Does and fawns are absolutely protected. This became nec- essary by reason of the fact that the num- ber of hunters is so great that the deer in season are practically driven from cover to cover as if they were pursued by dogs. The penalty for violation of the law is 8lO or a day in jail for each dollar. It will be safe to have the head on the carcass to prove that the deer had horns. The open season for squirrels in Pennsyl- vania is from the first day of October to the first da_v of December. But six squirrels can be killed in one day. Besides the incidental tabooing of heavy duck guns and other weapons that cannot be fired from the shoulder the legislature passed an act specifically prohibiting the use of automatic shotguns. THE WHITE OR SNOWY HERON. The history of the White Heron is pa- thetic in the extreme, as it is a tale of per- secution and rapid extermination. When THK UmrK OK SNOWY HEUON. it was decreed by fashion that the plumes of these birds should be worn as millinery ornaments, it meant the extermination of this beautiful bird in Florida and other parts of America, accompanied with the most atrocious butchering. This is the bird from which the beautiful aigrette" is torn, and it is safe to say that any wom.in reading the history of the aigrette," as graphically pictured in the pamphlets issued by the Audubon Societies, would have hesitancy in including that particular artii le in her own plumage. The sale of aigrettes" from Americm birds is prohibited, but it is claimed there are no laws that prevent the sale of im- ported goods. The wearing of these plumes from tlie White Heron, whether native or foreign, has now become a question of ethics which every woman must decide for herself. It makes no difference where the plume comes from, the fact remains that this thing of beauty is actually a badge of cruelty. IN THE HEART OF HAMPSHIRE. A Sketch of a Portion of tfie Wild Alleghany Mountains in West Virginia. HV 1:1. mr mHR heart of Hampshire offers to one who wishes "far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife,"" to pursue "the even tenor of his way," in vacation, the full meed of attractions. Here are beautiful mt)untains, lovely glens, splendid prospects, picturesque walks, sing- ing streams and winding rivers to delight the eye and feast the mind, while ample boards give strength to the physical forces to endure the mountain"s ascent, the gallop on horseback, and the long trip to the camp or through the countrj'. Hampshire lies on the border line be- tween Maryland and Virginia, just opposite Alleghany County, from which it is divided by the I'otomac. Two ranges of mountains — the Alleghanies on the north and the North Mountains on the south — traverse the county from east to west, while a great array of interlacing spurs run in orderly legions throughout a large part of the inter- vening area. The lovely valleys that lie between these grand ranges are rich in verdure, while the mountains are tlie feed- ing grounds of fleecy flocks and magnificent herds. Romney, an agreeable town of about a thousand inhabitants, is the capital of Hampshire, and is beautifully located on the South Branch of the I'otomac, surrounded MOUNT.UNEER GUIDES OF WEST VIRGINIA by picturescjue mountain ranges and broad productive valleys. One of the interesting points in Romney is its ancient cemeterj' — once the burying place of the Indians. This cemetery has resounded with the note of battle. During the early part of the Civil War, a Confederate battery was mounted in this sacred place, for it com- manded a broad sweep of the South Branch Valley. The L'nion forces advanced upon the battery from three points. As the division that came up the South Branch \'alley, coming from the west, arrived at a point three miles from Romney, the battery commenced firing, opening the ranks of the assailants at each volley, but they came on and the Confederates retreated, losing their guns. One of the balls from tlie battery went through a farm- house three miles from town, and, though the house was occupied, no one was injured. The sounds of war have subsided, and now the note is peaches," clearing up the mountains for orchards" and prospect- ing for coal, silver and gold," for there are indications in these mountains that all three of these minerals exist in them. What they have has not yet been revealed to the eye of man; but he does behold, when he visits this section, a most inviting and interesting array of mountain peaks and ranges. They are not lofty as the Sierras, nor as bare as the Rockies, yet they present their own features of beauty and uniqueness. Their particular phase, near the northwestern boundary of Hamp- shire is the great number of parallel ranges that, with intervening valleys, traverse the county from east to west, and extend over an area, from north to south, of twenty miles. He who attempts to make this crossing finds that he has one continuous series of up-hills and down-dales; but therein lies the zest and interest of dis- covery of the new and the prospective of the beautiful. His lines are cast in pleasant places, who, freed from business, may pursue a month of pleasure with a good conscience as a matter of absolute necessity for the recovery of wasted energies. In the fore- IN THE HEART Of HAMPSHIRE. TOPMOST HOUSE ON HIGH KNOB. noon a walk through a defile in the tower- ing mountains : in the afternoon a ride a-horseback on the eternal hills ; to-day a drive to camp, to-morrow a stroll through the woods ; and every day some new adven- ture in discovery or some virgin prospect of delight to the eye, as the ever-changing vista recorded some new landscape as the point of observation was changed. There are peaks, towering, lofty and sublime, too far for the ordinary walk. Of all the inviting summits to climb, Fair^'iew and High Knob are the most promising. Southward from Fair View lay eleven ranges of mountains, rising so close to each other that no level lands can be seen be- tween them. They appear like the waves of the sea one after another, until the last blue range, a score of miles away, reaches the encompassing horizon. It is a rare bit in mountain scenery. High Knob, however, is the object of the tourist's desire above all others. Rising like a pyramid, in the Mill Creek Valley, it overtops all other mountains of that sec- tion, and, at a height of 2,000 feet surveys, like a monarch, all below it. From a dis- tance it has all the elemental parts of a magnificent observatory — rising above its fellows in a dome that comes to a peak from all sides. With many suggestions as to the manner of reaching this coveted point, it is a matter of footing it, and our party of seven performed the journey of six miles up hill there, and six miles down hill back. We were already on Taylor's Mountain, and the first stretch, after that, was a mile up- hill. Most of the party was handicapped with impedimenta, from cake to kodak, but generously divided into small parcels, except on the part of our host who, carry- ing the bulk of that anticipated collation on the mountains, declared that his bag- gage was nothing. " The middle portion of the walk brought the party to the cleared mountain top. From Bare Field," at the end of the first stretch, a noble array of mountains pre- sented themselves ; but when Hartman's Field"' was reached, which lay like lines of latitude at the foot of High Knob, one could see mountains after mountains in long arrays reaching from east to west and rolling like billows from north to south. Along the southern horizon stretched the South Branch Mountains — clothed in un- broken forest and with not a cleared spot for a score of miles — the home of the turkey, the deer and the bear. Above us rose High Knob, inspiring and sublime. One more stretch and we were at the last house and the last source of water — a spring a third of a mile from the summit. We had secured the services of the mountaineer who lives on High Knob, to use his axe to cut away the brush for a fair view from the summit, with the agreement that if any rattler,'" of which all reports agreed were legion in the mountain, showed himself, the man with the kodak should have a snap shot at him and then slay him as a trophy. Though the walk was steep and rocky, and the path thick and wooded AN ANT HILL. IN THE HEART OF HAMPSHIRE. no rattlesnake was found. The view from High Knob is disappointing; but solely on account of the woods and underbrush that cover its top. This has one exception — the vista to the south. Here the scenery is beautiful and only limited by the South Branch mountains in the far distance. It is assumed that the landscape would only be bound by the power of the eye to see were this tall summit cleared of obstructing trees. On the knob of the mountain we met a party of three who had also come up to view the landscape o'er. Besides the pleasant sensations of con- genial companionship on the walk to the mountains, we had encountered those most interesting creatures, the ants and their dwelling places. Their mounds, built of sand and small pieces of rock, line a por- tion of the pathway to High Knob. They vary in quantity from a half bushel to a wagon load — in size they range from a foot in diameter and a foot in height to nine feet in length and six feet in diame- ter and two feet, or more, in their dome- shaped rise. The ants dwell in colonies in these mounds and, separated by apart- ments, all the lateral corridors join at one central passage. There are numerous other openings and here the ants live and lay their eggs and rear their young. Then, in order to learn more of the habits of the mound-dwellers, we had taken off the tops of several and large numbers of long white eggs were discovered. The moment the eggs were uncovered the news must have been carried abroad through the colony, for the ants, in great haste and with much excitement, came to the top of the mound and, each seizing an egg, soon had all of them out of sight and under cover to save them from the death-dealing rays of the sun. Digging deeper, the newly hatched ants were found. White and thin they were and still in a semi-embryotic state, but with no small show of activity "OUK PARTY." as the light and air fell on them. These mound-builders have, undoubtedly, in the long ages of creation, done much to make the rocky beds of the mountains tillable by gathering together a deep and fruitful soil. These naountain rambles not only dis- cover the beautiful and scientific in these grand hills and fertile valleys, but they disclose in their measure, the life of the people. In a trip on horseback to Fair View the public road had carried me away from the mountain. I had turned groping into the fields, and, with the mountain height before me, found at last the path shut off and the fences closed in upon me. Uncertain of the way, I was surprised to find at this moment that another was present — a little girl of twelve met me on the mountain side. To my surprise she added her trepidation at seeing a stranger here. She showed me the right path and explained that she had been on a visit to her uncle's and was crossing the mountain to her home !

WHERE GAME ABOUNDS IN MARYLAND AND WEST VIRGINIA. mo the sportsman not acquainted with the nreographical location of the counties in Maryland and West \ ir- ginia, the following suggestions may be found to his convenience. Commencing in the extreme northeastern corner of Maryland and following the line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad westward across both states, many kinds of game and fish can be found. The Sus(|uehanna River is famous for its shad fisheries and the Susquehanna Flats for duck shooting. The river forms the boundary between Cecil and Harford Counties, Maryland ; emptying into the Chesapeake Bay at Havre de Grace, which is the most convenient town for sportsmen's headquarters for this section. In both counties special game laws prevail, made necessary for the protection of game on account of the superabundance thereof, and the possible greed of irresponsible hunters from the crowded eastern cities to bag more than a reasonable share. Between Harford and Baltimore Counties are the marshes of the Gunpowder River, convenient hiding places for snipe, rail and reed bird and duck. The Gunpowder and its tributaries also abound in gudgeon" which are popular among small sportsmen in the early spring. Baltimore County, as well as Cecil and Harford, borders on the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay. Anne Arundel County lies south of Bal- timore City, with its entire eastern border along the Patapsco River and Chesapeake Bay. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad from Baltimore to Washington crosses Howard and Prince George Counties, through a territory of no principal im(iortance for any kind of game. West of Washington the line crosses Montgomery County and strikes the Potomac River at its confluence with the Monocacy River. From this point the Monocacy Valley extends northward through Frederick County, east of the Catoctin Mountains, the most beautiful agri- cultural section of Maryland. The surround- ing country abounds in small game, such as s: C' ^ ^- Y _. ■/; o o < u|: .y r. '■ y r. ': y. |V j; >y y j .u.

I HAD heard of an old mountaineer in Virginia who was a great wild turkey hunter, and knowing that the man from whom I obtained my information was reliable, I set out last Autumn to visit those Virginia mountains and have a genuine wild-turkey hunt. When I started on my journey, I must confess that I had grave doubts of even getting a glimpse of a turkey, but now I have learned that this grand old bird, which seems to be gradually yielding to the en- croachments of civilization, is still plentiful enough in those mountains to afford good shooting for the patient and energetic sportsman who does not weary of climbing over mountain ranges all day and whose phj'sical condition and love of nature will permit him to sit still for an hour or two at a time in the woods waiting for a flock of turkeys to cross a favorite trail, while the cold November winds are blowing a gale across the mountain tops. It was the eighth of November when I left the city and after nearly a day's ride on the train reached the station from where I was to make my start. Here I was met by the mountaineer with a large covered wagon and two stout horses used to rough travel, and we started on our long journey over the mountains to his home. As I looked upon this wild and rugged country, far removed from the maiks of civilization, my doubts about seeing turkeys slowly vanished, for the heavy timber and thickly wooded ravines, overgrown with wild grape vines, appeared to be an ideal hiding place for them. Therefore, by the time we had eaten supper in front of a big, blazing, open fire, and I had heard some of my friend's turkey-hunting adventures, I was fully convinced that there must be game in the vicinity. After arranging for an early start in the morning, I turned in"' with high hopes and great anticipation of the sport on the morrow. My first day out was extremely cold and windy, and every now and then the clouds would pile up in the northwest and send down flurries of snow that made the hard, frozen ground even more difficult to walk on ; and I tell you when your shoes become slippery from walking on the leaves in the woods, and then you strike bare places that have to be climbed on the mountain side, it is as tiresome as walking on ice. The wind blew so hard on this particular morning that you could scarcely hear any other sound but that made by the rustling of the dead leaves which still clung to the young oak trees, and it was necessary for us (the old mountaineer with whom I was stopping was with me) to keep within a few yards of each other in order that we might not become separated, and perhaps lost. At one time I was within five feet of a gray squirrel that was busily engaged in scratching at an old stump, and stood watching him for several minutes before his natural instinct caused him to raise his head and look about him for danger. When he saw me he scampered away. While this was a new experience for me, my mountain friend was an old turkey hunter, and his quick sense of hearing, keen sight and stealthy gliding tread, caused him to remind me more of the hero of Cooper's Leather Stocking stories than anyone with whom I had ever hunted. Then, too, he scorned the modern breech- loader, and in its stead he carried a long, single-barreled, muzzle- loading fowling small narrow stock inlaid a little brass box set in it of percussion caps. But piece, having a with brass, with for the supply armed as he was, he could go out on his 18 "TURKEYS." mountains and kill as much game and get as much real enjoyment from his hunt as we can with our modern hammerless weapons. The way we chose to hunt on this occasion was that of traveling along the crest of a range, which is about ten or twelve yards wide on top, one of us walking so as to command a view down one slope, the other keeping close to the opposite edge, so as to see down the other slope. Thus we walked along, ever on the alert for something moving on the mountain side below us. Ordinarily a windy day is not a good one on which to find turkej's unless you know where to look for them. In calm weather you can usually hear them scratching long before you would catch a glimpse of them through the thick foliage, and locating them in this way often saves many a mile of walking. There is a great deal of moun- tain laurel and small, stunted pines and hemlocks mixed in with the other under- growth, but usually the turkeys prefer the open woods, except when they are hiding. They feed there on chestnuts, certain kinds of acorns and wild grapes ; but they are very fond of buckwheat, and make frequent visits to the isolated buckwheat and corn fields that are in the mountain clearings. The old maxim of the ill wind'' is true in turkey hunting, for if you see the turkey before he sees or hears you, he's as good as yours, as the mountaineer puts it; but let him see or hear you first, and all day he is on the alert, and is off at the slightest sound or movement. We had gone along the ridge for prob- ably a mile, and had only seen some old scratchings" — small, bare places, where the turkeys had scratched the leaves away in search of food. But even this was encouraging, especially to me, as I had never been as close as this to the haunts of the wild turkey before. I was enjoying the sensation thoroughly. The country was entirely new to me, and it isn't simply the killing of the game that the sportsman enjoys, as most of us know who have walked alone in the woods or fields. Just a short time before I had observed a large fox squirrel, the first one 1 had ever seen alive, go scrambling ahead of me o\ er a rocky ledge, and, as I sto))ped to listen at the edge of a ravine, I was startled by a strange bird-note sounding something like a flicker or golden woodpecker, but much louder, and in a few minutes a large pileated woodpecker or log cock, as he is called in the mountains, one of the giants of our woodpecker family, alighted on a dead pine stub close by and gave me my first view of this bird, rare outside of the taxidermist's shop. Stopping long enough to observe these things had left me far behind my com- panion, but I hurried forward and caught him just at the edge of the woods over- looking a little clearing in which there was a small Hock of sheep that had not yet been driven down the mountain to winter quarters. This clearing was really a deserted sugar camp, and on the far side still stood an old log hut surrounded by numerous large sugar maple trees, among which ran a small stream coming from an old spring, from which the sugar gatherers had taken their water supply. We moved cautiousl.v out to the edge cf the woods, for we thought this was a very likely place for game, and while I was still looking at the scene before me and wondering how long ago the camp had been occupied, I saw my companion drop to the ground so suddenly that I knew something was up Without asking any ([uestions I followed his example. Turkeys," he whispered, and sure enough, after taking off my hat and raising my head high enough to see into the woods just beyond the maple grove, I could see about a dozen big turkeys scattered around scratching in the leaves. They hadn't seen us. We lay there for fully five min- utes. We hardly knew how to get out of our position, as the turkeys were feeding up a little slope and could easily see us, even if we raised ourselves high enough to crawl back into the woods. Whether the wind was too strong for them on the slope, or they wanted something better for din- ner than acorns, I do not know, but at any rate something made them turn about after going up the mountain a short distance and come back into the ravine. This was our opportunity to get under cover, so with heads ducked we glided aintinK the tlai; pole on the new Bnltiinore & Ohio R. R. biiiMiny. Biiltimore.

It is more often pity, than fear or respect, that enables us to preserve silence when in the presence of expressed ignorance.

C The Baltimore & Ohio the first to enter, on October 27, J 907. mHE opening of the New Union Sta- tion at Washington on Sunday morning, October 27, was a matter of national interest. The great white granite structure, whose classic col- umns and arches accord with the dignity of a great nation, becomes the vestibule through whose portals all must pass who enter the capital city. Tiie high and low, the rich and poor, the President or the citizen, ambassador or diplomat, senator or congressman, friend or foe, alike will tread its marble floors. And who can read the horoscope of the future to foretell the comedies or tragedies that may be recorded in the annals of its history.' From a viewpoint of sentiment, it is fitting that the Baltimore & Ohio — the nation's first railway, and the first to enter Washington, should be the first to open the doors of the new terminal; and, by a coincidence, the first train out of the new terminal was headed to Baltimore from whence the first train to Washington came seventy-two years ago. The passing of the old "B. & O" station at New Jersey Avenue and C Street at the same time, also marks an incident in the history of Washington. The kaleidoscope of time could reveal many scenes of anxious war times, when the incessant tramp, tramp, tramp of feet and rattle of musketry echoed through its walls day and night through four long j-ears of strife. "/>(' to;' (".s7 morl ! Five Ic roi!'''' Although the great granite building with its huge concourse and track system are completed, there is much to be done in finishing the interior. The approaches in both directions have been comi)leted and the tunnels are ready for use. The mammoth roof of olive green in rectangles of composition terra cotta harmonizes well with the granite of the exterior and gives a most pleasing architectural effect. Some idea of the immensity of the station may be obtained from the fact that it is less in size than the Capitol building in one dimen- sion only — that of height. In length and breadth it exceeds the Capitol. From east to west the sta ion proper is 760 feet as against the Capitol's length of 74-G feet, 6^2 inches. The breadth of the station from north to south is S-t.'? feet 9 inches, against the Capitol's 270 feet 10 inches. The great plaza facing the station when finished will be O^O feet wide with .54() feet from the main entrance to the farthest edge to the plaza circle in Delaware Avenue. From the entrance to the plaza and the nearest end of the train shed is 833 feet, and the train platform extends 1,200 feet beyond this. From the entrance to the 2 THE OPENING OF THE NEW UNION STATION, WASHINGTON, D. C. plaza to the farthest end of the train shed therefore is 2,03;! feet, or nearly half a mile. Some idea of the size of the concourse may be obtained from the fiict that the entire army of the United States can be congregated therein ; it is in fact the lar- gest room under a single roof in the world, containing 07,500 square feet of floor space. Leading directly from it are the thirty-three passenger tracks which may be used in case of congestion, such as inauguration crowds. MAIN FLOOR AND TRACK PLAN NEW UNION STATION, WASHINGTON to accommodate a total of sixty-six trains. The general waiting room is 23G feet long by 128 feet wide, and when finished will be the finest and most commodious in the country. The center of its roof is 120 feet from the floor and is beautifully decorated with sunken panels or coffers. The light is supplied through a circular window at each end 75 feet in diameter. The main dining room, 80 by 100 feet, will be beautiful with its marble columns and mural decorations, and can ac- commodate 1 ,000 people at one time. Attached to it is a com- modious lunch room. The ticket lobby, not yet com- pleted, is 105 feet long by 51 feet wide, with ticket offices on one side and the baggage room on the other. The portion of the station now in actual use is that which will eventually be devoted to the re- ception room of the President and distinguished visitors to Washington ; the entrance to which will be through what will be known as the State Entrance, reserved exclusively for the President and those prominent in national affairs, and represen- tatives of foreign governments. Although the station is not completed and it will be several months before it can be enjoyed as an entirety, the railways entering Washington will be compelled to use it, to make way for other contemplated improve- ments. The Baltimore is: Ohio was compelled to abandon its station at New Jersey Avenue and C Street at once to make way for the great plaza. In like manner must the other Wash- ington station on Sixth Street, south of Pennsylvania Avenue, be abandoned, and it is officially announced that the Pennsyl- vania Railroad, Southern Rail- way, Chesapeake & Ohio, Atlan- tic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line and Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad will aban- don this station and enter the New Union Station on November I 7th, bringingall of the rail waj-s which enter Washington to- gether under one roof. THE PASSING OF THE OLD BALTIMORE & OHIO PASSENGER STATION AT WASHINGTON. I-IIOM THE WASHINGTON APROPOS of the completion of the new Union Station, it is recalled tliat less than three-fourths of a century ago, at a simple platform near the site of the census office, the Krst railroad company to operate in this Dis- trict, the Baltimore & Ohio, had for a few months its terminal. And there are a few persons now residing in this city who re- member the entry of the iron-horse-drawn carloads of passengers between 12 and 1 o'clock August 25, 1S.S.5. That the expectations of the railroad people and the general public in the prog- ress of railroading have long since been surpassed is evident in the multiplicity of trains, in tiie erection of depots now in use, and in the remarks made on the occa- sion of the opening of the Baltimore & Ohio road, when the mayor of Washington, Col. W. A. Bradley, and the councils and others welcomed P. E. Thomas, president, the directors and others. He congratulated them on having com- THE OLD BAI.TI.MOUE A OHIO STATION AT WASHINGTON. With all the railroads entering the Dis- trict at the new station, it would seem that perfection has been reached in the way of facilities and accommodation for tiie public. But with the underground tracks running to the Capitol building, a President-elect as well as the legislators may be landed there direct from their homes, and enter upon their duties before coming in contact with the Washington public. It will be possible, therefore, in the inauguration of a President, for him to start from his home and go direct to the Capitol. pleted a link in the chain which he hoped to see extended from Portland to New Orleans, binding on the seaboard the remote parts of the Union. 'A few years ago," the speaker added, the weary traveler leaving Washington at the rising of the sun was still toiling at sunset. Now a man of business in Wash- ington may visit Baltimore, purchase his goods, return before evening, unpack his goods and expose them ready for sale in the morning.'' The mayor expressed the hope that soon New Orleans would be THE PASSING OF THE OLD B. & 0. STATION AT WASHINGTON. brought as near Washington as was Boston. President Thomas in his reply concurred with the mayor as to the advantages. It is in Maryland," he said, "that the Atlantic, rolling far up the magnificent estuary of the Chesapeake, seeks to bring its waters into closer proximity to streams that flow into the Gulf of Mexico. * * * We trust the day is not far distant when the traveler who sees the luminary rising from the bosom of the Atlantic may the same day witness its descent in the hori- zon that circumscribes the waters of the Mississippi." The city then had not 30,000 population, nor the District, including Alexandria, more than 40,000, and had not lost much of its appearance of a number of scattered vil- lages. Travelers, through, to and from had before depended on stages, etc., by land, and a few steamers and packets by water. Conse5 by the railroad company and had been partially used as the location of the engine house. On the banks of the Tiber a safe founda- tion for a building of the size and for heavy trains was questionable and many piles were driven. After the removal of the freight building on the site of the census office the ground went into possession of M. G. Emery and for many years was used by him in the stone-cutting business. The old depot building, now 20,'! Pennsylvania avenue, be- came .1 saloon, and the sheds, now covered by 201 and 205, were converted into a place of amusement, at which Matt O'Brien and Ham Duvall, the first a fine sentimental vocalist and the latter noted as a delineator in negro character, afterward appeared. In 1861 the Mechanical Rifles, Capt. A. Rutherford, were organized and drilled in the sheds, going into the United States service in April. One of the first instances of a crowd here was when Gen. Pierce arrived a few days before his inauguration, in March, 185.S, seeing the President come in" being an epoch in the life of a Washington boy of THE PASSING OF THE OLD B. & 0. STATION AT WASHINGTON. that period, and frequently the boys out- numbered the grown people. During the war, when troops were arriving and depart- ing by thousands, and ofttimes 'mid the panoply of war, were scenes of suffering and distress witnessed in the arrival of trainloads of wounded soldiers. There were near the tracks two large frame buildings, one of which had been used by Mr. James P. Crutchett as the Mount Venion cane factory, and the other erected by the quar- termaster's department. There also was a depot of the sanitary commission, and through the many thoiis.mds of soldiers who obtained shelter and warm meals the Soldiers" Rest and Soldiers' Retreat in Washington were known throughout the land. The exigencies of the war after the army had entered N'irginia led to the ex- tension of the railroad across the Long bridge, and in 1862 there were not only railroad tracks into the city in Maryland avenue between Cth and 10th streets southwest, but along Maryland avenue, 1st and C streets to the Baltimore & Ohio depot. At Maryland avenue and 9th street was the local depot, used by the govern- ment and the Alexandria railroad — a frame building which was with that road after- ward acquired by the Baltimore & Potomac railroad, included in the Pennsylvania system. In war times it was not an infre- (|uent occurrence for troop trains coming through Baltimore by the Northern Central and the Philadelphia, Wilmington iV Bal- timore railroads to be landed on Virginia soil. There were, however, occasions when the Maryland avenue depot was the scene of much activity in its early history, as when troops were embarked or landed, and when loads of sick and wounded soldiers were brought in from the battlefields and sent to the many hospitals. Not infre- quently at inaugurations or other gala times the capacity of the roads was taxed. On October 27 the Baltimore & Ohio abandoned the historic old station and was the first to enter the great railroad palace which is soon to house all the railroads entering the District. The old station will be torn down at once and the grading and filling commenced which will form the grass plaza in front of the Union Station. HISTORIC BUILDINGS OF WASHINGTON. BY F. J. YOUNG. OL'RS is a new country; while the western section shows the ruins of dwellings of a few Aboriginal tribes ' now extinct which possess great interest for the archaeologist, and the tower of the colonists' church at Jamestown marks the beginning of Anglo-Saxon domination, our twentieth century interests are in modern structures, and the 20-story sky- scraper is typical of present conditions. Our English Cousins can boast of the Druidical circle of stones at Stonehenge, and the Germans point to the ruined castles once the abodes of the freebooters who infested their land, and romantic stories can be woven about these crumbling walls. But these ruins typify a religion which is hid in the myths of the past, and the decay of the system which brought them forth. No longer does the Druid priest offer up a living sacrifice to his God, or the steel-clad Baron sally forth at the head of his band of vassals on errands of rapine and murder, to return laden with the spoils of peaceful travelers who have been left dead by the wayside, or brought to the castle to be tortured to extract ransom. In our country we point out the places, no matter how humble, which call to niem- SIIRRATT HOUSE ory the men who have shaped the destiny of our nation, and whose course is not marked by a trace of blood and ashes, but by an ever broadening pathway of civilization. Our capital city is rich in historical places of this nature, many of which are so modest in appearance as to attract no note what- ever of the passerby. For over a cen- tury it has been the residence of the President, the meeting place of Congress and the home of the Supreme Court, and there may be found places inseparably con- nected with the men the Nation has delighted to honor. The two first build- ings thought of are the Capitol and the White House. The great white building on the hill overlooking and dominating the city needs no description. Partially destroyed by the British invader in 1814 when in an incomplete and unfinished con- dition, it is now one of the most imposing buildings in existence. Almost equally well known is the White House, the resi- dence of every President from Adams to Roosevelt, and one which many of our public men hope to occupy for a time. Like the Capitol, this building was fired by the British in 1814, but while defaced, was not destroyed, and being painted white to cover traces of smoke, gradually came to be called the White House, although the name officially was the Executive Mansion until Presi- dent Roosevelt ordered it changed. Near by is the Arlington Hotel, which for years has been the tem- porary home of thousands of our leadingstatesmen,and under whose roof visiting foreigners of rank have been entertained. From the staff has floated the flag of nearly every civilized nation. The yellow dragon banner of China, the tri-color of France, the Turkish star and cres- cent, the rising sun of Japan, the white elephant of Siam, and the L'nion Jack of Great Britain have all at times denoted the presence of distinguished officers or scions of the royal families of those nations. Another famous inn is the National Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, below Oth Street. P'or HISTORIC BUILDINGS OF WASHINGTON. DECATUR HOUSE. years it was the home of the leaders in Congress and under its roof much legisla- tion has been planned. Here Henry Clay died in 18.12. In the early ,tO"s it was the scene of an epidemic affecting many of its guests and causing the death of several. It was at first supposed to be a case of wholesale poisoning, but investigation showed that the trouble was caused by a stoppage in a sewer pipe by means of which the gas from the sewer was forced into the rooms. Not far from the National Hotel is the building (still a hotel) in which President Andrew Jackson, at a dinner to which he was invited at a time when a number of politicians, headed by Calhoun, the \ ice Presi- dent, were considering measures to override some obnoxious legisla- tion, made plain his position on the question of the nullification of Federal by State laws. A carefully prepared toast was framed to elicit his views. He responded by a toast which none dared refuse : The Federal Union IT MUST AND SHALL BE PRESERVED." Soon after this episode he stated his intention to hang as high as Haman anyone implicated in put- ting State laws above Federal stat- utes, and the matter was dropped, as none of the gentlemen who had talked so loudly cared to be martyrs to the States Rights cause. Less than a block from the White House, on the site now occupied by a theater, stood the house in which Secretary of State Seward was attacked and wounded when President Lincoln was murdered. Payne, the would-be assassin, after wounding Seward and grap- pling with and stabbing the soldier on guard, managed to reach the door, and mounting his horse became bewildered in trying to find an outlet from the city and was captured and hanged later. This house was for years the resi- dence of James G. Blaine. The Surratt house, where Booth and his band of conspirators met and planned the murder of the President, stands on H Street, near 6th. The Vice President, Secretary of State, and General Grant were included in the plot, but Grant left the city, Johnson was not in his room when the man told off to kill him knocked, and the fellow's nerve failed, and he left the hotel without making another attempt. The vigilance of Seward's guard prevented his nmrder, although in the stroke at his throat the knife cut open his cheek. The house on the southwest corner of H Street, west of La Fayette Square, was built by Stephen Decatur, the hot blooded Commodore who was carried into its doors to die from the effects of the bullet received TIIK (^OKrORAN HOUSE. 10 HISTORIC BUILDINGS OF WASHINGTON. in a duel witli Barron in 1820; Henry Clay later occupied this house, as did Martin \'an Buren, Secretary of State, afterwards Min- ister to England and President, as well as a number of other promi- nent public men at different times. Later it became the property of General Beale, and was the center of much social life : General Grant was frequently entertained here after his Presidential term expired. On the corner of Connecticut Avenue and H Street is the Cor- coran House, originally built for and presented to Daniel Webster by some of his admirers. For years it was the residence of Mr. Corcoran, the banker and philan- thropist. During the civil war Mr. Corcoran was well known as a sympathizer with the South, and at one time arranged to close his house and go to Europe to remain until peace had returned. Secretary Stanton ordered the property to be taken and used as a hospital, but Mr. Corcoran hearing of it asked the French Minister to occupy it at once, and in a few hours the tricolor Hoating from the window proclaimed that it was for the time French territory, and Stanton was compelled to rescind his order. Secretary Stanton was not troubled with scruples about seizing the property of those not in sympathy with the Union cause. It is said that once a com- *-*:^ THK KEY MANSION. OCTAGON HOUSE. plaint was carried to President Lincoln that some of the acts of the imperious Secretary were illegal. He replied : Yes, that is so ; Stanton does things I would not dare to do, but some one has to, and he is willing." Senator Brice occupied this house during his term in the Senate, and was one of the most lavish of hosts. Senator Depew was the last occupant. At New York Avenue and 18th Street is the famed Octagon House, now the prop- erty of an association of artists. This was the residence of Ogle Tayloe, who was reputed to be the wealthiest man in the country. Owning thousands of acres of land and hundreds of slaves, by some his wealth was esti- mated at a million dollars, but few believed it possible for one man to have such an immense sum. After the burning of the Executive Man- sion by the British in 1814, Presi- dent Madison was for a time the guest of Mr. Tayloe, and it was here that the treaty of peace with England was signed in 1 8 1 ,5. Some of the old slave quarters still stand, surrounded by a high brick wall. Down near the river at the foot of 17th Street, is the mansion erected by General \'an Ness, the wealthy New York Congressman who married Marcia, the only ng. Sliowine: the blind a sun-lit way.

