From the settlement of the colony to the present day, her people have been dis- tinguished for their elegance and taste, and every decade has produced a name that has won its way to national recognition. The sump- tuousness of the colonial life, — which was housed in mansions, instructed by the best English models, waited on by slaves, and amused by the highest art the theatre then afforded, has ])lainly left its impress on the minds of succeeding generations. In whatever proceeds from Maryland is seen that largeness of conception, fullness of design, in either mental or material effort, that evidences the generosity and freedom that have always distinguished her mode of life. Successively has each stage of American development received signal encouragement through the lirains and hands of her people. When life became the price of indepen- dence, lives were sacrificed with the same grace with which they had been lived, and I'iiintcd by /■'. «.

MAYER. when political science was fairly exhausted in the maintenance of a government that presented new and unsolved problems, many of its most serious difficulties were over- come by her men of law. In the growth of American art, — which gave the first strong evidence of existence immediately after the lievolutionary period, — Maryland has held an honorable, if not a foremost, position. But, strange to say, of all the men who, by means of their art, have added some- of both the artistic and the practical sides of colonial life constitutes him an authority of recognized worth. Mr. Mayer was born in Baltimore of parentage combining the traits of the South of Germany and the North of Ireland, people who from their first residence took a solid and recognized standing in the com- mercial life of the city. He early showed a keen perception of color and form and a quick sense of the ridiculous. A love for mechanics developed with the study of art, "^><— J The Old Clerk." Painted I'v F. B. MaviT. By Courtesy of "/)i>ic." what to the fame of their native state, but one has sought to preserve the charming and varied historical life and scenes with which she is so richly endowed. As regretable as this may be, no one has depicted colonial life with truer sym- pathy or ajiproached the task more fully prei)ared than Frank B. Mayer, the artist who for over thirty years has striven to rouse the people of his state to an ai)pre- ciative recognition of the beauties of history that surround them. He has succeeded in many instances, for his intimate knowledge but the latter obtained the mastery under the tuition of Alfred J. Miller, whose pro- minence as an artist, and kindly qualities, had grouped around him a number of devoted pupils. Mr. Miller's training in the French school of 1880 and his subsequent experience as artist of the expedition of Sir W. C Stewart in the then "Far West," gave him great advantages as a teacher and a leader in historical art. He was suc- ceeded as a teacher by Krnest Fischer, a thoroughly educated artist of the Ant- werp and Dresden schools, who, during his .i/.i/.')7..4.\7''N iiisToRicM. rMxrh'h: ri:.\.\h' //. .i/.i )/■;/,•. resilience in llaltimoiv, iin\i^ instnicticm in numerous students. Of these Mr. Mayer was one, and while acting as librarian of the Maryland Histori- cal Society he made the illustrations fur the works of his uncle, ("ol. llrantz Mayer, on Mexico and for the "Twenty Years of an African Slaver." The result of his lalioi- enabled him to accomplish the cherislied wish of actual acquaintance with our ab- origines and as a traveler to know his own country.

Col- lins and others, and lii't;an the practice of oil in pictures of cabinet sizes, either as scenes of familiar life or in subjects of his- toric tendency clothni in the pictures(]ue dress of the last century, an anticipation of the present interest in our colonial life. Of these the jiicture in the ("orcnran Ual- lery, "Doing and I)reaming," "Indepen- dence," "The\'iolinist," "Plato," llenrv ''lav as "The Mill Hoy of the .Slashes," and' "The Open Gate," are examples. In the direc- tion of historic illustration the artist fimnd which town is interestin> injury by replying to this generous and en- terprising oft'er: "The petitioners offer faire as they have done formerly, but never yet performed any, and this house believes that the (ienerall welfare of the ])rovince ought to take place of that sugar plum of all the Mayor's Coaches, w ho as yet has not one." So the expeditious "Stage Line from St. Mary's to .Innapolis and other Cities and Ports of the Western Shore of Maryland," was not established. The Legislature had early made provi- sion for public travel by estat)lishing a ferry in every county in the State except Kent (1658). Kach county bore the expense of its local ferry. In ItJtU an act was passed compelling the counties adjacent to est;ib lish ferries over St. i leorge's. Wicomico and I'atuxent Rivers. The .Assembly was hardly seated at its new capital, KJH"), then "the Town and Port of .^nn-.Arundel," now .\nnapolis, before it voted "that a publique ferry be kept ui)on Severn River at .\nnapolis, for the accom- modation of the ])ubliiiue." .VUen Robinett was apjiointed keeper of the ferry and was required to reside at .\nna]iolis, and for his services was paid '.»,()()() pounds of tobacco out of the public revenues. This ferry was maintained, steam being the motor power, from about IS(il) to LSST, when it was sup- planted by a liridge. The Lxpress was an early colonial device foi- getting i)ulilic despatches throughout the colony.

On .luly HI, \(\'i], a more ambitious traveling notice is given in this same ])io- neer of Maryland journalisni. With the tine cut of a three-masted ship in the left hand corner, the advertisement reads: "For London, the ship Charming MoUie, •lames Creagh, commander; takes in Tobacco at Seven Pounds Sterling ])er ton, consigned to .Mr. Peter Fearon, .Merchant, in London, and will certainly sail by the last of .\ug- ust, having now un board upwards of eighty Hogsheads. .\ny (lentlemen that are in- clined to Freight or go as Passengers nuty know the terms by ajiplying to .lames 10 FROM STAGE-COACH TO RAILROAD.

Mr. Richard Harrison, as early as April 26, 1754, announced in the Gazette that Boats could be had at his house at Nanje- moy, on the Potomac, for passage to Vir- ginia, for those " who were free to go." The delights of stage coach traveling in the middle of the eighteenth century, in that part of the world called Virginia, is set forth in the Gazette of October 13, 1757, by the author of "The Little Book," thus: " To see my Friends some Distance out of Town, In the Stage-Coaeh I toolv a Passage down; Our furious Driver admits no delay. Hurrying liis Cattle too. before 'twas Day. From pleasing slumbers, half awake. I rise: CcUd 's forever present to these Eyes; Ot'liii, throughout my Life one constant Theme, Of her I sleeping or I waking dream. From this blest Vision was I snacht away. To suffer more than I find Words to say; The Travellers were met, and 'tvvi.xt a Brace Of fat old Dames I squeez'd into my Place; A Matron, with a Child, on t'other Side.

What Pen, what Pencil, can describe my Woe? Hoi/iirtli'x creating Hand must Life supply. Or the sad Story, with this Verse, shall die. And, buried on Oblivion's Sable Coast, The Martyr in the Poet will be lost. A Fit of Coughing one old Lady shook. At which a Fit of Scolding t'other took. The Soldier swore, to i)rove his dauntless Heart. Young Master puk'd, and gave us all a Part. The Vintner's Lungs as filthy Puffs bestow, As shameless Clowns emit, with lifted Toe, When they the downward Blast in Triumph push; Doing Deeds to make a modest Heathen blush. If one was sure in each Stage-Coach to meet A Company so sociable, .so sweet, Ere I would trouble them again with mine, Instead of riding One Mile, I'd walk Nine." The Royal Blue has modified the condi- tions of public travel mightily since the day the colonial poet sung the ills of stage coach company; but no improvements have been able to settle the question of stray parcels. It troubled the colonial express- men as it does the modern carrier. An anonymous advertiser on May 18, 1758, announces that — "Some Time in December last, a Barrel of Pepper, without any Mark or Direction, was sent by the Stages from Philadelphia to .\nnapolis, and returned from thence to Sassafras, as no owner could be found for it. The Owner is hereby re- quested to apply to the Master of the Sas- safras Stage Boat for the said Barrel, and pay him the Charges thereon, and the Charge of this Advertisement." There was ample provision along the routes of ve stage coaches for " Man and Beast." January 20, 1757, a colonial landlord sets forth by public advertisement, the ad- vantages of his house in this manner: " Roderick Cheyne. At the Sign of the WHITE HORSES, "in Baltimore County, Is removed, from the old House he formerly lived in, to a very good, commodious, new Stone-House, two Stories High, consisting of several Rooms well furnished, where he now keeps Tavern, being at a small Dis- tance North from the Nottingham Iron Works, (usually called Mr. Lawson's Works,) on the Post-Road from Philadelphia to An- napolis, and is a very good Stage to call and bait at, being nearly half Way between the sign of the Black-Horse, at the Head of Bush-River and Baltimoretown; where all Travellers and Others may depend on good Entertainment and Lodging, Provender for Horses, &c. and everv other way civilly used." The towns were not the only places that set up ferries, but Nicholas Clouds, as early as 1747, "kept boats and hands at Broad Oeek, on Kent Island, to cross the Bay to Annapolis with gentlemen and their horses, and likewise from Annapolis to Kent Island." This ferry that united the two shores was between eight and ten miles in its course. By the year 1778, Baltimore had begun to show the enterprising spirit that has made it one of the commercial centers of the Union, and it now had a line of packets and stage coaches by the head of Elk to and from Philadelphia, and a coffee house was opened on the Point. In the year 1781, Cabriel P. Vanhorne, with Nathaniel Twining and others, established a line of coaches to Philadelphia, and afterwards extended the system to Alexandria, Va. The express was brought into vigorous use at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. People and colonies could not wait for the lumbering stage coaches to bring tidings of the "irrepresible conflict." Wil- liam Eddis, the English port collector, who had witnessed the burning of the Peggy Stewart and her seventeen chests of tea on October 19, 1774, wrote, three days after the occurrence, from Annajjolis to England: "All America is in a flame! I hear strange language every day. The colonists are ripe for any measures that will tend to the preservation of what they call their Fi:nM sta<;h-c<)acii to i:AiLi:i>M>. 11 natural liberty. I t^nolose you the re.solves of our citizens: they have caught the gen- eral contagion. 'EXFKESSKS .\RK FLY- INC FRO.M I'R(tVl.\fE Tt) I'KOVINCE."' .Inly ;"), 1787, a flaming notice appeared in the Mnryhind (lazettc. of "The Eastern Shore Line of Stages from I'hilaiielphia, Baltimore, .Annajiolis and Alr.xamlria. hy way of t'hestertown and Uock-llall." This notice is full of interest and information, and states: ''The proprietors lieg leave to acquaint the public in general and their freinds in particular, that they will run a set of stages three times a week to and from the above places, to commence on Monday, the :^nd day of July next; they will leave Phil- adelphia, llaltimore and .\nnapolis every Monday, Wednesday and Friilay mornings at 4 o'clock, arrive at Chestertown, the same evenings, and will proceed the ne.xt morning to the northward and southward in the respective stages: the northern stage arrives at Philadelphia in the even- ing, and the southei'u stage arrives at P>al- timore and Annajiolis generally to dinner, and the next day dine at .-Mexandria, which is less than three days from Philadelphia to .\lexandria — They start from .Mr. ilich- ael Dennison's ( Jeorge Tavern, in Philadel- phia, Mr. James Young's coffee house in P>altimore, and Mr. deorge Mann's Tavern in .\nnapolis: the boats are very complete, and one of the boat-men will always call at Mr. Young's at the hour of starting. "From Philadeljihia to Rock-Hall, thirty- five shillings, from Rock-Hall to lialtimore and .\nnapolis seven shillings and six-pence, from Annapolis to .Alexandria, eighteen shillings nine pence, each passenger to be entitled to 11 i)ounds baggage, 150 weight baggage to juiy the same as a passenger, way passengers to pay five pence per mile.

That ad- vertisement followed a few weeks later, and referring to the superintendence of her repairs by Capts. Barber and \'ickers. it said: "The greatest confidence may, there- fore, be reposed in the soundness of the vessel, iind the xnfrfi/ of her marliiiK rj/. The accommodations on board and the arrange- ments of the apartments for elegance, con- venience and security cannot be exceeded: and her exterior is extremely beautiful." The next step in the ])r()gress of public travel in .Maryland was the attempt of the State of .Maryland, all at the same time, to construct a railroad from Baltimore to Washington, a railroad from Baltimore to New York, a railroad on the Eastern Shore, a railroad from Baltimore to the Ohio River, a Canal from the Ohio to lialtimore City. They were in part constructed, but it led almost to repudiation of the debt of .Maryland, so tremendous became the finan- cial burdens of the tax-payers. (In .Inly 1. ISiiS. the corner-stone of the I'.altimorr iV: Ohio R. R. was laid with im- ])ressive ceremonies. The road was soon completed to EUicott City, thence to Fred- erick. Md., and thence to Washington. in the Xiitioiuil hifrllii/iiin r of Wash- ington, of March 1^1. is.'ii;, is found the first railroad advertisement in that cele- brated journal of the trains from Wash- ington to Baltimore and vice versa. It read : 12 FROM STAGE-COACH TO RAILROAD. " Railroad Notice. — On and after Tues- day, the 15th instant, until further notice, the arrangement will be as follows, viz. : — FROM WASHINGTON. " The cars will leave the Depot at Nine, A. M., and a quarter before Four, P. M., precisely. FROM BALTIMORE. " The cars will dejjart at Nine, A. M., and a quarter before Three, P. M., precisely." A little later a cut of the cars was in- serted. It looks like a stage coach with a diminutive engine ahead of it. The writer recollects when the approach of the Wash- ington train to Camden depot, Baltimore, was heralded by a rider on horseback with trumpet in hand. He met the train several hundred yards from the station, the engine slowed down, and with repeated blasts of his bugle, the herald dashed ahead on his steed to warn every one of the approaching danger. The early days of steam traveling was not without its tragic events. On Monday, April lit, 1825, the boiler of the Steamboat Eagle, on her first trip from Annapolis to Baltimore, exploded off North Point. A soldier from Fort Severn, Annapolis, was killed, and four persons scalded, and Cap- tain Weems and all of his crew more or less injured. Among the scalded was Henry M. Murray of Annapolis, aged 34, who subse- quently died of his injuries. The explosion set the Eagle on fire but it was extin- guished by the crew and passengers. The son of Captain Weems, a lad of 12 or 13 years, was blown through the sky-light from the cabin, but escaped uninjured. The robbery of express trains and the looting of safes on lightning flyers of to-day had their counterpart in the times when the mail was carried by coach and horse- man. In May, ISllt, an atrocious murder of the United States mail carrier and rob- bery of the mail occurred near the city of Baltimore. On the afternoon of May 25th, the day on which the murder occurred, Perry Hutton and Morris N. B. Hull were arrested in Baltimore, charged with the murder of John Heajis, the driver, and the robbery of the mail. ( )n their persons were found over .$6,000, and in their trunks $10,000. While their trial was pending the pub- lic had an itching that a confession might be obtained from one of the accused, since the evidence was circumstantial, as many laymen believe direct testimony more per- fect. A recourse to obtain a confession was had to a superstitious device. Some of the authorities consented. A room in the jail was draped in black. In the center of the room, on a table covered with a sable cloth, the corpse of the murdered man was laid. His breast was bared to show the fatal wounds, .\round the bier flickered a few lights that cast a sickly glare into the dismal gloom. This ghastly paraphernalia was hid by a protecting screen from the sight of those who entered the room. Without intimation of the pur- pose of their summons, the prisoners were separately brought from their cells in the night and placed before the screen. Sud- denly each was led to the bier and a severe voice, breaking the ominous silence, de- manded that the accused "Lay your hand there ! " while a hand pointed to the breast of the victim. The belief lingered from the supersti- tious past that at this ordeal, when the hand of the murderer touched his victim, the wounds would flow afresh. Hutton was so overi)Owered by the spectacle that he trembled in every limb, and, nearly faint- ing, was just able to touch the body. Hull showed no feeling. Calmly, with a graceful gesture, he laid his hand gently on the breast of Heaps, and steadily looking upon those about him, was the least aff'ected of any. The wounds neither bled nor did the cul- prits then and there confess, for culprits they were, as at the time of their trial they made a full confession of their guilt to -Judge Bland in the United States District Court, and on the 14th of July were exe- cuted in the jail yard. "What hath God wrought?" flashed across the first telegraph line as its initial message. The changes in methods of travel have been as wonderful as the means of oral and written cdmnninication. A hundred years have scarcely ])assed since the announce- ment was made to the public, with a great flourish of enterprise, that it was not quite three days' journey by coach from Phila- delphia to Alexandria. To-day the time is two hours and a half between these .same points; while the ear is intent as it catches the whirr of the dynamo and the roar of the electric car, listening for the clock of progress to strike the approaching hour when the schedule of travel shall no longer mark distances by hours and minutes, but the time between stations shall be told in trices, and that from metropolis to metrop- olis in seconds. THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACES. 1899. THE Anglo-Saxon peo])le throughout the world look forward witii (uhv Itmtoii, New York. l:y iMTiiii>xi.iri nf -(itTlNfi. Notwithstanding these races will only be viewed by a limited few and that few confined principally to the neighborhood of New York City, yet they are the common talk of the Hnglish s[)eaking race, no matter in what part of the world they are located. In iS.'il, the ".\merica," owned by .lohn C. Stevens, .sailed for Cowes, p]ngland, to compete for a cup ottered by the Royal Yacht Squadron for a race around the Isle mast schooner "Brilliant" of 'AU'^ tons. The "America" was a two masted schooner of 170 tons, '.)4 feet long on deck and S8 feet on water line. The "America's" cuji, as it is known, was won on .-Vugusl Lili, LS.51, and was presented by the owners of the yacht in isr)7 to the New York Yacht Chili, with the proviso that it should be offered as a trophy for a race between any challenging 14 THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACES, 1899. yacht of any foreign country with an American yacht under certain specifica- tions, for yachts of not less than 30 nor more than 300 tons, and the competing yacht must come to this country under its own sails. The first attempt to regain the cup and take it back into English waters was made by Mr. James Ashbury, with his yacht "Cambria," in which the latter was defeated. The following summer Mr. Ashbury reap- against the famous " Puritan," but the cup still remained in America. In 1886 the "dalatea," a British sloop, attempted to win it from the "Mayflower" in two con- secutive races, but failed. In 18ST the American yacht "Volunteer" was brought out against the Scotch cutter "Thistle," but the race belonged to America. Lord Dunraven, in 1893, brought over the "Valkyrie" to be decisively defeated by the "\'igilant." It was then that Mr. 5SE,.' S-^^^ peared with the "Livonia," sailing against the "C'olumbia" and "Sappho," in which she was beaten twice by the "('olumbia" and twice by the "Sappho," and winning two races from the "Columbia." Five years later, Canada undertook to win the trophy through the sails of the "Countess of Dufferin" against the "Made- line," but lost both races. Canada tried it again in 1881, with the sloop "Atalanta," "Nat" Herreshoff became famous in the yachting world as a manufacturer of supe- rior craft. The first race was won by the "Mgilant" in .")| minutes ahead; the second in 1(1 minutes and 3.3 seconds ahead, and the last only by 40 seconds ahead. Lord Dunraven, undaunted, went back home and built "\'alkyrie II," but she met with misfortune and was sunk, but in 1895 he reappeared with " Valkyrie III," .1/.1/.7>7.W,7;. ir> ami the L'Xcilenit'iU un tlu- rare cniirsc, it will be remembered, was intense. "Xal- kyrie 111" was beaten three straij^hts by the "Defender," another one of llerresholfs wonders. The race eourse was over- crowded and Dunraven made char<;es of unfairness, which resulted in a lonj; con- troversy and he was expelled from the New York Yacht Club. Since then, until this year, it apjieared as thoujih we were not to have any more of this delightful international sport, but Sir Thomas Lipton, a famous merchant of the I'nited Kingdom, invested some of his numernus wealth in the "Shamrock," which is now irracefully sailin inches, which i)uts only two-thirds of her length on the water. She has a receding bow and over-hanging stern. Her mast is IOTA feet high and she can carry sails aggregat- ing K!,"i()(l s(iuare feet. Captain Charles llarr will be sailing master and there are mine belter. He will have a crew of thirty- fciui- sailors, four quartermasters and a second mate, all .\mericans and from Maine. .\lr.( '.

She will be handled by Cap- tain Aix'her Hogarth, with an assistant commander, a crew of twenty-seven Essex men and eleven Scotchmen. The "Sham- rock" is 1?.0 feet long, 25 feet 7 inches beam, with l:tO feet on the water line and her resemblance to the "Columbia" is mai'ked. MARRIAGE. I'.Y W. .1. I.AMl'TiiN.

What I Saw in It -The Maze of Complicitions Resulting Therefrom, and the Exciting Denouement. BY N. P. RUNYAN. I WAS on the fast express bound for Mt. Zephyr Springs. My ancestors had always summered at Mt. Zephyr Springs, and my great-grandmother had danced with Washington there, a fact which put me in great demand for membership in revolu- tionary and other patriotic orders, and I joined them all upon the strength of my great-grandmother's ''revolutionary" con- duct with the Immortal (ieorge. As I lay back in my luxurious seat indulging that millionaire feeling which always comes in the early hours of vacation, I became aware that my eye-glasses, which were set a little lower than usual upon my nose, were re- flecting objects as we flew along. Moun- tains, trees, houses, men, women, children, dogs, cattle, were all faithfully reflected in my eye-glass mirror. Then I found that 1 not only could see objects without, but also everything and every passenger within the car back of me. It was fascinating, this seeing without being seen. But 1 soon ceased my curious investigations to fasten my gaze upon one particular face. Four seats behind me sat a young lady reading. She was as fair as the morning, with oval face, and .skin like the sunny side of a peach; large, soft, blue eyes, into which I could look as she raised them, now and then, from her book. 0, it was bliss- ful. Who was she? Where was she going? What if she were going to Mt. Zephyr Springs! Suddenly, as we were drawing up to a station in the mountains, I saw her start, and a frown shadowed her pretty face. My glance turned in my impromptu mirror to the angle of the platform, and I beheld a short, stout elderly man, with a smooth, ruddy face, bowing and smiling, and lifting a white helmet in exaggerated manner to my fellow passenger. My impulse was to jump oft' the train and thrash him. What right had he — why, look! there she was pounding as eagerly at the window to at- tract somebody's attention as she was apparently anxious a moment before to avoid it. I looked again, through my little mirror, of c'ourse. Merciful heaven! Florence Mclllvaine! The young woman to whom I had danced attendance for the past year. She had been stopping at a way station, and she did not know I was aboard. I liked her. Rumor had settled a good many things concerning us, although I had never been really seri- ous. I certainly had not committed my- self. But you know how those things go. Then, Florence — I mean Miss Mclllvaine — knew the fair stranger. Perhaps they were intimates. The young women kissed, and then fluttered back into their seats, both talking at once. " U, Nannette! I'm so glad to see you. ( loing to M t. Zephyr early, too. 0, how nice." I caught this between putt's of the engine. "Nannette? Nannette?" I mused. "Not Nannette Van Alstyne?" She was one of the bluest of blue bloods of old Virginia; and rich. My heart sank. Then Miss Van .■\lstyne it was. I had known her brother George as a companion department clerk in Washington. The orticious old duck with the white helmet, when he saw that he was cut off by Miss Mclllvaine, seated himself a lit- tle way behind the young ladies, and by his restlessness I knew he was about to dis- cover himself to them. Why should I not discover myself first? I could then get an introduction to Miss \'an Alstyne, and per- haps shut him out entirely. But. no! I readily saw that Miss .Mclllvaine would lay claim to me, and old what's-his-name would do the gallant to Miss Van Alstyne. The train stopped again. Old what's- his-name came up, and he and Miss Mclll- vaine were introduced. Miss Van Alstyne: "(ioing to Mt. Zephyr, Mr. Burrows?" Ha! Burrows, the Washington banker. Mkss ilclllvaine always had a weakness for bankers. " Yes," bowing, and blandly beaming upon both young women. Miss Van A.: "I'm so glad. Miss Mc- lllvaine is going, also. You'll see her safely bestowed, I know." MY KYI-:- CLASS MIUIHH:. 17 "With great pleasure, I assure ynu. But aren't you going to stup with us?" Miss Mclllvaine: "Aren't vnu going to Mt. Zephyr?" Miss \'an A.: " U, yes, a little later. I want to meet brother ( leorge and family at Cold Springs first." That settled me. Burrows: "We shall ]iine till you come, will we not. Miss Mclllvaine?" (Laughing. I " We certainly shall." ( Laughing.) Mi.ss Van A.: "O. I dare say." (All laughing.) The moving train killed off further small talk to my ears. Mt. Zephyr was the next stiipping place. The porter had gone ahead with the handbags. 1 became deeply interested in a newspaper. As the banker was escorting Miss Mclllvaine forward she caught sight of me, and stood aghast. I sat — the same way. She found her tongue first. "Why, Dick (Juthwaite! What in the world — why — where? Aren't you going to get off at Mt. Zephyr?" "No, iliss Florence. 1 am going on to Cold Springs. I -I am going to meet a friend there." I certainly hoped I was, but I had to go and stammer right in the wrong place. Miss Mclllvaine was vexed, that was certain. With a .lerky little "(Jl" she whisked on down the aisle, for the train was already at a standstill. I sank back in my seat and instinctively glanced into my eye-glass mirror. Miss Van Alstyne was as serene as a June morning. The train arrived at Cold Springs at 11:00 o'clock. I strolled about. At the hotel office, a little later, 1 heard her in- <|uiring for Mr. (ieorge \'an Alstyne and family. "They will not be here till tomorrow," said the clerk. "His little girl has been ill, and that has delayed them." She turned away in disapi)ointment. 1 registered. The clerk watched me by force of habit as I wrote " liichard Outhwuite." " 1 Ijelieve there is a telegram for yoii, .Mr. Outhwaite," he said before I had cross- ed the t's or dotted the i's. It was dated Mt. Ze]ihyi- Springs, and read : " Why did you run away? Storm brew- ing here. He prepared. Will keej) you informed. -Iack (Iii.skv." "Storm!" Thunder! What did he mean? Jack (lilsey was my boon comi)anion. .\ darling fellow. .\ great practical .joker, too. Was he i)laying one on me? I was in 11(1 mood for joking. At one o'clock another telegram came from .lack. " I It) to county seat. he must have seen the look of in- quiry in mine. "He has ordered me to Mt. Zephyr at once. He is angry about something. I wonder — " "What do you wonder?" "0, nothing." A woman's " 0, nothing," means " 0, something." We walked on in silence. She was troubled. So was I. But we were not on confiding terms; and yet I was carrying the license to wed her in my pocket. " I believe there has been treachery," she said, finally, stripping a pine branch daintily, needle by needle. "There is mystery somewhere," I re- plied, with a sigh. "Are you in trouble, too?" she asked, looking up quickly. "It seems so." "Is that why you have to take the freight?" " Yes." We both laughed nervously. We were getting on famously in our mutually miser- able and mysterious way. Hut I was happy. 0, so happy. And 1 kept feeling to see if that license was safe in my inner pocket. At seven we were aboard the freight. Before that hour's ride in the old caboose was over we seemed to have known each other for years. We caught the up ex- press, and at 9:23 our train whistled for Mt. Zephyr. Did I tremble? Didshe?. 0, but she was white ; and so nervous. Then we were on the platform. "Where's the Governor? Where's the (jovernor, conductor?" I heard a familiar voice, crying. It was .lack's. "Governor," growled the conductor. "There ain't no " "There he is. Here he is. How are you, Governor?" exclaimed .lack, seizing my hand. "Glad you are honoring old Mt. Zephyr. Gome right along. Here's your carriage, Governor." Governor! ("arriagel My head whirled. "Where's that scoundi'el ?" This came from a gruff' voice right at my elbow. I be- lieve I jumped a foot. "0," Miss Van Alstyne! This w a pleasure. Will you and the Major ride over to the hotel with the Governor?" The Major was all politeness. He would be pleased. The resourceful Jack introduced them to "Lieutenant (Jovernor Bradford, of Maryland," and we proceeded to our carriage. I heard the old fire-eater in- quire again as we passed through the crowd: "Where is that fellow?" " Hush, papa; not now," came the reply. " H-m-m-m!" We were whirled up to the hotel in fine style. The porches were thronged. Even a lieutenant governor was a sensation that early in the season. The management met me at the doorway. I was the cynosure of all eyes. "■lack, explain this," I demanded, as soon as I could get his ear. " Not now. The trouble is coming. I have piloted you so far. Keep your back- bone. It all depends upon you," was all he would say. After dinner there was a reception. As I passed along the corridor through a lane of people craning their necks to see the " Governor," a cold ooze broke out all over me. I was going up like a rocket, but I dreaded the coming down. I pressed the license there in my inner pocket as a sort of farewell. The reception was progressing. A score or more had been presented when there arose a great commotion at the doorway, and the burly form of Major ^'an Alstyne waded in through a mass of peoj)le. " I denounce that man!" he yelled. " I demand satisfaction." Women screamed. "This is the Lieutenant Governor of Maryland," cried Jack. " What do you mean, sir?" "I don't care if he is the Lieutenant Governor of hell. I demand reparation. He has invaded my household." Sensation. " That man ran away with my daughter this morning." Greater sensation. "What reparation do you demand?" said I coolly, stepping forward. He could kill me now; I didn't care. ■' Marry her, sir, and then fight me." "All right, sir. I am ready." The Major fell back, speechless. He looked as though he would keel over in a fit. He evidently had expected some tem- porizing. "If I have insulted your family l>y any- thing that I have done I will make any .1/)' i:yi:-(;l.\ss .\in:i:iii:. 19 reparation tliat lies in my imwer. Is then' a minister here'.'" 1 asixcd, lookiiifj; aliout the assemlily. A lijentleman si^'nilied that he was a minister. "Where's your lieenst'V" roared tiie Major. "Here," said i, ]iriidiu-iiiti it. "Then vou did run awav witii niv daujih- ter! I'll "" I thought he wa.s going to anniliilate me right on the spot. "No sir. I did not." " Don't deny it, sir. You have enough to answer for now. But you shall marry her." He brought his daughter. She was pale as death, but there was a look in her dear eyes which gave me courage. I took her hand and said under my breath: "I love you, Xannette. Will you marry me? It can all be explained afterward." " Yes. No explanation is needed," she replied. "Courage." "Courage to you," was her brave re- joinder. We were married. "Now go to your room." said the Major, sternly. "Pardon me, sir. This lady is my wife. You will please address her as such," I said, looking him straight in the eye. "Well. I'll be - " "I'ardon me again, sir. lUit there are ladies j)resent. This is no place for such language." Applause, headed by Jack, no doubt. "Well, I'll be . But you'll answer to me, sir." ".At yanker Burrows, she had sud- denly decided to go on to Cold Springs to meet her brother. .\s for .N'annette's sister. Irene, she de- clared she "just could marry a bold buc- caneer like .Jack Cilsey." •lack found it out and made her kee]i her word. MARTINSBURG. WEST VIRGINIA. WKST MIMIXIA was one of the (irst territories colonized in the early jiart of the 17th century. It formed a portion of Lord P^iirfax estates (under grant of Charles 11, king of Eng- land), which originally occupied all the lands lying between the headwaters of the Rapjiahannock and I'otomac liivers in the Alleghenies to the Chesapeake Hay, now broken up into the present counties of I'age, Shenandoah, Hardy, Hampshire, Mor- gan, I'.erkeley, Jett'erson and Frederick. This entire territory was originally in- habited by the Delaware, Catawba and Tuscarora Indians, and the first original settlement by the whites was in 17M2, the colonies coming from I'ennsylvania. It was not until ITTl! that I'erkeley County was incorporated in its present boundaries. After the close of the French and Indian war, in 17")6, the growing colony was left exposed to the incursion of the Indians and French, who had returned to the neighborhood after the defeat of 'Gen- eral I'.raddock. The outrages of the Indi- ans drove many of the white settlers beyond the lilue liidge and almost broke up the early settlements; but in 17<).S the colonies had become quite large, with adilitions from I'ennsylvania, composed of native (iermans or (ierman extraction, and devoted their time principally to stock-raising. They brought with them their religion, custom and habits, being mostly Lutherans, Calvin- ists and Tunkers. Just before the Uevolutioiuiry War, in 177.'iand 1774, numerous conflicts occurred between the whites and Indians, but in 177 4, under Covernor Lunmore, the colo- nists succeeded in making their war against the savages effective. In 177s .Martinsburg was estaldished and named after Col. T. I>. Martin, who was the last holder of the estates of this por- tion of the county prior to its incorporation. The first church built west of the Illue Uidge mountains is still standing on Tusca- rora creek, about two miles from the city. The buildings at that time were solidly constructed of stone, and many of them are still standing, at an age of over l.")0 years, in a s])lendid state of jire.servation. .\niong the early residents were four noted generals of the Revolutionary War Horatio dates, .\lexander Stei>hen, Chas. Lee and Wm. Darke. Darke established the little town of Darkesville, ten miles southwest of Mar- tinsburg, in 17'.)1. At the age of 19 he organized a company of Virginia provincials to join Di'addock in his fatal campaign of 17!")"). Darke was one of the few officers who was left, and during the following fifteen years was engaged in defending tlie \'irginia frontier against the savages. He was a warrior born, and in 178(1 recruited the regiment known as the "Hampshire and Berkeley Regiment," of which he was in command at the siege of Yorktown and surrender of (.'ornwallis on the ll:>th of October, 17S1. At the close of the Revo- lutionary War he returned home and en- gaged in ;igricultural i)ursuits until the renewal of the Indian War in 17!)1, which demanded his attention as far west as the Ohio River and Camp Washington, which is now Cincinnati, after which he returned to his home until his death in 1801. Slavery was introduced into the .State as early as 1788 by Lord Fairfax. Many old documents, still preserved, contain accounts of the whipping post and pillory, which stood in front of the Court House. The old Court House was long since torn away and is now occupied by the new- structure on the same site. ilerkeley County was well represented in the "War of ISlL!," especially at the battle of Craney Island on .lune '22. 1818. Again in 1S44 and LSI"), in the war with Mexico, the valorous deeds of Lerkeley men are recorded. When (m the 17th of Ajiril. iSf,]. Vir- ginia passed the ordinance of secession at Richmond, the foundation of lierkeley County was shaken to its bottom. I'.rave men, descendants of heroes of 17711 and Isli!, who had never learned to be sep- arated in time of strife, found themselves in ojiposite [jositions, declaring war against each other. They diil not fully realize this until on the l-'Uh of .June, iSCil, when Cen- eral .Johnston, in command of the Confed- erate .\rmy of the Shenandoah, marched on .Martinsburg on his retreat to Winchester, after burning the I'.altimore i\; Ohio Railroad briilge at Harper's P'erry. -Johnston was pursued by Ceneral Patterson with his army 22 MARTINSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA. from Pennsylvania, and determined to burn the Baltimore & (Ihio Railroad bridge to check the advance of the Union Army. The beautiful structure, known as the "Colonnade Bridge," erected by the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad as a special com- pliment to the city, was destroyed, and Martinsburg realized then that a bloody conflict was on. General Patterson ex- pected to be reinforced by (ieneral Mc- Clellan, and later on in July (General Stonewall Jackson, anticijiating the arrival of Union reinforcements, went into Mar- tinsburg and aided Jeb Stewart's cavalry in destroying what they could of the P)alti- more & Ohio Railroad stock and thus check- ing the advance nf the Union Army. Jackson partially destroyed J-Sr) locomo- tives that stood in the yards west of the bridge. He afterwards found out his error, for there was nothing to prevent his running the engines to Winchester via Harper's Ferry and down the Winchester & Potomac Railroad. Later on, eight of these same engines had their wheels fur- nished with broad iron tires by the Con- federates and were hauled a distance of 22 miles over the Martinsburg and Winchester turnpike to the latter jilace, where they were put in repair and used. Thirty-two horses were required to each engine to accomplish this feat, and much difficulty was experienced in getting them up the hill through the streets of the city and on the straight road to Winchester. At the same time the machinery of the railroad shops were taken and used in the arsenal in the South during the war. Remarkable as it may seem, nearly all of this machinery and all of the locomotives but one were regained by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company after the close of the war. The man with whom the idea of stealing these engines originated was Col. Thos. R. Sharpe, who was acting quartermaster in the Con- federate army. He was afterwards made master of transportation of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and filled that important position for a number of years. The story of the stealing of these locomotives is one of graphic interest and has been fully told in a former issue of The Book of the Royal Blue. Martinsburg was the scene of several battles— on .June 14, 1863: August 1, 1864, and September 18, 1864, and considering the continual skirmishes in and about the town throughout the entire four years, the damage to the buildings of the city was not as much as would naturally be supposed. Every church and public building, which has stood .since 1864, has been used as a barracks, hospital or stable. The Court House was continually occupied by troops, and many valuable papers and records were destroyed. It frequently occurred a change of military rule would happen in the city several times within a day. One particular instance was when Hampshire Brigade, under Jeb Stewart, numbering about 3,000 cavalry, came into town in the morning only to be driven out at noon by General Kirkpatrick. In the evening Kirkpatrick was dislodged and forced to retreat across the Potomac at Shepherdstown by the Con- federate army. After the war was over Martinsburg again pursued its even tenor. For years its population has remained in the neighbor- hood of 10,000, and it has devoted itself almost entirely to manufacturing: hosiery being the principal product. The town is one of the strongest factions in West Vir- ginia. INDIAN SUMMER ON THE MOUNTAIN. I'.V .lAMKS MIKKIS.

