along with the rest of the Eastern
cities. It was thevhottest day of the
year. The temperature rose to 97
degrees In the shade at 2 o'clock and
all self-respecting thermometers re
gistered at least 104 degrees.
What made the heat still more
insufferable was the oppressive hu
midity which accompanied It. Re
lief was sought in the parks, and
under the ambrosial shade of back
garden apple trees.
Even the "gasoline buggies" were
put oui oi commission, ana me
motorists who braved Old Sol's rays
were few and far between
No prostrations from the heat were
reported, thanks to the fact that It
was a day or rest.
'Many of the Inhabitants of the
'Maple City slept out of doors Sun
day night, where a cool breeze made
slumber more possible.
The old but somewhat dangerous
trick of reducing the body heat by
holding the wrists under a faucet of
running water was resorted to by
many perspiring Individuals who re
celved temporary comfort thereby.

A real philanthropist Is Doctor
Franklin, who gave expression to
this optimistic view of life to a Cit
izen reporter, who called at the Al
len 'House, Friday morning, to see
this' celebrated Philadelphia special
ist who has devoted half a century
to the alleviation of the aches and
ills of his fellow beings.
Doctor Franklin has been coming
to Honesdale for more than twenty
five years, which Is the highest kind
of a recommendation for any one
engaged In an occupation where
quacks and charlatans live and move
and vagabondize and grow rich at
the . expense of the always gullible
public.
"I sell nothing," said the vener
able disciple of Aesculapius. "I
have nothing for sale. I don't use
any medicine at all. What I use In
my practice, I give away. I draw
no 'blood."
After being shown boxes full of
corns of all shapes and descriptions,
varying in dimensions from the size
of a pin head up to specimens as
large as a half dollar, the reporter
asked the pedal surgeon for his de
finition of a corn.
"A'eorn, he replied, "Is a hyper
trophied condition of the epider
mis, caused by friction or pressure.
A shoe too large or too small, any
thing that will cause friction, will
cause a corn."
"What Is a bunion?" asked the
reporter.
VA bunion," said Doctor Franklin.
"Is an exostosis of the mediostldal
Joint. The mediostldal joints are
the bones of the feet. Bunions are
caCSjJ&d by. enlarging ot JAM) bnhe
caused.ljy wearing a, shoe too short
or too long, or from contracted and
narrow soles.
"Here's a corn producer," remark
ed the Doctor, showing the news
paperman a fashionable shoe taper
ing to a pin head point, and fearful
ly and wonderfully made, and still
more horribly put together. Then
to make the comparison still more
striking, he took up a baby's shoe,
and held the two side by side.
"That's what the mother $;ars," he
said, ''and see, here ,is comfort. A
nice broad shoe without a toe
cap! '
"I made the feet a study. I don't
know anything else," continued the
Doctor, whose whole life has been
wrapped up in alleviating some of
the many aches and pains that mor
tal man Is subject to."
"Did Adam or Eve have corns?
asked the reporter.
I never examined Eve's feet."
laughingly exclaimed Dr. Franklin.
"Tho supposition is she hadn't. Shoes
were not in vogue then. Eve never
had corns orjngrown toe nails. She
wasn't In the Garden of Eden long
enough to produce them."
"I commenced the study of medi
cine in 18.64," explained the doctor.-
I studied at Jefferson Medical Col
lege, and devoted my life to the
surgery of the feet. That Is my oc
cupation.
"Where does a corn end and a
bunion begin?" he was asked.
"A corn," he replied, "has no re
lation to a bunion. No relation
whatever. They are two , separate
diseases. A corn Is caused by fric
tion, or pressing on a bone, by In
terfering with the free action of the
mediostldal Joints. It is Intended by
Nature that the Joints be lubricated.
In wearing too tight a shoe, that
pressure will Injure the perlostum or
outer covering of the bone, and
cause the bone to enlarge.
"A bunion can not be cured. It
Is an Impossibility. I may as well
tell you the truth. If you soften
a bone you ruin the chances of re
storing It to normal condition. You
can relieve bunions. A gloss
starch poultice put on at night will
give relief over night."
