With a cessation of coal mining
there has come a laying off of num-
erous train crews on all the rail
roads. There is no coal to haul, and
the railroad men are the first to suf-
fer. Williamsport, Corning, Elmira,
Wayerly and other division ends in
this locality, are full of idle railroad
men, for whom there will be no work
until the coal trouble is settled.

tytic stroke, which she suffered that
day. She was eighty years of age
and was born in Germany, and had
been resident of Hawley for over

The B. l. A. All Stars of Scran-
ton again beat the local champions
at the rink on Friday night in fast
and hard game, the result of which
was in doubt up to the last moment
of play The work of Quinlan and
Scull featured for the Scranton
champions. Harry Madden, superin-
tendent of the b. |. A. association,
sang two solos between halves in his
usual pleasing way and one of the
largest crowds of the season turned
out to see the double attraction.
Final score, IS to 13.
The annual Easter supper at the
Baptist church last Thursday even
ing was the most successful one held |
in several years. This popular af- |
fair was largely attended, the sum of |
VIA, net, being realized. Home |
made candy and fancy work were on
sale, in addition to the supper, the |
candy booth netting $40, and fancy |
work $500. This congregation has |
taken a new lease on life under the |
able pastorate of Rev. George S. |
Wendell, who has a pleasing per-
sonality both in the pulpit and when |
mingling with his people. We trust |
that both church and pastor will |
continue to prosper.
Thousands of dollars have
been wasted in the State of Penn |
sylVania by reason of a bad system |
OF keeping school accounts. The |
new Code throws a number of safe |
guards around the business opera |
tions of school boards, which it is |
believed will be advantageous to the |
whole system. Honorable William |
Lauder, a member of the State Board |
of Education and the originator of |
the code idea, has submitted to that |
Board preliminary report on a sys-
TEN of keeping accounts in school |
districts of the fourth class. Later |
the matter will be extended to dis |
tricts of other classes. The adoption |
of such a system will mean uni |
formity throughout the state. I'm |
der this system it will be possible |
TO make correct comparisons between |
the different districts. This will |
give to the Pennsylvania system of |
pre-eminent standing.
Arrangements are being made |
for the Literary contest to be held |
in the Lyric opera house, Friday |
evening, April 10. 1t will be re- |
membered that two years ago when |
Carbondale came over with a special |
train TO attend the contest that they |
were not very successful in winning |
points. The pupils of the Honesdale |
High school are working hard IN !
