Tho Central Itallrond company has con verted Beveral cars Into blcyelo vans. Ueglnnlng Monday last the Lackawan na put on a through tialn to Chicago. Tho time Is twenty-six hours. Tho Delaware, Lackawanna and 'West ern railroad Intend to make their road be tween Morrlstown and Doer a double track. The Delaware, Lickawanna and West ern shops In Hallstead havo been placed on seven hours' tltr.o Instead of eight hours, as heretofore. A cheap excursion rate to New York on April 27, in order to seo tho parade, will bo given by tho New York, Susquehanna and Western railroad. Tho 400 men who were laid off at tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western car shops at Dover some ttmo ago have been taken tack and are wet king eight hour3 a day and six das a. week. Tho Delaware, Lackawanna nnd West ern recently lost tho shipment of a 3,000 pound hippopotamus, because It hadn't a car door large enough to accommodate tho beast. Tho United States Express com pany had contracted to take It to Chicago for J2C0, and It was finally sent over tho lhiltlmore and Ohio road, after crossing tho river thieo times. The new rallrcad mileage actually built In the United States In lfW was 1.S02 mlU-3, the record In 1S03 being almost exactly tho same 1,803 miles. These nro tho smallest figures slnco ns far back ns 16,73, when tho country was Just recovering from a groat panic, and when the new railroads built measured only 1,711 miles. Tho laying off of so many carpenters, car workers and helpers tho past two or threo menths and accountants recently, of tho Delaware, Lackawanna and West cm company, has been a great surprise, but lightning continues to stiiko and ten out of sixteen carpenters In a repair gang were laid off, ten machtnlstH and ouo boiler-maker. It Is presumed tho gicat loss and expected cxpeno at tho Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western mines In tho Wyoming valley recently, has had something to do with tho retrenchment now going on.

Ic's simply this: We arc doing business on a wholesale scale, buying in en .rmous qu mtitie for sp )t cash, not always in a regular way, but iVom concerns in need of ready money. Then we arc satislieil with a small profit. Uesides our business is growing larger everyday, for tlio reison that we keep faith with the pe ple. Goods always go at the prices advertised. It is such unapproachable prices as the following that hive made us famous, and this week's great values will further tend to spread our fame. spring ANTIQUITY OP TO.VS.
