ELECTRIC RAILWAY MOVEMENTS
Proposed Extensions from West Chester
TO Meet the Wilmington 4 Northern
Railway.

Proposed Extensions from West Chester
Meet the Wilmington q Northern
Railway.
number of energetic citizens of Mar
shnllton, near West Chester, met Thursday
night at that place for the purpose Of
pushing forward the project of an electric
road from UnionYille to West Chester via
Marshallton. 1t will connect with the
Wilmington Il Northern railroad at Glen
Hall. The West Chester morning Republi-
can says
The distance from West Chester to
Glen Hall is about seven miles. The route
is unusually level. at no place exceeding
80 feet grade 1t is estimated that the
expense of building the road would he
about $4,000 per mile, including all cost Of
bridges.
The power TO operate the road has been
quite generously provided by the brandy
wine creek at Cope's bridge The water
power at that point for nine months of the
year is equal to lOU-horse power, and for
the remaining three months 5O-hOrse
power. Thus nearly all the expense of
fuel and help to furnish the requisite
power is obyiated,
THE proposed road will run within
three and oIe-half miles of Downngtown.
1t is quite probable that line from that
point would follow the east branch of the
lirandywine and meet the new road about
Edwin L. migrants, thus making it con
tinuous to Brandywine Park some three
miles in length
A committee of leading citizens has til,
matter in hand. A large number of shares
lave already been sold.

Queer Ceremonies by which the Bride

Compared with the simple rites of less
civilized people. our marriage ceremo-
ny seems trying ordeal Tor young
and bashful couple to go through.
The Cherokee form of marriage is per-
haps the simplest and most expressive
of any. The man and woman merely
Join hands over a running stream, en-
blematical of the wish that their future
lives, hopes and aspirations should
flow on in the same channel.
Between the mountains of India and
Persia is powerful tribe, among
whom an extraordinary custom pre-
walls. Women's rights apparently
have received full recognition, for the
ladies Of the tribe can choose their
own husbands. All single lady has
to do when she wishes to change her
state is to send a servant to pin
handkerchief to the hat of the man on
whom. her fancy lights, and che is
obliged to marry her, except he can
show he is too poor TO purchase her at
the price her father requires.
The way the Singaie5e and Tartar
tribes have OF popping the question is
about as singular as their marriage
rites The man sends and purchases
the lady's wearing apparel, Of course
if she does not like the gentleman she
need not part with the contents Of her
ward ODE, but If he is the favored ono
she readily does So knowing that
when the evening comes they will
be returned to her by the sutton in
person.
In certain parts OF Africa a-n1lstom
once prevailed (and may sf1Iegf the
intended bride bringing a boWf or
calabash of water for the bridegroom
to wash his hands in. If he conde-
scended to do so she there and then
acknowledged him as her lord and
master, and, moreover. drank the
water as a proof OF her love and fdel-
a copious shedding OF tears of joy and
thankiiullns5s accompanied the latter
act.
In some parts of India an extraor-
binary marriage ceremony is perform

drive a cow and calf into the water,
and then all three lay a hand on the
cows tail while the priest pours some
water on it from q brass vessel, by
which act the couple are joined for

priest claims the COW and calf, to-
gether with all money the happy pair
may give to the idols to propitiate
them, as a recompense for his trouble.

CORRESPONDENCE.


will you allow me space in your
paper to answer some of the many
questions that have been asked since
my return from the Alliance con-
venLiOn recently held in Minneapolis,
also to give my views on some of the
resolutions adopted at the con-
VentiUn.
! viii first answer the questions
that have been asked of me in regard
10 my opinion of Mr.. Sax / have been
told by number of men that Mr.. S.
isan anarchist, and l am asked if
do not Chink he is, say decidedly no.
] have beer acquainted with Mr.. Sax
for number Of years, and have heard
him talk in public and in private,
aud | believe hiss views are as far
from anarchy as-the east is from the
west. What is an anarchist, or
rather What is anarchy? 1t is where
there is no government and the
people do as they please; an anarchist
believes III forcibiy taking from the
itch and distributing it equally
nmong all; an anarchist does not
believe ia law order or government,
1Ir. S. believes in all of these, and
would advocate the rcsogt,ng to arms
to put down such It class Of people.
Mfr. S. may sometimes use extray-
igant language, and who 1 ask, does
lot, when they are in earnes'; If
either Of the old parties use the same
rxtravdgant language it is all right,
but If d TefOrmcr uses such language
j. is anarchy. This kind of talk Is
gotten up TO injure Mr.. Sax and the
Alliance, and to retard the work of
the peoples party, but the work cam
llnt be stopped or retarded, onward
10 victory through the ballot box is
thc watcb-word. I will now leave

There will be no war with Chill,
we couldn't afford to fight bantam,
though the blood of Ferdinand and
Isabel may course through its veins,
and no European country wants to
tackle us just for fun. The Euro
peans don't know ours strength, we
don't know it our selves;after fighting
five or ten years we would be stronger
than when we began. 1t is hardly
possible for the mind of man to con-
ceiVe the resources Of this country
for war purposes. A big war might
be the best thing that could happen
to our nation. War brought US into
our extravagant way of living, and
created the desire for fabulous
fortunes, and war might bring us
