ment of Pullman Trains ; its renowned 
Royal Blue Trains; its unexcelled freight 
facilities and magnificent terminals. The 
B. & O. as it is to-day with its treasures 
of mountain scenery and beautiful val- 
leys; its historic battlefields and national 
parks.

road. Relics of early railroading in 1826 
when placed along side of the modern 
railroad machinery of 1897 seem strange 
indeed. But even so do the newer 
things of October 1897, show great con- 
trast to those of October 1896. 

The grand old Alleghenies however 
are just the same to-day as they were 
two hundred years ago when the Indians 
and the deer alone knew the passes 
which lead to the land of the setting sun. 

The B. & O. first awoke the echoes

THE H.XLll.MORE .V UlllO'.S MiW TERMINAL AT NEW VuRK. 



VyHITEHALL Terminal or "South 
' ' Ferry" which is now used by the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in addition 
to Liberty Street in New York Cit}', is 
at the extreme south end of the city just 
east of the Battery. 

At this terminal all of the elevated 
trains of the Second, Third, Sixth and 
Ninth avenue lines, the East and West 
Side Belt lines (horse cars) and the 
boats of the South Ferry, Staten Island 
Ferry and Thirty-Ninth Street Brooklyn 
Ferry, all land and receive passengers 
under tlie same roof. 

Thus a passenger to or from New 
York City via the B. & O. has advan- 
tages not afforded by any other line. It 
is possible to ride to almost any part of 
New York City and FJrooklyn for a five 
cent fare and with the very quickest 
service. 

This, in connection with the excellent 
baggage transfer system of the B. & O. re- 
lieves the traveler of worry and expense. 

At Washington, Baltimore, Phila- 
delphia and New York a checking sys- 
tem is used whereby a trunk or piece of 
baggage will be called for at the house 
in one city and delivered to destination 



in any one of the others at a most reason- 
able charge. 

From Whitehall Terminal to Grand 
Central Station it takes but thirty-five 
minutes by the Third Avenue Elevated 
road. Staten Island Ferry connects 
with railroads for all parts of the 
Island. 

South Ferry to foot of Atlantic Ave- 
nue, Brooklyn, connects with lines to all 
parts of Brooklyn and Long Island rail- 
road. Hamilton Avenue Ferry to foot 
of Hamilton Avenue, Brooklyn, connects 
with lines to Brooklyn Heights, Nassau 
Electric lines and Coney Island Elec- 
tric line. 

Thirty-Ninth Street Ferry to foot of 
Thirty-Ninth street, Brooklyn (Ambrose 
Park), connects with electric cars to 
Coney Island and Fort Hamilton. The 
Bay Ridge boat, leaving Whitehall, 
connects at Bay Ridge with trains to 
Manhattan Beach and Coney Island. 
This is the quickest route from New 
York to these points. 

Boats also leave here to Governors 
Island, headquarters of the Eastern De- 
partment of the U. S. Nav\ ; to Liberty 
Island, Statue of Liberty; and to Ellis 
Island, Emigrant Station.

'T'HE possibility of showing moving 
trains, life size, at full speed on a 
stretch of canvas is one of the wonders 
of the waning nineteenth century. 

In Baltimore and in New York there 
has recently been exhibited a moving pic- 
ture of two Royal Blue trains passing 
each other over the Relaj^ Viaduct near 
Baltimore. The picture represents 



train No. 512 on its tlying journej' from 
Washington to New York, and as it 
comes into the picture, it passes in clear 
view so that the people in the windows 
and on the rear platform may be easiiv 
recognized for the instant. The train 
speeds along its journey over the viaduct 
where it meets its sister train No. 505 
coming head on at a rapid pace and

passing out of the picture. All is over 
in less than three-quarters of a minute. 
It will be interesting to the public to 
know just how these pictures are made. 
There are many ditierL-nt machines 
under ditferent names performing the 
same work. Among them are the Cine- 
matoscope, Phantascope, Cineograph, 
Cinemetograph, Biograph, Bioscope, Vi- 
tascope, Veriscope and as many others 
as there are exhibitors. The plan upon 
which these pic- 
tures are taken is 
simple. A little 
camera not over 
eight inches 
square with a lens 
focusing upon a 
piece of film one 
inch in width and 
three-quarters of 
an inch high does 
the work. This 
film carries any 
length from fifty 
to one hundred 
and fifty feet, and 
is so arranged as 
to allow twenty 
exposures to the 
second. This is 
so rapid that it 
catches minutely 
every movement 
in the picture. 
This is readily de- 
uKmstrated in the 
illustration 
shown. The illus- 
tration shows the 
actual size of a 
a piece of film cut 
(lom one of the 
long rolls, and 
if the reader will 
notice the pictures closely he will see 
that while there are only six pic- 
tures, the movement of the trains is very 
marked. This section of film passed the 
focusing lens in about one-third of a 
second, and the impression on the film 
shows one-half of the baggage car as 
having entered the picture in this space 
of time, which indicates the moving of 
the train at a high rate of speed. A curi- 
ous fact is also noted, that none of the 
men in the picture have made any mo- 
tion whatever in this period. On close 




(.'xaniination under the microscope the 
movement of the smoke from the ap- 
proaching train in the distance is varied. 
Examination of one of the full sized 
rolls of film to the light and rimning it 
through your fingers shows every detail 
ver\- clearly. 

As stated above, twent}' impressions 
to the second are registered by the cam- 
era upon the film. This will make fif- 
teen pictures to the font, and a film sixty- 
five feet in length such as was used in 
taking the Royal Blue trains shows nine 
hundretl and seventy-five impressions. 

The time consumed in taking the 
complete picture was about tort>-nme 
seconds. 

After the impressions have been 
taken the film is treated in the same 
manner as any other photographic film, 
anil thus made permanent. In repro- 
ducing the picture upon the canvas, the 
film is taken up over a large wheel and 
securely fastened in the cogs in jire- 
cisely the same manner as the cog chain 
in a bicycle. The illustration shows 
the perforations in the film. The pic- 
ture is then rapidly drawn between the 
lens in the projecting machine and a 
very strong concentrated light, produc- 
ing the efiect shown on the canvas in 
exactly the same manner as a stereopti- 
can, with the exception, of course, that 
the pictures behind the lens are in \ery 
rapid motion. 

We produce herein also a photo- 
grajih of the operators at work taking 
cinematoscope pictures of these trains. 
This photograph was taken by the 
official photographer of the B. tV O. 
From it the exact position of the oper- 
ators can be readily observed. 

The Baltimore ^ Ohio Railroad have 
prepared and will soon place on exhibi- 
tion throughout the country cineniata- 
scope pictures taken of four trains — two 
Royal Blue trains and two freight 
trains — on their respective passenger 
and freight tracks. These pictures were 
taken at 10.37 a. "i- on two successive 
days, at a point between Baltimore and 
Washington where these trains pass 
each other in regular business every day 
of the year. The operators in taking 
these pictures were thoroughly inter- 
ested in their work and anxiously 
awaited the minute at which they had 
instructions to commence starting their

machine. Precisely on the minute a 
Royal Blue train from the west ap- 
proached on the first track and another 
Royal Blue train from the east on the 
second track — both trains running at a 
speed between seventy-five and eighty 



miles an hour — while on the third track 
an east bound freight, and on the fourth 
track a west bound coal train, all regular 
trains on schedule time. This is one of 
the many interesting features of the 
B. & O.

THE gracfful iron arches and columns 
of the new train shed at Camdun 
Station of tlie Baltimore it Ohio R. R. 
at Baltimore art completed, and the roof 
has been placed over the wide plat- 
forms, and soon the old train slud 
through which passengers have hurric'd 
for nearly a half century will only be 
used to shelter prosaic but useful freight 
cars. Passengers will soon learn and 
become accustomed to the new thorough- 
fare to waiting trains, and the sound of 
footsteps passing in and out of the 
former passenger gate will soon lie but 
a memor\'. 

As long, however, as old Camden 
Station stands it will ever hold recollec- 
tions, not only for the elder employes 
of the great company, but also for the 
citizens of the former and last genera- 
tions. It is an old landmark, and around 
its dull colored walls a greater part of 
Baltimore's history has been macle. 

The present station was liuilt in 
1852. Prior to that time the station 
was situated on Pratt street, on the site 
now occupieti by Mason's cracker fac- 
tory. In those da\s Pratt street station 
was known all over the country. From 
its contracted yard the first steam pas- 
senger train put to practical use for the 
transportation of travelers puffed away 
to Ellicott City, fifteen miles out, then 
the terminus of the road. To the peo- 
ple of those days the steam cars were a 
fearful and wonderful thing, and every 
one was anxious to ride on them. 

In one of the newspapers 
of that day is found an item 
statingthat during hot weather 
the citizens cif Baltimore en- 
joyed the cool ride "on top 
of the cars'* to Ellicott City, 
or rather Ellicott's Mills. 
•The cars go so fast.' the 
item reads, "that a constant 
lireeze is created for those sit- 
ting on the roof." 

When the B. & O. was 
opened to the then distant 
Cumberland, Camden station 
was thrown open to the pub- 



lic. Ma\or and city oliicers delivered 
addresses. The iron horse had, to their 
minds, done a wonderful feat in climb- 
ing to the summit of the mountains. 

Before steam was emplo\ed on the 
ruad. freight and passenger cars were 
hauled by mule power from Baltimore 
to Ellicott's Mills. The cars left in 
trains. Each train consisted of three to 
five cars, according to the tonnage of 
their cargo, and their departure and 
arrival were advertised in the dail}- anci 
weekly papers. 

The road grew larger; it threw out 
its black rails across the mountains 
and underneath them. It leaped wide 
rivers and brawling mountain streams, 
and its force of employes grew in 
number as the B. <.V O. grew in 
length. The years passed on. Then 
came the civil war. and old Camden sta- 
tion resounded with the throbs of drums, 
the singing of bugles and the march of 
the Union blue coats as the long trains 
drew out of the station, carrying tlum 
south to battle for the Union. "Rebel- 
lious Baltimore," our city was called 
then because of the strong secessionist 
feeling of its people, which culminated 
in the attack on the Sixth Massachusetts 
regiment as it passed through the city 
on the way south. Through it all old 
Camden station stood with its single 
tower looking down calmly on the ex- 
cited city as though to say, "I represent 
progress and am unharmed." — Baltimore

THE KVOU'IIOX <)l' rHI'. LoCoAK ) r 1 \ !■ 



CTEAM locomotives have been so long 
*^ the only motive power on regular 
railroads that there is now a widespread 
belief that both were invented simulta- 
neously. Not only is this not the case 
— the invention of railroads having pre- 
ceded that of the locomotive by at least 
a hundred years — but it is also the fact 
that the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, 
though commenced the year after George 
Stephenson had begun to use a locomo- 
tive regularly on the Stockton iN: Dar- 
lington Railway, was planned originally 
for hauling cars by horses. 

The engineers in this country were 
perfectly well aware of the importance 
of Stephenson's application of locomo- 
tives to the hauling of passengers and 
freight, as exhibited by him in 1^25, but 
they doubted whether a similar system of 
traction could be applied to railways on 
this side of the Atlantic. The earliest 
railways to which locomotives were ap- 
plied had tracks at once level and 
straight; and it was not until Peter 
Cooper had demonstrated by means of 
his model locomotive that steam power 
could be safely used to haul cars around 
curves of 400 feet radius, that horses 
were finally superseded. 

Although Peter Cooper never built a 
successful full-sized locomotive, he is 
none the less entitled to the renown of 
being the father of the American loco- 
motive. He began building his model 
on the site of the present Mount Clare 
workshops in Baltimore, in 1^29, and 
made several trial trips with it before 
the close of that year. It was a very 
crude machine, judged by the present 
standard, having an upright boiler with 
a single cylinder of 3^4' inches diameter 
and a stroke of 14'b inches. Alderman 
Cooper, as he was then always called, 
could get no tubes for his boiler in this 
country, so that he was forced to use five 
or six gun barrels for this purpose. In- 
stead of using the exhaust steam from 
the cylinder to produce a draught for the 
fire, as in all modern locomotives, Mr. 
Cooper placed a fan, revolved by a belt 
from one of the axles, in the funnel of 
his engine. The power was applied to 
the other axle by means of a toothed 



wheel. The stren?;th nl tiie cuLjineSvas 

one horse power. ^ 

On Saturday, Au,L;ust 2.s, i-S^n, Peter 

Cooper and thirty-nine ntlur persons 




had a grand excursion to Ellicott's Mills, 
thirteen miles distant, and back. The 
gross weight of the train was three and 
a half tons, and the steepest gradient 
eighteen feet to the mile. Mr. Cooper 
acted as both engineer and fireman, us- 
ing his favorite anthracite coal. The out- 
bound trip was performed in an hour 
and twelve minutes, part of it being done 
at the then extraordinary rate of eigh- 
teen miles an hour. Mr. H. S. Latrobe, 
one of the passengers, who was for many 
years afterward general counsel to the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, 
remembered that when this speed was 
reached "several gentlemen pulled out 
their pencils and wrote connected sen- 
tences on slips of paper to prove that it 
was possible at that gn^at velocity." 

On the homeward trip, on this 
occasion, the band slipped off the fan 
and the anthracite coal refused to burn 
fast enough to make steam. The conse- 
quence was that one of the Stockton & 
Stoke's horse cars passed the locomotive, 
in spite of the frantic efforts of Mr. 
Cooper, in which he lacerated his hands, 
to slip the band back into its place. 
This was the first and last public per- 
formance of Peter Cooper's locomotive 
of which an account has been kept, but 
it nevertheless proved that a locomotive 
could be built which would run up 
gradients and keep on the track while 
rounding sharp curves. < )n the follow- 
ing January 4th, the directors of the 



THE E]-OLUTION OF THE LOCOMOTIVE. 



Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company 
issued their famous offer of 54,000 
for the best locomotive which should be 
delivered to their line before the follow- 
ing June 1st. The conditions attached 
to this offer show graphically the hopes 
and fears of the railroad men of that 
day. Summarized these were: 

"That the engine must burn coal or 
coke, and consume its own smoke. 

"That it must not exceed 3j4 tons in 
working order, and must be able to draw 
fifteen tons at the rate of fifteen miles 
an hour. 

"That, other things ecpial, the engine 
of least weight would have the pre- 
ference. 

"That the wheels should have inside 
flanges, and if coupled should not exceed 
three feet in tliameter. while if not 
coupled, the single pair of driving wheels 
should not exceed four feet in diameter. 

"That the pressure of the steam 
should not exceed 100 lbs. to the square 
inch, and should be as much below that 
limit as possible. 

"That each engine should have two 
safety valves out of the engineer's con- 
trol. 

"That each engine should have a 
mercurial gauge to blow out if the steam 
pressure exceeded 120 lbs. 

"That the height of the funnel snould 
not exceed twelve feet." 

The winner of this contest was 
Phineas Davis, who called his engine 
the "York,' from York, Pa., where it 
was built. It was the first of the class 
known as "grasshoppers," and had a 
vertical boiler and cylinder. The exhaust 
steam revolved a fan which in turn re- 
volved a second fan close to the ash pan 
by which air was forced up through the 
fire. The dimensions of this engine

have not been preserved, but the cylin- 
ders were probablj' 5'j inches in diame- 



ter by 16 inches stroke. Under favor- 
able circumstances the " York " ran at 
as high a rate of speed as thirty miles 
an hour with three or four cars, and 
throughout the year 1832 had an aver- 
age run of eighty miles a day. In 
September, 1832, it was found that by 
placing steel springs on the engine and 
cars that one-third more load could be 
hauled with the same effort. Mr. Gill- 
ingham, the Superintendent of Motive 
Power, also reported at this time that the 
daily expense of the locomotive was 
$16.00, while it cost $33.00 using horses 
to haul the same load. 

Mr. Davis, who had now become the 
regular builder of engines for the Balti- 
more & Ohio Company, turned out his 
second "grasshopper" engine early in 
1833, which he named the "Atlantic." 
The third engine of the same class was 
named the "Franklin,'' and both these 
engines were considerably heavier than 
the "York." In July, 1834, when it 
was seen that the opening of the line to 
Harper's Ferry was at hand, four more 
engines were put in service. Two of 
these, "Arabin" and " Mercury," were 
liuilt by Davis, the other two being built 
by Charles Reeder, of Baltimore. Some 
one or more of these engines had a hori- 
zontal boiler instead of a vertical one, 
and the name "crab" was given to its 
class to distinguish it from the "grass- 
hopper'' class. 

On August 25th, 1835, the Wash- 
ington branch of the Baltimore & Ohio 
Road was opened for traffic, and on the 
following September 27th, Phineas 
Davis was killed. He was standing on 
the tender of an engine which ran off the 
track, and was hurled against the fire- 
box with such violence, that he never 
recovered consciousness. This led to 
the leasing of the Mount Clare shops to 
Gillingham &. Winans, who agreed to 
furnish the Baltimore & Ohio Company 
with locomotives, at a stipulated price, 
and to give it precedence of all orders 
from elsewhere. 

Ross Winans, the junior partner in 
this firm, had been connected with the 
Baltimore & Ohio Road from its in- 
ception. He began life on a farm and 
became connected with the railway 
through selling it horses. His inventive 
genius soon displaying itself, he was 
sent to England in 1829, being then

thirty-three 3ears old, to witness the 
locomotive contest at the Liverpool lV- 
Manchester Railway', finally won by 




Stephenson's "Rocket." Returning to 
the United States, he invented tlie pro- 
jecting journals on the axles of car 
wheels, thus reducing at a stroke the 
friction of hauling them from twelve 
pounds to a ton to three pounds. 

As soon as he turned his hand to 
building locomotives, Mr. Winans threw 
himself into his work with characteristic 
energ)'. His first two engines, manu- 
factured in the fall of 1^36, though eight 
tons each in weight, had a greater draw- 
bar pull than any of the twelve ton 
engines made by Stephenson in Eng- 
land. No records of these first two 
engines built by Mr. Winans have been 
preserved, but in the following year the 
first of the famous "mud diggers " was 
turned out at the Mount Clare Works. 
This type of engine had driving wheels 
three feet in diameter, and cylinders 



hundred pounds to the square inch, such 
an engine must have had a draw-bar pull 
of 19,266 pounds, or enough power for 
even a good sized engine of to-day. 
There were drawbacks, however, to the 
utilization of all this tractive force. In- 
stead of the crank-shaft being connected 
directly to the central driving wheels, it 
operated through an intermediate shaft 
placed behind the fire box. This shaft 
had toothed wheels, which in turn en- 
gaged others on the shaft of the rear 
axle. The six dri\ing wheels were con- 
nected by outside coupling rods, as in 
the engines of to-day, but these rods were 
attachid to the wheels by ball joints in 
order to allow the lateral pla)' then con- 
sidered necessary to enable the engine 
to pass safely around curves. If the bad 
balancing of all early locomotives be 
added to the friction of the toothed 
wheels, and the lateral and longitudinal 
play of the connecting rods, it may be 
safely inferred that the "mud diggt-r " 
class never was able to apply more than 
half its nominal draw-bar pull. 

Hitherto, the Baltimore & Ohio had 
restricted its orders for locomotives to 
its local headquarters, but in 1^38, four 
new engines were placed on the Wash- 
ington Branch, which had been built by 
the William Norris Locomotive Works, 
of Philadelphia. These engines were 
wood-burners, with a single pair of driv- 
ing wheels, and cylinders twelve inches

seventeen inches in diameter, with a in diameter, with an eighteen inch stroke, 
twenty-four inch stroke. Assuming that A second pair of driving wheels were

THE ElOLUTION OF THE f.OCOMOTlVE. 



it is with this alteration that these Nor- 
ris engines are now remembered by some 
of the early workers on the road still 
living. The Washington Branch early 
became very popular with the traveling 
public, as the President of the Baltimore 
& Ohio, early in 1836, in an official 
report, says: "The first four month's 
travel averaged 200 persons per day, 
far exceeding the most sanguine expec- 
tations of the road." A two-car train 
making a daily trip from Baltimore to 
Washington and back would not appear 
to be doing an excessive business in 
these days. 

On November 5th. 1842, the road 
was opened to Cumberland, and two 
years later Ross Winans delivered sev- 
eral engines especially adapted for haul- 
ing coal. All that is known about these 
engines is the fact that each was 22 tons 
in weight, and from the stress laid upon 
their heaviness it may safely be assumed 
that all previously built engines must 
have been considerably lighter. 

Tlie variety of locomotive still known 
as the '-camel back" was first built by 
Ross Winans between 1850 and 1853. 
These were the first 30-ton engines ever 
used in any part of the world, and their 
fame was spread abroad in the land. 
Next to one modern class of engines, 
which shall here be nameless, they were 
perhaps the ugliest locomotives which 
have ever been built. Their bare un- 
protected fire-boxes hung over the rear 
wheels with a downward slant from the 
boiler. The fire-box had two chutes, 
through which coal was supplied at in- 
tervals by opening slides worked by a 
lever. The cab was placed on the top of 
the boiler and steps leading from it to a

gangway which ran back to the tender. 
The fireman must have had a dangerous 
journey to and fro when his "camel 
back" was running at high speed. The 
beauty of this engine, as originally built, 
was not enhanced by a spark arrester. 



which took the form of a short piece of 
duplicate funnel placed directly in front 
of the ordinary one. 

One feature of these locomotives 
which attracted great attention from the 
engine men of that day was the horizon- 




IIAVKS (iKADE ENGINE. 



tal cylinders placed in a line with the 
centre of the driving wheels, as is almost 
universalh' the case to-day. Before the 
"camel back" innovation the cylinders 
had been placed above the centre of the 
driving wheels, and of course inclined 
toward them. 

Yet the "camel backs" had their 
good points. They could pull trains 
which other engines could not look at; 
they could make steam in any kind of 
weather and with almost any kind of 
coal; they never got stuck on the up 
grades as other engines frequently did, 
and their strength, and constancy in 
using it, obviated the necessity of occa- 
sional helpers. They could haul trains 
100 tons in weight in summer and eighty 
tons in weight in winter, and keep their 
scheduled time, over the mountain grades 
of the AUeghenies. They were stoutly 
built engines, too, with good material 
in every part of them, and some of them, 
put into service thirty years ago, are 
still pegging away, much too good to be 
relegated to the scrap heap. 

The Baltimore & Ohio was opened 
from Cumberland to Wheeling in Janu- 
ary, 1853, and in preparation for this 
event and its expected large accession 
of the traffic, seventeen engines were 
ordered early in 1850, at a cost of about 
$150,000, Ross Winans secured the 
order for ten of these engines, at a cost 
of $9,750 apiece, eight more were built 
by A. W. Denmead, at §8,500 each, and 
two from Smith & Perkins at $9,500, 
two from the New Castle Manufacturing 
Co., at $9,500, and one from the same 
company at $8,500, while four were 
made at the B, & O. shops ami charged 
up at $9,500 each. This little list shows 
that the price of all classes of engines 



i6 



THE EVOLVTJON OF THE LOCOMOTIVE. 



was between $8,500 and §9,750, and it 
is a curious fact that the increasing 
cheapness of material and greater effi- 
ciency of workmanship permits engines 
of double the weight, and more than 
the power, to be built to-day for about 
the same prices. Before these orders 
were given out the B. & O. was using 
sixty-four engines on the main stem. 

The next innovation in engine build- 
ing, which, in view of modern American 
practice would not be termed an improve- 
ment, was made b}' Samuel J. Hayes in 
1857. Mr. Hayes was then Master of 
Machinery for the B. & O., and he 
determined to build some wood-burning 
engines with inside cylinders. As inside 
cylinders demand forged cranks on the 
driving axles, and as these crank axles 
are liable to fracture with excessive 



branch road. But the latest example of 
engine building, as illustrated by the 
ten-wheeled consolidated passenger en- 
gines at present in use on the B. & O. 
Road, brings up such magnificent con- 
centration of speed, strength and endur- 
ance as were never before seen in the 
history of the world. 

These engines have six coupled 
wheels, six feet six inches in diameter, 
cylinders 21x26 inches, and a steam 
pressure of 170 pounds to the square 
inch. They haul the Royal Blue Line 
trains, and on many occasions have gone 
a mile in fifty seconds, while one of them 
has been timed covering a mile in thirty- 
two seconds. As to strength, one of 
them has hauled five Blue Line cars 
from Baltimore to Washington, forty 
miles, in thirty-six minutes. 











strain or after long use, American build- 
ers have wisely avoided them. In spite 
of this fact, Mr. Hayes went ahead and 
turned out several of the best propor- 
tioned engines, all things considered, 
that engine men had ever seen up to 
that time. They had cylinders fifteen 
inches in diameter with a twenty-two 
inch stroke. The central driving wheels 
and trailing wheels, which were coupled, 
were five feet in diameter. They were 
at first known as the Hayes' Passenger 
Engines, but were soon nick-named, the 
"Dutch Wagons." Still they became 
verj' popular with both operatives and 
passengers; the former, because they 
made steam and kept time if not over- 
loaded, and the latter, because they were 
neat and handsome with plenty of 
polished brass work. 

Between the era of the "Dutch Wag- 
ons" and the mammoth locomotives of 
to-day, lie the classes of engines familiar 
to everj' one, because examples of them 
are still to be found working on every 



■:HX KI.YEH 

When it is borne in mind that a 
"horse-power" reall}^ means what a very 
strong horse can lift in a minute, the 
force of one of these engines will be 
realized by conceiving 1,100 horses all 
able to make one mighty pull at the 
same moment. As to speed, one of 
these engines will advance at the almost 
inconceivably' rapid rate of 100 feet in a 
second. Think of a living seventy-ton 
machine hurling 300 tons of inert train 
matter through the space of 100 feet 
between pulse beats! Yet this tremen- 
dous aggregation of energy is under such 
perfect control as to respond to the 
touch of the engineer as quicklj' and as 
obediently as would a lady's horse to 
the rein of its rider. There may be in- 
ventions which are considered more 
marvelous than the modern high-power 
locomotive, but surely none displays in 
concrete result the power of man to im- 
prison so mighty a force in so small a 
compass.

MODKRX l'll()TU(iRAl'H\' 



MAR\'ELOUS complexity and drtail 
have been introduced into photog- 
raphy within recent years, and yet, para- 
doxically enough, this very complexity 
has been the means of ^'iving to the 
individual worker, who neither desires 



become within recent years, that there 
are few men who are able to keep abreast 
of the ever-increasing strides of this 
beautiful art-science, and these few are 
men who constantly devote their ener- 
gies to photographic research and ex- 




nor cares to delve into the more subtle 
mysteries of the science, simplicity of 
method and operation wliolly unknown 
to the painstaking and careful worker of 
twenty years ago. 

It is the story of modern civilization 
and accompanying specialization, which, 
to a greater or less degree, affects every 
science, and creates men highly profi- 
cient and skilled in certain branches of 
manipulation, but badly rounded or 
trained in the subject as a whole. So 
broad has the subject of photography 



perimentation, exclusive of everything 
else. The average man either follows 
some special branch of photography for 
purely commercial ends, or picks it up 
as a pastime, a relaxation from other 
worrying cares and duties, and it is not 
to be expected that these specialists and 
pleasure- seekers can do more than keep 
in reading touch with the steadily in- 
creasing ramifications of the chemistry, 
processes, machinery and art as applied 
to photography. 

It is interesting in the extreme to fol- 



MODKRX PHOTOGRAPHY. 



low the rapid changes which have taken 
place in the various factors of photog- 
raphy within less than a generation, and 
to finall}' sum up how modern appli- 
ances, chemical discoveries, and a gen- 
erally machine-made life have made 
"you push the button, and we do the 
rest," almost a reality. However, it 
should never be forgotten that the brains 
are not in the machine. 

My earliest recollections of photog- 
raphy only carry me backward some 
twenty years, when, as a small boy, I 
received the princely salary of seventj- 
five cents a week as an apprentice to a 
curly, sandy-haired photographer in my 
small home town. To my boyish fancy 
he was the epitome of rare cleverness 
and skill, and the very soul of a subtle, 
fascinating black art. 

Those were the days of hand-coated 
collodion dry - plates, just before the 
commercial dawn of the gelatine dry- 
plate, and I so well remember the ex- 
cessive irascibility of the proprietor on 
the days when he coated plates; it was 
worth your life to disturb him or raise 
a speck of dust in the establishment. 
With limited facilities and floor-space, 
it was no easy task to turn out evenly 
coated, well-sensitized plates, which 
would be fast enough to photograph 
even children ; but the remarkable sharp- 
ness (which was then always sought for), 
brilliancy, and truly artistic treatment 
of his subjects remain to-day as monu- 
ments of his ability and versatility. 

This same man — and he was hardly 
an exception among those of his pro- 
fession — also did all his own develop- 
ing, retouching, albumenizing and sil- 
vering of the paper, and, while I did 
most of the printing and mounting, he 
did the toning, tinting and spotting, 
and between times took jobs of outside 
photography, or experimented assidu- 
ously along certain lines of research. 

The change from then to now im- 
presses one as a wonderful dream. To- 
day the hive of photography is filled 
with a swarm of specialists. A host of 
photo-mechanical processes has arisen, 
which are as Greek to the mere manipu- 
lator of a camera. The studio portrait- 
artist no longer makes landscapes or 
does architectural studies, and in his 
gallery he may have gone so far as to 
distribute the work among a number of 



assistants, such as a camera-operator, a 
developer, a printer, a mounter, a re- 
toucher and a spotter. 

The outdoor photographer now fol- 
lows a separate and distinct business, 
which includes everything scenic and 
architectural, and, in all fairness, it must 
be admitted that the follower of this 
branch of the art, with the aid of the 
progressive amateur, is to-day doing 
more for the advance of photography 
than he who works under the stable 
illumination of skylight and electric 
arc, surrounded by a corps of assistants 
who do only special and never-varying 
work, for this outside man has his pho- 
tographic senses ke3'ed to the highest 
notch by the ever-changing variety of 
subjects and conditions under which he 
labors. Sea-scapes, open and close-at- 
hand landscapes, daylight and flashlight 
interiors, instantaneous and time-expos- 
ure portraits in the home, copying of all 
kinds, lantern-slide making, and, last 
of all, developing and printing for ama- 
teurs — all fall within his province. With 
these complex problems confronting 
him, he learns from necessity to use fast 
and slow, plain, orthochromatic and 
non-halation plates ; he has stored in 
his brain the impressions of how nearly 
every marketable developer acts and 
works, and may use several different 
kinds, or may skillfully modify his own 
pet formula to secure the best results as 
the needs of the particular exposure of 
plate seem to demand. 

Again, he has solved all the mysteries 
of wide angle, long-focus, symmetrical 
and portrait combinations in lenses, and 
knows how to get the most out of a sub- 
ject at close range with the shortest ex- 
posure, using his swing-backs to the 
best advantage to reduce the perspective 
distortion so common to this class of 
lens, or he understandingly makes a 
good plate, minus the front combination 
of his lens, which he does when he 
desires to double the size of his picture. 

It is quite needless to go into specific 
details respecting the immense amount 
of all-around technical knowledge and 
numerous little mechanical and chemi- 
cal dodges which the outdoor man gains 
by his training in pure photography; 
but even he who is doing so much to 
push forward everj- new method and 
device which is practical, or invents

others for his personal needs and the 
ultimate good of the man\-, is to-day a 
specialist, for he is a mere tyro in most

which woidd horrify the modern worker:

the relation of how several of the accom- 
panying pliotographs were taken. 

A fast Baltimore tV- Ohio train, with 
Harper's Ferry as the destination, was 
boarded b}- the photographer late one 
evening. The night was spent in one of 
the delightful cliff-perched summer re- 
sorts of the quaint and historic old town, 
the big 14x17 camera having been left 
in the baggage-room of the station far 
beneath. After a leisurely breakfast, an 
open carriage was secured, and the l)ig 
box and the jilate-holders picked up. 
First we passed over the iron bridge 
which spans the Shenandoah and con- 
nects the two states of Maryland and 
Virginia, and down a sweetly scented 
and shady roadway for three-quarters 
of a mile, then back again across the 
ripjiling, sparkling waters of the river 
and up the old canal by the Shenan- 
doali a mile or more, to the second 
bit, which looks for all the world like 
a piece of Holland, with its pictur- 
esquely clustered houses, and finally 
back to the heart of the dear old 
town where one of several old-fasliioneil 
streets, strongl}' suggestive of Colonial 
days, was selected as a fitting study for 
the camera. Certainly, not more than 
three hours' time was consumed in se- 



curing three studies in f)lack and white 
which please the eye and gratify the 
asthetic sensibilities. It was a pleasure- 
trip in a barouche. Instead of one or two 
minutes' exposure, as of old, just one- 
tenth of a second was required on the 
rapid dry-plates, using one of the most 
modern of the Jena glass anastigmatic 
lenses At the completion of the work 
with the big camera, it was dropped at 
the station, and a few hours more were 
spent in the fascinating sport of making 
snap-shots with an ^xio hand camera. 
Development was a matter of less than 
an hour, on the following da}', in a cozy 
little dark-room in Washington, sup- 
plied with automatic rockers and an 
abundance of fresh water. 

When we shall photograph in colors 
with the simplicit)' and ease and mini- 
mum of expenditure of labor with which 
we now make fine negatives on lightning 
dry-plates, we will have reached the 
Utopian pinnacle of photography, 
though [lerhaps the ancient wet-plate 
expert will ungrudgingly concede that 
his brightest dreams have already been 
more than realized.

Such an one to make him merry. 
Such an one to make him mad. 

Bett\'s farnur brother gave a 
Donkey to her Christmas day ; 

Donkey that a nun might ride on. 
Donkey solemn, skiw and i;ray. 

Betty doted on that donkey,

Doted on it, never caring

A TRIP over the Baltimore & Ohio 
-^-*- verified the favorable reports cur- 
rent all summer as to the notable 
improvements in progress along that 
famous scenic route through the Alle- 
ghany nioimtains, and which are to 
enable the new management to cut the 
time between Chicago and New York to 
twentj'-four hours or less. The princi- 
pal work is being done on the mountain 
divisions east and west of Cumberland, 
where the pioneer curves and grades 
are surrendering to modern engineering 
and requirements at monumental cost. 
Short cuts across foothill knobs and 
noses have been burrowed and blown.

Pennsylvania State line at Fairhope, on 
the Cumberland and Pittsburg division,

miles and correspondingly reduce the 
widely mooted twelve-mile grade that 
necessitated two engines from Cumber- 
land to Keystone, including the one mile 
tunnel at Sand Patch, in the Alleghany 
summits. Already Baltimore & Ohio 
freight trains have been lengthened from 
twenty-five to forty cars and pulled over 
these mountain divisions with a single 
engine of the new mogul pattern. Equal 
cuts and reductions have been made on

There were 100 cigars in eachliox, mak-

cents each, so I insured the lot for 
$1,000. A few days ago the man came

money. ' \'ou've had no fire at your

' I 'HIS magnificent railway station, 
-*- located in the most accessible resi- 
dence portion of the city of Baltimore, 
was erected by the Baltimore & Ohio 
Railroad for the convenience of residents 
of the northern portion of the city in 
reaching the Royal Blue trains running 
between Washington, Baltimore, Phila- 
delphia and New York. Mt. Ro>al 



cost of §300,000.00, has made this station 
beautifully attractive and one of the 
principal points of interest of Baltimore. 
The station is built of Port Deposit 
granite, with trimmings of Indiana lime- 
stone and roofed with red glazed tiling. 
The style of architecture is renaissance. 
A large square tower rises to the height 
of one hundred and fifty feet from the 




THH rnHTKlc 



Station is located at the intersection of 
Cathedral street and Mt. Royal avenue, 
and is practically in the ver}' heart of the 
residence portion of the city. 

Electric cars radiate from it to all 
parts of the city and suburbs, thus making 
it possible to reach all Baltimore & 
Ohio trains without the inconvenience 
of passing through the business portion 
of the city, to the old Camden Station. 

Mt. Royal Station enjoys the dis- 
tinction of being the most splendid rail- 
way station in the United States, built 
and used exclusiveh' by one railway. 
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, at a 



front center of the building and contains 
an electric clock with four large dials, 
showing the time plainly day and nitjht 
for miles around. The interior of the 
station is magnificent in all details, and 
with extraordinarily high ceilings, the 
architectural effect of the main waiting 
room is beautiful. This room is encir- 
cled by a running gallery, from which 
the detailed effects can be most readily 
appreciated. The floors are of marble, 
mosaic tiling; the wood finishings are of 
white oak; the wainscoting of figured 
oak; the ceilings are paneled in stamped 
metal; the furniture throughout is of

elegance of their surroundings. A full)' 
equipped news stand is at hand, and 
Graphophones with their mteresting 
reproductions of sound, are stationed in 
each waiting room, for the entertain- 
ment of passengers. No clearer con-

HRISTMAS Ev< 



Peter Stuyvesant sat crouclicd in 
his arm-chair before a cheerful log fire, 
in tile governor's mansion on the Isle of 
Mannahatta, awaiting the arrival of his 
guests. His wooden leg rested on one 
of the big brass andirons; his long 
stemmed pipe was caught lightly in his 
fingers, and his lips tightened or rela.xed 
on its glazed tip, as at intervals he 
poured forth a long stream of smoke 
toward the ceiling. 

Peter was only the shade of his 
former self. He had come back to 
earth in a spirit of curiosity, for he 
had heard strange tales of happenings 
in the possessions once governed by 
him when he was mortal. 

So on the eve of his patron saint, 
the Good St. Nicholas, he invited a few 
of his neighbor shades to spend the eve 
with him at his old home. He had 
preceded them to make ready the old 
house which he had left nearly two 
hundred and fifty years before. Hr 
drew up the old chair before the fire, 
and lighting his pipe began to smoke. 

There was nothing to note particu- 
larly in his smoking; but the smoke — 
that was curious. It floated around his 
head in great wreaths of limpid vapor. 
Slowly it gathered, and through its 
misty veil, the outlines of a face were 
plainly discernible. Another ylance 
revealed the full outlines of a man. 
He was tall, straight and commanding. 
He wore a cockade, a wig and cue; 
his old fashioned satin coat with lace 
at the sleeves, his broad waistcoat, 
knee breeches, silk stockings, tlie silver 
buckles at his knees and on his shoes 
betokened a Knickerbocker. 

"Good evening, myn heer, " said the 



shade, and Peter arose and took the 
hand of his distinguished guest, and 
pointing to another pipe which la)- on 
the huge oaken mantlepiece, bade his 
visitor be seated. 

Soon the blue smoke from the two 
pipes thickened ; and, behold ! out of it 
came the sombre form of a plain old 
man. His garb was that of a Quaker. 
His long, curly hair, his smoothly shaven 
face and folded hands were those of a 
pious man. On his head he wore a 
great beaver hat with broad brim turned 
upwards at the sides. 

" 1 trust I see thee well," saiti the 
good old man, as he moved his chair 
back from the fireplace to the wall to 
rid himself of the heat as well as the 
tobacco smoke, and sitting with his 
hands folded, seemed ready to dive 
through the thickening clouds from 
which he came, into the ether again, 
and with the aid of the wings of his 
great hat tly away. 

Again the smoke thickened, and two 
opposing clouds from the pipes of old 
Knickerbocker and Stuyvesant rolled 
together, and from it suddenly appeared 
the form of a gay cavalier, in hii;h top 
boots and spurs. About his royal blue 
doublet was buckled his sword. A red 
coat covered his frilled shirt. A gay 
ostrich plume waved from his soft felt 
hat, which he lifted as he entered the 
jiresence of his host. 

With a sweeping bow he graciously 
wished his host and assembled guests a 
merry Christmas. Such a Hurry and 
commotion was created upon his en- 
trance that the blue smoke, now bluer 
than before, had gathered quickly in the 
opening left by this knight of olden 
times, as he seated himself. 



THE SHADES OE MANN AHA TTA. 



As though propelled by a great gust 
of wind the smoke unraveled itself into 
the form of another guest entirely unlike 
any of his predecessors, as there was a 
suggestion of the modern about him 
which was not possessed b\' the other 
shades. 

"Friends and fellow countrj'men !'' 
said the fourth shade as he laid his stove 
pipe hat upon the floor, and thrust his 
right hand into the breast of his waist- 
coat, raising his left as though he were 



with the Indians; Lord Baltimore, with 
his "ancestry'' shining through him 
from his curly locks and knightly beard, 
to the flaps on his clumsy boots ; and, 
last, but by no means least, the Senator, 
bubbling with bluster and importance. 
Peter Stuyvesant was a jolly host. 
He had invited his four distinguished 
neighbors of shadeland to celebrate with 
him an event which made him proud, 
on this memorable Christmas eve. The 
wooden peg, which served him as 




going to make a speech. "Pray be 
seated," said Peter, rising, with a sug- 
gestion of temper in his accent. 

The last vestige of smoke had disap- 
peared with the arrival of this last guest. 
Whether it had blown away with his 
entrance or had consumed itself in his 
development was a conjecture. But, 
it had disappeared, and in its place 
were the filmy, transparent figures of 
Peter Stuyvesant and his four guests — 
Wouter Van Twiller, the blue stocking 
Knickerbocker ; William Penn, silent 
and pensive, he of the famous treaty 



the oaken floor 
room serving 
each of his guests with a great earthen 
mug of beer. 

Stuyvesant's select little group of 
shades were not a very boisterous crowd 
for a Christmas Eve celebration. Per- 
haps they were a little ante-dated; or, 
were fearful lest they would arouse 
some of the celebrated anger that 
Peter could stir up. When Peter was 
in the flesh, most of his time was con- 
sumed in solving knotty problems, and 
that, together with his having to peg 
along through life on a wooden leg, 
had made him notoriously cross and 
crabbed. Being ousted from office by 



THE SHAIil-S Ol- .\f.\XXAHATTA. 



death, the final scene in his great one 
act comedy-drama as Governor of New 
York might have made him worse. But 
he was not crabbed to-niglit. He invited 
his nearest neighbors to come over and 
celebrate an event which his posterity- 
had brought about. 

While his guests were sipping the 
vaporous home brew, which he set before 
them, he busied himself getting out an 
old parchment map, mildewed with age. 
and unrolling it on the big oaken table. 



sea. It was called the Isle of Manna- 
hatta. Across from the foot of the 
island, to the west and bordering the 
sea, were rude lines, indicating a village, 
and its Dutch letters, almost obliterated, 
spelled the word "Communi])aw. " The 
date on the map as near as could be 
made out was "1607." 

Peter stimiped around the table with 
his hands behind him, bending over his 
gui-'Sts, examining the map. He stopped 
at the foot of the table and tugtjed 








had his guests draw up their chairs and 
set their mugs dov/n on the four corners 
of the map to keep it from rolling up 
again. Although Peter addressed his 
guests in pure Holland Dutch, none of 
the shades had any difficulty in under- 
standing him. 

At the head of the table sat \'an 
Twiller, and as he scanned the map 
before him, his filmy countenance took 
on an intensely interested expression. 
The others only exhibited the usual 
politeness that would be expected from 
guests. 

The map was that of a peninsula, or 
more correctly speaking, an island, made 
by a big river splitting on its way to the 



fierceh' at the ends of his little mustache 
and gazed on the little town of Com- 
munipaw, with its queer houses and 
windmills. Surely they were not there 
when the map was unfolded, but some 
strange transformation had been going 
on, for in clear outlines the village had 
raised itself and signs of life had ap- 
peared. 

\'an Twiller eagerly leaned forward 



THE SHADES OF MANNAHATTA. 



on his elbows, appearing to recognize a 
figure strangely like himself. It was a 
man of importance, perhaps a leader. 
for in fact, the people obejed his will. 
The scene changed and the figure was 
swallowed up in the earth; and the old 
man leaned back in his chair again, 
assuming his former intense gaze. A 
war whoop arose from a little band of 
red figures, appearing on the island, 
and William Penn mechanically leaned 
forward and pacified the little group 



sant became enraged. Forgetting that 
he was nothing but a thin vaporous 
spook himself, vainly gesticulated and 
fumed, shaking his fists at the figures 
before him. 

Then there was a battle. The little 
figure with a wooden leg had been hard 
hit and then it disappeared from the 
map. At this Peter's vengeance cooled 
and he again became absorbed in the 
map. The rapid transition continued. 
While the little town of Communipaw

with a single glance. The little village 
grew and new figures appeared. The 
water which originally contained only 
the queer Dutch ships and Indian 
canoes, now had bigger ships of a for- 
eign make. 

Old Peter, like his guests, had re- 
mained silent during all the strange 
miniature pantomine. Suddenly loud 
noises as from afar, arose from the little 
settlement and undoubtedly the form 
of Peter himself was plainly seen in the 
midst of the assembled citizens of the 
town. At the sight of it old Stuyve- 



remained dormant, the Island was grow- 
ing with settlements. The harbor and 
rivers filled with vessels. The little 
Indian villages were driven off the 
island. Thicker and thicker appeared 
the houses; streets upon streets were 
portioning out the land. Soon the 
island was filled up and settlements ap- 
peared on each side of the wide rivers. 
The noises increased. Then the build-

ings yrew taller and the church steeples 
higher. A great bridge spanned the ri\er 
from the southeast corner of the island 
to the main-land. Trains of cars rushed 
on the main-land toward the island from 
all directions and unloaded their passen- 
gers on boats, which hurried them to 
landings in the citj'. Elevated trains 
throusi'h the streets ran from one end of 
the island to the other. On the surface 
of the streets a long stream of cars were 
pulled by an imseen cable, and all were 



now watching the bulletins on the big 
white signs in front ot the newspaper 
offices with intense interest. 

All this time the original settle- 
ment at Communipaw had grown com- 
paratively but little. Peter noted this 
and pondered. Suddenly he pointed to 
the little village, as though he had found 
the reason. Beautiful trains of the color 
of Lord Baltimore's waistcoat pulled in- 
to the station, from which crowds of 
people were entering the ferr}' boats.

moving to and from the lower end nf tin 
island, which the people called the 
Batter\-. The great bridge was alive 
with people and the two great settle- 
ments were united in one liig town. 
Then there was more noise and great 
tumult, for the people had decided to 
call their cities by one name and live 
under one government. The}' were 
having an election, and the Senator was 



Across to the island came the boats and 
entered their berths under the big build- 
ing, east of the Battery, which was 
called " Wliitehall Terminal." There 
the people dispersed in the elevated 
trains, cable cars and ferry boats and 
were carried (juickly to every part of the 
big cit}', which the people called 
•' Greater New York." 

It was Christmas Eve. The lights 
of the city sparkled like miniature 
diamonds, and the two million and a 
half people were celebrating also. " By 
the great St. Nicholas,'' said Peter 
gleefully, "this beats Oloffe Kortlandt's 
dream." | Cop\righted.] 



A SOUVENIR. 



A SOUVENIR ? What shall I say? 
■^-^ I'm but a puppet in the play, 
The muse invoked doth flee away; 
A souvenir? What shall I say? 

About blue eyes ? I do not know — 
Unless upon the driven snow, 
Dropped from the clouds to earth below, 
Are bits of sky. If so, I know. 

A dimpled chin? I've dimples seen 
Upon the laughing water's mien, 
When kissed by heaven's orbed queen; 
Such dimples sweet, ah yes, I've seen. 

Can I of golden tresses sing ? 

I've seen the sun a halo fling 

That streamed behind when he did spring 

Swift downward where the shadows cling. 

The cheek may borrow from the rose, 
The brow from whitest Arctic snows, 
The teeth from pearl the deep sea knows, 
The flower ma}' bloom where poison 
grows. 

A souvenir I give to thee; 
What token wilt return to me ? 
Wilt with thy ruby lips decree 
That thou art souvenir to me ?

THE NEMACOLIN PATH. 



' I 'HAT part of Pennsylvania lying be- 
-*- tween Pittsburg and Cumberland, 
and traversed by the line of the Balti- 
more & Ohio Road, is one of the most 
historical sections of our country. 
Its fame and scenic charms date far 
back into the past; and in myth and 
legend, in song, romance and story it 
is famous locally, wl-U known through- 
out the whole country, and not entirely 
unknown beyond Columbia's borders. 

As the mind reaches back into the 
years of more than a century ago, it con- 
templates the solitary traveler bearing 
his little pack of peltries over the same 
route where to-day rush and roar the 
locomotive and its lengthy train. For 
years and years before that time it was 
the great east and west highway of the 
savages; for here ran the great Nema- 
colin Path, and this Appian Way of the 
savages was continually filled with sav- 
age bands. 

Along this route Washington jour- 
neyed westward during the early days 
of the French and Indian war, the route 
of the ill-fated Braddock followed close- 
ly that now traversed by the line of 
"The Royal Blue," and later the old 
State road meandered along this moun- 
tain route and in the footprints of the 
early settlers followed the heavy ladened 
pack horse. Then came the great and 
only National Highway, and with it 
came the white topped emigrant wagon, 
the ponderous conestoga and the stage 
coach — the lightning express of those 
early days — and next the iron way of 
the railway appeared to complete the 
sujjjugation of the wilderness and to 
hasten the development of this most im- 
portant territory. Thus we trace the 
evolution of travel and transportation of 
the great route which is to-day con- 



trolled by the Baltimore & Ohio System, 
and its history', narrated in detail, is 
one illustrative of progress on the 
American continent. 

