Several hundred men attended an enthusiastic Democratic-Keystone rally held Wednesday evening In the Lyric Theatre, at which Democratic County Chairman Chas. A. McCarty, Esq., presided, and stirring addresses were delivered by Dr. O. H. Rock well, Monroeton, Hon. William H. Berry, Chester, and Hon. William H. Dlmmlck, Esq., Honesdale. Seated on the stage with the speakers and the county chairman were Messrs. R. M. Stocker and N. J. Spencer. The meeting was opened shortly after eight o'clock by Chair man McCarty who Introduced as the first speaker Dr. O. H. Rockwell, fusion candidate for Congress from the Fourteenth Pennsylvania dis trict. Dr. Rockwell spoke for seventeen minutes saying among other things that he was unalterably opposed to boss rule. He claimed that the laws of the country to-day are being made by the progressive Democrats and progressive Republicans. He ex plained that although he used to bo a Republican he had never held of fice, nor was he a sorehead. His remarks were punctuated with ap plause. In Introducing Hon. W. H. Berry. Chairman McCarty said that his name Is a household word in Penn sylvania where he received 384,000 votes when he was a candidate for Governor on the fusion ticket last Fall. " If the men gathered here are Democrats," continued Mr. Mc Carty, "then two out of three vot ed for Mr. Berry la3t Fall. If they are Republicans then one -Oiiit of two voted for him." Hon. Wm. II.

Mr. Berry's speech was more of a lecture than anything else. Out side of a few brief references to the duty of the voter to elect Dr. Rock well, his address would have passed muster on any Lyceum platform or graced with dignity the pulpit of any Aflflin.lln, Tt 1 1 1 . .iiciiiuuiot .itJi&uuiJiu cuurcn, 111 which denomination, by the way, he is a licensed 'local preacher. He declared, in sneaklntr of noli- tical parties, that he wasn't looking for the label on the can so much as tho stuff that was in it, laying more stress on principle than on party. Mr. Berry is a past master In the art of holding an audience, and even the reporter forgot to look at his watch until the address was finished. The applause at times was deafen ing. Hon. William H.

The battle Is on and it's to bo fought to a finish." The Keystone movement of course Is a fusion movement, and while the name may vary and may be changed next year, tho movement is on your trail until you are caught.

T IN MOTHER'S CARE Says Percy Can't Stop Smoking Cigarettes. HE'S GOING TO TRY, HOWEVER, AND GO TO SCHOOL INSTEAD OF THE REFORMATORY. " There ought to be some steps taken to stop the sale of cigarottes In this town. It's against .the law to sell or give or furnish a minor cigarettes. It would be one of your duties to see that the giving and selling of clgnrettes In Honesdale is stopped," said Judge A. T. Searle to District Attorney M. E. Simons, Monday afternoon, when the case of Percy, the twelve-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wright, 241 Vine street who was implicated with Edward Schmuck, Alfred Polt and Ellas Hedgelon, young boys, who pleaded guilty to breaking into Gra ham Watts' store, Honesdale, a year ago' about Fair time, and stealing revolvers and knives, came up for consideration. Master 'Percy was scheduled to ap pear Monday morning, when the other boys were arraigned, but Dep uty Constable P. J. .Moran was un able to find him, and so he had a separate hearing in the afternoon. His mother appeared before the bar with 'him. Master 'Percy said in reply to the Judge's questions that he was twelve years old, lived in Texas township, and stole one of the revolvers from Watts' store. 'He also said he got 3 or 4 knives after they divided up. " He's an Inveterate smoker of cigarettes," declared his mother. " There ought to be some steps taken to stop the selling of cigarettes In Honesdale," said Judge Searle. " Well," spoke up Mrs. Wright, " I don't think it makes a particle of difference about the selling. I think they can get the 'makings. Whj there's plenty of boys that has tobacco. Then If they can't get ,thaji they'll get the last half of the cigarettes and tnavs tne worst. I think the greatest kindness would he to send them wliero they can't get any. Percy is an exceptionally hon est boy. He don't want to go to school." The Judge suggested that Mrs. Wrignt liad a good deal of force and wondered why she couldn't take care of him and his younger brother who is very much like him. "I have physical force," she pro tested. "I don't think our County Superintendent looks after the chil dren." "Why, yes, I can nut a ston to his smoking around the house." "Do you think evenings consti tutes tho whole of tho 24 hours?" she queried, when the Judge asked her if she couldn't keep the boy In nights and stop his smoking. "Do you want to be sent to the Reformatory?" the Judge asked Percy. No, sir," whimpered the twelve- year-old. Do you know what it means?" "Yes," answered Percy tearfully. " Percy has tried several time to quit cigarettes. He can't stop," ex plained his mother. The Judge wanted to know wheth er Percy had been going to school. "I hain't been to school, lately. he confessed. "We live In Texas;" explained his mother. "Now you go to school to-mor row," said tho Judge severely. "I'll try." " You won't smoke any cigarettes. or we'll send you away." Yes, sir. " Try him for a month." said the Judge to the boy's mother. " I'll try to find some place where you can send your boy without having the blight or stigma on him a reforma tory would. " Take him home." "Yes, thank you. I'll be back if he don't obey," was the parting shot of the mother as she and Percy loft the bar of justice. C. II. DORFLINC.ER TALKS RASE HALL. Tho following interesting piece of news we tako from the New York Sun of Wednesday: Nobody read more closely tho story of the visit of the Bostons and Athletics to England in 1874 de scribed In Sunday's Sun than C. H. uorilinger, the glass manufacturer of Pennsylvania, who said that he saw the first game played by the two teams In London. "I had been at school In Ger many," said Mr. Dorfllnger, "and my brother and I had been over thero for a year. We were on our way back home, and I remember to this day what a great thing we felt It was to see something American in London and a game of baseball at that. "What seemed to Impress tho Englishmen whose comments wo heard was the wonderful throwing of the members of tho visiting teams and the fact that they were so ac curate at catching long throws. We saw the first game of cricket played by the Americans too. Tho visitors astonished tho natives "by throwing and catching the heavy cricket ball in the same way they would a base ball, and we gloated when our men beat the Englishmen at their own game."

