The Wayne County House was
Honesdale's first hostelry. Pictures
are herewith shown of the original
tavern and the present modern and
fine three story brick structure. The
first hotel was completed in 1928
and Charles Forbes was the first
owner and landlord. 1t was located
at the corner of Park and Main
street. the site of the present hotel.
1t was 90 by 100 feet, two stories
high and was favorite stopping
place in stage coach days. 1t is said
that Hotel Wayne or the Wayne
County House as it was formerly
known, has accommodated more
guests than an. hCtel in this section
of the State. THIS is verified by the
fact that it wls the Only hotel for
several years.
During Mr.. Forbes lordship his
daughter, Miss Lucy Ann, was mar
ried to Zenas H. Russell, Septem-
Der II, 1880, in the Wayne County
House. That part now ,omDines
the northern portion OF Hotel
Wayne, which was a part of the ori-
ginal building. Mr. and Mrs. q. H.
Russell were the parents of Henry
q. Russell, now president of the
Honesdale National Bank.
Mr.. Forbes rented his hotel to
Henry Dart in 1S40, and the latter
purchased the property five years
later. 1t remained in his possession
until 1857, when he removed to Rock
Island, III. The following have since
been landlords: J. b. Hazleton, J. B.
Eldred, Reed & Ball, Henry Ball
Braman Bros. d. o. Jones, Fred j.
Skeels and Henry Brown.
John H. Weaver became the pop
ular and congenial proprietor of the
Wayne County House property in
1891. The following year he erect
ed the handsome and commOdious
structure. 1t is of buff brick with
the name-Hotel Wayne-inlaid
in brown brick facing Main and
Park streets. 1t is one of the
most beautiful buildings in Homes
dale. The hotel is modern in all its
appointments and is located in one
of the most picturesque parts of
Honesdale. The second photograph
shows Hotel Wayne in the back
ground of one of the many beauti-
full vistas in Honesdale.
Mr.. Weaver had charge of the ho-
tel until about two years ago when
he leased the place TO A. G. Loomis,
of Deposit, N. Y. The latter, after
a years business at the old stand,
was succeeded by Barlow & Elmen-
dorf, the present lessees. These
gentlemen thoroughly understand the
business and without a doubt will
make success of their venture.
Hotel Wayne, or the Wayne Coun-
ty House as ii was formerly known,
entertained number of distinguish
ed guests in its day. Way back in
the early history of the town when
Philip Hone after whom Honesdale
was named, and Washington Irving
visited this place, then known as
Dyberry Forks, this hotel was visited
by these notables. HOratiO Allen
the engineer of the Stourbridge
Lion, the first locomotive to turn a
wheel on the American continent
which occurred at Honesdale Aug
s, 1929 also stopped at this hotel
Since then other men of prominence
have made this hostelry their
abode

REACH AGREEMENT
Men Sacrifice Sliding Scale of Wages
to Prevent Increase in Scale Rates
of % Cents n Ton, as Proposed
by the Operators.


Scranton, Pa, April 25.-Announce-
ment made in this city that the mine
workers and operators committees con.
ferring in New York over the demands
submitted by the former over a month
ago had come to an agreement and that
tridistrict convention would be called
Immediately to ratify the action Of the
committee was pleasing alike to min
ers, operators and people in general.
The agreement, embodying a fat 10
per cent Increase, abolition Of the slid
ing scale, abolition of the conciliation
board and minor form of recognition
through the settlement Of all griev-
ances through committees of union
men at the various collieries created
some surprise, particularly that feature
of 1t abolishing the sliding scale, which
during its life of ten years has yearly
added considerably to the miners in
comes. The agreement will stand for
four years instead of three, as hereto
fore.
Generally members of the union are
pleased with the result of the negotia-
tions, and they say that the calling of
a convention to hear the report of the
subcommittee is pure formality, made
necessary by the laws of the union.
While notices have not yet been sent
out for a tridistrict convention, they
will probably go out today, and 1t is
expected that the gathering will be
held in Wilkesbarre on Monday next
Prompt ratification of the agreement
will follow, so that work can be re-
sumed May If the companies desire
to resume operations in the middle OF
the week. That this will be the case
seems almost assured, for there Is a
shortage Of coal not only abroad, but
locally, where domestic sizes are sell
ing for 81 and $3.50 per ton more than
they were a month ago.
The action Of the miners committee
in refusing to accept an agreement
which would allow the operators to in
crease tho price Of coal % cents ton
! has won fOr them the commentator
Of the pubic. If it had not been fol
! this hitch the agreement would have
! been signed earlier as the details were
all agreed upon by both sides to the
controversy. When the agreement was
ready to be signed the operators de
INJURED and refused to sign unless the
miners agreed to allow the price to b,
boosted, the agreement being baseC
upon an increase Of 5.26 per cent il
wages in addition to the sliding scale
which was to be based on price O
$4.75 per ton at tidewater instead o.
$780, which now prevails. The mel
made counter proposition agreeing t

was agreed.
All local mines are in readiness t,

are far behind with orders.

The following is clipped from the
Port Jervis Union. 1t was incor-
porated in an improvement article:
"A short time ago the Gazette had
an article on Painting Poles 1t
praised Honesdale |. A. saying they
were alive up there. Now Port
Jervis takes nObody's dust! We
know if Honesdale can have painted
poles, we can. The idea is, the un-
slightly poles do not show, when
painted green, so plainly, as they
do unpainted They mix in with
the summer foliage of the trees and
are more pleasing"

SLEEVE FOR CoRN-cUTTING.

When cutting corn by hand, with
a sled. or in setting up after a
binder. great deal Of the carrying
will be performed by the one arm.
As the continued rubbing of the
stalks and leaves rapidly wears
holes through the cloth OF an or
binary garment special protection
for this one arm is required.
We have found very economical
way Of providing this extra sleeve
by utilizing the trouser-legs OF old
overalls. This portion OF the gar
ment is cut to the proper length and
so as to fit not only over the arm,
but also over the shoulder, side and
chest. This is held to the arm By
means of an overall suspender pass
ing around the body Just beneath
the other arm. This allows the arm
free movement and at the same
time holds the sleeve firmly in
place.
As it keeps wearing through, adj
ditional patches can be added to L
1t thus becomes anything but a
comely attirement, as would any
other garment; but has the decided
advantage of being cool as compar-
ed to an entire overshirt. as well as
being easily put on and removed up
on entering and leaving the field.

GREEN ONIONS FOR SPRING.

ripened. 1t is hardy as an oak and

It is not of particularly high quality

regularly and freely found in our
markets in early spring. From
Maryland south the Potato onion IS
generally grown as green onion,
and bulbs or bulblets should be
planted in the fall. The rows may
be made from twelve to sixteen inch

RESTING THE HANDS.

Do you ever rest your hands?This
does not mean merely letting thein
lie idle. 1t often occurs that after
some kinds OF work, such as peeling
fruit, sweeping or perhaps when ono
has been writing for some time the
muscles OF the hands feel cramped
and tired.
A good soaking in hot water is
the first step toward relieving them.
After that is done. dip them quick
ly up and down in cold water sey-
eral times. dab them dry on rough
towel--do not wipe them-and then,
letting hands and fingers hang per-
fectly loose from the wrist, "flirt"
them vigorously until the wrists be-
gin TO ache.
Dip them again in cold wate-.
spend few minutes on the care Of
the nails, and you will be surprised
to find how fresh and rested you
feel. not only in your hands. but all
over. The hands are the most sea-
sitive part of the body. and in their
freshness or WEAKNESS lies much Of
the secret of the whole physical
condition.