RILEY THE D.'^WN OF THE OFFICI.AL DAV AT THE NA\,AI. ACADEMY. OOM! sounds the re\eille gun at si.x in the morning and the echoes of the Severn cariT,' the roar of artillery to the Chesa- peake, and its waves bear it on toward the Atlantic. 'Rahl rah! ta-r-a-h ! " blares the bugle in quarters, and "All up in this corridor!" call the captains of companies, and Bancroft Hall is alive with active humanit>', and the work of the Naval Academy has begun for the dav. W'hat is the Naval Academy It the training school of the nation to instruct young men in the professional knowledge that they require to become efficient officers of the American Navy. It has no other mission. All other instruction, outside of this pale, is incidental. It is true that the authorities of the school teach the young men to be manly in their characters; they provide instructors and means to make them robust in health; and the government fur- nishes them with a chaplain to point them to the straight and narrow way; but these are the adjuncts appendant to the main object of the Academy. An officer to be capable in the service must be a man of moral character, robust health and manly attributes. To be capable and successful he must possess this trio as well as the tech- nical knowledge of his profession. This the Na\al Academy gives him. While this description has been in pro- gress, the inspecting officers ha\e begun their rounds. Immediately upon gun-fire, they, in their several sections, give a quick rap on the room door of the midshipmen, and instantly open it, and the midshipmen in the room, two to an apartment, are ex- pected, under penalty, to be up, and in their night robes, to stand at 'attention!" to the officer. Then he passes on to the ne.xt room, and so in regular procession to the end of his round. A half hour later a second inspection occurs. Then the mid- shipman must be dressed, his windows open, and his bed-clothes turned down for airing. At twenty minutes to seven the bugle sounds for the first formation, roll-call and breakfast. At the end of the meal the THE USITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY. THE GRAND CHAPEL IN OODRSE OF COMPLETION. chaplain recites the prayers of the day. The bricjade files out of the mess hall, and there is a mighty scurrying of feet to take midshipmen up to their rooms to sweep up, make beds, and put their apartments in order for the third inspection, which means that everything must be in proper place. The navy fixes responsibility on the mid- shipmen in dereliction, if the room or anything in it be out of order by making the midshipmen, in alternate order, take the care for a week at a time of their rooms. The midshipmen have their ways. Some of them have the rising act so well in hand that they can stay in bed and sleep until the inspecting officer knocks at the door of their next door neighbor, and then be up in time to answer inspection when the officer reaches their room. THE WORK OF THE DAY. At eight o'clock the bugle sounds for recitations and study hours. If the schedule shows that a midshipman has a recitation, he joins his section and marches off for the section room. If he have none, he remains in his room to study. Each period is an hour, and from 8.00 to 12. JO the mid- shipman is engaged in studies or recita- tions. At that hour there is formation for dinner, and at 1.30 p. m. studies and recitations begin again and continue until 4.00, when practical exercises commence. These may be in artillery or infantry drills, or in seamanship on the U. S. Ship Severn, or boats under oars, cutters under sail, or launches under steam. If it be winter, it may be lessons in tying of knots or splicing ropes, drills in the armory, or exercises in the gymnasium. In all these the midshipmen are held down to hard work, and it must be done in an efficient manner. Falling overboard is a misdemeanor when carelessly done. In one of the boat drills a midshipman fell overboard. It was with difficulty that he was rescued. The next morning he found himself on the report "for falling overboard in a lubberly manner. " At 5.-^0 p. m. the drills are at an end, and the midshipman has until 7.00 to him- self, unless, indeed, he has a button to sew on his clothes, an explanation to write, or his uniform to clean, and more besides possibly, unless he belongs to one of the athletic teams. Then he is not his own, but must come down to severe exercise, whether it is to his wishes or not. At 7. 00 he has his supper, and at 7.25 the call is for another study period, when he goes to his room for two hours of "boneing," as the midshipmen call hard mental work. At half-past nine the gun fires, and the midshipman feels free for thirty minutes. Then Bancroft Hall represents a stirred bee- hive. The bands are unloosed for the first time in the day, for almost every midshipman has something insistent to do during the day when not at study or recitations. From one room to the other the midshipmen go to see each other. A minute here in a chat, a moment there scanning a newspaper, a few seconds in the corridor, and then to another room for an exchange of compliments. jB^P' THE MEMORIAL TO DEPARTED HEROES.

THE RESULTS OF THIS EDUCATION. Admiral McNair, in turning the first sod of the new Naval Academy, in 1899, said that, until the Spanish-American war, the country did not know what the Naval Academy was doing. The na\al battles of the civil war had been fought by command- ers who had entered the Navy before the Naval Academy had been established. It is self-evident that the country found out that the Naval Academy had equipped for the ser\ ice men of capacity, courage and enterprise. Dewey, Schley, Sampson, Cook, Clarke, Philip, ^Vainwright, Hobson and Bagley were all products of the Naval Academy education. \"ictor Blue, who "carried the letter to Garcia," 'was also a graduate of the Na\al Academy, and most of the officers of the Na\y were, too. The countrv' then woke up to the value of the naval school on the banks of the Sev- ern. After an almost successful attempt to remove the Academy from Annapolis, to stem the strong current of such effort the Hon. William Mclntire, of Baltimore City, then in Congress, did heroic and successful work. The motion was made by Congress- man Mudd to appropriate S5U0, 000 to begin the work of impro\ing the Naval Academy. THE IMPROVEMENT OF ACADEMY. rHE N.^V.^iL The Matthews Commission several years before this had called specific and emphatic attention to the condition of the Naval Academy. This board said it was not a Na\al Academy, but a conglomeration of dilapidated buildings, erected from time to time as necessity required it. The Navy Department sent up Mr. Endicott to inspect it. He went from place to place in silence. He found the upper quarters of the midship- men in dangerous condition. In one place the wall was discovered to be several feet out of plumb. An eye witness relates that he stepped back from the leaning corner with alacrity when he had completed his examination. From dilapidation to dilapi- dation he went in silence, until he reached the storehouse, where, in order to protect the stores in it from the weather, a roof had been built inside the house itself, to save the goods from the leakage in the upper roof. Then the official silence was broken, and Inspector Endicott obser\ed to now Admiral Ross, who had accompanied him as the official representative of the Academy, — Well, you do need a new storehouse. ' When the work had been finished and the true condition of the Naxal .Academy build- ings ascertained. Admiral Ross, in charge of the Academy grounds, gave the resident correspondent of The Baltimore American a complete account of the condition of the buildintrs of the Academy, with the obsena- tion : "Now you may go ahead and publish THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY. it abroad as much as you wish. " Tlie Aimr't- ciiii was the first paper in the Union that had the official statement of the state of these worn out buildings. Congressman Mudd was successful, not- withstanding the point of order made against his motion, and the half million was added to the naval appropriations for the improve- ment of the Na\al Academy. This com- menced the millions that ha\e been since spent in erecting the splendid buildings that compose the new Na\al Academ\'. THE .\REA OF THE NAVAL ACADEMY . The Naval Academy is situated on the Severn River, two miles from its entrance into the majestic Chesapeake Bay. From the facade of Bancroft Hall fifty square miles of bold and navigable waters spread out before the vision. The na\ ies of the world could ride at anchor in the roads of Annapolis. The scenery surrounding the Academy is picturesque and beautiful. The area of the Naval Academy proper comprises two hundred acres of land which lie in the shape of a quadrilateral, three of its sides being upon the water. These grounds adjoin the corporate limits of An- napolis. It is but one step from Maryland Avenue, Annapolis, to the Main Walk, Naval Academy. Adjacent to the Naval Academy and attached to it by a bridge, is the Government Farm," consisting of 114 acres. On this is located the quarters of the Marine (juard of the Na\ al Academy and the School of Application for the edu- cation of officers for the Marine Corps. On the opposite side of the Se\ern is Fort Madison and its grounds appendant of 90 acres. On these are located the 1,UUU- yard rifle range used by the midshipmen and other military bodies of the United States. I he Academy has no water area speciall\- its own ; but the broad Severn two miles wide bounds it on the east of the Academy, on the northeast side of the school it is nearly a mile wide, and the Chesapeake Bay, eight miles in width, stretches eastwardly Hfty miles and southwestward a hundred and fifty to the Atlantic. These afford the Academy all the sea-room it needs for prac- tice in small boats under oars, cutters under sail, launches under steam, and great gun practice with its turreted ironclads. THE BlILDINGS OF THE NEW NAVAL .ACADEMY. Fhe first sod of the new Na\al Academy was turned on April 24, 1899. 1 he officer who lifted this turf from its place when the great work began, was the one most appro- priate. He was then the oldest li\ing graduate of the Naval Academy in the acti\e ser\ ice of this country. Ten years was the period allotted for the completion of the work. Practically this \ast architectural feat has been accomplished. Every new building contemplated in 1899 has been completed except the power house, which is well under way. 'Fhe buildings of the Na\al Academy are grouped for economy in time in the prac- tical working of the Academy. 1 he main group consists of Bancroft Hall, the Armor\ CHAULES J.

These are located on the southeast side of the i;roimds and face the Chesapeake. 15efore this group hes a magnificent parade ground, on the northeast corner of which rises old Fort Severn, built in 1808. Bancroft Hall, the quarters of the midshipmen, is 630 feet long, and 350 feet wide. It has 900 rooms in it. The Armory is 400 feet long, and 110 wide. The Seamanship Building has the same dimensions. The Armory and Seamanship Building are connected by cov- ered ways with Bancroft Hall, making an edifice 1,280 feet in extent, and being the longest building in the world. A second group of buildings is composed by the Grand Chapel, the Administration Building, where the Superintendent has his ofHce, and the Superintendent's Residence. The Academy Chapel is 180 feet by 180, and has a height of 168 feet. Its symmet- rical dome, surmounted by a cupola and spire, presents a splendid spectacle. The Academic group is composed of the Library, the buildings for the Department of Physics and Chemistry and the Depart- ment of Mathematics and Mechanics. This group is connected and has an extent of 400 by 350 feet. Next to the chapel, the Library Building is the most beautiful in the Academy. The Steam - Engineering Department Buildings comprise a fourth group. This is composed of the main building of the Department, its annex and the power house. The latter is 200 by 100 feet. The fifth group is residential. This con- sists of handsome rows of houses extending from the Severn to Dorsey's or College Creek, and is about one mile in length. There is a break between Sampson Row on the southeast and Lfpshur Row on the northwest, but it is expected that a generous Congress will appropriate the money to pur- chase the three squares in Annapolis that alterthe straight line of Academic boundaries and which prevent the union of these sepa- rate rows of buildings. They are occupied now by officers attached to the Academy. THK WORK .A.ND FUTURE OK THK NAVAL .'\CADEMV. The Naval Academv was established October 1(1. 1845, James K. P.ilk being THE ARMORY AND DRILL HALL. BANCROFT HALL President and George Bancroft Secretary of the Navy. In the past the Academy has equipped officers who went forth from its halls prepared to meet in battle array the best naval forces of the nations. The Academy has obtained an unquestioned rep- utation as ' ' the best nav al school in the world." The officers of the American Navy have the confidence of the country. The people relv implicitly on their ability, courage and fidelity in the hour of the coun- try's peril and danger. They have proved themselves capable in battle, and have given a Mahan to philosopic history; a Beehler and Hske to invention; a DeLong and a Danenhower to exploration. It is the aim of the Naval Academy to educate its students in all that they will need to become competent naval officers; to keep them in the forefront of nautical knowledge, and to make them masters of the art of maritime warfare. It goes without saying EMANCIPATION. STEAM ENGINEERING BUILDING. ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. that the Academ\' inculcates the solemn duty upon its trraduates to be irentlemen as v\'ell as officers. The Academy neglects nothing that a midshipman will require to know when he reaches the estate of a com- missioned officer. While the youngest class will be found learning on the spars of the U. S. Ship Se\ern the basal principles of hand- ling a boat under sails, the Seniors will be seen diving in the depths of the Chesapeake in the submarine, laying mines from bank to bank of the rixer, or tiring great guns from ships under steam. Kquipped with two modern languages besides his own, learned in the law of nations, grounded in the facts of ancient and modern history, instructed in the art of speaking and writing the English language correctly, polished by experience and a practical chemist, an electrician, a patternmaker, a machinist, an engineer, a boilermender and a smith, a draftsman and a foot-soldier as well as a seaman, the graduate of the Na\al Academy has a diploma of which any man might be proud and a future before him that any patriotic American youth may envy. Emancipation By REV. MALTBIE D. BABCOCK Why be afraid of Death, as though your life were breath ? Death but anoints your eyes with clay. O glad surprise! Why should you be forlorn.' Death only husks the corn. Why should you fear to meet the thresher of the wheat i' Is sleep a thing to dread.? "^'et sleeping, you are dead Till you awake and rise, here or beyond the skies. Why should it be a wrench to leave your wdoden bench, Why not with happy shout run home when school is out.'' The dear ones left behind ! ( ) foolish one and blind. A day — and you will meet a night and you will greet! This is the death of Death, to breathe away a breath And know the end of strife, and taste the deathless life, And joy without a fear, and smile without a tear, And work, nor care to rest, and find the last the best. The Songs We Loved in Infancy By CHARLES L. SHIPLEY ^*^H() "f thf Inimaii race, in the full e n j o y m e n t o f Cjod-given ci\iIization and Christianity, has not at some time been stirred to the deptiis of his son! on hearin>r some familiar hymn or song of childhood days.' Much pity for him whose environment of early days passed his life over that period of impressionable sentiment, and more pity for him who has grown to forget in the mad rush of fortune hunting. Many of the old songs come down to the present generation loaded with the dust of years, but when this dust is brushed aside, and their familiar melodies bring in review reminiscences of 'days gone by," they stand forth in glittering colors and are dearer than ever on account of their age and the pleasant memories they re\ i\e. "Long, long be my heart with siich memories filled. Like the vase in which roses have once been distilled; You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will. But the scent of the roses wiH cling to it still." In compiling a list of these old-time favor- ites, perhaps the most appropriate one to head the collection is the one that has gained a world wide influence and moved hundreds of thousands to honest tears by its sweet- ness of pathos and sentiment. It is John Howard Payne's "Home, Sweet Home." Home! W'hat a volume of meaning in that one word — what recollections — what sentiment. There is no word so dear to the human heart, or that sends through the mind such a flood of pleasant recollections as the word "home." What pleasant recollections,' says a writer, "are linked with home. Time can- not wipe from our minds the joyous hours of youthful innocence spent in the home of our childhood. 1 hough we may roam the wide world over and look upon that which is great and grand both in art and nature, the scenes of our childhood which come so often and so vividly to our minds are more glorious and more precious to us than any- thing else. "Home of our childhood! how affection clings .And hovers 'round thee with seraph wings! Dearer thy hills, though clad in autumn brown, Than fairest summits which the cedars crown. Whatever else we forget we cannot for- get the place of our birth, we cannot forget the many happy days spent with brothers and sisters in the old homestead, we cannot forget our father's loving counsel and our mother's an.xious prayers." 'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam. Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home! .\ charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, \\'hich, seek through the world, is ne'er met with else- where. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home! There's no pl.'ice like home! .\n exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain — (.)h! give me my lowly thatch'd cottage again! The birds, singing gayly. that came at my call — Give me them! — with the peace of mind, dearer than all. Home! home! sweet, sweet home! There's no place like home! There's no place like home! Thus sang Payne and millions of other men and women have sung in the past and will in the future. Following closely after "Home, Sweet Home," we cannot choose a more appro- priate second tribute than the one whose composer passed his declining years in want and distress, while others enjoyed the money reaped in harvest from its sales. It is "Kathleen Mavourneen," which will remain an ever living power in the realm of human sentiment as long as the memory of man cherishes and transmits from gener- ation the recollections of the universal human heart. The poem itself was not written by Frederick Nichols Crouch, the composer of its melody. It was written by a Mrs. Marion Crawford, and was first published in an Finglish magazine. A dreamer by nature, and possessed of the natural Celtic ear for music, and the Celtic's proverbial appreciation of romance and sentiment, the words appealed to his heart; he read them over and over again, and each time he read them the more they fascinated him. At once came the melody like a burst of inspiration. The song was born. Crouch wrote out the music and took it to a firm of music dealers who saw in it at a glance the peculiar charm of the song that would easily win them a fortune. Their secret estimate of the piece they carefully kept to them- selves, however, and offered Crouch ju§t £S, or $25 for it. He accepted it without the least realization that he was turning over 8 THE SONGS If'E LOIED IN INEANCY. to them a handsome fortune. It was the same old story of genius. They took the sonir, published it, and ^vew rich ; he with mind and body shattered, neglected and almost helpless, died in po\erty in one of the back streets of Baltimore city. The followinir are the lines familiar to almost the entire ci\ilized world; Kathleen Mavourneen! The gray dawn is breaking. The horn of the hunter is Jieard on tlie hill ; The lark from her light wing the bright dew is shak- ing- Kathleen Mavourneen ! What! Slumbering still? Oh. hast thou forgotten this day we must part? It may be for years and it may be forever — Oh. why art thou silent, then, voice of my heart? Kathleen Mavourneen! Awake from thy slumbers! The blue mountain's glow in the sun's golden light: .'\h! Where is the spell that once hung on my numbers? .■\rise in thy beauty, thou star of my night! Mavourneen. Mavourneen. my sad tears are falling To think that from Erin and thee I must part; It may be for years and it may be forever. Then why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart? In speaking of this song a writer a few years back says: "Not long ago Patti sung this song in London, and the next day the London papers blazed with great editorials about the beautiful \alue of music to man- kind. The voice of Patti, the tenderness of the words, and the complete oneness of the sentiment in words and music set the me- tropolis of the world on hre. The scene at the theatre was remarkable. Men and women looked at one another with tears streaming down their faces and blinding their eyes. * * * In the glory of that brilliant scene no one thought of the composer, or, say, no one thought of him as a helpless old man, living almost in squalor in a back street of an American city." Professor Crouch died in the winter of 1896, and is interred in Loudon Park Cem- etery, Baltimore, Md. At his interment his belo\ed "Kathleen .\la\ourneen"" was sung as his requiem. Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt? Sweet Alice whose hair was so brown. Who wept with delight when you gave her a snnle .'\nd trembled with fear at your frown ? Don't you remember.' What three words in our language imply so much in their mean- ing, as they have echoed down the long aisles of the past of over a half century ago when the late Thomas Dunn pjiglish made use of them in forming the first stanza of a poem that .stands second only to "Kathleen Mavourneen" .' When Dr. English wrote "Ben Bolt" in 1842 he little reckoned that fifty years later his sf)ng would ha\e such a re\i\al before the world that its merits would be praised and admired by the hundreds and thousands of the second generation following his day. Such has been the case, however, since the advent of the famous ' Trilby," from the pen of the late Du .\Iaurier. I'^nglish was a physician, journalist, author of several novels, playwright, and a poet of considerable promise. But of all his \arious pursuits and numerous productions the key- stone of his fame rests upon the sweet, pa- thetic and reminiscent verses of "Ben Bolt." The Doctor was requested by a friend, the editor of a magazine, who was acquainted with his poetic powers, to write a poem of sea life, or some little song of the sea. The poet informs us that in thinking over the sub- ject and realizing the difficulty of composing a fit poem his mind drifted back into the past in a reminiscent mood, and hardly knowing what he was doing, he composed the song as it now stands, with the e.xception of the last four lines. Reaching this point he be- came conscious of his promise to write a sea poem, and of the fact that he had not done so. Then, as closing, he added the verse : Twelve months twenty have passed, Ben Bolt. Since first we were friends — yet I hail Thy presence a blessing, thy friendship a truth. Ben Bolt of the salt sea gale. The poem was now finished, but, not being satisfied, English sent it to his friend, asking him to destroy it if it did not suit him. It is needless to repeat that the poet's friend was pleased and that its publication immediately followed, and "Ben Bolt" be- came another example, among hundreds produced by tongue or pen, of a success at- tained when least e.xpected. ft BEN BOLT.

If there ever was such a thinii as inspiration this song was inspired. Concerning its origin a cele- brated traveler and musician. Colonel R. E. L. Wentling, gives us the following descrip- tion : * ' It was while visiting the house of a noble in Kngland that I rtrst heard the story of the birth of 'The Lost Chord.' There are few P.nglishmen who do not remember Fred Sullivan, the great comic star and brother of the late Sir Arthur Sulli- van. He played in all the original Gilbert and Sullivan operas and has never been equaled. 'One day Sir Arthur Sulli\an was noti- fied that his brother Fred was \ery ill. He made e\ery effort to reach the house where his brother was lying at the point of death, but arrived too late to see him alive. The two brothers were devoted to each other and the blow was a bitter one to Sir Arthur. He was closeted with the body of his brother for two hours, at the expiration of which time he came down stairs and went to the piano. Throwing the instrument open, he began to pla\', and bar by bar, The Lost Chord ' was evolved. The composer sadly put his new composition on paper and stored it away. Ihe song is the wail of a throbbing heart, the grief of desolation. All through its beautiful harmony can be heard the strain of grief. So profound an impression did the association of the song with the death of his brother make on Sir Arthur that even to the day of his death, he had an aversion to hearing it played." THE LOST CHORD. Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, And my fingers wandered idly over the noisy keys; I knew not what I was playing, or what I was dream- ing then. But I struck one chord of music, like the sound of a great Amen, Like the sound of a great Amen. It flooded the crimson twilight, like the close of an Angel's Psalm, It lay on my fevered spirit, with a touch of infinite calm, It quieted pain and sorrow, like love overcoming strife, It seemed harmonious echo from our discordant life. It linked all perplexing meanings into one perfect [leace, And trembled away into silence, as if it were loth to cease, I have sought, but I seek it vainly, that one lost chord divine. Which came from the soul of the organ, and entered into mine. It may be that Death's bright angel will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in Heaven, I shall hear that grand Amen. It may be that Death's bright angel will speak in that chord again. It may be that only in Heaven, I shall hear that grand Amen. Following closely in the footsteps of "The Lost Chord," we consider the fol- lowing poem is a perfect facsimile in its purpose to speak from a heart that has suf- fered in solitude and silence, when cut off from association with the human family. It is supposed to have been written by Alexander Selkirk, the shipwrecked sailor, the famous ' Robinson Crusoe" of our boyhood days, during his solitary abode, two centuries ago, on the Island of Juan Fer- nandez, west of Chili, South America. It is entitled: 12 THE SONGS rrE LOVED IN INEJNCY. I AM MONARCH OF ALL I SURVEY. I am monarch of all I survey, My right there is none to dispute; From the centre all round to the sea, I am lord of the fowl and the brute. Oh, solitude! where are the charms. That sages have seen in thy face ? Better dwell in the midst of alarms, Than reign in this horrible place. I am out of humanity's reach. I must finisli my journey alone; Never hear the sweet mnsick of speech; I start at the sound of my own. The beasts that roam over the plain My form with indifference see; They are so unacquainted with mnn. Their tameness is shocking to me. Society, friendship and love. Divinely bestow'd upon man. Oh, had I the wings of a dove, How soon would I taste you again! My sorrows I then might assuage In tlie ways of religion and truth; Might learn from the wisdom of age. And be cheered by the sallies of youth. Religion! what treasure untold Resides in that heavenly world! More precious than silver or gold, Or all that this earth can afford. These vallies and rocks never heard; Ne'er sigh'd at the sound of a knell, Or smil'd when a sabbath appeared. Ye winds, that have made me your sport, Convey to this desolate shore Some cordial, endearing report Of a land I shall visit no more. My friends, do they now and then send A wish or a thought after me? O tell me I yet have a friend. Though a friend I am never to see. How fleet is a glance of the mind! Compar'd with the speed of its flight: The tempest itself lags behind, And the swift-wing'd arrows of light. When I tliink of my own native land, In a moment I seem to be there ; B'lt, alas! recollection at hand Soon hurries me back to despair. But the sea-fowl is gone to her nest. The beast is laid down in his lair; Even here is a season of rest. And I to my cabin repair. There's mercy in every place. And mercy — encouraging thought — Gives even affliction a grace. .'\nd reconciles man to his lot. WHITTIER AND HIS LOVE. There have been in all a^es and all coun- tries men who have loved and suffered for that love, when some unforeseen event oc- curred to blast their hopes and caused them to lead a single life. The late venerable Quaker poet, John G. Whittier. was one of the unfortunates of this class. Whittier ne\er married, and anyone who realized the deep lo\ intj nature of the poet, whoever looked at the passion shining in his dark, intense eyes, and the tenderness that showed itself around the closely shut lips, could not fail to ask himself what bitter memory made him lead a single life. In his youth the poet loved and suffered, and the painfulness of his experience shut up his heart and made him li\e a single life. When a boy at school he fell in love with a blushing, brown-eyed maiden, and used to carry spelling book and geography back and forth for her from school. As the future poet grew older his attachment deepened, but the young girl, when just on the verge of womanhood, sank into a decline and died. It is this love of his early youth that years afterward the poet immortalized in the fol- lowing beautiful verses, that are known to the girls and boys of this and foreign coun- tries: Still sits the school house by the road, A ragged beggar sunning; Around it still the sumachs grow, And blackberry vines are running. Within the master's desk is seen, Deep scarred by raps official ; The warping floor, the battered seat, The jacknife's carved initial. The charcoal frescoes on its wall ; Its door's worn sill betraying The feet that, creeping slow to school, Went storming out in playing. Long years ago a winter sun Shone over it at setting, Lit up its western window panes And low eave's icy fretting. It touched the tangled, golden curls And brown eyes full of grieving Of one who still her steps delayed. When all the school were leaving. For near her stood the little boy Her childish favor singled. His cap pulled low upon a face Where pride and shame were mingled. Pushing with restless feet the snow To right and left, he lingered. As restlessly her tiny hand The blue checked apron fingered. He saw her lift her eyes; he felt The soft hand's light caressing. And felt the trembling of her voice. As if a fault confessing. "I'm sorry that I spelt the word; I hate to go above you. You see" — the brown eyes lower fell, — ■ "You see, because I love you." Still memory to a gray-haired man That sweet child face is showing. Dear girl, the grasses on her grave Have forty years been growing. He lives to learn in life's hard school How few who pass above him. Lament their triumph and his loss Like her — because they love him. Another tt)uching poem by the late George P. Morris, is that entitled '*My Mother's Bible," and is one of touching and tender pathos: MY mother's bible. This book is all that's left me now! Tears will unbidden start — With faltering lip and throbbing brow I press it to my heart. For many generations past. Here is our family tree; My mother's hands this Bible clasp'd ; She, dying, gave it me. THE SONGS irE LOT ED IN INFANCY. 13 Ah! well do I remember those Whose names these records bear. Who round the hearth-stone used to close After the evening prayer, And speak of what these pages said, In tones my heart would thrill! Though they are with the silent dead.

Thy constancy I've tried; Where all were false I found thee true — My counselor and guide. The mines of earth no treasure give That could this volume buy: In teaching me the way to live It taught me how to die. For a rattlino;, jingling old poem, relating to old reminiscences and reminders of days gone by," we cannot select a better one than that composed by the late OMver Wendell Holmes, and entitled *'Bill and Joe:" Come, dear old comrade, you and I Will steal an hour from days gone by — The shining days when life was new And all was bright as morning dew — The lusty days of long ago When you were Bill and I was Joe.

A few years ago while wandering over the scenes of our boyhood days, and view- ing places where years ago were passed some of the most pleasant hours of our life, the following lines of a distinguished poet flashed through our mind, and we cannot better ex- press our feelings than to give expression to them in the sad little ballad of "Twenty Years Ago. TWENTY YE.^RS AGO. I have wandered to the village, Tom, I've sat beneath the tree Upon the school house playground, which sheltered you and me; But none are left to know me. Tom. and few are left to know That played ujion the green just twenty years ago. The grass is just as green, dear Tom; barefooted boys at play Are sporting just as we were then, with spirits just as gay; But the master sleeps upon the hill, all coated o'er with snow. That afforded us a sliding place, just twenty years ago. The following lines were found upon the body of a poor tramp near Lexington, \'a. , and bore every indication of a past that had been one of sorrow and grief, are very sug- gestive, and will cause a feeling of sympathy in his behalf and other unfortunates of a like class: Ah, the hour is cold and dreary. And the snow is falling fast; O'er the city falls the twilight. O'er my form the chilling blast. Ah. my heart is almost breaking. And my limbs are numb with cold; I have neither home nor kindred. And my days are almost told. As I walk the crowded pavements. Gay with wealth and mirth and joys, As I see the happy faces And windows full of toys- Back my memory goes; yes, backward To a time long, long gone by. When I was a trusted, loved one. And my hopes were soaring high. There is a certain class of verse which, be it appro\ed or not by the critics, always touches the popular heart. A dainty bit of sentiment, a touching experience, a trifle of pathos, when given in a little poem or song consisting of a few stanzas, often warms the gentler feelings and finds a lasting place where far more pretentious pieces are born and die comparatively unnoticed. What is here given to the public, are not, all taken together, the works of mas- ters and geniuses, but they are poems of the heart and have awakened in the human breast many a chord of sympathy, and are gathered together under the title of the old verses : THE SONCS WE LOVED IN INFANCY. When our lives are full of brightness. Before we catch the gloom; When our hearts are full of lightness, T'efore the achings come; When our feet have not grown weary In the long and dusty road. And the pathway is not dreary Which leads us up to God — How like the angel melody The songs we loved in infancy. When the hopes of life are glowing; When the dreams of life are dear; When the joys of life are flowing In a river, calm and clear; W'hen smiles, and love, and kindness. Make all our pathway bright. And we see not — -in our blindness — The coming of the night — Oh, then how sweet, how dear must be The songs that we loved in infancy! Mt. Vernon, Ohio I HE name of Mt. Vernon is an historic one in the United States. Nation- ally it represents one of the oldest points of inter- est in the entire country, and about it cling memo- ries of re\ olutionary times. The name is also a sturdy one, and in the Buckeye State it represents the home of men who for a century past have taken active part in national affairs, both while the do\e of more i?c Ohio Railway System. In size it is outdone by a few stations in the larger cities, but in beauty of architectural design, in its general interior plan and Hnish its provi- sions for the comfort of the traveling public it stands alone. The new structure is the pride of the officials of the Baltimore iSc Ohio Railway Company, of e\ery employe of the company and of every citizen of Mt. X'ernon. The exterior walls of the structure are of mottled gray pressed brick. The roof is of. red tiling. The interior, embracing a THE NEW B.iLTIMORE 4 OHIO PASSEN(;|-,K s 1 ATION AT MT. VEKNON. OHIO peace hovered above the Nation, and when the cloud of war seemed certain to tear the states asunder. Mt. Vernon, Ohio, is in nowise a city of magic growth, but is one of long and steady progressiveness. To-day it is one of the more important of the smaller cities of Ohio. The city now lays claim to added distinc- tion in possessing the prettiest and most mod- ern passenger station of any of the many divisions that are included in the mighty Balti- wonien's rest room, with toilet, a spacious general waiting room, a gentlemen's smok- ing room with toilet, a commodious office for telegraphers and the ticket department, is finished in quarter-sawed golden oak, which, like the hardwood floors, is in the natural color and highly polished. 'I he building is steam-heated and is lighted with electricity, the lamps being arranged with an eye to decorati\e effect. The baggage- room is reached by way of a hall from the AIT. I'ERXOX, OHIO. 15 general waiting room, an added convenience for those who travel. To the south of the station will be a lawn with floral designs in season. To the rear and at the north side are macadam driveways. The platform is of cement, twenty feet in width, and extends from High street to Chestnut street. Work on the new station was begun in 1906. The station was formally opened to the public in November, 1907. Mt. Vernon, Ohio, is in the center of one of the largest natural gas fields in the world. The field, while comparatively new, supplies practically all the gas for fuel and lighting purposes in all the chief cities of the state. Experts who have visited the field and made in\estigations as to rock- pressure, predict that the supply will not be exhausted for a quarter of a century for manufacturing establishment purposes, and that the supply for domestic consumption will be adequate for a much longer period. Many new tracts are being added to the general field as originally tested and wells of astonishing gas production are being drilled in each week. Embraced in the chief industries of .\It. \'ernon are the C. & G. Cooper Corliss Engine works, The .\It. \'ernon Bridge Company's plant. The Northwestern Ele\a- tor (^' Milling Company's properties, the mammoth Chambers' \A indow Glass Com- pany's plant, The Camp \\'indow Glass Company-, the Mt. N'ernon Window Cjlass Company, The Essex Sanitary Milk Bottle manufactory, the John S. McConnell Com- pany's Overalls factory and wool ware- houses. The Hayes Glass Jar and \V'hite Liner manufactorv', the Pennsylvania Rail- way Company's shops, the Challingsworth Foundry & Machine Company's plant. 'Ehere are, adjacent to the Baltimore iSc Ohio Railway Company's tracks, in and contiguous to Mt. Vernon, numerous fine sites for manufacturing establishments, all provided with switch-tracks. All of the leading religious denominations are here represented by strong churches. 1 he public schools are among the best in Ohio. The city's water supply for domestic purposes is secured from artesian wells, and the plant is owned by the municipality. From a population of 7,0UU the city of Mt. Vernon has made a steady growth in the past decade to more than 14,000. The city bids fair to continue to add to its population, as new industries are now seeking locations here and are receiving enthusiastic encouragement from every source. Among the many attractive features of the city which appeal to industrial con- cerns is the railway shipping facilities, com- plete information in this particular being obtainable through the Freight Traffic Department of the Baltimore .5c Ohio Rail- way Company. Florida and Cuba LORIDA and Cuba are the popular winter resorts of America; the deliKhtful climate of both, the many fashionable and attractive places in Florida, and the pleasurable short sea trips through the quaint city of Havana, make these places obiecti\e points for tourists from the time the chilly blasts of winter strike the northern states in December until April showers insure the return of more seasonable weather. Each winter finds railway facilities much improved over the preceding year, adding greatly to the comfort and convenience of travel. The season of 19U7-8 introduces the New Union Station at Washington D. C, which now houses all the railways entering that city. Patrons of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to or from the South now make direct connections with all trains of the Seaboard Air line, Atlantic Coast Line, Southern Railway and Washington Southern Railway, in the new station without transfer across the city. This will enable tourists from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore to use the splendid trains of the famous Royal Blue Line; and will give tourists from Pittsburg, Cleveland and Chicago a new direct route.

