HONESDALE'S LARGEST AUDI
ENCE. When the new Gurney Electric
Elevator plant was dedicated on
Wednesday night of this week the
event drew in one place the largest
audience of people that ever gath
ered in Honesdale.
It is estimated that fully four
thousand were In the new building,
and that is a pretty large crowd for
a town the size of Honesdale to mus
ter on any occasion.
Of course more people came to
the town itself on Old Home week
on both occasions; but those who
came were scattered. On Wednes
day night there was nothing of the
"scattering" order about it, for they
all gathered "in one place and in one
accord."
One of the speakers, Homer
Greene, Esq., commented on the ex
traordinary large audience, declar
ing that In all Honesdale's history it
had never been equaled.
GOOD ROADS AMENDMENT.
The State Senate having concurred
in the corrections of omissions In
the resolution proposing the amend
ment to the constitution to permit
borrowing of ? 5 0,00 0,000 for Im
provement of roads, the question is
ready for submission to the people
at the next election.
The resolution passed the Legisla
ture In the session of 1911 and is
now through the House, the final
vote in the lower branch of the Leg
islature having been 189 to 2, the
most decisive vote taken on a big
measure at the present session. The
Senate had already passed the bill
and the action this week was to ap
prove typographical changes to make
the bill an exact duplicate of the one
passed two years ago. It will be
submitted to the peoplo at the No
vember election, and the voters wlil
then have an opportunity to say
whether they desire to have flrst
class highway system or not. We
must have good roads so why not
start in building them?
VERY UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.
IThe Citizen notes, with regret,
the great trouble, of a financial na
ture, that has come upon the Tribune
Publishing Company, of Scranton,
and It also notes, with much sorrow,
the half-concealed tone of satisfac
tion with which several of our con
temporaries have told the story in
their columns.
Any such misfortune as that which
has befallen the Tribune-Republican
reaches far In Its effect on all clas
ses of business. To the city of
Scranton it partakes of the nature of
a calamity. It has hurt the bank
ing Institutions of that city so se
verely that the effect will be an un
necessary tightening of their lines
against other business Interests that
will need and should have their pro
tection. It weakens public confidence
In all business enterprises along the
modern lines of co-operation and
allied capital. It weakens the con
fidence of those not living in Scran
ton as to her enterprises of all kinds,
for people are bound to look askance
at business ventures in any com
munity where failures on a large
scale occur.
As to Mr. Towne himself, his
ability as a very forceful writer
along editorial lines cannot be ques
tioned. That he has given Scran
ton people a good morning NEWS
paper must generally be admitted.
Whilo The Citizen has not seen po
litical matters in the same light as
Mr. Towne, It nevertheless believes
that that gentleman has been honest
In his convictions, and that he has
as much right to them as we have
to ours.
What the outcome of the affair
will be, can only be conjectured.
There will be no suspension of the
publication of the Tribune-Republican,
for, like the Sultan of Turkey,
"the sick man of the East," who Is
upheld by the allied powers because
they dare not allow him to come
to his end, even so is it with the
Tribune-Republican. Those to whom
it is indebted cannot afford to allow
It to fail, and for their Individual
protection they will have to hold
their arms beneath It and bear It up
in this hour of great weakness.
We are truly sorry, as before men
tioned in this article, to observe the
"darned-glad-of-lt" note in the edi
torial expressions of some of our
contemporaries. Such expressions
are in bad taste, to say the very
least. All newspapers In these stren
uous days have troubles and sor
rows of their own, and there is not
one of them that as the result of
some unfortunate and careless ut
terance, or some short-sighted busi
ness or editorial policy, might not
sooner or later be plunged into an
abyss that would bo as disastrous as
that of the Tribune-Republican. It
is better in every senso to be a help
er, than a hindrance, to say the kind
word rather than the words that
leave a sting behind them.
It Is to be hoped that the dark
cloud of troublo that now hovers
over the Scranton Trlbune-Republi
can and those In any way connected
with it may soon be lifted, and that
the sun of prosperity and peace may
ore long he shining In full brightness
and power.

