East street will be opened to the
public according to an ordinance
unanimously passed by tlio borough
council at their regular monthly
meeting held at the town hall last
Thursday evening. The ordinance
calls for a strip of land 40x200 feet
between Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets, which will connect East
street with East Street Extension,
for which the council agrees to pay
$3,000. The borough fathers did
not buy the Wilson house, that be
ing taken over by George Erk, who
also purchased the U. S. Beers prop

Honesdale streets last year and as

confident that money that otherwise
would be applied to the better roads
in town would go a long ways to
ward the purchase of the strip of
land, and at the same time give
Honesdale an improvement that
ought to have been enjoyed years
ago. The street committee, in mak
ing its report, stated that tho mem
bers of tho committee instructed So
licitor Lee to find a purchasor for
land after Attorney Garratt gave his
lowest figure to the council at $4,
300. Solicitor Lee stated that ho
secured a prospective purchaser and
obtained an option on tho Garratt or
Wilson property and also the Beers
house and lot, paying 5100 to each
owner to bind the bargain.

INSANE HOSPITAL WATER '
RIGHTS NOT YET SETTLED.
Sluiceway Dug to Lower Reservoir
of Scrnnton Gas nnd Water Co.
Water Cannot be Pump
ed to Hospital.
The trouble between the trustees
of the State Hospital for the Crimi
nal Insane at Farview, and the
Scranton Gas and Water company,
who have been at odds for some
time over watershed rights is far
from being settled, as shown by the
latest move of the water company.
During the week a sluiceway was
cut through the bulkhead of the No.
7 dam, draining the water into No.
4 dam, leaving the water so low
in No. 7 that not a drop of water
can be pumped to the hospital.
When the land where the hospital
is located was ceded to the state, it
is said that a large part of the No.
7 reservoir was included in the
grant. The authorities at the hospi
tal Intended to pump the water from
No. 7 into tho No. 8 dam and use
this for the supply. Later a new
dam was built near the old Farview
hospital, as a storage dam. When
the new reservoir was completed W.
W. Scranton, president of the Scran
ton Gas and Water company, notified
Superintendent Fltzslmmons that
tho water, they Intended to pump,
belonged to him by right of pur
chase. It is understood, that at the
time, Senator Walter McNichols, one
of tho trustees of tho hospital, made
a proposition to the water company
to try the case out in court. It is
said tho attorneys agreed to this.
The latest movo of Mr. Scranton
has changed the aspect of tho case
and the state has given orders to
drivo a 500 foot well near the pres
ent site of the reservoir springs. At
present there is plenty of water from
tho springs to supply tho demands
of the hospital, but when the now
additions are completed the well will
be necessary.
TANGO PARTY AT
THE LYRIC MUCH ENJOYED.
.Airs. Rciclienbacher Conducts Popu
lar Danco Friday Night Which
is Attended by Many Young
People.
That the " Tango " and the "Tur
key Trot," the two new dances that
have captivated both young and old
in all parts of the country, have tak
en root and found favor in Hones
dale, was evinced Friday night at the
Lyric when couples of happy young
people Tangoed and Turkey Trotted
to their hearts content.
Mrs. Ida Relchenbacher conduct
ed the Tango party, as the danco was
called, and it was the first of its
kind to make an official appearance
in Honesdale. Tho Tango is not by
any means new to the young people
of tho town, for It has been seen at
nearly every dance tho past season,
but to havea' regular Tango party
was really a new thing and was en
joyed as such.
The large number of couples that
participated gave evidence of Its
great popularity in the county seat
and to say that tho treat was high
ly enjoyed would be superfluous. Miss
Julia Storms perslded at the piano
DEATH OF HAWLEY MAN.

mittee to give the matter attention.
Petition for Light.
Taxpayers and residents living in
the vicinity of East and Thirteenth
streets petitioned the council for an
electric light to be placed at the in

