Summer Home Books
The Erie evidently realises the
mistake it has made in not paying
more attention to advertising the re
sorts along its line and will retrieve
next season by Issuing a summer
home book. Its agent at Port Jer-
Vis H. L Slaosnn always baa been
active in promoting this business'
and in urging more publicity and hit,
efforts seem to have bora frait. The
Erie book was a good thing and Mr
Slanaon waa in a position to know
the effsot of cutting it put to save
expenses. The thanks of thia ami
other communities are line him for
his persistent work along this line
which no doubt largely imlaoed thi
management to resume publication J
or the book. Summer boarding!
bouse keepers should be prouijrt toj
meet Messrs Slauson and Rook at j
Milford Ion, Nov. 12th and give
them all the aid and enooursgfiiieii
possible. The poor printer is nof
getting any pay lor this nntu eot

House Plants Killed By
'-Pests. -
A Montgomery County woman,
whose koues plants were badly dam
aged, and some of them billed, by
insects, such as a palm and hello
trope, wrote to SUte Zoologist Sur
face for intorniatioo and also sent
him specimens of the pests that bad
caused ' the destruction. As other i
wcinen may have plants similarly
attacked, they will be interested in
the answer given, which is as fol
lows : j
'This proves to be the larvae of a
little flv, such as you describe aa see
ing on the ground around tbe plants.
These are found to belong to the
entomological genus Sclara, and feed
on the vegetation in the soil, aa well
aa upon tbe roots, especially wherein
decay has started. They thus -pro-mot,
decay, and may 4ov oonM&trr-1
sbla Injury, as you have obeervedJ -
- "Tbo' -best - way to prevent this
trouble Is to sprinkle tobacco dust
abundantly over tbe surface of the
soil around the plants. The flies will
not remain long In a place so treated,
and will no longer deposit eggs there.
Any larvae that may remain in Us
soil unkilled will undergo regular
development, and after they emerge
there' will be oo more infestation of
your oiL You can, ot course, make
a decoction of tooacco and water and
soak the soil with It snd thus de
stroy. the larvae themselves at once,
Lut tbe tobacco dust will keep the
flies from laying their eggs.'

BRIEF MENTION
It may be surprising to some to
know that Pennsylvania elected her
full republican ticket. After tbe ef
fort made to break It in the state It
is wicouraging to tbe party to find It
self upheld by voters. In Philadel
phia where a bitter fight was ronde
to elect Gibbony and defeat Rotan
for District Attorney tbe latter won
carrying many- wards by larger
majorities tban was expected.
The vote on tbe constitutional
amendments In this county was de
cidedly mixed, most townships on a
light vote going in. favor of them
while Delaware rallied to their de
feat, by a oomrative1y Urge major
Uy. Tha vote in tbe county waa
very light and the amendments were
largely neglected. . -
Although the democrats in Port
Jervis nominated an excellent ticket
tbe head being Mayor Swartwout
and C, F. Van Inwegen for Akler
men at large it went down to defeat
last Tuesday. The people seemed to
think the republicans bad a better
one and elected Dr. Knapp Mayor
and Joseph Johnson Alderman. Put
up the best men oo both sides, let the
votere decide and tbe country is
pretty sure to be safe.
John Zimmerman of Nev York
visited here pirt of the week.
Tammany elected Gay nor. Mayor
of New York but loat the rest of the
ticket. This places the board of esti
mate snd apportionment in the
hands of business men and not tbe
politicians. Extravagance and lax
methods with the city finances may
now be ourtailed.
In Pennsylvania the state republi
can tioket Is elected by about 150,000
majority and in Philadelphia Rotan
wins for District Attorney over Gib-
bony by over 40,000.
Richard E. Humbert has com
menced tbe erection of a large addi
tion to the Marguerite.
Miss Isabella F. Wright of New
York was a recent visitor In town.
' It does not look from the election
returns as it the tariff question had
seriously damaged republican pros
pects. Tbe democrat will have to
try some other tack if they wish, to
sail their craft into port.
Dr. J. C. Price was reeleoted Sen
ator in Sussex county.
Port Jervis made a pretty clean
sweep electing the entire republican
tioket. The board of aldermen will
stand six republicans and two demo
crats, and toree ot the fonr supervis
ors are republican.
Honesdale went republican by 88
majority for tbe head of the tioket
whlld Munson carried the town by 19.
Young man of 19 years wishes a
position as clerk. Address P. O.
box 882. Milford, Pa.
. There were nine prohibition votes
oast in the county and one socialist
In a general way the amendments
received about 100 votes in favor
and about ISO against. Hardly any
two amendments were treated the
same and tbe votes for and against
varied. Tbe seventh waa the worst
hit. -The
schedules were mostly lost
sight of, the voter becoming tired or
wearing out bia penoil before be
reached them.
A aad accident at Lake Mineola,
near Stroudsburg, happened last
week in which two young people
were drowned and a third only es
caped by a narrow chance. Albert
Kooher, Edith Franla and Annie
Sbupp were out riding and the
young man drove his horse to tbe
edge of the lake to water him. Tbe
horse became frightened and went
on out into deep water. Kocber and
Miss Frants were drowned but Miss
Sbupp clung to tbe wagon and wss
resoued when nearly dead with ex
haustion. The horse waa drowned. .
Football is now depopulating the
country and tbe death of a West
Point cadet last Saturday from an
Injury in a game baa led the author
ities there to call off the sport. A
student at the Medico Chi lu Phil
adelphia also died soon sfter a game
last Saturday.
Potatoes in Honesdale bring from
fifty to sixty cents a bushel.
Tbe book worm which troubles
southern darkies and is said to in
duce laziness will be squelched if
Rockefeller can do it with a million
dollars. It innsl trouble white folks
aa well, and if it does, a considerable
sum would be needed to eradicate
tbe peat in this section.

