CITIZENS AGAINST RAILROAD. Expressions of Popular Sentiment in Beference to the Atkinson Bill. EMPHATIC UTTERANCES OF REPRESENTATIVE BODIES—WHY THE RAILROAD GETS SOME SIG- NATURES AT TWO CENTS A NAME—THE QUES- TION OF REMOVING THE STATION. There have been a few additional expres- sions of popular sentiment in reference to the Atkinson Dill since last District da: The South Washington Protective Association and Citizens’ Association, No. 1, have secured addi- tional signatures to their protest from prop- erty owners in South Washington. That sec- tion is, of course, practically a unit on the subject. The second protest of the joint as- sociations says: “We think it would be a great wrong to per- mit the railroads to occupy the two most prom- iment avenues and the large teservation at thgir intersection in the most valuable part of South Wasbington, when a personal examina- tion will prove conclusively to your minds that there is abundance of land east of 3d street west that will furnish ample accommodation for the distribution of freight at a convenient distance from the business center and where danger would be reduced toa minimum. We think it would be a greater wrong, after their many violations of law and illegal occupation Of streets and reservations. to give them the right to condemn and take for their own use property north or south of their tracks in this valuable section and allow them to increase the number of their tracks and thereby increase the danger to traffic, to aud from the river, on the busy thoroughfares, ; . “Our people wiil never submit. The action of the Knights of Labor in this city condemn- ing the Atkinson bill supplements the previous protest of the Federation of Labor and arrays every labor organization in the District and kindred orgamizations all over the country against the bill, Local opinion is practically UAALIMOUs in Opposition to the bill in its pres. ent shape. The board of trade in condemning it gave voice to the overwhelming popuiar sentiment.” LADIES AND MINISTERS. A petition has been circulated among and mnumerously signed by the ladies of South Washington protesting against the Atkinson bill and against Mr. Mudd’s reflection upon the section. Many of the ministers of Washington are out of town at present, but a number of those who are in the city, being all the circulator of the petition reports who were seen, sign a protest against the bill. ‘The railroad has canvassed the city thor- oughly during the week with enumerators paid two cents for each signature obtained, who have drummed up signers to a protest against removal of the station from the mall, The great majority will not sign. but owing to the methods parsued and to a general appreciation of the superior convenience of the present sta- tion even over a site only the width of the mali further away many do sign, thinking little of the evil of private occupation of the city’s parks, ACTION OF VARIOUS BODIES. Publie opinion as indicated by expressions of organized bodies of citizens has been 1n favor of the removal. The existing Citizens’ Com- mittee of One Hundred, at the time of its greatest strength and influence, adopted a plan involving this removal and advocated it before Congress. So with other citizens’ organiza- tions. The successive boards of District Com- missioners have steadily advocated this re- moval, with the alternative suggestion in the nses of one or two boards that the station be ined, but that the tracks be taken from 6th street and covered in crossing the mail, and that improvements in respect to grade cross- ings be made. Some citizens take the view that the protection of government property, even the parks. from private use, is a matter which concerns the government's good faith, and is therefore a matter to be left largely to the discretion of the goverament’s Jegislature; that if Congress insists that t®® mail shall be turned over to the railroad the p city, securing and profiting by a station a little Rearer the business ter than it would other- wise be, should not object. But almost every- body is of the opinion that if the mall is turned over permanently to the railroad adequate compensation for the valuable privilege should be exacted from the road in the shape of re- moval of grade crossings 4 and improvement of its occupation of the mall. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARD OF TRADE. ‘The board of trade recommends both the re- moral of the station and reduction of the grade crossings, but it meets the possibility of the ne- sity of an alternative proposition. It says: If it should be found impossible to secure the entire removal of the grade crossings on 6th street and on Maryland avenue between 6th aud 9th streets, and to dislodge the railroad from the reservation, as proposed by the Mor- rill bill, measures to reduce the evilof such crossings and of such occupation toa mini- mum should be adopted. In the contingency imagined the tracks should be entirely removed from 6th street. and that street should be opened as a thoronghfare. ‘The tracks should be sunk, and the strip of the reservation west of the street to be devoted to railroad purposes snould be completeiy covered, and all neces- sary bridges for crossing 6th street and the railroad slip should be provided in such fash- jon that the railroad tracks. cars and engines thereon shall be entirely concealed from pub- he view.” THE MEETING THAT ADOPTED THE REPORT. In order to destroy, if possible, the effect of the board of trade’s condemnation of the Atkin- son bill, agents of the railroad have represented to citizens not belonging to the board that the board's policy on this subject has been deter- mined at sparsely attended meetings and that the railroad committee