When Mr.. Tener could make him

plause had somewhat subsided, he
sand:
"All be seated I'll feel much more
comfortable than to see you stand

prise to me to-day. This is entire
ly unexpected. l have nothing to
say very much. It's not the first
time I've been in Wayne county or
Honesdale. These visits have been
most pleasant recollections.
"I'm glad to be here this after
noon to look into the faces of those
who are doing so much for human
ity. Pennsylvania is proud of all she
is doing in public education, provid-
ing more money and doing more for
public schools and scholars than any
other state.
81 never appreciated the advant-
ages of my education when l was a
boy, of my fundamental advantages

teachers, who radiate among your
scholars will encourage them to de-
termine that this life is real and
what they are learning in the schools
is for their future good and
makes for the strength of the coun-
try to come.
IL am glad to be here to wish all
of your schools, and you individually,
the greatest amount of prosperity
and happiness. l thank you.''

JUDGE A. 7. SEARLE
NAMES GUARDIANS
Petitions In Two Lunacy
Cases Granted Tuesday
AGED WOMAN AND MAN HAVE
CARETAkERS APPOINTED BY
THE COURT.

Two lunacy cases were heard be-
fore Judge A. T. Searle at argument
court, Tuesday afternoon, at 2
o'clock.
The first case was that of an ap-
plicatlon lor the appointment of a
guardian Tor Anon Jones, a person
of weak mind, residing in the town
snip OF Lake, wayne county, E. g..
Mumford, Esq, appearing as attor-
ney for the petitioner, and Searle
and Salmon tor the defendant.
Victor A. Jones, son OF Anon
Jones, testified that his father had
three children living, and that he
resided in Lake township. His
1athers physical condition, he de-
clared, was very bad, and his mental
condition very weak. He said that
he lived with him in the same house
for years, and that his father wasn't
able to be brought into Court.
Anon Jones, he further stated,
owns farm of so acres, valued at
$500, and personal property
amounting to about 5000. His faith
er has been ailing physically for
years. We had him up at Hillside
Home three years ago."
DR.. A. M. Cook, who practices
medicine in South Canaan, swore
that he knew Anon Jones for the
past three or four years. 4 About
three years ago" he said, /" we COM
mitted him to Hillside Home. He
had delusions, hallucinations and has
been a trouble to his family. The
chances are it's an incurable case.
He couldn't be brought here into
Court. He can't converse with you
intelligently. He goes from one
hallucination to another"
Postmaster A. S. Keyes, Ariel,
swore that he knew Anon Jones.
His farm, he said, was run down,
and would probably rent for not
more than 500 year. ,
r. p. Jones, Ariel, and w. H.
Swingle, Ariel, were also present as
witnesses, but were not required to
testify.
Judge Searle then appointed Geo.
Franc guardian and ordered him to
give bond in the sum of $4,000.
The second case was that of an
application to have guardian ap-
pointed for the estate of Ann Eliza
Spry, a weak-minded person, upon
petition of Willie K. Spry, her son,
Searle and Salmon appearing as at
torneys for the petitioner.
Mrs. Anna Eliza Spry was called
to the stand, and asked whether she
would like to have a guardian to
take care of her personal property.
She said she would, and thought
John A. Knorr would be the proper
person.

w. X. Spry, Oregon township, a
son of Mrs. Spry, said that his moth
er's mind by spells is all right. "She
has had considerable trouble, and by
spells she can be influenced" She
might be Influenced by designing
persons he thought. His mother
has $500 in the bank, he stated.

another son, said: 81 think mother

Only Woman Veteran of the South
-. Marks Graves of Departed Comrades
With Very Tiny Confederate Flags

AUGUSTA, Ca. May 30.-Miss
Mary A. Hall is an unreconstruct-
ed rebel. She wears the full con-
Ifederate uniform, except that the
trousers are replaced by a skirt of
gray. Her head is covered by the
regulation hat worn by the sol
oilers of the Georgia camps.
Around her waist is a belt clasped
with a buckle worn by brother
who was killed at Murfreesboro.
Miss Hall is Vivandiere (daugh-
ter of the regimenD of Camp ABS,
Survivors of the Confederacy, OF
Augusta, and the recognized Gus
todian of the flag.
She has never stood under the
United States flag since Lees sur
render without wearing small
confederate flag in her hair or
on her hat.
There were few who bore arms
in the momentous struggle of so
years ago who were of as much
real benefit as was Miss Hall.
She was very young girl at the
time, and got up from a bed of
Illness to act as nurse in the SOL
diers' hospital.
She not only closed the eye of
many a dying soldier, but on many
a battlefield she scarcely waited
for the action to begin before she
was in the thick of the strife, at
tending the wounded and receiv-
ing the last messages of the dying.
Tales of her care and sacrifices
are still related by the veterans
of Gen. Lee and Stonewall Jack
son. But even this did not seem
sufficient. So she became a scout
Many are the stories of her
daring, of her narrow escapes
from capture, and of her disre-
gard of dangers that would make
even the strongest men quail.
