THOUGHT FOK TO-DAY.
Blessed are they who have tho gift
o making friends, for it Is one of
God's best gifts. It involves many
things, but, above all, the power of
going out of oneself, and appreciat
ing whatever is noble and loving in
another. Thomas Hughes.

reform in women's
Another effort Is being made by
the Democratic place hunters to ig
nore the merit system so far as i
applies to the diplomatic corps.
Bryan is being urged to displace th"e
consul-general at London to make
way for an Indiana politician.
According to the State's vital
statistics pneumonia was the cause
of 1,005 deaths in Pennsylvania
during the past year. Tuberculosis
of the lungs was second with 763 to
its toll followed by 486 deaths caus
ed by cancer. Six hundred and four
died in early infancy.
HISTORY OF THE
WAR OK SULZER.
Governor George H. Hodges, of
Kansas, is hopeful that women will
soon sit as members of the sunflower
legislature. Governor Hodges is an
enthusiastic friend of equal suffrage
and a firm believer that women are
as competent to make and ad
minister laws as men are. "Women
are much interested in education,"
he said recently. "They are closer
to their children than their fathers.
They see the need of laws. Women
have the power to aid in making the
Kansas laws and I hope to see seV'
eral women in the next Kansas leg'
islature."
PENROSE COMMENDED.
Senator Penrose is receiving many
letters commending him for the In-
troduction of a new general pension
measure or bill that is so meritorious
that it ought to have been enacted
into a law years ago. It provides
suitable pensions for those who have
lost hands or arms, or both, in the
service of Uncle Sam.
WHAT ARE YOU WORTH?
Not. in dollars and cents, which
are but arbitrary figures and for the
most part meaningless.
John A. Slelcher puts the question
this way in a recent issue of Leslie's:
Young man or young woman, you
are worth something. Don't sell
yourself too cheap. Your health,
strength, intellect, Industry, appli
cation, morals, principles and high
character all of these are an asset.
They are worth something if you
have any of them. They are price
less if you have them all, for they
are what make our foremost men
and women. They make great teach
ers, workers, preachers, leaders,
generals in war, captains of the in
dustry, managers of railroads and
heads of corporations.
Yeep yourself worth all that you
can. Hold yourself in the world's
market at the highest price.
As the farmer seeks to win the
prizes with the best products of the
soil and breeding stable, as the man
ufacturer strives for the finest work
of the loom, the forge or the spindle,
as the young housewife delights in
the most delicate embroidery and
the artist in the highest example of
his art, so let everyone, however
humble, seek the best for what he
has to offer and he will get the high
er price.

