BACHELOR CLUB pIsBANDs.
Too Many of ITS Members Fell Victims
20 the Little Archer.

The Bachelors Club, which for a num-
Der of years was one of the leading social
organizations of the Heights. has dis
banded owing to a large number of its
members leaving to become benedicts. The
few bachelors who were not lucky enough
to secure a wife. came to the conclusion
a few weeks ago that there were not
enough of them left to support the club,
as formerly, and so decided to disband
and organize a new club, in which their
old friends who had married could be-
come members.
The result of the decision was that the
Bachelors" held no more meetings. They
did not give up their pretty rooms, how
ever, which are at No. 408 Palisade ave
nue., but continued to visit them. A few
days ago a new club was organized under
the name of the Unique Club with the fol-
lowing ofticers:-Karl Lenhardt, President;
H. De Winter, Vice-President; w. Kron,,
Treasurer; L. Schaeffer, Recording Sec
retary;. R.. seggel. Corresponding seere-
tary; A. LANCE, Sergeant-at-Arms.
The club has about thirty members, in
Guiding the thirteen bachelors who were
left in the old club at the time it dis
banded.

ANOTHER TELEPHONE GO. FAILS

A Boston Herald" despatch from Fort
Smith. Arkansas, says:-The Bell Tel.
cos rival, the Harrison Tel Co, has at
last succumbed. 1t will be remembered
that some months ago the papers
were filled with the great
things the Harrison Telephone
Co., with its $50, 000,0 900 of paper cap
ital was about to accomplish. Investiga-
ton showed that the main assets of the
Harrison Co.. was an opposition telephone
exchange at Fort Smith, Arkansas, owned
by the Harrison international Construc-
ton Co. After four years of desperate
struggle for existence, this opposition
exchange bias passed into the hands
of the Southwestern Telephone and Tele-
graph Co. ! The exchange was built In a
most thorough manner and cost the
Harrison International Co. over S26. 600.
The Southwestern Co. secures the plant
for less than 80 per cent. of the cost.
The latter operates the territory gener-
ally known as that of the Erie Telephone
Co.

PENNSYLVANIA 3. RS DIVIDEND
Not Expected to Fall OFF Despite the
Hard lime

Notwithstanding the general depression
in business for the past six months it is
generally believed that the Board of Di-
rectors of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, at the special meeting which
is to be held at the latter end of this
month, win declare the same s~emi-annual
dividend which was paid last year, az
per cent.
While the net receipts of the company
on both its systems, east and west of
Pittsburg and Erie, have shown consid-
cradle falling off, it is believed that the
company has earned the dividend. Owing
to the policy of this company to pay
only such dividends as are earned. it is
clared will come out of the earnings for
the present year.
