Ih! \, est Chester Local News says;
This morning, Mr.. Chase. a representa-
tive OF Macy g. Company, Of New York
visited West Chester for the purpose OF as
certaining what the prospects are for es.
tablishlng shirt factory at this place.
He had previously been to Wilmington
looking for building that could be rented
at once for the purpose, but did not fnd
anything there that suited him.
On his arrival here h, was met at the
train by John. Kelly, who had previously
been In communication with him. Mr..
Kelly took him to the Office of Burgess
Talbot and there briefly stated what he
desired. In substance he said;
1.-THE firm I represent does very large
mercantile business in New York city.
1t is the rival Of Wanamaker there. We
manufacture ahirts for our own trade. in
fact We are more of mercantile firm than
Of a manufacturing one. We want some
now fold in which we can concentrate our
shirt factory business, and would not think
of starting without from so to rs women
employed and a prospect of increasing the
number to $50 inside OF six months. II we
could rent a suitable building at this time
it is likely we would eventually build one
of our own.

remarkable. On his head ho wore black,

new yellow boots completed his costume
This was evidently his holiday attire, for
on other days his scarlet nightcap was re-
placed by blue Tam O'Shantcr and Tho

Too many farmers do not realize how
the intelligent uso Of n few hotbed sash
can be turned to profit financially and
in the better table supply of vegetables

The use Of stable manure, unless it
has been thoroughly heated and rotted,
to kill weed seed is not advisable on a
lawn. Concentrated fertilizer rich in
phosphorie-acid is to be preferred.

Divers Are bad Tempered.

One Of the peculiar effects Of diving Is

Is caused by the unusual pressure of air

lar way 1t acts cannot say. My expert
ence and that Of other divers whom have

make one furious. There Is always some

or too slack, Or there is too much air in