has acted without au- thority in pretending to speak for the board. When the Ceara was first organized and soon after the railroad and transportation commit- tees were appointed these committees held the unsatisfactory conference with Vice Presi- dent Thompson. reported in Tux Star, in waich he indicated the railroad’s intention of introducing the Atkinson billand refused to consider any modifications of the proposed measure. At a preliminary meeting of the Doard « resolution was passed declaring war on grade crossings. At the first full meeting of the board of trade, with its enlarged member- = and its committees in runuing order, the sxilroad committee submitted a report of some length. in which it condemned the Atkinson bili, which was read and adopted without a dissenting voice, aud the railroad committee Was directed to appear before the District committees and the Commissioners and urge the views therein expressed. A REPRESENTATIVE BODY. If that meeting was not a representative body of the capital's citizens there never was and never will be one held in Washington. The Post of March 20, 1890, introduces its account of the meeting in these words: “With a happy. Sutisfied mien President Parker faced fully 306 of Washington's solid citizens at Willard Hall last night.” It stated that Mr. Beriah Wilkins, chairman of the finance committee, reported about €7,000 on hand. ‘The same ac- count. after printing a1 " committee's report. ple of the thority to appear before the District com- mittees to further their ideas and plans, both as to the LEaltimore and Ohio and the Baltimore and Potomac, and a resolution to that offect was adopted by the board at the conclusion of the reading of the report.” Mr. Saks reported from the committee on com- merce. An interesting discussion upon the Rew post office projects took place, in which Postmaster Rose participate Rock Creek Park was disenssed aud the project indorsed. Mr. Magruder of the committee on charities re- Ported and im the discussion of this commit- fee's recommendations Commissioner Hine took part. All parts of the city and nearly every branch of trade were represented in the meeting. and the board declared itself against the Atkinson bill as an independent. una- mended proposition, with as much emphasis as the Federation of Labor, the Knights of Labor, the citizens’ izations of East and South Washington and the petitioning property owners of South Washington have put into their condemnation of the same bill. ra Excursion Tickets to Ixpr benefit of citizens of Indiana desire to ster and vote at the coming election the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company will sell excursion tickets from Washington to all points in Indiana at the rate of one limited fare for the round trip. Tickets will be sold July 30 aud 31. also October 30and 31, and will be valid i4.—For the THE LIFE-SAVING SERVICE. How Congress Came to Establish It on Its Present Basis. In an article on the life-saving service in Tux Stan of July 19 it was stated that that service was really born in the eummer of 1848, when Congressman W. A. Newell of New Jersey per- jaded Congress to appropriate $10,000 for providing surf boats and other appliances for the protection of life and property from ship- wreok on the Jersey coast between Sandy Hook and Little Egg harbor. The service was really inaugurated by the Humane Society of Massachusetts and had been aided by occa- sional appropriations by Congress before the appropriation referred to for the New Jersey coast was obtained by Mr. Newell. This ap- propriation of 1848 was followed by other, smaller ones obtained through the efforts of Mr. Newell, who was very zealous in advocacy of the claims of this service. But his efforts being confined to the coast of New Jersey and Long Island did not enlist the interest and support of other sections of the country, and consequently the service languished. And even under the energetic management of Chief of the Revenue Service Kimball, now the efiicient chief of the life-saving bureau, it re- ceived no adequate support from the govern- ment. The first movement to make the service na- tional was made in January, 1873, when Con- ressman John Lynch, then representing the Sixtusins deetcist now represented by Speaker Reed, introduced a bill which provided for the erection of life-saving stations along the coasts of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vir- ginia and North Carolina, and by the second section of the bill authorized and directed the Secretary of the Treasury to report to the House at the next session of Congress the points upon the sea and lake coasts of the United States at which the establishment of life-saving stations could best subserve the ine terests of humanity and commerce, with a de- tailed statement of the cost of such stations, ‘This bill was passed by the House January 27, 1873, and was followed by a resolution, Febru- ary 11 of the same year, directing the commite tee on commerce to inquire into th expediency of connecting by telegraph the signal service with the hgbt house and life-saving stations of the country. An exhaustive report upon the whole subject was, under authority of these acts, made to the next Congress and the pres: ent national life-saving service was thereby es- tablished. Covering, as it now does, the entire “sea and lake coast” of the United States, the service receives, as it always will, the support of all sections of the country, and is undoubtediy the best organized, the best equipped and th most efficient life-saving service in the world, AMUSEMENTS, Avpavon's.—From the sale of seats for the testimonial to Miss Helen Lamont next Mon- day evening it promises to be a very success- ful affair.

