' AND ARE HAPPILY WEDDED.
"Montlcclio, N. Y.
I am hereby satisfied My Son
And My Daughter to bo Mar
ried Jan. 1.
MR. HERMAN CONEY,
AIR. CYRUS HULSE.
Signed by Parents."
Such was the contents of a lettor
Herman Coney, Jr., ago 21, and
Stella S. Hulse, age 18, presented to
Prothonotary Wallaco J. llarncs,
Tuesday a week ago, with a viow of
securing a marriage licenso on the
strength of It.
It wasn't strong enough however
to suit tho legal mind of Wayno
County's Marriage License Purveyor,
and so ho suggested to the young
people who wore anxious to begin
tho New Year right by getting mar
ried, that the proper procedure would
bo to write to her parents, who reside
in Montlcclio, N. Y., and ask them to
go before a notary public, certify that
she was their daughter, and file their
consent to her intended marriage.
Equipped with tho necessary in
formation and supplied with a blank
filled out with all tho required sta
tistics, they proceeded gaily to tho
County Seat PostofTlce. Herman, Jr.,
remained standing outside in the
cold. Miss Stella bravely marched
into tho most frequented place in
Honesdale, purchased a special de
livery stamp, affixed it to her letter
to tho home folks in York state, and
started the ball in motion which sho
hoped would return in tho shape of
the coveted certlilcate.
Uncle Sam, Friend of Forlorn
Lovers that he is, made extra efforts
to carry the precious missive to its
final destination. No sooner was the
letter received in Montlcclio, N. Y.,
than it was taken to a Sullivan Coun
ty Notary Public, one John D. Lyons
by name. He affixed his seal of of
fice to tho application blank, had
Cyrus Hulso and Anna his wife sign
the document, and persuaded two
witnesses to attest to tho correctness
of their statement.
Soon tho coveted blank, now hap
pily filled out, found Its way Into tho
malls again, and speedily arrived in
the shire town of Wayne. Hugging
the letter tight she lost no time in
telling her lover about it. Both of
them hasened to the W. C. M. L. P.,
Mr. Barnes, showed him the ordor of
J. P. John D. Lyons empowering Mi
to issue a licenso to Herman Coney,
Jr., and Stella S. Hulso In that her
father, 'being informed of tho intend
ed marriage of his eighteen-year-old
daughter had filed his consent to the
said marriage, and of course ho was
only too glad to obligo them by hon
oring their requisition for a mar
riage license.
Thursday evening, the happy
couple went to tho parsonage of tho
First Baptist church. The pastor,
Rev. Geo. S. Wendall, was at home.
Little time was wasted In prelimin
aries. They promised to take each
other "for better or for worse," and
Pastor Wendell solemnly spoke the
words uniting
"Two souls with but a single thought
Two hearts that beat as one!"

Alonzo T. Searlo appointed a guard

When the list of Commonwealth
cases was called over, District Attor
ney M. E. Simons informed tho
Court that the caso of tho Common
wealth versus Charles Stevens,

most likely bo tried. The parties
to tho case, he said, have tried to ef
fect a settlement among themselves,
but so far have not succeeded.
Tho District Attorney also stated
that ho expected the cases against
G. W. Swarts, indicted on a number
of counts, would bo tried. Two
more indictments against Mr. Swarts
were returned to Court by the Jan
uary grand jury.
Tho caso of the Commonwealth
against William Marks et al., charg
ed with forclblo entry, will probably
be tried. Also tho cases against
Novak and Schlosky. The District

Riley would hardly bo tried at this
term. Enough Commonwealtn cases
are listed to occupy Monday and
Tuesday of next week, at least.

