Those who own cottages and boats at the lake are putting in all their spare time getting everything in shape for the lake season which will soon be The Cayuga lake steamer Frontenac will commence making regular trips on May 30th. The steamer has been thoroughly overhauled, beautified and improved. A small boy says that playing George Washington may be all right if yon have only got the right kind of a parent; if not, there are too many chances to be taken. A party of fish and game protectors, with a state game protector from Al bany, visited Cayuga lake Tuesday and look out of the lake near Canoga Point, twenty-six fyke nets. A competitive examination for the Cornell state scholarship for Seneca county will be held under the direction of School Commissioner Godfrey at the high school in the village of Waterloo Saturday, June 7th, commencing at nine o’clock a . m .

Howe will give another high class picture exhibition in Johnson opera house on Tuesday evening. May 27th. The entertainment is under the auspices of the Baptist society, is first class and merits a generous patronage. Mrs. Sidney Bryant of Auburn, form erly Miss Effie Young of Seneoa I’alls died Monday night at her home in the former place after a brief illness of pneumonia at the age of thirty-seven years. She was a sister of Mrs. F. A. Strong of this village. The park commissioners of Buffalo have generously consented to allow the public to fish in the lake in Delaware park while the price of meat remains exorbitant. Tlie lake is well stocked with fish and hundreds of families are thus enabled to supply their tables without meat. ______ A number of silly stories about ghosts in Restvale cemetery have ap peared in print during the last two or three weeks. Those responsible for tliem have drawn heavily on their imaginations and should now go back and sitdown for a much needed rest. Charles A. Lux of Clyde has secured control of a quarry of pure white marble, 6,000 acres in extent near Governeur, St. Lawrence County, and is engaged in opening the plant and erect ing machinery. He has contracted to supply a Middletown capitalist with marble to the amount of $60,000, to bo used in building a residence at that was Bobby Burns who wrote “ The best laid plans of mice and men gang at oglee.’’ This couplet was envolved by Bobby’s brain before fountain pens, headache powders and endless chain get-rieh quick schemes were in vented. It is apparent however, that human nature in the poet’s time was the same as now and that the author was an accurate student. The first open air concert and first public appearance of the Seneca i^alls Military Band whicli look place Thurs day evening on the Hoag house balcony was heartily enjoyed by a large gathering of citizens. Considering the brief existence of the band and the difficulty of performing upon a number of used up and leaky instruments the musical program was a creditable cue. George Dunham, boss spinner at the Woolen Mills in this village, was re lieved of his gold watch Tuesday after noon, valued at seventy-five dollars After dinuer he hung his vest contain ing the watch near his table as usual and later when he weut to put the vest on, found that the watch had been stolen. An effort to recover the missing watch was made but without success. The Reveille Editor Is very sensitive rer the reputation of the last Demo cratic board of trustees and correspond ingly jubilant over what he calls their “ vindication.” The singular thing about this “ vincl’cation” is that not a single Democratic member of the old board dared have his name come before the voters. Even Boss Stowell was not brazen enough to advise such a course. The Troy Star Laundry was opened Monday at No. 22 Bridge street in this village by Bernard F. McDoriuott who lias wide experience in this line of business. The laundry will be open from half past six iu the morning until ten in the evening for the accomoda tion of patron.\. The proprietor is a hustling, energetic young man and will undoubtedly secure a liberal share of public patronage. The Minister’s club of Seneca and Ontario counties held an interesting and profitable session at the Congrega tional church in this village at half past ten o’clock Monday morning. About twenty members of the club were in attendauce. Rev. 11. A. Por ter of Ovid, read a paper on “ Condi tional Immortality” in a masterly style, the subject and its treatment provoking considerable discussion. The Lyons Courant has been enlarged and rechristened and appeared last week under the name of “ Wayne County Review\. The publishers are E. M. Me Gonigal and R. P Ostrander. The first issue of the Review, which is a Republican paper, is well printed all edited and in every way a credit to the proprietors and publishers and it will no doubt meet with the success which its merit deserves. The following are the standing com mittees of the board of education as named by President Hammond: On finance—Siegrest, Gould, McGovern; teachers -Stowell, Purdy, McDon ald; on school organization and dis cipline—MacDonald, Stowell, Gould ; on houses and sites —McGovern, Mac Donald, Stowell; on text books and library—Purdy, McGovern, Siegrest; on course of study—Gould, Siegrest, When the small boy feels that he is getting worsted in an argument he ‘lally tries to get even by making up faces and calling names. This childish course has been adopted by the Reveille editor but we can stand it if he can. His record will not bear the light of publicity, therefore he is seeking to distract attention from it by a display of pettishness which is entirely char acteristic of the man. His anxiety for investigation of the water contract scandal, it is well understood, proceeds from a knowledge that legal, proof is made afeost impossible by the fact of Mr. Bradley^s death. Hence he feels perfec*iy safe in challenging an inves- tigatiofl- It