BUFFALO BILLS BOOK.

l z
 In True Tales of the Plains" pub lished by the Empire Book Co, Buff falo Bill, striking figure in Ameri- can life has told the story of his career and of many wonderful events of the great west. This book has double value, for historical reasons and because of its own ab- sorbing interest. Truth, as we all know, is often stranger than fiction, and the adventures of Buffalo Bill surpass the efforts of the romancer.
 The great scout, although his ex- citing career began over a half cen tury ago, tells his story simply. He was only eleven years age when he killed his first Indian, chief, as his head dress showed, although the re- doubtable youngster never knew his name.
 William F. Cody, the famous Buff falo Bill, was born in Iowa, but when he was eight years old his parents moved to Kansas, then the undis- puted territory of the Indian and the buffalo. Here his father became in volved in the famous border war over slavery, and his little son saw him receive stab wound in the side, of which he died in the following spring. William, before he was eleven, undertook to help support his widowed mother and young brothers and sisters. His first em- ployment was with firm of over land freighters, and the very first trip he made with them they were attacked by Indians west of Fort Kearney. Little Master Cody carried a short. heavy rife, loaded with a slug and two buckshot, and he fired with such good aim that he brought chief from his saddle, stone dead. This happened in 1857, and for more than a generation thereafter he was in the thick of nearly all the Indian wars that ragged in the west.
 MT Cody gained his title of Buffalo Bill in competition with Billy Com stock, noted scout, guide and inter- preter. They engaged, for a large wager, in a buffalo killing match, llDilCu IO ohV uds otE Ctbht houto. Mir Cody killed 69 to Comstock's 46, and has been known ever since as Buffalo Bill The buffaloes were slain for food, and not for wanton sport.
 His chapters throng with great events. There is a thrilling descrip- tion of Clusters last fight and of the famous defense of General Forsyth, who. with only fifty plainsmen. on a sandy little island in the Arickarec river. beat of Roman Nose and a thousand Sioux and Cheyenne war riors. The annals of warfare con- tain no more desperate and heroic defense than this.
 Many other famous border battles are recounted by Buffalo Bill, and, besides Custer and Forsyth. were West, Sheridan. Miles. Thomas and other distinguished soldiers. The book contains also descriptions of life on the plains. and of its effect upon the people who dwelt in what were then dangerous wastes.
 True Tales of the Plains" is more than an autobiography. It is historical document, an account of a great and important phase in Amer ican life, now gone. The book is H. lustrated copiously and well with 1S excellent half-tones, fuli-page illus trations and 94 in the text. It is the best reading we have seen in a long time; 1t Is action, action and again action.

REV. HIRAM BINCHAM'S
GILBERTESE LEXICON

We have just had the great pleasure
of examining the manuscript copy for
a dictionary of the Gilbertese language,
prepared by Rev. DR.. Hiram Bingham,
a work to which DR.. Bingham has de-
voted much time of late. the task hav-
ing been completed in October last. DR..
Bingham is now the second veteran
missionary on the rolls of the American
Board, having been in the service fifty
one years, and being now seventy
seven years of age. His translation of
the whole Bible into the Gilbertese lam
guage was completed in 1890, and this
great work of his has already passed
through seven editions and prepara-
tions are making for still another edi-
ton. In the translation of the Old
Testament aid was rendered by a Gil
bert islander, Moses Kaure, from 1856
1890 A year ago last July Mr.. Kaure
came to Honolulu to aid DR.. Bingham
in the preparation of the Gilbertese
dictionary. and after fourteen and a
half months of labor he has returned
to his home in the Gilbert Islands.
DR.. Bingham, who has already is
sued a commentary on the four Cos
pels, has also prepared one on the
Acts of the Apostles, and now regards
his literary work for the Gilbertese
as probably ended, though if life and
strength were granted him he would
gladly return to the Gilbert Islands
to give also the remainder of his life
10 his beloved people there. Few men
have had the opportunity and the
ability mentally and physically, to-
gether with scholarship sufficient for
the task, to reduce a language to
writing and translate into that Ian
guage the whole Bible, to prepare
commentaries on many of its books,
and at last to produce a dictionary
which shall give it a clear place
among the written languages of the
world Heartiest CONGRATULATIONS are
extended to DR.. Bingham on the ac-
complishment of this great work. 1t
is also a very great pleasure TO report
that the son of Dr. Bingham, Hiram
Bingham Jr., who is connected with
Yale University as a lecturer, out of
Rlial love and with a desire to utilize
the scholarly work of his father, has
to finance the publication
of the dictionary, which will be put
through the press at once, probably
through the house of Longmans. Green
& Company. of London and New York.