In the great drama of American his- 
tory which closed when the fond hopes 
of the French for empire on the Ameri- 
can continent went up with the smoke 
which rose from the ashes of Fort Du- 
quesne, George Washington was a cen- 
tral figure in that momentous struggle. 

The sending of young Washington 
over these mountains upon the em- 
bassy to warn the French out of the 
upper Ohio Valley is an event in Amer- 
ican history equal in importance with 
the discovery of the continent and the 
independence of the nation. It is an 
all-important event in our history as a 
distinct nation, for had that journey not 
been made, the great and decisive con- 
flict between the two leading nations of 
the world would not at that time have 
been precipitated; the Lilies of France 
would not have bowed before the Royal 
Cross of St. George ; the expense of 
that great struggle would not have fallen 
so heavily upon England and she would 
not have been tempted to further op- 
press the over-burdened colonists with 
heavier taxes in order to pay her war 
debts. 

This journey of Washington into 
western Pennsylvania, while made in 
the interest of England, was but an un- 
conscious masterstroke in favor of the 
American colonies which were so soon 
to be endowed with the power and dig- 
nity of free and independent statehood. 
By the summer of 1753 French aggres- 
sions in the region now embraced in 
southwestern Pennsylvania had so far 
progressed as to greatly alarm the col- 
onists. At the suggestion of the British

Council Lieutenant Governor Dinwid- 
die, of Virginia, sent George Washing- 
ton over the mountains to warn the 
French to leave the region. On Novem- 
ber I St of that year, the very day on 
which he received his commission, he 
set out from Williamsburg, and fifteen 
days later he left Wills Creek, now 
Cumberland, on his long and dangerous 
journey through the unbroken wilder- 
ness. He was accompanied by Christo- 
pher Gist, the celebrated Indian guide 



weeks for the journey which to-daj' is 
accomplished in hours. 

After his return from this first jour- 
ney, it became evident that the French 
meant to hold the western region, and 
the following year Washington was sent 
over the mountains by the same route 
with a force to drive the P'rench out of 
the region. This expedition ended at 
the Great Meadows, a few miles south 
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad west of 
the mountains. It was here the first

two friendl)' Indians. 

The route of their journey up Wills 
Creek and down the Youghiogheny was 
very nearly that now traversed by the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. But what a 
contrast is presented between the region 
as it appeared then, and now. Where 
prosperous towns and rich fields now 
appear ail was then covered by forests ; 
and through the wild woodlands ranged

fought, and nearby the opening skirmish 
of that great struggle which extended to 
both sides of the Atlantic and which was 
really the signal for two great revolu- 
tions : for the one which gave to Amer- 
ica her independence, and for the strug- 
gle which swept away the feudal institu- 
tions of Europe. 

It was while the forces of Washing- 
ton lay at Fort Necessity, which they 
had constructed at the Great Meadows,

this opening skirmish occurred. Wash- 
ington received information that a body 
of French forces were in the neighbor- 
hood, and on the night of May 24th a 
messenger from Tanacharison, or the 
Half Iving. a friendly Indian chief, con- 
firmed the information. At once Wash- 
ington led a party through the intense 
darkness to the Indian camp, and ac- 
companied b\' the savages they pro- 
ceeded to the French camp which had 
been located in a dark ravine in the 
mountains. lust at daybreak Washing- 



mounted liya cross which tells of his 
creed but not his nationality, can be 
seen the grave of Jumonville. When 
LaFayette visited this country, he made 
a pilgrimage to the grave of his illustri- 
ous countryman. 

Just a month afttr this preliminary 
struggle the French forces appeared iry 
greater numbers before Fort Necessity, 
am! he was compelled to capitulate. 
He, however, obtained most honorable 
terms and was allowed to take off all 
artillery, provisions and other belong-

ton gave the signal to fire and the shots 
which rang out among the mountains of 
Fayette County upon the misty air of 
that late May morning are the most 
famous in history. The French leader, 
Jumonville, and nine of his men wereslain 
in this engagement. The remaining nine- 
teen surrendered. The dead French 
leader was laid tenderly to rest in a 
shallow grave which W' ashington's own 
hands helped to shape and there to this 
day marked by a pile of stones sur- 



ings of the army. This first lesson in the 
uncertainties of the art of war must 
have made a lasting impression upon 
Washington. Old Fort Necessity was 
long the object of curiosity to visitors, 
but it has now almost entirely disap- 
peared ; only the lines of the old fort 
remain. About forty years ago a 
monument was dedicated, but was never 
completed. Now the Daughters of the 
American Revolution propose to restore 
the old fort and to erect a monument.

THE NEMACOLIX PATH. 



For many j'ears the land whereon this 
earlj' struggle occurred was owned b)' 
Washington. 

In 1755, General Edward Braddock 
led his army over this same mountain 
route. Owing to some difficulty regard- 
ing the rank of the colonial officers, 
Washington resigned but was finally in- 
duced to accompany Braddock as an aid. 
The story of this ill-fated e.xpedition is 
too well known to be here narrated. 
From the time the imperious Braddock 
touched our shores until he received his 
death wounds upon the banks of the 
Monongahela he never ceased fuming 
and fretting and swearing. While he 
continually scoffed at Washington's ad- 
vice before the battle, it was to him that 
the haughty Briton gave the orders for 



been somewhat changed through the in- 
tensity of modern life, the landscape 
still forms a picture romantic enough to 
make the heart of an anchorite rejoice. 
Westward from Cumberland the scenery 
is delightful. The narrows a few miles 
be}ond present as fine a picture as can 
be found anywhere; and still farther are 
Big Savage and Little Savage moun- 
tains which rear their heads majestically 
against the pale blue of the sky. The 
Big Crossing with the queer old-fashioned 
stone bridge on the line of the old 
National Pike soon catches the eye of 
the traveler. 

Now we are in the valley of the 
famous Yough. The bold mountains 
rise vindictively to hem in the dashing 
waters of this ornate mountain stream.

the retreat: and Washington read the 
, burial service over the mistaken, wrong- 
headed leader's grave. 

Braddock's grave is on the old 
National Road not far from Fort 
Necessity, and here among the pictur- 
esque hills of Western Pennsylvania he 
sleeps on in silence. Dunbar's Camp is 
another historic place. Go to the moun- 
tains and there the pastoral sons will 
point out to you these places and recite 
to you their fascinating history. 

But aside from the ilood of history, 
the country traversed by the line of the 
■'Royal Blue" in the Keystone State 
has other charms and beauties. Judea 
had no such verdant hills and the valley 
of the Nile is no more fertile. In early 
days this section was a wooded paradise, 
and while the face of the country has 



The Youghiogheny is Tamous in song as 
well as in story. Of "The Dare-Devil 

Yough " the bard has sung: 

"Where tin- bluff .Mleghenies rise rugged and rough, 
.\iul fetters and bars of a continent forge, 
There dashes defiant the dare-devil Vough, 
Through rocky ravine, deep dell and grim gorge. 
To this river I drink; for akin to my blood 
Is its torrent so bold, and so buoyant and free; 
Braving bowlder and crag with impetuous Ilood, 
.\s onward resistless it rolls to the sea." 

Here in the mountains are numerous 
attractions to pleasure seekers. Ohio 
Pyle and Markleton are famous resorts. 
This section is a paradise for the hunter 
and fisher and hundreds of sportsmen 
well know its charms. Back in the 
mountains a short distance is the cele- 
brated "Delaney's Cave" which has been 
explored for miles. The "White Rocks"

is a locality upon which a popular 
novelist has hinged a fascinating tale 
and the traveler through this region be- 
holds the great rocks standing out in 
defiance. 

Farther to the west the line traverses 
the greatest coke region in the world. 
The Connellsville Coke Region has long 
held pre-eminence in the world of coke 
and to-daN it maintains with ease its 
foremost position. As it nears Pitts- 
burg the line threads in and out of a 



myriad ot di\'ersified industrial estab-

The numerous branches of the Balti-

almost every part of southwestern 
Penns\l\ania and West X'irginia. The 
beauties of this wild and picturtsijue 
section are legion.

is to be done at the precise moment of

It has been pointed out that when 
one of the huge locomotives is to be 
carried to a side track both derricks are 
required; on such occasions one derrick 
carries suspended an immense rectangu- 
lar steel frame which fits around the cab 
and under the rear end of the boiler, 
while the other carries a massive hempen 
rope loop which is passed around each 
end of the forward truck-frame. This 
rope is a curiosity in itself, composed as 
it is of hundreds of perfectly straight 
strands of hempen string, and covered

many times that of any other form here- 
tofore employed. 

The actual manufacture of the vari- 
ous and intricate parts of a locomotive 
takes place in the surrounding shops, 
where the specialized machinery is so 
intricate that nothing short of a treatise 
on locomotive building would permit 
one to describe it, and in the erecting- 
shop only are these separate parts, com- 
ing from all directions, assembled into a 
complete and perfect engine, ready to 
go out upon the road and travel a hundred 
thousand miles or more before the neces- 
sity arises for overhauling and repair.

the heavy lathe work, cylinder-boring,

NEW CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY. WASHINGTON. D. C 



A TEN DAY stop-over at Washington, D. C, is granted on all through tickets between 
the East and West, via Baltimore & Ohio R, R. Stop-over will also be granted on 
the return journey on round-trip tickets, within the final limit of such tickets, but not 
exceeding ten days. Passengers desiring stop-over will notify conductor prior to arrival at 
Washington, so that tickets may be properly endorsed. Tickets must be deposited with 
ticket agent at B, &. O. station in Washington immediately on arrival, who will retain them 
until the journey is to be resumed, when they will be made good for continuous passage 
to destination by extension or exchange. This arrangement will doubtless be greatly appre- 
ciated by the traveling public, because it will permit the holders of through tickets to make 
a brief visit to the National Capital without additional outlay for railroad fare.

MY SPECTRAL ANNIVERSARY. 



tpiFTEEN 3'ears ago to-night ! Why 
■'■ do these sad and fearful memories, 
with fiendish persistence, celelirate thu 
anniversary of the one ghastl}' traged\' 
in my life ? With constricted heart I 
sit here in my big easy chair, the smoke 
of my cigarette slowly thickening the at- 
mosphere of the small sanctum, medi- 
tating over the disastrous finish of that 
memorable year's work. As the mental 
spectres pass before me, act by act, a 
shuddering horror creeps into my heart, 
and I hear, with almost as vivid reality 
as on the day of its occurrence, the fatal 
crack, crack, crack of a Winchester, and 
see, with blanched face, two of my com- 
rades tlirough three years of pleasure 
and hardship, sink backward into the 
boat — one never to speak, and the other 
only to murmur, "Colin, he hit me; I 
am going to die." It overpowers me, 
and I rise from the chair in terror and 
hurriedly raise the shade of the window 
and gaze out upon the wet and slippery 
street ; the peaceful homeward-scurry- 
ing pedestrians bring ease to my high- 
strung nerves. 

Perhaps this is not the way to tell a 
story properly, but I am unstrung to- 
night, and the perpetration of that das- 
tardly outrage in a so-called civilized 
country so shocks me whenever I dare 
dwell upon it that I forget the reader 
and the logical sequence of the tale. 

It was while prosecuting government 
work on the Atlantic coast-line south- 
ward from the capital of the United 
States, that two of my party so tragic- 
ally lost their lives, owing to my almost 
criminal negligence in not carrying the 
proper weapons of defense. I may say 
in self extenuation that it had been my 
custom in all previous field research to 
go pretty constantly armed, rather mod- 



estly in the East, with only a gun in my 
hip-pocket and a rifle conveniently 
handy, but out in the far West — my na- 
tive country — I carry my si.\-shooter 
openly, strung to a formidable array of 
brass cartridges buckled around my 
waist. It is not in the least my wish to 
convey the impression to the reader that 
I am an aggressive or blood-thirsty man, 
but merely to point out to him the moral 
and persuasive influence of a good gun 
in preventing evil-disposed persons from 
doing you bodily injury. Truthfully, I 
do not believe that I could hit a man if 
I tried, for I am not clever on the draw, 
and then 1 should feel some compunc- 
tion in trying , it is, nevertheless, a 
t;reat comfort to feel that you are armed, 
and to sit and speculate on wliat you 
would do if a highwayman held you up, 
or some prowling thief came round the 
camp at night. 

There were eight member<i of the 
party, all hard-working, earnest young 
fellows struggling for scientific fame, 
and all Easterners with the exception of 
myself, who constantly ridiculed me for 
carrying arms in such a gentle country, 
as they were pleased to call it. It was 
all right to call it a gentle country, and 
one where field men never got into 
trouble. I never contradicted their 
statements ; the carrying of arms was 
simply the habit of years, strong upon 
me for I never felt quite clothed with- 
out my pocket armament. For two 
years of this coast work I withstood 
their onslaughts of fun, jeers and criti- 
cism, until, thick-skinned and Scotch as 
I am, it made enough impression to 
cause me to doubt the advisability of 
longer carrying weapons. I gave up 
carrying a pocket piece, and niv rille 
was oftener left in camp than carried in

the sail-boat with us, for from necessit)- 
we worked by water. For several 
months I felt like a poor defenseless 
man, and I could not resist croaking at 
the rest of the men over and over again, 
saying, "You fellows will find out 
some day that you will need a gun,'' to 
which they invariably replied with a 
laugh something about that man "who 
lived to fight another day.'' 

My prophecy was fulfilled at last, 
for the tragedy came near the end of a 
long hard field season, just as visions of 
civilization, happy homes and sweet- 
hearts were revolving in our heads, with 
problems in trigonometry and triangula- 
tion. Our hearts were quite stampeded 
by a wild desire to get back home ; a 
tremendous longing which fills every 
man's soul who has lived for months in 
camp and suddenly realizes that he is 
almost ready to be translated from the 
roughness of outdoor life and the camp 
kitchen to the gentle and softening influ- 
ences of conventional culture and delect- 
al)le dinners in courses. 

How dear to the heart of man is the 
feeling that he may be wild and free ; 
that he need only wash his face and 
hands once a week, if he likes, or that 
he may go around in a woolen shirt and 
no coat at his own sweet will ; but how 
infinitely dearer is the overpowering 
sensation, after months of this life, that 
he is again near the realm of dress suits 
and starched linen. 

We were working up one of those 
beautiful sequestered estuaries, in which 
the southern Atlantic coast abounds, 
where many of them penetrate miles in- 
land before the head of tidewater is 
reached. This one was particularly 
fascinating, for it wound in and out, 
presenting to us at every bend new 
vistas and panoramas, each succeeding 
view seeming more charming than the 
former. No bold bluffs with hard out- 
lines, but softly rounded hills, met the 
eye, with the waters running backward 
into rounded reentrants; then again the 
main stream was narrowed by the fine- 
ly curved shore lines, and short spits 
of golden sand crowned their forward 
reaches. Heavy forests came down to 
the water's edge everywhere, with now 
and then a tree laden with long pendant 
mosses, whose pleasant grays inter- 
mingled and contrasted harmoniously 



with the tlarker greens of neighboring 
foliage. 

Out on the Atlantic a howling wind 
was blowing — the last throes of a mighty 
storm — but here the wind had lost its 
fierceness and had made love to the trees 
until it only caressed the sails of our 
tiny boat with a wayward fitfullness, al- 
most as a fickle man might a woman he 
had loved before he found a dearer. The 
capriciousness of the zephyrs that day I 
remember were particularly in accord 
with my spirits, for I had given way to 
vain memories, and thought only of a 
fair creature. Ah! who so tenderly loved 
the world — and myself between times — 
but that is past. So it was but meet 
and fit that at one moment we were drif- 
ting quietly, without a ripple upon the 
water, and in the next scurrying ahead 
in imminent danger of capsizal. The 
thought would creep into my heart, how 
much happier it might have been, for 
one of us at least, if the waters had al- 
ways been dimpled with smiles 1 

■We had nearly reached the upper 
limits of navigation, for even our small 
boat, and were selecting a spot to go 
ashore, when to our astonishment a man 
appeared upon the beach, in this silent 
wilderness, a short distance to the left 
of the landing chosen. The helm was 
shifted enough to take us to him; it 
would have been far better if our little 
craft had not obeyed so readily. One 
of the poor fellows sprang to the rail 
and shouted, "Fine day, sir. I trust 
you are well? Where do you hail from? 
Are you shipwrecked?" at which we all 
laughed, but the man's face remained 
stolid and immobile, and by no objective 
demonstration did he give any indica- 
tion that he had heard this half impolite 
pleasantry. When we were within fifty 
yards of the shore, however, he came to 
life and shouted in a deep bass voice, 
"Say! You' uns cawnt come ashore 
he'ah." He was promptly met with the 
response from his hailer in the bow, 
"Why not? We are Government offi- 
cers, (throwing a hand upwards towards 
our little stars and stripes waving at the 
masthead) and we will go where we 
like," finishing the sentence in a nettled 
voice. 

The inhuman wretch merely replied, 

"I'll be d d if you do," and turned 

and ran up the bank into the woods a

few yards, apparently disappearing be- 
hind a natural embankment. Almost at 
the instant of his disappearance came the 
ringing report of his rifle, and Clifton, 
with a spasmodic shudder, clung to the 
mast a second, and then pitched heavily 
backward into the bottom of the boat, 
never again to speak. We all rose in- 
stinctively, and then came the second 
shot, Sheridan, who stood beside me, 
gasping, "Oh: Colin he hit me; I am 
going to die!" 

I laid him down, noting the dimness 
of unconsciousness come into his eyes, 
the quivering of the eyelids and the 
wanness of the face, and wondering if 
like phenomena were exhibited in all 
dying men. My mind was staggered by 
the suddenness of the blow and dealt 
only with minutiae. The ne.\t crack of 
the rifle I heard only blankly, as I gazed 
in his dying face. It was only for an 
instant, of course; then came the sten- 
torian howl of the boatman, "Lie down 
in the boat! Pull in that foresail," 
which brought me back to our surround- 
ings and a just appreciation of the 
peril before us. 

The sails were pulled in with a rush, 
and the boat heeled over until her rail 
was under water from the strength of a 
sudden flaw. To our terrified senses it 
seemed minutes before she got under 
headway, but when once she found a 
footing we fairly flew under the close- 
hauled sails ; a good Providence held 
the wind strong until we were far be- 
yond the range of bullets, and they 
skipped over the water harmlessly be- 
hind us. There would have been two 
happier homes to-day if their com- 
panions had been as merciful. 

That murderous man, discoviTing 
that we were unarmed and had turned 
tail, dared to come down on the sandy 
beach, in open sight, and there poured 
a rain of rapidly pumped lead until his 
rifle's magazine was e.xhausted. As I 
watched him in the agon}' of passing 



minutes, dodging downward at the flash 
of each shot, my soul made a solemn 
vow, that never again, as long as life 
remained to me, would I go unarmed. 
I could have killed that man with my 
heavy rifle then, for I felt cold and 
bloodless as an avenger. But that is all 
gone now, for years ago with a heart 
welling up with a mixture of hatred and 
joy, I saw him drop with sufficient force 
to break his neck, and conjectured, as 
he dangled in the air, whether his eyes 
became insensible and his eyelids 
drooped behind the black silk cap. 

That is nearly all of the story, for 
why recall the sad memories of how we, 
men who liad never before seen death, 
tenderly laid out our two boys in the tent 
that night, and carried them next day, 
side by side, in the bottom of our boat, 
some thirty miles to a steamer wharf, on 
the outside bay. 

Even the rough and Krimy wharf- 
men, who wheeled the plain boxes in 
rumbling trucks to the steamer's deck, 
brushed away the tears when they 
learned how two mothers' hearts were 
broken, and that one of them had loved 
a dear little girl with soft blue eyes and 
golden hair, who would never again 
greet him in life. 

The murderer was one of a gang of 
moonshiners on whose territory we were 
ruthlessly encroaching. That one petu- 
lant remark of Clifton's about our being 
Government men provoked it all, for 
the prisoner, as he stood upon the dock, 
remarked, "If them durned fools hadn't 
scaareil me with their Gover'ment bluff, 
I would not be he'ah to-day." He 
thou,L;ht we were Revenue Officers come 
to raid his stronghold, and he defended 
it. A posse of United States Marshals 
and Deputy Sheriffs captured, a week 
after our sad journey home, some eight 
manufacturers of illicit whiskey, and all 
of them with one exception are serving 
time in the penitentiar_v.

IN A JANUARY THAW 



A LL the world was dark and dripping, 
-^ ^ And the skies were drear and dun, 
And my soul was chilled within me, 

For I longed to see the sun; 
And the snow was soiled and sodden, 

And the air was damp and raw. 
When I met my dainty darling 

In a Januar\' thaw. 

First I chanced to see an ankle 

In a gaiter, trim and neat, 
And a silken skirt uplifted 

As she crossed the muddy street; 
Then a lip of laughing scarlet, 

And a brow without a tlaw. 
And a cheek of summer roses — 

In a January thaw. 

There was ice upon the pavement. 

And she slipped in passing by ; 
But I saved her, and she thanked me 

In a manner sweet and shy, 
And my pulses thrilled with pleasure— 

Ah. we neither of us saw 
Cupid, with his bow and arrow. 

In a January thaw. 

Otiier lovers 'mid the lilies 

In the dusk may plight their troth, 
Or upon the moonlit beaches 

By the ocean's foam and froth ; 
But my love and 1 together 

By the same enchanted law 
Pledged our hearts unto each other 

In a lanuarv thaw. Min'na Irving.

TT is onl)' a glance that the trav<_-Ier 
'■ obtains of John Brown's monument 
at Harper's Ferry as the train either 
starts on its journe)' over the mountains 
on its west hound course or comes down 
from the mountains on its way to the 
east. To many, the sight of the plain 
shaft is nothing new, but the interest is 
always the same. Now the accustomed 
traveler gazes from the car windows 
with renewed interest. Other monu- 
ments have been placed there commem- 
orative of the great battles which were 
fought within the period of five days, 
for the possession of this natural gate- 
way to the mountain passes. 

Five iron tablets erected by the 
United States Government tell the story, 
in raised iron letters, of these battles. 
The tablets, like the leaves of an open 
book, invite the traveler to step from the 
train and read, and ponder over the exi- 
gencies of war as he speeds to destina- 
tion. The story is briefly told on the 
tablets: 

Tablet i reads as follows: 

"September loth, iSdz, General R. 
E. Lee, commanding the armv of Nor- 
thern Virginia, then at Frederick Md., 
set three columns in motion to capture 
Harper's Ferry. Maj.-Gen. L. McLaws, 
with his own division and that of Maj.- 
Gen. R. H. Anderson, marched through 
Middletown and Brownsville Pass into 
Pleasant Valley. On the 12th the bri- 
gade of Kershaw and Barksdale ascended 
Maryland Heights liy Solomon's Gap, 
moved along the crest and at nightfall 
were checked by the Union forces, under 
command of Col. T. H. Ford, about two 
miles north of this. 

"Eight Confederate brigades held 
Weverton, Sandy Hook and approaches 
from the east. On the 13th Kershaw 
and Barksdale drove the Union forces 
from the Heights. Ford, abandoning 
seven guns, retreated across the pontoon 
bridge, a few yards wide, above the rail- 
road bridge, to Harper's Ferry. The 
Union loss was 38 killed and 134 wound- 
ed; Confederates, 35 killed and 178 
wounded. 

"Brig. -Gen. James G. Walker's divi- 
sion crossed the Potomac at Point of 



Rocks, 18 miles below Harper's Ferry, 
the night of September loth, and on the 
13th occupied Loudon Heights on the 
roads south of the river leading east and 
south." 

No. 2 reads: 

"Maj.-Gen. Thomas J. Jackson, with 
his own division and those of Maj.-Gen. 
A. P. Hill and R. S. Ewell, left Fred- 
erick on the morning of September loth, 
and passetl through Middletown and 
Boonesboro. crossed the Potomac at 
Williamsport, 21 miles north of this, on 
the afternoon of the nth. Hill's divi- 
sion took the direct road to Martinsburg 
and liivouacked near it. Jackson's and 
Ewell's divisions marched to North 
Mountain Depot, on the Baltimore & 
Ohio Railroad, seven miles north of 
Martinsburg, and liivouacked. 

•■During the night Brig. -Gen. John 
White, commanding the Union forces at 
Martinsburg, 2,500 in number, aban- 
doned the place and retreated to Har- 
per's Ferr}'. Jackson occupied Martins- 
burg on the morning of the 12th, passed 
through it, and about noon of the 13th 
A. P. Hill's division in the advance, 
reached Halltown, three and one-fourth 
miles west of this, and went into camp. 
Jackson's and Ewell's division, following 
Hill's, camped near it." 

Tablet No. 3 reads: 

"Col. Dixon S. Miles, Second Uni- 
ted States Infantry, commanding tfie 
Union forces at Harper's Ferry. After 
General White joined him from Martins- 
burg September 12th, and Colonel Ford, 
from Maryland Heights, on the 13th, 
Miles had about 14,200 men. On the 
morning of the 14th the greater part of 
the force was in position on Bolivar 
Heights, one and five-eighth miles west, 
its right resting on the Potomac, its left 
on the Shenandoah, artillery distributed 
along the line. Artillery and a small 
force of infantry occupied Camp Hill, 
nearly miilwa}' between this and Bolivar 
Heights. The cavalry was under partial 
cover of the irregularity of the ground. 

"On the morning of the 14th Walker 
placed five long range guns near north 
point of Loudon Heights, and at i.oo 
p. m. opened fire on the Union batteries

on Bolivar and Camp Hill, which was re- 
plied to. An hour later Jackson's artil- 
lery opened on Bolivar Heights from 
School-House Hill, and still an hour 
later McLaws opened from two Parrott 
guns, that he had succeeded in placing 
near the south extremity of Maryland 
Heights. This fire from three directions 
was continued until dark, silencing and 
dismantling some of the Union guns." 

No. 4 says: 

"In the afternoon of the 14th Jack- 
son's di\ision advanced its left, seized 
the commanding ground near the Poto- 
mac and established artillery upon it. 
Hill's division moved obliquely from 
Halltown to the right until it struck the 
Shenandoah, then pushed along the 
river; the advance, after some sharp 
skirmishing late in the night, gained 
high ground, upon which were some 
artillery. Ewell's division advanced 
through Halltown to School-House Hill 
and deployed about one mile in front of 
Bolivar Heights, bivouacking on either 
side of the Charlestown road. During 
the night the Confederates advanced on 
the right and left, gaining some ground, 
and 10 guns of Ewell's division crossed 
the Shenandoah at Key's Ford and were 
placed on the plateau at the front of 
Loudon Heights to enfilade the Union 
forces on Bolivar Heights. 

"About g.oo p. m. the entire Union 
cavalry, about 1,500 men, crossed the 



pontoon bridge, passing up the bank 
about a mile, followed the mountain 
road near the river, crossed the Antie- 
tani near its mouth, passed through 
Sharpsburg about midnight, and escaped 
into Pennsylvania." 

No. 5: 

"At daylight September 15th, three 
batteries of Jackson's division delivered 
a severe fire against the right of the 
Bolivar Heights defenses. Ewell's bat- 
teries opened from School-House Hill 
in front. Hill's five batteries, on ground 
commanding the left of the line, and the 
10 guns across the Shenandoah poured 
an accurate enfilade fire upon the left 
and rear of Miles' defenses. The artil- 
lery on Loudon Heights and the Mary- 
land Heights joined in the attack. The 
concentrated fire of 56 guns was re- 
sponded to by the Union guns, but in an 
hour, beginning to run short of ammuni- 
tion. Miles raised the white flag in token 
of surrender. Soon after he was mortally 
wounded and the command devolved on 
General White, who completed the 
terms of capitulation by the surrender 
of about 12,500 officers and men and all 
the public property. Hill's division was 
left to parole the prisoners, while Jack- 
son, with five divisions, marched to the 
field of Antietam. Exclusive of the loss 
of Maryland Heights, the Union loss 
was 9 killed and 39 wounded; Confed- 
erates 6 killed and 69 wounded." 



IN MARYLAND. 



TN Maryland, in Maryland, 
■*■ All loves are warm as embers ; 
Her daughters' eyes, her daughters' 
sighs, 

How well my heart remembers ! 
And, oh, my love, from your dear mouth. 

The while I touch your tresses. 
To hear the cadence of the south, 

Whose words are like caresses ! 

In Maryland, in Maryland, 

The hours are made for suing. 
And hearts are light and eyes are bright 

With witcheries of wooing ; 
But oh, the skies are cold and gray 

That northward sweep above you, 
And maids have not learned how to say 

As she can say " I love you." 



In Maryland, in Maryland, 

To all my homeward yearning, 
My heart goes forth from out the north. 

To her enchantments turning : 
And oh, the longing and the pain. 

Her errant sons assailing, 
At dawn in southern skies again 

To see the gold stars paling ! 

In Maryland, in Maryland, 

Awaits my lass so slender. 
Till I shall haste to clasp her waist 

And hear her greeting tender ; 
And oh, the bliss to steal a kiss, 

Soft creeping up behind her. 
In Maryland, in Maryland, 

Returning home to find her !

thi-:n and now. 



THERE are more believers to-day 
than there were yesterday, that tlie 
air-ship will be the rival of all other 
metliods of transportation in the future. 
Be that as it may. we have only to turn 
to the files of daily newspapers pub- 
lished in this country since tlie year 
i.Soo, and be amazed at the strides of 
civilization and invention in a little more 
than fifty years. 

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad com- 
mencing the great battle for commer- 
cial activity in the '■20's," to-day is 
fully equipping itself in new steel armor 
and modern weapons of commercial 
warfare, and using every new and worthy 
invention to promote advancement in 
the science of business. Looking back- 
ward to the daily newspaper columns of 
the "30's, " after this road had estab- 
lished some business, there was printed 
in the Richmond, \'a., F.iit/ttir,-r. under 
date of Octolier 22, 1M30, the following 
astounding statement of prosperity: 

B.\L'ri-MOKE lV (HIK) R.\1 1,I;i lAI i. 

The Fourth Annual Report concerning- tliis 
great enterprise lias just been made; and from i(s 
statements, the most sanguine anticipations seem 
to be indulged that the work will be accomplished, 
and when accomplished will be profitable. A semi- 
annual dividend is to be declared on the 1st ot 
January ne.\t. The Report states these fads: 

"The first division of the lioad was opened i'<v 
transportation of passengers on May 22d, 1S30; but 
the preparation of the necessary cars was not com- 
pleted till the early part of June following; from 
which time the traveling upon this division, includ- 
ing a distance of about thirteen miles, has been con- 
stant and uninterrupted; and on the first of October 
there had been received TWENTY TIlOfSAND 
AND T\VEL\"E DOLLARS, although but a 
single track was completed and the coin|),iny were 
not in a situation, until within a short time past, 
to undertake the transportation of any merchan- 
dise or produce, and are still unable to convev 
ONE-TENTH PART OF THE IHIANTLIV 
THAT LS OFFERED." 



Under date of March 24, 1S31, the 
same paper prints in detail the heavy 
tonnage of the Road, predicting that 
the daily increased tonnage would surely 
be the mother of some newer invention 
of transportation: 

NEW TRIUMPH OF THE RAILROAD.— 
The load on the B.altimore & Ohio Railroad has 
been increased from one to TWO III'NDKED 
li.VRRELS OF FLOUR, and .me Imi se has suc- 
ceeded in drawing the whole. The particulars so 
inleresting to all the Friends of Internal Improve- 
ment at liiis time, are thus detailed in the Baltimore 
. Iiin'ih'ii/i of the 21st: 

" The experiment of the transportalion of TWO 
HUNDRED BARRELS OF FLOUK uith .i 
SINC.I.E HORSE, was made on the Railmail on 
Saturday with the most triumphant success. The 
llour was deposited in a train of eitjht cars, and 
maile, together with the cars and passengers who 
rode on them, .in entire load of thirty Ions, vi/: 
200 Barrels of Hour, - 20 tons.

Passengers, - - - 2 " 

;,ii tons, 

"The train was drawn by one horse Imm FUi- 
( .ills Mills to the Relay House, six and a hall miles, 
in forl\-six minutes. The horse was then changed, 
.mil the train having set out, reached the Depot on 
I'r.itt Street in sixty-nine minutes — thus accomplish- 
ing the thirteen miles in one hour and lifty-tive min- 
utes, or at the rate of six and three-fourths miles per 
hour. The road between the Relay House and the 
depot is a perfect level, except ;it the three deep 
excavations where an elevation of sevenleeii to 
twenty feet per mile has been resorted to for the 
purpose of drainage. The horse, except at the 
jioints just alluded to, brought the tr.ain along at a 
moder:ite trot and apparently without any extraor- 
dinary labour; he is not remarkable, and w.is not 
selected for any peculiar powers of dr.ift, and had 
performed a regular trip outwards on the morning 
of Saturday. A numerous concourse of citizens ami 
strangers witnessed the arrival of the tr.iin at the 
Depot, and although they loc>ked for the accom- 
plishment of the experiment .as a matter of course, 
many of them were nevertheless, unable to refrain 
from loudly testifying their admiration at the ease 
and celerity with which it was effected. It is, we 
believe, only a week .ago that we noticed the fact of 
the transportation of seventy-live barrels of llour 
by one horse. :is a circumstance worthy of remark 
in comparison with the numlier of horses required 



THEN AND NOW. 



for the conveyance of a load of a few- barrels over a 
turn-pike road. The experience which we have 
detailed above shows, that on Saturday a single 
horse drew three times as large a load; and there is 
no doubt that horses could be found who could with 
the same ease transport a load of three hundred 
barrels. And if such results as these can be accom- 
plished by the power of a single horse, who will 
undertake to calculate the capacity of our railroad, 
either for hea%y transportation or great rapidity, or 
both combined, when locomotive engines of the 
most improved construction constitute the moving 
power." 

If the writer of that article should 
have mentioned electricity as a power 
for the movement of trains, he would no 
doubt have been laughed at by his fel- 
low editors who were not so foresighted. 
Since then steam has been tried in near- 
ly all of its various forms in locomotion. 
The great engines which now can haul 
trains of perhaps 1,500 tons, not counting 
their own weight, and at the rate of 
thirty-five to forty miles per hour, 
would, perhaps, have staggered even 
this prophetic editor. Then what would 
he have thought should he have seen

Now as to speed, we quote from the 



American Railroad Journal, of January' 7, 
1832: 

Krom the e.xperiments made upon the Baltimore 
and Ohio Railroad, there is no reason to doubt but 
that the travelling on it may at least be safely car- 
ried at the rate of from 12 to 15 miles per hour, by 
the aid of steam power, and that passengers may be 
conveyed from Baltimore to the Ohio river within 
from 24 to 30 hours, at all seasons cf the year. 

[The above item is taken from the report of 
Mr. P. E. Thomas, President of the B. & O. R. R. 
to the Governor of the state of Maryland, dated 
Dec. 20th, 1831.— Editor.] 

"Twelve to fifteen miles an hour." 
The average man nowadays is invariably 
loud in his denunciation of a railroad 
which carries him to his business at less 
than forty-five miles an hour, and ex- 
pects sixty miles an hour when he is on 
a limited. Again quoting from the same 
Journal of February 18, 1832, we find a 
daily report of tonnage.

I'h, N. s. McChir, 



A MONG the earliest and most per- 
■'-^ plexing problems that confronted 
the Confederate leaders in the civil war 
was that of railroad transportation . The 
territory controlled by them at the be- 
ginning of the struggle — roughly speak- 
ing, that lying south of the Potomac — 
was threaded by numerous railways, the 
equipment of which was fully equal to 
the requirements of peace traffic; but 
when war came and there were masses 
of men, horses, food, ordnance and 



The plan based on the axiom that 
"all is fair in love and war," was nothing 
more or less tlian that of seizing the 
rolling stock of a northern road and ap- 
propriating it to use on the southern lines, 
which included the Raleigh and (iaston, 
from Raleigh. North Carolina, to near 
Petersburgh, Virginia; the North Caro- 
lina Central, from Raleigh to Charlotte, 
North Carolina, and the Virginia Cen- 
tral, from ( jonlonville. X'irginia. to Rich- 
mond.

ammunition to be moved, the lack of 
sufficient rolling stock became at once 
apparent. The southern railroads had 
a few shops, it is true, but their com- 
bined facilities were not equal to the 
manufacture of half the rolling stock 
needed. Where were the much-needed 
locomotives, cars and machinery to come 
from ? European markets were out of the 
question and northern shops equally so, 
for obvious reasons, even supposing that 
the requisite funds liad been forthcom- 
ing. Invention, lashed by stern neces- 
sity, soon found a way out of the dilem- 
ma, at once simple, bold and effective, 
though not unattended witli difficulty 
and danger. 



The successful carrying out of this 
scheme forms a unique and exciting chap- 
ter, which has been but little touched 
upon by war historians. It is the pur- 
pose of the present article to describe 
this remarkable movement or rather 
series of movements (for the accom- 
plishment of the plan covered nearly 
two years), and it is believed the recital 
will prove highly interesting news to 
the readers of this generation. 

In June. iSbi, the Confederate forces 
under General Joseph E. Johnston, oc- 
cupied Harper's Ferry, controlling the 
Baltimore and Ohio railroad from Point 
of Rocks, a few miles south of Harper's 
Ferry, to a considerable distance west 



lO

of Martinsburgh. The Union forces 
under General Patterson, were between 
the Potomac and the Pennsylvania line. 
Smiling fortune could hardly have fash- 
ioned a situation more favorable to the 
plans of the Confederates, covetous of 
northern locomotives, for right be- 
tween the hostile lines, and yet gener- 
ally within the grasp of the southern 
forces, ran the Baltimore and Ohio rail- 
road, a prosperous trunk line of standard 
gauge, extending from Baltimore to St. 
Louis and completely equipped with 
first-class rolling stock, while at Martins- 
burgh, only thirty-eight miles from the 
nearest southern railroad, and but eigh- 
teen miles from Winchester, which the 
Confederates at that time held without 
dispute, was the terminus of one of the 
divisions of this trunk line, with shops 
and roundhouse, a point of assembly 
and distribution for cars and engines. 

Getting possession of this coveted 
material was but a matter of protecting 
skilled workmen while they vanquished 
mechanical difficulties. That these diffi- 
culties were by no means small will be 
seen from the statement tliat the sole 
means of transporting the prizes from 
Martinsburgh, the point whence most of 
them were taken, to Strasburgh, \'ir- 
ginia, where they could be placed on 
the tracks of the Manassas Gap rail- 
road, was by way of Winchester over a 
turnpike. 

It is generalh' conceded tliat the idea 
of taking the Baltimore and Ohio rolling 
stock originated with Colonel Thomas 
R. Sharp, at the time of the occurrences 
narrated captain and acting quartermas- 
ter in the Confederate army. He was a 
civil engineer by [profession and a thor- 
ough railroad man, self-reliant and re- 
sourceful. Most of the facts given are 
obtained from J. E. Duke, now residing 
in Cumberland, Maryland, and in iS6i 
Colonel Sharp's confidential clerk. Mr. 
Duke, who enlisted in the army from 
Jefferson County, Virginia, was detailed 
for duty in the quartermaster's depart- 
ment, was present when some of the 
locomotives were taken and was more 
or less identified with the entire move- 
ment. His memory has been refreslied 
and his facts substantiated from other 
sources when thought necessary. 

The necessity for obtaining the rail- 
road material in the manner described 



created a special organization, entirely 
separate and distinct from the military, 
though, of course, co-operating with 
them, and which, while working under 
authority of the quartermaster general's 
office at Richmond, might have been 
christened the "railroad corps." The 
part taken by the military in the locomo- 
tive seizures was merely that of furnish- 
ing protection. The armed forces in- 
vested and picketed the country and left 
the railroad men free to operate. 

In speaking of the Baltimore cS: Ohio 
as a "Northern" road, the term is used 
broadly, as distinguishing the line from 
those lying entireh' within what was at 
that period of the war a Confederate 
territory. Geographically speaking, a 
good portion of the road traversed the 
border between the military North and 
South. It was frequently in the hands 
of both armies, though the Confederates 
inflicted nearly, if not all, the damage 
upon the road during the struggle. 

In June, 1861, "Stonewall" Jackson, 
acting under the orders of General 
Johnston, went to Martinsburgh and 
burned a number of cars and engines 
belonging to the Baltimore and Ohio 
road. The locomotives were but slight- 
ly injured (only the woodwork having 
been damaged), and were among those 
afterward carried off by the "railroad 
corps." 

The first capture of locomotives took 
place at Martinsburgh on a bright morn- 
ing in July, 1.S61. Everything having 
been previously arranged, the forces se- 
lected to do this work, consisting of about 
thirty-five men, including six machinists, 
detailed from the ranks, ten teamsters 
and about a dozen laborers, left Winches- 
ter before daybreak and proceeded by the 
pike to Martinsburgh. They were under 
the immediate charge of Hugh Longust, 
an experienced railroad man from Rich- 
mond. Forty horses, hired and where 
necessary impressed from the farmers 
in the rich valley, and in some cases 
driven by their well-to-do owners, formed 
a highly picturesque feature of the ex- 
pedition. They were to furnish the 
motive power. Fine specimens of horse- 
flesh they were; big, brawny-limbed, 
wcU-feil and in the very pink of condi- 
tion for draught work. Thty would 
need all their strength before the day 
was over, for there were some trouble- 



STF.ALIXG RAILROAD EXGIXES. 



some liills along the route over which 
the ponderous iron horses were to be 
pulled. Upon arrival at Martinsburgh, 
Mr. Longust, a swarthy, wiry little man, 
looked about him until his eye fell upon 
a big locomotive standing on a side track 
near the roundhouse. 

"That's tlie fellow we've got to be- 
gin on. Go in, boys!" he shouted. 

And then the skilled men and labor- 
ers began to work, using all expedition 
possible, for no one could saj' how soon 
they might be interrupted liy the enemy. 
First, the tender was uncoupled, then 
the engine was raised by means of jack- 
screws and stripped of all the parts that 
could be removed, such as side and 
piston rods, valves, levers, lamps, bell, 
whistle and sandbox. All the wheels 
were taken off except the flange drivers 
at the rear. The stripping was done to 
lighten weight, secure greater ease in 
handling and for the better preservation 
of the running gear. 

When this work had been completed, 
what had a few minutes before been a 
splendid iron Pegasus, was a helpless, 
inert ma'^s; a mere shell, deformed and 
crippled, and ready to submit to any 
indignity, even to that of being hauled 
over a country road by the flesh and 
blood horses whose office it had so long 
usurped. 

The next step was to swing the prize 
around until it hung poised in the air at 
right angles with the tracks and to re- 
place the missing forward wheels with a 
heavy truck, made especially for the 
purpose, furnished with iron-shod wood- 
en wheels, and fastened to the engine's 
bumper by an iron bolt serving as a 
linch pin. When the jacks were re- 
moved the engine rested on the flange 
drivers and the wheels of the fruck. 
A powerful chain formed the connecting 
link between the locomotive and the 
team of horses. This chain was fastened 
to the single, double and "fou'blo" 
trees, by means of which the horses 
pulled. The arrangement was very in- 
genious and insured steady and united 
effort. The horses went four abreast 
and the forty, when strung abong in 
pulling position, covered the entire 
width of the road and over loo feet of 
its length. Probably no similar team 
had ever before been seen on an Ameri- 
can road. 



When all was in readiness a team- 
ster mounted the end of each four, Lon- 
gust gave the signal, the cracks of ten 
whips rang out and the locomotive's 
novel trip was begun. The offstart was 
nierr)- and inspiring enough to such of 
the townspeople as happened to be in 
sympathy with the movement and to 
the small boy who was as usual present 
m force, it was an event keenl}' enjo\ed 
and long to be remembered, an experi- 
ence to be treasured along with that of 
donning his initial pair ot long trousers; 
but to the sturd\' band of workers who 
had the prize in charge, the trip was 
anything but a holiday jaunt. 

The time made varied according to 
state of the weather and the roads, the 
condition of the teams and various other 
causes. Sometimes the whole distance 
to Winchester, eighteen miles, was 
made in a single day, while at others 
only three or four miles would be 
covered in the same time. The average 
time of the entire trip was three days to 
Strasburgh, thirty-eight miles south of 
Martinslmrgh. Often the macailam 
covering of the road would break through 
under the unwonted weight and let the 
iron monster down into the soft earth. 
Then there was hustling. The indis- 
pensable jackscrews came into use and 
timbers were placetl under the wheels 
until after, perhaps, an hour's work a 
fresh start could be made. On levels, 
where there was good, solid road and 
all went well, the teams proceeded at a 
fast walk ; up the hills they generally 
went faster, because it was only by a 
good running start that they could get 
to the top at all. As it was, the big 
hnrses hail to strain every muscle in as- 
cending the grades. 

Before the first trip was made a 
prospecting party went over the route 
and examined the bridges on the line of 
the pike. In most instances these were 
not equal to supporting a heavy locomo- 
tive and it was necessarv to go into the 
woods, cut timber and strengthen them 
for the unusual burden. 

One of the hardest problems to solve 
was that of regulating the speed in de- 
scending hills. just what the cyclist 
does lor his wheel with his little spoon- 
shaped brake, the men in charge of the 
locomotive did for that unwieldy mass 
of iron, for had it once got beyond con- 



STEALING RAILROAD ENGINES. 



trol on a sharp down-grade, nothing 
could have saved the horses or anything 
else that happened to be in the way. 
After considerable experiment and 
thought, the all-useful jackscrew was 
again called into requisition and used as 
a brake, being fastened to the engine 
frame and placed sidewise against the 
drive wheel and tightened or loosened 
as the necessity arose by a man who 
rode on the engine. It is hardly need- 
ful to add that this man's position was 
no sinecure. 

The tenders were conveyed to Stras- 
burgh in the same manner as engines, 
eight horses being employed to the 
team. Cars were not so much in de- 
mand as engines, but a number of these 
were taken in the same manner. They 
were not only used afterward for trans- 
porting war supplies on the southern 
roads, but served the immediate pur- 
pose of carrying the detached portions 
of the locomotives. 

When the engines reached Strasburg 
they were placed on the tracks of the 
Manassas Gap road, which had the 
same gauge as the Baltimore & Ohio — 
five feet, eight and a half inches — by 
the process employed in taking them 
from the rails at Martinsburgh, and the 
tenders having been attached, they were 
hauled, by means of other steam power, 
over the road mentioned and the Orange 
& Alexandria and Virginia Central roads 
to Richmond, the detached parts re- 
maining in the cars. At Richmond they 
were assembled and kept until all had 
been brought from the line of the Balti- 
more & Ohio. Nearly a year was occu- 
pied in conveying the seized locomo- 
tives, nineteen in all, from the Baltimore 
& Ohio to Richmond, most of them com- 
ing from Martinsburgh, though a few 
were taken from Harpers Ferry and 
Duffields. The reason so long a period 
was covered in the collection of the 
seized stock was that the Baltimore & 
Ohio road was not continuously in the 
possession of the Confederates. Some- 
times, l)y the fortunes of war, they 
were driven south of the Potomac and 
when, perhaps, after months of skirm- 
ishing, they regained the lost ground, 
the interrupted work of conveying the 
rolling stock was jiatiently and system- 
atically resumed. Two or three of the 
locomotives which were started out of 



Martinsburgh on the pike never got to 
Winchester, the Union forces having 
suddenly appeared upon the scene and 
driven off the party engaged in hauling 
them. The attempt to convey them to 
Strasburg was never renewed and they 
stood by the pike between Martinsburgh 
and Winchester until recovered by the 
Baltimore & Ohio people at the close of 
the war, somewhat the worse for their 
exposure to the elements, but still cap- 
able, after repairs, of doing good ser- 
vice. 

Some of the engines were the long, 
lean freight haulers of the day; some 
were passenger locomotives, but the 
majority were of the now -vanished 
"camelback" type, designed by Ross 
Winans of Baltimore. These "camel- 
backs " were sturdy pullers, and did 
excellent service in their time, but they 
were marvels of ugliness. The cab was 
perched on top of, and well to the front 
of the high boiler, and the engineer 
stood almost over the front wheels. In 
Blind Tom's pianistic description of the 
" Battle of Manassas," he used to imi- 
tate, with that robust voice of his, the 
whistle of a "camelback," and wierd 
and blood-curdling as was the sound 
emitted from his lips, it was but a faith- 
ful reproduction of the original. 

Now and then the squad in "turnpik- 
ing" the engines, found it advisable in 
view of information received from scouts, 
to retire at night to Bunker Hill, a point 
well within the Confederate lines, to 
avoid the risk of capture, returning 
early next morning to resume opera- 
tions. The loss of one of the skilled 
men would have been a far more serious 
affair than that of a private soldier, who 
was merely a fighter, or, perhaps, even 
than that of some of the commissioned 
officers. Notwithstanding the length of 
time over which the operations ex- 
tended, and the frequent proximity of 
the Union forces, there was never as 
much as a skirmish. To carry off bodily 
such a great mass of heavy material 
from points at intervals within the 
clutch of the opposing forces, without 
the loss of a single man, was indeed a 
remarkable feat. 

