18TH ANNIVERSARY
OF the Honesdale Methodist Episco-
pal Church.

The main auditorium of the Cen
trail Methodist church was filled to
overf1owing on Sunday evening last,
the Presbyterian, Baptist and Epis-
copal churches holding no services,
but joined with the Methodist con-
gregation in celebrating their dia-
mond anniversary. The pastors of
these churches united with the Rev.
Mr.. Hitler in conducting the ami
versary exercises. The Methodist
choir reinforced by a number of well
trained voices and assisted by violin
and cornet, rendered most excellent
music. The pastor, Rev. w. H. Hill
Ter, acted as master of ceremonies,
and introduced the speakers in his
pleasant feliculous manner. After
prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Oliver, the
Rev. A. L. Whitaker of the Episco-
pal church spoke very eloquently
upon the Life and Services of John
Wesley" Rev. Geo. Wendell of
the Baptist church took for his sub
ject "The Message" and in a very
pleasant felicibous manner. After
pei invitation of Come unto me all
ye who are weary and heavily
laden" Rev. DR.. Swift of the
Presbyterian church, was introduc-
ed and although the hour was 8
o'clock the audience without a single
exception remained to listen to his
address on the "Fraternal Tie
which was intensely interesting and
held the close attention of the audi
ence who heartily Joined in singing
the closing hymn BLESSED Be the
Tie That Binds our Hearts in
Christian Love-" after which the
benediction closed the services.

Their False Tactics.

What Democratic paper won't
do to try to deceive the people must
be something the devil never thought
of. Some of them have been an
nouncing that a great number of ves-
sells ran for dear life to get into port
before the new tariff went into eff
feet trying to create the impression,
you see, that the tariff had been
raised to the hurt of the common
fellow. Now IL these vessels were
loaded with fine wares, silks and
twenty-five cent cigars, then they
had come to hurry into port before
the new law took effect, because the
duty on such luxuries has been in
creased. But if any of these ves-
sells were loaded with iron ore, steel
rails, cotton ties, wood pulp, leather
or agricultural implements they
would not have raced to get into
port before the law took effect, as
the duty on these articles is lower
than under the Dingley law. Other
Democratic papers claim that the
new tariff has caused the advance OF
wooden goods. That is not the case
as the duty on woolens is lower now
than under the Dingley act.

We owe it to the community in
which we live to do everything we
can in every way possible that will
be to it's advantage. Our neighbor's
prosperity means great deal more
to us than someone's who lives else
where. We should bear this In
mind in buying our goods. We can
afford to pay our home man firm
price for his wares rather than send
our money away, knowing as we do
that every dollar our own citizen
makes will help in sustaining our
schools, churches, and public insti-
tutions. 1t pays richly to patronize
home industry.

Broke Jail at Tunkhannock.

Burt Smith, the man who was put
into the Wyoming county jail at
Tunkhannock one day last week,
has made good his escape. Sheriff
Doty was away the day that Smith
got his liberty, but he was allowed
to carry the bedding from the cells
out into the Jail yard, which is sur
rounded by a high wall of masonry.
He was not closely watched, as it
was not thought that he could pos
sibly escape. He took the iron
frames which serve as hunks in the
cell, and tying them together, end
to end, with strips of bed blanket,
he constructed ladder and easily
went over the wall.

There are times when the average
man has the blues and then he
wants to talk of epitaphs and dead
mems bones and to sleep in char
mel house and to ride in a hearse
instead of a street car. With some
men the affliction known as the
blues is constitutional, holding sway
at regular intervals, while others
are merely depressed by existing
circumstances. Some are born with
the blues, some achieve the blues
and others have the blues thrust upon
them. The man who is naturally
despondent is more to be pitied than
the man who has inflamatory rheu-
matism. Though the sun may be
shining and the breeze murmuring,
and the whole earth rejoicing, he is
still bowed by the weight of the
blues. He doesn't know why it is
so and he doesn't care much. His
highest ambition is to contemplate
suicide, and sometimes to practice
it. People tell him that it is foolish
to be so morbidly sorrowful, and
they are doubtless right, but he
can't help it and so he goes along
blue because he has to live, and af-
ter a while blue because he has to
die.

In regard to our schools, parents

In regard to our schools, parents
have duties to perform, which they
can i'll afford to neglect. They
should show to their children that
they have an interest in the school.
They should examine carefully the
reports sent by the teacher, should
see that their children are in school
every day, and punctual; should as
sist and encourage their children to
do all their school duties faithfully
and well; should cooperate with the
teacher in securing the prompt re-
turn of their children home after
school is dismissed; should make a
friendly visit to the school, and talk
freely with the teacher and principal
in regard to same.

