" 'Tis tho old-tliiio religion,

'Tis Uio old-timo religion.
It's good enough for mcl"
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we
could get all these politicians, all
these lawyers? It would bo tho
greatest blessing that -would come
to Honesdale?"
Declaring that ho was not bring
ing a new doctrine, bu$ that he was
around to proclaim the gospel that
brings salvation from sin, and to
preach the good old-timo religion,
Rev. 'A. G. Miller, of Phlllipsburg,
N. J., who is the presiding elder of
the Wilkes-Barre district of the
Free Methodist church, inaugurated 1
a series of gospel meetings Wednes-1
day night In a hall at 526" Main .
street, by delivering a powerful ser
mon before a small congregation.
Rev. R. C. Smith, Beachlake, and
Rev. C. H. Brlen, Honesdale, also
assisted in the service which was at
tended by four middle-aged women,
three middle-aged men, one report
er and one little bby.
Taking as his text "They that
have the form of godliness and
denying tho power from such turn
away," Elder Miller compared the
distinguishing characteristics of real
and of nominal Christians.
Doctor Miller remarked that In
his travels up and down this section
of country for twenty-seven years,
he once in a while found a fanatic.
A fanatic, in his opinion, is a man
who gets twisted in his mental con
dition and sees things hindforemost.
'If all the nominal Christians
who All the churches were all spirit
ual-minded what different conditions
we'd have in politics, business and
religion.
"There are three kinds of form
alists, viz. the consistent, tho worldly-conformed
and the emotional."
Speaking of the "worldly-conform
ed variety," Doctor Miller said: "If
they can get a preacher who'll come
around and explain away the word
of God; they'll pay him a good sal
ary. "You have to get up an ' oyster
supper to get money out of some
Christians. The nominal Christian
serves God out of fear. The real
Christian serves God out of love.
Real religion lifts a man up In har
mony with God."
It was "the good old-time- relig
ion" that Pastor Miller preached.
What the congregation lacked In
numbers It more than made up In
spiritual enthusiasm. Sister Smith
prayed fervently. There was old
fashioned singing. Doctor Miller,
white-haired saint that he is, Is
himself a living epistle of the glori
ous gospel he professes. And sing
ing? Well that refrain, so dear to
the hearts of believers in old-time
religion, is ringing in the reporter's
ears yet. Do you know tho words,
neighbor? Did you ever help to
sing that Inspiring old-time hymn
with the catching chorus:
"All other ground Is sinking sand!
All other ground Is sinking sand!"
If you didn't, "It's never too late
to mend," you know.
To Raiso Standard For Pharmacists.
Miss Anna E. Blgart, formerly of
this place, now of Carbondale, was
among those to pas3 tho examina
tion for registered pharmacists.
While In Honesdale Miss Blgart was
employed in Buel Dodge's drug store.
Of 60 applicants for registered phar
macists 31 were successful. Miss
Blgart was the only young lady In tne
class.
The Bureau of Professional Educa
tion of Pennsylvania has -determined
upon a completed first year Ijlgh
school course, or its equivalent, for
licensure to practice pharmacy. In
accordance with this standard the
boarde adopted a new rule that ap
plicants for license as assistant phar
macist, applying after March 1, 1912,
and applicants for license as phar
macist, matriculating after July,
1311, must have a certificate of pre
liminary educational qualifications
Issued by said bureau.
The next examination will be the
last one to -which applicants for as
sistant's license will be admitted
without first obtaining this certlfl
cate. It will be conducted In Har-
rlsburg on Saturday, February 17,
1912.

HOAV HENRY STARBUCK WAS
KILLED.
We reproduce 'from tho Port Jer-
vis Gazette of Tuesday details of
how Henry Starbuck formerly of
Honesdale met his death:
"Mr. Starbuck was killed about
11:30 o'clock Monday morning. -He
was a bridge carpenter In the em
ploy of the Erie and was working
with 'Foreman Theodore 'Durrant.
The two men had done some work on
the east end of a bridge that spans
the Ramapo River, and went to a
tower to warm themselves after be
ing out In the storm. Returning to
the bridge, they concluded to put
In what Is known as the wall ties for
the west end of the structure. Mr.
Durrant went to work on the east
bound siding and Mr. Starbuck on
the west 'bound siding. In all there
are four tracks over this bridge.
"When Mr. Starbuck attempted to
put his tie under the rails, he 'found
that it was too thick and needed
some edging. He was engaged in
trimming it down, when a long east
.pound freight train pulled by sep
arating him from his fellow work
man. While this train was passing,
passenger train No. 175 came up tho
west bound track at the rate of forty
miles an hour and running -forty
minutes late. After the freight "had
gone by Mr. Durrant noticed that the
passenger train was coming to a
stop a short distance up the track,
and looking across the bridge, he
failed to see Mr. Starbuck. Going
up the road about fifty feet, he
found him lying between tha west
bound track and the siding.
"An investigation showed that Mr,
Starbuck while working along the
siding got In the way of tho engine
and was struck in the side of the
head by the step with sufficient force
to kill him Instantly. His body was
dragged fifty feet, and several bones
were fractured,"

