Cut Glass company. Possession CIV
en- Immediately. Consideration pri-
vate.
The Crystal Cut Glass company is
only four months old. Since incor-
poration it has grown rapidly until
its present quarters in the Farnham
building is inadequate for it's vol
ume of increased business. The
company has payroll of $1,000 per

ped with an American Ball engine,
so horse power, and 100-horse power
boiler; is steam heated and has
electric lights. The basement is con-
creted. Excellent display, stock
rooms and an office constitute part
of the first floor space. The board
of directors of the Crystal Cut Glass

ing local persons: President and
treasurer, DR.. p. B. Peterson; vice.
president, Charles P. Schuller, New
York City; secretary, Benjamin w.

corporators will enjoy the benefits
and privileges granted them in their
charter.

glass center. 1t Is here that buyers
of large houses of the leading cities
in the country come and make their
purchases. The prospects for a
bright year in this particular line is
exceedingly promising.

BOYS PLAYED LIKE OLD
TIMERS
First Appearance of Jenkins Band in
HOneSdaIe


Did you hear Jenkins boy band at
the Lyric last Tuesday night?
Well, If you didn't, you missed one
of the finest treats of your life. And
say, the Lyric theatre was jammed
full to the doors and some were COM
PEELED to stand throughout the en-
tire performance, which consisted of
moving pictures and the rendition of
music by the band, but they didn't
mind that as long as they heard
Jenkins boy band. 1t was great.
Twenty young men, and all under
II years of age, played like "old-
timers" The music filled Lyric
theatre and the boys were heartily
applauded. Some of the boys never
played musical instruments until
their first practice four months ago,
and then they thought they would
never learn to play because the horn
'tickled their lips" Others put the
mouthpiece right in their mouths,
but by persistent effort on the part of
the boys under the personal super
vision of Robert NJ. Dorm, jenkins
band has taken the town by storm.
Feeling the need of a deeper in
terest of music in Honesdale
prompted F. A. Jenkins to organ
ize the boys band, which is not only
appreciated by the townspeople but
reflects great credit upon the organ
izer and owner of the band.
The band is composed of the fol-
lowing young men. The list also
designates what instrument each
player manipulates:
Cornets-Raymond Faatz, Carl
Wagner, Mortimer Stocker, Harland
Jackson, William eager.
Piccalo-Raymond Short.
Baritone-Robert l.. Dorm.
E. Bass-William Miller, Edward
Leine.
B Bass-Robert Reifler.
Clarinet-Harold Mullaney, John
Hawker.
Trombone-Charles Kreitner, Clar-
ence Mundy, Edward Stegner.
Alto-William Kelz, Vernard Nc
Ardle
Snare Drum-Albert Theobald.
Bass Drum-Vincent Carroll.
Gym mbals-Lawrence Weidner.
The boys have been engaged for
Memorial Day, at which time it is ex-
pected they will be uniformed. The
band should be patronized whenever
possible, for next to baseball team
good band is the best advertise
ment for a town.

Government Sues II Local Corpora
tiOnS

For failure to report. their net in
comes to Internal Revenue Collector
McCoach forty-one corporations were
made defendants in suits amounting
to $4,000 which were begun Sat
urday by United States District Attor-
ney Thompson. In accordance with
a law passed in 1909 all corporations
are required to submit sworn state
ment of the amount of business

rived therefrom as the excise tax is

large number of other corporations,
failed to do this and were notified by
the Collector that they would be sub
ject to fine of from $1,000 to $10,-
900 unless they complied with the
law Many firms made a satisfactory
settlement, but the forty-one corpor-
ations did not heed the warning.

CHURCH NOTES.

Palm Sunday is again at hand In
terest in the day which begins a
week of solemn and awful memories,
is being manifested in all our
churches, where special services and
special music will be the order of
the day.
In the Roman Catholic church the
day is characterized by a striking
sermonial, The Blessing of the
Palms" which takes place at the be-
ginning of the " high mass" of the
day.
The ceremony of blessing and dis
tributing palms and other green
branches on this Sunday is conse-
Grated by the venerable tradition of
many centuries. There is evidence
that the feast of Palms was observed
in the East, as early as the fifth CEN
tury.
In st. Johns Lutheran church the
day will be observed with special in
terest. At the chief service, 1890
a. m, class of twenty-five young
men and maidens will be confirmed.
This is sort of reconsecration, a
form of service in which the children
consciously confirm and ratify the
covenant they unconsciously entered
into when they were baptized. Fol-
lowing are the names of those who
are about to be confirmed:
Edward C. Rippel, Frederick B.
Moser, John C. Rowe, Arthur A
Kassell, Chas. L. Hartman, George

Osaka, Japan, will speak at Grace
Episcopal church Friday evening, at
1880 o'clock, telling of his interest
ing work in one of the principal
cities of Papan. He is an old Di-
vicinity school friend of the Rector,
having graduated from Berkeley Di-
vinity school, Middletown, Conn, in
1896, one year earlier than the Rec
tor.
Instead of the Thursday afternoon
service, which will be omitted, a

new YORK FOR TAFT
Roosevelt Badly Beaten at Primary
OF 30 Delegates to Chicago 80
Are for President.