HAWLEY RETALIATES AND
TAKESFOURTH GAME
SATURDAY WAS A HOODO DAY
FOR OUR BOYS WHO BUNCH
ED ERRORS
Hawley Was Loaded For Bear and
Got Runs on Errors No Earned
Runs Made in Game.
For the last few weeks up to this
week Honesdale has been playing
almost, unbeatable base ball, in fact
it has been a long timo since we havo
seen any team going better and
everybody was "boosting."
On Saturday either a thousand
bricks or a ton of dynamite hit the
team, and they put up tho worst ex
hibition of base ball seen on the local
grounds in some years and Hawley
with Marshall Bonner, of Indianapo
lis, Archbald and other places,
pitching, and Mr. Kerrigan, of Port
Jervls, catching, and a Mr. Custer on
first base and a March on second,
from where wo don't know, gave us
the worst drubbing of the season.
Of course many of the former
"boosters" are now "knocking," and
with large size sledge hammers too,
but wo would ask them to stop and
think that the best teams in tho
world have their slumps and get beat
by worse scores than wo did on Sat
urday. But to get back to that game Sat
urday. Mr. Bonner was the whole
show from start to finish and we'll
have to take off our hats to him. In
addition to his good pitching the lo
cnl team helped out the Hawloy boys
all they could by throwing all their
bad playing for the balance of tho
season into one game. Vetter pitch
ed the first six innings for Honesdale
and did remarkably well considering
the support the boys gave him. Ho
was taken out, not because they were
hitting him, but just to seo if a
change wouldn't turn the luck, and
give the locals a little more ginger,
as they needed something to wake
them up. Loll pitched well, too,
but his support was no better than
Vetter's. Some people say that tho
Milford trip was too much for the
locals, others say the "jinx" has re
turned and still others have other
reasons, but we believe It was a com
bination of them all, and then add
the fact that the boys were a little
too anxious to beat Mr. Bonner. At
any rate we are only "even up" with
Hawley, and Hawley is only "even
up" with us. The score of 12 to 3 on
Saturday does not look any worse
than 25 to 8 and not quite so bad.
Luck certainly was with Hawley
all the way, even In the toss of the
coin to decide where the fifth and
last game will be played. As Mana
ger McDonald was the best guesser,
wo will journey to Hawley one week
from next Saturday (August 23) to
capture that deciding game. Follow
ing are wlerd details of the comedy
of 21 errors; yes, sir, 21 errors and
not a single earned run out of 15 in
the whole game.

KIMBLE'S AUTO BURNS.
The Overland touring car owned
by John Kimble of Honesdale caught
fire Saturday night on the road In
Indian Orchard and was considerably
damaged before the flames were ex
tinguished. ,
'Mr. Kimble and a passenger were
driving back to Honesdale when the
machine suddenly caught fire around
the engine. The flame was probably
caused by a back fire into the car
buretor. L. S. Partridge came along the
road and assisted in putting out the
fire by shoveling sand upon the en
gine. The flames leaped into the air
about eight feet.
The car was practically new and
the damage will amount to about
$700 as the engine was ruined. The
front part of the body was also dam
aged. Mr. Partridge towed the ma
chine back to Honesdale. The dam
age to the car is said to be covered
by insurance.

HONESDALE CHAUTAUQUA.
Begins Here August 21 Will Be
Ono of the Best Educational
Features Ever Held Here.
The Honesdale Chautauqua will be
giu August 21 and continue until the
27th Inclusive. The sessions will be
held on tho green opposite the arm
ory. The town and surrounding
country for a radius of ten miles
has been thoroughly posted. Banners,
flags, penants, and window cards
have been freely distributed. Some
of the best talent In the country has
been obtained which alone is a good
advertisement. The sessions will
consist of afternoon and evening per
formances except the Juvenile Chau
tauqua which will be held mornings
under the supervision of Miss Jose
phine Foster. Tho Chautauqua will
be held under a large tent. Dr. A. E.
Turner will be the platform superin
tendent and manage affairs. He is
also on the program and is one of the
best lecturers on sociology. A very
entertaining program has been pre
pared for the Honesdale Chautau
qua which cannot be improved upon.
Season tickets can now be obtained
from canvassers for $2.00. By pur
chasing a season ticket one can at