THE WELCOMING OF DEWEY. " See the Conquering Hero Comes." PERHAPS there never was a parallel in the history of the United States when our people were as enthusiastic over their heroes than at the present time. With the home-coming of Admiral George Dewey, the nation's metropolis and the nation's Capital will have the first honors of throwing wide open their doors of hospi- tality to receive with greatest fervor the man who went away from home simply in obedi- ence to orders, and re- turns after winning the highest honors of the American navy. In a de- gree, it was fate which sent him away, yet when a crucial period came and he was weighed in the balance, he was not found wanting. His famous achievement in the Philippines did more to raise America in the estimation of every na- tion on the globe than any other act performed by any man in the past century. There were scoffers enough at home when affairs of the American navy were under discussion, and when the war \yith Spain broke out our apiirehension was great when we thought of the battles we had to fight on sea. The stories of the terrible Spanish armada were as hob-goblins in the minds of all Americans, except perhaps the navy itself. But Dewey dispelled all fears, all the- ories, all precedents, when he sailed from Hong Kong into Manila harbor that May day morning in '98, defying the mines and torpedoes which were placed in the moutii of the harbor opposite Cavite, defying the fort itself, and, giving notice to the sur- prised enemy, proceeded deliberately and with miraculous dispatch to annihilate the greater part of the Spanish navy. Not having finished the work entirely before breakfast, he displayed his Yankee coolness in ordering his men to stop for their morn- ing cofi'ee and then finish it up and make it complete. His great achievement set the pace for all American sailors and soldiers, and each man's ambition was to do something as great if possible. The consequence was a com- plete and decisive victory over Spain. Notwithstanding the fearlessness of this great hero, there now comes a moment when even he must flinch; a moment which coming to many men is their un- doing. It is the moment of realization of great- ness; when self appro- bation is forced; but in Dewey the people have no fears that the most phenomenal reception will in any way change his character or lower him in the estimation of his countrymen. Dew- ey displayed his diplo- macy at the Philippines and at all times since then, so that the people feel no restraint whatever in giving him the greatest welcome that was ever bestowed upon one of their brethren. New York City, the metropolis, fittingly was the first to greet the famous admiral. Characteristic of the man, Dewey surprised the New York reception committee by ar- riving off Sandy Hook early Tuesday morn- ing, September 26, three days ahead of time. The news was telegraphed over the country at once and great enthusiasm was shown in hundreds of cities and towns. The admiral's salute of 17 guns was given for the first time in many years. The two days jirior to thi- formal recep- tion were spent in formal and informal calls of officers of the na\7 and prominent citi- zens. The men of the "Olympia" cleaned ship preparatory to the parade. 77//-; WKlJ-itMIXG (IF DFAVKY. At 1 ci'clock on Thursday aftiTiioon, Sep- tember lis, (lovernor Koosevelt lioanled the "Olympia" and formally extended welcome tctober '1, when he ])r()ceeded to Wash- ington, where another recejjtion was ten- dered him in the name of the nation. AiTivingat Washington on .Monday even- ing at <>.'>( I o'clock, he was esiMtrted to the White House in a blaze of glory, i'enn.syl- vania .\venue wasone blaze of colored lights from the ("ajiitol to the White House. The great night parade moved from the Capitol as soon as a signal announced the arrival c)f Dewey at the White House. As each organi- zation in the marching column reached Four- teenth Street, all canes or flags carried in the march were brought to " present arms;" all lanterns were held on high; while the emjity handed gave the salute with the right hand until the reviewing stand was jiassed. As the jirocession passed, the great mul- titude of on-lookers followed in the wake and marched past the reviewing stand in order to get a glimpse of the great Dewey. On the morning of the od the grand military and naval parade started from the Treasury ISuilding, marching down Penn- sylvania Avenue to the Capitol. Maj.-den. Nelson .\. Miles with .Ailj.-( len. 11. C. Corbin headed the column, followed in order named by the Marine band, marines, sailors. Cavalry band, cavalry, light artillery, siege artillery, mounted escort of citizens, .Admiral Dewey, Officers of the Navy, (lov- ernors of States, and all battalions and regi- ments of the District of Columbia National Cuard. .At the Capitol President .McKinley pre- sented .\dmiral Dewey with the sword of honor which was voted to him liy the last Congress to show the aj)preciation of a grateful nation. And so the great Dewev is home at last. CONDENSED SCHEDULE ROYAL BLUE TRAINS OF THE B. & O. EAST AND WEST. B. & O. ROYAL BLUE TRAINS FROM WASHINGTON. BALTIMORE, PHILADELPHIA AND NEW YORK.

THE RAILROADS OF CUBA. .Mat.wzas, Cvnx. October •;. IS'.i'.i. IF all the railroads in Cuba were i)ut to- irether in a straiglit line the milea<,re would be more than sufficient to reach from Cajie Isan Antonio, directly south of {'incinnati, and the extreme west end of Cuba to ("ape Mai.si, directly south of New nectinjj; its great cities. Each province has a number of lines within its own limits, and in some cases the lines extend into two provinces. Havana, .Matan/.as, and Santa Clara are well supplied with railroads. The large systems are the United Rail- ways of Havana, which connect Havana 1; \M,\\ A1 York City, and the extreme east end of ("uba; and there would be enough miU's of track beside to cross the island three times at its widest ])oint. The exact number of miles of railroad track is l.l.S"). I'nfortu- nately for ('ulia, however, there is no trunk line running through the island and con- with Ilataliano. on the south coast, with the city of I'inar del Kio, and extend through the city of Matanzas to .lovellanos in the Province of Matanzas; the Matanzas Rail- way and the Cardenas & .lucaro Railroad, which reach all points of importance in Matanzas Province and connect it with THE RAILROADS OF CUBA. l.UIMi TO THE FIELDS.

Santa Clara Province, and the Cuban Cen- tral Railway, which embraces all line.s of importance in Santa Clara Province, excepting twenty-five miles of line on the south coast which connects Sancti Spiritus with its seaport of Tunas de Zaza. Santi- ago Province has only about sixty miles of railroad all told, and yet this sixty miles comprises four distinct lines. There is a small road from Santiago de Cuba north into the interior as far as San Luis, with a branch to Sabanilla; the fiuantanamo road running from Caimanera, through Cuan- tanamo to Soledad, and a twenty mile line from Gibara, the principal seaport on the north coast of Santiago, south to the M.)Ki'.\ lU'iCllA.

I'ufrto i'riiu-i|ii' Province has two lines; one running;' from the capital to Xuevitas, its seaport, on tlie north coast, and another which crosses the island from sea to sea, following the Moron Trocha. Your correspondent has crossed this last isolated military line from the Caribbean Sea to the llahama Channel. It is a most interestinji ride. The distance is si.xty-nine kilometers, or about forty- three miles, and the country is perfectly flat. There is a handsome and well con- structed block house every kilometer, with two, three and sometimes four smaller block houses or earth fortifications lietween. (The word is i)ron()unced tro-cha and not tro-ka). In sjiite of the many block houses and constantly running armored trains, and the vigilance of the Spanish soldiers, this trocha was crossed several times. Your correspondent had the good fortune to ride over the Moron Tnicha railroad with Ceneral •lose Miguel Comez, formerly in command of the insurgent forces of Santa Clara, and now civil govern(n- of that ])rovince. It was very interesting to hear his account of how he and a number of companions crossed this wire network one dark, stormy night, with- out losing a man or hearing the sound of a Spanish mauser. AM. I;hl<'l;l. I.uAlMNt.. \1 1. \s I ANAS In this connection it may not be out of place to say something about this fa4nous trocha. The word " trocha" means a clear- ing through the woods. In the States we have usually understood trocha to mean the liarbed vvire entanglement which crosses this clearing. The clearing of the iloron Trocha is less than a quarter of a mile wide and reaches from sea to sea. There are five lines of wooden posts, about live feet apart, lengthwise and cro.sswise. I'arbed wire is stretched from post to post, and back again, crossed and recrossed, until a perfect network or entanglement is formed. It is this network that .\nierican.s have generally understood to be the "trocha."

TlIK "('aniel-Hack"niarke(i a very import- ant e]ii)ch in the evolution of the loco- motive. This peculiar style of locomo- tive was designed and built by itoss Winans of i'.altimnre, Maryland, in IS.'il. makinjj; the name of Winans historical. ]irinciiially from the fact of the radical departure of this style of engine from previous construction. The tirst of these engines had cylinders 17"xjl2," drivers 43" in diameter and weighed about -V) tons. In the later en- gines the cylinders were l!)"x 2'Z,'' drivers lili'' and weighed about '-IT tons. There were other advanced features in construction nf these engines, i. e., in the larger tire-bo.x of a width extending to out- I Ml-: 1 D^s I IN l;i-;«irl, vi; sr in h'K i n ill. Locomotives prior to the "camel-back" were built with cylinders inclined and placed upon the smoke-box. The Winans type low- ered the cylinders in a direct horizontal plane with the centers of the driving wheels, which in those days was considered a retro- grade movement, since the object in placing the cylinders on an inclined plane was to deliver jiart of its force through the wheels as tractive power, but the Winans engines completely exploded this theory. side of frame and a large dome for storing dry steam. Winans also believed in pres- sure and these engines carried a pressure of 1(1(1 pounds which was then considered high. This tyjie of locomotive constituted the standard freight locomotive on the I'.alti- mnre & Ohio Railroad system clear up to the advent of the consolidation engine aliout the year \X1P>, since which time they have been gradually wearing out and lieing des- trnved, until in ISDS the last one was 10 THE LAST OF THE CAMEL -BACKS. completely dismantled and thrown into the scrap heap. Of course, these engines underwent changes in detail which materially altered their appearance during the period of their existence. The cab as originally built was much shorter; the locomotive was equii)ped with pumps for feeding water into the boilers, and the stack consisted of two cylinders in lower ])ortion, one connected to the boiler and the other i)laced ahead foundation patents, which covered the prin- ciple of varying the di.scharge of the ex- haust from the cylinder for the purpose of controlling the draft of locomotive. This practically excluded all other inventors in this field until the expiration of his patent. The fire-box as originally built had the • whole back end open, which was closed with sheet iron doors, so constructed that the whole rear end could be thrown open at the will of the fireman.

At the termination of a trip the cinders were removed by a hinged door in the bottom of the second cylinder. In these locomotives Winans brought out what was known in railroad circles as the variable exhaust, which was used for the i>urpose of increasing the draft on loco- motives. His patent was one of those pjUgine 185, as shown in the illustra- tion, was the first of this class of engines built and remained in constant service from 1851 until 1898, when it was retired alto- gether, after forty-seven years active ser- vice. This is probably the longest record made by any locomotive in existence. Engine 143 was taken off' the Trans- Ohio Division of the Haltimore <& Ohio Railroad ten years ago and put into the shops at Mount Clare, Haltimore. After a thorough overhauling she was used as a THE LAST OF TlIE CAMEL - IIM -KS. 11 switch entwine in Mount ('l;ire yards until her dismantling. She was the last of her race.

Being a level city, Chicago has splendid street railway facilities with rapid transit: the elevated lines running now in every di- rection, besides the electric and cable sur- face lines. Chicago has miles and miles of splendid boulevards that are lined with costly resi- dences of its millionaires. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad com- pleted its entrance into Chicago in 1874, giving it a direct line from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Pittsburg. Upon the completion of the (Irand Central Station, corner Harrison street and Fifth avenue, all passenger trains arrived and departed from that station. wOMi^ ;,'%i^ . ^ ^'iSaHMtKUti' liKAMi ( i.Nl'KAl. M THE "COLUMBIA" VICTORIOUS. " Here's to the men A hard fnuKht fail THK ■'< 'dlumliia" cnissini; the tinishiii^ line () inimiles and :'>4 seconds in advance of the "Sluuiirock," was the ch)sini; scene of the j^reat international yai-ht race in New York waters. Friday, ()ctol)er I'Hth. The wildest denKtnstration prevailed when the American colors crossed the line victorious, but the vanquished yacht was not to be forgotten and received an ovation which merits the jiraises of all true sportsmen. I'p to this time there had been eleven at- tempts to sail, resulting; in tive failures to leave their docks, four unfinished races on account of no breeze, and two counted races, both of which were won by the "Columbia." At !i.21 o'clock on the mornin}? of Oc- tober 2()th the yachts left their moorings off Navesink for the start. The "Shamrock" sailed out under mainsail and jib, and the "( 'o- lunibia" was towed out with her mainsail set. The gray clouds which had gathered in the early morn cleared away and with a breeze lo miles an hour, which later fresh- ened to 20 miles from north-northeast, every indication pointed to the race being decidedly interesting. The "Shamrock" was over the line a minute and one second before the " t'oluni- bia." The yachts made a beautiful picture as they sped away with their canvas out- stretched against the cerulean sky. The "Columbia" carried her spinnaker boom at an angle of almost 45 degrees, and twice an extra jiutT of wind carried the sail for- ward and up until it tumbled over the stay, liut Captain liarr's seamen had it righted instantly. The " Shamrock " had no such mishaj) as Hogarth carried his boom much lower. However. Captain Barr of the "Co- lumbia," adjusting her sails, lifted her bow- out of the sea, until like a greyhound she seemed to be skimming over the surface. They were off, going at a 18 knot clip, leaving the excursion fleets and yachts trailing in their wake, the pace being too fast for them to retain. The Yankee craft was slowly overhauling her adversary. When the "Columbia" had crejjt up within striking distance the " Shamrock " crowded on more canvas, setting a baby jib topsail, and for ten minutes held her position. I'oth yachts were traveling at a rapid rate, and while a stern chase is a long one, as the yachts approached the outer mark the "Columiiia" was gaining , s • ^ n V --r- ~ t^ -^ o -a^ •o •=■^5 ^fc s ■a c r^'?. :?o >i •d c*^ o ■0 1%'-- - d ■d £ "' '■= •:>>=>> 1 =i>§ ■o-a ■a c C' C' ad o O S o o o o S5 > 1 ■an o d ■o-o 4> Hi ■o-o o o o o o a ^ o £ Ji£Q S S o o o So = 2 1^ := „:ffl •!?. ^ i=^ s a cl CO cc m M "^ o s p:5 « ^^«i^a,d .5 5«J-a 0:iiStcS S2 d d^ S^^- CO ccH CQ ca ra ca ca ip^ o o o oo ;^ Cd o o 0.d £« 3 .^ai a; 3i Occ 03 ^ tx-a 3 c o d g5 tccQ Oi ^-h::::^ >■ > > zz O O d o y.M •< ^ - c t> ■o c -a , d O .do oj m to a> *^ • ? s ■ _• , J3 = , , c a d aS^OCa'CK-s ® «~'d -'O h a p" a ^ m'C-^ 3 ~ "if" .

No. 3- WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA. WlTllDrT the Shenandoah Xalk-y, the Colonial and Revolutionary history of our country, as well as the history (if the Civil War would be only fragmentary and incomplete. This lieautiful valley gave birth to the tirst defenders and first presidents of our lieloved land. It was the ]iride of Eng- land, anil its counties, even to this day, bear the names of some of its most illustrious settlers, who were among the blue-blooded land holders of England prior to the Revo- lution. Rut to go into detail with the many his- torical facts concerning this renowned val- ley would require volumes and it is only intended to give some insight into it thmugli the illustrious little city of Winchester. Winchester was formally established in \7-)2, but it was settled as early as 178l!. The name was given by one James Wood, who was an Englishman from the town of Winchester, England. Its name tirst became indelibly stamped in the annals of the great Repulilic when George Wash- ington, then but twenty-one years of agi- and major of militia, was intrusted with the hazardous enterprise of taking a mes- sage from < lovernor Dinwiddle to the ( 'om- mander of the French fort about fifteen miles south of Lake Erie, in Pennsylvania, which territory was then known as the "Ohio Company." Washington made his start from Williamsburg in October, ITo:-!, by way of .Mexandria to Winchester, where he supplied himself with the necessary equipment before undertaking his voyage. It was this tri]) that brought Washing- ton into first prominence. On hi.s return he became a permanent resident of Win- chester, and in IT-")! (lovernor Dinwiddle instructed Washington tn recruit a regiment fur the French and Indian campaign. It would be impossible to relate the story of the French and Indian War, but this much is given to accredit to Winchester the first honor in connection with the fame of the tirst ]iresident. Washington during the seven years' war made his headquarters at Winchester, part of the time as Command- ant at Fort Loudon. In 1758 Frederick County had its first official seal engraved in silver. This seal is in possession of the county clerk of Frederick and is still used for official docu- ments. After the close of the French and Indian War the Shenandoah ^'alley dwelt in peace and plenty, with all the comforts and most of the luxuries of civilization in America at that time. But it was not long before they began to feel their progress being choked by the oppressive laws of England, and when the knot became too tight Fred- erick ("ounty and the whole of the .Shenan- doah \'alley arose as one man tn join issues with the other colonists to strike the blow for liberty. Next to Washington, Major Ceneral Daniel Morgan, the hero of (.'owpens, was hundred for his patriotism and valor and an humble slab in the old cemetery has marked his grave since ISOj!. Winchester became an incorporated town in October, ITTH. Its first newsjiaper apjieared on -luly 11, ITST, and was known as the "Virginia Cazette and Winchester .Vdvertiser." This paper, with the custom of the day, gave out its editions with tlowery editorials on current topics. The second newspaper a])pe;ired in 17SS, known as the "Virginia Centinel" or "Win- chester Mercury," and this paper, with the WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA. true ring of our nuire modern contempor- aries, became a sworn adversary of its rival. The chivalry of our ancestors is particu- larly brought to light by some of the ad- vertisements in those papers. Dancing was the most fashionable pastime. Each of these papers contained advertisements of minuets, allemands, cotillions and country dances, to be held at several of the promi- nent public ball-rooms. The first fire company in Winchester was established in 17S7, composed of vol- of the colored slaves. The old files of the newspapers contain many advertisements oiTering rewards for the return of certain persons of Irish and Dutch descent, who, tired of their bondage, had run away. About the year 1800 Winchester had a population of nearly five thousand. It boasted of several pretentious stores and church buildings, and the population were vain in their fine apparel of silk stockings, knee and shoe buckles, elegant silks and laces and powdered wigs, and the people of IIATTI.KHKLL) OF ul'EvLO.N CHEEK, NE.VK WIXCIlKSItH, unteer firemen. The hostelries or taverns of the town were very ostentatious and all of them followed the old English style in manner of names. AnKmg them were, "The Horse," "The Black Horse," "The Colden Brook," and Winchester bid fair to become one of the most important cities of the new Republic. A peculiar custom and law at that time was in regard to the "Indentured Service." This law permitted the actual slavery of one white man to another, to say nothing the Shenandoah Valley, at large, set them- selves uj) as the aristocracy of the country. It is the i>ride of the descendants of Virginia of the present day to point back to their ancestors as composing the "First Families of Mrginia." With the call for arms again in 1S12, many of the veterans of 1775 buckled on their old uniforms and started again to the front. Singularly enough a son of the famous Daniel Morgan led the volun- teers. 1 1 7.\ (_ •HESTER, 1 IRGIXL 1 ■?, After the War of 1812 ami up to the year IS")"}, Winchester rehi])se(l intn the (luiet enjoyment of its natural ji:ifts. At- tention was particularly fjiven to its mag- nificent agricultural and stock farming, and then came the first indications of the great strife that was to retard the growth of the city and devastate the lit-autiful valley. The first rumblings of trouble came from farther down the valley, when John Brown and his followers were creating such consternation in the neighborhood of Charlestown and pletely devastated this beautiful country. The first battle of note at Winchester occurred May 2"), 1862, between t; iJut ilis here jj,aiiU' of ('hris'mas, he-jeel it's got me caught 1 I heard de kids a-chewin' de rags aliout a guv- Wat tum'les down de chimliley w'en no one else ain't nigh.

THE importance of the International Com- mercial Congress, which convened in Philadelphia on Thursday, October 12, is hardly ajijireciated at the present time, except by the delegates in attendance or perhaps by the commercial interests of Philadelphia; but the fruits of the gather- ing will not be long in drawing the atten- tion of the entire business world. When it is to be considered that for the first time in history representative business men of each of the governments on the globe were officially sent to our country by their respective governments to learn our business methods and to become acquainted with the products and manufactures of this country, and in turn to impart such infor- mation concerning their own country, which would be valuable to the United States, such a convention assumes an importance which commands attention and serious thought by the manufacturer of America. It was a convention in time of peace for the promotion of prosperity. It was a gathering of selected business men of the world; men who not only had the respect of their individual communities, but recog- nized by the head of their government. Intelligent men of ability necessarily were selected to learn every possible busi- ness method this country pursues, acquaint themselves especially in regard to its exports, and returning home to report the results of their investigation. The convention, which lasted until No- vember 1, will be a greater power to bring about good feeling among the nations of the earth than perhaps any other possible means, simply because nations which are on good business footing with each other are apt to be the greatest friends. Therefore it might be considered that the Interna- tional Commercial Congress at Philadelphia was of greater import than the Peace ("on- gress at The Hague, because the first men- tidued was a success and the latter could hardly be called so. The opportunity given our country to explain to other nations our abilities in a business way was a most im- purtant one. The congress convened under the aus- pices of the Philadelphia Commercial Mu- seum, at a time when the Exposition of American Exjiorts was in operation at I'hila- deli)hia. During the session of the congress im- portant addresses were delivered by the representatives of England, i lermany, Aus- tralasia, Canada, Australia. China, Russia, Austria, -Japan, Spain, Mexico, Argentine Republic and Brazil, and during the busi- ness discussions which followed, the repre- sentatives of Belgium, Bolivia, Central America, Ceylon, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, France, Greece, (iuiana, Hawaii, India, Italy, Liberia, Madeira, Norway. Par- aguay, Peru, Portugal, Rnumania, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom, Venezuela, and The Islands of The West Indies took active interest. Expressions of opinions, exchanges of statistics and a general discussion of var- ious business propositions occupied the three weeks with never fagging interest. Of course, there is no way to measure di- rectly the value of the convention, but one thing is assured that every delegate who attended the convention has gone away feeling that it was good to be there, and this country has the satisfaction of knowing our foreign friends have been supplied with all the information as to our manufactures. On Saturday, October 21, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad enjoyed the pleasure of escorting two hundred of the delegates over its line from Philadelphia to Washington and return, to pay their respects to President McKinley. The special train of Royal Blue Line coaches tendered the party by Mr. D. B. Martin, JIanager Passenger Traffic and accom])anied by him, left Philadelphia at ;t o'clock A. M. At Washington carriages were awaiting the party and they were driven to the Capi- tol and were escorted throughout the fam- ous building, which impressed them with natural interest as the place where the laws of our great government are formed. The Congressional Library was next visited and the entire party were photographed at the entrance, that each delegate could take home an interesting souvenir. The mag- nificent library proved U> them that we recognized no other nation superior to us in architecture. From thence they were driven to the Arlington Hotel for luncheon, and at three o'clock each individual in the party was ])resented personally to President McKinley.

All possible expedition was used in laying down the rails, and by the fir.st of liecember, 1S:14, the entire line, from ISaltimore to the eastern abutments of Wagers Bridge, opposite the town of Harper's Ferry was opened with appropriate formality for general use. " The views heretofore expressed by the Hoard of Directors, in regard to the busi- ness that would be created by the road along its course, have been fully realized: and there is daily evidence that its advant- ages are not confined to its termini alone, as was once .supposed would be the case, but that these advantages will extend to the country on either side. The increase of the receipts of the transportation depart- ment is the best criterion liy which to judge of the value of the work, as well to the public as to the stockholders: and Ijy refer- ing to the report of the proper officer it will be found that the receipts of the pres- ent year exceed those of last year by the sum of $;"'>7.931.G2 while the expenses have only increased $23,341.

The gro.ss revenue of the year end- ing October 1, IS:!.",. is .t2G3,3(;s.l(J: the expenses for the same period are .$1 ■")(:'), 204.- 311, leaving a net revenue of $107, lrevented its being adojited: so that without any thing to guide them, the Hoard of Directors haense with the use of steam, and keeji up a stock of horses for the distani'c in (juesticin. "When thus advi'rting to what has been accomplished in the improvement of the locomotive engines (d' the Company, it would ill become the Hoard to omit Jiaying a tribute (if merited respect to the memory of Phiiu'as Davis, the lamented individual who sii lai' per 100 pounds (while the rates from Philadelphia to Pittsburg now are :-)9-S3-2S-i;i-l()-l.'-! classes in cents per 100 pounds!, in all probability very reasonable then. From Pittsburg they were shipjied by Ohio river steamer to St. Louis and thence to Fort Madison, Iowa, by the St. Louis and St. Paul steamboat lines, at $1.7") ])er 100 pounds. .\t that time it took about a month to make such a tri]i and also a month to get goods from Phila(leli)hia to this jxiint. This is only one instance of many; others, with jjrobably more difficulties than this particular case, taking greater length of time, often resulting in loss of goods and sometimes loss of lives. THE OLD-FASHIONED CHRISTMAS DINNER. BY WILL CARLETON. IN FRANK LESLIE'S POPULAR MONTHLY, DECEMBER. ONE or-fashioned Chris' mas dinner's wutli a dozen no\v-a-days, That's delivered by instalments, in the sleek new-fangled ways. Take me back, almanac! to the time when sev'ral "courses" Come together in a bunch, an' united all their forces ! 'Twas a time when, j'ined together, old an' young, an' saint an' sinner. Could be found all gathered round one old-fashioned Chris'mas dinner ! [Thus said Ahab Adams, merchant, from a stress of thought to free him, To his brother Shubal Adams, who had come from Maine to see him.] Oft 1 think that dinner over — how once more I'd like to try it! But, you see, it can't be managed; all my money wouldn't buy it. Can't fetch back the old-time frame-work; can't arrange the proper meetin" Most of all the folks I'd ask here, long ago has quit their eatin'. First I'd want a slice o' winter that would fetch out what was in you: Air a haft o' glitterin' blades sharp as if they meant to skin you; Froze-up cloud-boats Bear the hills, tryin' hard to make a landin'. Trees with snow-white blankets on, sleepin', like the bosses, standin'; Fences peakin' through the drifts, clear plate-glass across the river — All the chimneys breathin' steam crawlin' upward with a shiver: Sun a yellow chunk of ice; failed to furnish any heatin', An' remains for nothin', 'cept to be present at the meetin'; Critters in the barn sharp-set as they was before you fed 'em ; Snow an' frost unusual sassy— yell out ev'ry time you tread 'em. That would be a val'ble mornin', wuth the trouble of appr'isin' ! Glad that Chris'mas happened 'round, on a day so appetizin' ! Then I'd want our Dad on deck— up an' down as last year's cider — Made us toe the mark, you know— but a fust-class good provider. When he slung his banner out— "Come an' hev a Chris'mas dinner," Ev'ry one that got the word knowed his stomach was a winner. How they hus'led through the snow! — horses kep' their bells a-ringin', Runners creakin' like a sign — gals a-cacklin' an' a-singin'; or folks wrapped up double-bulk — baby-bundles half a dozen — Dogs that wouldn't have thanked the dogs of the king to call 'em cousin! So I'd hev 'em come an' come, ere the morning hour was through with; Come in wagon-loads on runners— more than we knowed what to do with! Mother — wouldn't 1 liev her there?- would I ? well, somehow or other, I hain't learned so I kin speak stiddy yet, enncernin" Mother. 1 See times that I would y;ive half my days of growin' older. For a half an hour of her. with her gray head on my shoulder. [Thus said .\hab .\dams, merchant, jiroud of his success, with reason. And his good financial jirospects growing brighter every season.] When the folks was all set down, then, a proper need confe.ssin', I would hev (Jran'father Jones ask a good ol'-fashioned Ijlessin'. Not a short, impatient one, such as often I hear muttered, Hut a long one, that improved ajipetites while bein' uttered. I would hev the vict'als there, on the start, as fur as able. An' wouldn't dare to waste a prayer on a bare and empty table. ■'Now take hold an' help yourselves !" father'd say with kind inflections; An' the crowd that set around wouldn't need no more directions. Though they all had journeyed far, ere the clock said half a minute, Uncle Tom would make first base 'fore the others could begin it. Uncle Jake could eat the most, through his ways discreet and subtle: Aunt Melinda's knife would fly, swifter than a weaver's shuttle. t'ousin Kuth would pick her plate, every l)it of food espyin'; Neighbor Spoon would very soon have a wishbone up a-dryin'; Cider-apple-sauce too strong would make Deacon Wilson hazy: Cousin Sammy'd eat mince pie till he drove his mother crazy. Forty others, more or less, caperin' in Chris'mas clover, Makin' friendshi]is still more strong- healin' former fusses over: Knives a-tiashin", ])lates a-crashin', pewter spo(jns an' forks a-jinglin': Ev'rything by chance contriveil for to set your blood a-tinglin'. .All as cozy as could be, in a ha])piness bewild'rin"; Oh! if Christ could come in there. He'd hev said, "Keep at it, childi'eni" [Thus said merchant Ahab .\dams, with ricii presents to him clinging. While in Christmas peals and chimes, all the city bells were singing; .\nd he sank in thoughtful reverie; tried with all his might to guess Why his joy was so much greater when his wealth was so much less; How new splendors and rich ban(|uets could not satisfy the inner Soul and liodv, likf the dt-ar sweet old-fashioned Christmas dinner!] 24 WHEllE TO FIND SPURT. .>>c >> =£■ S.2a2 0.2 z o o ■d-d ■d-d o o o o •d-d o o o o o oi a a ^ >^ = So * d > -a oaP do s '^ 5 = «." 2 S 5 £fQ o o o 2o a a* MPS e = 9 ■a "u a^s s 3: I" ^•0 2 ■ * UJ "* J3 - o d s> ^ ?>:5-d d-i^ fc S-. .a o 5* : ■q (8 _, oj q3 S — -^ -' 'P'^I at. ^ss§|&fc". g aa.