Arrested For Vagrancy
Sheriff Ilranian'H Star Hoarder Has
Voracious Appetite.
Life pn the lonely hemlock bar
rens of Clinton township was too
much for one Michael Schlinkszy, a
young man about 25 years of age,
who watfclered up and down, up and
down the hills and dales near Brown
town looking for something to eat,
rand finding nothing.
Farmers' wives returning from a
neighborly visit were -frightened to
see a gaunt, unkempt, ragged figure
pop out upon them at the lonely
places in the road.
They told their husbands about the
strange nocturnal prowler. As a re
sult tho public officers got busy, and
Michael, he-of-the-unspellable-and
unpronounceable last name, was hal
ed before 'Squire S. J. Stanton on
the charge of vagrancy, roaming
through the township of Clinton
frightening women, etc.
Constable Cowperthwalte 'brought
him to Honesdale, Tuesday night, and
turned him over to tho tender mer
cies of Sheriff M. Lee Bramnn. Half
starved as the young foreigner was,
ho made prompt use of the Sheriff's
hospitality by eating three suppers.
It was pitiful to see him' gorge after
his long -fast.
Sheriff Braman told a Citizen man
that Jf his latest star boarder's ap

PEOPLE'S FORUM.
The Citizen Publishing Com
pany assumes no measure of re
sponsibility for any articles
Which may appear in this col
umn. The Preliminary Contest.
Editor The Citizen:
Under Ariel items in the Wayne
County Herald of Nov. 10, referring
to the preliminary contest held at
Sterling on Nov. 3, we read that
' tho contest was very unsatisfactory
on account of two of the Judges be
ing -from Sterling township. The
Judge from Gouldsboro was unable
to attend, so Prof. Slpe had to select
another Judge to represent hlra, and
unfortunately he secured a man, who
after the contest, was found to be a
director of Sterling." Now, in the
first place it was unfair on the part
pt Mr. Reimer to suggest to me tho
man he did as -a Judge, because a
director would naturally favor repre
sentatives -from his own district. The
fault of the wholo matter lies with
Ariel rather than with Sterling.
lit might be well, in order that the
people may know the conditions and
decide for themselves who is to
blame for the unfairness of the con
test, to explain why Gouldsboro had
no Judge and why the people of Ariel
are saying that the contest was un
fair. Two weeks before the contest I
wrote a letter to Mr. Storm, the
chairman, for Information about
Judges and other arrangements con
cerning the contest. This letter
was'never answered. Then J wrote
to Mr. Reimer from whom I received
word two days before the contest
that each school was to select a
Judge and Mr. Storm was to select
the fifth. This was a very short no
tice and I was unable to get a suit
able Judge to represent us. Furth
er, as I understand, this fifth Judge
was to have been an impartial one,
Instead of an impartial Judge Mr,
Storm procured Rev. Morrison, who
for certain Teasons would not give
a fair decision to Gouldsboro. This
Judge told me himself that ' we
came down here ('Sterling) to-night
to knock out Gouldsboro." I have
reasons to believe that he meant
exactly what he said. Literally, they
"knocked out" Gouldsboro, but -they
did not do It fairly. It appears very
plain to me why 'Ariel should say
that the contest was unsatisfactory.
The fact that Mr. Storm did not an
swer my letter and that he selected
Rev. Morrison as the fifth Judge go to
show that, if each district would
have had its Judge, and if each Judge
would have worked in the interest of
his own district, as the chairman
thought they should, regardless of
merit, with the "knock out" spirit of
the Ariel Judges, Ariel would have
received both honors, a thing that
they thought they would be able to
do.
Now, I have been requested not
to let this feeling of dissatisfaction
get out among the schools of the
county because It would be a severe
criticism upon the schools of Wayne
county. I am sorry if It becomes a
criticism upon the educational Inter
ests but I feel that it Is proper that
tne other High schools of the coun
ty should know that the representa
tives from the southern district were
not fairly chosen.

