da1ghter-in-law anda lady friend took
a drive over the hills and through the
beautiful wales north of Media, on
Sunday mornlng,in order to enjoy the
inviRorating breezes and admire the
beautiful prospects that abound in
that fertile region. The collector is
looking well, and gaining In avoirdu-
pois, notwithstanding the intrigues
OF certain malcontents, and Is sanguine
OF a Republican triumph at the COM
Ing election In Pennsylvania.
1t Is true, he is not as red-headed. for
his looks are evidently growing thin
ner, but he Is just as hopeful as he was
a scorce OF years ago, and Just as cap
able OF doing yeoman's service for his
party. He belongs to that class who
never complain OF adverse fortune,
but is always ready, after SGT back. to
pick his flint and try again.
lie is useful man wherever placed,
and II all politicians in that State pos.
sessed the same suavity OF temper,
and the same disposition to harmonize
the Republican majority In that State
in 1892, 1t would reach loo, 900 without
regard to whether II was a Harrison
or Blaine banner under which they raj
lied.

It appears that the electric road
from West Chester TO Lonape, with its
equipment, will cost about $4,000.
OF this amount some 40, 900 was sub
sctibed, leaving $4,000 to he raised by
the Issue of bonds, endorsed by the
W. 4 N. X. i. Co., with the guarantee
OF 5 per cent. interest per annum. As
n result these bonds were disposed of ut
5 per cent. premium. Although the W.
" N. has not paid a dividend during
the thirty years of its existence, lis an
nual earnings are greatly In excess OF
Its running expenses, but it has been
thought best to apply this excess to
making improvements, and providing
for Increased business. II the West
Chester subscribers for stock do not
receive dividends they will have the
satisfaction of knowing that property
In their borough will increasein value,
and the road will prove great public
benefit.
