The swell soolstx Girl.

The visitor to New York and the
average citizen who works for his liv-

swell society girl unless he catches
glimpse of her in her box at the opera
or sees her roll by in glittering drag

one more thoroughly guarded than
the girl in question it would be diff

season has been so much shortened of

ago social festivities began in Septem-

town before July. Nowadays fashion

The romantic girl, the novel-reading
girl, the spirituelle girl and the "ac-

The girl of the period is very bright, a
bit horsey and uncommonly attractive.
If her flow of spirits is sometimes
forced and palpably unreal, who can

THE a. & p. & ST. FE PUR.
CHASE.

The Colorado division, which is
branch of the Southern Pacific,
running from the Needles to
Mohave, a distance of two hun
dred and forty miles, has been
sold to the Atchison. Topeka and
Santa Fe R. r. Co. This com.
pany, we learn, is also negotiating
for the purchase of the former
company's road from DemiDg to
Oakland, and it is rumOred that,
the sale and transfer will be made
during the coming month. The
sale was nOminally made to the
A. & P. company but is evident
that the Santa Fe company is the
real purchaser. By the terms
and conditions of the sale, the
A. & P. or the A. T. & S. F. COM
panieS are entitled to run their
trains to Oakland over the line of
the Southern Pacific. The anti
cipated sale of the road from
Deming to Oakland may be the
the probable cause that the s. P.
r. r. Co. proposes to construct
only a temporary bridge at Yuma.
Should this new company take
hold of this line, we shall still
have an abiding faith in their
successful management and a
spirit of liberality to its patrons
1t is a gigantic company, com>
posed mostly OF Boston capitalists
and probably is the richest COM
pany in the country. 1t has been
since its completion, energetic
and successful and has neither
spared the extension of its roads
on account of means, nor has ii
acted in any stingy manner with
its patrons and travelling public,
as is custom with most railroads.
The retiring company. too,
deserves a merited credit for their
stubborn will and energy in sur
mounting so many difficulties al d
constructing so many lines and
miles of road. The term stingy
has been often applied, but con-
sldering their large outlay of
expenses and many disasters and
mishaps, they had nece ssarily 10
