BY order Of the Court the Bucks
County Trust Company, DoyIestown,
Pa. trustee under the mortgage, sold
to r. ID. Brown all the property and
franchises Of the Standard Telephone
& Telegraph Company. The price
paid was $50. 900 Due to Bell compe-
tition and inadequate rates, the com
pany has not been able to meet its cur
rent operating expenses or to lay aside
a fund to offset the usual depreciation
of its plant. A striking feature con-
nected with the sale is the speed
with which a telephone plant depre-
ciates, and emphasizes two facts
First. that the public prefer and de-
mand a comprehensive telephone sys-
tenn reaching all points; and, second,
like any other business, there are any
expenses, of which depreciation is one.
which telephone promoters either do
not see or fail to explain to investors.

The British Naval Squadron.

1t was announced by Secretary OF
the Navy Bonaparte yesterday that the
British naval squadron. commanded by
Prince Louis of Battenberg, will reach
this country the latter part of October
or early in November and that it had
been decided to entertain the officers
and crew of the fleet at Newport in
stead of at New York as originally
proposed. The change was made for
the reason that the naval station at
Newport is better adapted for the pur-
pose of the official /. entertainment
than the harbor of New York. 1t is
probable, however, that the British
squadron will subsequently visit New
York. 1t is expected the British fleet
will also visit the Naval Academy.

Human Hearts is clean, wholesome

strength is told by the author in a
manner that appeals irresistihly TO all

success of Human Hearts during

many theatrical managers, that sensa-

necessary to play to assure its sue
cess with the public. Human
Hearts will be presented this season

The doctors were giving the patient large doses of oIIv. oil without any appreciable result. Il Insisted upon Red Raven, knowing that as laxative, though mild, 1t was ex- ceedingly sure.

Dangerous Gorge Passes.

Cincinnati, Feb. 2s.-After holding two million dollars worth of vessels and other river property in peril for more than two months, once more the worst gorges in the history of the Ohio River at this point finally broke up and passed off down the river this afternoon, causing comparatively small damage at the least, although more than $300,000 loss had been suffered during the past few days by the crush ing of the immense ice pack. So gradually did the ice pass out, with slight rise in the river. that the vessels moored along the river front suffered comparatively little damage although three steamers, the Bonanza. the Virginia and Rees Lee grounded and were left in a dangerous posi tion as the false water went down Nearly two hundred barges also grounded
