at future Legislatures 1t Will ask for
an extension of charter so as to allow
it to reach every part Of the state, and
enter into competition with the present
transportation lines, both fer passen-
ger and freight traffic.
Il has been reported by those opposed
TO the extension asked for that a deal
is under consideration by which this
company is to sell its plant and fran
chises to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. This is absolutely denied By
The officials of the road as both false
and malicious. The Wilmington and
New Castle Electric Railway Company
believes that a competing line down the
state in the shape Of an electric road
will prove a paying investment and It
has the capital TO put the same in oper-
alton. If such line would pay the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company it will
pay this company, which has no inten-
ton Of selling out to anybody. 1t ex-
poets TO become and remain a Delaware
Institution, resting on its own founda-
ticn. It's officers say that they do not
come to Delaware asking its people to
furnish the capital with which to ex-
tend its lines. Should any Of the pco-
pie of Delaware however, desire to
purchase stock and become parties in
interest in the undertaking they are
welcome to do so, but the company is
entirely Independent so far as the f.
nancial condition is concerned, and is
willing and will build such extensions
rs may be allowed by the Legislature.
1t is believed further that not only
he merchants and business men Of
Wilmington will be benefited by the in
creased traffic brought to this city, but
hat every farm and every business in
crest along the line to be built will be
1ery materially increased in value, be-
sause of their being brought I'm closer
communication with the markets Of the
sity. and the saving of freight on mat
er transported by this electric line will
mean the margin of profit on many
articles Cf farm produce in this state
Ii can be readily seen what a great

"The Retort Courteous.
From H.rper's Bazar

From H.rper's Bazaar.
In the courtly old city of New Orleans
there lived, some time since, a gentleman
of considerable Intellectual attainment and
reputation, who occupied prominent posi-
tion in one of the city colleges. This gen.
tleman was possessed Of a very sensitive
nature, and still greater absence Of mind.
One day, as the professor was riding
down town in street car, which at the
time was propelled by mule power, a lady
entered the car and walked past the pro-
fessor to take a vacant seat just beyond
him. AS she did SO the mule quite unex-
pectedly turned additional power, CIV
ing the car such a jerk that the lady. STUN
bling over the professors feet, which were
none of the smallest, hung trembling in
the balance for an instant, and then in an
impetuous and unconventional manner,
seated herself squarely in the professors 9
lap. Just at that moment the gentleman
was deeply immersed in some abstruse
meditation on the physical properties of
immaterial bodies, or something else of
equal weight, and paying no attention to
his surroundings, was taken completely
unawares by the lady's evolutions. The
lady, as she sat down, however, instinc-
lively announced her involuntary approach
by the hasty and Mortified ejaculation,
oh, beg your pardon, sir!' emphasizing
the close of her remark by coming forciby
to rest in the gentleman's lap.
The learned gentleman, SO Unexpectedly
recalled to matters mundane. felt that the
hurried apology demanded some courteous
response; but the scientific scintillations of
his rudely jostled brain disturbed the usual
mental connections, SO, after moment s
hesitation, he seized the first sentiment
that came to hand, and hastily exclaimed,
Don't mention 1t, madam; you are entirely
welcome
The remark was intended well, but SEEM
ed to be i'll chosen. The lady rose with in
dignant haste, and. blushing warmly, took
| vacant seat in the far part of the car,
while the professor, after a momentary re-
Election. rose with equal haste, and Jump
ing off the car without waiting for a stop,
walked the rest of the distance down town,
Being New Orleans, the other passengers
| merely smiled pleasantly, while the mule

His seat at the table happened to be in

The poor man had never done such a

make the best of the situation he COM

she preferred anything in particular.
She replied that she would take a little of

He had no IDEA where the soul lay, so
began to cut off a slice of the breast

Then he tried the wing