Good Move For City or Town.

The establishment of what is un-
disguisedly public trade school by
the board of education of this place
will mark the opening of new era
in our educational system, the pos
sibilities of which are not easily
forecast, says the New York Trib-
une. The trade school, giving in
struction in various branches of ar
tisanship is not new, though it is
not so familiar here as in some other
countries, and it is highly COM
mendable thing. The novelty is the
opening of such school as part
of the free public school system of
city and state.

Take your Joy with you or you'll
not find 1t even in Heaven.

Encourage every home enterprise.
Take an interest in every industry,
invest literally in the stock of faith
and good will, and distribute it all
over your city, in every factory,
every work shop, every business
house. 1t will pay you large divid-
ends, and will cost very little. 1t
can never depreciate in value. 1t
will always be above par. Buy
home made goods. Ask your mer-
chants for them. Wear home made
garments, eat home made articles
of food, sleep on home made beds,
read home made newspapers. In
this way the money you spend is
only loaned. 1t will come back to
you again with interest. Praise up
your city-don't run it down.
Stand by your merchants and manu-
facturers-they are the bone and
sinew of your municipal structure.
Stand by your churches and your
schools-they are the hopes of your
future. Stand by your press-it is
the tireless sentinel that guards
your interest.

1t Is all very well, when you have
nothing to do but kill time, to talk
about keeping the boys on the farm,
but you might as we'll spend your
time splitting at a crack. Boys will
stay on farm as well as anywhere,
if they receive decent treatment at
home. The boy who is yanked out
of bed by the hair, kicked out to
milk and cuffed in to breakfast, as
a preliminary to being popped
through in the field all day. is not
likely to be consumed by his love
for the glories of agriculture-nor
for his sire. Give the boy a fair
show, and he'll stay with you till
the cows come home. If you are so
mean that he can't stay at home, don't
you go to your neighbors with a
hypocritical snuffie and tell about
your boys ingratitude after you
have raised him.

NOTE THE DIFFERENCE.
Every State in the Union Controlled
By Democrats is Heavily in Debt.

\ Pennsylvania under Republican
administration, is the only state in
the Union which collects no state
taxes upon real estate, horses, sheep,
cattle, farm implements, or other
personal property of any kind, save
only money at interest. Deriving
most of her state revenues from the
taxation of corporations, she pays
therefrom about $23,OO0,00O per
annum for schools, roads, charities
and other objects, in reduction of To-
cal taxation and expense. Notwith-
standing such payments, she has a
net debt of less than $4,000 over
and above cash in the sinking fund
held for its redemption, and at the
close of business, June IA, 1909, had
cash in the general fund to the
amount of $8,395,472.25. Payments
thus far made into the state treas
ury indicate that receipts for the
current year will be the largest in
the history of the Commonwealth.

ERIE SURPLUS So, 200.
Annual Report Shows Growth in
Net Earnings.

The report of the Erie Railroad
Company for the year ended June
30th last, made public recently,
shows a decrease in the ratio of
operating expenses to operating rev.
enues of almost 10 per cent. The
total earnings of the company were
not greatly in excess of the record
made in 1908, but the expenses of
operation were materially less. The
road is left with surplus of $2,-
$1,000, as against deficit of $2,-
10000 in 1908.
The gross earnings of the COM
pany aggregated $50,441, 900, of
which $2,926,OO0 was from business
other than rail operations. The
relative figures for 1908, were $49,-
$4,000, with the rail operations
amounting to $46,756,00O. The
increase in proceeds of rail opera
tion was $768,0OO. The other busi-
ness of the company was conducted
somewhat less profitably than a
year ago.
Both the merchandise and freight
tonnage fell off, but the average
length of haul increased sufficiently
more than to counteract the loss in
volume. Coal tonnage was 51.36
per cent. of the total tonnage trans
ported. The total revenue derived
from transportation about 32,000,-
600 tons of freight was $35, 5,138,0O0.
Proceeds from passenger traffic fell
from $9,489,O0O in 1908 to $8,-
$4,000 in 1909. Long haul pas
senger traffic was materially de-
| creased.
Total operating expenses, includ-
ing taxes, were $36,904,00O, as COM
pared with $41,O31, 900 in 1908, a
decrease of $4,127,000, partly ac-
counted for in large decreases in the
cost of maintaining way, structure
and equipment. Taxes increased
by $257,O0O.
Net earnings from operation were
$13 $4,000, as compared with $8,-
$4,000 in 1908. Deduction of in
terest, rent and other charges left
$2,565,719, equal to 6.15 per cent.
earned on the first preferred stock.

