He has since heen on the ram page and calls those who were in strumental in his downfall by harsh names. He dons not strengtnan him self before the ountry by this bellig erent attitude. Hen at or Penrose last Sunday dem onstrated the power of the boss in politics when he came up to Philndel phirt and took a strangle hold on the transit company and choked it into suhmis-iloii. He delated what it should do in regard to the stiike and despite all remonstrance by the offic cesoflhe compHiiy he was firm and forced accession' to the demands of tile strikers. He probably saw what effect a continuance would have on p.ilitid in the future. Morgan and Wheeler sold a num ber of horses at Branchville last Sat Uidny at very satisfactory prices Morgan cant near being killed on his way home by stepping lrom a train into the way of a fast freight He esciped with quneserious bruises. Dr. W. H. Kenworthey Is exnecled home from the South in about ten days. Talk a bout high prices. At a pub lio sale in Mouroe county rve brot f 1 a bushel and chickens 93 cents each. At another sale two brood bows brought flOti and shoals fl7 eacb. while chickens sold at an aver age of 93 cents. It is predicted that there will be a general exodus of city people to farms in the near mtnre, and that such real estate will greatly appreciate in value. The high .prices of all farm producls aud the practical certainty that they will ou the average te tnaintuined in future will induce men with capital to Invest where their money will be safer than in ' watered stocks and fluctnatiug bonds. More intensive faruilog will make hotter crons at less cost and that is ; tie r ! what farming will come to. j Tun election in Massachusetts where a republican majority was re versed by many thousand votes wonld not from a party standpoint seem encouraging.

John A Kippof N. Y. at tended the ses.iiou of cour? here this week. Honesdwle pipers intimate that Hon Leopold Fenith and ex Senator Hill of SVayne county are likely to be candidates to succeed Hon.

It Is urged by the fiienilH of Hill that he was deprived of part of his term by the change iu the district and that he Is therefore entitled by custom to am ther four years, How Senator Rowland, may regard this we are not informed. He was it Strou'lsburg last week but it may have been for other purioses than fix ing fences. 1'ittslmrg is having lively tin.es.

His wife and three! children, Frank, Harry and Mrs.' George W. Gibtorr survive him. The remains were interred in 8 wart wood Aciuetery this county r Mrs. Heed, mother of Dr. H. B. Reed, has been quite ill for several days. The Griffin. Gil , Herald says ' muile even if you don't mean it. Is this sunshine philosophy or a pro Libit ion state tip. If Ex Secretary Garfield makes an insurgent speech in Ohio, and Uifford Piochot meets Roonevel in Naples about the same date it might seem as if the back from Elba movement had commenced at both ends of the line. Overhead sheds or awnings in Port J rvis have all rome down. The city started the fight to remove them a couple of years ago as being unsight ly, dangerous and nninnu'es gener ally, and after the question went thru all the courts, the city won. It Is said that tbnapearanceof the streets and buildings has been much im proved by the removal. All progress in the way of beautifying a town will have opponents, why we cannot understand, because it is to the inter Mt of every property owner to do all in bis power to improve the at traction of the place. Kvery such ttdvauw makes property uioie valu able and kaleibleand the man who yet in live uay and persists in re waining there u only iufiietiug an Injury ou himself. Hev.

Clifford Pinchot sailed for Europe this week week, ostensibly to visit his sister, Mrs. Alan Johnston, but it is reported In fact to meet ex President Koosevelt and talk over with him the situation here. A. H. J. Wallace and wife and Mrs. Gilbert, of Stroudburg, wife of the proprietor of the silk mill at that place and Mrs X. P Muddy of East Orange were guests Tuesday with the family of J II. Van Etlen. I W. H. Hulsizer D. U. G. M. of i Honesdale paid a fraternal , MWford Lodge the first of the week. He expres-ed himself as much pleased with the productive new Lodge room and congratulated the brethren on the possession of such an a'tractive place for meeting. The town council at a meeting held Tuesday evening agreed toservel Roll the meadows and green fields. Beware of planting sprouted potato seed. Plant the garden when the cherry blooms. It. is scabby business to plant scab. by potatoes. Few farmers harrow quite enough. Harrow, barrow, harrow. He wdio by the plow wonld thrive must straighten np and look alive. Dogs can thrive on bones better than a woman can on unkind words. Keep manure near the surface; plow it (Jeep and you lose fcome of it. Don't plow the ground too wet; get it just right, ana men rusn things. Seek only that which is honorable that thon in thy poverty shouldst lie rich. Don't forget to make two sowings of clover, and be sure to use one-half alsike. Those who charge farmers with the responsibility for ibe high cost of living tell a fib. Do not rush the teams too bard let them bave time to get their shoulders hardened to the work. The farmer who allowed his imple ments to be sheltered by the aky during the winter will now find him self out. When a man insists upon giving yon advice, you can readily get rid of him by offering him a little in re turn. If there is no plaoe In the shed for tbe grindstone, get a box at the store that will fit nver it, thus keeping it covered from tbe weather. Do yon remember, when yon were young, how it encouraged and cheer ed yon to be consulted by your eld ers 1 Try it on the young folks of tbe household. Everybody ia impatient to begin the spring work, but it were wise to temper impatience with good judg. ment and to wait until all the coodi tious are right. When you get tbe annual spring- cleaning fever, dont' cnt down or dig np all tbe nice little trees. Let every one stand that isn't in the way. Tbe trees will come bandy twenty yeais benoe. When yon want to do a good job of boeing or weed cntting this spring, put an edge upon the -hoe. How much better tbe tool will work, and tbe operator aa well I We despise dull hoe, and do not own Abe. Just as nearly as yon oau, grow all tbe stuff yon will need for your fain ily and your stock right at borne this year. One thing that keeps a good many men poor is buying what they ought to raise themselves.

