James NJ. J. Byron, judge Of the Or
phans' Court of Kent County, died sud-
denly about o'clock Sunday morning
aged sixty-six years. Mr.. Byron was a
prominent and successful farmer until a

town. No man in the county was more
generally respected.
A deal for the purchase of Fenwicks
Islands, near Ocean City,was consummated
last week. The purchasers are Willard

Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents, during
the Winter season, SO many varied attract
ions as the State of Florida. Besides its de-
lightful climate, which to one escaping
from the cold and unhealthful changes OF
the North seems al most ethereal, it is pre-
eminentlY land of sport and pleasure.
Along its eleven hundred miles of salt
water coast and its twelve hundred fresh.
water lakes are fish of almost every con-
ceivable variety, from the migratory tribes
common to Northern waters to the tarpon,
pompano, and others of more tropical
character. Nowhere in all our broad land
can the angler find greater variety OF
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter
finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears, panth-
ers. and wild cats roam at large through
the more sparsely settled regions, while
birds of all kinds may be found in abund-
ance throughout the State. The more novel
sport of alligator and manatee hunting
may also be INDUCED in by the more ad-
venturous tourist
With its matchless climate, its orange
groves, Its rivers and lakes. its bathing, its
fishing and hunting, and its extensive for
ests, Florida presents unrivaled attractions
for the valetudinarian, the lover of nature,
the sportsman, and the explorer.
To this attractive State the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged four per-
sonally conducted tours during the season
Of 1897, leaving by special train January
26, February 8 and %, and March 9. The
first three tours will admit of a sojourn of
two weeks in this delightful land; tickets
for the fourth tour will be valid to return
until May 81 by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip. 5000 from
New York. $500 from Philadelphia, and
rates from other points.
For tickets, Itineraries. and other .infor-
apply to ticket agents, special
booking offices. Of address Geo. w. Boyd.

3treet Station, Philsdslphia.

Send Us the News.

A good piece Of advice to people who
live 1.-The country is to take up the habit
ofwaiting for the newspaper from their
neighborhood. It is q pleasant diversion
as well as profitable one to the mind and
facilitates the passing Of leisure moments.
Time speptIin gathering up the happenings
Of neighboFheod is good practice to the
mind, as it cultivates detail and accuracy
two things which great many lack in this
busy rush Of life. Then. there is sense
of qualification indescribable in reading
something written by ones self. News
papers are nearly always pleased to hear
from any Of their friends in the country
and take great pleasure in publishing the
items Of news they gather and send.

Holiday Tour to Old Point Comfort,

Holiday Tour to Old Point Comfort,
Richmond, and Washington.
For the approaching midwinder vacation
season the Pennsylvania Railroad Conn
pany has arranged another of its annual
holiday tours to Old Point Comfort, Rich
mond, and Washington. The great popu-
larity of these tours in past seasons attests
the high estimation in which they are held.
Old Point Comfort as fashionable
winter resort, and as point of historic in
terest, needs no introduction to the travel
ing public. Nor does Richmond, the one
time capital of the short-lived Confederacy.
Washington, always attractive, will be
made peculiarly so by the festivities of the
holiday season.
Tour win leave New York and Phi1adel-
phia Saturday, December 26. Rates, re-
turning via Richmond and Washington,
$500 from New York, $500 from Phila-
delphia; returning direct, $1,000 from Ne y

portionate rates from other points.

