Billy Sunday, the baseball evan
meetings at Winono Lake, has made
careful calculation as to the saw
ing of souls in large cities, and he
rates indianapolis as the highest OF
any city in the country. 1t costs
$500 to save one soul in Indianapo-
4 lis" he said. "In New York city
the cost is $545; in Boston, $450;
in Denver, S425; in Chicago, 1895;
in New Orleans, SIS; in Atlanta,
S75." The figures, he explained,
were made by taking the amount Civ
en- for the maintenance of churches
and the number of accessions to the
churches, and making a simple di-
vision.
Mrs. Ellis Whitney upon open
ing the partially closed window
blinds, facing Hon. c. c. Jadwin' s
home, Monday morning, discovered
that one STAT of blind was broken
and the next one below was chip
ped. Mrs. Whitney then began a
search for the missile which SUD
posedly did the damage. She found
it and as she. thought it proved to be
a bullet from a 32-calibre revolver or
rifle Had anyone been standing
at the rear of the Jadwfn house or
between the two houses the stray
bullet undoubtedly would have kill
ed them. Shooting of firearms at
random is certainly very dangerous
and means ought to be taken to try
and prohibit it.
Quite a large number of the
members of Grace Episcopal and
Presbyterian Sunday schools of this
place united with Trinity Episcopal
Sabbath school on Friday last for "a
union picnic at Lake Lodore. The
Honesdale delegation took twenty
gallons of ice cream and commenced
to deal it out to members upon the
ground. Yhis caused a stir in the
camp and rights and privileges were
the chief topic of conversation for
several minutes. 1t proved that the
members of Trinity parish also
brought cream but after arriving up
on the grounds sold the privilege to
sell the cream to an individual. He
claimed he had the exclusive right
to sell ice cream upon the grounds
and therefore forbid the Honssdale
parishioners and visitors from sell
ing their refreshments or even Civ
ing it away. Honesdale is not quite
so slow as that, so the picnickers
from this side of the Moosic were
given all the free ice cream that
they could eat The day was joy
ously spent and everybody went
home well satisfied with the days
outing, feeling that it had been well
spent.
There is joy on the Pocono
mountains, l understand, over the
prospect that the ice houses will be
entirely cleaned out before the
present Summer has waned. Usual
ly, even in the hottest years, large
quantities OF ice are left in the Po-
como houses in the Fall. Not long
ago the entire crop of one ice COM
pany was untouched in the Fall.

who backed the undertaking. The
