-Gouldsboro is 1000 feet above
sea level, and justly boasts of a hotel
called st. Charles, which sets a table
that makes the hotel the mecca for
all automobilists who travel that sec
tion of the country. c. C. Garagan
is the host and his good nature is
proverbial.

The New York Tribune thinks
that now that Col. James NJ. Cuff
fey has applied for a receiver, the
Democratic party in Pennsylvania
might as well go and do likewise"
and the Boston Advertiser points
out that I'VE fail to see any signs
of party assets exceeding the liabili-
ties, as in the case of Guffey."
-Eloping couples from Pennsyl-
vania and others from the keystone
state who go to Binghamton, n. Y,
to wed are becoming a source of
considerable expense to the city tax
payers, says the Binghamton Press.
The law provides that a minister or
person registering the record of a
marriage shall be entitled to a fee
of 25 cents for each wedding re-
corded. At the last meeting of the
health board one minister had bill
of $50 for 200 marriages to be
audited. OF the S2S marriages re-
corded last year, it is estimated that
nearly 600 were from Pennsylvania,
which would mean that eloping
couples cost the local taxpayers $3.50.
An auto owner not totally un-
known in Wayne county went with
party of three for a ride in Pike
county. Night overtaking them on
the road about 80 miles from Homes
dale, they stopped at hotel for sup
per and lodging and to have the mud
scraped off the machine. Two meals
and one lodging for the party came
to S19. That was paid without a
holler. The man who scraped and
brushed the machine said he thought
he ought to have $4. He got it. The
man who paid the two bills says 19
and four make 90, according to his
arithmetic, but that he proposes to
keep his auto and entertain his
friends, for all the hotel men and the
stable help in Pike and Monroe are
so steep in their charges.
Judge A. T. Searle has handed
down an opinion refusing a new trial
in the case of NJ. j. LAWN against
Maria B. Hull. LAWN is a butcher
in Olyphant, where Mrs. Hull lives.
Six or eight years ago Joseph A.
Hull, son of the defendant, bought
goods of LAWN and when the bill
amounted to a little more than 500
and Hull showed no disposition to
pay, LAWN cut off his meat supply.
Mrs. Hull agreed to pay for what
ever her son ordered and LAWN again
provided him meat. When the bill
amounted to $213.15, on April %,
1904, and Mrs. Hull had paid moth
ing, LAWN once more shut down on
the meat supply and sued. A jury
gave him a verdict for the full
amount and interest from April %,
1904. The plaintiffs counsel ap-
piled for a new trial, which was re-
fused.