The Greatest Naval Cruise of History HE greatest naval demon- stration in the world's history, and the assem- blin Torpedo-boat destroyers 'i, the ships will arrive at Magdalena Bay March 14, where they will have their target practice. The day of departure from .Magdalena Bay and of arrival at San Fran- cisco are dependent on the time it will take to complete the target practice, but it is ex- pected the fleet will have concluded this work by April 25 and will arrive at San Francisco Bay on May 1. 'Fhe torpedo boat flotilla left Hampton Roads on December 2. Because of their greater speed, more limited draft and smaller tonnage the torpedo-boat destroyers will stop at a greater number of places than the big battleships. Their stay at each port will be about four or five days. 'Fhe itin- erary contemplates their arrival at the vari- ous places as follows : Pernambuco, January 5; Rio de Jan- eiro, January 15; Montevideo, January 25; Punta Arenas, February 8 ; Talcahuana, February 20; Callao, March 4; Panama, March 16; Acapuico, March 28; Magda- lena Bav', April 6. As in the case of the battleship fleet, the dates of departure from Magdalena Bay and arrival at San Francisco are dependent upon completion of target practice in the bay. On December 16, the day before Admiral Fvans and his fleet of 16 battleships put to iuHl'EDO-liO.Vr DESTKOVKK 'HULL.' THE GRE.rrEST NJIJL CRIISE OF HISTORY. sea, President Roosevelt steamed down the Potomac on the Mayflower to review the fleet as it passed out Hampton Roads. The President wished them [jood hick and a safe journey. W hen that (rreat fleet will return and by what route no one knows, nor is anyone in authority wiihns to make a pre- diction. The \essels will be put through innumer- able maneuvers by Admiral Evans while on this journey, and on some portions of the trip conditions of war will be simulated and drills engaced in that will test the efficiency of both officers and crew. One of the reasons ascribed by Navy Department officials for the mobilization of the two big fleets in the Pacific is that it will gixe opportunity for Admiral Evans to realize a desire he has cherished for a long time — to go through battle tactics with the largest possible force of modern warships. This will give him opportunity to see what the big armored cruisers, which are larger than an\' of the older battleships, can do against the biggest war dogs of to-day. Aside from this, the flotilla of torpedo craft which will accompany the battleships, and the several submarines which will be shipped across, with the few gunboats now on the Pacific, will make possible maneuvers of two big fleets cruisers pitted against battle- ships — to display properly the qualities of each type of vessel, armament and turret and gun arrangement. The magazines of each ship will be stored with a full comple- ment of ammunition. Piotori.il News Co., \e\v York.

Cuba and Nassau Bv LYMAN DENISON IHKRE is no more fasci- nating place in the west- ern hemisphere than this same gay city of Havana. No more foreign atmo- sphere is to be found in the Mediterranean than is afforded by this "Old World" city, whose harbor mouth is guarded by the grim Morro ure ships of the Main in the narrow seas between Horida and this same old Morro. Since those brave days the city has changed, inasmuch as it has kept pace with modern times in the matter of conveniences, electric lights, street cars, telephones and automo- biles, all of which are plainly in e\idence; but the style of architecture, the narrow streets in the old portion of the city are the lower HATTI-.KV. cabanas, HAVANA. Castle - in itself replete with suggestions of the days when the Spanish Main was fair cruising ground for Teach, Morgan, Latitte and other gentry, who wined, dined and fought under the shadow of the flag with the skull and cross-bones, always, how- ever, keeping a sharp lookout for the treas- same that were built with an idea of barri- cades, to hinder the progress of buccaneers and pirates in the olden days referred to. In those days Havana was a walled city. To-day, one can see portions of the old wall still standing, crowded with sentry box and lookout towers that tell a storv of CUBA AND NASSAU. -?n- -■■ BOAT LANDING. MOKKO CASTLE. helmet and breast-plate, of marion and arquebus, worn under that proud blazon of Castile and Leon, the blood and trold flag of Spain. Since those days the necessity for a stone wall to keep out undesirable visit- ors has passed, and the city grew apace. The modern part is replete with broad streets and handsome structures, and the whole city is kept scrupulously clean and is attractive in e\ery respect. The Spaniard and Cuban people are a fun loving class, and it has been the custom for many years to have a Winter Carnival here. This year's festivities are being planned with a view toward making it an event of par- ticular attraction for tourists - and visitors. The mayor and councilmen have donated from the city treasury a large sum of money for this purpose. It is intended to have music in the public parks every afternoon and night, horse racing, aquatic sports, parades, a general illumination of the city at night and many other attractions to begin February 23. During the actual Carnival period, commencing February 23 and last- ing until March 31, each Sunday will be seen a spectacle so attractive that I have neither words nor space to describe it in detail. The parade will form in the Central Park about 2.00 p. m. each Sunday after- noon, and will consist of floats representing the Island industries, decorated coaches, drags, tandem tea carts, volantes, automo- biles and in fact every sort of presentable vehicle. The parade will be miles in ex- tent, will circle the city along the beautiful Prado, out the Sea WW] drive and back by the magnificient boule\ard of the Carlos III. road. The balconies along the way are crowded with people throwing confetti, which com- pliment is heartily returned by the people in the parade and on the sidewalks. Every- thing and everybody wears a holiday aspect, and all enter into the spifit of the time with the utmost abandon and good nature. Cjroups of people on foot, clad in most fantastic costumes, catch the eye. Here may be seen a group of fancy maskers mak- ing sport for those who care to see; a ring is formed around them, there is a blast from a tmmpet and into the ring spring half a dozen men clad in the gaudy, but beautiful, costume of the bull fighter. The bull, as represented by two men clad in a bull's skin, with dangerous looking horns, comes charging into the ring, shaking his head vigorously, bellowing ferociously, and strange to say, scratching his hind legs, or some other equally ludicrous action, which sets the crowd in a roar of laughter. Suddenly he charges headlong at a toreador, who sidesteps lightly, whipping the bull in the face with a red flag; possibly the sidestep- ping is not gracefully done, a foot slips and down goes the toreador, whereupon the bull is filled with rage and rushes upon him, jumps on him with its fore feet, while the CUBA AND NASSAU. hind feet, not to be cheated out of this satisfaction, tries its best to jump on him also; but failing, owing to the construction of the animal, takes a kick forward at him. Then comes the matador with a sword made of a stick, stalking forth amid the plaudits of the on-lookers, to pose, to bow and lift his cap in salute; and then, after sharpening his sword upon the sole of his shoe, he adjusts the bull's position to his better prepared this year in this respect than ever before, as in addition to the other hotels, a new and palatial one is to open its doors in February. It is the "Hotel Sevilla," just being finished at a cost of half a million dollars, and is undoubtedly the finest and most thoroughly equipped hotel in this part of the world. It has .-JOU rooms, most of them with toilet, bath, clothes closer, telephone, electric lights, brass bed- ENTRANCE TO OLU CAVE. CUBA. satisfaction and makes the fatal thrust. The poor animal staggers, shakes its head from side to side, and sinks slowly to the ground — that is, the front end of him does, the rear end probably e.xecutes a little .step dance and the crowd moves on to view the next spectacle, of which there are many. A large tra\el is expected during Febru- ary and March but the hotels are adequate to care for all that come. Havana is steads, modern mattresses, and in fact every comfort of modern times. It will have palm garden, Japanese tea room, music, and in fact every attraction of an up-to-date hotel, with American management and help. So, no one need fear inferior hotel accommodations in Havana. It is surprising how many people, who should know better, regard Havana as a remote and inaccessible place. As a matter CUBA AND NASSAU.

" Nassau is the chief city and capital of the island of New Providence, and is under British rule. Its population is about 14,000, about one-fifth of whom are white. It is situated on the north shore of the island; the principal thoroughfare is called Bay Street, divided into East and West. Gov- ernment House and other prominent build- ings are on the crest of a hill back of the landing. Fort Fincastle crowns the summit of the hill, and is reached by way of the (Jueen' s Staircase, a great passageway cut through the coral rock sixty or seventy feet deep and about twenty feet wide.

SHIPLEY »^5^^JT'1N the month of September, '\U 1781, Fort Henry, now the site of the city of Wheeling, West N'irginia, was invested by a large force of Indians under the leadership of the notorious Simon Girty, the most famous or rather in- famous renegade of that period. So suddenh was the attack made that no time was afforded for preparation. The fort at the time was commanded by Colonel Silas Zane ; and Colonel Kbenezer Zane, the senior officer, was in a block house fifty yards distant from the fort. Among the inmates of the fort was Cap- tain Isaac Williams, one of the most cel- ebrated pioneers of his day. Along with him was his wife who was a Rebecca Mar- tin, from Maryland, and whom Captain Williams had rescued in a romantic manner while fleeing for her life from the Indians in a canoe on the Ohio river. She was noted along the entire Ohio frontier as being equally as brave and fearless as her distinguished husband. On the monung following the investment a demand was made for the surrender of the fort, and Colonel Zane, smilingly turning to Mrs. Williams, asked her what reply he should give. "Tell him, "said Mrs. Will- iams, 'that we will defend it as long as there is a charge of powder left." This fearless answer was promptly delivered to the renegade and his dusky followers. A hea\y hre was then opened upon the post and the siege was pressed with such vigor that in two days half the garrison was killed and wounded. There was no surgeon in the post, but Mrs. Williams did all she could for the wounded and with such skill and success that a doctor who arri\ed a few days later declared that he himself could not have done any better. W hen not engaged in dressing the wounds of the post's defenders, she seized a rifle and manned a loop-hole. She was a splen- did shot, and while the other women mould- ed bullets, she flred them with such pre- cision that four of Girty' s warriors were disabled before her post in less than an hour. Despite, however, the heroism of both men and women, the garrison was reduced to a dozen men, and to complete the des- perate situation the powder gave out. Fifty yards distant was the block house, and in it was stored the only remaining kegof powder. It could only be obtained by passingthe whole distance under the hre of the enemy — a feat that seemed altogether hopeless and cer- tain death to any one who would attempt it. The commandant called for \olunteers. I he men were all silent. The risk was a deadly one. After gazing at each other some time, each waiting for some one else to speak, a young man stepped forward and said he would undertake the perilous mission. Immediately a half dozen offered their services. While they were disputing about who should go, Elizabeth Zane, a sister of the Zanes, and just fresh from a boarding school in Philadelphia, came forward and declared she would go for the powder. Her brother thought that she would flinch from the enterprise, but he was mistaken. She had the intrepidity and fortitude char- acteristic of the daughters of pioneer days to sustain her in this the heroic risk of her life. Her brother then tried to dissuade her from the attempt, by saying that a man would be more fleet, consequently would be in less risk of his life. She deftly replied that they had not a man to lose from the defense of the fort, and if she should fall she would scarcely be missed. She then dive.sted herself of such of her clothing as would impede her speed. The gate was thrown open, and Elizabeth bound- ed out at the top of her speed and ran swiftly forward until she reached the door of the block house. Her brother hastened to open the door to his intrepid sister. The Indians when the\' saw her bound forth did not fire a shot, but called aloud in amazement, A squaw ! A squaw! " When she told her errand to her brother, he took a table-cloth, and putting the keg of powder in it, she slung it over her shoul- ders and prepared for her perilous return trip. The moment she issued from the house, the enemy suddenK- di\ ined her mis- 10 THE HEROISM OF ELVIABETH ZANE. slon, and bullet after bullet came flyintr past hours Girty raised the sle^e and departed the bra\e girl, but true and swift as an arrow with his warriors. shot from a bow she kept her path until the 1 he memory of this bra\e sed behind her, the balls heroic act has been perpetuated in diverse from the Indian rifles burying themselves in ways, but perhaps none of them does her the heavy timbers. the justice deserved than the poetical tribute The heroic girl was welcomed with fren- of a distinguished writer that was paid to her zied cheers by the garrison, and the fight over twenty years ago in the St. Nicholas was renewed with such energy that in a few Magazine: This dauntless pioneer maiden's name Is inscribed In gold on the sctqII of Fame; She was the lassie who knew no fear When the tomahawk gleamed on the far frontier.

THE BEAUTIFUL VAI.I.EV OF THl The Beautiful CI NE of the most attractive views of American scenery is that of the beautiful valley of the Cheat River in West Virginia on the western side of the Allegheny Mountain range; the exquisite view practically commences at Rowlesburg, W. Va., and extends westward for twenty- five miles. The eccentric river which derives its name from its decep- tive features, winds along its tortuous path through great gorges in the mountains, here and there flowing peacefully in a narrow stream, then suddenly breaking forth in dashing torrents. It is in this valley the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, when it first crossed the Allegheny Mountains, was compelled to bolster itself along the side of the mountain by an enormous stone wall known as " Buckhorn Wall," which was considered one of the oreat encrineerinor feats of its time. Cheat River cuts its narrow bed many feet below the railway tracks, and the sides of the mountains rise abruptly to a height varying EAl' R1\KR IN WI'.ST VIRGINIA. at River Valley. from 1,500 to 2,000 feet. The scene presented above shows the Baltimore & Ohio R. R. tracks in the center, on the south side of the stream, and the Hne of the Morgantown & Kingwood Railway, which has recently been completed through to Rowlesburg, on the other side. Far up the valley is the cement works built on the steep side of the mountain. Interesting features of the domestic life of this valley are the diminutive farms, which do not comprise more than 100 or 200 square feet, cultivated on the sides of the mountains at angles of 45 degrees. At all seasons of the year this territory presents a marvelous pan- orama of beauty. It is in this section occurred the preliminary skir- mishing of the Civil War between McClellan of the Union Army, and Floyd of the Confederate, and in the records of the war it is shown that many men were lost in falling over the deceptive precipices which abound in that neicrhborhood. The Modern Railway Station Architecturally ?T would be difficult to cite an instance where the de- mand on the part of the public for better architec- ture has been more con- scientiously met than in the case of the great rail- road corporations throughout the country in the improvement of their stations. The Baltimore iSc Ohio Railroad Company has gone as far if not farther than most roads in that they have an architectural depart- ment to give special thought to the needs and requirements as well as design of the many new stations they are building at various places along the line of their road. The new station at Sandusky is a good sample of the newer stations along the Baltimore &: Ohio for cities of smaller size. This station is in the nature of a terminal, being at the end of the division. It is reached by a spacious walkway running through from Market to Washington Street in front of the station. There is also a spacious driveway from both streets leading up to and around the rear of the station. Between the walk and dri\ eway are located grass plats and flower beds. The exterior walls of the station are of gray pressed brick with stone trimmings and stone base. The roof is designed with a large overhang for protection of the passen- gers against the weather, and is covered with red tiles which, combined with the gray brick and stone, give a pleasing color effect. The center pavilion is a large general waiting room with entrance doors from the driveway on the rear and from the platform in front. Around this are grouped the ticket office, women's retiring room and toilet, and smoking room, with toilet; the baggage room being located on one end. The rooms are all finished throughout with oak, the general waiting room having a paneled wainscot 3 ft. 6 in. high. The building is heated throughout by steam heat, the entire layout being arranged with a view to the comfort and welfare of the public. The new station at Cambridge, O. , is like the one at Sandusky, only in that the same materials of construction are used with the same general color scheme, light gray brick walls, limestone trimmings and red tile roof, with broad overhanging eaves. This station 'Cambridge) has been planned as a through station, to be used jointly by the Baltimore ,Sc Ohio and the C. & M. Ry., and is located in the angle of the tracks. Two large waiting rooms have been provid- ed, one for men and one for women, and the ticket office and toilet rooms for each are located between. Large doors open from each waiting room to the tracks on opposite sides to afford easy access to all trains. The baggage-room is at one end of the building where it is convenient to both tracks. The entire space surrounding the building and filling the angle of the tracks is pa\ed, and flower beds have been provided where the space admits in order to further add to the attractiveness of the building. Both Sandusky and Cambridge stations were planned and designed and erected under the direct supervision of the Com- pany's architect, Mr. M. A. Long. BALTIMORE 4 OHIO'S NEW STATION AT SANDUSKY. OHIO Sandusky, Ohio By JAMES A. RYAN fO spot in this section of the countn,' is richer in historical associations than the region surrounding Sandusky. The early history of the city is so closely linked with the Baltimore & Ohio Railway, which was built out of Sandusky in the early thirties of the century just passed, that the erection of the new passenger station was a fitting monu- ment in commemoration of the sixtieth anni- versary of the opening of the road south to Newark. The Lake Erie division of the Baltimore & Ohio was the second railway constructed in the state. The line was built from Sandusky to Monroeville in 1838 and opened to Newark in 1847. The new Sandusky passenger station occupies a site a short distance from the first depot erected by the company. It is in keeping with the many other new stations that have been built by the Baltimore iS: Ohio along the line of its extensive system from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. The company's first depot stood just north of Market street. It served the company for almost half a century, when it was removed to make room for the great increase in business necessitating larger termi- nal facilities at this point. The second sta- tion was located at the corner of Market street, overlooking beautiful Sandusky bay and the mammoth coal, ore, lumber and grain docks of the company. The new and handsome station just opened to the public is reached from the business portion of the city by two of the main streets of the city. It is constructed of light and dark gray brick. The material used below the belt course and quoins is of light gray, while the balance of the e.xterior is of dark gray. The belt course and other trimmings are of Bedford lime- stone. The roof is of red tile and the entire interior furnishings are in quarter- sawed oak, with hard oil finish. The floor is of edge grainling leaf pine and marble wainscoting is used throughout in each room. The heating and ventilating system is of the best design and in completeness of convenience and arrangement for the com- fort of the patrons of the road the new station is a model in architecture and con- struction. From floor to eaves the building is 17 feet high, 76 feet long and 28,^2 feet wide. The general waiting room is 28'-' feet wide and .H'j feet long. Connecting with the general waiting room is a woman's waiting room l.i by 21, '4 feet. The smok- ing room is 9^4 by 13/2 feet and the bag- gage room 11,^4 by 24 feet. The ticket agent's office, in the north end of the gen- eral waiting room is 10 '2 by 14 feet. The 16 SJNDUSKV. OHIO. building occupies a site mid-way between two of the prominent thoroughfares of the city. The approaches from the streets are wide and inviting. The carriage drive is spacious and with the grass plats and flower beds that surround the building and walks completes an improvement that is a credit to the company and one of the attractive public buildings of the picturesque bay city. The old stations have seen Sandusky grow from a city of small proportions and it is a safe prediction to make that the new pas- senger depot will shortly see an impetus in the industrial conditions of Sandusky that will far eclipse all former years. No city in the country is more advantageously situated for the location of manufacturing establishments than Sandusky. The excel- lent railway facilities afforded by the Balti- more i5c Ohio, reaching out to all parts of the country, touching the industrial points of the most prosperous section of the countrv', with its large ore and coal docks and mam- moth warehouses, its miles of tracks in the Sandusky yards, offers capital seeking loca- tion a site equalled by few and surpassed by no other city along the chain of the great lakes. Admirably designed by nature as the site of a city, with its great bay admitting to wharf- age the largest lake steamers, the future of the city is indeed encouraging to those who have watched carefully its sound and pro- gressive growth during the past several years. The Baltimore 6: Ohio Railway has the record of shipping in a single season of navigation more coal over its Sandusky dock than any other dock on the lake, its total shipment for one season being one million tons. While the amount of tonnage hand- led has steadily increased with each succeed- ing year the passenger business has kept pace with the freight department. Sandusky is the gate-way to Cedar Point, with its famous bathing^beach and modern hotels, to the Lake Erie archipelago with its numer- ous vine-clad islands set like emerald gems amid the sun-kissed waves of old Erie, famous as the union prison during the civil war Johnson's Island, opposite Sandusky, is a popular outing place for the excursion- ist and camper, while Put-in-Bay, Middle Bass, Kelley's Island, Lakeside, Ballast Island and other well known Lake Erie resorts are attractive places of interest to the seeker of health, recreation and amuse- ment. Eamous Cedar Point, the one spot on the continent marked by such a diversity of conditions that the individual wants and requirements of everybody are satisfied, is easily accessible from the city. The Balti- more & Ohio Railway passenger trains run directly to the Cedar Point steamboat land- ing, from which steamers depart every twenty minutes for the resort. No other place compares with this beautiful Lake Erie resort in popularity, pleasure, comfort and health gi\ ing qualities. Occupying, as it does, a semi-circular peninsula, some nine miles in length and less than a mile in width, it faces to the east, so that the pre- vailing southwest breeze of summer time insures it an equable clime, balmy and mild. It is complete in hotels, cottages and varied amusements. People come to Cedar Point from all parts of the country and over one million passengers were carried by the steamers plying between the city and the resort during the season of 1907. During the summer season the Baltimore & Ohio Railway daily carries into Sandusky, from points all along its line, thousands of people on their way to the charming near-by resorts where they while away the hours amid delightful scenes. n M.i I \iiii:i 1 I \ I lll\ \ I CWIIilMh' Cambridge, Ohio Bv FRED L. ROSEMOND HE city of Cambridge is a thriving, prosperous, busy town of about 15,000 peo- ple, located almost cen- tralh' in the field from which the celebrated Cam- bridge coal is produced, fifty miles north of the Ohio River at Marietta, and a like distance west of the same stream at Bellaire, where the historic bridge of the Baltimore ik Ohio crosses the Ohio. The surrounding country is hilly and picturesque. The old National Road constitutes the main street. The last tunnel on the Central Ohio Division of the Balti- more iy Ohio, as one goes west, is just outside the corporate limits of Cambridge. Guernsey County, of which Cambridge is the county seat, is named after the far Isle of Guernsey, from which many of the early settlers came more than a hundred years ago. Various family names of evident French derivation may yet be recognized. The town itself is named after Cambridge, Mary- land, from which some of the original proprietors came; and Wills Creek, which passes through the county from south to north, in a slow and devious course, derives its name from the stream of the same name in that state. Pine schools, miles of paved streets, sewers and city water works are among the town's advantages. Until 1885 Cambridge was no more than a prosperous rural county town. The soil generally in the vicinity is not the best, and this combined, perhaps, with the conserva- tism of the French pioneers to delay development and progress. About that time natural gas, obtained near at hand by a company composed chiefly of residents of the city of Baltimore, was piped into Cam- bridge and put into general use for light and fuel. The mining of the soft coal in this region, partly by drifts and partly by shafts, took on more vigor. The abundance of both sorts of fuel led to the building of a rolling mill, now owned by the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company, and from this industry as a beginning the present manufacturing prosperity of the place may be dated. Later on, the Morton Tin Plate Co. . named after Isaac Morton, who was one of the local pioneers and also a builder of the Central Ohio Division, was organ- ized with local capital, and a tin plate works was erected. It, too, is now owned by the American Sheet and Tin Plate Co. The Cambridge Glass Co. followed with a great 18 VALUABLE RELICS SATED FROM DESTRUCTION. factory manufacturintr flint glassware, said to have no superior and few equals for design and efficiency in the country. In addition to these large concerns the Inter- state Iron and Steel Co. , of Chicago, owns and operates a bar mill, and the plants of the Cambridge Art Pottery Co. and of the Cambridge Roofing Co. and several smaller manufactories add diversity to the city's industries. These various works employ an aggregate of 2,000 persons or more. Among the numerous coal operators are the Morris Coal Co., of Cleveland; the O'Gara Coal Co., of Chicago; the Cam- bridge Collieries Co. (succeeding the Wills Creek Coal Co.), known as among the largest coal companies in the country; and, in the aggregate, in the region directly tribu- tary' to Cambridge many thousand miners are employed, whose total yearly wages run into millions of dollars. The foundations of business prosperity in this little city have been securely laid. It has been fortunate in its chief industries mentioned, which have a history remarkably free from interruptions and suspensions. In neither the panic of 189.-! nor that of 1907 did the banks of Cambridge suspend or restrict payments of currency. The mer- cantile business of the place has steadily and progressively grown with the town's manufacturing development, and the Mer- chants' Association has for several years united the principal merchants of the city in various movements for betterment and expansion. Yet the town has never known, and probably does not want to know, a boom.'' I^ooking to the future the Cambridge Improvement Company, a popular incor- porated organization, has acquired the title to a tract of land containing about sixty acres, within a mile of the court house and having direct track connections with both the railroad systems entering the city, to be devoted to site donations to worthy indus- tries which desire to locate at Cambridge. A somewhat curious contrast is suggested by the fact that what is thus intended to be used for twentieth century factory sites has been noted in the past for its abundance of relics in flint and stone of the aborigines who formerly frequented the region. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has re- cently finished an attractive modern station of gray pressed brick with stone trimmings and red tile roof in appreciation of the advancement of the citv- Valuable Relics Saved from Destruction C()LLI-:CTION of valu- able old relics belonging to the Baltimore odge room saved much property that could not be replaced, including the above collection. The Baltimore & Ohio relics were loaned to the Masonic Order May 10, 1898, at request of the Grand Lodge of Maryland, and as the corner-stone was laid with great masonic ceremonies, these relics appeal to every student of history in the order. An oak case contains a shovel, an ax, trowel and tin cup. 1 he glass top bears the in- scription, "On the 4th of July, 1828, these implements were used by Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, in laying the corner-.stone of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- road, the first railroad company organized in the L'nited States, April 24, 1827, and the first passenger railroad in the world." Three silk badges and a masonic apron that were worn on that occasion are also among the collection. The apron was worn by Thomas Young Nichol, then a bricklayer. \xStuhEnds opThou£ht^ I ^ARTHUR G.LEWIS.

A consciousness of love and affection makes plain the path where duty treads. It is only the weak that make vows; strength offers its illustration through effort. Good grows rapidly upon the fertile soil of evil, and out of wrong is often born the offspring of right. Where is the line of reason drawn between the age of discretion and the hour of decay? We ne\er know who our real friends are until the lies of our enemies are denied by them. It is more blessed to render an idea than to receive a suggestion. Real worth requires no endorsement as it is only genuine when known to be so. To observe, without question, instruc- tions we believe to be wrong is rank in- subordination and deliberate disloyalty. Envy is the weapon that ignorance directs against intelligence and success. Earnest friendship and perfect com- patibility of temperament are two of the three essential requisites that constitute perfect love.

The hotel and cottigres are provided with gas. electrieity and water from their own systems. The popularity of Deer Park is due to its desirable altitude, 'i.noo feet above the sea level, out of reach of malaria and mosquitoes; and its magnificent parking^ of 5(10 acres of forest and lawn, and miles of per- fectly kept roadways, afibrd most delightful surroundings. It is thoroughly modern as to improvements and equipment, with Bowling Alleys. Billiard Rooms. Tennis Courts. Golf Links, Swimming Pools. Livery, etc.. and the delightful rooms and excellent cuisine are not surpassed. No mountain resort equals it for accessibility — only eleven hours ride from Cincinnati or New York: nine and one-half hours from Phdadelphia: seven hours from Baltimore; six hours from Wash- ington; seven hours from Pittsburg: ten hours from Columbus; twenty- one hours from St. Louis, and nineteen hours from Chicago, via the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Deer Park guests can take through sleeping cars from any of these cities and alight at the hotel without change of cars. The Dining Car service is excellent.

National Sculptors' Exhibition at Baltimore I HE most niatrniticent ex- hibit of sculpture ever shown in America will be (jiven in Baltimore at the Fifth Regiment Armory for a period of three weeks, from April .^ to April 25, the exhibition to be entirely the handiwork of American sculptors. Pair at St. Louis. It is claimed these exhi- bitions of the National Sculptors' Society have demonstrated that the sculptors of this country are doing equal or finer work than the French artists. This is particularly noticeable, not only in small bronzes and portraits, but in the large groups and equestrians which have commanded the world's attention. the I'lTOHER. By P,Tiiii K\ A. A. \Veiiim.Hii. Sculjjtnr. Superiority of American sculpture was recognized for the first time at the Paris Exhibition, and the claim to such was enhanced by the splendid exhibits at the World's Fair, Chicago; the Pan-American Exhibition at Buffalo; and the World's Until several years ago, all small bronzes for house decoration came from France and were of an inferior quality; the American artists are now producing a far better bronze than that from France, which the forth- coming exhibition will demonstrate to a NATIONAL SCULPTORS' EXHIBITION AT BALTIMORE. strikiny: degree. About three hundred of the finest of these will be shown. 'T'he marble portraits by American artists found throughout America's handsome homes, are equally superior, and many such will be exhibited together with three or four exquisite equestrian statues. It is the endeavor to give these general exhibitions triennially, the preceding ones having been held in New York. In this particular case the artistic temperament of Baltimore prevailed in asking for the exhi- bition, as there was a tendency not to con- fine the interest in sculpture to New ^'ork City alone. The great floor of the Armory building, with an area of 60,000 square feet, will present the appearance of an artistic flower garden ; immense flower beds will be laid out from one end of the building to the other, according to formulated plans, and throughout the gardens the works in marble, plaster and bronze will be placed. Alcoves will be arranged around the walls, each con- taining some work. The intention is to make the exhibit more beautiful and impres- sive than any heretofore. In the acceptance of Baltimore as the place of exhibit, it was also desired to select a favorable place as near the nation's capital as possible, and the nearness of the Monu- mental City to the capital, with excellent and frequent forty-five minute train service, was a great advantage. The patrons of the exhibition include the British, French and Japanese ambassadors, Secretary of State, the presidents of Johns Hopkins, Columbia, California, Pennsyl- vania, Harvard, Cornell, Bryn Mawr, Virginia and Princeton Universities; the mayors of all the large eastern cities, with a long list of those names so well known throughout the country connected in some way with the art interests of America. The prominent sculptors and architects, together with Baltimore's most influential citizens, have organized a Sculptors' Exhibi- tion Society to take charge of the exhibition and guarantee the most artistic success imagi- nable, to attract the interest of all lovers of art througout the country at the most season- able time of year. The National Sculpture Society was evolved from a little group of artists united for the love of the profession, and the society has grown in power and influence until today it nimibers eighty-nine professional members and one hundred and rifty lay members to give it encouragement and aid. There have been given five great exhibitions of sculpture culminating in the imposing show at Madi- son Square Garden. The famous "Dewey Arch" will ever stand in recollection a moniunent to the self-forgetting efforts of the united brotherhood. Our architects have done much to bring about a recognition of American merit, and, realizing the value of good sculpture upon their massive piles, their tastes and enthusi- asm have greatly aided the progress of art in the United States. In such buildings as the Congressional Library in Washington; the Appellate Court, the new Custom House and the St. Bartholomew's Church in New York; and the Brooklyn Institute, now in progress of decoration, are something to point to; here are visible the lasting remind- ers of the skill of our American sculptors. America, or more explicitly the United States of America, is considered only a commercial nation in the eyes of Europe, and if perchance the foregoing claims are observed by those ancient nations which have furnished the world's art for centuries, they will, to use some of our most effective slang, sit up and take notice. It is indeed significant to note, however, that one hundred years ago America had not one single trained sculptor. Horatio Greenough (1805-1852) was America's first professional sculptor and the first to study abroad. Other pioneers were Hiram Powers, Thomas Crawford, Thomas Ball, Henry Kirke Brown, Randolph Rogers, William Witmore Storv, Harriet Hosmer and ^V. H. Rhinehart. Erastus D. Palmer of Albany, and John Rogers were of more distinctly native inspir- ation; the former creating works of no little idea! beauty; the latter celebrating patriotism and the homelier virtues in naive, realistic statuettes. J. Q. A. Ward is the dean of practising sculptors of America, with a record as hon- orable as it is long, culminating in his statue of "Henry Ward Beecher" of Brooklyn. Augustus St. Cjaudens, whose death occurred last year, made his debut in 1880 with the well-known "Admiral Farragut"' of Madi- son Square, New York. This creation was followed by his Abraham Lincoln" in Chicago, the "Shaw Memorial" in Bos- ton, the "Adams Memorial" at W^ashing- LOCOMOTirE TALK. ton and the recent equestrian "Sherman'" in New York City. D. C. French has to his credit "Death and the Young Sculptor" and the ()'Reiil\' Memorial in Boston, "Alma Mater" at Columbia Uni\ersity and the great groups of The Continents,'' decorating the new Custom House, New York. Frederick MacMonnies' name is inter- nationally famed through his Stranahan," Nathan Hale,'' "Shakespeare," "Bac- chante," Columbian Fountain" and many other notable works. Paul Bartlett's "Columbus" and Michael Angelo," at the Congressional Library, Washington, are familiar to many thousands in America, and his equestrian "Lafayette" in the Court of the Tuiileries in Paris to the throngs of visitors to France. George Gray Barnard has furnished large groups for the new State House of Penn- sylvania.

