bear testimony on this point, and so
can the doctor. This week Thanks

office, and instead of going to press
on Thursday afternoon we go to
press on Wednesday, and that pre
vented our spending Tuesday on the
streets of Hawley, which is a depri
vation not at all to our liking. In
order to furnish a Hawley depart
ment it is necessary to gather infor

Banker Mangon Remembers
The Dally Avalnnchc.
"Incidentally banker Mangan re
marked the other day, when refer
ring to some matter of local nature
that pointed to the yesterday that it
occurred "when Charley Savage ped
dled the Daily Avalanche in Hawley.
It Isn't ''Charley" Savage any
more. For many years it was Mr.
C. P. Cavage, and for a long time it
has been County Controller Charles should be maintained at the Eddy
P. Savage, of Lackawanna, whose and could not bo removed; but the
home is on Cherry street in the "No. Company was not obliged to main
6" section of Dunmore. As to the 1 tain a freight depot. That is why
"Daily Avalanche,"- the writer should
know something about that, for he
held down its job of local reporter,
and as It was his first work along
that line, he carried the burden of
the whole business on his young
shoulders.
That was away back in 187C, the
year when everybody went to Phila
delphia to attend tho big Centennial
Exhibition, when tho Democrats
were running Samuel J. Tilden for
President, and the newspaper busi
ness was a different proposition from
the publicity line of the Twentieth
century as it is pursued to-day. The
"Avalanche" was the "happy
thought" of the publishers and pro
prietors of the late Sunday Free
Press, F. A. Beannish and J. C.
Coon, the former the most virile
politician that ever "did things" in
Scranton, and the latter the most
versatile newspaper man that had
up to that time "moulded public
opinion" in the Lackawanna and
Susquehanna valleys. The "Aval
anche" was Democratic 'in politics,
and the thought back of the enter
prise was that if Tilden won out it
would become a great factor In local
politics. It was published morn
ings. On the night of election everybody
was excited. The returns indicated
the election of Tilden, and Coon set
the heading for the article claiming
the election of the "Sage of Gram
mercy Park," New York. In the
boldest letter that would make, an
exact line he said "NOW, WE'VE
GOT 1EM!" And under this was
about half a column of sub-headings
of claim and boast.
The next day the outlook was not
so rosy. There was an element of
doubt In the political air, but there
seemed warrant for "claiming every
thing," and again Coon set the elec
tion news heading. He reduced the
size of the first line, but he made
the heading more intense, and it
read, "NOW, WE IIAVE GOT "EM!"
The "Avalanche" was a 4-page
paper, six columns to the page. It
went to Hawley on the old "Pion
eer," leaving No. 0, Dunmore, be
tween 8 and 9 o'clock. It took a
little over 2 hours to make the run.
"Chet" Potter was the conductor of
the "Pioneer," and Charley Savage
was the newsboy. At that time
Hon. John E. Barrett was the city
editor and reporter for the Scranton
ReDubllcan. There was no E. & W.
V. railroad. Telephones, electric
lights, bicycles and such like were
undreamed of at that time and su
perstitious people were quoting
"Mother Shlpton's Prophecy," and
asking each other what they thought
of it.
Oh, the fate of the Avalanche: Cer
tainly! One night shortly after the
election, when it was quite sure that
"We" hadn't "got 'em," an alarm of
lire sounded when everybody was
out of the office getting supper.
Somebody had been careless with
kerosene oil, and Jt ;had been spilled
on the floor. There was a lot of
waste paper back of a boiler. Fire
had started In that paper; but the
firemen were right on the job, and
the flames were extinguished with
out burning the office out complete
ly. That ended the "Avalanche,"
however, and Charley Savage only
had onDortunity to sell it in Hp.wley
for a few weeks. People wanted It
while It lasted, but It was too good
to last very long. It was too bad,
however, that It didn't die a natural
death, but met its fate like an In
dian captive, at the. stake.
Certain Erlo Employees
To Bo Uniformed.
The writer was Informed on good
authority that all men employed by
the Erlo Railroad Company who re
ceive more than ?1.26 a day are to
dress in Erie uniforms. The gate
tender at the West Hawley crossing,
we learn, has received orders to "be
measured," and soon he, and others,
will be wearing new regulation togs.
While the men who are to wear
them do not take Very kindly to tho
uniform idea, the public will ap
preciate the innovation.
A Bit of Reminiscence
Regarding tin? Ifawloy T)epot. h JS
The Erie's depot at West Hawley
since its coating of. cement has
thoroughly dried, looks fine, and it
win 100k finer when tne painters
have cot through with the wood
work according to their Ideas of how
it should look. Like the famous
Dickens story, "A Tale of Two Cit
ies," the Hawley depot Is really a
tale of two depots and an old post
office. Look at the interior and you
can readily see where two buildings
were joined, lodking very much as If
some giant had taken a building In
each hand and then shoved them to
gether like an old accordeon. You
have noticed the small part on the
west end that is used for baggage.
That part of the depot was at one
time a little, building that stood all
by its lonesome on the bank of the
Middle Creek near the bridge, and It
was used for a post office. It was
the property of tho Pennsylvania
Coal Company.
The original depot for West Haw
ley used to stand farther up the
track towards Honesdale. All
freight for Hawley was handled at
the Eddy. A few years ago it was
decided to remove the freight depot
to West Hawley. The Eddy people
objected, protested and lnjoined the
Erie Company. It was then learned
that John Atkinson gave the land
for the depot and the Erie Company
accepted the gift with the under
standing that a passenger depot
the freight depot is now up town
and why thero is only a topping sta
tion at the Eddy with an agent who
goes to attend the passenger busi
ness only.
Previous to the removal of the
freight depot from the Eddy to vest
Hawley the only freight station
West Hawley ever had was In the
days of the gravity railroad w,hen
thero ?vas a freight store house not
far fom the foot of No. 13. Dick
Taylor was the truck runner, and
much of the freight was leather from
Robertson & Gale's tannery, and dry
hides that were bound for that es
tablishment, which cut a big busi
ness swath in the place that. is now
called Clemo.