New State Road to Wayne County.

The Scranton Truth says that Su-
perintendent Joseph w. Hunter, of
the state highway department, is au-
thority for the statement that as
soon as petition is received for a
state highway from Scranton to
Gouldsboro over the Poconos, inn
mediate action will be taken.
This statement was made as the
result of query relative to the re-
cent criticism directed at the depart
ment by G. D. Simpson.
Mr.. Hunter asserts that he made
this promise to department of
Scranton men, who were anxious for
the work to start, but he added any
action was impossible until a petit
tion was received.

Government Brings Suit for 80 Cents

Government Brings suit for 80 Cents
Washington, Oct. 80. -"Uncle
Sam" does not overlook the pennies,
although it may cost him dollars to
collect them. A complaint has been
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission involving reparation to
the United States in the sum of fifty
cents. The typewriting of the COM
plant cost the government more
than the amount of the reparation
demanded.
The complaint was that of the
United States of America against the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
company and the New England Nav
igation company, on account OF an
alleged overcharge of passenger fare
from Philadelphia to Newport, R. l.,
and return. The regular rate for the
round trip, according to published
tariffs, is $3.50. The fare collected
was SO.
The government through w. p.
Potter, acting secretary of the navy,
demands a refund of SO cents, and
the chances are that it will get it.

Shameful Neglect of Soldiers Graves

The terrible disaster on the Erie
Railroad, at King and Fuller's Cut,
July Is, 1864, is we'll known his
tory. A train loaded with Confed-
crate soldiers bound for the prison
at Elmira, met freight train in the
curve and the loss of life was ap-
palling. The accident occurred near
the residence of John Vogt, who at
the time was employed as a track
walker on the Erie. He was some
distance away when he heard the
crash, but quickly arrived on the
scene and assisted in the work of
rescue. His own home was stripped
of everything that could be made
into bandages for the injured and
blankets and bedding and clothing
were also utilized. AS many as
twenty-five bodies were laid in his
yard until the following morning
when they were buried in a trench
by the Delaware River. Mr.. Vogt
continued to live in this house until
about two years ago, when after the
death of his wife, he made his home
with his son, John Vogt, proprietor
of the German Hotel at Shohola. If
he lives two months longer, he will
be Sc years old and he gives prom
Use of a considerable span of life
yet, for even at his advanced age, he
is hale and hearty. One day recent
ly Erie Captain w. B. Glass, Detec-
tive Frank Kelley and a newspaper
representative called on Mr.. Vogt
and to them he related his recollec-
tions of that terrible scene, the man
ner in which his home was convert
ed into a temporary morgue, the
burial of the dead and the use of the
Shohola station for a hospital,
where some of the injured died.
Some two or three years ago, he was
approached by government repre-
sentatives, who wanted to buy the
right of way to the spot but their Of
fer was only few dollars which
he could not accept.
1t is the opinion of some people
that the graves have been washed
away by high water in the Delaware
and no less an authority than Ed
ward H. Mott, the author of the
Between the Ocean and the Lakes
or the Story of the Erie" holds to
that view, for that is what he states
in the concluding sentences of his
account of that wreck. But Mr.. Vogt
informed his visitors that the bod
les are still there and the ground is
covered with brush and blackberry
vines. He offered to convey the
party to the scene but they did not
feel like having him walk a mile
and half in the strong cold wind
that was blowing. But another
citizen of Shohola was found, who
conveyed the party to the exact spot
under the last high knoll before the
ground slopes to the river. There
were stakes at the ends of the
trench and the trench bore evidence
of recent cutting. This was done by
Valentine Hipsman, veteran, who
lost an arm in the war, and now
lives in Shohola.
1t is to be regretted that the rest
ing place of so many soldiers of the
north and soldiers of the south has
been so forgotten all these years.
Soon the men who lived at the time
of the accident will have passed
away and with nothing authentic,
the exact location will become a mat
ter of tradition. Here is an oppor-
tunity for some patriotic work. Let
there be some suitable monument
erected over the graves of the un-
known heroes, who gave their lives
