Simons of this place.
County Treasurer W. W. Wood
claims that while away from home
this week ho talked 2,000 miles on
a telephone and could hear a whis
per at the other end of the wire.
Heretofore tho longest distance ever
to have been heard on a phone was
1.000 miles or from New York to
Chicago. The additional distance is
made possible by a recent patent ac
quired exclusively by the Bell Tele
phone company and will revolution
ize long distance talking.
The greatest Interest in the Ti
tanic disaster now centers in the ar
rival of the Carpathia in Now York
with- tho survivors, so that it may be
known definitely by friends and rel
atives of people who sailed on tho
Titanic who were saved. The Car
pathia is now steaming toward New
York, and is expeced to reach port
late Thursday afternoon or early this
Friday morning. Tho ship will not
bo halted at quarantine, but brought
direct to the Cunard pier in the
North river.
April 28, next, minimum freight
charges on all railways will be In

The rule provides that no single
package or small lot of freight of
ono class will bo taken at less than
100 pounds at first class rate, and In
no case will the charge of a single
consignment be less than 35 cents.
This order Includes our local Erie

Tho management of the over
popular Lake Lodore resort is mak
ing extensive improvements upon tho
buildings and grounds near that pop
ular picnic ground. The roller coast
er is undergoing repairs nnd the
sensational (lips along its rounding
course are being made deeper, which
will please tho pleasure seeker. The
gravel walk leading to the boat
house is being replaced with a
twelve foot board walk. A new dock
Is also being built at the landing.
Tho refreshment stand Is being en
larged In order to better accommo
date the largo crowds which are ex
pected the coming season.
J. B. Nellsen, a former seaman,
in speaking of the recent fato of the
steamship Titanic in mid-ocean, says
that in his opinion it is early In the
year for Icebergs to float so far
south. They very seldom begin to
come south until the latter part of
May or tho first of June. An iceberg
rests half under water and half above
and is like a solid rock. Tho ship
must have been going at a consider
able rate of speed to have caused so
complete a destruction of her bow.
To give a clear Idea of tho size of
tho vessel imagine it on tho main
street of Honesdale. It would reach
from Chambers' drug storo to Katz
Brothers' store. It was 175 feet In
height, from keel to the top of the
funnels, nnd about 94 foet in
breadth.
Speaking of the spelling contest
Superintendent Koehler told a Citi
zen representative that it has been
the means of bringing up marks in
that particular lino of study. In
former years tho pupils dropped very
low as a rule in spelling In common
school examinations, but thoro seems
to bo a remarkable improvement in
tho results of this subject. Of eight
school examination papers roturned
to tho superintendent tho avorago
mark In spelling was 90 per cent.
This goes to show what Interest and
Intensive teaching In spelling will do,
Instead of lack of Interest and exten
sive teaching. Superintendent Koeh
ler to whom tho puplla of Wayno
county's schools aro Indebted for
conceiving this plnn of study of spell
ing, heartily approves of Tho Citi
zen's booklet and suggests that every
I pupil ought to avail himself of tho
(opportunity of getting a booklet.
