son started to play with the Maple
City team, taking his turn in the box
once a week. In those days his
superb condition at all times was a
matter of much comment among the
local fans.
In the face of many temptations
which come to a big Lacquer like
Matty, he has kept in splendid, per-
feet physical trim year in and year
out during his long service with the
Giants. He is still feared by Chi
cago, Pittsburg, Philadelphia and
every other team in the league for
that matter. The fact that he has
been saving his strength wisely and
we'll during the past several years
has much tc do with the reports that
he is getting ready for the discard.
There is nothing to the rumor and
all that Matty wants in a ball game
is to win. He does not go after low
scores, few hits, and many strike
outs and he never pitches at high
speed until there is absolute neces-
sity for him to do so. To attain his
high record, Matty has had to keep
in perfect trim at all times. He has
carried the brunt of the pitching
burden of the New York Giants for
several years and his work has earn
ed that team the title of a one man
team.
Here in Honesdale, where Matty
started his wonderful record, we al
ways consider him a local favorite.
Everybody is interested in his con-
tinued success and hope that many
| more years of fame will be his lot in
! the main circuit.

DEMOCRATIC BOSS RULE.

The Democratic state committee of
Pennsylvania, following in the foot
steps of the Republican Progress
sives, has adopted a resolution which
provides for the quizzing of their
candidates.
Each candidate for the state SEN
ate and legislature is to be called Ito
file with the chairman of the state
central committee, for publication, a
written declaration of his approval
of the various measures advocated
by the Democratic party; and his
pledge that, if elected, he will sup
port the legislation necessary to
carry the same into effect. And
should the candidate fail or refuse
to file within thirty days thereafter
such written declaration or pledge,
the chairman of the state central
committee is authorized and is here
by directed to publish the fact for
the information of the electors"
And are there also suspected trait
ors among the candidates of the
Democracy? If not what is the pur-
pose of this particular big stick? OF
what are the new Democratic leaders
afraid that they use this method of
whipping the candidates into line?
The rank and file of the Democracy
nominated their candidates for the
state senate and the legislature be-
fore the state convention was held
or the progressive principles formu-
lated, or the state committee named.
Nor had the candidates themselves
any notice that they were to be COM
PEELED to subscribe to doctrines
thereafter to be promulgated. Now
the new leaders propose, under GER
tain conditions, to nullify the action
of the voters of their party. What
have the voters themselves to say
about it? And suppose a candidate,
nominated by .the people, should re-
fuse to comply with this demand
made by he leaders? What would
happen to him? Presumably the
leaders would set about to encom-
pass his defeat. This would result in
the election of a Republican for
which we should, of course, be duly
grateful. But one cannot help won
dering what the purpose and proper
functions of a Democratic state COM
mittee are? 1t had been presumed
that it was the duty of that commit
tee to do all in its power to pro-
cure the election of the candidates
duly nominated by the Democratic
party. But it appears now that this
was a mistaken presumption. 1t ap-
pears now that it is one of the func-
tions of the state committee to re-
wise the work of the voters at the
primaries, to make its own selection
of the candidates nominated whom
it will support at the polls, to sep
arate the sheep from the goats as ii
were, the sheep being those who sub
scribe in every particular to its
views as to who is a simon pure
| Democrat, and the goats being those
who differ with its views in any
particular. The goats of course are
to be driven into outer darkness. OF
course this is not our funeral, but
possibly some old-fashioned Demo
crat, who is inclined to chafe under
boss rule, will rise up and denounce
this action of the state committee as
"high-handed tyranny" 1t will be
interesting to watch developments.

Stomach Distress
Gas and Sourness Vanish.

What's the use OF always feeling
miserable just because your stomach
isn't behaving itself.
Don't you know that scores of
thousands of people have changed
bad stomachs into perfect working
ones by the simple method of swal-
lowing one or two little MI-O-NA
stomach tablets after each meal?
MI-O-NA is compounded from the
formula of what is probably the best
prescription for Indigestion and up
set stomach ever written, and G. w.
Peil, the druggist, guarantees it.
1t relieves distress in five minutes,
but better still, it removes the cause
of misery in a few days.

Havana, May 31.-President Gomez
tonight telegraphed General Montea-

might permit the American marines to
land on Cuban soil and guard foreign
property. The dispatch added the Gu
ban forces might retire from guarding
such places and devote themselves to
pursuing the insurgents.

day received advices from Daiquiri
that the plant Of an iron company had
been attacked and the assailants were

were later reinforced and drove off the

New York, May 31.--An additional

demonstration marked with disorder

Hotel Workers Union to enforce recog-

increased pay and improvements in
working conditions.
In many places dining rooms were
closed and in some places crews were
made up from other hotel employees,
college boy recruits and negroes.
Four hundred strikers marched and
halted in front of Delmonicos, shouting
at walters who refused to join them.
The police cowed and dispersed the
mob.

an orderly manner.
Several members of the Hotel Mems

opinion that while ii would be pos

the south, it was unlikely that the
white walters would be generally re-

He declared vehemently that their
treatment of him was an outrage, but
acknowledged that he would be glad
to have some of them back.

Chicago, May ol.--Col. Harry 5. N ew,

ports and controversies the committee
would follow the system of seat dis
tribution in vogue four years ago and
previously in handling applications for

manager: Regarding the Roosevelt

Therefore, l will have no controversy

Dixon may take his demand for $50
tickets to the Republican national con-
vention to the national committee
News excuse for not granting the re-
quest for the tickets is that they are
not for the personal use of Roosevelt
but for the Roosevelt national com
mittee and the demand was refused
the same as applications of managers
of other presidential candidates. Col
New further said:
Il wish to deny Senator Dixon's pub
lie statement that he asked for 25C
tickets for the personal use of Col
Roosevelt. The telegram which I re-
ceived read: For the use of the Roose-

Havana, Cuba, May 31.-Americans
in Cuba do not believe that President
Gomez can quell without the aid of
the United States, the present rebel
lion. Twice before has it been neces-
sary for Uncle Sam to intervene,
the situation now seems TO be about
as serious as it ever has been in the
past.
The trouble is that Cubans are not
fit for self-zovernment. They lack in
teIligence and self-r restraint. A ma
ioritv of the population seems bent
on holding office, and this is as true
with the blacks as with the Spanish
element, In fact, one of the imme-
date causes of the present uprising is
The discomfort of the negroes Who 60
rot think they are getting their share

In this respect would mean the speedy

tonoz is believed here to Indicate that

Positive assurances have been re-

that force of Cuban troops has been
sent to guard the property Of the Span
ish-American Mining Co, at Daiquiri,
on the south coast of Oriente.

the executive, without further legisla-
ton, has ample authority for interven-
ton in Cuba. He so advised the Gu
