state Normal Notes.

The attendance at the State Normal
School continues to increase, and it is
probable that the total enrolment for
the fall term will equal the enrolment
for both Fall and Winter Terms for
last year
Nearly every East Tennessee County
is represented, and the reports from
the county superintendent indicate
that large number of teachers will
enter the Normal School with the
several counties.
Young women in the dOrmitory are
very enthusiastic because of the SPLEEN
did lodging and boarding accommoda-
tions they find. Rooms in the dormi-
tory cost students only So month, and
the cost of board is only about &c. 25 a
week. Men secure board at the same
rates, but, as no dormitory has been
built for them by the State they get
lodging in private homes at cost of
81. 90 week.
The Winter Term will open Monday,
December 3, at which time it is ex-
pe1ted there will be a very large in
crease in the enrolment. President
Sidney &. Gilbreath. in speaking of
the work of the School says, "We are
having a very successful year. The
rollment is good and represents a very
fine body of Students who are enthusi-
astic in their work. We have super
ior faculty of men and women who are
loyal to the best interests of the
School, and zealously laboring to i'm
prove public school conditions in East
Tennessee. Our greatest need. at this
time, is for larger dormitory accommo-
dations for the students and for larger
room for our Agricultural and Science
work. We hope and believe that the
just elected, will prompt
ly respond to the needs of the public
elementary schools by providing ample
and equipment for the
Normal School, which is engaged in
one work of preparing teachers for
more effective service"

THE DUTY TO SAVE LIFE.

Captain Lord, of the Californian,
and his officers are tolerably certain
to have to stand a trial for his fail
ure, in a measure shared by them,
to follow up the distress signals from
the Titanic which were seen on his
vessel and reported to him.
The evidence taken in London con-
firms what had been already known
from testimony here, first that the
distress rockets from the Titanic
were seen from the bridge and deck
of the Californian to the number of
at least five; second, that later her
masthead and upper deck lights were
seen with a list of starboard under
conditions which pointed to grave ac-
cident, and third, word Of this was
sent to the sleeping captain, who
asked enough to learn that the sig
mails were white, distinctly distress
signals. All this was Intentionally
left out of the log of the Californian.
Had either Captain Lord, Chief
officer Stewart or Second Officer
Stone called the sleeping wireless
operator to his key, the Californian
would have been alongside of the
Titanic two hours before she sank
and probably saved every life.
The common law makes it a crime
to fail to use reasonable means and
effort to save human life, known to
be in danger. An English statute
makes it a crime in case of ship
wreck. Our own law corresponds to
the English common law. So does
the code of most States. In this
State, father has been convicted of
involuntary manslaughter for failing
to send for a physician for a sick
child.
Captain Lord by the ruling and
reasoning of the court in this case
would be liable for his failure to
answer the Titanic signals. Their
terrible meaning was known at ten
minutes before six the next morning
when the wireless operator on the
Californian sent out a general call
and learned that the Titanic had
struck a berg and had sunk five

TAFT WILL WIN, SAYS SENATOR
PENROSE.
Despite Roosevelt Successes i'm Pri.
maries, Senator Insists Presi-
dent VIII he Victor.

Philadelphia, June 6.-Tncreasing
prospects of a fight-to-a-finish at the
Republican national convention, at
Chicago, have led Senator Boies
Penrose to change his plans. He will
be present at the first meeting of the
national committee and will probably
remain there until all of the dele
gate contests and all of the conven-
tion preliminaries have been arrang-
ed to the satisfaction of the Taft ad-
herents.
In spite of the recent Roosevelt
successes at the primaries of several
states, Senator Penrose, who came to
Philadelphia from Washington, still
holds to the opinion that Taft forces
will control the convention from
start to finish. He declares that the
most reliable advices indicate that
the Rough Rider candidate is still at
least one hundred votes away from
convention control. The indications
are also, he declares, that the Taft
forces are standing fast If they do,
Taft will be the nominee on the first
ballot, according to the senator.
Senator Penrose is even more en-
phatic in his opinion that Senator
Elihu Root, of New York, will be
the temporary chairman of the con-
vention in spite of the opposition of
the Roosevelt forces.

SWAT THE FLY.

