THE DEAL WILL STAND
At All Events Reading Officials Express
the Utmost Confidence.

the Utmost CONFIDENCE,
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-The bold
attack made by A. J. Cassatt upon the
Reading Railroads lease of the Lehigh
Valley and jersey Central roads is tho
subject Of the severest criticism among
all classes of business linen, and indeed
among all people interested in the future
welfare of Philadelphia, Outside the
Immediate circle of the Pennsylvania
railroad officials and their dependents
no doubt is expressed of the constitu-
tionality of the lease, and no fear is ex-
pressed by the Reading of the result of
any legal proceedings if tho Pcnnsyl-
vania railroad should succeed in having
such inaugurated. There is nothing,
however, to indicate that Governor Pat
tison and Attorney General Hensel have
any intention OF moving in the matter.
Said Spencer Erwin, one of the bro
kers active in carrying ont the deal:
1.-The fact of the matter is, in a nut
shell, the Pennsylvania railroad people
have been very BADLY left and they
have realized it too late TO keep them
selves out of am embarrassing position.
1t is said, and have good reason to be-
lieve with truth, tthat they began to I'M
derstand the situation on last Satur-
day, Feb. 6. 1t was at that time they
approached the Lehigh Valley people
and asked them to suspend negotiations
with the Reading syndicate, adding that
they were prepared to offer better terms
than the Reading. The only satisfac-
tion they got, however, was that the
deal had gone too far and that they
were too late. To put it in another way,
they were outgeneraled.

MY VALENTINE.

It had been on my mind some little time
To send my love valentine,
One with hearts and doves ana things
That told OF love and wedding ring.
So went to town one Saturday
And smiled atd Whistled all the way,
And bought me one all pink and white
Covered all over with something bright.
looked at it fondly DER and DER
As hastened home from the notion store
But ere passed the dwelling place
Where oft I'd seen my loves fair face,
saw her come out so bright and gay
With another fellow, and ride away.
Then tore my valentine all apart,
And Hung 1t down beside the cart.
Ientered my home in deepest gloom
70 Ind my love in the sitting-room,
And took my hand In her own sweet
style.
While she said with her rosebud mouth.
This is brother Tom from the South,
How wanted to say one little word
That this sist3 of Tom could not have
heard.
Because you see had not time
To buy ne another valentine.
And loved her far too much to wait
Another hour to try my fate.
SO while father was telling Tom of the
COWS.
The chickens the pigs aud latest plows.
And mother had gone to bring some cake.
said 10 my love, Can you somehow
make
Room In your heart for life like mine.
VIII you take me, Kate, for your valen-
tineY"
She looked for moment out on the lea,
Then turned her brown eyes back to me.
And asmother entered the room again.
And the suowiiaScs fell all down the
lane,
She gently slipped her hand in mine
And l knew l had won my valentine.

Pencader hundred Is we admit

town or village anywhere near the
center. Flasgow our voting place is
about center. III divided. both voting
places should be in Glasgow. Why
divide it 2 In Kent county, some of
the citizens OF Clayton, which is in
henton HID, asked to have that hun
cred divided and give them a voting
place ut Clayton, but the leading men
of the hundred thought as the vote
polled, there was less than 800, there
would be no difficulty, voting them at
one place as heretofore, though the
election machinery might DO more
complicated, What is he matter with
Pencadef, can't she poll her vote OF

OF 600Y
The commissioners of Kent County
are an Intelligent set of men. They
must know what they arc doing. They
divided Duck creek hundred and made
both voting places in Smyrna, ON the
same street. nearly. opposite each
other. Under the law we are entitled
to one booth for every 100 electors, or
fractional part thereof. That will give
Pencader hundred four booths. An
elector is allowed to occupy a booth
not longer than three minutes. That
gives us four votes every three
minutes, giving every eleetor the full
length of time the law allows. AT that
ratio we can certainly poll 500 votes
within tho time allowed to hold tho
polls open. We have all to be regis
tered before we can vote. The writer
is under the impression that there
will be more trouble in registering than
in voting. The registering has to be
done In seven days; the law does not
limit the time OF an eleetor in regis
tering as it does voting The register
can do as the ASSESSORS do, dilly daily
and hinder all tho time immaginable,
and there is no one to hinder
What advantage is their in dividing
the hundred 1t can't lie on the plan
of economy. To divide it will give us
fourteen election officers instead of
seven, two rooms to rent, and two ex
ira booths to lie erected. These all
have to be paid for, VINO can toll what
it is going to cost to hold the next
election Who can tell what these
booths are to cost. The law does not
put any limit to the expense Of them.
Wouldn't it DO we'll for our Levy Court
to look now to having full. treasury
The election next November will make
heavy draw on The treasury.

Young Mrs blaine win Win.

Sioux FALLS, S. D., Feb. 15.-The di.
vorce case of Blaine versus Blaine il
practically settled. The defense will not
put in an appearance, and the decree
will be granted to Mrs. Blaine by de-
fault. The defendant, so says Che
judges order, has disobeyed every order
OF the court, and is now in contempt for
having failed to pay the suit fees and
alimony. The attorneys for the defen.
dant will not go to Deadwood, and will
put in no answer to the order. This
means that the case will go by default,
giving Mrs. Blaine her decree and prob
ably the custody of the child.

The Situation at Conl Creols,

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 15.-The
labor people at Coal Creek have been
holding numerous conferences during
the past two days. One thing which
has caused some of the conferences was
the proposition made by the Tennessee
Mining company to conduct the mine at
Briceville on the cooperative plan. The
miners have not fully decided yet what
they will do, but the indications are that
the offer will be accepted. 1t is said
now that if the offer is not accepted the
company will sell it's property TO the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway com
pany, the penitentiary lessees, who will
put convicts to work. The state has the
larger part OF her standing army en-
camped on the hill at Coal Creek, and
the expense is heavy. 1t is true that il
the troops are withdrawn the convicts
will be released again.