win be noticed that he has nothing l6 say in regard to the Ramsey street bridge matter post offi^ An exchange relates the story of two enthusiastic anglers who arranged a fishing match to decide the respective irits of the worm and the minnow as bait. For hours they sat patiently on a bank without getting so much as a nibble. At last the proprietor of the worm suddenly said that he had got a bite, and jerking his line out of the water, discovered at the end of it the other man’s minnow, which, having by this time grown hungry, had devoured the worm. E. Lyud of Green street, was painfully injured Tuesday afternoon while riding a bicycle. He was turning down Green street at a rapid pace when his wheel broke, throwing him to the ground on his face. He was stunned by the blow and was carried into the house of a neighbor and medical aid summoned. It was found upon examination that his injuries fortunately were no worse than a tooth knocked out and a numiber loosened and his face somewhat cut and bruised. Tlie government has investigated the fountain pen endless cliain scheme and several other gilded oilers of a kindred nature, and it is probable that their promoters wiW now have plenty of time in which to select morS* legitimate business of a less visionary character. Many of their customers who have in vested $2.50 in a forty cent pens and several dollars in postage stamps and stationery, receiving in return protested checks, feel doubtless like the moth that has approached too near the flame of the candle. They are however richer in experience and experience is the most durable kind of wisdom. A vindication which drives the men vindicated out of office is not oi which anyone except the Reveille Ed itor would brag. His claim that the election under the new charier was vindication of the last Democratic board, whieh has been openly and publicly denounced by a member ot the present board, is too silly and senseless to cause anything more than a feeling of amusement in the mind of any person familiar with the facts. A meeting in memory of the late Judge C. C. Dwight was held at the court house in Auburn last Friday. Many eminent jurists and lawyers were pres ent from this! and other judicial districts. Fitting eulogies and tributes were paid learning and cliaraoter of the deceased jurist, who held high rank in the legal profession and on the bench. Hon. Charles A. Hawley of this village isent and was among the number who addressed the meeting. r Lynd, the younger son of M. I of Green street, was painfully A special Lehigh train brought a p.nrty of cllicials of that company to this village Tuesday afternoon. The visit ors spent some time in looking over the freight aud passenger facilities and in inspectian of a portion of the pro posed extension of the lino eastward as indicated by a survey made two years ago and upon which options are again being obtained., It was intimated that construction work would begin early this summer. With the party were, M. B. Cutler, superintendent of construct ion, T. N. Jones, assistant general traflie manager; Allen Randell of New York city, through freight agent and C. A Blood of New York city, assistant general freight agent. Tlie action of the post office depart- enl has eflectually ended the busi ness cf endless chain fountain pen companies and the mail matter ad dressed to these companies which has been held up in the Auburn, Syracuse, Wilkesbarro and other poat-ollioes will be returned to the senders as fast as possible. Getters bearing the address of the writer will be returned direct to senders while letters without such address must go to the dead letter office at Washington, D. C., where they will be opened and the names of the writer ascertained, if possible, in this manner. It is estimated that several hundred thousand dollars in the\ aggregate will thus be returned to the would be pur chasers of fountain pons, led on by the almost universal] desire to obtain some thing good in the way of salary by doin^,a very small amount of work in proportion to the amount promised. With the announcement of the Cor nell Navy management that the Syra cuse University will have a crew in the big Cornell-Harvard boat race on Cay uga lake on Memorial day. interest in the contest is trebled. It is the debut of the boys of the Saline city on Cornell waters and they promise to make the struggle interesting for Ithacans. Every man in Syracuse who did not row at Poughkeepsie last June is eligible to row in the race, and as five new men have displaced men who rowed in the Syracuse Varsity crew last summer, it looks as though the Central City boys would put in a strong bid for the first place at the finish line. Cornell alumni living within the radius of fifty miles Of Syracuse plan to run a special train from Syracuse to Ithaca, while at least five thousand undergraduates and citi zens of the Salt city will journey to the blue waters of Cayuga to see one of the greatest contests of the year. The cold wave which passed over this county Friday and Saturday nights has been productive of almost inestim able damage to fruits, berries and vegetables. The mercury in this sec tion registered 28 degrees daring both nights, ice forming a fourth of an inch thickness. Most varieties of fruit can stand a white frost but not what is commonly known as a black frost. It 13 feared that the grape, peach, cherry and pear crops are almost entirely destroyed, while some concern is mani fested as to the extent of the injury to the apple crop. Many strawberry blos soms were frosted while tomato plants and other tender garden crops which were well advanced under the influence of early spring weather were destroyed. The result will be to make some varie ties of fruits and berries scarce and consequently higher in price, but in some lines the damage can be made good by a replanting.

