Quaint sians In Peru.

An Indian custom which adds . pic. turesque touch to the roadsides be- tween Cuzco and Machu Picchu. in Peru, is the presence of quaint signs indicating what Is for sale In the In- dian huts. A small bunch of wheat or barley tied on the end of pole and stuck out in front of the hut indicates that there is chicha Ia native corn beer) for sale within. A bunch of flowers on the end of pole also has the same significance. A green wreath means that there is bread for sale. while a piece of white cloth or white paper waving in the breeze indicates that the wayfarer may here purchase aguardiente. a powerful white rum made of cane juice and containing . large percentage of raw alcohoL-Af- gonaut.

EDISON TALKING PICTURES.

The famous Edison Talking Pict-
ures are coming to Honesdale. rms
has been decided and they will be
shown at the Lyric Monday, July IA.
A complete entertainment, consist
ing of drama, comedy, tragedy, oper-
attic selections and speeches by we'll
known men and women, will be
enough to convince the most skepti-
cal that at last silent motion pictures
is doomed and hereafter they will
talk the same as real actors on a
real stage.
One of the most stupendous un-
dertakings in the talkies was the
staging of the big minstrel number,
comprising thirty-five people. This
is a genuine minstrel oleo, with
blackfaced comedians, clog-dancers,
cake walkers, quartettes and the
grand finale of old veterans, showing
the spirit of the Cicil war. Other
subjects deal with Mayor Gaynor, of
the City of New York and his Cabi-
net; a group of well known suffra-
gettes; the miser scene from the
"Chimes of Normandy; clever
skit known as the Musical Black
smiths; and Nursery Favorites," a
subject that will gladden. the hearts
of all lovers of child life, dealing
with "Jack the Giant Killer" "Old
King Cole," "The Witch" THE
Fairy" Little Red Riding Hood"
and all the old favorites so dear to
the hearts of the young.
They are at present being shown
only in the largest cities, where they
are drawing capacity business
daily in the large vaudeville thea
tres. This is the first time offered
to the country at large and the citi-
zens of Honesdale will await with in
terest the opening night here.

"a MAN IN THE OPEN"

i AS the serial story we are pub
fishing in the Citizen progresses it
grows more and more intense until
it eliminates in a series of sensa-
tions that follow each other in rapid
succession. All who are reading
The Root of Evil declare it to be
strong and powerful.
Immediately on it's conclusion we
shall begin the publication of anoth-
er story, equally strong, but on other
lines. 1t is called "a Man in the
Open" and deals with life among
those who live out of doors. 1t is
full of strength and vigor. 1t will
make you laughs and it will make
you cry. The exact date when the
first installment will be published
will soon be announced. In the
meantime get ready for treat, and
tell all your friends what splendid
literary treat is in store for them in
the immediate future.

PUBLIC UTILITIES.

Much interest attaches to the per-
sonnel of the commission which
Governor Tener will appoint to in
vestigate and report on public utili-
ties.
This question, together with the
employers liability, include the very
essence of industry and commerce,
as we'll as the principles of benevo-
lence, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that the good judgment which has
characterized most of the Governors S
appointments to date will stand him
in good stead now that he is con-
fronted with the task Of choosing
men to handle these very delicate
subjects. We feel sure that when
the names are announced they will
be names to inspire confidence and
to guarantee the best thought and
effort Pennsylvania affords.

VINEGAR PROSECUTIONS.

