An Interesting reminiscence Is con tributed by Mrs. Julia Woodhouse, a former resident of Honesdale and well and favorably known by a largo circle of friends here. It is as fol lows: In reading of a recent meeting of tho veterans of tho Civil war In Honesdale, brought to my mind an Incident of 18G1 in connection with tho Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, in which I was ono of the humble actors. I was then about seven years of ago. My father, tho lato H. A. Woodhouse, of Hones dale, was at that time postmaster of the Legislature at Harrlsburg. Mr. Lincoln on his way to Washington for tho Inauguration stopped In Har rlsburg and dollvered an address be fore the Legislature. My father, who had a very sweet tenor volco, was requested to sing tho "Star Spangled Banner" before tho Houso of Repre sentatives and Mr. Lincoln which ho did afterward, putting me on his shoulder took mo to Mr. Lincoln who taking mo In his arms, kissed mo. To my childish mind there seemed to bo something Irreslstablo In Mr. Lincoln's personality nnd as I re member him I can still seo those kindly eyes and benevolent faco which seemed to strike a cord of sympathy In every heart and mado Abraham Lincoln beloved by all who ever mot him. I wonder If any of my old friends In Honesdalo can boast of a similar experience. (Mrs.) Julia Woodhouso Andrews. Now York City, March G. 1912.

NEW ROADS PROPOSED FOR WAYNE COUNTY Roads Bill to Ho Voted on In 1IM Contains Jinny Proposed Xcw Roads for this County .Map on Pago 11. Tho Citizen takes nlcasuro In re producing a map of northeastern I Pennsylvania, showing tho proposed I highways, under tho recent Sproul road bill. Tho mnp on pago 2 gives a good general Idea of tho extent of tho roads and routes, Bhowlng tho places through which tho Stato high ways will pass. I It Is readily seen from this maD that Susquehanna county has more miles of these roads than tho other counties. This is doubtless duo to tho fact that Ropresentntlvo E. E. Jones, was chairman of tho Public Roads Committee In tho House dur ing tho last session of tho Legisla ture and had charge of tho bill in tho House. Senator Sproul and Rep resentative Jones worked hand In hand for this groat road measure, Mr. Jones being recognized ns tho spon sor of tho bill in tho House, being second only, In fact, to its originator in working for its passage. There are about' 8,000 miles of roads represented In tho 206 routes laid down in tho Sproul bill. All these roads will bo surveyed and finally located and taken over by tho Stato on Juno 1, 1912. After that time tho State will have full charge of all these 8,000 miles of roads and tho boroughs and townships will bo entirely relieved of their mainten ance. To macadamize or othorwlso per manently Improvo this great number of miles of road will take years to ac complish, involving tho expenditure of many millions of dollars. It Is proposed to raise this money by the issuing of bonds by tho state. Tho people will voto on this bond lssuo, probably in the fall of 1913. Meanwhile the State will care for .these roads as earth roads and con struct Improved pieces with whatever money is nvailablo from legislative appropriations. This map shows tho routes in Wayne and adjoining counties. Some minor changes will doubtless be made by the Highway Commissioner after tho surveys arc completed.

Tho South Main street Bectlon, which Is more susceptive to fires, than possibly other sections of the town, was without adequate fire pro tection until Soptom'bor, 1910. Tho property owners and merchants, feel ing tho absolute need of proper pro tection against fire, agitated the or ganization of a hoso company. A call was Issued, asking all young men and others to bo present at a mass meeting to be held at City Hall, tho instigators being Robert Murray, John RIckert and Leon Katz. Each of the above mentioned gentle men prepared a list of ten names, selecting young men and others whom they thought would be inter ested In a flro company. To their surprlso over fifty were present at tho preliminary meeting. Tho object nnd purpose was thoroughly explain ed and temporary organization re sulted by electing Robert Murray president; Leon Katz, secretary; John Wasman, treasurer, and John RIckert, foreman. At the second meeting all temporary officers were elected to hold their respective offi ces for one year. Owing to John RIckert resigning to accept a position as traveling salesman, Benjamin F. Loris was elected foreman In his place. Since organization E. E. Wil liams has been elected vice-president and Is also first assistant foreman. P. R. Murray, Jr., holds tho office of second assistant foreman and Rev. Dr. J. W. Balta, chaplain. Hose Company No. 1 organized with 30 charter members.

