HISTORICAL SKETCH OF
Erected in Honesdale in 1828 Scene of Much
Activity Stopping Place of Many Notables.
FIRST HOTEL ERECTED
Tho Wayne County IIouso was
Honesdale's first hostelry. Pictures
am herewith shown of the original
tavern and the present modern and
fine three story brick structure. The
first hotel was completed in 1S2S
and Charles Forbes was the first
owner and landlord. It was located
at the orner of Park and Main
street, the site of the present hotel.
It was by 100 feet, two stories
high and v-us a favorite stopping
place In stage coach days. It is said
that uo'f-l Wiiyne or tho Wayne
County lluUbo aj it was formerly
known, hr accommodated more
guests than an., betel in this section
of the State. This is verified by the
fact that it wi.s the oi.ly hotel for
several years.
During Mr. Forbas' lordship his
daughter, .Miss Lucy Ann, was mar
ried to Zenas H. Russeil. Septem-
ber 17. 1830, in tho Wayue county
House That part now i omblnes
tho northern portion ol Hotel
Wayne, which was a part of tho ori
ginal building. Mr. and Mrs. Z. H.
Russell were tho parents of Henry
Z. Russell, now president of the
Honesdale National Bank.
Mr. Forbes rented his hotcl to
Henry Dart in 1S40, and the latter
purchased the property live years
later. It remained in his possession
until 1857, when he removed to Rock
Island. 111. Tho following have since
been landlords: J. 11. Hazleton, J. B.
Eldred. Reed & Ball, Henry Ball,
Braman Bros. D. O. Jones, Fred J.
Skeels and Henry Brown.
John H. Weaver became the pop
ular and congenial proprietor of the
Wayne County House property in
1891 The following year he erect
ed the handsome and commodious
strufture. It is of buff brick with
tho name Hotel Wayne inlaid
in brown brick facing Main and
Park streets. 'It is one of the
most 'beautiful buildings in Hones
dale The 'hotel is modern in all its
appointments and is located in one
of the most picturesque parts of
Honesdale. The second photograph
shows Hotel Wayne in the 'back
ground of one of the many beauti
ful vistas In Honesdale.
Mr. Weaver had charge of the ho
tel until about two years ago when
ho leased the place to A. G. Loomls,
of Deposit, X. Y. The latter, after
a year's business at tho old stand,
was succeeded Tiy Barlow & Elmen
dorf, tho present lessees. Theso
gentlemen thoroughly understand the
business and without a doubt will
make a success of their venture.
Hotel Wayne, or the Wayne Coun
ty House as it was formerly known,
entertained a number of distinguish
ed guests in its day. Way back in
the early history of the town when
Philip Hono after whom Honesdale
was named, and Washington Irving
visited this place, then known as
Dyberry Forks, this hotel was visited
by theso notables. Horatio Allen.
the engineer of the Stourbridge
I. Ion, tho llrst locomotive to turn a
wlieel on the American continent,
which occurred at Honesdale Aug.
8. 1829 also stopped at this hotel.
Since then other men of prominence
have made this hostelry their
abode.

Double Tragedy is Due to Disaster.

nine-year-old daughter, llolon, with

THIRTEENTH REGIMENT MAY
BE GALLED OUT
Company IT Honesdale May (Jet
Order to io to the Mexican llor
deiClash Expected Between
V. S. and Mexico.
Company K, of the Thirteenth
Regiment, National Guard of Penn
sylvania, stands ready to be removed
to the Mexican border on a minutes'
notice. The men have been very ac-
tive for the past few days getting
everything ready for field service.
Arms have been oiled, cleaned and
inspected. The officers of the Thir
teenth regiment have been ordered
to have the men of their companies
ready to take the field as soon as an
expected order comes from Harris
burg. Advices received from Harrisburg
during the week led the regiment
preparations for duty. The oilicers
of the Thirteenth are so positive
that the call is to come soon that
they have arranged their business af
fairs so that they can go on a min
ute's notice.
The Thirteenth regiment Is com
posed of ten companies, eight in
Scranton, one In iHonesdale, one in
Kaston. Its present complement Is
GOO officers and men but recruited to
a war footing tho regiment would be
made of twelve companies of 100
men each.
That the situation between this
country and Mexico lias reached a
crisis, the officers of the Thirteenth
say, is indicated by the answer of the
Mexican government last week to a
communication from tho United
States War department, calling upon
Mexico to protect United States sub
jects from revolutionists in Mexico.
The answer was couched in terms
that practically told the United
States 'War secretary to " mind his
own business," the officers declare,
and the Mexican minister refused to
accept responsibility for tho safety
of United States subjects and their
property rights in Mexico. The
revolution against tho Madero gov
ernment has reached a point, the
Thirteenth men declare, whero the
Maderlstlc government 'has nearly
lost control, and whero tho Insurrec
tionists are rapidly developing a
guerrilla-like mode of warfare that
has pillage and tho murder of Inno
cents as Its aim. There are so
many United States subjects in .Mex
ico, and their property Interests are
so valuable that government has
felt called upon to stop in and pro
tect them, not from the revolution
ists but from federal forces as
well.
County Treasurer Miles Row
land of Pike county, won out as a
delegate to tlio State convention. He
defeated County Superintendent
Westbrook by two votes.