WHEN Henry Hudson and his men rolled ten pins in the C'atskill Moun- tains and awakened Rip Van Winkle from his twenty years' nap, he was not aware of the existence of any other rivers in the New World besides the one named after him. Both Hudson and the notorious "i;ip" had been in their last sleep many years ere the panorama of civilization un- folded to view the other beautiful streams own name with those who have trodden the same paths in centuries liefore him. This occurred to me on a recent tri]) between the cities named, just after I had been reading a bit of Indian lore. It was on December 14th. the IdOth anni- ver.sary of the death of Washington, that 1 took the ferry at the foot of Whitehall street, and in so doing remembered it was here that Washington bade farewrll to his known only to the Indians, loved and named by them, and which were to remain as monuments to their almost ex- tinct race. The traveler from New York to St. Louis from the Hud.son to the Mi.ssissippi — rarely thinks of the association of his will K i;i\ Ml, army. Then as the boat swung out to •Tersey ("ity and crossed the North River, my mind became busy with history, and I naturally thought of "Hudson". Landing at .lersey City, I remembered that Com- munipavv, our landing place, was the tirst Hutch settlement in .\ew York. With my mind dwelling on such matters as I entei-ed tln' llaltimorc tV: nhin train, I tf+f- «r''3'l HISTORIC RIVERS OF AMERICA. resolved to jog my memory to see how far my education in history had gone, and at the same time see how far my studies of geography had been impressed upon my mind. When my journey was ended at St. Louis I found I had crossed all of the most historical rivers of our country. First came the " Delaware " River, at Trenton, that famous river, which more than a century ago was such a serious obstacle to the movement of our hungry and ill-cliithed jiatriots. Approaching Philadelphia, through Fair- mount Park, a splendid view was afforded Susquehanna at Havre de Grace presents a most picturesque view, not excelled by anything in Switzerland. Then the " Gunpowder " River with its famous marshes, known to all sportsmen, appeared in great splotches, with no dis- tinct outlines of a river bed. At Baltimore the " Patapsco " River widens out to such an extent as to be con- sidered the head of the Chesapeake Bay, but in reality the bay commences twelve miles below the city. About nine miles out of Baltimore at Relay the "Patapsco" is crossed over the TllK MOXIIIACY KIVEU. of the beautiful " Wissihiekon " Greek and its famous driveways. In Philadelphia the train skirted the " Schuylkill " River, which, though not beautiful at that particular point, is useful to a most important degree to the c MUNoNGAHELA KIVEUS AT riTTSbCl!^ American history. " First in War and First in Peace," like the illustrious Washington, who lived his life, fought his battles, won his honors, died and now sleeps on the banks of this famous river, which flows quietly on to the sea past Mount \"ernon. At Harper's Ferry the beautiful "Shen- andoah," or as it was earlier known, the "Sherrando," comes sleepily up from the fertile " Valley of Virginia " and adds its waters to the Potomac. As has been said, the railway follows the Potomac away up into its headwaters in the mountains, crossing many of its tributaries the " Youghiogheny " River, which turns its course to the westward, for it is here the great Atlantic-Mississippi Watershed is formed. Crossing this stream at Oak- land, the Youghiogheny turns abruptly to the north and Hows on toward Pittsburg. As the descent of the mountain is made the route is along the "Cheat" River, which winds its way through the high-walled mountains, forming the wildest and grand- est scenery of the Allegheny Mountains. A little further on, at Fairniount, W. Va., the headwaters of the Mononga- hela River are crossed. nisT()i:ic ia\i:i;s hf .\mei:i<\\. 11 At I'arki'rsliurii the "(Ihio." "lleau- tiful Water" is crossed. The Indians surely did not name this river " I'.eautil'ui " from the muddy water whieli tills its hanks. It like the Mississi]ipi Uiver. is always yellow. As the railway passes throuf^h Ohio it crosses consecutively the " Hockin hours, space run through. 150 miles, equal to 5 miles an hour. Throughout the whole way, my going and returning, the wind was ahead, no advantage could be drawn from my sails; the whole has, therefore, been performed by the power of the steam engine. Your obed't servant, Robert Fulton. Fulton, in a conversation with .Judge Story, gave the following account of this experiment: "When" said he, "I was building my first boat, the Clermont, at New York, the project was viewed by the public either with indifference or with con- tempt as a visionary scheme. My friends were civil but they were shy. They lis- tened with patience to my explanations, but with a settled cast of incredulity on their countenances. I felt the force of the lamentation of the poet, ' Truth would you teach, to save a sinking land. All shun, none aid you, and few understand.' " As I had occasion to pass daily to and from my building yard while my boat was in progress, I had often loitered, unknown, near the idle group of strangers, gathered in little circles, and heard various inquiries relative to the object of the new vehicle. The language was uniformly that of scorn, sneer or ridicule. The loud laugh rose at my expense, and the dry jest, the wise calcula- tions of losses and expenditures, the dull but endless repetitions of the 'Fulton Folly.' Never did a single encouraging re- mark, a bright hope or a warm wish cross my path. Silence itself was but politeness veiling its remark or hiding its reproaches. At length the day arrived when the experi- ment was to be brought into operation. To me it was a most trying and interesting occasion. I invited my friends to go on board and witness the first successful trip. Many did me the honor to attend as a mat- ter of respect, but it was apparent that they did it with reluctance, fearing to be partners in my misfortune and not of my triumph. I was well aware that in my case then, there were many reasons to doubt my own success. "The machinery was new and ill-made and many parts were manufactured by mechanics unacquainted with .such work, and unexpected difficulties might rea.son- ably be presumed to present themselves from other causes. The moment arrived when the word was to be given for the vessel to move. My friends were in groups upon the deck. There was anxiety mixed with fear among them. They were silent, sad and weary. I read in their souls noth- ing but disaster, and almost repented my efforts. The signal was given and the boat moved on a short distance, and then stojiped and became immovable. To the silence of the preceding moment now suc- ceeded murmurs of discontent and agita- tions and whispers and shrugs. 1 could hear .VA'ir y()i:K .\[.\rrY-o.\i-: yi-:ai:s .ii;n. /,\us. 13 distinctly re[ieateii, 'I told you so ; it is a foolish scheme ; I wish we were well out of it.' 1 elevated myself on a platform and addresst'd the assemlily. 1 stated there I knew not what was the matter, but if they would be ([uiet and indulge me for half an hour 1 would either go on or abandon the voyage for that time. This short respite was conceded without objection. I went below and e.xamined the machinery, and discovered that it was a slight mal-ailjust- ment of some of the work. In a short period it was obviated. The boat was again in motion : she continued to move on ; all were incredulous ; none seemed willing to trust their own senses. We left the fair city of New York : we passed through the ever changing scenery of the highlands ; we descried the clustering houses of .Al- bany : we reached its shores —and then, even then, when all seemed achieved, I was the victim of disa|ipointment. Imagination superseded the influence of fact. It was then doubted whether it could be done again, or, if done, if it could he made of any value." Fulton obtained a patent for his inven- tions for navigating with steam in 1804 and another for some improvements in 1811. He was a native of New Britain, in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and was born in 1765. His parents were in humble circumstances and were enabled only to give him a common education. He early e.xhibited a fondness for painting, and at the age of 22 went to England to advance his talent, and was received into the fam- ily of West, with whom he spent several years and entertained a warm friendship. During his stay he became acquainted with the Duke of Bridgewater and Lord .Stor- hope, the former famous for canals and the latter for his love of mechanism. He soon turned his attention to the use of steam fur propelling boats. In IT'.m In- obtained a patent for a double incline ]ilane. lie also profe.ssed himself a civil engineer and published a treatise on canal navigation, soon after going to France, oljtaining pat- ents on his improvements. He spent the succeeding seven years in Paris in the family of .Joel Borlem, during which time he made himself acquainted with the French, Italian and flernian lan- guages and acquired a knowledge of math- ematics, ]diys!cs and chemistry, afterward turning his attention to submarine explo- sions, and in the harbor of Brest demon- strated the success of his discovery. The British minister invited him to London, where he blew u]i a vessel, which led them . to wish to suppress rather than encourage his improvement. They therefore gave him no employment. In ISfW he made several experiments in steam to apply his principle to boats. Chancellor Livingston was then minister to France. Fulton, with his aid, constructed a boat on the River Seine ; this was in 1803, which fully evinced the practicability of api)lying it to l)oats. He determined to enrich his country with the discovery, and immediately embarked for the United States, and in ISUC) commenced the con- struction of the boat, the results of which are given. In 1811 Fulton was employed by the legislature to explore the route of canals, and was engaged with zeal in prose- cuting that object on the breaking out of the war. In 1812 he again experimented on sub-marine explosions. In 1814 he con- trived an armed ship for the defense of New York, and invented a sub-marine ve.ssel for plunging under water. These plans were approved by the government, but before he had accomplished them he died suddenlv on the 24th of Februarv. ISI.-,. THE FATE BELLS. I!Y AKTinU 0. I.KWIS.

The cars are extra lung to permit of a hirge dining room in one end, a cafe of simihir dimensions at the other, with the kitchen intervening. The dining room is provided with six tables and can seat twen- ty-four people at one time. The .service is table d'hote and the menu comprises all the delicacies of the season. Inasmuch as the trains between New York and \Vashingtnn are patronized by business men and the time between the cities is so short, it was found expedient to introduce the cafe as an additional feature. The experiment was made on two trains and found so satisfactory that the innovation was applied to other trains of the service In construction, the cafi' is beautifully finished in plain ijuartered oak, with tablt-s to match and movable wicker chairs. The flooring is of hard rul)ber tiling, in colors, and the windows are wide, affording unoi»- structed view.

ZANESVILLE'S FAMOUS "Y" BRIDGE. ZAXKSVILI.E, (JHK), is proud of a curi- osity which as far as l\vitzerland. It is the old "Y" bridge which s])ans the Muskingum River, a few yards south of the Baltimore it Uhio Kailroad bridge which crosses the same stream. The bridge connects the main portion of the city with the West Side, which is also divided into two parts by the Licking Kiver which empties into the Muskingum at a point about •")U(t feet west of the fork of the "Y." That this bridge is ancient is proven from the old records which show that a charter for a bridge across the river at this point was given to Ebenezer Zane and others in 1880, the first structure being built on trestles; but in 1S32 it was deemed necessary to build a covered toll liridge, after the destruction of the original struc- ture by floods in January of that year. The jilans were made by C. P. Bucking- ham, a graduate of West Point, but on their being submitted to several bridge builders of note, were condemned as not ]>ractical: but Mr. Buckingham had sd much faith in his plans that he built a luodcl, of which the present bridge is an e.xact repro- duction, and when it was tinished demon- strated the strength of his bridge from it to the satisfaction of the autliorities in charge and his plans were consequently accepted. Whilst the stone piers were lieing placed in the river, the wood- work to be used was under jirejiaration in the neighborhood forests. The bridge had practically been coni- ]ileted, with the exception of the central s]ian. when, in August of the same year another flood carried away the false work with fourteen men, drowning two of them, Ebenezer Buckingham, the president of the Bridge Company, being one of them. The span was immediately rebuilt and is still standing along with the rest of the bridge, all in fair condition but weakened consiiler- ably from heavy traflic. Whilst Zanesville is hith tn part with the old relic, there is a necessity of re- placing the old bridge with a steel struc- ture, but this will i)robably not be done for some time.

HOW closely associated with the habitual traveler are the rumbles of the cars. It is largely from them that we ob- tain our impressions of those commercial institutions— the railways. It is a fascinat- ing and absorbing interest to be in some mountainous region at night and listen to the myriad of sounds emanating from the railroad many feet below you, as the train crawls by like a gigantic snake, with the head-light apparently a fiery eye and the two little red lights at the end of the train like the poisonous rattles on the tail of the snake, a warning of danger. The night is more prolific of sound impressions than the day, and one easily distinguishes the slow, heavy freights with the shrill whistles of the locomotives reverberating from hill to hill, the groans and creaking of the heavy wooden box cars, the quick and me- tallic clanking of the steel cars and, above all, the tremendous roar which always ac- companies these heavy trains. Occasionally we catch fr(mi out the deafening melody the shrill, piercing cry of some heavy and overloaded axle, which seems almost human in its plea for relief, and yet assures you of it willingness to bear its small share of the burden and a determination to hold its own in the mad race for commercial su- premacy. How audibly and indefinitely are the sounds of the big "freighters" as they take the grades — their deep-throated cough and steady puff, putt', that expresses in every note their power and possibilities. The peculiar whistle of the wheel flanges as the train reaches a curve plainly indi- cates the road's topography, and passes from the high, shrill whistle slowly back to the old familiar roar as the train pulls out into straight track. In the mountain regions these sounds of the railroad impress themselves more vividly and with greater force, owing, no doubt, to their seeming inaccessibility. Usually the road-bed traverses some valley or natural cut, and consequently oft'ers exceptional opportunities for echoes, which startle the vast solitudes with painful dis- tinctness and impress one with the all- con(|uering and indomitable will of man, which recognizes no obstacle in this age of progression. r5y close attention, we easily distinguish the fast passenger train from the slower freight. We listen in vain for the creaks and groans from over-loaded cars and the constant crash of the bumper, and catch nothing but the deep-toned whistle of warn- ing, and a sullen, even roar as the train bears down upon you. The very sound waves indicate the terrific speed and almost appall one with their augury of velocity. The song of the wheels is a song of seeming pleasure in their exhilaration of rapid movement, and bears no chords of discontent or groans of displeasure. It seems rather the song of the thorough- l)red, leaving no doubt of the true wheels, well oiled axles, and springs adjusted and l)laced to a nicety, all working smoothly and in conformity to man's comfort. With what realistic effect do the passenger en- gines imitate a tired and winded athlete as they come to a stop in the terminal station and seem literally to gasp for breath, emit- ting a sound as though the huge machine was breathing in great gulps of air to sup- ply its exhausted lungs. The clear ring of the wheels in response to the hammer of the man who tests them seem to boast of their trueness and strength ; and even the air hose as it is disconnected expresses re- lief in a sharp, quick hiss of approval, at last being allowed to rid itself of the troublesome but all-important pressure. Along the line of the road the sema- phore, which at night seems like some sleepless sentinel, with its blinking light, emitting a quick chug and its ghoulish arm, swings up and shows the warning i-ed tar- get of danger, or drops down, showing a white light to wave the train a pleasant journey on its way, assuring the engineman of a clear track ahead. We find these sounds everywhere, which are indigenous only to our railway systems. The demand the world has made for gigan- tic commerce carriers, moving an almost incredible amount of freight and passen- gers, has been met by the ingenious and tremendous advantages which belong and are used solely on our railroads ; and it is by these circumstances we have the sounds which are bred and folded in the bosom of our railway. A WOMAN'S FANCY. IIY I,. .IS. THinsTiiN. er "tT'S an utter absurdity. Xell: I nev 1 heard of such a thing! of cnurse won't." I>ut .Xeliie was tirni. "( )iil Tdin, it would be such funi I want a j^ood time so nnirhl it's so tame just to be married -married!" "The idea!" exclaimed Tom with such vigor in his voice that Xeliie started, "to go off with your husband on a trip and pretend we weren't married: I'd like to know what people would be saying. I'd like to know" — "Now, Tom," said .Xeliie. emboldeneii by hearing her scheme put in words, "we'll just start off on the train together and iday we are cousins —first cousins, you know. 1 don't want you for a brother." Tom sniffed contemptuously. "Then when we get up there in the mountains where we couldn't see a soul on earth who had ever seen us before, ynu would explain that you were coming up on a hunting trip and your cousin, who was convalescing from a long illness, had begged to come and stay with the people of the farm— .such fun! Vou could be real attentive, you know, you might even be my fiance." It was a naughty wonl that Tom said uniier his breath, then. ".\nd then — you might even do some of your courting over again — to keep from forgetting, you know," added Nellie with just a touch of sarcasm in her voice. "I'll be" — Tom caught himself quickly. "You'll catch me dangling around like that again." Xeliie sighed and laid her brown head back on the soft chair that Tom had bought and put by her bed the very first day the nurse would lift the fever-wasted figure from the bed of which .Xeliie had grown so tired. The dangling Tom scorned had been dear to her heart. Hadn't there been a dangler ever since she co(|Uetted with her father when she wore infant's robes and was learn- ing to coo, hadn't there been scores as she grew to womanhood, and hadn't she delight- ed in her heart to see Tom with all his masterful ways, look glum and unhappy, and then almost thrill at a tender glance from her. Hut there were no thrills now, the SW'eetheart won, the wedding over, all the delight of the dainty, c-osy liume become a daily thing, Tom went his way as if wife and home had been always a part of his daily existence — a generous, kind and care- less fellow. It was an nld tale, Xeliie told herself, and because it was old and because there was no redress, she rebelled with her whole being. Tom looked at the (luiet face from the side of his paper. He had settled that foolish whim, he congratulated himself. What fancies women haii — but the whim was not settled; there was not a word from Xeliie, liut Tom knew she had spent a rest- less night, there was a glitter of fever in her eyes next morning and Tom thought as he went down town he had best stiip and tell the doctor to look in during his morning calls. The doctor came that day and the next, and the next; at the end of a week the jiatient of whose recovery he had been so proud, was going back — there was no doubt of that nor could he find the cause. " I don't know how it is," he said to Tom as he came in late one afternoon and found Tom had gotten home, "I don't know how it is! ty])hoiil fever is treacherous at its best, but we had the disease under control, it left her with no bad efi'ects that 1 can see," the doctor shook his head, "it seems to me more nervous or fanciful than anything else; does she seem to set her miml on things strongly'?" Suddenly a shock went llirougli the hus- band, he thrilled as keenly as Xeliie could have wished him. His flushed face betray- ed him. "Well!" demanded the doctor shortly, as one who had the right to know. Tom backed against the mantel. " We were to go to the mountains, you know." ".Vnd now your wife is not well enough." " Well, she was." blurted Tom. "and then "Then what'.' some silly fancy, I'll be bound." Tom blazed, "Silly! 1 should say it was; she wanted us to start otf and prett'ud we were not married." The doctor roared. " ( tid man, that's the medicine," he declared, "and you've got to take it for her this time, that's all .after- wards ! Pshaw! don't be so mad! I'll keep 20 .4 n"0.V.4.V',S' FANCY. your secret. Ijive in as gracefully as you can and start as soon as she is able." But giving in gracefully was beyond Tom. He sulked and Nellie let him, she had learned a course of treatment from Tom himself. Nellie beamed. .She had a dressmaker in the house overhauling old gowns and making new ones, and since she could not get out to the shops, a milliner, as well, designing bonnets, under her fas- tidious eyes, she might be going to a moun- tain farm, but Nellie had her own reasons for desiring dainty attire. She was tired at night, she slept dream- le.ssly and a faint color commenced to creep into her cheek, and her eyes began to look bright, instead of weak and tired. And when her trunk was put upon the cab, when Nellie in trim gown and hat and gloves, "nigh about like she was a bride" — as the cook said— when Tom, his brow wrinkled into a heavy frown, took his seat by her side, Nellie looked so happy, so girl- ish, he almost relented. " It's just like going off on our bridal trip, Tom," said Nellie, as she smiled at him brightly. In spite of himself the frown went out of Tom's face and he smiled. "I do believe you've got on the same dress," he said. Nellie cuddled uj) to him, "Oh I Tom, and did you know if? It's the very one. just made over a little, of course, to keep it in style — three years ago, just think" — she slipped her little gloved hand into his — "how happy we were, the girls all said you were the happiest looking groom." — " Humph I " exclaimed Tom, sitting very straight and letting his arm fall from Nellie's waist to the carriage seat, "and now I'm a first cousin." "A fiance," said Nellie sweetly, "of course as yet unacknowledged, else it would be highly improper." — "No, I'll be dogged if 1 will I" declared Tom strenuously. "A first cousin I'll be, and look after you, but as for any fiance- ing business, you may just bet there won't be a bit of it." "W'ry well," said Nellie quietly, and to her own surprise she noticed she was speak- ing with something of the dignity and reserve that had been hers when she was Miss Vance. She kept her reserve and Tom his grutt'- ness. Whatever the passengers on their train may have thought of the pale, pretty little woman and the well set up fellow by her side, they at least could not think them affectionate, nor could their host, who met them at the way-side station high up in the lilue Kidge, as Tom scowlingly introduced Ulins Thornton. It was a lovely old home on the moun- tain side to which they had come. Beneath them they could see indistinctly the town of Middleburg. At their back rose the blue, hazy peaks, clothed with heavy forest, and filled, Tom hoped, with the game which a friend in the city had raved of when he heard Tom say he wanted to find some quiet place for his wife who had been sick and in town all summer, and the friend had said the air was the very thing for her, and there was splendid hunting for himself. But Tom had little imagined the awk- wardness of the first twenty-four hours ; if Nellie had not, she took it calmly. Misx Thornton seemed the only title by which she was ever known, so readily did she answer to it. The petting which the women of the hospitable home commenced at once to shower upon her she took quite as naturally. "(^uery:" she said to Tom at the end of the first week, " Why are single young women so much more petted than married ones?" and then had answered her own query as (juick as a flash. " Because their husbands are supposed to do as much petting as every one else combined. Query, again : Suppose their husbands don't, what becomes of them'?" and then, laughingly, she had run up the stairway. Already there was a tangible dift'erence in her, her step was growing lighter, the hollows of her cheek were filling out, the listlessness was disappearing ; there was a look of light of gladsomeness Tom had not seen about her for a year before that troublous fever. How pretty she was growing! how dainty she looked! What was if? Nellie knew. Her play was more a desperate, last fight and ho])e than a silly whim. Bred of sick fancies the immediate ])lan might have been, but she must bring Tom back to her. Tom, who loved her, who gave her pin money and paid her bills, w'ho kissed her good-bye in the morning and went down town all day, and often out at night with- out her. If he ever remembered she was a stranger in a town where he had not lived long enough to make many friends he never showed it ; if he thought of the hours that .1 iro.l/.l.VN FAXCY. 21 huni;- heavy (in his wife's iianiis he never spuke ol' them, ami she, alas I with no special fj;enius or talent in ]nirsuit of which to lose her loneliness, felt her husband was ne<,Hectfiil of her, and was desjierate. Hut now when Tom and his host came in from a frosty, invigorating day in the woods he found her the beautiful center of a picture that went to his heart the big high rooms, the open tire, the old quaint furniture — it wakened old dreams dreams forgotten since he had turned his back upon his country home. Then he had thought of an active life in the country, an oM homestead like this, the house was shut up now, the land farmed by a tenant; he had a good business in town, he had bought a home worth thrice the farm for his bride. With his papers, his otfice, his club he had thought with distaste of his primitive home, and let it go almost untended. ISomehow he didn't feel that distaste now. old homes and broad fields were not to be despised and Nellie had been half a country girl anyhow. What a witch she was, how well she kept the distance be- tween them, how her eyes w-ould flash in laughter at him sometimes. What a farce it was anyhow, what was the use of stirring a man all up and rous- ing old ideas when he thought himself comfortably settled for good and all. and naught to worry about. But there was worry ahead. He came in one morning from the village with a letter in his pocket that fairly scorched him. Nellie was out in the box-hedged ]iath of the yard. ".Velliel" he exclaimed thankfully, "1 am glad to find you alone," and then he stop]ied, there was a light of fun and laugh- ter all over Nellie's sunnv face. " [ have to go back to town at once," and then there was a Jump at his own heart for the light had died from Nellie's face. " the fronter about three inches below the ear.

These are the boiled down, heartfelt sentiments of the underslf^nod who have Just returned from a trip to Washington and New York over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Previous to our great trip we understood that the B . cS: 0. was a continuous reverse curve, that the traveler took his life in his lands when ho journeyed over it and that all in all the B. & 0. took the first blue ribbon for beinn pretty cold stuff. Somebody has another guess cominf;. Through your kindness we have enjoyed one of the best trips we over made, over one of the best roads we ever had the pleasiire of traveling, with as fine service In every particular as can be found anywhere, through the most beautiful scenery we ever SAW. When Dewey went to Manilla he picked oiit the best he could find and took the B. & 0. and what's good enough for George D. is good enough for anybody. Likewise George licked the Spaniards with the B. & 0.--thfi "Baltimore" anfl the "Olynpia." From start to finish your officials made our trip a most delightful one and it is with the kindest feelings of friendship we extend our sincerest congratulations on your first class line.

To forgive without first obtaining an expression of regret is like binding a wound with the knowledge that your bandage of relief will be turn otf as sixm as your back is turned.

UNTIL .\ugust, 1898, there remained hidden deep in the earth, and in fact almost forgotten for fifty years, a famous stone, the value of which is only commensurate with the increasing com- mercial facilities of the business world. It was the corner-stone of the Baltimore i^c ( thio Railroad — the first railroad in .America- -and which was laid on -luly I, 1828. For over seventv years the stone remained undisturbed, but on account of the interest and pride taken in this remark- able relic of American progress, it was deemed appropriate that it should be lifted from its subterranean dwelling and placed in view where all the world could see it — the grandest monument to civilization. During the period of time occupied in making the necessary steel cage enclosure to protect it from vandalism, the stone was the rOUNKH-STONE OK THE IIALTIMOUE .V OJUO KAIl.KoAll AS IT NOW AI'1'EAR> AllOVE (IROLNI) ENCASED l.\ STEEL CAOE.

When the proper time came it was raised and placed upon a suitable granite base and surrounded by steel caging, as shown in the illustration. It will be recalled that this famous stone was laid under the auspices of the Masonic only to that of signing the Declaration of Independence, if, indeed, second to that."

A MAN WHO COULD FIGHT. BY W. J. LAMPTON. FRANK BURKE, a promising young archi- tect of six and twenty in the sub- urban city of Westboro, would have gone on the witness stand in any court in the land and testified that to the best of his knowledge and belief Bessie Freeman was the prettiest girl in the whole wide world and the most tantalizing. For two years she had been tossing his heart around like a toy balloon, although he could not quite understand how she did, seeing that his heart always' seemed so heavy to him after she had finished her last exercise with it. He knew that she loved him, for in the mysterious way women have in such matters she always kept him convinced nf that, but do what he could, he could gain no admission from her to that effect, though he had asked her plumply a hundred times to marry him, only to be laughed at just that many times. He was quite able to support a wife, and he felt that Miss Freeman's cavalier treatment of him was assuming the nature of a reflection upon himself, as Mr. Frank Burke, and also upon his profession as a means of provision. Driven at last to des- perate resorts, he had determined to make a heroic attempt to bring the recalcitrant lady to terms, and one Sunday night, when he had walked home from church with her to the cozy little apartments she occupied with her mother in the largest flat in town, and was comfortably settled before a gas- log tire that was the pet of her domestic dreams, he resolved to make the test. He had been to the city, only twenty miles or so away, for a day or two, returning home that afternoon, and Bessie was seeing him for the first time since his trip. "Well," she said with somewhat of a proprietary air, "tell me what you did while you were away." "Oh, nothing much," he responded easily ; "that is, nothing much in an architectural way, but I about completed arrangements to go to Manila within the next few weeks." "To Manila?" she exclaimed. "What Manila? Not the one away out yonder that Dewey made famous?" "The same." "What ever are you going there for? To open a coft'ee plantation — or do they open a coffee plantation?" "Not that exactly," he answered sol- emnly. "I may be going to open a ceme- tery for all I know." "Why, Frank Burke," she asked in an anxious tone, "what do you mean?" "I mean that I am going to Manila as a soldier." "As a soldier? What for?" "To fight, I suppose. That's what soldiers go to the Philippines for, isn't it? -Judging from the newspaper accounts, they seem to have plenty of it to do." "But what are you going for? They don't need ijou especially, do they?" "Whether they do or not, they seemed to be glad enough to give me the chance to go when I offered myself." " But you'll be killed," she said nerv- ously after a pause of a minute, and rising without any apparent reason for doing so. "Well," he answered her coolly, "soldiers have to take chances. That's what they are there for." "Yes — yes," she hesitated, "but I don't want you to be killed, Frank. I — I — I — ." He had risen and stepped over towards her until he could touch her. She had never seen him when he looked so hand- some, she had never before thought of him except as part of her daily life in the town where they had lived and were to live always, and now before she realized what she was doing, she gave a little sob and, dropping her head on his shoulder, let him hold her in his arms. He felt that his conquest was complete, and after a moment's enjoyment of his triumph, he laughed, and there was some- thing in the tone of it that jarred upim her. She looked up at him quickly, with the tears sparkling in her eyes. The young man thought he had never seen her look so pretty. "It's all right, Bessie, dear," he said, holding her closer than ever. "Don't cry ; it's all right ; I'm not going to Manila ; I was only teasing you. I'm going to stay home and marry you." In a moment the girl was out of his arms and over at the other side of the .4 .1/.1.V 117/0 ('(tULD FUUIT. tire, her eyes fiashinf^ anjjer ami defiance and a whole lot of other thinj^s. "No. you're not, either," .she exclaimeii hotly. "You may think I love you. and may have fooled me into betraying my feelings, but I'm over the first shock of the news now, and Til never marry you until you do go to the I'hilippines and fight. The country needs you and you must go." "I'shaw, r.essie," he said, trying to come nearer, "you (ion't mean that. You love me : you know you do, and what's the good of sending me away to be killed?" "I may love you," she admitted very slowly, "but there has always been some- thing lacking in you that prevented my marrying you. I could never tell what it was, but f know now, and I'll never marry you until you have done something to i)rove "that you have the kind of courage every man ought to have." He argued with her until it became so late that she told him he must go, but she could not be convinced that he was right, and he gave up at la.st and went to his own hou.se. He was none the less determined to win her, however, for he had the true spirit of the true lover, and he sat up till long after midnight smoking and devising ways and means of arranging his aft'airs so that he could leave everything and go forth as a soldier. As he sat half dream- ing in his own smoke, the sharp clang of the fire-bell just around the comer stirred him suddenly from his reverie and a light almost instantly flashed up into his window from the direction in which Bessie's home was located. He was out on the street in a minute, and was at the scene of the fire as soon as the firemen w'ere, or sooner, for he found the smoke and flames breaking out of the lower i)art of 15essie's home, and in the lead of all others he dashed through the door and ui» the stairs to the Freeman's floor, battering at doors and shouting at the top of his voice as he went. By the time he had l'>essie and her mother ready to get out, the flames had shut off all egress except by an old fire-escape at the rear, and thither he hurried them through the smoke, taking in his train at least a half dozen women and children from the floor above. He wanted Bessie to go first, but .she sent her mother instead, and then followed her. leaving Burke with a good-by kiss to care for the others. It was hot work and fearful, but he knew what to do, and at last, even though roughly at times, he had all the others safe on the way down and started after them. But he founil that the escape was weak from its unusual labor and burdens, and he was forced to wait till the last one had left it liefore he dared try his own weight upon it. He was black with snmke, and his skin and hair were scorched, but Bessie was lielow encouraging him, and he started down through a cloud of smoke and flame, without any especial fear of a safe journey. But the old fire-escape was not equal to the last straw, and when Burke was within twenty feet of the ground the whole thing gave way and he dropped to the stone pavement in a crash and a wreck. They dragged him out, bruised, broken-boned, blackened, liloody and unconscious, and carried him tenderly to his home. A month later he was out fur his first airing, with one arm in a sling and Miss Freeman carefully guiding him by the other. She had grown pale watching over him since that night, and now that he was out once more the roses seemed to be crowding each other in getting back to her cheeks again. "I wonder," he said, as they walked along in the soft sunlight, and he appeared to gain strength visibly as he breathed the fresh air and his unused muscles once more had an opportunity to perform their wonted functions, "I wonder how long it will be before I can get away for the Philipi)ines''" She looked at him half frightened, as if his mind were wandering. "Why, Frank," she said an.xiously, "what are you talking about'?" "About going to the I'hilipjiines, of course." "Oh, yes," she laughed, as she recovered her wits, "about going to fight for your country'.'" "I wasn't going to fight for my country, Bessie," he said, very frankly, "1 was going to fight for you." "Well, there now, dearie," she said, assuming a most delightfully motherly manner, and [iatting him on the well arm, "don't worry. You don't have to fight for me. You did all the fighting for me that was necessary on the night of the fire, and just as soon as you get well enough to do any more fighting you will have to marry me and we can fight it out together." Thi' Sunday ])ai)ers following contained a brief notice of the [ireliininary engagement. MAJOR-GENERAL HENRY W. LAWTON, U. S. V. BY GEORGE B. LUCKEY. HENRY W. LAWTON, of whose death in action on December 19, at San Mateo, Luzon, Philippine Islands, this country was notified by a cable message from Gen. Otis in Manila, was born at Manhattan, Ohio, March 17, 1843. He entered the army when he was 18 years up to his abilities as a successful general. Later in the Philippines he demonstrated his peculiar aptitude for the work in hand. The cable news of each day from his advent into the Islands till the day of his death will for all time to come be a lasting tribute to his military skill and conquering Photo by William Dinwiiidie.

In 1866 he accepted a commis.sion as Second Lieutenant in the Forty-first Infantry. From this time until the recent war between this country and Spain, with the exception of his phenomenal capture of Ceronimo, the fiercest of all the fighting Indians, which caused a ripple of enthusiastic applause, he has followed out his line of duty with quiet per.sistence, win- ning but scant recognition from the general public. It was in the Santiago campaign that the people of this country really woke perseverance. His wonderful personality and magnetism were far reaching and com- pelling. It is an interesting fact to an ob- server of the myriad of illustrations which have appeared since the beginning of the war, that from out the big field of officers pictured, one was invariably impressed by the figure of Lawton. He seemed always to retain that dignity so essential and with all an ease of demeanor that left open no doubt of an affable, genial temperament which must have been a constant pleasure to his friends. His name was generally MAJOR-CESKUAL IIEXRY IT. LAWTiiX. I'.S. T mentioneil with some splendid achievement, but all was done in that quiet, soldierly way, modestly refraining!; from forcing him- self into public notoriety, and in general attracting confidence and belief in his ability.

