SHOEMAKER NEVER SLEEPS.

John Lukus, Archie Perry, John
Brink and w. j. Bryant were fishing
at Miller's pond the first of the week.
They came to Herrick Center Tues
day evening and were at Flynn's
hotel for supper when a stranger
walked up and demanded to see their
fish. They willingly complied with
the request when the aforesaid
stranger produced a rule and found
eight of their catch undersize. The
stranger announced that he was W.
e. Shoemaker of Laceyville, and he
was a state game warden, and that
their presence was desired in Judge
Bowelps court, whittier the fishermen
went. The judge imposed a modest
fine of $50, or $40 for each fish, and
50 were assessed for trimmings.
The fish, it is said, were II " inches
in length, being " an inch less than
legal size.-Forest City News.

ADDITIONAL PAVE TESTIMONY

NEVILLE HOLGATE says: l
heartily approve of the proposition
We are in progressive world today.
By all means pave.
WILL ii. KILLER says: Yes, and
the sooner it's done the better. In
answer to your second question:
First, save the money that the town
now plants in mud, but which never
sprouts again. Second, add greatly
to the appearance of the town, and
so secure the respect of visitors
Third, cleaner streets and therefore
a healthier town.
w. j. Ref says: Have been pay
ing taxes for good streets for 80
years; nothing to show for it but
mud. l want to see something for
the money-paving will do the trick.
The foundation of live and beauti-
full city is paved streets. Let us put
in the foundation.
r. f. SCHUYLER says: 1 think
the paving of Main street will be a
great benefit in general.
j. OSCAR TERRELL says l sure
ly want Main street paved, and am
ready to bear my part to have it
done.
II. SCHUERHOLZ says: l certain
ly am in favor of paving, as it will
have to be done sooner or later; any
way, now is the time as each year S
delay will add to the cost of labor
and material.
REV. @. c. MILLER says: / heart
lily favor any movement that will
benefit our town. Paved streets will.
1t means cleanliness for the town,
lessening of the burden on horses,
wear and tear on vehicles, and en-
hances the beauty of the town.
NJ. e. SDIoNS says: Yes. if coun-
Gil has assurance that the State and
Street Railway will assist to the ex-
tent stated in newspapers. Good
roads or streets are always beneficial
to any municipality, first, because of
the convenience to the travelling pub
lie and second, because good streets
are in the broadest sense the most
economical.
w, j. BARNES says: Yes, provid-
ed there is an economical expendi-
ture of the money and the absolute
elimination of any kind of graft"
in performing the work. 1t would
increase the valuation of property,
add to the health and beauty of the
town, and certainly would be a
great help to the horses which every
spring and fall have to wade so deep
ly in the mud.
DIR. j. w. BALTA says: Paving
of Main street is the most necessary
thing that the town needs. 1t would
be money saving proposition. II
will bring new business to Homes
dale for good roads are always an
advertisement of town.
j. E. RICHMOND says; shall vote
for the immediate paving of Main
street The sooner 1t is done the
better for all concerned. 1t will
enchance the value of property moi

The home and contents of A. s..
Reichel of Green township, Pike
county, were destroyed by fire on
July 4th, the direct cause being due

fire-crackers during the morning and
later the family went to a picnic,
there being no one at home when the
fire started. The building burned to
the ground. Insurance to the
amount of 81 1000 was carried ON the

A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.


The Citizen is glad to record no
accidents as the result of the Fourth
in Honesdale. The safe and sane way
to celebrate the Day of independence
is gaining in popularity with each
succeeding year.
The Fourth in Honesdale was
quiet outside of the ear-splitting
cannon on the cliff, which kept
booming all night, keeping the peo-
pie awake. No accidents were report
ed to physicians. In calling up one
doctor he responded that the people
evidently read The Citizen, which
advocated a safe and sane Fourth.
An open house was observed on
the Golf Links and the ladies serv-
ed lemonade and cookies to guests
and members during the day. In
the afternoon gentlemen's handi-
cap was played, the winner being
Attorney James Mumford. He was
given a handicap of 10 points, his
net score being 81. H. S. Salmon
stood next with SO points to his
credit, having a handicap of 4, and
Rev. Jesse Hermann totaled 108
points, having been given a handi
cap of IA points. A fine silver low
ing cup was awarded to Mr.. Num-
ford, but before he can claim it as
his personal property it will be
necessary for him to win the trophy
once more. Supper was served to
about 20 people.
Nearly 1900 Honesdale and vi
cinity eXcursionists availed them
selves of the picnic at Lake Lodore.
Two base ball games in Homes
dale played between the local team
and Jermyn was the feature of the
day. Each team won game. Re-
port found elsewhere in today's Citi-
zen.

Games Were Hard Fought and Wit
messed by Good Crowd--Morn-
ing Game Went to Jermyn-Good
Games to Come.
Honesdale split even with Jermyn,
last years pennant winners in the
Lackawanna County League, on July
4th. The visitors won a pitchers
battle in the morning, score to 2.
Honesdale won the afternoon game
in a sensational Sth inning batting
rally started by Bennie Hessling.
Each member of the home team bat
ted once, and Hessling, Schilling and
Brader batted twice in this inning,
making eight runs.
The morning game was the best
played game seen here this year,
each team being charged with but
one error. The work of Schilling
and Capt. Brader eXceled for the
home team in both games. Homes
dale scored first in the morning game
on singles by Larson, Mangan and
Lily in the second inning. We got
our second and last run in the fifth
when Schilling and Brader each
hit for two sacks. We had a chance
to win in the seventh inning. Lily
grounded out, Evans to Sharkey,
Lily taking second Schilling hit a
short two-bagger, and Lily was
caught at the home plate, Dole to
Miller. Brader singled but Schilling
was held at third. With Sandy at
the bat it looked good for a tie at
least, and Jermyn called in their
best pitcher, Neary, who forced
Sandy to pop fly to Daley.
Jermyn made their runs, one in
the fifth and two in the seventh and
last inning. In the fifth Dole singled
after Mack struck out. Daley sacri-
feed him to second and Miller singled
bringing him home. In the seventh
they scored two runs and won the
game on a base on balls to Mack,

