LEOPOLD FUERTH PRESIDES. Hundreds of people attended the Fourth of July picnic given by In dian Orchard Grange at their' hail on the anniversary of the' signing of the Declaration of Independence, when eloquent and forcible addresses' were delivered by Rev. Father J. W. Balta, J. U. D and Chester A. Gar- ratt, Esq., Honesdale. An excellent chicken dinner was provided by the ladles of the. Grange. There were sock races, quoit games, 'hlt-the-nigger-on-the-head" shows. dancing, etc., to make the time pass pleasantly and profitably. The peo ple stood around and talked and had a social time together. Hon. Leopold H. Fuerth presided at both the morning and afternoon exercises. In introducing Attorney Garratt, who spoke In the forenoon, Mr. Fuerth said: "Ladles ad Fellow Grangers: It gives me great pleasure to Introduce at this time the speaker of the oc casion. He Is well known to you and an introduction by me would seem almost unnecessary. I have to say this however, that Mr. Garratt Is a rising young man of personal worth and of marked ability. I have known him for several years. He has consented to speak to you for a short time to-day, and I know he will please and Interest you. I now present to you Chester A. Garratt of the Wayne County Bar." Mr. Gnrratt's Address. Lawyer Garratt spoke in part as follows: "One hundred and thirty-five years ago to-day there happened In this country an event of great Importance not only to America but to the whole world. While It affected this coun try most, the monarchs on the tot tering thrones of Europe watched Its progress and ultimate results with considerable anxiety and fear. "It was a different age and time and generation. As compared with the present we must balance the stage coach against the railroad, au tomobile a-nd flying machine, hand labor against machine work, 3,000, 000 against 93,000,000. We are liv ing In a great age. In the few generations of our existence as a na tion our forefathers built up a mag nificent structure and It Is our heri tage to-day. What made such a great nation possible? "The character and quality of any nation depends upon the character and quality of Its individual citizens. "Students of history will remem ber that most of the people of this country came from Northern Eu ropean countries, and that our an cestors, the Anglo-Saxon people, liv ed for thousands of years In a severe climate and under adverse circum stances. The cold of winter, there was Intense and unrelenting. Only the strongest men of each generation could withstand the tortures of win ter and the furiousness of continual warfare. Each man was a warrior. Disputes of all kinds such as are now settled In our courts were set tled by combat. The weakest had to succumb. Only the strongest could survive and these transmitted increasing strength to each succeed ing generation. Mr. Garratt then spoke of several wars and uprisings of Northern Eu rope and of England and of this country which were mere expressions of the public mind and characteristic of the race. Patrick Henry of Virginia was quoted: "I know not what course others may take but as for me give me liberty or give me death." "The war of the future Is labor vs. capital: People vs. Trusts. The first gun of that war, the Standard Oil decision. The Peace movement between England and U. S., benefi cial to both countries. Most fitting for them to start It. How to show appreciation for what has been done. Go to the polls and vote for honest men, men not controlled by corporate influences or subject to entangling alliances. "The farmers have an Important' part in the formation of this gov ernmont. The Revolutionary war waB opened on the field of Concord by farmers. Emerson wrote of the skirmish at the bridge: "By the wide bridge that arched the flood Their flag to April's breeze un furled, Here the embattled farmers stood 'And fired a shot heard around the world." "In 1861 there were 5500 voters In Wayne county; out of this num ber over 2000 went to the front, The farmer's boy Is the strength of the nation. "To-day we may behold our ban ner floating over 93.000.000 content ed people and loyal patriots, and carrying with It to the nations of all the world Its salutary influence for purity and strength and all that Is worth while in government, to day we are proud of our country.