It is a well known fact, the love and enthusiasm shown for him by the boys who do the work, and to one who followed closely the pictorial war- fare constantly spread out for insiiection, it was impossible not to share in this feel- ing of confidence and regard. If his infiu- ence was so potent and his magnetism so irresistible there must indeed be a sad and lonesome army in the I'hilippines to-day. * * * * Mr. William Dinwiddle, war correspond- ent at the Philip[)ines, who was with 'ien. 1 have seen in the rhiiip])ines. We had nothing but caribou to haul our wagon train, and they had been dying ott' from hard work in the rough foot hills, and as much perhaps from want of their daily mud bath. Nobody in the American army knew the way exactly, and the Si)anish ma])s we were using were about as accu- rate as a map of the I'nited States drawn liy a suckling infant. We found a Filipino who talked good .Spanish, and carried him along to show us the way to Nozelgalia, towards the north, some ten MAJOR-GENERAL HENRY W. LAWTON, U. S. V. miles. Well, that ' nigger ' took us over some of the most frightful trails I ever saw, only a foot path through the forests and a perfect see-saw of hills, .\fter we had been marching about five hours we knew we must be neai^ the town. We found another native, who told us we were going toward Novaliches and were an hour's journey away. The general, with that malignant, stony stare he assumed sometimes, looked our guide up and down, from his toes, which worked nervously on the top of his leather sandals, to the blue rimmed straw hat, from under which per- spiration poured in his terror, and then said, slowly: 'Well, I'll give him the worst scare he ever had in his life. Orderly, go back to that church and get a priest if you can find one.' " In a minute or two back came the soldier with a fat Filipino father, as heavy as Gen. Shaffer, and whose round, smooth paunch rose and fell with hurried breathing of more than usual exertion. The general never moved a muscle of his face, as the padre bowed and bowed in acute deference, and spoke to his interpre- ter, saying: 'Tell the father I want him to confess that man at once, as I am going to have him shot immediately.' "The poor Filipino, hearing his sen- tence in Spanish, fell on his knees, and with supplicant hands protested his inno- cence, but the general rode away, leaving him on his knees. He shut his eyes and placed his hands in the attitude of prayer, as the padre began the sing-song Latin service, with the broiling sun pouring down on both of them. Around the Filipino's neck hung a little bag in which were the fragments of a few broken hard-tack. The padre was hungry in spite of his sleek ap- pearance and good condition, as his entire flock had fled behind Aguinaldo's lines at the approach of the Americans. He could not resist the gnawings of hunger, and as he mumbled phrase after phrase of Latin and waited for the response from the ashened face supplicant, he stealthily reached for the crackers and began crunch- ing them, until his cheeks puffed out and his face grew purple in the attempt to sputter the words from his parched mouth, filled with dryer cracker dust. When the situation had reached the height of ludic- rousness, the last element was added, which caused even the soldiers to lie down on the dusty road and roll in uncontrollable merriment. " An ambitious newspaper man, with a double-barreled camera rushed through the circle, opened his box and pulled out the long bellows and the deadly lens with a rush. The padre, turning his head, caught sight of the new American magazine gun, stumbled backwards to get out of the range, and, as he fell, blew a shower of half masticated cracker crumbs over the head and shoulders of the poor guide, who got one glance of the camera, closed his eyes, and a shudder ran through his frame as he waited for the roar of the gun which would put him out of life. He was un- shrived still; but the Americans are such brutes. "The army still laughs, but the sequel to the story is that (ien. Lawton ordered the guard to withdraw and give the prisoner a chance to escape. When he finally opened his eyes and found that no soldiers were near, and looked cautiously around to see if that dreadful gun was aimed at his back, and, not finding it there, he sud- denly sprang to his feet and rushed into the under-brush, up through a rice paddy field and over the hills. His heels had the wings of Mercury, and they were accele- rated by a few stray shots in the air." * * * * The officers of Oen. Lawton's headquar- ters' staff no longer drink apollinaris water in the field and if any one refers to that refreshing beverage, the entire staff looks as solemn as an owl, and if a correspondent is unfortunate enough to mention that effer- vescent waters are a god-send in a tropical climate, he may find that the sentinel around headquarters suddenly fails to recognize the power of the press ti^ ])ass all barriers. It happened this way : (Jen. Lawton had given peremptory or- ders that nothing should be carried in his limited wagon train but three days' rations, and he desired every one to travel light. Traveling light, means traveling lif/ht with the general, something on the order of this: one undershirt, one pair of pants, one ])air of shoes, a canteen, a si.x-shooter and a gun probably, plenty of ammunition, three days' hard-tack and a little coffee. Through some oversight an officer's or- derly loaded into an ambulance a big case of ajiollinaris water, but failed to cover it up with subsistence supplies, and as the MA.iui:-(;EM-n:AL iilwuy n. lawtox. [. s. v. 9 •Ii'iienil stood watching the passing wagon train on his big hlack horse, whirh towereil above the wagon and men. he catight sight of the word "Apollinaris," sjielled in big letters covering the side of the box, and as expressed by one lamenting officer — "You could see that darn big sign about a mile away." He turned to his aide and ex- claimed : "What's that, sir. What's in that box? Stop that wagon and tind out at once." The driver innocently enough re- ported to the aide that that was apollinaris water for the officers. The general in a burst of indignation roared : "Who put it there, sir. Who ordered you to put that confounded bulky box of fizzle water in that wagon?" The discreet driver saluted and an- swered : "It was with headipuirters stuff, sir, and was loaded aboard." "Throw it out, sir. Throw it out ([uick, sir. There is to be nothing in these wagims but three days' rations. Confound it all. We are not a pack of tender-feet to go traveling around with mineral water. We will have to have ice next and champagne at our mess." The box was put off in the wilderness, north of Manila, and as the army column moved on, one officer whispered to another : " Why didn't that infernal fool orderly of mine cover that box up." The First (Oregon \'olunteers fell heir to that big case of effervescent water and it is said for the rest of the day the men guzzled the warm fizz water until they gasped for breath and frothed at the mouth like foaming steam boilers. The head(iuarters mess confine them- selves now strictly to coffee, without sugar and iilain ordinary water from fhe rivers. LIFE AND LOVE. HV AKTlll l: 11. LEWIS. Life and love together stand.

EARLY in 1S!»2 there was estahlislu-d at the Mount Clare Shops of the Haiti- more (fc Ohio Railroad Company, a gauge department, wherein gauges, temp- lets and jigs are made to be used in the manufacture of duplirate parts of loco- motives. aljihabetical suffix is added. These numbers are kept in a catalogue, together with the section in which they may be found in the gauge room. The walls of the gauge room, together with the stalls built therein for the purjiose of hanging u)t gauges, are divided into sections, each section being IVI.INHEK IIK.MI (IK !.■ iMl>T]\ KSHoUlM; AI'I'MlATIi.N locate a gauge when a call is received for same, and also to return it to place. For the convenience of the workman these gauge numbers are placed on the drawings useil in the sho]) in script type, all other lettering being in Idock ty])e, which makes them distinct from .all other notes or lettering, and readily catches the eye. We have followed (lut the application of 12 THE GAUGE ROOM IX A GREAT RAILWAY SHOP. some of these gauges, called for on the drawing of a cylinder head for a locomo- tive, as shown in the cut of cylinder head, where the templets are shown in position on the cylinder head, ready for drilling. The middle gauge of the three here shown has the steel bushing inserted in the hole of templet, with the wrench in position on same. The hook gauge standing against the edge on one side is used in measuring the diamet«r. The odd shaped hook gauge resting against the cylinder head on the as Vernier and Micrometer calipers are also used, which measure to 10-1000 of an inch. Now if it is desired to make a gauge similar to those shown in section 3, the first process is to have the article forged in about the form shown, the next step being to make a gauge similar to the straight pieces shown to the right hand of this sec- tion. These pieces are known as reference gauges, from which the shop gauges are made. The object of the reference gauge is to restore the other gauges to standard GAIGK KOoM AT MOUNT CLAKK SUnrs OF THK BALTIMOKE .V OHIO KAU.KOAll AT BAI.TIMOKE. right is for measuring the thickness through the cylinder head. Few people appreciate the care which has to be exercised by the mechanic in making gauges of this character. The first thing necessary is to arrive at some means of establishing a standard for length, and this is accomplished by the use of a U. S. standard steel scale 8 feet long, which is made by the well known firm of Brown & Sharp. This scale is kept enclosed in a special case to protect it from injury. In- struments for precise measurement, known size in the event they become worn in use. Now proceeding with the manufacture of one of the gauges shown in section 3: After being received from the smith .-ihop. and after reference gauge has been made, the inside of the hook ends are machined out carefully to very nearly the size required; then the mechanic in the gauge room, by filing, brings this gauge to within a small fraction of the length desired, the ends are then hardened, and after this the measure- ment jioints are further brought to size by grinding off with an oil stone. THE GAl'GE ROOM I\ A ORKAT UAIIAVAY SHOP 13 In takin}^ measurements from the stand- ard scale, and in measuring from the refer- ence K^ug'? to the working gauge, the work- man has to exercise the utmost care that one is not heated above the other in hand- ling, or otherwise his measurements will be incorrect. Vor this reason, he usuallj' has several gauges to work on at the same time, and he places one on top of the other, allowing them to remain in contact until they reach the same degree of temperature. This method has to be repeated a number of times until the final size is reached. In using gauges f(ir drilling, similar to those shown in section 1,()( )(),()(.)().

BALTIMORE, MARC:H, 1900. No. 6 EASTERN STANDARD TIME. THERE has ahva^'s been a .subtle some- thing, illusive and fascinating, that interests the great multitude of citi- zens about correct time. It is safe to say eight men in every ten possess watches upon which they bestow special care, and of their time-keeping qualities are ready upon all occasions and at any time to boast. The great strides made in recent years in the manufacture of watches of exceptional time-keeping qualities and at a price within easy reach of even our poor neighbors, has gradually brought about a demand for correct time which shall be furnished to the people at least once during each day. This demand has been met promptly by the Government of the United States, which left the solution of the prob- lem to its Naval Observatory in Washing- ton, who originated and operate the system known as the "Gardiner .System,'" which has been of such inestimable assistance to the people. From this observatory for some years past, the exact hour of noon is flashed throughout the ea.stern and middle portion of the United States. The western .States and Pacific Coast are also in the great time .system, but the service is fur- nished from the observatory in ("alifornia. Modern business methods have become so systematic that the question of time is an all-important one. p]very moment of the day is utilized and a mistake of a minute might entail a great financial loss or at least considerable vexation. The people have so long been accustomed to absolute correct time that only by a cessa- tion of this .service would its great com- mercial value be brought home to them and bring forth a cry of protest. At Baltimore the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- road furnishes this correct time, not only to the people of the city, but to all ves- sels which come into that port, by means of a time ball, which is hoisted aloft daily to the top of the high pole on the roof of the general office building. Promptly at noon on each day it is released electrically by the Government authorities at Washing- ton and its descent down the pole marks the exact hour of I'Z o'clock. Eastern .Standard Time. To the marine service this daily receipt of correct time is not only a luxury, but a necessity. Almost the first thing the cap- tain bestows his consideration upon after the ve.ssel has entered her moorings, the ])roper attention given to the unloading of pas.sengers and freight, is to examine the ship's chronometers. It is right here that the usefulness of the time ball comes into special jirominence. The master of the vessel has Ijeen furnished with official data from the Government of the United .States as to when, where and how he can get official time from any of our (Jovernnient ports. The tall, eight-story office building of the Baltimore it Ohio Railroad is most con- veniently located to command a view of the harbor, and the time ball at the top of the pole can be seen readily, not only from the masts of the myriad of vessels already safely docked, but from the decks of the incoming wanderers as they steadily push their way into the harbor. Inasmuch as many of these sailing vessels have been on cruises from two to three weeks to two or three months and ofttimes not in reach of any official ])orts, their interest in the time bail can be easily imagined. A few minutes before noon each day, especially on clear days, the eyes of the watch on almost every vessel are riveted in the direction of the EASTERN STANDARD TIME. Baltimore & (.)hio time ball, and as it slips down the pole, a proper comparison is made with the official chronometers of the vessel. When the Government has established a time ball and its location permanently decided upon, so that it is visible to the ship captains entering the port, the United States Government at once issues a circular to all countries of the world, notifying each of the fact. The circulars are printed in the language of the country to which they are sent, and in turn the information is given out by the Marine Dei)artment of that country. A description of the imme- diate surroundings of the time ball is con- tained in the circular, also directions for quickly locating it from any point in the harbor. In the illustration accompanying this article can be seen the top of the Baltimore & Ohio Building, showing the ball just as it has reached the center of the pole. The picture was taken looking toward the harbor. The Baltimore & Ohio time ball was established by the Government several years ago, as has been stated, principally for the shipping interests of Baltimore. The building is sufficiently high for the ball to be seen from all points of the upper and lower harbor. Its movements are regulated by the great clock in the Naval Observa- tory at Washington, D. C, which is the hour glass for the vast system of time distri- bution. This clock is corrected each night when an observation can be made, and, as no resources of this scientific bureau are overlooked when it comes to the time sys- tem, this clock can be reasonably regarded as nearly correct as it is possible for human ingenuity to make it. The stupendous net- work of wires of the great telegraph com- panies of the country are connected with the observatory and correct time is daily ticked over the country at the noon hour. Close upon the hour the thousands of oper- ators in commercial offices, as well as rail- road operators, stop business each day to get the time. The entire system is thrown into the clock circuit and connection is made directly with the mechanism of the observatory clock by an official in charge. In this way the ticks of the clock are echoed as far south as New Orleans, to f>t. Louis on the west, to the Great Lakes and Chicago on the north and to the entire Atlantic coast and contiguous cities. The hydrographic office, located in the custom house, is the central station for the time system in Baltimore. In this office comes a direct wire from the observatory and the local connections for the city are made there. From the hydrographic office, a special wire is run to the roof of the lialtimore & Ohio Railroad building. The time ball is a frame-work of iron, covered with canvas and painted black to enable it to be easily seen against the light back-ground of the sky. It is 31 inches in diameter and weighs about twenty pounds. It is hoisted to the top of the pole by means of an ordinary windlass operated by a crank. The wire from the hydrographic office loops into a relay sounder, as in common use. A regular telegraph sounder is operated locally by the relay and the arm or striker of this sounder acts as trigger to release the ball. The time as received in Balti- more and throughout the Eastern system is what is known as the 75th meridian, which is five hours Greenwich mean time or 12 o'clock noon in the 75th meridian. At exactly three minutes to noon, the ticks from the observatory clock can be heard coming in. Every half minute there is a pause of one second; at one minute a pause of five seconds. At ten seconds before the instant of noon, the ticks cease, so as to allow time for corrections in chronometers or for any calculation. As these signals in connection with the time ball are re- ceived on the relay during the ten seconds intermission, the sounder is switched in and as the noon signal comes in, the relay closes the sounder, thus releasing the ball, which drops slowly down the pole by grav- ity, unwinding the windlass as it does so, and father time has given notice to the waiting thousands that he has torn another day from his calendar of ages. 'I HAVE NOT WORDS." IIY TMEllIMiItA AWAI.I.. TUVj acquaintance of Mr. Maitland and Miss Ray had in its short duration many upheavals, not boisterous volca- noes that cover the earth with the fragments of their eruptions, but quiet, indifferent " I'm not conscious of your presence" treat- ments that only time itself could determine where on earth and when it would eventually adjust itself or otherwise. That Mr. Maitland was interested in her, Miss Ray didn't deny to herself; that she was glad, she acknowledged shyly; that he tried to hide it from her, irritated her, but which she judiciously tried to conceal from him. That he did feel an interest, Mr. Mait- land acknowledged because he couldn't help it, being used to analyze his feelings ; that he didn't intend that Miss Ray should see so much he was fully determined, at least until he knew just where he "stood ;" that he knew, and yet he didn't upset the even tenor of his ways. She didn't show enough ; he wanted to know more, but he had found probing to be an onerous labor which hadn't brought any good results and a dangerous experiment, as one was mighty apt to slip, and no telling what advantage the enemy would score. That such a state of atl'airs was highly gratifying to both sides we have no doubt, and it was to the effect that Miss Ray thought that Mr. Maitland sometimes really did care (Itut of course, "she didn't,") that the irritation of it all caused her to grow confidential. She was standing before her mirror fix- ing her rather pretty hasr.and every now and then a hair[iin shot in its place with extrav- agant force. A woman some years older than herself sat near by and watched with a pleased expression the graceful move- ments of the young woman. "No, Cousin Esther, you're wrong." The denial was emphatic. " 1 don't think any woman would willingly throw herself at the feet of a man," another pin shot with arrow swiftness in its place, "that is, of course, if she has any pride and 1 think you know me. Why, actually, 1 never felt so humiliatecl in my life. No, of course, I'm not in love" Miss Ray never dared look in the mirror as she reiterated her remark. "Every time 1 see -lohn .Maitland 1 feel more and more like a goose. 1 actually call myself names when he leaves me, and it hurts me to do it. Hid you ever see nil have to do that before'.' Why, usually, if men did and said things I ilidn't like, I never cared, just so they were re- spectful and they seemed actually afraid to do anything else. And here comes a man who don't care tw'o straws for me, making me feel like I'm way down at his feet." The other woman kept a knowing silence. "Why, I don't feel that way with women. I get on beautifully with them, and you know they say. Cousin Esther, if a woman is popular among her sex, why she is what, Cousin Esther ■■" The head in the mirror gave a knowing look at the head across the room. "They say a woman who is sincerely appreciated among her woman friends usually is a woman of noble calibre." "That's what I had in mind, and. Cousin Esther," the soft head went down on the other woman's shoulder and snuggled close against her soft cheek. "I love women! -At least I maintain my self-respect among them. 1 can tell where they are and I can say what 1 mean; but for that matter I can talk to men, too; I mean branch out, make good repartee, get an inning occasionally, talk, talk, talk. Hut I can't say "boo" to •lohn Maitland. If he says anything per- sonal, 1 am bound to go say anything but what I meant to have; and if I say anything per- sonal I say more or less than 1 intended, and if I say what I meant to have, oh — ! Cousin p]sther, I'm filled with elation, and 1 know I'm not a goose. I have o])inions; I have ideas; I have some little brain, but when it comes to .John Maitland I do my very worst; if he says anything really nice, 1 say 'yes' or 'no,' and hours afterwards 1 think of just the nicest thing I could have said and didn't. Do you wonder that I feel humiliated, that I'm dissatisfied with my- self, because you know me. Cousin Esther, and that 1 don't deserve what I'm getting." The elder woman knew that she was right, that a rarer nature of true worthiness and capability was not the endowment of many women. "Do you know that little bit from .lulius C;esar, 'I have not words, no wit. no worth, "/ HAVE XUT WURDSr action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech to stir men's hearts.' I feel like that. Cousin Esther," and the warmest hand went up to the cheek of the other and gave it a good soft pat. "I have the power of getting tangled up, and 'like the chaff which the wind driveth away,' all my really good feelings remain within me and 1 have so wanted to be my best, because he is a man who does appreciate noble women and I always felt in some way I know his good strong points and could help the weak ones; and he's so sympathetic. If I had a little more of the benefits of life I mightn't need sympathy, but I do need a little sometimes" — the eyes of the soft head had grown really pensive — "but I'm not always proof against wanting somebody's care for what I'm doing. Do you know I'm really sorry I look so well in my clothes because, well — because he don't know how hard it is to get and make them and I have so often heard him feel soiTy for Miss so and so be- cau.se she was poor and couldn't get this, that, etc., and you know it's my ingenuity gives me what I have, and then when people have trouble he tells me; of course the confidence is very sweet, but if he only knew how sad my whole childhood was and even now the traces are left of its sad work. Have I been talking, Cousin Esther? You say you wei'en't paying any attention ? Well, I'm glad of that, because I'm afraid I've been 'wanderin' in ma mind,' as Cloe u.sed to say. But I think we understand each other, Cousin Esther? That you know 1 am not in love?" "I think I quite understand," the other said patting her head fondly, and she con- cluded inwardly "that you are." "I met your friend Miss Ray again last night, and do you know, Maitland, old man, I think she is one of the noblest women I've ever met." Maitland had allowed himself just the luxury of being surprised unconsciously. "By Jove, if there were more women like Miss Ray, there would be fewer men who would care for the sordid pleasures of this world. There is a woman who would make a man's home his paradise and she, the guarding, helpful angel to soothe him when he came in at night, tired and worn and weary. Did you ever feel as if you'd like to have some woman who thought all the world of you, soothe your harassed feelings and just make you feel comforted and a man?" "Whew — ! Who'd ever think you'd talk like that;" but somehow ilr. Maitland didn't seem to be able to get the swing of his conversational apparatus going. To say this, would perhaps sound stilted, to say that would, well, kind of unfriendly, and somehow he didn't feel very good any- way. "I wonder if she would have such a dog as me?" Burns asked deprecatingly of his friend. A queer dizzy feeling seemed to take possession of Maitland; he believed he was going to fall or something strange over- take him. "What'd you say? W'ould she have you ? I'm sure I don't know. Burns, but as I look at you I don't believe she would. Tastes difi'erent, you know; uncongenial pursuits and that sort of thing; tempera- ments entirely unlike. No ! I'm sure she wouldn't have you. No good to spend your time. But I'll have to leave you, old man; not feeling good; thinking of taking trip — where? To the seashore, of course. Nothing like sea bathing for recuperating your feelings. Come see you when I come home." Miss Ray was the ship that was being rocked by the commotion and whose frail feminine bark was being harassed by the turbulent thoughts of that agitated head. "I knew Miss Ray was a flirt. Actu- ally made herself so agreeable that Burns thinks he'd like to marry her. I hate flirt- ing in women; somehow it takes away a man's feeling of pride in them or some- thing. Hang it, I never thought she'd flirt. But I might have known. Any fellow who has worked like a dog to get just some little amount of encouragement so that I could tell her some things, might know she'd flirt. Why, I actually told her the other night 'that 1 was a fellow who got awfully fond of people' and she only said 'do you,' and turned the subject. I always made up my mind not to let women walk it over me, and here I am doing it. But I can stop and Burns can go in if he wants to. Think I'd care ? 'Cood fish,' etc." This bachelor of thirty years whiled away four months in various ways, but his ways never varied in the direction of Miss Ray, 10 Irving Square. Oh, no! With re- gard to it and its one occupant who had "at one time" interested him he consolingly / HAVE NOT woRnsr told himself, be kept an apparent indiffer- ence. The weather was hot and of course it was the weather — the sprinfj fever and summer heat combined— which always left a man's disposition at six points of the compass. Mr. iMaitland hied himself for a stroll down a narrow way. Makin^; strides in his direction came the inimitable Hums. "1 never knew Burns was so bowlegged before," he observed with a woman's ([uick perception, and had he been al)le U> ri THR SXAKES.

BEAUTIFUL SANDUSKY. HY T. n. TUCKER. BY ruval charter of Charles II in l(_>ii2 the two small colonies of Connecticut were consolidated and dominion ex- tended westward to the Pacific Ocean, or as it was then called. South Sea. This fickle monarch had the absolute right to make grants and annul or change them at his pleasure, and he continually exercised it and often abused it. These grants were invarialily made "from sea to sea" to annul any rival tdaims of France or Spain. In citizens who had sufl'ered by fire and ]iillage from llritish soldiers during the Uevidu- tionary War. These lands, now embraced in Krie, Huron and part of Ottawa Counties, became known as the firelands and include the ]iresent site of Sandusky. .\t this time Sandusky, known as (Jgontz Place, was entirely inhabited by a tribe of Ottawa Indians, whose wigwams, composed of poles and bark, studded the bay. Their chief, (Igontz, was a man of some ability I l-..vll.i 1. lu 178G Connecticut released her claim to all this vast territory of prairie and forest, except the tract, then known historically as "Connecticut's Western lieserve," ex- tending from the western boundary of Penn- sylvania westward 120 miles and about fifty miles in width, the forty-first parallel being the southern boundary and the International Line bounding it on the north. This tract, containing nearly l,0(KI,(")0 of acres, is now renowned and well known as the "West- ern Reserve." In 17i)2 the State donated •")0() acres of her Western Reserve to her and education; there are several traditions regarding his history but all agree he was brought from (.Quebec by .Jesuit missionaries to found a mission among the Ottawas, but soon became identified with them. The bay was called "Lac Sandoustee," meaning "lake at the cold waters," and strange as it may appear Lake Erie was the last of the great lakes to be explored and the south shore, of which Sandusky P>ay is a part, the last of all. Charlevoix's map (17741 is marked, "this shore almost un- known." i^kJMjcs' HEAITIFUL SAXniSKY. 18 .LAIN J.l.l.\ A i' '1. Few of the sutferers occupied the fire- land donated to them but sold their rights to others who were called proprietors. The first pioneer white settler of Ugontz Place was a trader named Garrison in 1810. In 1818Zalman Waldman of I>anburv. Conn., first laid out the town and called it Port- land. In 181S the same gentleman and Isaac Mills, owning together the entire plat of city and environs, laid out the land and called it Sandusky City. Owing to uncer- tainty of titles, no quit claim ever having been paid the Indians, settlement was slow. The first frame building was built in 1817 and the first lawyer to invade the town was Elutherous Cooke in 1821, in whose house still standing on Columbus -Avenue, were l)orn his three sons, I'itt, Jay and Henry who afterwards became famous as bankers in I'hiladelpnia, New York, Washington and London and during the darkest days of the civil war it was to Jay Cooke that President Lin- coln looked for the revenue to sustain the credit of the country and who suc- ceeded in jilacing the (iovernment loans. Mr. Cooke, now nearly an octogenarian, is an exjiert angler and visits Sandusky every fall and spring to try conclusions with the wily bass of which the reefs of Lake Krie abound. The early history of this colony teems with romance and the hardships of the jHoneer. Could the spirit of Ogontz come back from the "Happy Hunting Ground" what a transformation would meet his sijiht. A beautiful city of twenty-five thou- sand inhabitants; wide, paved and well shaded streets; beautiful lawns and city parks; handsome residences and substantial business blocks; vessels of every kind and size plowing the waters of the bay on pleasure or business bent. What a ti'ansformation from the Indian village of less than one hundred years ago. Sandusky, the lake terminus of the l^ake Erie Division of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, resting on the south and west shores of beautiful Sandusky Pay, nearly niiilway between Toledo and t'leveland, as a summer resort has so many natural and artificial attractions that it only needs to be better known to be more widely appreciated. The citizens of Sandusky inheriting the thrift, energy and intelligence of their Con- necticut forefathers, are progressive and fully abreast the times. A free public library containing upwards of 8,000 volumes has been carefully fostered and built up by the Ladies' Library Association and through the per.sonal influence of its President, Mrs. Jay (I. Moss, a generous donation of $50,- 0(K) has recently been made to it by Mr. Andrew Carnegie for the purpose of a new building, fixtures and books. The public schools rank favorably with those of larger cities. In addition to the seven public school buildings with an enrollment of ;-!,00( ) pupils taught by seventy-five teachers, there are four parochial schools instructing ■ \V ■■ Isr.VMi UlllTK. ffv^ ^ iiKArriFrL s.wnrsKv. ir, til'tefii hundred iJUpils. The public schools have been specially favored with the services of some of the best eduQjitors of the country, and the (graduates of the High School are admitted with full college standing to all the leading colleges and univer- sities of the country. Twenty church buildings, many (if them very ornate, beautify the city, and attest to the religious zeal and morality of her citizens. There are eighteen I'rotestant and three Catho- lic churches, all the leading denomin- ations being represented. It is more particularly the sur- roundings of Sandusky, that are so conducive to the pleasure, recreation and rest of the stranger without her gates, offering such a variety of entertain- ment that no two days seem alike. The ( )hiu Soldiers' and Sailors" Home, located just outside the city limits, with a spur of the Baltimore & (Jhio Railroad run- ning thereto, and a few minutes ride by electric cars, brings a pilgrimage of thou- sands of visitors annually. This home is noted as being the finest in the country, costing nearly .$700,000, and is a generous offering of the State of Ohio to her aged and deserving war-scarred veterans. Thirty- two buildings occupying and surrounded by a tract of ninety-six acres. The build- ings include the large administration build- ings, assembly hall, dining-room, hospital, library, officers' cottages, electric light plant, laundry and fifteen cottages for the men.

Electric lighted, steam heated and thoroughly equipped in every way for the health and comfurt of the inmates. The maintenance is entirely by the State e.xcept $100 per capita per annum donated by the United States. Cedar Point Resort, located on the narrow strip of land between the eastern shore of the bay and Lake Erie, is the (.'oney Island of Northern Ohio. The grounds on the lake front are beautifully laid out, and the provision for the amusement and rec-re- ation of its thousands of jiatrons is com- plete. A large auditorium with stage, bowling alleys, dance pavilion, dining-room, bath houses and the finest bathing beach on the lake, are but part of the many at- tractions. Steamboats ply between the point and Sandusky, distance about two miles, semi-hourly and first-class entertainments are provided every afternoon and evening with a change (if program weekly. Coupon tickets, good for fifty round trijjs, including the entertainments, cost but $^.00, single tickets 2'> cents for the day, or 1.") cents for an evening, puts it within the reach of all. Nearly 1200,- 000 tickets was the amount of last season's business. ■Johnson's Island, two miles due north of the city, is noted for being a r.S. jirison for Confederate officers during the war.

Chautauqua work, kindergarten, summer schools, iiathing, fi.shing and boat- ing, all combine to instruct and amuse its patrons. The talent engaged is the best of the country and the program varied. It is easy of access from the city, the boats making three or four trips daily, and rent of cottages and board are very reasonable. The i-slands, noted far and near as un- rivaled summer resorts, are clustered in the lake north of Sandusky. Put-in-P.ay, Kelley's, Catawba, .Middle and North Pass, rison his immortal dispatch, "We have met the enemy and they are ours." Island board ranges from $6.00 per week to .$3.00 per day. The handsome new steel steamer "Arrow" makes double tri|)S daily to the i.slands and Clerk McFall and Captain Prciwn who have run the route for thirty years, make all welcome and the short trip nf less than two hours is not soon forgotten. The waters surrounding Sandusky teem with fish and the angler can enjoy himself to his hearfs content. The gamey black bas.s abound on the reefs of the bay and lake, and thousands are taken annually. The best season for bass is spring and fall, 18 BEAUTIFUL SANDUSKY. about May and September. Several fishing clubs have elaborate club houses on the islands and twice yearly their members and guests are drawn together here from all parts of the country. Ex-President Cleve- land has been the guest of the Middle Bass Club for three successive years and has made phenomenal catches. During the mid-summer season the fishing is mostly for perch and white bass, though many other varieties abound. Boat hire is reason- able and guides unnecessary. The State Fish Hatchery at Sandusky and United States Fish Hatchery at Put-in-Bay are objects of interest to the visitor. From Sandusky low rate excursions are made to Toledo, Detroit, Cleveland, Put-in- Bay and many other interesting points. From the preceding pages the readers can glean what a summer residence in San- dusky has in store for them, but one de- sideratum should not be overlooked. Reas- onable prices prevail all round; indeed as- tonishingly low when compared with those of many eastern resorts. The two leading hotels, the West and Sloane, command $2 to $3 per day with very liberal reduction by the week, but very good board at either hotel or private boarding houses can be had for $5 per week. Many parties and families bring camping outfits and locate at Cedar Point or the islands. Boat and carriage hire is very reasonable and many points are accessible by electric lines. During the vacation season long trains of excursionists arrive daily and unload their AIiMINISTKATIUX llLILDIXi:, OHIO SOLDIERS' .\ND SAILORS' HOME. SAXDVSKY, O. Every Tuesday the "Arrow" runs to Cleve- land giving an enjoyable lake ride of 120 miles for fifty cents. The large, handsome steel steamer "Frank E.

No visit to Sandusky is complete without this beautiful trip. The scenery from the lake up the Detroit River to Detroit will never be forgotten. The "Frank E. Kirby" claims to be the fastest boat on the lakes and genial Captain Fox, who has sailed these lakes so long that he knows all the mermaids by their first names, takes pleas- ure in showing his guests every point of interest. cargoes of humanity at the boat landings.

THE ROMANCE OF A RAILROAD. BY II. r. liAI.IiWlN. IN Till-: ■■iNlHANrAX. S1N('K the (lavs of chivulrv are no moiv, "The KniVhts of the" Dust," their "Kood-s words," now but a useless and awkward ornament, and the "good steeds" being chased off the face of the earth by bicycles, trolley cars and automobiles, our nineteenth century poets are reduced to the necessity of praising the achievements of mechanical contrivances of man's inven- W'estern Hemisphere, is a romance in it- self, and we cannot sufficiently admire the boldness of the concejttion and the courage of the man (Stephen A. Latrolie) who con- ceived the idea of building a railroad across the Allegheny Mountains, that mighty bar- rier which nature has placed to guard the immeasurable treasures of the great West. i)n Februarv I'T, IX'J.7. nearlv three- STIINK llAI.l.ASTKIi IKAi K H ,V s K. \:.

Already we have poems on steam engines, machine guns, battle ships and other forms of cold, hard iron and steel, fashioned into shape tty the cunning of man's hand, and the "iron horse" seems destined to play the part in our twentieth century affairs that his flesh and blood jiro- totype did in earlier days. And if mere iron and steel can inspire a poem, why should not a railroad, made up of so many component parts, develoji a romance? The history of the first American rail- road, in fact, the first one built on the quarters of a century ago, a charter was granted the first American railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio, by the State of Maryland, and on July 4, 1828, Mr. Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence, lifted the first spadeful of soil, and with impressive relig- ious ceremonies the corner stone of this great railroad system was laid. At this time .Mr. Carroll, staunch .American and true patriot as he was, said: "I consider this among the most imp<9:'>, the Ohio i*c .Mis- sissi{)pi Railway Company and the Baltimore it Ohio Southwestern llailroad ('ompany(the iild .Marietta X- Cincinnati Railway) were consolidated under the name of the Haiti- more iJc <.)hio Southwestern Railway Com- pany.

