Wood of Seneca Falls, occurred at the Methodist par sonage Wednesday evening, June 7tli, Rev. Arthur Copeland olliciating.

A very novel musical automaton can bo seen in the Hoag house in the form of a mechanical banjo. By dropping a nickel in the slot the internal machi nery is set in motion and operates little wire claws that pick tho strings in a manner tliat reminds one of a first class •‘coon” ban joist. Tho Silsby Hoso Company have just had a fine stone w a lk laid in fro n t of their building on West Fall street. This company is made up of represen tative young men and this improve ment is in keeping with tho progres sive spirit which has always character- izod tho organization. Constable Newby arrested Ered aud William Hutchins last Sunday, two farmer boys who reside near Clyde. They wore in front of Lawrence park riding their bicycles on the cinder path without side path numbers and were arraigned before Justice Coons and lined •S5 each which they paid. Both claim ed that they wore ignorant oI any such AV. A. S. L atham w as the victim of peculiar accident recently while on the road. As he was walking along street aiiolhor m an ran against liim jamming his hand against his grip in such a way as to injure or break one of tho small bones. IMr. Latham has been home for the past week nursing the damaged member which did not trouldc him at all until sometime after the accident occured. Jacob Finkler of Syracuse, who is nployed in the triplex department of the Goulds works, met with a most un fortunate accident yesterday morning. While going down some steps in the slioii he slipped and jarred himself to such an extent as to cause a serious rupture. He was taken to his boarding liouse on Cayuga street in a carriage and Dr. Lester called to attend to his injuries. The game of ball at Lawrence park Saturday between tlic Shamrocks of Syracuse aud tho Seneca Falls nine resulted in a .score of ten to three in favor of the visitors. Sullivan, the local catcher, had his hand liuit by a foul tip early in the game and his inability to play proved a serious handicap. As it was the game Avas a very good one and bad it not been for this accident the I would have been closer. An exchange says the use of criule petroleum on tho surface of tho paths will make almost as hard a surface needs be for a highway, impervious to wet and insensible of wear; only the surface of the path must be as smooth before tho oil is applied as you expect it to be, for the oil-soaked soil is too bard to tvork afterward. The esti mated cost for highways is fifty dollars per mile for oil and applying. For paths it would bo far less. The Seneca Falls and Waterloo com bination team has made arrangements for two games of base ball to be played at Lawrence park this week, the pro ceeds to be used for the purpose of procuring uniforms. The first game will be with the Clydes this after- 1 at 3 :3u o’clock. The second game will be played Saturday after noon at the same hour with the Maroons of Rochester, one of tho strongest amateur teams in the state. About six o’clock Saturday night the water main in front of Pryce Bailey’s residence on Clinton street burst throw ing the earth and stones that covered it half way across the street and shooting stream of water about four inches in diameter a distance of forty feet be tween the residences of William Harpst and Horace N. Silsby on the opposite side of the street. For a short time it looked as if the neighborhood might be flooded and word was sent to Snperin- tondant Bradley who at once had the water shut off from that street. The opening soon drained the pipe so that damage was done. AVorkmen re paired the break during the night and the water was let in at noon Sunday. The appeal case of Howard Curtis Benhara, convicted of the murder of his Avife in Batavia, in 1897 and no Auburn prison under sentence of death, w as argued before tlie court of appeals ycstcrilfiy. It will probably be sonic time before the court is able to reach a decision as tho testimony is very voluminous. ______ The prizes for the Honest Fishermen’s outing are on exhibition in AVayne’s show window.

One of the boys Avent after the ball, Avhen the owner of the patch, who evidently did not relish having his potatoes trampled on, came out with a pitch fork and chased the boys oil tiro grounds break ing up the game which Iiad been play ed to tho sixth inning with a score of 14 to S in favor of tlie “ Railroads.” Miss Ada Hampton Havens, daughter of Daniel Havens ol Chestnut street, will graduate with honor as a trained nurse, to-morrow, from the Protestant Episcopal cimrch hospital of Philadel phia, Pa.

She spent several months at Chatta nooga and other inMitary camps, last summer, where slie did heroic Avork in behalf of tho soldiers and received lionorable mention from the command 's in charge. The annual meeting of the Seneca County Patrons Fire Relief Associa tion was held at thoi Franklin lionsc, Ovid Wednesday last. George R. Lane of Junius and Emory Story of Tyre, were added to the board of directors. Charles W. Cosad of Junius, was cliosen jiresident of the leialion in place of Henry F. Trout man of Seneca Falls, Avho has filled that office for tho past eight years, and A. J. Bartlett of Romulus, v/as re- eleeted secretary.

Bristol, Ovid; Dauiel Yost, AA'atcrloo. Business booms when it is skilfully boomed, and seldom docs take on a great spurt unless somctliing is done to push it, remarks an exchange. Tho best way to push a business is by ad vertising it, and good business men agree that the most ellective advertis ing is noAVspaper publicity. It costs more than some other kinds of publioity for tho lirst outlay, but when the re sults are taken into consideration tho cost is seen to be very small indeed. Newspaper publicity should bo made use of in tlic way to produce the most beneficial effect, and this in itself de mands no little skill, cither the result of personal experience or that of others. There are so many “ doctors of adA'cr- tlsing” nowadays that the whole sub joct may be learned in extenso at little cost, and “ ready-to-uso” ads may be bought at a minimum fee. There is trouble in getting good ads; the difficulty comes in deciding how and Avliere to use them. Mynderse Academy Commencement. Rev. W. B. Ciarke lias been selected to deliver the baccalaureate sormou to the graduating class of Mynderse Acad emy.

To day is flag day. A year ago, it was almost impossible to distinguish tlio day set apart in honor of our nair tiojial emblem from any other because the Stars and Strips were so generally displayed every where on account of the enthusiasm aroused by the war then in progress. Tliis year full ad vantage should be taken of the oppor tunity to make it a day easily distin guishable from other days. Every American citizen has reason to feel prouder than ever of his country’s flag Avhicli is respected throughout the civilized Avorkl to-day as representing a nation capable of upholding its honor. Flag day Avas instituted that the general display of the national emblem might inspire in tiie iicarts of all the spirit of patriotism and love of country as sym bolized by the national colors. This year it will also .serve as a silent rebuke to those Avlio by their alliance Avith their country’s enemies have proved tliem- . selves unworthy of the protection afforded them. Everywhere the inspir ing emblem of frccdon should be flung out to the breeze. Obituary. MRS. HELENA 5f. CORAVIN, widow of the, late Charles (i.