Flies carry more germs and carry
more sickness than anything else we
know.
Flies walk over manure and vile
dirt and then come into your house
and walk on the food you are going
to eat. They leave this dirt on your
food. Do you want to eat after the
fly walks there?
Kill the flies you see.
Keep everything clean in your
house and your yard.
Have screens in all doors and win
dows and fly traps on doors and
garbage pals. Keep all food covered
and have no dirty dishes for flies to
feed upon. Do not let a fly touch
anything which a baby puts into its
mouth.
Keep your milk bottles covered and
wash as soon as empty.

Honesdale is a beautiful town is
true but it takes something more
substantial to erect summer boarding
houses. There are many sites locat-

make ideal locations for cottages
and boarding houses for the accom-

ABOUT FLIES,

Nobody likes to think of flies. But
the best way not to be compelled to
think about them a whole lot later
on is to be little advance thinking
now. We hear a good deal about
by traps right now. The other day,
in a magazine, was a picture of a
boy and a heap of flies, and a fly
trap which the boy had used to catch
the flies. There was something like
$4,000 flies in that heap, The boy
won a prize of S25 offered for the
largest catch Of flies. Fly traps and
fly swatters, of course, have their
use. But they are the pound of
cure" Wouldn't it be far better not
to have so many flies to catch or
swat?
Here is the ounce of prevention:
Don't give the flies a chance to breed
in your immediate vicinity. Clean
up. Keep cleaned up. Allow no
manure or garbage about your
house. Use plenty of soap and wa
ter inside of the house. Teach the
children the value of cleanliness.
Teach them, also, not to leave doors
open, so that when the screen door
is open they will be thoughtful
enough to close it when they go in
or out. Keep all foods covered, for
if there is no filth around flies will
feed on your edibles and infect them
from attic to cellar. Leave no way
of ingress for the fly and you will
have no cause to complain of his
company.
Too many people are stingy about
screens. Stinginess in screens means
either that you are not getting suffi-
cient air into your house because
you dare not open unscreened doors
and windows, or that you are letting
in filth and disease with the flies
when the unscreened windows and
doors are open. If you can't afford
good wire screens fitted to every
window, tack netting across the
window frames. It's cheap and will
last until cold weather kills the flies.
1t is not necessary to fill the house
with nasty fly traps, poisoned fly
paper or to organize the children
into a swatting brigade. Keep the
flies out of the house and keep the
place clean-that's all.

who have died up to date, his death
was a natural one. 1t was a strange
manifestation of the irony of fate
that where others, whom he showed

its pitfall. The secret was that he
knew when he had enough. He asw

WHITE MILLS.
"Todd" Smith Quicker Than Light
ning-Jumps From Window as 1t
Enters His HOme-BasebalI
Team Ready to "Play
Ball"
Especial to The Citizen }
Whita Mills. June


White Mills, June 6.
The White Mills band went to
Hawley on Decoration Day and sew
eral of the boys attended the ball
game.
The White Mills base ball grounds
are in a first-class condition. Louis
Popke took the contract to get it
in readiness but some days it was a
| little too wet for him to make much
progress. However, the boys are
well satisfied with the job.
We are now ready for base ball
to all comers. Sunday will be our
| first game between Honesdale and
White Mills. This will be the open
ing game of the season. Jack Hen
sey, the manager, says that his boys
are all in the pink of condition. For
the past two years base ball in
White Mills has been somewhat
slow owing to the fact that the peo-
pie who like to see a good game of
ball have not come out with the
goods. Our boys are mostly factory
boys who work six days a week and
when they play for the pleasure of
the town and vicinity we must be a
little more liberal towards its sup
port. The more money they have
the better teams we will be able to
get, consequently better base ball.
About three years ago we had very
fast ball team, with John Dorflinger
as manager. John says with the
younger players mixing in with the
old time players, that the new team
looks more promising then it has
for a number of years.
The thunder storm of Sunday
evening was very severe in this vi
cinity. The lightning struck Clar-
enCe Smiths house and Todd, as he
is called, as the lightning came in
one window jumped out the other
just in time to save himself from be-
ing struck by it. He, however, felt
both the shock of the electricity and
the high jump and had the town
been wired with the fire alarm Todd
would have sent one in to see the
boys go.
Joseph McCloskey of Hawley call
ed in town on Tuesday on business.
The Modern Woodmen of Ameri-
ca, No. 10959, held their Memorial
Day on Sunday. They went to In
dian Orchard cemetery at 1890 and
returned in time to take the 3
o'clock train for Hawley to decorate
the graves of their deceased breth-
ern. They were led by the White
Mills band.

dale on Monday to call on friends.