In the Jury wheel we make Inquiries
as far as possible so as to get hon
orable men."
Such Is the method of selecting a
list of 500 names to fill the -Jury
wheel and such are some of the pre
cautions used to secure the services
of honorable and responsible men,
declared Jury Commissioner O. E.
Miller, Oregon, who with Jury Com
missioner W. 'H. Bullock, Dyberry,
and Clerk Bayllss Bullock, Dyberry,
Is busily engaged in this annual ar
duous task.
"Yes, we get lots of requests to
get In the Jury wheel," pleasantly
answered Mr. Miller, when seen
Wednesday afternoon by a Citizen
man in the grand Jury room where
the process of selection is being
carried on.
"It takes us about three weeks as
a rule," he said, "to fill the Jury
wheel. We usually send iut for
lists -from -which we select the names.
The quota of each township depends
on the number of taxables residing
in the district. Texas Is entitled to
76, Bethany to 2. That's the ex
tremes. The ,borough of Honesdale
Is entitled to 49, and so on."
"The names which were not drawn
In 1910 are replaced In the wheel
again. There are 1'52 names left in
the wheel from last year."
There were five terms of Court
last year. For each term a venire
Is Issued 'for 48 petit and 24 grand
Jurors. In addition there was a
special term of cpurt last February,
when the celebrated Carl Howe case
was tried. For the special term, a
venire of 40 petit Jurors was issued.
The name of no person who has serv
ed on the Jury within two years is
entitled to go Into the Jury wheel.
Additional Information which will
be of Interest to the taxpayers of
Wayne county, very few of whom are
averse to serving on the Jury, was
gleaned from Pepper and Lewis' Di
gest, Second Edition, Volume 2, as
follows:
Meetings of Jury Commissioners.
It shall be the duty of said
Jury Commissioners, and presi
dent Judge to meet at the seat
of Justice of the respective
counties at least 30 days before
the first term of the Court of
Common Pleas In every year,
and thereupon proceed, with
due dlllgenco to select alternate
ly from the whole qualified elec
tors of the respective county at
large, a number such as at the
next term of the Court of Com
mon Pleas next preceding shall
by the said Court be designated,
of sober, Intelligent and Judici
ous persons, to serve as Jurors
in the several courts of such
county during that year; and the
said Jury Commissioners, and
president Judge, shall in the
mode and manner now directed
by law, place the names of per
sons so selected In the proper
Jury wheel and the said Jury
wheel, locked as now required
by law, shall remain In the cus
tody of the said Jury Commis
sioners and the keys thereof in
tho custody of the sheriff of said
county.
There are close on to 6,000 voters
In "Wayne county. The chances of
Mr. Citizen's name -being placed In
the Jury Wheel are one In twelve. If
fortunate enough to be numbered
among the lucky 500, Mr. Taxpay
er's chances of doing jury duty are
about three out of five.
Good luck, 'brother!

Madam Brockway will be at
Charles McArdle's hotel,
Thursday, Dec. 7, between the
hours of 10 a. m. and 4 p. m.
This apparently harmless little
advertisement which appeared In one
or tne county papers last Friday
aroused the curiosity of a Citizen
man who went around Thursday af
ternoon to the National Hotel, Sixth
and Church streets, to find out what
it all meant.
He was directed to Room 11, Sec
ond Floor. Answering his timid
rap on the door, Madame" Brockway
herself appeared and told the report
er:
" Kou can sit right here. I'll see
you In a minute."
The reporter meekly sat down on
a hall chair to cool Ills heels, whilo
the Madame attended to the wants
of several natfents. It was a wom
an's minute, and everybody knows
how long that Is. Finally the visi
tors left and the reporter entered
the sanctum, and made his mission
known..
"I don't belong to the combine of
doctors," said Madame Brockway in
response to a question. "I'm a
doctor. I live at 229 W. Drinker
street, Scranton. I'm a manufac
turer of medicine. That's my 'busi

"I've been in business all my life.
I went to a hospital in Philadelphia
when I was 12. I graduated as a

half Indian. I make all my medi
cines from roots and herbs. I use
no drugs at all.
I wouldn t look at drugs. I
don't doctor like doctors. I don't

my goods and give my patients
what they need. I am not what you

Doctoring is to a certain extent a
matter of faith. If you have faith in
