Why the English Are Brave.

Sir Walter Besant comments upon
the Frenchman's view Of the English
thus: Just after reading the latest ac-
counts Of the battle of Omdurman, l
was turning over the pages of
French traveller in England. He al
lows the great courage Of the English
nation; to this quality he pays the just
tribute Of admiration. But he ac-
counts for it in a remarkable and UNI
expected manner. You will be sur4
prised. dear reader, to learn that our
fellows fought so well at Atbara and
at Omdurman because-unless the ma
tional character is completely changed
they are possessed of the English
melancholy We are so sad that we
care nothing about our lives. We are
all like that soldier of Antigonous,
who was the admiration of the army
for his intrepidity. The King, obsery-
ing that he was of a pale and sickly
appearance, sent him to the physicians
who removed a painful disorder.
Alas his valor ceased as soon as he
could enjoy life, he desired to prolong
It. Ny traveller also informs me that
the Chevaller Bayard, the bravest Of
his countrymen, was always ILL., while
Richard Occur de Lion, the renowned,
became the Hammer of Islam while
he was suffering horribly and con-
tinually from a quartan fever. Had
he recovered and escaped the arrow
of Gourdon, that glorious Captain
would perhaps have become a pol
troOn After this, it will not surprise
us to hear that the sidar's army was
composed entirely Of troops suffering
from melancholla or toothache."

on the authority Of a prominent I.e-
high Valley official the statement was
made Saturday that on Jan. J.. 1899.
that company's long cherished desire
to gain an entrance to Scranton will
be realized by its coming into control
of the Delaware and Hudson road be-
tween this city and Wilkes Barre.
Only recently the Valley company
suffered options to expire on West
Lackawanna avenue property which it
contemplated purchasing for depot pur-
poses. \ route had been surveyed by
way of Pittston, Austin Heights and
Taylor, through West Scranton with
its terminal in the vicinity of Dock
ash place. After considering the mat
ter the company came to the conclu-
sion that the depot site was undesir-
able because Of its distance from the
central city and abandoned the idea of
reaching here by that route.
The arrangement which the Delaware
and Hudson company effected with the
Erie, when it was decided to abandon
the gravity and the canal. made the
road between this city and Wilkes
Barre superfluous, as far as coal traf-
fic is concerned, the story goes, and the
Lehigh Valley company. realizing this.
offered to take this portion of the road
off the Delaware and Hudson com.
panys hands and the offer was ac-
Cepted
That the story is very plausible there
can be no question.
The Delaware and Hudson company
has no coal breakers between here and
Wilkes Barre. What coal it mines in
Wilkes Barre and Plymouth can he
sent, and at all events most of il will
he, over the Erie and Wyoming road,
under the arrangement with the Erie,
whereby the Delaware and Hudson is
to deliver its coal to the Erie at the
most convenient connecting point.
As "a freight and passenger road sole
Is, it is a question whether the line
would pay. AS connection for the
Lehigh Valley between its main line
and the metropolis of the coal fields *
would be a mint.
That the Delaware and Hudson can
get along without it, and that the Le-
high Valley wants il badly. is sure.
Whether or not the Delaware and Hud-
son wants to get rid Of the road, ami
whether or not the Lehigh Valley is
willing to pay the Delaware and Hud-
son company's price, is the question.

Koch was surety on a note for 1925
