PRICE Ctteett, T SEEM TO IT Home Team Beaten 7 5 But- Wait till Next Time OUR 1JOVS MIGHT HAVE WON HUT THEY DIDN'T; TWO ER RORS RESPONSIBLE. The County Seaters always seem to get a bad attack of stage fright when they go up against Taylor, and last Saturday afternoon's seance at the silk mill grounds proved to be no exception to the general rule, Leon Ross' little boys going down to defeat by the close score of 7 to 5. The Honesdalers played a good game, and had It not been for two bad plays on flies, both of which netted the Taylorltes two runs apiece, might have won the game. But then, the world Is full of " might have beens." We might have been President of these United States, if we had been "born lucky, but since we weren't we have to work for a living like the rest of them. Benjamin Franklin Hessling couldn't get his " drop " working somehow or other last Saturday af ternoon. And that helped Taylor too. The Taylor aggregation contained several " ringers." There was the pitcher for Instance, Yclept Stegner. He comes from the Susquehanna League, wo are Informed, and gets his three square meals a day at Ber wick. Then there was "Sloppy," evident ly a nom de guerre for some import ed player. And Keating too. He lives at Plttston, which is quite a ways from the new asphalt streets of Taylortown. Oh yes, our boys got licked. They took their third drubbing of the sea son from Taylor. But ye gods and little fishes, we are going to beat them next time or die in the at tempt! An error In judgment by Captain Brader in sending out Kupfer for a ball that was really Dudley's result ed in a collision and two runs for Taylor. That was Bad Error No. 1. Then Weaver who played center Held saw a fly coming out to him. It wasn't very far for him to go to get It, but he didn't seem to make any effort to catch it, but Just let It go. Two runs for Taylor was the result. Bad Error No. 2. Nevertheless pur boys played a good game." And they'd have won It too, If those two flies had been caught! Honesdale made Ave hits, Sander cock leading with a two-bagger and a three-bagger. Mangan singled twice, and so did Dudley. Five runs on Ave hits isn't so bad after all Taylor only connected safely nine times with Hessling's curves. And they were all singles too. Keating had three, and Sloppy two. Stump, Evans, Corhett, Stegner had one apiece. TAYLOR. CA TAYLOR R. II. O. A. E. 3 12 13 12 10 0 0 12 4 1 10 10 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 10 1 0 1 1 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1114 1 Stump, 3b . Evans, cf . .

SI WAS LOST HONESDALE Came to do General House work and all She Found was General Gloom A DAY EARLIER THAN EXPECT ED AND COULDN'T It EM EM BEH NAME OR ADDRESS. Miss Ella Totten, aged 17, of Mlddletown, N. Y., arrived In Hones dale alone Sunday night, on the C:5G Erie train, just one day before she was expected, and as a result she found herself Involved in a web of painful circumstances, from which she was not released until late Mon day afternoon, when she was Anally escorted to her destination at 914 Church street. Mrs. Wesley W. McCown, who con ducts a fashionable boarding-house at 914 Church street, had arranged with a relative of hers, a Mrs. Os borne, of Mlddletown, N. Y., to get a girl for general housework. All the details had been perfected. The young girl was given a slip of paper with the address of her future mistress written on It, and in order to make Identification doubly sure a bow of white ribbon was pinned on her waist. She was told that some one would meet her at the sta tion when she landed In Honesdale, and all would be well. It Is a long journey from Middle town, N. Y., to Honesdale, Pa., on the Erie Railroad. The scenery be gan to pall on the fair young travel ler. She nodded, she dozed. When she awoke her precious bit of paper, with the street number on It, was gone. Ella Totten was dismayed at the loss, but thinks she, I still have the badge of white ribbon, and all will be well when I get to Honesdale. But all was not smooth sailing when she alighted from the vestl buled Erie express train at the crowded Union terminal station Sun day night. No friendly faces met her gaze. No one came up to her and took her by tho hand, and said: " Come with me, I'm glad to see you." All was gloom. Half frantic with anxiety over the failure of her mistress to meet her, she wandered to and fro on the sta tion platform. Chief of Police J. J. Canlvan noticed her' distress. So did 'Mayor John Kuhbach. At the Iatter's suggestion she was taken to the Hotel Wayne for supper. Chief of Police Canlvan sent the 'bus scouting up Main, East Exten sion and West streets to see if num ber " 1491 " could not be' found, for that, as Ella Totten remembered It, was the address of her mistress. The very name of the lady for whom she was to work had gone from her, and unable to speak much English, Ella was In sore straits in deed. Meantime efforts wero made to ascertain the name of the peo ple who were expecting a girl from Mlddletown, N. Y., all efforts to find a number 1491 being futile. The 'phones were requisitioned. Everybody