DEAR FATHER-Have been unable %
write lately. a. have spent most Of my
time in wheeling. Have succeeded in
making very fast record for myself
and am now doing great time. The ma
chine I have been using is one Of the old
fashioned kind, rather heavy, with non.
detachable chain and ball bearing. Not
withstanding this, I expect to lead all
competitors in the go-as-you-please race
tonight and get away easy. Your AZTEC.

The ,snnlre Mnddle.

Much speculation is being indulgcd in by
the residents of this town and Mahanoy City
as to the effect Of Judge Pershings decision
declaring the election of the Borough Justices
Illegal. A prominent Pottsville attorney
said yesterday that the decision is legal
custer and requires no additional order or
writ Of court and that the present Justices
cannot execute a legal document or render
"a legal and binding judgment in any case.
Others contend that the court must serve
legal notice upon the present incumbents,
and the court will likely be asked to do SC
after the election. If this is done then the
Governor will be asked to fill the vacancies
until the spring election or until the Supreme
Court passes upon the appeal taken by the
present Borough Justices.

A Boston philosopher told me last summer
that the chief industry of New England
now was the summer boarder Without the
income from Western travellers which goes
to the railroads, the hotels and those who
furnish supplies to them, New England would
be poor indeed-poorer than when the aban-
doned farm was one of her principal prod
ucts few years ago. Travelling now is COM
parattvely cheap. Twenty-Five dollars will
take one all along the New England coast
from New York in perfect comfort, and one
can live in a dozen different localities in the
summer at little greater expense than to
stay at home. Tens of thousands of people
now make an annual pilgrimage to the coast
of New England from the interior and go
bSck in September or October refreshed and
invigorated for the winters work. To those
who go to Boston it is only days sail to

Graham Bell has a delightful summer home
