Honesdale people are promised rare
intellectual treat on Thursday evening"
April 18th, when Miss Stella Seymour,
of Scranton, will repeat in Lyric Hall,
under the auspicesof the Woman s Aux
iliary of Grace Church, her intensely in
teresting lecture on Venice. Miss Sey-
mour since her return from Italy has
given this lecture in various cities, among
them Binghamton, and of her appear
ance there the Binghamton Republican
says:
Zone OF the most finished and scholarly
lectures ever given in the Monday After
noon club house was that of Miss Stella
Seymour, of Scranton, who spoke upon
the Subject of Venice yesterday after
noon. Miss Seymour came under the di-
rection of the art department of which
Mrs. Henry Oliver Ely is chairman.
Graceful phraseology, high order of
humor and deep reverence for the
highest in art on the part of the speaker,
were notable features of the address.
Miss Seymour dwelt chiefly upon St.
Marks Cathedral and the palace of the
Doges, pointing out the perfection and
the faults of sculptural and mosaic dec
orations. Columns, capitals and arches
were shown in full and in detail by
means of stereopticon views. Titan,
Bellini and Canpaccio were illustrated by
reproduction of the paintings. The AS,
sumption, Madonna Enthroned,
The Temptation of Eve,' st. Georg
and the Dragon Referring to the pal
ace of the Doges, Miss Seymour said:
NO where in the world has union of
diverse ideas resulted in such marvellous
beauty. The Arabs inspired the broad,
unornamented surface of the Doges' pal
ace; the Greeks furnished the shafts and
capitals the Goths cut those matchless
pointed arches with their quatre-foil leaf
age; the Byzantine gave the round arches
and splendor of tints of st. Marks; Da-
mascus gave the shaft of the piazetta;
the native Nenetians cut the ornamental
tions to be found from the Doges' pal
ace to the water line of the most ruinous
old warehouse in all Venice, while Rome
did the best she could for the city by
keeping herself and her influence out of
it. Modern life is fast encroaching. A
new campanile will soon rear its ugly
copying into the sky, but we can turn
our backs upon it and take Joy to our
hearts that we have something left of
the truth, purity and beauty of early
art
The charge for admission to Miss Sey-
mour's lecture will be so cents. AS no
seats will be reserved, purchasers OF
tickets will do well to be at the theatre
in time to make satisfactory selections of
seats.

A Poor Woman-"I read your advice
to other unfortunates like myself, and
want you to help me, too. have been
married long time and have not lived
happy. My husband thought had
little money. For the last year he has
treated me terrible. OF course l know
that could get divorce from him, but
that would make too much scandal. All
the people like me. He comes home late
every night, and sometimes l don't see
him for two or three nights, and have
to stay up for him, or he would knock
down the door, and people would think
we were crazy. have to keep awake
to open up. He goes with group of
girls from the hill, and he gets letters
from them and hides them under the
carpet, and when 1 sweep find them
and read them, and then put them back.
You say "sweeten his coffee" 1 do; /;
because he is too lazy, and warm his
socks because he is too lazy, and would
go wet. Please write to me because am
a subscriber for your paper and like it
too. Next week or next month l come
up and pay you. Please do not be afraid
to write anything, because my husband
won't read it; he never reads the papers
he is too busy with girls letters.
thank you for the consolation you may
give me-"
Answer You say your husband has
treated you "terrible" since he found
out that you were short of the "little
money" with which you were credited
A pretty good way to get even with him
for this discourtesy will be to hit him 6
pretty lively whack on the head with s
rolling pin. If the people "all like you, ,
as you say they do, most of them will
, say "Hurray ~
When your husband knocks dow1
the front door, take the axe and smasl
the cellar stairs then, when he goe
down for his night-cap, he will probabl.
; tumble to your way of doing things.
There is only one suggestiorDas to you
complaint that you come across his cor
respondence with girls, under the carpet
; when you sweep, to save your peace o
9 mind, and that is, "Don't sweep"

