PENNSYLVANIA'S NEW MAR
RAGE LAW,

Everybody will be interested in
the news that comes from Harris
burg as follows:
Harrisburg, June 25-Pennsylvania be-
came the first State to-day to adopt a
"eugenic marriage" license act The
measure, which passed the House sever
al weeks ago, went through the Senate
this afternoon by a vote of 30 to 5. All
the medical societies of the State had
urged the passage of the bill.
Attention was called in these col
umns several weeks ago to the ac-
ton of the Rector of certain Epis-
copal church who announced that he
should hereafter refuse to perform
the marriage ceremony for couples
unless they possessed certificates
from a reputable physician indicat-
ing their physical fitness for mar
riage. The new law in this state COW
ers that matter fully.
The act prohibits the issuance of a
marriage license to persons afflicted with
a transmissable disease and specifies that
no license shall be issued when either

A REMARKABLE CONDITION!

Senator Helen R. Robinson, of
Colorado, made the following re-
markable statement in her Tuesday
evening address in Honesdale:
Il will merely say that out in Colorado
many a wife voted for Taft and there
We're no dissensions or divorces We have
learned to live and let live. Sometimes
we vote as our husbands do, and some
times our husbands vote as we do"
Colorado must certainly be fine
state to live in. If the millennium
doesn't strike us all of a sudden but
comes on us gradually, here's sus-
pender buttons against hairpins that
Colorado will get the first taste of
that much desired thousand years of
peace and delight.

WIFE AGREEABLY SURPRISED

In commemoration of the fourth
anniversary as pastor of the Homes
dale Baptist church, the members of
his church and congregation gather
ed at their hospitable home last
Thursday evening and rendered the
beloved pastor and his estimable
wife and children a happy surprise.
Upon invitation of the members Rev.

the chapel of the church where a
good time was enjoyed. Music was
furnished by Miss Elsie Heumann,
pianist, Otto Heumann, violinist, and
Carl Wagner, cornetist.
Fine refreshments were served.
The tables were decorated with roses
and pansy at each plate, served as
a favor for the guests. Pastor Wen
dell was presented with purse con-
tanning gold coins and bills as a
token of esteem and love from the
members of the congregation. The
presentation speech was made by
George P. Ross. Pastor Wendell re-
sponded very feelingly.

Washington, d. c., June 2S.-
Last bulletin gave forecasts of dis
turbances to cross continent June
29 to July 2 and July to s.; warm
waves June % to July 1 and July
8 to Z; cool waves June 80 to July
and July 6 to 10. These two dis
turbances will cover one of the most
severe storm periods of the year but
we can not now point out the loca-
tions where these dangerous storms
will strike. We have made good
progress in our efforts to work out
method of locating all weather
events but we are not quite far
enough along to risk a forecast of
locations. This is our last warning
of this dangerous storm period and
all we can do is to advise all to be
on the alert from July to 12.
We are expecting a low, or storm
center, to cross the continent, from
the Pacific to the Atlantic, from July
4 to 8 and another from June 28 to
July 2, and every one should watch
the location of these storm centers.
The dangerous parts of the storms
will all the time be from one to five
hundred miles southeast of the CEN
ter of the lows.
If the hurricane, as is expected,
organizes eastward of the Wind
ward islands near July then all
who are interested in such storms on
the Caribbean sea and Gulf of Mex
| leo will need to watch that hurricane
for ten days as it will require that
long before it leaves our coasts. In
case the hurricane organizes then
our middle northwest should expect
an unusually low temperature cool
wave, possibly going to the frost
line in the extreme northwest.
Should tornadoes occur with this
disturbance they may be expected
in the Mississippi valleys between
40 and As of north latitudes.
Tornadoes usually come from the
southwest and move toward the
northeast and they usually occur in
the southeast quadrant of the low.
To get out of the path of the torna-
do one should, as rule, move
northeast or southeast. Excessive
ly heavy rains, cloud-bursts and hail
indicate tornado forces. If we had
control of these storms we would
have them strike some sandy desert.
The west centering on July 16 will
probably be the week of least danger
from storms but the month of July
will probably make a record of ex-
tremes for radical weather events.
Some very heavy rains are expected
and some unusually severe droughts
but these are so mixed up that we
can not locate them.

AN ECHO OF THE PAST.
A Citizen Correspondent Writes a
Very Interesting Letter About the
University That Once Was a
WAYNE County Possession.

