THE CHANGE OF ROUTE.
The Chester & Wilmington Electric Rail
way Co. TO save 20 Minutes on the Trip
VIII Avoid Grade Crossings.


The Chester s. Wilmington Electric Rail
way Co. TO save 20 Minutes on the Trip
wiz Avoid Grade Crossings.
Chester Times.
The Chester Traction Co. has about de-
CITED TO change the route of the Whining
ton extension ana instead of going through
the borough of Marcus Hook, as was at first
intended, they will extend the line from
Tins city down through Trainer, following
the Ridge Road in Linwood and joining the
PIKE below Claymont station. President
Clark, together with General Manager Fox
and Superintendent Maclayden have been
going over the new route during the past
Jew days ana the president is very fayora-
BILE to the change.
In order to 90 down into Delaware by tho
new route, the company will be Obliged to
purchase the right of way from the various
property owners from the city line to where
tue road joins the pike at Claymont, and
VIII also have to lay additional track, but
tins expense will be more than offset by the
TACT That the company will escape the over
head bridge at Claymont where the line
crosses the p, w. & Il. railroad This bridge
alone would cost about $4,000. Then again
the company will not have to build an iron
bridge over Naaman's Creek and will also
escape the expense Of the trestle work lust
below Market street, Marcus Hook, ali of
which would have to be done il the conf
Iany snouiu so down TO the Post hoau
through Hook. On the new route the com
pany may have to erect trcstle across the
low land ut Claymont but this will be only
a small one.
Another feature to be gained by the new
route IS the saving of lime, Tor by going
down the Ridge Road, the trip to Whining.
ton can be made in 20 minutes less than on
the Hook route.
The company, it is said, will be welcomed
along the new route, several of the large
property owners already having come to
them and told them that they desired the
road to go down the Ridge Road. II the
line Is extended, it will take all the Trainer
and ainwood travel from the Hook line and
the latter road will not need so many cars
each day. and in all probability cars will be
run less frequently on this branch.
The change OF route will be very much re-

A PICTURE or HAWAII.

Drawn by a Resident-Good Reading for
the Foolish Ones Who Urge Annexation.
Hawaii Herald, March 2ith.
Some time ago the Honolulu papera
published the announcement thai Rev.
ID. p. Birnie of the Central Union
Church had resigned the pastorate.
To those on the inside this was not a
great surprise RS it was understood the
reverend gentleman had asked for a
six months leave of absence with full
pHy and the request was refused by the
trustees of tho church.
A reporter for the Bulletin recently
interviewed Mr.. BIrnie on the con.
ditions existing in the islands. His
remarks on that occasion we're greater
surprise than anything the reverend
gentleman has done or said during his
residence here and some of his friends
were willing 10 believe that Mr..
Birnie's failing was given in Pick
wickian sense. After the interview
was published he made the statement
that the remarks we're in connection
with debate on the race problem in
hawaii. Following is the interview
The white man, says tho reverend
gentleman, "cannot hold his own in

me that bis finger no longer bled when
he cut it. One gentleman, whom BIZ
mentions, sends his family to a colder
climate every year. because il is
cheaper to pay stenme, fares than
ductor's bills. l tell you it is wrong
for citizens and papers to urge the i'm