The last time the "railroad corps" 
handled one of the captured locomo- 
tives was in the spring of I1S62, when 
the Confederates evacuated Manassas 



STF.Al./X(_; RAILROAD ENGINES.

just aft(-r the Second Bull Run. At that 
time the "199, " a " camelback, " and 
the last of the engines to lie taken from 
Martinsburgh, was at Strasburg ready 
to be conveyed by the way of railroads 
to Richmond. The sudden move of the 
arm}' rendered this impossible, as the 
direct route to the capital had been cut 
oft; so the night of the evacuation the 
railroad force were ordered to get that 
" camelback " to Richmond by the only 
route left open, namel}', the very cir- 
cuitous one by way of Mount Jackson 
and Staimton. Accordingly, the " igg," 
which had already cost so much time 
and trouble, was put on the tracks of 
the Manassas Gap railroad and taken 
to Mount Jackson, a distance of twenty- 
five miles, and thence by team over the 
pike, a matter of sex'enty miles more, to 
Staunton, where it was again placed on 
the rails, this time those of the X'irginia 
Central, and hauled to Richmond. The 
trip occupied about four days, and the 
movement was the most hurried and 
exciting of the series. Many bridges 
had to be strengthened en route, and in 
crossing some of them it was found nec- 
cessary to substitute a block and fall for 
the horses. Staunton was reached early 
in the morning, and though it was 
scarcely daylight, the major portion of 
the population were up and out to see 
the novel cavalcade. 

All the engines were kept at Rich- 
mond until the last one had been seized, 
the original intention having been to 
do the repairing and refitting there, but 
in May, 1S62, when McClellan began 
his movement up the Peninsula and 
preparations to evacuate the capital 
were made, the dismantled locomotives 
and their dislocated members were 
among the very first freight started out 
of Richmond. To have allowed those 
precious •' camelbacks " to fall into the 
hands of the northern troops after such 
risks and the e.xpenditure of so much 
time, ingenuity and labor, would have 
been galling indeed. Colonel Sharp, who 
had them in charge, directed Mr. Duke 
to hurry the prizes by rail to a safe 
point in the South. They were accord- 
ingly taken to a place on the North 
Carolina Central road, in AUamance 
county, North Carolina, about fifty 
miles west of Raleigh. The movement 
was successfully accomplished, and the 



engines found another tenijiorary rest- 
ing place. Meantime the large shop 
buildings of the Raleigh & Gaston rail- 
road at Raleigh were leased by the 
Southern government, fitted up with 
improved machinery, and the "Con- 
federate States locomotive shops " were 
established. The shops were read}' for 
work by July, 1S62, and the captured 
locomotives and the carloads of acces- 
sories were hauled back to Raleigh and 
a large force of workmen liegan the refit- 
ting and repairing. As fast as ready the 
rehabilitated engines were turned over 
to the various southern railroads, who 
purchased them from the Confederate 
States, readily paying for them by cred- 
its upon the government transportation 
accounts. The existence of the shops, 
which were extensive and fully 
equipped, was not generally known and 
was one of many evidences that the 
Confederate leaders, or at least some of 
them, realized that the war was to be 
no "three month's affair,'' but a long 
and hard struggle, and that the most 
sj'stematic and thorough marshaling of 
resources and facilities was necessar)'. 
About ten months were occupied in 
turning out the locomotives, and it was 
over eighteen months from the date of 
the first raid on the Baltimore & Ohio 
Railroad before they were all in active 
use again. They proved highly valua- 
ble in subsequent operations, coming 
into use as they did when much of the 
southern rolling stock was completely 
worn out. 

The long time covered, first in secur- 
ing and transporting the rolling stock, 
and afterwards in placing it in running 
order after the dismantling, showed no 
lack of skill or enterprise on the part of 
those engaged in the task (the fact that 
they accomplished it at all proved that 
they possessed those qualities in abund- 
ance), but is only evidence of the great 
and varietl difficulties under which they 
labored. The delay was owing, in some 
degree, to the peculiar character of the 
mechanical obstacles to be overcome, 
but much more to the frequent changes 
in the positions of the contending 
armies. The "railroad corps" had 
always to follow the army. 

The operations were not confined to 
the carrying off of cars and engines. 
The best portion of the equipment of 



H

the Raleigh shops, above described, in- 
cluding lathes, planers, drill presses and 
last, but not lightest, a turn-table! were 
all conveyed to Raleigh in cars, by the 
way of the pike and railroads, from the 
Baltimore & Ohio roundhouse at Mar- 
tinsburgh. More than this, at a later 
period of the war, the "railroad corps," 
who seemed to have stopped at nothing, 
actually tore up and hauled away the 
ties, rails, chairs and spikes, form- 
ing about five miles of the Baltimore & 
Ohio road between Duffields and Kear- 
neysville and relaid it from Manassas 
Gap to Centerville for the use of the 
army. Mr. Duke remembers and relates 
with dry humor how, after most strenu- 
ous efforts, this piece of track was got 
into position late Saturday evening and 
how the very next day, Sunday, it was 
captured by the Union forces. This 
episode occurred just prior to Second 
Bull Run and was a striking example of 
the extreme uncertainty of war move- 
ments. 



It is generally understood that after 
the war the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad 
was reimbursed h\ the United States 
government for the damage inflicted in 
the seizure of the engines, cars and 
track material, as well as for the de- 
struction of numerous bridges, etc., by 
the Southern forces. It is also reported 
and generally believed, that a number 
of the locomotives were recovered by 
the road after the war and were used for 
some time in the regular service of the 
company. Colonel Sharp, who con- 
ducted the movements for the seizure of 
the rolling stock, was, not many years 
after the war, made master of transpor- 
tation of the Baltimore & Ohio road and 
filled that important position for a num- 
ber of years under President John W. 
Garret, who was at the head of the road 
during the war, and who was able to 
appreciate enterprise and ability, even 
when for a season directed against his 
own interests. Ernest Shriver.

"l\7HEN electrii itN' was hist proposed 
' ' for transportation, probably all of 
the scientists who had made this a study 
concluded that it would not be available 
for the heavy fnit;ht traffic on a railroad. 
That it would br serviceable for street 
raihvaxs was conceded, but it was for 
the Baltimore \' Ohio Railroad to suc- 
cessfulh' demonstrate that it was not 



tunnel in the world. It is 7,339 feet, or 
nearly a mile and a half long, 2-] feet 
hi^h, Z2 feet wide, and cost in the neigh- 
borhood of 57,500,000,00. 

Before the tunnel was finished the 
question of ventilation liecame urgent, 
and at the suggestion of the General 
Electric Company it was proposed that 
electric locomotives should be used in- 




only a possibility but in their particular 
case a necessity. 

When the great tunnel was built 
through the heart of Baltimore under 
Howard street, one of its principal 
thoroughfares, the question arose as 
to what would be the best method of 
ventilating the subterranean passage 
without sinking vertical shafts through 
the cellars of houses or in the street 
along its line. 

The tunnel is the longest soft earth 



stead of steam locomotives, and thereby 
keeping the air in the tunnel free from the 
usual coal gases. The experiment was 
first tried witli a sixty-seven ton electric 
locomotive and proved successful. The 
result was the building of a magnificent 
powerhouse and the placing of an order 
for three Combination Schenectady En- 
gines, to be built with electrical appli- 
ances furnished b)' the General Electric 
Company. These electric locomotives 
are not only operated through the tun-

As Baltimore is huilt upon a very 
undulating surface there are naturally 
some steep grades in the track, and a 
freight train of forty cars would have to 
be pulled by at least two steam engines, 
using about all tlu- power they could 
command. 

It is a common occurrence to see a 
long freight train of about 1,5110 tonnage 
waiting to be transported through the 
city bv way of the tunnel with one of 
these locomoti\es which can command 



General Electric Company, at Schenec- 
tad}', N. v.. and a brief description of 
them will be interesting. 

They are made to run in either di- 
rection, and rival in weight and size the 
largest steam locomotive. They are 
symmetrical and even handsome in ap- 
pearance to the eye of the most critical 
engineer, and are free from the series of 
humps which are necessary on the back 
of a steam locomotive. They are not 
playthings, as the following dimensions 
sliow : Number of trucks, 2; weight on 
driving wheels, iij2, 000 pounds; number 




more than double the power of a steam 
locomotive. The electric locomotive 
will couple on to these trains and pull 
them apparently without effort over all 
the steep grades. The engineers of the 
steam locomotives are required to shut 
off all coal gases as they approach the 
tunnel, consequently the air is kept pure. 
All passenger trains of six or more cars 
in length are forbidden to use the tun- 
nel unless taken through by one of the 
motor engines. 

The work of building these ponder- 
ous machines was supervised by the 



of driving wheels, S; draw bar pull, 42,- 
000 pounds; starting draw bar pull, 60,- 
000 pounds; gauge, 4 feet S'j inches; 
diameter of drivers, O2 inches inside of 
tires; length over all, 35 feet; height to 
top of cab, 14 feet 3 inches; e-xtreme 
width, 9 feet b'^ inches. 

Should the locomotive be di\ided 
through the center of the cab there 
would be two distinct individual locomo- 
tives to all outward appearances, such is 
their symmetrical construction. Inside 
the cab at one end is what appears to be 
a large iron safe which contains the

GETTIXG WORK OUT OF ELECTRICITY. 



powerful motor; on the top of this a lever 
is worked on the same principle as the 
motorman's lever on a trolley car. The 
motorman on the engine uses it as he 
would the throttle of a steam engine. 




In this connection a stor)- is told of 
one of the oldest engineers of the Balti- 
more & Ohio Railroad, who had been for 
years intrusted with 
the Limited trains 
of the Royal Blue 
Line. When the first 
electric locomotive 
was finished and 
ready for use it was 
concluded to honor 
the old engineer by 
giving him charge of 
this mysterious en- 
gine, so he could 
do work at home. 
He reluctantly took 
his place at the mo- 
tor, which at that 
time was worked by 
a wheel, but he 
could not success- 
fully control the en- 
gine. Many attempts 
were made and 
other engineers were called in to try 
their hand, but with no better result. 



Then it was decided to try men who 
were accustomed to electric motors, but 
these men were not accepted because 
they did not have the experience that 
was necessary to assume the responsi- 
bility of running a 
train. Somebody 
suggested that the 
original engineer se- 
lected would be just 
the man if he could 
handle the throttle 
to which he had 
been accustomed, 
and so the throttle 
was substituted for 
the wheel, and 
strange to say, the 
great engine obeyed 
his commands. It 
was simply a case 
of " the carpenter 
not being able to 
work without his own 
tools." 

The illustrations 

given herewith show 

glimpses of the tunnel, the over head 

trolley system, and the power plant 

of the first and onlj' successful electri- 




cal railway for heavy purposes in exist- 
ence.

No. 5- 



A MARYLAND MAID. 



TN the years long gone, the prettiest 
-*■ maid by far in all the town of Fred- 
erick, that beautiful little city set so 
daintily in the midst of the Maryland 
mountains was Janet Foy. 

At the time of this chronicle, Janet 
was just twenty, when if e\er a girl is a 
tyrant — and what man will say she is 
not? — she is most tyrannical, and the 
fair and fickle maiden was exercising 
over her helpless subjects, not only in 
Frederick, but in Baltimore, Washing- 
ton, Hagerstown and the circle of vil- 
lages in the valleys, a sceptre which 
smote all hearts and left them bleeding 
and hopeless where the}' fell. 

As for her own heart, had there been 
no answering rod which laid the stripes 
of punishment upon it? Is a woman's 
heart at twenty, hard, or, is it merely 
that she steels it against the cavaliers 
who attack it, and she laughs them to 
scorn and vanquishment, not because 
she loves men less, but because she 
loves power more? 

Janet Foy was not at home and 
among her friends, the cruel tyrant and 
imperious woman her suitors claimed 
that she was, nor was she, among the 
people of her acquaintance, held in such 
esteem, except b)y the love-lorn youths 
who dangled in her train. Her friends 
admitted that she was a dreadful flirt, 
but they insisted that there was such 
sunshine in her face, and such sparkle 
in her roguish eyes, such music in her 
voice and such merry mischief in her 
laugh, that not a man or woman in 
Frederick would have given up their 
pleasure in these harmless attributes to 
have saved all the love-sick youths of 
the valley from immediate and perpet- 
ual desolation in which no gleam of 
hope could ever shine again. 



Selfish creatures that they were, 
what did they care how many tender 
hearts of the male persuasion were 
crushed into bits so long as Janet Foy 
was a delight and a defiance to all the 
world ? If she were a flirt, God made 
her so, and the simple people who knew 
her and loved her were quite content 
not to question or criticize the works 
and ways of an all-wise Providence. 

But had her own light heart never 
known the touch of that pain whicli, 
once felt, is never forgotten ? 

Among those who had worshiped at 
her shrine longer, perhaps, than any 
other, though with less demonstration, 
was Frederick Ball, a young man who 
had been practicing law for five years, 
and who had for ten years dreamed of 
Janet Foy. He was five years her sen- 
ior, and when he had seen her as a girl 
at the school they attended, he had 
unconsciously fallen in love with her. 
I'sually when boys of fifteen fall in love 
with girls of ten the proceeding is by no 
means one of unconsciousness, for love 
at that demonstrative age is only an- 
other form of active consciousness ; but 
with Frederick Ball it was not as with 
other boys. He was older than his 
years, and where the ordinary boy of 
his age would speak it seemed the bet- 
ter way to Frederick to give himself 
only to thought. It was thus that he 
never talked much to the pretty little 
girl across the school room, but he would 
look at her when he could without de- 
tection, and he dreamed of her when he 
dreamed of anything except his future 
as a great lawyer, for the law was his 
choice and his hope from the very be- 
ginning. 

As the two children grew to manhood 
and womanhood Janet began to feel the 



A AfARYLAND MAID. 



silent espionage of the young man she 
seemed to have known always without 
ever noticing particularly, and she be- 
came restive and later, woman-like, she 
resented it. 

One day shortly after her graduation, 
when Frederick was already a full 
fledged lawyer, they set upon the high 
doorsteps of her father's house over- 
looking the square, in which stood the 
Temple of Justice, wherein Frederick 
hoped to be a high priest some day, and 
sitting there talking as young persons 
talk on doorsteps, they almost quarreled. 
"You are so very peculiar, Fred,'' 
she said petulantly and as if feeling that 
it were necessary for her to defend her- 
self against something she could not 
definitely designate. 

"In respect of what. Miss Foy," he 
responded with a stateliness which was 
more sarcasm than dignity. 

"I don'texactly know, "she answered, 
feeling that while her argument might 
be defective she was sure of her facts, 
"but you seem to act towards me as if 
I were a little girl, and you were my 
grandfather and were constantly on the 
watch for fear I would run away." 

" Have I ever said anything that would 
lead you to infer that I was your grand- 
father?" he smiled in kindly fashion. 

"No, you haven't, "she snapped back 
at him as if his tone nagged her, "but 
you make me feel as if you carried a sign 
before my eyes reading, 'Behold your 
grandfather.' " 

"That must be because I am so much 
older than you." 

"A man at twenty-five is always the 
junior of a woman of twenty," she re- 
torted. 

"A lady asked me to-day how old 
Miss Foy was," he said easily, "and I 
did not give her much satisfaction. 
When I see her again I shall apologize 
and say that while I do not know Miss 
Foy's exact age, I have it on her own 
authority that she is older than 1 am 
and that I am twenty-five." 

Her face flushed and the angry lines 
showed themselves around the corners 
of her mouth and about her eyes. She 
was on the point of making a hasty reply 
when she checked herself and laughed. 

"You thought you would provoke 
me into saying something I shouldn't 
have said, didn't you?" she said. "Well. 



I shall not do it. 1 am older than you 
are as I said I was, and I prove it to you 
by not doing a foolish thing under your 
provocation. Now, Mr. Attorney, you 
may go on with your argument." 

"It is women like you are, Janet," 
he said seriously after he had laughed 
at her skillful manoeuvering, "who make 
men do whatever they wish them to do, 
be it good or bad. " 

"But you are not of the kind of men 
whom women control in that way. There 
are women as you say I am. Mr. Ball, 
and there are men as I say you are. 
What happens when they meet? Is it 
the irresistible meeting the unsur- 
mountable?" 

Frederick had for a long time wished 
to speak to Janet exactly on the lines 
that now seemed to stretch straight 
before them both and by Fate's doing 
rather than by any planning of their 
own. Certainly not by any of his and 
he knew that Janet had no need of 
scheming. 

"Janet," he said, with more depth 
of feeling than he had ever known, 
"whatever you would ask me to do, that 
would I do, good or bad." 

The girl looked at him in amazement. 
Perhaps she had never thought of him 
other than as the friend of her school 
days and girlhood — a boy merely. Now 
there was in every modulation and 
accent of his voice and words the very 
spirit and strength of a man, and a man 
willing to do whatever she asked. If 
she had thought of him as a lover of 
hers who might one day become her 
husband, no one of those who saw her 
most ever suspected it for she had given 
no sign. He knew that she had en- 
couraged him not so much as a master 
encouraged his dog. He had watched 
her smile on the dozens who flocked 
about her and he had prayed in his 
silence that some day she might smile 
on him, but not as she did on them. It 
was not the fraction of a smile he sought, 
but all— all— all. 

What she may have thought she did 
not speak, and whatever of amazement 
followed his words passed as a summer 
cloud and she looked fairly into his eyes, 
cold and hard, but firmly. 

"Mr. Ball," she said very slowly, 'T 
shall take you at your word. I shall ask 
you to do for me what may be good or 



.-/ .]/.lR)'/.-IXn MAID. 



bad as you make it. Come to-morrow 
evening here. And now, good-bye until 
then." 

As Frederick Ball thought that night 
of Janet Foy it seemed to him that some 
new being had taken the place of the 
pretty little girl he had known, and he 
wondered what she would ask him to do 
when he came again the next evening. 
It was no trifling matter he was sure, 
for Janet had spoken as only a woman 
in her most serious mood could speak. 
Be her commands what thej' might be, 
however, he was prepared to obey them 
to the utmost limit. He dreamed of 
her that night, but his dreams for the 
first time were not briglit as they had 
been. There was a shadow lurking in 
them which he could not define and 
when morning came he felt as if he were 
facing some evil. All day the feeling 
forced itself in upon him at intervals 
and when he met Janet in the evening 
he was not as he had ever been. As for 
Janet she gave no sign, except that she 
was very serious, indeed. 

"Mr. Ball,'" she said, when they had 
sat for perhaps a half hour talking at 
random, "you remember last night that 
you said you would do anything I asked 
you to do. good or bad?" 

"Quite distinctly, Miss Foy," he 
replied, "and I am no less wiUing to 
perform it now than I was to say it last 
night. What would you have me to do?" 
She seemed to appreciate this forestall- 
ing of her request by asking for it, and 
she smiled and put out her hand to him. 

"You have an ambition to be a great 
lawyer," she said slowly, "and you have 
made such a beginning here as any 
young man should be proud of. I ask 
you to give it all up and go to Balti- 
more, there to begin at the beginning 
among a strange people. I ask you — " 

Ball was struck speechless for an in- 
stant and then he interrupted her. 

"Why, what do you mean, Janet,'' 
he cried, "What can you mean? Do 
you want me to ruin myself? Do you 
want me to desert my friends? Have 
you no feeling for my own people? What 
of you and of me? Is it all to be lost 
for a foolish woman's wliim ?" 

She did not change color under this 
attack. 

"You said you would do for me any- 
thing I asked," she said coldly, "Am I 



to understantl by that statement just 
now repeated b_v yourself that what you 
say is not what you mean? That you 
will not do what you say you will do?" 

He jumped from the step to the 
pavement below and walked up and 
down m front of her as if he were a 
caged beast under the lash. 

"You do not know what you are 
saying." he exclaimed. "You, a girl, to 
demand this of me. It is silly, prepos- 
terous; it will make me the lauf^hing 
stock of the town and will mark you as 
a dangerous flirt who would ruin a man 
simply to show her power over him." 

"That is not the question. I have 
asked you to give up everything here 
and go to Baltimore to make a new 
beginning. I ask again that you do this 
for my sake, seeing that you have said 
you woukl do anything for me I asked, 
and that you do not return here or com- 
municate with any one. You are to be 
for two jears dead to what may be here. 
As for myself. I shall go on as I have 
gone on in the past. At the end of two 
years you may return. Now, what will 
3'ou do?" 

It was a tremendous question for a 
man to decide, but there was in Fred- 
erick Ball's nature that quality of chiv- 
alry which has made poetry and song 
and love, and with a sudden resolve he 
stood up before this girl calmly asking 
so much of him. 

■•Janet," he said almost fiercely, 
"what I have said I would do, that will 
I do. Good night," and he stepped 
lightly down and hurried away in the 
darkness. 

The girl's eyes glistened ami her 
face shone, with a feeling of triumph, 
shall it be said? — as the young man 
walked rapidly down the quiet street, 
his footsteps striking the time as a sol- 
dier's who goes away to battle and vic- 
tory. 

But was she glad? 

A year had gone by and the wonder 
of Frederick Ball's disappearance had 
given place to other wonders as soon as 
it was known that he and Janet had 
quarreled and he had gone away broken 
hearted. That was the way the story 
went and Janet said nothing to make it 
a different story. As for Frederick, he 
was interdicted. He could say nothing 
in defense or e.xplanation . He loved 



A MARYLAND MAID. 



Janet, and he was doing what she had 
asked him to do for her sake and with- 
out so much as a word of promised re- 
ward. It was enough to do something 
for her ; that was its own reward. 

As the first year went by and the 
second, Janet was no less the object of 
adoration to love-sick mankind than she 
had been always. She was to that man- 
ner born, and she could not prevent the 
men from falling in love with her. But 
she gave her thought to Frederick Ball, 
and as she thought of him, so silent, so 
submissive, the woman in her began 
to assert itself, and instead of loving 
him as she thought she should do for the 
great sacrifice he was making, she began 
to think that a man who would do all 
he had done for her was a weak man 
and did not love her as he should. If 
he had loved her, she argued, he would 
have told her in the beginning that he 
would not act so foolishly just because 
she asked him to, but like a sensible 
man he would have made his sacrifice 
by marrying her then and there and as- 
suming the responsibilities of marriage, 
and would have become a good and use- 
ful citizen. As it was, he simply listened 
to what she had been silly enough to 
ask of him, and was now keeping him- 
self away from her and making himself 
and everybody else miserable by his 
conduct, and she would not have such a 
man now if he came home that very 
minute. And so on to a great extent, 
as any woman under similar circum- 
stances would do. 

Whoever has come into the Freder- 
ick of to-day over the Baltimore & Ohio 
railroad has observed, if he has been at 
all observant, an old-fashioned white- 
washed stone freight depot just before 
the train stops at the station. On the 
roof at one end of this ancient structure 
is a little cupola, in which, in the time 
of this story, hung a bell. The building 
was the passenger station of the Balti- 
more railroad, and when the trains ar- 
rived, drawn by horses as the}' were 
then, tliis bell was rung to inform the 
people of the town that the train with 
its mail and passengers had arrived. 

A daj- before the two years of Fred- 
erick Ball's exile had expired, Janet Foy 
was walking in the evening across the 
square in front of her home with two 
young attorneys, when they heard the 



bell ringing at the station, and it was 
proposed that they walk over to the tiain, 
a distance of half a mile, to see who had 
come in. As they crossed the bridge 
over the little stream between the sta- 
tion and the town, they met the conduc- 
tor of the train, whom they all knew, 
and he stopped and handed Miss Janet 
a letter. It was not addressed, but 
something told her it was a letter to be 
opened only in her own room, and she 
laughingly put aside the inquiries of her 
escorts and showed them the envelope 
to decide for themselves whence it came. 
She did not know, and told them so, but 
she suspected and she wondered, but 
she controlled her curiosity so admir- 
ably that it was after ten o'clock when 
her callers left and she had an oppor- 
tunity to solve the problem. 

She was nervous when she tore open 
the letter, and when she saw it was from 
whom she suspected she could not 
imagine what it meant nor wh}- he should 
have written it. 

" My Dear Miss Foy," it read. " I 
have decided that under the circum- 
stances it would not avail me to come 
back to you after the expiration of my 
term of exile. You have given no sign 
in these long two years that a visit from 
me would be at all welcome, and I do 
not care to further pain and humiliate 
myself through the whims of, I fear, a 
heartless woman. Therefore, let me 
very briefly say farewell. 
Sincerely, 

Frederick Ball." 

Baltimore, June 7th, 1845. 

Janet's face flushed, and her first im- 
pulse was anger and resentment against 
what seemed to her to be an unjust im- 
putation. She threw the letter to one 
side and began putting out the lights in 
the room, softly humming to herself, 
but not joj'ously. There was an under- 
tone that was susceptible of more than 
one interpretation. That she was busily 
thinking the meanwhile was apparent, for 
presently she smiled as if she had met 
with an agreeable idea in her mental 
wanderings. She went immediatel}' to 
her room then and wrote two letters. 

The first was as follows : 
"Mv Dear Mr. Ball: 

You have decided wisely. 

Cordially, Janet Fov.'' 

Frederick, Md.. 10.15 ^'- ^'•' June 8. 



A MARYLAND MAID. 



Then she wrote another wliich read 
in thiswise ; 
Dear Old Fred : 

What is the use of your beinfc silly, 
too? Don't 3^ou think it is enough for 
me to be so? What are you for if not 
to teach me better things? Wliatever 
you may have thought of the exile you 
have been undergoing for this eternity 
it wasn't anything to what I have been 
experiencing. If you don't come to 
Frederick on the cars to-morrow even- 
ing you may look for me in Baltimore 
on the arrival of the train from this 
town the next morning.

Then she laid both letters aside and 
went to bed to dream bright dreams, 
and early in tlie morning she awoke and 
went herself with the letters to the con- 
ductor to deliver them with instructions 
as to how he should give them to Mr. 
Ball, the one marked " i " in the corner 
first, to be followed shortly by the 
other, marked " 2." 

"That's all there is for you to do," 
she said witli a smile. "Mr. Ball will 
do the rest. " 

Which Mr. Ball did, and the conduct- 
or af<erwards said he never saw such a 
change in a man's face and manner as 
there was in Fred Ball's when he read 
those two letters from Janet Foy.

She'd fallen out with Charley Chase,

Now Cupid sat in gown and wig 

With little Puck assisting. 
While Bow and Bubble, small and big. 

As lawyers, did the twisting.

"Dam — age, sir, is the question," 
Roared Bow. Said Puck, "we'll be in

If you'll avoid suggestion." 

" ' Tis breach of promise," loudly cries 
Old Bubble. He o'erreaches ; 

For Cupid smilingly replies 

" / know Love has no breeches." 

Such were the points of every sort, 
The lawyers fought like fury. 

Until the case went out of court 
With a divided jury. 

The bold defendant laughed aloud, 
The plaintiff wept most timely ; 

Then Puck called "Order! "to the crowd. 
And spoke these words sublimely :

THE 

Royal Blue Line 

BETWEEN 

New York, Philadelphia, 
p>altlm(jke and washington 



npHE Royal Blue Line is as near an 
-^ air line as may be achieved from 
the nature of the topography of the 
country, considering engineering econ- 
omy as to easy grades and curves to 
reach either terminal and the local 
points of traffic. Hence, it is possible, 
with absolute safety, to reach the high- 
est rates of speetl obtainable from the 
most improved machinery. Add to this 
the high standard compelled b}' the su- 
pervisors of track in the maintenance of 
way of the three roads of the line, and 
the fast train service in operation is not 
a source of special wonder, but accepted 
as a matter of course. 

A description of the route from New 
York to Washington is given in detail. 

The ''Royal Blue Line" boasts of 
two excellent terminals at New York; 
the one at foot of Liberty street and the 
other at South Ferry or Whitehall 
Terminal, foot of Whitehall street. 
This terminal is by far the most conven- 
ient in New York, as all trains of the 
Second, Third, Si.xth and Ninth avenue 
elevated lines, Broadway, Columbus and 
Lexington avenue cable lines. East and 
West side belt line horse cars terminate 
at this point and under the same roof. 
Besides, the Staten Island Ferry, South 
Ferry, Hamilton Avenue and Thirty- 
ninth Street Brooklyn Ferries all leave 
this station. 



The views of interest along the route 
are not a few and are full of attractive- 
ness. Trains to and from New York 
pass near the shore, affording fine views 
of the bay and harbor, the shipping, the 
statue of Liberty, the forts and coast de- 
fenses. Long Island and Staten Island, 
with a distant view of the great cities ; 
and if the ride be at night the scene is 
entrancing, the brilliant lights dotting 
sea and shore in every direction, and 
doubling their numbers by reflection in 
the dark waters of the bay, while over 
all. Liberty lifts high her torch and sheds 
a glaring light on the lesser ones below. 
Along the shore are the villages of 
Claremont and Greenville, lying near 
Bergen Hill. Bayonne and Bergen 
Point are on the peninsula between the 
two bays — with unsurpassed facilities 
for bathing, boating and fishing ; the 
latter is a famous out-of-town residence 
point. At Centreville the smoking 
chimneys are those of the Standard Oil 
Company's and Lombanl, A\res & Go's 
great oil works, refineries and piers. 

It is a long bridge of two miles 
across Newark Bay, a bridge of iron 
with a pivot draw laid on a pier of solid 
masonry, forced to the rock bottom of 
the bay by hydraulic machinery, making 
the pier as solid as the natural rock. 
A look from the windows on the north 
side will show the spires of the city of

Newark, and on the south the hills of 
Staten Island across the Kill von KuU. 
After crossing the long bridge across 
Newark Bay near its junction with the 
Kill von Kull, the route passes the great 
coal docks and manufactories of Eliza- 
bethport, where the branch from Newark 
joins the main line, and where leading 
southward the road reaches to Perth 
and South Amboy, Red Bank, Long

Branch, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove and 
other famous resorts along the Jersey 
shore. 

Elizabethport was a famous port in 
the old Revolutionary days. Mere 
George Washington left his coach and 
embarked for New York to he inaugu- 
rated as first President of the United 
States. It was a great shipping point 
then, as it is to-day, though the com- 



modities were different. Then it was of 
supplies for the interior from the mar- 
kets of New York; now the traffic is in 
coal brought by rail from the anthracite 
regions to the immense piers and pockets 
at Elizabethport. Four or five thousand 
of the inhabitants of Elizabethport are 
the employes of one corporation — that 
of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, 
whose buildings cover many acres of 
ground there — which, with 
numerous other manufactur- 
ing concerns, make the city a 
very busy and a very pros- 
perous one. 

Elizabeth was once the 
capital of New Jersey, and 
the seat of the College of 
New Jersey, which was re- 
moved to Newark and thence 
to Princeton. The city was 
named in honor of the wife 
of Governor Cartaret, who 
was Governor more than two 
hundred years ago. It is a 
fact not generally known that 
female suffrage was legal in 
New Jersey within the pres- 
ent century but it is alleged, 
that at Elizabeth they proved 
to be repeaters, and by a 
change of costume voted 
early and often at one par- 
ticular election ; the election 
was annulled by the Legisla- 
ture and the right of suffrage 
taken away, and now they 
can't vote even at Eliza- 
beth. There are few cities 
that can boast of better 
railway facilities than Eli- 
zabeth, as there are over 
two hundred trains a day 
between the city and New 
York, to say nothing of the 
direct communication by 
water. These facts and the 
great manufactories of all 
kinds indicate prosperity and 
a great future. West Elizabeth is also 
called El Mora, and is the ne.xt station. 
Roselle. a pretty village with a pretty 
name, fifteen miles from New York, and 
Cranford, two miles further, on the west 
side of the Rahway River, are charming

tages, siiaded streets and grassy lawns. 
Westfield is a growing town just at the 
foot of the Orange Mountains on the

southi.rn slope. Here are amliitious 
hills from whose tops the view takes in 
the great city and the ba}' and the nearer 
smaller cities all about. Fanwood, 
formerly Scotch Plains, distant twenty- 
two miles from New York, and which 
has for a close neighbor the vil- 
lage of Netherwood, also on the Orange 
foot-hills, is a favorite place for country 
seats of New York business men. 

Plainfield is another favorite place 
of residence for a large number of solid 
business men of New York, who have 
here erected elegant homes, going to and 



tluir first meeting-house on Peace street, 
which they still occupy ; the Baptists 
also chose Plainfield as the place for 
their first church. While the literary 
circles of Plainfield include a large per- 
centage of the people, there are not a 
few engaged in industrial pursuits and 
manufacturing, making the town one of 
the most thriving in the State. As a 
pleasure resort Plainfield presents many 
attractions, as the drives through the 
shaded streets to Netherwood Heights, 
along the Blue Ridge, and to Washing- 
ton Rock on smooth well-kept roads.

fort, if not less loss of time than many 
who live within the city's limits. Plain- 
field is one of the oldest of Jersey towns, 
its ancient history running back over a 
hundred and fift)' years, when its first 
frame house was built in 1735. The 
town figures in the Nation's history as a 
point of importance during the war for 
independence. "The Rock'' on the 
Orange hills is shown as Washington's 
observation point, from which he kept 
an eye on the movements of King 
George's soldiers untler General Howe. 
Here also the Society of Friends built 



amply demonstrate, to which may be 
added pure air and water, and a general 
pervading of the picturesque. Dun- 
ellen, next — twenty-seven miles from 
New York, charmingly and healthfully 
located in the long life district — is a 
picturesque village, whose shaded 
streets end in country roads, providing 
drive-ways to neighboring towns and 
the mountains. 

The Middlesex County Club have 
shooting grounds at Dunellen, and the 
only real English " Bowling Green '' in 
Jersey is at Dunellen. Spring Lake, 
with its delightful rowing and fishing, is 
only a mile away. 



THE ROYAL BLUR LINE.

Bound Brook on tlie Raritan River, 
is the junction of tlie Central Railroad 
of New Jerse}'. and the Philadelphia & 
Reading, and obtained its name from 
the brook east of the station, which was 
a land boundary in the Colonial days — 
a name handed down to the Bound 
Brook Route, the pioneer fast line. 
From this point there is a turn more to 
the southward, following closely the old 
stage road. Bound Brook is a very old 
settlement, the name occurring 230 
years ago. The first house was called 
by a name rather unpronounceable, 



before the steam in the tea-kettle of 
James Watt's mother had lifted the lid, 
the old line of Swift-Sure stages made a 
stop liere. 

The middle link of this j^reat tri- 
partite through line is reached at Bound 
Brook, where its trains enter upon the 
New York division of the splendid Read- 
ing Railroad System. From this point 
the line runs straight away southwest 
through the beautiful and productive 
garden lands of Somerset and Mercer, 
to where the River Delaware flows be- 
tween New Jersey and Pennsj'lvania.

Rackawackhanna, and was the head- 
quarters of Lord Cornwallis in 1777, and 
of the notorious Col. Simcoe. The first 
two-story house, built in 1 7'^4, was ap- 
parently regarded as too ambitious a 
structure ; and as if suggesting that the 
owner was inclined to put on airs, was 
denominated "Van Norden's Folly." 
The (Jueen's Bridge was built across 
the Raritan in 1731, and used by the 
old-time stages, at that time the only 
means of public travel. The village has 
long been a station on the line of travel 
between New York and Philadelphia, 
long before railroads were dreamed of ; 



Wide-stretching fields of waving grain 
alternate with orchards whose serried 
rows of trees bend beneath a generous 
fruitage, while on the farther hillsides 
cluster herds of highest pedigree. Smil- 
ing villages dot the far-horizoned land- 
scape, and wide as the traveler's vision 
may reach are evidences of thrift and 
peace and plenty. 

The first station met upon the 
"Reading'' is Weston, a charming vil- 
lage thirty-five miles from New York 
and fifty-five miles from Philadelphia. 
It is the centre of a prosperous agricul- 
tural section, as is likewise Hamilton,

another pretty station a few miles further 
westward. Next comes Belle Mead, 
famous for its great stock-breeding 
farms, and then Harlingen, situated in 
the pleasant and highly productive 
centre of Somerset County. Skillman

Philadelphia, being forty-five miles from 
either, and an important town is rapidly 



Passing Stoutsburg, -Jying in a rich

Hopewell, a manufacturing and agricul-

milfs from New York ami thirty- 
two from Philadelphia. Here diverges 
a short branch line running into the city 
of Trenton, New Jersey's capital, and 
the seat of vast and varied industrial 
enterprises. It has a population of 62,- 
000, and is situated on the left bank of 
the Delaware River at the head of steam- 
boat navigation. In addition to the 
handsome State Capitol it contains 
numerous imposing public and private 
buildings, tine hotels, churches and busi- 
ness edifices, while its residence thor- 
ouglifares display many beautiful archi- 
tectural effects, surrounded with amjile 
and tastefully laid-out grounds. The 
presence of large deposits of iron ore in 
the vicinity has made it an important 
iron manufacturing centre, while the 




Woodbourne and Glenlake, the stations 
ornate structures of red lirick and tile. 
The country hereabouts is famed alike 
for its picturesque beauty and its fertil- 
ity, and the traveler with artistic eye 
will catch glimpses of many a pretty bit 
ot scenery. At Langhorne, sixty-seven 
miles from New York and twenty-three 
from Philadelphia, the great suburban 
district of the latter city begins. Here 
is located the new and elegant Lang- 
horne Hotel, a favorite summer home of 
Ouaker City fashionables, and about it 
have sprung up numerous stately villas 
owned by wealthy and eminent Phila- 
delphians. At Parkland the sect of 
Spiritualists have established a very 
large camp-meeting ground, where, in 
long rows of little cottages strung out

beds of porcelain clay which underlie 
and surround it have rendered it famous 
as the chief seat of the pottery trade in 
America. 

Again starting westward from Tren- 
ton Junction, the Delaware River is 
crossed by means of a magnificent 
bridge which spans not only the river, 
but the entire wide valle}'. It is con- 
structed on massive granite piers, and is 
considered one of the triumphs of mod- 
ern engineering. The view from the 
bridge, in either direction, is indescrib- 
ably grand. Being now within the bor- 
ders of the Keystone State, the first sta- 
tion reached is Yardle}', a handsome lit- 
tle town on the west bank of the Dela- 
ware, pervaded by a general air of thrifts- 
activity. Succeeding it are Makefield, 



through ancient forest aisles, hundreds 
of persons spend the hot weather months 
in sylvan simplicity. 

Neshaminy Falls derives its name 
from the romantic Neshaminy Creek 
which, coming down through a broad 
and wooded gorge, falls over a dam just 
above the high railroad bridge, forming 
a pretty cascade. This is a favorite re- 
sort for large picnic parties from Phila- 
delphia. At Trevose is located Simp- 
son Grove where a great Methodist 
camp-meeting is annually held. Somer- 
ton is a handsome town of suburban 
homes which has recently taken on a 
new impetus of growth, and the favor- 
able conditions by which it is surrounded 
bid fair to make it one of the most pop- 
ulous on the line.

Philmont, Bethayres, Paul Brook, 
Rydal and Noble are typical Philadel- 
phia suburbs, and no city in the world 
is more favored in the advantages which 
it possesses in the way of accessible, 
healthful and beautiful suburbs. The 
country is high and rolling, and, look in 
what direction one may, the views en- 
countered are superb. 

Jenkintown is the junction point 
whence diverges the Reading Railroad's 
Bethlehem Branch, leading up through 
Northern Pennsylvania, the Lehigh, 
Wyoming and Susquehanna N'alleys, 
to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and also 
a branch road running into Third and 
Berk streets, Philadelphia, near the 
great textile, iron and ship works that 
abound in the northeastern section of 
the city. Jenkintown itself is a lovely 
suburban place, long fixed in the affec- 
tions of Philadelphians. Postmaster- 
General Wanamaker and other promi- 
nent gentlemen have country houses in 
this vicinity. 

Chelten Hills, Ogontz, Ashbourne, 
Melrose, Oak Lane, Lawnton, Fern 
Rock, Tabor and Logan form a chain 
of suburban settlements that are cer- 
tainly unsurpassed and probably un- 
equaled for natural beauty and artificial 
adornment. The thickly clustered hills 
are dotted far as eye can reach with the 
palatial out-of-town residences of mer- 
chant princes, and the less costly but 
equally tasteful cottages of those more 
modestly endowed in the matter of 
wealth. 

Wayne Junction is the focus and con- 
centrating point of the entire Reading 
System, and one of the most important 
junction points in America. From this 
busy spot radiate lines of railway toward 
every point of the compass, and the 
traveler, to whatever destination bound 
— be it among New England's rocky 
hills or the bleak fastnesses of Canada ; 
on the far shores of the Pacific or the 
sands of the southern Gulf — may find 
here a direct line. North of Wayne 
Junction are the beautiful regions of 
Germantown and Chestnut Hill, reached 
by one of the Reading's branches. 

Southward runs the direct line into 
Philadelphia. A station at Ninth Street 
and Columbia Avenue gives convenient 
access to the vast residence area in the 
northern part of the city, while the prin- 



cipal depot and terminus of the Reading 
Railroad is located, for the present, at 
Ninth and Green Streets, within a short 
distance of the public offices, hotels and 
business centers. An elevated railroad 
to carry this line to the geographical 
center of the city is now in course of 
construction. 

Starting again at W'ayne Junction, is 
the route taken by the trains of the New 
York and Wasliington Royal Blue Line. 
Just south of W^ayne Junction the train 
passes to the Richmond Branch of the 
Reading Railroad, whence it proceeds 
westwardl)-, flanked by enormous manu- 
facturing establishments, to the Falls of 
Schuylkill. Here the road is carried 
across the Schuylkill River on a magni- 
ficent double track bridge from which 
the traveler catches his first view of that 
romantically beautiful stream which has 
formed the theme of poetic song. 

At West Falls connection is made 
with the Reading Railroad's main line 
which stretches away to the northwest 
joo miles, into the great coal, iron and 
lumber regions of Pennsylvania, through 
mountain scenery of wonderful grandeur, 
with its innumerable branch roads and 
laterals literall}- grid-ironing the central 
portion of the State. And now the train 
is moving southward, along the river 
bank, and vistas of surpassing natural 
beauty follow one another in quick suc- 
cession. This is Fairmount Park, of 
world-wide fame. Passing the cele- 
brated glen and hill of Belmont, it 
swings across the Schuylkill and runs 
down through the eastern edge of the 
great Park to Girard Avenue Station, 
leaving which there is a plunge into a 
tunnel (where the cars are always lighted 
as at night) and, i.m emerging, a run of 
few minutes brings the train into the 
magnificent new passenger station of the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at Chest- 
nut and Twenty-fourth Streets, Phila- 
delphia. Leaving the city the route is 
over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, 
known to fame as the " B. & O." with 
the appropriate prefix of "picturesque" 
— this title was acquired before the com- 
pletion of the Philadelphia Division, but 
the acijuisition of that division only 
clinched the right to the title — and the 
ride between New York and Washing- 
ton is made attractive by new scenes 
wherein there's many a choice bit, as the

artists say. The traveler accustomed 
to the sameness of frequent journeys of 
the old days when the hours must be 
whiled away with magazines and papers, 
may, if he travels the new line, find 
much to interest if he will look through 
the car window. This interest com- 
mences when the train passes from the 
train shed of the great passenger station 
at 24th and Chestnut streets in Phila- 
delphia, and runs along the eastern 
shore of the Schuylkill in full view of 
the river and the shipping, and crosses 
the stream on a fine steel bridge — com- 
ing to the higher ground of Philadel- 
phia's suburbs, where the beautiful 
views that are so attractive in the ap- 
proach to the city from the north are re- 
peated on the south side. Between the 
hills are rushing streams, and on the 
hills with terraced grounds is many a 
villa and dainty cottage home, graveled 
roads and walks leading from tasty sta- 
tion buildings. Here are the homes of 
business men of Philadelphia, who find 
a convenient and rapid transit on the 
fast and frequent commuters' trains that 
start from 24th and Chestnut streets, 
near the city's centre. Beside these 
newly built houses of modern architec- 
ture there are still standing some relics 
of the old Colonial days in the solid 
stone houses that were farm-houses in 
those days ; and at one place where the 
road crosses an iron viaduct, there 
stands below the track a mill whose 
walls are built so solidly, as was the 
fashion in the -'times that tried men's 
souls," that it might have served as a 
fortress if there was need for the mill to 
stop its more peaceful duty of grinding 
corn, and turn out hot shot for a red- 
skin or a red-coat — I don't say that this 
is the history of the mill, but it might 
have been — anyhow, its old-fashioned 
walls of unhewn rock makes the centre- 
piece of a pretty landscape. The su- 
burban stations here are 60th street. 
Mount Moriah, 70th street, Darby, Llan- 
wellyn, Folsom and Ridley, scarcely a 
mile apart, all rendered pleasing and 
attractive by beds of choice plants and 
flowers and terraced yards. Farther on, 
and eleven miles from Philadelphia, is 
the city of Chester, which lies on the 
east side of the road on the banks of 
the Delaware, whose waters are seen 
across the valleys that gap the interven- 



ing hills, but with no disadvantage to 
the view, however, since a pleasing 
variety is thus given to a prospect that 
might otherwise grow to monotony. If 
an engineer ever ran his surveying 
chains with the idea in view of selecting 
a right of way, affording a continuous 
change of scene, he must have been in 
the employ of the B, & O., and his work 
here leaves pleasant memories to a 
grateful traveler. At Chester are the 
John Roach ship - yards, from whose 
ways have been launched some of the 
finest ships of the United States, as 
well as many in the mercantile navy. 

Following the western shore of the 
Delaware, the road comes to Wilming- 
ton, passing the stations of Upland, 
Village Green, Carpenter, Silver Side 
and Concord. 

The station at "W^ilmington is a 
model one, and a view of it has been 
selected as an illustration in the B. & O. 
guide books. As the trains approach 
Wilmington from the east they cross 
the "Brandy wine River," a stream rich 
in historic interest. Wilmington is a 
city of ancient renown, dating back to 
the earlier part of the country's history 
as one of great importance for its manu- 
factures in general, and in particular for 
its great ship-yards, from which have 
been launched every kind of craft from 
a man-of-war to a pleasure \'acht — ships 
and steamboats — the mammoth and 
magnificent "Puritan" and the "Pil- 
grim" own Wilmington as a birth-place, 
as does also the "Plymouth." These 
are fair examples of the skill of the 
artisans of Wilmington and their chief 
contribution to the American merchant 
marine, while they also claim some of 
the staunchest and fastest of the armored 
cruisers of the Navy of the United States. 
Leaving Wilmington, the line also leaves 
the Delaware, and crossing a narrow 
neck of land comes to the head-waters 
of Chesapeake Bay. As it will be re- 
membered, Concord was passed just 
before reaching Wilmington, and as we 
leave that city scarcel)' half a score of 
miles we come to Harmony, and it is 
easy to say there is no discord anywhere 
on the line. 

Newark, in the State of Delaware, is 
a town of some importance. The Dela- 
ware State College, the State Normal 
School and the Academy of Newark 



TJfE ROYAL BLUR LINE. 



are located here. Barksdale, Singerly, 
Childs, Leslie and Whitaker follow in 
their order. The stretches of water to 
the east seen from the windows of the 
cars are arms of Chesapeake Bay; they 
come into view at intervals for miles, 
showing the white sail here and there 
of a pleasure boat or a fishing smack. 
The grand view is at the crossing of the 
Susquehanna at Havre de Grace, a point 
long famous as one of the views of 
American travel, even before it could 
be enjoyed from a car window, and when 
the transfer was by boat. The bridge 
which now spans the river is a magnifi- 
cent structure of steel and iron, resting 
on piers of solid stone, and is one of the 
finest examples of modern bridge build- 
ding; the bridge is a long one, and there is 
time to enjoy the views on both sides; on 
the one the waters widen out into Chesa- 
peake Bay far to the eastward, and on 
the other the River Susquehanna comes 
down in a mighty volume, irrigating the 
fertile valley and merging itself here in 
the salty seas, having in the main done 
a duty but at times a Hood of mischief. 

On the hills to the east stands the 
village of Havre de Grace, where some 
old-time houses are in view. The region 
hereabout is famous in the markets of 
the great cities for its canvas-back duck 
and peaches, the way-back counties of 
Delaware and Maryland on both sides 
of the bay being the haunts of the one 
and the orchards of the other. 

After leaving the river the road runs 
through higher ground with an occas- 
sional glimpse of the bay on the east 
side, passing the finely located stations 
of Osborne, Aberdeen, Stepney, \'an 
Bibber, Clayton, Bradshaw, Morrison, 
Matthews. Rossville and Bay \'iew. 

At Baltimore, the first stop is at 
Mt. Royal Station, the most beautiful 
station owned and built bv any one rail- 
road in the world. From Mt. Royal the 
famous tunnel under the heart of Balti- 
more, through which trains are run by 
electricity, leads to Camden Station, the 
oldest railway station in the world and 
famous in history. 

