HAS NOT BOUGHT CENTRAL
p. r. r. Oaacials Deny Rumors About
Their Purchase of the Jersey Road

A rumor having been circulated that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company had
purchased the Jersey Central a dispatch
was sent OF this city today in which the
Pennsylvania officials denied the report.
The report that the Baltimore & Ohio
would lease the Central is considered in1-
probable by railroad men, as the BaIti-
more & Ohio is a soft coal line, while the
Central is a distinctively anthracite road.
Attention is directed to the fact that the
line has been closely drawn by he Penn
sylvania Railroad and the Vantfes ...ls.
whereby the soft coal roads, such as the
Baltimore & Ohio, the Norfolk & Western
and the Chesapeake & Ohio, were to con-
stitute group over which the Penn
sylvania Railroad, which is itself the
greatest carrier of soft coal In the world.
should exercise d motherly care.
BY the same agreement the Vanderbi1ts.
already strongly intrenched among the
al thracite carriers, were to bring the
hard coal Into closer harmony.

There Is a very ancient story. says the

meeting a young lady and asking after
her fathers health.
How is your father?" he asked, forget
ting that her father had been dead several
years.
Still dead" was the reply. This story,
whether Il ever happened or not, has a
counterpart in an incident that actually
transpired a short time ago. A gentleman
was talking to a friend that he had not
seen in a number of years.
rs your father alive YETI" he asked.
Not yet" she said, absent mindedly
1t remains for a Detroit woman, how

in her own experience. Meeting Mrs.

latter said:

Mr.. Jones is dead?'

"Oh, nothing of any Importance" he

Now, If he had simply thrown it care

thought nothing of IL; but the care he
took 20 put it clear over in the far corner,
and the fact that he seemed Ill at ease
after he found that his action had been
observed, aroused her curiosity. She
wondered what il was, and she reasoned
with herself that he had said it was
nothing of importance" so he would
have nobody but himself to blame If she
took a look at it. She was justified in
inferring from his words that there was
no reason why she should not And this

A somewhat crusty old chap of our ac-
quaintance had boarded for some time
with a widow whose garrulous and de-
signing nature had excited his contempt,
says the Boston Courier. Learning one
day through a breakfast table hint that
her birthday was at hand, he determined
that he would like to send her something
that would in a measure reflect his opin-
ion of her. Speaking to friend about
ii, the latter suggested widow Bedotte,"
as the very prototype of his lady ac-
quaintance and advised his getting a
copy of the book for her He gleefully
accepted the idea, and visiting a neigh
boring cky entered book store to secure
the coveted volume. Approaching a
counter where clerk awaited him he at
once started in with
Have you-have you" and then
came to a dead stop.
The experienced clerk appreciated the
fact that he had forgotten the name OF
his intended purchase, and said nothing.
An embarrassing silence of some mo-
ments followed, when a smile of relief
irradiated the visitors face, and uncon-
sciously prompted perhaps by his preju-
dice, he confidently exclaimed:
Have you copy of a book entitled
1.-The Widow Bedam" "