Frank Dix of Pleasant Mount,
started the afternoon game as pitch
er for the locals, but between poor
support and strangeness of the
crowd, etc., did not make out very
we'll and after pitching four in
nings and Jermyn having made seven
hits and seven runs, Bennie Hessling
went to the mound and allowed but
one hit and no runs for the balance
of the game, and Ben had not had
any practice this week either, hav-
ing been slightly under the wealth
er." Bowman, who pitched for
Jermyn until the eighth inning, did
very we'll but Mr.. Neary thought he
would like to finish the game, and
keep it "on ice," the score at that
time being to 8 in favor of Jer-
myn, so he went in to show the farm
ers here in Honesdale how good
pitcher worked and Immediately met
his waterloo as we made eight runs
in that inning, the whole Jermyn
team seeming to go up in the air
with their pitcher, and when they
came down, the game was ours.
Neary is considered one of the best
pitchers in the valley; but the bet
ter they are the better the locals
seem to like it, for they won out
against Archibald in the same way in
the ninth inning rally against the
best pitcher they could produce on
June 18th.

RONESDALE LOSES TWO
TO FOREST CITY TEAM
SATURDAY ON LOCAL GROUNDS,
LOSE BY SCORE OF 6 TO .
WE LOSE AT WHITE MILLS.
Wm. Vetter Was Put in Box Here
Saturday and Pitched Good Ball
Loll Played at White Mills-Large
Crowd Turned Out.


Crowd Turned Out.
The only man in a base ball game
who is never supposed to make mis-
takes is the umpire; if every player
fielded and batted perfectly nobody
would ever win a game and there
would be no base ball.
The usually dependable Sandy
dropped a hard chance on a foul fly
in the ninth on Saturday and For
est City won in a heart-breaking
game. Score to 5.
We had three men on bases in our
half of the ninth. inning with nobody
out and SO couldn't score.
The locals tried out another new
pitcher in VIM. Vetter and he should
have won his game although he was
hit hard. 1t is the first full game
he has pitched in long time.
Forest City brought about twenty
five enthusiastic rooters with them,
and they backed their team with
quite some cash, and we understand
few of our White Mills friends
tried to take it away from them, but
of course lost out when the game
went to the visitors.
The boys from the woods scored
in the first inning on Strafords hit.
The locals scored three runs in the
4th on singles, by Jacobs and Lily
and two-base hit by Tarkett, fol-
lowed by passed ball and Weaver's S
sacrifice. We scored two more IN
the seventh. Larson being hurt
was out of the game. Brader play
ed second and Tarkett short, the lat
ter's work both in the field and at
the bat featured for Honesdale. The
3 Miskills done the best work for
Forest City, being a pitcher, catcher
and shortstop. Score by innings:

Runs ....1 0 0 0 8 0 0 q 6

How about that series with Haw-
ley? We understand that Hawley is
anxious to capture our scalp, for, ac-
cording to the Hawleyites, Homes
dale has no hope of beating them.
Some of the Hawley boys even in
sinuate that the locals are afraid OF
them.
Carbondale plays the 3rd game OF
the series here on Saturday next;
each team has now won one game,
and Carbondale expects to take this
one.
The JinX followed the locals on
Sunday when Forest City again beat
them in an eleven-inning game at
White Mills, score to q Loll was
not in very good form, allowing IL
hits. Forest City won the game in
the eleventh on T,areOn's arrnr q
wild pitch and the misjudgment of
long fly which went for two bases.

ROOSEVELT MAY STAY A YEAR.
Australians Desire to Learn How to
Start a New Party.

New York, July 26.-Lawrenee Abbott
says that while Colonel Roosevelt has
made no arrangements to 90 to Austria
liza, his admirers there are trying to
complete arrangements for visit A
report has been in circulation that when
Roosevelt finishes his visit to South
America he will go to Australia, and
that the two trips viii take up the
better part OF a year. 1t was reported
also that when the colonel gets back he
viii retire as contributing editor of The
Outlook. He will return from the South
west about Sept. /. He will start for
South America on Oct. 4. Mr.. Abbott
is uncertain just how long the colonel
will take to cover his trip through the
three republics, as he has not decided
whether he will go into the interior of
South America on a hunting trip. If
he does 60 into the woods, he will not
return to New York before late in the
spring of 1914
Recent developments in Australian
politics have aroused Colonel Roosevelt's
interest. The rising of the Young Aus
tralian party has been similar in many
respects to that Of the Progressive party
here. Mr.. Abbott denied the report that
the colonel is thinking of leaving The
Outlook. "The intimate relations that
have existed between the colonel and
the rest of The Outlook staff" said he,
"have not changed. When he returns
from South America he will re-enter our
editorial councils. We shall receive pa
pers from him from time to time on
political and social conditions in South
America. There is no reason to expect
that when he gets back he will make
any change. | am very sure that he will
not"
Friends of Colonel Roosevelt say he
has found his connection with The Out
look burdensome; that he would be glad
to have his time to himself. They be-
lieve that he will make new arrange
ment so that he won't be expected to
furnish weekly article.