MARCH l5th.-The ice harvest at this
place has been extra good this past
winter, and if the weather remains cold
there is prospect of much more work
as there are large orders to be filled.
The men are now working at Summit
Lake at Poyntelle, many working nights
and some on Sunday, which we are
sorry to see-as there is really nothing
gained by any thing of that kind. If the
law was properly enforced there would
be an end to any thing of the kind. Be-
cause this rural district is no reason
why the people should be allowed to
desecrate the Sabbath. A company that
cannot find time enough in six days to
harvest ice, may need the article more
in the world to come than they do in
this.
The box social and entertainment,
held last Friday night by the members
of the Epworth League and their friends,
was decided success. The committee
in charge deserve great credit. The pro-
ceeds amounted to about $40, which was
applied on the pastors salary.
Mrs. A. f. Hne made business trip
to Honesdale last week.
Mrs. Eugene Hall and little daughter,
Gertrude, of Ariel, have returned to
their home after visit with relatives
here.
l. w. Hine is quite ill at his home.
George Ludwig, wife and children, of
Carbondale, will spend several days
with relatives at this place the coming
week.
Rev o. G. Russell will preach his
farewell sermon next Sunday morning
at 1O:45, prior to attending conference,
which will be held at Plymouth.
A social will be held at South Preston
on Friday night next. Proceeds for the
benefit of the church fund.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Hall are spending
a few days at Edwardsville, with their
daughter, Mrs. H. A. Evans.
Henry Sheldon has been made super
intendent of the Ice Company at this
place, after many years of efficient work
for the company, We are sure they will
lind him a good man in the right place.

CITIZENS S MILE RACE
How to Train.

For all who may contemplate entering
this race, the following suggestions
are important:
Long walks and slow jogging should
always be given course of training for
distant running. Whenever a difficulty
in breathing is felt, the athlete should
walk until his powers of respiration have
recovered. He should never sit or stand
around uncovered, but as soon as his
work is done, cover up warmly until an
opportunity to be rubbed down is given
him, and then dry, warm clothes should
follow.
While running, the athlete should stop
just as soon as he feels a pain in his side,
or the front part of his lower leg be-
comes sore.
The diet should be simple, sleep abun-
dant. Omit tobacco, all alcoholic liquors,
tea, coffee, pickles, pastry, dumplings
and the like.
The time to start to prepare for the
run is now. Do not wait, but pitch in
and get the winters stiffness out of the
muscles.
Further advice will be given from time
to time within the next few weeks.
For additional information watch the
columns of this paper. IN few days
detailed announcement of the necessary
steps to enter will be made. In the
meantime those desiring to enter can do
SO by communicating with THE CITIZEN.

THE Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court at Albany has handed down a
decision sustaining the order OF Justice
Lyon requiring the Deposit Electric Co.
to erect and maintain fishway in its
Stilesville dam. The case was tried a
year ago before Judge Lyon, of Bing-
hamton, and resulted in the order as
mentioned above. 1t was the result of
years of agitation on the subject and has
been most stubbornly opposed by the
Deposit Electric Company. The electric
company believed that they had right
to all the water of the river for the pur-
pose of furnishing power to their electric
plant and appealed from the order. The
appeal was argued at the January term
in Albany, the electric company main
tanning that it and its predecessors in
title had for over fifty years enjoyed
this monopoly and had thereby acquir-
ed prescriptive right which neither the
Legislature nor the courts could inter-
fere with. The Court overruled this con-
tention and holds that the company
must obey the order and pay the costs
Of the legal proceedings. This is case
of much Importance to Wayne county
people as we'll as their friends on the
ether side of the river, since it is the
pioneer case on this subject and the
people along the Delaware may expect
to seeshad and other fish ingreat abund-
ance in the upper waters of that stream
at no distant day.

The constitution provides that the
term Of the president shall be four
years, and nothing short Of an amend
ment can change the day on which the
presidential term shall begin. But
there is nothing in the constitution to
prevent congress from appointing an
other day than March 4 for the cele-
bration of the incoming Of a new ad-
