FATHER JOHN O'TOOLE AD-
DRESSES MEMBERS OF X. OF @.
One Hundred X. of C.'s Attend in a
Body-Narrates History of our
Country From Time of Its
Discovery by Columbus,

At the 1890 service at st. Johns
r. c. church on Sunday the knights
of Columbus of Honesdale enjoyed an
eloquent sermon by the pastor, Rev
Father John O'Toole. The Knights,
hundred in number, met at their
hall in the Keystone block and
marched to the church in a body.
Father O'Toole is an eloquent and
fOrceful speaker and his hearers
were well repaid for their attend
ance. He chose for his subject,
God Guides Mankind in the Great
Crises of History" He traced the
wonderful growth of our country
from the discovery, by Columbus to
the present day, rendering glowing
tribute to the deeds of Catholic pa
triots as they have been recorded on
the pages of history. He portrayed
Columbus in his modesty in not
naming the new continent after him
self, his difficulties and his suffer-
ings and finally his success through
the aid of Queen Isabella. He said
in part: Although there were Irish
navigators, like st. Brendon, and
Danish warriors, like Ericsson, who
antedated Columbus in making set
Elements on this continent, it was
DOluulbuo dlOut, " llO ODtutu IL W
the world and to him, therefore, is
due the glory and tribute from
posterity. The three most illustrious
and immortal figures on the first
page of American history are a lady,
a sailor, and a monk, typefying
Faith, Hope and Charity. The most
important page of history during
modern times was the discovery of
America, the next important page of
history was the American Revolu-
tion. The people threw down the
rule of George III, and raised up the
rule of the people. Liberty is Gods
greatest gift to man. Christian lib
erty is freedom to do good for the
Lords sake and for the sake of man.
Civic liberty, religious freedom and
the education of the people make the
life blood of this republic" The
Stars and Stripes are the eloquent
and emblazonment of human liberty.
He brought in incidents of the great
Civil war, painting the deeds of
Grant and Sheridan and the deeds of
the Catholic heroes whose work is
recorded in the pages of history from
the time of the discovery by Column
bus. AS whole it was a very able
address and brought out the fact
that a great many Catholic people
were foremost in the development
OF this great country of ours.

HONESDALE WOMEN VOTE
ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Only One in Representative Party
Favors Right to Vote-Improve-
ment Association Hold In
taPaStinD Session
teresting Session.

Women Suffrage was discussed at
the Improvement meeting, Monday,
after a letter had been received from
a New York lady who wants to come
to Honesdale and give an address on
Woman's Rights" The letter was
read by Miss Caroline Petersen, who
presented the matter before the
members for a vote. OF the number
present only one vote was cast in the
affirmative. Evidently Honesdale is
not ready for women to vote.
The meeting was held at the home
of Mrs. w. b. Holmes and a goodly
number of members were in attend
ance.
A very favorable report was made
from members having given chain
teas. One party presented the asso-
citation with $3.50, it being the larg-
est amount ever to have been given
at one time. 1t was stated that the
end of the chain teas was not yet.
Back dooryard cleaning up was
discussed and action was taken re-
questing the people to get their prop
critics in a sanitary condition. A
communication was received by the
chairman Of the State Civic commit
tee, which contained considerab BILE
valuable information. Many ques-
tions were also asked.
A letter was received from the
Bell Telephone company in which the
management stated that the few
poles that were not painted would be
given attention in the spring. The
association hopes that the Consoli-
dated Telephone company will fol-
low suit.
1t was suggested by visiting
lady that an ice skating park be
made in Honesdale for the pleasure
of the school children and young peo-
pie. The river often times contains
air holes and makes skating danger
Gus Central Park was suggested as
a possible place. 1t is claimed that
flooding the ground does not injure
the trees nor grass. The idea, it was
expressed, will be carried out, if
possible, in Honesdale next winter.

MRS. FRIEDEWALD RECITEs.
Fashionable Audience Hears the
"Riders of the Sea- and the
Far Away Princess"

Mrs. Salo Friedewald, of Scran-
ton, the talented reader, entertained
fair-sized audience of book lovers
at the High school building on Sat
urday afternoon. The meeting last
ed one hour and closed in time for
Mrs. Friedewald to leave for Scran-
ton on the 4:40 train. Mrs. Friede-
wald is a splendid speaker and her
recitals are both helpful and instruc-
tive as well as entertaining. Her
first recital on Saturday afternoon
was on the Riders of the Sea-" a
story by j. NJ. Synge, of a mother
who has lost her sons on the sea,
who is overwrought by the deep
tragedy of life so that she is cal
losed to showing grief when the
news of her last sons death is brok-
en- to her. The deep tragedy underly-
ing the simple lives of the people
was well brought out in the recital.
A poem, Lost Love-" by Andrew
Lang, was read, after which Mrs.
Friedewald recited the Far Away
Princess" a story in one act, written
by Herman Suderman. In her COM
ment on the works of Suderman, she
says: 1T is these one-act things that
strike the high note of the success OF
Suderman." In the Far Away Prin-
cess" she brings out the thought that
it is the unattainable which makes us
happy, the unfulfilled desire, the
longing, that makes us reach out to
that far away ideal.