Our Banks.

The people OF Wayne county have
,eason to be proud of their banks. A
perusal If the statements of the four
banks located in Honesdale show con-
dition that is very encouraging to stock
holders and depositors.
The two older banks show constant
increase in their surplus accounts, while
the two younger institutions improve
ment in resources is remarkable. The
management of all four are to be COM
mended for the careful and economical
administration of their affairs, and it is
to be regretted that Honesdale has not
better railroad service in order that
those residing in the lower, upper and
eastern portions of the county could
avail themselves of our excellent bank
ing facilities, instead of being compell-
ed to patronize banks in other counties
of our State, and in many instances in
New York State.

THE coming session of the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature is to be a short and
business like affair, if the present plans
of the leaders are not changed. 1t ispro-
posedto fix the date OF final adjournment
by joint resolution at the opening of
the session and to get the committees to
work early, so as not to delay the consid-
Grafton OF important measures on the
floor of the Senate and House. There is
some talk of fixing the adjournment
date in April, though it is doubtful
whether the work could be put through
by that time. The last Legislature ad-
journed May is, and that is considered
to be about as early as it is possible to
wind up the business of the session.
Although the Senate and House meet for
organization the first Monday of January,
preliminaries usually the tran
saction of much business before the first
week in February. Adjournment by the
middle of May thus gives only three
months and half for actual work.

The New Post Office Order.

A general order of the President put
ting nearly all of the fourth class post
masters under civil service may be very
gratifying to some incumbents, but to
others it will not mean much. As a
matter of fact the free rural delivery of
mails has extended so far and central
lied the business of the offices so much
that the average iourth-class postmaster
has a job that there is little, il anything
in. Add to the requirements OF holding
such an appointment the necessity of
passing civil service examination to
secure it and the foarth class post Office
will become something that certain peo-
pie won't be bothered with and Others
won't have the intellectual attainments
TO secure. The only offices in Wayne
county not subject to the order are
llonesdale, which is second-class, and
Hawley, which is third-class office.

THE States fiscal year closed last
week, and for the first time the State re-
ceived all of the interest on its deposits
before the close of the year. The amount
collected was $247, ,4S9.53, of which $685.
29S.4S was on general fund and $49,
19l.05 on sinking fund. State Treasurer
Sheath was greatly gratifed at the re-
cord. The total is some $24 900 less
than last year, but that was because the
State did not have as large balances as
in that period inconsequence of the heavy
expenditures it was forced to make.

State Pension Bill for Veterans.

The state pension bill is to be brought
up in the next legislature, with substan-
TALLY the same provisions as the one We
toed by governor Stuart at the last ses-
sion, which in effect, provided ior ST. a
month for all Pennsylvanans who enlis-
ted and served ninety days in the Civil
war.
The number Of men entitled to pen
sion is estimated a! &c, 900. That would
call for ST, 600, 900 for the two wears coy
cred by each appropriation, but it i, lot
at all likely that every old soldier would
make applications; so the amount of -,
800, coo is regarded rs enough for two
years.
The new bill provides ior pension
commissioner at Il Salary OF s., ,0O0a year;
pension board of three N s., 800 each;
and Il force o. clerks.
The &. \. X. of the state has selected
W. ;. Rcyburn, OF the House, Il son OF
Mayor Reyburn, of Philadelphia, and
Senator L. F, Bewitt to champion the
bill in their respective branches.
The last bill was vetoed by the governor
on the grounds that no provision was
made to get the money required for this
additionto the state expenditures.