Its race for the state flower honor,

CHAUTAUQUA BEGINS NEXT
THURSDAY.
Beginning Thursday, August 21
and continuing for seven days, end
ing August 27, will be known as
Chautauqua Week In Honesdale.
This Is Honesdale's first opportunity
to avail itself of a high class enter
tainment of this character. Tho
Citizen hopes that the people of
.Honesdale and surrounding towns
and hamlets will give tho Chautau
qua their undivided support. Tho
safest way to do this is to purchase
season tickets. They are transferable
and allow the members of the house
hold to attend the different enter
tainments. There is a big advantage
In buying a season ticket as It de
creases the price of single admission
to thirteen cents, whereas single ad
mission tickets sell at thirty-five and
fifty cents.
Do not put off purchasing your
season tickets. The town and sup
urbs have been districted and solid
tors appointed to take care of these
sections. Don't wait for the last day
to make your purchaso.
Tho Honesdale Chautauqua will
begin next Thursday afternoon, and
entertainments will be given after
noons and evenings. Special religious
services will bo held on Sunday,
August 24. The entertainments will
be varied in character and elevating
and refining in tone and spirit.
Concerts of yigh order by prominent
musical organizations and soloists,
and numerous other' features are
scheduled. You will make no mis
take if you attend the Chautauqua
and will bo repaid for your time and
money. It is something out of the
ordinary and requires the generous
support ot the community and im
mediate vicinity, Spend your va-
cation at tho Honesdale Chautauqua
A NEW INDUSTRY.
We understand that no decision
was reached at the meeting of the
stockholders of the Honesdale Foot
wear company as to the new fac
tory proposition submitted by W. H
Krantz, former president of tho con-
cern. In fact no actual vote was
taken on the matter, the stockholders
prefering to have the affairs of the
company wound up Anally before any
new proposition would be considered
it seems likely that many of the
stockholders will go into the new
proposition to manufacture decorat
ed glassware. Quite a number have
already signified their willingness to
do so. If a new Industry could be
started for Honesdale in place of the
one that was destroyed by fire, it
would be most acceptable.
In our statement in Tuesday's is
sue that the proposition had been
rejected wo did not In the least
intend any reflection on Mr. Krantz.
The new business venture would un
doubtedly be a good thing for Hones'
dale and we surely want to secure all
tho industries we possibly can. Also
the town Is willing to support with
its good will and financially if nec
essary, any proposition that is feasi
ble. The proposition that was put
before the stockholders of the Foot
wear Company was certainly feasible
for it has back of it the support of
many of the men who were in the
old company. They are willing to go
into it on the same basis of stock,
That in Itself speaks well for the
new company, if such there is to be.
While It would be most acceptable
could we secure a new Industry for
the town, at the same time it is a
bad advertisement to have the faa
tory of the old remain in Its present
condition for years to come without
a sign of an effort to rebuild it. Tho
walls are Intact and contractors
have estimated that the cost of re
building it would not exceed ?3,500
which is a small amount compared
to the actual cost of the building.
Let us hope that Mr. Krantz wjll
succeed in his efforts to securo suf
ficient backing from the stockholders
of tho Footwear company to venture
once more on . the seas of industry
in Honesdale where he has been
prominently associated in its busi
ness affairs for over twenty-five
years.
New York, Aug. 14. Following Is
a history of the high spots in the
Sulzer-Murphy wari
William Sulzer, impeached Wed
nesday morning, was elected gover
nor last November, with the sup
port of Tammany.
Soon after election he proclaimed
himself "leader of Democracy In
New York state," this being con
strued as a direct challenge to Chas.
F. Murphy, head of Tammany hall.
Sulzer refused to appoint men to
office at the direction of Murphy, and
repeatedly proclaimed his Independ
ence of Tammany.
First big breach came when Sul
zer, last winter, espoused the diroct
primary nnd opened a fight for a
"real direct primary law."
The legislature, with Tammany
leaders, defeated the Sulzer direct
primary bill and substituted one I
which the governor denounced as a
"fraud and subterfuge."
Sulzer called an extra session, and
made a tour of the state "appealing
to the people" on the primary issue.
Attacks on Sulzer began to be
made public. The breach with Mur
phy became recognized as beyond
mending.
A story was revived and widely
circulated to the effect that an in
dictment for alleged perjury was
sought but never obtained against
Sulzer in New Hampshire twenty
years ago.
Miss Mignon Hopkins, of Phila
delphia, filed suit for breach of
promise against Sulzer, who was
married five years ago.
Sulzer declared the New Hamp
shire story and the Philadelphia suit
were "part of a frame-up by Tam
many." He denied the charges in
both instances.
Tho extra session of the legislature
flatly turned down Sulzer's direct
primary bill and directed the Fraw
ley committee to investigate the ot
ficial acts of the governor.
The legislature refused to confirm
Sulzer's appointments, and then de
clined to adjourn, thus preventing
suizer rrom making "vacation ap
pointments." It recessed and Sulzer
contended the recess was really an
adjournment. On this ground he
now contends that the legislature is
illegally in session.
The Frawley committee held ses
sions in Albany and New York, ex
posing sulzer s campaign methods
and revealing his connection with
stock transactions in the New York
stock exchange, which Sulzer has
been attacking.
Tfie Frawley committee made the
charge that Sulzer appropriated cam
paign funds to his own use and
bought stocks with them.
Sulzer Issued a blanket denial.
The committee's report was adopt
ed by the legislature Wednesdav
night and the impeachment resolu
tion immediately presented.

VNSWER FILED IN DIVORCE SUIT
There were developments in the
divorce suit instituted by Mrs. Ella
Ames some weeks ago for an ab
solute divorce from her husband, E
F. Ames, on the grounds of cruel and
barbarous treatment, when Mumford
& Mumford, attorneys for tho re-
spondent, petitioned the court for an
order on the libellant for a bill of
particulars of the cause of action.
The rule was granted. The libellant
will be obliged to show on what her
allegations are founded within thirty
days. Mr. Ames has fifteen days
after that to file an additional an
swer and request a jury trial if de
sired.
In his answer the respondent de-
nies the allegation of cruel and bar
barous treatment and also that in
dignities had been offered. He also
requests the custody of his seven
year-old daughter, Frances N. Ames
Mrs. Ames asks for absolute &l-
vorce with alimony besides the cus-
tody of their child.
MASTERS APPOINTED.

