NO 46.
THE RAMBLER's plCKIHeS.

Court convened in Newton, sus-
sex county, last Tuesday and now it
won't be long before the Wirtz
brothers viii know what the verdict
will be.
Pretty soon il will be necessary to
build high railing around every
fence and fence every lot where it
ends in an embankment TO keep Port
Jervis people from driving off.
Those two chaps who didn't like
the idea of boarding at the expense
Of Pike county taxpayers made
mistake in trying to leave in broad
Daylight and make their exit on the
main streets.
Tuesday afternoons shower came
pretty heavy.
So there were no entries for to-
morrow's boss race and the fun will
have to be postponed.
Now is about the usual time of
the year to build the railroad from
Matamoras to Dingmans, I think
the track Of the road near Cave
bank is covered with gravel, traffic
having been so light of late.
Tomorrow the Bluff House closes
after a most successful season.
1 saw the editor Of the Pass tax
ing ride in an auto the other day.
Be careful, the darned thing might
blow you to heaven before you are
ready.
Wednesday evenings fremen's
parade ct Port Jervis was witnessed
by quite a number of our boys. But
yesterday, why everybody went
that could there.
Laf. Brink will leave our borough
next week and take up his residence
in Port Jervis where he has secured
job.

Fashionable Fads

The newest bow is known as
''pnssy's whiskers." It is made of
some thin and stiff material and is
not so high in the centre of the back
as we're the choux worn earlier in
the season. This new bow sticks
out more at the sides, whence the
name.
The latest novelty in fashionable
buttons are those made of Sevres
porcelain, ivory or enamel, set in a
ring of rhinestones. Many of
these are decorated with flowers,
landscapes, figures. beetles and EN-
blems.
In applique dress trimmings the
newest thing is the designs consist
ing of punches of grapes and fruits.
These are worked out in black,
white and natural colors in both
silk and cotton.

present plan for settling the strike
was discussed which is briefly that
the men return to work without
signed agreement; that the operators
shall then by concessions seek to
adjust the differences; and if a settle
ment is not then reached the whole
matter to be referred to an arbitrator,
and if he decides unjustly the strike
may be renewed. 1t is said however
that ]. P. Morgan declined to act in

The Monroe oountv Fair

From appearances if some differ
ent directing is not done at the
Stroudsburg fair there will soon be
nothing there worth directing. The
exhibits at the last meeting were
very meagre and the only things
loudly in evidence were the fakirs
with their wheels of fortune and
various games of chance. Monroe
county should make an interesting
exhibition of farm products and
home manufactures but little inter
est seems to be taken by either
farmers, merchants or m8nufactur-
ers. The beer saloon on the grounds
attracted the most attention and
was a real show of itself.

OBITUARY
HAMILTON ABMsraoNa-


The sad intelligence reached here
last Monday morning that Hamilton
Armstrong had just been killed on
the railroad tracks at Howells, New
York, where he resided. He was
about to take a morning train TO
Otisville, where he had just been
employed as principal of the
public schools and in attempting to
board it was struck by the engine of
fast freight and instantly killed.
He was born in this town about
A years ago aud was a son of
Andrew and Mary Van Anken Arm
strong Receiving a liberal educa-
tion he taught in the public schools
for several years, read law and was
admitted to the bar, was
elected district attorney in 1887
and again in 1890, but gave up
practice for the more congenial pro-
fession of teaching and some eight
years ago removed to Orange county
where he has since been employed.
He was at one time a candidate for
county superintendent of schools
tor Pike but was defeated by mar
row margin. He was an efficient
instructor and many of his former
pupils here will recall his painstak-
ing efforts in their behalf. He first
married Jennie, daughter of Mrs.
Kate Fuller, who died leaving one
son, John. His second wife was
Miss Addie Longcor, who with three
children survives him. He is also
survived by two half brothers, An
drew A. of this borough and James
Barton of Matamoras. The remains
we're brought to this place and the
funeral services conducted by the
Rev. G. E. Seudder, assisted by
Rev. Pfeiffer of the Howells Con-
gregational church, were held We'd
nesday and interment in Milford
cemetery.

Scarcity Of Teachers

County superintendent of Schools
Lucian Westbrook says the teachers
are growing scarce in Pike. The
law now requires that algebra and
civil government be taught and as
these two branches have not been
heretofore required, applicants for
schools we're unprepared to tako ex-
aminations. He estimates the num-
Der of those taking examinations
this year as 40 per cent. less than
last year Possibly the low wages
paid in several townships may also
prove unattraotive to ambitious
young men and women.

The Renewal a Strain

Vacation is over. Again the
school bell rings at morning and at
noon. again with tens of thousands
the hardest kind of work has begun,
the renewal of which is a mental
and physical strain to all except the
most rugged. The little girl that a
few days ago had roses in her
cheeks, and the little boy whose
lips we're then so red you would
have insisted that they had been
"kissed by strawberries, " have al
ready lost something of the appear
ance of health. Now is the time
when many children should be Civ
en- a tonic, which may avert much
serious trouble, and we know of no
other so highly TO be recommended
as Hoods SQrsaparilla, which
strengthens the nerves, perfects di.
gestion and assimilation, and aids
mental development by building up
the whole system.
