Big RUSH At. POST OFFICE

Never in the history of the
Honesdale postoffice has there been
such a rush of business as was ex-
perienced during the four days pre-
ceding Christmas and including that
day. The holiday mail received and
dispatched was record-breaker,
there being about 5000 packages
sent out of Honesdale and fully as
many delivered in the town. The
remarkable part of it was that all
the work was executed by the present
efficient corps of clerks in the office.
Just before Christmas two teams
were obtained to deliver the parcel
post packages to the patrons. Virtu-
ally, only one outside carrier and
team was employed % deliver the
congested mail. Every package that
was received up to 10 o'clock Christ
mas morning at the postoffice was
out at that time.
On Monday, December 22nd, g.
500 packages were received at the
general delivery window and sent to
their various destinations. Deputy
Pc tmaster c. j. Kelly informed
Citizen representative that as many
packages came from out-of-town up
on that day. On Tuesday 1000 par
cells were received and on Wednes-
day 1000. Packages sent the 18th
and goth make a grand total of about
5000 in five days.
The receipts for the five days of
rush were as follows: December 10,
$1,000; goth, $4,000; 22nd, $3.50;
23rd, $151.00; oath, $72.OO. Other
packages mailed for Christmas
brought the total receipts up to
$500. The average package sent
| cost cents to mail.
The parcel post packages was only
a small part of the regular business
at the post office. In addition to
the large influx of Christmas pres
ents sent in care of Uncle Sam, there
were thousands of post cards and let
ters distributed.
Postmaster NJ. B. Allen is to be
congratulated upon having so eff
| ticient and competent a corps of en-
ployees, who by systematizing their
! work, accomplished as much as A
double office force. Each and every
man (and lady too, for we/do not in
tend to overlook the capable money
! order clerk stuck to his post from
early morning until late at night dur
ing the rush. Postmaster Allen
! thanked his corps in a most crafty
ing manner for the sagacious per-
formance of their respective duties.

FISH COMMISSIONER
BULLER IN HONESDALE

Nathan r. Butler, State Fish Com
missioner, of Harrisburg, met the
representatives of the glass indus
try in Honesdale and White Mills and
also Birdsall Bros, of Seelyville, at
the Allen House last Friday evening.
The chief object of Commissioner
Buffers visit was to notify the repre-
sentatives of industries located on
the Dyberry and LackawaXen rivers
to stop the pollution of these streams
by emptying refuse from their respec-
tive factories into the water.
Mr.. Butler suggested the building
of cisterns on the premises thus al
lowing the acid of the glass factor
les to percolate through the ground
and not come directly into contact
with the fish of the stream. Birdsall
Bros. large factories are also extern
sively used to carry away dyeing and
wash waters. This firm will feel the
change harder than the others.
Judge Birdsall informed the Citi-
zen by phone on Monday that the
meeting referred to above was sought
by iterested parties who desired to
learn what they are expected to do in
regard to stream pollution. He said
it is merely a matter of time when
nothing of an offensive nature will
be placed in the streams of the coun-
ty, as all factories now complained of
desire to live strictly within the law,
both written and unwritten, as far as
they possibly can do so.

dissipate and to loose her property.
Her age / think is about seventy-siX.
DR.. Frederick w. Powell was the
next witness sworn. Have been her
attending physician for some time.
Have noticed her condition and men
tai attitude, and would say that it is
some changed from the time when l
was first called on her case. l saw
her about week ago and considered
at that time she was mentally de-
ranged. She is not a fit person to
handle her estate and is apt to be-
come the victim of designing persons.
She is apt to dissipate and to squand-
er her estate.
Mr.. Robert H. Gray was the next
witness called. He testified that he
was a nephew of Mary N. Gray and
that he had known her. ever since he
was small, and that her mental con-
dition is at present very weak. She
is not able to look after her estate.
At the time of her husbands death
her estate amounted to sos, 900 and
her monthly income amounted to
$3.50 Now the amount of her estate
is about $4,000 with an income of
only about $3.50 per month, the
same having been dissipated and
squandered to the extent of the diff
ference, and in my opinion her es-
tate is liable to be dissipated, squand-
cred and lost if guardian had not
been appointed.
Mr.. Horace Menner was also sworn.
He stated that he had known Mrs.
GRAY for some time and knew that
she had become feeble in mind as
well as in body and that she might
become the victim of designing per-
sons.
Bond was fixed in the amount of
900 with the understanding that
the amount should be increased as
the amount in the hands of the
guardian increased.
The trial list for the January term
was made up on Monday.

