19011. Desertion was alleged. Dr. George C. Butler returned yesterday from the meeting of the state dentists in Harrlsburg, reporting a fine time and a very profitable gathering of the tooth surgeons ot Pennsylvania.

He did not make the trip in the new steam auto the Butlers have just bought, but he thinks another year ho may steam to the convention if he goes at all. Irving Stark of East Honesdale, with his family, started to drive liome from the circus late Tuesday night and on Church street ran into a hole, althougli the hole was prop-nerly marked and lighted. He was not hurt by the turnover and neither was anybody else in the carrlnge, but the back of the seat was smashed and the whole Stark party was badly scared. They woke up half the neighborhood before the cnrrlage could be gotten out of the hole and the Journey to East Honcsdalol resumed. Wild strawberries are still being plucked on Irving cliff and other elevations, and the boys and girls i end some of their spare time tramping, climbing and picking.

The cultivated berries have been quite rlcntiful nnd cheap. They have sold at 10 cents a box for a matter of 10 days or a fortnight pa6t. Honesdale housewives started their strawberrycannlne about as soon as the 10-cent period arrived. Next winter, or even beforo then, those dark red berries In their own rich, satisfactory syrup will tasto good to every man and woman who is not a crank on tho subject of grub. A delightful reception was tendered Mr.

and Mrs. Frank Wetter at their cottage at Lake Ariel Sunday. Those present wore: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wetter, Mr, and Mrs.

The Joint excursion of tho l.nngecllff and Mooslc Presbyterlnn nday schools will be n.n to Lake I.odore Thurgflty, July 21. A largo t.

Sheridan In Scrnnton Monday and at this meeting will take artlon on the Invitation. Saturday's ball gnme will bo between Honesdale and Jermyn. Encouraged by lust Saturday's success, when the lochia beat the strong East Stroudsburg "normal team by a scoro of 2 to 1 Hi hot 12-inning game, Capt. Kupft'er's boys expect to take another scalp, though Jermyn ban a fast and clever team and has won several Raines already this season. Gregor, young "from tho hm," will be In the box.

W. C. Rlnenrson, general passenger -agent of the and Crescent railroad and formerly general pnssenger ngeut of the Erie, died at Merlon, suburb of Philadelphia, Tuesday, after a long sickness. Mr. Ulnearson, whoie headquarters were tn Cincinnati, c-nnie to the home of his George K.

12rben, at in aa effort to wgntn his 'health, but he steadily sww worse. He- was 02 years oM. 'Interment Ill be made Pt Hamilton, Ohio, the oine of Ms youth. Mr. Rlnearson ia1: kr.ovrn in Honesdaio.

bulletin on the so-called thy-uicl ifcrlcnonia, which affects brook trout, hns been issued for free distribution by the state department of fisheries. This disease, a growth on the thyroid glands vf the trout, has long been known to pislculturists, but a nenr panic nroae recently from a report that the -Olsease communicated cancer to persons who eat tront infected. This belief seems to be fallacious. The bulletin gives a number -of experiments by Dr. DaTid Marine of the Western Reserve university, Cleveland, which show the disease Is raadlly curable by tlie use of iodine.

This world Is an ungrateful region. The portly citizen of large heart and klntlly practices who is noted at the "hotel where he boards for the cheerful alacrity with -which lie gets tip nights to let keyless boarders in the front door came home late the other night and found, to his consternation, that the "key to his room was In his other suit -upstairs. He Ranged and poundoa the front hall and the side ball "but all without result until one of the girls employed by the hotel sot up and found him another key. He says the girl will be remembered In his Inst will and testament, but that the lazy men folks that refused to reciprocate his kind acts win not get so -much -as a souvenir postcard or one-oetrt stamp out of UU -estate. The members of Holy "Rosary congregatiinn irit Providence are -mak ing extensive preparations for the excursion to Lake Lodore 25 There are no better nor more en thusiastic lot of workers In any -par ish than may be found In Holy Rosary, and tfhis.

year's reunion of the congregation will eclipse any annual event previously held by them. A fine programme of events is in course ot preparation, and there win "be nothing left undone to make the affair a financial and social suooess. The members of other parishes throughout the valley have In years gone by arranged to take a day's members of Holy Ros ary, and tlris year that number will be Increased 'because of the dellght- ful time experienced on previous oc casions. The ponlofflce shuts up shop at 8 o'clock at night now. The Erie train frourWew York that used to drop its rather heavy Eastern mall here at S.10 gets in at G.45 and the clerks like the change.

They get an extra recreation these pleasant summer nights, whereas under the old regime they had to stay on the Job until 9. Not everybody in Honesdale is wise yet to the fact that the first Erie train In the morn ing goes out at 7.20, not at 8.27. Two or three business men anxious to get to New York In tho forenoon have been left on tho station plat form, and there la at least one Honesdale citizen mho struck Cham bers street In New York at 2.30, expecting to take the 3 o'clock train out, only to find ho could not make Honesdale on the Erie that day. A young business man who went to the circus poor in purse but rich In the confidence nnd courage required to ask other men to arrange for his expenses says he had the time of his life when Howe's London shows lilt Honesdalo. Ho reached the grounds with dime in ono pocket, a nlcklo In tho other pockot, no cigars, no chewing to-bacco, no matches and no bottle.

At the main entrance a good If not great friend agreed to provide 50 cents for the ticket. Tho beneficiary of this circus day generosity did not give any security. Ho did not sign a Judgment note for halt dollar. Ho simply walked Into a reserved seat and feasted his hungry optics for two hours on the clown and the elephants. At the end, he was escorted back to Main street by the samo compassionate companion who had bought his ticket and from this same bountiful source of supply received two drinks and a 10-cent cigar.

