j At the annual meeting of the stock-
J holders of the Philadelphia & Erie
I railroad, in Philadelphia, Monday it
i was stated that the alliance with the
j Beech Creek will make it necessary to
j continue the double track a further
i distance of about thirty miles from
! Keating to Emporium. To provide
for this wort? $400,000 has been appro
; priated.
The progress that has been made
during the last year in the construction
of the forty-six miles of double track
between McElhattan and Keating is
considered satisfactory and it will be
| ready for use by the early summer.
The aggregate cost of this work to
; December 31, 1901, amounts $1,001,-
: 01196, of which (5138,870 has been
! charged against the Renewal Fund for
J the replacement of the Queen's Run

j double track steel bridge, and §500,000
Ito the Extraordinary Expenditure
| Fund set aside last year toward the
I payment for this work.

: of snndry other necessary work, in
cluding a new station at Market street,
Williamsport, extension of station aud
j office at Sunbury, interlocking plants
at Williamsport, McElhattan, St.
j Marys and Keating, and sidings at Em
porium Junction, Sinnemahoning,
■ Round Island and St. Marys, amount
ing to §469,890.94, has been charged
I against the income for the year.
The result of the operations of the
i road has been very satisfactory as the ;
i passenger business has been materially :
j benefitted by close relations existing
with the Western New York and Penn-,
sylvania railway, which now furnishes 1
a direct through connection to Buffalo
and is operated, together with the i
Allegheny Valley railroad, as the Buffa
lo & Allegheny division of the Penn
sylvania railroad.

Finding the door locked, he demands

It his answer be deemed satisfactory,

Then lie is presented to some large

is then informed that his ladylove is
absent and invited into see for him

how they managed to get in high socie

who frequently leads a cotillon. Anoth
er said: "I was too ungraceful for that,.
But I hail a serious way with me, alid
got into the sacred circle by means of
the Sunday school. I taught, a Bible
class, made acquaintance of the best
young men, met their mothers, fathers
and finally their sisters." A third: "I
got in by being a stranger In New
York. While on a limiting expedition
in the west I was able, through a hap
py circumstance, to be of assistance to
a very prominent leader of New York
society. In gratitude, I suppose, he ex
acted a promise that I Jwould visit liim

Oue day in the year Constantinople
is free from the beggar nuisance—on
Nov. This Is the festival of St.
John the Almsglver, the patron saint
of the mendicant profession. No beg
gar of the (Ireek faith is on his or her
beat that day. In the forenoon all, or
nearly all. Orthodox mendicants at
tend a special service iu the church of
St. Constantino, at which an archbish
op officiates. It is arranged by their
corporation, for they are organized into
a guild like any other trade. The
church, spacious as It is, Is none too
large for the numerous congregation
of cadgers, many of whom in their
holiday garb look like respectable citi
zens. The rest of the day Is spent in
festivities, which are apt to extend so
far into the night that many of the
revelers are unable to attend to busi
ness on the morrow.

A clergyman observed a horse jockey
trying to take in a simple gentleman
Ij3" imposing upon him a broken wind
ed horse for a sound one. The parson,
taking the gentleman aside, told -liim
to lie cautious of the person he was
dealing with. The gentleman declined
the purchase, and' the jockey, quite
nettled, observed, "Parson, I had much
rather hear you preach than to see
you privately interfere in bargains be
tween man and man in this way."
"Well," replied the parson, "if you
had been where you ought to have
been last Sunday you might have
heard me preach."
"Where was that?" inquired the
jockey.
"In the state prison," returned the
clergyman. London Standard.
