associations. Mr.. Walker, who is in Europe

The deadlock between the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company and the Lehigh Irac-
tion company about crossings Tor the Eiec
trio road has been broken, the former
agreeing to put in the crossings where
wanted. Harry King, the well known
shipping contractor, will build the road to
the Upper Lehigh, Sandy Run and Eckley
collieries. and when this will have been
done, almost all the Lohigh region will be
connected by electric roads. The next
step will 90 to connect with the Carbon
and SchuylRill county roads and with
Wilkes Barre and other points IN the Wy

Many people hearing mine cars spoken
about imagine that they are all of u stand
ard size. This, however, is not so. In the
Lehigh region they are often of all imag-
Unable sizes, their cubical contents varying
from 10 cubic feet to 100 and ITO cubic
feet AT one colliery no less than seven
different sized cars are in use at some
collieries, notably the Cross Creek Coal
companys, the standard is said to be 92. 30
cubic feet and all new cars are being made
to conform TO this measurement. There
are many of the coal firms, as \. Pardee &
Co. and q. b. Markle e. Co., whose mine
cars for some purposes are of the largest
size, while for others only the smallest are
used, the sizes Of the gangways aud the
heights Of the veins having much to dc
with the dimensions OF mine cars.

A very popular young preacher was the
recipient Of much attention on the part of
the ladies Of his congregation, and one
shy aud blushing spinster on the occasion
of his birthday chose for him a pretty
silver inkstand at is. She gave to the
clerk the following penciled inscription to
be engraved upon its base: "To my pastor,
from his grateful Malvina S." The chang
ing of an I'm" into an en-" however,
made all the difference in the world; for
the astonished young clergyman read:
"Tony Pastor, from his grateful, etc"
and naturally wondering what could be
the connection between the theatrical
manager and Miss S., whom he looked
upon as one of the pillars of his church,
he sent the package back to the jewelers.
to be forwarded, as he supposed, to the
rightful owner. 1t was not until the young
lady herself, wondering why her gift was
not acknowledged, made inquiries at the
shop that the egregious blunder was dis
coyered.-New York Tribune.

How He Got tho Money.

William S. Walsh says this story was
told him by a travelling friend. The friend
was in Paris. Presenting check at a
bank, he was met with the customary
formula, "You must be identified"
'Whom shall | get--the American con-
sul2" with shade of sarcasm in his tone.
''No; don't know the American consul"
The traveller objected that it was rather
hard to expect Of a total stranger that he
should have already effected an entree into
the society graced by the teller. But the
latter was obdurate. Then tie traveller
had brilliant idea.
He went into a neighborng cafe and
called the waiter to him. "Do you know
the teller of that bank?" he asked, point
ing to the building "Oh, yes; he stops in
here every day for his lunch" "Well,"
said the traveller, 81 want you to step into
the bank with me and tell him that am
NJ. -, of New York" The waiter
shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, monsieur,
but don't know you" "That makes no
difference; here's half franc" The argu-
ment was conclusive. The waiter took the
tip, accompanied the traveller to the bank
and the teller accepted the Identification
without a murmur.-OnCe Week.

An Idea for a penholder.

Here is pretty and new idea for PEN
holder; Take goose quill, or chicken
feather, If 1t is large enough, and dip it
into dye of delicate pale lavender.
Paint pansies Of different shades of purple

have him tip the end with small silver
casing to hold the pen. This makes PEN

About year ago young man jumped
from Lake Ontario steamboat in midlake
and gave the officers and passengers a
fright from which they have hardly recov-
cred yet. After padding about and scream
ing for help he struck out for the steamer
only after lifeboat had been manned and
launched. Recently this athletic genius
overturned Broadway cab when n com.
panion "dared" him to. He placed his
shoulder TO the wheel and cab and horse
lay in the gutter, one common ruin. A
prompt and liberal application of American
greenbacks allayed the ire of the cabman,

in Mexico are along the Gulf of California
extending north to the Arizona line. the
coal is anthracite, or semi.Rnthracite. and