We also show a cut of the company's fine bridge over the White river, near River- dale, Ind. Under the reorganization plaivof 1898, a large sum of money was voted for the improvement of the road, and the most of this is being expended within the State of Indiana. Millions of dollars are being spent in labor and material to make a line of railway which will be a credit to the State and furnish facilities to its inhabi- tants for rapid and safe transportation that will rival the finest service of famous Eastern roads. With the finest ballasted track, handsomest and most luxuriously furnished vestibuled trains, drawn by the most powerful and fastest modern loco- motives, the Indianian can boast of the best transportation facilities the world af- fords and this is all due to the enterprise and ingenuity of the present management of the road. Among the vast improvements now being made within the State are the elimi- nating of all objectionable curves and re- ducing the grades on an average of one- half their present rate. At one point, near Willow Valley, one mile of line is being built with a tunnel 1,000 feet long, which removes 360 degrees of curvature and shortens the line one and one-half miles. We give an illustration showing the Willow Valley tunnel and also show a cut of steam shovel at work near Hayden. These are only one or two of the improvements being made, but are a fair sample of the magni- tude of the work now being done over nearly the whole length of the line. The management are sparing no trouble or ex- pense to make the Baltimore & Ohio South- western Railroad the finest in the State of Indiana. liefore closing this brief history of the road, it may be interesting to recall a famous railroad celebration which was held in 1857, in which we, the people of the Middle West, were directly concerned. This was the occasion of the opening of a through line from Haltimore to St. Louis, via the Baltimore & Ohio, Marietta & Cin- cinnati and Ohio & Mississippi Railways. Prominent peoi)le from all over the country were invited to participate, and among the favored guests of the occasion were Hon. Geo. Bancroft, historian; Mr. Brantz Mayer, author; Mr. Bayard Taylor, poet; Messrs. N. P. Willis, M. F. Maury, -lohn P. Kennedy and many other literary lights of the day. At a banquet given the distinguished guests at that historic old hotel, the Burnet House, Cincinnati, Mr. Bancroft said: "To-morrow and the days after we ex- tend our course to the farther West; we celebrate the opening of direct communica- tion between Baltimore, Cincinnati and St. Louis. The occasion is one of national in- terest; the system of roads bind indissolu- bly the East and the West. The triad of cities which are the fortresses of the Union — the breakwaters against which the angry waves of sedition shall dash, only to be driven back, are now but as one in com- merce and culture; in the arts of life and the enjoyments of society; in enterprise and love of country. How would Madison, who loved the Union with such singleness of affection that after death the word might have been imprinted on his heart; how Madison would have gladdened could he have lived to see these days. And Wash- ington, who when he last came West crossed the mountains by fatiguing marches, biv- ouacking in the wilderness, and then slowly paddling his way on the Ohio, how he would have exulted could he but have seen his cherished idea of an international high- way carried out with a perfection and con- venience which .surpassed the powers of his century to imagine I How Young America is fulfilling that destiny which her fathers manifestly designed for her; she more and more subdues nature and gives freedom to man. Under her influence the world will be united in peace and commerce and lib- erty be owned as the birthright of every nation of the earth." Such was the eulogy and such the pro- phecy passed upon the road nearly sixty years ago. We have noted in this sketch some of the changes and improvements made since that time. The road has been bound up in and is a part of the country. It has been "first in war" to carry her armies, "first in peace" to transport her people and her products, and should ever lie "first in the hearts of her countrymen" as a monument of what American courage, industry and enterprise has done to de- velop, strengthen and su]ii)ort our great country.

THE OLD NATIONAL ROAD. T(l look liack to the beginning of the passing century is to marvel how the people of that time could have ex- isted with the wretched means for trans- portation then available. The roads then in use were well-nigh impossible to drive over, except during the driest season, and a journey was a disagreeable undertaking. This condition of affairs was not long to be endured, and about 180(5, during the formed the I tld National I'ike. The road was thrown open to the public some time during the year ISLS and at once assumed the distinction of being the great thorough- fare between the East and West, carrying practically all the commerce, travel and mails. The National Koad was built to connect the principal cities of the East with the ()hio River, where connection with boats 'N I Hi' N \ I I- 'N M. l;i 'Alt administration of I'resident Jefferson, a solution of the difficulty took jiractical shape, and the birth of the National lUr.ui was an established fact. This road was generally known as the "Cumberland Road," starting as it did at Cumberland, Mary- land, (juite naturally assumed the name of that town. .-\n older road extended from there to lialtimore, which had been built by individuals, but the two together really was jiossible to the vast exjianse of country drained by the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. As the road reached the dhio River at a point on its eastern bank where roads made ingress into the state an easy accomplish- ment for the traveler, the territory thus exjiosed, with what was covered in Mary- land and I'enn.sylvania, made the thorough- fare one of national importance to the people of the country. Recognition of this THE ULl) XATIONAL ROAD. fact led to great prohibitor.y precau- tions for shoddy or careless construction, and the road to-day astounds one with its solidity and compels belief that its builders indeed "builded for all time." Its pre- servation was looked upon as an absolute necessity and of such vital importance to all living along its line, that the most intense interest was always exhibited in any matters of a legislative nature that tended towards the improvement of the road, and such eminent statesmen of that day as Henry Clay and W. T. Hamilton took the keenest interest in its welfare and guarded bridges were invariably built in rubble work and one tinds a remarkable absence of cut stone in their construction. An excellent example of these stone bridges is to be found at what is known as the "Little Crossing," not far from Grantsville, Pa. The bridge spans the Cassellman River with an arch of eighty feet, beautifully perfect and rising almost fifty feet above the level of the river. Counting this span and its approaches, it measures ;-?07 feet long and is thirty-four feet wide. These striking examples of excellent and substantial bridge construction are found throughout the A TYI'K-Al. srKNE IN THK H.US OF THE STAGE COACH. all measures with a zest and zealousness that made them greatly esteemed by the great army of wagoners and inn keepers who depended largely, if not altogether, on the road for a living. One of the structural features of the road that remains to-day to command re- spect, not only from their graceful outlines and appropriate architecture, but to a tech- nical engineer, are the old stone bridges. The bridges yet remain with all their origi- nal beauty and strength and have under- gone but slight decay during the years they have so well served their purpose. These entire length of the road. Another beau- tiful illustration of these stone bridges is just outside of Cumberland, over Wills Creek, at what is popularly known as the "Narrows." It stands apparently a con- necting link between the two mountains, with the picturesque creek running under its single arch, its rippling surface reflect- ing like scintillating gems in the sun's rays. The rugged stone work with its broken patches of shadow, standing out bold and vigorous in the keen mountain air, cause the beholder almost to deplore the advance of civilization, as evidenced in the THE OLP XATIoXAL ROAD. 3 tracks of the railroad which nearly touch the end of the bridge. I'pon the occasion of President Taylor's inauguration, while on his way to Washington, he was greatly delighted with this scene and expressed his admiration in glowing terms. As a natural sequence following upon the use of this great highway came the road inns or tavern.s. They sprang up with some of these old taverns that were so well known during the palmy days of the old stage transportation. The road entered the city by way of West Baltimore Street, consequently we find all these old inns in that section of the city.

ROBERT HARPER, son of John Harper of Oxford, England, was born about the year 1708. After he had at- tained the years of manhood, and learned architecture and mill building as his future profession, he, with his brother .Joseph Harper, joined a party organized at Oxford to settle in Pennsylvania. They sailed in the ship "Morning Star" from London in 173-5. Robert Harper went to Philadelphia and there married ilary (Jriffieth, and for the space of eleven years pursued his business energetically and prosperously. But the title to a tract he had bought at Frankfort proved defective, and as he had built upon it three dwellings and a church named New Oxford, his pecuniary los.s was serious. In the course of the year 174G, he settled up all his business, determined to leave Phi- ladelphia, intending to go to North Carolina, when inducements were offered him to settle in the ^'alley of Virginia by some t^uakers attending a general meeting in Philadelphia. Early in the spring of 1747, Mr. Harper left his home and friends and after a week's travel on horseback he reached Fred- ericktown, then a small settlement. There he met a Oerman peddler, Hoffman, from Baltimore, en route to the \'alley with his wares, who told him of "a nigh cut" through the mountains, at the forks of the two rivers and "the grandest place one ever did see." This was the now famous "(Jap" in the Blue Ridge Mountains. On the 18th day of March, 1747, Robert Harper crossed over the river and rested for the night at that spot henceforth to be known as Har- per's Ferry. Mr. Harper found there two squatters, usually called "Peter of the Hole" and "(Jut- terman Tom," who had been there since 1733. He bought out their claims, con- sisting of a canoe and horse boat, a log cabin with garden, orchard and a few acres of corn patch and meadow. After the bargain was sealed, Peter Stephens bade Mr. Harper a long farewell, turned his face westward and "away he went and ne'er was heard of more." Ste- ])hens was one of a party formed by one Hite, a Oerman, who settled in Pennsylvania and had gone into the Valley of \'irginia in 173:^, with his family and fifty others to take uji land, and his manner of doing so led to many encounters with the agents of Lord Fairfax. Robert Harper bought a tract of land in Berkeley ('ounty, Va., for which he paid twenty guineas in gold, and after the land had been surveyed (probably by George Washington and (ieorge Fairfax), he re- ceived, in 1749, the patent deeds from Lord Fairfax, of Oreenway Court. Xa. The ( leneral Assembly of Virginia, then holding its session in Williamsburg, in 17G3 passed an act incorporating Mr. Harper's ferry. He had previously improved his property, built a saw and grist mill and erected a regular ferry (which he leased in 1771) to William Ready and moved up the river to Shenandoah Falls). Robert Har- per wrote to his wife, who had remained in I'hiladelphia. that attracted by the solitude and grandeur of the mountain scenery he had determined to make "the Ferry" his home, and she came to Virginia accompa- nied by his nephew, Robert (iriffieth, of Bed- ford County, Va. The following winter, 1747, was long remembered as the severest known in that section, and in the spring of 1748, "there was a great flood in the Potomack." says an old record. The water was so high that the family had to move their effects to a barn on the higher land, and in October occurred what was known as the "Pumpkin Flood." For thirty years previous to the Revolution Mr. Harper had enjoyed as much contentment as falls to the lot of man, but in the brief space of four years all his ties were broken.

A FIN DE SIECLE GHOST. 1;Y \V. .1. l.A.Ml'TiiN. 1A.M not an old man, unless three score years be called old, and who is so in- capable of calculating the years of a human life as to say that sixty is much? Hut much or little, I have lived these sixty years in one house and hojied to con- tinue my life in the same ]ilace, but three months ago I was forced to sell the h(ime of my childhood, of my boyhood and of my manhood, and the home I hoped not to leave until 1 left it for that mansion not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Mine is a story of human meanness and a ghost. Perhaps 1 am not the most desirable neighbor in the world. 1 confess that 1 do not nor have ever exerted myself strenu- ously for the pleasure of others, far or near, but I have attended to my owm aifairs and permitted other people to attend to theirs, which is much more than many people more attractive than I am can truth- fully say, and I think 1 am deserving of some credit for that, if for nothing else. .My life has ever been that of a recluse. Left in the possession of much property when I was but three years old, with neither kith nor kin, 1 grew up a lonely child, and at twenty-one I married an orphan like myself. At twenty-two I was a wid- ower with whatever of sunshine there might have been in my life or possible to it clouded over forever, and 1 sought com- fort after a year or two of vain and labor- ious effort in travel, in my library alone, where among my books I found my only congenial companionship. This library was a dismal room on the second Moor, with no outlook save into an area not three feet across, the walls of my house and those of my next door neighbor rising ujiward like the walls of a canyon. Two windows looked out of my library into this chasm, and these windows had shutters which were never opened. They were of the \'enetian variety and the air could come through the slats, which was enough, being somewhat increased in quantity by a broken pane of glass or two which in the course of years had occurred to the win- ilows. 1 confess to have been careless of my personal appearance and surroundings, but that was my own affair, and if I wanted dust and cobwebs and broken window panes that was my own concern and 1 should not have been interfered with. My neighbor's name was -lohnson, and 1 remember the day he moved in and how within a month he wanted to buy my house. He was a commercial traveler for a large firm somewhere, and was a type of his class— "a hustler," as he said, and he was making money rajtidly, not only in the form of a large salary but in fortunate invest- ments of all kinds. There was no question as to the ability and success of my neigh- bor, but 1 didn't like his hustling style when he was hustling me. 1 was fifty-five then and for all those years had lived in the same place, so that when he came in to see me with no other object in view than to buy what he designated as a "rickety old hulk, anyhow," meaning the dearest spot on earth to me, it was only by super- human effort that I refrained from throw- ing him down stairs. At the same time i noted that he might not be the kind of a party who would be thrown down stairs without more or less protest. Ten years before the advent of .lohnson a tragedy had occurred in my place which had given to it just the shadow of a bad name, and now and then a story would start up that the house was haunted. I!ut they were not true, of course, and if at times 1 heard strange sounds, they meant nothing, for all old houses, grown weak by years, expre.ss themselves on the subject of their age and feebleness in this wise, and noth- ing is to be thought of it. I am sure I thought nothing of the sounds 1 heard, and I surely .said nothing, though it could make no especial difference to me for the house was not for sale. 1 was sui>erstitious, and a well defined ghost could have made me very unhappy, but I had heard only what was vague and undefined for ten years and why should there be more than that'.' Hut to return to the tragedy. .Vmoiur my servants was a young woman who was a great fiirt and a great favorite with the policeman, the iceman, the milkman, the driver of the delivery wagon, the letter carrier, the butler and four or five or six or a dozen others who called for her at intervals to attend the various picnics. 12 A FIN DE SIECLE GHOST. excursions, dances and other divertiseraents of her set. In time the butler was the suc- cessful suitor and the girl promised to be his wife, a condition of affairs I aided and abetted by agreeing to give the butler, who had been with me many years, a snug little sum of money as a wedding present, to be left to accumulate as a prop for his declin- ing years. One night, perhaps a month before the day set for the wedding, I was awakened by a terrific racket on the floor above me occupied by the servants, followed by a succession of shots and shrieks and then quiet. I am not a coward in dealing with material things, and, catching up my re- volver, I hurried up stairs in time to see the most of the tragedywhich took place in the girl's room. The gas was blazing full in the hall and as I entered the room, the butler was in the act of throwing the girl from the window. I rushed forward, as she went down with a dying shriek and stumbled over the body of a man just inside the door. As I rose to my feet, empty- handed, for my revolver had gone ten feet away from where I fell, the butler drew his revolver down on me and commanded me to hold up my hands, which I did. Then in a minute of wild talk he told me that he had killed the man on the floor who was a burglar and a friend of the girl he was to marry, whom she was assisting to rob the house, and that driven wild by the girl's conduct he had shot her and thrown her out of the window, and that he was going to serve himself the same way, which he did by sitting in the window, shooting him- self through the head and falling back- wards down into the area where he had thrown the girl. You will say there was murder and blood enough in that occurrence to have furnished ghosts for a dozen houses, but as I have said, I never heard anything after- wards except vague sounds floating in through my shuttered window at night, though when I ran down into the area after the butler had thrown himself out, I found the girl's body caught on an iron hook near my window and she was groaning and I)leading for her life, varied now and then with curses, as if she were fighting him. By the time 1 could reach her and release her body she was dead, and by that time the house was filled with police and all the neighbors on the block. Of course, it was all in the papers, and it was a nine days' wonder and all that, but it grew stale in time and its place was taken by something newer and my tragedy was practically forgotten. That is, it was until Johnson moved in and wanted my house. I thought at first it was from worrying over his attempts to buy my property that kept me awake of nights and made me think I heard voices out in the narrow area way between our houses. It couldn't have been anything else, I am sure, for there can be no such things as ghosts, and Johnson was enough to unsettle the mental balance of a stone statue. One night, about a year before I relin- (juished the home of my childhood to John- son, I was sitting in my library reading, when I heard a faint voice as of a woman pleading, but so vague and distant that it was quite impossible of location. I heard it again, and, naturally, my thoughts re- verted to the horrible tragedy which had taken place between those narrow walls and in the room above and I shivered, not with fear exactly, but because I couldn't help it. Instead of taking my revolver and going up stairs to see what was there — at this time I was keeping but two ser- vants who occupied rooms in the basement — as I did when the tragedy took place and there was real danger in it, I moved carefully over to the door leading out to the hall and locked it - as if lock and key would keep out what was making the cold chills run down my back and popping the goose-flesh up all over my body. Once or twice more I heard the sound, and then there was no more noise save the beating of my heart. I took a drink of brandy, which I kept for medicinal and other emergency purposes, and half an hour later I retired to my sleeping room, which was on the other side of the house, and went to bed. I slept well, and was awakened in the morning by the sunlight streaming through the window — sunlight being the best ghost dispeller in the world. At varying intervals, after this first night when I felt fear, these sounds were heard by me, but as they were always indistinct and lacking location, I began to become accustomed to them and would read along quite undisturbed. This was true of the nights for a month, when one night, being tired from a long walk I had made during a windy afternoon into the country, 1 fell asleep in my chair .4 FIX DK SIECLE (illOST. i;5 about eleven u'clock, ami fnmi my iia]i was awakened by a shriek that seemeil to fill the whole house with its terror, and 1 jumped clear to the middle of the Hoor and stood there as if I had been driven into it as one mi^ht drive a nail. 1 do not know how loni^ I waited for a rejietition, hut none came, and at last I convinced myself that it was merely a nii^htmare. The next night, when I was awake, it came again and at about the hour of the tragedy. This time it was repeated, and exactly as the girl gave it on the night of the killing. I did not recall that she shrieked twice as .she fell through that narrow abyss to her death, but the shriek that night as I heard it while reading was rejieated. On the third night I heard it again, and while I sat listening for its repetition 1 was almost frightened to death by the entrance of my two servants, both colored people, but now almost blanched white. They had heard the same awful shriek through their back windows which opened out into the area. With their frightened advent came courage to me, and 1 quieted them by laughing and telling them that I was subject to nightmare and had been asleep in my chair and dreamed a bad dream. As they were new to me and the house, they believed me, and, as the noises were not continued, my explanation was sufficient and they retired to their quarters again. The next day I had a man come in and nail up those windows, and I locked the door to the room so that if there were further demonstrations my servants would not hear them. There was quiet now for nearly a week, when at the same hour of the tragedy I heard the shriek again on a .Sunday night, the night of the liloody affair, and after it the cries and pleadings and cursings of the girl as she hung on that dreadful night from the iron hook hy my window. There was no nightmare, no hallucination, no nothing immaterial about this. It was the very voice and words, and it came through the slats of the shutters and the broken panes of glass exactly as I heard it while I was trying to get the girl's body off the hook the night she was impaled there. I listened for two or three minutes, then with a wild impulse I ran to the window, and, throwing uj) the sash and opening the shutters, I thrust my head out in the area and almost shrieked to know who was there. Hut there was nothing visible and the hook was as bare as if it had never borne the liody of a murdered woman. .\s on previous occasions, the ghostly visitation was short, and though I waited with my head out of the window, I heard notliing more. The next night I was so nervous that 1 asked the two servants, both men, to come up ami keep me company. My excuse was that my nightmare was annoying me, and 1 wished them to be in the room with me so as to waken me if I should chance to fall asleep. .At the regular hour and while 1 was intently waiting, though they were entirely unconscious of what they were there for, that dreadful shriek echoed down the area and both men sjirang from their chairs and with a cry that it was the same that they had heard before, they ran from the room and out the back way into the alley. What became of them I do not know for they never came back, and in a large city, what- ever stories they might have told would have a different impression from the same stories told in the smaller communities. Their dejiarture, however, left me alone in the house, and for the first time in years 1 slept in a strange bed. It was impossible for nie to remain in my own house, and more dead than alive, I went to a hotel and finished the night there. 1 also got my breakfast there the next morning. Not having any intimate friends to go to in my time of trouble, I did not know just what to do, except to turn to the police, who are the friends of everybody in need, and 1 got a special detail of one to spend the night with me in my house, or at least to sit uj) with me in my library, to watch me as my servants had the night before. 1 told the Captain of the precinct the same story of the nightmare and the special knew only that. With him I was playing checkers, with a ilecanterof brandy and glasses on the table, when the hour a])[)roached for the ghost to come, and when the shi-iek filled the place, as 1 had so often heard it, the sjjecial fell back on the floor kicking chairs, table, brandy, glasses and checker-board all over the room. I don"t think I ever saw a more frightened man than he was, as the woman's voice in fear and in curses came through the shutter slats and 1 nearly forgot the ghost trying to get him on his feet again. When 1 had brought him around, he made a rush for 14 .4 FIN DE SIECLE GHOST. the window, and throwing open everything, found exactly what I did, except as the shutter opened, it seems as if the woman's voice were floating upward out of the nar- row area toward the sky, the only outlet to the place. Then it came to him with an overpower- ing sense that he had been called in to handle the immaterial instead of the material, and he became possessed of a fear that he could not overcome, and he broke away from me and ran from the place as if the devil were after him. You know that ghostly things affect some people so, and this man was very evidently extremely sensitive to the mys- terious. In any event, when I reached the station house a few minutes after he did, 1 found him there on the floor in a kind of gibbering fit that made me shiver worse than the cause of it did, for this was a strong man in the throes, and that was a something impalpable. Until now I had not told my story, but now I was compelled to tell the police Cap- tain. Taking two men he went back to the house, asking me to go along, which I did, but though we waited until daylight, there was no sign or sound. The following night, the Captain with two men, neither of whom knew what he was expected to arrest (the Captain and myself, only knowing what was the matter) went to the house prepared to solve the mystery or know the reason why. As usual the ghost came, and as usual there was nothing to be found. A thorough search was made of the premises from top to bottom, but there was absolutely nothing that could have made those awful pleadings and curses and shrieks. For a week, under the strictest secrecy, the Captain watched the house and could discover nothing. In the meantime, came .lohnson, as before, seeking to buy, I had wanted to throw him down stairs before for trying to get my house ; now I wanted to see him suffer the torments of the damned, and when he approached the sub- ject again, I took him up without a word and the sale was made. The figures were good, for .Johnson wanted to get the prop- erty so he could convert it into a business block, and he paid me my own price, but that was no object to me, for I had plenty of money and it was not possible for me to get such another house. However, 1 could not under any circum- stances live in it, haunted as it was, and 1 gave it up with all reluctance though it might be. Three weeks or less after .Johnson took possession, there was nothing to show wherQ my well beloved house had stood for so long except a huge hole in the ground with men down at the bottom of it laying stone and cement for a foundation for a modern structure in which I had no kind of interest. The thought almost brought tears to my eyes, and as I stood looking into the grave of my lost love, Johnson joined me. Laughing he was — grinning, it seemed more like — just as he always was, and smooth and devilish and good natured and energetic and hustling and modern. "Hello, Murray," he said to me — I was old enough to be his father, and he might have dignified me with the title of Mr. — "do you notice the change?" As though I could have done anything else! Then he laughed at the look of my face. "Oh, I say, Murray," he went on grin- ning more than ever, "there's a great joke goes with this. Do you believe in ghosts?" I turned pale. What could the man mean? "(Jhosts?" I replied faintly. "That's what," he said glibly. "Spell it with capitals all the way through, (ihosts and graphophones; ghosts and grapho- phones. Are you on? Wasn't that lady ghost out in the area way a terror? Did you ever hear such shrieks and groans and pleadings and cursings? Never, of course, for there was never anything like it before. Their very first appearance, and all my own invention, too." By this time I was past the power of replying, and I simply stood gasping and looking at him. "Yes," he hurried along, "it was the greatest thing on earth. I got a grapho- phone, only paid five dollars a month for it, and having had a woman put those shrieks and so forth on the cylinder, all of which everybody knew, as you told it so many times when the servant was thrown down the area way, I just went up on my roof and let the loaded graphophone down to your window and turned her loose. It was only one story up to where I was and I could get the machine back before you could get the windows open sufficient to see any- thing, even if you did happen to think of looking up my way.

THE ALLEGHENIES FROM A GEOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW. WHEN our early civilization trans- gre.ssed the barrier of the Alle- gheny Mountains and thousands of men, women and children traveled overland to the headwaters of the Ohio, there to resume their journey by boat, one of the routes was by the way of Fort Cumberland, now Cumberland, Maryland, thence to 1 Ireat seemed the most available route. It took advantage of the valleys of the Potomac and " Yough," as that river is commonly called, but even then the undertaking of crossing the mountains seemed stupendous. Today the journey from Washington to Pittsburg is accomplished in nine hours. The route is one abounding in interest and I'lJIM' Ul Iii>Ck.^, MAKVI.ANli, I.OOKlMi ToWAliDS HAUrKK N KKKK\ Meadows, near the present site of Deer Park, northward to the Youghiogheny and following down that stream and the Monon- gahela to where Fort I>u(iuesne stood. This was the route of Washington and Praddock in 17*)!). To the emigrant it was full of difficulties and a trackless wilderness lay upon either hand. When the pioneer rail- way sought a gateway to the west this to the observant traveler is full of instruc- tion. The scenery is varied and pictur- esque and one may have the opjiortunity of seeing the whole (lanorama pass before his gaze in a short day's journey. To one who has crossed and recrossed the mountain region the route falls very naturally into several distinct divisions, each characterized by a certain type of landsca[)e. The eastern 2 THE ALLEGHENIES FROM A GEOLOGICAL POLXT OF VIEW. of the three divisions or regions is the age of the land is imperfect.

So it is that the trend of the valleys and ridj^es indicate the axes of the folds and the ridges them- selves are the harder formations which have resisted erosion. The Potomac Kiver, how- ever, flows across the structure of the rocks. It has decended from a higher plane which would be restored in a general wav if the vallevs were filled to the level has an elevation of aliout iKH) feet, the railroad winds its way without ascending very perceptibly, but beyond this point lies the Allegheny River, which is the western barrier of the Appalachians, and since it is not cut through by a stream the railway must climb the mountain slope. The Alle- gheny Mountains consist of several ranges which form the watershed between the TiiK I'HKrirrnu s miuntain xk.ar hancmc k, mh of the ridges. It is a master stream which gathers the drainage of the .\i)palachian \'alley, and carries it eastward through the I'lue Ridge. The enormous wurk it has done in cutting its channel and carrying its load to the sea is apparent in traveling along its valley. To accomplish it has required the undisturbed work of ages. As far westward as Cumberland, which Ohio and the Potomac. They have a broad structure and are not much dissected. In climbing the Allegheny front the railway to Pittsburg follows the narrowing stream valleys and finally jiierces the divide by a tunnel at an elevation of I^.'iOO feet above sea level. On the western slope it emerges into the valley of Cheat River, whi(-h Hows far below in its narrow tortuous vallev. ^^'^r^^ v **v" ■^ A' "eVsiuts iAMmrm «• '^fimfOHioif' THE WATERSHf;!)

The traveler who chooses the westward route from Cumberland climbs the Allegheny front in the gorge of the Poto- mac and finally emerges upon the summit at ( 'akland. This route is more grandly pic- turesque and affords a better view of the Alleghenies. The scenery of the route is not easily compassed by a camera.

AH, tell me not of the heights sublime, The rofks at Harper's Ferry, Of mountains rent in the lapse of time, They're very beautiful, very. I'm thinking more of the glowing cheek Of a lovely girl, and merry. Who climbed with me to yon highest peak. The girl of Harper's Ferry. She sailed with me o'er the glassy wave In yonder trim-built wherry; Shall I e'er forget the looks she gave, Or the voice that rang so merry? To the joy she felt her lips gave birth — Lips red as the ripest cherry; I saw not Heaven above, nor earth, Sweet girl of Harper's Ferry. We clamber'd away o'er crag and hill. Through places dark and dreary; We stopped to drink of the sparkling rill And gather the blushing berry. Dame nature may sunder the earth by storms, And rocks upon rocks may serry. But I like her more in her fragile forms. My girl of Harper's Ferry. I followed her up the " Steps of Stone " To where the dead they bury. On Jefferson's Rock she stood alone, Looking at Harper's Ferry. But I, like Cymen the gaping clown, Stood lost in a dee]) quandary. Nor thought of the river, the rock, the town, Dear girl of Harper's Ferry. She carved her name on the well-known rock, The rock at Harper's Ferry; You would not have thought me a stone or stock. Bending o'er charming Mary. Insensible rock how hard thou wert. Hurting her lingers fairy; Deeper she writ upon my soft heart, The girl of Harper's Ferry. Ye who shall visit this scene again. This rock at Harper's Ferry, Come pledge me high in the brisk champagne Or a glass of the palest sherry; And this is the name which ye shall quaff — The name of Mary Perry; She's fairer than all your loves by half. The girl of Harper's Ferry. ■^ ".. THE LEGEND OF ISLAND PARK. IIY MISS .lENXIK CIIAMIIKKS.

And while meditating on these thing.s we tremble at the rustle of a leaf, fearing that the sjiirit of some shadowing form may be lurking near, and we turn in the twilight expectantly, to catch a glance from the dusky faces peering at us from behind the rocks, for dearer to him than life were these hunting grounds to the ])oor Intiian.

Here under the blue canopy of the heavens, the red man reverently worshiped the (Jreat Spirit, more sincerely, perhaps, than many who meet within the walls of the true and living God. Here 'neath the tread of the white man, their bones are resting. We see their bodies, hopes, joys and disappoint- ments lying buried in a land where their race is extinct; unknown, unmarked are their graves save by the eye of the (Jreat Spirit. Tradition tells us that at this re- mote period in history, far down on the margin of the river 'neath the shadow of a great rock, ensconced among the ever- greens, stood the wigwam of Nenemoo-sha, loveliest maid of all the Algonquins. Happy as the air she breathed she gaily sang, and bounded with lithe and graceful step o'er the rocks, the wild birds she had wooed and won joining in the glad, sweet chorus. When her feet grew weary of the chase, and the evening shadows mysteriously crept low down in the valley, the maiden sought her wigwam, and with nimble fingers she wrought some little gift of love for him her young heart loved so true. At times, as if forgetting her work, she sat with dreamy listlessness watching the waves leaping and dancing over the rocks, and kissing the last rays of the setting sun ere it sank to rest behind the distant mountains. At intervals a sigh is borne upon the breeze, and the shadows grow darker in her large liquid eyes, and an expression of sadness traces its lines upon her brow. .Suddenly she starts and a bright smile illumines her face as she sees a light canoe gliding o'er the waters. Well she knows the one who plies the oars, though full three moons have passed since her noble chieftain wafted her a last good bye, as he passed up the river where the silvery waters run so smoothly, as if fearing to wake the ripples from their sleep. As the canoe neared the shore, the maiden arose and extended a welcome hand to the young warrior, liut seeing a look of sadness resting on his face, she trembled as she a.sked the question: "Is the young, chieftain sorry that the sweetheart came to greet him, else why this sadness resting on his brow; or in his absence has he wooed and won a gentler maiden?" "In all the land there dwells mi other love for ( l.sse'o, no other name shall linger on his lips when the (ireat Spirit calls him hence to the happy hunting grounds. The heart of Osse'o mourns to think that change can come to one who loves him so truly." " Nenemoo-sha jealously guards her noble warrior, fewer moons than three have passed and brought broken hearts and broken vows to those who pledged themselves true in life and death. Through all the day and night Nenemoo-sha hears but the voice of Osse'o in the wind and in the waves, and when she is dead she will sorrow in the spirit if change should come to the heart of Osse'o. Then why does Osse'o wear this sadness on his brow?" " Osse'o has come to take the lovely sweetheart from her home and friends, and from the graves of her beloved ones. The white man is driving the red man from these happy hunting grounds; the spirit of Osse'o cannot be happy near the white man's lodge." " Is Osse'o not brave enough to revenge his wrongs?" " Nenemoo-sha, the pale faces have deceived the bold and proud Osse'o, he hates them with the bitterness of death; 'ere the change of many moons he will be forced to leave these hunting grounds and journey forth into a strange country, far away from all his youthful associations, and where now the wigwam of Nenemoo- sha stands the pale face maiden will hasten out to greet the one she loves. At the command of the white man Osse'o has hastened back to bear the news to Nenemoo- sha. Come, lovely sweetheart, to the other side of the Potomac, Kee-sha-mon-e-doo is soaring in the tempest, but the heart and arm of Osse'o is brave, and union in death is better than life to Osse'o if separated from Nenemoo-sha." Lightly the little canoe moved swiftly over the waters with the Indian lovers, but the heart and arm of Osse'o were not strong enough to battle with the current. The water rose with mighty force around the little bark canoe, it capsized, and Osse'o and Nenemoo-sha sank into the waves of the waters in the land they loved, and the Mon- e-doos (spirits who fill the air) made them a grave in the Potomac just below the breakers, on the spot now called Island Park. And on this, their last resting place, their friends (the wild birds of the forest) planted the evergreens and flowers and the (ireat Spirit lifted their souls on the sun- beams and wafted them home.