his grave and express my personal
sense of loss.
"Judge Maglll was reared In this fine
atmosphere of plain, old fashioned,
honest living, of truth, honor, honesty
nnd probity In all things. Ho was thor
oughly sound and wholesome In his
views of men and' llfo and absolutely
unsuspicious. Judge Maglll had few.
faults because ho never Imputed faults
of others, no was strong both mental
ly and physically, and as a Judge what
he did was after careful consideration
and because he believed It to bo right.
In private life ho was the plain, unas
suming gentleman."
SAMUEL MORRISON, THE HONES
DALE MAN WHO DID THE
GURNEY PLUMBING AND
HEATING.
Any description of the building of
the Gurney Elevator Works In
Honesdale would be Incomplete with
out some special mention of the vast
amount of work that was dono along
the line of plumbing and heating;
and this, of course, leads directly
to the Individual who had the con
tract for doing that work Samuel
Morrison, once a Philadelphia boy,
but now a Honesdale business man,
It is all the more interesting when
the fact is taking into consideration
that this was tho only contract on
the entire building that was left in
Honesdale, the job being apparently
too largo or complicated for our lo
cal men to bid on.
The mode of heating the enormous
plant Is by the vacuum system, which
eliminates air valves. Tho drip re
turns to a pump receiver which sends
it on Its rounds again and again,
much the same as blood pulses
through all forms of animal life.
When the fires aro lighted and pres
sure of 25 pounds of steam or more
has been raised tho pump automati
cally begins to work, and keeps right
at it until the steam falls below that
point. Something like perpetual mo
tion, you see you start a fire and
the pump does the rest.
To generate the steam for heating
the plant required tho Installation of
two huge boilers of one hundred and
twenty-five horse power each. In
order that the heat could be conveyed
to every part of tho mammoth build
ing it was necessary to connect up
39,000 feet of pipe. This amount of
pipe, If laid end to end would extend
about seven and a-half miles.
The smoke-stack necessary to ac
commodate tho huge boilers is three
feet and six inches in diameter, and
it pierces the sky to the height of one
hundred and ten feet.
In the matter of radiator surface
it figures 7,200 square feet. When
it is considered that 300 square feet
will heat an ordinary house It will be
seen that to heat the Gurney plant
will require as much radiator sur
face as would twenty-four ordinary
residences. Tho steam Is controlled
by automatic damper regulators that
are set to adjust themselves to any
required degree of heat, and they do
the work they are supposed to do,
and thus all worry and fuss are cut
out.
In the matter of plumbing, the
contract called for shower baths, hot
ARREST HUMMEL'S DAUGHTER
Admits She Owned Revolver With
Which Father Was Killed.
Pottsville, Pa., April 24. Bertha
nummel, daughter of George Hummel
of Tower City, who was found dead In
his home, shot through tho heart, was
arrested in connection with the murder
and Is now in tho county jail here, hav
ing been committed without ball. Ed
ward Hummel, a son of the murdered
man, was also arrested as a witness.
Miss Hummel entered n plea of not
guilty, although she admits that she
owned the revolver which was found
by the side of her father.
40,000 PUPILS SHUN SCH00I.
Protest Against Superintendent Heeter
Continues In Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh, April 24. Fully 40,000
pupils kept away from 132 public
schools of this city In protest against
the retention of S. L. Heeter as super
intendent of schools.
Tho children did not make the Bamo
demonstration as when they paraded
with banners denouncing Heeter.
There wore few attempts to march and
these were prevented by tho police.
Heeter declares that ho has no In
tention of resigning.
CHOKED TO DEATH BY MEAT.
Nephew of John Wanamaker Expires
In Philadelphia Restaurant.
Philadelphia, April 24. Nelson Wan
amaker, forty-five years old, a nephew
of John Wanamaker, choked to death
In a restaurant on n piece of steak.
The meat lodged in his throat in a
coughing spell.
Mr. Wanamaker was taken to the
Jefferson hospital, where tho meat
was removed and a pulmoter used to
Induce artificial respiration. Ho was
dead, however.
GIANT KILLER BADLY HURT.
rrjrCoveleikio Knocked Unconscious
From Blow of a Bat.
Sliamokin. Pa., April 24. Relatives
of Harry Coveieskle, former pitcher of
the Philadelphia National leaguers and
who kept the Giants out of a pennant,
received a raessago that he had been
badly Injured at Chattanooga, Tenn.
While warming up preliminary to a
game a bat slipped from tho hands of
another player and struck him on tbp
nenu, rendering him unconscious.

and cold water baths, a G 0-foot sink
or lavatory In tho manufacturing
shop and a 27-foot lavatory In the
foundry.
The baths and facilities for health
and cleanliness were to be Installed
along specifications which called tot
tho very best as regards both mater
ials and workmanship.
In the matter of toilet rooms,
there are closets in every part of the
establishment. As to their construc
tion, and so forth, Mr. Morrison told
Tho Citizen representative that they
were better than would bo found In
first-class hotels. There aro two
luxurious toilet rooms for ladles in
different parts of the building, for a
certain number of women are em
ployed at clerical and draughting
work at tho Gurney Elevator manu
factory. Of course the writer can only
touch tho merest outlines of work
that were required in Mr. Morrison's
contract. Ho can glvo not even a
hint as to details. The work was bo
gun on November 1st, 1912, and was
pushed with all of the vigor that
characterizes Mr. Morrison until
April 16 seven days before the
building was to be dedicated, when
his contract was completed, and it
Is as satisfactory a piece of work
along the lines indicated above as
was ever attempted In this part of
tho Keystone State. During the prog
ress of the "work twelve men on an
average were employed. At no time
were less than six on the Job, and
frequently the number ran as high
as sixteen.
The completion of tho contract by
Mr. Morrison on schedule time and
in the highly satisfactory manner
that characterizes the work, tells
peoplo In very plain terms that In Mr.
Morrison Honesdale has a contract
ing heater and plumber that Is cap
able of doing great things and of do
ing them well.

Why

Very true. Why Not Tuesday? Wo have more than half expected that question and have been
prepared to answer 1t. Monday seemed to us at the time we began tho very best day because
it gave housekeepers all day Sunday to plan for Monday's shopping. Then, too, every worker in
tho store was ready after Sunday's rest to work most willingly on Monday. However, for reasons
aforesaid, which may bo no reason at all, we made Monday bargain day, and as Monday bargain day
we have made it famous, and as such to-day's bargains will add to Its reputation.