AT THE 1913 CHAUTAUQUA.
Bo-ides filling a professorship at
Swarthmore College, Paul M. Pearson is
a lecturer who has been frequently heard
In nearly every State of the Union, and
Director of the Chautauqua Association.
In 1912, tho Association organized
forty-one Chautauquas in Pennsylvania,
N'ew Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.
This year they have organized mora than
double that number. Dr. Pearson has a
placo on this year's program at the re
juest of the towns where he lectured
last year. Ho will present a new lecture-recital,
" Tho Joy of Living."
single entrance fee. Secure your
tickets early of the solicitor. She
will call upon you and if you are not
prepared to pay them, sign the lit
tle card which she will leave which
signifies that you will pay sometime
before the Chautauqua begins.
The number of Chautauquas in
America have Increased more than
300 during the past year, bringing
the total number of Chautauquas in
this country up to 1,500. While a
goodly percentage of tho increase
has been in the west, the develop
mnt has also been larger in Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Indiana. The rapid
growth ill tho number of Chautau,
quas in the United States is largely
due to the comparatively recent in
troduction of tho traveling tent or
circuit Chautauqua.
As far as the tent, the hauling ot
the seats, tho driving of the stakes,
the raising Of the canvas, and cer
tain of the methods of advertising,
the arrival of the circuit Chautau
qua in a town is not unlike tho com
ing of a circus. Instead of tho pro
fane and reckless men for tent crews,
however, the Chautauqua crews are
composed chiefly of young men
from tho colleges, while on tho pro
gram are many of the foremost men
of the nation.
Of the 1500 Chautauquas In the
United States about 1300 are circuit
or system Chautauquas. Some cir
cuit Chautauquas put on but a five
day program in a place, then pull
up stakes and move to the next
Chautauqua centre. Many others
continue for seven days In one place,
like the Honesdale Chautauqua.
Seven Chautauquas can be operated
simultaneously under this p'an with
the same program. The first day's
program moves on to tho next Chau
tauqua at tho close of tho day and
tho program of tho following days
of the week do likewise. This in
sures a change of program every day
for seven days.
At tho end of the Chautauqua sea
son, in September, talent from all
parts of the country who have been
appearing on the Chautauqua pro
grams throughout tho United States,
as well as tho talent for winter
lyceum courses, will meet In conven
tion at Chicago. Thero are about
1000 members of this organization,
which is known as tho International
Lyceum Association. Ross Crane, of
Chicago, is president. International
headquarters are maintained in Chi
cago and are visited dally by Chau
tauqua and lyceum talent who hap
pen to be In or passing through Chi
cago. COMING EVENTS.

MRS. MINNIE CHESTER AND
THREE CHILDREN ON WAY
TO MINNEAPOLIS.
Expect to Make Trip In Less Than
J! Days Passed Through Honcs
dalo on Friday Sell Post Cards
For Support.
Mrs. Minnie B. Chester, two sons,
Charles, aged 13, and Henry, aged
14, and daughter Alice, aged 15
years, all of Middletown, N. Y., who
are walking from New York to
Minneapolis, Minn., arrived in'Hones
dale Thursday evening at 8:15, hav
ing walked from Lackawaxen via
Erie railroad tracks to Honesdale, a
distance of 25 miles. They also
havo a Shepherd dog with them.
When the party reached Pond Eddy
the dog drew an express wagon, but
It was dropped at that place because
It interfered with the progress of
traveling.
Mrs. Chester and children are
walking on a wager, having been al
lowed 65 days to cover tho distance
between New York City and Minne
apolis. If tho territory is covered in
that length of time or sooner Mrs.
Chester and family will be given a
fine modern home in Middletown.
Mrs. Chester Is determined to niakei
tho trip across country in less time
than was taken by Weston, tho ped
estrian. The party is making every
short-cut that they can and for that
reason they came to Honesdale and
across Wayne county. By doing so
about 22 less miles will bo traveled.
While at Lackawaxen on Wednes
day Joseph Schiessler of this placo
told tho party that they could cut
off several miles by following tho
tow path or Erie railroad to Hones
dale. Mrs. Chester and the little
pedestrians did, and arrived In
Honesdale at 8:15 Thursday even
ing. After serving supper to the
walking family Mr. Schiessler took
the party to Heumann's Hotel
where Mrs. Chester and her threo
children spent the night.
Shortly before starting out on
Friday's walk, a representative of
The Citizen greeted the party. Mrs.
Chester, who is very enthusiastic over
the trip, said that to Mr. Schiessler
belongs considerable credit for giv
ing them the tip about tho cut off.
The only means of support that Mrs.
Chester and children havo is the sale
of post cards on which is a picture
of the mother and two sons, Charles