In the Citizen last March atten-
ton was called to the fact that there
were misunderstanding regarding
the vinegar laws of the state. Re-
cent developments show that the
vinegar subject is sadly in need OF
the most rigid inspection. Concoc-
tions are being sold as vinegar that
are not vinegar, but are decidedly
poisonous. Some of these COM
pounds contain wood alcohol. Pros
ecutions are to be instituted, and
vendors who have been selling the
adulterated and poisonous COM
pounds will be punished.
In the meantime it is but fair to
assume that the majority of retail
merchants are not aware Of the fact
that the vinegar they are selling is
adulterated and poisonous. Mer-
chants should without delay make
tests of the stock they have on hand;
and if they have any reason to even
suspect that what they are offering
for sale is not pure and is under
the ban Of the law, they should at
once take steps for their own pro-
lection, and should forthwith stop
it's sale. Otherwise they will be
made to suffer, although they in a
sense are innocent. The presump-
ton of guilt on the part of the re-
tailers is where they have bought
cider vinegar" at prices much be-
low what a pure article costs.
1t will be admitted by all our
readers that all merchants who have
knowingly sold poisonous vinegar
will richly deserve all the punishment
that the law has provided.

There was not minute during the
entire six months that they could be
counted upon to act as a unit and
there was not a Washington party
man at either end of the capitol who
was big enough to plan or carry out
program of any character. The
only people with which the Regular
Republican organization must share
the credit for the work of the Legis-
lature are the Democrats. They
were reasonably responsive to leader
ship and in the main they we're free
from the vices of envy and malice
which we're the bane of the Wash
ington party adherents.
A list of the progressive measures
that were passed would include
statewide uniform primaries, nom
partisan election of judges, womans S
labor bill, public utilities bill, COM
mission form of government for third
class cities, creating a department
of labor and industry and wiping out
the inefficient factory inspection bu-
reau, stringent cold storage bills,
mothers pension bill, loan shark
bill, and many others.
When Governor Tener went to
Gettysburg early last week he took
staff of clerks and official advisors
with him and every moment he could
snatch from the social duties that
devolved upon him was devoted to
consideration of the mass of legisla-
tion that was left on his hands at
the adjournment of the Legislature.
The Governor has, under the Con-
stitution, thirty days in which to
dispose of these measures and he
will need all of that time. He will
be back here most of this week and
by next Sunday the mysterious lit
tie grapevine kilograms that fore
cast the fate of this or that import
ant measure will be flying around,
if this year is anything like other
years that mark a meeting of the
General Assembly.

MUST CUT $25,OOO,OOO.
Governor Tener Has Real Busy Pro.
gram Mapped Out For Next
Month.

Harrisburg.-With all of the ap-
preparation bills passed by the last
legislature checked up steps are now
being taken at the executive depart
ment to ascertain exactly how much
money Eater Penn will have to spend
in the next two years and what would
be the effect of some of the bills
designed to increase revenue now in
the hands of the Governor. Almost
$50 bills are in the hands of Cover
nor John X. Tener for action, the
largest number ever left with a
governor by departing legislature
and it is significant that this num-
Der is over half of the 1,147 which
were passed. Furthermore, it also
indicates that a large percentage of
the bills were passed within the last
ten days of the session.
Governor Tener is up against the
biggest proposition in regard to bills
of any governor, because he has to
cut off something like 25,000,000
and at the same time to act upon a
large number of appropriation bills.
The total sum appropriated was $780,
100000. And all this must be done
in the face of demands for his pres
ence, such as Gettysburg last week,
and the Perry victory centennial,
where he must play an official part,
and the visits to the four camps of
the brigades of the National Guard,
which custom has decreed must take
place and which every governor has
followed out. And all bills must be
acted upon by the 9th.
UP at the capitol the attorney gen.
erals department is going over all
bills with the utmost care while the
statisticians are working out the
financial problems. The governor
took up the general appropriation
bill on Saturday Immediately upon
his return from Gettysburg. On his
action on this bill depends the pay
of all persons connected with the
state government who have not been
paid since the middle of May.
Action on the public utilities COM
mission bill is expected soon. 1t is
being gone over letter by letter.

A prominent feature of the parade
was the Liberty Bell Float that was

March 3rd. The plaster replica of
the Bell was sent to Erie by Mrs. G..

who arrived in Erie on Saturday to
superintend the hanging of the bell
and the decoration of the float. Four
beautiful young women, bearing gar
lands of flowers rode on the float,
which was drawn by 60 to 100 Erie
Suffragists.