"How many instruments do you
use?" ho was asked.
"Nothing but scalpels," he re
plied. "Are wo born with corns, do we
acquire them or are they thrust up
on us?" asked the reporter.
"You acquire them," said the
doctor in reply. "In all the thous
ands of cases I treated I found oi.'-
one case, ana that a little child,
born with a corn. She was born
with one the size of a huckleberry.
I removed It."
"Shoes should be changed often.
You should have two pair always,
and change them frequently," ad
vised Dr. Frapklln.
"What make of shoes do you rec
ommend?" "None. Only a low heel, and a
broad-soled shoe, I practice what
I preach. Bee, here la a shoe I
wear. It Is free from caps, has a
low heel, with a revolving rubber
heel on It. J
"I sell nothing," concluded the
doctor. -"

W. H. Ham Built 63 Boats
in Six Months
FIRST TO USE MACHINERY IN
MAKING ONE-THIRD OF BOATS
ON D. & H. CANAL.
William H. Ham, one of Hones
dale's venerable Justices of the
peace and artists, celebrates the
77th anniversary of his birth on
the Nation's birthday, both occurring
on July 4th. 'Mr. Ham, who is still
well preserved in health, first saw
the peep of day when the nation was
booming forth the triumphs of lib
erty, which occured 57 years pre
vious. Honesdale has been enriched by
the personality of Mr. Ham, whom
everybody likes. He Is dally seen
upon our streets and always has a
smile and a kind word.
Mr. Ham was born on Fourth
street, Honesdale, and is one of the
old native-born citizens. His fath
er was Thomas Ham and his moth
er, Elizabeth Bellamy. Both came
from Cornwall, England, with a
number of other people and were
among the first settlers in Hones
dale. The subject of our sketch was edu
cated in the Honesdale Academy,
afterwards going to Wyoming Sem
inary, where he was drawing master
for some time. Mr. Ham Is a nat
ural artist as his paintings and wa
ter color sketches on display in
Petersen's Jewelry store from time
to time will verify. Being especially
talented In this art Sir. Ham went to
WUUamsport during the winter of
1859-60 to paint photographs. He
remained there a short time and
then returned to Honesdale. Dur
ing 1854 he was clerk to Prothono
tary John Mcintosh, In the court
house. Mr. Ham was also prothono
tary for three years, being elected
to that office In 1S66. He also
served as clerk under Prothonotary
Carr from 1888 to 1890 inclusive.
After serving under Clerk of the
Courts Mcintosh, Mr. Ham worked
for two years In the Delaware &
Hudson Canal company boat yard
at jLeonardsvIUe. For many years
Mr. Ham followed boat building,
having built boats by the mile for
this company. The "boats plyed pn
the Delaware & Hudson Canal from
Honesdale to Rondout, near Kings
ton, carrying freight, lumber and
coal between these two places. Mr.
Ham stated to a Citizen man that
he manufactured one-third of all the
boats used upon this canal and in
six months made a record of turning
out 63 boats for which he received
$1,700 each. "I was the first per
son to put machinery to work in
boat building In the .United States,
and it was for the Delaware & Hud
son Canal company. As soon as the
company realized the advantage of
making boats in this manner and the
time saved In boat building, they
took my plans and built a large
boat yard at Rondout. They bought
the property In 1862."
"When young," Mr. Ham con
tinued, "I took first and second
prize for offhand rifle shooting In
Jones' woods near New York. The
distance was 40 rods. I shot 31
times in succession in a foot ring
and was never more than six in
ches away from the center of tne
circle any time during the 31
shots."
"No, my military record did not
amount to much., it was of a
week's duration. I enlisted as a
high private and went as far as
Washington and then returned."
Mr. Ham has been a justice In
Honesdale since 1894, seventeen
years. He has served twice on the
school board and town council and
was elected chief burgess in a Re
publican town, which bespeaks in
words of highest praise of his pop
ularity. On March 22, 1869, Mr. Ham and
Miss Mary A. Wilbur were married
in Honesdale. They are the par
ents of three children.