Leaving the long train sheds of Cam- 
den it is a mile-a-minute ride oftener 
than a slower one hence to the Capital. 
The route for the first nine miles is that 
of the first passenger railroad of this 
country, and of the original B. & O. 



which ran from Baltimore to EUicott's 
Mills, also the route of the first tele- 
graph line in the world; apropos of the 
agitation now as to burying the wires, 
this first line was to be laid in lead pipe 
under ground. The curiously arranged 
plough that was to make the trench is 
still shown; the rocks and roots that im- 
peded the progress of the plough did 
not hinder the stringing of the wires on 
poles, and they have been there ever 
since. 

At Relay the route to Washington 
leaves the old line, and here at the sta- 
tion is one of the very choicest bits. 
The picturesquely built station of blue 
limestone stands in the Y of the two 
tracks in the midst of a pretty little 
park adorned with rare plants and 
flowers. A playing fountain and a 
monument are the ornaments of the 
grounds that are shaded by a hill covered 
with forest trees through which may be 
seen some summer homes of Baltimore 
people. From the west the Patapsco 
River rolls noisily over a rocky bed 
through what a Westerner would call a 
canon or a Mexican a barranca, a narrow 
\alley hedged in by high hills on whose 
sides a winding road reaches the country 
houses on the summits. The monu- 
ment in the park commemorates the 
completion of the \'iaduct at Relay, a 
splendid structure built in solid stone 
arches across the Patapsco. On the 
monument are inscribed the names of 
the projectors and builders of the Via- 
duct and the officials of the Company. 
Passing in either direction a look from 
the windows on the east side of the cars 
will afford a view of the \'iaduct, the 
station, park, montmient and fountain, 
a grouping which makes a picture both 
pleasing and beautiful 

There are stations and stations, of 
more or less attraction, but the fast 
trains have no time to stop; they hurry 
on, even past Annapolis Junction — 
where a branch line leads to the capital 
of Maryland and the seat of the United 
States Naval Academy — over a solid 
doulile-track roadway where the fastest 
time is possible, and in less time than it 
takes to write the story, the wheels roll 
rapidly into the station that is under 
the very shadow of the Dome of the 
Capitol at Washington. 

The ei]uipment embraces the latest

THE ROYAL BLUE L/XE. 



improvements of locomotive or coach, 
and the newest things on wheels that 
may induce comfort, safety or luxury, 
are in use. 

To write of the Pullman Palace Car 
for Americans to read is to tell an oft- 
told tale whose adjectives run altogether 
in the superlative degree, a story that is 
familiar in all its details of comfort, luxu- 
ry, and magnificence — these, as the 
Spanish say, "go without saying," when 
the Pullman Car is under discussion. 
But it may be said here that all that 
have proceeded from the model car 
shops of the world have examples in 
this equipment, and the very newest, 
the very latest features of use or orna- 
ment are on duty here, or hung up to 
decorate; the sleeping cars with beds of 
ease; parlor cars with chairs and sofas 
of a drawing room ; the dining car with 
the china of Dresden, and a larder 
stocked with the cream of the best 
markets in the world, manipulated by 
che/s of French tuition in the art in!i- 
naire; the buffet and cafe cars, with all 
these words imply, in eating or drink- 
ing, and the smoker with its easy 
chairs where one may loll and lose the 
present, and see in the blue curls of 
the smoke of a fragrant Havana visions 
of the future or call up the dreams of 
the past. All these roll on the wheels 
of the Royal Blue I^ine, vestibuled under 
one roof, and as the passenger agents 



say, "run solid and without change." 
The coaches, or as one would say, the 
"ordinary day coach," becomes here an 
extraordinary day coach in point of ■finish 
and appointment of convenience and 
comfort for the traveler whose purse or 
preference may exclude the more exclu- 
sive Pullman car. Well lighted and 
ventilated; comfortable seats, lavatory 
and toilet accommodations for ladies 
and for gentlemen, and every conveni- 
ence found anywhere on wheels, are in 
the day coaches of this line. In fact, 
whether in this car or that, the traveler 
lives in luxury as he rides right royally. 

An additional feature of paramount 
importance is the absolute safety of the 
Royal Blue Line trains. The cars are 
not only vestibuled but they are further 
protected by Pullman's Anti-Telescop- 
ing device, an invention that effectually 
prevents the crushing of the cars in case 
of collision. Furthermore, the cars are 
all lighted by Pintsch gas and heated by 
steam. 

The engines pulling these perfect 
trains have long been the models for 
fast goers. Of great power as well as 
capacity for speed, the percentage of 
arrivals on time is greater than the 
average; and it is a matter of record 
that these locomotives have made the 
figures smaller for the miles traveled, 
and established for the line the title of 
the Pioneer Fast Line.

BOBBIE 



"DOBBIE'S d(?but in railroad circles at 
Superior was marked by a rather 
peculiar circumstance. 

On June 3, 1893, a forlorn-looking 
fellow, having all of the outward ap- 
pearances of a typical tramp, made 
application for a position as switch- 
man. He was accompanied by a lanky, 
though wiry-looking little dog, with a 
stubby tail which would lead one to 
believe that it had been put through a 
threshing machine. 

"There are two of us." said the 
tramp, "and, if you give us emplo5'ment. 
I believe j'ou will have no reason to find 
fault with us." 

"Who is the other?" inquired the 
brawny-looking yardniaster. " Why 
didn't he come with you? 1 am in need 
of another man. Go get him." 

Then the applicant explained that 
Bobbie, his dog, could make himself 
generally useful about the yards, and he 
asked the privilege of keeping him in 
case he were given employment. 

"I want nothing to do with your 
dog," retorted the yardmaster, "but you 
can go to work if you care to. I will 
say, however, that you may have 3'our 
dog with you about the 3'ards at 'own- 
er's risk.'" 

Early the next morning the new 
switchman was on hand, and accom- 
panying him was the dog, a merry 
twinkle in his eye, as if he saw in his 
surroundings an opportunity to display 
some of his acquired skill. The new 
switchman took his position upon the 
tender of 26, an engine which was used 
almost exclusively for transferring cars 
to and from the coal docks, and to the 
big mills and elevators along the bay 
front. 

It was here that little Bobbie displayed 
his first cleverness. With panther-like 
swiftness he jumped up the side steps of 
the moving engine, and then into the 
cab where the engineer was seated. He 
then climbed upon the roof of an attached 
boxcar, and sat there until the car was 
properl}' side-tracked, when he bounded 
to the ground and went back into the 



engine cab to wait the coupling of an- 
other car. The men began to like the 
little fellow, but it was not until some 
weeks after, that they became thorough- 
ly convinced that they could depend 
upon Bobbie's signals as of those of a 
man. When Bobbie wanted the train 
stopped, he would run back and forth 
on the tracks in front of the moving 
engine, and would keep up his manoeu- 
vers until the engineer recognized him by 
a toot of the whistle. When on top of a 
box-car he would signal a train to stop 
by moving his paw up and down; a 
shake of his head was understood by 
the engineer to be a signal to go ahead. 

He was particularly useful at night, 
for the reason that he could stand upon 
the top of a box-car next to the engine, 
where he would duplicate the signals of 
the brakemen at the farthest end of the 
train. He was never known to make a 
mistake, and was never known to meet 
with an accident except the one which 
proved fatal. Bobbie knew the dif- 
ference between the engines in the 
yards, and it was wonderful how he 
could signal down the right one, when 
the yardmaster would dispatch him to 
certain parts of the j'ards with messages 
for the engineers. He was greatly 
attached to all of the engines and 
their crews, but was particularly so to 
"old 26," the one upon which he com- 
menced his services. 

Bobbie was only an ordinary mongrel 
dog, but there never was, and there 
probably never will be, a dog that will 
have a better knowledge of railroading 
than he. For four years he had been 
in the employ of this northern road, not 
as a watchdog but as a switchman, and 
for faithfulness they never saw his equal. 
He could jump the footboard of the 
moving engine with ease, climb the 
steps of the caboose, and run upon the 
top of the box-cars with rapidity. He 
had been taught to signal the train, 
swing the lantern in his mouth at night, 
and was particularly useful in carrying 
switch lists from the depot to the train- 
men at the most remote ends of the 



BOBBIE. 



25 



yard. He could do, in fact, almost 
anything that vvas required of a brake- 
man with the exception of tightening 
brakes, coupling cars, and climbing the 
ladders on the box-cars. 



"Bobbie"' again rides close to the 
pilot of "old 26," but he does not jump 
off and on. the way he used to. The 
dog and the engine were regarded as 
inseparable by the train-crew until about 
two months ago, when the frivolous 
little canine slippeci beneath the wheels 
of his heartless comrade and was cut 
to pieces. 

The untimely death of the little 
scamp was a source of regret among the 
employees generally about the 3'arcis, 
and even by the trainmen along the 
northern division of the road, nearly all 
of whom had known him during the 
years that he had been a railroader. On 
the day of his mishap a number of the 
boys got together and passed a resolu- 
tion to the effect that, if it were possible, 
the animal should be stuffed. Accord- 
ingly a subscription was started among 
the employees, office force included, and 
in less than three days nearly every train- 
man had "chipped in." The mangled 
bod}' of Bobbie was then shipped east. 
Four days later, the foreman in charge 
of the crews, received a telegram that 
the body of the dog was so badly lacer- 
ated that it would be a difficult job to 
stuff the animal, and that the expense 
woidd be more than the trainmen would 
want to pay. 



"We don't care if it cost $1,000,'' 
remarked one of the brakemen. "We 
are going to have Bobliie stuffeil and 
placed behind the pilot of the engine, 
just where he used to sit.'' 

Nearly every member of the crew 
agreed, and a telegram was immediately 
sent, instructing tlie taxidermist to spare 
neither pains nor expense in preparing 
the hide. A second assessment upon 
the boys brought the amount up to >3ui, 
which sum was expended upon the work. 
Bobbie was sent back, looking almost 
as bright and cunning as ever, when the 
boys immediately placed him upon the 
front of the engine just behind the jiilot. 
The employees in the Northwestern 
yard had also known Bobbie for a num- 
ber of years, and one of them suggested 
that a collar should be bought for him. 
Another collection was taken up, and a 
gold collar was purchased immediately. 

Then there came an order from the 
shops at Brainerd, demanding the old 
engine be taken out of service at Supe- 
rior, as it was greatly in need of repairs 
and not fit to work longer. A general 
protest Went up all along the line. A pe- 
tition to the division superintendent was 
started, and in two days the entire force 
signed, asking the superintendent to 
leave the old engine at Superior, or if it 
must l:)e repaireci, to return it as soon as 
the work had lieen properly executed. 
The engine was sent to the shops for 
repairs and during the interval Bobbie 
occupied a corner on a desk in the 
freight department.

FINNIGIN, FLANNIGAN. ET AL. 



THE story of Finnigin's report to 
Flannigan isn't a new thing, but it's 
a good thing and worthy of being pushed 
along. Every time it is published it 
is read with renewed interest and the 
"bilin' down" of Finnigin's "repoort"' 
has become notorious. To help it along 
we reprint it as follows: 

"FINNIGIN AND FLANNIGAN." 

Superintindint wuz Flannigan; 

Boss of the siction was Finnigin. 
Whiniver the kyars got offen the thrack 
An' muddled up things t' th' divil an' 
back, 
Finnigin writ it to Flannigan, 

Afther the wrick wuz all on agin. 
That is, this Finnigin 

Repoorted to Flannigan. 
When Finnigin furst writ to Flannigan, 

He writed tin pages — did Finnigin; 
An' he tould jist how the smash 
occured — 
Full minny a tajus, blundering wuurd 
Did Finnigin write to Flannigan, 

Afther the cars had gone on agin. 
That wuz how Finnigin 

Repoorted to Flannigan. 
Now Flannigan knowed more than 
Finnigin, 
Hid more idjucation — had Flannigan; 
An' it wore 'm clane an' complately out 

To tell what Finnigin writ about 
In his writin' to Mister Flannigan; 

So he writed back to Finnigin: 
"Don't do sich a sin agin, 

Make 'em brief, Finnigin." 
Whin Finnigin got this from Flannigan 

He blushed rosy rid — did Finnigin; 
An' he said: "I'll gamble a whoje 
moonth's pa-ay 
That it will be minny an' minny a 
da-ay 
Befoore Sup'rintindint — that's 
Flannigan — 
Gits a whack at this very same sin 
agin. 
From Finnigin to Flannigan 

Repoorts won't be long agin." 
Wan da-ay on the siction of Finnigin, 
On the road sup'rintinded by 
Flannigan, 
A rail give way on a bit av a curve. 
An' some kyars went off as they made 
the swerve: 
"There's nobody hurted," sez Finnigin; 
But repoorts must be made to 
Flannigan. '' 



An' he winked at McGorrigan, 

As married a Finnigin. 
He wuz shantyin' thin — wuz Finnigin, 

As minny a railroader's been agin; 
An' the shmoky ol' lamp wuz burnin' 
bright 
In Finnigin's shanty all that night — 
Bilin' down his repoort, wuz Finnigin; 
An' he writed this here: "Mister 
Flannigan: 
Off agin, on agin, 

Gone agin. — Finnigin." 
A printing house at Christmas time 
sent out this little sketch as a Christmas 
card, with illustrations, and made quite 
a hit. A friend of Finnigin's wrote the 
publisher for a copy and received the 
following reply : 
My Dear Sir : — 

Y'es axed me fur marc Finnigin ! 
'Nd I take me pin in hand agin 
To tell ye' be'dad tha're all gone agin! 
'Cept thaz wans ye foind widin. 
But we'll put t' toype on agin 
And ez soon ez print'd off agin 
We'll send ye hot/i 

Finnigin an' Flannigan '. 

Trooly Y'rs, "F. C. N." 
Nayther 
Finnigin 
Nor 

Flannigan ! 
The doughty Celt, on receiving this 
letter, recognizing at once one of the 
same cloth, for the letter itself was writ- 
ten on green paper, replied as follows : 
Me dear Misther " F. C. N." 
The litter ye sint me jist kem in; 
So it's in me hand I ta-ake me pin, 
To till ye, furst thing I begin. 
That tho' ye be not Finnigin, 
Nathur Misther Flannigan, 
It's wan av Nature's Noblemin 
Ye are be'dad, an' a gintlemon. 
Now, whin ye gwan the kyars agin 
An' come this wa-ay a thravelin, 
At Baltimoore git off agin — 
Ye'll aisy foind this big bildin 
An' the offis forninst — walk sthraight in ; 
Be gorra I'd like to shake yer fin. 
An' take ve out and fill yer tin. 
So whin ye do go on agin 
Yell wish that ye wuz off agin; 
An' naythur know nor care a pin 
What ye did, nor where ye've bin, 
Or whether yer name is "F. C. N." 
Finnigin or Flannigan. 

Yours truly, O'Houlicvn. 



INTHRKSTIXG RAILROAD STATISTICS. 



THE ninth statistical report of the 
Inter-State Commerce Commission 
for the year ending June 30, 1896, gives 
interesting information concerning the 
mileage, equipment, numL)er of em- 
plo\es. capitalization and valuation, 
accidents and earnings and expenses of 
railways in the Uniteti States for the 
3'ear named. One hundred and filtv-one 
roads, representing 30.475 miles of ope- 
rated mileage, were in the hands of re- 
ceivers on June 30, 1896, a decrease of 
eighteen from the previous year. The 
capital stock represented by the railways 
controlled by receivers was $742,597,698, 
and the funded debt was $999,733,766. 
The total railway mileage on June 30, 
1896. was 182,776, an increase of 2,119 
for the year, Georgia showing the larg- 
est increase, viz., 2;i,2i mili^s. The num- 
ber of locomotives in service was 35.950, 
and of cars of all classes 1,297,649, an 
increase of 251 locomotives and 27,088 
cars. Of the total cars and locomotives, 
448,854 were fitted with train brakes, 
and 545,583 with automatic couplers. 
The number of freight locomotives fitted 
with automatic couplers was 3,373 out 
of a total of 20, 351, and the cars in freight 
service fitted with train brakes was 
379,058 out of a total of 1,221.887. An 
interesting feature of the report is a sum- 



mary showing the amount of compensa- 
tion paid to the railway employes of the 
United States who aggregated 826,820. 
Their aggregate compensation amount- 
ed to over 60 per cent of the total ope- 
rating expenses of all railways, a slight 
decrease from the preceding year. 

Gross earnings amounted to $1,150,- 
169.376, an increase of nearly $75,000,- 
000. resulting in a net income of over 
$33,000,000 larger than the previous 
year. Nearly 1,900 employes were 
killed, and almost 30,000 injured during 
the year — increase of fifty in those killed 
and over 4,000 in the number injured. 
One hundred and eighty-one passengers 
were killed, and nearly 3.000 injured. 
The numl>er of persons — other than em- 
plo\'es and passengers — killed was 4,- 
406, and those injured 5,845. These 
figures include casualties to persons 
reported as trespassers For every 444 
men employed on railways, one was 
killed; and lor every twenty-eight men 
employed, one was injured. One train- 
man was killed for each 152 trainmen 
employed, and one trainman was injured 
for each ten men employed. The num- 
ber of passengers carried for one pas- 
senger killed was 2,827,474, and the 
number of passengers carried for one 
passenger injured was 178,132. 



IMPROVEMENTS ON THE B. c^ O. 



AMONG the many improvements 
along the line of the Baltimore & 
Ohio Railroad which have been inaugu- 
rated by the new management, one of 
the most notable is the new Terminal 
Warehouse at Henderson's Wharf, foot 
of Fell Street, Baltimore, Md. This 
immense structure, 283 feet long, 204 
feet and 6 stories high, was erected at a 
cost of $150,000.00. The building was 
originally intended for the storage of 
tobacco exclusively. An idea of its size 
may be drawn from the fact that it can 
contain the entire early crop of Mary- 
land tobacco. Besides making provis- 
ions for the storage of this tobacco, the 
company has set aside ample space for 
the accommodation of canned goods 
and other freight usually stored in ter- 
minal warehouses. The work of placing 
the cars in front of the warehouse is 
done by an electric motor built for this 
especial work, besides which the eleva- 
tion of the freight is done exclusively 



by electric elevators, thereby cheapening 
the cost of handling to such an extent 
that the warehoue is enabled to present 
the very lowest rates of storage; and, in 
view of its fire-proof construction, the 
rates of insurance placed on articles 
stored therein, are very low. There 
have also been provided ample dock 
facilities for the quick discharge directly 
into the warehouse of cargoes from 
steamers and sailing vessels which may 
land with a cargo for store. The splen- 
did facilities of the Baltimore & Ohio 
Railroad for reaching all points north, 
east, south and west by its fast 
freight trains make this warehouse a 
particularly desirable one for Baltimore. 
The management of the Baltimore & 
Ohio Railroad extends a cordial invita- 
tion to all seeking storage facilities in 
Baltimore, to inspect this liuilding be- 
fore deciding on a place for the safe 
keeping of their goods.

Ill by A. W Khvt\ \ l 



ashington: 

At the mention 
ofthenanie tliere 
rises before us 
aportrait stamp- 
ed indelilily on 
the mind of 
ever\' American 
citizen, the first 
impression of 
which was made 
in early child- 
hood. 

What child 
of American 
parents to-day 
that is old enough to understand, 
does not recognize the portrait which 
introduces this article? Is there a man 
who calls himself an American citizen 
who does not feel a thrill of pride when 
he gazes upon this portrait that has 
adorned every freedman's home in 
America ? 

To Washington has been built a 
monument towards which the eyes of 
every nation on the globe look with won- 
derment. 

The beautiful city which bears his 
name and perpetuates the principles 
laid down by this greatest of rulers, has 
been the cynosure of the eyes of empires 
for more than one hundred years. In 
it there are no palaces built by indi- 
viduals who have drawn their wealth 
from the taxes imposed upon fellow 
beings for their own aggrandizement, 
but instead, there are palaces of a nation 
built by freedmen, which are used not 
for residences, but for the business of a 



Republican (jovernment and a Demo- 
cratic people. 

The average American, as he picks 
up his morning paper, scans the col- 
umns on the first page and quickly reads 
the news of the nation. He may or 
ma}' not have time to peruse the details 
of the daily happenings at Congress, 
but he is privileged to read the head 
lines which skilled modern journalism 
so manijiulates as to boil down the con- 
tents of a dispatch and tell the news in 
fewest possible words. If he is inter- 
ested in Cuba he will find news which 
may either satisfy or displease him, 
according to his enlightenment on the 
subject ; and as he is an American 
citizen he has a right to his own views. 
The question of annexation of Hawaii 
may be his hobby ; or perhaps he may 
be interested in the monetary system of 
the United States government. He 
may have his own ideas as to whether 
silver or gold is the better standard, or 
he may be interested in the next move- 
ment of government towards building 
war ships, since this theme has become 
one of gravest consideration. His 
attention mav be directed to the pension 
bills, post-office improvement bill, agri- 
cultural bills, or any of the endless 
chain of bills which have been drafted 
and have come before Congress in either 
of its bodies or awaiting their turn 
to be thoroughly digested into laws. 

All of these things happen at Wash- 
in.gton, and while the busy law makers 
are absorbed in their daily task of forming 
a government for a seventy-two millions 
of fieople, these people ac(|uiesce or 



WASHINGTON. 



give their dissent to the conclusion 
arrived at with the haughty demeanor 
of kings. But regardless of opinions 
there arises in the hearts of this great 
people a pride in their national capitol 
and in the emissaries which have been 
sent from the many Congressional dis- 
tricts. This is the greatest pride en- 
joyed by any country. 

To think of Washington City is to 
bring to mind at once the great capitol 
building with its majestic and symmetri- 



portant than the nation's law makers. 
This grand organization is known 
to the world as the National Educational 
Association. They are the teachers 
who have the first care and government 
of the minds of coming generations; 
they are the ones who have assumed the 
greatest responsibility of a human life. 
It depends upon their knowledge and 
good judgment and to their powers of 
transmission whether future law makers, 
who may enter the portals of the 




THK CAl'l [OL (Kasi 1u...\i,i. 



cal dome towering high into the sky. 
This great white building, with its Grec- 
ian colonnades, inspires a man with dig- 
nity and respect, for whatever his politi- 
cal opinions are he is bound as a citizen 
to abide by the laws which have been 
made therein. 

In July, 1898, there will gather in 
this city a body of men and women 
whose business in life is far more im- 



nation's forum will be wise or foolish. 

That Washington should be selected 
as a place of gathering for the teachers of 
this nation is a matter of profound signifi- 
cance. The minds which feed other 
minds must naturally be fed, and the law 
of supjil)' and dem and is forever enacted. 

Washington is a source of everlast- 
ing knowledge and information and is 
a teacher of teachers. It furnishes

embr5'onic material for years to come. 
The teacher who has studied Wash- 
ington and in after times will impart to 
the pupils in the scliool room the knowl- 
edge obtained, is well in position to sow 
the seeds of progressive manhood or 
womanhood. When a child commences 
its studies it begins with the alphaliet 
and its mind is prepared for what is to 
come thereafter ; when a person decides 
upon a journey the fundamental princi- 
ple is his destination, and instantly there 



To introduce Washington as a city, 
an interesting bit of history might be 
repeated. On September 5, 1774, the 
Continental Congress held its session in 
Philadelphia. In those trying times no 
definite meeting place for the represent- 
atives from the thirteen Colonies had 
been decided upon on account of the 
formidable position of the British Army 
all along the line of the Eastern Shore 
from Massachusetts to the Carolinas. 
Congress moved from Philadelphia to

arises in his mind visions of his arrival 
at the aforesaid destination, and it is to 
this end that a description of Washing- 
ton is deemed necessary. 

It is conceded that a '-visit' is 
bounded chronologically by a time of 
arrival and a time of departure. Cir- 
cumstances in all cases are not alike 
and the proper description of Washing- 
ton in this instance will enable the visi- 
tors to make tlie most profitable use of 
their time. 



Baltimore, thence back to Philadelphia, 
and then in turn to Princeton, N. J., 
Annapolis, Md., Trenton. N. J., and 
then to New York, where it continued 
its place of meeting until the adoption 
of the Constitution of the United States, 
in 1 778. Then came a tight for permanent 
possession of Congress by the cities and 
each State wanted the honor. New York, 
Philadelphia and Baltimore were the 
cities who had the greatest claims, but an 
amicable settlement of this pleasant

rivalry was made when the Government 
decided to buy a tract of land on 
the Potomac River and there establisli 
the National Capital. This territory 
was called the District of Columbia and 
was to be under direct Government con- 
trol independent of all States. 

At this time the duty of laying out 
the new city was intrusted to Major 
Pierre C. L'Enfant, a French oflicer 
who had served in the American Army.

building, which rises in inspiring state- 
liness but one block away. The present 
structure was rebuilt in 1S40, the old 
Capitol being inadequate to hold the 
representatives from rapidly increasing 
States. At this time it was supposed 
the natural growth of the city would be 
eastward, and consequently the most

town grew to the northwest ; and were 
it not for the new Congressional Li-

to all of the public buildings. 

Probably the grandest view of the 
Capitol is obtained from the Peace Mon- 
ument, at the west entrance to the 
grounds. As the visitor's time is gener- 
ally limited, the most economical meth- 
od of seeing the interior projierly is to

at a nominal fee. By so doing, all the 
valuable points of interest will be shown 
and the visitor will go away with great- 
er satisfaction, as these experienced 
guides know every nook and crevice of 
the great building. 

The Congressional Library is imme- 
diately across the street, to the east of 
the south wing of the Capitol. This is 
conceded to be the most magnificent 
building of its kind in the world and has

crestmg of the dome above the lantern 
terminates in a gilded finial, represent- 
ing the Torch of Science. The decora- 
tions, exterior and interior, are so elab- 
orate as to require description in another 
article. Suffice it to say, that of all the 
buildings in Washington, this one alone 
appeals stronger to the Educational As- 
sociation than all the rest. An official 
guide book is sold on the premises.

has become so great that tourists with 
limited time proceed first to the Capitol

Some idea of the magnificence of 
this building may be conveyed to the

grounds and construction was ?6,6oo,-

year from plans made by the original 
architect. The East Room, which is 
the famous State parlor, is open to visi- 
tors from ten to two, daily except Sun- 
days and holidays. It is in tliis room 
that the famous full length portraits

of Washington, Martha Washington, 
Jefferson and Lincoln are hung. 

In architectural importance, the 
Treasury Building comes next. The im- 
posing colonnade of Doric columns 
along its east front is copied from the 
Temple of Minerva, at Athens. The 
tour of this building may be made only 
between the hours of eleven and twelve 
and one and two. This is the bank of 
the Nation. The Bureau of Engraving 
and Printing is a branch of the Treas- 



original Declaration of Independence, 
together with many personal relics of 
George Washington are among the 
treasures of this Department. The 
original copy of the Declaration, it will 
be remembered, may not be seen, and 
it is preserved in an indestructible steel 
safe. An exact fac-simile is on exhibi- 
tion instead. 

The Patent Office is a museum in it- 
self, containing models of all machines, 
implements and appliances of every de- 




ury, but requires an immense building 
of its own, as shown in the illustration. 
To study the making of money properly 
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing 
should be visited first. 

The great granite structure of the 
State, War and Navj' Departments is 
said to be the largest office building in 
the world. In it are the offices of the 
Secretary of War and Secretary of the 
Navy and the innumerable offices con- 
nected with their Departments. The

can skill and inventive genius. 

The Smithsonian Institution and 
National Museum commands more time 
for research and study than any of the 
other public buildings. It is the great- 
est "object lesson" in existence and 
treats of every condition under the sun. 
Millions of objects are within the walls, 
and the mind is incapable of grasping 
all within reach. 

The Pension Building is an office

The New Corcoran Art Gallery de-

The visitor in Washington must be 
strong physically to see all the city af- 
fords. With the principal points of in- 
terest mentioned, there are to be seen 
Washington Monument, Post Office De-

U. S. Coast Survey, Army Medical Mu- 
seum, Navy Yard, Soldiers' Home, Na-

and numerous other attractions of more 
than usual interest. 

Above all things a pilgrimage to Mt.

a delightful trip of but a few hours and 
is ever a pileasant memory as an homage 
to the Father of the greatest Nation on

drawing near to that noble monument

the National Library. 

This grandest and most complete of

modern "Dispensary of the Soul," came 



General Casey, who had been in 
charge of the construction of the State,

important pieces of Government con-

of April 15, 1886 and October 2, 1888. 
The latter act placed the work under 
the exclusive control and management 
of the Chief of Engineers of the Army, 
Brig. -General Thomas Lincoln Casey 
and appropriated $4,000,000 to be used 
in the construction of the building. By 
the act approved March 2, 1889, new 
and enlarged plans were adopted and 
the cost of the building fixed at $6,245,- 
567.94, the limit of time under construc- 
tion was placed by Congress at eight 
years.

completion. 

A sad stroke of fate, the death of 
General Casey in March, '96, transferred 
the responsible duties of the construc- 
tion of the building to Mr. Bernard R. 
Green, C. E., who had been identified 
with the building from its inception as 
superintendent and engineer of construc- 
tion. 

To this gentleman's credit be it said 
tliat not only was the structure in all of

his wondering eye about for details, the 
fountain by Mr. Hinton Perry, just in

three hundred and forty feet. 

The general plan, as shown in the 
sketch, is in form of a large rectangle,

To construct it was required 409,000 
cubic feet of granite, 500,000 enameled

are a trifle higher than the rest of the

An example of the unique in archi-

ethnological heads. There are thirty- 
three of these heads, each about eigh- 
teen inches in height, modeled bj'

In height the building is seventy-

feet; first story, twenty-one feet, and 
second story twenty-nine feet, the bal- 
ance of eight feet being in base of build- 
ing and in the balustrade surmount- 
ing it. 

As a relief to possible monotony the

All of these heads are chiseled after

difficult by reason of the use of a coarse-

construction being of the same material. 

As a relief to the eye tlie second 
story windows are finished with a balus- 
trade, and have pediments alternately 
rounded and triangular. 

A decided feature of the second story 
front is a portico with twin columns, 
which are of single shafts of stone, 
capped with exquisitely carved Co- 
rinthian capitals. 

Onto this portico open seven large 
windows, over each of whicli is a circu- 
lar window. These round windows 
frame very effectively granite busts of 
men famous in the world's great litera- 
tures. 

The spandiel effects of the entrance 
porch by Mr. B. L. Pratt are in keeping 
with the very artistic bronze doors, and 
are arranged in three groups represent- 
ing Literature, Art and Science. 

Famous throughout the land are the 
bronze doors by Randolph Rogers at 
the Capitol, and equally known through- 
out the world should be the beautiful 
conceptions in l^ronze of Messrs. Warner 
& Macmonnies closing the portals of this 
palatial home of literature and fine arts. 

The central door is Macmonnies', and 
symbolizes "The Art of Printing, "with 
the tympanum picturing '• Minerva Dif- 



fusing the Products of Typographical 
Art." 

To the left is the equally famous 
bronze door by Mr. Warner, typifying 
'•Tradition, ' and to the right a door 
begun by the same artist but finished by 
Mr. Herbert Adams, representing 
"Writing." 

This series of pictorial doors, so full 
of beautiful detail and standing for 
Tradition, Writing and Printing are 
commemorative of the meansof transmis- 
sion of thought as embodied in the 
science, the architecture and the arts of 
the whole human family. 

Entranced, I stood at the entrance of 
this great building and forming, from 
the beauty of exterior, an idea of 
the interior, passed into the Grand En- 
trance Hall. With a sensation of awe, 
closely akin to the feeling I experienced 
in first viewing Niagara and the Natural 
Bridge of Virginia, my eye glanced from 
one beautiful object to another ; from 
brilliant mosaics to sculptured shapes 
of surpassing grace ; to paintings, not of 
old masters, but of that strong, vigor- 
ous, healthful American school that 
slowly but surely is forging to the front, 
thinking erstwhile that truly " a thing 
of beauty is a joy forever."

THE MOST INSTRUCTIVE ROUTE TO WASHINGTON. 



' I 'HE most instructive, historical and 
-*■ scenic route to Washington is the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. This is an 
important feature to teachers and their 
friends who contemplate attending the 
meeting of the National Educational 
Association, in July. It is a matter of 
great importance that the time going 
and returning should be utilized to best 



inally laid out over a hundred years ago. 
It is over the route which Washington 
took to Western Pennsylvania in the 
early days of the French and Indian war. 
For more than one hundred and fifty 
miles out of Washington the Baltimore 
& Ohio Railroad follows the historic 
Potomac River, through beautiful val- 
leys, rich in the lore of love and war.

advantage, and the superiority of this 
line from both East and West to Wash- 
ington is indisputed. 

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is 
the oldest railroad in America and the 
first to cross the country from the At- 
lantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. 
Its path through the Allegheny Moun- 
tains is through the most picturesque 
region of the East, and the scenerj' un- 
equaled by any other line. Its double 
track traverses the National Road, orig-

At Harper's Ferry, where the Shenan- 
doah River cuts its way through the 
grand mountain walls of \'irginia and 
West \'irginia to meet the Potomac, the 
scenery is unexcelled by anything in the 
Alps of Switzerland. 

The view up the Shenandoah from 
Jefferson's Rock, on Bolivar Heights, is 
an inspiration of nature. Close by the 
station and within a few feet of the track 
stands the monument to the illustrious 
John Brown, alongside of which are the

the rebellion at that point. 

Between Harper's Ferry and Cum-

and the towns of Shenandoah Junction, 
Kearnej'sville, Martinsburg and Sir 
John's Run are recalled instantly with 
some connection, either with Revolu- 
tionary times or with the late war. 

Between Cumberland and Pittsburg, 
on the Chicago line, is the territory of the 
French and Indian struggles. The

famous mountain resorts of Deer Park, 
Oakland and Mountain Lake Park, and 
the highest elevation is reached. The 
Cheat Ri\er valley furnishes the wildest 
scenery of the Allegheny Mountains; 
and the words of the famous historian, 
Bancroft, at a dinner at the Burnet 
House, at Cincinnati, in 1S57, are ap- 
plicable to-day :

A STORY OF THE POTUMAC. 



1!Y W. J. LAMPlllN. 



A LTHOUGH thousands of persons 
-'•^ have clambered up the rocky ribs 
of that wide spreading mountain side 
lying to the east of Harper's Ferry and 
known as Maryland Heights, from whose 
summit, in the dark days of the rebellion, 
shells went screaming after the lives of 
men. perhaps the very fewest number 
have ever noticed a small square wall 
of stone set against the hill as if some 
boys had built a fort there to play soldier 
in. It is on a little level spot so sur- 
rounded and piled in with loose stones 
that only the closest observer would 
pick it out, and even he would pass it 
by as of no moment. It is on that part 
of the mountain lying above Sandy 
Hook, the small station on the line of 
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad just east 
of the curve where, until the new tunnel 
pierced the mountain, the road swung 
round the point and leaped the Potomac 
across the Harper's Ferry bridge, and if 
one will take the trouble to peer through 
the trees he can see the river below and 
a portion of the little town. 

On this foundation forty years ago 
stood a house, and on this foundation 
stands the story told in this chronicle 
and taken from an old manuscript I dis- 
covered this past summer while looking 
over some papers containing historical 
matter relating to Harper's Ferry and 
vicinity. 

I shall not attempt to put into my 



own language the story I found in the 
manuscript, wliich by the way bore no 
signature, but shall give it as I found it, 
cutting it where necessary to bring it 
witliin the bounds of a magazine space. 
"The purple shades of the evening 
were falling o'er restful mountain and 
restless river when the railroad cars 
coming from Baltimore to Harper's 
Ferry waked the echoes of the Potomac 
Valley and frightened the birds that 
were wlieeling high in the heavens and 
sighting along the mountains for their 
roosting places for the night. From the 
chimnejs in the little hamlet, ensconced 
at the foot of the great green mountain, 
the smoke curled up in blue spirals to a 
sky as blue, and there was the fragrance 
rising on the twilight air of cooking sup- 
pers. The romance and the sentiment 
of the evening is always food for the 
poet or the painter, but to every lover 
of domestic charm, the fragrance of 
cooking suppers has a delight at twi- 
light that the sweetest poesy can never 
hope to equal, nor can any painting 
quite so nearly satisfy the human long- 
ing as a Maryland fried chicken, l)rown 
and piping hot on the supper table 
waiting for the consummation of its 
sacrifice. 

At the gate of the prettiest cottage in 
the cluster of humble homes under the 
mountain side stood at this witching

A STORY OF THE POTOMAC. 



hour of the meeting of the da\- and tlie 
night, a pretty maiden of twenty, at- 
tired in a sweet cool gown of pink ging- 
ham, looking the verj' picture that she 
was. This fair creature was Betty Nor- 
ris, known all up and down the Poto- 
mac as the prettiest girl of the region, 
and until a few months before, the one 
girl of them all who had never shown a 
preference for any of the young men of 
either Virginia or Maryland, though 
there were many who paid her court, 
from both states. Indeed, it was a joke, 
current for several years that Betty's 
father, who had attempted to have a 
ferry established at this point, was 
anxious for it only to get the tolls from 
the army of young Virginia farmers who 
came to his house on Sundays and all 
the days of the week. Truly this was 
but joking, for Betty's father was an 
aristocrat and would have scorned the 
position of ferryman. He had a very 
small income which he and his daughter 
lived upon, added to, somewhat, by the 
receipts from a Winter school the old 
gentleman taught for three months each 
year. It was his desire that his daugh- 
ter should wed, but his ambitions were 
high and he flew into a rage at the very 
mention of her marrying any of the 
young men of the neighborhood who 
came to pay their addresses. 

It was to Washington or Baltimore 
the old man looked whence the Prince 
should come for the Princess Betty and 
as he grew older and she dawned into 
a beautiful womanhood, so like her 
mother, who was one of the belles of 
aristocratic Frederick, it became a pas- 
sion and a monomania with him. 

;}: ^i: :?: >fc ^-. ^: 

Then came Robert Patterson, an 
engineer on the railroad, the new medi- 
um of communication between the rising 
and the setting sun, the conqueror of 
mountains antl of distance, the iron 
horse that would run its speedy course 
from ocean to ocean. 

This young man was a New Eng- 
lander and of good parentage and well 
educated, but he was not to the manner 
born, and he had no sooner enrolled 
himself among Betty's admirers than 
her father was moved by a violent dis- 
like, curbed of course in the beginning, 
but none the less liable to grow. As 
for the daughter of the old aristocrat. 



being a woman, she did as women have 
always done and will always do, to wit, 
as she pleased, albeit it was not pleasing 
to those who felt that they had her likes 
and dislikes under their control and di- 
rection. It has ever been thus, and our 
heroine's case was not greatly different 
from many of her predecessors along 
the course of true love. 

What it was in Robert Patterson's 
character or personality that won Betty 
N orris, no one may say, for no one 
could know, even her own fair self, and 
certainly not he. Suffice it that ere she 
had seen him thrice, she knew there was 
none other in the world for her. As for 
Robert, he too for the first time felt the 
pangs of love, and there was no hour 
when he could get away from his duties 
that was not most willingly devoted to 
Betty Norris. The lovers soon saw 
that Betty's father's temper was opposed 
to the suit of Robert, and they, to save 
the old gentleman needless worriment, 
made it convenient to see each other 
away from the Norris cottage. The 
father knew of the attachment growing 
stronger every day between this hated 
"northern mudsill mechanic" and his 
daughter and the friends of the two 
cautioned them not to go to extremes, 
for Mr. Norris' mind was becoming 
seriously affected, and it was feared that 
if Betty and Patterson eloped or were 
married in defiance of the father's wishes 
that it would unsettle his reason forever. 

On this account, therefore, they were 
mutually agreed to bide their time and 
trust their fate to the decrees of an all 
wise Providence, sure that for such de- 
voted love as theirs, not only for each 
other, but for the sacrifice they were 
making for the sake of the poor old 
father with his reason tottering on its 
throne, there must be a rich reward. 
But how little do we know of the ways 
of a mysterious Creator who doeth all 
things for the best, however inscrutable 
they must seem to His creatures. 

One night, Betty had been present 
at a religious exercise at the village 
church, and Robert had come in as late 
as nine o'clock to escort her home, after 
the meeting had let out at ten, they be- 
lieving that by that hour Betty's father 
would have retired and would be none 
the wiser for Robert's attention to Betty. 
But they were destined to be grievously

mistaken, for just as Rubert had put his 
arm around Betty's waist to kiss her 
good night after a whispered talk on the 
little porch of half an hour, the door 
suddenly opened and the old man burst 
out upon them in a frightful rage. So 
violent indeed, was he in his language, 
that Robert insisted upon Betty's going 
into the house for a time and leaving 
her father to him to be (]uieted. 

"So you mudsill scoundrel," hissed 
the old man, "you come sneaking into 
my house at night to steal my daughter, 
do you? Thief, liar, hound, Yankee," 
and the old man made as if he would 
strike Betty's lover, but he did not. 

•'You are her father, Mr. Norris," 
Robert Patterson replied as (juietly as 
he could, "and for her sake, I shall not 
resent anything you may say to nie. But 
I want )'ou to understand, sir, that she 
loves me as I love her and that we have 
sworn before heaven and earth to be 
man and wife. You are her father and 
you may command her, but you have 
nothing to do with me, and when she is 
of age, within a year or less from this 
time, then we are to become one flesh as 
we are now one spirit. God has decreed 
it and man can not oppose the decrees 
of high heaven." 

"Coward, sneak, liar, dog, coward, 
coward, coward,'' hoarsely whispered the 
father shaking his shrunken and trem- 
bling fist in the young man's face, "we 
shall see what a father can dn.' 

Then suddenly becoming much mild- 
er in his violence he turned and walked 
into the house, not even opposing Bet- 
ty's saying a word of cheer and good 
night to her lover, though he stood near 
the door and watched with an eagle eye, 
as she called her words to Patterson go- 
ing toward the gate. 

Lightly he thought of her father's dire 
threats and like beams of joyous sunshine 
were the words of Betty which seemed 
to float about his head as he walked 
onward making bright the pathway ex- 
tending before him, not only there upon 
the ground, but far, far away into the 
future yet untrod. 

The train left Harper's Ferry for 
Baltimore at an early hour in the morn- 
ing and as Robert's engine puffing like 
a porpoise pulled through the quiet ham- 
let still unwaked, he lonked towards the 
Norris cottage and tossed a kiss thither- 



ward, but it was not for Bettj's father. 
As he dill so. the old stoker, with a 
grimv shovel in his hands, looked up 
from his work and smiled at his young 
chief. He had been like that himself, 
long ago, and he had not forgotten. 

When the cars returned in the even- 
ing, Robert heard a strange story of old 
Mr. Norris refusing entrance to his cot- 
tage all da\', keeping the doors barred 
and the windows closed, and no one had 
seen Betty since the night before. As 
may be imagined the young man was 
powerfully wrought upon by the story 
which he had heard and as soon as he 
could take his engine to its destination 
at Harper's Ferry he hurried back on 
tlie wings of love to find his dear Betty. 
Without a moment's hesitation he went 
to the Norris cottage and demanded ad- 
mittance in no uncertain tones. He had 
the right, as none in the village had, to 
seek in this commanding fashion, for he 
but sought his own. With a thunderous 
knock he struck upon the door, while a 
dozen villagers waited at the gate for 
the result of his visit. 

Presenth' the door was opened and 
the villagers heard a harsh and chuckling 
laugh, as of cruel triumph, and Robert 
Patterson was admitted by Bett3''s father. 
For at least a (piarter of an hour the 
place was still as the grave, the crowd 
of villagers standing at the gate m breath- 
less suspense. Then slowly as if dazed, 
bewildered, stunned, Robert Patterson 
came forth and staggered down the walk 
to the gate falling as if dead into the 
arms of those waiting there." 

From this point the manuscript be- 
came most verbose, the writer doing his 
best to furnish the reader with what in 
these modern times is known as ''fine 
writing." I shall on that account brief 
the story by saying that Robert Patter- 
son on entering the cottage found the 
old gentleman Norris smiling and bow- 
ing as in his courtlier days, and on being 
escorted by him into the little parlor he 
found standing there attired as a bride 
the graceful figure of Betty Norris. The 
light was dim and he could see her only 
indistinctly, but with a glad cry he ran 
to meet her. As he threw his arms about 
her, she fell over upon his breast, cold 
and rigid, and her father laughed in a 
perfect rapture of enjoyment at this 
meeting; of the lovers. Bett\' was dead.

A STORY OF THI-: POTOMAC. 



by what means it could not be told, and 
her father was a maniac beyond the 
power of man to cure. The tragedy was 
far beyond the pale of law and no at- 
tempt was made at a trial farther than 
an inquest into the sanity of Mr. Norris. 
This was soon determined, for he was a 
chattering child to all intents and pur- 
poses before his judges, harmless and 
helpless now that his terrible purpose 
had been accomplished, and the judges 
at once decided to send him to the state 
asylum for the insane. 

But Robert Patterson intervened. 
He had been as one stricken beyond 
recovery since that terrible night, but 
he had been present at the funeral of 
Betty and he was at the inquest upon 
her father, and now he rose to the sub- 
limity of greatness. 

"Gentlemen," he said slowly, "give 
me the charge of Betty's father, for if I 
had not been, this tragedy would not 
have been. I owe it to her, I owe it to 
her father, I owe it to myself, I owe it 
to this community. With the little he 
has and what I have saved I can care 



for him and watch over him until the end." 
An effort was made to dissuade him, 
but he insisted so upon making this 
sacrifice to his love, that it was per- 
mitted him, and at once he gave up his 
position of engineer and built on the 
mountain side away from the world, but 
in sight of it and always overlooking the 
home where Betty lived and the grave 
where she slept, a little cottage for him- 
self and his charge. Here the two men 
lived for three years, and when Betty's 
father died and was buried by the side 
of his daughter, Robert Patterson, white 
haired and bowed, though still young 
in years, went away to his home in the 
north and was never heard of again. 

To-day only the scarcely visible wall 
of stone is left to hint at what was, and 
the graves of Betty Norris and her father, 
unmarked, are lost forever. But the 
river still ripples along the shore and 
the great mountains rest as quietly in the 
pink rosed morn and the purple lillied 
twilight as if there were in all of human 
history no broken hearts, no lives plunged 
deep in hopeless shadows.

I'. S. S. " MAINE." 



'T'HE •• MAINE " was ciesiuned by the 
■^ Bureau of Construction and Repair 
at the Navy Department in the sununer 
of iScS/, and orders were sent to the 
New York navy yard about tlie first of 
November of that year to begin tlie con- 
struction. 

The work of preparation was con- 
siderably delayed by a fire which de- 
stroyed the constrtiction drafting office 
at that yard with many of the working 
drawings and schedules of materials 
which had been prepared, so that the 
actual work of construction was not 
commenced until September, iSSS. The 
ship was launched November iS, 1.S90. 
The work advanced rapidly until it 
reached the point where it was necessary 
to fit the armor before proceeding further, 
and then there were protracted delays 
owing to the incompletion of the armor 
making plant at Bethlehem, Pa. Much 
work could not be done until the armor 
was in place, so that the ship was not fi- 
nally commissioned for service until Sep- 
tember 17, i!~!95. Since then she has 
been in constant service as a part of the 
North Atlantic or home squadron, and 
has proved herself a thoroughly efficient 
and serviceable vessel, being concedeti 
to be one of the best of her class in tlie 
world. She cost S2, 500, 000 complete, 
5^120,000 of which was paid for armor 
and §750,000 for the propelling machin- 
ery, which was built by contract by the 
Quintard Iron Works of New York, leav- 
ing less than Si, 000, 000 expended upon 
the htill and its appendages and outfit. 

In general appearance and disposi- 
tion of the battery she resembles the 
"Riachuelo" of the Brazilian Navy, 
which ship was just completed at the 
time of her design, and was regarded as 
the best vessel of her class afloat. The 
resemblance goes no farther, however, 
for in ever^'thing but the position of the 
turrets and shape of the superstructure 
she is radically different from that ship. 
As originally designed, the turrets for 
the 10 inch guns were similar to tlie 
" Riachuelo's," but they were modified 
previous to construction, in harmony 
with more modern ideas, and the a.xis of 
the guns raised considerably higher 
above the deck than had been originally 
intended. The arrangement of the aux- 
iliary batter}', consisting of six b inch 



B. L. R. guns, has never been changed 
and is similar to that of the "Riach- 
uelo." Her displacement when in all re- 
spects ready for sea is 6,682 tons, being 
about 1,000 tons greater than her proto- 
type. She is a twin screw, armored, 
turret vessel of the belted cruiser type, 
the water line for about sixty per cent 
of her length amidship being protected 
by an armor belt 12 inches thick, extend- 
ing from three feet above the normal 
water line to four feet below the same. 
An armored deck 2 inches thick is 
worked on top of this belt and is ex- 
tended forward and aft to the ends of 
the vessel. Her length on the water 
line is 318 feet and 324 feet over all. 
The breadth over all is 57 feet and nor- 
mal draft of water 2i'j feet. Her dis- 
placement per inch of immersion at the 
normal water line is 32.3 tons, and her 
metacentric height, the same being a 
measure of her stability, is 3.45 feet. 
The weight of the hull and fittings with- 
out armor, armament or machinery is 
3,002 tons, of side armor 526 tons, of 
turret and breastwork armor 533 tons, of 
propelling machinery 913 tons, of arma- 
ment and ammunition 4IS7 tons, and of 
coal, stores, boats, spars and general 
outfit 1,221 tons. Her battery consists 
of four 10 inch B. L. R. guns mounted 
in two turrets placed on echelon, the 
forward turret being on the starboard 
side and the after turret on the port side, 
both partially overhanging the side of 
the ship ami being supported by arm- 
ored sponsons. The armor of these 
turrets is 12 inches thick. Of her auxil- 
iary battery two 6 inch guns are 
mounted on the main deck forward and 
two on the main deck aft and two on 
top of the midship superstructure, all 
being protected by armor shields. Her 
secondary battery consists of eight 6 
pounder, eight i pounder and four Gat- 
ling guns. She is fitted with four tor- 
pedo tubes, two on each broadside. 