" Richmond on the James From the Tourist's Monthly Magazine ICHMOND ON THE JAMKS' ' is one of the most historically interest- ing cities in the United States. The great natural beauty of this city on her seven hills" ' excites sur- prise; hills and dales, and the beautiful falls of the James are objects that please the eye, and travelers are loud in their praises of the beauty of this lovely city of the South. Nature has done much to beautify Rich- mond, but it is not the beauty of the city alone that calls for the admiration of all who come within her borders, but the fact that her early history is so fraught with stir- ring scenes of frontier life and romantic incidents that their recital must form a pleasing link between the old era of the seventeenth century and the new era which began with the Civil War nearly one hun- dred years later. The site of the City of Richmond is upon the very spot occupied not only by the most famous Indian tribes known to histor)' (under the mighty Powhatan, father of Pocahontas), but the hrst English settlers, who, after depositing their goods and fam- ilies at Jamestown, continued their journey up the James River to Richmond, where the falls of the river made it impossible for them to proceed farther. Tradition tells us that the mighty Powhatan had his camping ground very near the city, and his tomb is pointed out to visitors, just below the city on what is known as the Mayo home. Here also the British soldiers marched when Arnold and Tarleton invaded Rich- mond in the last vear of the Revolutionary War. The Capitol Square" was also the place from which many of the Confederate sol- diers of the late war were mustered into service — under Lee and Jackson. The site upon which Richmond is built was discovered by Newport and Capt. John Smith in 1607. Colonel William Byrd founded Richmond in 1737, and it was incorporated as a town in 1742. In 1779 the capitol, which had been until then in Williamsburg, was mo\ed to Richmond. The foundation of the present Capitol Building was laid in 1785, and completed in 1792, the model from which it was built being one made in France for Thomas Jefferson, which is now carefully preserved in the State Library, where it is an object of much interest to the crowds of visitors. Richmond is a rapidly growing city, and it is hard to realize that in 1865 it was almost entirely destroyed by fire during the evacuation, when the Federal troops were entering the city. A great many fine views are to be had from the hills about the city, and from the top of the Capitol Build- ing and the tower of the City Hall the course of the James River can be traced for miles as it flows on to join the water of Chesapeake Bay. 0\er the roads leading into the city from every direction marched the weary soldiers of both armies during the Civil War, and near the river just below Gallego Mills stood Libby Prison (which was moved to Chicago during the World's Fair), its site now occupied by an ice plant. Around the city, almost within its cor- porate limits, are still to be seen breast- works thrown up by the armies camping around the city as a defense. Quantities of bullets, balls and buckles ha\e been dug from these embankments. \\'ithin a short distance of the city were fought the battles of Yellow Tavern, Cold Harbor, Seven Pines, Strawberry Hill, Malvern Hill, Mechanicsville, Ciaines' Mill and Savage Station. The history of the Seven Days' Fight around Richmond is indeed "written in blood." ^\ hile Richmond is interesting and important architecturally, it is as a "monu- mental city" that she is most attractive. The first in importance is naturally the gigantic equestrian statue of Washington in Capitol Square. The corner-stone of this monument was laid in 185U, February' 15th. It was dedicated February 11, 1858. The monument is sixty feet in height and was built at a cost of S260,000. A narrow spiral stairway ascends within the monu- ment, opening directly beneath the horse on which Washington is seated. A beautiful statue of \\'ashington — made from life by the French artist Houdon — is to be seen in the rotunda of the Capitol. RICHMOND ON THE JAMES. The Stonewall Jackson nioniinient, directly opposite the City Hall, in the Cap- itol grounds, is a fine work of art in bronze. It was the gift of Knglish admirers, and was the work of the sculptor Poley. The statue was dedicated October 26, 1875. Henry Clay's monument, also in Capitol Square, is a beautiful statue by Hart, and was dedicated in 1 860. The Robert E. Lee monument, situated in what is known as "Lee District," in the western part of the city, is the work of Mercie, a French sculptor, and is a fine work of art. The Howitzer statue, in bronze, was designed by W. I>. Sheppard, a Richmond artist. A tine statue of General \\ ickham is to be seen in Monroe Park. It was designed by E. \ . N'alentine, of Richmond. The statue of General A. P. Hill is on the drive from the Boulevard to the Brook road. The monument to the Confedrate dead, in Hollywood Cemetery, is built of \'irginia granite, and is an imposing pile. The Soldiers" and Sailors' nn)nument, in Libby Hill Park, was designed by W. L. Sheppard, of Richmond, and is a tribute to the private soldiers and sailors of the Con- federacy. The view from Libby Hill is one of the finest to be had in the city, and crowds during the summer season take adxantage of the pleasant seats furnished in the park. The X'irginia State Library contains some of the most interesting books on ancient history to be found in the United States, and are of untold value. Some of these works are not to be found in any other known collection. Among other valuable articles is the first Virginia newspaper that published the Declaration of Independence, and contains the Declaration in full, and is dated July 26, 1776. In a large show- case in the Library Building are, among other things, the following interesting relics: The model of the Capitol made for Thomas Jefferson while he was a minister to France in 1785; the Hag of the Confederacy used on the State House during the Civil War; sword cane belonging to Patrick Henry; horn drinking cup of Lord Cornwallis, taken at "^'orktown 1781; revolutionary Hag; pike of John Brown, taken at Harper's Ferry in 1859 by Colonel R. E. Lee; Peter Francisco's sword. The chair and desk of Patrick Henry are also in the librar\ . Fhe fine Richmond City Hall is directly opposite the Capitol Square, and is a most imposing and beautiful structure. It is built of Richmond granite, five stories in height, surmounted by a tower 180 feet high, and cost SI, 500,000. The White House of the Confeder- acy " is also near, at the corner of Twelfth and Clay streets, and was the home of President Davis during his official life in Richmond. It is now used as a Confeder- ate Museum. Washington's Headquarters," on Twentieth and Main streets, is the oldest building in the cit>', and is said to have been used by George Washington.

A N T I C C I T ^• rejoices in the reception of its visitors every month in the year, but never does it smile a brighter welcome than during the Easter season. Although crowds are ilocking to the seaside metrop- olis all during the Lenten period, Easter Sunday marks the opening of the spring season, and each year thousands avail them- selves of the opportunity to enjoy the great boardwalk, the exhilarating breezes, the beautiful expanse of ocean, as well as the social life at the numerous hotels and places of amusement. The ocean loses the steely hue with which the dull wintry days have colored its troubled surface, and glows like some great emerald beneath the bright rays of the early spring sun. The proximity to the Gulf Stream, coming from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico northerly along the Jersey coast, gives Atlantic Gity a milder climate than inland cities of the same latitude. It has been but a little over a decade since this island city was known only as a summer resort, and with the approach of autumn hotels and boarding houses closed their doors not to resume operation until the golden rays of the sun gave fair indica- tions that summer was nigh; and during the chilly months the population dwindled down until the hotel caretakers and the fishermen formed the majority of its inhabitants. Being within a few hours ride of all the principal cities of the East and easily acces- sible to those of greater distance, demands were made for winter accommodations, and conditions have now reached the point where hotel proprietors need no longer reckon upon the profits of one season to carry them o\ er to the next. The Easter scene at Atlantic City is far different from that presented during the months of July and August, when thousands may be seen taking a plunge in the surf or building pyramids of the sand. Men and women whose names are linked with the financial and social circles of our great- est cities gather here to laugh and chat, while inhaling the in\igorating breezes direct from the briny ocean. The bathing suit is replaced by the street costume of the latest design, and despite the sobriety of Eastertide, the styles for the coming season are those most prominent; for this is a social e\ent and everyone is seeking a whiff of the early spring. At this time the boardwalk is sub- stituted for the beach, and stretching from the Inlet southward for a distance of nearly se\en miles, forms the footpath for the constantly moving panorama of humanity in search of health and recreation, with the desire to see and be seen. Eor the in\alid and those who do not wish to exert themselves comfortable rolling chairs are at their command, and for a nominal sum can be wheeled along apace with the throng. THE EASTER PARADE AT ATLANTIC CITY. There is no lack of amusement. From daylight, when healthseekers are eagerly inhaling the early morning salt air and watch- ing the sun rise over the ocean, until midnight, when the theatre parties, dances and concerts are over, the immense steel piers are open all the year and offer enjoy- ment of almost e\ery \ariety, from the bowling alley to the concert hall. The numerous souvenir shops and auction stores are always well patronized, especially by the fairer sex, and the assortment of novelties and quaint' antiques is a revelation to a haven of rest may be found in one of the comfortable chairs where the esplanade and ocean are within close range. While surf bathing is of course out of the question at this season, all modern hotels are equipped with both fresh and salt water baths, and a plunge in the sea water, at any temperature desired, is a luxury of the day. The journey to Atlantic City from points even as far west as the Mississippi River may be made one of enjoyment throughout if a little care is taken in arranging the itinerary.

For those fond of out-of-door diversions, fishing, automobiling and golfing appeal, while the fleet of yachts, as they glide over the waves with their white sails glistening in the sun, extend a most cordial welcome to the \isitor. The hotel accommodations are unsur- passed and resemble in style and appoint- ments the hostelries of our largest cities. The spacious sunparlors with unobstructed views of the ocean are features of many of the hotels; and when tired of promenading, Railroad between the East and West run through Washington, where ten days stop- over is permitted in each direction. At this point passengers are landed in the new Union Station, which forms the gateway for all railroads entering the city. The ter- minal, now practically completed, was built at an expense of over eighteen million dollars, which has been assumed by the various rail- roads and the United States Government. The National Capital has many attrac- tions at this time of the year. Congress is in session and one can be entertained for hours listening to the orations of those who ON A RAILWAY PLATFORM. 9 have been selected to frame the laws of the country. The National Library, which is especially beautiful at night, is conceded to be the most magnificent structure of its kind. And while the Library is principally inten- ded for the use of members of Congress, any visitor can obtain books to be read while there. Other places of equal interest to every true American are the White House, Cor- coran Art Gallery, National Monument, Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum. A few hours can also be well spent in making the trip to Mount Vernon, by either trolley or boat, where many price- less relics of the father of his country are to be found. Additional stop-overs may be made at Baltimore and Philadelphia, where many places of interest are within close range. From almost any point on the great rail- way system Atlantic City can be reached within twenty-four hours, if one is desirous of a through trip. By taking an evening train, the commodious drauing-room sleep- ers are so comfortable that at the break of dawn you are hundreds of miles from the point of last recollection; and then the day passes most enjoyably while lounging in an easy chair of the Pullman parlor car, viewing the numerous points of scenic and historic interest for which this railroad is world renowned, until the first whiff of salt air is caught as the train speeds along at a terrific gait to ensure your arrival at destination in time for the evening meal.

Round me the wet, black night. And, afar in the limitless gloom, Crimson and green, two blossoms of light. Two stars of doom. But the night of death is aflare W'ith a touch of black-brown fire. And the coal-black deeps of the quivering air Rend for my soul's desire. Leap, heart, for the pulse and the roar And the lights of the streaming train That leaps with the heart of thy love once more Out of the mist and the rain. For the thousand panes of light And the faces veiled in mist. Streaming out of the desolate night In ruby and amethyst. Out of the desolate years That thundering pageant Hows; But I see no more than a window of tears \Vhich her face has turned to a rose. Landmarks of Methodism And the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Baltimore, Md., May, 190S By CLARENCE HENRY FORREST ilALTIMORE will be the Lt scene of a notable assem- '^ blage this year. The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church will meet in The Lyric, May 6. During the ensuinu; days it is estimated that a throng of at least thirty thousand persons will come to the city as \isitors to this great gathering, or in company with the members of the Conference. The regularly elected dele- gates entitled to participate in the proceed- ings number eight hundred. These come from all parts of the world. There were on December 31, 1907, one hundred and thirty-one Annual Conferences, each of which is entitled to select delegates FIRST PITLPIT OF .METHODISM IN .\.\IERIC.\. to the General Conference. The delega- tions vary from two to sixteen in number. One hundred and twelve Annual Confer- ences are within the United States, of which ninety-six are English speaking, ten are German, four Swedish and two Norwegian- Danish. There are nineteen Foreign Conferences distributed as follows: India, six; China, three; South America, two; Germany, two; Switzerland, one; Sweden, one; Nor- way, one; Italy, one; Mexico, one; Africa, one. In emphasis of the wide influence of Methodism, it may be stated that the busi- ness of ninety-seven Annual Conferences is carried on in the English tongue, thirteen use the German language, ti\e the Swedish, three the Norwegian, three the Chinese, three the Spanish, one the Italian and six the se\eral vernaculars of India. In addi- tion to the one hundred and thirty-one Annual Conferences enumerated, there are twelve Mission Conferences and sixteen Missions which ha\e no official representa- tion in the General Conference. The number of communicants in the Methodist Episcopal Church given in the Methodist Year Book for 1908 is 3,234,- 524, of which 2,240,354 are in the United States, so that including the children who are brought under the influence of this great religious organization, it is reasonable to state that it represents 10,000,000 individ- uals. The number of Sunday School scholars is given as 3,007,677. But these statistics, great numerically as they may be, do not measure the full tribute to that re- ligious system which is called Methodism that it deserves, for out of its early begin- nings have grown other distinctive religious organizations which now number many millions of persons, and which essentially adhere to the same faith, but which are not affiliated with the General Conference, which meets in Baltimore in May. In the United States there are seventeen bodies of Methodists which number 6,551, - 891 communicant members, giving this denomination second rank in this country. 12 LANDMARKS OF METHODISM. But to go a step further, the Methodist Episcopal Church alone with its 2,24U,.^54 members is only exceeded by the Roman Catholic Church, and is closely followed by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, ranking Hfth with 1,209,976 members. Statistical prefaces make dull reading, usually, but the significance of piling up figures in this stor\' is to show what a mighty oak has from a little acorn grown, and to dwell upon the historic fact that the acorn was in a sense planted in and near Balti- more. The coming together of this poten- tial religious body in Baltimore this year has, consequently, a peculiar and an interesting phase, and it is our purpose briefly to recount the chain of events centering in this city which make it a Mecca for Methodists, if we may transport a word from an alien faith to express our meaning. Ihe world recognizes that the religious movement which grew out of the life works of John Wesley in England in the eighteenth century is too momentous and far-reaching to be limited to any one place or people, and from the \ery nature of its organization and purpose must continue to grow, increase and spread. In this process of evolution it transpired that highly interesting events took place in Maryland, beginning with the preaching of Robert Strawbridge, who emigrated from Ireland about 1760, settled on Sam's Creek, Frederick (now Carroll) county, and im- mediately thereafter began to conduct re- ligious worship according to the precepts of Methodism. Strawbridge formed a Meth- odist society and soon built in the \icinity of his home a "Log Meeting House," which has become famous in the annals of Methodism as the first, or one of the first two buildings that may be reasonably con- sidered as .Methodist churches in America. The claim to priority has been a subject of discussion between advocates of this struc- ture and those of the church also famous in Methodist histor>', known as the John Street Church in New York, which was constructed about the same period. The Log Meeting House was twenty- four feet by twent>'-four feet three inches. The building was torn down in later years, and as a place of worship it was succeeded by a structure which has become widely known as the 'Stone Chapel," which was erected on Pipe Creek in 178J, a short distance from the site of the first meeting house. The Stone Chapel was rebuilt in FIRST .METHODIST CHURCH. BALTIMORE. Direct Descendant of the Firftt Methodist Churoh in America. 1800 and continues until the present time. An interesting relic of the Log .Meeting House may be sten in the Strawbridge Methodist Episcopal Church, Park avenue and Wilson street, Baltimore, the pulpit being made from wood obtained from the old logs. The scene of these early labors of Straw- bridge and these monuments of the early Methodists is a few miles southwest of Westminster, Carroll county, Md., which city is twenty-eight miles northwest of Bal- timore. The homes of many of the earliest Methodists in America are in that region. Strawbridge resided sixteen years at his dwelling on Sam's Creek. He then re- moved to Long Green, Baltimore county, which is nearer Baltimore city, and located on a farm given him during his life by Capt. Charles Ridgely. This home is in the immediate \ icinity of Hampton," the noted colonial house of the Ridgely family. In 1781, while at the home of Mr. John Wheeler, Strawbridge died, and Richard Owings, one of his first converts, preached his funeral sermon under an immense wal- nut tree in the yard of the dwelling. His body was interred in the orchard on this place, which is about eight miles north of Baltimore, but in later years was removed to Mt. 01i\et Cemetery, on the Frederick road, north of this cit>'. There a handsome monument marks the final resting place of this pioneer in Amerjcan Methodism. LANDMARKS OF METHODISM. V?, NEW COnUT HOUSK, BALTIMORE. The naming of Mt. Olivet Cemetery leads us at once to the recital of the names of other notable characters whose bodies are side by side in this spot. Looming high above the many names that shine out in the annals of early Methodism, stands that of Francis Asbury, the real organizer and founder of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America, if this distinction can be attributed to any one man. Sunday, Maxch ,U, 1816, this truly heroic and lofty character died at Fredericksburg, Va., after forty-five years spent in the work of advanc- ing Methodism in this country. He was buried by those who were with him, in the family burying ground of George Arnold. Five weeks later the General Conference met in Baltimore, and on the first day an address was presented from the male mem- bers of the church in this city, asking the privilege of removing the remains of Bishop Asbury from the place where they had been buried to Baltimore. Their request was granted, and Rev. John Wesley Bond, a Marylander, who had been Asbury' s travel- ing companion and was with him at the time of his death, was desired to superintend the removal. On May 9, 1816, the body arrived, and the next day the members of the General Conference attended the funeral services, at which it was estimated that twenty-five thousand people were assembled to pay honor to the distinguished dead. These ser- vices were held in the Light Street Church, a place hallowed by many sacred memories. The body was removed to Kutaw Street Church, on Eutaw street near Mulberry Street, where it was placed in a vault. In June, 1854, the remains were disinterred and finally deposited in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. The bodies of Bishops Beverly W'augh, _^ Enoch George and John 5^'©?? Emory of the Methodist Epis- "Sjt^ copal church are buried be- side the great Bishop, and a tall shaft, known as the "Bishops" Monument" has been erected and suitably in- scribed to these four great leaders. Jesse Lee, a distin- guished preacher and historian of the early period of Metho- dism, and many other faithful workers are also buried in this part of Mt. 01i\et Cem- etery. A total of one hundred and fifty Methodist ministers are buried in the preach- ers' lot at Mt. Olivet, and in recognition of this great assemblage of the dead, the Methodist Episcopal Church adjoining the cemeter>' is named "Memorial Church." In passing, it is interesting to note that the Eutaw Street Church in which Bishop Asbury' s body rested for many years, will celebrate the centennial anniversary of its dedication in May while the General Con- ference is assembled in this city. Bishop Asbury officiated at the dedication in 1808, the church at that time being merely the back part of the structure as it appears to- day, the broad front section having been added in later years. The celebration of the centennial will be one of the most in- teresting events of the assemblage in May. Going further back into the archives of Methodism, we come to the Light Street Church, from which the funeral of Bishop Asbury took place. This building has passed from existence, but there is no build- ing identified with the early history of Methodism that truly deser\es a more honored niche in the memories of the past. This foundation not only became, as it were, the mother church of Baltimore, but a great central rallying point for many years, where history was made and which played an important part in the development of Methodism throughout the country. We may preface the story of the Light Street Church with a brief reference to the very beginning of Methodism in Baltimore. The first Methodist sermon preached in Baltimore was by John King, an English 14 LANDMARKS OF METHODISM. local preacher who landed at Philadelphia in 1 7b9. Historj- says it was not long before he fell in with Strawbridge, and for some time the two men traveled together. His pulpit on his first advent at Baltimore was a blacksmith's block in front of a shop that stood on what is now Front street, near French (now Bath) street. His next ser- mon was from a table at the junction of Baltimore and Calvert streets. It was upon a militia training day and King was roughly handled h\ the crowd, his table being upset. The commander of the troops, however, restored order and allowed him to proceed. Subsequently he was invited to preach in the old St. Paul's English (now Protestant Episcopal ) Church on Charles street. \\'hen Francis Asbury came to America in 1771, there were ten Methodist preachers and bUO members. At the first Methodist Conference which assembled in St. George's Church, Philadelphia, July 14, 1773, and which consisted of ten preachers, Asbury was appointed to the Baltimore Circuit, which embraced all the societies in Mary- land and included nearly one-half of all the Methodists in the country. It became necessary to house the Baltimore society, and a sail loft, at the corner of Mills and Block streets, was generously allowed the members free of charge. It was soon filled to overflowing, and the progress of the work was so rapid that it was determined to build two new houses of worship about one and a half miles apart. The first of these to be commenced, though the last to be finished, was the church in Strawberry alley. It was begun in No\ - ember, 177.^, under the oversight of Asbury. It was a large, low, brick building, with an old-fashioned tub pulpit, and a sounding board abo\e it. The building was about 40 by 60 feet. I he ceilings were low and plain. The only ornament was a wide half-circle of blue painted on the wall behind the pulpit, on which, in letters of gold, appeared the words, "Thou God Seest A/e." The name of the alley was changed to Dallas street, and for some years the church was known as the Dallas Street Methodist Episcopal Church, being in the possession of a colored congre- gation. The structure was sub- sequently used as a society hall for lodges and councils. The colored congregation that wor- shiped there now occupies Centennial Meth- odist Episcopal Church, corner of Caroline and Bank streets. The first or original congregation of the Strawberry Alley Church built and worshiped in the W'ilks Street Church, corner of Eastern a\enue and Bethel street, which is now occupied by the Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church, the Methodist congregation ha\ing erected the handsome and commodious structure at the southeast corner of Baltimore and Wash- ington streets, known as East Baltimore station, which thus becomes the direct de- scendant of the Strawbern,' alley foundation. The second of the two buildings which it was decided to build for the first Metho- dists in Baltimore was the "Lovely Lane Meeting House." This edifice, memorable through all time as the place of the organi- zation of the .Methodist Episcopal Church at the Christmas Conference" in 1784, was located and erected in 1774 by \\'illiam Moore and Philip Rogers, two of the Balti- more converts under Asbury' s ministry. The site upon which this building stood is now occupied by the Merchants Club on German street, between South and Calvert streets. On February 11, 1774, Moore and Rogers took up a subscription and secured the lot. In April the foundation was laid. In October of the same year the building was so far completed that Cap- tain Webb, a British officer and faithful pioneer local preacher, spoke in the build- ing. In May, 177b, the first conference of .Methodist preachers held in Baltimore took place in this meeting house. In December, 1784, the most important epoch in the history of American Metho- CITY HALL.

The Methodist Societies in the L'nited States were here organized into the Metho- dist Episcopal Church in the United States of America," and Rev. Thomas Coke, LL. D., and Rev. Francis Asbury became the first Bishops of the church. From this humble church building went forth that efficient church organization, which has grown Lintil it encircles the world. Coke, accompanied by Whatcoat (after- ward Bishop ) and \'asey, arri\ ed in New 'S'ork from England November S, 1784, and on the night of his arrival preached in Wesley Chapel the John Street Church. He rode to Philadelphia and then proceeded southward. On November 14, at Barratt's Chapel, in Delaware, he and Asbuni' met for the first time. It was at this meeting that the plans for the Conference were made to meet at Baltimore on the ensuing Christ- mas eve. On December 17, the party arrived at Perry Hall, another historic spot identified w'ith early Methodism in Mary- land, and which Coke described as the most elegant house in this state," and which Black, another member of the party mentions as the most spacious and elegant building I have seen in America." In this hospitable Methodist mansion, the home of Mr. Harry Dorsey Gough, about eighteen miles northeast of Baltimore, the prelimin- aries of the approaching Conference were arranged, and on Fridaj', Decem- ber 24, 1784, the little company rode to Baltimore, and at ten o'clock in the morning opened the first American General Con- ference in the Lovely Lane Church. There were si.xty preach- ers present out of eighty-one in the country. The task of rallying these men from the localities widely scattered through the north and south, in which they had been laboring, was performed by a nati\e of Maryland, Freeborn Garrettson, who became a noted figure in the land in later times, marrying a sister of Robert Liv- ingston, one of the Committee who framed the Declaration of Independence. Cjarrettson had tra\ eled twelve hundred miles in six weeks in that period of primitive transportation methods. Bishop Coke, on taking the chair, pre- sented his Letters Credential, and in accordance with Mr. Wesley's design, it was, in the language of Asbury, "agreed to form ourselves into an Episcopal Church, and to have superintendents, elders and deacons." Asbury declined to accept the superinten- dency on Mr. Wesley's appointment, unless, in addition thereto, his brethren should elect him to that office, whereupon, we are informed h\ the historians, that both Asbury and Coke were unanimously elected, and on the second day of the session Asbury was ordained deacon by Dr. Coke, assisted by Elders \\ hatcoat and \'asey. On the third day, which was Sunday, Asbury was ordained elder, and on Monday he was consecrated as superintendent by Bishop Coke, his friend Otterbein of the German Reform Church and the elders assisting in the service. Tuesday, \\ ednesday and Thursday were spent in enacting rules of discipline and the election of preachers to orders. It was agreed that the liturgy which had been pre- pared by Mr. Wesley for the use of the American church should be read in the congregations; a"nd that the sacraments and ordinations should be celebrated according to the Episcopal form. On Friday several deacons were ordained and on Sunday, the second day of January, 1785, twelve elders were ordained who had been pre\iously ordained as deacons, and the Conference ended ' ' in great peace and unanimity. 16 LANDMARKS OF METHODISM. L ntil tilt time of the Christmas Confer- ence the "Wesleyan Minutes" had been recoKnized as the law of the American Societies. In the preliminary consultation at Perry Hall that code was re\ised and adapted to the new form of the American Church, and this revision, having been adopted by the Christmas Conference, was incorporated with Mr. \\"esley's revised edition of the "Liturgy," which he called the "Sunday Service," and was published in 1785 as the "Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church." The Liturgy fell into disuse in a few years, but the Discipline, as regulated and modified by the succeeding General Conferences, has been the govern- ing code of Methodism to the present time. It may not be inappropriate to state here, several historic facts that had an important bearing upon the organization of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church, and doubtless aided materially in fostering its rapid growth. The War of the Revolution brought about a condition in which the ministers of the Established Church of England as repre- sented in the colonies found themselves in an unenviable and awkward position. They were not only subjects of the English crown,' but also ordained ministers in the mother church, and under the circumstances many returned to England during the war. Thus the people were in a large measure left without didy authorized clergy to administer the sacraments. Meanwhile the Methodist societies were growing, while the Estab- lished Church was practically cut off from its head, and consequently not keeping pace with the needs of the people in religious matters. The organization of the Meth- odists into a church with ordained deacons, elders and superintendents, afterward desig- nated as bishops, would seem to have sup- plied the wants of the people, and under the aggressive leadership and indomit- able energy of Asbury and his asso- ciates, had swept rapidly over the land, before the subsequent sever- ance of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America from the Eng- lish Church had taken place. During the period when the number of Methodist preachers in America was small, there was but one conference held each year, but in 1779 they had so increased as to render it inconvenient for all to meet in one place, and from that time till 1 784 two conferences were held, one in Baltimore and one in X'irginia, though the second was considered as an adjournment of the first. The Baltimore Conference, being of the longest standing and made up of the oldest preachers, took precedence of the Virginia Conference, especially in the making of rules for the societies. The Christmas Conference of 1784 was called a General Conference and the next General Conference was held in November, 1792. From the latter date the General Conferences have met every four years, and of these general gatherings, which are the highest court as well as the law-making bodies of the Methodist Epis- copal Church, a greater number have assem- bled in Baltimore than in any other place in the world. The General Conferences of 1792, 1796, 1800, 1804, 1808, 1816, 1820, 1824, 1840 and 1876 have met in this city, so that during the great formative period of the church it is undoubtedly true that Balti- more was the American rallying point for Methodism. It is during this formative period that the historic Light Street Church played such a conspicuous part. The rapid growth of Methodism soon rendered the Lovely Lane Meeting House too limited to accommodate the people and arrangements were made for the erection of a large and commodious church in the center of the city. The spot selected was on the northwest corner of Light street and Wine alley. The building was commenced in August, 1785, being 46 feet front by 70 feet deep. On May 21, 1786, the church was dedicated by Bishop Asbury. This structure was destroyed by fire December 4, 1 796. At the same time Cokesbury College, which stood on the southwest corner of Light street and \\'ine alley, was burned. FOIIT McHENRY. OF STAR SP.ANGLED BASNEIt FAME. LANDMARKS OF METHODISM. 17 Cokesbury College was the Hist Meth- odist institution of learning founded in America. It was originally erected at Abingdon, Harford county, Md., and was opened by Bishop Asbury December 10, 1787. The building and necessar\' apparatus cost upward of ;£. 10,000. The success of the college was highly satisfactory. Decem- ber 4, 1795, the college was destroyed by fire. The Methodists of Baltimore rallied to the relief of the church, and to repair this calamity a large and elegant assembly room was purchased adjoining Light Street Church, and the college re-established. One year after the first fire, to the very day, the college was again destroyed with the Light Street Church, and was never rebuilt. The site of the college building was selected for the place of the reconstructed Light Street Church, that is, at the south- west corner of Light street and Wine alley, whereas the church had formerly stood on the northwest corner. This spot is now in the center of the intersection of I^ight and German streets. The lot for the church was purchased at a cost of /. 5,.^60. On October 29, 1797, about ten months after the loss of the first church, Bishop Asbury dedicated the new church. This structure was in existence until about a quarter of a century ago, when it was demolished in connection with the extension of German street, business houses having grown up on all sides and the residence section ha\ing receded. The congregation, being com- pelled to move, acquired the building at the northeast corner of Charles and Fayette streets, where it continued to worship until its removal a few years ago to the massive and magnificent First Church, built at the northwest corner of St. Paul and Twenty- second streets in conjunction with and as part of the beautiful architectural plan of the W omans College. This splendid structure is the direct de- scendant, historically speaking, of the humble and unpretentious Lovely Lane Meeting House. But the greatest interest which centers in Light Street Church is not confined to the church building only. In the rear and to the westward was located "The Preacher's House, or Parsonage," which has also dis- appeared with the church. This was occu- pied by the pastors of the church and for many decades was the temporary- home of bishops and other visiting ministers. It was plain anil unpretentious, but comfortable and retired. Here Bishop Asburj- made his headquarters and kept most of his books. In this building was located a room famous as The Conference Room." It was in the upper or third floor, and was accessible from the groiuid by an outside stairway from the church yard. The parsonage. had an interesting history. It was first used as a private academy for the instruction of youth. In the year 1801 the Male Free School of Baltimore was or- ganized and occupied the room for school purposes, until the institution was removed to a new building on Courtland street erect- ed in 1812. In the year 1810 the Baltimore Annual Conference assembled for the first time in what became known as the Conference Room, which was subsequently used for many conferences and other religious assem- blages. A historian writing many years ago of this church and parsonage says, ' ' No place for divine worship is more generally known among the Methodist community and none has ever received more marked respect than this old citadel of American Methodism." This denominational interest in Light Street Church has arisen in part from the numer- ous Conferences, both annual and general, which have convened therein. The decisions of the pioneer ministry, which were enunciated in that church, and which aided in gi\ing form and stability to the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States of America, have entered into the permanent history of the times in which they lived. Probably more of the great lights of Methodism from all sections of the United States have held forth the Word of Life in Light Street Church, than in any other place of public worship on the Ameri- can continent. The General Conferences which met in Baltimore in 1792, 179b, 1800, 1804 and 1808 were composed of all the preachers in full connection with the church. The difficulties incident to the assembling of the members from all parts of the country as the work spread, led to a proposition to change the form of the (General Conference into a delegated body, and this important step was finally taken in this city, one hun- dred years ago, so that the General Confer- ence of 1812, held in John Street Church, New "^'ork, was the first delegated General Conference, and consequently counting 18 LANDMARKS OF METHODISM. from that session, the meeting to be held in Baltimore this year is designated as the twent\-fifth delegated session. Among the more recent places of interest to the visitors to the General Conference is the Woman's College of Baltimore, which is one of the leading educational institutions conducted under the auspices of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church. The handsome group of buildings connected with the col- lege are located in the vicinity of St. Paul and Twenty-third street, and number nine large structures. The value of grounds and buildings is placed at SI, 267, 604. The founding of the college took place in 1884, just one hundred years after the Christmas Conference held in the same city. To the enterprise of Re\-. John F. Goucher, D. D., is due the conception and maturing of this great undertaking, and he has continued as president until this year, when he resigned, being made president emeritus. Among the entertainment features planned for the delegates to the General Conference are trips to Annapolis and Washington. In Washington the members of the Confer- ence will be entertained at the American University and afforded an opportunity to see the places of greatest interest in the Capital City. The American L'ni\ersity is the out- growth of the desire expressed by George Washington that a national university be established in the capital of the country. Bishop Hurst, on behalf of Methodism, devoted much effort to this cause and laid strongly the foundations of the American University. The site includes ninety-two acres and the assets already exceed $2,000,000, although the work is com- paratively young. In Annapolis the visitors will ha\e an opportunitj- to see the new Naval Academy, built at a cost of more than SIO, 000,000 and said to be the finest institution of its kind in the world. They will also see many places identified with the making of the earlv history of our nation. .MT. KOVAL SIATION OF HALTl.MOHE i- OHIU RAU.KOAU, OPPOSITE WHERE CONFEKENCE WILL BE HELD. ■THE LYRIO.'