He says It pays to go to tho circus grounds in an impecunous condition and that ho hopes ho may faro as well when tho county talr comes In October. Thc-e will bo a dance at the Alert hall v.r.der tfce auspices of the Alert Fire ompr.Ly Wednesday evening. There will tc good music by Sonncr's oivl.cstra. Mrs. g.

A. entertained the tr embers ot Carbon-dale's Just So civil) at her summer cottage at Waymart yesterdny. Refreshments were served under the trees and the elegant country nlr was thoroughly enjoyed by tho visitors from Cnrbondnle, who left for home on the fi o'clock train. A beautiful cut glass vase, also cut glass water set of a dozen glasses that have been on exhibition In tho window of Thos. Farrell, wore awarded to the members of classes respectively, at tho matinee races.

These prizes were donated by John R. Townsend, nnd are the make of the A. E. O'Connor fnctory. Goshen cor.

He thinks he began his Honesdale trips before 1SS0.

Hon. U. B. Hardenbergh, Judge T. Searle, Postmaster M.

B. Allen and C. H. Dorfllnger left Wednesday morning for a water, rail and gasolene trip that should prove enjoyable. They went to New York on the 7.0 train, nnd from New York they took the Sound steamer for New Bedford, Mass.

At New Bedford tc'hey got Into a speedy touring car and motored to Danvers, the old home Of Judge bearle. They are expected In Honesdale by Saturday. The home trip will be made by rail. women ot the Rlleyrllle Presbyterian church will have their dinner at the church tomorrow noon, as stated in Wednesday's paper. They are preparing to feed the customary large company.

Sunday should be an interesting Cay at the 'church, for Rev. Thomas Houston, the blin'd preacher whose labors 'have been so successful nt Ttlley-ville this month, is coming back. At Siko this week he has held largely-attende'd meetings that are bound to bear "fruit. He Is very eloquent as a talker and his earnest appeal to his congregations seldom fails to bring 'results. The "death last August of E.

H. Hurfiman Is largely responsible for tire 'return to the stage of Margaret Hllngton Bowse, which was recently announced, says a New York dls-patcih. Her husband, Edward J. Bowes, is the chief owner of several thousand acres of Tacoma, Washington, suburban real estate purchased four years ago after tho Harriman railways began purchasing terminal property there. The failure of the Harriman railway since Harrlman's death to build a separate railway has delayed the development of Bowes' property in the west end.

Bowes' Indebtedness on his large holdings is said to approximate $500,000. Miss Hlington's return to the stage is prompted by a desire to help "her husband retain and develop all Ills real estate holdings. In a little while farmers will bo more or less troubled with crows pulling corn. Prof. Surface of the Pennsylvania station recommends that the seed 'be soaked a few.

minutes in water containing a solution of coal tar or gas tar and then spread out and allowed to dry. This makes the corn bitter and crows will not touch it. Another and better method is to scatter corn over the fields at about the time the planted crop is shooting through the ground. The crow, however, Is very fond of grubs and the cut worm nnd ho searches for them where ho usually finds them in hills of corn. In quest for this kind of food, he most nlwnys takes a kernel of the sprouting corn along with tho grub or cutworm whero ho iluds it.

'K he would only take the grub and leavo the corn to grow he would be one of the farmers' best friends. Ono of tho greatest fools on God's green onrth Is tlie fellow who takes his roll to the circus with him. A Wayne county farmer a man, by the way, who does not care much about fire wnter came to town Tuesdny and in his pocket ho had fl2C, good and lawful money of the United States. Ho didn't need over for the day's enjoyment, hut ho got an Idea It would bo a good plan for him to be well supplied with tho slnows of war on circus day. Fortunately for this well-heeled denizen of the rural regions, ho told a business man' in town on whom ho called that he "had hundred and a quarter 1n his pocket to seo tho elephnnt with." Ho was induced to leave 115 in tho safe ot his friend, who gave him a receipt for that amount.

Ho peeled off a 10 bill and started for the circus ground. Late that night ho called for tho balance, took his 115, tore up the receipt, nnd started for homo, remarking as he went that he guessed it was a poor plan for a man to take all his money to tho circus. Tho Merry Heart club held a picnic at Fortenn Wcdncsdny. Oni Monday they will leave for a week's! outing nt Elk Lake. At Grace church Sundny there, will be holy communion nnd ser-j mon nt 10.30 a.

ovenlng prayer nnd sermon 7.30; Sundny school and Blblo classes nt 12 M. John C. Beck, the genial pro-! prletor ot tho Farmers hotel In Mil-' ford, captured a live rattler on his' farm In MUford township. His 6nnkcBhlp mensured over three feet' nnd sported eleven rattles and a button. Gov.

Stuart has appointed Judge Rnlph B. Little ot Montrose a member of the commission to build a hospital for the crimlnnl Insane. He succeeds Charles F. Wright, state treasurer, who resigned. Both men nre known in Wnyno county.

The annual excursion of tho Carbondale Presbyterian church to Lake Lodore will bo held today and 1 It promises to be one of the most enjoyable outings at the lake this summer. The train will leave Car-' bbndalo at 9.30 o'clock and return leaving tho lake at p. m. Sports, of all kinds will be Indulged In, in-' eluding a game of ball between the' married and single men. With little formality Rev.

C. C. the new German Lutheran pastor, will commenre work Sunday. At 10.30 will preac In German, nt 7.30 In English. Mr.

and Mrs. Miller were here a fortnight ago and at that time met a number of Honey-dale people, parishioners and others. The new pastor and his wife made at that time a very pleasant impression, which time and better acquaintance will no doubt deepen. The services Sundny will he attended by good-sized congregations, called out by the desire to give Mr. Miller the most cordinl possible welcome to Honesdale.