The propelling machinery consists of 
two sets of vertical triple expansion en- 
gines having cylinders 35^'.', 57 and 88 
inches in diameter with 36 inches stroke 
and g,ooo indicated horse power. There 
are eight cylindrical Scotch boilers, 14 
feet 8 inches in diameter and 10 feet 
long, carrying a working pressure of 135 
pounds per square inch with 553 S(|uare

But of these many hundred little 
cities of transient population, Atlantic 
City has become the Acropolis. On the 
Atlantic coast, fifty-six miles southeast 
of Philadelphia lies this most famous 
sea-coast resort. The grand old ocean 
sweeps away to the East three thousand 
miles, unbroken by a speck of land, to

wintry cold and summer heat, Atlantic 
City is blessed with an invigorating,

While in summer, the cooling breezes

in the world. Here it is the invalid 
seeking health finds exhilaration and 
vitalizatiou ; he who is blessed with 
health is here to seek pleasure; the for-

Quakers of Pennsylvania and New Jer- 
sey, who went there to hold their un-

is one of continued bustle and excite- 
ment. 

Along the ocean front for a distance 
of seven miles is the famous Esplanade 
or " Board Walk," with its forty feet of 
planking, built on steel girders. Along 
the "Board Walk" on the ocean side 
extends the famous bathing beach, which 
enjoys the proud distinction of being the 
most perfect bathing shore in the world. 
On the shore side can be found the

estimated there are about eleven hun- 
dred hotels and cottages devoted to 
the transient population. Some of these 
hotels are as magnificent in detail as can 
be found in the country. Every possi- 
ble opportunity for comfort, health and 
pleasure is afforded. The rich can find 
luxury in its most profuse form ; the 
humble can secure less pretentious quar-

end, known as the "Inlet." The Inlet 
is so named because it is here that 
the ocean rushes in and forms the 
estuary which cuts off Atlantic City from

of yachtsmen and fishermen. Sailing

The popular daily race is started from 
this point and the pleasure seekers find 
enjoyment in picking out their ••win-

yacht, take active part in tlie race 
down the ocean past the city. It is 
a comnion sight to see fifteen or twenty 
of these beautiful little crafts sailing 
down past the city just beyond the steel 
piers and tacking back to the starting

of people gathered on the beach or the

over one hundred thousand people in 
the surf at one time. This seems to be 
a great number but there is no e.xagger- 
ation of the possibilities that the mag-

slope from the -'Board Walk," it ex- 
tends seaward for a distance of two 
hundred yards. The favorite bathing 
hour is 'oetween eleven and twelve 
o'clock, when the great crowds take 
advantage of the incoming tide. The 
sight presented is one which defies de- 
scription; men, women and children in 
bathing costumes of varied hues, form 
a picture never to be forgotten. Asa

Thi' back waters from the Inlet form

Down the "Board Walk" from the 
Inlet, about half a mile, is the Absecon 
Light-house and the Life Saving Sta- 
tion. It is an interesting fact that the 
light from this light-house is the first 
which is seen by the ocean steamers 
which take the Southern route from the 
old world to this country. It is said to 
be plainly seen forty miles at sea. 

The surf bathing which has made 
Atlantic City famous, is one of the 
wonders of the world. It has been

expert swimmers, who patrol the beach 
beyond the breakers and are ready at 
all times to come to the assistance of 
the unfortunate bather, who has either 
gone beyond his depth or has in a fit of 
fool-hardiness swam out too far and be- 
come exhausted. There are almost 
daily instances in the crowded season, 
of the prowess of these life savers. These 
men are paid principally by subscription 
from the bath houses and by contribu- 
tions which are taken up from the gen- 
erous throng who have witnessed the 
saving of a life.

ATLANTIC CITY AND THE EASTERN COAST RESORTS. 



The great Iron Pier at the foot of 
Tennessee Avenue extends seaward 
about twelve hundred feet and is a 
favorite spot from which to view the 
shores. Out at its farthest end is an 
immense dip net which is hauled ever\' 
afternoon, forming great amusement to 
lookers on. The hauls are scarcel}' alike 
two days in succession; every kind of 
sea fish imaginable is taken in and 
occasionally a man-eating shark finds 
his way into its meshes. There is no 
better place to see the variety of the 
fishes of the ocean than to visit this spot. 

At night Atlantic City is one grand 
blaze of light and gayety. The merry

Although Atlantic City is the gayest of 
the gay, yet it is a haven of perfect rest

nooks, the handsome residences and fine 
drives all add to its charm. To the 
north of Asbury Park lie Interlaken, 
Lock Arbor, Deal Beach, Elberon, 
Holly Wood, Long Branch and Mon- 
mouth Beach ; to the south lie Ocean 
Grove, Bradley Beach, Avon-by-the-Sea, 
Belmar, Como, Spring Lake, Sea Girt 
and Point Pleasant ; and to the west lies 
Wanamassa. All of these resorts come 
within this belt of fertile land wafted by 
breezes from the health-giving pines on 
the west and the ocean on the east. 

A belt line of electric cars encircles 
the entire town. The ride is delight- 
ful, leading over a mile through the 
business part of the town, and within 
two hundred feet of Wesley Lake, 
then passing near to all the principal 
hotels and within sight of the ocean and 
the wide board-walk or plaza, dotted 
here and there with pavilions and ex- 
tending the entire length of the town, 
then along the beautiful and romantic 
Deal Lake, and passing some of the 
many fine private residences, and within 
sight of Interlaken, passing the athletic 
grounds. Sunset Lake and the railroad 
stations, with their beautiful grounds, 
making a ride to be appreciated by all. 

Among the principal attractions are 
the magnificent drives, through roman- 
tic and picturesque Interlaken, "Beau-

of golden grain, the extensive green 
lawns that encircle the costly mansions 
of the various nearby villages, with the 
gay beds of choicest flowers filling the 
air with their sweet perfume, and through 
the shady nooks and under the stately 
pines and sturdy oaks that line the 
drives to the west. 

The purity of the atmosphere, the 
solid agricultural back country, the ab- 
sence of that intolerable pest, the mos- 
(piito, with other advantages, such as 
its wide streets, grand ocean promenade 
and pavilions, make it a place of un- 
rivaled excellence. There is everything 
to please the most fastidious taste, and 
to satisfy the most eager search for 
health and pleasure.

thorized to make its own laws, and these 
have been framed so as to secure for all 
time the purposes in view when the work 
began. No intoxicating li(]uors are al- 
lowed on the grounds. Boating, bath- 
ing and driving are prohibited on Sun- 
day, and all behavior unbecoming such 
a place is quickly suppressed. These 
regulations, suiting the religious ideas 
of a large number of people, have made 
the place e-\treniely popular to those

Where the placid waters of the Del- 
aware unite with the Atlantic Ocean is 
a picturescjue spot where all the fancies 
of nature may be carolled to their fullest 
extent. It is Cape May, the sister re- 
sort of Atlantic City. It is different 
from the latter in that there are more 
cottages owned by private individuals 



Atlantic City, but nevertheless a similar 
promenade can be found here. The 
smooth hard surface of the beach ex- 
tends gently seaward, even farther than 
the beach of Atlantic City, and the same 
exhilarating salt air is wafted in on the 
breath of the ocean. 

Cape May is the same distance from 
Philadelphia as Atlantic City, but more 
to the southeast, and the popular bath-

helped to make Atlantic City the favor-

palatial hotels and modern cottages for 
the most fastidious, and it will always 
be a favorite to the "40,000." 

Between Cape May and Atlantic

All of these resorts are reached di-

BV .WILLIAM GILBERT IRWIN. 



'C'ROM an industrial standpoint the 
■*• great Connellsville Coke Region of 
Southwestern Pennsylvania, through 
the heart of which passes the line of the 
Baltimore and Ohio Road, is one of the 
most interesting sections of the United 
States. Pittsburg has been styled the 
unique city of our great Republic, and, 
while she owes her greatness to such a 
myriad of diversified circumstances and 
favorable advantages that it would be 
difficult to assign her greatness to any 
one of her vast resources, yet were it 
possible to single out any one resource 
which more than any other has been 
conducive to the rise of the Iron City, 
that one would be her boundless fuel 
suppl}'. Her raw coal fields have given 
Pittsburg a greater water tonnage than 
that of New York City. Close to her 
doors lies the greatest coke region on 
terra firnia. 

To trace in elaborate detail the infan- 
tile vicissitudes of the industry and to 
follow it through the various stages of 
its development, we have one of the 
most interesting recitals presented in 
all the annals of trade. The story reads 
like a fairy tale of industry, for at every 
point we see the mightiest struggles of 
genius, the boldest strokes of business 
stratagem, and the most gigantic schemes 
involving the outlay of enormous capital 
and the organization of great armies of 
employes. 

The Connellsville Coke Region takes 
its name from the thriving town of Con- 
nellsville, which town was formerly the 
headquarters of the freight department 
of the Pittsburg Division of the Pitts- 
burg and Cumberland Line of the Balti- 
more & Ohio Road. Located on the 
banks of the classic Yough, in the good 
old county which keeps fresh in the 
memory of the people the name of that 
noble young Frenchman who gave up 
his home and native land that he might 
devote his life to the cause of the strug- 
gling patriots, Connellsville is the cen- 
ter of this famous coke region, and about 
it the industry was first established and 
here it passed through many of the 
early stages of its development. 

While the Connellsville Region prop- 
er lies just at the western foothills of 



the Alleghenies and extends from the 
Mason and Dixon Line northward to the 
town of Latrobe, the region really ex- 
tends far beyond these borders. Let 
him who would study aright the coal 
area from which the world's greatest 
coke region has risen climb to the top of 
Chestnut Ridge and turn back with the 
finger of science the earthen leaves of 
the book which nature has spread out 
at his feet. Like the inscription on the 
tower of Pharos, the creator's name 
stands out in deep letters when the crust 
of clay is broken off, and the zealous 
hands of nature herself have washed off 
the dirt and left the specimens of her 
handiwork visible upon the western 
slope of her ridge. According to the 
more or less certain traditions of geol- 
ogy the different coal veins of this sec- 
tion once spread out in unbroken sheets 
from middle Pennsj'lvania to middle 
Ohio, far southward into Dixie land and 
northward into the Empire State. Lit- 
tle patches of these fragments of the 
less destructible rocks which are their 
geological neighbors, are still found scat- 
tered throughout the country, where 
now the lower coal veins are near the 
present surface. 

Whether the general height of the 
continent was at that pre-historic time 
much above the sea level is questionable. 
The ocean then flowed over the rich 
farming sections of eastern Pennsyl- 
vania and surrounding states, and the 
wide-mouthed marine monsters of that 
age grazed over the flat acres where 
to-day the frugal Pennsylvania Dutch 
pasture their mild-eyed milk producers. 
Later this section of our country was 
lifted and tossed into the air, and finally, 
through the lapse of ages, the high, 
steep mountain sides were worn down 
to their present contour. 

The surgery of nature has here cut 
down to the bones of mother earth, and 
we can trace the layers of flesh and veins 
and skin that, although now covering 
only the valleys, was formerly continu- 
ous over the mountain crests. Away 
down in the valley, far below the Free- 
port vein crops out the rich coking coal. 
Marked by a line of undulating strata,

ovens, it stretches away to the north 
and to the south. The j^eology of 
this section carries one back to a time 
so remote that it seems like eternity 
itself, when the trees which have been 
digested in the cannibal stomach of 
mother earth were bred upon the land 
under the amorous kisses of the sun. 

The fair}' tale of science which could 
be woven from this peaceful field of 
industry does not exceed in interest the 
story of the rise of the great coke indus- 
try here in Southwestern Pennsylvania. 
Its early days present a story of dis- 
heartening adventure and costly experi- 
ment, but through the genius of an irre- 
sistible progress, the industry rose and 
flourished, and has since given rise to 
other great industries. When some 
Gibbons or Macaulay shall rise to por- 
tray the honors won by mankind in the 
peaceful fields of industry, the story of 
old King Coke shall form one of the most 
interesting chapters of that recital. 

The first coke manufactured in this 
region was made near Connellsville, in 
1 81 7, and the coke was used at the blast 
furnace near by, which was the first ever 
operated west of the mountains. The 
first ovens erected in this region were 
erected by Provance McCormick, John 
Taylor and James Campbell, in the year 
1841, and an attempt to place the pro- 
duct in the markets of Cincinnati and 
other river cities proved unsuccessful. 
While various attempts at coke making 
were made between 1842 and i860, it 
was not until after that time that the 
industry took a firm hold in this region. 

The H. C. Frick Coke Company, 
to-day the leading firm engaged in the 
industry, was organized in the year 1871, 
and since that time the growth of that 
corporation has been constant, and to- 
day it controls more than two-thirds of 
the 18,708 ovens which comprise the 
eighty-seven coke plants of this region. 
This great coke firm has a chartered 
capital of Sio.ooo, 000. It controls over 
50,000 acres of coal lands in this region. 
For the equipment of its various plants 
it has sixty miles of railroad, twenty-five 
locomotives, 2,000 railroad cars, 100 
stationary engines, fifty miles of wire 
rope, 200 steam boilers, 5,000 mine cars 
and 400 miles of mine track. When 
running full time the output of the 
plants of the concern is upwards of 



180,000 tons per week. Over 20,000 
workmen are given employment about 
the mines and ovens of this vast corpora- 
tion. 

The annual output of this coke re- 
gion is about 15,000,000 tons, and to- 
day Connellsville coke is to be found 
wherever manufacturing has obtained a 
foothold. To-day the industry is car- 
ried on in twenty-two states of the 
Union. The long lines of ovens are now 
darkening the summits of the snow-clad 
Rockies and Sierras, and to the north 
and the south, volcano-like, they belch 
forth their smoke and soot and grime. 

Upward of 10,000 men are employed 
in getting out the coal for the ovens of 
the Connellsville region. 10,000 men 
working one year will do as much work 
as one man working 10,000 3'ears. If 
Adam had kept on spading, allowing no 
time for strikes, he would only be get- 
ting on toward noontime when the new 
dispensation dawned on his bald old 
head. Methuselah could not have done 
one hour's such work even if he had 
been born with a pick in his hand and 
dropped it at the edge of the grave. 
This awakening process is daily going 
on, and still the world moves because 
modern mechanics are binding the long 
sleeping giants to the yoke, and thus 
are mechanical achievements and revo- 
lutions constantly being wrought. 

Such are the wonders King Coke has 
wrought here in Southwestern Pennsyl- 
vania, and everywhere throughout his 
domain are to be seen marvels now be- 
ing accomplished. Towns, villages and 
mining hamlets have sprung up at the 
bidding of this master. Railroads have 
reached out their gathering arms and 
the armies of employes and liberal cap- 
ital have produced a busy and a popu- 
lous region, where not so long ago all 
was peaceful farming lands and rural- 
istic scenes. The industry made Con- 
nellsville, Scotdale, Mt. Pleasant and 
scores of lesser towns and villages. 

While at some other places new cok- 
ing ideas are being grafted onto the 
coke industry, the Connellsville region 
still clings to the old bee-hive oven. 
But new ideas are soon to be introduced 
into the great coke industry here. When 
this shall be accomplished and the by- 
product coking systems come to be the 
prevailing type in this region, then the 



14

traveler shall see no more of the smoke 
and grime. These new ideas will also 
make possible the saving of many mil- 
lions of dollars. 

On the Hungarian peasant's mental 
map the Connellsville region is doubt- 
lessly larger than all the rest of the 
United States, and to him it is better 
known than any other section. The in- 
troduction of the Hun into this district 
dates back a score of years, to the time 
when there was a great demand for the 
product and when labor was scarce. 
The Hungarians who then obtained em- 
ployment at the cokeries wrote home to 
their friends and ever since that time 
they have been coming to the region. 

This region where old King Coke 
now reigns supreme is historic ground. 
Through the region Braddock, Forbes, 
Bouquet and other leaders during the 
French and Indian war led their hosts 
to battle. Washington once owned 
much of the region, and even at that 
early day his far-seeing eye caught some 
glimpses of the ultimate value of the 
region. Some idea of the vast value of 
these coal lands may be gleaned from 
the prices paid. for them during the last 
quarter of a century. In 1864 coal land 
in this region was selling for $12.50 per 
acre, and just thirty years later $600.00 
per acre was paid for the same lands. 
Within the past si.x months $2,500 per 
acre was paid for land adjoining, and 
still the prices are going upward. Not 
less than $40,000,000 have been paid to 
the farmers and other original owners of 
the land in this region. 

For many years we have heard the 
cry that this coke region was fast becom- 
ing exhausted, but an examination of 
the region does not bear out this appre- 
hension. Even with the increased coke 



production which the next century must 
see there is no danger of a speedy ex- 
haustion of the coking coal of the re- 
gion. To realize fully the coking coal 
still held in reserve in this region it is 
only necessary to recall the fact that be- 
neath more than three-fourths of the 200 
square miles of the region there is still 
hiddena nine foot vein of coal, and a close 
computation of this vast reserved energy 
must startle the most conservative. 

While the effects of the coke indus- 
try are universal, they are no more 
apparent anywhere on the face of the 
globe than here in Southwestern Penn- 
sylvania. The coke industry shifted 
from the eastern part of the state the 
pig iron industr5', and made possible its 
grand development. Old King Coke has 
helped to make Pittsburg famous in 
every land beneath the sun. 

To the traveler passing through the 
region the true significance of the seem- 
ingly obscure industry does not become 
apparent. By day the long lines of 
smoke and fire seem to have no other 
object than to cloud the sky and scent 
the air with a disagreeable odor. At 
night the great long lines of fire at in- 
tervals along the road remind the trav- 
eler of a torch light procession, while 
their uncanny flickering presents a men- 
tal vision of things ghost-like. But 
this region is famous throughout the 
world. Its name is frequently upon the 
lips of the eager-eyed speculator on the 
exchange, in the mind of the capitalist 
in his counting house, and in the con- 
versations of the ambitious workmen 
amid the noise and grime of factories, 
and the story of its progress and evolu- 
tion is of interest to all to whom the 
activities and gains of business are a 
necessity or have a charm.

BV LOUIS M. GRICE. 



A/ AST Ocean! as upon thy realm I gaze, 

Beholding all thy greatness, nature-born, 
Wrapped in the boundaries of an azure haze, 
Nursed in the lap of centuries out-worn: 

My throbbing heart with silent wonder fills; 

My spirit with thy beauty is beguiled; 
My startled soul with deep emotion thrills, 

Before thy rugged grandeur, fierce and wild. 

Thy billows dash foam-crested in the sun, 
In mad career contending for the way, 

Till bursting as they meet, forthwith is sjiun 
An iridescent cloud of falling spray. 




What mighty storms have o'er thy surface swept; 

Fresh from the passioned deeps of Nature's heart; 
When thy great billows fiercely, madly leapt, 

Thus to the gale their grandeur to impart. 

How many countless vessels thou hast borne 
Upon thy bosom, heaving as with might; 

How often hast thou hurled them crushed and torn. 
To perish on the rocks in awful plight. 

How short is mortal life compared to thine; 

How many generations from their goal 
Have reached their growth and suffered their decline. 

Since first thy wavLS began their ceaseless roll. 

Roll on with rumbling roar, O mighty deep! 

In all your majesty and power great; 
While to eternity the ages sweep, 

Still thou shalt roll in all thy boundless state.

A T a time like the present when the 
-'- ^ pulse of a nation is throbbing fast 
and the entire population is eager for 
any scrap of news which comes from 
Washington, a sketch of diplomatic life 
at the Capital will be most interesting. 

A stranger coming into the city would 
naturally expect to see all excitement 
and confusion, but to the contrary, 
everything is most tranquil to outward 
appearances. Among diplomats war is 
not the subject of conversation ; in fact, 
it is a matter which is only spoken of 
in private circles. Washington is a city 
of diplomacy, where the representatives 
of every nation have gathered in com- 
pliment of nation to nation. These 
diplomats do not speak of existing 
National troubles in any possible man- 
ner which might be considered offen- 
sive. Society goes on with its tremen- 
dous strain of receptions and parties, 
just as though International troubles did 
not exist. The President attends to his 
duties with the same dignified demeanor 
as when problems of lesser consequence 
have been placed before him for solu- 
tion. 

The Cabinet officers, as well, handle 
their respective affairs of the Nation 
as becomes the dignity of their oftice. 
The War and Navy Department officials, 
while, perhaps, emburdened with more 
detail than ordinaril)', display no out- 
ward signs of excitement. The news- 
papers of the city command the respect 
of the Nation in their fairness in hand- 
ling real news or current rumors. The 
city's populace displays no unusual signs 
of excitement. 

All this is becoming to the dignity of 
the people of the United States. Yet it 
must be conceded that the terrific strain 
that this state of affairs must impose up- 
on any of the officials residing at the 
National Capital must be dreadful. 
Every man feels the importance of 
guarding his words in the most common- 
place conversation ; and in diplomatic 
circles or gatlierings the war subject is 
never discussed, nothing but the social 
side is ever presented to view. It will 
be remembered that there have been in- 
stances where embassadors from foreign 
countries ha\e let slip a fatal word, re- 



sulting in their dismissal from their 
positions of honor in this country. It is 
so easy to express a personal opinion, 
which, though harmless in itself, be- 
comes a National affair. Therefore, 
it can be appreciated what it means 
to be associated daily with friends and 
acquaintances, either of foreign coun- 
tries or our own, and be compelled to 
restrict the conversation to the weather 
or some common-place subject. Not- 
withstanding outward appearances of in- 
differences, there exists a tremendous 
under-current which seems almost in- 
credible that it does not break out from 
its bounds. An instance of this under- 
current was graphically brought to the 
notice of the writer while walking down 
New Hampshire Avenue one night last 
week. It was about ten o'clock Sunday 
night when the populace was startled by 
newsboys coming down the Avenue call- 
ing out a special evening edition of a 
certain daily paper (Sunday evening 
editions of newspapers in this country 
are, indeed, rare); and to be disturbed 
at that hour of the night after a quiet 
Sal)bath was most startling. Simul- 
taneously the front doors of the vari- 
ous mansions, including many lega- 
tions, in all directions swung open and 
men were seen to quietly step out of 
their yards to the sidewalk, awaiting the 
approach of the newsboys. It was very 
apparent that each man desired to con- 
ceal his excitement or curiosit}'. These 
men all have their opinion and expect- 
ancies and it was very natural that they 
read the latest news that is printed. 
The writer counted no less than ten dif- 
ferent doors that opened within a min- 
ute after the excited calling of the news- 
boys had been heard. Some of these 
men did not wait to enter their houses 
to read the paper but stopped under the 
lamp-posts on the sidewalk or strained 
their eyes under the dim light to read 
the head-lines. 

Coolest of all, though with the heav- 
iest weight on his mind, is the President; 
but he has the assurance of brave offi- 
cers, a cool-headed Cabinet, a ready 
Congress and a whole nation to back 
him; and the comforting home influence 
of a Christian wife. 



A SUMMER MEMORY. 



BY MRS. HELEN V. AUSTIN. 



/CROSSING Wills' Creek, about a 
^-' mile west of Cumberland, Md. , is 
the old National Bridge, whose stone 
arches have withstood the ravages of 
half a century. The grand old moun- 
tains, wrinkled and brown with rocks, 
stand as sturdy sentinels forever guard- 
ing this quaint structure, which is the 
connecting link in the first government 
highway between the East and the West. 
Wills' Creek is one of the most pic- 
turesque mountain streams which winds 



I suppose I was pretty, but my ac- 
complishments were not many beyond 
the domestic side of life. He was hand- 
some, talented and had had every ad- 
vantage of the higher education to be 
found in a large city. I had never met 
such a man as he, and I really do not 
blame myself for falling in love with 
him, even though I had some sort of an 
understanding with John. 

How my heart used to jump when 
Mr. Sloan would insist on having me go

its way through the AUeghenies to help 
form the beautiful Potomac. Many are 
the romances connected with the old 
bridge, and 1 often wonder if any of them 
have as sad an ending as my own. 

I was a simple country girl on my 
first visit to my cousin in Cumberland 
one summer many years ago. It was 
then that I met Arthur Sloan, a young 
artist who came from Pittsburg to spend 
his summer vacation sketching and fish- 
ing in the mountains. 



with him to the church which stands on 
the site of the old fort ; and while he 
made sketches of it, I would braid 
wreathes of clover blossoms and daisies. 
Then tiring of this, he would suggest we 
"make a pilgrimage," as he called it. 
across the Potomac into old Virginia. 
Perhaps his fancy would suggest that 
we climb the great steep hill just back 
of Cumberland, where he could sketch 
the town that lay at our feet. One day 
we rambled along the creek gathering

flowers and pebbles, when, crossing the 
bridge, we stopped to look at a Balti- 
more & Ohio train which shot out of the 
Narrows. 

'•Why do they call this the National 
Bridge? " I asked. 

' ' Because this is the National Road, " 
said he ; "at least it was begun by the 
Government in Revolutionary times, al- 
though it was not completed by the 
Government. In 1S34 its construction 
was given over to the states through 
which it passes. It was once the great 
highway from Washington to the West. " 

"And where does it go? " I asked. 

"It goes, as the old riddle has it, 



nevertheless this is a lovel}' stream and 
there is no more haunted spot to me 
than under the shadow of the old church 
yonder on the hill, where the little 
creek bids farewell to its own identity 
and becomes the noble Potomac." 

"Come," said he, touching my arm 
and looking at me with such a gentle 
smile. "We will go there now, and I 
will make a sketch of the charming scene 
and of you, most charming of all. " 

It was a lovel}' summer afternoon, 
the sun shone warm and the breezes 
from the mountain were so fresh and 
cool. Who could have lieen happier 
than I. for his glances were directed to

'over hill and dale and never moves.' 
But really it leads to Pittsburg, Colum- 
bus, Intlianapolis and St. Louis." 

" I wonder why they call this Wills' 
Creek. How was it named? " 

" The people up in the mountains 
claim it is named after Will Cresap, a 
son of Capt. Cresap." 

"And who was he?" I asked, always 
eager to gather information from his lips. 

" He was the man who murdered the 
family of Logan, the friendly Indian 
Chief, but I do not know why his son 
was so honored. This is only one of the 
many legends among the people. There 
are all sorts of haunted places about 
here and all kinds of strange stories. 
Many of the itinerants living in the 
mountains still believe in witches, but 



me more than to the landscape. When 
he had finished he brought the sketch 
over to me and my face flushed with 
pride \\'hen I saw that it was almost an 
inspiration — of what? Of love? For I 
was the prominent figure. 

Laying aside the portfolio he sat 
down beside me and talked vaguely of 
his uncertain future, his ambition and 
intended travels in the old world, his 
love of the mountains and especially 
the ones around us. He had been so 
happy while strolling with me through 
this romantic country, making many 
dear friends, of whom I was most beloved. 
My heart almost ceased to beat ; my 
liands were icy cold. I knew that he 
cared for me and he could not help but 
know that I loved him. I, the unedu-

cated country girl ; he, the man with a 
glorious future before him. 

The sun was slowly sinking, throw- 
ing those long beautiful shadows which 
make twilight so short in the mountains; 
and when we silently recrossed the 
old bridge and heard for the last time 
together the ripple of the waters 
something seemed to tell us that the 
curtain of night falling around us was 
the dropping of the curtain on our love. 



Oh I how my heart yearns when I 
recall the old bridge and its associations. 

He was called away suddenly the fol- 
lowing day, with barely a "good-bye," 
but the little bunch of forget-me-nots 
he gave me, tho' withered these many 
years, still retains the power of an en- 
chanter's wand to recall the past in all 
its vividness. 

I — I went back to my mountain 
home and to John. 



THE DOCTOR'S STORY. 



BY MADORA D ORSEY. 



"T'VE had many complicated cases," 
said Dr. Tarnley as he was stroll- 
ing down the street arm in arm with 
his only intimate friend; "but did you 
notice the young man we just now 
passed? His was the most stubborn I 
ever had to deal with." 

The young man referred to was ap- 
parently about twenty-five, below the 
average in height and most too broad 
to be considered in good proportion. 
He had a sandy mustache, bright brown 
eyes that twinkled and a complexion 
that showed its daily contact with the 
sun. He seemed however, like a pass- 
ably good fellow who might at times be 
a little bashful and undecided, but cer- 
tainly of a sunny disposition, although 
inclined to worry over trivial matters. 
Continuing the doctor said : 

"After dinner this evening I will tell 
you a little story about him, in which I 
occupy an unpaid and self-imposed 
place, but nevertheless one which has 
given me no little pleasure." 

The doctor was a bachelor of about 
thirty summers; no one seemed to fully 
understand him or to know when he was 
to be taken seriously. He possessed 
the peculiar disposition which one time 
attracted and at another repelled you, 
but when once you had gained him 
for a friend you found him faithful and 
true. The ladies never understood or 
appreciated him as he was more given 
to irony and sarcasm than indulging in 
the flatteries and pretty speeches of the 
day. A close student of human nature, 
he took great delight in watching how 
people behaved under various circum- 
stances, and though seldom confidential 



he occasionally told a good story of a 
reminiscent character to his friends' de- 
light. 

Gossip had him mixed up in innu- 
merable love affairs but "he was a friend 
of all women and a lover of none. " Why 
he had not married no one could tell. 

After dinner he led the way to the 
library and donning his house coat and 
slippers he stretched himself out on a 
large leather couch and began the fol- 
lowing story: 

"Several years ago when located in 
Atterbury, I met Miss Grace Norton, a 
lively coquettish girl of sixteen, with 
dark snapping eyes which were unusu- 
ally large and expressive, and olive com- 
plexion and jet black hair. She had a 
rich contralto voice and \vhen she sang 
you seemed carried to realms where all 
is love. 

"One day shortly after I went there I 
met this young fellow, whom I shall 
call the Professor, on his way to church 
with Miss Norton. They both sang in 
the choir, and as she was constantly 
seen in his company, it soon became 
whispered that they were engaged. 

"The choir met for rehearsals on Fri- 
day evenings, and here the story reallj' 
begins. 

"One Saturday morning the organist, 
who was a young man, dropped into 
my office and incidentally told me as a 
matter of gossip, that some misunder- 
standing had taken place between the 
two the night before during choir prac- 
tice. The next Sunday I noticed he 
seemed terribly distressed and mechan- 
ically followed her about with his eyes, 
not knowing what to make of her atti-

tude towards him. Instantly my heart 
went out in sympathy and I determined 
to devise some means of bringmg them 
together again. The first tiling to do 
was to discover if possible, the cause 
of the trouble, and I therewith ap- 
pointed myself a committee of one to do 
it. They were both at evening service, 
but not together. I fear I studied them 
more than I did the sermon, and I con- 
cluded that her appearance of indiffer- 
ence and self-possession was only a 
cloak to hide her deeper feelings. 

"Mechanically after church he moved 
toward the door and was in the act of beg- 
ging permission to accompany her home, 
when I came up behind him and with 
a familiar pat on the back, suggested if 
he had nothing particular on hand that 
he come home with me and see some 
new views I had taken along the Balti- 
more & Ohio during my recent trip to 
Washington. Without waiting for his 
answer I marched him around home, 
but I must confess I never saw a man 
so distressed, and he answered all my 
questions at random. It was impossible 
for him to carry on a connected conver- 
sation and he took very little interest 
in my pictures until I brought forward 
one of a friend who had accompanied 
me on this trip. I found I must resort 
to heroic means if I meant to get to the 
bottom of this trouble, so I concocted a 
story of how this friend had been in love 
with my cousin, but that some petty 
jealousy had crept in and separated 
them and each were too proud to con- 
fess they had been to blame. 

"My plan succeeded, for at this his 
eyes began to fill and with very little 
tact I got the story from him. He said 
there had been no quarrel but as I knew 
he was detained on Friday evening and 
was not able to go around for her at the 
time stated and take her to choir prac- 
tice. Instead he hurried over to church, 
not taking time to go home for dinner, 
thinking he could explain his inability 
to keep the engagement. When he of- 
fered an explanation she would not 
listen, saying it did not matter to her 
whether he came or not. Since then 
she avoided him and he did not see how 
matters would right themselves. 

"To a small degree I had diagnosed 
the case as he now told me but the next 
thing was to apply the proper remedies. 



" I made him promise before he left 
that he would leave it in my hands for 
a few days and would neither see her 
nor have any communication with her. 
The next evening I started out to make 
a call — not professionally — but socially, 
a most unusual thing for me to do. The 
girl in response to my knock said Miss 
Norton was in and without further cere- 
mony I was ushered into the parlor where 
she was seated at the piano. At a glance 
I saw traces of tears, but she tried to 
disguise them as she rose to greet me. 
I was relentless however and deter- 
mined she should be taught a lesson. 
After a few commonplace remarks I 
brought the conversation around to the 
Friday evening preceding, by saying: T 
had the pleasure of meeting your friend 
the Professor again the other evening.' 

"At this I saw her stiffen, and she 
replied coldly: 'Indeed!' 

" 'Yes ' I continued ' I was called in 
to see a patient who is suffering from a 
low fever and he was there. It seems 
that last Friday evening as he was hurry- 
ing home he nearly knocked over a little 
child who was wandering in a dazed 
fashion along the street. Stopping to 
inquire the cause of the little one's be- 
ing alone he found that her ' sister was 
sick and she was looking for the doc- 
tor.' Accompanying the little one to its 
home a few blocks away he discovered 
that the sister was very sick and without 
medicine or food. He then hurried to 
the nearest store and telephoned for me, 
stating he must keep an engagement and 
would I hurr}'. I replied that I would 
be there in a few minutes. He then 
went to his washerwoman who lived 
in the neighborhood and got her to look 
after the girl and provide her with what- 
ever I prescribed. I have not seen him 
since then until Sunday night and I did 
not ask him whether he kept his engage- 
ment or not. ' 



The doctor stopped abruptly here and 
seemed to be lost in thought. 

"Finally" he continued, "I saw little 
of them after that, except to note he was 
in his usual place by her side and 
seemed happy. A few months later 
they were married and that little cottage 
over there contains two of the happiest 
persons in this world."

NEW PASSENGER STATION AT CLE\'1":LAND. 



■npHE Cleveland Terminal & \'alley 
-^ Railroad Company (B.& O. Sys- 
tem) is making quite a number of im- 
portant improvements in its terminal 
facilities at Cleveland, and chief among 
them is its new passenger station at the 
foot of South Water St. The station 
proper is a handsome four story build- 
ing, one hundred feet long and forty 
three wide. The first story is of blue 
Amherst sandstone, while the upper 
stories are of light colored vitrified brick 
with trimmings of the Amherst stone. 
An imposing clock tower adds to the 
architectural appearance of the building, 
and is visible a great distance in all di- 
rections. The building has been mod- 
eled on modern lines, both in its con- 
struction and its points of public con- 
venience. It is not of the steel-skeleton 
style of construction, but has solid out- 
side walls with interior columns and 
floors of steel and fire-proof construction. 
The ground floor is devoted entirely to 
the accommodation of passengers, and 
has separate waiting-rooms for ladies 
and gentlemen, with news-stand, lunch- 
counter, package check-room, and tele- 
graph office which are conveniences 
greatly appreciated by the traveling 
public. The baggage-room is large and 
easy of access. 

The second floor will be occupied 
by the President and Operating Depart- 
ment, and the third floor bj' the Trattic 
Department. The fourth floor will be 
used for filing and storing purposes. 
The offices are reached through the 
main or tower vestibule, by means of 
an electric elevator. The floors of the 
vestibule and corridors, as well as those 
of the waiting and toilet rooms are of 
broken mosaic. The interior wood fin- 
ish throughout the building is of oak 
and the office floors are of maple. 

Connected with the station is a hand- 
some steel train-shed of modern design, 
six hundred feet in length, and contain- 
ing four tracks, which are elevated by 
means of a steel trestle to the levc-l of 
the street.

" IVrO'-'^^'''^^^^- Lakes or Seashore! 
^^^ Which shall it he?" 

The first balmy days of spring call 
forth this important question to be de- 
cided upon months in advance by the 
American people, who in a systematic, 
business-like manner look forward to a 
few days or weeks of recreation in the 
summer time. 

We are always looking for a cliange. 
Those who were at the sea-shore last 
year may want the mountains or great 
lakes this year. 

It was facetiously remarked in a re- 
cent daily paper that some of our good 
people who have been in the habit of 
going to the sea-shore resorts, may think 
the cooling mountain breezes far more 
beneficial to their health this year than 
the former places, inasmuch as certain 
International complications might make 
the sea-coast resorts too hot for summer. 

At any rate, the grand old Allegheny 
mountains have boundless room for the 
sweltering throngs and will rival the sea 
in its hospitality. 

In the States of Ohio, Indiana and 
Illinois it is a remarkable fact how few 
there are of the traveling population 
who have full knowledge of the delight- 
ful retreats atlorded by the .Alleghen\- 
Mountains within but a few hours of 
their homes. 

This fact was particularly illustrated 
by a conversation between two wealthy 
men seated in the corridor of one of 
Cincinnati's prominent hotels discussing 
plans of sending their families awav 
from the city the coming summer. One 
of these gentlemen was over-heard to 
remark that he would like to send his 
family to the mountains at Deer Park, 
Maryland, if it were not so far away. 



The other gentleman replied he hid 
also considered the same plan, but was 
afraid it was too far, since he had de- 
cided to spend his Sundays with his 
family. The first gentleman said thit 
would be out of the question, as it 
would take twenty-four hours travel each 
way. The second gentlemia inquired 
the distance to Deer 
Park. Whereupon the 
firstgentlemansaid he 
did not know. Their 
mutual ignorance re- 
sulted in referring to 
a railroad time table 
and both men were 
surprised to find it 
was but eleven hours 
ride. They extended 
their investigations 
and found they were 
as near the principal 
mountain resorts as

Glades," a long plateau on the dividing 
ridge of the water -shed of the Poto- 
mac, Allegheny and Monongahela Val- 
leys. Continuously swept by mountain 
breezes, Deer Park is at all times most 
delightful, and is known as the "Queen 
of the Mountains." All the modern 
improvements in summer resorts are 
found here. The splendid hotel, sur- 
rounded by delightful cottages, is built 
on a little knoll in "The Glades." It is 
a resort which has been popular for 
nearly half a century, and patronized 
by the very best people of the land. 

During the summer of 1897, in the 
months of July and August, when there 
was such a fearful mortality all over the 
country, it was tantalizing indeed, to 
read the daily reports of temperature 
which came from this mountain top. 
In several of the big cities many will 
remember the bulletin boards located 
on principal street corners which re- 
corded the daily temperature at Deer 
Park, received by telegraph at 10 o'clock 
every morning. In many instances it 
was noted that there was a difference of 
35° to 40° from the thermometer's reg- 
ister in the cities. This soothing tem-

the residents of New York. These stu- 
dents of the time table also learned 
that by adding on the time to Louis- 
ville, St. Louis and Chicago the resi- 
dents of these cities had equally as good 
facilities to the most desirable places in 
the mountains as the Eastern cities. 

The famous mountain region along 
the line of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- 
road, which has been described infini- 
tesimally for the last fifty years, lies be- 
tween Grafton, West Virginia, and Har- 
per's Ferry, Maryland, a distance of an 
even two hundred miles. It is gorgeous 
in magnificent scenery, wild as the most 
unexplored country, cultivated to the 
most fastidious modern taste, and af- 
fords the widest scope for all kinds of 
summer recreation. 

Deer Park is the most beautiful and 
exquisite resort in this mountain region. 
It is 2,800 feet above the sea level and 
the average temperature in the hottest 
summer is but 67" Fahrenheit. It is 
located in what is known as "The

guests have been provided for in the 
way of amusements, such as bilHard 
rooms, bowling alleys, tennis grounds, 
golf links, stables, etc. The bridle 
paths and road-ways winding through 
the mountains are among the most beau- 
tiful in the land. The two large swim- 
ming pools are unending pleasures to 
the guests, one being devoted entirely 
to men and the other to women and chil- 
dren. Zimmerman's Naval Academy 
Orchestra from Annapolis, Md., has 
been retained for the coming season,

perature, of course, was accompanied 
with the invigorating mountain air, 
laden with the incense of the mountain 
forest. 

At Deer Park is the famous Boiling 
Spring, which furnishes water for the 
hotel, its swimming pools, its gardens, 
etc., and it is claimed that this water has 
magnificent health-giving powers. The 
hotel itstlf has recently been remodeled 
and equipped with additional modern 
features, making it one of the most 
attractive hostelries of summer resorts. 
The rooms are spacious and inviting, and 
the cuisine is especially recommended.

band concerts, the acquisition of this 
famous orchestra especially foreshadows 
a successful summer. 

The cottages are by no means a side 
attraction to this popular resort. The 
exquisite little homes are completely 
furnished and can be rented for regular 
housekeeping purposes, or, if desired, 
the occupants can obtain their meals 
from the hotel. 

Deer Park does not share alone all 
the loveliness of "The Glades." Four 




miles to the west is Mountain Lake Park, 
and two miles further west is Oakland. 
These resorts are also on the main line 
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. 

Mountain Lake Park presents en- 
chanting vistas of loveliness, open on 
every side to sunshine and mountain 
breezes. The Park consists of eight 
hundred acres of forest and glade, with 
twenty miles of delightful driveways 
winding in and out. The scenery round- 
about is intensely beautiful, notably at 
Eagle Rock, Allegheny Heights, Fort 
Pendleton, Monta Vista, Swallow Falls, 
Muddy Falls and Big Yough. 

Mountain Lake Park is the home of 
the Mountain Chautauqua, established 
in the fall of i8<Si. Every summer it is 
the scene of unwonted interest, as large

gatherings of intelligent people hold an- 
nual educational and religious meetings 
in the beautiful Park in buildings espe- 
cially provided. A large auditorium 
seating twenty-five hundred people is 
used for religious meetings, lectures and 
literary entertainments. Adjoining it is 
a large building consisting of lecture and 
school rooms devoted to educational 
features. Ample provision is made for 



neighborhood of Oakland owned by resi- 
dents of distant cities, notably Cincin- 
nati, Baltimore and Washington. These 
cottages are occupied every summer 
and their owners claim the climate is 
the most delightful to be found. 

The well laid out driveways through 
" The Glades " connect these three beau- 
tiful mountain retreats and a delightful 
sociability is thus formed. A very im-

splendid "Mountain Lake Park Hotel" 
and the "Loch Lynn Heights Hotel." 
Besides these there are six or seven 
smaller hotels and many good boarding 
houses which help to take care of the 
summer guests. There are also nearly 
two hundred cottages which are occu- 
pied throughout the entire summer. 

Oakland en|oys the highest altitude 
of these sister resorts. It is on the very 
crest of the Alleghenies at the western 
end of "The Glades." It also boasts 
of a splendid hotel with spacious grounds 
and most delightful accommodations for 
several hundred people. The town of 
Oakland has a regular population of fif- 
teen hundred people and is a thriving 
little business city. It contains many 
beautiful homes and is a most pictur- 
esque mountain city. There are innu- 
merable lovely private cottages in the

portant point in favor of these resorts is 
the enjoyable scenery through which the 
visitor must pass in order to reach them. 
Coming from the west the railway com- 
mences its mountain climbing at Graf- 
ton, West Virginia, and for forty-eight 
miles the scenery along the Cheat River 
is the grandest and wildest in the Alle- 
gheny Mountains. The road entwines 
the mountain's side like a serpent, and 



for a hundred and fifty miles. What a 
treat for the traveler! The Potomac lays 
before him, a beautiful illustrated book 
of history from whose rippling waters, 
old-fashioned bridges and mountain- 
ous banks the traveler reads page upon 
page of American history covering a 
century and a half.

magnificent distances and depths un- 
fold in panoramic bewilderment. The 
furious Cheat rushes and foams below 
and then again spreads out in the calmest 
and most placid of streams. It is never 
lost sight of until Terra Alta (High 
Earth) is reached. 

From the east, after leaving Wash- 
ington, the railway soon hails its fellow 
traveler, the beautiful Potomac River, 
and the two are inseparable companions 



Ferry, the road and river cling gleefully 
together, conspiring against the traveler 
for the grand mountain denouement. 
Suddenly the train dashes into the tun- 
nel through the great mountain barrier 
of Maryland Heights. For a minute all 
is total darkness and then with a flash 
the most beautiful mountain scene in 
America is unfokled to him. This is 
Harper's Ferry, the eastern side of the 
Allegheny range.

The quaint village is well adapted as 
a retreat in every sense of the word. For 
pure mountain scenery it is unexcelled. 
The Shenandoah on one side, the 
Potomac on the other, with Bolivar 
Heights between, forms a picture which 
has delighted more ''camera hunters" 
than any other scenic or historic spot. 

Forty miles west of Harper's Ferry 
is the little city of Hancock, West Vir- 
ginia. It is the gateway to Berkeley 
Springs, which lies six miles to the south- 
ward also on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- 
road. This resort is one of the oldest in 
the country and was patronized by the 
Washingtons, Fairfaxes and other fami- 



lies of historic fame. Five springs bub- 
ble forth an unceasing supply of clear, 
crystalline, tasteless water of wonderful 
nietlicinal properties. The state of West 
Virginia has fitted up bath houses and 
provided them with every known appur- 
tenance to assist in securing the benehts 
derived from the healing waters. The 
excellent hotel, which has been so pop- 
ular for years, burned down in March 
of the present year but steps were at 
once taken to rebuild with every mod- 
ern improvement before the coming 
season. Most delightful trout fishing 
is found in the mountain streams which 
abound nearby.

What is the voice I hear 

On thf winds of the Western sea? 
SentineL listen from out Cape Clear 

And say what the voice may be. 

'Tis a proud, free people calling loud to a people jiroud and free. 

And it says, "Kinsmen, hail, we severed have been too long. 
Now let us have done with a worn-out tale — 

The tale of an ancient wrong ; 
And our friendship last long as love doth last. 

And be stronger than death is strong." 

Answer them, sons of the self-same race, 

And blood of the self-same clan ; 
Let us speak with each other face to face. 

And answer as man to man ; 
And loyally love and trust each other as none but freemen can. 

Now fling them out the breeze. 

Shamrock, thistle and rose; 
And the star-spangled banner unfurl with these — 

A message to friends and foes. 
Wherever the sails of peace are seen and wherever the war wind 
blows. 

A message to bond and thrall to wake, 

P'or, wherever we come, we twain. 
The throne of the tyrant shall rock and quake, 

And his menace be void and vain ; 
For you are lords of a strong, young land, we are lords of the 
main. 

Yes, this is the voice on the bluff March gale, 

We severed have been too long. 
But now we have done with a worn out tale — 

The tale of an ancient wrong ; 
And our friendship last long as love doth last. 

And be stronger than death is strong.

"LIFE WITHOUT LOVE." 

r.\ ARIHIR (;. I.F.WIS. 

T IFE without love is like day without sunshine, 
^—' Roses bereft of sweet nature's perfume: 
Love is the guide mark to those who are weary 
Of waiting and watching in darkness and gloom. 

Love, to the heart, is like dew drops to violets, 
Left on the dust-ridden roadside to die, 

Love leads the way to our highest endeavors, 
Lightens and lessens the pain of each sigh. 

Life without love is like Spring without flowers, 
Brook-streams that move not, or star-bereft sky. 

Love creates efforts most worthy and noble. 
Prompts us to live and resigns us to die.

CHICACO NEWS lUJREAU. 



PNORMITIES of any character at- 
■'--' tract attention and for large figures 
there is no better place to look than in 
the records of the railroads for a year in 
the United States. 

In the first place there are 240,129 
miles of track or 480,258 miles of rail. 
At 5o pounds to the yard this rail weighs 
about 105,600 pounds or about 53 tons 
to the mile. Then the total track in the 
country weighs over 25,000,000 tons or 
25.453.674 pounds. 

The freight movement mileage in 
the United States last year was 93,885,- 
853,634 or equivalent to carrying one 
ton 3,755,434 times around the globe. 

The passenger movement mileage 
was 13,044,840,243 or equivalent to car- 
rying a man 521,793 times around the 
globe or around 1402 times a day for a 
year or 35,050,000 miles in 24 hours, 
which is 1,460,000 miles an hour at the 
rate of 405 miles a second. In other 
words our passenger trains carried 
nearly thirteen times as many passen- 
gers one mile as there are human beings 
on this earth. 

The weight of freight handled was 
773,868,716 tons or 1,547,737,432,000 
pounds. This was carried by 36,080 
locomotives which is equivalent to the 
power that would be exerted by 36,080,- 
000 horses. This is over twice the num- 
ber of horses in use on farms in the United 
States, estimated by the department of 
agriculture in i8g6 to be 15,124,057. 