The hotel and cottages are provitied with gas, cleetricity and water from their own systems. The popularity of Deer Park is due to its desirable altitude, i.800 feet above the sea level, out of reach of malaria and mosquitoes: and its maKuiticent parking of 500 acres of forest and lawn, and mites of per- fectly kept roadways, afford most delightful surroundings. It is thoroughly modern as to improvements antl equipment, with Bowling Alleys, Billiard Rooms, Tennis Courts. Golf Links.

The Allegheny Mountains and its Various Summer Resorts LLEGHENY MOUN- TAIN RESORTS" is synonymous with all that is beautiful and healthful, and there can be little else said in re- gard to the numberless recreation spots on the summit of these mountains. They are all practically within easy reach of the Baltimore & m by well-kept mountain roads traversing the most charmingly picturesque scenery to be found anywhere. DEER PARK, MARYLAND. Standing in the center of an attractive reservation of 500 acres, the Deer Park Hotel and its family of cottages presents a most artistic picture. The utmost good taste has been shown in the preservation DEEK P.ARK HOTEL. Ohio Railroad and many of them are sit- uated on its main line between the East and West. The Allegheny plateau, better known as the "Glades," extends for many miles, with an altitude of about 2,500 feet above the sea level. Here are located society, re- ligious and family resorts of Deer Park, Mountain Lake Park and Oakland within a few miles of each other and all connected of the forests while constructing the hotel, in removing just enough trees to enhance the beauty of the grounds. Rising above the surrounding oaks, beech, maple, etc., the roof line of the main hotel reveals it- self above a verdant background of dense foliage. To the right and left of the spacious center building, the eastern and western annexes extend in a pleasing archi- tectural manner. Either one of these ALLEGHENY MOUNTAIN RESORTS. BOILINO SPRING they can arrange for their meals at the hotel. It has been customary to open these cottages about June 15 of each year and the hotel proper June Hi. Not far from the hotel, in secluded wood- lands, is "Boiling Spring," issuing from the rocky heart of the mountain, from which the most delightful crystal-clear water flows in superabundance. It has a daily flow of 150,000 gallons of purest table water, which also supplies the two large swimming pools of the hotel. Deer Park water as a table water has no equal, and is by analysis perfectly pure. The water is highly recommended by leading physicians for its purity, and it is used throughout the entire dining car system of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. The spring is about two miles from the hotel and is encased in a wire house, securely roofed and locked, to absolutely prevent any impurities falling therein. The two swimming pools are each so spacious and the water so delightful that visitors to Deer Park enjoy all the pleasures of bathing as at a watering place. One of these pools is for the exclusive use of ladies buildings would form a large hotel, but virtually they are one structure, being con- nected by covered passage-ways along the first and second floors. The splendid build- ings, with big, airy rooms and immense verandas, are on top of a knoll, with the beautiful lawn sloping gently to the railway station, 300 yards distant. The hotel is supplied with every con- ceivable modern appliance for the con- venience of its guests. Nothing is omitted which is necessary to the taste of the most fastidious person, notwithstanding its isola- tion on the top of a mountain. It is a city in ijself, provided with its own gas and electric plants and water system. The sewerage and sanitary arrangements are the best that modern engineering could achieve. There are many people who desire to leave their city homes and visit resorts, but are not desirous of living at a hotel. For these persons there are delightful private cottages in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, which are fully equipped and beautifully furnished for housekeeping, if so desired, but should the occupants wish, - I MKLY FORFSTS ALLEGHENY MOUNTAIN RESORTS.

A supplementary amusement building or casino is provided with billiard and pool tables and an immense bowling alley. The "Glades" furnish enchanting drives and bridle paths through the mountain for- ests, and consequently a suitable livery es- tablishment is one of the features of Deer Park. Vehicles of all kinds can be fur- nished, from a dog-cart to a tally-ho, and good horses are available for either driving or riding. Accommodations are provided for automobiles, horses and vehicles brought by guests to the Park. There are excellent roads for motoring; new tennis courts and ball grounds. A picturesque golf course is a special feature. The morning band concerts and evening hops at the hotel are not overlooked Notwithstanding Deer Park has its own individual attractions, it is favored with the very best transportation facilities, the lack of which is so often a detriment to a sum- mer resort. It is situated on the main line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and is only eleven hours' ride from Cincinnati or New York; eight and one-half hours from Philadelphia; six and one-quarter hours from Baltimore ; five and one-quarter hours from Washington; six hours from Pittsburg; eight and three-quarter hours from Columbus; twenty-one hours from St. Louis, and eighteen and three-quarter hours from Chicago. From each of these cities through Pullman sleeping cars land passengers at the hotel. The day trains have drawing-room parlor cars and dining cars. GOLF. DEFR PARK ALLEGHENY MOUNTAIN RESORTS. MOUNTAIN LAKt PAKK tsTATlON. MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, MD. As early as 1881 Mountain Lake Park was selected as the annual meeting place of the Mountain Chautauqua, and during the summer months its hotels and private boarding houses are well patronized by conventionists and others who hold their religious and secular meetings in buildings especially provided for the purpose. Mountain Lake Park is situated on the Allegheny Mountain "Glades," 2,800 feet above the sea, and being on the top of the mountain, not shut in by other mountain ranges, it consequently enjoys the freedom of the mountain breezes and sunshine. The grounds have been carefully laid out in walks, streets and drives. The roads through the Park are kept in excellent or- der, as driving and automobiling are rec- ognized as most pleasant recreations. A lake covering forty acres, well stocked with row boats and launches, enables visitors to pass many a delightful hour. No intoxicating liquors are allowed to be sold, bought or used on the grounds, and COTTAO I ALLEGHENY MOUNTAIN RESORTS.

Mountain Lake Park is on the main line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and on week days only, all through trains stop to receive and discharge passengers from the Last and West. OAKLAND, MD. This popular mountain resort is situated six miles west of Deer Park and has an all-the-year population of about 1,500 people, while during the summer season the beautiful Oakland Hotel and the many artistic private cottages are filled with well- to-do people from many distant cities, not- ably Washington, Baltimore and Cincin- nati. The main line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad passes through Oakland, and dur- ing the summer season it is a regular stop for all through trains east and west. Aside from the many attractions in the vicinity of Oakland, picturesque mountain drives lead to the other nearby resorts of Brookside, Eglon, Aurora, Deer Park, Mountain Lake Park and Swallow Falls, none of which are more than ten miles distant. EGLON, W. VA. Eglon is reached by a beautiful ten-mile mountain drive from Oakland, and each summer its hotel and cottages are becoming more popular with the lovers of natural scenery and invigorating mountain air. AURORA, W. VA. A delightful scenic drive of twelve miles from either Oakland or Deer Park leads up to the little mountain resort of Aurora, which is especially attractive to many owing to the absence of the conventional formal- ities which usually prevail at such places. Aurora's two hotels and many cottages are well patronized by those seeking relief from the hustle and bustle of the large lAkLA.ND HOTEL. 6 ALLEGHENY MOUNTJIN RESOR'IS. cities and at the same time build up their health with pure mountain air. BROOKSIDE, W. VA. A mountain resort that is rapidly grow- ing in popularity is Brookside, W. Va., lo- cated near Oakland on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Possessing many natural advantages, the success of Brookside may be attributed more directly to the care of Its management and the feeling that one has here that he is a member of a huge house party. In fact, it may justly be claimed that Brookside is socially ideal. The sojourner at Brookside meets pleas- ant people, lives in a pure atmosphere, among ideal surroundings, enjoys rest and recreation, an abundantly supplied table and leaves with health immeasurably im- proved. TERRA ALTA, W. VA. Terra Alta, West Virginia, lies at the extreme western edge of the great Alle- gheny plateau, known as the "Glades," ten miles from Oakland. It has no particular distinguishing marks as a summer resort, but its altitude of 2,550 feet, overlooking BIRD'S EYE VIEW. BBOOKSIUE. W. VA. Brookside Inn and Cottages — ten in number — are situated on a plateau 3,000 feet above tide-water, commanding a view second to none in the United States. No resort can boast of more healthful location, purer water, better or more abundant food. Brookside supplies its own meats, poultry and dairy products. There is every opportunity for out door sports and recreation, including boating and bathing in the lake. Riding and driving are popular pastimes for which a well equipped livery is maintained.

A romantic old mill, which has long since served its useful- ness, adds greatly to the picturesque- ness of the place. HARPERS KERRY, W. \'A. Erom historic and scenic standpoints this little \ illage is of unusual interest. While the town itself is located in West Virginia, it is in close proximity to the States of Maryland and \'irginia, being separated from the former b\' the Potomac Ri\er and from the latter by the Shenandoah Ri\er. It is built upon a hill known as Bolivar Heights," and is overshadowed by mountains known as ''London Heights'" in Virginia, and "Maryland Heights" in Maryland. Harper's Kerry is a popular summer resort, being located on the main line of the Baltimore <5c Ohio Railroad, and is reached within an hour and thirty minutes from Washington and about two hours from Baltimore. All through trains east and west stop here. The hotels and cottages are well equipped and are so situated as to command unobstructed \ lews of the rivers and country for miles around. Of the historic interests centered in and about this quaint \illage that in connection with the famous John Brown's raid is probably the most renowned. The site of the old fort is marked only by the marker erected by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and the old iron tablets placed by the Go\ ernment tell of interesting achie\ e- ments during the Civil War. Jefferson's Rock, and the old churches and houses built in the hillsides, are still intact and are the centers of attrac- tion to the newcomers. Farther up the Shenandoah River, on the Virginia side, John Brown's Fort stands by itself in a lonely field, where it was rebuilt on its return from the Chicago World's Fair. The Valley Branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad extends from Harper's Ferry up the beautiful Shenandoah Valley, wherein are located many famous health and pleasure resorts. It was in this valley that some of the bloodiest encounters of the Civil War took place. .\A11ICAI, srAIHUXi. ll\KI'i:i;s tKUHV ALLEGHENY MOUNTJIN RESORTS. BEDFORD SPRINCiS, PA. Bedford Springs, located at Bed- ford, Pa., ten miles from Hyndman Station on the main line of the Baltimore ik Ohio Railroad, in the Allegheny Mountains, 1,1 OU feet above tide-water, comprise the Mag- nesia Spring, the Sulphur Spring, the Pure Spring, and the Iron Spring. The mountain air is bracing, the nights are delightful, with no mos- quitoes, and malaria is unheard of. It has been patronized as a summer resort for three-quarters of a century, and the attractions of the place are well known. Celebrated as mineral waters have become all over the world for the cure of disease, there have been none to surpass, and in this country none to equal in \ irtue, the Bedford Magnesia Spring. The Sulphur Spring rises on the west side of Shover's Creek, about two hundred yards distant from the Magnesia Spring. It is less copious than the others, and the water exhales a very strong odor of sul- phureted hydrogen gas. Chemical e.xperi- ments prove that it holds in solution carbonic acid, sulphureted hydrogen gas, small quantities of lime, magnesia and com- mon salt, and that it contains no iron.

Markleton Sanatorium is situated on the main line of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- road, between Cumberland and Pittsburg, in a secluded nook in the Alleghenies, shut in by mountains from the outside world, affording a quiet, restful retreat for the sick, free from extreme weather in summer or winter. The sanatorium is surrounded by beautiful and ro- mantic walks and drives, and the forests and streams about it furnish splendid sport. The altitude is be- tween 1,700 and 1,800 feet. The water, which is pure and abundant, comes from numerous springs high up on the mountain side. There is also a mineral spring, the water of which has pro\en highly bene- ficial in cases of dyspepsia and con- stipation. There are excellent and competent physicians in attendance, and baths of all kinds, viz. : salt, electric, Turkish, vapor, etc., are furnished. The hotel, with a ca- pacity- of 150, is open the year roLUul. It is only three hours from Pittsburg, six from W'ashiuL'ton, and seven from Baltimore.

Webster Springs is reached by the West Virginia Midland Railroad, connecting with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at Holly Junction, W. Va. The picturesque ride en route through the Alleghenies cannot be surpassed in beauty, while the views of the valleys of the Elk and Holly rivers from precipitous heights will make one gaze in wonder. The sojourner is well provided for with good boarding houses and hotel accommo- dations, the best of which is the Webster Springs Hotel, which is conceded to be the most modern summer hostelry in the two Virginias. It contaigs 140 bedrooms, a in a natural manner, and restore all fiuic- tions to a state of health. MONT CHATEAU, W. VA. 1 hose who desire rest and recreation find Mont Chateau a delightful place. The hotel and cottages are built on the bank of the Cheat River, in the midst of the primeval trees of the forest. A never-fail- ing breeze blows nightly down the Canyon of the Cheat, making the nights always cool, and mosquitoes are unknown. The hotel is wonderfully quaint and cozy, and affords all the comforts and conveniences of home life. It is easily reached by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to Alorgan- towii, W. Va., and the drive over the .1 ^^||m|^- --^""BilP"- 1 WrSffrtll^ li V. ^Si|kigj|Ll23|j&j^ .'.^^dHhHJMtt ^HjHF^^^ ««i WEBSTER SPRINGS HOTKL.

Excellent bass and trout fishing may be had within a few miles of the town, while late in the fall wild turkey shooting is the chief pastime. The feature of greatest interest is the sulphur baths, which have highly curative qualities in cases of stomach, liver and kid- ney trouble. The combined effect of warm salt water baths and of drinking the cold sulphur water, apart from its great value in the numerous specific ailments referred to, is to eradicate from the system entirely all morbid secretions and accumulations, and to improve the nutrition and secretion mountains to Mont Chateau is one of the most delightful features of the trip. BRADDOCK HEIGHTS, MD. This attractive resort is on the Catoctin Mountain, three and one-half miles west of Frederick, in Frederick County, Maryland, twenty miles ride by trolley, through one of the most beautiful valleys in the countrv. The prospect is extensive and enchant- ing, commanding the extent of the Fred- erick Valley to the east, and the far-famed Middletown Valley to the west, the South Mountain Battlefield being in full view. A splendid hotel, recently erected, and the numerous cottages for boarders, provide ample accommodations. 10 SPRINGS OF WONDERFUL CURATIVE VALUE. CAPON SPRINGS, W. VA. Situated on the western slope of the Great Northern Mountain of the Shenandoah Rantre, at an ele- vation of 1,800 feet. Capon Springs offers a most deiivv" Spring. The three hotels and se\ en cottages afford accommoda- tions for 750 guests. JORDAN'S WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, VA. Jordan's White Sulphur Springs are situated one and one-half miles from Stephenson Station, on the Valley Branch of the IBaltimore & Ohio Railroad, in a most delightful district. 1 he surrounding hills are co\ered with a luxuriant vegetation, and the climb to the top of almost any one of them is compensated by a series of magni- ficent views. The resort is a favorable one for families, many of them returning reg- ularly season after season. The main spring, known as the AVhite Sulphur, is in the center of the grounds, although nearby are wells of pure, sweet water, free from mineral qualities. The country about Jor- dan's White Sulphur Springs lies some 500 feet above the level of Harper's Ferry, and therefore the pure air, together with the fragrance of the pines which cover the sur- rounding hills, is refreshing and healthful. As the name implies, the water is largely impregnated with sulphur and the minerals usually accompanying it. ORKNEY SPRINGS. VA. SEJSHORE RESORTS. 13 ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Atlantic City, N.

It is free to all, rich and poor alike, and thousands of people may be seen promenading this esplanade in .t never- several occasions in the past few years that over 100,000 people have taken advantage of the bathing hours between eleven and one o'clock. The sight at this time defies de- scription ; men, women and children in bathing costumes of varied hues form a pic- ture to be seen only at Atlantic City. Aside from the ocean features, Atlantic City has amusements of every kind. Great steel piers extend hundreds of feet into the ocean.

It is pronounced to be the largest, rich- est and most popular watering place in the world. Its season never comes to an end, which gives it a great advantage over most other resorts of this kind. There are over twelve hundred hotels and cottages de- voted to the transient population. Some of them are as magnificent in detail as can be found in the country. The rich can find luxury in its most profuse form, and the humble can procure less pretentious quar- ters and be comfortably provided for. The surf bathing which had made At- lantic City famous is one of the wonders of the world. It has been estimated on Railway, conducts a series of popular ex- cursions ever)' summer to Atlantic City and several other of its sister resorts from the entire territory east of the Ohio River and from certain portions of the line west of the River. CAPE MAY, N. J. For generations Cape May has been known as one of the most attractive and re- cuperative resorts along the Atlantic Coast, and its popularity has steadily increased until Atlantic City alone surpasses this sea- side resort in its cosmopolitan population. The location of the city, which is in the southernmost part of New Jersey on Cape Mav Point, commands an ideal climate the 14 SEJ SHORE RESORTS. year round, being fanned by the cool ocean breezes in summer and warmed in winter by the Gulf Stream. The Delaware Bay, directly to the east, affords superb facilities for sailing, while the opportunities for a cruise from Phila- delphia to Cape May are frequently taken advantage of. In addition to its many well appointed hotels, Cape May can now boast of having one of the finest hostelries in the country. Good fishing and shooting may be had near at hand, while the golf links are all that could be desired. The gently sloping beach permits an ex- cellent roadway, and each year is the scene of one of the most celebrated automobile ing on 75,000. It has a particularly fine location for a summer outing, and the beach front is one of the best on the North Atlantic Coast. It is bounded on the north and south by two beautiful fresh water lakes, that to the north being known as Sunset Lake, which is most irregular in outline, its surface being dotted with many small and picturesque islands. Several hun- dred boats comprise the livery thereon, and gala events are frequent occurrences. At the south is Wesley Lake, a long, narrow and picturesque body of water separating Asbury Park from its sister city, Ocean Grove, by all odds the most famous camp meeting city in the country.

A number of popular excursions are run to Cape May by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in connection with! the Phila- delphia & Reading Railway and this city enjoys practically the same train service as Atlantic City, and only a little more time is consumed in the run.

Like a magic city, with the advent of the summer season, Asbury Park becomes one of the most populous municipalities of New Jersey, with a population well border- not only uncommonly wide, but are very well kept, and the greenswards and pro- fuse shade surrounding the residences add materially to the city's attractiveness. The city has recently taken over the ownership of the beach front, and much has already been done to make the esplan- ade and board walk, v^'hich is eighty feet wide and some three miles in length, a special feature of attraction. There has recently been built a casino of mammoth proportions on one of the piers extending into the ocean, and reached di- rectly from the board walk, and in this amphitheater, under the supervision of the SEASHORE RESORTS. 15 SI'NSF.T LAKE. AsmiKV I'AUK municipal beach commission, is given a series of daily concerts and entertainments by the best and most noted musical orfjan- izations and artists in America. The roads leading to the inland and sur- rounding country are noted for their pic- turesqueness, and driving and motoring are popular pastimes. An adequate trolley line brings the nearby towns of Avon, Belmar, Spring Lake, Elberon and Long Branch within easy riding distance of Asbury Park, while a belt line service in the city connects the board walk, public halls and business centers with the hotels. The hotels are comfortable domiciles, with every conven- ience the tourist may exact, and a cuisine which is not surpassed anywhere. There are also innumerable boarding houses, at which very comfortable accommodations may be obtained. At the smaller boarding houses one may be accommodated for $5.00 per week, the more pretentious boarding houses, charging from $10.00 to $15.00 per week; the small hotels furnish very good accommodations for $15.00 to $20.00 a week, but at the larger hotels prices range from $5.00 a day upwards. OCEAN CITY, N. J. Ocean City lies a few miles south of At- lantic City. While not as popular with the masses as Atlantic City or Cape May, it has a popular representation of the peo- ple each season. SEA ISLE CITY, N. J. Another of the popular seashore resorts, lies midway between Ocean City and Cape Alay, and enjoys the same superb bathing facilities. OCEAN CITY, MD., AND REHO- BOTH BEACH. DEL. These seashore resorts are mentioned to- gether, as they enjoy somewhat the same popularity. They lie on the coast south of the Delaware Bay, and are reached via Baltimore, thence by boat and rail. A-^liri;V 1>ARK CASINO. 16 ALLEGHENY MOUNTAIN RESORTS. GETTYSBURG, PA. The chief interest of Gettysburg is his- toric, and this it is that attracts tourists from all parts of the world. The greatest battle, considered the "high-water mark" of the Civil War, was fought here on the 1st, 2d and 3d of July, 1863, between the bulk of the Confederate forces. Other spots usually visited are Benner's Hill, Culp's Hill, Round Top and Little Round Top, also Willoughby Run, where Buford's cavalry held A. P. Hill's column in check during two critical hours.

Flank- ing Cemetery Hill on the west, about a mile distant, is Cemetery Ridge, on which were General Lee's headquarters and the President Lincoln, November 19, 1863. A soldiers' monument, sixty feet high and surmounted by a colossal marble statue of Liberty, dedicated July 4, 1868, occupies the crown of the hill. At the base of the pedestal are four buttresses bearing marble statues of War, History, Peace and Plenty.

ON L.\KE KRIE. CEDAR POINT, OHIO. Cedar Point, the beautiful Lake Erie re- sort, is situated on a semicircular neck of land stretching out into the lake, and is conceded to be the largest summer resort in the world under one management. Over a million people flocked to this point during the last season from all points of the com- pass. So popular has it become and so numerous are its amusements that it has frequently been termed the "Coney Island" of the Central West. The management of Cedar Point have made it their chief object to cater to the comfort, health and pleasure of the tourists, and the beautiful wooded peninsula of nearly seven square miles in extent, has grown into a modern summer resort with accommodations for 50,000 people, and has the largest and best hotel facilities on the Great Lakes. Its famous beach is seven miles long and is considered the safest and most perfect fresh water bathing in the countrj'. Here may be seen daily thousands enjoying their dip in the surf, while hundreds of children make the clean white sands of the beach their playground. Among the other pleas- ures are boating, bowling, fishing, sailing, rowing and woodland rambles, and in fact you have but to choose your pleasure and it is easily found. The Coliseum is of mammoth propor- tions, having a capacity of more than 10,- 000 people, while the immense ballroom is the scene of continuous dancing every after- noon and night. Crystal Rock Castle is also very popular with visitors, and in the afternoon and evenings, parties of pleasure- seekers gather to enjoy the music and dis- cuss the topics of the day. Another en- chanting feature is a series of lagoons which wind in and out among the most pictur- esque portions of the park for a distance of nearly three miles, and a trip on one of the auto-boats, which ply these waters, is a never-to-be-forgotten recreation. The accommodations for guests at Cedar Point are unsurpassed by any summer re- sort. The hotels are large and completely equipped, the most extensive of which is ■ijiiMJiaBiB •THE BREAKERS," CEDAR POINT. OHIO. ALLEGHENY MOUNTAIN RESORTS. 19 "The Breakers," with every modern con- venience. It covers an area of over six acres of ground and contains nearly 700 outside rooms, all of which afford an un- obstructed view of the bathing beach and Lake Erie. "The Breakers Annex" and "The White House" are two commodious and nicely furnished hotels, in addition to which there are many cozy cottages, which make most attractive summer homes. Cedar Point is easily accessible from points on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad via Sandusky, Ohio, where steamers meet all trains and make trips to and from the resort every twenty minutes. PUT-IN-BAY AND THE ISLANDS OF LAKE ERIE. Put-in-Bay, which claims to be the most important summer resort west of the Al- legheny Mountains, is one of the prettiest resorts of the Great Lakes. The island lies about twenty-two miles north of San- dusky, in Lake Erie, whilst close around it are Kelley's Island, Pelee, Middle Bass, Ballast, Gibraltar, and many smaller islands, each of which has its distinct indi- viduality. Put-in-Bay Island is the largest and niojt attractive of the group. Its magnificent scenery, pure water, bracing atmosphere, entire absence of dew, superb boating, bath- ing and fishing have made it popular for years. There are five large hotels on the island, and an electric railway, many hand- some summer cottages, magnificent bathing beaches with bath houses, toboggan slides, etc. The surrounding islands are so close to Put-in-Bay as to make it the head of a large family of pleasure-seekers. The famous fishing, for which Put-in-Bay and the islands are noted, needs no mention here. The islands are the headquarters for the yachting and canoeing associations of the Middle West, and ever enthuse new in- terest to lovers of the aquatic sport. These resorts are reached by the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad to Sandusky, and an excellent line of steamers meets all trains and makes deliveries of passengers to the islands. LAKE WAWASEE, IND. At Wawasee, Ind., on the Chicago Di- vision of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, lies Lake Wawasee, or "Turkey Lake," as it was formerly known. This beautiful ex- panse of water, ten miles in length, lies at an elevation of 900 feet above the level of the sea and about 300 feet higher than Lake Michigan, into which its waters empty. It is the largest of the inland lakes of Indiana, and is one of the most popular summer resorts of Chicago and of many of the larger cities of Indiana, Illinois and Michigan. "Turkey Lake," as it was formerly called, is a favorite resort for canoeists and fishermen who find delight in its pleasures for a fortnight's vacation. It is popular for families, and numerous beautiful private cottages dot its shores. There are four hotels at which reasonable rates can be obtained, from $1.00 per day up, with special rates to parties. LAKESIDE, OHIO. Lakeside is another Lake Erie resort near Sandusky, and is known as the "Chau- tauqua" of the lakes. For more than twenty-five years it has attracted, enlight- ened and entertained its thousands of fre- quenters. Chautauqua work, kindergarten, summer schools, bathing, fishing and boat- ing, all combine to instruct and amuse pat- rons. FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, IND. French Lick Springs are located in Orange County, Ind., 150 miles from Cin- cinnati, and are reached by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and its connection, the Bal- timore & Ohio Southwestern Railroad, via Mitchell, Ind. The springs issue into a valley crescented by the knobs of the Cumberlands, beauti- fully located, with unsurpassed views, sur- rounded by 300 acres of beautifully shaded lawn. The water emerges in gushing springs from a tertiary soil of rocky forma- tion, rich in glauberite crystals of calcium. It is clear, colorless water of specific gravity 1020, that bursts with unusual boldness, with a uniform temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter and summer. "Pluto," the largest spring, has an output of eighty gallons per minute. Proserpine," another spring, issues water of medium strength, and is used where only mild treat- ment is desired. "Bowies Springs," as com- 20 ALLEGHENY IfOVXrAIX RESORTS.

The Bath" spring: issues hea\y alkaline water, rich in sulphur compound. It is bluish black in color and almost opaque. WEST BADEN MINERAL SPRINGS, IND. West Baden Springs are known as the "Carlsbad of America," and are but one mile from French Lick, reached by the Baltimore & Ohio and Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railroad by way of Mitchell, Ind. There are no waters so favorably known for the cure of inebriation as those found at West Baden. They are an ab- solute specific for alcholism in all its forms. The large hotel is beautifully located and thoroughly up to date, containing over 600 rooms. PAOLI LITHIA AND SULPHUR SPRINGS, IND. These springs are situated near French Lick and West Baden Springs, and have the same direct train connections at Mitch- ell, Ind., from points on Baltimore & Ohio and Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Rail- roads, as have the other resorts. Paoli is supplied with amusements of various kinds, beside the benefits of the wonderful waters. WEST BAUEN HOTEL.

Tlie hotel and cottages are provided with y;as. electricity and water from their own systems. The popularity of Deer Park is due to its desirable attitude. 2,H0i> feet above the sea level, out of reach of malaria and mosquitoes; and its magnificent parking of 500 acres of forest and lawn, and miles of per- fectly kept roadways, afford most delightful surroundings. It is thoroughly modern as to improvements and equipment, with Bowling Alleys, Billiard Rooms. Tennis Courts, Golf Links, Swimming Pools. Livery, etc., and the delightful rijoms and excellent cuisine are not surpassed. No mountain resort equals it for accessibility — only eleven hours ride from Cincinnati or New York: nine and one-half hours from Philadelphia; seven hours from Baltimore; six hours from Wash- ington; seven hours from Pittsburg; ten hours from Columbus; twenty- one hours from St. Louis, and nineteen hours from Chicago, via the Baltimore ik Ohio Railroad. Deer Park guests can take through sleeping cars from any of these cities and alight at the hotel without change of cars. The Dining Car service is excellent. Very few summer resorts enjoy the privilege of through train and Pullman car service from all points such as Deer Park.

