THE STATE CONsTABULARY.

The annual report of the Depart
1909, recently issued, states "there
has been "a marked decrease in the
number of crimes committed i'm all
localities the Force has been able to
patrol, there having been 3,799 ar
rests this year against 5,O2S last
year. The largest number of cases
under the Criminal Code were " As
sault and Battery" "Disorderly
Conduct" Larceny" "Burglary,"
and Carrying Concealed Deadly
Weapons" Twenty-one arrests were
made for murder, making a total of
1O1 arrests for murder and 81 con-
victions during the four years the
Force has been in existence. Dur
ing the past year 300 arrests have
been made for SO different crimes.
2,610 of these arrested have been
convicted and 40 are now awaiting
trial"
A more efficient body of men than
the State Constabulary would be
hard to find in any of the great
Commonwealths of these United
States. They have maintained or
der and enforced the laws of the
Commonwealth in every county they
covered by their regular patrols.
They have assisted the Department
of Forestry by fighting forest fires.
They have maintained quarantine
and prevented the spread of contag-
ious diseases. The rights of every
hunter and fisherman have been
safeguarded by their jealous en-
forcement of the laws against illegal
fishing and hunting. They are ply
sically and morally a set OF men of
whom we as citizens of the great
State of Pennsylvania may be Justly
proud. May their shadows never
grow less, and may the next Legis-
lature appropriate still larger sums
of money for their upkeep and num-
erical increase.

NARROW ESCAPE OF
MASTER YERKES
Almost Burned To Death In Saturday
Night Blaze At His Parents

Nothing short of a miracle saved
Master Lewis, the bright fiVe-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Judson
Yerkes, 1903 East street, from be-
ing burned to death Saturday even
ing, shortly after 8 o'clock, in his
crib in a second-story bedroom by
the explosion of Vapo-Cresoline
lamp which his mother, who had
left the room only few minutes be-
fore, after seeing her son was sound
asleep, was burning to alleviate the
attack OF bronchitis from which her
little boy was suffering.
Mrs. Herkes, with a womanly in
tuition that all was not right, went
upstairs to take another look at her
sleeping child. What was her hor-
ror, to find the bed-clothes a mass
OF flames. She screamed for help,
and her mother, Mrs. Isaac E. Tib-
bets, who lives in the same house.
came up the stairs in a twinkling,
grasped the child, and tried to put
out the flames. The neighbors were
speedily summoned by their cries
for help and Mr.. Yerkes, general
bookkeeper in the Wayne County
Savings Bank, who was at the Ex-
change Club was sent for. Before
he returned however, the fire was
put out, owing largely to the ef-
forts of Frank Voltaire and II. II.
Richards, who carried several buck
cts full of water upstairs.
The mattress in the crib was
thrown out of the window all ablaze.
Little damage was done to the room
however, beyond the scorching OF
the wall, and the burning of several
holes in the rug. The water used
to put out the fire probably did
more damage than the fire itself.
The fire attracted a large crowd
of Saturday night shoppers but as
the blaze was eXtinguished almost
instantly, pedestrians did not lin
ger long at the scene of the accident.
Mrs. Tibbets, in trying to outen the
flames, burned her hand severely
She also suffered a severe nervous
shock.
To the credit of the Fire Depart
ment it must be said that they re-
sponded promptly to the call for help
even although their services were
not required. The Honesdale Fire
Department, made up as it is OF
volunteers" is one of which the
borough is justly proud.

We were so fortunate recently as
to see Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, also

name who is the Diamond King Of
Peru" He was stopping here for a
few days, having Just arrived from
Peru with his two sons whom he is
taking to London to place in school.
We also met Ruth McEnery Stuart,

Stuart is a very pleasant woman.

sights in New York is that of the
East River with it's two bridges as
seen from the Brooklyn Bridge. To
look out from the car window and
see the many trains passing on the
greensboro and Williamsburg
bridges and see the hundreds of elec-
trio lights in the distance makes one
think of Edison, the great inventor,
as truly a wizard.

CLERGYMAN RETRACTS
STATEMENT ON TENER
Minister Who Accused Governor.
Elect of IntoXication Backs
Down Publicly.