On the top of the Alleghenies, at an elevation of ;^,000 feet above the level of the sea, is a broad plateau, nine miles in width; a beautiful plane of luxurient vegetation high up in the air. It is on this plateau the splendid hotels of Deer Park and the cot- tages in connection therewith are built. During the hottest summer months, the air which is always in motion, is simply delight- ful and the temperature is naturally much sloping gently to the railway station, not three hundred yards away. The buildings are divided into three parts, known as the Main Building, the East and West Annexes. They are built on the very edge of forest facing the plane, through which the Balti- more & Ohio Piailroad wends its way. The ten or twelve cottages belonging to the hotel, which are taken every summer by families, lie about six hundred yards to the east of the building and are connected with well laid out pathways and drives. Archi- tecturally, the whole scene is most pleasing BIRD'S-EYE VIEW OF DEER PARK HOTEL AND THE ■■ GLADES." riUVATE <\1TTA(JE. WEST ANNEX. MAIN IIUII.IH.N O. KAILRHAD lower than it is in the valley on either side of the great mountain range. This plateau is known as the " Glades " and the Deer Park hotels and their family of cottages occupy a lovely tract of land of five hundred acres in its midst. The original forests are still maintained, much to the credit of the resort, and excellent roadways have been built across the mountains to afford good drive-ways and bicycling. The splendid hotel buildings, with large airy rooms and immense verandas, are on the top of a knoll, with beautiful lawn to the eye and the Park presents the appear- ance of a small modern city. The hotel is supplied with every con- ceivable modern appliance for the conveni- ence of its guests; in fact, there is nothing omitted to please the tastes of the most fastidious person. It is provided with its own gas, electric plants and water system. The sewerage and sanitary arrangement are the best that modern engineering could conceive. Connected with the hotel are two large swimming pools, one for the exclusive use of ladies and children and the DKEi: PARK.

In a supplementary amusement building or Casino are the billiard and pool tables and bowling alley. In many of our large hotels and clubs and on the dining cars of several railroads will be found this significant sentence : "Deer Park Spring Water Used On This Table." The spring which furnishes this famous water is known as "1 '.oiling Spring" of the Youghiogheny River, which Mows in a narrow, but very deej) cut through the plane. This river, or as it is more gener- ally known, the "Little Yough," Hows west- ward through Mountain Lake I'ark and t )akland, then turns directly northward, Howing down the western side of the moun- tain range toward I'ittsburg. Deer Park has always been a popular resort for the three summer months during which it is opened — from the middle of June to the middle of September.

In 1854 Mr. Shriver, of Wheeling, think- ing the Potomac River admirably suited for the cultivation of the black bass, together with two or three other gentlemen, brought a small lot of twenty or thirty black bass in a live box, in the water tank of a Balti- more & Ohio locomotive, from Wheeling, W. Va., and put them into the Potomac River at Cumberland, and from this small beginning the famous river and its many large tributaries, among them the Seneca, Shenandoah, Cherry Creek, Sleepy ("reek, Great and Little Cacapon, Patterson Creek, attached to the locomotive, which was sup- plied with fresh water at regular water stations along the line of the road, and thereby succeeded well in keeping the fish, which were young, small, fresh and sound, having been selected for the purpose. This lot of fish, as well as every subsequent one, on my arrival at Cumberland were put into the basin of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, from which they had free egress and ingress to the Potomac River and its tributaries, both above and below the dam."

During the winter season the black bass retire into deep and still water, hiding under rocks, logs, etc., remaining there until after the first of April or the first warm days of spring put in an appearance, and his best season is from July until October, Dr. Henshall (|uoies in his book: "The black bass is eminently an American fish and is said to be representative in his charac- teristics. He has the faculty of asserting himself and making himself completely at home wherever placed. He is game and unyielding to the last when hooked, lie has the undaunted rush and vigor of the trout: the untiring strength and liold leap of the salmon, whilst he has a system of fighting tactics peculiarly his own. He will rise to antagonize flies as readily as salmon or trout and will take the live minnow or other live bait under any and all circumstances favorable to the taking of any other fish. I consider him inch for inch and pound for pound the gamest fish that swims. The royal salmon and lordly trout must yield the palm to a black bass of equal weight." ON THE B, & O. S. A.

The power of Dawn pursues the wan Pale hosts of Night from peak to lawn. As dear as Love, as bright as Youth, The morning smiles. In dawn of Life such joy, in sooth, Our way beguiles.

WITH the Electric Automobile, running in connection with the magnificent service offered by the Koyal Blue Line trains, between Washington, Baltimore, I'hiladelphia and , New York, the climax of rail- I way travel is indeed attained, J and the Baltimore &: Ohio Rail- 'M road, true to its traditions, was -' the first to introduce this latest achievement in transportation by establishing Electric \'ehicle Service at Washington, D. C. Steam and electricity com- bined are the patent factors of locomotion i n present What the era. power in the future will supplant them ? The " Koyal Limited" is the name given to two trains leaving New York daily at 3 o'clock for Washington, and Washing- ton daily at 'A o'clock for New York, arriving at KI.KC'TIUC .Vl'TciJlc;llM,K CAI!. destinations at 8 o'clock. These two trains are the exact counterparts of each other and form part of the Royal I'lue Line series. which is composed of nine fast trains daily each way between the above cities. The class of travel between the nation's metropolis and its capital requires the highest standard of railway equipment and a corre- spondingly quickening of time, and the Baltimore it Ohio Railroad, in connectii)n with the I'hiladeljjhia it Reading Railway and Central liail- road of New Jersey, realizing its value, inaugu- rated this splen- did service. With wood from India, with draperies from Persia and Amer- ican metal, fdrni- ed into beautiful shapes by Ameri- can skill, the "Royal Limited" became the most superb train of its kind ever con- structed. T h e c <) 1 o r scheme adopted throughout its general make-up '■p"f 18 AMERICAN TRAVEL DE LUXE. is "Royal Blue" and the Parlor Cars named the "Empress," the "Countess," "Czarina" and "Queen" are superbly finished with Ver- million wood inlaid with Persian design, the TllK I'AUl.DK CAK. upholstery and ceiling being in royal blue. The ladies' toilet is finished in dark olive green, with the ceiling decorated to corres- pond. The drawing-room is finished in harmony with the main parlor of the car. A beautiful effect is given both to the ex- terior and interior of the cars, by oval win- dows, with opalescent glass, placed in toilet- rooms and passage-ways. The cars are seventy feet in length, with every modern improvement and appliance, including wide vestibules with anti-telescoping device, empire deck, steam heat, Pintsch gas and air pressure water system. American women have rights which all true American men endeavor to respect and this is probably more characteristic of America than any other country. With this courtesy in mind, all modern Pullman cars are constructed with special conveni- ences for women; and in the cars of the "Royal Limited," the large dressing-rooms carry out this idea. They are provided with dressers, with large plate glass mir- rors, on each side of which are cozy corner seats, with bookcase and stationary wash- stand in another corner. It has been said that even yet the men have the best of it in the Observation and Smoking Cars. These cars, the " Jupiter," "Mercury" and "Neptune," have the same general appearance on the exterior as the parlor car, except that the observation end is recessed with a deep platform and the observation windows are a little larger than those in the Parlor Cars. The smoking compartment is finished in Circassian wal- nut, exquisitely inlaid; the chairs uphols- tered in olive green leather, the ceiling of red and gold, the general design being of Italian renaissance. Each car is provided w'ith writing desk and writing material and IHK niNlMi CAU. AMhl^ICAX TRAVEL DK LUXE. 19 the prominent illustrated weeklies.

The Dining Cars have been named the '"Walilorf ■' and "Astoria," in honor of one of our greatest American hostelries. cele- brated the world over for its excellent culinary triumphs. The main dining-room occupies one-half of the car and in which meals are served table d'hote. The other half of the car, sei)arated from the main dining-room liy the kitchen, is utilized as a cafe, in which meals are served a la carte. The Dining Car service is operated by the Baltimore t^ Ohio Railroad Comi)any and is unsurpassed. The menu consists of every delicacy in season, daintily served in cut glass, china and silver, and tempting to the appetite of the most pronounced epi- cure. The cafe is finished in plain quar- tered oak, with floor of rubber mosaic tiling. The entire eft'ect is plain in comjiarison with the luxuriousness of the main dining room.

STUB ENDS OF THOUGHT. BY ARTHUR li. I,K\VIS. EW'Y and ijjnurance are twin brothers, and dishonesty of purpose first cousin to them both. I WOULD rather lose a woman's love through too much tenderness than gain it through fear or intimidation. Relii;1().\ consists of what we say and hope; Christianity of what we practice. Sthonc. cruel natures that command obedience, create affection in one class of women and destroy it in the other. Moke men require protection against them.selves than defense from others. "Nevek acaix" has an unpleasant ring of despair about it; let us place no one beyond the pale of pardon. fULTiRE the wings of integrity in chil- dren until the pin feathers of morality ap- pear, and they will develop themselves. Sentiment often kisses away tears that thoughtfulness might have prevented. The undoing of things we ought not to have done is a greater task than to do that we should have done at first. It is a dangerous thing to jiresume upon. or anticipate, public opinion. (INI.Y ignorant and narrow natures pre- fer ]>leasant fiction to unpleasant facts.

FAi; up on the very summit of the Alle- gheny .Mountains nestles the ideal re- treat and summer resort known as Mountain Lake Park. .\ peculiar geologi- cal feature of this vast chain of mountains where they occupy the western portion of Maryland is the level plateau extending along their very crest, about nine miles wide and practically flat. It would seem obtained from a thousand ])oints. .Moun- tain Lake Park occujiies about eight hun- dred acres of these glades and oak forests. Embraced in this tract and adding the one touch necessary to complete the perfect arrangement of nature is Mountain Lake itself. Covering an area of forty acres, with its wooded shores and clear water well stocked with fish, it not only delights UIK I'KIVE KKOM 1;. .V n. li. U. ST.VTION To lIcilLL llLHiAlvlA as if nature in her very exuberance of generosity had in one stroke shorn the mountains of their precii)itous points and left this plain for the especial enjoyment of mankind. This plateau is known as "The < Hades," so called from the magnificent oak forests and innumerable beautiful vistas which are the eye but furnishes by the numerous boats a delightful diversion for the summer resident. Combined with these natural advantages Mountain Lake Park embraces miles of well kept roads, aft'ording unusual oppor- tunity to the bicyclist or pedestrian in pur- suit of their favorite pastime, which in the MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, MARYLAND. ■ "^ >. ^ .J^B^^Vv3RtfS^ .MOUNTAIN LAKE. bracing air of this altitude is positively exhilarating, even during the most oppres- sive months of the summer. Mountain Lake Park is the summer home of the Mountain Chautauqua. This Chautauqua was established in 1881 and every summer is the scene of unwonted interest. Every comfort is here supplied for the sojourner. Over two hundred cot- tages and houses substantially built, com- paring favorably in their design and archi- tectural beauty with the suburban homes of the large cities, and situated in loca- tions well chosen for their attractiveness, with large verandas, cozy rooms, modern sanitary plumbing and lighted by electri- city, they offer exceptional comfort to their occupants. There are also four first- class hotels fully equipped in modern style, with exceptional cuisine, spacious verandas, delightful bathing facilities, and in their general management affording that com- fort and hospitality for which Mountain Lake Park is so justly famous. There are also a score or more of excellent boarding houses, affording accommodations for those desiring more quiet quarters. The Park is well supplied with bi'illiant electric lights, which scattered along the drives and nestled among the dark foliage of the trees makes an evening stroll a thing of delight and robs the woods of that sombreness and gloom so characteristic of the oak forests after dark. The Park is favored with the best of transportation facilities, the lack of which is so often a detriment to a resort of this character. It is situated on the main line of the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad and is only eleven hours ride from Cincinnati or New York, eight and one-half hours from Philadelphia, six and one-fourth hours from Baltimore, five and one-fourth from Washington, six hours from Pittsburg, eight and three- fourths hours from Columbus, fifteen and one-half from Indianapolis, twenty- one hours from St. Louis and eighteen and three-fourths hours from Chicago. As a health resort during the warm summer months too much cannot be said in praise of Mountain Lake Park. When the thermometer in the cities of the east and in the middle states is registering in the hundreds it will be found around the eighties on this mountain plateau. The air never contains that heated oppressive slug- gishness so common in the lower plains upon which are located all contiguous cities within a day's ride, but is cool and in con- tinual motion and imparting a buoyancy and snap. "That tired feeling" is a con- dition unknown in Mountain Lake Park. The water is obtained from mountain springs and is as cool and clear and pure as only water with these environments can be. Instead of being something to dread, as is the case in so many summer resorts, it is found here to be a veritable boon and delight. To one suff'ering with any form of throat or bronchial trouble the Park will be found to be most beneficial, while ■1 :'^v5^ ^^^^mm 1 ^^■ll:'il'iiili!iMv4ii*liirkfil^ ' __JiMfr!ri "''"''"^ I.OOIvlNi; l-KOM HOTEL * HaI'i a' v" ^ Ti'WAKh-- Al liiliiRHM.

To the lovers of music, a feast is annually granted here, a host of prominent soloists and instrumental masters always appearing. One has only to glance back through the seventeen ses- sions of this successful Chautauqua, with their lectures, caricaturists, mimics and wits, Shakespearean recitals, tableaux, etc., to be convinced of the excellence of the programme and the prominence of the dif- ferent artists. These artists are natives of all sections of the globe, and combine remarkable. One great charm of the im- mense structure is the absence of all inter- ior posts, which so often prove to be irritat- ing obstructions and cause a constant shift- ing among a large portion of the audience. Special attention has been given the dress- ing rooms and offices and they are models of their kind. The completion of the audito- rium marks a new era for Mountain Lake Park and makes it the ideal place for con- ventions. Adjoining the auditorium is the "assembly hall."

This auditorium, which has just been completed, has a seating ca- pacity of about four thousand, and em- braces' all the modern architectural ideas as applied to this form of building. Under- neath the platform, which will seat six hundred, are eight class rooms and two toilet rooms. The acoustic properties are large class rooms and is used by the Chau- tauqua summer schools. It is surrounded by five acres of wooded ground and is a beauti- ful addition to the Park. The Park is con- spicuous for the character of its patrons, who are distinctly of the better class, and in its moral infiuence exerts a healthy and in- vigorating freedom which is never abused. Here one will make friends who will always be friends, and will prove frequent reminders of the delights and pleasures of a summer at Mountain Lake Park. "Y. M. C A." I;Y THOMAS |-AI,Vi:l{.

OX the beautiful Chesajieake Bay at the . mouth of the Severn Iviver is located the new ( 'hesapeake t'hautauqua. This location will perhaps be better remembered as the long famous resort " May Ridge." About thirty miles from Baltimore, Bay Ridge has for years been the great nb- jective point for pleasure seekers during the summer months, and there has grad- ually been evolved an ideal resort magnifi- cently situated and deservedly popular. .\ completely equipped as to every detail, and held in high esteem by the thousands who have visited it annually for many years. The bay at this point is probably ten miles broad and the distant shore being rarely visible, the horizon line has almost the charm of the mighty .Vtlantic. 1 luring the hot days of the summer it is a positive de- light to find relief in the cool salt breezes which are constantly in evidence along these shores of the Chesapeake. more perfect location for a .'summer Chau- tauqua can hardly be imagined. .Most Chautauquas in their infancy have few at- tractions to offer the visitor and their evolution and upbuilding is a question of some time, re(|uiring the erection of homes, auditorium, and the building practically of a summer city, (^uite different is the case of the Chesapeake Chautaufpia. They take possession of what has been the most cele- brated of the many Chesapeake resorts. .1 I llAI I'AI V' -I I'l-Ai II. l!ay Ridge has been the "Coney I.sland" of Baltimore and Washington in the past, and its transfoi-mation to a non-denomina- tional Chautauqua shcndd be the beginning of even a more prosperous existence. The bathing beach here is e.xceptionally fine, and peculiarly safe, the water deepening very gradually and the beach extending into the bay at .such an angle that the bathers would be required to venture some distance before encountering a dangerous depth. 8 CHESAPEAKE CHAUTAUQUA. The Chesapeake, this far down, rolls in with a pleasant " breaker," which, owing to the smooth sandy bottom, can be fully en- joyed. Ample bathing house accommoda- tions are furnished, the bath houses num- bering four hundred and twenty-six — and no effort will be spared to make the bath- ing a most delightful feature of the Chau- tauqua. The fishing is excellent and the crabbing exceptional, thousands being caught daily. A long pier extends far out in the bay and is constantly lined with chase, merry-go-round, etc., etc. The re- sort is situated high above the water's edge on a high bluff and has been made into a park extending along the edge of this bluff and from all points commanding an unobstructed view of the bay. A large hotel, equipped with every modern conven- ience, overlooking both this park and the bay will be open the entire season and oft'ers every comfort for an extended stay. A roomy and exceedingly attractive pa- vilion is occupied by the cafe, which has BOOTHS A.\U LLiNCU I'AVlLloN AT ClIAL TAL\llA UKACU. devotees of the sport. Sail boats can be obtained for a sail on the bay, and a trip in this way to Annapolis, four miles away, with its quaint streets and types of old Maryland architecture and the beautiful grounds and buildings of the V. S. Xaval Academy. Then the sail back in the cool of the evening will furnish a day of enjoy- ment not soon to be forgotten. Every form of amusement can be found here peculiar to the largest excursion resorts — the gravity railway, Ferris wheel, steeple ample accommodations for hundreds of diners at the same time. Located directly opposite the cafe is the unique band stand with its wonderful acoustic properties — the interior resembling one-half the interior of a big ball. The music can be heard dis- tinctly from any portion of the grounds, and is particularly audible from the Cafe. It has been a regular custom for patrons from the city to take their evening meal at the cafe, with its attractive surroundings, and at the same time enjoy the concerts. CHESA PEA KE C 7/.4 / 'TA L 'Q i A . There is excellent train service from both Baltimore and Washington via the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, while from Baltimore the regular daily boat schedule will be maintained. A regular course of lectures will be an educational feature of the Chautauqua, and if desired the pursuing of the regular course of study of the " ('hautau(|ua Liter- ary Scientific Circle," completing the same at your homes, graduating and receiving the regular Chautauqua diploma. During the season which opened formally on May 80 with appropriate services the Chautau- qua programme began. From that date until the middle of September the studies in connection with theChautaucpia Literary Scientific ('ircle will be in jirogress. There will also be a non-denominational camp meeting, for which the very best talent will be secured. The intellectual and moral inliucnce which will exist, removing as it does the objectionable features which seem an una- voidable accompaniment to so many excur- sion places, coupled with all the attrac- tions of this famous resort, make the Chesapeake Chautauipia unu.sually attrac- tive and leave no doubt of a phenomenal success in the future. CHKSATKAKK ( HAl TAl i,M A AT Nli.IIT. 'LORD ALLEN'S DAUGHTER. BY MRS. E. VV. LATIMER. IN the year 1S8() I was assistant, though a mere boy, to the resident engineer on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad who was stationed at Harper's Ferry. The railroad bridge was then under construc- tion—the same which now unites the Bal- timore & Ohio with the Winchester & Potomac Road. The piers and abutments of the new bridge had already been raised high enough to support the superstructure, but they wanted strengthening, for the spring freshets yearly brought down large masses of ice and heavy logs of floating timber. Huge fragments of blasted rock were therefore loaded on rude scows and daily sunk round the foundation of each pier, making what engineers technically call " riprapping." My chief, Tom Floyd, the resident engi- neer of that section, spent much of the winter of 1886 in Baltimore, leaving me — a youngster of fifteen — to watch the work and get the contractors to push it forward. It was lonely enough for me, still very young, to be stationed in a place so desti- tute of all social advantages as Harper's Ferry. I perilled my future by flirtations with the farmers' daughters in the neigh- borhood, and on Sundays I sometimes hired a horse and rode over to a barn-like chapel in the woods, where many of the best fam- ilies in the Shenandoah ^'alley assembled two Sundays in the month for what it was their primitive fashion to call " preach- ing." My chief had taken me with him to this place more than once during the warm bright weeks of autumn, and nothing can be imagined more beautiful than our ride through forest paths unobstructed by un- dergrowth, under trees of hues as varied as the " jewelled gates " the preacher told about in the future city of God. No exhi- bition of coloring ever has impressed me since so much as the gorgeous glory of those Virginia woods. My chief was somewhat sweet upon the jirettiest and richest girl in all those parts. Miss Parthie or Parthenia — Allen, daugh- ter of Oaylord Allen, Esq., of Fair Park, a fine old house in an oak wood standing be- tween t'harlestown and Harper's Ferry. Gaylord Allen was a stately gentleman of the old ante-Revolutionary school, en- titled to the mystic letters F. F.V. He lived a widower at Fair I'ark, surrounded by hereditary negroes, hereditary horses, hereditary trees and hereditary traditions. He farmed two fine estates— about one thousand acres of the very finest wheat land in Jefferson County. But in one of these he had only an interest as trustee for Miss Parthenia, now seventeen, and al- ready beset with suitors, whom she man- aged with a light and able hand. Miss Parthie (who has been an exemplary matron more than forty years) was a coquette by nature, inheritance and education, as al- most all Maryland and Mrginia girls were then and now are. It strikes a stranger with astonishment to see how much these country-bred young girls — wholly inexperi- enced in the ways of the great world — know about male human nature ; how clev- erly they can manage their various admir- ers, and steer true love through rocks and quicksands to successful matrimony. Miss Parthie had an aunt who took all care from her, but who habitually disap- proved of her. Aunt Martha's path in life led from her smoke-house to her jam-pots ; within these narrow limits her existence was what the poets call " full-orbed." Miss Parthie had, besides, a gay young brother, who played tricks on the young gentlemen who courted her, and a father, who had regarded her as the apple of his eye and the bright star of his life while she was little, but who now felt that the restless, beautiful young creature who up- set his stately notions of comfort, dis- turbed his perceptions of propriety, and might end by putting herself in antagonism to all his habits, was a trifle too much for him. He began to want to see her mar- ried. There was a neighboring gentleman of good estate, good family, safe princi- ples, and the right politics who ardently admired her. 'Lord Allen, as we called him, favored his suit, but Miss Parthie never heard his name mentioned without a fling at his pretentions. His name itself was the strongest point she made against him. " What girl could be expected," she would ask, " to pledge herself to love, honor and obey a man whose Christian name was .lonas Jefferson, and to write ' Fniin HaI■It^'^■^.

There's .Anj^iis M'Farland, and Lomax 'ior- don, and Randolph Carter, and I'liilip (Jrymes— a good old name, if not hand- some, you know. 1 wouldn't fly in the face of good advice out of the good hook, by making myself a Jones fur life, if I was you." .My chief, Tom Floyd, had a good name, and, as 1 said, had been smitten by Miss I'arthie ; .sv.s' hnnix f/iiix and /ex hidiLr !/( u.r of her broad acres were together irresist- ible. She was as full of frolic as a kitten, and at that period of her life almost as irresponsible. In all my days I have never seen another girl who could drive a team of lovers so skillfully and yet so carelessly, and keep them to their work in such good humor with each other. The first time Mr. Floyd took me over to the chapel, nld Mr. 'Lord Allen hospi- tably asked us to dinner, and at Fair I'ark, in company with Jones, M'Farland, Uordon, Carter and Grymes, we ate of his home- raised dainties, drank of his family wines, and spent the afternoon visiting his thor- oughbreds in a field, entertained by Miss I'arthie and two '{ .Xovember, when Tom Floyd was recalled to lialtimore, and I was left with- out any social resources in the crooked lit- tle town (if Harper's Ferry. At night I read nld copies of Don tjui.xote, l)avid Crockett, and an odd volume of Shakes- peare in my hotel chamber ; by day 1 went out on the large flat-boats which de|)osited rock round the piers of the new bridge in the bed of the river. The boats em])loyed were singularly awkward craft, from forty to fifty feet long, and twelve and a half feet wide, car- rying about fifty tons to a load. The I'otomac in the middle is too rapid and too dee]i for poles, so that we had to keep in shallow water up stream for some distance after leaving the shore of Maryland, when the boat's head was turned to the current, which swejit her down to the pier, the crew managing to guide her by the steer- ing oars till she was made fast in the right spot, when they proceeded to get liil of their load of stones. Each boat had Init one man with any experience in navigation on board of her. The Irish laborers formed an awkward crew, but the boatman managed the stern oar, directed the rude eft'orts of the rest, and in fact was acting captain. The morning I am now going to tell about was in December. The I'otomac was full and rising, and a strong breeze blew down stream. The cold was very great, in spite of the deceitful brightness of the winter sun. It wanted but three days to Christmas, and I was very anxious, before the holidays arrived, to get all the work accomiJished that was to strengthen the middle pier. It was very ini)irudent to attempt the tri]) that day. The force of the current was increased by the high wind, but no older person remonstrated. I was left to my own judgment, and at fifteen one is hardly responsible for rash- ness. The risk did not occur to nie. .\s We were putting off, about eight o'clock, after some troul)le in getting the men together. I heard a hail which seemed to come across the river, and our boatman (an intelligent negro called Ulackman, a native of Harper's Ferry,) called my atten- tion to a group of people on the Virginia shore who were making signs to attract our attention. I looked. There were three persons standing on the bank, and a serv- ant in the rear holding four horses. 12 'LORD ALLEN'S DAUGHTER. One was a lady in a riding dress. I had a small telescopic glass in my pocket, and recognized Miss Parthie Allen. Her com- panion was Phil Grymes. The third man I could not make out. He was a diminutive individual, quite unknown to me. "Bring your boat over to this side!" was the hail, as I made it out, their ges- tures interpreting their words. It was no easy thing to do ; but what will not a boy beginning to feel female influ- ence attempt when the motive of obliging a young lady is brought to bear on himV So, giving orders to Blackman and the Irish laborers, I jumped hastily on board our clumsy craft. Her moorings were cast oft", and a shove or two parted us from the shore of Maryland. Then we began to creep up slowly in shallow water, hugging the left bank of the river. Meantime the party on the Virginia side continued to urge us to make haste by violent gesticu- lations. " What can they want of us ? " I re- peated to myself several times, and once 1 caught a broad grin on some of the men's faces. I looked at one inquiringly, but he became suddenly shamefaced, and turned away. "Out with it, Dennis," I said, deter- mined to go further into the mystery. " Why, isn't that there third one a i)ar- son chap from over on this side the river?" he answered, sheepishly. "That very Methody as .Jack was telling us about come here to settle in North Mountain, and do preaching, and keep school for the moun- tain children. A hard lot he must have to fight with, and little enough to live on — glad, 1 reckon, to strike a chance to do a a spell of parson's work elsewhere." This was more and more mysterious, but I had no time to inquire further. The boat was in the set of the current, which, though not nearly so strong as it would have been half a mile further down the river, was enough to make poling across it very difficult, and to take every man's two arms. There were fourteen of us in all — twelve at the poles, and Blackman and myself each at a steering oar, and we had enough to do to manage them. The drift was tremendous. In spite of all our efforts, we were carried down stream a long way before we succeeded in getting across the current and in finding ourselves in shallow water on the \'irginia shore. Some trees grew on the bank. We hooked on to their branches, and came to land nearly a quarter of a mile below the place where we had first seen the party who were waiting our arrival. They had hurried along shore parallel to our course, however, and we had hardly touched land before Phil Grymes sprang lightly into our bow, boisterously blaming us for not " hurrying up " that morning. Then he, I, the clergy- man, and Blackman helped Miss Parthie into the boat, leaving the negro servant on the bank in charge of the riding horses. "Push ofl:' ! push ofl" ! Be quick, boys! bend your backs ! You took a darned long time to get across. We thought you'd be too late, and you just barely came in time!" cried Phil, excitedly. In another moment the boat was again at the mercy of the current, drifting head- long with the full force of the rising stream, urged by a strong northwester. " Where do you want us to take you? " I shouted to Grymes. The wind and the boat's creaking and the roaring of the water over the rocks made it hard to speak or get an answer. "Where are you going yourself?" said he. " We are bound for that fourth pier, where we are to throw overboard this load of stones," was my answer. " That one right ahead ? That's the very middle of the river, is it not?" "True for you; it is so," said a man at the pole iieside us, glancing at him with a look of intelligence. "That's the very line there that divides the Old Dominion and Maryland." "Then that's the place for what we have to do," shouted Phil (Jrymes. "We'll settle it all while you are heaving the rocks into the river." So saying he turned with what 1 thought an insolent triumph in his look to the young lady, who drew herself away. I noticed she looked pale and alarmed, and I now saw- that Phil had probably been drinking over- night and was in a state of unnatural ex- citement that morning. .\t this moment another party on horse- back rode at full speed down to the bank on the Virginia side of the river. Miss Parthie screamed as she beheld them. "Oh! there's my father! Take me back, Mr. Keilson, take me back. I was wrong. I have done a wicked, wicked thing to leave my old father. Let me go back again. It is time still. Mr. Grymes, I will not marry vou. You have taken advantage of me." 'L()i:r> ALLEX'S DAUGHTER. 18 "By Heaven you can not go back! No power could get the boat back now to the Virginia shore," cried ( irymes, with a sort of chuckle. "Hullo, young KeilsonI" came across the stream. " Bring the boat back. I hold you responsible for my daughter." " I couldn't, if you gave me a hundred thousand doUarsI" I shouted in rejily; for the boat was in full career, driven by the current, and Heaven knows if my words reached him. There is nothing so remorse- less, so bewildering, as driving spray and a roaring wind together. The clumsy scow tore onward, riding now over great waves which pitched and tossed her like a ship at sea, and forced us all to hold on tight to any thing within our reach, for the river was terribly agitated. Every moment the wind was rising, and the whole surface of the water was in a foam. The boat was entirely beyond the men's control. Every now and then she would swirl broadside to the stream, as if trying to find a way to get across it, then a heavy wave Would strike her on her side and spin her round, and then she would be off again down stream like a frightened creature. Miss Parthie stood up in the stern, de- clining the suj)port of Grymes's arm; one little hand grasped Blackman's unwieldy oar, and one was stretched out toward the group on land, imploring aid from her ex- cited father. Whirling and plunging in a deafening I'oar, the boat swept onward. The men gave up their useless labor with the poles, and all stood by to grapple to the pier to which we were in the habit of making fast our unwieldy vessel. We neared our destination. I'hil lirymes in his excitement stretched out farther than the rest, mi.ssed his footing, and fell forward, giving the boat a sudden sheer. In an instant we were swept past the pier. The men had failed to grapple it. We were out in deep water, where at all times poles were useless. Eor a few minutes we con- tinued in the middle of the river, but then came the rush of the Shenandoah, poured from the Virginia side into the Potomac, and we were whirled over to the Marylan(i shore. On that liank was the homestead of an old farmer named Payne. We could see his family gathered on the porch or stand- ing on the bank, encouraging or warning us with vain gesticulations. We were power- less to avail ourselves of suggestions or advice, and no words could have been heard above the wind and waves in the now deaf- ening uproar of the rapids. Miss Parthie was down u])(in her knees, partly in supplication, partly that she might cling to a large ring-bolt on the deck used til keep the boat steady at her moorings while discharging cargo. The clergyman crouched near her. Phil Crymes was on his feet, sw-aying with each plunge of the boat and making vain a]iol- ogies. Eor a moment I breathed freer, for 1 fancied we were safe; but the jioles would not touch bottom, and soon a sudden eddy seized our clumsy ark so deeply laden. Again she was in the full sweep of the current drifting down furiously in the mid- dle of the river. " Now, now, iliss Parthie, we are still u]ion the .Maryland side. .Stand up and be married," I heard Phil (jrymes say. " Not now — not ever! " she cried, cling- ing closer to her iron ring, and looking up at him with a face of anguish. "This is the Lord's just judgment on me for my sin, and 1 would not disobey my father further even if— even if I loved you, and I don't. 1 know it now. I never loved you." " See here. Miss Parthie, when a young lady runs away with a young man (and it is common enough, because without the written consent of parents a young lady under twenty-one can not get married in Virginia) it would be rather against her — don't you think so'?— all her life, to have it talked about by everybody, if she was not nuirried to him after all." She sprang to her feet, her eyes Hash- ing. " 1 Would nut many you now," she cried, "Phil (Irymes, to save myself from drown- ing. 'I'ou dare — you dare to be Sd mean, so cowardly, as to hold such a threat over me! But I'll take any risk. 1 call upon this clergyman to witness I refuse you, cast you off, reject you, despise you. If 1 am drowned, as I supjiose I shall be in a few moments, and if any man on board this boat escapes, I implore him to take my last words to my poor father. Tell him 1 ask his par- don, and that 1 obeyed him at the last." Her Voice sank to a moan. "Dear Parthie— Miss Parthenia." Phil I irymes cried in her ear "you have loved me; you loved me this morning, you know. You are here of your own free-will. Vou 14 'LORD ALIENS DAUGHTER. will love me again by-and-by, and think better of me. Say a kind word to me. If, as you say, we are all going to be lost, let us be drowned as man and wife. Let us die together." Again she looked at him. .\11 passion had gone out of her face, and great tears filled her eyes. " I am sorry for you," she said, " and I forgive you. You had entangled me against my will, and used your power over me till I consented to run off with you. Let me take all the blame. But here 1 pause. I know my duty now, and go no further. Say, if you will, that I was false, and jilted you. Take what you please from a i)oor girl's good name, but henceforth I am rid of you. I shall not die as your wife or as your promised wife, but as my father's daughter." She sank down, sobbing, on the deck. Our situation was fast growing hopeless. Nothing could now restrain our boat from going headlong into the rapids, and all on board were only too familiar with accounts of the disasters. that had taken place there. We had all seen boats stove on those black sharp rocks, we had all heard stories of brave men lost in those roaring rapids, and to expect our clumsy scow and awkward crew could venture safely through the dangerous path was to expect a miracle. The rapids stretch out about half a mile, beginning rather more than a mile below Harper's Ferry. When the water is low the surface of the Potomac during that half mile is black with rounded rocks thick as a shoal of porpoises, but now, the river being very full, they were almost all sub- merged, and the water was for half a mile churned into creamy foam. It became evi- dent that the fury of the current was so great that the boat would be dashed in pieces by the first collision, and there was nil probability she could drift through with- out striking upon some of them. Among the crew was an old soldier who loved to boast that he had been at Water- loo. I dare say he had fought bravely in the ranks in the excitement of the battle, but now, upon an unfamiliar element, and in a situation in which he could not lift a hand to save himself, he was as frightened as any of them. There was nothing for it but to sit still and be drowned. The crew fell on their knees ; they prayed, they vowed, they wept. They had a vague, unreasoning instinct that it was the duty of their superiors to save them. They implored us in the names of their poor wives and children to check the onward progress of the boat and to put them ashore. The little parson had stood utterly be- wildered and quite helpless at first. I had fancied the great weight of his profession had crushed the manhood out of him ; but now he rose to the occasion as a man. Professionally he was quite out of his ele- ment, with papists calling on their saints ; so he gave up his clerical character, not knowing how to support it in that emer- gency, and fell back on the human nature that was in him. He joined myself and Blackman at the oar, by which we were en- deavoring to keep her straight in the thread of the current. Blackman began to advise him to avail himself of any chance of safety. " But I can not save myself," he cried, "and leave the lady." Phil Grymes was now utterly useless. From time to time he " made his moan " to me or to the parson. "She has thrown me over. She has given me the sack. You might knock me down with a feather." 1 saw our only hope was to run boldly into the rapids, and take our chance of go- ing through without striking. I took off my heavy coat and boots, though the thermometer was almost zero, and stood by the poor girl, who, shivering with cold, terror, and excitement, still clung to her ring-bolt on the deck, and looked up to me for protection. " Miss Parthie," I said, " when we strike, cling fast to that ring. I am going to loosen a trap-door behind it. The door will float if the boat goes to pieces. Hold to the ring firmly. Then let the water do with you what it will. I will be near you, and will swim beside you. Don't waste your strength by efforts of your own. Go down with the stream, and keep afloat until you slip below into the eddy. Then, if they have any sense at Farmer Bayne's, they'll find some way to save us." " Yes," said the parson, " and I, too, can swim ; and while I live will also swim beside you." "Oh, Mr. Keilson," said the poor girl, lifting her tearful face from her wet hands, "God would have had me in His care had I been lost while in the path of duty. F)Ut now you all had better give me up. I feel like .Jonah. 1 wish I had to die in a good cause," she added, in a low voice, turning ■LOUD ALLKX'S UAHUITER. 15 her eyes toward I'hil i Irymes with a shud- der. "You have been very hard on him. Miss I'arthie." said I, feeling that she looked to me for his excuse. " You have taken the spirit out of him." " Do you think 1 have been hard on him ? Not more than he deserves. How can I be expected to respect a man who has no help for me or any one in time of troulde '.' " " He is braver than he seems," 1 said. '"The truth i.s, he's been drinking overnight. A Tuan loses command over his own nerves when he suffers from reaction." tut the spirit of self-will had got posses- sion of them. Phil (Jrymes saw it, and, ex- cited by the presence of 'Lord .VUen and his rival on the bank, grew boisterous, and showed signs of heading a mutiny against me. In vain, after ripping up a jilank and ex- amining the timbers at the boat's bottom, I ]ironounceloyers, due, 1 sujipose, to the fuss 'Lord Allen made over my share in the adventure. (irymes lived to consider his discomfi- ture a joke, and it became the most bril- liant chapter in an amusing narrative he used to tell of his ventures and adventures in the paths that should have led him to the temple of matrimony. A great many years later I heard he had been married to a well-to-do widow, somewhere in the mountains, who smoked a clay pipe, and who kept him in good order.