Constable Crosby Reports
A Pitiable Case
PARALYTIC FATHER, 7 BARE
FOOTED CHILDREN, AND
MOTHER IN DISTRESS.
"The soven children nro nil dirt
nnd rags and barefooted. The fath
er had spinal mcuigitis two years
ago. From tho hip down lio's par
alyzed, ami can't do anything. Wo
should help them to get something
to eat. It ain't right to leave them
that way. It ain't humanity."
With tears in his eyes, Constable
Alexander Crosby, of Berlin town
ship, told a Citizen man, Monday
the pitiful story of a family in desti
tute circumstances living in Gc
nungtown, his district.
Constablo Crosby, albeit he is a
public officer, has a big heart. He
could not begin to express his in
dignation over the failure of the Ber
lin Poormasters to do anything for
the suffering family. Finding his ef
forts to arose them from their seem
ing spell of economy to be in vain,
ho visited the family himself, took
them in things to wear and to eat, I
and took occasion on his quarterly
visit to the County Seat, to go in
and see the District Attorney about
it. But let Constable Crosby tell
his o.vn ato.y: . .
"Georgo Howell lives on a piece of
land owned by a Mrs. Beardly. She's
a widow woman between 84 and S5
years of age.
"They live this Bldo of Genung-
town. Howell is a cripple. Ho had
spinal meningitis two years ago.
From tho hip down, ho's paralyzed.
He can't do anything. He is mar
ried, and has seven children. The
oldest Is seven years old, and the
youngest Is only seven months.
"Tho neighbors have been talking
about them. None went to see
them. Last Saturday I went and
seen for mysolf. I 'went in and took
them ln old clothes and store
clothes. They have sevon little chil
dren. They were all dirt and rags.
Tho samo with him and his wife.
It's about time something was done
to help them. He was born there ln
Berlin township.
"His father lives ln Gonungtown.
Ho's got a rough place of a couple
of acres. Ho ain't able to do any
thing. Two years ago the town
gave tho Father $10 to help them.
They wanted to keep tho children.
They wouldn't give them up. Then
they sent them back to this place
with this old 'lady. They sent them
over Into the scrub oak woods. It
would bo all right if the man was
able to do something.
"Ho's anyways from 35 to 40
years old. If a man gets down so
he couldn't oven work on a farm
ho's pretty bad off. They haven't
applied to tho town. I think they
should. Wo are paying taxes enough
and wo should do something about
it. The Poormasters passed me over.
It Is right wo should do something
to help them get something to oat.
It ain't right to leavo them that way.
It ain't humanity.
"I told tho District Attorney to
write to tho Poormasters and seo If
ho couldn't get them to go and do
something. They do just as they
havo a mind to."
Think of them Dear Reader, as
you sit by tho fireside these zero
nights onjoylng your nfter-supper
cigar and reading tho columns of
your favorito papor. Try to picture
for yoursolf that poverty-stricken
fnmlly. Put yourselves ln that
mother' i place, that heart-broken
mother who must toll hor children
when they como crying to her for a
crust of bread to eat, that she
hasn't oven a crumb to give them.

IHHMVE
1 MILE (STREETS
IOO-Ft.-Front Lot Would
Cost S1200.
SEWERS WOULD COST $30,000;
CURDING $11,000; PAVING
1!0.-.
$1200 for a 1 00-foot-front lot oa
Main street! That is a conservative
estimate of what It would cost a
Honesdale property owner as his
sharo of paving tho street ln front ol
his home or place of business.
$115,205 would be the estimated
cost of paving a mile of Main streol
from Fourth to tho Borough Una.
This sum would provide for a street
fifty feet wide.
These figures aro based on th
cost of paving certain streets ln Car
bondalo whero a contract was recent
ly let at tho rato of $2.55 a square
yard.
The town of Honesdale is under
laid with quicksand, and a good
foundation would have to bo put In
for the paved surface. Then ther
would he 12,000 feet of curbing to
be provided for. At the rate of seventy-five
cents a foot this part of th
cost would fnot up to $9,000.
204,000 square feet of pave would.
If reduced to yards, equal 29.33S
square yards. At an estimated cost
of 2.55 a square yard, this part o!
the construction would total $76,
205. For the purposes of sewering,
and catch basins, $30,000 would b
a conservative estimate. This would
make the grand total equal $115,
2C5. If a man owned a 1 00-foot-front
lot on Main street, and paid one-half
of tho cost of tho improvement. It
would mean an expenditure on hla
part of $1200. If ho and tho property-holder
living opposite each paid
one-third of tho cost of the paving,
a municipal bonded indebtedness of
$38,421 would be created.
About fifteen years ago plans were
made for that very thing. A sanitary
engineer came here and estimated
that it would cost $35,000 for sewen
calculated to run below the Canal
bridge. Then camo protests from
property owners along tho cow path.
Now If tho State should prevent th
municipality from emptying sewaga
into the streams, the city would need
a "bacteria" disposal plant, which
would cost $10,000.
Honesdale went through an exper
ience different from new cities. It is
a well-sewered town. Private sewen
run every way. Ono thing that al
ways kopt them back from sewers
was the canal. They ran everything
in thoro Summer and Winter. When
;iit Canal wa olojed p tho borough
had a chance to go into' tho sewer
business. But thoy were thunder
struck and wouldn't go into it. What
a benefit it would have been to carry
the sewago down tho old Canal bed
Instead of taking It back to tho river.
But the people were discouraged.
It's up to you, Mr. Freeholder. If
you want paved streets at a cost of
$1200 to you, don't bo backward
about coming forward and saying
so!