Each horse's share of the tonnage 
moved in the United States would be 
about twenty-one tons or 42,000 pounds. 
If the horses were 8 feet in length they 
would make a tandem team twice around 
the globe with about 3,079,560 horses 
left. 

If the railroad capital invested in 
the United States, according to con- 
struction accounts $9,953,767,710, were 
to be invested in a sufficient number of 
horses and wagons to do the work done 
by the locomotives and cars of the coun- 
try each rig would have cost S275 or 
thereabouts. However if the amount 
of capital invested in locomotives at an 
average of about $10,000 or $360,800,- 
000 were to be put into a sufficient 
number of horses to do the work of our 



locomotives horses would cost about 
Sio apiece, or thereabouts. 

The number of miles of railroad in 
the United States is about 182,000, or 
over seven times around the globe. The 
average length of a freight car is about 
35 feet, so the 1,250,000 in service in 
this country would make a train about 
8,333 niiles long. A freight train of 75 
cars is about half a mile long. Adding 
to the length of freight cars that of 24,- 
788 passenger cars and 7,839 baggage 
cars we have about 8,700 miles of cars, 
or with the locomotives, a train of about 
10,000 miles in length. The freight 
cars alone would blockade every foot of 
mileage of the New England States with 
enough to spare to connect New York 
and Chicago and encircle the two cities. 

The number of passengers carried 
last year was 535,000,000 or over seven 
times the population of the country. 
These people traveled over 13,000,000,- 
000 miles. It is about 93,000,000 miles 
to the sun. Then if one man had used 
the mileage traveled by his fellow citi- 
zens he could have taken seventy trips 
to old Sol. By that time if he was tired 
of the trip he could go to the moon six- 
teen times and leave a 40,000 mileage 
book to his heirs if he happened to land 
too hard on his return to terra firma. As 
for baggage, our planet trotter could 
have taken two tons of it every where 
he went during the year to use up the 
power of the force that was directing 
his course. 

If the total traffic revenue of the rail- 
roads of the country had been divided 
equally among our 72,000,000 people, 
each man, woman and child would have 
received about $16.07 apiece. Then if 
the people were to pay the operating 
expenses of the railroads they would 
have left $6.23 apiece. Then if they 
paid fixed charges, interest and money 
borrowed to complete the roads and on 
outstanding obligations, and rents and 
taxes, they would have left $1.32 apiece. 
This without paying any return of the 
$5,373, 187,819 capital stock of the rail- 
roads. If they paid the dividends, 
about 1. 14 per cent, they would have 
left 16 cents apiece; if they paid 1.24 
per cent, pretty poor return on capital.

they wouldn't have a pt'nns' left, or if 
tlie population of the coiniti\' is made 
up of families of about 3 on an average, 
each family would have Nn cents surplus 
or about S i 1 .000,01:0 reported for iSi,- 
000 miles of railroad. As it was, Sj6,- 
620 employes received S4bN, 824,531 for 
their services to the railroads directly, 
or S567 a year apiece on an average, 
and indirectly it is estimated that lu,- 
000.000 persons were supported by the 
railroads and the industries that depen<l 
for their existence upon the railroads. 

The average distance that a ton of 
freight was moved last year by the rail- 
roads was about 121 miles and the 
amount received for this service was 
about $1.00 or about .S of a cent a mile. 
There were 454 men employed in railway 
service to every 100 miles of line, or a 
man for every 70 rods. 

If the sum paid the general ofificers 
of the railroads of this country in salaries 
last year had been added to the amount 
paid all classes of employes e.xclusive of 
the officers and the latter had been paid 
the average for the number employed, the 
wages of the great arm\- of railway 
workers exclusive of the general officers 
of the road, would have been increased 
Si 2 a year apiece. The average received, 
taking officers and men, was S567 a year 
June 30, ilSgG, by the last report of the 
Inter-State Commerce Commission. 
The 5,372 general officers received 
Si 2.497.957. Then the total employes 
actually received S555 a year on the aver- 
age, and with all paid alike all would 
have received S567 apiece, officers and 
men. Again, put the salaries of the 
general officers and all other officers 
into the total paid and pay all the 
same yearl}' compensation, and the 
pay of all classes of railway employes 
over the amount they actually received 
annually, J>55i, would have been S16 a 
year, all officers and men paid alike. 
For the 3(15 days of the year that the 
men must live while they work about 
300 days, this would give each employe 
a little over four cents a day more than 
he now receives and little over five cents 
a day more than he actually receives, on 
an average for his working days. Abol- 
ish all officers and divide between the 
818,184 other employes of the railroads 
their salaries, and each employe would 
receive ^573 annuall}' on the average in- 



stead of ^351 that he alreai.l\ receives 
now, or >22 a year lietter pay — about 
seven cents a da\' better than is now 
paid. 

The amount paid in dividends by the 
English companies on about one-third 
the capital of the American lines was, 
$24,000,000 less than the amount paid 
in dividends here. The amount paid in 
labor, however, was $371,00(1,(1(10 less. 
The payments for labor in h^ngland 
were 155 per cent ot the divi(len(ls. In 
Ami^rica they were 535 per cent. Or to 
put it in another form, for every dollar 
paid to the stockhohlers in England, 
labor received Si. 55; for e\ery dollar 
paid to the stockholders in America, 
labor received §5.35. 

For every dollar paid to the bond- 
holders ( or what is the equivalent there- 
of), in England labor received 98 cents. 
For every dollar paid to the bond-holders 
in America, labor received Si-iv 

For every dollar paid in England as 
dividend and fixed charge on capital 
combined labor received 51 cents. In 
America it received $i.oS. 

Labor in England received only 31 
per Cent of what goes to capital. In 
America capital received less than labor. 

In England labor constituted 46.89 
per cent of the operating expenses. In 
America 60. (>5 per cent of the operating 
expenses went to labor. 

If a man can carry i,oi"i pounils one 
mile every day for 31 1 da\s a year, rest- 
ing Sundays, which is more than most 
men would undertake to do, he can 
carry 15O 3 tons one mile in a j-ear. It 
would take over 80,000,000 men to do 
the work the railroads last year at this 
rate. 

If each man were mo\ing his burden 
in one direction he would have to walk 
20 miles a day if he carried a 50-pound 
burden. Then each of the 80,000,000 
men would have to walk (1,260 miles a 
year liesides carrying 95,328,360,278 
tons burden between them. Few men 
would undertake to walk from New 
York to San Francisco and back again 
in a year, even without a burden of 50 
pounds to carry. 

If these 80,000,000 men were told 
that they would be paid for their labor 
$786,615,837. the total freight revenue 
last year paid the railroads, they would 
count $9.83 a year, pretty poor pay. 



THE DARE-DEVIL VOUCH. 

BY FRANK COWAN. 

"VXT'HERE the bluff Allegfienies rise rugged and rough, 

'* And fetters and bars for a continent forge, 
There dashes defiant the dare-devil Yough, 

Through rocky ravine, deep dell and grim gorge. 
To this river I drink ; for akin to my blood 

Is its torrent so bold and so buoyant and free ; 
Braving bowlder and crag with impetuous flood, 

As onward resistless it rolls to the sea. 

And here's to the man with a will like the Yough, — 

A will that would wield as a weapon the world. 
Daring all, and defying even death with a scoff. 

When over the brink of decision he's hurled. 
'Tis the man that I love, the bold and the brave. 

Converging his might to the channel of aim ; 
From the mountain of life to the gulf of the grave, 

Rolling on like the Yough to the ocean of fame! 

And here's to the woman aflood with the tide 

That bursts from the mountain-height's fountain of love,. 
On whose billows the barks of futurity glide 

Until anchored in bliss in eternity's cove. 
'Tis the woman I love ; and the free bounding wave 

That breaks in the course of my hot throbbing blood 
Is the might of the love in return that she gave — 

A might that's akin to the Yough's rushing flood! 



SUNSHINK THRO' THE RAIN. 

H\ ARIHIK I'.. I.F.\\1>. 

COME,lift3'ourhead,those pretty eyes 
Should ne'er be dimmed with tears. 
This world is not all cruel and cold, 

Nor life all trials and fears. 
Let me, my loved one, bear thy cross 

And share thy every pain. 
Then soon you'll see the bright warm 
sun 
Come shining thro' the rain. 

"For every cloud is silver lined," 

And when the storm has passed 
Our lives look brighter through the 
gloom — 

The tempest's shadows cast. 
Your star of hope will soon appear : 

The dark sky clear again, 
And soon you'll see the bright warm sun 

Come shining thro' the rain. 

The fairest flowers that bloom in Spring, 

With Winter, fade and die ; 
There is no joy without its grief. 

No smile without its sigh. 
So let us look beyond the clouds 

And cling to hope again. 
Until we see the bright warm sun 

Come shining thro' the rain. 



LOVE AND WAR. 



BY WIM.IA.M ELLIOTT LOWES. 



CE\'EN miles out of Memphis, on the 
^ old pike leading from Nashville, 
stands a quaint old fashioned southern 
home, with its broad veranda and colo- 
nial pillars now partly crumbled away 
with age. The fence which surrounds 
it, a modern picket structure, barely 
gives breathing room for the old house, 
which in its early days stood out and 
alone from other houses, the manor 
house of a great plantation. In spite 
of its age, there is a grand old dignity 
about it which naturally excites the in- 
terest of the visitor to the pretty little 
suburban village wherein it stands. 
Connected with it, as with many other 
houses in the South, is a romance sad 
but strangely beautiful. 

The story is the old one of love and 
war. The time was 1862, when the 
Union Army had taken possession of 
Memphis, and many troops were sta- 
tioned in the vicinity of this important 
river town. 

Lieutenant West, of the — th Indiana 
Cavalry, had barely passed his nine- 
teenth birthday. He was only one of 
the many chivalrous young fellows who 
cast their lots with the fortunes of war. 
He ran away from his home in Ohio and 
joined a regiment of volunteer cavalry 
from Indiana, which had been made up 
of many of his relatives and friends; 
and it may be truly said that it might 
have been more for the love of excite- 
ment than patriotism which prompted 
him to swear falsely to his age when 
he joined the ranks; but nevertheless he 
served four years and endured all the 
hardships of war without the slightest 
desire to return home. He did not 
seem to realize the dangers of war per- 
sonally, but day by day looked forward 
to some new honor. 

So far fortune liad favored him; he 
had been advanced from a private to the 
rank of second lieutenant and he keenly 
enjoyed his favoritism amongst his com- 
rades and the honors bestowed upon him. 

Fate then took a hand. His regiment 
had encamped several times within the 
vicinity of Memphis and he began to 
feel at home in that section of the coun- 



try. The cjuaint old house was then the 
magnificent home of an officer in the 
Confederate Army who was away with 
his regiment near Richmond. The family 
at home consisted of the mother and two 
young lady daughters and the usual con- 
tingent of negro servants. This home 
had been continually under the protec- 
tion of the Union Army, and its inhabi- 
tants had learned to feel no fear of 
injury of any sort, except the devastation 
of their granaries and fields. 

It fell to the duty of Lieutenant West 
in the latter part of '61 to make the ac- 
quaintance of the family, and his manly 
character had completely captured the 
hearts of mother and daughters. The 
elder daughter was a famous southern 
beauty and in spite of their political 
differences, these two people plighted 
their love. Shortly after the engage- 
ment had been announced, the Union 
forces were withdrawn far to the East 
and young Lieutenant West was 
wounded in the second Battle of Bull 
Run. It was supposed he was killed and 
the report to army headquarters was to 
that effect, but instead he had been 
taken to the hospital camp in delirium, 
his uniform removed on the field by the 
surgeon and he had been entered on the 
hospital register as " unknown." 

At this time his father, who was then 
at Baltimore, received a telegram that 
while young West was reported dead, 
there was no conclusive proof that such 
was the case and that many of the sol- 
diers in that campaign were in hospital 
at Manassas Junction. The father ob- 
tained a furlough and went immediately 
in search of his son and by visiting tent 
after tent, found him the very day the de- 
lirium had left him. The father inmiedi- 
ately applied for his son's discharge but 
the latter refused to accept it, declaring 
that he would join his company as soon 
as he was well enough. 

This he did a few weeks later at 
Memphis, where in the meantime, his 
company or what was left of them, had 
been ordered. 

This was in October of '()2. 

One morning shortly after his arrival, 



LO\E AX J) IFAJi. 



the picket lines sent in a dainty note ad- 
dressed to him and he at once recog- 
nized the writing of his sweetheart. It 
was imploring him to come to her at 
once, as the separation had been a long 
and painful one and after months of 
silence, his letter to her on his return 
was the first news she had had of him 
since the terrible conflict at Bull Run. 
The letter was full of endearment and 
begged him to come the next day for 
dinner. 

Young West, filled with all the ardor 
of a youthful lover, asked leave of ab- 
sence at once and invited his chum and 
brother officer to accompany him. This 
officer. Lieutenant Hamilton, was a man 
probably fifteen years older than him- 
self. He was a cool headed, slow think- 
ing fellow, who was cautious and pessi- 
mistic. Hamilton slowly replied that 
such a thing would not only be danger- 
ous but absolutely foolhardy just at that 
time, for "Dickey" Davis, the famous 
raider, was known to be in the vicinity 
with at least sixty men and had been 
killing off the pickets like sheep, making 
it necessary for the strictest rules to 
be enforced, keeping the men within 
the lines. Hamilton even suggested 
the thought that there might be a plan 
to ambush them. At this young West, 
who had been patiently listening to the 
counseling of the older man, resented 
and demanded an apology for even so 
much as coupling such a suggestion 
with the invitation from his sweetheart. 
Hamilton was obstinate and tried to 
point out the possibilities of such an 
adventure even though there should 
be no existing plot. A serious quarrel 
between the two old friends seemed immi- 
nent and Hamilton realizing the danger 
of further argument and sharing the 
confidence of the younger officer in his 
love affair, agreed to accompany him, 
provided they take their corporal to 
stand on guard while they were at din- 
ner. Again the younger officer ob- 
jected, claiming that the ladies would 
have reason to consider it almost an 
insult. But Hamilton would agree to 
nothing else; that war was war and cau- 
tion on a trip of that kind would be 
reasonable. 

Young West finally gave in to good 
reason and the three men started on their 
journey the next morning; West happy 



in the thought of seeing his fiance and 
Hamilton and the corporal anticipating 
a good dinner which was a rarity to them. 
Arriving at the house, West frankly 
explained to the ladies their fears and 
asked permission for their corporal to be 
allowed to remain with the horses while 
he and his friend were at dinner. Of 
course, their wish was granted, as the 
ladies knew full well what the fate of the 
men would be, should they be captured 
liy as lawless a band as " Dickey" Davis 
and his men. 

It was a happy reunion and as West 
told of his misfortunes in battle, of 
his long stay at the hospital, his sweet- 
heart listened with intense anxiet>'. 

The dinner was but half over, when 
a sudden whistle of warning from tlie 
corporal outside startled both men to 
their feet. West glanced through the 
open window in front of him, which 
commanded a view of the road, and was 
horrified to see coming over the brow of 
the hill, not three-ijuarters of a mile 
away, the band of guerrillas bearing 
down as fast as their horses could 
carry them. 

The situation was too intense for 
words. The cautious warning of Hamil- 
ton the day before ran through West's 
brain. He was speechless. Almost too 
deliberately he turned toward his sweet- 
heart as if for explanation. She, with a 
look of agony, devined his thoughts and 
fainted dead away. There was no time 
to be lost and the two men rushed for 
their horses, which the impatient corpo- 
ral was holding, and leaping into their 
saddles rode for their lives. Davis 
followed closely and fired a continual 
volley of shots after them, but without 
effect. They were without the range of 
their carbines, and as the three Union 
soldiers had fresh horses, they out- 
rode the little troop of cavalry. The 
chase was for about two miles when 
the three men separated to baifle the 
raiders. The ruse was successful, for 
the entire band stopped pursuing at 
once, fearing they had already entered 
too close to the lines of the Union forces, 
and their tired horses could not be de- 
pended upon for a hasty retreat. The 
route taken by West led him across a 
field into a dense woods and he lost his 
way entirely. Fearing to enter the field 
again, he rode further into the woods, 



LOVE AND WAR. 



hoping when night came on the glare of 
the camp-fires would enable him to find 
his way back to the lines. In this he 
was successful, and arriving at the picket 
line gave himself up for arrest, not 
knowing the countersign of the night. 
He was passed on from one picket to 
another until he reached camp, where 
he found that both of his comrades had 
arrived before the change of the guard. 

Their day's experience resulted in 
an organized campaign to trap Davis, 
which was eventually successful. 

Lieutenant West, who heretofore had 
been the most buoyant spirited man in 
the regiment, was heart-broken. He de- 
clined to talk to Hamilton, and the lat- 
ter felt as though he were guilty for 
having suggested the possibilities of such 
a calamity. 

The whole regiment was talking 
about it and everybody noticed the fear- 
ful change which had come over their 
comrade. The proud spirit of the young 
lover forbade his communicating with 
his sweetheart, yet he could not and 
would not believe her culpable of 



leading him into such a trap. His love 
burned stronger; and he determined to 
ascertain the truth from Davis himself. 

On the day of execution of the war- 
rior outlaw, West approached the boast- 
ful leader, who seeing him, said: "Well, 
young fellow, this is your inning. Had 
I as fresh a horse as you had, I might 
have officiated at your funeral instead." 
The remark stunned the poor fellow 
and his heart was chilled. He no longer 
hoped. The little diamond ring on his 
finger was hers. She had the plain 
gold band which was the soldier's token 
when their love was plighted. With a 
heavy heart he removed the sacred 
pledge and sewed it in his shirt ; it was 
.nothing to him now. 

The remaining years of the war had 
no terrors for West. It made little dif- 
ference to him when the war would 
close. He had risen to first Lieuten- 
ant and honors had come to him, but he 
had outgrown his ambition. All the 
events of four years were of little con- 
sequence to him; he could only remem- 
ber one.

npALL tree'd clilis whose verdant heatis 
-^ Rise aloft toward the turquoise sky, 
The sparkling river laughing low 

As it saucil}' ripples by. 
Crag upon crag the rocky wall 

Bound in its bands of green ; 
The stately oak and supple elm's 

Thrown back by the river's sheen. 

A path leads down to the shadowed glen 
Where the gurgling waters glide ; 

The grasses rustle — the willows bend 
In the ebb and flow of the tide. 



Beneath our feet the mossy sod, 

Flecked o'er with bars of gold — 
Where the sunshine mellow in tints of 
yellow, 

Liglits up the scene so liold. 
Over our heads the branches meet, 

And leafy twigs entwine. 
We yield to the charm of this rare re- 
treat 

Recalling an "Arcada Sublime."

' I 'HE twenty-seventh Tri-tnnial Con-

coming and great preparations are made 
for the entertainment of guests. 

Indeed, any city may well be proud 
of being chosen for a convention which 
is held but once in three years. Conse- 
quently Pittsburg has put her best step 
forward in the preparation at this early 
date 

A glimjise at the resources of the 
"Iron City," or as it used to be called. 



extensive iron and coal industries, it is 
naturally smoky, but nothing to be com- 
pared to former times, since the use of 
natural gas for fuel has superseded coal 
for general use. It is one of the most 
thriving business cities, as well as one 
of the most beautiful residence cities, of 
the United States. 

Many people who travel and whose 
only knowledge of a town is passing 



PITTSBURG. 



through it on a train, often form imper- 
fect impressions from the car window 
which they adopt as a standard of meas- 
urement for the rest of the town. Es- 
pecially so of Pittsburg, as the railways 
entering it ]iass through the manufactur- 
ing district, and mills and smoke greet 
them on every side. 

Pittsburg is built on a wedge of land, 
formed by the Allegheny River on one 
side and the Monongahela River on the 



of the city proper is estimated at about 
300,000; while if the population of its 
component parts, not within its cor- 
porate limits, were added, it would 
increase the number to at least 500,000. 
In the industrial world, it is known 
as the American center of the iron, steel, 
glass, coal and coke industries. Some 
idea of the immensity of many of these 
industries may be obtained from the 
facts that the large bessemer steel

other, which unite at the point into the 
Ohio River. It is walled in by beauti 
ful hills and is very picturesque. Across 
the Allegheny River, to the west, lies 
Allegheny City, which has a population 
of some 105,000 which practically belongs 
to Pittsburg, as do the many surround- 
ing boroughs of MrKeesport, Braddock, 
Homestead and about thirty smaller 
towns, which depend upon it commer- 
cially and financially. The population 



plant, the largest crucible steel plant, 
the largest plate glass works, the largest 
glass chimney factory, the largest pickle 
factory, the largest coke industries, the 
largest tube works, the largest manu- 
factory of glass table-ware, the largest 
and most powerful engines and pumps 
employed to pump water, and the largest 
air brake works for freight and passen- 
ger cars, in the world are at Pittsburg. 
All these, to say nothing of the immense

steel rail rolling mills, electrical appa- 
ratus manufactories, locomotive works, 
armor plate mills, tin plate works, iron 
pipe and sheet iron works, steel pro- 
jectile manufactories, etc., etc. These 
tremendous industries keep Pittsburg 
apparently in an everlasting state of 
occupation 

But "all work and no play, would 
make Jack a dull boy," and the populous 
are thoroughly educated up to this 
ma.xim. This is fully demonstrated in 
the educational institutions, public build- 



negie Library in .MleghenN', Carnegie 
Librar)', Music Hall and Museum in 
Pittsburg, and the new Phipps Con- 
servatory, the largest and most beauti- 
ful in the L^nited States. The office 
buildings and church edifices are as 
handsome as can be found in any of the 
prosperous cities of the waning nine- 
teenth century. There are two swell 
clubs, The Duquesne and Pittsburg, 
si.x theatres, si.x gymnasiums and a rid- 
ing academy. 

( )f the eight parks m the city. Schen-

ings, clubs, beautiful parks and e.Mpii- 
site homes of I'ittsburg. 

.Among the educational institutions 
are the Western University, the Penn 
sylvania College for Women, the Theo- 
logical seminaries, the Western Penn- 
sylvania Medical College, the College 
of the Holy Cihost, the School of Phar- 
macy, the Allegheny Observatory and 
the splendid public schools. Among 
the public buildings and those of promi- 
nence as to costliness, are : The Court 
House. Government Building, Car- 



le)- Park is the most beautiful. It is 
blessed with natural scenery which no 
amount of money nor landscape garden- 
ing could supply. 

The beautiful residence ])ortion of 
Pittsburg lies on a plateau of easy ac- 
cess, between the rivers and about two 
hundred feet above them in what is 
known as the "East Liberty Valley." In 
this district there are nearly one hun- 
dred miles of asphalt streets, bordered 
with shade trees and the dwellings are 
as beautiful as can be found anywhere. 



PITTSBURG. 




coKSKItVATliKV 



The great bridges, eighteen in num- 
ber, spanning the rivers, add to the 
pictiiresqueness of the city. The Smith- 
field Street Bridge; The Point Bridge 
and Twenty-Second Street Bridge over 
the Monongahela; The Sixth Street 
Bridge; Seventh Street Bridge over the 
Allegheny; and the Ohio River Con- 
necting Railroad Bridge over the Ohio 
River are especially noteworthy. 



-St'llENLEV I'ARK. 

That Pittsburg is a reading com- 
munity is proven from the statistics. 
It supports seventy-one daily, weekly, 
fortnightly and monthly newspapers, 
which include six morning dailies and 
four evening dailies. 

While statistics are rather dry as an 
ordinary thing, yet some idea of the 
principal industries of Pittsburg is given 
in the following figures: It practically

controls the Connellsville Coke regions, 
and the annual output of this impor- 
tant article is estimated at 6,300,691 
tons, which is estimated to be worth 
§11,971,232. The region covers a total 
area of 87,786 acres which are devoted 
to the manufactory of coke, and out of 
this immense number there are 75,864 
acres which are yet untouched by the 
miner's pick. 

A few figures as to oil: The oil 
fields in the neighborhood of Pitts- 



of steel; 1,188,727 tons of rails, bars, 
bolts, rods, etc., and 248,369 tons of 
sheets and plates. With these figures 
in front of us, Pittsburg alone would be 
a mighty important factor in supplying 
the Government with armor for vessels; 
and in fact everything else in iron or 
steel we might need in case of a long- 
drawn out war with Spain. 

To Pittsburg is due the credit of 
placing natural gas into harness. For 
years before its use as a general fuel, it

burg in the past four years produced 
67,905.478 barrels of highest grade. 
That means a value of $40,742,286. 
The amount produced was three-fifths 
of the entire output of the United 
States. 

There are twenty-seven blast fur- 
naces and sixty-three rolling mills and 
steel plants, and the appearance of 
these mills at night has often been re- 
ferred to as the 'Jaws of Hell." These 
mills in 1894 produced 1,775,257 tons 
of pig iron; 55,722 tons crucible steel 
ingots; 1,550,252 tons of all other kinds 



was allowed to waste itself in the atmos- 
phere in incalculable (juantities. 

The best views of the city are ob- 
tained from Mount Washington. Her- 
ring tlill Park, Grand N'iew Park and 
Mount Bigelow Highland Park, which 
are easily reached by the splendid street 
car service. 

A few historical facts add to the in- 
terest of this busy town. It claims to be 
the only city founded by George Wash- 
ington, who established a settlement 
there in 1753, which was captured by 
the I'rench in the French and Indian war 



PITTSIU'RG. 



and called "Fort DiKjuesne. " It was 
then re-captured by the British and 
named "Fort Pitt", after the distin- 
guished statesman of the times. The 
name eventually evolved into Pittshur<;. 
Concluding, a word as to the railway 
interests of the cities. It is the greatest 
railway shipping point in the world, 
which is proven from the fii;ures of the 
National Association of Car Scr\'ice 
Managers in i^igj, in which year 
1,504,13(1 car loads of freight, were 
received or shipped, and tliese figures 
do not include the tremendous river 



tonnage, which in the same year was 
j(j,7S4,723 tons. 

The Baltimore kV Ohio Railroad in- 
terests alone are tremendous. It is the 
midway station of its great eastern and 
western terminals. To the east, the 
line extends to Washington. Baltimore, 
Philadelphia and New York; to the west, 
the line extends direct to Chicago; while 
still another line extends to Columbus, 
Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Louis 
This one railroad alone allords excellent 
shipping facilities to every important 
city in the United States. from Pitt^burg.

VES, sir, I fouglit with Stonewall, 

-^ And faced the fight with Lee; 

But if this here I'nion goes to war. 

Make one more gun for me! 
I didn't shrink from Sherman, 

As he galloped to the sea; 
But if this here Union goes to war. 

Make one more gun for me! 

I was with 'em at Manassas — 

The bully Boys in Gray; 
I heard the thunderers roarin' 

Round Stonewall Jackson's way; 
And man\' a time this sword of mine 

Has blazed the way for I^ee; 
But if this Nation goes to war. 

Make one more sword for me! 

I'm not so lull o' fightin', 

Nor half so full o' fun, 
As I was back in the sixties 

When I shouldered my old gun ; 
It may be that my hair is white — 

Sicii things, you know, must be, 
But if this old Union's in for war. 

Make one more gun for me! 

I hain't forgot my raisin' — 

Nor how, in sixty-two. 
Or thereabouts, with battle shouts, 

I charged the Boys in Blue; 
And I say: I fought with Stonewall. 

And blazed the way for Lee; 
But if this old Union's in for war, 

Make one more gun for me'

JI'ST make it two old fellow, 
I want to stand once more 
Beneath the old flag with you 

As in the days of yore. 
Our fathers stood together 

And fought on land and sea 
The battles fierce that made us 
A Nation of the free. 

I whipped you down at Vicksburg, 

You licked me at Bull Run: 
On many a field we struggled. 

When neither victory won. 
You wore the gray of Southland, 

I wore the Northern blue: 
Like men we did our duty 

When screaming bullets flew. 

Four years we fought like devils, 

But when the war was done 
"\'our hand met mine in friendly clasp, 

Our two hearts beat as one 
And now when danger threatens, 

No North, no South, we know. 
Once more we stand together 

To fight the common foe. 

My head, like yours is frosty — 

Old age is creeping on; 
Life's sun is lower sinking, 

My day will soon be gone. 
But if our country's honor 

Needs once again her son, 
I'm ready, too, old fellow — 

So get another gun.

with the type matter and printed direct 
from the wood. This method was dis- 
continued many years ago, having served 
its time, when the new method of print- 
ing from stereotyped rollers came in 
vogue. 



of tlie plaster of Paris and preparing the 
plates has everything to do with perfect 
results. When this coating of chalk 
has been placed on the plate, it is left 
to dry and harden thoroughly. The 
plates are then kept in a dry place that 
the chalk ma\- become brittle. When an 
illustration is desired, the artist uses a 
sharp pointed stylus in drawing the 
picture in the chalk, cutting through 
the coating to the steel plate. The

As the wood engraving required much 
time in preparation, it was superseded 
by the chalk plate, and this method is 
still pursued, especially where immedi- 
ate residts are desired. The making 
of a chalk plate illustration is inter- 
esting. The artist has prepared before- 
hand and ready for use, a number of 
thin steel plates, whose surfaces are 
perfectly smooth and highly polished. 
These plates are covered with a thin 
coating of plaster of Paris to the depth 
of about 1-32 of an inch. The mixing 



drawing finished, the plate is then used 
as a matrix in the usual method of stere- 
otyping, wherein the molten lead is 
poured over the matri.x, making a type 
in which the bas relief of the picture is 
formed. The process of stereotyping is 
very quick, requiring only from five to 
seven minutes to complete a type ready 
for use. 

There are many records of swift work 
done in this manner. In one instance, 
an illustrating artist for a newspaper 
was given a subject for illustration and

the picture was drawn, stereotyped, put 
into the newspaper forms and run in 
the regular edition of the paper in less 
than thirty minutes. 

Another method which has greatly 
superseded chalk plates is the zinc 
etching. The artist draws the illustra- 
tion in black India ink on white paper. 
A photographic negative is made of 
the picture and transmitted to a zinc 
plate prepared to receive the impres- 
sion. The impression on the zinc is 
then covered with a prepared ink which 



cut always shows the best results. 
Where the lines in a cut are close to- 
gether, the chances are that the ink will 
fill the meshes and blur the prints. But 
even this detriment is fast being over- 
come. The splendid new machinery in 
newspaper presses, the good quality of 
paper used by the better class of daily 
papers, makes it possible to include 
■'half tones" in their daily runs. 

The "half-tone" is the most modern 
method and in fact the most perfect 
method yet discovered for giving abso-

adheres to the picture, leaving the bal- 
ance of the plate clean, and the plate is 
then submitted to a nitric acid bath, 
until the zinc has been eaten away to 
the depth of 1-32 of an inch, leaving the 
protected picture in relief. This process 
is used principally in line drawings. 

All illustrations are commonly re- 
ferred to as "cuts," the word naturally 
originating with the engraver. 

It may be explained that daily news- 
paper presses are run at a very high 
rate of speed and consequent])' an open 



lutely correct pictures. The half-tone is 
an exact reproduction of a photograph. 
By means of it, anj' detail may be repro- 
duced. The process of making them 
has become a business in itself, although 
every well directed daily newspaper now 
has a complete photographing outfit and 
engraving department prepared to make 
its own half-tones. The engraver em- 
ployed in charge of this department 
is selected on account of his versa- 
tility in this profession, as he may be 
called upon to make any kind of illus-

tration. For instance, a photograph is 
handed him for reproduction by half- 
tone. He proceeds at once to make a 
photographic negative the exact size he 
desires the half-tone to be. In making 
this negative he uses a screen between 
the camera lens and the wet plate, in 
order to give a broken surface to the 
half-tone, thus making it possible to ob- 
tain definite impressions from it. The 
"screen" is a sheet of glass on which 
lines are cut at equal distances apart, 
at right angles, making a succession 



much the same manner as the zinc plate. 
The illustrations accompanying this 
article are half tones made with an 
eighty line screen, and it will be noticed 
that they have a coarser appearance 
than some of the very beautiful half- 
tones which appear from time to time in 
the "Book of the Royal Blue." The 
majority of persons who do not under- 
stand the making of half-tones would 
naturally say these pictures are inferior; 
but had they been made with a one hun- 
dred and fifty line screen they would have

of squares. These squares appear in 
the new negative. If the half-tone is 
for the ordinary newspaper the en- 
graver uses a screen consisting of eighty 
to one hundred lines to the inch. If 
the half-tone is for fine work a screen 
of one hundred and thirty-three to one 
hundred and seventy-five lines to the 
inch is used. The new negative is then 
used to make an impression on a highly 
finished copper plate, whose surface is 
prepared to receive a photographic im- 
pression. After the impression has been 
transmitted, the plate is etched after 



shown more detail and have been much 
handsomer in appearance because the pa- 
per on which this book is printed is enam- 
eled and very heavy. These cuts were es- 
pecially prepared for an Art Supplement 
of a syndicate of newspapers and used 
on rapid presses. Had they been made 
with a finer screen instead of the coarser 
one, the impressions would have become 
blurred and almost indistinguishable.

& Ohio Railroad.

THE "STAR SPANGLED 15ANNER" AND FORT McHENRY. 



EV FRANK H. KKLLEV. 



TN Mount Olivet Cemetery, at Fred- 

erick City, Md., on the Baltimore & 
Ohio Railroad, near the place of his birth 
and within view of the Catoctin Moun- 
tain, lies buried in a lowly grave Francis 
Scott Key, the author of the grandest 
hymn sung in the hearts and throats of 
a Nation envied by the whole world. 

It was written in just such a time as 
this, when the Nation was at battle with 
a foreign foe and the love for the -Stars 
and Strijies" inspired patriotic music in 
the souls of men. 

Associated with the song is the bom- 
bardment of Fort McHenry, Baltimore, 
by the British, on September lo, 1814, 
and the song and fort are handed down 
in history together. 

The circumstances under which the 
"Star Spangled Banner" was written is 
forever interesting. Francis Scott Key 
was the son of John Ross Key, a Revo- 
lutionary officer, and was born near 
Double Pipe Creek, Frederick County, 
Maryland, on August g, 1780. He was 
educated at Anna]iolis. where he 
studied law and afterwards practiced at 
Frederick City, Md. (where he was ad- 
mitted to the bar) imtil icSoi, when he 
removed to the District of Columbia. 
There he served as District Attorney 
under General Andrew Jackson. It 
has not been definitely recorded by 
his historians whether he lived in Balti- 
more at the time of tlie bombardment 
of the city, but the records show that 
he, accompanied by one John S. Skin- 
ner, had been commissioned to visit the 
cartel-ship "Minden'" of the British Fleet 
to obtain the release of several prison- 
ers, among them Dr. Beanes, of Upper 
Marlboro, Md., who had been arrested 
and taken prisoner to the fleet for his 
sympathies with the American cause. 
Key interceded in his behalf and was 
successful in obtaining the release of 
the prisoners. When about to take leave 
they were informed that they would be 
detained until the attack on Baltimore 
was over. They were transferred to the 
frigate "Surprise," taken up the Patap- 
sco and sent on board their own vessel, 
being permitted to take Dr. Beanes with 
them, but all were kept under guard to 
prevent them from landing and giving 
any information in regard to the British 
Fleet. There they remained during the 



night of September 1 3th, when the battle 
between the ships and fort was at its 
height. The anxiety of the prisoners 
was intense, as they strained their eyes 
for glimpses of the starry banner which 
occasionally appeared through the 
Hashes of fire from the bursting shells 
and the batteries of the fort. The bom- 
bardment ceased sometime before day- 
light and as the prisoners had no com- 
munication with the enemies' ships they 
did not know whether the fort had sur- 
rendered or the attack upon it had been 
abandoned. It was during this season of 
intense anxiety that Key. who was a 
man of great emotional temperament, 
conceived the song which has made him 
immortal. Impatiently he ))aced thedeck 
and watched for the dawn, when in the 
dim light of the September morn, he 
caught the first glimpse of the flag, for 
which he had so anxiously waited. With- 
drawing a letter from his pocket, he pen- 
ciled upon the back of it the opening 
lines of the poem and some few memor- 
anda of his thoughts. He completed the 
poem in the small boat which conveyed 
him to shore. The next morning he 
showed the verses to Judge Nicholson, 
who was greatly pleased with them, and 
who took them at once to the office of 
"The Baltimore American." 

The following is a photographic re- 
production of the poem as it appeared 
in that paper;

The "Star Spangled Banner" was 
set to music to the tune of 'Anacreon 
in Heaven" by Ferdinand Durang, an 
actor, and it was first sung b)' his brother, 
Charles, in a tavern adjoining the Holli- 
day Street Theatre in Baltimore. He 
next sang it from the stage of the thea- 
tre, where it immediately took the pop- 
ular fancy, and attained a National repu- 
tation.

It is interesting to recall the fact that 
this flag had fifteen stars and fifteen 
bars, eight red and seven white, repre-

To the memory of Francis Scott 
Key, the Key Monument Association of 
Frederick City, Md,, was incorporated 
in 1895 to receive contributions towards 
the erection of a suitable shaft to mark

apprehension entertained at the time of 
another conflict with Great Britain they 
were [lut at the disposal of the Federal 
Government by the Maryland Legis-

was taken up in the City of Baltimore 
and with money thus raised and a S20,-

tpLOW softly, Potomac; touch gently the IJanks 

Where heroes are mustered in motionless ranks; 
Caressing the shore of their resting place, sweep 
With wavelets unbroken and still as their sleep. 
Come silent, ye breezes that gather perfume 
From hillsides and dells that bright blossoms illume. 
To shed on the couches of brave boys asleep, 
.And sweetens the dews that the wood spirits weep. 

Hush! all; for we hearken for footfalls to-day. 
Of spirits in ranks and in martial array — 
The cadence of tread of invisible feet 
Here marching their comrades yet living to meet. 
List! all; for their steps in our hearts we ma\' feel, 
The sense of their presence may over us steal. 
Although to our ears may be wafted no sound 
Of step or of voice as they gather around. 

The courage that lived through the anguish of death. 
Devotion exhaled on their last flitting breath. 
The love of their country that caused them their lives 
And bitterest tears for their mothers and wives. 
Shall quicken our souls if we meet them aright, 
With them touching elbows as oft in the fight— 
Their valor this realm of their resting pervades 
And hallows each nook of these loveliest glades. 

So, silent we wait, that our spirits may blend 

With theirs in the love that endures to the end; 

The fervor of zeal for our beautiful land 

That leads to the tray at her honor's demand. 

The loyalty deeming no sacrifice dear 

That guards her and saves her when foeinen appear. 

The fortitude full of the conquering might 

That forwards her flag through the furious ilight. 

Most fitting it is that the sod of this place 

Should cover their dust with its beauty and L;race; 

That here the primeval and towering trees 

Should cull for our brave ones the sweets of the breeze. 

The grand dome above of the beautiful blue 

And clouds opalescent with every hue 

Are over no spot on this green flowery earth 

Where beauty and sweetness more perfect have birth. 

The beauty of manly, courageous youth. 

With countenance speaking of virtue and truth: 

The sweetness of national love above all 

The passions and loves that the young heart enthrall ; 

Are fitly enshrined in dear Arlington's bowers 

Her beauty of verdure and sweetness of flowers; 

And tears that were shed when tluse gallant boys fell 

Should freshen forever tlie spot where they dwell.

Nor e\en remembrance in stone-graven name 
That heroes arise at the nation's command 
And lay down their all for the dear native land. 

Oh, beautiful Arlington, national shrine;

nPHI'L meeting of the National Educa-

place of meeting is one of such national 
importance at the present time. 

The hotel and boarding houses of 
Washington at all times are crowded, 
and since the war with Spain the ho-

streets, Northwest. Mr. John Hitz is 
secretary of the local committee, and by 
addressing him full information as to 
accommodations can be obtained.

visit to the Volta Bureau, establisiied 
for the increase and diffusion of knowl- 
edge relating to the deaf. This bureau

who contemplate a visit in July would 
do well to make their arrangements and 
secure their accommodations as early as

invention or discovery was bioui;ht to 
the attention of the public, and it was 
to be known as the \'olta prize in honur 
of the philosopher referred to. Its ob- 
ject is to encourage research and in- 
vention for the l)enefit of hunianit\. 
It has only lieen awarded thne or 
four times since the custom was estab- 
lished. 

In the year iSSu thi/ prize was votid 
to Dr. .Vlexander Graham Bell, tlie 
inventor of the telephone, as an appro- 
priate acknowledgment of the great 
value of his invention and ■ lectrical 



illustration, is one worthy' of a visit troin 
every instructor or teacher in the land. 
Another special feature of the X. E. 
A. meeting will be the delightful side 
trips from Washington. On [ulyijthto 
1 6th side trips will be run to Baltimore, 
Gettxsburg. Norfolk (\'a. ). Ocean City 
(Aid.). Old Point Comfort (Va.). and to 
Harper s I'erry an<l points in the beau- 
tiful Shenandoah \ alley, along the line

researches. Dr. Bell, being already- in 
aftluential circumstances, upon receiving 
the prize, set it aside to the benefit of 
the deaf, in whose welfare he liad lor 
many years taken a great interest, and 
with it established the -Volta Fund," 
in the organization of the Volta Bureau, 
which collects all valuable information 
that can be obtained with reference to 
deaf mutes. The bureau contains al- 
most everything pertaining to the edu- 
cation of the deaf. 

The handsome an<i substantial olfici' 
building of the \'olta Bureau, as sliown in 



observation cars. There are two of these 
pamphlets issued — one covers the line 
from Cincinnati to Washington en route 
from St. Louis, and the other from Pitts- 
burg to Washington en route from Chi- 
cago. The P.altimore \- Ohio has two 
beautiful scenic routes through the Alle- 
ghenies, meeting at Cumberland, both 
iif which are as distinctly beautiful as 
could possilily lie imagined. 

Any information that teachers ma)' 
desire will be cheerfully furnished upon 
application to any official of the Balti- 
more I.V- Ohio Kailroad.

THE HLSTORIC SIXTH MA.SSACH I'.SIiTT.S. 



"XTriTH the exception of Dewey's great 
^ victory at Manila and Hobson's 
daring exploit at Santiago, there has been 
no more impressive event since the war 
with Spain than the triumphal march 
of the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment 
through the streets of Baltimore, on Sat- 
urday. May 2 1 St, iSgSjCn route from Bos- 
ton to Washington. This date will form 
an important part in future histor}', in 
grand contrast to April 19, iSbi, when 
the same regiment passed through the 
same city on a call to arms from the Na- 
tion's capital. In '61 they were greeted 
with hisses, stones, missiles and shots 
from an angry and unmanageable mob. 
In '98 they were tendered a reception 
that has no parallel in the history of the 
Union. This time they were given a 
welcoming reception which bewildered 
them, so great was the enthusiasm. 
Twenty thousand people met them at 
the station, and showers of flowers, and 
fruits and flags, and cheer upon cheer 
greeted them, and in one grand, supreme 
moment the world was given to under- 
stand that all sectional differences in 
this country of ours were blotted out 
forever. 

New England and Dixie — 
Massachusetts and Maryland — 
Boston and lialtiniore — 
The North and the South — 
The "Yank "and the -'Johnnie" — 
are but one people, with -'One Flag, 
One Country, One Destiny, Brothers 
Forevermore." 

On Friday when the officers of the 
Sixth learned they were to pass through 
Baltimore on their way to Camp Alger 
at Dunn Loring, Virginia, they wired 
the mayor of Baltimore for permission 



to inarch through the city from one rail- 
way station to the other and thus repeat 
history. The news spread like wildfire, 
and preparations were begun at once for 
a grand reception. 

Early on Saturday morning the en- 
tire city had learned of their coming, 
and hours before their arrival great 
crowds had gathered at Mount Koyal, 
the beautiful uptown station of the 
Baltimore lV: Ohio Railroad, where the 
troops were to leave their trains. 

The superb station, which is the 
most magnificent railwa)- station owned 
by any single railway company in the 
United States, was gay with flags and 
bunting, a force of men having been at 
work decorating all the night before. 
From the top of the clock tower to the 
porte-cochere beneath and intertwined 
in the stone railing of the balcony hung 
the beautiful silk pennant of the cruiser 
Baltimore, which was presented to the 
city by the officers and men of that 
now famous war vessel. Around the 
balcony were three mammoth flags with 
the coat-of-arms of Massachusetts and 
Maryland. 

In the train shed the great iron fenc- 
ing was aglow with bunting and the 
•'Stars and Stripes." Each gateway was 
guarded with a banner inscribed with 
an appropriate quotation, and the Massa- 
chusetts men felt a thrill of pride when 
they recognized their illustrious Daniel 
Webster in : ''I shall enter on no enco- 
mium upon Massachusetts. She needs 
none. There she is. Behold her and 
judge for 3-ourself. I'here is her history; 
the world knows it by heart." And this 
also: "Liberty and Union. Now and 
I'orever. One and Inseparable. " And 



THE HISTORIC SIXTH MASSACHUSETTS. 



another; "Welcome, Sixth Massa- 
chusetts. This is May 21, 1S98, not 
April 19. 1861." An immense silk flag 
sixty feet in length formed a canopy 
under which the soldiers were to march 
in leaving the train sheds to the grand 
plaza in front. 

The station, which is below the 
street level, is in the center of a beauti- 
ful park of exquisite lawns whose sides 
slope gently to the center, forming a 
perfect amphitheatre for such an occa- 
sion. On these grassy slopes fully 
twenty thousand people in gay attire 
with bunches of flowers and flags had 
gathered to give full vent to their enthu- 
siasm. As the regiment passed through 
the gates the reception band played 
"Maryland, My Maryland" and "Yan- 
kee Doodle." The effect was electrical, 
and cheer upon cheer greeted the men 
as they lined up in front of the balcony 
from which the address of welcome was 
delivered. It was an impressive sight to 
see the soldiers at "Parade, Rest" 
pelted with flowers, fruits, cigars, cigar- 
ettes and every available thing that 
could be thrown as a compliment. Souv- 
enirs were in demand. Pretty girls 
traded flowers from their hats for a 
piece of hard tack, and many a trade of 
a stick pin for a button was noticed 
down the line. Indeed, when the sol- 
diers left the town more than one coat 
was in need of a full complement of 
buttons. 

The address of welcome was made 
by i\layor Malster and a beautiful basket 
of clioice flowers was presented to the 
regiment. It was made in the form of 
a shield, across the face of which were 
clasped hands, and below was the in- 
scription in violets, "Maryland to Massa- 
chusetts." On red, white and blue 
ribbons were printed : " Baltimore wel- 
comes the Sixth Massachusetts," •■Flow- 
ers, not bullets," and "God bless you 
and bring you safely home." 

In response to the Mayor's address 
Col. Chas. F. Woodward feelingly ac- 
knowledged the pretty token and the 
full sentiment of the occasion. When 
the order was given to march, the 
"Yankee" band started off with -Dixie" 
and kept it up all the way through the 
city to Camden station. The line of 
march, which was full)' two miles long. 
was a solid mass of enthusiastic people. 



As the column crossed Pratt street 
the word was given down the line ■■This 
is Pratt street," and each soldier glanced 
quickly about him to take in his sur- 
roundings. In 1861 the original regi- 
ment was obliged to march through Pratt 
street from the old President street sta- 
tion to Camden station and it was on 
this street that the rioting occurred. 

As the regiment reached Camden 
station each man was particularly inter- 
ested in the inscription which hung over 
the archway: "This is Camden station. 
The same old B. & O." It was to re- 
mind them again they were marching 
over historic ground. The station, which 
has been remodeled several times, is the 
oldest in use in America. It figured 
in two great riots — that of '61 and in '73 
of the great railroad strike. Thousands 
upon thousands of soldiers have passed 
through its portals and barricaded its 
walls against invasion, and twice has it 
suffered by fire from angry mobs. 

Here the soldiers were treated to an- 
other surprise. Each man received a 
box containing sandwiches, cake and 
fruit. In each box was a card with 
crossed Cuban and American flags and 
the American coat-of-arms. Under- 
neath was the inscription: "For our 
country and humanity. Maryland's 
greeting to Massachusetts. Baltimore 
and Boston clasp hands. Baltimore 
wishes God-speed to the historic Sixth 
Massachusetts \'olunteers. A united 
country honors those who are rallying 
to her defense. May the memory of 
1 861 be effaced by the welcome of i8g8. 
Do we love you? Dewey? " 

While the soldiers reentered their 
trains and started on their flying journey 
to Washington, and the people of Bal- 
timore waved their farewells and re- 
turned to their homes, the telegraph had 
been busy clicking the news to the four 
corners of the earth, and the whole na- 
tion rejoiced when the people heard 
of it. 

A blot had been effaced from his- 
tory and all sectional feeling between 
the North and South had passed for- 
ever. 

Many were the incidents of the trip 
which the Massachusetts boys will not 
likely forget. Their route from New York 
to Washington through I'hiladelphia 
and Baltimore was via the P.altimore 



THE HISTORIC SIXTH MASSACHUSETTS. 