Frank Wagner Arrested on Assault Charge FRED SMITH IS COMPLAINANT; CASE IS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE. Frank Wagner was arrested Wed nesday by Deputy Constable Patrick J. iMoran, on complaint of Fred Smith, Texas township, charged with having committed, at the Hotel Na tional, on July Fourth, an assault and battery on the deponent by striking the deponent In the face with his fist and following deponent in the streets and threatening to do bodily harm to the deponent without cause or provocation, and taken be fore 'Squire Robert A. Smith for a hearing, Wednesday afternoon. Therew ere four or five witnesses at the 'Squire's office, none of whom would swear that an assault had been committed at all. It Is alleged that there was considerable Interchange of conversation between the parties to the action on Tuesday at the Na tional 'Hotel. Also that they black guarded one another. The prosecu tor, however, couldn't show any marks as a result of the alleged mlxup. Lack oe evidence to substantiate the complaint compelled 'Squire Smith to dismiss the case. OIL STREETS FOR THE FIRST TIME. Oil was applied to Main street street on Wednesday and Thursday for the first time In Its history. The 'block between Ninth and Tenth streets was sprinkled with a black oil which contained a mixture ot asphalt, used especially for this purpose. The oil was applied by means of a "T" fastened to the bunghole of a barrel which was on a wagon. Valentine Welder did the work. Numerous objections that the oil has been allowed to drip upon the walks, have already been made The team could have been stopped while the oil was cut off in passing over the crosswalks. J. D. Weston F. W. Schuerholz, W. T. Moore and other members of the block were united on oil and it Is evident that they are willing to give it a fair test. BOYS KILLED 1,250,000 FLIES. San Antonio, Texas.

Advertise in The Citizen. Two Less than Last Year Youngest is Eighteen Oldest Fifty-three FARMERS LEAD AS USUAL; 7 FROM LACKAWANNA COME HERE FOR LICENSES. Twenty-four marriage licenses were issued in the month of June by Clerk of Orphans' Court 'M. J. Han Ian as compared with twenty-six in the same month last year. An examination of the June rec ords in 'Marriage License Docket Book No. 4, reveals a number of in teresting facts. For one thing, six of the June brides were under twenty-one, and four were "thirty past." One was of age. Three brides were past forty. The oldest bride was fifty- three, the, youngest eighteen. Three brides were eighteen, and a like number nineteen years of age. The average age of the brides was 25 and 5-6 years. The grooms were somewhat older, averaging 29 and 7-8 years apiece. One of the June bridegrooms was under legal age. Four were able to vote. One was twenty-two, four were twenty-three, one was twenty- nve, one twenty-six, one twenty seven, and one twenty-eight years of age. Two were thirty. Eight were over thirty, the oldest being urty-rour. The twenty-four blushing brides- to-be represented eight different callings. Fourteen gave their oc cupations as "at home." There were no less than three school teachers. Two confessed that they were what every good woman should be, "housekeepers," and one said she was a "housewife." There was one merchant, one dressmaker, one saleslady, and one factory em ploye, among the number. Farmers To The Front. The bridegrooms represented six teen different vocations. The farm ers took the lead as usual, with eight followers of that .healthful pursuit, or one-third of the entire numher. Among the occupations given bv the other sixteen were; Lumberman, salesman, lumber dealer, undertak er, mechanic, bartender, glassblow er, knitter, glass cutter, laborer, moulder, deputy collector, train dis patcher, assistant foreman, lineman. Lackawanna county wins the nrize for having the largest number of bridegrooms, from any one city. four giving the Electric City as their place of residence. The Pioneer City was renresented by two bridegrooms, and there was one from Moscow. In other words seven bridegrooms from Lackawan na county came to dear old Wayne to get their marriage licenses. No wonder Scranton Is jealous of Hones dale! In Wayne county, Hawley takes the lead with three bridegrooms. Honesdale and Rileyville divided second honors with two bridegrooms each. Pike county sent one bride groom to the Maple City. Wayne county towns sending one future head (?) of the household apiece are Ariel, Slko, White Mills, Win- wood, Ewaln, Preston, Galilee, West Damascus, South Canaan. A somewhat different state of affairs exists when the residences of tho brides come to he considered Honesdale takes the palm in this case, with three charming brides. Hawley takes second prize with two. One came from New York City, and two from Pike county. The rest lived in Tanners Falls, Madisonvuie, Ariel, Cherry Ridge, Galilee, Fallsdale, Wlnwood, Enul nunk, Bethany, Lake Como, Preston, Rutledgedale. Five grooms were married before, Only two brides let hope triumph over experience In past matrimonial