Death of a Well-knOWn and
Eccentric Man.

John Jones, one of the most picture sque
characters that ever inhabited this sec
ton, died at his home near Landenberg
a few days ago, at the age of IS years.
He was born in the township in which
he died, and tradition has it that be was
educated for the law. At all events he
was a we'll read man and gifted with a
flow of language in which few men
could excel him. He could quote the
ancient classics with great facility, and
was we'll versed in legal learning. His
command of the English language was
excellent and when occasionally he be-
came interested in some topic it was a
pleasure to hear him discourse. Added
to these graces of mind, however, was
an eccentricity that exhibited itself III
his personal appearance, and in his sur
roundings. Although rich, he dressed in
the most careless fashion, and his farm
buildings looked like those of a poor
renter rather than the abode a wealthy
land-helder. He drove about the neigh
borhood in an old ramshackle wagon, bis
head adorned with red wig, below
which was a two inch fringe of snow
white hair. He was, however, widely
known, and enjoyed the distinction of be-
ing eccentric. Aduance.

THE HANDSOMEST DINING
CARlN THE WORLD.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Standard.
From the New York Times, July 2lst, 1897
The vast strides which the art of pre-
pairing and serving meals on fast express
trains has made in the past few years is
perfectly illustrated by the new dining
car, No. 705, which has just been turned
out of the Altoona shops and added to
the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad
between New York. Philadelphia. and
Washington.
The new car is model of the car
builders skill. 1t differs little in size
and outward appearance from its pre-
decessors, but in interior decoration and
arrangement it is matchless.
The body of the car is divided into
three ompartments-the kitchen and
pantry at the forward end, the dining
saloon in the centre, ana lockers and
cold air closets in the rear. The kitchen
is admirably appointed for its purpose.
1t cont aims large range, on which three
cooks will prepare the viands, steam
heating table, lockers for provisions, and,
in fact, every appliance that could be
found in any kitchen of a public house
In addition to this compliment of appur-
tenances, there is just forward of the
range, on the outer side of the car, a
very large cold air repository for the
storage OF meats, embracing space enough
to preserve fresh meat for run to the
Pacific Coast and return.
Next to the kitchen, and communicat.
ing with 1t by windows in the dividing
partition, is the pantry. This is truly a
unique apartment. Its floor space is
about eight by seven, and it's inner wal
is a continuous succession of little doors
that open into lockers for silver, china
glassware, and all the paraphernalia Of
first CLASS restaurants outfit. There
are also cold air recep' acles Tor ice cream
butter. and milk. Dividing the pantry
from the main dining saloon is an ella
borate buffet, having any number of con
venient drawers disposed beneath the
main cabinet, which has front of plate
glass. Behind this translucent surface
there glisten the most exquisite glass
ware, rich china, and cleaning silver
The buffet is 80 situated that it fronts thu

MIR. Singerly's Yacht, Paper and
Mills.

The Philadelphia correspondent of the
Wilmington Morning Neus gives the fol.
lowing interesting gossip corc"rning Mr..
VIM. NJ. S,ngerly.
Mr.. Singerly of the Philadelphia Re.
cord will build new yacht. The Rest
less, which many people insist belongs to
Postmaster General Wanamaker. is still
owned by the Record publisher, but Mr..
Wanamaker has an option npon her and
will probably become her owner The
new boat will be but sixty ieet long, and
will be used principally upon the Chesa-
peake in the vicinity OF Mr.. Singerly's
paper mills. This is but one of the en-
terprises in which the genial editor of the
popular paper will embark. The Record
has risen so rapidly in public favor with
in the last two years, and its popularity
is Increasing to so great an extent that
several important changes are at present
nnder consideration by it's owner. As
soon as possible new presses will be in
troduced and the paper enlarged so as to
give more news. The Record office now
has four presses which cost the modest
little sum of $G0,0 each and yet they
are inadequate for the present purposes.
A new stereotyping process will be ush-
cred in with the improvements which is
said to possess many advantages over the
present method in time saving and neat
ness of work. Numerous other advance
ments will be made throughout the en-
tire establishment which will place the
paper on an equal footing with the most
prominent journals OF the world. Phila
delphia is waking up in newspaper enter
prises and the Record prop ,ses to be at
the head of the heap if snch thing be
possible. Mr.. Singarly i. evidently not
half so much afraid ~ protection as his
Journal would seem to indie te. He has
recently purchased il farm Of 220 acres at
Elkton, Md. and will stock it with sheep.
Perhaps Appraiser Leach's decision in
the worstcd matter has lad something to
10 with MIR. Singerly's desire to raise
wool. It. is not generally known that |
much OF the paper used here by the big
journals comes from Mr.. Siugcrly' S mills,
neither is it known that the government |
tons OF his manufacture every |
year. Such is the case, however, and his |
paper mills, as well as his journals, are |
renowned in every part of the
Union.