& Ohio Kailroad, '-Rox'al lUue Line." 
They were carried in three special 
trains of thirteen cars each, and which 
were run at a remarkable rate of speed. 
The third section covered tlie ninety'- 
five miles from I'hiladelphia to jialti- 
niore in two hours and sixteen minutes, 



which was one of the best records ever 
made with such a heav)' train. 

Much interest was displayed through- 
out the entire route at iiound Hrook, 
I'hiladelphia. Chester and Wilmington, 
and by many of the smaller cities who 
had learned of their coming.

CINCINNATI AND THE G. A. R. 



•T^HE "Queen City of the West" has 
-*■ been chosen for the Thirtj-second 
Annual Encampment G. A. R. in Sep- 
tember, 1898; and when the selection 
was made at Buffalo last year, Cincin- 
nati commenced at once to prepare a 
royal welcome, such as was never before 
given to the "Boys in Blue." There 
is every reason to believe that an enor- 
mous attendance may be expected, since 



provided for, and as the hotels and 
boarding houses are inadequate to hold 
all, school houses and public buildings 
will be converted into temporary bar- 
racks. Besides the veterans, 50,000 
visitors may be expected, taking advan- 
tage of the low rate of fare offered by 
railroads from all over the United 
States. 

Cincinnati is well equipped to care

the war with Spain has created such a 
patriotic interest throughout the United 
States. 

The handling of an immense crowd 
of visitors, such as are generally in at- 
tendance upon G. A. R. Encampments, 
is a matter of great importance. For 
instance, there has seldom been less 
than 50,000 veterans in attendance at 
an encampment. The soldiers must be 



for the multitude. The immense school 
buildings all over the ci-ty and immedi- 
ate suburbs will be provided with cots. 
In addition to these, forty acres of park 
at the camping grounds will be covered 
with tents. 

The camp ground, which will be 
known as "Camp Sherman," is at 
Chester Park, a popular summer resort, 
which is convenient to the city by 



CINCINNATI AND THE G. A. R. 



half-hourly train service of the Balti- 
more & Ohio Southwestern Railway and 
by electric street railways. Twenty acres 
of the park are covered by the amusement 
buildings belonij;ing to the Park Com- 
pany. These buildings include a thea- 
tre, club house, refreshment pavilions 
and numerous smaller buildings de- 
voted to amusements of every legitimate 
character. The location of the camp is 
most convenient to the "Posts," who 
go via the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, 



The city, unlike Rome, is built 
ainoji:^ instead of on seven hills. To the 
north are Clifton Heights, Mt. Auburn, 
Walnut Hills and Mt. Lookout. To 
the east is Eden Park or Mt. Adams. 
To the west, Price Hill; and to the 
south, across the Ohio River, is the 
Kentucky range of hills. These boun- 
daries, of course, refer to the original 
city in the valley, for the hilltops are 
as solidly built up as the city below. 
Very often visitors e.xpect to see on the

as the trains stop immediately in front 
of the entrance gate — the railway station 
being just across the roadway. 

The camp will be the gayest and most 
brilliantly lighted the "boys" have 
ever before seen, as the electric light 
arrangements of the park have made it 
famous as an electrical park. 

Cincinnati can afford a list of attrac- 
tions, amusements and points of interest 
equaling any of the metropolitan cities. 



"hill-tops" only a few houses, while 
in fact the tops and very sides of the 
hills are covered with houses more com- 
pactly built than on the level ground. 

The approaches to the hill-tops in 
many instances are so steep that "in- 
clined planes" are numerous. There 
are several "inclines," notably those 
at Price Hill, Harrison Avenue, Elm 
Street, Mt. Auburn and Eden Park; the 
one at Price Hill being the steepest. 



CINCINNATI AND THE G. A. R. 



All of these inclines convey street cars 
and vehicles of all descriptions and of 
reasonable tonnage from the lower 
portion of the city to the upper. 

The public buildings of Cincinnati 
are beautiful substantial structures of 
stone. The most recently built is the 
City Hall, occupying the block bounded 
by Eighth, Ninth, Central Avenues and 
Plum Streets. The Government Build- 
ing and Post Office on Government 
Square is the most imposing and expen- 



reputation for its exquisite workmanship 
and beauty. The Art Museum and Art 
School in Eden Park are additional evi- 
dences of the public spirit of Cincin- 
natians and of which the city has be- 
come so proud. 

The Art Museum is one of the most 
attractive places in the country. Lo- 
cated on an elevation in Eden Park, it 
commands a splendid view of the sur- 
rounding country and the city below. 
Among the various collections contained

complete it. The Chamber of Com- 
merce is especially noted for its beauti- 
ful style of architecture. Besides these 
public buildings, is the magnificent 
Music Hall, a gift of one of Cincinnati's 
public spirited citizens. In it are held the 
great May festivals every two years. Its 
famous organ is the second largest in 
the United States. Another monument 
of generous citizenship is the Tyler- 
Davidson Fountain, which has a national

excellent assortment of bric-a-brac and 
pottery, sculpture, carvings in wood, 
relics, etc., etc. Connected with it is the 
Art School, or the "School of Design," 
the students having free use of the Mu- 
seum. Eden Park, because of its natural 
scenery, is ranked among the foremost 
of picturesque landscapes. It is a suc- 
cession of undulating hills of beautiful 
forests and lawns. In it is the main 
reservoir which supplies water to the 



CINCINNATI AND IMF. G. A. R. 



city. At its outtr eds;e at the top of the 
inclined plane is the world renowned 
" Kookwood Pottery." Its wares are 
to be found in every part of the f^lobe 
and are the most expensive of the kind. 

llurnet Woods is a delightful "forest 
park" on the way to fashionable Clifton. 

The "Zoological Garden," which is 



Cincinnati can boast of more suburbs 
than any of the western cities. The 
population has so increased in twenty 
years as to drive the residents out of the 
city to the hills and valleys, and the city 
limits practicall)' extend ten miles north 
of the river. 

The suburbs of Clifton, Mt. Auburn, 




""V^^X-^^ 




the largest in the West, is a beautiful 
park lying immediately north of the city, 
between the suburbs of Clifton and 
Avondale. A rare collection of wild 
animals has been supported here for 
many years and lately amusement build- 
ings have been erected to add to the in- 
terest of the garden. 



Avondale and Walnut Hills within the 
city limits, are the most beautiful resi- 
dence centers, while there are at least 
fifty other attractive suburbs. 

Immediately opposite the city on the 
Kentucky side, is the city of Covington, 
with a population of 45,000, and along 
the river front to the east are the towns

of Newport, Bellevue and Dayton, 
which really belong to Cincinnati, al- 
though they can never be counted as 
such. The most recent electoral census 
of Cincinnati places the population at 
350,000, not counting the suburban 
population outside of city limits.

The Kentucky cities are connected 
by beautiful bridges. Among them is 
the famous Suspension Bridge, begun 
during the war, and which was the first 
of its kind. It connects Cincinnati with 
Covington. The C. & O. R. I^. bridge 
also connects these cities. I'urther

where the Ohio and Mississippi River 
steamboats make their landings. The 
old river days arc no more, but the busi- 
ness is still exceedinglj' profitable. 

Cincinnati is provided with excel- 
lent railwa)' facilities. The IJaltimore 
& Ohio Railroad and the Baltimore 



CINCINXATI AND TJIE G. A. K. 



& Ohio Southwestern Railway offer 
excellent service from the East and 
West. These lines extend from New 
York to St. Louis through Cincinnati, 
with solid vestiliuled train ser^•ice. 

From Boston and New England 
cities direct connections are made with 
the -'Ivoyal Blue" trains from New 
York running solid to Cincinnati. 

From New York, Philadelphia, Bal- 
timore and Washington, three through 
" lioyal Blue" vestibuled trains run 
daily to Cincinnati with f'uUman Sleep-

especially interesting, and the scenery 
along the I'otomac River and through

PRIVATE ANTRIM'S WHEEL. 



r.v iiii/is I AMii;i:i,i,. 



TT was a hot day even for Arizona. 
-'■ I'ort ISrant was slowly sizzling in 
the great sandy sauce pan, and the only 
living; creatures visible were the soldier 
stationed in front of the guard house 
and private Antrim, the new recruit 
from the ivast. 

The man on guard stood ([uietly in 
the doorway of the little adobe jail, wait- 
ing patiently for the breeze that occa- 
sionally was wafted through the building. 

Antrim, on the contrary, was sitting 
in the blazing sunlight, holding out to 
its direct rays a common black tin ther- 
mometer. He had never even heard of 
such awful heat. 

At last the mercury reached the top 
of the tube. 

"Wan hundred and thirty and no 
more thermometer, by — " But he did 
not say what. In fact, he never was 
known to fill in the blank or swear i'v 
anything. 

Rising slowly, he limped into the 
barracks, and joined a group of men 
earnestly engaged in discussing what 
seemed to be. judging from their con- 
versation, a combination of vicious 
broncho and dangerous and complicated 
machine gun. 

"As I was saying, Sergeant, just as 
I got into the saddle she gave a sudden 
buck and I ran jilumb into the Colonel. 
Then when I went to salute, she rolled 
in the other direction and ran clean over 
Captain Peters' jack rabbit. Then she 
went straight down the parade and 
dumped me into the pond. I never saw 
such a machine for going off at half 
cock. " 

■Yes, Nolan, that very ducking saved 
you extra duty. The Colonel might 
excuse your bumping him, but Captain 
I'eters wasn't likely to forgive your 
spoiling his rabbit." 

"Look at me oye and me shin." 
wailed Antrim. "Sure its an invintion 
of the divil. " 

Just then a loud report like a pistol- 
shot echoed through the room. 

"There she goes; run, byes, run." 

And setting the example, in spite of 
his badly sprained ankle. Antrim was 



soon at what he considered a safe dis- 
tance. :L_IL1] 

The innocent cause of all this was 
nothing more or less than a bicycle, a 
number of which had been received at 
the post with the instructions that the 
men learn to ride. 

The officer of the day, hearing the 
disturbance, came in, and an investiga- 
tion showed that one of the tires of 
Micky's wheel had exploded. 

"See here. Antrim, will you never 
learn that if you pump up the tires at 
night, they are sure to burst these hut 
dajs?" 

■ Yis. sor, I didn't know it was loaded, 
sor." And that was really the keynote 
of all Micky's troubles. Everything 
seemed especially loaded for him. He 
had been thrown by a broncho, bitten 
by a tarantula, stung by a rattlesnake 
and chased by an Indian. 

A few days previous, he had been 
ordered to bring a horse for the use of 
tlie department general who was in- 
specting the i>ost. As the men stood in 
line and the band struck up, there was 
a rear and a plunge, and the dignified 
General found himself on the ground. 
Antrim was angrily ordered to step out 
of the ranks. 

"Were you aware of the proclivities 
of this animal?" thundered the General. 

"Yis, sor, it bucks, sor," answered 
Micky in all gravity and innocence as 
he saluted, and the partially suppressed 
laugh that went down the line decided 
the General that a fuss would only make 
matters worse. lUit for many a day the 
men meeting out of sight of the officers 
would salute and say. "^'is. sor, it 
bucks, sor." 

There is little enough to enliven the 
common soldier's life at an Arizona post. 
Pay day is always a long way off and 
the sutler often inexorable. 

From afar they listened to the Col- 
onel's musicale or watched the german 
at the Captain's quarters, or wondered at 
the silence of a lieutenant's whist ])arty. 

T/ieir kind of singing, dancing and 
card playing was something widely dif- 
ferent. 



FRIIATE ANTRIM'S WHEEL. 



Hotter and hotter grew the days 
until even the Indians ceased loafing 
around the fort. 

''There is trouble ahead, "said Caji- 
tain Peters. '-The time to look out for 
an Indian is when you don't see any." 

This paradoxical remark was made 
to two young West Pointers who had 
recently been assigned to the post. It 
was overheard by Antrim who charac- 
teristically attributed it to the rarity of 
the atmosphere. He could never under- 
stand why objects in that wonderful 
country were so far away when they 
seemed so near. 

To the North, East and South of 
Fort Brant rolls the desert. On the 
\\'est rise the mountains and winding 
down from them is the only good trail 
into it. 

This soon became a favorite ground 
with the bicycle corps, who laboriously 
pedaled up to coast down. Of course 
Antrim held the record of having taken 
the longest header, and that too into the 
largest cactus on the trail. 

Just at daybreak one morning as 
'■boots and saddles" rang out on the 
quiet air, a scouting part^' was ordered 
into the mountains. 

A miner had come down bringing a 
tale of murder and pillage by a band of 
Indians under Lame Deer, a hitherto 
inoffensive but ambitious young chief. 

Not considering the outbreak of 
great consequence, and anxious to prac- 
tically test the new mode of locomo- 
tion. Captain Peters who commanded 
the expedition, divided his men. One 
half as usual rode their bronchos, and 
the other their bicycles. Among the 
latter was Antrim. 

On the mesa the line was in fair- 
ly good order, the wheels keeping 
pace with the horses; but when the 
mountains were reached it became sadly 
confused and unsafe, especially' to an 
old Indian fighter like the Captain. 

Going up the steep trail the cavalry 
rode gaily on while the bikes were slowly 
pushed up. On the descent, the wheels 
came rushing amongst the horses, like 
a succession of avalanches and danger- 
ously near the precipices, passing be- 
yond the advance guard, never stopping 
until stalled on another incline. 

By noon the claim was reached, or 
rather what remained of it. 



The smoldering ruins of the cabin 
and bullet ridden bodies of the miners 
told the too familiar tale of a tardy 
rescue. 

The troop gazed on the awful and 
grewsome scene as wheel and horsemen 
drew close together. 

" By — " said Antrim. 

"Hell!" growled the Sergeant. 

■•Silence!" thundered the Captain. 

And down the canon came the 
echoes, "Silence, Silence." 

The first task was the burial of the 
bodies. Nothing could be learned of 
the Indians' loss, as they had time to 
remove their wounded and dead. In 
the pile of enijity shells beside each 
dead miner there were surely some 
vouchers that an Indian had been made 
■'good." 

The services conducted by the Cap- 
tain were brief and impressive. 

Antrim, taking the little metal cross 
which he always wore suspended from 
a string around his neck, placed it in 
the folded hands of the youngest. 

While the men were digging the 
graves the Captain narrowly scanned 
the rocks, but not a vestige of redskin 
could be seen. 

He had that feeling of being closely 
watched and that itchy sensation be- 
tween his broad shoulders presenting as 
they did, such a splendid target. 

He had come to hunt Indians, but 
from past experience knew that with 
such antagonists the hunter was often 
hunted. 

Suddenl}' a goat high above them in 
the canon jumped from its hiding place 
and began clambering down the moun- 
tain. 

Then a buzzard, perching on an op- 
posite crag and watching the disposal 
of what it evidently considered its din- 
ner, wheeled into the air, circling from 
rock to rock, with the evident intention 
of alighting but always changing its 
mind. 

To a tenderfoot this meant nothing, 
but the Captain and most of his men 
knew that behind each stone lurked a 
devil ready to send death into their un- 
protected ranks. 

The path by which they came was 
in possession of their invisible foes. 

To the west lay the Alkali desert 
with all its horrors. 



PRIFATF. ANTRIM'S WHEEL.

A move in either direction would 
open the flood-gates of a leaden torrent. 

The Captain caught sight of a face 
grinning in exulting anticipation at its 
prey beneath — a face widely different 
from those calm white ones lying in the 
yet uncovered graves. 

Perhaps the Indians were supersti- 
tiou^ly waiting until the funeral services 
were over. 

If they could only he prolonged until 
dark. 

■Attention ! Follo\v me. bo\ s. single 
file, and do as I do." 

Around the graves the Captain 
marched, swinging his arms and stamp- 
ing his feet, followed and mimicked by 
the entire company. 

Sometimes the men played -'follow 
my leader" at the fort, but now they 
were "monkeying" with a vengeance. 

Their very lives depended on their 
mystifying their superstitious foes. 

'■Sing!" commanded the Captain. 

They opened their mouths but from 
their parched throats issued only faint 
squeaks and groans. 

The Sergeant was a strict disciplin- 
arian and prided himself on carrying out 
his Captain's orders. 

In front of him marched Antrim. 
Taking a pin from his collar he jabbed 
it into Micky's leg with a "Sing, man, 
sing." 

The yell that echoed through the 
canon would have made an Apache pale 
with envv. The ••music" was some- 
thing antediluvian and heroic ; words no 
one understood ; now a chant, now a 
wail, always a howl, with which the pin, 
perhaps, had much to do. 

Around and around the living wheel 
revolved, picking up pans and kettles, 
using them as cymbals. Now and then 
closing in, bowing their lieads to the 
center and taking surreptitious bites 
from their haversacks and sips from 
the canteens. 

Would the sun never set? 

Inch by inch the shadows grew and 
the Indians forgetting their caution, 
leaned over the rocks to gaze at the un- 
wonted spectacle. 

At last darkness came, and the al- 
most e.xhausted men jumping hastily be- 
hind the horses, opened fire upon the 
foe whose silhouettes showed plainly 
against the sky. 



Complete darkness soon put an end 
to this and the men began to retrace 
their journey. 

It was a veritable gauntlet of stones 
and bullets, which however, did but 
little harm. 

On through the night, they trudged 
up and down, pushing their wheels and 
dragging their horses. 

Just before dawn, unable to go fur- 
ther, a stand was made in a partially 
sheltered ravine ; while below them the 
trail sloped steeply in an almost un- 
broken line to the fort. 

It was quite certain that relief would 
be sent when the firing was heard, but 
the Indians were ambushed on either 
side of the trail, and warning must be 
sent to their comrades below. 

lixplaining the situation. Captain 
Peters asked for a volunteer. 

The men looked at one another. It 
was almost certain death. Then Antrim 
stepped forward. "I'll go, sor." 

" Vou. How? " 

•'On my wheel, sor." 

" X'er}' well. " 

Taking hastily written instructions, 
Antrim mounted his bicycle and started 
for the fort as the first rays of dawn 
pierced the canon. 

Astride a horse his journey would 
have quickly ended, but the Indians in 
wonder at this ijueer machine withheld 
their fire until too late. 

Faster and faster went Micky, his 
feet on the coasters, every nerve and 
muscle strained to keep the wheel 
straight and avoid obstructions. 

The pedals revolved like buzz-saws 
and the wheels became shadowy discs. 

An Indian scout had barely time to 
jump aside as this combination of man 
and thing shot past. The bullet from 
his rifle struck the ground many feet 
behind. * * * 

The General, an early riser, was 
standing on his veranda gazing toward 
the mountains. 

Presently his attention was attracted 
by an object moving with marvelous ra- 
pidity toward the fort. 

As he looked, it grew, and soon re- 
solved itself into a trooper on a runaway 
bicycle. 

On it came through the gates straight 
for the General. It struck the porch; 
there was a vision of boots disappearing

through the doorway, out the opposite 
window; a final crash and all was still. 

When the General reached Antrim. 
Mickey managed to say, "Here's a 
missige, sor," and fainted. 

The relief was sent and the Indians 
routed. 



Some days later when Antrim was 
again able to attend to his duties, 
Captain Peters said. -'Antrim, what 
kind of music was that you made in the 
canon ? " 

•'That, sor, was a Donnegal love 
song, sor." 



WASHINGTON'.S FAREWELL TO HLS ARMY. 



■XTTHITEHALL Terminal, or South 
** Ferry as it is now more generally 
known, is one of the oldest ferry slips of 
New York City. It is located at the foot 
of Whitehall Street, just east of the Bat- 
tery at the extreme southern point of 
the city, and was then, as now, the most 
convenient point from which to reach 
either Jersey City or Brooklyn. 

More than a hundred years ago it 
was known as "Whitehall Ferry," but 
as other ferries were established it be- 
came known as "South I<"erry.'' It is 
now the great terminal of all the elevated 
railways and the cable lines, and many 
ferry lines to l>rooklyn and Jersey City. 

This is the terminal which is used 
by the Baltimore A: Ohio Railroad, for 
the convenience of passengers to and 
from all parts of Greater New York. 

It was at "Whitehall Ferry,'' in a 
building which is standing to day, that 
George Washington bid farewell to the 
officers of his army, a description of 
which is given in the concluding chapter 
of "Hugh Wynne," Dr. S. Weir Mit- 
chell's beautiful story : 

"In April, 17^3, peace was pro- 
claimed. In November of that year I 
heard from Colonel Hamilton that our 
beloved general would, on December 4, 
take leave of his officers, and that he 
was kind enough to desire that all of 
his old staff who wished should be pres- 
ent. I was most pleased to go. 

"In New ^'ork at Fraunce's Tavern. 
near Whitehall kerry, I found the room 
full of the men who had humbled the 
pride of England and brought our great 
war to a close. His Excellency entered 



at noon, and seeing about him these 
many companions in arms, was for a 
little while so agitated that he could not 
speak. Then with a solemn and kindly 
expression of face, such as I had once 
before seen him wear, he filled a glass 
with wine, and, seemingly to steady him- 
self, said: 

"'With a heart full of love and 
gratitude, I take my leave of you, most 
devoutly wishing that your latter days 
may be as prosperous and happy as your 
former ones have been glorious and 
honorable.' 

"So saying, he drank his wine, and 
one after another went by him, shaking 
his hand. No word was said and these 
worn veterans of the winter camps and 
the summer battle-fields moved out, and 
saw their former general pass down, be- 
tween lines of infantry, to the shore. 
There he got into a barge. As he was 
rowed away he stood up and lifted his 
hat. All of us uncovered, and remained 
thus till he passed from sight, to be 
seen no more by many of those who 
gazed sadly after his retreating form. 

■■There is an old book my grand- 
children love to hear me read to them. 
It is the 'Morte d' Arthur.' done into 
English by Sir Thomas Malory. Often 
when I read therein of how Arthur the 
king bade farewell to the world and to 
the last of the great company of his 
Knights of the Round Table, this scene 
at \Miitehall Slip comes back to me, 
and I seem to see once more those gal- 
lant soldiers and far away the tall figure 
of surely the knightliest gentleman our 
days have known." 



THE SEVENTIETH IHRTHDAY OF THE B. & O. 



TTNTIL recently there were hidden 
^ away in the great iron vaults of 
the general office building of the Balti- 
more & Ohio Railroad at Baltimore, 
relics of priceless value — implements of 
greater power than the strongest arma- 
ment in the world; implements of peace 
and prosperity. They were a spade, a 
trowel and a hammer, laid away many 
years ago as mementos of a most import- 
ant event — the building of the first 
American railway. Together with these 
tools were a Masonic silk apron and 
badges worn by Thomas Young Nichol, 
a master stone mason who performed 
the actual labor of placing the corner 
stone of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, 
at Baltimore, July 4, 1828. 

The ceremonies attending this great 
event having been conducted by the 
Masonic Fraternity, the relics have been 
placed in a large glass cabinet and 
loaned to the Masonic Temple, Balti- 
more, with the compliments of the Balti- 
more & Ohio Railroad. 

As this railway is about to enjoy 
its seventieth birthday on the coming 
Fourth of July, which this year will be 
fraught with newborn patriotism, a re- 
view of the great events of 1828 are 
befitting. 

This Pannt of American Railways 
still bearing, unchanged its original 
charter name, may look back with pride 
on the most wonderful history of any 
corporation in the world. Its name first 
appeared in the annals of American his- 
tory on the ilay when the people of our 
great Republic were celebrating our 
fifty-second year of Independence, and 
no more appropriate christening could 
be given it than that of the venerable 
Charles Carroll of CarroUton, the last 
surviving signer of the Declaration of 
Independence, who, tottering under his 
ninety-one years, casting the first spade- 
ful of dirt for the beginning of the rail- 
way, said : " I consider this among the 
most iinportant acts of my life, second 
only to that of signing the Declaration of 
Independence, if, indeed, second to that." 

His memorable words were a proph- 
esy, for with the building of the rail- 
way, the country took on a new com- 



mercial activity and the Nation grew to 
be a power above all others. 

The railway first received its charter 
on February 27, 1827, and great prepara- 
tions were made for its building. It was 
to be a great event and the duties atten- 
dant upon the ceremonies were there- 
fore intrusted to the Masons. 

A grand industrial and civic parade 
was arranged, in which every trade and 
profession was represented . Each trade 
was provided with a float on which the 
workmen were actively engaged making 
their individual wares and giving them 
awa)'. The City of Baltimore was in its 
zenith of glory, for great was the monu- 
ment for which the corner stone was to 
be laid that day. The ceremonies were 
conducted in the most religious manner, 
as was the custom of the founders of 
our impregnable Nation. 

The following interesting account is 
taken from a little pamphlet which was 
printed as a souvenir of the great event: 

'•The celebration of the Fourth of 
July, and the ceremonies attending the 
commencement of the Baltimore & Ohio 
Railroad, brought to town a great con- 
course of strangers a day or two before 
the celebration. On the afternoon and 
evening immediately preceding, all the 
roads to town were thronged with pas- 
sengers, while in the city itself, the live- 
ly and incessant crowds in Baltimore 
Street, the movement of various cars, 
banners, and other decorations of the 
trades to their several points of destina- 
tion, the erection of scaffolds, and the 
removal of window sashes, gave many 
'notes of preparation' for the ensuing 
fete. Fortunately the morning of the 
Fourth rose not only bright but cool,' 
to a great comfort of the immense 
throng of spectators that from a very 
early hour, filled every window in Balti- 
more Street, and the pavement below, 
from beyond Bond Street on the east, 
far west on Baltimore Street, extending 
a distance of about two miles. 

"About ten o'clock, the procession 
reached the spot on which the founda- 
tion stone of the railroad was to be 
placed — a field two miles and a quarter 
from town, south of the Frederick

Turnpike road, and near Carroll's ujnier 
mills, on Gwynn's I'alls. Through the 
middle of this field runs, from north to 
south, a ridge of an elevation of perhaps 
thirt)' feet: in the center, and on the 
summit of which was erected a pavilion 
for the reception of Charles Carroll of 
Carrollton, the President and Directors 
of the Railroad Company, the Engi- 
neers, the Mayor and Cit)' Council, and 
the Orator of the day. Among the 
guests in the pavilion were also the 
Speaker of the House of Representa- 
tives of the United States, Gov. Coles, 
of Indiana, the members of Congress 
and the Legislature, the Order of Cincin- 
nati and R(_'volutionary Soldiers, Col. 
Grenier and Gen. Devereux. On either 
side of the pavilion, and along the line 
of the ridge, wa^; arranged the cavalry. 
In front of it toward the east, and on 
the lirow of the ridge, was the e.\cava- 
tion for the reception of the foimdation 
stone, beneath which, and parallel with 
the ridge, lay a long and level plain, in 
which the procession formed on its 
arrival, facing towards the pavilion. 
The cars were drawn up in a body on 
the left and inclining towards the rear 
of the pavilion. The masonic bodies 
formed a large hollow square around 
the first stone. The spectacle presented 
from the pavilion was gay and splendid 
in a very high degree. 

"The ceremonies were commenced 
by a prayer by the Rev. Dr. W'yatt. 
Masonic Grand Chaplain ; the vast au- 
dience uncovered their heads, when Mr. 
Heath, after an eloquent preface, read 
the Declaration of Independence. The 
Carrollton March, composed by Mr. 
Clifton, being then performed, Mr. Jno. 
B. Morris delivered the following ad- 
dress from the President and Directors 
of the Company : 

" Fklliiw Cn i/kxs : 

The occasion which has assembled 
us is one of great and momentous inter- 
est. We have met to celebrate the lay- 
ing of the first stone of the IJaltimore cV: 
Ohio Railroad, and if there be anything 
which could render the day we have 
chosen more interesting in our eyes 
than it already seems, it is that we now 
commence the construction of a work 
which is to raise our native city to that 
range which the advantage of her situa- 



tion and the enterprise of her citizens 
entitle her to hold. The result of our 
labors will be felt, not only by ourselves, 
but also by posterity — not only by lialti- 
imore. but also by Maryland and by the 
United States. 

■■ We are about opening the channel 
through which the commerce of the 
mighty country beyond the Allegheny 
must seek the ocean — we are about 
affording facilities of intercoursi- be- 
tween the liast and the West, which will 
bind the one more closely to the other, 
beyond the power of an increased popu- 
lation or sectional differences to disunite. 
We are in fact commencing a new era 
in our history; for there are none present 
who even doubt the great and beneficial 
influence which the intended road will 
have in promoting the agriculture, man- 
ufactures and inland commerce of our 
country. It is but a few years since 
the introduction of steamboats effected 
powerful changes, and made those neigh- 
l)Ours, who were before far distant from 
each other. Of a similar and ei|ually 
important effect will be the Baltimore 
tV Ohio Railroad. While the one will 
have stemmed the torrent of the Mississ- 
ippi, the other will have surmounted 
and reduced the heights of the Alle- 
gheny; and those obstacles, considered 
insuperable, will have ceased to be so, 
as the ingenuity and industry of man 
shall have been exerted to overcome 
them. 

'• Fully impressed with the magni- 
tude of the undertaking committed to 
their charge, the Board of Directors 
have used every means to insure success. 
The best talent of the country is em- 
ployed in their service; the General Gov- 
ernment has lent its officers to assist in 
what is justly considered a work of na- 
tional importance — much valuable infor- 
mation has been acquired, and with 
abundant resources at their command, 
the Board of Directors find themselves 
within little more than a year after the 
incorporation of the company, fully pre- 
pared to commence the construction of 
the Gri:.a I Rn.Mi. 

"It is not in mortals to command 
success, but if a determination to yield 
to no obstacle which human exertion 
can overcome; an enthusiastic devotion 
to the cause; a firm belief that the com- 
pletion of the magnificent work will eon- 



i8 



THE SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY OF THE B. d- O. 



fer the most important benefits upon 
our country; and a thorough conviction 
that it is practicable — if all these, urging 
to action, can ensure success — success 
shall be ours. 

"This day fifty-two years since, two 
millions of people, the population of the 
provinces of Great iSritam, proclaimed 
themselves independent states, and com- 
menced the task of self government. 
Our native city was then an inconsitler- 
able village, with few and difTicult 
means of communication with the inte- 
rior, and with a scanty and slowly in- 
creasing commerce. The inhabitants 
of these states now number ten millions, 
and Baltimore has increased in her full 
proportion of population. Wide av- 
enues now radiate in every direction 
through the surrounding country — she 
has risen to the rank of the tliird city of 
the Union, and there are but few sec- 
tions of the world where her commercial 
enterprise has not made her known. 
Fifty-two years since, he, who is this 
day to lay the first stone of the great 
road, was one among a band of fearless 
and noble spirits who resolved and 
declared that freedom which has been 
transmitted unimpaired to us. 

•The existence which he contributed 
to give to the United States on the 
Fourth of July, 1776, he perpetuates on 
the I'ourth of July, 1.S28. Ninety-one 
summers have passed over him. Those 
who stood with him in the Hall of Inde- 
pendence, have left him solitary upon 
earth — 'the father of his country.' In 
the full possessions of his powers; with 
his feelings and affections still buoyant 
and warm, he now declares that the 
])roudest act of his life and the most 
important in its consequences to his 
country, was the signature of Indepen- 
dence; the next, the laying of the first 
stone of the work which is to perpetuate 
the Union of the American states; to 
make the East and West as one house- 
hold in the facilities of intercourse, and 
the feelings of mutual affection. Long 
may he live, cherished and beloved by 
his country, a noble relic of the past, a 
bright example of the present time." 

On the conclusion of the address, 
two boys dressed as Mercuries, ad- 
vanced to the canopy, and prayed that 
the Printers might be furnished with a 
copy of the remarks and address just 



delivered, that they might be printed 
and distributed to the people. 

The deputation from the Black- 
smiths' Association next advancing, pre- 
sented Mr. Carroll the pick, spade, 
stone-hammer and trowel, prepared by 
them for the occasion, and made the 
tollowing address: 

'• Venerated Sir: 

As the representative of the Asso- 
ciation of Black and Whitesmiths, I am 
directed to present to you these imple- 
ments made and borne to this place by 
freemen, consisting of a pick to break 
the soil, the spade to remove it, the 
hammer to break off rough corners, and 
the trowel to lay the cement which is to 
unite the East to the West, for the com- 
mencement of this great work, which 
will commemorate an epoch in the his- 
tory of the internal improvements of our 
beloved country, and that too, on this 
illustrious day, which is celebrated as 
the day that tried the souls of men — the 
day that gave birth to a nation of free- 
men — the day. venerated sir. with which 
you are so conspicuously identified — the 
day that shall be the polar star to future 
ages, advertising them, that men dare 
declare themselves a free and sovereign 
people, that republics can exist, that 
they neither require the royal diadem or 
military rule to direct the great helm 
of state in safet\'. 

■'And now sir. that the present age 
may bless the men that touched the 
spring and put in motion this great 
national work, and that future ages may 
bless the memory of our beloved Charles 
Carroll of Carrollton, is the prayer of 
those freemen that surround you," 

The deputation from the stone-cut- 
ters now came forward, and the car 
containing the foundation stone was 
driven to the spot. While the stone 
was preparing. Mr. Carroll, accompa- 
nied by the grand marshal of the day 
and Mr. John B. Morris, descended 
from the pavilion bearing in his hand the 
spade just presented, advanced to the 
spot selected for the reception of the 
foundation stone, in order to strike the 
spade into the ground. He walked with 
a firm step, and used the instrument 
with a steady hand, verifying the pre- 
diction of our correspondent, in the 



THK SI'A'ENriE'J'll niK'UlDAY OF THE />'. d- O.

song published on the morning of the 
fourtli;

The stone was then dexterously re- 
moved from the waf^on in which it had 
been conveyed to the ):,'round and placed 
in its bed. The Grand Master of Mary- 
land then remarked, that before apply- 
ing the test of his instruments to the 
stone, for the purpose of ascertaining 
its correctness, with the assistance of 
the Grand Masters of the states of 
I'ennsylvania and \'irginia. it might not 
be amiss to add one to the numerous 
congratulations then expressed, that 
Marj'land had at last determined to 
engage in honorable competition with 
her sister states in the great work of 
internal improvement. He hailed the 
presence of the Grand Masters of these 
states as a propitious omen. On the 
one hand was I'ennsylvania, the first to 
penetrate the defiles of her mountains 
with her roads, who had been ever since 
employed with ceaseless assiduity in 
further developing the resources of her 
domestic trade. On the other hand was 
\'irginia. who had been for years studi- 
ously engaged in creating and preserving 
a board, with competent funds, for the 
promotion of the same great end; man- 
fully struggling against those difficulties 
which even here energ)' had hitherto 
been insufficient to surmount, and there- 
fore doubtless awaiting anxiously the 
result of our experiment, in order to 
avail herself of this mode of extended 
communication. It was only, he said, 
to notice the countenance of the repre- 
sentatives of a numerous fraternity in 
these two powerful and neighboring 
states, and to express in the name of 
the body whom he represented, their 
thanks for the kind feelings which had 
prompted the acceptance of the invita- 
tion to join in the ceremony of the day — 
that he had allowed himself to interrupt 
the usual order with a single remark. 

The Grand Master, attended by the 
Past Grand Chaplain of Maryland, and 
by the Grand Masters of I'ennsylvania 
and Virginia, then applied his instru- 
ments to the stone, and after handing 
them for the same purpose to the other 
Grand Masters and receiving their fa- 



vorable report, pronounced it to be 
"well formed, true and trusty." The 
Grand Chaplain invoked the benedic- 
tion of heaven upon the success of the 
enterprise, the prosperity of the city, 
and the future life of the venerable man 
who had assisted in laying the stone. 
The ceremony was concluded in the 
usual manner by pouring wine and oil 
and scattering corn upon the stone, 
with a corresponding invocation and re- 
sponse, followed by the grand Masonic 
honors. 

The following is the inscription;

a glass cylinder, hermeticall)' sealed,

the states of Maryland, Virginia and

the day, together with a scroll contain-

Tile first Board uf Uirectors was tlt-cted 
April 23, 1S27. 
The Company was organized April 241I1, 1827. 
An examination 
of the country was com- 
menced under the direction of 
Lieutenant Colonel Stephen H. Long 
and Captain William G. McNeill, United 
States' topographical engineers, and William 
Howard, United States' civil engineer, 
assisted by Lieutenants Barney, 
Trimble and Dillahunty of the 
U. S. Artillery, and Mr. 
Harrison, Julv 2d, 
1S27. 
The actual surveys to determine the route were 
begun by the same officers with the 
additional assistance of Lieutenants 
Cook, Gwynn, Hazzard, Fes- 
senden and Thompson, and 
Mr. C.uion, November 
20th, 1S27. 
The charter of the company 
was confirmed by the state of Pennsylvania, 
February 22d, 1S28. 
The state of Maryland became a 
stockholder in the company by subscribing for 
half a million of dollars of its stock 
March 6th, 1S2S. 
And the construction of the road was commenced 
July 4th, 182S. 

THE GRAND CIVIC PROCESSION. 

The procession was headed by Cap- 
tain Cox's troop, the First Baltimore 
Hussars. The '-Pioneers" with the 
implements of labor on their shoulders 
followed next. Then came the Masonic 
Fraternity of Maryland, accompanied 
by representatives of the order from 
Pennsylvania and Mrginia. 

In "an elegant Landoulette and 
four " were seated Charles Carroll of 
CarroUton, and Cieneral Samuel Smith. 
Senator of Maryland in Congress. Then 
followed other carriages containing Col- 
onel U. S. Heath, orator of the day, Mr. 
Andrew Stevenson. Speaker of the 
House of Representatives, Gov. Coles, 
of Indiana. Colonel Grenier, aide to 
Gen. Lafayette at the surrender of Corn- 
wallis, and other prominent gentleinen 
of the day. 

On foot in double files came the di- 
rectors of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- 
road Company, the Military and Civil 
Engineers of the Company, the Society 
of Cincinnati and Soldiers of the Revo- 
lution. After these came the Trades 
Associations in the following order: 

Farmers and Planters; Twenty-four 
"aged and respectable" farmers on 
horseback, representing the number of 
states of the Union, were followed by a 



float representing a rural scene with 
growing mulberry trees and stalks of 
corn and men at plowing. The mottoes 
were significant: "The wilderness and 
the solitary place shall be glad and the 
desert shall rejoice and blossom as the 
rose." "Our swords are beaten into 
plough-shares and our spears into prun- 
ing hooks. " "He who soweth good 
seed shall reap abundantly." "Paul 
may plant, and Apollos water, but God 
giveth the increase." " Behold the day 
is come. Put ye in the sickle and reap 
for the harvest is ripe." "Every man 
may sit under his own vine and fig tree, 
and none shall make him afraid." 

The Gardeners came in white coats, 
vests and pantaloons, wearing bouquets. 

The Millers and Flour Inspectors 
with silk badges containing devices of 
the tools of their profession and a sketch 
of the railroad, were followed by the 
Bakers and Victuallers. 

Tailors: A float drawn by four 
horses contained a representation of a 
tailor shop with six journeymen at work 
making a coat, the cloth of which was 
made by the " Weavers ' during the 
parade. A conspicuous banner contained 
the following motto: " And they sewed 
fig leaves together." 

Blacksmiths and Whitesmiths: This 
body of artisans distinguished by blue 
ribbons carried the implements with 
which to begin the road — a pick, a spade, 
a stone-hammer and trowel, all specially 
made for the occasion. The motto on 
the banner carried was: " B)' hammer 
and hand all arts do stand." 

Then came the Steam Engine 
Makers, Rollers of Copper and Iron and 
Millwrights. They carried a large ban- 
ner with the strange device: 

" We join like brothers, hand in hand. 
Called by the world a millwright band." 

" Millwrights do their work prepare 
By water power, steam or air." 

The Weavers, Bleachers, Dyers and 
Manufacturers of Cotton and Wool 
came next. On a large float drawn by 
four horses was the loom which made 
the cloth from which the tailors made 
the coat for the venerable Carroll. 

The Carpenters, Lumber Merchants 
and Plane Makers were next in line. 
The}' carried a banner on which was 
drawn a railroad depot, warehouses,

cade, through the center arch of which 
was represented a locomotive engine 
approaching the 
depot. The arcade 
bore the inscrip- 
tion; 'Raihoad to 
the Ohio, July 4. 
1828." 

The Stone Cut- 
ters followed with 
the " First Stone 
of the Baltinioru A:

a handsome car, 
in the center of 
which was a plintli 
covered with green 
baize, on which

SOXG FOR THE I).\\. 

Written by Mr. John Cole and sung on the occasion of the laying of the corner-stone of the I'.altimore 
& Ohio Railroad, July 4. 1S28. Tune of "We're a' Noddin'." 

TLTERE'S a road to be made, 

-*-'• With the Pick and the Spade, 

'Tis to reach to Ohio, for the benefit of trade; 

Here are mountains to be level'd, 

Here are valley's to be fill'd. 

Here are rocks to be blown, and bridges too to build. 

And we're all hopping, skipping, jumping. 

And we're all crazy here in Baltimore. 

See the crowds of men and boys, 

What a bustle! What a noise! 

Sure all the world is here to participate our joys, . 

Here's the matron and the prtide, 

"O boys you re very rude," 

And here's old l-'aul Pry, with his "hope I don't intrude." 

For we're all prying, peeping, looking, 

For we're all gaping here in Baltimore. 

Come, come along with me, 

And you'll see the Committee, 

And the venerable Carroll, the friend of liberty; 

The hand that held the pen. 

Never falters, but again 

Is employed with the spade to assist his fellow men. 

For they're all digging, blowing, blasting, 

For they're all working here in Baltimore. 

Here's the Mayor and the Council, 

And the Judges of the Court, 

Here's the Sheriff and the Marshall, and Collector of the Port; 

Here's the pulpit and the bar, 

Here are strangers from afar. 

And here's what remains of the mighty men of war, 

Who are all going one after t'other. 

There's very few left us here in Baltimore. 

Here's the Brotherhood so true. 

All in purple and in bliie, 

With their badges and their tools, all ready for the work, 

See there's the Royal Arch, 

How beautifully they march, 

And the Knights of the Temple to protect us from the Turk. 

For they're all cutting, slashing yonder, 

But we tlon't fear them here in IBaltimore. 

Here's the trades with their banners. 

Coopers, Curriers and Tanners, 

With the Carpenters and Saddlers, and Hatters not a few; 

Here's the Butchers with their cleavers. 

Painters. Plasterers and Weavers. 

And Pat with the shovel and drop of whiskey too. 

For we're all drinking, toastini;. tippling. 

For we're all tipsy here in Baltimore. 



SONG FOR THK DAY. 



23 



Here's the Tailors! What a si^ht' 

And the Smiths black and white. 

And here come the Shoemakers wlio fit us left and riL;ht; 

Here's the men who cut the Glass, 

And those who work in Brass. 

And the Printers with the Devil, stand by and let 'em pass, 

For they're all busy printing verses. 

On the grand show we have in Baltinmre. 

Here's the Captains and the Mates, 

'With the ship United States, 

Here's the Builders and Riggers, with the Makers of the Ropes: 

Here's the Pilots with their compass, 

Carters, Draymen — What a rumpus! 

With the Juvenile Association, marshal'd all in groups. 

For we're all marching, march, march, marching. 

For we're ail marching here in Baltimore. 

Now halt the parade. 

While the Corner Stone is laid. 

And the prayers ascend to heaven to aid the enterprise; 

See Rountree with his band, 

Takes an elevated stand. 

And the Carrollton March re-echoes to the skies; 

We shall all play it. whistle it and sing it. 

We shall all play it here in Baltimore. 

And when the road is made. 

With the I'ick and the Spade. 

In the Locomotive Engine they put a little fire. 

And while the kettle boils. 

We may ride three hundred miles, 

Or go to bed in Baltimore, and breakfast in Ohio; 

For they're all waiting, hoping, praying, 

For a quick way to come to Baltimore. 

Chorus. — O we're all full of life, fun and jollity. 
We're all crazy here in Baltimore.

THE \'ALLEY OI" THE .SHENANDOAH. 



A T Harper's Ferry, where Maryland, 
■'- ^ Louiion and ISolivar Heights each 
in turn throw their shadows on the con- 
fluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah 
Rivers, the beautiful " X'alley of the 
Shenandoah" commences. Rich in his- 
toric lore, unsurpassed in lieauty and 
proud of its ancestry, this lovely valley 
of Virginia rests quietly in the bosom 
of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Moun- 
tains, happily oblivious of the rushing, 
boiling turmoil of busy life outside of its 
mountain walls. All is peace and rest- 



fulnt'SS now. and. indeed, it is well 
earned, for there is hardly a foot of 
ground in all the valley but what has 
felt the trod of soldier's feet and has 
been shaken by the thunder of artillery. 
Leaving Harper's Ferry, the Valley 
division of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- 
road wends its way to the southward 
in companionship with the Shenandoah 
River. The scenery is so diversified as 
to almost defy description. To the west 
are the North anci Shenandoah Moun- 
tains: to the east the hazy outlines of the

The first station of any importance 
is Charlestown, where John Brown and 
his companions were tried and hanged. 

Seventeen miles further is Stephen-

tlie most popular health resorts in the

Reid's famous poem, • ' Sheridan's Ride. " 
From Capon Road, eighteen miles 
below Winchester, a stage ride of six 
teen miles leads to Capon Springs, one 
of the largest resorts in the valley. The 
drive to the springs affords a most de- 
Hghtful diversion, as it is through a 



climbs beyond 75 degrees. ''Old Vir- 
giny " can be found everywhere about 
Capon Springs. The old thatched tav-

ered mills present pictures soothing in- 
deed to one accustomed to the stiff, con- 
ventional walls of modern architecture. 
Every one in search of really medic-

try. The "Springs" are nestled in a 
narrow valley and beside a beautiful 
little crystal lake of perhaps a mile in 
length. A commodious southern hotel 
and cottages make this resort an exceed- 
ingly popular summer home. The ther- 
mometer in the heated term rarely 



inal mineral waters and baths of almost 
any temperature can find in Capon 
Springs every variety. Iron and sul- 
phur abound in great quantities and the 
climate is at all times cool and dry, with 
an average thermometer during the 
summer months between 60 and 75 de- 
grees. 



THE I'ALLEV OF THE SHENANDOAH. 



Three miles beyond Capon Road is 
Strasbur;,' Junction, the end of the first 
half of the Valley division of the Balti- 
more & Ohio Railroad and the com- 
mencement of the Southern Railway, 
which forms the connecting link for the 
next forty miles to Harrisonburg. On 
this branch is Mt. Jackson, twenty-two 
miles below Strasburg Junction, from 
which point a stage ride of twelve 
miles leads to the famous Orkney 
Springs and Shenandoah Alum Springs. 



there are also chalybeate, sulphur, iron 
and arsenic, making this resort a favor- 
ite one among invalids. 

Fifteen miles below Mt, Jackson is 
Broadway, the railway station for the 
Lee White Sulphur Springs, which is

THE LOVERS' LEAP 



I. LAMPION. 



QVEKLOOKING the lialtimore & 
Ohio Railroad, where it swings 
gracefully around the banks of the Po- 
tomac, near Sir John s Run, is the high 
ridge, the most conspicuous point of 
which is the crag known as "Lovers' 
Leap. " I'^om this coign of vantage, the 
eye rests upon the beautiful valley in 
which the town of Hancock is set like a 
gem, threaded upon the silver strands of 



the meandering Potomac and the narrow 
line of the canal. Into the purple hori- 
zon, the spurs of the Alleghenies lift their 
verdant peaks and at the feet of the be- 
holder lie the three States of Maryland, 
West X'irginia, and I'ennsylvania, so 
close that he may almost stretch out his 
hand and touch them. There is a legend 
iif this romantic spot which may be inter- 
preted, as follows : 



Above the deep Potomac's flow. 

Whose quiet waters beat 
Li rhythmic measures on the sands, 

That silver o'er the feet 
Of green-clad mountains, grim gray crags 

Their ceaseless vigils keep. 
And guard with everlasting care 

The wraith of Lovers' Leap. 



There stood she high above the tide. 

The same to-day as when 
It softly slid its ripples down 

The green-clad mountain glen; 
And as she stood, she gazed aloft 

To that blue sky above. 
Which turned a leaden gray to her, 

Neglected in her love. 



Upon that rock where now may stand 

The maiden and the man 
Of new and less heroic times, 

And. widely reaching, scan 
P~ar Pennsylvania's rolling hills 

And near Virginia's plain. 
And green walled Maryland across 

The river's rolling main. 



For in her woodland home that day 

The light no longer shone. 
That made her heart an empire with 

A lover on its throne. 
The light had with the lover fled, 

And she in darkness stood 
Upon that unresponsive crag 

And sighed in solitude. 



In other years a maiden stood, 

Whose soul was white, though red 
As nature's copper was her face; 

And on her royal head — 
liowed underneath a broken heart — 

Her tresses placed a crown 
As regal as the deer-skin web 

That made her wedding gown. 



Her weary eyes sought everj' point; 

She called, but none replied; 
Then with a little moan of pain 

She leaped out toward the tide. 
Down! down, she fluttered like a leaf, 

Or spirit, and the deep 
And kindly waters gently soothed 

The broken heart to sleep. 



