The Central Labor union will
have a meeting tonight to see how
much money was made at the Labor
day picnic at Bellevue park, the big
gest picnic that beautiful resort has
had this year. Unquestionably the
books for that day are to show a
generous profit. The eatables were
all sold by II o'clock that night and
all the attractions on the grounds
played to big business. There are
still a few bills to come in, but to-
nights meeting will give a close idea
of the unions net gain.
On Wednesday next the county
will open the bids for
the construction of concrete bridge
at Starrucca and another near Star
light, also for an iron bridge over the
Lackawaxen Just above Hawley.
They have in view for the latter
place a bridge which has been in use
in New York state, but which is being
removed by the state commissioner
to give place to heavier one for
street car traffic. 1t is 500 feet long,
with a 17-foot roadway, fills the bill
nicely at Hawley, and is a bargain.
"A few evenings ago a Honesdale
citizen was encountered by strang-
er who thought Honesdale one of the
most beautiful and picturesque towns
he had even visited. He then drew
attention to the telephone and cleo
tric light wires that run directly be-
tween the limbs of this towns state
" maple trees, killing the limbs
wherever the wires came in contact
with them. The stranger informed
the Honesdale man that he under
stood there was a Ladies' Improve
ment society here and he thought 1t
rather strange that they did not take
some steps in this matter.
Women who cook and men who
like to consume the products of good
cooks should make it point to go
to the vacant store next to A. Nj.
Leine's tonight between and 8,
when the oil-and-water cookstoVe
now being demonstrated will turn
out enough good stuff to feed them
all. Mrs. Charles ]. Weaver Will
send over the dough for several
pans of biscuit, with possibly a pie
or two, and the baking will be done
in an oven the heat of which, ac-
cording to the demonstration, is full
" 40 per cent. more evenly distrib-
uted than any heat produced by gas
or coal. The vapor from a mixture
of oil and water does the job, and
any person who feels certain water
will not burn should drop in and
be enlightened on the subject.
Erie Detective Frank Kelly was
a Honesdale visitor Tuesday. He
Jumped off the $50 train, shook

was simply riding for entertainment