The season is at hand when smooth, sharp,keen-witted swindlers arc moving about the rural districts,seeking victims among the unwary. In view of the fact that these fakirs have been exposed so many times by the newspapers, there ought not to be any field left for them to operate in and there would be none if every man would read his home newspaper carefully and remember that when a stranger tries to interest him in a scheme he does it with the hope of getting something out of him—has selected him for a victim in fact. Every one can depend upon it that no man or woman is traveling about the country for the purpose of giving something for nothing and any one who has a good legitimate plan for making money fast and easily, does not have to peddle Intelligence of the death of Capl. James Ashcroft, which occurred Sat urday night at St. Louis, Mo., reached his relatives and friends in this village Sunday. The cause of death was pneu monia and his illnes was only of a few days duration. Capt. Ashcroft was a familiar figure in Seneca Falls some thirty years since. He entered the Civil war as a member of the 19th reg iment, N Y. volunteers and was pro moted to the position of captain, win ning the respect of his command by bravery on the battleheld. In 1861 he married Miss Nancy VanRenssalaer of this village and soon after removed to St. Louis where he has since re.sided. He possessed marked business ability and was a man of high character. For several years he held the position of government inspector of liquors and tobaoooes for the state of Missouri. He IS survived by his widow, one son, Theodore and two daughters.

JACOB ^Y HIGH, for many years a resident of this vil lage, died about seven o’clock Tuesday evening, at his home on Chapel street, aged sixty five years. Mr. High had been in gradually failing health for nearly three years and his death was due to a complication of diseases. He a veteran of the Civil war, a mem ber of the Grand Army and a pensioner.

ELLEN RODDY MARKEY, wife of Thomas Markey, died about eight o’clock Friday evening at her liome on Mynderse street, aged fifty- four years. Bright’s disease with which she had suffered for about four months was the immediate cause of death. Mrs. Markey was born in County Louth, Ireland, and was a daughter of the iale Matthew Ruddy, who came to this village about fifty-two years ago. She has resided here since infancy and was known and esteemed by a wide circle of friends and her loss is a severe and crushing blov/ to her surviving fiimiiy and. friends. She leaves a hus band, one daughter. Miss Mary Ellen Markey, one son Thomas F.

