TUESDAY,
The Scranton churches have de
cided to hold a Billy Sunday revival
in that city this year. That must to
Thomas B. Payne-ful.
Uncle Sam may act hastily at
times, but he generally comes up
smiling, bright and right at the end
of the game. For Instance, Postmas
ter General Burleson has done a sen
sible thing in rescinding the depart
mental order that double postage be
collected from the addressee when
ordinary postage stamps have been
affixed to parcels instead of the spe
cial ones which have been prescrib
ed. Under the instructions which
he has just issued, parcels which
have been improperly stamped and
other mail improperly bearing par
cel post stamps will be returned to
the sender with the stamps uncan
celed. The Philadelphia Inquirer
believes that this will lead to the
further sensible action of doing away
with the parcel post special stamps
entirely. The ordinary stamps, it
seems to us, should answer all pur
poses. WAYNE COUNTEANS IN TORNADO
AND FLOOD.
We are sure Citizen readers will
be interested in Mr. Crossley's letter
from Omaha, and Mrs. Kimble's let
ter from Ohio. One tells of the tor
nado, and the other tells of personal
experiences in a flooded section of
country. This paper is always pleas
ed to open its columns for such let
ters, as the stories they tell have
element of human interest that par
ticularly appeals and is appreciated
by readers here at home.
MR.' REYNOLDS DID IT.
If the women of the Keystone
state do not arise and declare that
the Lieutenant Governor, John M.
Reynolds, is just the greatest propo
sition that ever happened, then The
Citizen is greatly mistaken in the
gentler sex of this grand old Com
monwealth, that's what. Why, if it
had not been for the prompt work of
the Lieutenant Governor the Antl
Suffragists would have suffered a sad
defeat. Of course the women can't
very well take off their hats to Mr.
Reynolds, but they can, ..and have a
right to, say some very sweet things
about his gallant action.
AT THE END OF THE GAME.
It will pay our readers to read
very carefully the article published
elsewhere today written for The Citi
zen by A. M, Stevens. Especially it
will pay Wayne counteans who are
possessed with the idea that this
section of theunlverse is the "jump
ing off place" of creation to read
the article. Again are we called up
on to say that our county is a pretty
good place In which to live, and to
reiterate the fact that if the one who
wants to "go west and grow up with
the country" will work as hard here
as he would there he will be money
in, to say nothing of other matters
that acebmpany removals, at the end
of the game. It Is the end of the
game that counts, after all
THE TOOTHSOME SHAD AND ITS
BONES.
The other day we clipped from ono
of our down-the-country exchanges
the following dreams and comments
on the shad:
"Captain John Bent, of Glouces
ter City, N. J., a noted shad fisher
man, commenting upon the first run
of that toothsome fish, Is quoted as
saying that "shad would be the fin
est dish the Lord ever gave to man,
if It were not for the bones." The
bones worry the captain because of
the increased length of time neces
sary for the appeasement of his man
size appetite when he dines on shad.
"We object to thp qualification.
Who, pray, would want to bolt a
plate of planked, shad? We feel pos
itive that those bones were placed
there especially for the purpose of
requiring us to go slowly with each
mouthful; to linger lovingly over
each morsel of the delicious dainty.
No, captain, you are wrong. The
shad is all right in every respect, ex
cept price. Cut that in half and we
will worry along with the bones."
But the fact remains that people,
generally speaking, are nervous over
shad bones, and therefore, anything
that will help making shad eating

as safe as it is otherwise delightful,
will be as welcome as the first flow
ers of spring.
It is declared that if shad are
first boiled In vinegar, then thor
oughly rinsed, then seasoned and
served in the usual way, the bones
will become jellified and thus be ren
dered absolutely harmless. We're
going to try the trick some time, and
find out for ourselves, providing we
can raise enough "dust" to get the
shad.
It is also stated that raw lemon
juice will jellify and liquify any fish
bones in half a minute's time. We're
going to try that, also.
There was a time, years ago, when
shad came up the Lackawaxen as far
as Honesdale. They don't try that
trick any more, more is the pity.
Maybe it's because the charms of the
town are not properly advertised in
the Fresh Fish Gazette.
But it is shad season, now; so,
let's have some "Shad, oh! Shad!"
The Wilkes-Barre Record, one of
the best daily newspapers in this
State, or in any other State, has
made a special feature of the Billy
Sunday meetings, devoting many col
umns and pages to that branch of lo
cal news. In its Saturday's issue last
week it contained an original evan
gelistic campaign song by Joe A.
Boyd, one of its editors, and it is a
decidedly meritorious composition.

THE OniO FLOODS.
Extract From a Letter From Cam
bridge, Ohio, Containing Matters
of Interest to Our Homo
People.