AN INTERESTING RELIC. THERE was a time, but that was years ago, when the building of a railroad was not looked upon as a usurpation of individual rights. A good road in those days was a blessing to a community and there was patriotism enough to go around to assist any body of men or corporation who benefited a community by the inaugu- ration of new methods in this direction. When the IJaltimore & Ohio Railroad began its first struggles for existence, it found it necessary to use great quantities of wood for its rails and cross ties, and as a consequence, the price of wood immediately went up and its progress greatly hindered; but there was one person, and that person a woman, who, inspired by patriotism and the welfare of future generations, turned over to the railroad company her estates in Maryland, inviting the president and direc- tors of the new company to help themselves to the timber on her lands, which covered some seven or eight hundred acres, lying north of Monrovia, Md., on the original line of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad between Baltimore and Frederick. This patriotic woman refused to accept any remuneration for her gift, but the president and directors of the railroad company wishing to show their appreciation of such remarkable ser- vice, presented her with a silver pitcher suitably engraved, in commemoration of her valorous off:'er. The pitcher and the original letter are in possession of her son, Mr. Wil- liam Downey, who resides at New Market, Frederick I'ounty, Md. Mr. Downey, who is quite advanced in years, prizes the relic with great satisfaction, and recollects the visit of Mr. Thomas, the first president of the railroad, who with the directors made the presentation gift in person. At that time Mr. Downey was six years old, and on the day of the visit was suffering with chills and fever; Mr. Thomas suggested that the boy be given cayenne pepper in cider, and consequently a pitcher of cider was sent for, and after it had been generously sampled by the visitors, Mr. Thomas took from his pocket a vial of pepper, and the youth was given his dose. The prescription failed to have the desired effect, and the boy was worse than before. After the visitors had left, the good Mrs. Downey expressed her opinion that it was not so much the cure that was desired by her visitors, as it was their own selfish desire to drink the cider. In the letter to .Mrs. Downey, which was written by one of the good (Quakers who were conspicuous in the origin of the first railroad of the land, the delicate handling of the gift was carefully managed. There were not, perhaps, so many letters written in those days of early railroading as there are at the present time, and more attention could be given to the wording of each letter. It reads as follows: Office of Constri:ction, B. & Ohio R. Road. Baltimore, Deer. 15th, 1831. To Cordelia Downey, Respected Frienti. The president and directors of the Balto. & Ohio Rail Road Company, having through their agents become acquainted with the friendly manner in which thou hast aided their enterprise by furni.'ihing a quan- tity of timber for their use. at a time when their pressing wants and exigencies subjected them to very gross impositions from others, beg leave to tender for thy acceptance the accompanying piece of plate, — not as the ralue of the favour conferred, but in testimony of their grateful respect for thy liberality and good feelings on the occasion. It affords me great pleasure to state, from a thor- ough knowledge of their views and policy on the subject, that the directors of the company in conduct- ing this great work towards its final completion, are not actuated alone by mercenary motives. They are inrtuenced by considerations of a high minded and l)atriotic character, and whilst they will be disposed at all times to render perfect justice to every one with whom they have dealings, it is their sincere desire to reciprocate friendly acts towards them, in the distribu- tion of such favours as it may be in their power to bestow without compromitting the interests of their constituents. Permit me individually to offer my best wishes for thy prosperity and happine.ss. Very respectfully thy friend, (Signed.) James P. Stabler, Supt. Construction. Mrs. Downey in her reply to the pres- ident and directors of the railroad company said: To THE President and Directors of THE Baltimore & Ohio Rail Roam Company. Gentlemen: — The handsome present which you tender me, in consideration, as you are pleased to say, of the facilities I have afforded you in the e.xecution of the magnificent enterprise so ably conducted by you, I accept with great pleasure. You have my most ardent wishes for your complete success in a work of such high promise in the promotion of the National prosperity. I am yours, gentlemen, Very respectfully, (Signed.) Cordelia H. Downey. ,4 A' IXTERESTIXG RELIC. 21 The iiitcher which was recently jihoto- inji illustration (frontispiece), contains the graphed and reproduced in the accompany- inscription: HAl.TO. & OHIO RAIL ROAIi COMP Y TU COROELIA IIOWNEY.

Lee fought for supremacy in that memorable campaign of Maryland. and successfully close in towards? Paltimore and Washington. With eijual determination the I'nion forces gradually strengthened to check his advance, consequently by Fall, the bulk of both armies were on Maryland's soil near Ilagerstown and Frederick and in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry. THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM. Briefly, on September 10th General Lee started three columns to capture Harper's Ferry, succeeding in occupying Maryland Heights in Maryland and Loudon Heights in Virginia, under command of (leneral Thumas J. Jackson. On September 14th the two battles of South Mountain, 10 miles from Harper's Ferry took place, the first at Turner's Gap between Major-General Burnside command- ing the right wing of the Union Army and Major-Generals Longstreet and D. H. Hill of the Confederate forces. The Federal Army numbered about 35,000 and the Con- federate Army 2.^),0()n. The other battle at Crampton's Gap in the same mountain After the famous artillery battle from the mountain tops of Harper's Ferry was fought, .Jackson, without waiting to receive the surrender of Colonel Miles, leaving that to General A. P. Hill, moved quickly north- ward to Antietam to reinforce (General Lee's command, and the Union Army followed closely to encounter the full com- mand, which resulted in the terrible carnage of Antietam. Early in the morning of the 16th, (ien- eral Burnside had instructions to put his corps in motion upon the Sharpsburg road, but was to remain near General ilcClellan ^mam ^■PP;^'''>\K ■ /'■■■' - ^B^^^' .^di^. y •,-'*t'.dik-'lf' I^^^^^^^^^^^H 2 ^tiT^^^^^^^^^H ^E^'jft'-lr^''' "'•'^ " W^^^^mL^ ^^^- i -I w?m ^^H^^;-^^^||i ,' ,. _ . ^? n^^ "■■■'.:..'-■* sns irff <' e,> ^'"■'^iCaB '^mrnm.' h --■^'^^'■■-^^Mim^ b^i > : "^ ^^ / -. if. i L ■■1 -.^■■mam THE SUNKKN ROAD — BLOODY LANE. (Phutn by Phrcaiier, Ha^erstnwn, MdJ was fought between Major-General Franklin of the Union forces and Brigadier-(;eneral Cobb of Confederate forces. The Union forces were victorious and the Confeder- ates only retreated after a most terrible struggle against overwhelming numbers. The next day on September 15th, however, the Confederates closed in on the Union forces at Harper's Ferry commanded by Col- onel Dixon S. Miles and compelled them to capitulate, surrendering about 12,500 men. This was considered one of the most re- markable mistakes of the Union forces, but Colonel Miles shortly afterwards being mortally wounded did not live to answer the court of inquiry which would certainly have followed. to await news of General Franklin, who had received orders previously to move in Pleasant Valley and relieve Harper's Ferry. It soon developed that the Confederate forces were located in force near Keedys- ville, and orders were given positioning the Federal forces in such manner as they could be readily handled as occasion demanded. In their retreat from South ilountain, the Confederate forces had been closely followed by a division of General Richard- son, who halted near the .\ntietam River, on the right of Sharpsburg road. General Sykes, with a division of regulars, occupied a position on the left of the road. By the afternoon of the Kith, the two contending forces were practically lined up THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM. 3 in battle array at Sharpsburg, and desul- tory tirinjr commenced immediately, at no pre-concerted sifjnal. The disposition of the I'nion forces for the impendinir battle, was as follows: <;en- eral Sumner's corps, with Hank's division, occupied the center; (leneral Hooker's corps, with Pennsylvania Reserves and Franklin's company on the right, and Porter's corps on the left of Sumner: Purn- side on the extreme left, with the view of turning the enemy's right tlank. (leneral Pleasanton supported the center with 2.-")(i(l cavalry and four batteries. Sumner's and Hooker's corps were on both sides of the Sharpsburg turnpike, near Keedysville. In the attack of the Union forces. Hut the morning of the 17th the i)ositions of the Confederate forces were found to be materially changed. The larger portion of the tr()o])s were withdrawn behind the opposite heights. In the neighborhood of bridge .\o. '■->, all the favorable heights were occui}ied by artillery and the Confed- erate line occupying the angle formed by the Potomac and Antietam. ' ieneral -lack- son's forces occupied the left tlank, sup- ported by Ceneral -J. E. P. Stewart; (General II. 11. lliil the immediate center, and Cen- eral Pongstreet the right tlank, supjiorted by (leneral .\. P. Hill. The struggle commenced on the after- no: ITNKKK CHI KCH. (I'll..!.. I.y n,r , Hjigrrst.-wn. M-1 t advance of them, near the Antietam river, (ieneral Richardson's division was posted, (ieneral Sykes' division occujiied a position on the left of the turnpike, protecting bridge .\o. li over the .'\ntietani, while opposite, but distant from bridge No. S, was ( leneral Hurnside's cori)a. A general inspection by (leneral McClellan resulted in Purnside's corps being moved nearer the bridge, occu[)ying the heights in the rear, with orders to guard against the ai)proach of the Confederates from Harper's Ferry, (leneral Lee had, on the l.")th, made a formidable display of his forces, exposing his infantry in order to delay the fight as long as possible, to receive re-inforcements. This continued during the Kith, inviting noon of the IHth. ( leneral Mc( 'lellan directed (lenerals Hooker and Mansfield, supjiorted by Sumner and Franklin, to attack the ('on- federate left, and Purnside simultaneously to attack their right, and upon the success of these movements to advance on the cen- ter with all forces at command. .Vt 4 o'clock (leneral Hooker forded the Antietam at bridge No. 1, crossing out of sight and range of the Confederate batteries, entered an open field protected by woods, and formed his lines with Ricketts on the left; Meade, with the Pennsylvania Reserves, in the cen- ter, and Doubleday on the right. The battle opened with an artillery duel, which soon ceased im account of darkness, (len- eral Mansfield's corps was ordered to cross THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM. the Antietam during the night, and General Sumner's during the early morning of the 17th. (The accompanying map of the battle- field will help materially in following the movements of the armies in this first great battle. ) At the very break of dawn on Wednes- day the 17th the great battle commenced in all its fierceness. The Pennsylvania Reserves under (ieneral Meade, followed by General Hooker's corps, attacked the right of the Confedei'ate line, driving them across the newly-ploughed field into a line of woods Sumner, using the division of General Sedg- wick and brigades of Generals l-l-l(IATIN(i. line of heights upon which the Confeder- ates were firmly posted. A bloody combat was the result, lasting nearly four hours, at the end of which the Confederates were driven to the crest of the hill, but still in imssession of the heights. The attempts of the Confederates to turn many directions, and a continuous stream of shot and shell was directed into the nar- row lane from which there was no escape, and the dead and wounded soldiers fell upon each other mangled and bleeding, while the wagon ruts in the road served as gutters to carry the swift eddying streams of blood THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM. which stained the fences, the unharvested corn and the dry clay of that September day. General French's division was engaged on the left, General Meagher's brigade on the right, General Caldwell's on his left and Colonel Brooks in support. Meagher's brigade soon engaged the enemy and ad- vancing under heavy fire drove them back, and in doing so suffered terribly in officers and men. Taking advantage of rough ground the enemy attempted to gain a position to the right of Richardson but were not success- ful. Caldwell's brigade attacked the enemy opposite (Jeneral French's division, pushing them back, but they still held the forces on the right in check from their position in the sunken road, but they were later flanked and compelled to surrender. The entire brigade now advanced driv- ing the enemy into the cornfield. At this point the enemy endeavored to turn the left of the division but were repulsed with great loss, and also pressed the right of the division but without success. The enemy now attacked directly in front but were driven back allowing General Richardson to occupy a very advantageous position on the crest of a hill. Soon after this General Richardson was mortally wounded, (jeneral Hancock being placed in command of the division. General Meagher's brigade now took a position in the center of the line. General Hancock being short of artillery and being under a heavy enfilade fire from the enemy, a portion of whom were advanc- ing, he obtained a battery from Franklin's corps and frustrated the attack. About the middle of the day Franklin's corps arrived, and, while they had been intended as a reserve, it was necessary to dispatch them to the assistance of the right wing. Upon approaching the field General Smith found the fourth artillery without support and relieved it with two regiments of Hancock's brigade, and later ordered the other regiments of Hancock's brigade with artillery to the threatened position. As the enemy still continued to advance an additional brigade was ordered up and the enemy was driven back. At this time General Sumner ordered a postponement of offensive operations for fear of a repulse of this, the only available corps for attack, would jeopardize the safety of the whole army. General Porter's corps now occupied a position on the east of Antietam creek, opposite the center of the enemy's line, and guarded the main ap- proach to the Federal trains of supplies. Great watchfulness was required here for fear the enemy might pierce the center and capture these supplies- By the middle of the afternoon Sum- ner's, Hooker's and Mansfield's corps had sustained serious losses and art'airs had taken on a most unpromising look. General McClellan now ordered two brigades from Porter's corps to reinforce the right. Six batallions of Sykes' had been thrown across the Antietam bridge to drive back the enemy's sharpshooters. Warren's brigade was detached to hold a position on Burn- side's right and rear. As portions of the Federal troops were now so scattered and demoralized the dift'erent commanders were directed to cease ofl'ensive operations and to hold their positions. Un the morning of the 17th General Pleasanton with his cavalry division and horse batteries was ordered towards Sharps- burg, across bridge No. 2 to support the left of General Sumner's line. It was necessary to throw out cavalry skirmishers as the bridge was covered by a fire of artillery and sharpshooters. These sharpshooters were driven off, and the batteries estab- lished, opening on the enemy with good eft'ect. General Sykes' division had been from the Ifjth exposed to the enemy's artillery and sharpshooters. General Morell relieved I leneral Richardson on the right of (Jeneral Sykes" on the 16th. The batteries under General Pleasanton being in a position of great exposure, were relieved by a batallion of infantry and later four batallions of regular infantry were sent across to assist in driving off the sharpshooters. General Burnside's troops held the left of the line opposite bridge No. 3. The attack on the right was to have been supported by an attack on the left, and in preparation for this attack Burnside's corps moved forward to the left and took up a position nearer the bridge. Early on the 17th General Burnside was ordered to form his troops and be in readiness to assault the bridge in his front, and to await further orders. It was not until one o'clock that the bridge was carried by a brilliant charge of the Slst NewYork and -ilst Pennsylvania \'olunteers. Troops were then thrown over, the enemy retreating to the heights. Burnside then halted till three o'clock, McClellan then ordering him to advance at once and carry rHK HATTLE OF AXTIKTAM. the enemy's pusition on the heij^hts. After nuK-h delay this order was carried out. ISy this time it was nearly dark, and stronjj; reinforcements just then reaching the enemy from Harper's Ferry, attacked Gen- era! Hurnside's troops on their left Hank, and forced them to retire to a lower line of hills nearer the bridge. It is much to be regretted that < Jeneral I'.urnside's movements were not executed a couple of hours earlier, as a position could have then been secured upon the heights, enfilading the greater part of the enemy's lines and turning their right and rear. In the report of his operations, General I turn- side says as follows: "Colonel Crook's brigade was ordered to storm the bridge. General Rodman was ordered to cross the ford below the bridge. From Colonel Crook's position it was found impossible to carry the bridge. General Sturgis was ordered to make a detail from his division for that purpose. He sent forward the 2d Maryland and Gth New Hampshire. These regiments made several gallant attacks, but were driven back. With the aid of artillery fire the 51st New York and olst Pennsylvania were then ordered to assault the bridge, which, with bayonets fixed, they cleared. The division followed with the brigade of Colonel Crook as sup- port. The Confederates withdrew to higher ground and opened upon the troops with artillery. General Rodman's division crossed the ford and joined on the left of Sturgis, with Scammon's brigade as sup- port. General Wilcox's division was ordered across to take position on boot, an' jes as hit wa' tore when he jumps dat hunile at do green mount. Kf po' ole Mis' could jes see dat son I urn — urn — ! I's as prf)ud as ef he wa' ma ve'y own." "I know you love Dick, Tncle -lerry, we both love him, we both love him! And you won't make any mistake Tncle -lerry? You'll put it down by Millison's crossroads, with the heel lying to the north and the top boot facing our way?" she asked as she looked pleadingly at the old man, while her hand ever so softly touched the slightly bent shoulders. "Now chile, did yo' I'ncle .Jerry ever fo'get anyt'ing? Ain't Marsa Dick ma own chile too? .\n' is I gwine t'let any o'dem cold varmints come a gobblin' him up jes like he wa' a angel wid de do' o' Heaben shut tight agin' him? Come, come chile, yo' ain't fo'got t' trust yo' ole .Jerry is yo'," he asked wistfully. "Why no, I'ncle Jerry, as good as you have always been, the very best person in the world to me except Mr. Dick and old Mammy .Jinny," and her two white arms went around the old black slave's shoulders. It was a very sweet picture that the light fell upon ; this strange sympathy of a fair young woman in her simple assur- ances to the old black slave, who with bared head reverently lowered and holding the incongruous looking boot in his hand said softly, "De good Lawd help his chillen's;" and Virginia llerkeley felt the simple prayer would i)e answered in heaven. "I'm going to let you go now, Cncle Jerry," she said as she released her arms, "the heel lying to the north, remember, and the boot top our way." She called back as she passed to the doorway, "and — oh I'ncle Jerry, if you meet any one - I mean the 'other side,' hadn't you lietter put the boot in your coat? or would it do to say your shoe hurt your foot, I'ncle Jerry, and it iiinched, or isn't there something you coulii say reasonable?" "Chile, jes yo' leave it t' me. I'll tell de ole scallewags, dat I uses dat boot t' sharpen ma razor wid, and maybe dey'll hab de seldom intelligence t' b'lieve what de Bible say, 'Doan yo' let yo' right han' know what de lef han' is up to,'" and I'ncle Jerry chuckled to himself as he rode along. "Dat chile thinks I's a gwine t' fo'git, mayl)e, when I's as upraisin' in ma heart fo' t'see Mar.saDick an' no harm I' him. as 1 always has been." 12 A WOMANLY WOMAN. At Millison's crossroads Jerry dismount- ed and turned his horse with a loose bridle in the direction whence he had come. He gath- ered the boot from out his jean trousers leg, which from great feelings of modesty he neither betrayed to his young mistress his intentions of its sure hiding or the possi- bility of such a thought; with minute peer- ings over the stone walls on either side of the cross roads and with great strategic unconcern walking on a little ways and then back again, he deposited the boot with great precision in a small hollow by the side of the roads. Making sure again that he had not been detected, he looked approvingly at the strange signal as he quietly observed: "I reckons dat's bout as good as any o' dem ginerals an' cunnels ud do it. Now Marsa Dick yo' knows yo' c"n jes ride dis road an' give dem rascals de slip. De heel t' de no'th an' de top t' de manshun. Mis' V'ginia she wa' mighty clevah 'bout dis yer planin' 'gainst dem no'the'n princes." Many hours after old .Jerry had reported the successful completion of his errand and Berkeley was dozing under the balmy in- fluence of an early morning nap, a grey uniformed officer riiling a spirited charger, yet cautiously making his way, alighted before the hospitable portal of ISerkeley Hall. Immediately the great door bounded open and Virginia Berkeley radiant with pleasure, put her two small arms around this great big soldier's neck as he gathered her in his arms like a little child, and gave him a warm hearty kiss. "Oh Dick!— oh Dick. I'm so glad." "Not half so glad as I, little sister." "It's too good to be true— too good. Just think nearly two whole years and I've just been longing to see you. Yes, Uncle Jerry, its Marsa Dick and tell Aunt Jinny and all the rest he has come, and oh Dick I can't leave you even a little minute. It's such a sweet little time for us both," and she fondly patted the great, broad shouldered man. By now the wide hall with its marks of an old gentility was one black mass. The seventy or more slaves with their small pickaninnies came crowd- ing forward to see "Marsa Dick," and countless row\s of teeth were shining in appreciati(m of Marsa Dick's handshake all the way round. It was a great welcome, full of a truthful hearty cordiality and it was not until Miss Virginia reminded them that "Mr. Dick was most awfully hungry," that they began to realize that all things that day would have to be done with an unaccustomed swiftness. .-\s they were about to leave for their various morning duties, Virginia Berkeley bade them stop for a minute whilst she spoke to them. " We all are so glad Marsa Dick has come back to us even for this little while, and because I love him so much, and he is all I have but you all," her voice trembled slightly, and each pair of black eyes were full of an une.xpressed sympathy and pity, "and — and because you love him and rever- ence him and care for me that we will all be careful this day to protect old Berkeley's guest against any — any harm coming to him, won't we".' "Yes honey— o' co'se chile. Bless dat heart," rang from one and all and if \'ir- ginia Berkeley had feared a traitor among her black company their simple hearty assurance made her faith more strong. She was instantly her bright self again. "Now Uncle Jerry, you take the Cap- tain's sword and give it a high polish. I saw you looking at it. just aching to give it one of your 'pertickler extras.' " she said as she unbuckled the belt from around her brother's big waist, "Aunt Jinny if 'they' do come, I'll let you fight them off in the kitchen, whilst I get the Captain out of the way." She laughed quite merrily as the negro and negress with great im- portance bore the sword away between them. The morning wore itself away too quickly. Passing to and fro continually the male slaves were keeping an unapparent vigi- lance. Two horses, one at the front of the house and one at the back of the kitchen, bridled and equipped for riding were in readine.=s for any emergency. Several times old Jerry had been seen to stop in his pilgrimage of guardian of the watch and keep a steadfast gaze down toward the Millison roads. He came to the door of the low ceilinged drawing room, where the brother and sister were sitting, and with his usual low obeisance said, "Scuse me Marsa Dick, but it seem ter me dat some- thin' like half dozen riders is a comin' down from de crossroads. Dey is a long ways off jes now, but dey is a comin' in furst rate step." Virginia Berkeley arose with a start. Instantly her whole attitude had changed. She rushed to the door and looked out. She .1 lln.l/,l.\7. 1" irn.l/.l.V. 1:1 could see dust clouds otf in the distance and with great speed traveling nearer with fastly moving horsemen. She lost no time in idle expressions of fear or inactivity. She stood quite still for a few moments lost in deep thought, and having planned what was best to be done, lost no time in carrying out her lines of action. "Tncle .Jerry tell Hesiciah to saddle my riding horse and cut across the fields with 'ilreen Daisy;' Dick take Uncle Billy's old clothes and leave yours here- change them in the kitchen — .\unt .linny can help you. There's no use trying to hide here, there are too many of them, if it is a Northern squad after you, and leave the two horses all saddled; they'll think you are here and in hiding, and Fll do my best to make them think so too, if you can only get away; and if you can't, cut acro.ss the fields on your hands and knees and meet Hesiciah at the edge of the creek and get away on "(Ireen Daisy." They'll have to take Mrginia Berkeley before they take you, that's all." What a beautiful woman i)ick thought her as her strong courageous sjiirit lighted up her soft face with a lumi- nous fire. "I can't let you do any such thing Leeny" — Dick's sweet old childhood's pet name for her. Mrginia Berkeley would, for the tender child recollection of that fond name have faced (irant and all his proud host alone. How lonely she had been without it. "Who'll take care of you. all alone with those men, and ynu such a delicate woman. I must nut leave you alone." ".Vow- Dick we can't argue it out like we used to do. We haven't time. There are gentlemen all over the world, and there will lie at least one among them, and be- sides Dickey, no man will do aught to me but be very civil. I'm not afraid, and 1 can't loose you and just think what it means for you to win. That's a dear, good brother," she said coaxingly. "I'lease hurry, oh please do. They are I'nion soldiers Dick, 1 see them plainly now, and they're awfully near." Her voice was ring- ing through the house as she called after her brother as he hastened in the kitchen to make the change for a disguise. No time was to be lost. Her heart seemed ready to burst its bounds in her excited breath- ings. She tried to make herself very calm, for what might come she knew not. She leaned wearily for a moment against one of the old pillars that sujiported the entrance to the broad staircase. .As she raised her- self from her position she caught a glimpse through the doorway of the squad of soldiers riding hastily up the pathway, and a man's voice giving an order to surround the house. For one moment she felt as if she would drop from fright. .And Dick, her very dearest possession, her only near kin tie. was he safe, had he gone? Would (lod protect him and take him safely within the lines of his side of the fight. .An officer, tall and with a finely sensi- tive face rode at the head of his men. ■lust as he was about to hurriedly dismount, he too having caught a glimp.-e of the woman standing in the hallway, \'irginia Berkeley ran hastily to the door that led back to the kitchen way. She threw it wide open and called to the only person in the room, "Take these things and hurry to the closet in my room, quick, oh quick!" She almost fell from excitement against the door as she entered the hall again just as the officer came in. He bowed courte- ously, but lost no time in making his de- mands. "1 understand that Caiitain Bichard Berkeley of General Lee's staff is in hiding here"?" .\s he did so \'irginia Berkeley cmssed to the foot of the staircase and ascended several steps. As she reached the last one the clanking of a saber accidently against the steps above, which were reached from a hallway from the rear of the house, caused lioth woman and man to look up, and as they did so, each caught a slight glinqise of grey woolen stuff", unmistakably a uni- foi'm. "Will you. if Cajitain Bi'rkeley is here, give him u|), as he is our ]irisiiner'.'" Tlie woman's face wore a proud scorn. " I have no (|uestions to answer." " That was ( 'aptain Berkeley who passed to the room above just this instant, or is someone else in hiding here also'.'" His demand was firm. The woman kejit a mean- ing silence. Her bosom rose and fell with an assumeii or real agitation. Colonel liar- wood, looking u[iat this scornful, beautiful woman, realized thr inijiression that she was very womanly. llr gave her a ipiiet scrutiny, such as she had never received from any man before, and which carried an irritati(m with it quite apart from that which the present occasion warranted. She felt that before her was a man who usually 14 A WOMANLY WOMAN. had his own way, and she must needs be very firm and determined as he, if she was to win her day. The Colonel gave orders for the lower floor to be searched, while he pro- ceeded to carry out his duty and at the same time show the proper courtesy to this woman, of whom he felt somehow he dare not by force accomplish his end. " Lady, I shall have to ask that you let me, with my two men, search the upper rooms. I promise you all the courtesies of my position and of such a trying ordeal." "You mean the indignities of such a one," she answered, haughtily. The man bit his lip as he repressed a reply to her angry remark. She stood near , the top of the stairway now, and in the middle, her smooth, fair arms, from which the loose, white leeves fell away, extended on either side of her, guarding the way. Colonel Harwood stopped as he was making his way up toward her. He thought her very beautiful, and somehow the man's chivalrous heart went out to this lone woman so bravely holding her own against him, and somehow he despised himself in his position. Those standing in the hall beneath felt it, too, and wondered at the woman's unique charm. The man looked at her and seemed undecided what to do. He compelled her to give him her glance. Her's was full of defiance, but as she looked she told herself again that if she must win she must hold her own against the subtle charm of that man's gaze. There was a tender sympathy in it that was very compelling. She knew he was genuinely sorry for her position, and she made good use of the weapon he had unconsciously thrown in her way. At last he spoke. "May I ask if this is Miss Berkeley?" He had heard of Miss Virginia Berkeley as the toast of the Old Dominion, and for that very reason he had secured the very position he was despising so utterly now that he might get a glimpse of the woman who, as mistress of one of the largest Virginia plantations, was known not only for her beauty alone, but her great womanliness — and Colonel Harwood had a weakness for a womanly woman. He had always said he had really known but one, he wanted to really know but two ; the one his mother and the second — well the Colonel was grow- ing older and he had never seemed to find the second one to his choice. His curiosity never left him in doubt when he heard of a " womanly woman." He had usually sought her out and had gone away disappointed. Miss Berkeley gave a condescending bow. The Colonel thought if only the woman would unbend a little. He longed for some odd reason to see her unbend. The Colonel felt obliged to proceed. ".Miss Berkeley, if you will give me your word that this house harbors no one alien to the cause of the United States, although we both saw a grey uniform and heard a sabre clank on the stairs above — I will in no way intrude a presence that can't but be distasteful to you, and which you make no show of disclosing." " I have no word to give," she answered quietly. "Then I must force you to accept the only alternative left to me," as he took a step forward. Her arms grasped the banisters on either side, and she answered him — " I with my black people am alone here, and as the guardian of my home I insist on protecting my house against your intrusion.'" Her words were intended to convey a fine sarcasm. Colonel Harwood gave her another of his compelling looks as he said firmly, "Miss Berkeley, do not put me to the pain of forcing you out of your position." Instantly the woman's demeanor chang- ed. Gathering up the long folds of her gown with a grace very pleasing she invited the otticer with the guards to step forward, while she showed them the way. The Colonel drew a long breath of relief and with the two men, made the old hall resound to their heavy treads on the satin- wood floor. The Colonel followed with attentive watchful eye his fair guide. She took them through a series of rooms, and with veiled sarcasm, opened small drawers of little rosewood dressers, desiring the Colonel to peep in and under, " lest he miss a valuable prisoner." The man felt nettled. He felt like picking up the woman much as he would a small child who had been naughty, and then the Colonel wondered what he would do with her when he had done so. They made the tour of the rooms, but one, all richly furnished. The guards at the two entrances of the upper halls kept a grave and expectant silence. The woman turned to the Colonel. " Have I quite satisfied you now. Colonel? " Her voice was very musical. The Colonel .1 WOMAXLY WOMAN. 15 turned provokingly red. He wasn't cjuite satisfied. "There is one other room we have not searched," he said firmly. The woman apparently hesitated. " That is my room, Colonel — just as you wish. Will you enter?" As he did so she crossed over to one side and held herself aj^ainst the wall, where wainscoting of old mahogany reached midway to the celling. Whether or not it was some chance workmanshij) in a very old colonial home, or whether the carved mahogany was the opening to some secret inclosure, the Colonel cnuld not instantly tell. While he was deliberating in his mind its true position to the rest of the room, a clank of a sword distinctly reached him, the sound coming from hack of the woman's position. " Miss Berkeley, some one is secreted in the closet back of you," the Colonel afiirmed with directness. Instantly the ohl spirit of defiance changed the woman's counte- nance, and as the Colonel came near and with his hand sounded the woodwork back of her, her arms were extended in the same defending attitude as on the stairway. The Colonel now felt sure in his mind that his premise was true. Perhaps there were two prisoners. I'erhaps the woman had some near friend, a very dear friend, that she was protecting so savagely. The thought was awfully unpleasant to him. His forehead wrinkled in displeasure, but he had his man secured now and he could use some magnanimity ; he would repay the proud scorn of the woman before him, who had taken such an ascendancy over him. He looked at her and confessed again to himself that she was very womanly. " Miss Berkeley, will you let me search the closet before which you are standing'.'" He was surprised at the quickness with which she refused his request — again he compelled her to meet his gaze. It plainly irritated her, but he meant to have his way. He stood some feet away and measured her small strength, at its best, with his own. He noticed the delicate draperies that fell so gracefully around her ; he noticed with close scrutiny the tenderness of the lines about the mouth. She was most womanly. .-Vnd then he l)egan to notice the dainty, feminine air of the room. He didn't call it dainty to himself, but he knew it was (luite unlike anything he had .seen for many years, and those were years of his boyhood. He noticed the pictures on the wall, reflecting the refined taste of the woman before him -jiictures she loved, and he liked them, too, but he didn't say so to himself ; and a woman's small, slender-legged desk — Chi[ipendale, the Colonel ('(included of rosewood, with its few, choice ornaments and more material affairs sjjreaii over its inlaid surface : and, too, he noticed an altar an altar in a woman's room that womanly woman's room — with its crucifix and candles, a rosary on its top with the books of prayer, and a little cushion of damask for her to kneel on. The Colonel could hardly resist going over to this mark of a wonum's higher, sensitive touch of refinement, and just touching that small, w-hite altar. He felt that he wasn't at all good enough for even that much, liut he lunged just to lay his hand on the place where she breathed her prayers. He closed his eyes in an instant's fond, hopeful thought, while through the white swi.ss draperies hanging at her windows was wafted to him on the balmy late afternoon breeze odors of the climbing June roses growing around the windows outside. A great longing came to the Colonel's heart and for one brief moment swept him oft" his feet. He opened his eyes, a heavy damp on his brow. Virginia Berkeley, strangely stirred, was looking at him with thoughtful eyes. The Colonel muttered to himself, "fool," and around his mouth firm lines set in uncontested liberty. " Miss Berkeley, will you ste|i aside from that closet'?" "Cidonel. I will not, now or later." .Again the soft curtains were blown about, filling the room with the fragrance of roses. Again the Colonel felt taken off his feet — and again his eyes closed for one brief moment of hopefulne.ss. Once more he murmured " fool," and called for the guards to step forward. The woman still held her own, and the clustered roses on the outside still continued to send their sweet- ness into the room. " Find some way to break into the room back of where the young woman is stand- ing you may be able to do so frcmi the roof above." The Colonel's voice w;is hard and unnatural. He hail hardly uttered the order when \'irginia Berkeley gave a scream and cried, " .\o, oh no. Colonel, no!" "Pierce the room and bring out the prisoner, dead or alive" the Colonel continued, but he had time for no more. A wild clanking and hammering from the inner side of the 16 A WOMANLY WOMAN. closet, mingled with an almost inaudible cry, and out burst a wild-eyed, red bandana- headed negress, waving a big saber in one hand and a scabbard in the other, while she ran to her young mistress crying, " Fo' de Lawd in Heben's sake, what am dey a doin' to ma honey chile," and taking her in her arms, used all the crooning expressions she had been wont to do from her " honey chile's" birth. Virginia Berkeley w-as radiant. The Colonel stood aghast, while the guards looked on in utter disgust at the turn affairs had taken. " Bless de Lawd dat Marsa Dick am safe 'nuf, chile, safe 'nuf. I's been nios' 'side ma se'f wid praisin' Zion, jes nios' 'side ma se'f. Dis big Cunnel ain't smart 'nuf fo' ma Mis', cause when she see yo' might be fooled, I picks up Marsa Dick's close an' runs up heah, an' jes let yo' see de teenyist, tinyist, littleist bit of de grey, and when I stumbles on de sword what he fo'git in his hurry, I wa" mighty feared it wa' all up. I's mighty sorry fo' yo' troubles, but Aunt Jinny wa'nt gwine to see her boy took by none o' yo' all." Again the odor of roses filled the Colonel's senses, and this time there was a sadness. He must go now, and he had seen the other womanly woman and he must leave her. He might have captured his would-be prisoner long ago, but that her presence made the lingering pleasant. He closed his eyes as he prepared himself to take his leave. Somehow the place held a strange, compelling longing over him. He would give half his remaining life just to stay in this quiet place — alone; with the womanly woman. Virginia lierkeley had gained her point. While leading ("olonel Harwood to believe she harbored her brother, he had had a chance to escape. She was happy. She looked at the Colonel and she wanted him to be happy too. She couldn't tell why, because she had had the greatest anti- pathy to the "other side," but someway she "felt Colonel -she didn't even know his name she blushingly acknowledged — was dift'erent somehow. Anyway she ad- mitted. she didn't care if he did. He looked unhappy. She went over to him. He opened his eyes and looked at her fair beauty. Her smile was full of tenderness and a wish to be forgiven. "Colonel" — she hesitated "Harwood" he inserted. She bowed her acknowledg- ments. "From your position toward me in this horrible war you have been most courteous and far more considerate than we are usually treated under the circum- stances, and I want you to accept my sincere thanks. Since you were consider- ate of me and gave me all the courtesies that 'your position would allow you,' may I offer you the courtesies that mine offer me and ask you and your officers to take tea with me before starting back. I do not ask it that anything may be gained on my side by your delay as my brother is quite safe by now." Again the roses sent their delicate per- fume to the Colonel's senses, and bowing he accepted. The horsemen were mounted to ride away all save Colonel Harwood. The little pick- aninnies looked with wonder as the strange procession moved off' down the pathway. The moon lighted up the old portico as it had the night before, but this night in- stead of the strange picture of the young woman and the old colored man, the soft rays fell on the Colonel as he bent low over the hand of Virginia Berkeley in fare- well. He gave the fair Southern woman one long, lingering look which she met but shyly, and setting his broad shoulders well back so that he never looked quite so well before in all his life the Colonel asked rather proudly: "Miss Berkeley, today has been your day to win. May I hope that some day I may come back when 1 can, and tell you what it would mean for me to win, the day that would be the proudest of my life?" There was no pleading, only a simple direct- ness, for which the woman liked him all the better. "I shall be glad to see you. Colonel Har- wood," she said simply, and as the Colonel again took her hand for farewell, she gave him the little cluster of white roses she had taken from her hair. The last man of the squad of soldiery that had so strangely linked itself in the day's life of Berkeley Hall passed through the gate at the end of the grounds, which Uncle .Jerry deferentially held open. Vir- ginia Berkeley stond alone on the old por- tico gazing dreamingly after the last re- treating horseman while little tender smiles lighted up the sweet face. She was lost in one happy dream. Uncle Jerry closed the gate; slowly and thoughtfully wended his way back to the "manshun." .1 WnMAXLY WiiMAX. 17 '■ Yo' can't fool yo' I'licle .Iitit chile.