No. 8. The Borderland By ESTHER WIRGMAN Friend, do you know the Borderland? The fairest, flowering Borderland! Where, rising in their greenness, stand The lovely hills of Maryland, As emeralds set in golden band, From Hagerstown to Cumberland? Friend, have you seen the Borderland? The high, historic Borderland! Where rolls the Shenandoah grand. Whose valley is a wonderland Of old Virginia's saraband From Winchester to Cumberland? Come dwell within that Borderland ! That richest, ripest Borderland! Fine farms abound on every hand, Fat cattle for your deodand. In Pennsylvania's richest land From Pittsburg down to Cumberland. Oh! how we love that Borderland! Where rise the Alleghenies grand. The watch towers of this lovely strand, Of valley green and mountain grand, Of summers cool and winters bland. On West Virginia's eastern rand. From Romney down to Cumberland ! COLISEUM BUILDING. 14th STREET AND WABASH AVENTTE. CHICAGO. The Great Political Conventions The Republican National Convention at Chicag^o June \~ ^^HE quadrennial battle be- tween the two irreat polit- ical parties of the United States will be opened at Chicago on June 17 by the Republican National Convention and followed later on July 7 by the Democratic National Convention at Den\er. The Chicatro meetinir will be held in the Coliseum Building, which, although it will seat 14,UUU persons, will hardly be large enough to accommodate the statesmen and politicians who expect to be there. Every large cit\' which has a water front of any dimensions lays claim to its right as a summer resort; Chicago with its Lake Michigan breezes, claims the double right, and has issued much ad\ertising to that extent on occasion of the great convention. To emphasize this claim there are a num- ber of splendid summer hotels built on the lake front, and those who were there during the World's Fair in 1893 will remember the glorious weather in the months of June, July and .August. The city can pnnide entertainment of e\ery description, and for that reason it is said the majority of Chica- goans do not go away in the summer. It might be interesting to take a look at some Chicago statistics. Its area covers more than 96 square miles and its estimated population is 2.750,000. There are 48 miles of boulevards and more than 3,000 acres of public parks. There are 1,300 miles of street railway, said to carry on an average of 1,354,450 passengers daily; 1,188 churches and chapels and 308 public schools. At the Union Stock Yards — somehow Chicago is never mentioned without men- tioning the Stock 'Vards — there are 63,000 cattle, 138,000 hogs and other li\e stock in proportion, received weekly. Chicago started the craze for skyscrapers with the building of the .Masonic Temple, but which now might be considered insig- nificant when compared with some of New ^'ork City's most boasted structures; never- theless the Masonic Temple will always be a building of unusual interest to visitors. The Auditorium, comprising hotel and theatre and its annex buildings, is the palatial palace of the middle west; it is THE GREAT POLITICAL CONVENTIONS. always the scene of much splendor and will be of unusual interest with its crowds during the con\ention. Chicago's parks and boule\ards offer splendid play grounds for the people during the summer months. In Jackson Park on the South Side are many buildings reminders of the great White City, including the (jerman and Japanese buildings and the old Art Building, which has been used as the Field Museum until the latter is mo\ed to its proposed home on the lake front. Washington Park, near Jackson, is alive with out-door sports. At Lincoln Park, on the North Side, the zoological garden is the main attraction. While many miles apart, these e.xquisite public grounds are connected by grand boulevards. Chicago, by reason of its location and splendid facilities, has had at least one of the political conventions since 1880, with the exception of the year 1900, but made up for this bv ha\ing both of them in 1884. Democratic National Convention at Denver July 7th INCE the National polit- ical conventions of 1896, the Democratic National Convention has occurred in July, one month later than the Republican Na- tional Convention. This precedent is followed in 1908 when the Democratic National Convention will be held at Denver on July 7th, and the Re- publican Convention in Chicago in June. The Denver meeting will be held in the new Auditorium, which has an individuality of its own as a convention hall. For its erection, the money was raised by a bond issue voted by the people ; its cost was in the neighborhood of $600,000, and it has a seating capacity of nearly 13,000; it is located in the business district on Four- teenth street, between Champa and Curtis streets. While not yet fully completed, it will be ready some time in the month of May. The Auditorium is not only intended for convention purposes, but for grand opera and festivals as well. In comparison, it is larger than Madison Square Garden in New York, and occupies the full length of the block on Fourteenth street. Denver, the capital of Colorado, with a population of over 200,000, is known as the Queen City of the plains. Seldom, if ever, is a tour to the Pacific Coast or through the Rocky Mountain range arranged for, that Denver has not been an objective point either going or coming. It is a "new" city, dating back only to 1858, when its principal industry was mining; now it is quite an important manufacturing and job- bing city as well, and much of the mining machinery of the west is supplied from Denver. Among its principal buildings are the State Capitol, which cost $3,000,000; the Federal Building and the United States Mint. It supports five daily newspapers, which would indicate a wide range of thought, as many of its larger sister cities cannot boast of so many. Its hundred hotels are nearly all modern structures and ar- ranged to accommodate large crowds com- fortably. At an altitude of 5,300 feet, it is unquestionably a delightful summer re- sort, with a dry and invigorating atmos- phere. Denver is the great gateway to the mag- nificent Rocky Mountain scenery of Colo- rado and Utah, and it is safe to concede that many will take advantage of the low railroad rates in effect for the Democratic National Convention in order to avail them- selves of the opportunity of visiting this picturesque playground. The following tables will be of interest to those who wish to follow the history of the conventions: 1^ O o -St o 9. o c o "^ o ^ ^ H J= -£ M -' in Q c o o <, ft) t3 a c i >- > '^ O c -^ _ i: ■- U .2 U C 0/ (U -C tl > K r "^ 5 Si- C _ U ■f. n Id II 00 (J o •o c Q C o a & c o •*• c c o O W flj ^ r?x-*rJv:oo-»W"/:t— ?

LIBEUiy BELL. In scope, the proposed celebration will embrace historical pageantry — the first ever witnessed in this country and which will be on a scale equal to and probably sur- passing the historical pageants of England and Germany — an impressive display of Federal and State troops together with a review of warships of the Atlantic fleet, and, without doubt, representative vessels of for- eign navies; a review of the Police and Fire Departments of the city, in which will be shown the evolution of both of these municipal forces from early times; an In- dustrial Parade, which will be on a more pretentious plan than that in Philadelphia in 1882, declared to be one of the finest of its kind ever shown ; a marine pageant on the Delaware River, in which more than 500 vessels of all descriptions will partici- pate, and numerous other features of com- pelling interest. From an historical stantlpoint the Anni- versary will be of interest to all Philadel- phians irrespective of residence. Careful and recent research conclusively proves that the original government of the city was founded in 1683, less than four months after Penn's first arrival in America. Since that time the history of Philadelphia has been closely allied with the growth of the nation. In consequence, the forthcoming celebration will epitomize not alone the up- building of this, a typical American city, but will express as well, the unprecedented advancement of States and municipalities within the domain over which the Ameri- can flag flies today. Philadelphia, with a popidation of 1,500,- OOn, is the metropolis of the greatest manu- facturing State in the Union, covering an area of over 130 square miles. Chief among the manufacturing plants are the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Cramp's Ship Yards and the New York Ship Building Company, and the hundreds of carpet and textile mills located in various parts of the city.

Fairmount Park itself is interesting from a picturesque and historical standpoint ; within it are many mansions once the country places of men whose names are synonymous with the early history of the United States. The Zoological Gar- dens are also located in Fairmount Park. Fairmount Park is the largest park in the world, embracing within its domains nearly 3,000 acres, with unsurpassed natural scen- ery: through it wend the Schuylkill and Wissahickon Rivers, adding much to the beauty of the great playground. The city is full of reminiscences of the early days when the era of liberty and pros- perity began to dawn. The old State House, popularly termed Independence Hall, from whose steps the Declaration of Independence was read, and from whose tower the old Liberty Bell proclaimed lib- erty to all men, is on Chestnut street in a splendid state of preservation. Not far from it, is Carpenter's Hall, and a short distance from the latter is the spot on which stood the house from which the Declaration was penned ; this is Congress Hall, where George Washington took the oath of office INTEKIOK.

The Betsy Ros; house, in which was made the first Ameri- can flag, is always open to visitors. Briefly summarized the official program of the October celebration, as approved by the Mayor of Philadelphia, who is the Chairman of the Anniversary Committee, and the various committees, composed of nearly 1,000 active business, religious, his- torical and military men, is as follows: — Sunday, October 4. — Religious Day. Spe- cial services in all the churches, concluding with a monster open-air meeting in Fair- mount Park, at which a choir of nearly 5,000 voices will take part. Monday, October 5. — Official beginning of celebration, with salutes from war vessels in harbor: public reception in City Hall: parade of Police and Fire Departments, including the old Volunteer Fire Companies of Pennsylvania and neighboring States ; the State Police, etc. : the day concluding with a great meeting in the Academy of Music to which President Roosevelt, the Governors of all States and Mayors of leading cities will be invited. Tuesday, October 6. — Parade of Federal and State troops. Marines and Sailors from the United States fleet. League Island Navy Yard and from visiting foreign war vessels. Wednesday, October 7. — Great Indus- trial Parade, showing all Philadelphia's leading industries, including ship anil loco- motive building and all other trades which have made Philadelphia ami Pennsyhani.i famous the world over. Thursday, October 8. — Review of War V'essels in the harbor, followed by a Marine Pageant in which more than 500 vessels will participate. At night, the illumination of both the Pennsylvania and New Jersey shores of the Delaware River, to conclude with a dazzling fireworks display about all the war vessels. Friday, October 9. — Historical Pageant, descriptive of the history of the city from the 17th century to this time, in which over 5,000 characters are to be reproduced. In all probability this feature will eclipse the proposed Historic Pageant now being pre- pared for the coming summer in London. Saturday, October 10. — Parade and Field Exercises of the Knights Templar of Pennsylvania, terminating with a great dis- play of fireworks in Fairmount Park in the evening, a fitting conclusion to the week's festivities. BETSY ROSS HOOSE. SOLDIERS- AND SAILUKS MONUMENT. CLEVELAND MOMMENTAL PAKK. THH HEART OF CLEVELAND National Educational Association Convention at Cleveland, Ohio, June-July, 1908 ^O effort is being spared to make the foity-sixth an- nual convention of the National Educationa! Asso- ciation in Cleveland, June 2'^ to July 3, the most memorable in the history of that notable organization. The executive officers and chairmen, as- sisted by committees of more than two hun- dred of Cleveland's representative men, pro- fessional bankers, merchants, manufacturers and energetic women, have been at work en- thusiastically and energetically since early in the year to perfect all plans so that the 50,000 visitors who are expected, will re- ceive a cordial welcome and find all ar- rangements made for their convenience and comfort. Numerous excellent hotels, apartment houses and thousands of the city's homes, which will be open to convention guests, will afford ample and comfortable accom- modations for the throng of visitors. By special permission of the United States Government, Cleveland's magnificent new post office building will be open to the public for the first time to serve as the registration bureau. It is so spacious and so centrally located at the Public Sqi are that all the adnu'nistration of the con\ention will he expeditiously handled. For the general sessions the fine new Hip- podrome, which has been recently opened, will be used. With the post office for reg- istration and the Hippodrome for meetings, Cleveland will provide the finest and most practical places for these purposes that have ever been furnished the N. E. A. conven- tions. The smaller conferences and depart- ment meetings will be held in capacious halls and churches in various parts of the city. The central location of Cleveland makes it an ideal place for so large a ijathering as that planned this year; its equable summer weather, its beautiful location o\erlooking the lake, its charming parks and environs will all add much to the enjoyment of those who will make it the mecca of their summer outing. Ennui \\\\[ not sit heavily upon the for- tunate visitors to this year's convention. Beside the splendid educational programs planned for the general sessions and for the many conferences of the twenty-one de- partments, the local committee has arranged for any number of interesting affairs. A large outdoor evening reception, with- out doubt the largest reception of the kind 12 NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION CONTENTION. EUCLID AVENUE. ever held, will be given in honor of the great host at University Circle and Wade Park. At one side of the Circle are situ- ated the beautiful group of twenty or more buildings belonging to Western Reserve University and Case School of Applied Science, the stone buildings draped in ivy, in their setting of wide, green campus. The location of the buildings is high, and over- looks the double boulevards of Rockefeller Parkway and the exquisite beauty of Wade Park, often called the prettiest little park in the country. Just east of the park are the buildings of the College for Women and the Cleveland School of Art. All this extent of park land and campus will be turned temporarily into fairyland bv myriads of lights and decorations, while the park lake will be gay with a flotilla of little boats all alight. On the island in the lake will be a chorus of school boys, whose treble voices will sound sweetly on the night air. The large orchestra of sixty pieces, organized for the Convention, and several bands will play that evening under the trees. The college halls will be open to receive guests and on the reception committee will be some of the most promi- nent people in Cleveland, representing edu- cational, scientific, municipal, business and social prestige of the city. The same evening receptions will be held at each of the state headquarters at the hotels, guests proceeding from these smaller ones to the general one at University Circle. An endless chain of street cars will con- vey guests to and from this mammoth garden party. The Ben Greet Players, who give "Shakespeare's plays as Shakespeare wrote them," will present a series of performances during the week. These presentations of "As You Like It," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "The Tempest" and others will have a special charm in being given in the open air on the college campus of Western Re- serve University. The Ben Greet Players have appeared at most of the leading Amer- ican and Canadian Colleges and at Oxford, Cambridge and other places in England. They have played also for many large as- sociations throughout Canada and the United States, and have everywhere re- newed enthusiasm in the spirit and letter of the great poet and dramatist. Acted and staged in Elizabethan manner gives a quaint flavor that_ adds to the charm of the pre- sentation out under sky and trees. Ohio, as a state, has a very large number of colleges and universities, many of which hold summer schools. This year they will have many new students and visitors brought to them by the Convention in Cleveland. The dates of these summer schools will be as follows: Marietta Col- lege, June 22 to August 1 ; Ohio Univer- sity, Athens, June 22 to July 31 ; Ohio State University, Columbus, June 22 to August 14; Oberlin College, June 26 to August 14; University of Wooster, June 23 to August 14; Miami University, Ox- ford, June 23 to July 31 ; Antioch College, Yellow Springs, June 19 to August 8; Ohio Northern University, Ada, June 9 to August 7 ; and Wittenburg College, Springfield, June 22 to July 31. Pilgrimages to these shrines of learning will be found pleasant little side trips of a few hours for the visitors to the Conven- EPWOKTH MEMORIAL CHUROn. NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION CONTENTION. 13 tion. Many of the college towns may be reached by the suburban trolley and, almost without exception, the college buildings hav'e delightful and picturesque situations. The public spirit, energy and enterprise for which Cleveland is becoming so widel}- known, is at present centered in making the Convention one of the most notable, perhaps the greatest, gathering in the his- tory of that world-renowned organization, which for fifty years has been stimulating, co-ordinating and unifying the educational thought and practice of our country. When the nation's educators assemble at the great city on Lake Erie they will find the reception, convention and hospital- ity arrangements almost perfect. The im- mense and complicated task of arranging for the housing, feeding, convenience, com- fort and enjoyment of the 50,000 expected visitors, already nearing completion, has been reduced to a straightforward system. The 200 members of the various commit- tees, men and women, are as yet hard at work polishing up the great hospitality machine. No better illustration of the interest all Cleveland is taking in the coming gather- ing is shown, than the fact that these com- mitteemen are representative of all the lead- ing walks and professions of life. Many of the city's busiest men, some of them heads of great financial institutions, find time to spend several hours a week at least in assisting to smooth the way for the com- ing of the great educational host. Even the school children of Cleveland are excited over the approaching Convention, and have given very definite assistance in many ways. During the convention there will be two meetings devoted to library work, at which THR CllYAHOUX KIVKII. THE EUCLID CUIB time the local library will have exhibits of class room libraries, school libraries, bulletins, pictures and all printed matter illustrative of library work. In this show- ing, the library chapter of the N. E. A. will co-operate. The Cleveland library will also issue for distribution, a pamphlet describing the work for and among children in which this library excels. It will show how 40% of the whole circulation of books in the Cleveland Public Library is among the children, making an average of nine books each year to every child in the city between the ages of six and fourteen. As only New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia issue more books than Cleveland, these facts are significant. This taste for reading among the children is directly traced to the methods of reaching their interest, and especially the putting forth of efforts to reach the children of the tenement districts and of foreign-born par- ents. The story telling, which all children love, is very stimulating. Some days three hundred children, in groups of one hundred, will gather in the club rooms at one of the branch libraries on benches and rugs at the feet of the story-teller, eager for a fairy tale or the thrilling 'Norse stories or the inspiring Arthurian legends. From thirty-two homes, removed from the vicinity of the libraries, volunteer library visitors issue books to children each week, in addition to the thousands sent out at the school libraries, class room libraries, high school, facton,-, settlement stations, the sub-stations and branches. Every reputa- ble source is utilized for bringing the books into the lives of the children. The Cleveland branch libraries, of which there are nine, are among the handsomest 14 XATIOXJI.

Many of them possess good sized auditoriums and all of them commodious club rooms, util- ized by women's clubs, neighborhood clubs and boys' and girls' clubs for debating and study. The widely known park system of Cleve- land comprises twenty-eight magnificent parks, including 1,700 acres (52 acres in lakes) and threaded by over thirty miles of parkways and boulevards, thus bringing together in one beautiful whole the hills and meadows, forests and wooded dells, streams and lakes that exhibit nature's prodigality of expenditure and man's understanding adaptability of it to the uses and happiness of the great public. The park system extends in a girdle of verdure almost entirely around the cit\ . the extremities resting upon the lake front, east and west of the city. These lake front parks, Gordon and Edgewater, have a very attractive feature in their bathing beaches with public bath houses. They are either of them reached by street car within half an hour from the Public Square. The whole of the valley of Doan brook, a ram- bling stream, having its rise in two large lakes on the heights above and several miles back from the city, has been emparked and makes an elongated park, unusually beau- tiful and diversified, for a number of miles. Wade Park, opposite the buildings of Adel- bert College and Case School of Applied Science is one of the jewels set along this chain of boulevards and parkways. Opportunities for healthful outdoor recreation that visitf)rs may seek are prac- tically unlimited. Among these may be mentioned yachting, boating, fishing, bath- ing in the lake, golf on several fine courses, tennis, American League baseball games, light harness liorse racing, opera at the garden theaters, land excursions to lake shore parks and to amusement resorts of wliich there are a dozen or more within two hours' ride by trolley, and lake ex- cursions to Put-in-Bay and Kelley's Island, Cedar Point and Lakeside. Eitlier coming or going, visitors will rind an easy and gratifying addition to the week of meetings, in a visit to America's unutter- ably grand manifestation of Nature, Niagara Falls. Even a special trip can be made most comfortably. At the Falls, almost every point of in- terest may be reached by the Belt Line, an electric line of cars running at frequent in- tervals, going as far as Queenston, Canada, find Lewiston, U. S., at the latter place making connections with the Toronto boat, il desired. One may return to Cleveland by the night boat from Buffalo or by rail. Frequent excursions by land or by water at greatly reduced rates are given during the warm weather and make it possible to go and return on some occasions for as little as half the regular fares. The scientists, educators and students in attendance at the Convention will enjoy the opportunity afforded to view the won- derful works of nature at historical Put-in- Bay Island, in Lake Erie, but a few hours' ride by steamer from Cleveland. The name of the island dates from 1812, when Commodore Oliver H. Perry, lying in wait for the British fleet, ordered his boats to "put in the bay." On the lake to the north-west of the island, he gave battle and won the victory, which, with his famous message to President Harrison, "We ha\e met the enemy and they are ours," made his name immortal. The Put-in-Bay Island region has been LDNA PARK NATIONAL EDUC.rnoXJL JSSOCI.mON CONFENTION. lo declared by Prof. Ci. Frederick Wright, the noted scientist, to be the most interest- ing on the American continent. The shore line of Put-in-Bay Island, ten miles long, varies between the smoothest sand beach and ragged boulders, plowed by the glaciers of 10,000 years ago. Between these two extremes are gravelly beaches, rocks, rising from 30 to 60 feet abo\e the level of the lake, and various interesting formations that add to the picturesqueness of the scenery. But more spectacular and most inter- esting of all to the average visitor, are the caves, gigantic caverns deep down in Mother earth, where night and dav are PUBLIC LIBRARY- BROADWAY BRANCH. the same, and an almost perfectly even temperature is maintained both summer and winter. There are four of these caves, each different from the others in appear- ance and formation. One has a roof of clear crystal. In others, long, glittering stalacites hang from overhead, and there are stalagmite floors that excite wonder and admiration. These caves have an area of many acres, some spanned by a single arch. Here miniature lakes of cool, clear water are connected by underground passages with Lake Erie, and add greatly to the mystery and witchery of the subterranean caverns. ™ I ^HK^^^^hMb "■-^— W^>^ lam iL^ ^' *- GARFIELD TOMB.

To fully appreciate Boston one must foot it through the older portions of the city, where ancient landmarks are observable in all directions. The Old South Church, standing on the corner of ^\ ashington and Mill streets, which was erected in 1730, is most picturesque. In 1775 the British dragoons, who cared little for the sacred- ness of its walls, removed the pews and used the building as a riding school. The church is now used as a museum and con- tains a rare collection of relics pertaining to the early history of New England. Almost opposite on Milk Street is the site of the birthplace of Benjamin Franklin; while on the opposite corner of Washington Street is the Old Corner Book Store, " used as such since 1712, and which presents a splendid specimen of the dwelling house of that time. King's Chapel at the head of School Street was built in 1749 and is still used for religious services. The adjoining burial ground was the first place for interments in Boston. 1 he remains of Cjo\ernors John Winthrop (1649), John Endicott (1665), W'm. Shirley (1671), John VVinslow ( 1674), and his wife, Marj- Chilton ( lo79), a passenger on the Mayflower," are in- terred here. The Old State House, located on Wash- ington Street at the head of State Street — formerly called King Street — was built in 1713 and is one of the most interesting buildings in the city. It was here that Adams, Otis, Quincy, Hancock and other patriots made their first opposition to ro.\al authority. In 1770 the so-called Boston Massacre took place immediately in front of the building. From the balcony Wash- ington reviewed the entry of the Revolu- tionary army after the siege of Boston. 1 he building is now in charge of the Bo.ston- ian Society, who ha\e stored it with rare relics of Boston of the Colonial period. Faneuil Hall, the Cradle of Liberty," was built in 1742 by Peter Faneuil and pre- sented to Boston for a market and town hall. Its walls have resounded with the stirring words of such illustrious orators as Otis, W^ebster, Sumner, Everett, Phillips and others, and it has been the scene of many receptions and banquets to Wash- ington. Christ Church, on Salem Street, was erected in 1723, and is the oldest church building in Boston. From its tower were hung the lanterns to warn Paul Revere and the patriots that the British troops were to march on Lexington and Concord. UBRARY. BOSTON. GENERAL FEDERATION WOMEN'S CLUBS. 17 Bunker Hill Monument is in Charles- town. It is a granite obelisk 221 feet high, commemorating the Battle of Bunker Hill, fought June 17, 1775. Of the modern points of interest in Bos- ton may be mentioned the Charlestown Navy ^'ard, which is but a few minutes' walk from the monument. It is here that many of our famous warships are dr\- docked for repairs. The Suffolk County Court House, which was erected at a cost of nearly four million dollars, is but a short distance from the subway station at Scollay Square. Near it are the State House and park. The corner- stone of the State House was laid in 1795 by Paul Revere, but the building was re- paired and extended to four times its origi- nal size in 1895 at a cost of four million dollars. Copley Square is the center of the fashion- able residential section of Boston. It is surrounded by some of the most beautiful specimens of architecture, among which are the Museum of Art, containing one of the finest collections of works of art in the world; the Public Library, erected in 1888 at a cost of over two and a half million dollars. The beautiful halls contain, be- sides the large number of books, many rare works of art. Trinity Church, the finest ecclesiastical building in New England, and the new Old South Church, with its great bell tower 240 feet high, are also in this fashionable neighborhood. 1 he Public Garden is but a short distance from Copley Square. It is a beautiful park of twenty-three acres and contains a splendid equestrian statue of Washington. FANEUIL H.\IX MUSEUM OF ARTS, BOSTON The Boston Common, lying north of the Public Garden, containing about forty-eight acres of land, is closely associated with the history of Boston since the first settlement of the town. It contains the Army and Navy Monument. Cambridge, which is about a half hour's ride on the electric car from the center of the city, is known as the University City, containing the well known colleges of Cam- bridge and Harvard. Among the older buildings comprising Harvard College are Massachusetts Hall, built in 1720; Hollis Hall, 1763; and Holden Chapel, 1744. Wadsworth House was used 123 years as the home of the presidents of Harvard, and was at one time Washington's headquarters. Memorial Hall was built in 1874 to com- memorate the ninety-five Harvard men who fell in the Civil War. The entire property of Har\ard University represents more than SI 2, 500, 000. Near the college is Cam- bridge Common, with a soldiers" monument and several cannon captured from the British, and Washington Kim, under which Cjeneral Washington took command of the Conti- nental army in July 1 775. Not far from the elm is the house once occupied by General and Lady Washington, also the house occupied by Poet Longfellow. A review of Boston is hardly complete without including the numerous historic towns which surround it. At Salem, the Roger Williams House (1635), sometimes called the Witch House," is still standing, as are a number of fine old Colonial houses of the se\en- teenth century. At Plymouth, the famous Pl\niouth Rock, the original stone on which the Pilgrims from the "Mayflower" landed, is covered by a granite canopy. IS GENERJL FEDERATION WOMEN'S CLUBS. Other historical features are the Court House, containing: vakiahle records of the Colony, and Piiirrim Hall, a museum of interesting relics. l^exington and Concord claim their por- tion of attention. Klectric cars from Boston traverse the route followed by the Colonial troops on the morning of April 19, 1775. Every part of Lexington is of historic interest. The Soldiers' Monument, on the Common, was erected in 1799. Near it is a large boulder, marking the line of the Minutemen. Many of the houses which were in the town at the time of the battle are still standing. Among them are the Munroe Ta\ern, headquarters of Earl Percy; the old Clark House, where Adams and Hanc(jck were awakened by Paul Revere on that memorable spring morning; Buck- man Tavern, the rallying place of the Minutemen the night before the battle, and which bears' the marks of British bullets. Just beyond Lexington is Concord. Fhe old North Bridge was the scene of the Concord fight. On one side are the graves of the slain British, on the other a large statue of the Minutemen with the familiar inscription : " By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to .-April's breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood. And fired the shot heard 'round the world."

Lender the Oaks of Mamre, when the world was young and wicked, Abraham entertained angels un- awares. Now that the world has grown old and good, as is the manner of some people who become religious when they are too old and tired and weak to be bad any longer, a whole City of Angels"' gladly, joyously, ha-hala-riously entertains sixteen shiploads of fighting men whose business and pleasure it is to make angels of the people who dislike us and show it too plainly. Of all the wondrous, mighty, glorious spectacles that ever drifted over the seas to our coasts, we never saw such a fleet before. You, our guests, meet us with equal wonder and admiration, for in all your Ulysses-like wanderings over many seas you never saw such a town before. We admit it. So far you have sailed along the California coast, and thus far you have not seen a fort; you have not seen a shore battery. We do not need them in Southern California. W^e do not want any fortifications. We do not try to keep people out. We strive to draw them in. Once in, they are ours. Come they in peace or in war, they lie down with the bear, and are gently, sweetly, whole- somely assimilated. They become Cali- fornians. Whether the invader comes in red war paint or perfumed freckle-and-sun- burn lotion, in pri\ate car or tourist sleeper. we do not say as he disappears, 'one Bos- tonian less;" we say, "one hundred and seventy pounds more bear." And then we turn the bear's open countenance toward the next incoming train, or fleet, and set him again. (Loud laughter and applause. J Thus we grow, nourished alike by foe and friend. Everything is fish that comes in our net — in Lent; whether it wear scales, wool, bristles or feathers. When the first great labor disunion struck work on the Tower of Babel, because they couldn't agree on a dictionary, all the delegates came to California. And we have been speaking harmoniously all the tongues of all the world ever since. That's why sometimes our enemies accuse us of talking too much. But we have so much to talk about. We had just fairly begun discussing a plan for establishing a liquor zone with restricted and unlimited boundaries, so arranged that a prohibitionist couldn't find it and a whiskey man couldn't miss it, when you came along. And we shoved the jug under the bed, behind the saddle, till we learned your habits. That's why we put the price of sherry up to S50 a pint for this banquet. Eor we said. If a man doesn't drink, a teaspoonful will be enough to souse him. And if he is liable to drink too much, he can't afford it. And if he has already had too much, when we tell him the price it will sober him before the shock can kill him." ( Laughter. ) As the admiral remarked to me — 'Bob,' he says, "the simple fact is you've had vocal target practice. Talk is cheap where climate's free," says he. Beloved and honored guests of ours, you will never know, for we can never tell you, with all our rich and \aried California vocabulary — and we've spilled a great deal of the English language over you tonight — how welcome you are. We of California know a good ship when we see it. We are all salts ourselves. We have whole deserts of salt in our most productive territory. We use it in the mining business. We may be new but we are not fresh. 20 BURDETTE'S TVELCOME TO THE FLEET. Oh. the seas, how they roar, how they roar.

And a stout little tug towed her back into the slip, with a hot bo.x, melted journal, jammed screw, broken shaft, slipped eccentric, collapsed flue, broken shaft, choked mud valve, cylinder heads blown out, governor thrown off, safety valve clogged, rudder unshipped, And her bob-stay hanging where her spanker ought to be. Back aft, where her spanker ought to be. (Laughter.) We built a ship on this Coast, one time, and she made her trial trip with guns and men aboard. Like Job's warhouse the Oregon "smelled the battle afar ofF," and the white foam gleamed about her bows as she reeled the coast lines off like a trailing log line through the thousands of miles of blue water, going 'to meet the armed men," and lo, when the battle broke at the appointed time, lo, amid "the thunder of the captains and the shouting, " the Oregon roared "among the trumpets, ha, ha!" How the world shouted its applause at her wonderful run. Other ships, under other flags, had run nearly that far and nearly that fast to get out of the fight, but the Oregon carried full steam ahead to get into the fight. And while men admired the sailor men said, Any ship in the fleet could do it." And when men doubted the great Com- mander-in-Chief of the army and navy said. We'll just show you foreign-born Mis- sourians," and lo, here you are — "sixteen ships on the old ship's log, yo, ho-ho, and a bottle of milk' ' — all the multiplied leagues on a schedule timed by chronometers, and Theodore Roosevelt is justified in his boast. (Applause.) The President knew his ships, and he knew his admirals, and his captains, and all of his sailor men. I have heard a naval ma.xim, 'The speed of the squadron is the speed of the slowest ship." We face the world now, shouting, What the best of our ships can do well the poorest can do better." I don't know where the armor belt of a battleship should be — I can't draw pictures — whether it should be high as upper C or down to G below; but I believe this — that the ship that tries to find out, at any range, will never learn. \Ve have lowered every flag that ever fluttered a battle signal at us on the seas, when the only armor belt on our ships was a sailor's shirt, and that was open at the breast!