In his letter, it is alleged, that he
is with a band of highwaymen and
has been with them since leaving
Scranton. He says that after he
left his wife and son that he was
sand-bagged. a bag placed over his
head and that was the last that he
realized anything until he awoke in
Cincinnati, Ohio. He states that he
was then told that he was a captive
and would have to do as he was
bade. From Cincinnati Rev. Signor
writes, it is alleged, that he will go
to Milwaukee with his captors,
where a hold-up is expected to take
place. Mr.. Signor claimed that he is
held in close confinement when not
out with the gang. He claimed that

New York, Feb 27.-Three ban
dts, Edward Kinsman, Jeff Abruzvo,
and Gene Montanio, who held up two
messengers of the East River Ma
tional Bank two weeks ago and rob-
bed them of $4,000, were arrested
in their boarding house last night
They were given a hearing and held
without bail.
Their arrest was made through the
cleverness of Mrs. Goodwin, wife OF
a former Police Sergeant, who hired
out as a dishwasher in the boarding
house where the bandits stayed.
Montanio, who was the driver OF
the taxicab, kept company with a
woman by the name of Hoyt. They
had some trouble and Montanio had
nothing more to do with his former
sweetheart. Miss Hoyt told Mrs.
Goodwin about the holdup, which led
to the arrest.

81 YEARS AN ENGINEER.

Michael +. Fritz, the veteran rail-
road man of this place, celebrated
his thirty-fourth year as an engineer
on Thursday last and as a fitting
celebration of the event he attended
the Martha Washington supper at
the Presbyterian church.
Mr.. Fritz is a man of 5S years OF
age and has been a resident OF
Honesdale for about five years, hav-
ing been a resident of Port Jervis
before coming here. About a year
ago Mr.. Fritz was credited with a
clear record and as a reword his
name was put on the engine he now
drives. By a clear record is meant
that ne has never been called to the
office, never passed a signal, never
disobeyed orders and never had a
wreck. The Erie has this way OF
showing their appreciation of good
work and every man who can show
clear record and as a reward his
honor.
Michael F. Fritz was born in
Corning, n. Y, on September IA,
1853. Since July 9, 1869, when he
began his railroad career as a
brakeman, he has been in the SER
vice of the Erie up to the present or
for 43 years. He has been a brake
man, a tlagman, a conductor, and
lastly an engineer. 1t was in this
last capacity that he served thirty
four years. Mr.. Fritz has the run
from Honesdale to Lackawaxen.
Before coming to Honesdale he had
the run from Susquehanna, Pa, to
Port Jeryis, n. Y. This is a re-
markable record and his many
friends both here and in the railroad
circles congratulate him.

camp said DR.. Cook. He made
more serious charges against Peary
which startled the audience to say
the least, and said he was ready and
could prove them to their satisfac-
ton.
He told of Peary's coming to the
telegraph station at Labrador long
after he (Cook) had wired the world
of his discovery of the pole of
Peary taking a copy of his proofs
led there, taking them back into the
hills, and coming back week later,
filing at the telegraph office proofs
which followed so closely those of
DR.. Cook that scientific men remark
ed about the sameness.
DR.. Cook paid his respects to the
National Geographical Society and
informed the audience that any one
within hearing of his voice, or any
person on the streets, could become
a member of that great National
Geographical Society by the pay
ment of 50. He also told of sub
mitting his proofs TO the University
of Copenhagen and the report that
positive proof had not been made"
He said that positive proof of hav-
ing been at the identical spot de-
signated as the pole is impossible to
get.
Then he took up the Mt. Mckinley
incident and used that as an illustra-
tion to show the great campaign that
has been waged to discredit him.
He declared that he climbed Mt. Nc
Kinley and reached the top and that
Burrill was with him, and that Bur-
rill told it for over three years, and
took delight in claiming half the
glory. He also told of the bribes
that were offered Burrill to make an
affidavit that they had not climbed
Mt Mckinley; of his refusal of ST.
600, and finally the acceptance of
that which was equal to $4,000.
Dates, places and people who wit
messed the attempts at bribery, all
were given without hesitancy Dr.
Cook said that he is ready to back
up his claims with reasonable proofs,
with his own money, and with my
fists If necessary" he concluded
IF these statements are not true,
then the prison doors will open for
me-" he said.
In closing he said that all he asks
is fair play, which he is sure the
great American people will give him.
Il don't want to be rear admir-
al, l dOn want any unearned pay
from the government; / don't want
congress to present me with any
medals, or the politicians to fix
things up for me; al | want is the
credit for what l honestly striYed to
accomplish and which | succeeded in
doing, and that is being the first to
reach the North Pole, and | believe
that | will be accorded this honor by
the people of the world"
The majority of the people in the
audience left the theatre with the
| feeling mat in the years to come DR..
Cook will be the acknowledged dis
Coverer of the North Pole, IL any
one is credited with that distinc-
ton.
Only one other Arctic explorer be-
side DR.. Cook has visited Honesdale,
and that was Bayard Taylor. He
came here in 1860 and told of his
visits among the Laplanders, Nor
wegian and Swedish people. Ex-
plorer Taylor was pedestrian. He
Travelled all through Germany. He
was born in 1925 and died in 1878.

them two years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Signor are glad to
hear that their son is alive, but are
hoping and praying that he might be
delivered out of the hands of his
enemies.
Rev. Watson Z. Signor, at the
time of his disappearance in Scran-
ton July 10, 1911, was pastor of the
Orson Methodist Episcopal church.
He accompanied his family to Scran-
ton that afternoon, leaving them at
$50 o'clock. Not a word has been
heard from Mr.. Signor nor the
slightest clue obtained of his where
abouts since he registered a package
at the Lackawanna Laundry, Scran-
ton, last summer, until the letter
claimed to have been received by
his father, Vincent Signor, in
townsville, Sullivan county, n. Y, a
few days ago.