Below we give some extracts from
a letter from Mrs. R. T. Kimble, of
Cambridge, Ohio. Mr. Kimble is a
son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Kimble,
formerly of Hawley, and the writer
is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. P.
.Woodward, of Hoadleys. Others re
ferred to familiarly in the letter are
children of the Klmbles, who live at
Massillon. The letter follows:
We are so thankful to be here to
write to you. This is a horrible
thing and destruction is all around
us. We had houses nearly covered
and streets covered, but nothing like
other cities and that was in the low
sections of Cambridge and we are on
very high ground. In Massillon, Nel
lie Kimble Preece lost all their fur
niture, including a piano, new White
sewing machine, bed room suit, two
rugs, curtains and stove. Their
household goods are ruined and Nel
lie, Bert, and little Alice, merely es
caped with their lives. They were
notified about 3 o'clock in the morn
ing and could only get out in the wa
ter and pouring rain.
Zanesville is a wreck. We are
about 30 miles from there, but some
of our neighbors went up and saw
out-houses, houses, barns, etc., piled
so you could not distinguish hardly
what they were. Holes big enough
to throw large houses into and hardly
know where the house had gone
could be seen.
The high water here seems terrible
for parts of the town could not be
reached, and on either side of us
in the valley it looked like big lakes,
where usually there Is no water to
amount to anything.
Parts of Dayton are burning up
and lots of children. Am afraid it
will be a holocaust. Some ministers
think it divine justice because of the
bitterness with which they fought
the suffrage question and drink.
Ono dentist here believes it too. I
am sure I don't know. It seems the
innocent suffer with the bad.
Mr. Kimble went to Massillon to
day; he started anyway. A railroad
crew we are somewhat acquainted
with had a hard time of it. They
had to swim out and nearly lost their
lives. A baby was born, in a tree
about 20 miles from here.
'Have only had one letter from
Massillon, so do not know any more,
except that to be here and see even
what wo have seen is awful, for I
could see, from the front porch the
inundation of the houses in Glass
Plant addition. One baby died and
they were marooned and had to be
rescued to bury the baby. Cam
bridge sent old clothes, new clothes,
groceries, everything, and we gave
everything we had that we didn't
need, and some things we could use
nicely, too. My bed seemed so very
soft and comfortable and I felt so
sorry, it seemed a sin to enjoy it
when whole small towns are wiped
out, and water over the tops of
houses, and people are still wailing
in the lQth ward, Zanesville and so
many parts of Dayton. Lowell, near
here, down the river, is nearly wiped
off the map, Where Mr. Kimble
boarded and worked in Zanesville is
ruined and gone and where Gordle
worked is also ruined.
Several prominent people in the
glass business we know are ruined,
and all I can say Is that it is awful,
and we'ro saved! That seems so
strange.

When Joseph Solliday died on Sat
urday there passed from Wayne
county one of the last of a generation
that we are pleased to call the old
school. No man in Hawley was bet
ter known, no man In Hawley was
better liked. He was modest, retir
ing in disposition, courteous, kind,
thoughtful and strong. His very
name brings up other names of those
who have passed into the great be
yond, such as Cromwell, Rodman,
Longstreet, Taft, Daniels, Atkinson,
Kimble, Phillips, Teeter, Ames,
Killam, Pellett and others.
For some time Mr. Atkison had
been troubled with his feet, and re
cently a gangerous condition de
veloped which resulted in his death
on Saturday, as stated above. The
funeral will be held at 2:30 p. m.
on Tuesday, the Presbyterian minis
ter officiating.
Joseph Solliday was born in
Bucks county, this state, on Septem
ber 5, 1824, and was the third of six
.children that were born to Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Solliday. The early
ancestors of the subject of this
sketch were manufacturers of flour
and of linseed oil. Old river men
used to stop at a hotel that Joseph
Solliday's father conducted at
"Black's Eddy," that was called the
"Black Eddy Hotel." Joseph's fath
er, the proprietor of this famous
stopping place for raftsmen, died in
1830, when little Joseph was but six
years old.
in 1842, when Joseph was eigh
teen years old, he came to Hones
dale, and was employed as clerk In
the "Wayne County House," as Ho
tel Wayne was then called, Mr. Chas.
Weiss being its proprietor at that
time.. After remaining for two
years with Mr. Weiss he removed to
Hawley and began clerking for Wil
liam C. Conklin at his store at Pau
pack Eddy, as the place was then
called. In 1847 Joseph Solliday be
gan business .for himself, in partner
ship with Charles V. Taft, father of
Royal Taft, now a clerk In the Scran
ton postoffice. After two years of
partnership with Mr. Taft, Mr. Solli
day bought his partner's interest
and conducted the business alone for
a few years. Then he became con
nected with the late William Crom
well under the firm name of Crom
well & Solliday. Their store was the
largest at the Eddy, and was one of
the most popular in the town.
