THE AUTOMOBILE PARADE.
A great deal of credit is due to the originators of the designs of the
two cars which won the prizes as well as to those who so carefully and
laboriously decorated them. It was a fine parade, and every one enjoyed
it. We take pleasure In reproducing here the thanks of the Executive Com
mittee of the Red Men who desire to express their heartiest appreciation
to all those who contributed towards making the Red Men's Auto Parade
-on Tuesday evening such a grand success. The committee knows the time
and labor necessary for dressing a car for parade, and thank every car
owner, who participated."
The award of the prizes seemed to meet with the popular approval
they deserved. The winners are to be congratulated and the losers compli
mented on the fine showing they all made.

Ji'-" THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION AT IIAURISBURG.
Democrats are peculiar creatures. They like lotsof everything, lots
of trouble, lots of confusion, lots of bickering, lots of talk without any
action, lots of pretty nearly everything except progress. The Democratic
State Committee or committees, which Is it? at Harrlsburg seem to
have their hands full this year and harmony among the members Is as
noticeable as Mr. Bryan's chances for the Presidency.
Present indications are that two separate meetings will be held, each
purporting to be the only reliable but which are necessarily confusing to
the lay mind. After the smoke of the Harrlsburg battle clears away It
may be possible to know "who's who" among the Democrats. But as
long as the Inherent characteristics of that party remain the same, It will
never be possible to learn "what's what" except with the assistance of an
official Interpreter.

yj' " THE HOME TEAM.
Some one in speaking of a way to make his town become famous
says that all it needs is a good left handed pitcher. The gentleman evi
dently was speaking In a facetious vein, but It Is a fact that a hangup
base ball team will bring a deal of publicity and not a little honor to its
home town. In these days a town needs to advertise as much as a mer
chant does and anything which contributes to that end should be sup
ported as much as possible. 'Honesdale has a good team this year; It won
two games last week in succession and has high hopes of winning the
Test on its schedule.
We hope It does. Gaining baseball victories is like getting wisdom,
you can't get too much of either. And The Citizen hereby extends its
congratulations to the home team for their good work thus far and trusts
that the double win of last week may be but a hint of future victories.

THE COMMON FLY.
It has been calculated that the progeny of a single female fly might
be 14,067,792,000,000,000 individuals at the end of the twelfth genera
tion, providing, of course, they all should live.
Until recent years It was the current belief that the house fly was
solely a beneficent Insect, but at the present time It is known to be a
dangerous enemy and every effort should be made to destroy it. This In
sect conveys causes of disease In a
germs on its feet, hairy legs, sucking proboscis or mouth parts. It has the
habit of alighting on all kinds of substances, particularly food and ex
crementltious matter and In this way Is a medium for the direct transmis
sion of the germs of disease from the latter to the former.
They are a great source of milk contamination and thereby a fac
tor in the causation of Intestinal Diseases of Children. The latest belief
of science Is that It is not the heat alone that causes the frightful Sum
mer mortality among Infants and children but to a large measure the fly
and the criminal carelessness of man in failing to prevent a fly's birth.
House flies have long been suspected of being factors in the dissemi
nation of Cholera. The worst cholera months are those In which these
Insects are most abundant.
Various methods have been devised for the destruction of flies, such
as paper and wire traps, poison papers and various powders and solu
tions. A piece of fire wire gauze eight inches long and Ave inches wide,
tacked to a wooden handle fourteen Inchs long, makes an effective beater
Jor striking and killing the fly.
A solution made by adding two teaspoonfuls of . formaldehyde to a
pint of water sweetened with sugar and placed In saucers throughout the
house will destroy many flies.
The house fly problem demands the awakening of the people to the
exigencies of the case and to the necessity of the adoption of vigorous
preventive measures. The expense Incurred to prevent disease from these
sources would be vastly more than justified by the results obtained.

THE AMATEUR
PHOTOGRAPHER
As announced last week we would
publish a series of articles from the
pen of Frederick Hasklns, we take
pleasure In reproducing the second
chapter:
"These starch grains are divided
into three lots, and each lot Is dyed,
one orange, another green and the
third violet. These colored grains
are then distributed at random over
a plate covered with a sticky trans
parent preparation. The spaces be
tween the grains of starch are tilled
with finely powdered charcoal. An
other plate Is then placed over this
mass and pressed against the first
one. This process crushes every
grain of starch, and the result is a
sort of tri-colored mosaic made up of
powdered starch. When the plate Is
exposed, green rays of light pass
through the green starch, violet rays
through the violet starch, and orange
rays through the orange starch. In
this way all colors but green are
filtered out of the picture at tho
place where the green ought to ap
pear, and likewise In the caso of tho
violet and tho orange.
"As stated before, the photo
graphs made by this color process do
not reproduce all of the colors pos
sessed by any many-colored object
which they represent. Only tho prin
ciple colors may be transferred. In
the eye, nature still possesses the
only photographic plate which Is able
correctly to register the value of all
light rays.
"The aim of the men who are ex
perimenting in color photography Is
to produce a photographic plate
which will duplicate the work of tho
painter without involving the long
and tedious processes he must era
ploy. The main value of the present
sort of color photography Is to fur
nish a key to correct coloring for the
printer. Formerly when a seed es
tablishment, for Instance, wanted to
portray its fruits and vegetables in
their natural colors, It was necessary
to engage an artist to paint tho pic
ture of each vegetable and fruit to be
illustrated, his work to be followed
by that of the engraver or lithograph
er. To-day he may make a picture
upon a color plate, and rid himself
of tho major portion of the expense
of preparing his seed catalogue."

THE SUMMER
BOARDER
' Among tho many advantages af
forded In Wayne county is that of
taking summer boarders. The op
portunities offered are far better
than they are In places where larg
er numbers gather annually and go
home enraptured with the beauties
of Nature's garden. Wayne county
Is an exceptionally beautiful place
and Honesdale Is tho ideal town for
capitalists to entertain propositions
for the erection of large summer
hotels on the hills surrounding the
place where tho first locomotive first
turned a wheel on the American con
tinent. Honesdale Is a historical
town which Is all the more reason
why city guests should come here
and get acquainted with the his
torical setting, etc.
Boarders are being entertained at
numerous places in the county and
from now on the guests will con
tinue to como and go. At George H.
Knapp's country home, Aldenvllle,
the following Brooklyn guests are
being royally entertained: Joseph
Yauch, son Joseph, mother, Mrs.
Diggers and sister, Miss Louise Dig
gers, Mr. and Mrs. Schwendor and
