c. II. DORFLINGER TALKS BASE
BALL.

The following interesting piece of
news we take from the New York
Sun of Wednesday,:
Nobody read more closely the
story of the visit of the Bostons and
Athletics to England in 1874 de-
scribed in Sundays Sun than c. H.
Dorflinger, the glass manufacturer OF
Pennsylvania, who said that he saw
the first game played by the two
teams in London.
81 had been at school in Ger
many" said Mr.. Dorfiinger, "and my
brother and l had been over there
for year. We were on our way
back home, and l remember to this
day what great thing we felt II
was to see something American in
London and a game of baseball at
that.
What seemed to impress the
Englishmen whose comments we
heard was the wonderful throwing
of the members of the visiting teams
and the fact that they were so ac-
curate at catching long throws. We
saw the first game of cricket played
by the Americans too. The visitors
astonished the natives by throwing
and catching the heavy cricket ball
in the same way they would base
ball, and We gloated when our men
beat the Englishmen at their own
game"

SPEECH RESTORED BY ELEC-
TRICIIY.

The many friends of John Sam
uels of Canaan street, Delaware and
Hudson fireman, who lost his speech
as the result of an accident which
occurred at FarVieW on the Homes
dale branch last July, will be pleas
ed to learn that he has recovered his
speech from treatment which he re-
ceived at the Medico-Chi hospital in
Philadelphia. In jumping from an
engine, Mr.. Samuels struck his head
against the track and when taken to
Emergency hospital it was discovered
that he had lost his speech. After
recovering from minor injuries few
weeks ago he went to Philadelphia
1t was first thought that an operation
would be necessary but 1t was de-
cided to first try an electrical treat
ment, which proved to be very sue
cessful. The treatment lasted from
two to three hours each day and
when developments were looked for
one of the physicians asked the pa
tient if he thought he could enjoy a
hearty meal. " | certainly could"
was the reply of the patient and the
utterance was an agreeable surprise
to both. They were the first words
uttered by Mr.. Samuels since before
the accident which was the most pc
culiar that ever came before the no.
tice of the local physicians. Mr.
Samuels will have to make another
visit to Philadelphia before the
treatment is completed -Carbondale

SCHOOL NOTES.

A preliminary fire drill was held
in the school Tuesday afternoon
The pupils, numbering 490, left the
building in three minutes.
Professor Oday attended the
Bradford county teachers institute
at Towanda on Monday. The ses-
sions started on the 10th instant and
are in convention for the week.
There are 400 students in the
Honesdale school. OF this number
one-fourth are in the High school.
This is a remarkable record and it
is doubtful if there is another town
the size of Honesdale where this
can be duplicated.
One person out of every 80 of the
population of the town is represent
ed in the High school. This speaks
well for the educational spirit that
exists in Honesdale.
There has been much said about
the number of less families in the
borough. Contrary to that state
ment the following interesting fig
ures speak for themselves. Princi-
pal Oday furnishes the following
table, which show a contrast of the
number of pupils enrolled between
the school years 1910-11 and 1911

"A PRETTY WEDDING.

A very pretty autumn wedding
took place at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. o. Blake on Wednesday,
October IS, at high noon, when
their daughter, Edna A., was united
in marriage to Russell w. Gammell.
The bridal party, led by Rev. E. S.
Bierly, entered the living room to
the strains of Lohengrins wedding
march, played by cousin of the
bride, Miss Alice Ward. The bride
was most beautifully gowned in
white messaline with bead embroid-
cry and silk band trimming and car
ried a shower bouquet of bridal
roses. Her attendant, Miss Ella
Gammell, only sister of the groom,
wore pink silk and carried pink
carnations. The groom wore the
customary black and was attended by
Mr.. Harry Blake, only brother of
the bride, while Miss Mabel Blake
acted as ring bearer. The impress
sive ring ceremony was used
Hearts and Flowers was softly
rendered during the ceremony. The
house was beautifully decorated
throughout with ropes of grounu
pine and banks of autumn leaves
and ferns. A dainty buffet lunch
con was served by the brides girl
friends to about sixty guests.
The beautiful array of gifts con-
sisting of cut glass, silver, china,
money, rugs, furniture, etc., testified
to the high esteem in which the
bride is held by her numerous
friends. The bridegroom is a pro-
gressive young farmer, having TAX
en- two years agricultural course
at State College. The happy pair
left on the afternoon D. & H. train
for Niagara Falls and other points of
interest. The brides travelling suit
was of brown with hat to match.
Upon their return will begin house
keeping in their newly furnished
home at Bethany. Among the guests
were relatives and friends from
Binghamton, hawley, Newark,
Childs, Beach Lake, Honesdale, and
Seelyville.

LIBERAL REWARD.

R. M. BOWS is a firm believer in
the reward of honesty. To prove
this he gave a housemaid at the Ho-
tel Wayne so cents for returning
$3.50 he had left under his pillow
Monday morning The money was
placed there the night before for
safekeeping. When Mr.. BOWS left
the room to go to work in the morn
ing the roll slipped his mind. He
searched the room on his return,
but the money was gone. The pro-
prietor, however, told him a house
maid had turned over the money to
him intact.