The funeral was held at St Patrick’s church at half past nine o’clock Monday morning. JAMES II MC BAIN, died at his home on VanCleef, Sunday morning last, shortly before six o’clock, aged sixty five years. He had been in poor health for a long time, but with exception of a day or so, now and then, kept at his work until last Wednesday morning, when he had a sudden and severe attack of pneumonia which proved too much for his weakened con stitution and ended his life. Mr. Me Bain was of a quiet and unassuming disposition and was held in high esteem by all who enjoyed his acquaintance. He was m the employ of the Goulds M.-imifacluriug Company for thirty- seven consecutive years and for the last few months worked for the Seneca Falls Manufacturing Gonqiany. He leaves beside liis wife, one son Warren C. McBain, and three daughters. Miss Agnes McBain and Mrs. W. II. Davis of this place and Mrs. A. B. Dresser of Syracuse, N. Y. The funeral ser vice was held Tuesday afternoon at three o’clock from his late home. The Rev. S. F. Frazier of the Wesleyan Meth odist church officiated. MRS. JEANETTE DAWLEY, wife of Alonzo Dawley, died at the family residence on Green street about half past eight Friday morning. Mrs. Dawlej’s health had been gradually failing since November last, and the ie of her illness, diag^ied by her physician as intestinal cancer, was ver. itied by the autopsy bold after her death. The last days of her life were marked by pain and suffering, but she was upheld by a bright christlau faith and rare fortitude that gave her strength for the ordeal through which passing and tempered the grief of the loved ones about her bed side. She was sixty five years of age, born in Skaneateles and was a daughter of the late Reuben Tinker of that place. The early years of her life were passed there and at Syracuse where she attended school.

The milliners of Seneca Falls will close their places of business at six Board of Trustees. The village trustees held a meeting on Monday evening. Trustee Frutig reported that Mr. Powell wanted $2, 600 for land desired for the north ap proach of the Rumsey street bridge, if the approach is constructed in direct line with the bridge; if the line of the approach diverges to the east so as to take no more than ten or twelve feet of his green house he would take $2,000. A resolution was then adopted author izing President Purdy to make formal application to County Judge John E. Richardson for the appointment of three commissioners to condemn and place a value on the property of Messrs. Maier and Usher. The Village Attor ney informed the board that each com. missioner was entitled by law to five dollars a day for his services. Some time was consumed in a discussion of the matter of land belonging to Mr. Powell and this finally ended in an agreement that the board, should visit and inspect the property before taking further action. TUe resolution of re cent adoption requiring that all stone side walks built under the new rebate or dinance, be four inches in thickness was rescinded. Following this it was resol ved that the minimum thickness of stone sidewalks is to be two inches. Per mits to build stone sidewalks were granted to William Frutig, M. E. Reagan, William LeFleur, Thomas Grocutt, Joseph Casey. W. E. Hull, W. H. Atkinson, Mrs. Mary C. Car- roll, Thomas W, Bailey, C. H. West- cott, Mrs. Frank Graver, James O Chapin and Samuel Sharp also the Baptist church society. President Purdy presented a petition asking for the adoption of a curfew ordinance. This resulted in a discussion and brought out some caustic remarks from Trustee Kent. The village at. torney was instructed to draw a curfew ordinance to be presented at the next meeting. The Seneca Drun and Bugle Corps were granted permission to use the rooms of the village trustees for re hearsal purposes. Exempt firemen’s certificates were granted to John C. Davis, Edward G. Wessell, Fred Cory, William George and Maynard Jacoby. Migratory Birds. Students of bird life in this latitude e beginning to learn that the mouth of May possesses unusual interest to them. It is during this period of burst ing buds and expanding blossoms that the birds which make their nesting grounds and summer homes in the Canadian wilderness, far north of us, migrate thither from the sunny south where they,have spent the win ter months. The north temperate zone is the highway through which the travellers must pass twice a year, in May and September. One must be stirring with the first faint streaks of daylight to see the passing strangers, for they do not tarry long in one place, fluting from copse to giovo and from bush to bush, always guided by unerr ing instinct on their journey northward. Tiiere are many varieties of these tran sient visitors, among them being some of the most brilliant warblers, whose notes breaking forth in the early dawn falls upon the wondering ear of the listener, arousing a curiosity and interest by the new song, never to be appeased unless one is a close o'o- server. The migratory birds move onward rapidly and it is only those able to devote a few hours daily, during the month of May, to woodland rambles v?ho make their acquaintance. They will return southward iu September and October, when their distant north ern homes are invaded by the wintry blasts that foretell the approach of winter. A little time devoted to the study of these interesting and often ex quisitely feathered and voiced emigrants should convince anyone of the impor tance of laws and practices tending to protect them as well as our own birds from destruction. A Worthy Cause. The officers of Willard State Hospital are making an effort to increase the library of the institution whieh is main tained for the use and benefit of the patients under treatment and to this end voluntary contributions ^re solicited from the general public. The hospital is one of the g reat charitable institutions of the state and cares for nearly 2,300 patients from this hospital district, comprising Seneca and a number of surrounding counties. As an aid in the care and treatment of the unfortunate people who are affiicled with different mental maladies a good permanent library is needed and books, magazines, pictures, etc., can always be advantageously used, although bound volumes are really more desirable because more lasting. Everyone can easily spare a single bound volume, if not more, or a magazine to be mailed to the Will ard State Hospital library and there are many who can afford to aid this charity by sending yearly subscriptions to the leading magazines. All gifts of this kind will prove very acceptable and the people can, if they will, aid this worthy cause with little trouble or expense to themselves, at the same lime helping to lighten the burden of the unfortunate wards of the state. The response to this ax>peal should be immediate and liberal. Resolutions. The hoard of ednoation dopted the followlag;. Th le Ednoationid District )ted the followlag;.

