One of the additions to Glen
Dyberry's list of beautiful monu-
ments is one that old veteran, Will
liam SHELTON, has had erected to the
memory of his wife and children,
and which is also intended to mark
his last resting place. 1t is a mag
nificent stone, beautifully but mod
estly embellished, and reflects great
credit on the skill of Martin Cau-
field, who cut and erected it accord
ing to the plans and instructions of
Mr.. Shelton. The latter, although
in his S5th year, possesses the vigor
and energy of many a man much
younger.
There is a Democratic lawyer
in this borough who implicitly be-
lieves the bullet James Gallagher
sent into the head of Mayor Will
liam J. Gaynor of New York may
yet prove the strongest plank in the
mayors presidential platform two
years from now. He admits that up
TO the day Mayor GaynoIwas shot
the strong, logical candidate was
GOV. Judson Harmon of Ohio, who
got on his job so quickly and ef-
fectually when it came time to quiet
the city of Newark after the lynch
ing of an anti-saloon league detec-
tive; but he believes the American
people are more romantic than the
majority of folks think, and on this
he bases his contention that just so
soon as the New York mayor is de-
clared out of danger the Gaynor
boom, not for Albany but for Wash
ington, will be tremendously slim
ulated. Mayor Gaynor, his Sosest
friends declare, has no oyer-Wet Nlng
desire TO run for governor, this aT
or any other year; but they do nay
he believes a successful municipal
administration in the greatest city
of this hemisphere will make man
strong enough TO go into a national
convention with confidence. The
Honesdale lawyer is not betting on
Gaynor any more than he is bet
ting on Grim, but he says GaynoI
will be helped politically by the
attempt to assassinate him on the
deck of the steamship that was tc
take him TO Europe, and he is even
sanguine enough to express an ex'
pectation that the incident which
helped him in the convention would
help him TO some extent at the
polls.