New York.-Crushing defeat for
Theodore Roosevelt Such is the
indicated result at the direct primary
election held Tuesday for the choice
or delegates to the Republican ma
nonal convention. Early returns
pointed to a complete rout OF the
erstwhile Rough Rider" in every
district where there was a contest.
Republican organization leaders
declared that they would control SO
OF the 80 delegates to the conven-
ton.
Stormy scenes marked the election
and stormier scenes still will mark
the fight to have it declared illegal.
Failure on the part of the printer to
finish the huge ballot on time depriy-
ed at least a third of the enrolled
voters who desired to register their
preference in the important contest
of the privilege of voting.
In scores of districts the ballots did
not arrive until seven o'clock, three
hours after the time fixed by law for
the opening of the polls, and in
many they did not arrive at all and
hundreds of persons who we're eager
to take part in the election growled
and swore at the new primary law
and the exactions it made in the way
of primary ballots.
Roosevelt men, scenting defeat,
first declared the Taft forces were
preparing to steal" the election.
Before leaving the city for his. west
ern trip Mr.. Roosevelt said the elee-
tion was wicked farce"
When the returns were in in sufi-
cient number to show a complete col
lapse of the Roosevelt movement.
they asserted that the primary was
an insult, and added that it was
such a "howling" farce that Gov.
Dix should call a special session of
the Legislature to fix a date for an
other primary.
Returns from the Twenty-sixth
Congressional district, where there
was contest, indicate a victory for
the Republican organization candi-
dates to the Chicago convention by a
vote of four to one. Former Cover
nor Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., is elected
member of the Republican State
Committee over Hamilton Fish, Jr.
The first primary returns received
at Republican county headquarters
gave the organization candidates III
votes to 26 for the Roosevelt dele
gates. County Chairman Koenig
claimed that returns from 75 out of
S55 election districts indicated or
ganization victory in every Congress
sional district OF New York City on q
vote ratio of about 8 to /.

Local Surveyors on Susquehanna
ROufe

The local surveying corps, COM
posed of Willis K. Reese, Scranton,
Julius Freund and Robert A. Smith,
Jr., Honesdale, w. E. Bennett, l.. M.
NcFarlane, Scranton, and George
Shattuck, of Susquehanna county,
completed one of the Sproul propos-
ed roads from Honesdale to Mata-
noras, Pike county, on Saturday.
From the Union depot, Honesdale,
to the Matamoras bridge the distance
is 49 and two-tenths miles. 1t is
Al and one-tenth miles from Homes
dale TO the Milford postoffice. The
old turnpike is followed between
these two places to Lords Corners,
Pike county, where the Dark
Swamp road is taken, branching
put on the Dingman turnpike about
seven miles above Milford. Between
Honesdale and Milford the elevation
varies about 800 feet. At the local
union railroad station, Main street,
1T is 1872 feet above tidewater, while
at Milford it is 496 feet. The high
point on this route is about four
miles south of the Blooming Grove
House, when an altitude of 1896
feet was reached.
The average number of feet cover
ed in one day under favorable wealth
or conditions, is $3.50 feet, or one
mile. Where the roadbed is practi-
eally level, like going through a
town, twice this distance can be sur
Feyed in a day.
A sixteen foot road will be built
through the country district, and wild
eT through a town, according to the
provision of the Sproul bill.
The surveying corps was ordered to
Prompton Monday by A. w. Long,
Scranton, district superintendent.
From Prompton the route goes to
whites Valley and from thence to
Herrick Center, to Susquehanna,
Susquehanna county, which is an
other county seat.

his eyesight was not the best, but he
finally succeeded in picking out a
youngster who was aiding very strenu-
ously in the noise making.
The aged man walked over to the
child, took it by the hand and walked
back to the apartment. When he
reached the doorway he turned to the
child and said:
Don't you know it's against the
law to make SO much noise?"
Yes, sir" was the meek reply.

be arrested and put in Jail, and then
you can never be president Of the