DEATH AND BURIAL
OF MRS. E. A. PENNIMAN

When Mrs e. A. Penniman died
on Friday morning last at her home
on upper Main street, there passed
from the Wayne county scroll the last
person bearing the Penniman name.
Mrs. Penniman was Anna, daugh-
ter of the late Alanson Blood. She
was born in Honesdale on Septem-
ber 27, 1899, in a building now
standing and situated nearly opposite
the e. A. Penniman residence.
Honesdale was her world, and that
part of it in the vicinity where she
was born was her special corner of
the round earth.
Mrs. Penniman suffered from the
same disease that caused the death
of her husband, angina pectoris, a
very painful disorder of the heart.
She was stricken with what proved to
be the final attack when her hus-
bands condition became such that it
was evident he would not recover.
She became unable to leave her bed,
and was not present when his body
was committed to it's final resting
place. She is survived by sister,
Miss Mary Blood, who made her
home with the Pennimans.
| Miss Anna Blood became the bride
of e. A. Penniman May 1S, 1860.
The golden wedding anniversary was
observed three years ago last May.
The welded life of Mr.. and Mrs Pen
niman is spoken of as being Of a very
happy nature. No children were
born to them; but the attachment to
! their nieces and nephews was as close
as that 0f the nearer ties that par
ents evince towards their own off.
spring. Only twenty days intervened
between the death of Mr.. Penniman
and that of his wife. They lived fol
each other, and constantly sought
each others happiness. 1t seems
peculiarly touching that they should
be called from earth with such q
short interval marking the period ot
separation.
The funeral was held at the Pen.
niman residence on Monday after.
noon at O'Clock, Rev. w. H. Swift

both Mrs Penniman and her hus.

sang in the Presbyterian choir. There
was large attendance of those who
were desirous of paying respect tt
the memory of one who had a kline

BOY SCOUT BANQUET.

The local troop of Boy Scouts had
the time of their lives at their BAN
quet which was served by Mrs. VIM.
F. Briggs last Saturday night The
menu was one of her very best and
occupied the attention of the boys for
two hours.
Mortimer Stocker, as toastmaster,
was greatly appreciated. His ad-
dress at the close of the dinner will
be remembered by the Scouts all
their lives. He spoke of the time
when all would be scattered to the
four corners of the earth, of the
things that would stay in the memo
ries and be of lasting good of the
wonderful value of scouting in pre-
pairing the boy to meet the emergen-
cies that he meets up with when he
starts out among strangers. He paid
high tribute to the interest and close
friendship which has been shown to
every member of the Troop by Scout
master e. G. Jenkins, remarking
that since he has been at Lafayette
College he has realized many times
the truth of the remarks of Judge
Lindsay at the Chautauqua last
summer, in appreciation of the work
of the Jenkins brothers among the
boys of Honesdale.
The toast by Earl Herbert was a
mastery eulogy of the local Scouts
and the organization, emphasizing
the strong brotherly feeling that
exists among the boys.
Clarence Bodie had the boys in an
uproar of laughter during his speech.
Earl Transue, Louis Dryer and John
Riefler offered after dinner speeches
that were greatly enjoyed.
The songs by Robert Heft in cos
tune and several readings by Miss
Marie Freeman of Carbondale, who
presided at the piano during the eve
ming, were the top line features of
the occasion.
Scout Master e. G. Jenkins then
closed the first banquet of Honesdale
Troop No. 1 with few words of ap-
probation of the loyalty and friend
ship which has been extended to him
by each boy during the nearly three
years since the organization OF the
Troop.
1t was a most impressive sight
those twenty young men, over half of
them six feet tall, standing about the
table bowing reverently while
Scout Master e. G. Jenkins gave
thanks for all the good things that
have come to this troop, and be-
sought Almighty God to look with
favor upon each member that they
might become worthy to follow the
Divine Scout of Galilee.