Wayne County Possession.
Dear Sir:
When reading the clipping which
/ enclose, regarding Volney Skinner
and the John F. Stoddard University
of Northeastern Pennsylvania, it re-
called sweet memories which the
most of us have folded away, and
which never grow old. Among my
sweetest and dearest recollections is
the familiar face with his pleasant
smile, of John F. Stoddard, and the
sweet faces and still sweeter souls
of the dear old schoolmates; but
/ fear the most of them have left
those loved scenes for AYE"
l was student at that school un-
der John F. Stoddard the last term
held in Bethany, in the spring of
1853. The spring term was open
for the teachers of Wayne county.
Mr.. Stoddard was the principal. I'm
der the then new school law our
county superintendent had to give
his time (three months each year,
either spring or fall) for the benefit
of the teachers and paying half price
as we expected to be under the
teachings of John f. Stoddard if we
desired it,
The school had been open two
weeks, when on Saturday night the
building was reduced to ashes. The
next day opened bright and beauti-
full, but Monday morning, April 18th,
found it showing. 1t showed all day
and / think part or the whole of
the next day, Tuesday. Snow fell
about 2 feet deep, which was the
famous snow storm that ! think
some of the Honesdale citizens many
remember. The sidewalks were
soon cleared after the storm. The
Baptist church opened it's doors to
us for a general school room, and
Mr.. Lasure, the hotel proprietor,
opened his barroom to us for a reci-
tation room. We sent to Prompton
and other places for blackboards,
(the schools being closed at that
time). So we were able to continue
our term of school with the assist
ance of each private family accom-
modating us by taking as many stu
dents as they could.
When looking over the past long
years, we indeed think that hats
should be thrown up to John F.
Stoddard for opening up to the pub
lie a system of education which has
grown to the present day to be one
of the grandest systems to be found.

Valedictory address. Also the poem

the last term ever taught in Beth
any by Mr.. Stoddard. The Vale
dictory address was given by John

A. M. Niles of Mt Pleasant. Now,
at this day there may be some that
may be glad to read the Valendictory
address. II SO, II the Citizen will

The Martin Senate bill appropriat-
ing $4,000 for the purchase of the
site of Fort Washington was passed
in the House last week by vote of
1872 to 90.
The bill provides as follows:
Whereas, The Confederate forces
under General Robert E. Lee in the
year 1868 made a raid into the State
of Pennsylvania and the skirmishers
of his army reached a point within
three miles of the city of Harrisburg
and were driven back, which skir-
mish was the high-water mark Of the
Rebellion; and
Whereas, Hastily constructed in
trenchments were thrown up on a
bluff on the opposite side of the Sus-
quehanna river from the city of Har-
risburg, in Cumberland county, call
ed Fort Washington, and troops were
rushed there to repel the invaders
and save the capital city of the State
from possible capture and destruc-
ton, which happily was accomplish
ed, and the invasion eliminated in
the battle of Gettysburg a few weeks
later; and
Whereas, After the flight of near
ly fifty years these intrenchments are
practically intact and are a silent re-
minder of the cannon that once
crowned them and the brave men
who rallied to the defense of the
capital of the State when it was in
grave peril; and
Whereas, To the end that the
land upon which this fort was locat-
ed may be preserved for all time as
historic spot and destined in the
years to come a place in the annals
of this Commonwealth"

"BILLY" SILVERSTONE SAVES
LIFE OF YOUNG GIRL.

After the Erie train had left the
West Hawley station for Scranton
Monday morning, a young girl at
tempted to mount the steps of the
moving train. Billy" Silverstone,
the new Scranton Tribune-Republi-
can-Truth representative for Homes
dale, was standing near by and as
the young girl was being hurled
down toward the revolving wheels
of the moving train, Billy sprang to
the girls rescue. With the aid of
T. Frank Ham, who stood upon the
platform of the car, Mr.. Silverstone
succeeded in holding the young girl
on the steps until Mr.. Ham could
pull her aboard.

On the grounds, this year, besides
the great auditorium tent and the
vas shelter is erected on the first
day. This is the rest tent, made for
the accommodation of out-of-town
people, especially. There children
can be put to sleep, there holiday
headaches can be relieved. There
picnickers can take the basket
lunches and parcels. There the
young woman who has charge of the
Junioc Chautauqua work can be
found between sessions in the large

not only possible, but entirely de-

the absolute necessity of paving now.

of paving NOW! The proposition of
pave is before the taxpayers of
Honesdale. The question which will
be settled on FRIDAY, JULY IL,