Mr. Ham Is also a newspaper
writer of some note, having written
many articles of Interest In the lo
cal press and also for magazines
and periodicals at large.
The Citizen offers congratulations'
to Mr. Ham in the celebration of his
natal day piiS ' jpes he will rnjuy
It and live to enjoy many more like
occasions.
What I use In my practice I give
awar. I use no local anaesthesia. I
folloyf the line of demarcation and
don'txdraw blood."
Common sense seems to be the
secret of Doctor Franklin's success.

FOR WHITE MILLS
Court Orders Re-establishment
of Independent
District
EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT EVERY
ONE FAVORS IT AND THERE
IS NO OPPOSITION.
After a hearing held Saturday af
ternoon at 2 o'clock before Judge A.
T. Searle, In the matter of the re
establlshment of the White Mills
Independent school district, when a
petition signed by 13S taxpayers of
White Mills was presented by C. A.
Garratt, Esq., no opposing petition
being filed, the Court ordered and
directed that an Independent school
district be established with the
same boundaries as heretofore.
Ten days' notice had been given
the directors of Texas township as
required by law, and a hearing or
dered for Saturday afternoon.
This Independent school district
was first erected May 13, 1879, and
the files in the case were offered in
evidence.
Three witnesses were called to
prove the necessity for re-establishing
the district. Their testimony'
follows:
John C. Sonner, White Mills, the
first witness called, testified that he
was a taxpayer and served on the
school board three years. He visit
ed the schools, and knew the class
of work done there. A third grade
High school has been maintained in
White Mills for the past two years.
Three years' work Is taught there.
Mr. Sonner thought It would be a
benefit to the people of White M11I3
to continue as an Independent school
district.
According to his tstimony White
Mills Is a compact village In Texas
township, quite a long distance from
any other High school. A flve
rqpm brjck school building was
erected several years ago at an ori
ginal cost of ?5,000,. half of which
has been paid, leaving an Indebted
ness of ?2500. People are satisfied
with present arrangements, and no
complaints have ever been made.
Joseph Stephens; the, second wit
ness, said that he had been a school
dlr&ctGt- for -four 'years.- '-'I believe
the Independent school district has
been established thirty-two years.
During that time, due to the great
prosperity of the glass business, the
population has Increased. Children
have grown in greater numbers.
The population got so great we had
to build a new building. It is one
of the healthiest places In Wayne
county."
Five teachers are employed, ac
cording to Mr. Stephens' testimony.
They are teaching a three-year third
grade High school and the people
are all well satisfied. 225 scholars
are enrolled. The school district
takes In almost all the voting dis
trict. There have been no troubles
or complaints, and the people are
greatly disturbed to think the Leg
islature has abolished it. White
Mills is four or five miles from
Texas township High school.
Charles S. Burger, White Mills,
the third witness, stated the popu
lation of that town to be 950, and
thought the Independent district
was a benefit to White Mills.
In handing down the decree.
Judge Searle gave these as his rea
sons for granting the petition of the
taxpayers ot White Mills:
" I am very glad to have the op
portunity to re-establish this dis
trict. It Is probably one of the
largest independent school districts
In the 'State. The people In the dis
trict with one accord are In favor
of it. And there Is no opposition to
It either In the district or out of it.
Therefore the necessity Is well es
tablished. " This puts you where you Were
before," he said, addressing the di
rectors present at the hearing.
" No Inconvenience will result
from the abolishing of this district.
You go on just as you were before.
It will be necessary for you to re
organize, and relevy your school
tax and appoint your teachers. In
order to be perfectly safe, call a
meeting at once. You have good
schools, and their reputation has
alwaySjbeen good."
Five pf the original directors
were reappointed in response to a
petition presented by the attorney,
viz, Messrs. John Tuman, John C.
Sonner, Henry G, Schiller, M. J,
Decker, Joseph Stephens, the sixth
member of the old 'board, Michael
Weinberg,," -having very graciously
withdrawn his .name.