HEROIC RESCUE MADE RY FOREMArHORIS AT FIRE .Sunday Morning nt Erk Brothers' Store Fireman Overcomo by Smoke Wns Carried Out of Burning Building. A daring and heroic rescue was mado at tho Erk Brothers' flro last Sunday morning, when Foreman Benjamin F. Loris, of Hoso Com pany No. 1, entered tho burning building and carried out one of tho oldest and longest In service mem bers of Protection Engine Company No. 3. Tho boys of Hoso Company No. 1 were playing a stream on the fire on the first floor when one of tho nozzlemen saw a faint glimmer of light inside as If it were a lantern In the hands of a firemen. The smoke was dense, having been made so by the falling of the three floors of tho south side of tho store, which occurred but live minutes before. Foreman Loris faced tho fiery tongues and ran to where the light faintly shono through tho penetrat ing smoke. It was a man. He picked him up in his arms and car ried tho almost overcomo fireman to tho street, where It was discover ed he was one who had been long in the service of the company. Af tor receiving fresh air he soon re covered and was again on duty. It is presumed that tho fireman was overcomo by tho smoke and wander ed into the burning building, not knowing where he was going. LeRoy Llenbach was also over come by smoke while on a ladder and was carried to the ground by Otto Truscott. Tho firo In the Keystone Block last Sunday morning recalls to mind the two previous fires some years ago in this same block. The first fire took place on tho morning of May 10, 1901, and again on the evening of April 24, 1907. Both fires as was the present one, wero destructive and aggregated many thousands dol lars' damago. About two o'clock Friday morning, Mny 10, 1901, firo was discovered in the first story of Freeman's clothing store In tho Keystone Block. Jacob Freeman then occupied the northern half of tho largo store erected by Knapp and Jenkins about 41 years ago. The alarm was turned in and tho members of Protection Engine Company with ono steamer respond ed, also Alert Hook and Ladder com pany ana Texas No. 4 Chomlcal En gine was promptly on tho scene. Tho steamer was located at the foot of 7th street and got water from the Lackawaxon rlvor. Tho lire spread to Menner & Co.'s store In the same block and their stock was badly dam aged by smoke and wator. Smoke also penetrated tho studio of J. A. Bodie, It doing considerable damago to tho fixtures and pictures. W. W. Weston then owned the build ing now occupied by Erk Brothers. The losses In this fire wore covered 'by Insurance. On April 24, 1907, firo was dis cvored in the third story of the Erk building In tho Keystono Block In the rooms occupied by J. A. Bodio as a studio. Mr. Bodio, Sr., was in Scranton at tho time. The firo prac tically destroyed overy thing com bustlblo on the third floor but llttlo damago "was done on tho second and first floors other than by water. Tho flames weakoned tho floor and tho heavy safo In Bodlo's studio crashed through to tho second f'oor. Bodlo's loss was covered by Insurance. Tho firo made Its way through tho wall Into tho Freeman Btoro but wns checked beforo It could gain mucn headway, but it succeeded In dam aging the stock of clothes. In luoso fires as In tho recent ono tho origin could not bo determined and It was supposed that It was of Incendiary origin as Is tho present supposition of tho origin of tho flro of Sunday morning.

Gas consumers of Honesdalo will be pleased to note In tho colums of Tho Citizen to-day an advertisement of the Honesdalo Consolidated, i Light, Heat and Power Company, wmcn states that fuel gas will be re duced from $1.50 per thousand for over 5000 cubic feet, to $1.00. They havo made a thirty per cent, reduc tion In all tho former rates as fol lows: Old Rate. 100 cu. ft. to 2000 cu. ft. $2.15 per thousand. 2000 cu. ft. to 3000 cu. ft. $2.00 per thousand. 3000 cu. ft. to 5000 cu. ft. $1.75 per thousand. Abovo 5000 cu. ft. $1.50 per thous and. Fuel gas, $1.50 per thousand. Rates Now in Force. 100 cu. ft. to 2000 cu. rt. $1.50 per thousand. 2000 cu. ft. to 5000 cu. ft. $1.25 per I tnousanu. Abovo 5000 cu. ft. $1.00 per thous i and. 'Fuel Gas, $1.00 per thousand. A lower rate In gas has been look ed for for somo tlmo by people of Honesdalo and as tho present re duction will put gas In the reach of , all, for heating and llchtlnjr nur- poses, tho patronage of the Hones dalo Consolidated Light, Heat and Power Company will undoubtedly be Increased. Tho 30 per cent, reduc tion on all rates Is a decided step on the part of tho company and will be felt by every gas consumer of this place. Tho rates now compare far orably with those of Scranton, Wilkes-Barro and even New York. WIlkes-Barro gets $1.25 gas; New York has $.S0 gas and Scranton $1.00 gas. While the rates in these cities are elss they are in reality larger than they are now in Hones dale where the number of patrons to tho gas company Is much smaller. The Honesdalo Consolidated Light, Heat and Power Company is well equipped to meet tho larger scale of business their decrease in rates will ultimately bring to tnom. Tho gas plant now has a capacity of produc ing about 40,000 cubic feet of gas per day. FROM THE CITIZEN 20 YEARS AGO. Rev.