who had advertised for a girl, or who had hinted to their neighbors that they needed a girl, was called up, but to no avail. Then It was decided that the young stranger should remain at the Hotel Wayne over night. She did. Late Monday afternoon she safely landed at the home of Mrs. Mac Cown, after walking the streets of the Maple City for several hours with an escort who was unable to find 914 Church street for her. Needless to say Miss Totten was overjoyed to And tho number 914 which In her excitement she thought was 1491. And It was a tired but happy girl that went to bed Monday night vowing that she would never again go such a long distance away from home, alone. Yes, Honesdale is becoming a great city. Even grown-up people can be lost in her labyrinthine streets. What she needs is a wom an to meet unescorted strangers at the station, and see that they are taken care of, just like they have In Philadelphia and New York. That's It a traveller's aid department that s what wo need. CUT HIS ARM ON BROKEN GLASS Master Percy Wright, of Ridge street, last Thursday evening, while playing 'base ball with several com panions, tripped and fell on a piece of broken glass, cutting a deep gash In his right arm just above the el bow. Coroner P. B. Peterson hap pened to be motoring along, picked up the unfortunate youth, and auto mohlled him to his office at a double quick pace. It required three stitches to sew up tho gaping wound. ORDERS NEW SIGN BOARDS. State Highway Commissioner Blgelow announces that he is going to have sign boards placed on every intersecting highway in tho state This is exceedingly good news for traveling men and others in Wayne county and is something to which an win say amen. In soma parts of tho county the supervisors are a little slack in keep ing tho boards in position. They have become disarranged or disfig ured by boys and in many cases are weatherbeaton to the extent that they are unreadable. AGED MUSIC Joseph Wagner of White; wins yyas losi in the Woods FOUND AFTER THREE-HOUR SEARCH IN EXHAUSTED CON DITION. Joseph Wagner, aged 75 years, a White Mills music teacher, whilst out berrying Sunday afternoon, lost his way in the underbrush and sec ond growth timber, back over the hillside. The alarm was given about 8 o'clock in the evening by Adam Yego and his son, who live on the Long Ridge road, who claimed that they heard someone hollering back in the woods " I'm lost, I'm lost." For some unaccountable reason they hesitated about entering the woods alone after nightfall. Going down the road they met William Blackney, Honesdale, who was motoring homeward, and told him of the weird cries they had heard. Mr. Blakney hastened to White Mills, and gave a general alarm. A posse of about twenty men was speedily organized. Lanterns In hand they searched tho mountainside for three hours, before they finally found the lost musician lying under a tree In an old woods road, utterly exhausted by his frantic efforts to escape from his sorry plight. An amusing feature of the excite ment was the fact that the searching party after they had located the missing musician also lost their way, and It was a tired, thirsty and disgusted crowd that finally reach ed White Mills long after midnight, drenched to the skin by the heavy downpour. New Use for Hospital Fund Advanced TO DEFRAY EXPENSES OF CARRYING PATIENT IN AUTO MOIIILE TO SCRANTON. " I understand that the idea of having a hospital in Honesdale has not been abandoned," said a weal thy contributor to the hospital pro ject to a Citizen man several days ago. ' And yet I must confess I cannot see the need for it. I know that there are a good many others who feel the same way about It. " There is absolutely no doubt that the cost of maintaining a hospi tal would be prohibitive. I have seen tho result of attempting, to have a hospital In several places where the population Is many times as great as In Honesdale and It has always been disastrous. The money has not been forthcoming. "So far as the need is concerned, there are very few surgical cases in Honesdale, and when hospital treat ment is necessary, we can get to Carbondale in an hour and Scranton in about two hours, and be under the care of experts. A friend of mine, who is a doctor, and thorough ly understands the local situation, suggested a capital plan for the use of such a fund. He suggests that when there is a patient in need of hospital attention, who has not the means even to defray the expense of getting to the hospital quickly, that money be used from the fund to pay for an automobile to get him there." HOLLAND DIES AFTER BEING STRUCK BY TRAIN. Lorenzo Hollands, aged DO years, whose home was at 'Honesdale, died at the Wellsboro station Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock, three quarters of an hour after he had been struck by a New York Central train. The accident occurred near Stokesdale Junction. Hollands, who had been In Wellsboro for several days was on his way to Slate Run. He was walk ing to Stokesdale junction. Before he reached thero he laid down on a pile of ties to rest. "When he heard a passenger