In later years an old cliief stood 

Remorseful on that stone; 
Bowed down by age and grief and shame, 

He faced himself alone. 
And looking up, as she had looked, 

He plunged — and down the steep 
A wraith came forth to meet its mate 

Pelow the Lovers' Leap. 



HIGH SPY." 



KV N. P. RUNVAN. 



"TlJIGHspy' Home free ! High spy! 
■'--'■ Home free !" 

'■O, it was the sweetest little face 
that mortal ever set eyes upon. She 
was peering around a big lilac bush 
where I lay panting and exhausted. 
The Federal cavalry was after me. I 
could see them in the valley below, less 
than half a mile away. I had dropped 
down behind this bush in the yard of an 
old southern mansion to get breath and 
reconnoiter. 

If they caught me I would be "High 
Spy," sure enough; for sp}' I really was. 

I was crouching before this sunny 
maid of six summers, and she thought 
we were having a great game of "I 
spy." She had it "High spy," as I be- 
lieve youngsters generally do. But who 
has'nt played it. 

"High spy! Home free!" she re- 
peated, and clapping her chubby hands, 
she started to run for "home." How 
my heart sank. It was all up with me 
now. This little one would betray me. 

I leaped to my feet and ran. The 
woods, or "bush," as we of the South 
call it, lay three hundred yards distant. 
I could never reach it. 

Scarcely knowing what I was doing, 
I wheeled about and ran back to the 
little girl. She must save me. 

"Little sweetheart! Little sweet- 
heart ! " I cried, dropping onto my 
knees and clasping my arms around 
her. "The mans are after me. Don't 
tell mans on big horses where I hide. 
Tell 'em man went to bush yonder. 
Then we play 'High spy,' when they're 
gone." 

"All wight. Pearl won't tell mans," 
she said imitating my half-suppressed 
tones, her big. blue eyes opened wide 
with baby mysteriousness. 

I dashed into an old wood shed and 
crawled behind some lumber standing 
on end in a corner. It scarcely covered 
me. A saber thrust would unearth me. 
Two sides of the shed were torn away. 
I could readily see out from my scant 
hilling place. I beheld my pursuers 
wheel around the hill and dash through 
the orchard below. They went by like 



a blue flash. I could hear their sabers 
clanking. Another instant and they 
were in the yard. 

"Man don away," said a little piping 
voice. 

"What did you say my little girl?" 
I could hear the officer ask as he reined 
up. "Did you see a man running 
through here. ' 

' Es, I saw im. O-o-o he ran so 
hard. .Like dat. And he breaved so 
hard. Like dat. " 

The squad laughed. She had evi- 
dently tried to imitate my running and 
my panting. 

"Come on; he aint here," said one. 

"Hadn't we better search the house 
and buildings?" was another suL;gestion. 
It was plain that a sergeant or corporal 
was in charge. 

"O, he'd know better than that. 
His only safety is in the bush, and if 
we don't hurry he'll get away yet. Ask 
the baby. She'll tell us.'' 

"Is the man 'round here anywhere, 
little girl!"' 

" Man in the bush. " 

And awa}' they went pell-mell. 

My little Pearl had saved me. But 
I dare not move. Some of them may 
have been left to search, after all. 

I heard a step. My heart was in 
my throat. Some one touchetl the pile 
of boards. 

"High spy you! High spy you! 
You're it." 

There she was peering around the 
timbers at me. My good, little angel ! 
A halo of golden hair all about her 
sweet face. 

Was there a hugginti match then ? 
Did anybody get smothered with kisses? 
Well, there never was its like before or 
since. Never. 

Did we play "High spy." We did. 
I would have kept my word with her if 
that whole Union squad had returned, 
and sat on their horses looking at us. 
I knew that in boldness lay my safety 
then. I surmised that they would re- 
turn in half an hour. So we played, 
and I watched the "bush." 

In the meantime we had fixed up a 



i6 



'HIGH SPY." 



better hiding place with a barrel, under 
a pile of old shingles. If they came 
again, I was to crawl in and Pearl was 
to pull the shingles down over the 
mouth of the barrel. 

They came back. 1 saw them in 
the edge of the bush before they were 
looking our way. What fun it was for 
little Pearl to put me in the barrel and 
cover me up with the old wet shingles. 
I told her to go out in the yard and 
play. She did. I heard her switching 
the lilac bushes. 

Would she be equal to it this time?" 

All this happened in December, 11^63, 
shortly after the battle of Missionary 
Ridge. I knew all that country. I 
had piloted the right wing of Bragg's 
army through the bush the previous 
September when they were maneuver- 
ing to fall upon Rosecrans' left. Then 
later at Missionary Ridge I had done 
some service. I had been inside the 
Union lines several times, and was final- 
ly captured. They suspected me, but 
had nothing definite enough on which 
to hang me in a hurry; so they held me 
to do so at their leisure. My extreme 
youthfulness was in my favor. 

The Union army was encamped 
around Chattanooga for the winter. 

One night I escaped. I had crawled 
on my hands and knees, and was only a 
short distance from the guard line when 
morning came. They saw me as I 
crossed an open stretch and a squad of 
cavalry took after me. And there I was 
under that pile of old shingles, my life 
hanging upon the cuteness of that little 
maid. 

"Halt!" came a voice from the 
roadway. 

"Little girl, show us how the man 
ran." 

There was a pause, then a shout of 
laughter. 

The clank of their sabers died away 
in the distance. 

'• Home free! " sure enough! 

Did I forget my little saviour? 
Never. Will I ever forget her? Never. 
She was to be my sweetheart evermore. 
Did I ever see her again? Yes, often 
and often. At sixteen she was as fair 
as the lily and as sweet as the rose. I 
was her senior by ten years. Her people 
had lost everything by the war. I per- 
suaded a brother of hers to accept of my 



means and send her to boarding school. 
He understood, and acted like a man. 
Wasn't she mine already? 

One day I went into the Read House 
in Chattanooga to buy a cigar. As I 
stood there, smoking, the proprietor of 
the cigar stand said to me; 

"I promised a Northerner this morn- 
ing to take him out on Missionary Ridge. 
I find I can't go. You take my place. 
You know more about that country than 
I do, anyway." 

I had leisure. I said I would go. 
The young man came in and we started. 
On the way out, he said: 

" My friend, Pll tell you what I want 
to go out for. I chased a Confederate 
spy through that section one day. I 
was in the cavalry service. We lost him 
near an old mansion. He got away in- 
to the bush. The sweetest little girl I 
ever laid my eyes on showed us where 
he had run across the yard. I can see 
her yet, stretching her little limbs to 
show us how he ran. I have often 
wondered if she escaped the horrors of 
war. I want to see if we can find the 
old mansion." 

My old enemy, " I spy! '' 

A jealous pang went through me like 
a shot. 

" Is it really the old place you want 
to see? " 

I said it in such an abrupt way that 
he looked up. A flush overspread his 
face. 

■' It would be delightful to meet her 
and recall that da}'." 

He was frank enough about it. He 
was after me, then. Now, he was after 
my sweetheart. There are strifes in 
peace as well as in war. If he should 
see her now he would try to get her from 
me. I could keep him from finding the 
place. Should I? No! I would be a 
man. 

"Describe the place," said I. 

He did. 

I told him I knew where it was. 

" Is the girl alive? Do you know 
her? " 

"I know the family." I said stiffly. 

Again he looked at me in a queer 
way. 

We rode on in silence. 

Suddenly he exclaimed; " IJy jove! 
There's the place." 



HIGH SPY. 



17 



I had been guiding him toward it. 
If he rode by I had determined that he 
should never be any the wiser. 

One day I called upon my little 
Pearl. I often did so. 

"Whom do you think has been to 
see me? " she said. 

I couldn't guess, but there was a 
pain in my heart. 

•'Your old cavalry friend." 

My old cavalry friend. He did'nt 
need a guide any more. 

"I might have known it." There 
was bitterness in my voice. 

•' Don't be cross. Here, let me pin 
this rose in your lapel." As she did so 
I kissed her. It was all right. O. what 
a sweet afternoon we had. 

But that Union fellow kept coming. 
I knew he would. 1 had already begun 
to see that she looked upon me as upon 
a father or elder brother. Her own 
father had been killed in the war. With 
what bitterness I saw my sweetheart 
being stolen from me. How I repented 



me of bringing him out on the Ridge 
that day. But he won her. They are 
now living in a Massachusetts town. 

I see them frequently. He'll never 
know how I love her. I never see her 
but what that sweet vision of the little 
face behind the lilac bush comes to me. 
He and I always quarrel over politics. 
He is oneof those "mean Republicans," 
and he says I am still a '-Butternut 
rebel." Then Pearl patches up a truce. 
But I guess honors are about even. It's 
all right. Who am I, an\way.' O. I'm 
only a garrulous old bachelor doctor. 
He's my brother-in-law. I'm living 
with them. 

I've played "high spy " with Pearl's 
children around those same old lilac 
bushes down there at the old mansion 
on the Ridge. We spend the winters 
there. Well, well, well. Time works 
wonders. What's this? a tear! You- 
foolish-olii-rascal. How happ)' I am —

THE BOOM THAT FAILED. 



BY LOUIS CAMPBELL. 



AT the beginning of the year 1897 1 
■'- ■*■ was advised to go West for my 
health, and having decided on Arizona, 
eventually landed at a small settlement 
on the railroad which I shall call 
"Lonesome," as it was really more ap- 
propriate than its proper name. 

The only excuse a train had for stop- 
ping there was for water, and then the 
engine seemed to cough in an apologetic 
manner as it drew up at the tank. 

The few residents of the place were 
rough, uneducated, and in the majority, 
uncouth. Oaths were used indiscrimi- 
nately on all occasions, with particular 
leaning toward the word "Hell." I once 
remonstrated with Patsy Corrigan, the 
station agent, regarding his free use of 
the word, and he Irishly replied, " Why, 
whereon Earth else would I send him?" 

Patsy was the Poo Bah of the place, 
being section boss, station agent and 
town marshal all in one. In the capac- 
ity of the latter his duties were light, 
as the men never got drunk except on 
pay day, and the only permanent Indian 
in the place was seldom sober enough 
to make trouble. 

One day a Chinaman arrived, and 
the next, was arrested for profiuiity, but 
it was decided he was only trying to 
learn their language. 

On the whole it was a quiet place 
and we varied the monotony of loafing 
at the general store by going to the 
station at train time. 

Although improving in general 
health, I might have succumbed to eninii 
had not Patsy come to me one day with 
his hands full of posters and a puzzled 
look on his face. 

" Good inornin'. sor, and could ye 
tell me what a Y. P. S. C. Eter is? " 

"A what?" 

" A Y. P. S. C. Eter. Here it is on 
the bills," and he handed me a poster 
advertising the Christian l"2ndeavor ex- 
cursion. I explained who they were. 

"Will any of them stop here do you 
think?'' 

"I am afraid not. Patsy; they are 
going through to California." 

" Thot is always the way, sor: ivery 



wan goes through and when the train 
stops for water, they poke their heads 
out of the windys and sez, ' What a 
divil of a dreary place.' \\'e would be 
a fine city, sor if the people what pass 
through would only stay." 

"Why don't you make the station 
attractive," I jokingly suggested. "Have 
the Chinaman and Indian there when 
the excursion passes. You might also 
persuade some of the cow punchers to 
be on hand for the occasion." 

After a moment's thought he said, 
"I will do thot very thing, sor. ' He 
had taken my suggestion seriously. 

During the next few weeks Patsy 
was very busy. He had orders to see 
that the track was in perfect condition. 
Then he sobered the Indian and had a 
long conference with him, which ended 
in the Indian's disappearance. 

The Chinaman, in the meantime had 
concluded to leave the place, but was 
again arrested on some trumped up 
charge and only kept out of jail by prom- 
ising to remain until after the excur- 
sion. 

I might mention also that jack rab- 
bits, alwajs so plentiful, became scarce, 
and a mangy old bear belonging to 
Corrigan, and counted among the inhab- 
itants of the place, was growing fat and 
slick. 

"What in the world are you doing, 
Pat?" I exclaimed one day unable to 
suppress my curiosity. 

"Wait and see, sor," he replied 
with a knowing wink, " I lived in Chi- 
cago wance. " 

The little settlement awoke to find 
itself busy; or rather worked itself 
awake, and waking found itself in the 
dark; for Pat directed the operations 
and vouchsafed no explanations. Around 
the hitherto desolate little station sprung 
up every variet}' of cactus obtainable in 
the vicinity. Innocent mounds of sand 
appeared along the railroad track, and 
which I discovered to be veritable 
dug-outs, the openings visible at the 
sides furthermost from the tracks. 
Spurious town lots were staked off in all 
directions, the majoritj' of which were 



THE BOOM THAT FAILED.

labled in large letters, ''Sold." Choice 
ones were still "For Sale.'' Surmount- 
ing a large pile of srjuare red granite 
stones cut and piled promiscuously in 
times prehistoric by nature alone, was 
a sign which bore the legend: "This 
Cort Hous is bein' ereckted by Patrick 
Sullivan, Contracktor. ' 

Even the water tank did not escape, 
for carefully chalked in white letters 
was the very familiar story of tlie im- 
mense depth of the well supplying it. 

I railed Pat on this and warned liim 
some traveler might wish to drink of it. 

"The sign and water is the same 
sor, prett}' much all lye. ' 

At last the eventful day was at hand. 
Number Four was scheduled to arrive, 
take water, and depart at 10:30 A. M. 

Pat was awake and busy all night. 
and I must confess that I felt like a 
child the day before Christmas. .\t 
last 1 went to sleep, and then over- 
slept myself, and had barely time to eat 
my breakfast when the smoke of the 
engine was seen in the distance, 

I hardly recognized the station. Not 
only had the entire town turned out, 
but a band of cattle men. rigged as 
no cowboys ever were, came from a 
big ranch over in the valley, and were 
fully in touch with the spirit of thu 
occasion. The lone Indian had re- 
turned, and with him, the major part 
of his tribe, painted and iiedecked — 
the women loaded with ijuaint pottery 
and pappooses ; the braves stood stol- 
idly in a row peering over their closely 
folded blankets ever on the alert for 
any stray nicki-Is their squaws might 
earn by showing a bab\' or making a 
deal in amateur ceramics. 

The long line of coaches glided up 
to the station, the windows filled with 
the faces of sweet young girls, while on 
the steps were the men anxious to 
stretch themselves and take a nearer 
view of the show. 

No sooner had the train come to a 
full stop than a shot rang out, and 
apparently a cowboy had shot his com- 
panion, and with less time than it takes 
to tell it. the men had scampered back 
on the train. 

The supposed dead man was carried 
to the rear of the station, eventually to 
reappear innocently through the waiting 
room door. 



This performance was repeated at 
intervals of about a minute. 

Then a jack rabbit, suddenly appear- 
ing, ran for his life across the plain, fol- 
lowed by a number of Indian dogs. 
Another and another appeared, until the 
place seemed alive with them. I now 
understood the purpose of the little dug 
outs and the sudden scarcity of rabbits. 
They had been caught and stored in the 
little cellars, to be turned loose at the 
proper moment. i\s the last one scam- 
pered out of sight, I was warned by cries 
from the cars to " Look Out, and turn- 
ing saw the old bear trotting toward me. 
Pats " Piece de Resistance ' had been 
left oH. The old fellow was about as 
harmless as a buffalo robe; whose only 
trick was to roll over for any tidbit one 
might give him. As I had often fed 
him sugar, I knew full well that should 
he reach me, the awful wild animal 
would be most ignominiously exposed; 
so I ran and the bear after nie. Round 
and round the station we went, the bear 
gaining at every stride. Coming again 
to the front, I took advantage of the 
open door, and rushed in pell-mell, the 
bear following at my heels, and he in 
turn followed by the cowboys who 
thoughtfully closed the door and began 
a fusillade that would have made a 
thoughtful person wonder how much 
killing a bear required. Then we came 
out and announced its death. 

1 did not dare look a sweet little miss 
in the eyes as she seriously congratulated 
me on my narrow escape. 

Pat, in the meantime, was a study. 
To him this was no joke, for he fondly 
believed that these glimpses of game for 
the huntsman, semi-civilized and pictur- 
esque inhabitants for the artist, combined 
with the immense opportunities in real 
estate for the speculator, would surely 
change some of our passing visitors into 
lucrative guests. 

But not a trunk was thrown from 
the baggage car, nor did a traveler seek 
to use his stop-over privileges. 

One lady really did step off. the car 
with what we supposed was a valise, 
but when she aimed a kodak at us. there 
was a stampede for choice places behind 
the station. 

Slowly she walked after us, and as 
slowly but surely we kept the station 
between her and ourselves. We had

THE BOOM THAT FAILED. 



again reached the platform and with a 
scout peering out on either side, for the 
moment considered ourselves secure, 
when some one chanced to glance at the 
train. 

"The Devil.'' 

There at the windows, on the steps, 
everywhere, were at least half a hundred 
of those dreaded inventions viciously 
clicking as the shutters were sprung. 
It was too late to run. now the deed was 
done. 

W'e were taken aback in more senses 
than one, as we had all stood on the 
platform, in front of and facing the sta- 
tion. If this should by chance come to 
the notice of anyone possessing a pic- 
ture of a desolate station on the desert, 
with the backs of a lot of cowboys and 
Indians who are standing thereby, I 
simply wish to emphatically state that 
the one whose clothes are badly worn by 
constant contact with a Mexican saddle, 
is not I. 

It was a positive relief to hear the 
conductor's ' All aboard.' 

Their "good by," "good by," with 
the waving of handkerchiefs, was an- 
swered characteristically by throwing 
our hats in the air and shooting holes 
in them (not our own, but some other 
fellow's), and my new sombrero was a 
sight. 

Then came a calm as when the tem- 
pest draws its breath to blow out all 
the lights of nature; and truly 'their 
second condition was worse tlian the 
first.' 

By this time Pat was the center of 
the whirlwind. It seemed that in order 
to produce his unique show he had to 
offer special inducements. 

To the Indians he had made prom- 
ises of ready sales of their pottery, while 
the cowboys had been given to under- 
stand that a number of visitors were 
coming to jolly them with a dance, but 
the good time promised proved to be 
a myth. 

Suddenly remembering that I had 
offered the original suggestion, I (juietly 



started for home, but had taken few 
steps before I was lassoed and rounded 
up in good style. I don't think Pat 
told, but they seemed to know I was 
partialh' to blame. 

" Now that you have us here, mister, 
it's hardly square to desert us" 

The speaker was a big, fine looking 
fellow, whose rough accent was partly 
assumed. 

"As the main promoter of this great 
boom, it is clearly your duty to exon- 
erate yourself in an effusive but unosten- 
tatious manner. " 

"Why certainly," said I, "We'll all 
have some." So, leading and led, I 
headed the procession to the true desert 
watering place, the saloon. 

What would my folks at home have 
thought had they seen me at that 
moment, surrounded by an unquench- 
able thirst and offering the "Sop to 
1-Lsop " at the expense of all my ready 
money, and unfortunately, my credit 
being good, my next month's allowance. 

The boys had concluded to release 
me when some one said I played the 
fiddle. 

In a moment the iloor was cleared, 
my violin brought, and I found myself 
perched on the bar, playing with more 
energy than time. 

Pat was made to dance. 

All afternoon and through the long 
hours of the night it continued, and 
when we remonstrated were told that it 
was our party and they were guests by 
invitation. 

At last it ended, and limping out to 
breathe the early morning air I encoun- 
tered a solitary figure standing at the 
station. It was Pat, and I walked o\'er 
to him. 

He was looking down the track and 
evidently thinking of the excursion. 
With a melancholy glance at the "Cort 
Hous " and "Town Lots' and like re- 
sults of his many days labor, he turned 
to me and wailed: "And not a dom 
wan of them stayed."

brated for its historical associations, are 
the Caverns of Luray. 

The caves were discovered in 1S7S, 
and shortly thereafter were opened to 
the public. The full extent of their sub- 
terranean depths was not then known 
or even dreamed of, and not until 
thoroughly equipped e.xploring parties 
had penetrated seemingly endless cham- 
bers and labyrinthine passages were 
their boundless riches disclosed and 



ber of visitors has been enormous. 
Persons from all quarters of the globe 
— scientists, explorers and tourists, have 
wandered through the wonderful cham- 
bers, and the general verdict of their 
united testimony is that Luray Caverns 
excel all others in the combined extent, 
variety, scientific interest and beauty of 
their calcite formations. A party sent 
out from the Smithsonian Institution 
report that, "comparing this great

natural curiosity with othersof the same 
class, it is safe to say that there is proba- 
bly no other cave in the world more 
completely and profusely decorated with 
stalactitic and stalagmitic ornamenta- 
tion than that of Luray.' 

Recognizing the inestimable value 
of their remarkable possession, the man- 
agement of the caverns have provided 
every facility for visiting all the cham- 
bers and seeing all the wonders in the 
most comfortable manner. Cement 
walks have been laid, stairways, bridges, 
and iron railings have been erected 
where such help was 
necessary, and the 
entire subterranean 
palace is illuminated 
by both arc and in 
candescent electric 
lights. The interior 
is singularly free 
from dampness or 
dripping water, and 
no special prepara- 
tion for the visit is 
needed in the matter 
of clothing. Plain 
clothing and stout 
shoes comprise the 
necessary outfit, 
wraps being super- 
fluous, as the tem 
perature remains, 
winter and summer, 



at about 54 degrees. 
Entering the grand 
vestibule, the first 
emotion felt by the 
visitor is one of mute 
wonder. The mind 
fails to grasp the 
L;randeur revealed in 
such a majestic man- 
ner, until it gradual- 
ly accustoms itself 
to the monstrous 
shapes, the almost 
perceptible silence 
and the weird influ- 
ence of this subter- 
ranean realm. Queer 
shapes present them- 
selves at every turn, 
aping grotesque!}' 
the obiects of the outer world, now sug- 
gesting some growth of animal life, now 
resembling some familiar vegetable for- 
mation, or taking the shape and form 
of some creation of man. Glittering 
stalactites blaze in front, fluted columns, 
draperies in broad folds and a thousand 
tints, cascades of snow-white stone, illu- 
minated by the glare of the electric light, 
fill the mind with curious sensations of 
wonder and admiration. Awe and rev-

THE CA\'ERNS OF LURAY. 




The various apartments and objects 
have all been named in honor of some 
distinguished personage or after some 
thing to which they bear a striking 
resemblance. 

The Elfin Ramble, an open plateau 
five hundred feet long by one hundred 
in breadth, is the playground of the 
princesses of this fairy realm. Pluto's 
Chasm, a wide rift in the walls, contains 
a spectre clothed in shadowy draperies. 
Hovey's Hall is adorned with statuary 
and stalactite draperies, which, for beau 
ty of coloring, translucency and symme- 
trical folding, are une.xcelled by any- 
thing in the cave. Giant's Hall is a 
vast space, embracing several chambers. 
Heroic sentinel forms loom up on every 
side, guarding the marvelous beauty of 
Titania's Veil, and watching over thi 
crystal waters of Diana's Bath. 'J'he 
Saracen's Tent, the Cathedral, with its 
grand organ, and the liridal Chamber 
all bear striking resemblance to the ob 
jects for which they are named. Hades, 
a region sparkling with limpid lakes and 
peopled with goblins, receives its name 
from the bewildering windings and laby- 



rinthine meanderings through which the 
tourist must tread his way. Notwith- 
standing its uninvitin;; name, it is a very 
attractive portion of the cave and con- 
tains many wonderful formations. The 
]!all Room, a magnificent apartment, 
gorgeously furnished, is full of interest, 
while Campbell's Hall, named for the 
discoverer of the ca\e, is rich in beau- 
tiful and enchanting ornamentation. 

In addition to the solid formations 
of stone and crystal, a number of beau- 
tiful lakes are found in various parts of 
the caves. 

Crystal Lake is a body of pellucid 
water in a setting of sparkling stalactites. 
antl the Imperial Spring is a silver pool 
richly enclosed in a forest of columns. 
It is arched above with myriads of sta- 
lactities, reflected with most beautiful 
effect in the calm flood of the spring. 
The transparent waters of these lakes 
are so deceptive that rash visitors fre- 
quently subject themselves to a wetting 
in order to convince their skeptical 
minds of the genuineness ol the fluid. 

No other caverns are known in which 
there can be found such an infinite 
variety of quaint, curious and wonderful 
formations. Almost every object in

nature is here reproduced in startling 
similarity, while the curious shapes and 
indescribable grouping of thousands of 
others seem to be the handiwork of 
Nature in a playful mood. Fantastic, 
grotesque, beautiful, weird, grand and 
superb, are words which find expression 
on the lips of every one who gazes upon 
the treasures of this "house not made 
with hands. " 

During the winter of 1897 and 1898 
new portions of this underground won- 
der, heretofore unexplored, were opened 
and made accessible to visitors. 

In this newly developed section the 
high arching and richly ornamented 
domes found in other parts of the Cav- 
erns are a leading attraction, but the 
decorations of those here found are 
unique and surpass any previously dis- 
covered. Instead of the chandelier ef- 
fect, with its bewildering and glittering 
array of translucent pendants which 
characterize the ceiling of the Ball 
Room, Campbell's Hall and others, the 
surface here is a mosaic of rich patches 
of formations like seaweed and coral, 
in varied hues, from rich seal brown 
and deep salmon to the most delicate 
tint of rose.

These formations appearing at close 
intervals are massed in a brilliant mo- 
saic by great wa\ es of frothy white and 
cream, like the foam of the ocean tossed 
and whirled by the waves. Surmount- 
ing all this rich ornamentation that bids 
defiance to the work of Art, are exqui- 
site flutings of the richest and most 
delicate order, in pearly white and 
cream. 

Under the brilliant rays of the elec- 
tric light, the effect of this rich blending 
of color is far grander than that of the 
most magnificent sunset the upper earth 
has ever known. 

These "Senate Halls of Nature" can 
be compared to no work of man's hand. 
The finest work of Art would be a mute 
and bafHed mimicry in the review of 
such intricate and gorgeous ornamen- 
tation.

sented in these newly discovered cham- 
bers as in heretofore explored portions

Columns grand and

representing statuary, 
both in bronze and mar-

new section, which is 
also especially rich in 
the multitude, size and 
magnificence of its vol- 
uminous draperies,

the waving effect, in- 
stead of the perpendicular fall, is strik- 
ingly distinguishable. 

These new discoveries are equal to 
anything yet known in the Luray Cav- 
erns. 

It is a task of recognized difficulty to 
describe the indescribable. This diffi- 
culty is enhanced, if possible, in the 
case of cave scenery by the fact that the 
impressions it leaves upon the mind of 
the beholder differ not so much in de- 
gree as in kind from those of past e,\- 
periince. A new order of sensations, 
ideas and emotions demand, of course.

a new vocabulary. No straining or ex-

the upper world will enable it to describe 
adequately the wonderful phenomena 
presentetl in this realm of stalacta. The 
visitor who attempts description must 
be content, therefore, with seeking to

TO THE MIGIIKR COURT 



V.\ N. 1>. KL'NNAN. 



"T'LL carry it to tlie hi^^her court. 
That's what I will. They're per- 
secuting me; that's what they are; and 
I'll not have it. I've paid my last fine, 
and I'm going to fight now if it takes 
my last cent. " 

John Fulweiler was a saloonkeeper 
in the little town of Millbank, in an 
eastern state, and had just paid a fine 
before the mayor for keeping open at 
unlawful hours. A fight against the 
saloons was on in that little hamlet, and 
Fulweiler had been arrested and fined 
five times. Now he was determined to 
fight. He had been drinking, too, and 
was taking a furious scolding out on 
his wife. 

'■I suppose them there fanatics of 
temperance people will be after me 
again. And you won't be sorry. You'd 
see them send me to jail, and be glad 
of it, you would. But I don't want an}' 
more advice from you. I'm going to 
fight, and if they haul me up again I'll 
appeal it. They're all stingy, these 
temperance people, and it will break 
their hearts to spend a little money. 
You see that key? Well, that key opens 
that front door to-morrow morning at 
five o'clock. Yes, I know it's Sunday. 
Better the day, better the deed. Is 
that it .' You're always quoting some 
of your church drivel at me. It's going 
to be a cold night to-night, and I'm 
going to let the boys stay jest as long 
as they want to. They'll want to get 
good and warm before they'll feel like 
tacklin' the cold trip home. Some of 
'em might want to come back early, 
and I'm going to open up at five o'clock. 
No, I'll make it 4.30 just for luck; and 
that key'll stay right there on that table, 
so I can pick it up without any trouble 
when I get up, and I don't want the 
light put out in this room any more 
after I go to bed. " 

"Myrtie see key, papa. Myrtie see 
key. Myrtie like big key;' and his little 
two-and-a half year old Myrtle took the 
key from the irate saloonkeeper's hand 
and held it aloft in her tiny fist. John 
Fulweiler took the key away from his 



little daughter with an uncomfortable 
feeling tightening in his throat. Some- 
how he couldn't reconcile his business 
with his little pet. 

Mrs. I'ulweiler continued her sewing 
with a heavy heart. She looked down 
at her babe, and the tears blinded her 
eyes. Where would it all end? John 
Fulweiler had gone out into his bar and 
taken a drink. He was mad and didn't 
know what else to do. The wife had 
begged him to give up the business, so 
that she. and perhaps both of them, 
could join the church and move in the 
best society the place afforded, if only 
for the sake of their child. 

Fulweiler paced up and down behind 
his bar, muttering in his ire over the 
recent happenings; but things that his 
wife had pleaded for, especially since 
the birth of Myrtle, would come up and 
bother him. 

'■Pshaw' Me a church member; 
and goin' to prayer meeting. F"ah '. I 
like that. Ah, ha : ha ! O, well, I might. 
I might. Do anything for Myrtle. But 
I've got a few church people to get even 
with first. I'll make 'em pay for sneakin' 
and doggin' and spyin' on me. " And the 
soliloquizing saloonkeeper took another 
drink. His tongue was already beginning 
to thicken. He drank with customers 
during the evening, and when custom 
was slow he would e.xpedite matters by 
taking a drink with himself. Long be- 
fore the closing hour John Fulweiler 
was helped to his bed a limp and inert 
mass of bestiality. 

"Fran (hie) Frank, put th' key on 
th' table ihic), on th' table. I'll open 
up mysel' in th' (hic) mornin'. Pay no 
more fines. Fi fight. Fight. That's 
the word. Carry everything to higher 
court;" and the barkeeper left him to 
his maudlin mutterings. 

That night was a terrible one. A 
sudden change from a mild day brought 
on a blizzard of snow and sleet, which 
eddied and swirled in the cutting wind, 
blinding pedestrians, and nearly carry- 
ing them off their feet at the street 
corners; sifting in through the cracks

and crannies; making little drifts upon 
the inside of window ledges, and larger 
ones under the doors. The drift in 
John Fulweiler's saloon stretched al- 
most entirely across the floor by the 
early dawn of that gray and gloomy 
Sunday morning. 

John Fulvveiler kept his word. True 
to the unaccountable phenomena of the 
drink-befuddled brains, he awoke at 4.30 
and immediately arose. His brain was 
thick, and he was unsteady upon his 
feet. f-Jracing himself against the bed 
post he stood stupidly gazing into va- 
cancy with his finger ends in his hair. 
He was still too drunk to know that 
it was cold. He couldn't make out 
whether he was coming to bed or get- 
ting up. 

"I'll take a drink," he said, as he 
began to move along in a weaving way. 
his legs wide apart, his suspenders flop- 
ping. As he passed the table he noted 
the lighted lamp. "Wife's careless. 
How man)' times I told her 'bout th' 
lamp. Ef it wasn't fer me she'd burn 
this house up some day, an' us in it. 
An' us in it. An' then wouldn't our 
temperance friends be glad. I'll open 
up. Don't care what time it is. I'll 
open up. Where's that key? Want 
anything done, mus' do it yourself. 
'Better the day, better the deed.' That 
makes my wife mad to quote scriptur' 
on her." He had reached the bar, 
which was in an adjoining room to his 
own. "Christians is always throwin' 
things up to you by quotin'. Well, 
here's same to 'em. Guess I'll tickle 
'em when I take it to a higher court. 
Dad, but it's cold. I'm shakin' all over. 
John, you mus' quit drinkin' s'much. 
Well, here's to the temperance people. 
In th' language of the 'mmortal Rip, 
'und may they live long und brosper' 
— an' that's what I sa)-. Who's shakin' 
tha' door? Some feller comin' back. 
He'll freeze out there. Poor feller. 
He'll free-freeze out there. All righ', 
all righ', in a minute," and he raised 
the glass unsteadily to his lips as he 



braced against the bar and turned his 
face toward the door. 

His quaking hand never reached his 
lips. Half way up he held it, as though 
paralyzed, his blearj' eyes transfixed up- 
on something white lying against the 
door, the snow drifting up around it. 
A little white hand holding a big key, 
was reaching up as if to unlock the 
door. A little blueish-white foot, frozen 
stiff, showed from under the night-gown 
braced out in the snow. Little Myr- 
tle trying to "open up. " Swift as the 
lightning stroke the sobering breath 
came. 

"My God! Sarah. Myrtle, Myrtle's 
dead!" His terrible cry rang through 
the house. When the poor mother and 
neighbors rushed in they found John 
Fulweiler groveling in the snow upon 
the floor, coddling the little form to his 
breast, mumbling and moaning like a 
madman, the little night-gown rattling 
stiff and hard against him, the little 
frozen hand griping a big frosted key. 
Almost blotted out under the accum- 
ulating film of snow could be traced 
the prints of the little bare feet across 
the floor. She must have been there 
for hours. 

They carried the strong man and the 
little one away. There was some life 
still in the tiny body. It was a long 
time before they could release the stif- 
fened fingers from around the key, and 
as they did so the blue eyes opened and 
looked up into their faces. 

"Myrtle open the door for papa." 
and as the words came the sweet light 
in the little blue eyes grew dimmer and 
dimmer and went out. The little soul 
had winged its flight; Myrtle had car- 
ried it to a higher court. 

John Fulweiler never opened the 
door of that saloon. He never entered 
the room again. The stock was dis- 
posed of for the benefit of creditors; he 
would not even touch what was left of 
the proceeds. The case had been car- 
ried to a court from which there was no 
appeal.

' I ' H K system of traveling libraries, 
under the care of the state, was 
introduced to the American people in 
1892. In that year the legislature of 
New York authorized such libraries, and 
in February. 1893, the first one was sent 
out from Albany. From the day that 
New York began the experiment, interest 
has been growing, and more than half 
a dozen states have already taken up 
the plan. The purpose is that those 
who dwell in a community far removed 
from a library may be able to obtain 
some of the privileges and advantages 
of those who have easy access to a large 
collection of books. In brief, on the 
application of responsible parties, and 
the payment of transportation, a selected 
number of volumes (usuallj' 50 or loo) 
are sent from the central library to a 
community, to circulate among the peo- 
ple for few months. The books so sent 
form the "traveling library." This is 
the New York plan, which is developing 
along the lines followed in Australia, 
where the traveling library has been in 
operation a number of years. 

But long before the state of New 
York had taken up the traveling library 
some of our American railroad com- 
panies were circulating books to the em- 
ployes along their lines; and those 
states that have adopted the system of 
traveling libraries can e.xtend their use- 
fulness by enlisting the interest of rail- 
roads and railroad men in the work. 
The railroad, the means of travel, should 
be made the means of introducing the 
traveling library into every corner of 
the state. The e.xperience of the Balti- 
more & Ohio Railroad is direct evidence 
that the effort would be crowned with 
success. 

During the last half century the 
state of New York has spent millions of 
dollars on books for the people. It is, 
therefore, not unnatural that there should 
be a larger use of the traveling library 
of a railroad in a section where, until 
within recent years, the free circulating 



lilirary was almost unknown. Such a 
library, in some of its features both 
original and unique, is found in the 
Baltimore A: Ohio 1-lmployes' Free Cir- 
culating Library. This library, after 
having been moved several times, is now 
at home in a large second-story room, in 
the building at the corner of Pratt and 
Poppleton streets, Baltimore, at the Mt. 
Clare shops. 

In 1S84 the late Dr. W, T. Barnard 
was "assistant to president" of the 
B. & O. corporation, and to him the 
library is largely, if not entirely, due. 
Dr. Barnard was actively interested in 
the B. ilv O. Relief Association (now 
the Relief Department), and thus ac- 
quired a knowledge "of the sad lack of 
educational facilities along the main 
stem and branches of the Baltimore & 
Ohio Railroad." He therefore under- 
took to establish a free circulating library 
•■ exclusively for the use of the employes 
and families of employes of this service. " 
His plan was outlined in a circular, 
dated December i. 1884, from which the 
following is taken: 

"The estalilishiiient of .-i Free ('itculating 
Libr.-iry for the employes of the company is inider- 
taken in the belief that such an institution will be 
welcomed by all classes as a popular .ind desirable 
measure, and that, thri>ui.;h its ayencv and develop- 
ment, mucli-needed opportunity will be afforded 
employes to quahfy themselves for promotion and 
advancement in life, while at the same time their 
I'hildren, wherever located, will have at hand facili- 
ties for study and instructive reading matter seldom 
olitainable outside large cities. This will be done 
without cost to employes and in such a manner that 
the books furnished can be utilized not only at read- 
ing-rooms (not always convenient of access), but 
also amid the comforts and society of their li.mies. 

■■ The plan, in brief, is, by means of contrilm- 
tions of money and books, to establish a compact 
general and technical library, selected with special 
reference to the wants and tastes of employes and 
their families; to print inexpensive but carefully pre- 
pared catalogues and cards on which to make re- 
ciuisiiions for Ijo.jks, and to so distribute them that 
every member <an receive and return literature, 
without delay, through the company's train service. 

" This library is therefore to be e.sclusivelv for 
Iheuse of allemplines. theirwives. and more particu- 
larly, //ifir (iiildreil. Its mission will be to e.\ert 
an elevating anil educating influence on those it 
reaches. It will supply current periodicals, standard

works (HI the sciences, general literature, pijetcy. 
historical, text and otlier boolcs of practical utility to 
engineers, mechanics, Hremen and other railroad 
employes, and those especially adapted to educating 
and forming the character of the young, \\'hate\'er 
is immoral in tendency will be rigidly excluded from 
its shelves, and its management will do all it can to 
discourage the use of literature from which unhealthy 
and unreal ideas of life might be drawn, 

"It has been created and will be sustained by 
voluntary contributions of money and literature from 
the ohicers and employes of the Baltimore & Ohio 
Company and outside friends interested in their 
welfare, 

" Its headquarters will be at Haltimore; but it 
will undertake to distribute books, etc., to any point 
on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad lines." 

The plan, as outlined by Dr. Barnard, 
received the official sanction of the com- 
pany March 2, 18M5, through an order 
of the president, the late Robert Garrett. 
The order provided for the management 
of the library by a library committee, 
said committee to be composed of two 
directors of the Technological School, 
two members of the committee of man- 
agement of the Relief Association, anil 
a representative of the B. &0. Company, 
appointed by the president. The prin- 
cipal instructor of the Technological 
School and the secretary of the Relief 
Association were to be members of the 
library committee cx-ojficio. The Tech- 
nological School was abandoned some 
years ago, and since then its represen- 
tation on the committee has been 
dropped. When the Relief Association 
was changed to the Relief Department 
the corresponding officials of the latter 
became members of the library com- 
mittee. The library year begins Decem- 
ber I, and the members of the committee 
are appointed annually. The president 
of the company appoints the librarian. 

The library committee, as provided 
for in the president's order, organized 
and began work at once. They appealed 
for aid to those only who were finan- 
cially interested in the company. They 
collected j!5,39i and received about 
1,500 well selected books as donations. 
The nucleus of the collection was a 
donation of 600 volumes to the employes 
at Mt. Clare by the late John W. 
Garrett, in September i<S69. 

December 3, 1S85, the library began 
its work with 4,500 volumes on its 
shelves, 3,000 of which had been pur- 
chased. The first year 16,120 volumes 
were circulated, 4,850 at Mt. Clare, and 
the remainder at different stations on 



the lines of the B. cS: O. The circulation 
for the second year was 23,514; for the 
third year, 23,470, a slight decrease. 
The fourth year showed an increase of 
more than 2,000 over the previous year; 
and since then there has been a steady 
growth in the circulation. The circu- 
lation for 1895 was 37,702, and in 1896 
2,500 borrowers drew 39,505 volumes 
from the library. Since 1885 more than 
300,000 volumes have been drawn. 

These books travel as far westward 
as the Mississippi River, through eight 
great states, and over a railway system 
approximating 3,000 miles. They are 
delivered to borrowers through local 
agents, and the average time, from the 
placing of an order for a book in the 
hands of an agent until the book called 
for is in his hands, is now less than 24 
hours for the entire system. The library 
uses 674 agencies, each agency serving 
as a delivery station for the employes 
of the community or department. 

Along with the increase in the num- 
ber of books used there has been a 
decrease in the percentage of fiction. 
The first year 64 per cent of the circu- 
lation was fiction; the percentage of 
fiction is now less than 53 per cent. 

A book may be retained two weeks, 
and may be once renewed for a like 
period, or oftener, if no application for 
it is on file. There is a fine of one cent 
per day on books kept over time, but a 
margin of three days is allowed to cover 
the time consumed in transit. 

On leaving the service of the com- 
pany all books must be returned before 
pay vouchers are cashed; otherwise the 
value of the book will be deducted from 
the wages of the employe. 

The whole system of sending out and 
returning a book is similar to that of 
the registry department of the post- 
office. Every person who handles a 
package receipts for it, so that it is 
possible to trace anything that may be 
lost. The company is responsible for 
all books in transit, and it exacts the 
same care in the handling of library 
property that is required for all other 
property. 

The system of ordering and charging 
books for circulation is verj' simple. The 
borrower fills out a requisition blank, 
that is, by writing the name and call 
numbers of the books he wants, which

■5 



he selects from printed catalogues, and 
by signing his name and address and 
the department in which he is employed. 
The requisition is then countersigned by 
the agent through whom he wishes to 
get the book, and it is sent to the libra- 
rian at Mt. Clare. Baltimore. The libra- 
rian takes the first book on the list ( using 
his discretion, however, in case (if fiction 
to select for the reader i. and then 
makes out a record-card for the trans- 
action. On this card is entered the 
date, the requisition, book, agency and 
package number, and the name of the 
borrower. The card is iiled in the 
order ot the book number. Another 
entr\' is made on a card under the agenc)' 
number. This entry shows how many 
and what liooks are at any agency at 
any time. When a book is returned its 
number is marked off on the agency 
card, and the charge on the card filed 
under the book number is canceled. A 
new series of requisition numbers begins 
every year on the first of December, and 
the requisition number is always the 
total circulation of the fiscal year to 
date. 

After all entries have been duly made 
and the requisitions have been stamped 
and dated, the books are wrapped in 
packages. These packages are then 
stamped and labeled for delivery through 
the baggage department to the agents 
along the lines. Several agencies take 
such a number of books that satchels 
are used in carrying them back and 
forth. 

To prolong the life and usefulness 
of the books, and at the lowest possible 
cost, the librarian uses for binding and 
repair the leather from worn car seats, 
which he gets from the passenger car 



repair shop's. The Kather is practically 
useless whtn it is removed from the 
seats, but the pieces he is able to get 
makes a binding that is both neat and 
durable. 

Mr. Irving, the enthusiastic librarian 
goes over the lines once a year visiting 
all the agents in the interest of the 
library. This is done during the summer, 
when, for about four weeks, the lilirary 
is closed. 

The library now contains about 
14.000 volumes. Gifts of SLiitable books 
will be gladly received. 

Corporations, like individuals, are 
recognizing that their duty to those 
they employ is not complete on the 
payment of the stipulated wage. Hence 
it is that relief departments. Young 
Men's Christian Associations, and other 
helpful organizations are estalilished or 
encouraged by so many of our railroads. 
These organizations raise men to a 
higher physical, intellectual and moral 
plane of life — the very fundamentals 
of faithful service. In other words, it 
pays to have some legard for the men 
outside of working liours. 

The force of gootl books in our daily 
lives is being felt and recognized more 
and more every day. To the section hand 
and Iiis family, living in rockbound 
isolation, to the operator in the signal- 
tower, waiting for the click of his instru- 
ment to call him to duty, to railroad 
workingmen everywhere along the Com- 
pany's lines, the books from lialtimore 
are bringing sunshine: and in the 
economy of the universe I fancy that it 
is no less important to cause such sun- 
shine than it is to cause two green 
blades to grow where now there grows, 
but one. 





THE FOX AND THE RA\'EN. 

BY CUY WETMORK CARRVI., IN HARPEr's ROUND TABLE. 
All old fable retold. 



A RAVEN sat upon a tree, 
■'-^ And not a word he spoke, for 
His beak contained a piece of Brie, 

Or maybe it was Roquefort; 
We'll make it any kind you please — 
At all events, it was a cheese. 

Beneath the tree's umbrageous limb 

A hungry fox sat smiling; 
He saw the raven watching him, 

And spoke in words beguiling: 
'J'admire," dit-il, "ton beau plumage." 

(The which was simply persiflage.) 

Twothings thereare, nodoubt you know, 

To which a fox is used ; 
A rooster who is bound to crow, 

A crow who 's bound to roost. 
And whichsoever he espies 
He tells the most unblushing lies. 

'What's more," (juoth he, "I understand 

You 're more than merely natty : 
I hear you sing to beat the band 

And Adelina Patti. 
Pray, render with your li(]uid tongue 
A bit from Goetterdaemmerung.'' 



This subtle speech was aimed to please 
The crow, and it succeeded : 

He thought no bird in all the trees 
Could sing as well as he did ; 

In flattery completely doused 

He gave the Jewel Song from Faust. 

But gravitation's law, of course, 

As Isaac Newton showed it. 
Exerted on the cheese its force, 

And elsewhere soon bestowed it: 
In fact, there is no need to tell 
What happened when to earth it fell. 

I blush to add that when the bird 

Took in the situation, 
He said one brief, emphatic word, 

Unfit for publication. 
The fox was somewhat startled, but 
He only sighed and answered, "Tut!'' 

The moral is: A fox is bound 

To be a shameless sinner. 
And also. When the cheese comes round, 

You know it 's after dinner. 
But (what is only known to few) 
The fox is after dinner too !

ONE RAILROAD IX I'H 1 LI I'PI X ES. 



THE Manila & Dagupan l^ailway, 
the only railway in the Philippine 
Islands, is running along smoothly as if 
peace jirevailed throughout the land. 
Ordinarily railroads suffer as much in- 
convenience and loss in business and 
damage as any other line of business 
when comparatively small countries are 
in a state of rebellion. This loss is not 
only because of demoralization in freight 
business and Irom common disinclina- 
tion of people to travel where the exis- 
tence of social disorder creates an addi- 
tional element of risk in traveling on 
public carriers, but because of destruc- 
tion of railroad property, as a matter of 
proper warfare and military strategy, 
as has been the case in Cuba. The 
Philippine railroad has been remarkably 
fortunate in the respect of enjoying 
immunity from inconvenience and vio- 
lence at the hands of the insurgents — 
so fortimate. indeed, as to agreeably 
surprise and disappoint the manage- 
ment of the propert}-. 

The road, says the Rai/i^'av Axr. 
from which the foregoing is taken, is of 
three feet six inch gaui;e, and runs from 
Manila, with a population of over jim. 
ooo, in an almost northerly direction. 
125 mile.s. through several large munic- 
ipalities, to Dagupan, a reasonably pros- 
perous seaport of about 30.(10(1 souls. 

The island of Luzon, of which 
Manila is the capital, has a population 
of about 3,500,(100, nearly half the pop- 
ulation of the twenty-one islands that 
form the Philippine group, and with an 
area of nearly double that of Great 
Britain. The railroad, as might be ex- 
pected, runs through the most iiopulous 
section of Luzon. 



While the railroad is private property 
and owned and managed by Europeans 
other than Spaniards, it was thought 
the insurgents would nevertheless try 
to prevent its operation, at least spas- 
modically, inasmuch as it was proving 
of so great advantage to the govern- 
ment in the effort to quell the revolt. 
There has. however, been no trouble 
with the road as yet. The forbearance 
of the rebels has caused no little surprise 
among Spanish officials. The insur- 
gents derailed a passenger train several 
months ago. Since that time there has 
been absolutely no \iolence. The rebel 
leaders were much displeased when they 
learned that some ot their subordinates 
had molested a train, and at once gave 
orders that the personal and property 
rights of foreigners other than Spaniards 
should be respected, and that this order 
was intended to apply particularly to 
the railroad, which tliey well understood 
was the property ot English capitalists. 
The fact that the railroad company has 
not since been subjected to the slightest 
trouble or inconvenience, while the im- 
mediate country is involved in serious 
and formidable re\'olution. demonstrates 
these facts: — (ii That the Philippines 
are not savages warring just for the ex- 
citement of the thing. (2) That they 
are a peaceful and easily governed peo- 
ple, and are regarding with respect 
the wishes of their recognized leaders. 
(3) That they value the goodwill and 
sympathy of Europeans who live 
in the Philippines, and will unques- 
tionably see to it that these foreigners 
are protected to the fullest possible 
extent.