Knight of this village has been appointed store keeper and gauger iu the internal revenue service and will soon be assigned to duty. Waterloo corporation tax levy for 1901 was 16,120, which included the special appropriation of $1,000 for the new hose for No. 7. The levy for 1902 is only $14,060. The annual election of officers of Aetna H. & L. & Fire Patrol Company will take place on Monday evening, June 2nd. The contest for office, it is said will be unusually spirited. The curfew bell now rings at nine o’clock p. ji , instead of eight o’clock formerly, thus giving the grow ing generation an additional hour for innocent amusement each evening. The illustrated sermons by Rev. , F. F. Fuller delivered Sunday evenings at the Christ of Christ, are of most in teresting and instructive character and are being greatly enjoyed by a large congregations. The Waterloo Drgan Company re ceived an order for a car load of organs last week from J . H. Bihl of Tremont. Ohio. The people of that state evi dently know where to purchase first class musical instruments. John O’Malley, aged nineteen years, died last Wednesday of consumption, at his home on Race street. He leaves a father, two brothers and three sisters. The funeral was held Friday morning at St. Mary’s church. The Waterloo Cornet Band has or ganized for the ensuing year with the following newly elected officers; pres ident, Anson Tharp; secretary, Ed ward P a rk; treasurer, George Marcus; director, George Gervin; trustees, George Gervin, Anson Tharp and An son Diltz. School Commissioner Godfrey of Waterloo, announces that the annual impetilive examination for the free iholarsliip in Cornell University to which Seneca connty is entitled, will be held at the Waterloo high school on Saturday, June 7th. The residence of Mrs. Iletlie Vair West William street was slightly damaged, Thursday last, by fire which caught from a gasoline stove. The flames were extinguished by prompt action before the arrival of the fire de partment, and consequently their ser vices were not needed. An old fashioned fourth of July cele bration in this village is the theme of public discussion here now. The fire department is in excellent condition and with a number of visiting com panies, plenty of brass band music and the other features which Waterloo is well qualified to provide, a cele bration could well be arranged here on a much grander scale than in many years. Waterloo is discussing the advisabili ty of celebrating Independence day. Considerable intere.st is being mani fested as it seems to be the general desire to have an old fashioned celebra tion. A number of years have elapsed since the Glorious Fourth has been thus observed herejand it is very prob able that plans will soon materialize for commemorating July 4th, 1902 in a fitting manner. The authorities of this village are very properly taking steps to discon tinue the unlawful use of nickel-in-the- slot machines and to enforce the law prohibiting the sale of liquor on the Sabbath. Their movements in these matters have been somewhat expedited by the action of Seneoa Falls officials in closing the saloons there on Sundays which has resulted in bringing to Wat erloo a class of saloon patronage that is neither orderly nor desirable. ' The action of the officials of both villages will receive the commendation and ap proval of the majority of the citizens. John II. Milliman of this village, disappeared on Friday, May 2d, and has not been seen since, though per sistent efforts have been made to locate him. He is a boatman by occupation and on the morning of May 2d, told his wife that he was going to Geneva to re pair a boat, and was seen in that city. His wife became greatly alarmed be cause he failed to return and reported to the Geneva police. Milliman’s domestic relations were of a pleasant character so that there was no cause for his abandoDiag his family and it is feared that he has either been foully dealt with or accidentally drowned.