train whistle he arose and started to walk across to look for tho north-bound train, stepping di rectly In front of tho southbound pas senger train. The wheels of the en gine, tender, and baggage car passed over htm, but in spite of these Injur ies he was still alive when picked up and was rushed back to Wellsboro In the hope that his life might be saved. Hollands died, however, just as the train reached the station. FRATERNITY NOTES. I. O. O. F. Social. Freedom Lodge, Number 88, I. O O. F., enjoyed a social time Mon day night, when Ice cream and cake. coffee and cigars ministered to the wants of the physical man, and the mental palate was hit with inform ing and instructive talks for the good of the order. Modern Woodmen. The local camp of Modern Wood men of America adopted three can dldates at their regular meeting last Friday evening. The White Mills team or Foresters did the work, After the degree was exemplified the members and their visiting friends. thirty of whom being from White Alius, enjoyed refreshments. 1GIRLS ENJOYED CAMPING Had a Great Time at Camp Knot-a-man on Elk Lake's Shore KILLED TWO BIG BLACKSNAKES AND SHOOED AWAY AN UN WELCOME VISITOR. Honesdale girls are not superstiti ous. At least ten of them aren't, for in company with three young Scran ton ladles they spent two weeks camping on the shores of Elk Lake. Just to be on the safe side, and perhaps to counteract the fatal ef fects of the unlucky number In the party, they took two bravo guards along with them from the Maple City; by name, Dan. Monaghan and August Wllllea. The thirteen girls who made merry at " Camp Knotaman " were the Misses Margaret Donnelly, Marie Bracey, Hortense McKenna, Lillian Barberl, Frances McKenna, Bertha Myers, 'Helen Oaks, Marie McDer mott, Elizabeth Barberl, Essie Kel ly, Honesdale; and Misses Vera Tu man, Mabel Goddard, Helen Myers, Scranton. According to the statement of one of them, " we went to bed so late, we didn't know when to get up." , Only two of the party took a watch along with them. One day these two young ladles went to Scranton, and the rest of the bevy didn't know what time It was, or whether they were eating hreakfast. dinner or supper. To be on tho safe side, they ate supper twice. The girls had so much company they didn't get time to get lone some. More than a hundred visitors called at the camp. The girls all took turns at cook ing. Their meal schedule read something like this: Breakfast at 9 to 10 a. m.; dinner at about 3 p. m. and supper at obout 8 p. m. They killed two big blacksnakes by throwing stones on them. They passed the time by going in bath ing, reading, and going out on the lake for a row. One night it thund ered and lightened something aw ful, and another night a bold, bad man. tried to break into the cottace. but the brave guards were awakened and scared him away. 'Some of the girls were scared stiff. Tired, sun-burned, but hanny. the last of the jolly crowd straggled homeward Sunday night. They said that " camping out was great," "that they were going out aealn next year." One of the girls slept all day ounaay, to mane up lor lost time. T T N Finance Committee Meets- and Discusses Ways and Means PROJECT TO ERECT STOUR. BRIDGE LION MONUMENT SURE OF SUCCESS. A meeting of the finance commit tee of the Stourbridge Lion associa tion was held on 'Monday evening of this week at the office of Homer Greene, president of the association All the members of the committee were present, viz: John D. Weston, Hon. E. B. Hardenbergh, S. J. Dor flinger, Hon. A. T. Searle and Homer Greene. Much enthusiasm was man ifested by the members of the com mlttee in the project for the erection of a memorial, and ways and means were discussed and plans formulated for interesting the railroads of the country in the proposition, as well as other corporations, organizations and individuals. It was realized by the committee that this is not the work of a day and that In order to carry out the project to a successful completion the basis for it must be carefully, broadly and substantially laid. The members of the commit tee will take up the work at once however, and carry It along as rap idly as a wise and conservative pol icy will permit. As one of the first and ' necessary steps In tho cam palgn the committee authorized the publication of five hundred copies of a booklet prepared by Homer Greene, giving a brief history of the Stourbridge Lion and its engineer, Horatio Allen, a description of the trial trip of the locomotive at Hones dale on August 8, 1829, and an out line of tho movement to erect a memorial in commemoration of the event. Tho committee Is confident that the plan suggested by the pres Ident of tho association can be fully and successfully carried out, and that a country-wldo interest in the project, together -with substantial aid can and will be secured. The movement is now well under way and each succeeding day will add to the certainty. of Its nnal and success ful consummation. GREA INTERES MEMORIAL TEMPERANCECAMP AT E Company E. 52 Strong, Left Fridayon D. & H. HUNDREDS DOWN TO SEE THEM OFF; 12 "ROOKIES" IN THEIR MIDST.