Tbe For several days there were mo mentous proceedings In ihe town Housd of Congress in Washington To explain the political situation and the parlimentary processes with all that led np to them and with the re suits they have foreshadowed wculd require more than the space of this letter. Suffice it to say that tho com hination of Democrats and insurgent Republicans that have long bwn an- tigonistic to the rule of Speaker Che and the regulars, as bis Republican supporters are called, bave success fully combined to form a majority in the House of Representatives. This majority demanded tlira Congress man Norrls of Nebraska a new com. in I' tee of rules coasisting of fifteen members, with "Hamlet" left out. In other words. Speaker Cannon, tbe autocrat, the czir, the "whole thing" the Hamlet in the play ol Congressional proceedure, was over thrown. The Insurgents and Demr. crats had a majority and were deter mined to reap all there is in this ad vantage. It la difficult to foretell the important political bearings of this crisis In the House. The Pres ident, it is said, is more than ever an xious with reference to his policies, or the Roosevelt policies, as they are still culled. Early in his administra tion he aligned himself whh the reg ularsand instead of opposing Speak- er Cannon as did his predecessor, he announced, and has since emphasized bis preference for what is still called the "regular" organization. In other words, be has stood by Cannon, P.iyne, Dalzell, Tawny and others in the House, and by Aldr.ch, Haie, Lodge and the eastern clique of Sen a tors. His attitude has more or less estranged the Cummins, Dolliver, La Follette. Beveridge and other not less distinguished and militant group of Senators from the west and north west.. The President has not the n niversal and widespread popularity of bis predecessor. There are mil either country will be benefited by it. It will enure only to the benefit of Germany, Enpuinil, France and oth er Enrrpean countries Germany and Oaent Britain especially are elat- el at the prospect of the impend ing tariff law, and German and Brit isli commercial travellers are al ready on their way to Canada with impressive advertising circulars and samples. NOTES FROM SANDYSTON Montague B. of E is strictly up to date in enforcing attendance at school This is all right, bnt when person al ill feeling ia allowed to control what the law prescribes then the law is a farce. Born to Walter McCracken and wife at Dingmans on the 17inst. a fine baby daughter- We extend congratulations. Speaking of the recent election of rrembirs of our 15 of E. it is sate to say that so far as I can learn not a member of any B. of E. in this val ley has visited their school in five years Better to have only one mem ber for one is doing the control. There was a good deal of talk among the farmers about signing Bordens contract, for milk, but when the day came fur signing the milk men signed for the next 6 months.

In fact, it his been held n(f for lack of a -quorum. The House members were all required on the floor by the raspec. live tactions, and therefore the Bui-linger-Pinchot investigation baa been temporarily adjourned. It seems from an announcement in the President's speech at Rochester, N. Y. that a complete agreement ban betu reached with France on all tar ¬ iff differences, and he Is expected to gn a proclamation today at Albany giving to France the 26 reduction of rates provided iu the tariff law of the extra session. It is stated al so that notwithstanding the fact tbat the situatiun appears to be hopeless, there is still some pros pectofan undertaking with the Ca nadian authorities by which a tariff war may be averted.

Nobody wants to have the nation al game, baseball, go down an i out and it will not, but thd pace being set was too ambitious, and the sport too expensive for smaller towns to 0 miete. To an extent base ball lust, its character of being sport, it became a gamble with wealthy back era and managers of oiuba. It is re fined into an exaot science whioh costs a heap of money to maintain, j A middle ground must be established j and home talont cultivated, at some compensation for those whoara prom islng and are willing to practice, '"and to do this the town should nnite in eintributing.
