Postoffice Inspectors w. M. Cal
vert of Scranton, and j. N. Sharp
steen, of Honesdale, yesterday ar
rested Giovanni Todisco, shoe repair
er, of Moscow, on a charge of send
ing black hand letter through the
mails. The letter went to Joseph
Loveland, president of the Moscow
bank, and demanded that $1,000 be
deposited in Scranton bank to the
shoe repairer's account.
Todisco was arraigned before
United States Commissioner George
G. Schuer yesterday afternoon and
remanded in $500 bail for further
hearing. He is at the county Jail.

simple minded than dangerous, it is
said. In response as to whether or
not Loveland owed him any money,
Todisco said he does not, but he is
willing to settle all claims for 81 900
and not cent less. The letter was

laws enacted and enforced that will
make it impossible for spectators
to gamble in articles of food"

ST. MATTHEW'S DAY
AT GRACE EPISCOPAL.

st. Matthew's Day will be observed
at Grace Episcopal church Sunday
by holding communion services in
the morning at 10:30 o'clock. The

and request the members to be pres
ent on that day. Each captain is
provided with list of names of
members whom he is to see person
ally. The same principle was used
at the mems supper which was held
recently in the church parlors. Com
municants are urged to come to
communion and all men and boys
are asked to come to the sermon at
the regular church services.
The address will be on THE Re-
lations of the Men of the Parish to
the Parish and to the Community"
The offertory anthem will be duet
by Messrs. Lees and Rubin, sup
ported by a mems chorus. Stirring

the muzzle at his forehead. He
pulled the trigger, but the cartridge
instead of passing through the vital
point which he was aiming for,
struck the left cheek, tearing away
the entire side of his face. He was
brought to the State hospital the
next morning. Since the time of the
affair he has frequently expressed
the wish that he might live and that
he regretted his act. He made a
game fight for life, but the wound
was one of such a serious nature
that there was only one chance in a
hundred for his recovery.

WILL AFFECT PENNSYLVANIA HOTELS

ment is to the effect that telephone
operators may not be employed on
Sunday, if they work on the other
days of the week, even if the Sun
day work would be only few hours
in a rotation system. The system
has been changed in both the Con-
solidated and Bell offices in Homes
dale so that the work of operators
may conform with the law. In
small offices such as Honesdale the
change works decidedly against the
interests of the young lady opera

and forth from the Office several
times a day so that the required
time may be put in. They work
less but oftener," will express the