Huccume hit dat 1 neber sees yo' dn dat liefo'T' as mm THE MARCH OF THE GALLANT SIXTH CORPS. BY MR. THOMAS CALVER. THERE were whispers of danger in Washington town, There were murmurs of fear of a foe coming down From the sheltering Maryland hills on the north, Like a tiger in search of his prey rushing forth. There was flying in haste with the treasures of wealth, There was hiding of moneys and jewels in stealth; There was massing of crowds on Potomac's fair shore — For they knew not that near was the gallant Sixth Corps. From the river to Brightwood the march then begun, Many miles in the dust and the midsummer sun. Through the city's rude streets often greeted with cheers, And. by patriots anxious and fearful, with tears; For the cause of the Union in peril then lay, Seeming hanging in doubt on events of the day. And they knew it would rally, triumphant, once more As they witnessed the march of the gallent Sixth Corps. To the national chiefs there were hours of suspense; There was rushing of men to the lines of defense — The militia untried and the hospital guest. The civilian with little of fight in his breast. And the President stood at the front of the line By the guns of Fort Stevens as if to divine If the foe could be held but an hour or two more — For he knew of the march of the gallant Sixth Corps. Then away from the city and up the rough roads. Past the lines of deserted suburban abodes. Up the hills steep and wearisome onward they went. All their hearts on the sight of the enemy bent. Never slacking their speed for refreshment or rest. To the line of the battle they eagerly pressed. And the President hailed them as never before As he saw the swift march of the gallant Sixth Corps. There was cavalry there, but their horses were not, Yet they made with their carbines a fight that was hot, And they drove otf the men of the enemy's hosts That were picking otf gunners and guards at their posts. But the chieftains well knew that the valiant display That was made of opposing the enemy's way Was pretense that might melt at a battle-line's roar. And they longed for the guns of the gallant Sixth Corps. Through the night on their guns they secured the repose That they needed to charge their fresh, confident foes; But at break of the morn they were quickly awake And their place on the battlefield ready to take. The assembly was sounded, the battle line formed, And the line of the menacing enemy stormed. But the foe soon discovered the flags that they bore. And they fled at the march of the gallant Sixth Corps. To the front in Virginia the word was rushed down For the Sixth Corps to haste to the Capital town; The assembly was sounded and quickly they sped To defend the fair home of the government's head. Not a moment was lost as they hurried away Over hills, down the James, into Chesapeake Bay, Up the river Potomac to Washington shore, Where the nation awaited the gallant Sixth Corps. Then the battle became a victorious rout; And it ended at last in a glad, linging shout From the line of defense round the Capital bent; And the citizens cheered, for they knew what it meant. But for those who laid down their young lives on that day We the sweetest of flowers on their couches will lay. In our hearts we will cherish with pride evermore The brave boys in the march of the gallant Sixth Corps. THE STRANGER. BY CAPTAIN T. M. M DilUCAl.I.. f. WK h;i(i just finished sujiper in our camp on the Susquehanna. That is, I'ncle Benny, the 'Little l)octor,' the Captain and myself, and had settled hack in our hammocks, now lazily watching the smouldering fire as it glowed fitfully in the evening light and again drinking in the beauties of our surroundings, with the big stream gliding steadily by the edge of our camp, its waters giving forth little gurgles of sound as they encountered the wood- strewn bank, producing a feeling of con- tentment and comfort which we thoroughly api)reciated. We had lighted our ]iipes and were smoking in silence, when the stillness was suddenly broken by " Hello, boys! Howdy?" as a long, lank fellow from the country back of us came up to our camp fire and squatted down. " Had any luck after the black beauties to-day?" and "I don't care if I do take a pipe full with you," as the Doctor's tobacco pouch was silently held in his direction. Filling his old corncob to its burned and blackened brim, he slowly puffed up a good light from a chunk of coal, which was deftly transferred from the camp fire to his pipe. After a few long, satisfying whiffs, he opened the conversation by say- ing, "Thar's another camp of good fellows up stream," after which brief information he evidently anticipated an avalanche of questions, as he settled himself by an almost imperceptible hitch or two into a more comfortable hollow in the ground and looked up expectantly. But the spell of evening was upon us and no one accepted the chal- lenge. Finally the Doctor remarked how much the present situation resembled an evening during the war, and what a relief it was to dwell on the morrow without its accompaniment of bloodsheil and horror. "Yes," came from Fncle Benny, "the 'Jrand Review inaugurated an era of pros- perity and peace that only veterans like ourselves could fully appreciate." Here the stranger (piickly s]}oke uji: " Yes, them cha[)s up in the other camp has a book called ' Beview of Reviews,' but I expect you have it, too." "No," said I'ncle Benny, "we have no books with us ; we are here only for a little outing and were talking about the (Jrand Review of the troojis in Washington after the war." The stranger's eyes instantly brightened up, and shifting a little nearer the fire he gave it a poke with his heel, remarking that he would like to hear something of them days. " Well," said Uncle l>enny, " how well 1 remember the day when the armies returned from the war and marched in review before the Bresident. They were young men then; strong and full of vim, ha]>py over the thought that peace had come and they were going back to their homes ; and their faces reflected the hai>piness within. It was a grand sight, I can tell you." Here Fncle Benny again filled his pipe, and as the light from his match flared up we could see his eyes glowing at the remembrance of that stirring scene. "Yes," he said, con- tinuing his narrative, "there was Orant, with his generals — Hancock, Meade, Terry, Sheridan, Slocum and others, all mounted upon spirited horses ; and ("uster, the ' Boy Ceneral,' with his golden curls flying in the breeze. I can see him now, his horse jump- ing and plunging, and at last running away up the avenue, the people cheering by thousands. Then ' Bap Sherman,' with his western army of bronzed veterans ; Howard, Logan, the pride of the volunteers, and many others. .\nd last, but not least, came the famous ' Bummers.' Such a sight ! Officers, men and horses crowned with wreaths of flowers. No one who witnessed that sight in 186.") can ever forget it." " Yes," chimed in the Doctor, " how time rolls by ! What a change in the grand old army as they juiss in review now before the Bresident a third of a century later. Their ranks sadly thinned, their heads white and their steps not quite so firm; but they still cajiture the cheerr, don't they. Cap?" .\fter which comforting thought the doctor again shifted the conversation back to I'ncle Benny. .Vfter a short silence, broken only by the monotonous song of the river and the regular splash from the oars of some fisherman slowly ]iulling his way u|) from the fishing grounds, said I'ncle Benny: "How well I remember that grand encampment after the review. It was located just south of the White House, and 20 THE STRANGER. it was a joyful sight to see old comrades greeting each other with the enthusiasm of boys, telling old stories and singing patri- otic songs; brothers met brothers, old friends turned up, and in some cases fathers and husbands were reunited to their families." At this point the captain remarked that he went from regiment to regiment during the encampment endeavoring to find a comrade who saved his life while swimming the Yazoo River with dispatches during the war. " I had almost reached the bank," said he, " near Haynes' I)luft", when my legs got caught in some sunken cane bru.sh. I was badly played out and would certainly have been drowned had not the fine young soldier plunged in and pulled me out." " Why, Captain," said the 'Little Doctor," "did you not tell me that the man who saved your life lived somewherenear Oswego, N.Y." " Yes, I did, and perhaps this stranger may know if any one by the name of Dobbs lives about here — Osborne Dobbs is the man I want to find." Upon hearing the name the stranger suddenly sat bold upright, his eyes wide open in amazement and too dumfounded to speak. At last, finding his voice, and with a broad smile of pleasure upon his face, he said: "Well, I guess I'm the man, for that's my name, and if you have a cross on your left breast tattooed in India ink, why you must be the captain I saved." As we turned in for the night we left the Captain and the man who was no longer the stranger sitting side by side going over in detail the events of their first meeting, their voices low and earnest and the light of a great friendship in their eyes.

We believe that it marks the commencement of a new era in human progress ; and it is meet, therefore, that some record of the event should be given to the world.

On such an occasion, perhaps, the lions themselves should have been the carvers ; but it has pleased them to delegate the task. Friends and fellow excursionists! with the aid of your faithful memories to supply its deficiencies, with your kindly good humor to interpret its freedom, with the light of your joy-giving spirits to illuminate its dullness, we may indulge the hope that this record will not be deemed altogether unworthy of the great event it is designed to perpetuate. Before entering upon our narrative we will indulge in a few remarks upon the birth and ancestry of the principal actor in our drama— Steam ; and yet, in so doing, we are sadly puzzled to know where to begin, or where to leave off. To what master-mind does the world owe the great idea? Is it to Fulton? Both Fitch and Rumsey used it before his day, and they got it from Oliver Evans, and he doubtless, from Watt, and Watt, through Savery, Papin, and others, was beholden to the Marquis of Worcester. And is it not proven that the Marquis obtained the secret in France, from poor Solomon De Cans? who was imprisoned for trying to force the idea into Richelieu's head against the will of the im])erious Cardinal. Then Italy claims the honor by liiovanni Bianca, and Spain, as the invention of Bla.sco de Caray. But Hero of Alexandria, one hundred and twenty years before the Christian era, speaks of a machine moved by the vapor of water, in his work entitled "Spiritalia scu Pncumaiica." Was it by this power that the obelisks were brought from their quarries, and the monstrous sphinxes trun- dled about? May we not suppose that the Chinese and Hindoos understood the subject long ages before the sculptors of sphinxes and obelisks were born? and that the first conceit entered Adam's head, perhaps as he watched the boiling of his wife's tea-kettle; for, to quote from a French writer, "C'est que nos progres sont lents, plein de tatonne- ments et d'incertitudes; qu'ils s'enchainent les uns aux autres, de maniere a rendre bien problematiques toutes les questions d'origine et de decouverte. Si Ton voulait faire une histoire complete de la machine a vapeur il faudrait remonter au commence- ment du monde." Butler tells us that " All the inventions which the world contains Were not by reason first found out, nor brains, But fell to those alone who chanced to light Upon them by mistake or oversight." This may be true in regard to a host of discoveries, and we have read a great many anecdotes to the purpose; pleasant, if not true. But the giant of the nineteenth century is not the child of chance. Though its origin is lost in the midst of antiquity for twenty centuries at least, it has been the nursling of labor and genius. In assisting its development and progress, how "many a noble heart," how "many a regal head," has perished unrewarded and unknown! But while rival nations may boast of priority in conception, of having furnished a vague thought of inconclusive experiment, the great result is directly and undoubtedly due to the practical pertina- city of the Anglo-Saxon. Next arises the question between the Anglo-Saxon of the Old and the Anglo- Saxon of the New World. Since the day that France awarded to Franklin the medal with the famous legend, " Erijniit ccrlojvlmni .m-ptnimque tymnnis," the New World has generally led the Old in the great utilitarian enterprises that mark the civilization of the age, and men have begun to suspect that the true bird of wisdom is not the owl but the eagle. Although Europe justly claims precedence in speculative science, how many a grand principle has there lain dormant, inoperative AirnsTs' hwcrnsioN over the ualtimore >t- onio n. i:. for centuries a theme for the discussion of impractical savants, a bauljle for the entertainment of the curious which, when transplanted to the soil of the < Ireat Repui)lic, has (piickly developed into giyjan- tic life and activity. While to England undoulitedly belongs the honor of having originated the railway, yet the idea vegetated there for more than a century before it fairly awoke to life, and movement. And when at length the cautious experiment,?, still unacknowledged and inc()mi)lete, made noise enough to wake an echo in the West, the first response was the adoption of the grandest and most audacious scheme for tlie purpose of inter- nal commerce which has yet been conceived and e.xecuted, and in thirty years thereafter our maps are streaked over with Idack lines representing thirty thousand miles of railroad. It was not until lsi:'.i that the capaiiility of the railway was clearly and piractically established by the introdui'tion of steam locomotives on the Liver[>ool and Manches- ter road, then in course of construction.

TlIK ■M,l> WnljI.D AMI Tllli Xi.W Fifty years before this event an ingenious .\merican, Oliver FA'ans, of .Maryland, suggested the idea of railways for jjurposes of general trade and travel, with steam carriages as the motive i)ower. The Legis- lature of Pennsylvania treated his applica- tion for a patent with contempt ; and wanting means himself, his conce])tions were not realized until half a century later. To what extent his plans were matured and capable of being turned to ])ractical account may be inferred from the following prophecy, extracted from a little volume published .\nno Domini ISl.'!: " Tlu' timi' will I'cime when peojile will triivel in statjes movt'il liy steam-engines frnm "ne city to an- (ithiT. ulmusl as fast as Ijirdscan lly, fifteen nr twenty miles in an hour.

"To acciunplish this, two sets of railways will he laiil (so nearly level as not in any place to deviate more than (wo degrees from a horizontal linel. made of wood or iron, or smooth jiaths of hroken stone or gravel with a rail to guide the carriages, so that they may pass each other in different directions, and travel by night as well as liy day; and the passengers will sleep in these stages as ccmifnrtahly as tloy n^w do in steam stage hoats.

In tinother paper, publisheil in the Aiinint (tf Philadelphia, dated December 10, ISl:'.. pulilic attention is called to a jiroject for connecting that city with New York by railway, and, after describing several plans for laying theproi)osed trtick, .\Ir.

R. hour, or take back the engines at my own expense if required." The confident zeal of the ingenious in- ventor seems to have awakened no corre- sponding confidence in the public mind. When we consider the character of the people whom he addressed, and the stimu- lating necessity, in a country of vast extent and sparse population, for extraordinary means of travel and transportation, we can only account for the apathy with which his propositions were received by supposing that the world was not then ready for the subject. In those days were wars and rumors of wars, and, amidst the thunders of battle and the downfall of kingdoms, "the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard." Oliver Evans lived a generation too soon; and thus it was that America lost the honor of originating, practically, the Railroad system. At length the temple of .Janus was closed, and the time came for the triumphs of peace. As the husbandman burns the rubbish from his field, and plows deep into the earth that, among the clods and ashes, good seed may be sown to yield its fruit in due season: so had the fields of Christendom been wasted with fire, and broken up with the hot plowshare of war, that, from the clods and ashes of ignorance and supersti- tion, a better seed might spring and nobler fruits be gathered. In the origination of such a work as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at a time when thesystem was still in its infancy, we scarce- ly know which most to admire, the far- reaching sagacity which conceived the idea, or the hardy and zealous faith in which it was accepted. To Philip E. Thomas, Esq., a Quaker merchant of Baltimore, is gener- ally accorded the honor of having been the first to suggest and urge the undertaking, moved thereto by some written advices from England. The city of Baltimore, at From Il!iri>er's Miiyny.iiie By Perinission of Harper \ Brothei ANNd DOMINI MMMMIK'ri'I.IX. that time worth but twenty-five millions, unhesitatingly embarked in an enterprise to complete which has cost thirty-one millions.

Thev will join us to-night! .Mi's well. About eight o'clock in the evening the company sat down to a dinner, especially prepared for the occasion. .\nd such a dinner! Ye gods! Talk of the supper of Apicius, with their [)eacock"s brains and other barbarous nonsense! We'll guarantee the luxurious heathen never dreamed of such a feast as this. And if, as some one observed, there was less wit current than might have been expected from such a company on such an occasion, it may be fairly inferred that theb(juntiful i>rovidence of our host of the "liilmore" met with an appreciation too deep for words. IJesides, folks were tired with the day's journey, and the transition from table to bed was easy and natural. Good-night! It still rains, but all the better. Things will look fresher when it does clear uji, and the waterfalls will be in fine condition. The morning of the 1st of .June dawned most unpropitiously; the heavens were covered with damp, spongy clouds, that s(|ueezed out drenching showers whenever they happened to jostle. But in spite of these unpromising apjiearances the excursionists were at the Camden Street depot at the appointed hour. The missing parties had arrived during tlie night, and with the guests of the previous evening, were "all agog to dash through thick and thin." r.ut before we start we must describe the magnificent train prepared for their accommodation.

Adjoining was the baggage and provision room, where heaps of square willow baskets gave promise of good cheer. Next came the dining-saloon, with a table running the whole length of the car; then the parlor, furnished with springy sofas and a handsome piano-forte. Following this were two cars furnished with tables and desks for writing and drawing, also containing comfortable sleeping apartments. The last was the smoking-room, whose windows and rear platform afl'orded the best opportunity for seeing the country. A talented and accomplished gentleman, Mr. William Prescott Snnth, in charge of the aesthetic and social department of the expedition, had, on the part of the Railroad Company, welcomed and introduced the guests to these elegant and luxurious quar- ters. Billy Hughes, the Company's faithful and reliable "Passenger Car Inspector," had, with penknife and hammer, examined the train from end to end, and given official notice that all was right. 'I'Vl, impatient of delay, was stewing and fretting in his iron harness, when the voice of Captain Kawlings, the model conductor, sung out, sharp and clear, "All aboard!"

At starting our party numbered about fifty souls, collected from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Wash- ington, besides several individuals from the country. All branches of the liberal arts were handsomely represented, and we will wager that it has never fallen to the lot of any other locomotive to draw so rich a freight of varied talent and accomplishment. But the weather ? Still clouds and rain. No matter ; it will not dampen such a company as ours. Already two accom- plished performers have boarded the piano, and are storming away at the overture of "Massaniello," with such concomitants as would have astounded the fiery soul of the great Auber himself.

In the mean time the train was rushing over the iron path at a round rate. At the Washington Junction the pretty landscape was completely befogged. The picturesque valley of the Patapsco to Ellicott's shrouded in mist. As they progressed the external world of gray shadows was left to take care of itself, and the tourists were richly remun- erated by the opportunity thus afl^orded of developing their internal resources. There was music, vocal and instrumental ; there was wit. Champagne, and deviled crabs ; there was humor, broad and jovial ; con- versation genial and intelligent. From the numerous earnest and animated groups one may catch an occasional characteristic word or thought amidst the din. " Well, old friend, how has the world gone with you since we last parted ?

Thus it is in the settling of a new country the first settlements are made along the water courses, and as often as possible at the confluence of two streams, and this rule was followed in the first set- ward into the wilderness, and they have left their imprint upon the iState. They were of good New Kngland and Puritan stock, tried and hardened by the struggles and privations of the Revolution but recently ended; of high principle, strong of heart and arm, and with such a foundation, it is no wonder so great a state has arisen.

There is probably no spot in the State of Ohio around which so much of historic and romantic interest clings as the little town of Marietta. Not only was it the first settlement in the State, but the early settlers were a higher tyjie of men and women than those who usually |)ush for- serving their names and the memory of their deeds. On the bank of the .Muskin- gum River, on the spot where the ".Ma}'- llower," the big flatboat which brought them down the Ohio River to their new- home, landed (so christened in honor of the other Mayflower which brought their an- cestors to a new world), has been erected a tablet, inscribed with the names of the fortv-eight pioneers who constituted the THE OHIO COJirANVS OKFICE-ULDEST llUILDlXli IN THE STATE OK OHIO.

The monument in question is located in the cemetery at Marietta, and is in thr form of •MCND CKMKTKKV resting on its original site. It has recently been purchased by the Colonial Dames, who purpose preserving it in its present condi- tion as long as possible. < )p]iosite to this is the old block house which formed the southwest corner of the stockade known as the "Campus Martins," occupied by ( leneral St. Clair, the first Gov- ernor of the Northwest Territory. a high mound, with forty-tive stone stei)S leading to the top of it. By whom it was !)uilt and for what purpose is largely a mat- ter for conjecture. The Mound Builders guarded their secrets more clusely than the builders of the Pyramids. That Marietta is not wholly given up to monuments of past deeds is evidenced by the air of thrift and prosperity which 14 .4 LITTLE OF SOUTHERN OHIO HISTORY. pervades the town. Much local pride is manifested in the well-kept appearance of the houses and streets. The Baltimore & Ohio South-Western Railroad has a neat and pretty station here, which is in keeping with the general appearance of the town.

While of the early histoi'y of Chillicothe it is related that it is one of the few towns in Ohio that did not sufl'er from Indian de- predations, nevertheless it has an interest- ing, if a more peaceful, history. Chillicothe is beautifully situated on the bank of the Scioto River (which the Indians called "Seeyotoh," meaning great legs, from its many and important tributaries, which the Indians called legs). It was laid out and settled in 1796, by Nathaniel In 1788 Chillicothe became the seat of Territorial government, the State House, built in ISOl, being occupied Ijy the Terri- torial Legislature, and two years later it was occupied by the State Legislature, "the free and Independent State of Ohio" having been admitted into the I'nion in 1802. Of the early settlers of Ohio it is said, "The finest wheat of New England culti- vation was sown on fertile soil."

For beauty of location, few cities in the country surpass Chillicothe. It lies between the Scioto and Paint Rivers, and the surrounding country is exceedingly beautiful. In 1796 Mr. Thomas Worthington, after- wards Governor of Ohio, came to Chillicothe as Surveyor-General of the Northwest Ter- ritory, and after traveling all over the Terri- tory for ten years, finally selected this spot for the location of his home, building a state- ly mansion which he named "Adena" — I'ara- dise. This house is still standing, fully pre- served, and we believe has been offered by the city of Chillicothe to a benevolent order for a National Home for aged and infirm members.

The authentic history of Cincinnati dates back to the "Symmes Purchase" in 1788, when Judge John Cleves Symmes purchased 6,000 acres of land, lying between the Great and Little Miami Rivers, paying (ilig cents per acre therefor: and to this transaction land titles in this district are now traced. A year later. Port Washington was built by the Government, as a protection against was, however, another case where " best- laid plans" were sent "aglee" by that fre- quent disturber of the plans of mice and men — a woman. Among the settlers who accompanied Judge Symmes to Symmes City were a man and wife whose names are unknown to history; but that the lady was young and pleasing we can not doubt, and all the chroniclers unite in praising her bright eyes and fascinating manners. For the protection of the town, a tem- porary defense. Ft.

Harmar, in command of the forces in the Northwest Territory. Judge Symmes, the first land owner in this district, purposed locating the chief city of his tract at the confluence of the Great Miami and Ohio Hivers, where the little town of North Bend now stands, a better site than that occupied by the city of Cincinnati, naming it Symmes City. It and 'Jen. Harmar sent a force of men under Ensign Luce to occupy it. The lady's bright eyes quickly captivated the too sus- ceptible ensign, who succumbed to Cupid's arrows when he should have been strength- ening the defenses of Symmes City against the shafts of the Indians, who were almost as good marksmen as Cupid. The lady's husband was a prudent man, and promptly decided that his wife needed more protection from various kind of arrows than Symmes City was likely to afford, and took her A LITTLE (iF SDUTIIERX OHIO IIISToLY. 19 back Id Lo.santiville, the settleiiu-nt which had sprung up around I-^t. \Vashint:;ton. The youufi Ensign then began to find a great many defects in the sight of Symmes City. In the spring freshets, the water overHowed part of it, and then an attacl< of Imlians was made, and the phice being jjoorly defended they killed one sohlier and ijadly wounded four or live others. The Ensign then sent su(di dire reports to the commanding otticer of the condition of the place, that the soldiers were withdrawn from Symmes City, and without their protection the settlement had to be aliandoned, the settlers returning to jjosantiville. -John Cleves Symmes was a broken and disappointed man, and the name which he proposed to perpetuate in a metrojiolis was forgotten, the little village afterwards arising on the .site of it, calling itself North Bend. As to the fate of the bright-eyed lady, history is silent. Losantiville (the fanciful name being a corruption of some French wonls signifying "town op])()site the mouth of a river" the Licking' grew and prospered. (General .Vrthur Sinclair, the first (iovernor of the Northwest Territory, made it his head- quarters in 17!)0, changing the name to Cincinnati, and after (ien. Wayne's signal defeat of the Indians three years later, population rapidly increased. In addition to her trade and commerce, Cincinnati at an enrly date established a re|)Utation of an art and musical center with which no other western city can compete. The importance of the completion of the Baltimore & (_)hio Railroad through to Cincinnati at an early date can hardly be realized. Prior to this the transportation of freight and passengers across the Allegheny Mountains was attendeil with great ditticulty and no little danger. .And the develojiment of the road has been as marked as has that of the city. ( )ne hundred years ago Cincinnati was a straggling little settlement on the border of a wilderness, while today it is one of the imiiortant commercial centers of the world. Fifty years ago the P.. & d. S. W. P. it ( ). P. U. was a crude railroad, making slow time over a rough and crooked roailbed. Today, Pnyal P)lue Trains, equipped with the best motive power, and the finest coaches and sleepers which modern science and skill can produce, run thrice daily between Cincinnati and the Eastern seaboard, over a smooth, straight track, which also bears long, trailing freight trains, rumbling steadily and surely to their destinations, bearing the produce of field, factory, and mine, which go to make up the commerce of the world. May the twentieth century bring as much pros[)erity and advancement to both city and railroad as has the nineteenth! THE CAVERNS OF LURAY. BY FREUERICK W. BARNACLO. THAT the underlying limestones of Page County, Virginia, were penetrated by crevices, horizontal cracks, and some caves of respectable size was long known to the earliest settlers of Virginia. One of the first generation of "Peter Ruffner the First," went hunting in the eaidy days of 1795, and did not come back. A week later his gun and powder-horn were found near the mouth of an old cave, and within, the nearly famished man was at last discov- ered. This cave was subsequently named after Ruffner. across fields; in and out of abundant woods; examining every depression; peering into the dark corners; stooping under rocky ledges, and enlarging holes from which foxes darted forth in dismay. Nearly four weeks spent in fruitless search had its only efi'ect in exciting the astonishment and ridicule of the neighbors, who, by this time, good-naturedly began to call these gentlemen "cave-rats." Return- ing from a long tramp, however, one August day, they approached a hill, not far from Luray, long known as "Conical Hill" on the \\ KKNS. VlKi.lMA. Mr. B. P. Stebbins, a noted photographer of Easton, Maryland, knowing something of this cave, conceived the project of a more complete exploration of it with a view to making it an object of interest to the tourist, and in the summer of 1878 invited the co-operation of several of Luray 's resi- dents. He finally received the aid of two young men, commonly called the "Campbell Brothers," who, instead of desiring to fur- ther the exploration of Ruft'ner's Cave, preferred to engage in a search for a new one. Together these gentlemen went rang- ing over the hills on both sides of the famous and picturesque Shenandoah valley, Newmarket Pike. It was nearly all cleared land and contained a large sink-hole, which served the farmers for generations back as a dumping-pit for weeds, stones, old rails, and debris, which they were accustomed to toss out of the way. It occurred to these explorers that this depression bore a sus- picious look, and was worth investigation. Clearing away the rubbish, they soon found a hole sufficiently large to admit a man, from which a draft of cool fresh air came sifting through. Lowered by means of a rope, one of the party descended into a black abyss, and soon let go of the rope, leaving the remaining party to conjecture.
