TOM QUICKs CANOE FOUND.

The canoe sunk by it's owner, Tom
Quick, in York Lake, near Lacka-
waxen, over a hundred years ago,
has been recovered. 1t was discov-
cred Friday by L. T. Campbell, care
taker at the lake, in twelve feet OF
water and was brought to the sur
face by Mr.. Campbell, assisted by
Earl Thorn, Lackawaxen.
tom Quick, the Indian Slayer, or
the Avenger of the Delaware, was
born in what now is the borough of
Milford, in 1889. When but boy
his father was killed and scalped by
Indians. Over his fathers body Tom
made VOW to kill one hundred of
his murderers. He hunted alone
and had succeeded in killing ninety
nine when he was stricken with
smallpox and died in 1896. He ex-
pressed the regret that he could not
live until he killed one more. How
ever, he had inspired the Indians
with such terror that they could not
believe he was dead and they open
ed his grave. AS a result nearly
the whole tribe was wiped out by
smallpox contracted from the dead
body of Tom.
Tom just before he died sunk his
canoe in York lake. 1t is hewn out
of cedar log and despite it's long
rest under the water it is still in
such condition that it can be padded
over the water.

MIR. STRAUSS A CANDIDATE.

The many Honesdale friends of
Attorney S. j. Strauss, Wilkes-Bar-
re, will be elated to hear of the an
nouncement of Mr.. Strauss name as
a candidate for the Office of Com
mon Pleas Judge of Luzerne county.
A Wilkes-Barre paper says: "It is
the consensus of intelligent opinion,
both at the bar and among the peo-
pie, that a man more specially fitted
to fill the high Office of judge could
not be found in either political party
than Mr.. Strauss. He has been in
the active practice of the law in this
county continuously for more than
thirty-fiye years, and occupies a
place in the front rank of his pro-
fession. His high personal charac-
ter, his large mental culture and
thorough equipment as a lawyer, his
broad public spirit and his judicial
temperament all make him a pecu-
liarly and desirable man for the Of
flee of judge. His character, ability
and personality have alike won and
held for him the respect of all
classes" Mrs. Strauss was former
ly Miss Minnie Weiss of this place.

CHESTNUT TREE BLIGHT.

A blight, similar to the pear
blight, is killing the chestnut trees
in the Eastern and Middle Atlantic
states. The blight or canker may
extend over the entire country. AS
a preventative to save the tree pois-
onous solutions poured around the
roots of the trees has been highly
recommended.
OF the 1900 specimens in Bronx
Park, New York, only two are stand
ing.
With the more general recogni-
ton of the perils of the chestnut
canker serious steps are being TAX
en- to prevent it's spread. Pennsyl-
vania, whose Forestry Department
values the chestnuts of the State at
$50, 100000, has been the first to
take up the matter on large scale.
After a special message from Gov.
Tener the Pennsylvania Legislature
voted an appropriation of $275,000
to fight the plague. Various meth
ods are under consideration, and
vigorous quarantine methods will be
carried out, though quarantine for
tree plague is a difficult matter
when the wind, migrating birds, and
even the squirrels with cheerful ig-
norance carry the spores for miles
and miles. The squirrels are among
| the most dangerous propagators OF
the disease for short distances, foI
the spores must find a place where
the bark is scratched and broken
to enter and make a home, and the
sharp claws of the squirrel make the
necessary abrasions and admit the
| spores at the same time. The blight
started on Long Island.

JULY RlJ FOR
yOUNfI Dan CUPID.
Only Nine Licenses We're
Issued; IL Last Year
PRETTY DULL TINES DURING
SUMMER MONTHS IN MIR.
HANLAN'S OFFICE.

Dan Cupid found Wayne county a
pretty poor field for his operations
during the month of July, only nine
of his votaries applying to the Clerk
of the Orphans Court for marriage
licenses, as compared with an even
dozen in the corresponding month
last year.
The county seat takes the lead
with three grooms and three brides.
White Mills and Hawley were each
represented by bride and groom.
The average age of the applicants
was unusually high, that of the
grooms being 80 10 years, and that
of the brides 26 and 7-9 years. The
oldest groom was 4S and the young
est %. The oldest bride owned up
to A years and the youngest two
blushingly confessed that they were
eighteen.
In only one case was the bride old
er than the groom, and that was
where young man of 22 took out a
license to marry young lady one
year older than himself. Two coup
les were of exactly the same age.
Two of the grooms and two of the
brides had previous matrimonial ex-
periences. All of the brides gave
their occupation as ''at home" save
one who said she was silk weaver.
For the grooms, the laborers took
the lead, three of them being so oc
cupied. There was one liveryman,
one machinist, one restaurant keep
er, one farmer, one glass blower and
one clerk.
Two of the grooms, and one of the
brides were born in York state. One
couple came here from the Electric
City to take out license papers.
The summer months are usually
| dull months in Clerk of the Or
phans' Court M. J. Hanlan's office,
and July was, and August doubtless
will be, no exceptions to the general
rule. But Love, who laughs at
| locks and bars calls all seasons her
own. And when man and a maid
| love each other with an all-consum-
ing passion not all the celestial signs
in the calendar, much less irate
fathers and mothers, can keep them
from having their own way about it.
| When woman wills. she wills!
4 And when she won't, she won't! So
there you are! -
The ages of the contracting par
ties with those of the grooms given
first follows: 26-1S; 26-19;
4S-44; 22-23; PTS; 3S-3S;
37-35; 27-22; 24-24.
