COLDEST MAY DAY IN TWENTY

The little boys out in Stonecllffe,

Sunday and tho wind that blew from

permeated with the frosty spirit of
winter. There wasn't any snow here
about, but it was nearly cold enough
for it at 5 o'clock Sunday morning,
when tho mercury dropped to 28 de
grees, thus beating all Weather Bur
eau records for all May days except
one, and that was May 1, 1884,
The killings frost came, as pre
dicted according to Foster's bulletin,
to upper sections of tho State,
doubtless injuring- the berry and
vegetable o rops. Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan, northorn Pennsylvania and
Vermont had temperatures below
freezing. About 11 o'clock Sunday

fOU FANS OUGHT TO BE
PLAYING, NOT WATCHING.
Spectators at Basoball Games Get Too
Emotional, Says Expert.
Witnessing professional baseball
games tends to harmful excesses of
emotion, says Dr. Dudley A. Sargent,
Harvard university's world famous ex
pert on mutters of physical education.
Expressing his views on that point, Dr.
Sargent says:
"The excitement attending ball games
ns they are played at present is harm
ful. Our baseball funs nowadays are
devotees of a game In exactly tho same
sense as are those fascinated by watch
ing n roulette game or other games of
chance.
"Attendance nt these games means
that thousands of men and boys and
even women become unduly excited
over tho athletic prowess of profession
al players. They leave the ball grounds
with nerves tingling and spirits exalted
If the game goes well, and tho ques
tion is what outlet do those men and
women find for their emotions thus
aroused? I am tempted to leave tho
subject with an interrogation point.
"There is nothing wrong with a ball
game as bucIj any more than there is
with a theatrical performance as such,
but such games arouse emotion with
out furnishing a motor outlet. This
would not bo the case if the game wero
actually played Instead of wntched.
Wo are overdoing one phase of the so
called lovo of sport.
"There is nothing In this hothouse
form of athleticism, and the less wc
have of it the better."
BABIES, DOGS AND BURGLARS.
Pastor's Cup of Tribulation Overflows,
Owes Dogs Abject Apology.
The Rev. C. A. Beckett of the Nei
drlnghaus Memorial Methodist church,
In Granite City. 111., was preaching to
a largo congregation on a recent Sun
day night. As If by agreement four
lusty lunged babies brought Interrup
tions to tho sermon. The pastor frown
ed, paused, but finally passed into his
"secondly" in competition with the
babies. Just ns tho walls of tho babies
were nearly hushed by embarrassed
mothers there burst through the win
dows the clamor of several yelping
dogs.
"I can stand and have stood tho cry
ing of children," ho said, "but I con
sider tho yelping of these dogs tho last
straw. I nm going outside to drive
them away."
Then ho strode from the pulpit.
With such missiles ns ho could find In
tho churchyard the pastor routed tho
clogs. Ho returned to tho pulpit and
finished his sermon. There were no
further interruptions, for the hereto
fore crying babies now slept In their
mothers' arms.
After ho had shaken hands with tho
last of his pnrlshloners the Rev. Mr.
Beckett entered the parsonage. Ho
found the house topsy turvy. Four hun
dred dollars of church funds and tho
pastor's clothes wero gone. The dogs
the minister had driven away had been
doing their level best to frighten off
the burglars. Dr. Beckett has offered
to apologize to tho dogs.

Citizen. It is very interesting and

FARVIEW NOTES.
The governor has approved two
bills relating to tho Farviow hospital
for tho criminal Insane. The bills
In question permit the Dolaware and
Hudson to locate a station on tho
plot and to run wires over the
ground, concessions that wero over
looked when the company made a
gift of the tract to tho state.
A correspondent says: Ten of the
girls who went on strike at the Crim
inal Insane hospital at Farvlew last
Saturday lost their positions, and
they have been filled by other girls.
When they decided to strike, the
girls had a conference with the su
perintendent and Informed him that
they did not propose to work for the
wages paid which aro said to have
been eighteen dollars and board.
They were employed In tho laundry
and waiting on tables.
This is the second or third strike
that has taken place since the Insti
tution was thrown open. Some time
REGSTEIN BROS.
HONESDALE, PA.
ago the guards struck, but after a
conference with the superintendent
returned to work. The girls who
struck Saturday allege that they tried
to have their differences settled be
fore going out but failed.
It Is alleged on the part of those
who are connected with the institu
tion that a great many of the people
who go there and procure employ
ment look for sinecures, and In addi
tion to this they look for high wages
when they perform little work. They
seem to have formed the opinion that
because it is a state Institution all
they have to do Is to demand more
wages and their demands aro grant
ed. This story does not seem to fit
well in view of the fact that the girls
who quit allege they did not receive
more than eighteen dollars per
month and their food. Any girl who
can do house work can procure more
than this amount and not work near
as hard as they work at the hospi
tal. Notwithstanding tho fact that
the girls were held down to rock bot
tom wages, It is claimed there are
some of the employes at the hospital
who do not sweat much for the mon
ey they receive, and it Is also alleged
that they are pretty well paid at that.
