CLAYMoNT, Aug. 3l,.-The news of the
death of Mrs. Ida Sloan Hartranft, for
merly Miss Ida Sloan Bigger, causes sor-

Charles Bigger. and was married about
year ago. Only few weeks ago she
visited Claymont with her husband and
infant babe, and seemed very well and
happy. She was scarcely 20 years of age,
and her quiet, kind disposition won for
her host of friends. The funeral will
take place from her Philadelphia home to-
morrow. All the sorrowing friends have
the sincere sympathy of the Claymont
neople.

West Chester Local News.
Chester county has within her borders
q man who is perhaps the oldest person
residing in the State. He is colored
Individual, Risdin Anderson by name,
and he makes his home with his nephew,
Samuel Bailey, in little hut in the edge
of the woods just north of Parkerville.
Anderson claims that he was born in
Smyrna, DEL, but moved to Chester
county 40 years ago. Some of the older
residents who knew him at that time
say he was then very old man. e.
The old mans memory is as keen as
that of a man of 90, and he converses
with all who visit him quite intelligently.
His limbs, however, have grown very
shaky during the past few years, and il
is now quite evident that his course Is
nearly run. He never goes away any
distance from the house.
His nephew, who is man up in the
seventies, was in West Chester yesler-
day.

There is no other locality, even the
boosted climate of southern France, that
can show such stable and equable
range of heat and cold. The health seek
er need fear no sudden changes. A little
attention to clothing and he can bid colds
and infammations defiance. In cases OF
death from tubercular disease the New
Mexico rate is only 3 in 1000.
This is the lowest known record, and 1t
must be remembered that the local con-
tineent Of consumptives is daily aug
mented by the immigration Of those who
seek respite from that dreaded scourge.
The record of deaths at Santa Fe is
much lower than the territorial average.
In New England the consumptive death
rate is 25 out of every 1000 of the com
mun;ty: in Minnesota it is IL, and
throughout tho southern states six per
1000. This city enjoys the spring eli

the summer climate of Wisconsin, Michd-