John Zimmerman, wbo owns a
fine location on the Delaware river
in Delaware township, has enclosed
considerable land with a high wire
fence and it is said Intends It for a
park. He is now planting a large
number of. trees to ornament bts
ground This is an excellent exam
ple. There are many aoresjn the
county which are now being colli
vated with no profit which would bo
far more valuable if planted with
trees.
Those printing the ballots for this
county kept the republican candidate
or State Treasurer Sober at all
events and it is well to vote for that
kind of man. His name however is
Stober.

But scribe tor tiia Press,
'Twas the opening night of tbe opera.
The heiress has just been arrayed
In her gorgeour gown of Irish point,
The last touches of her maid
Had been given. She viewed herself
In her mirror, then, said she.
With a smile "Hortense how do 1 look?'
"Oh much snperb my lady."
"Thank yon Hortense, now my fan,
I'm ready ; I hope the Count
Has not lont patience awaiting me."
"Of pazlence he has much amount
When he awaits 'tis plezare
He so loves yon I see."
Good night Hortenee do not wait np
Very long for me."
The orchestra had Just commenced
To play from "II Trovatore''
Whan the Count and Adelaide
- Entered the box door.
All eyes were turned upon thu pair,
Whispers suoh as: "Who is beT"1
'A fortune seeker." "TwtU be a match"
"She'll come to miry."
The Count was thinking of the bride
He was so sure to win,
Adelaide was thinking of some one
Who dare not enter in
Her life, lor he was humble, poor.
And felt so far away
From her affection?. Was he. rightf
None but Adelaide could say.
Love knows not rank nor pedigree.
It strikes just w here it will. '' .
And Lady Adelaide so proud.
Loved her handsome coachman, Phil.
Loved silently anil in the play
. . She admired the Troubadour,
Compared him to her own love, -"
And herself, to Lemore ' '
The curtain dropped, the lights, went op,
The count asked for her hand,
He told her she would make him -
The happiest man in all the land ;
"You're rather hasty, oount" said she
For a while I beg to wait
Such a serious matter takes
Some time to cointemplate.''
The angry count saM: "As yon will'',
He felt stung at her reply,
Her coldness and ind (Terence -
Against his indignity
Was too much and be bit his Hp,
He was in a silent rage;
Just then the curtain raised again,
Both looked intent upon the stag'
The play was ended, 'twas midnight.
The Count and Adelaide
Hastened out to their carriage.
- There was very little said
Excepting comments upon the play,
Both were in thinking mood,
And as they readied tbe mansion gat
Tbe Count spoke us he stood,
"Well, Adelaide, I hud a thought ' -'.
Tha't perhaps you eared for me .
But by yonrindiffereace to-night " '

You'll not offend; I once was poor
So you may speak freely