Blairsville, Pa, Dec. An his
pulpit today, Rev. w. l.. Barrett,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, publicly reracted the state
ment, made in a recent sermon, up
on which Governor-elect John X.
Tener based a suit for criminal libel.
The minister said that the state
ment he made in his pulpit on Oc-
tober 23, to the effect that the can
didate for governor had been seen
in an intoxicated condition at Kit
tanning, was based upon information
given by the Rev. w. A. Roulston,
of Vandergrift.
A letter was read today from Mr..
Roulston in which he explained that
he mistook another man for Candi-
date Tener and that when, under
misapprehension, he related the in
cident to Rev. MIR. Barrett, he did
so without malice and without an
idea that 1t would be publicly stated.

More Representatives,

Under the new census Pennsylva-
MIA stands a fair chance to get a
larger representation in the National
House of Representatives. The
present ratio of representation in
Congress is one to every 194,1S2
people, This gives thirty-two seats
to Pennsylvania with a surplus of
population that makes the ratio of
representation in the State actually
one to every 1854 people.
If the same general ratio of rep
resentation, one to 194,1S2, were
retained under the new apportion-
ment bill, which will be passed at
the approaching session of Congress
or by the next Congress, Pennsylva-
MIA would be entitled to 80 seats,
an increase of seven.
An even increase of 100000
would give the State six additional
members on the basis of 100000 to
member. Such a distribution,
however, would, in theory, leave
162,996 persons unrepresented. The
increase is that much in excess of
the number required for six addi-
tional Representatives under the
new apportionment.
A majority fraction of the ratio
fixed as a basis of apportionment is
usually allowed representation.
Therefore, it would seem that Penn
sylvania would be entitled to a gain
of seven Representatives.
Among some Congressman the talk
has been that the ratio would be
made about one to every 225,0O0
people. Even with that big Jump
Pennsylvania would be entitled to "a
Representatives, an increase of two.
II the ratio went higher the State
would gain one or possibly more.

40 Years Ago"

Mr. Editor:
l wish to give through your paper
some of the memories of forty-six
years ago when / was a soldier boy
In May, 1864, my regiment was or
dered to the front at the Wilderness
and during the summer we took
part in every engagement in front
of Petersburg.
September 29, 1864, we were or
dered northward across the James
river and took several small forts
in that locality. We were soon or
dered to charge on a fort on Cap
on's Farm but we were not able to
take it as it was nearly surrounded
by gunboats and forts. Instead of
taking the fort we were taken pris-
oners and carried to Richmond
where we spent two days and two
nights in Libby prison and one night
on Belle Island and then on to Sails
bury, n. c., where we were confined
for six months with untold misery
and starvation with death rate of
GIG per month. Forty-six years
have passed and Pennsylvania has
erected a monument for over 12,-
600 soldiers who fill unknown
graves at Salisbury, N. G.
l attended the dedication of the
monument November 10th in COM
pany with about 175 old comrades.
Upon our arrival we were greeted
with martial music and confederate
soldiers. The Governor of North
Carolina gave the welcome address,
and said that the South was in
much better shape financially and
in more prosperous condition than
ever before.
Yours truly,
]. w. BIDWELL.

Sudden Death of Mrs. ouinIin.

Mrs. Frank Quinlin expired sud-
denly at her home, on Lower Main
street, Friday evening, at $50
o'clock, the immediate cause of her
death being paralysis of the heart.

ly after getting in the house she sat
down and complained of feeling i'll.

btNIOhSc III Npuhtys
Washington, ID. C.-Pennsylva-
MIA has a population of 7,665,111,
according to statistics of the thir-
teenth census, made public to-day.
This is an increase of 1,362,996,
or PIG per cent. over 6,302,115 in
1900. The increase from 1890 to
1900 is 1,044, ,101, or 1873 per cent.
The more rapid increase of popu-
lation between 1900 and 1910 than
was shown in the previous decade is
accepted by the Census Bureau as
another indication that the cities
and the industrial centres generally
are increasing at the expense of the
agricultural regions. OF the sixty
seven counties in Pennsylvania,
more than one-fifth show a falling
off, while five counties showed an
increase OF less than 1000 each. In
almost every instance the decrease
was in an agricultural county.
