Whether the United States can take

for control of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad system ended before the
sound of the gong On Tuesday
George ]. Gould's brokers, smelling
something doing, began anxiously
inquiring for proxies. On the same
day Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and many
people associated with them, in
cluding John D. Rockefeller,
showed their hand by demanding,
through attorneys, a list of stock
holders addresses and other data
pertinent to fight preliminaries.
Early to-day Mr.. Gould had Otto
H. Kahn, the Kuhn-Loeb partner,
who was Harrinlan's most trusted
adviser and most intimate friend,
meet him at the offices of Mr..
Gould's lawyers in Pine street. Il
was not long before papers were
signed, sealed, and delivered, and
the management of the system
transferred.
GOULD CALLS ON KAHN.
A little while later Mr.. Gould called
upon Mr.. Kahn at the offices of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. What took place at this
meeting is not known. except for this lit
tie fragment:
''Good-by. Mr.. Kahn.' said Mr.. Gould
as he left "Good-by, Mr. Could" said
Mr.. Kahn.
Though fragmentary, the conversation
told conciseIy enough the story of the
transfer of control of a railroad company
with authority over 1855 miles of road,
one of the three greatest railroad systems
IA the world from the standpoint of
mileage. Moreover, there was in it the
tone of mutual respect. For Missouri Pa
cifc was the crown jewel of the rail-
road diadem left by Jay Gould and had
always been cherished by the family as
the choicest of its railroad possessions
and both men understood that Mr.. Gould
would have been willing enough to relin-
quish active control of it years ago, but
for purely sentimental reasons
Mr. Gould's surrender of control was
due to no lack of chivalry or courage
He found out that there were arrayed
against him not only Kuhn. Loeb & Co,
the syndicate which took over the Pear
son-Farquhar holdings and John D.
Rockefeller, but also the Deutsche Bank
of Berlin, international banking houses
representing practically all of the foreign
stockholders and most of the Wall Street
houses of any consedue9ce-
Fear Strong Alliance.
A marshaling of the anti-Gould
forces was hastened by negotiations
which Mr.. Gould undertook with other
railroad men. The most important of
these was with the Union Pacific sys-
tenn and its bankers and representatives.

formidable negotiation was conducted

NEW YEARS
RESOLUTIONS!
ADVICE GIVEN BY HONESDALE
CLERGY - WORTH READING
AND HEEDING-MUCH WISDOM
IN SMALL COMPASS.

IN SMALL SONhL AOIos
A reporter of THE CITIZEN made
the rounds of the Honesdale clergy,
in the driving New Years Day rain,
and asked each and all this simple
and practical question:
What would be good New
Years resolution"
When this question was put to the
Rev. w. H. Swift, D. D., pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, he
said:
Pay up all past debts"
Rev. c. c. Miller, pastor of St.
Johns Evangelical Lutheran church.
said:
well, ] think about the best res
olution for men in general would be
to resolve to let so of the past, in
order that they may lay hold of the
present and the future; i. e. as long
as you hold on to the past, you are
not ready to receive anything the fu-
ture has in store for you. If man S
hands are full of the past, he simply
can't take hold of the future at all. !"
Rev. A. L. Whitaker, rector of
Grace Protestant Episcopal church,
said:
''It depends on the individual If
a man drinks too much-stop drink
ing. If he is addicted to the habit
of telling lies,-stop it, and tell the
truth. If he isn't kind to his wife
and children,-to institute a revo-
luton in his heart, and in his meth
cd of treating them and so on"
The Rev. Will H. Hitler, pastor of
the First Methodist Episcopal church,
said:
why, l don't know any better
New Years resolution, than to be
true to God, to yourself and to man,
do you?''
Rev. T. NJ. Hanley, rector of St.
Johns Roman Catholic church, is
spending the week in Philadelphia
and couldn't be reached.
Rev. J, w. Balta, D. D., rector of
st. Mary Magdalen's Roman Catholic
church, said he considered "the
New Year is new term put down by
human device to give man a new
chance, a new hope. The New Year
will be the same as last year. The
same sunshine and rain; the same
God is still there, and will rule the
world in the same manner. Social
conditions will not be changed. The
same conditions will prevail, sor-
rows and pain. We must put up
with them. Everyone whether rich
or poor has his burden. All social
questions will be solved only by the
doctrine of the Cross, and by living
up to the doctrines of Christian re-
ligion. Those New Year resolutions
don't last. They are contrary to the
inner laws of human nature, and
are a frequent cause for men to be-
come discouraged.
"On New Year every one ought to
grasp the questions of practical life
and try to solve them in his own
way. The New Year is only a term
put down by human invention to
give man another chance of life"
Rev. Geo. S. Wendell pastor of
the First Baptist church, said:
There's so many things we ought
to resolve to do. It's hard to select
one specific thing. We ought to re-
solve to do our best in everything.
That's the most we can do, l guess
We put too much emphasis on the
negative side without having some
positive objective toward which to
work. Hence we fail to keep reso-
lutions. The best way to down the
wrong is to crown the right. We
try too much to keep from doing
wrong when simply doing right
would save the day"

Other occupations owned up to were

forty summers was brave enough
to tell the clerk she was 65 years

On Christmas Day, the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. John B. Phillips at

of their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
The old couple stood and looked
in amazement as the big sleigh-load
drove up to the door. After the
happy greetings, the boxes of goodies
and Christmas gifts were carried in
to the house. A bountiful dinner
was soon prepared by the girls of
the family.
All the family was seated with
father and mother except one son,
William, who lives in Montana. He
had sent his present, and regrets
that he could not be with them.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.