EVERYTHING FOR THE FARM.
SAVE YOURSELF, SHOP EARLY.
Dr. Dixon's Seasonable Advice to tho
Many People Who Do Cliristinas
Shopping.
For the next .five weeks 2,500,000
women 'in Pennsylvania will be
busily engaged in their Christmas
shopping. Under ordinary circum
stances 60 per cent, of it "will be
done within the last ten days. The
old adage about the early bird se
curing the delectable morsel seems
to fail to lure buyers from their hab
it of chronic procrastination. Not
only Is it of financial advantage to
the Individual and of benefit;;to the
thousands of employees of shdps, but
early shopping may also effect' a sav
ing of lives and health according to
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, the Cbnimis
sioner of Health.
Dr. Dixon says: " The greajt bulk
of Christmas shopping is done by
women and if they realized the enor
mous saving of nervous energy
which would result from shopping
early, early in the holiday season
and early in the day, there would be
less need for preachments of this
important subject. The mind Is in a
better condition in the morning to
make tho necessary decisions, one's
judgment is naturally affected by
one's physical condition. Then, too,
the atmosphere In the stores Is bet
ter earlier In the day and there ,is
far less congestion of the transporta
tion lines. ' Under crowded condi
tions the air becomes vitiated, and
as a result, the vitality of the indi

vidual is lowered. In this 'physical
state the natural resistance is les-l
sened and the shopper is much mord
likely to succumb if in chance con-j
tact with communicable disease. The
danger of catching cold is also great-l
er and the conditions tending to thq
development of colds Into pneumonia
prevail wherever the ventilation is
poor. The excitement and nervous
exhaustion which follows too lenH
gthy periods of shopping have
tendency to aggravate any weakness
which thero may be of the vital or-1
gans: hence it is advisable not to
extend the shopping expeditions
over too lengthy a period.
"Children should not be taken in4
to the crowded stores when it can!
be avdlded. Conditions which make
the adults susceptible to disease ap-1
ply to them to an even greater ex-
tentl
"Tn ridrilMnn tn tho shnnnnrs' fiirip
of the question there are the thous-j
ands of clerks, delivery men and
other employees of mercantile esH
tablishments who under the mosti
favorable conditions must of necesH
sity put forth unusual exertion and!
undergo an unusual physical and
mental strain. Consideration for
them and their welfare as well as
the more selfish consideration!
should prompt every one to make
every possible effort to shop early."l