Joseph Solliday was married on
February 17, 184G, or 67 years ago,
to Miss Anna C. Atkinson, of Haw
ley, by whom he is survived. They
had no children.
Mr. Solliday was a man who
sought retirement rather than pro
motion. He served two terms as
auditor, and with that exception
always refused to allow his name to
be used as a probable office holder
or office seeker. He was an earnest
Republican, always supporting that
party. He was a member of the
Presbyterian church, was an elder in
his church, and served most effic
iently as a trustee for the same. At
the ripe age of 89 he passed away,
and his familiar face and kindly na
ture will be greatly missed in the
town in which he lived so long. Al
though Mrs. Solliday is 91 years of
age she sustained the death of her
husband with remarkable courage
and composure.
"Bought and Paid For" will be
here soon and it should be remem
bered that this is a good play.
PRESIDENT HOLD
UP HIS MESSAGE
Delay In Sending It a Help to
Congress.
DOCUMENT PREPARED EARLY
Chief Executive Follows Precedent In
Giving Legislators Time to Organize
and In Also Having Message Ready
Long In Advance So That Preso
Could Be Supplied.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, April 7. Special. Fol
lowing a custom which has almost be
come nn unwritten law, President Wil
son sends his message to congress on
the second day of the session. The pur
pose of the delay Is to give the two
houses an opportunity to organize nnd
transact nil the preliminary business
necessary to start the congressional ma
chinery. Then It is also customary
for the houses to adjourn if a member
has died since the Inst session ad
journed. President Wilson also followed an
other precedent. He had his message
ready for delivery to tho press long In
ndvnnce of its presentation to congress.
This was a precedent established by
Roosevelt which was not followed
by Taft. The former knew tho bene
fits of wide publicity and usually had
his message ready long enough In ad
vance so that it could be mailed to
Europe. President Taft's messages
were never ready until a few days and
often only a few hours before sent to
congress.
Can They Rush It7
Tho Democrats have been told that
the country will await anxiously final
action on the tariff. They have been
advised that suspense Is the worst pos
sible thing for business. They have
been Informed that business men do
not care so mudi what the tariff rates
may be when finally agreed upon, but
what they want is to have the agree
ment early. With all this advice' the
Democrats should rush through their
tariff bills without delay.
Will they perform tho rush act?
They will not. In tho first place. It
111 becomes a great legislative body to
rush. In this case wo have two great
legislative bodies. The Democrats are
committed to tho doctrine of free
speech. Every man is entitled to ex
press his opinion on all subjects. At
least that Is tho theory.
And debate cannot bo easily closed
as long as there Is a large number who
I wish to express burning thoughts
-which' later may be franked to their
constituents. No; they cannot rush the
tariff. Even If the house was in a
rush the senate has no means of clos
ing debate, and the senators have lots
to say.
The New Members.
I have always been fond of the new
members of congress. They know so
much; they have so many remedies for
,all tho Ills which afflict tho body politic
(or which they think aflllcts tho body
politic, which is the same thing; they
are so serious; they know how pa
tiently the world has waited for their
advent into public life.
It Is a shame to nwnke tho new mem
ber. If ho could dream on and on for
the entire term it would be so much
better. But he will learn In such -a
very short time that ho Is one of tho
numerous pegs that are counted in in
the congressional game that his awak
ening will be unpleasant.
And yet this fute is not for all uew
members. Some of them have got the
stuff that makes good legislators who
rise to great occasions. Among the
new members who are seen for the
first time as the new congress assem
bles may be future leaders of the na
tion. Very probably a president of the
United States is among their number.
Succeed Men of Prominence.
Considerable interest is manifested
in the men who succeed men of prom
inence. For instance, O'nair of Illi
nois as tho man who succeeds Uncle
Joe has more notoriety for a few days
than he will get again In a long time.
The same is true of tho men who suc
ceed Nick Longworth, Ebenezer II111.
Sam McCall, John Dalzell, George
Foss, William McKiul'ey and several
other notables.
Federal Appointments.
Much interest is taken in the federal
appointments which tho president has
recently made, and more interest is
manifested in those which are expect
ed. Those who believed the president
was a man to make up bis mind on a
man and appoint him whether or no
have been quite mistaken. Several se
lections have been agreed upon, and
tho appointments seemed as good ns
made when something would bob up to
prevent tho selections.
Older Men Hold Places.
Tho young men of tho senate who
wero going to overturn precedents and
not allow any senator to hold places
on two of the four or five big commit
tees of the senate did not succeed.
Tho doubling up process was contin
ued and, in fact, Increased by the en
larging of membership of somo of the
committees.
It is true that a feeble attempt was
mado to reduce tho Importance of tltelr
positions by shifting somo of the older
men to lower places on tho commit
tees, but all who desired held their
places, and the matter of rank Is not
important
