Tho act of Myron Lord, Cecil
Abraham and Harry Smith, who
saved Oscar Smithers from a watery
grave in Tyler's old reservoir last
December,' was placed before the
Carnegie Hero Fund Commission for
recognition for their bravery and
heroism. Mrs Irving Atkins, of
Windsor, Canada, sent a newspaper
clipping to Mr. Carnegie and referr
ed him to J. T. Bradley of this place
to furnish necessary information in
the matter. After a prolonged cor
respondence in the matter a special
agent of the Commission was sent
here to see all concerned in the mat
ter. The agent offered the hero
boys a college course which was de
clined by them all. Because of their
youthfulness they didn't fully under
stand its full meaning and import
ance of such an offer, hence their
declination of this liberal offer. Af
ter the return of the agent, Mr. F. M.
Wilmot, manager of the Commission,
sent the following letter to Mr.
Bradley:
Pittsburg, Pa., May 9, 1913.
Mr. J. T. Bradley,

their cases.
Yours very truly,

to the boys, of which each received
a similar copy: "Through the court

lying companies are the Lackawanna
Telephone Co., of Scranton, the Peo
ple's Telephone Co., of Wllkes-Barre,

town, tho Honesdale Telephone Co.
and the Berwick Co.
Tho committee has been, for many
months, engaged in working out a
plan of reorganization of the Con
solidated Company, which will re
quire foreclosure proceedings under
tho mortgage.
The committee, on behalf of se
curity holders having their bonds on
deposit with them, joined in the pur
chase with W. B. Green, of New York
of $993,000 of Consolidated bonds,
that were sold at public sale by the
Receivers of the American Union
Telephone Company, and there are
now on deposit with the committee
and with Mr. Green, bonds of the
Consolidated Company, having a par
value of, approximately, ?2, 000, 000.
There are In round figures $2,825,
000 Consolidated bonds outstanding,
and it is, therefore, only necessary to
have f 1,450,000 of bonds on deposit,
to successfully foreclose under the
mortgage securing them. In addition
to the $2,000,000 of bonds, there are
about $300,000 bonds that are tied
up in various matters and cannot; nt
this time, be deposited, but the own

deposit them and will deposit them,
as soon as they come into their phy
sical possession. There are, there
fore, only about $500,000 of these
bonds not on deposit with the com
mittee. A brief summary of tho affairs of
the Consolidated Company Is as fol
lows: There are bonds outstanding of
underlying companies, and of the
Consolidated Company, as follows:

"INDIA LAND OF SORROWS"
SAYS MISSIONARY
(Continued from Pago One.)
vhlch kills hor. This, however, is
not practiced as much as it was years
past.
Miss Campbell told of an instance
how an American doll sent to India
was tho means of Christianizing a
whole town. She said that there are
not enough toys and dolls sent to
India. Every Christmas box should
contain all such articles that it pos
sibly could.
Miss Campbell's address was very
interesting. She held tho undivided
attention of her audience from start
to finish. She pronounced the bene
diction in Hindoo, which was sung to
"Glori." Afterwards Miss Campbell
dressed Miss Elizabeth Bullock in
native costume. Curios from that
foreign field were also displayed at
the close of the address. A huge
python Bkln, a native snake, was also
shown. Special music was rendered
uunng the service.
Miss Campbell has a pleasant
personality and is a very entertain
ing speaker. Upon request of Pas
tor Will H. Hlller, Miss Campbell ac
cepted the invitation to remain in
Honesdale over Sunday and speak in
tho Methodist church, having come
here on Thursday last to address the
sub-district missionary rally. Miss
Campbell donated her time Sunday
morning to speak on India, but be
fore leaving she was presented with
a snug purse as a token of remem
brance from the members of the con
gregation for her services.

dale on Thursday Lnst a Great

homes in America: IS colored, IS
white, 10 Spanish, G Indian, 2 Chi
nese, 5 Japanese and Korean, 3
Alaska, 5 immigrant stations, G city
work, 4 orphanages.
Tithing God's Plan.
Tithing was another thought pre
sented by the speaker under her sub
ject, "America for Christ." Tithing
is God's plan for raising money. It
is a Divine privilege or partnership.
Th? Lord always provides for tith
ers. Mrs. Henry gave a number of
personal experiences of a friend of
hers which bore this out to the let
ter. Hawley Children Sing.

Tho session as a whole was a very
profitable and instructive rally. The
papers were well received and show
ed considerable thought in prepara
tion. This is the first sub-district or
ganized but others will follow with
in a short time. The district hereto
fore has been so large that it was
impossible to get all the societies to
