It is also reported that Mr. Harriman has planned to build a trade school where poor young men can be taught industrial pursuits. It is high time that some of the public moneys raised io support our public schools should be expended in this direction. It will take a long while, however, to re move the false notion from the public cratic candidate for State Senator.

On Saturday before Thanksgiving, J. II. Hartman, a Stroudsburg butcher, brought a drove of 250 turkeys to that place from Bradford county. Fifty or sixty years ago such droves, and often larger ones, passed through this county, on their way to city markets. Local poultry raisers on such occasions found it necessary to pen their birds, as other wise they were sure to join the passing ', army. The droves always halted at sun down, and roosted until the next morn ing, quite a percentage of them tailing ! victims to foxes and other predator' animals during the night ; but, owing to i accessions from farmyards alprg the I route, the losses were not only made up, but the (locks were usually bigger nu merically at the ending than at the be-' ginning of their long journey. The bills for the advertising of the , proposed constitutional amendments in 1 advance of the last election are now be ing gone over at the Capitol.

It clearly appears, from tl testimony of Mr. Rockefeller, and the established facts in its history, that' the oil business has been really hazardous only to the independent oil operators. With the re bates secured by the Standard, and its system of cut-throat competition, the business was made "extra hazardous" to the independents, and they were to a large extent frozen out, under the bri gaud claim that all the oil business be longed to the Standard, and that no one had a right to compete with them about taking chances on a six-cylinder motor car, and last summer he objected to his wife buying a gasolino stove, be cause he was afraid to i have tho pesky thing around. The man who has a good wife and conscientiously takes her advice, is not likely to get into very deep trouble, either in this world or the next. A mule once drew a heavy load up steep hill ; when ho had almost reached the top he kicked himself loose and the load rolled down the hill.

There appears to have been no attempt to imitate the distributed silk liber. The Hawley Times gives particulars of two wrecks in the Erie yard at that place on sunday and Tuesday mornings i of last week. The first was a rear end near IIX tower between 4:00 and 5:00 o'clock Sunday morning. Engineer Frank Bond, with engine 1,500 ran into Con ductor J. P. Kelley's train. The engine was derailed and quite badly damaged, ' the caboose and one car were demolished, and several cars were derailed. Fortu nately no one was in the caboose when the accident occurred, as the members of the crew had just finished switching. Engineer Bond escaped withslightbruises to his back. The damage amounted to about $800. The Port Jervis wreckers cleared the wreck. Another wreck oc curred near the West Hawlev railroad bridge about 0:00 o'clock Tuesday morn-1 ing. T. Delaney's train was going east from Honesdale, and while Conductor i Buckley was making up his train it was , backed down into the side of Delaney's I loaded train while it was in motion. J Three cars were damaged and one was I destroyed. Considerable damage was i also done to tho tubing and wires of the yard signal system and the tracks. Dam age amounted to about $400. The tracks ; were cleared when the morning passen-1 ger trains arrived, so there was no delay in passenger service on account of the i wreck. j The Honesdale Reserves football . team won a fine victory overthe Carbon-1 daio No. 4 school team on Athletic field, i Thanksgiving day morning. The Car-1 bondale bunch greatly outclassed the locals in weight, but honors were about even, with no score for either side, until just at the close of the last half; when Ralph Brown, of the Reserves, profiting by a fumble by one of the visitors, got possession of the ball, and after a fine run, secured a touchdown, Goal was kicked by J. Barbieri, making the score 0 to 0 in favor of Honesdale. Umpire, H. A. Oday ; referee, F. X, 8oete. ' Prices 15, 25, 35, and 50c WIHuirram opens ut the box ollice. at m i- ruiay, iec. i.