The voters of Wayne county want a representative ticket. A public office is, and by all the laws of right and justice, ought to be a public trust. The nominations made by the Republican voters at the recent pri maries show that they are fully alive to the necessity of having strong, able, men at the head of the county government. It was fortunate for the taxpayers that the voters showed themselves able to select a ticket as strong as that presented by the Republicans In this county. The Republican candidates represent the popular choice. We be lieve that always you can trust the people. We also firmly believe that the people of Wayne county will show that they can tell the difference be tween a ticket representing the entire county and one that represents but one section by electing the splendid Republican ticket with a magnificent majority on November 7th. THE JUDGESHIP, THE PARTY, AND THE PEOPLE. Every voter In Wayne, who desires not only the success of tho Re Republican candidates, and use all his Influence to secure their election, tions that will hereafter keep the county In the Republican column, should feel it a duty to go to the polls on November 7th, cast his vote for the Ropubican candidates, and use all his Influence to secure their election. A substantial majority for the Republican ticket will, to a great extent, be decisive as to .the future success of tho party, and a failure this year will have a far-reaching effect hereafter. While a full victory for the ticket will point the way to future suc cess, the election of the Judge is especially Important in this respect. The nominee for this office Is the head of the ticket, and his defeat would havo a more disastrous effect than the defeat of all the other candidates. Its demoralizing influence would reach ten years into the future, and prob ably longer, while it would seriously affect every election meantime. On the other hand, his election would largely tend to maintain a vigorous In terest and spirit among Republicans, even though Democrats held the coun ty offlcs for the next four years. But the election of the whole ticket would give the party a prestige and a militant force that would contribute very effectually to Its permanent predominance in the county. The enac tion of the head of the ticket is the first condition looking to future suc cess, and the election of the whole ticket would supply other . essential conditions. Yet we go beyond party considerations in advocating the election of Judge Searle, and urge it on- grounds that apply without distinction of party. Judging him by the record he has made arr'the- benchr4he -people should not permit his defeat, but should Insist on retaining him in the general Interest of the public. In the discharge of his official duties, he has shown a readiness of preceptlon and judicial Judgment, a firm and comprehensive grasp of all matters involved in the causes heard before him, a broad knowledge of the law, both in its general principles and its technical details, an accurate application of legal principles to the ques tions presented, and an obvious impartiality, which permitted no doubt as to his absolute fairness of purpose, which have commanded the confidence of the bar, the people, and of his brethren on the bench wherever he has held court. The administration of justice cannot he more effectually pro moted than by retaining him In this position for ten years to come. SPEECH RESTORED BY ELEC TRICITY. The many friends of John Sam uels of Canaan street, Delaware and Hudson fireman, who lost his speech as the result of an accident which occurred at Farview on the Hones dale branch last July, will be pleas ed to learn that ho has recovered his speech from treatment which he re ceived at the Medlco-Chl hospital in Philadelphia. In Jumping from an engine, Mr. Samuels struck his head against the track and when taken to Emergency hospital it was discovered that he had lost his speech. After recovering from minor injuries a few weeks ago he went to 'Philadelphia. It was first thought that an operation would be necessary but it was de cided to first try an electrical treat ment, which proved to bo very suc cessful. The treatment lasted from two to three hours each day and when developments were looked for one of the physicians asked the pa tient if he thought he could enjoy a hearty meal. " I certainly could," was the reply of the patient and the utteranco was an agreeable surprise to both. They were the first words uttered by Mr. Samuels since before the accident which was the most pe culiar that ever came before the no tice of the local physicians. Mr. Samuels will have to make another visit to Philadelphia before the treatment is completed. Carbondale Leader. SCHOOL NOTES. A preliminary lire drill was held In the school Tuesday afternoon. The pupils, numbering 490, loft the building in three minutes. Professor Oday attended the Bradford county teachers' institute at Towanda on Monday. The ses sions started on the 16th Instant and are in convention for the week. Thero are 400 students in the Honesdale school. Of this number one-fourth are In the High school. This Is a remarkable record and it is doubtful If there is another town the size of Honesdale where this can bo duplicated. One person out of every 30 of the population of the town Is represent ed in the High school. This speaks well for the educational spirit that exists in Honesdale. There has noen much said about the number of less families In the borough. Contrary to that state ment tho following Interesting fig ures speak for themselves.