ventures. In two cases the bride groom and bride were of the same age. Four brides were older than their future lords (?). Charles was the popular name among tho grooms, and among the brides the Margarets and Berthas were tho leaders. An opportunity to compare the ages of the grooms and brides fol lows, with those of the groom giv en first: 3719; 2525; 3023; 3930; 3029; 2022; 2318; 3733; 21 18; 22 19; 38 22; 23 18; 2725; 21 19; 2320; 2121; 4241; 5453; 5352; 26 22; 28 29; 3322; 2321; 2122 That Prothonotary M. J. Hanlan is the only man In the history ot Wayno county that ever held any office three successive terms Is probably duo In some small part, at least, to the diplomatic manner in which he handles tho prospective candidates for the "thirty years' war." "I wish you all kinds of good luck and happiness." That's his parting salutation to the bride, "Thank you. I wish you good luck!" Those are his final words to the groom, as he pockets his mod' est fee, "Good luck to you both." This Is the way he bows both parties out of his office. "It's pretty warm this morning,' the reporter heard him toll one maiden ot "past thirty" summers, "It'll probably he showery," an swered the bride-elect. As the re' Miss Helen Wilsey, School Teacher, Elopes with Scott Rutledge DASH AWAY IN MACHINE WHILE RIVAL FOLLOWS IN CAR RIAGE. With dust blinding his eye3 from the 'automobile bearing away from htm the Idol of his eye, Clarence Fortman, a prosperous young' farm er, Tyler Hill, followed for several miles Over rough Wayne county roads, rocks and thank-you-marins, the mnchlne that contained Miss Helen ' M. Wilsey, a bright-eyed school teacher, and Scott L. Rut ledge, her suitor. The chase was exciting and only Fortman knew what it meant to him, for the pretty young damsel had four years ago promised him that she would some day be his helpmate through life and now the thought' of that opportunity was slipping fast from him as the auto rolled over the roads and took from view the- face of his supposed intended. Catching glimpses of her as the machine wound in and out over the hills of the turnpike Fortman talked to his faithful horse and encouraged him on. Little by little the machine gained on him 'and then they disap peared from view. The elopers came to Honesdale. obtained their marriage certificate from Prothonotary Hanlan and then, continued their journey, passing through Honesdale and .sped on to .Aldonvllle. As, no one appeared 'and answered 'to the question, Does any-' person present object to' tilts' wom an becoming' the wife of this man, and if there be one let him now speak 1 or forever afterwards hold, his peace, or words to that effect, the nuptial knot was tied. Fortman came to Honesdale and here lost track of them. But that 'did not prevent him thinking .of his chosen one and what only a short time ago she did toward making their proposed home at Tyler Hill beautiful; how she Journeyed With him one day to .help sslect the fur niture with which his newly-remodeled home would, soon be furnished, and how. only .a. few-.days before-,her elopment she helped clean 4he home tor tneir proposed occupancy," how now all was blasted and his sweetheart-to-have-been was the wife of another. With bowed head he re turned home. Mr. and Mrs. Scott L. Rutledge are now living at the home of the 'bridegroom's father. In West Da mascus. It was here that Mrs. Rutledge, formerly Miss Wilsey, boarded last year when she taught the district school and at the Rut ledge Dan Cupid struck h.er heart witn nis dart. Miss wilsey went to Bloomsburg to take a course In the normal school and from there let ters were sent to Rutledge and also to Fortman. She had written Fort man to meet her In Honesdale one day, and then sent a letter to Rut ledge to meet her two days earlier. She arrived on schedule for Rut ledge, but when Fortman came with his turnout, behold the train arrived. but no sweetheart. Mr. Fortman Immediately called up Mrs. Wilsey, the girl's mother, at Tyler Hill, and told her that he had searched the town over but had not heard or seen anything of her daughter. He then returned to his home at Tyler Hill. It appears that the bride-to-be and suitor went home by the way of iioyds Mills, a different route than Is usually travelled, staying that night at tho Rutledge home, where she had boarded for a year while teaching school. Tho next day they came to Honesdale and secured their mar riage license. The manner In which .Miss Wilsey came to board at the Rutledge farm home, seemed to be the leading of Dan Cupid,, although blind at that time. It appears that Miss Wilsey had engaged board at another farm house, but owing to members of the family being ill with a contagious disease, she was recommended to the Rutledge homo, which she after wards found to be very congenial. The hrlde's marriage was a com plete surprise to her many Tyler Hill and other county friends. porter looked at the groom, who was considerably younger, and rather undersized, he could not help feeling that her words might be prophetic In more senses than one.