seems almost assured, for there Is a

Rev. Miller acted as tpastmaster
and Introduced the speakers. Royal
Relchenbacker, president of tho
Guild, made the introductory ad
dress of welcome. He congratulated
the members of the Guild, the pastor
and tho members of tho congrega-
lion anu in a
few remarks Intro
duced Rev. Miller as toastmaster.
Toastmaster Miller Introduced
each speaker in a short address of
appropriate remarks. He referred
to the threo speakers as a soldier,
a poet and author, and a minister.
W. W. Wood was introduced as
a soldier from tho ranks. The sub
ject of his address was ' Masculine
Christianity," claiming that tho
church needed men and that in all
the walks of life more maw ulino
Christianity was needed. He paid a
high compliment to tho women of
the church for their faithfulness.
He claimed that ths strugg'o to-day
was not against it-fidelity to Chris
tianity, but infidelity 13 the church.
He said that Chri&iiarity was a
'living condition of iho human soul.
"It Is not what a man believes but
what he is." IIo stated that It con
sisted of tlio sovereignty of Love In
the indlvicunl heart. Some of his
remarks were, "Tho Church is the
visible base of supplies for tho sold
ier of the cross." "Joy is the key
note of Christianity." "The only or
ganization that is a fair, substantial
help to the real man, is the church."
After some humorous remarks con
cerning the recent political land
slide and his own defeat, Mr. Greeno
expressed ills gratification at tho
large attendance of men, and his
appreciation of the help given by tho
ladles of tho church. He gave his
emphatic approval to pleasures of
this nature which bring men together
in social intercourse under tho aus
ipces of the church. "I believe," he
said, "that It is the province of tho
churcli not only to save tho souls
of men for the great hereafter, but
also to make gentlemen of them for
the life that now Is. Thoro is noth
ing liner or stronger or nobler In this
world than tho perfect Christian
gentleman." Referring to Kipling's
well-known poem and quoting tho
line: "And they rise to their feet as
Ho passes 'by, gentlemen unafraid,"
ho added: "Commend me 'to tho man
who can riso to his feet and stand
clear-eyed, clean-hearted, unabashed
and unafraid when tho Lord God
passes by."
Ttcv. I. Chantry Hoffman, pastor of
tho Evangellcan Lutheran church of
tho Nativity of Philadelphia, was In
troduced by tho toastmaster and he
gave a brilliant and able address on
tho subject, "The Measure of a Man."
Ho stated that every man should at
tempt to measure up to the standard
set by the Man of Galilee. Ho gave
somo reminiscences pertaining to
himself and tils work in tho church
and dilated at length on the work
and mission of tho Lutheran church.
IIo made a strong appeal to the
young mon to bo faithful and truo
to their high calling and to stand
firm in tlio faith delivered by the
saints. His remarks wero inter
spersed here and there by witty
phrases.
Tho banquet was a great success
and was without doubt the best evor
held by tho Young Men's Guild. As
ono of tho speakers said, "It was
dignified and rolined from beginning
to end."
Honesdalo Alive.
Tho following Is clipped from tha
'Port Jervls Union. It was Incor
porated In an improvement articlo:
"A short timo ago tho Gazette had
an nrticlo on 'Painting Poles.' It
praisod Honesdalo I. A. saying they
woro 'allvo' up there. Now Port
Jervls takes nobody's dust! We
know If Honesdalo can havo painted
polos, wo can. Tho Idea Is, tho un
sightly poles do not show, 'wlion
painted green, so plainly, as they
do unpatnted. They mix In with
tho summer follngo of tho trees and
aro moro pleasing."