'stal clear in its smooth rippling, sometimes with its giant breakers tossing in stormy wrath till clouds and water meet, ever changing, yet always the same, with a fascination that the loveliest other scenes of nature can not touch. "C^n the contrary, does one love the study of humanity? A step or two from beach to boardwalk, and there the book of humanity is before one, its pages turn- ing over one after the other, so rapidly that one can scarce keep up with the con- stant shifting and changing of types. If the proper study of mankind is man, then one of the best schools in the world is the boardwalk at Atlantic City. One can en- ter the primary grades of this study and finish its university course without leaving the boardwalk. It is simply a matter of observation, thought and knowledge devel- oping. All sorts of personalities are there, till one wonders how even the ingenuity of nature could ring such an infinity of vari- ety upon the simple human pattern. All characters express, unfold or suggest them- selves, till one sees that the variety of feature is merely a faint sign of the variety of being embraced in wh.Tt we call human- ity. The seven ages of man are there ; oh, how that myriad mind of Shakespeare ATLANTIC CITY, "BRIDE OF THE ATLANTlCr could have moralized could he ever have trod the boardwalk at Atlantic City ! "The life one wishes to lead at this re- sort one can, and know nothing of any other kind of life, unless one seeks it. In this wonderful quality of adaptability it is all things to all men, is one of those things to which we are so accustomed that we take its wonders as a matter of course, and are surprised when some one like the for- eigner quoted, puts it in a new point of view which we suddenly realize is the cor- rect one. It is the most unique, the most varied, the most striking of American resorts — this City by the Sea — this beautiful Bride of the Atlantic." •'IHE MOST UNIUUE, THE MOST VARIED. THE MOST STRIKING OF AMERICAN RESORIS." A Confederate Village in a Union State in War Times By CHARLES L. SHIPLEY JN the great internecine struggle of 1861-65, when the North and the South locked arms in deadly civil combat, many were the heartrending scenes and tragedies of domestic life, when old friends of a lifetime, blood relations, brothers and sisters, parents and children, lovers and sweethearts and even man and wife were frequently divided in their sentiment in regard to their alle- giance to the old flag of the Union, or the new banner of the Confederacy. Such di\ided allegiance," says a promi- nent writer, "could not fail to often result in scenes of the greatest distress, and in poignant sorrow and drea'd extending throughout the conflict. The success of one or the other of the combatants in a great battle, although it might bring its cheer and exultation to those who had espoused or sympathized with the cause of the \ ictor, would often necessarily bring sorrow for dear friends and relati\es in the ranks of the vanquished, and dread that later details would show the death or wounding of some brave boys very dear at heart. ' ' Pikes\ille, Md. , now really a suburb of Baltimore, about ten miles from the city, while not being situated in the vortex of hostilities like many of her sister Southern \illages, and having ne\er been disturbed by the thundering roar of artillery, the roll- ing fire of musketry, the clash of sabers, or the angry shouts of surging lines of battle, yet she was not altogether free of the excite- ment and unrest that affected her sister villages, and the cry of All quiet along the Potomac," was in several instances a mis- nomer, and her citizens were rudely awak- ened from their fancied security when the tide of Confederate invasion rolled north- ward from that historic boundary. Containing the second oldest United States Arsenal (now the Confederate Home), it became e\ ident that as the tension became greater between the two sections of the country, the village would be under the suneillance of Federal troops who would be sent as a garrison for this old post during the progress of hostilities. This surmise proved correct, for after the resignation of Col. Benjamin Huger, who was the last regular army commandant of the old post, before the commencement of hostilities, holding that position from 1856- 61, to tender his sen ices to the Confederacy, the Arsenal from that date forward was gar- risoned by different regiments raised for the Federal ser\ice. At the commencement of the conflict Pikes\ille boasted of a military company known as the Garrison Forest Rangers." The company numbered between forty and forty-five members, and they drilled for a time in the lower room of Mt. Zion Lodge, I. O. O. F. Their musket rack was in one of the small ante-rooms of the lodge, and the writer remembers often, when a boy, the many times he had counted the rests in the rack, there being forty-fi\e of these, one for each musket. The members of this company were more or less of strong Southern feeling, and thinking that Maryland would secede, they seized the Arsenal, calculating to use the post for a recruiting station for the Con- federacy. The federal authorities hearing of this act, quickly mustered in a force of troops from Philadelphia to take possession of the post and hold it for the Government. Ha\ing recei\ed information of this move to oppose them, the Rangers evacuated the post, disbanded as a company, some of its members, including their Captain going South, and others taking no part in the conflict. The first troops to occupy the Arsenal was a regiment from' Philadelphia, known as the "three months' men," they having volunteered for that period. They w-ere succeeded by a regiment from Wisconsin, to be followed in turn by a regiment from Indiana, also the First and Second Mary- land regiments and the Purnell Legion. Pikesville at that period was a little straggling \illage of about a dozen houses, the main portion of them being situated on the west side of the Reisterstown turnpike. All of the triangle now embraced within the boundar>- of the turnpike, the Old Court road and Walker A\ enue, was then an open field, joining the arsenal grounds on the nonh. ^ CONFEDERATE ULLAGE IN A UNION STATE IN If'AR TIMES. 7 IHK OLD ARSENAL. PRESENT CONFEUEKATE HOME, PIKESVILLE. MD. This open field was used by the soldiers as their drilling and parade ground, and although the greater number of the residents of the village and vicinity were of Southern sympathy, yet this did not prevent them assembling on the evenings that the troops had dress parade, and \iew the drill and listen to the splendid music of the bands of the different regiments. The band of the Wisconsin regiment was especially noted for its fine music, and when on parade they would discourse in rapid suc- cession, "The White Cockade, " "Here's to the Girl that Kisses Sweet," "The Girl that I Left Behind Me,'" and always ending up with Dixie" to please their spectators of Southern feeling, they would be greeted with prolonged cheers by the assembled spectators. The Wisconsin men were the favorites with the villagers. They were a splendid body of men physically, and of high moral character, polite in their bearing to all parties and were ever ready to discuss in a friendly manner with friend or foe, the causes leading to the conflict. Among their officers was a young lieutenant, who was an especial favorite with the young ladies of the village, and many a young heart beat sadly when he marched away with his regi- ment. He was shortly after killed in battle, and left many sorrowing friends in the little Confederate \illage to mourn his loss. During the four long dreary years of the conflict, when the news of a great battle would be flashed across the country by telegraph, the villagers would gather at the post office the next morning and impatiently await the opening of the mail, and when their papers were handed to them they would eagerly search for the gruesome head- lines of "List of Killed and Wounded," hoping for the best, yet fearing that the name of some near friend or lo\ed one would be recorded therein, and they would be compelled to return to their homes and break the sad news to an anxious mother, sister or sweetheart. Early in the month of September, 1862, news was received in the \illage that Gen. Robert E. Lee had crossed the Potomac and would give battle to the Federal forces near Antietam. The report proved cor- rect, and on September 17th, news of that bloody conflict startled the little village. There were friends and sons on both sides; for whom should they pray.' How beautiful the country looked around Pikesville in the soft haze of that September morn. But soon there arose on the still air the far-off roar of distant cannon. Throughout the entire day the distant can- nonade continued, sometimes fitful, then increasing in volume like an approaching thunderstorm. The men and women of the village gathered in groups and wondered what was transpiring on that sunny day on the slopes of the distant Blue Ridge. The very silence of the people as they looked away westward was oppressive. Toward night the wind rose and rain fell and the mothers and daughters . talked of 8 A CONFEDERATE ULLAGE IN A UNION STATE JN Jl AR IJAJES.

ANTIETAM BATTLEFIELD. the wounded on the field and their suffer- ings on that field of blood. They perhaps knew that the Second Maryland Regiment would be in the fight and felt they would acquit themselves with honor. It is fitting, therefore, to repeat the tribute that has been paid to their gallantry. The Second Maryland Infantry was one of the regiments that was stationed for a time in the Arsenal. There ha\e been many deeds of heroism recounted of the troops engaged in the battle of Antietam; but those of this regiment equalled the bra\ery of our forefathers. It belonged to the corps of the gallant Burnside, and had been with him at New- bern, and now the duty of storming the tete du pout at Antietam Creek, had de- volved upon it; and never did veterans move forward with steadier step to more perilous enterprise, or one in which the chances of surviving it were so fearfully few. All the bluster, bra\ado and reckless- ness, supposed to be the distinguishing mark of T enfant perdu of Baltimore, had given place to a sober and solemn gra\ ity, in keep- ing with the awful struggle that was pending. There was no noise, no cheering in the ranks; but on the other hand, there was no wavering or faltering as they moved sternly and silently forward into the conflict. The measured and heavy tread of the battalion, falling in dull cadence on the ear, was the only sound audible as it entered the head of the bridge. Suddenly the enemy's cannon opened at short range, pouring upon it a tempest of round shot and shell, sweeping away whole files and ploughing bloody furrows through the ranks. But it faltered not. At the sharp word of command of the officers. "Close up, boys," the bloody gaps were filled and the heroic regiment pressed on. .Standard bearer after standard bearer went down before the iron hurricane, but scarcely was he down, when the standard wrenched from his dying grasp, was borne aloft by his nearest comrade in strife. The way over the bridge was filled with corpses. Most of the officers had fallen. Captain Wilson, of a family that had sent fi\ e brothers to the war, for a moment com- manding the regiment, had gone down, pierced through the forehead by a minie ball. Captain Martin, succeeding him, fell mortally wounded, but there was no check, no faltering or sign of confusion or hesita- tion. With their heads bent, their shoulders a little forward, at the charge step, they moved steadily on until the bridge was cleared and the way opened for the regiments in the rear. It was only when the bridge was won, and room obtained to deploy the column, that the old lusty Maryland cheer, which more than eighty years before had been heard at Brandywine, at Guilford and Eutavv, rang out on the sulphurous air of that dread September day, attesting that those who sent it were the legitimate sons of sires who had fought for freedom and im- mortal fame under Howard and Williams. They were no more forever the despised "Plug Uglies," of Baltimore, but a new "Maryland Line," indomitable as the "old," baptized anew in fire and blood; which had washed away all former trans- gressions. "A great deed," says another writer, "had been done by these Maryland men — a second bridge of Lodi had been carried; but no Napoleon was there to take advantage of the brave and glorious deed. It will never- 10 A CONFEDERATE VILLAGE IN A UNION STATE IN II AR TLUE6.

After the retreat of the Confederate forces from Antietam, e\erything was quiet until the summer of 1863, when the tide of Southern invasion again rolled Northward, as in June of that year General Lee again entered Maryland. Great excitement again prevailed, as the objective point of the Con- federate forces was unknown. A false alarm having been raised that a body of Southern cavalry were in Pikesviile, within eight miles of Baltimore City, the authorities began to fortify by means of barricades composed of casks and barrels filled with stones. The soldiers in the city were quickly mustered and were under arms all night, while several thousand citizens manned the barricades. The next day General Schenck, who commanded the Federal forces in the city, declared martial law, and no person was allowed to leave the city without a pass. This act proved a great inconvenience to many persons who were in the city that day on business, among whom was the writer's father, who was one of the passengers of Mr. Jacob Weirich's coach, that being the mode of communication then between Baltimore City and Pikesviile. Mr. Wierich and all his passengers were compelled to obtain passes before they were allowed to leave the cit>-. The Confederate forces, however, were not moving towards the city, but under the lead of their peerless leader they had deter- mined to grapple with the Federal foe on his own soil, and the terrible three days' fight at Gettysburg was the result. On the third day of that conflict, when Lee opened upon Cemetery Heights with 12U pieces of artillery, paving the wa>' for the fierce onslaught of Pickett's fiery hosts, the roar of that terrible cannonade could be plainly heard in the village, and her resi- dents stood in their doorways and listened, and pictured to themselves the fearful scenes of death that were being enacted in that beautiful valley of a sister state. No one spoke; the children were even mute at the awful sound. Who could fail at its interpretation.' No one thought of charges on that hot, burning day, it seemed as if men must simply be standing still to die, while the sun was baking the white turnpike and burning the overripe harvest. The dull, heavy vibrations of the artillery rose and fell in a thundering cadence as if chanting the funeral dirge of the brave fellows in blue and gray who were going down by the hundreds on all parts of the battlefield. Some of the more imaginative of the villagers contended that they could smell the powder smoke. The next day informed us of the defeat of Lee and his retreat from Gettysburg. After the fight at Gettysburg, Pikes\ille and its vicinity remained comparatively quiet. Sometimes there would be an arrest of some violent Southern sympathizer who expressed his opinion in language that did not alto- gether please L^ncle Sam, with the result that he would be arrested and taken before the commandant of the arsenal, who gener- ally after a severe reprimand, would release the offender upon a promise of future good behavior. 12 A CONFEDERATE ULLAGE IN A UNION STATE IN If'AR TIMES. Sometimes the military would threaten to make a search for arms, and then would be witnessed the secreting of rifles, shotguns and pistols, old relics of all styles and descrip- tions, until the threatened trouble had passed. Some of the owners of the farms ad- jacent to the village complained of losing their chickens, turkeys, etc., and one farmer declared that he had missed several sheep, and accused the Union soldiers of lifting' ' the same, although he never proved the charge. If such, indeed, was the case, we can hardly blame the poor fallows, for they were many times on short rations, and a good fat roasted chicken, or a juicy piece of young lamb, undoubtedly ga\e a zest to an appetite dulled by a continuous bill of fare of hard tack, salt beef and coffee. One of the humorous, yet somewhat gruesome, incidents attendant on the occu- pation of the arsenal, was the complaint of the Union sentinels that the \illagers came at night and threw stones at them. The Philadelphia regiment, especially, com- plained about this annoyance, and on more than one occasion in the dead hours of the night the sleeping residents of the village would be rudely awakened by the sharp re- port of a rifie, followed by the roll of the drum, turning out the guard for a search for the stone throwers, who were never found. This alarm would be repeated sometimes every hour or two throughout the night. A member of this regiment one night met the writer's father in the combination store and postoffice, and complained to him about the occurrence and asked his opinion about the mystery. Quickly seeing an opportunity of having some fun at the soldier's expense, he ex- plained to the soldier that it was no li\e person that threw the stones, knowing that they ran the risk of being shot, but the rest- less spirit of one of the former command- ers of the old post, who died cursing in his quarters, and whose restless spirit roamed the grounds, and it was this phantom that stoned them while they staid there. \\'hate\er the effect of this joke, there were no more complaints about stone throw- ing, and the sleep of the residents was no longer disturbed by the report of the senti- nel's gun, or the calling out of the guard. On Saturday, July 9, 1864, an unofficial dispatch was received in Baltimore City announcing the defeat of Gen. Lew Wal- lace at the battle of the Alonocacy, in Frederick County. This defeat was inflicted upon the future author of "Ben Hur" by the Confederate General, Jubal A. Early, and caused great excitement in the city, as a general advance of the Confederates was expected by the Federal authorities. In a short time the city was again, as in the case of Lee's in\asion, put in a state of defense, and her citizens anxiously awaited the approach of the gray-coated foe, who, however, ne\er materialized. During the days of the 10th and 1 1th, however, a body of Confederates under Col. Harry Gilmor were scouring the country without resistance, sometimes ven- turing so near the city that they could be seen from it. On Monday, the morning of the 11th, they entered Pikes\ille, where they were warmly welcomed by those of Southern sympathy. Such is a brief review of this country vil- lage in war times. After the raid of Gilmor, nothing of any importance occurred to cause excitement to the residents. The surrender of Lee in April, 1865, closely followed by the assassination of President Lincoln, for a brief period caused a ripple of excitement, and in some rare instances revived a vindictive spirit in the bosom of the Northern men of the locality, but the prompt disavowal and expres- sion of abhorrence for the half- crazed perpetrator of the deed by nearly e\ery one of the Southern sympathizers, quickly allayed this last excitement without causing trouble, and the village and its resi- dents again settled down to their quiet routine of life that they had enjoyed before the commencement of the war four years before.

The Maumee Kiver in History Compiled by W. H. MAHER, in G. A. R. Pamphlet T^gjmHE Maumee Valley is rich ■'-^ I.V-- / in historical associations, and at the mention of the name there rise up before us the intrepid George Clark; the ' Blacksnake,' Gen. Anthony Wayne; the calm, careful (jen. William Henry Harrison; the valiant Croghan ; the wily, masterful Pontiac, and the no less shrewd and able Tecumseh. The aboriginees who inhabited this sec- tion were bold, brave, shrewd and with an unusually high order of intelligence. In stature the Miamis were of medium height, well built, heads round, rather than oblong; countenances agreeable, rather than sedate or morose ; swift of foot, and excessively fond of racing. They were, from their position, less exposed to the poison of the whisky keg, and the examples of debauched traders, and retained their ancient charac- ter and customs in greater purity than their eastern neighbors. The Maumee has no beginnings such as we ascribe to the typical river ; there is no bubbling spring, or trickling rivulet, or babbling brook to gradually grow into a broad river. The St. Joseph, from the north, meets the St. Mary's from the south ; these uniting at Fort Wayne, Indiana, be- come the Maumee, and this starts, in bold- ness and strength, for Lake Erie, meeting the Auglaize at Defiance, and entering Maumee Bay five miles northeast of To- ledo, after its journey of one hundred miles. The Maumee was known to the early French explorers as the River a la Roche ; it was also mentioned as Rock River. At a later date it was the "River of the Mi- amis," and then became the "Miami of the Lake," to distinguish it from the Great Miami, or the Miami of the River, which flowed into the Ohio. Colonel Clark, in his journal, 1779, spells it "Meami," which was probably as he heard it called. As late as 1805, Harris, in his "Journal of a Tour" that he made to Ohio in 1803, mentions the river as "The Miami of the Lake, sometimes called Omee, and Mau- mick." The French would, naturally, give the a in the word a broad sound, ah, and this, to English ears, might well sound like Me-ah-mee, and be easily fashioned into Maumee. Indeed, where Harris mentions the Great Miami, he has a foot-note saying it is pronounced Mawmee. The Maumee Valley was very early known to the untiring French explorers — the priests and the soldiers. By this route, with only two short portages, they had ac- cess to the Miami of the south and to the Ohio and to the Wabash on the southwest, and the Mississippi. It is said of La Salle, the discoverer of the Mississippi, that during the years ( 1677-8) he was in command at Fort Fron- tenac, "he appears to have been evolving great schemes for opening up an easy chan- nel of trade to the West by way of the Maumee and the Wabash." Prof. Hulbert, in his Historic Highways of America, says that it was on this river, near the present site of Maumee City, that the first settlement of whites, in the limits of what is now the State of Ohio, was made, in 1679. During the year 1679, Frontenac, Gov- ernor of Canada, sent out a number of trading parties, with authority to erect stores or posts, and to take possession of the country visited in the name of France. One of these parties found its way to the Maumee River, and in 1680 built a small stockade just below the present Mau- mee City. This was an important trading post for many years, but was finally aban- doned for a more eligible location at the head of the river, near where Fort Wayne now stands. On the very spot where the first French fort stood, the British, in 1794, erected Fort Miami. About 1700, a party of traders built a small fort on the Maumee, about where is now Toledo. In 1 739, de Longuevil constructed a road from Detroit to the Ohio River, which crossed the Maumee at the foot of the rapids, and was thereafter used by the Canadians. In 1748, the post on the Maumee was THE MAUMEE RIIER IN HISTORY. 15 rebuilt by the French. In that same year instructions were given the commander at Detroit: "Every attempt of the English to settle at River a la Roche (Maumee) must be resisted by force." Again, in 1750, complaint is made that: "The English, far from confining them- selves within the limits of Britain's pos- sessions, not satisfied with multiplying them- selves more and more on Rock River, and with having houses and stores there, have, more than that, proceeded within sight of Detroit, even unto the Fort of the Miamis." In 1754, Governor Morris, of Pennsyl- vania, calls a note of alarm because of the French making a settlement of three hun- dred families in the country of the Twight- wees (Miamis). In 1760, Major Rogers was sent West, to take possession of Detroit and other French forts along the lake. From Detroit, we are told, the major went to the Mau- mee, and thence across the State to Fort Pitt (Pittsburg). The name of the great Indian chief, Pontiac, will always be associated with the Maumee Valley. This was his home and his stronghold. It was here he planned his treacherous campaigns, and here he came when defeat weakened him. He was the bitter enemy of the English, and his ability and craftiness made him their most formi- dable foe. In 1 760, the war that had been waging in America between the French and the English came to an end through the defeat of Montcalm, on the Heights of Abraham, at Quebec. From 1535 to 1760 — 225 years — the re- g'on of the lakes, discovered and traversed by Jesuit missionaries and French fur traders, was under the dominion of the king of France, and was designated on the maps as New France. But on the 29th of November, 1760, the French flag was lowered at Detroit, and this part of Ohio became a part of the province of Quebec. The Indian tribes saw the English taking possession of the French forts, and they were alarmed. The French had always treated the red men as brothers, had made them liberal presents, and had dealt with them honestly. The English had been cold and harsh, had cheated them in trade, and had outraged their families. These things aroused them to the highest pitch of excitement, but it would probably have passed over had it not been for Pontiac, of whom Parkman writes: "The Ameri- can forests never produced a man more shrewd, politic, and ambitious. Pontiac's plan was to make a contempo- raneous assault upon all the British posts, and thus extinguish the English power at a single blow. By favor of an Indian woman, Detroit alone, of all the chain of forts, was saved, but by the treachery of another Indian woman the fort on the Maumee was cap- tured. Fort Miami was near what is now Fort ^V^^yne, and was commanded by Ensign Holmes, who was suspicious of the inten- tions of the Indians, and was therefore on his guard when, on the 27th day of May, 1763, a young Indian girl, who lived with him, came to tell him that a squaw lay dangerously ill in a wigwam near the fort, and urged him to come to her relief. Holmes forgot his caution and followed her out of the fort. Pitched at the head of a meadow, hidden from view by an in- tervening spur of the woodland, stood a great number of Indian wigwams. When Holmes came in sight of them, his treach- erous conductress pointed out that in which the sick woman lay. He walked on with- out suspicion, but as he drew near, two guns flashed from behind the hut, and stretched him lifeless on the grass. The shots were heard at the fort and the sergeant rashly went out to learn the reason for the firing. He was immediately taken prisoner, amid exultant yells and whoopings. The soldiers in the fort climbed upon the palisades to look out, when Godefroy, a Canadian, and two other white men, made their appearance and sum- moned them to surrender; promising that, if they did so, their lives would be spared, but that otherwise they would be killed without mercy. The men, being in great terror, and without a leader, soon threw open the gates and gave themselves up as prisoners. The end of Pontiac's war came with the arrival at Detroit of General Bradstreet, with reinforcements. The English boats entered the mouth of the Detroit River on the 26th of August, and Pontiac re- 16 THE MAVMEE RIIER JX HISTORY. tired to the Maumee, whence he sent haughty defiance to the Engh'sh comman- der. But famine and misery brought most of the followers to have a sincere desire for peace, and they readily obeyed the summons of Bradstreet to meet him in coun- cil. A deputation was sent to Pontiac, and that chief agreed to lead the nations no more to war, but declared that he would never become a friend of the English. He met General Bradstreet at Maumee Bay with offers of peace, which ended the bloody war. This war has been described as "un- doubtedly the most comprehensive military campaign ever conceived in redman's brain." On the 24th of August, 1765, George Croghan made a treaty with the Miamis, by which that nation was to remain un- disturbed in its hunting grounds. Not long after this, the tribes abandoned their towns on the Great Miami, and removed to the Maumee, St. Joseph and Wabash Rivers. In 1766 mention is made of Pontiac being on the Maumee again, at the mouth of the river, where he is said to have spent the winter, living in the forest with his wives and children, and hunting like an ordinary warrior. In 1 769, he was as- sassinated in the vicinity of St. Louis, Mo. In December, 1778, Hamilton, the Brit- ish commander in Detroit, hearing of Clark's capture of V^incennes, determined to retake it, and heading troops and In- dians, ascended the Maumee from Lake Erie. They recaptured the fort at Vin- cennes, but during the next year Clark retook it and Hamilton with it. In 1780, General Washington directed that the western waters be explored, the navigation of them accurately laid down, and a complete map of the country made, at least "as far westerly as the Miamis, running into the Ohio, and into Lake Erie. For I cannot forbear observing that the Miami Village (Fort Wayne) points to a very important post for the Union." During the Revolution this part of Ohio from its remote situation was but little af- fected by the war. The British employed the Indians to harass the American settle- ments on the Ohio and in Kentucky. These joint expeditions (British soldiers and In- dian warriors) usually organized at De- troit and proceeded in boats as far as they coidd ascend the Maumee, and from there crossed over to the Ohio. The prisoners taken were all massacred, and so much per scalp was paid by the British. We hardly need to be told "their march through the whole region was attended with the utmost consternation." At the close of the Revolution the British refused to evacuate the fort at Detroit, and in 1794 built a new Fort Miami on the Maumee. near the present site of Mau- mee City. This fort is described as situated on a hill which rises abruptly from the margin of the river, at the head of a plain. It was a quadrangle, constructed of large, square logs of timber, laid closely together and notched into each other. At the two most exposed angles were strong bastions, en- filading three sides of the fort. On these three sides the fort was protected by a deep moat, or ditch, in which was standing water. And on the side fronting the river there was a covered way down the steep bank to the water. The Maimnee next appears in history through General Anthony Wayne's decisive victory over the Indians at the battle of Fallen Timbers. As in the Revolution, marauding parties continued to descend from this section upon settlers in Southern Ohio and Kentucky. They were undoubt- edly encouraged by the English, who had refused to abandon either Detroit or Fort Miami after the Revolution. In 1790, General Harmer, an able offi- cer, was dispatched to quell these Indians, with a force of about 1,400 men. He im- prudently divided his army, was taken by surprise, and defeated at what is now Fort Wayne, by a body of Indians, led by Little Turtle. General St. Clair was then placed in command of about 2,300 men, and started towards the Maumee. This army was to march from Cincinnati, Ohio, and erect a fort on the site of Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was not properly supplied ; it was to- tally undisciplined, and there was a bitter feeling of jealousy among the officers. De- sertions reduced it more than one-third. It was ambushed near Greenville, Ohio, and forced to retreat. "In almost every sense it was the greatest defeat suffered by white THE MAUMEE RIVER IN HISTORY. 17 men on this continent at the hands of the aboriginees." A new army was then formed, the Le- gion, and General Wayne was placed in command. While he was drilling this into sliape every effort was being made, at Washington, to secure treaties of peace with the Indians on the Maumee, but their victories over Harmer and St. Clair had made them haughty, conscious of their power, and determined to make no treaty that would not make the Ohio the bound- ary of the United States, and reserve all lands north and west of that for the In- dians. At one time it had been seriously con- sidered to make the Maumee the boundary line of the Union. In 1791 the Secretary of War wrote to General St. Clair: "In order to avoid further wars it might be proper to make the Wabash, and thence over to the Maumee, and down the same to its mouth at Lake Erie, the boundary between the people of the L^nited States and the Indians." In the meantime General Wayne was making even,' preparation for war, and, with his men, was turning his face north- ward. When they reached the place where St. Clair was defeated a fort was erected, named Fort Recovery, and garrisoned. On July 28, 1794, Wayne, with 2,000 regulars and 1,500 mounted volunteers, set out from Fort Greenville for th" Maumee Valley. The Indians were quick to rec- ognize and describe, in their figurative way, the two chief characteristics of Wayne, as a commander — they called him the "Black Snake" and the "Whirlwind" — he was as cunning as he was impetuous. On August first the army pressed on over the backbone of Ohio and down the north- ern slope into the basin of the Maumee River, and encamped beside the little St. Mary's. On the afternoon of August 6, the army reached the banks of the Auglaize, where Fort Laramie was built. On the 8th of August, after marching through five miles of cornfields, where were "vegetables of every kind in abun- dance," the tired Legion came in view of the Maumee, "of which they and the whole nation had heard so much." The spot where they encamped was the site of the present city of Defiance, and here, in the eight days succeeding. Fort Defiance was erected. On the 16th, it being reported that the Indian army was lying two miles above the British fort (Fort Miami), the grand ad- vance began. Nineteen miles were made that day, and twelve the day following. On the 18th the army encamped 41 miles from Fort Defiance, and made a strong entrerchment, which was named Fort De- posit. Here the hea\'\- baggage was stored that the troops might go into action un- erxumbered. On the 20th, at seven in the morning, the Legion advanced in fighting order. The Indian army was stretched across the valley for two miles, in a well chosen position. A tornado had recently swept the forest and a mass of fallen trees offered a peculiarly advantageous spot for the Indians' favorite mode of fighting. Such spots were very common in the old Black Forest of the West, and were generally known as "fallen timber" by the Indians and pioneers. In them cavalry was almost useless. Thus the mounted volun- teers, the Ind'ans believed, would be de- barred from the fight. At 1 1 o'clock the advance lines met. At the first burst of sudden flame from the concealed foe the American vanguard of volunteers were staggered ; the guards on the right fell back through the resulars, . who were thrown into confusion. It was fifteen minutes before order was restored, but when joined by the riflemen and legion- ary cavalry, a charge with trailed arms was ordered, and the savages were pricked out from their lairs with the point of the bay- onets, A heavy firing on the left an- nounced that the battle now was raging there, but this was only for a moment. The Indians began to break and retreated towards the walls of Fort Miami, as if expecting protection from their English friends, but the gates of the fort had been shut, and the English within seemed to watch the outside proceedings with appar- ent indifference. The Indians then poured down the valley toward the present site of Toledo and Lake Erie. In the action the American force was about 3,000 men, and the Indians were in point of number about the same. Most of the savages were naked and covered with 18 THE MAUMEE RIVER IN HISTORY. war paint. They were assisted b}' white men from Detroit. General Wayne remained three days on the battlefield, destroying Indian villages and cornfields on the banks of the Maumee, but before leaving he paraded his force in front of the British fort, that they might see its strength. A correspondence of no very friendly character ensued with the commander of the fort, but that was all, and General Wayne proceeded to Fort De- fiance. Thence he ascended the Maumec to the junction of the St. Mary's and St. Joseph — Manner's battleground — and built a fort, which he permitted his oldest officer to name "Fort Wayne, in honor of the hero of Stony Point." The battle of Fallen Timber was a de- cisive and important victory. The Indians never forgot the "Black Snake," and their power was broken. The conquest of the Maumee Valley awed the savages, and in the following year the cowed and shat- tered nations signed the Treaty of Green- ville, "and since then the Indian race has never been a national menace." In 1805, by a treaty with the Indians at Fort Industr}-, at the mouth of S"'an Creek, in the heart of what is now Toledo, the United States acquired all that part of the Connecticut "Western Reserve" which lies west of the Cuyahoga River. In June, 1796, the British surrendered Detroit to American troops, and also the forts on the Maumee. When war with England was a certainty, in 1812, it was deemed wise to reinforce the garrisons. General Hull, with about 2,000 men, was ordered there. They organized in the vicinity of Ur- bana, Ohio, and their route from there was through the tangled wilderness to the "Grand Rapids of the Miami," and they had to cut their way for about one hun- dred miles through a dense, unbroken for- est. It was expected that Hull should reach Detroit before war was actually de- clared, but from want of energy upon his part the declaration of war found him and his army at the foot of the rapids of the Maumee. Here Hull committed a fatal mistake. He chartered a small schooner then lying in Maumee Bay, on board of which he put a large portion of the army baggage and provisions, together with his own mil- itary chart and all his papers, instructions, plans of the campaign, etc., to be shipped to Detroit. This schooner, while on its way up the Detroit River, was seized by the British naval force lying at anchor opposite Fort Maiden. The loss of this vessel and its cargo was disastrous to the American army; while the possession of the plans of campaign, the baggage and military stones was a most Important acquisition to the enemy. From the mouth of the Maumee to De- troit the army marched through the mud and water of the wretched pioneer roads, in constant fears of attack from the hostile Indians and bombardment from the British. A few weeks later Hull surrendered this army and the fort at Detroit to the Eng- lish. "On an instant the hopes that had sustained the men on the long marches and perilous sallies faded away, and the pent- up feelings of a disappointed army gave way to impotent wrath. Officers in their rage snapped their swords in two across their knees, and strong men by the hundreds broke down and cried like children." General Hull was tried for both treason and cowardice. He was convicted on the second charge and sentenced to be shot. But in consideration of his services in the Revolution, he was pardoned by the Pres- ident. The Maumee \'alley was closely con- nected with General Winchester's defeat and the subsequent massacre on the River Raisin. The surrender of General Hull and his army had placed Northern Ohio again at the mercy of the British, but it was determined to wrest from them the ad- vantages they had gained. An armv was organized under the command of William Henry Harrison and sent to the head of Lake Erie. Advancing as far as Upper Sandusky, he detached General Wilkinson in advance to the mouth of the Maumee. On January 21, 1813, Winchester sent forward a for- aging party as far as Frenchtown (Mon- roe), on the River Raisin, and joined them the next day, having a force of about 800 men. He was attacked by the British 1,000 strong, and Indians,, and six pieces of artillery, and compelled to surrender. "The bloody scene which followed that THE MAUMEE RIVER IN HISTORY. 19 disastrous morning has given celebrity to the spot, far beyond the importance of the event." The massacre that followed the surrender is a foul blot on the military fame of Great Britain. Most of the wounded were collected in one or two houses near the battle-ground. These the savages set on fire, and as their victims attempted to escape from the windows they pushed them back into the flames. The bodies of those slain in battle were left where they fell, to feed the wolves of the neighboring forests. The story of this brutal massacre ex- cited the whole countr^^ and we read that "the enthusiasm for the campaign was very great at this time, and volunteers came in from all parts of the State." Of this movement that ended so disas- trously. General Harrison, in his official re- port, said: "The detachment to the River Raisin was made without my knowledge or consent, and in direct opposition to my plans." After the defeat of Winchester, Gen- eral Harrison hurried forward his army and established himself at the foot of the rapids of the Maumee (Perrysburg) , and pro- ceeded to build the fort, which was named Meigs, in honor of the governor of the State. This fort was nothing more than a line of pickets, with a ditch and high embank- ment of earth thrown up around the en- campment, with round log blockhouses at the salient angles. This afterwards be- came a ver\" important post, and contrib- uted mainly to the defense of an extended line of frontier settlements. Small troops of mounted rangers, and scouts on foot, sent out from the fort, scoured the wilder- ness and kept in abeyance the bands of marauding savages. In the latter part of April, 1813, General Proctor, at the head of a strong detach- ment (over 1,200) from the British army, with 2.000 to 3,000 Indians, under the great Tecumseh, laid siege to Fort Meigs. There were sorties and some severe fight- ing, but the British official report gives the result: "The enemy so completely en- trenched and covered himself as to render unavailing every effort of our artillery." So the British boats carried the army back to Maiden, on the Detroit River, Mav 9, 1813. During this siege another massacre from the disobedience of orders occurred. At midnight on May 4, Harrison received in- telligence that General Clay, with 1,200 Kentuckians, was just above the rapids and could reach him in two hours. Harrison determined on a grand sally, and directed Clay to land 800 men on the right bank, take possession of the British batteries, spike their cannon, immediately return to their boats, and cross over to Fort IVIeigs. The remainder of Clay's force were to land on the left bank, and fight their way to the fort, while sorties would be made from the garrison to aid these movements. General Clay gave the command of the men who were to operate on the right bank to Colonel Dudley, who completely succeeded in driving the British from their batteries ; but instead of immediately cross- ing to the fort, his men commenced a pur- suit of the Indians, were ambuscaded and intercepted when they attempted to return to the river. They were compelled to surrender, and the Indians began the work of massacre. Of 800 men only 1 50 escaped : the rest were slain or made prisoners. Harrison, watching the men running to their own destruction is said to have ex- claimed in tones of anguish : "They are lost! they are lost! Can I never get men to obey my orders ?" The British returned again in July, at the earnest instance of Tecumseh, who had formed a plan for the destruction of the fort, during the absence of General Harrison. The garrison did not fall into the trap Tecumseh had set for it. The Englisli account says: "Either they (the Ameri- cans) had obtained information of the plot, or they suspected the nature and object of the ruse, and we had the mortification to find ourselves utterly foiled in the grand des'gn of the expedition." The British then passed on their way to Fort Stephenson, situated at Lower San- dusky, now Fremont, and under the com- mand of Major Croehan. In the Britisli report it is admitted that the force in the garrison was greatly inferior in numbers to their assailants. Croghan (pronounced Crawn, at that date) was then in his 21st year, and his gallant defense of the fort was highly praised ; he was immediately made a lieutenant-colonel, and the ladies of Ohio presented him a handsome sword. 20 THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. The British army once more returned to Maiden. On the tenth of September, in that same year, 1813, at sunrise, while at anchor in Put-in-Bay, Commodore Perry got under way with his fleet, to meet the British vessels that had been in control of all the lakes and rivers, from the St. Lawrence to the Maumee. This great battle, with its consummate victory, gave the United States the masterj' of the water. The English historian of the battle says : "With the loss of our fleet vanished every hope of maintaining our positions against the enemy, who, already assembled in the neighborhood of Forts Sandusky and Meigs, to the number of 10,000 men, only awaited the result of this action to decide on their future movements." General Harrison was in close touch with Commodore Perry, both before and after the great naval battle. Soon after the victory General Harrison crossed to the Canadian shore, and in the course of a short but brilliant campaign drove the Brit- ish from the northwestern frontier. The victory of Commodore Perry having given the United States the command of the lakes, the British army having been routed, and the Indian confederacy broken up by the death of Tecumseh, nothing of special interest transpired during the remain- der of the war. Colonel Cass was left with a brigade for the protection of the frontier, which he effectually accomplished, until the treaty of peace, concluded at Ghent, December 24, 1814, put an end to all further hostilities. On September 29, 1817, one of the most important Indian treaties ever negotiated in the United States was concluded and signed at Fort Meigs, between Generals Cass and McArthur and the chiefs of the Wj'andot, Seneca, Delaware, Shawnee, Pottawatomie, Ottawa and Chippewa tribes, by which was ceded to the United States nearly all the land which they claimed in Ohio, a part of Indiana, and a portion of Michigan Territory; being nearly four million acres of a country beautiful and valuable, fertile, well watered, and handsomeh' situated. The Grand Army of the Republic n-'/HE Forty-second National ' Encampment Grand Army ' -' of the Republic will be held at Toledo, Ohio, August 31 to September 15. Organized on April 6, 1866, the first encamp- ment was held at Springfield, Illinois, on July 12, 1866, and its ranks in recent years have rapidly been depleted as its members answer the final roll call. The Grand Army of the Republic, sym- bolizes, to use the words of many of its Past Commanders-in-Chief, "the highest type of true American patriotism, sublimated, idealized, crystallized. It has for its object the welfare of the nation and is organized to win \ictories of peace, greater than those on the battlefield, and its ultimate purpose to make fraternity a national anthem, charity a personal virtue and loyalty a national creed. It places paramount value on fidelit\- to country and insists upon equal rights and justice to all men. It has fostered and intensified reverence for the memory of the heroic dead of the nation, and endeavors to furnish a patriotic e.xample to the youth of our cou]itr\ and encourage them at all times in the future to be ready when country calls" ' . For fort\ -one consecutive years the annual reunion of these Union Wterans of 1861-65 lias taken place in some one of our large cities. Tales of battle and adventure ha\e been told and retold around the camp fires, and time has obliterated the stings of bitter- ness and partizanship. The grand parade which was once the star feature of an encampment, will soon be only a memory, for the members are not as young as they used to be. The City of Toledo will entertain the veterans for their forty-second reunion and calls attention to its patriotic history of which it may well be proud. For entertainment it offers unusual side trips by water. It is only sixty miles from Detroit; forty-fi\'e miles from Put-in-Bay; 110 miles from Cleve- land, and round-trips can be made in a day at \ery low rates. It has excellent hotel accommodations and in addition will provide free quarters for members of the G. A. R. of limited means. Booths and information bureaus will be established throughout the citv for the information of visitors. Undicksted ideas from uiule\eloped minds are often responsible for unsound conditions. L'sLXPRtssED appreciation bears the same relation to efTort as undemonstrated affection does to lo\e. There is an extenuated circumstance connected with every fault that we regret. One kind of diplomacy consists of the ability to detect weak places in human character and take ad\antaire of them. Religio.v is too often only the fear of a result, while Christianity is the practice of an example. How deep is the average smile of con- gratulation and good will.' The God of nature teaches us to love our friends and those who lo\e us, need we seek further for a more rational faith.' Pessimism is a moral and mental dis- order that anticipates fear instead of hope, and hides in the darkness of its own shadow. M.ANV a truth has died for want of faith and many a lie has lived without founda- tion for its life. Self possession is the one accomplish- ment that draws the line of reason be- tween judgment and impulse. Only God and ourselves know some things to be right, but is that not enough ; Superstition is a surface state of ignorance allowed to run unrestrained. Even animals do not love or respect those who place unnecessary burdens upon them. The cold morbid temperament of doubt lowers and chills all the en\iron- ments of hope. Re.'vl forgiveness consists of the will- ingness to bur>' a wrong in the gra\e of generosity and forgetfulness. Philosophers are those who can suc- cessfully help others to live in content- ment with what they possess. Duty is the hardest lesson we e\er learn, and a foundation of earnest man- hood is the only basis upon which it will permanently stand. FiN.ANCi.AL crisis are too frequently due to the fact that economical policies have been allowed to pass into the hands of incompetent control.

