The. Night Migratinr birds.

The weird, sweet, annual mystery Of
the night migrating birds has begun.
Last night, sitting in o canoe on the
lake, the listener heard for a long time
the soft. aerial twitterings and calls
which, mean to the birds, boundo their
long journey, perhaps from Canada to
Florida. what keeping hold of hands,.

On, on, indeed! f
P All night long, no doubt, one might
hear the soft calls ana even the fiutter,

needle, but there is no man who has
surveyed the North American continent

Tho appearance of Mrs. James Brown
Potter at Days theater recalls a con-
v~ersation that I had recently with u
lady who is a friend of James Brown
Potter.
Jimmie Potter told me not long
ago. she said. that he was ready to
take his wife back whenever she was
willing to come and never ask a ques-
tlon. He said he had kept his home as
much like it was when she was mistress
OF it as was possible, and he had taken
pains especially to keep her room just
as she had left it, SO that if by any
chance she should ever wish to come
back she would find a welcome in the
familiar things that are there. He de.
clared that he did not care anything at
all about what the world might say. A
home was waiting for his wife when.
ever she wanted it"
There is a touch of pathos in that dec
laration which is not inconsistent with
the devotion that James Brown Potter
always showed to his brilliant wife.
To selfish natures this declaration
wonld seem most weak, but to those
people who love only once, and then
forever-and l doubt not that there are
such, although they may be few-the
attitude of James Brown Potter will be
thoroughly. understood.
Altruism sometimes reaches to the
plane.o of beroism, and the unselfishness
of this man is indeed lofty, but for all
that think it most improbable that
Mrs. James Brown Potter will ever
take advantage of the love that seems
never to have left her and keeps a
home always ready for her.-Cholly
Rnickerbocker in New York Recorder.

Development of Street Railways.
One looks back very short distance to
see the beginnings Of these great fortunes
It was little more than 2 years ago that
P. A. B. Widener, returning enthusiastic
from examining the cable roads of San
Francisco persuaded his associates in
Philadelphia to introduce the cable system
there. 1t was less than II years ago that
Jacob Sharp broke ground for the surface
line which was to take the place of the
stages which had ratified over the cobbles
of Broadway for SO many years. 1t was
only three years ago that rapid transit was
introduced on Broadway Wonderful has
been the development of the street rail

Especial Correspondence

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4.-There have
been many Napoleons of finance, but only
two street railway Nayoleons, and these
two have been twin rulers. They are W
l.. Eikins. Jr., and P. A. B. Widener of
this CITY. After winning series of re-
ruarkable battles in Philadelphia, Pats
burg and Chicago they have announced
RECENTLY that they will retire from the ac-
tive field in those three cities and retain a
controlling interest in their New York
street railway property alone. Their OBJ
iect in doing this is to obtain relief from
the strain of an active personal participa-
tion in a chain of great business enter
prises. They will continue to own stock
in the street railways in which they have
been interested, but they will leave the
management. of the properties to others
At the beginning of 1895 Messrs. Elkins
and Widener controlled more than 500
miles of street railways. They did not own
a majority of the stock in all the com
panies, but they and their friends in COM
bination did, and the Elkins and Widener
policy governed street railway corpora.

When the Elkins- Widener combination
began to acquire street railway property
in Philadelphia, there were only 100 miles
of roads in the city. The introduction Of

IL.
The basis of representation in the call for
the Republican State convention to be held
at Portland, Thursday, April 9th, 1896, for
the purpose of nominating two. electors for
President and Vice President of the United
States, four delegates at large and four alter
mates to attend the national Republican
convention to be held at st. Louis, Missouri,
June 16th 1896, is as follows;
Each city, town and plantation will be en-
titled to one delegate and for each rs votes
cast for the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor in 1894, an additional delegate, and for
fraction of forty votes in excess of seven
ty five votes a further additional delegate.
That there may be no misunderstanding,
the secretary of the committee has made a
classification of delegates based upon this
representation. The town or plantation
which threw seventy-four votes is, under this
call, only entitled to one delegate In order
to get second delegate 1t must have
thrown seventyfive votes for ,sd the Republican
ton of 40 votes to give another delegate
must be in excess Of seventy-f votes.
It is hoped that il any errors are dis
coverd in the list they will be promptly
reported to the secretary so that all mis-
takes may be corrected

Sunday School tells this story: s'While
we were haying up on the place where
j. S. Clapp lives, in Hungry Hollow,
one of the party had largo, lank coach
dog. During the dinner hour we com
menced throwing out scraps of food to
the dog, which he deyoured with such
avidity that my tather-in-law took a
piece of paper, spread some butter on it
and gave il to the dog. The paper went
down as readily as the food. An old pair
of boots was lying around there and he
next ont the straps off these, buttered
them and threw them to the dog. Same
result. Next he cut strips of leather
from the boots, woye them together, but
tered the strips, several feet in length.
and threw them down. These the dog
deyoured with apparent eagerness, until
he had actually eaten that pair of boots
except the heels and taps'