Rlvenberg, libellant, against Freder
ick Rivenberg, P. VH. Iloff was ap
pointed master to near evidence.
C. A. Garratt was appointed mas
ter in the divorce suit of Hannah
Marie Pittaway vs. Albert Edward
Plttaway.
THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN MEDI
CINE.
From time immemorial alcohol has
blindly been the alpenstock for the
medical profession to depend upon in
rescuing the sick and dying. That
timo is fast passing for the simple"
reason that tho experimental study
oi mis arug-s lnuuence or effect up
on the lower animals has revealed
a new light and given a new and ac
curate idea of the Dhvsioloeical ac
tion of alcohol on living human tis
sue.
We have learned by experimenta
tion that alcohol is not a stimulant
but a sedative and favors fatigue
rather than giving strength to tide
a person over a critical point as had
Deen tne tnought for many years,
yes, decades.
The researches of Beebe of Cornell
Medical College, show that alcohol
may not only break down the de
fenses of the body against disease
but really cause disease by its inter
ference with the functions of the
liver. The liver burns up and de
stroys much poisonous waste matter
generated in the system. When alco
hol is In the blood the liver seems
to attack It first, consequently some
of the work of destroying poisonous
waste matters is left undone as the
oxidating power of tho liver Is limit
e'd. Because of this, waste matters
return Into the circulation and ren
aer me niooa impure and set up
various kinds of trouble.
The public generally is too little
aware of the injury done to the
brain by the slow and insidious ac
tion oi smau aoses or alcohol or
toxic drugs. I think you would be
surprised if you knew how strongly
pnysioiogisis and specialists on dis
eases of the mind are oDDosed to
even what is ordinarily called mod
eration in the use of stimulants like
alcohol and tobacco and tobacco es
pecially by persons who have a ten
dency to nervousness or morbid
mlndedness. For all practical pur
poses science and empiricism unite in
classing alcohol with the more or
less dangerous stimulants and nar
cotics such as hasheesh, tobacco,
etc., rather than with truly sustain
ing food stuffs.
Tho International Reform Bureau
Is sending out a form of a petition
for this legislature, which can be
adopted by one or more organiza
tions, to prevent interstate ship
ments of opium for Illegal purposes
so that any state with a good opium
law may be protected against its
nulllfaction by outsiders. Tho
amount of opium consumed in this
country, by latest reports, is four
hundred thousand Dounds. whfin.
by the standard of Japan, it ought
to oe oniy tour thousand pounds, as
that country uses only two thousand
pounds for a population half aa large
as ours. Much of the opium used in
our country Is hidden in soothing
syrups, cigarettes and headache now-
ders, but it does Us deadly work just
mo same.
JONES OF BINGHAMTON DYING.
Ex-Llcutcnnnt Governor of Now
York nnd Colonel of tho Famous
Massachusetts Sixth That Was
Stoned In tho Streets of Baltimore
nt tho Beginning of tho Civil AVur.
Blnghamton, N. Y., Aug. 10.
Gen. Edward F. Jones, one of tho
most picturesque figures in the na
tion's history, is dying at his home

years has been blind.

call of Lincoln for men and his ar
rival with his regiment in Baltimore
stemmed the rebel advance on the
capital. His regiment was attacked
by a mob in Baltimore as they march
ed through the streets, but not a
shot was returned. Lincoln after
ward said to him, "If you had not ar
rived tonight we should have been la

ing." Gen. Jones was a member of the

SILVERSTONE FOR BURGESS.
The following was taken from
tho Scranton Times of a recent date
William Sllverstone, known to
every man, woman and child In the
borough as "Billy," wants to be bur
gess. He has announced himself as
a candidate for the Republican nomi
nation and those who are familiar
with his long, busy career think he
will be an important factor in tho
fall campaign. Mr. Sllverstone en
joys a wide acquaintance nnd for
many years ho has been a sort of
public benefactor with little or no
reward from the Honesdale people.
Honesdale's first base ball team
was managed by "BIJly" and for up
wards of fourteen years ho brought
the best theatrical attractions on tho
road to the local playhouse. Among
showmen he is rated as the soul of
honor, but like many of that clan
ho has been more concerned with tho
amusement and comfort of others
than with his own fortunes. The
result is that he has little money
to spend in playing the game of
politics and ho will depend upon the
friendship of the men who know
him for his deeds of the past.
"A bigger and better Honesdale"
will bo Mr. SUverstone's platform.
If elected he will give his best efforts
to the betterment of the town and
the securing of new industries. He
is a sort of human dynamo, being
always on the move, and by electing
him the Honesdale people would
get tneir money's worth.