BALTIMORE, JULY, 1908. No. TO. A Panorama of Natural Beauty Western Maryland from Braddock Heights By T. C. Harbaugh, in Middletown (Md.) Register ?T was Daniel Webster who said years ago, in the days of stage coaches, that in all his travels he had never seen a panorama of natural beauty like that which is unrolled to the eye from Braddock Heights. If it was grand then, how much grander it is to-day since history has added to its fame so much that it is enduring.'' I have stood upon the rocky crest of Lookout Mountain, 2,000 feet above the silvery Tennessee, with three great battle- fields in view and gazed into seven States of OLir prosperous Union. But the view from Braddock to-day eclipses that from Point Lookout. ^'ou look in three directions, the wooded backbone of the mountain cut- ting off one side, while from Braddock the whole landscape is revealed. The brush of the greatest of the world's artists cannot gi\ e an adequate idea of Brad- dock's scenery. From an historical point of view, there is nothing like it in the United States. In fact it fills more than one chapter of the nation's history and peoples, as it were, the present with the mighty men of the past. It is a short glance that reveals the famous spring at the foot of the mountain, where more than a century and a half ago the red- coated braggart halted on his way to doom among the forests of the AUeganies. One can almost see the scarlet coats where the old turnpike now runs, and single out the young Virginian who afterwards became our first President. It was in Frederick that Washington and Franklin first met and ce- mented a friendship that lasted until death. The whole scope of Western Maryland is a historical field and much of it is visible from the Catoctin crest. To the observer looking west, the knob of South Mountain stands out in grand relief. On the wooded slopes of this monarch of the Blue Ridge, McClellan and Lee measured swords in the battle Autumn of 1862. The gorges were tilled with dead and dying till the very ghosts of the old South were driven in terror to their caverns. Run the eye further on and the gap at Harpers' s Ferry becomes visible, a spot made memorable by John Brown's fiasco and subsequent events during the Civil War. Between lies Crompton's Pass, where Blue met Gray in battle and near which is Gapland, the home of George .Alfred Townsend, the greatest of corre- spondents. Then it is a short call to Turn- er's Gap, made memorable by the war, now occupied by the beautiful summer home of Mrs. Pierce, the daughter of the late Mrs. Admiral Dahlgren. A little farther north is .\It. Tabor, also connected with that sanguinary strife. Down yonder, like a silvery serpent at large in the \'alley, flows Catoctin, murmur- ing its song as it sweeps along through dasied fields, beneath a turquoise sky — Catoctin, dear to the boyhood and girlhood of every \'alley inhabitant. Yonder gleam the spires of Jefferson and Myersville, and the homes A PANORAMA OF NATURAL BEAUTY. of Broad Run. (^\er there are Walkers- ville, VVoodsboro and Buckeystown, the latter famous as the home of the Bucking- ham Industrial School. And away off there within the sweep of the eye from Braddock is Pleasant Valley, swarming once with hosts in gray, and Burkittsville within the bloody scope of battle. You can read so much history from this famous point of \iew that you ne\er tire, but drink in the entrancement with the zeal of the ancients, who never shunned the nectarine bowl. Nor is this all. Almost at the foot of Braddock, nestling like a pearl in its valley bed lies Middletown, rich in historic hap- penings. More famous men have passed to fame through its streets than any other town can boast of, Washington, to undying glory on his way to the Mongahela, Hayes and McKinley to the presidency by the pathway of battle-crowned South Mountain. Over the old turnpike below you the rattling stage coach in the days of old carried Henry Clay to Washington and Black Hawk showed his war feathers in front of the Valley Hotel. ^\'e turn once more and far against the horizon's rim, yet distinctly \isible, is seen the depression where lies the field of Gettys- burg, but nearer still is High Knob, the loftiest peak in the valley, and White Rock, around which cluster Indian legends of rare beauty and avvsome weirdness. Turn once more a triHe and frederick, with its shining spires, greets the eye. 0\er there the Monacacy, slipping past the hills where Lew Wallace saved the National Capital, is followed by the trees that mark its course. There is history where\er its silver>' ripples flash in the sun. One cannot look down upon Frederick from Braddock Heights without recalling its past. From the day when her young men went forth to join the Maryland Line under the eye of Washington, to the present, she has occupied an unimportant part in history. While we gaze down upon her white spires, we recall Key, who gave us the Star Spangled Banner," and who sleeps at Frederick, we see once more the armies that marched through her streets to South Mountain and Antietam, we almost see the honeysuckles that cluster over Bar- bara Frietchie's grave and hear the booming guns of Monacacy. Look around once more. ^'ou cannot count the spires out- lined against the encircling mountains' hazy blue and away off yonder rise the Peaks of Otter, wreathed with the legends of early Virginia. All this from Braddock Heights. One may ascend the peaks that tower above Yellow Stone Park, or stand above the awsomeness of Niagara and not see so much. It is Braddock, who, with pointing hand, reveals to one the book of nature rich in legend and history. There is no other place like it in all this land. Men climb to the summit of the Jung Frau to gaze upon ice and snow, a white blank that tells them nothing. The Alps and the Appenines present bare nature with no valliant deeds. Theirs is a panorama of vastness and that is all. But the view from Braddock re- calls much of the glorious past of our country, its beauty, its stirring events, its great men and women and the landscape that encircles the view point. Look where you will, it is ' as fair as the garden of the Lord," one grand inspiring paradise that makes man better and doubly proud that he is an American. Lo, The Summer Girl Bv WILLIAM J. LAMPTON, in the New York Sun Lo, there she stands Upon the mystic, misty line That lies half-way Between the frost and flowers; Her pink cheeks redden in the sun, And vx'ith a ijreeting, smile and nod, She comes to earth upon a blue-bird's wing And tip-toes into June On rosebuds blushing sweet Beneath her dainty tread. Gowned in a garniture of filmy white, Or fluffy pinks, or blues, And every varying tint and shade Of blossom-time. She skims above the green earth's breast. Just high enough to reach mens hearts. She makes the world her own. And man her slave, And as a queen she reigns Upon her hammock throne. Or sits in state upon a hotel porch Surrounded by her court; The ribbons of her picture hat Are rainbow tinted fetters Binding close the glad-unhappy subjects Of her sway ; Her tinsel parasol Is sceptered in her hands, And from its shade she rules A retinue of swains; Down by the sea She walks the silver strand. Where emerald waves break into foamy white And lay their broken bodies at her feet, She murmers nothings to a hundred ears, And gives her smiles to honeyed tongues That tell of manly hearts in thrall to her; The lazy, lambent moon Ivies crescent in the sky For her to hang her witcheries on. And all the little stars, W^ith twinkling eyes that sparkle in the blue. Laugh silently to see This sorceress of the summer-time Work moonshine into mystic spells; The sunshine drops its dazzle in her hair. Her eyes, her smile; The flowers fold their fragrance round her As she moves; The roses lay their leaves upon her cheeks. The lilies on her hands. And everything in sight is hers. She leaves the land To meet the cool caresses of the sea. And Neptune sets a short-robed Queen Upon his billowy throne; The saucy waves come up to kiss her ckeeks And slip away, as laughingly She dares them do their worst; Sunbrowned she stands upon the shore And, gazing outward o'er the blue, She longs for other worlds To claim as hers. Up from the sea To where the mountains touch the sky And bathe their dark green brows In silver clouds. She takes her way, All conquering as she comes. The waving trees Bend down their sheltering boughs To touch her passing underneath; The gray crags soften When she rests on them; The murmurous hum of forest life Grows still to hear her speak, And what she says to any him Who worships her In those primeval shrines Is hidden in the hearts of flowers Where bees may come to gather it And lock it in their waxen cells. She rules the mountains As she rules the shore, Elusive Empress of the land and sea; A flirting phantom. Frivolous and fair; A dream of fluffy pink and white That ne'er comes true; A bright intangibility; A poem writ in petticoats; A fantasy of music, moonlight, love and flowers, .'\ Summer Girl. riiuU) liy Liickej, I oiiyriglit l:H'S, I'assenger Departmfiit. Kaltiiiiore i: Ohio K. R. HON. WILLIAM H. TAFT. PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE OF THE UEPtTBLICAN PARTY. LEAVING WASHINGTON FOR CINCINNATI OVER THE BALTIMORE 4 OHIO R. R. THE DAY AFTER HIS NOMINATION. William Howard Tait . The Republican Nominee for the Presidency of the United States N June 18th at the National Convention of the Repub- lican party of tiie United States at Chicago, Mr. William Howard Taft of Ohio, was selected as the nominee of that party for the high office of President of the United States, by a large majority of votes on the first ballot, and his nomination was conse- quently made unanimous. Mr. Taft was born in a suburb of Cincin- nati on September 15th, 1857, and inherited his executi\ e ability from his father Alphonso Taft, who was Attorney Cjeneral in Grant's Cabinet. After a rudimentary education in the public schools of Cincinnati, he com- pleted college life at ^'ale, from which he graduated in 1878. Going back to Cincin- nati he took up the study of law and gradu- ated from the Law School of Cincinnati in 1880, spending the following year as law reporter on the Cincinnati Commercial. Barely twenty-four years old, he was made Assistant Prosecutor of Hamilton County, Ohio, in 1881, and later ser\ed as Assistant County Solicitor, and in the following year was appointed Collector of Internal Re\enue of the First District of Ohio, serving until 1887, when he was appointed Judge of the Superior Court of Ohio, which office he held until 1890. The ability of Mr. Taft was marked, and when President Harrison appointed him Solicitor General of the United States in 1890, when he was but thiny-three years old, brought him strongly into the lime light as a government official. This office he had held but two years when he was ap- pointed United States Judge of the Sixth Circuit, remaining on the bench for the next eight years. In 190U President McKinley appointed Mr. Taft President of the United States Philippine Commission and Civil Cjovernor of the Philippines, and it was during the next three years that the name of Taft became familiar to every citizen of the country who was interested in the great problem of what was to be done with the Philippine Islanders. In 190i Mr. Taft was brought into Presi- dent Roosevelt's port folio as Secretary of War, which office he resigned on June 30th, 1908, to await as a private citizen, the voice of the people in the November election. The photograph of .\Ir. Taft, accom- panying this short biography, was made by the Passenger Department of the Baltimore iv- Ohio Railroad when Mr. Taft left Wash- ington for Cincinnati, his home, the day following his nomination. It was taken in the new Union Station, Washington, just as the ' Washington-Cincinnati-St. Louis Kxpress" was about to lea\e. As the photograph was unusually clear, the Passenger Department prepared a pleas- ant reminder in the form of a mammoth postal card and sent it through the mails to reach Mr. Taft on his return to Washing- ton. Some little difficulty was experienced in having the \\ ashington 'Post Office accept it under the laws governing mail matter, but the Attorney General's Office passed an immediate ruling for this special case and it passed through with forty-six cents postage, including the special delivery. It is the largest postal card ever forwarded through the regular channels of the Lnited States mail. An idea of its size may be obtained from the photograph taken by the ^^ ashing- ton Star on the veranda of the War De- partment, reproduced on the following page. By fieriiiissioii of Washington * Stur. " THE MAMMOTH POSTAL CARD RECEIVED BY MR. TAFT. William Jennings Bryan The Democratic Nominee for the Presidency of the United States ILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN, of Nebraska, was selected as the .stand- ard bearer of the Demo- cratic National Party at Denver, Colo., in the early morning of July 10th by a large majority on the first ballot and his nomination was made unanimous. Mr. Bryan was born in Salem, Marion County, Illinois, on March 19, 1860. He at- tended the public schools of Salem until he was fifteen years old and then entered Whipple Academy at Jack- sonville, Illinois. In 1877 he entered Illinois College at the same place and graduated valedic- torian in 1881. For the next two years he attended Union Law College, Chi- cago, studying in the office of Lyman Trumbull. After graduation he en- tered the practice of law at Jackson- ville and in 1887 removed to Lin- coln, Nebraska, be- coming a member of the law firm of Talbot and Bryan. Mr. Bryan's public career began when he was nominated for Congress on July 30, iiission of Baltimore "Anieiic.in. " WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN Presidential Nominee of tiie Democratic Partj' taken at Baltimore during the Methodist Conference n May. 19I)H. 1890, and his reputation as an orator was established at that time. He was re-elected in 1892, at which time he made a speech before the House of Representatives which brought him national attention. In 1894 Mr. Bryan declined a third nomination to Congress. On July 10, 189b, he was nominated for the presidency by the Democratic National Conven- tion in Chicago. Mr. Bryan made a remarkable cam- paign in the sum- mer and autumn of 189b, wherein he traveled 18,831 miles all over the country and deliv- ered 592 speeches in 447 towns and cities, covering 27 states. At this elec- tion Mr. Bryan was defeated by Mr. McKinley. In 1900 he was re-nominated for president, but was again defeated at the polls by Air. McKinley. In 1905 he made a tour around the world and as a prominent citizen of the United States was recei\ed with much honor in every country he \isited. The enthusiastic reception tendered him on his return to New York in 190fa is of such recent occurrence as to be distinctly recalled.

SHIPLEY It was night in the forest and night in the camp; And the last rays had \anished of God's day giving lamp. The torchhght's bright flashes on ranks that were rifled, And the hot July air, how it choked and it stifled! We had marched thro the forest many long weary miles And the notes of the bugle still rang thro its aisles. We had challenged the redman in his own native lair, Felt his rifle's hot breath as it reddened the air. His war whoop's fierce warning rent the great forest wide, And revengeful, his bullet pierced our brave chieftain's side. Our army was driven far, far from the field And our wounded commander to his fate had to yield. We watched over him tenderly thro long hours of pain. Hoped for the best; but our hopes were in vain. And bending over his cot his last message to hear To give comfort to hearts which he held most dear: 'We shall know better the next time, who would ha:ve thought it' Came advice from the lips that dearly had bought it. His shroud was the ensign the soldier loved best. Crossed with his sword on his silent breast. And far from the haunts of civilized men Our chieftain's mausoleum a panther's den. Then he whose ad\ ice our general scorned. Read the funeral rites for him whom we mourned. The solemn words rose on the midnight still, And we prayed for the dead with a fervid will. The soldiers in companies said a last "Amen" And the bugles echoed the dirge thro the glen. The moon-beams played over the mountains wide As we left him alone by the wild road-side. * ♦NOTE. — The place of General Braddock's interment can still be seen a few yards north of the old National Road, hclween the fifty.tliird and (ift>'-fourth milestone from Cumberland, Md.. and about a mile west of the site of Fort Necessity at the Great Meadows. Fort Necessity is on the Old National Road three miles from Ohio Pylc. Pa., on the main line of the Baltimore ,t Ohio Railroad. The city of Braddock. Pa., ten miles from Pittsburg, was named after Braddock, A large oak tree for many years stood over the grave of the General, like a lonely sentinel, guarding the dead that lay bcneatlt its spreading branches. It was known far and wide as the "Braddock Oak". Among the private soldiers under Braddock was William Browning, grandfather of Meshach Browning, the celebrated Maryland hunter of what is now Garrett County, and whose descendants are still living in that part of the state. The Brownings at one time owned a great portion of "The Glades" where the rcsons of Deer Park, Mountain Lake Park and Oakland are located. There is a tradition that on the day of defeat (July 9th. 1755) a large lion in the Royal Zoological Gardens, London, who had been resting quietly all day in his cage, rose suddenly, his mane bristling with suppressed rage, and turning bis head towards the western world, stood for a few seconds as if listening to some distant sound, and then gave vent to a number of terrific roars, after which lie settled down as quiet as before. A number of army officers were standing near and one of them remarked to the others that he believed it was an omen of Braddock'.s defeat or death, if not both. The sequel showed that the omen was corrccr. It has always been a matter of comment that the British Government never claimed the remains of Braddock for leinoval to England for re-interment, although he was at that period one of the most distinguished officers in the senice. and of high rank, a major general. Asbury Park n^ — -ss^aN the north Jersey Coast, ^ III fifty miles south of New "\'ork City, lies Asbury Park, one of the social centers of a chain of twenty notable resorts ex- tending from Sandy Hook to Point Pleasant. While it has all the best attractions of the other American sea- side resorts, it has in addition a delightful combination of country and seashore, with three picturesque fresh water lakes, afford- ing all the pleasures of inland boating and canoeing. Its great stretch of unobstructed ocean front is bordered by a wide board- walk or promenade extending along the beach and connecting it with its more sedate sister resort, Ocean Gro\e. Asbury Park boasts of seven bathing beaches of soft clean sand, making sea bath- ing an especially delightful feature. Chil- dren can find a summer paradise here in its beautiful sandy beaches, numerous free pa\ilions and recreation piers which form a popular feature. Every year, in August, special days are devoted to the children; the baby parade has become a feature, and this year a chil- dren's concert and a fairyland festival on separate days have been arranged, not only for their entertainment, but for the delight of children of an older growth. With its front stretching along the ocean, the city has water upon three sides of it. To the north is Deal Lake, which is sepa- rated by a sand-bar from the ocean and ex- tends back into the country. On the south is Wesley Lake, separating Asbury Park from Ocean Grove. Sunset Lake, extend- ing three or four blocks with probably the width of one block, lies between Fifth and Sunset A\enues in the northern part of the city. These beautiful little bodies of water afford safe and delightful canoeing, an ONE UF THE SEVEN BATHING BEACHES AT ASHURV PARK. 12 ASBURY PARK.

The Railroad Situation as Viewed by an Ohio Statesman in 1836 From the SOUTHWESTERN'S BOOK. Washington, D. C, Feb, b, 18.^6. Dear Cush : — The Committee on Roads and Canals has come to a decision in fa\or of a change of the road from Springfield to Richmond, according to the prayers of the petitioners. The report will come in in a few days. I understand \'^inton will make the report. Gen'l C. F. Mercer, the chairman, was opposed to the change. This is a sorry business. It will give me a great deal of trouble. I a\ai!ed myself of the permission of the committee to lay be- fore it a written argument against the change. I shall give the friends of this measure considerable trouble before they are done with it. But no one can predict the result. A report in favor of the change is \ery much against us of course. The same committee has under consideration, the project of substituting a railway for the present road from Columbus to the Mississippi. Gen'l Mercer and Vinton, of the committee, and how many more I know not, are in favor of it. I understand the same subject is before a committee of our Legislature. There is great danger, in my opinion, that the road will be over-laid by one scheme after another. I am opposed to all these experiments, and as a railroad in lieu of the present McAdamized road I have no idea that it will answer the purpose at all. No one can travel on horse back or in a carriage of any description on a railroad, no matter how wide it may be, nor how finished. The steam engines and cars would scare any animal and drive it out of sight. Could you drive live stock on such a road.' No; not within a half mile of it. The few that might escape being slaugh- tered by the engine in its passage through the drove would be frightened and dri\en into the woods, where they would not be heard from again that season. A new road would ha\e to be opened immediately, to accommodate the people on the line. They could not get to market nor go anywhere else in the direction of the road. Besides, how is it to be kept up.' Who is to sup- erintend it.' How long must people wait at the point where the cars start, after they arrive there and are ready to pursue their journey.' Would not the whole affair soon beome a monopoly in the hands of a few enterprising capitalists.' Is not the whole scheme wild and visionary.' The United States will not make this road if the States refuse to take it after it is finished. The State of Ohio cannot therefore proceed too cautiously in this business — this untried ex- periment. In connection with this project, it is said, there is great danger that the States will suffer the present road to get out of repair, and by neglecting it a short time, it will soon fall into decay, so that the resources of the State will be inadequate to put it again into complete repair. It is said by those who have recently traveled on the road from Zanesville to Wheeling, that the road between those points is greatly injured, and now needs very considerable repairs. I hope the Legislature will not permit this. Will you not amend the law so as to increase the tolls. There are to many exemptions, that road should not be suffered to dilapidate. It would be wanton negligence in the Legislature. The Sup- erintendent is a poor devil, I am told. We want a board of public works, with a man just as vigorous and unpopular as Kelly at the head of it. It is a very great while since I had the comfort of a line from you. We have no news here. Since great Britain has undertaken to settle the difficulty between Gen'l Jackson and his cousin, the King of the French, we shall be cheated out of war and the majority in the Ohio Legislature will have nothing to do but attend to domestic affairs. Still we shall be urged to to make large appropriations for national defence, and the next fall elections. Yours with esteem, S. Mason. Have the .\merican people changed their opinions in the last three quarters of a century? The following letter written seventy-two years ago by an Ohio politician in Washington, woukl indicate that about the same questions agitated the public then as now. There is the same antagonism against the railroads, the same fear of monopolies, the same criticism of those in otfice. and appropriations were evidently levied for campaign purposes, same as now, and the foundations were then being laid for the present state and interstate "Acts to Regulate Commerce." — ^d- 16 SCENES ON THE ROYAL BLUE LINE. The Song of the Locomotive BERTRAND SHADWELL in Cork "Examiner" (Ireland) Ho! Ho! Whistle and blow; Cinders and smoke from my funnel I throw. Dinij, Donji, Swinijing along, Leaping and rockini; and roarinij a song. Chill, steep, Pantinji I creep, Skirting the precipice, daring the deep. Hold, steel! Slowly, I wheel ; Look ye not down lest your senses may reel. Shriek, hoarse, Mad with my force; Drunken with speed as I rush on my course. Deaf, blind. Swifter than wind. Shaking the earth as I fling it behind. Stand ! Stare ! Filly and mare. Nostrils dilated and snuffing the air. Plunge, bolt! Clipper and colt; Here is a steed that shall mock your re\olt. Wide, high ! Clea\ ing the sky. Drumming the bridge into thunder, I fly. Clang! Crash! Onward I dash; How the wrought girders ring, hammer and clash. Shriek, hark! Shrill through the dark. Black in the tunnel with ne\er a spark. Speed, fear! Nothingness drear. Oh, but the end might come suddenly here! Keen! Bright! Swift to the light; Day flashes radiant, mocking the night. High, steep. Plunging, 1 leap, Down to the \alleys, e.xultant, I sweep. Ho! Ho! Whistle and blow, Pulling the lexer and letting her go. Swing, heel. Inward 1 keel. Flying the curves as I bend and I wheel. Strong, slow. Upward I go. Ramping the rocks to the death-smitten snow. Strain, hght. Grip the rails tight; Now the grim giant shall show you his might. Blaze, burn, Smoking, I turn; Roaring in triimiph, the mountain I spurn. Shriek! Scream! Downward in steam, Earthquake and thunder and — gone like a dream. Summer Chautauqua Lessons By STRICKLAND W. GILLILAN A LANGUAGE LESSON. HIS English languagf of DLirs is a iiever-ceasint;; objfct of wonder and curiosit)' to the one who noses about among its words and attempts to find some dependable rules for the formation of its variants. For instance : A duckling is a little duck, but truckling does not mean a little truck; chuckling isn't a little chuck, suckling isn't a little suck, buckling isn't a little buck and knuckling isn't a little knuck. A birdling is a little bird, yet hurdling isn't in any wise referrent to a little herd, curdling a little curd or girdling a little gird. Again, a girdle is that with which we gird, though a curdle is not that with which we curd, that with which we herd is not a hurdle and that with which we have stirred something is by no means a stirdle. Stubble is a term meaning an expanse covered with little stubs, but is a bubble an expanse covered with little bubs.' Is trouble a whole field of little trubs.' Is double a collection of little dubs or rubble a bunch of little rubs.'' While crackling means to make a crack- ing noise, tackle does not mean to make a tacking noise, shackle to make a shacking noise, hackle to make a hacking noise, while the noise of packing would never be known as packling. A little cot is a cottage, but a little pot isn't a pottage, a little shot a shottage, a little slot a slottage, a little spot a spottage, a little hot a hottage, a little lot a lottage, a little trot a trottage, a dwarfed drunkard a sottage, a little blot a blottage, a little Scot a Scottage, a little jot a jottage, a little tot a tottage or this little bit of rot, rottage. A little swan is a cygnet, but a little lawn is not a lygnet, a little spawn a spygnet, a little brawn a brygnet, a little fawn a fygnet, and if your bank account is a little o\er- drawn it isn't a drygnet. The young goose is a gosling, yet the young moose was never called a mosling, and the system of government that is a little loose is not a losling. See.? Class is dismissed. H.ARiTiWL misspi:lun(;s. Man\ people spell "exorbitant " with an h," "exonerate" with an "honor," and spell the \erb "lose" with a double o. Almost everybody accents "dec-orous" on a second syllable (instead of the first), which is made "co" instead of "o." Half the women say ex-squiz-it ' ' with the accent on the "squiz, " and it is a rare thing to find anyone who pronounces ' ob- li-ga-tory" with the sole accent on the fir.st syllable as the book tells us to. As a rule they make it ob-lig-atory," accenting the second. It is exceedingly common to hear people, especially country people, say "I'd rather have this as that" — substituting as" for " than." The Pennsylvania Dutch and some other people not so clearly classified, say ^ ou must be sure and be back till noon," instead of be back by noon.' When a rural or illiterate \eterinary tells you a horse has limpin' jesus " he means lymphangitis," and nothing any more profane. Nine people out of ten in casual speech say "I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't," when the\' really mean to express their belief that you will accomplish a certain thing — expressing a meaning opposite to that intended. Some Pennsylvania Dutch and some for- eigners trying to master our language say "whenever" for 'when," making some ridiculous combinations, such as: There's a photograph my brother John had taken whenever he went to town with a load of hay. " A large proportion of persons get all balled up in their use of "sit" and 'sat," as a rule saying "He sit near me." Many persons — even some school teach- ers, say, ' The floorwalker showed Mary and I where the goods were." And how many people say None was left," instead of "None were left," which la.st form is incorrect. Initiatue action is well thouuiit out energy ballasted by brains. No regulation should be so iron-clad, but that it will bend under the pressure of good judgment. Rfsponsibilitv is the only real condi- tion in business life that proves capacity. To cast suspicion without the proper foundation of proof is indicative of the lowest form of dishonesty. The easiest way is not always the best way, and our efforts in the wrong direc- tion do not accomplish much. W'l; cannot undo yesterday, but its ex- perience should, and will help us to do to-day. Faith is the relaxation of doubt, and contentment the recreation of unrest. The best reward of effort is a knowl edge and capacity for another attempt. It is far better to sit still and think than to acti\ely rush in the wrong direction. The generous fire of sympathy for those wounded will strike only on the surface of our own scars. Honesty of expression means only those things that we know to be true. The stock market of commodities not in our possession is always on the verge of a panic. Our infirmities sometimes lead us into paths of virtue that we never knew before. Deception is the sneak-thief of open dishonesty. Let us plead guilty; throw ourselves on the mercy of the court and await the verdict. MisFORTi^NE may be productive of sympathy but it is seldom creative of lo\e. Courage Bv ARTHUR G. LEWIS Though our only friend be memory, And our only faith be fear. Though we see the darkness gathering, And the daylight disappear. Let us drink the cup of nectar. That a kindly fate has sent. While we walk the path of duty In the garden of content. Let us stand not in the shadow. Because the sun must set, Nor linger in the narrow Thorn-strewn highway of regret. The red rose of to-morrow Is but a bud to-day. And the darkening clouds of sorrow. Are but here to drift away. ■"Stub Ends of Thought" in book form, hound in silk cloth (101 pageej, Arthur G, Lewis.