ONE Of the questions engaging the
attention of the Constitutional Con-
vention is that of dividing New Castle
County. To do 80 would be one Of its
wisest acts. Only three counties in
the State with but nine members Of
the Senate, leads to almost constant
troubles Of partizan legislation because
being only three counties. There
would not be that ever recurring
trouble Of going by County lines in
having to choose men Of poor ability
over others Of superior quality. And
not to multiply the reasons, New Cas-
lie County Is large enough to divide
into two Counties making the State
have four of something like similar
proportions, and last but not least,

THE Court of Errors and Appeals
has set a day for the hearing of the
Kent county election case. The judge 8
have named next Monday. They have
done this despite the opposition of the
Democratic politicians who desired to
force upon the people of the State a
contest in the General Assembly that
could haveImeant but little short of re-
volution. The '.Delawarean" has got
ten tothe point where it thinks there
was no legal election in Kent county,
hence no one was elected. 1t bases
this conclusion on the failure to hold
an election in one of the distincts in
Smyrna. The same reasoning would
apply to Sussex county, there not hav-
ing been an election in Dagsboro' hum
dred, except that in Sussex the Return
ing Board gave the certificates of elec-
tion to those having majority on the
face of the returns, they being Demo-
Gratis, while in Kent county the Re
turning Board under the advice Of its
rev olutionary leaders refused to give
certificates Of election to those receiv-
ing the majority vote, they being Re-
publicans. Thus Republicans have
been treated in this State for years and
it is well that at last the Courts have
refused to listen to the appeals of their
partisan politicians. Let the people
have justice. The TRANSCRIPT fay
ored the election of the Republican
Eagle'' throughout the State, favored
it earnestly and loyalty, but its defeat
does NOT prevent our denunciation Of
an effort to illegally and by revolution
ary methods TO cheat the men who were
elected Of their offices. We trust the
Courts may settle the matter SO that
further trouble may be averted.

In the old country fat goose is often
served at the Christmas dinner, and if it is
well seasoned and cooked to q turn, it
makes an exceedingly savory dish. But, Of
course, it does not compare with the time
honored turkey, whose noble proportions.
aaky white breast and generally delicious
flavor will always place the great bird in
the foremost rank of all roast fowls.
The oaks upon which the mistletoe grew
were sacred to the Druids in days of old,
and they used to worship under them in a
devout way. When hung up in room or

thought to possess the, power of keeping
away evil spirits and influences.
Hollyberries are often called Christmas
berries. SO especially given over to holiday
decorations are the glossy, prickly leaves
and rich, red berries of this picturesque
tree. A bit of hollywood is said to bring
one good luck. It should be cut from the
very heart Of the tree, and if in the shape
Of cross the luck will be all the better.

Tours to California.

California has been most fittingly termed
the "Italy of America" All the delicious
balm, the cloudless sky, and the rich ver-
dure Of the great European peninsula are
duplicated in this sunny land of the Pacific.
Here nature basks in the sunshine Of her
beauty; and here she has established her
own sanitarium, where eternal spring in
spires everlasting youth. With the snow
mantled peaks Of the Sierras upon the one
hand, the calm Pacific with its soft breezes
upon the other, and veritible paradise of
flowers, fruits, and plants between, man can
find and needs no lovelier land. To visit
such country is privilege, blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
recognizing the need of more comfortable
and pleasant way of crossing the continent,
inaugurated series of annual tours to
California, running through train of Pull
man palace cars from New York to the Pa
cific Coast, and stopping at the principal
points of interest en- route. The great pop
ularity of these tours demonstrates the
wisdom of the movement.

been arranged to leave New York. PhiIa-
delphia. and Pittsburg, January 27, Feb
ruary "a, and March 27.
The first tour will run direct to San

Route, and return from San Francisco via
Salt Lake City, Denver, and Chicago, al

moth Cave and New Orleans to San Diego,
stopping at the Crescent City, during the
the Mardi Gras Carnival. This tour will
return via Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha,
and Chicago, allowing four weeks in Cali
fornia.
The third tour will run via Chicago,
Denver, and Salt Lake City, allowing pas
sengers to return by regular trains via diff
ferent routes within nine months.
All of these tours, either going or return
ing,lwill pass through the famous Colorado
region, Glenwood Springs. Leadville. and
the Garden of the Gods.
Rates from all points on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad System east of Pittsburg:
First tour, S3l0; second tour. $3.50; third
