"A late report from Monticello,
N. Y, is to the effect that there is
great excitement among the farmers
and property owners at Sackett lake
over a discovery of a clay that burns
as we'll as coal and abounds in great
quantities. This clay, when dug up
and allowed to dry out in the sun,
becomes porous and as hard as flint.
A lighted match will ignite the clay,
and it burns until consumed. A
specimen of the clay has been sent
to Cornell university to be analysed.
At Grace Episcopal church

On Friday, May 2S, the Lyric
Theatre will be occupied by that
New York success, Polly of the Cir
cus'' with Miss Fay Wallace in the
leading part. The story, one full
of human interest, deals with the
fortunes of a young girl who be-
comes a circus rider and while the
circus is playing in a small town
is thrown from her horse at the door
of local minister, who cares for
her through her illness. The usual
village gossip follows and much mis-
understanding occurs which, of
course, rights itself in the end.
The play has run successfully for
one whole season at the Liberty
Theatre and will be given here for
one performance with the same de-
tail.

LOCAL NEWS.

William Holl, of East Honesdale,
met with apainful accident one day last
week. Mr.. Iloll was thrown from Il
load of hay and his hip was badly in
jured from the fall. No bones were
broken.
The National Elevator x Machine
Company has an order for forty-eight
machines from a New York subway
firm. This means steady employment
for number of men for long time.
The Carbondale correspondent OF
the Scranton Truth says that report is
current in that city that train between
Carbondae and Honesdale is to be dis
continued, reducing the service from
three trains day to two.
Correspondents of The Citizen, and
all others sending notices FOR publication,
are requested to write evening when
they mean evening, and "eve'' if they
wish to designate the evening previous
to the day mentioned. "Christmas eve
occurs on the 9th of December, and
"Christmas evening" on the 25th, and
this distinction should always be OBJ
served. Correspondents are also request
ed to spell out the days of the week, the
months, and all names in full.
The marriage license fee for

ed for recording said consent, thus
making the entire fee for minors,
$3.50.
The Susquehanna Transcript
has revived the old story that the
Erie is seriously considering big
new cutoff in its line between
Binghamton and New York, some
what similar to that for which sur
veys are now being made by the
Lackawanna between Nichols, N. Y,
and Nicholson, Pa. The proposed
Erie cutoff is from Susquehanna to
LackawaXen. This involves the
boring of great tunnel through
Gulf Summit mountain, west OF this
place. In the original construction
of the road the engineers were OBJ
liged to go many miles out of their
way to get around this mountain,
making almost semi-circle north,
by way of Deposit. 1t is said that
a three mile tunnel through Gulf
Summit mountain, costing about
$5,000,000, would permit of build
ing an almost straight line from
Susquehanna to LackawaXen, and
eliminate some of the worst grades
on the division.
The voting contest in regard
to whether the patrons of the Lyric
Theatre would like to have "Sapho'
produced in the near future, was
decided on Saturday evening. On
the counting of the votes it was
found that about 500 wanted the
play while only SO were against it
so "Sapho" will be played by the
Gardner-Vincent Co. on two even
ings only, Thursday and Saturday
May 9th and 29th, (no matinee)
For the first three days of next
week another beautiful, romantic
drama, entitled THE Lady OF
Lyons" will be the attraction. II
is claimed that this play is ever
stronger than THE Iron Master
which was so ably acted by the
Gardner-Vincent Co. few weeks
ago. Next week being the last o.
the engagement of this clever stocl
company here, the Lyric will NJ
doubt be crowded to the doors a.
each performance.

EDUCATION IN THE ARMY.
Some Special Advantages That Go
With the Military Career.

Education is a prominent feature
of army life. Men who have not
had the advantage of extensive
schooling will find in the army facili-
ties for acquiring a good education
At all posts there are schools for the
instruction Of enlisted men in gram
mar, arithmetic, and other studies in
volved in common school educa-
tion. These schools are for the ben
eft Of enlisted men who have not
had educational advantages, but at
tendance Is optional. There is like
wise at every post, school for the
instruction of non-commissioned Of
ficers.
In addition there are several tech
nical schools. At Fort Riley, Kan
sas, there Is the mounted service
school, which includes the training
school for non-commissioned officers,
the training school for farriers and
horseshoers, and that for bakers and
cooks. At Rock Island, Illinois,
there is the training school for sad
oilers; at Fort Monroe, Virginia.
there is the training school for mas
ter gunners and Electrician Ser
geants, where the men with intelli-
gence and a fair education may be-
come skilled electrical engineers.
At various places in the United
States and in the outlying possess
sions there are schools for instruc-
tion of enlisted men for duty in the
Hospital Corps. This course teaches
how to care for the sick-to dress
wounds, compound medicines, and
finally to become a skilled nurse or
pharmacist. At Fort Wood, on
Bedlow's Island, in New York Har-
Dor, is the school for the Signal
Corps, where enlisted men become
expert telegraphers and switchboard
operators, and learn to construct
and operate all sorts Of electrical
and other lines for the transmission
of information.
These schools are all free, and en-
able any intelligent soldier to ac-
quire the education necessary to fill
any position in the ranks of the
army.
At all posts and in many of the
companies there are good libraries,
where enlisted men are supplied
free of cost with good books and cur
rent literature. Excellent gymna-
Sums with modern equipment offer
special opportunities for physical de-
velopment. Athletics are encour-
ARad. contasts and tOurn q menta ara
arranged and prizes given for excel
lence. At all headquarters of regi-
ments and of the important coast ar
tillery districts the presence of a
band enables enlisted men to en-
gage in social recreation, such as
dances and concerts, beyond the
reach of many of their friends and
acquaintance in civil life.-New

The RBried Cities.

Pompeii was buried in ashes, and
was easily disinterred, while Hercu-
laneum received the full force Of the
crimson lava, which hardened rapid
ly to the consistency of marble, and
must be quarried in order to reach
the city bepeath. Owing to this diff
ficulty only small amount of ex-
cavating has been done as COM
pared with that which has taken
place at Pompeii. In addition an
other town sprang up on the lava
about Herculaneum, which would
have been endangered by the under
mining necessary to exploration with
pick and shovel.
