ARCHBISHoPS' INCOMES.

George Russell has contributed a very
interesting article. entitled The Ideal
Archbishop" to one of the daily papers.
IN which IL was stated that Archbishop
Harcourt drew $40 900 year for forty
years from his preferment- This is a
considerable exaggeration. The average
income OF the Archbishop OF York
in those days was about 220, 900 year.
The annual amount varied greatly. being
sometimes very much more. while in
other years IL was considerably less It
is quite likely that the archbishop had
10000 a year, as he inherited the large
and valuable estate Of his kinsman, the
late Earl Harcourt, and his wife. Lady
Anne Harcourt a sister OF the hrst
Duke Of CumberIand), had a considerable
fortune OF her own. archbishop Har-
court had one very fat year. In which he
drew 100000 from the archbishOpTic.
The richest manor belonging TO the es-
tates OF the see was held for three lives.
two OF which suddenly dropped. A fine
OF eS0.O00 was paid to the archbishop
for a renewal. When a similar incident
occurred in the time OF Archbishop
Markham ne refused TO renew the lease,
preferring 10 run his own life against
the remaining life on which the manor
was held. The archbishop survived. and
I believe the estate thus garnered is still
owned by the Markham family.-London

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. Thames L.
Miles. chairman Of the city Republican
committee. yesterday predicted that
John Weaver. the Republican candidate,
would be elected mayor Of the Quaker
City today by 1885, 900 majority. The
prediction was made at the close OF a
meeting OF the committee called to hear
fina. reports from every ward in the city.
Other members of the committee held
similar opinions. but many OF them said
IL would be hard work 20 get out the
normal Republican vote. declaring
that there is absolutely no interest in
the election" The city leaders are anx-
ious that Weaver shall be elected by a
good majority. and with that end in
view the oficeholders residing in every
one Of the 1.O62 election divisions will
be busy all day TO see that every Re
publican vote possible is gotten out.
| Mayor Ashbridge also expects a good
vote for his successor in office. but
would not discuss the question OF fig
ures. City Treasurer J. Hampton
Moore gave II as his opinion that
/ Viewers majority would be in the
/ neighborhood of $4,000. Recorder OF
| Deeds Ware said between 100000 and
| 125 600
! City Commissioner Charles P. DonneI-
| ly. who is also the Democratic city
| chairman. said it was impossible to es-
innate the vote which would be given
10 Francis Fisher Kane for mayor, but
| he predicted the election Of John O'Don-
nell. Democratic candidate for magis-
trate. by $1,000 majority over David 7
Hart. nominee OF the Municipal League
He believed that about 10000 Republican
votes will be cast for O'Donnell. on ar
average OF twenty from each division il
the city.
After the election Mayor Ashbridge
Insurance Commissioner Durham. and Z
number OF the leaders will leave the city
for short trips South. The mayor. &C
companied by Mrs. Ashbridge. will leav,

The Commissioners send a map showing

The Commissioners desire those pro-
visions of the charter Of the East Wash

right Of way where the county roads are
less tain sixty-six feet wide. TO be re-
tanned in the proposed bill This pro-
vision was that he company should ac-
quire right Of way entirely outside OF the
street in such cases.
The Commissioners call special atten-
tion 10 the transfer privileges provided
fer in the bill. While they are in favor
I OF free transfers and also in favor OF ex-
tending tie privilege as widely as posi-