SLINSGRO CELEBRATE MIR GOLDENjfjDl Hartungs Were Married in Honesdale in 1861 CONGRATULATIONS POUR IN FROM ALL SIDES; HALE AND HEARTY STILL. " 'Marry on 'Monday, marry for wealth; 'Marry on Tuesday, marry for health; Marry on Wednesday, the best day of all; Marry on Thursday, marry for losses; Marry on Friday, marry for crosses; Marry on Saturday, no day at all!" That's about the way the old cou plet runs. But Christian Hartung and his wife Agnes, of 815 Court street, believing "that the better the day the better the deed," got mar-. rled on Sunday, thereby gaining tho blessings of the forepart of the week, and avoiding tho near-curses of the latter end. All that Is by way of Introduction to the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Hart ung celebrated their golden wedding anniversary last Friday in their cosy Court street flat. That is, they spent part of tho day there, before and af ter a sumptuous dinner at the home of their daughter's family, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Rlef, In honor of the auspicious event. It was on a Sunday, in the stir ring year of our Lord, 1801, on the twenty-flrst day of July that their nuptials were celebrated In the old Honesdale German Evangelical Lu theran church, shortly after the morning service, by good old Pastor Bower who has since gone to his eternal reward. Christian Hartung and Agnes (Polle) his wife took a novel honey moon trip. The following Monday, July 22, 1861, they left on a wed ding tour down the canal, (for Mr. Hartung was running a boat on the old Delaware and Hudson canal then), spending a week on the wa ter. In 18C5 Mr. Hartung quit boating. and took charge of the Seelyvllle Ho tel. For twenty-Ave years he con ducted that popular hostelry, rebuild ing the place on a larger scale, after it was wiped out by Are. Leaving Seelyvllle, 'Mr. and Mrs. Hartung went on a farm In Fortena, where they stayed nineteen years. Five years ago last April they moved to the 'Maple City, where they have resided over since. " We can't complain tiny," they told a Citizen reporter, who called to congratulate them Friday morning. " We are feeling the same as usual, only we are gettng a little older. I was only sick, once since we are married," continued Mr. Hartung, and my wife was only sick once too. We are In good health, other wise. " My brother sent over to tho old country for me to come over. 'When I struck Narrowsburg I only had $1 in my pocket. Boating in those days was a strenuous life. Fights were of com mon occurrence, in fact some of the boatmen were Aghting pretty nearly all the time. " Boats run day and night," said Mr. Hartung. " The Honesdale and Hawley iboats kind of worked against one another like two political par ties. We used to take coal to Round out, N. Y., where it was loaded In barges for New York." Four daughters and two sons were born to "bless their union. Three daughters remain and are living in Honesdale, viz: 'Mrs. W. J. (Kather- Ine) Reif; Mrs. William (iiaruaraj Ferber; Mrs. William (Clara) Ret tewv iMr. and Mrs. Hartung are halo and hearty, despite their Afty years of wedded bliss, and bid fair to spend many more happy years together. Scores of friends called on them, Friday, and others wrote them, con gratulating them on their golden an niversary. Some even went so far as to predict that they would live to cerebrate their diamond anniversary, in which hope The Citizen heartily joins. CAN TEACHERS USE TOBACCO? School teachers who have had leis ure during the Arst month of vaca tion to study the provisions of the school code are now wondering whether or not the tobacco-using pedagogue will bo eligible for elec tion when tho new law goes Into ef fect. The teachers who like an oc casional "nightcap" or a cold bottle now and then are also doing some thinking. The new school law has the fol lowing new section: " No teacher's certificate shall be granted to any person who has not submitted, upon a blank furnished by the superin tendent of public Instruction, a certi ficate from a physician legally quali fied to practice medicine In this com monwealth, setting forth that said applicant Is neither mentally nor physically dlsquallAed, by reason of tuherculosls, or any other chronic or acute defect, from successful per formance of tho duties of a teacher, nor to any person who has not a good moral character, or, who is in tho habit of using opium or any other narcotic drugs, in any form, or any intoxicating drink as a beverage." It Is likely that tho expression, " narcotic drugs " may be applied to tobacco users. Tobacco Is surely a narcotic, but whether it is a narcotic drug is to be settled along the same line as pure food, or rather, adulter ations, are settled. 1