The war- t under which Elisworth was arrested had n sworn out by his wife early in the morn- ing and charges him with non-support of wifo and family. About two weeks ago Ellsworth broke up housekeeping in Philadelphia and informed his wife that.their effects were to be shipped to New Haven and made arrangemets to go on the evening train. Just as they were about to ‘0 to the station to take a train Ellsworth told ‘is wife that he would have to go to Washing- ton and there meet President H@rison and to explain to him the working of his smokeless powder, Doubting-his word Mra, Elisworth watched him and discovered that instead of going to Washington ho stopped at a hotel and passed the night with an unknown woman.

He spent last winter in Washington, where he lived in luxurious apartments and once hed his wife taken from them by the police when she and her daughter visited him and asked for money to support them. Mrs. Ellsworth says her hus- band is deranged. Atter being liberated last evening Ellsworth started for Riverside. In 1884 he ran for President of the United States on the American alliance ticket. A POLITICIA: “TROUBLE, Ex-Representative Henkle Arrested for Forging Notes. HOW WE MANAGED IT. Beneath the tree was a pile of bricks and the suicide, who was a deformed man, had climbed upon them suspended himself from a limb of the tree by a piece of clothes line that he had taken from the yard and then jumped off his support, leaving his body hanging to the limb, Even if he had changed his mind after having swung from the brick pile he could not have saved himself. The officers lowered the body of the suicide and removed it to the house and subsequently notified the coroner. The deceased was about sixty-five years old and came here from Charles county, Maryland, where he owned considerable real estate. He received a letter only three or four days ago from the country making him a good offer for @ piece of property there, He has been A CRIPPLE ALL HI8 LIFE, having had no use of hfs limbs below his knees. He evidently had contemplated the rash act at least all day yesterday. Yesterday morning he told his sister that he was going out fora@ride and if anything happened to him he wanted a decent burial. He did not, however, go riding. Another remark later in the day convinced his neighbors that he then contemplated taking his own life, although at the time they puta different construction on his language. He was sitting in front of his house about 7 o'clock in the evening and was asked by a neighbor how he felt. : ‘I feel pretty badly,” was his response, “I don’t think I'll be here very long.” His neigh- bor at that time thought he meant he was going on a summer trip. HIS SISTER SURPRISED, Whether Bailey went to bed last night is not known, and his sister was greatly surprised this morning when she was awakened and in- formed of the death of her brother. Under- taker Boteler prepared the body for burial and the funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon. The interment will be made in Mount Olivet cemetery. Coroner Patterson investigated the case today and gave a certificate of death, NEGRO HIGHWAYMEN. ALady Knocked Down and Robbed in the Agricultural Grounds. Miss Catherine E. McGrath of No. 1312G street northwest was the victim of a bold assault and robbery committed yesterday in broad daylight in the agricultural grounds, The highwaymen were negroes, the principal in the assault being a full-grown man while his “pal” was a boy. Miss McGrath had been visiting friends in South Washington, and went through the park on her way home to make a shorter route than by going around the streets, When she reached that part of the park near the lake the two negroes suddenly appeared and the larger one of the two dealt her a stunning blow on the head and KNOCKED HER DOWN. He then grabbed her pocket book, which con- tained only $1.70, and both negroes then made a break for the street. Jas. Collins and Wm. Curry, who were passing through the park at the time, gave chase andcaptured a negro who ave his name as Wm. Harris, but who is also nown as Jounson, He hada base ball bat in his possession and it is thought that was the weapon he used on the lady's head, He had a hurmonica in his hand, but he was out of Ex-Congressman Eli J. Henkle was arrested yesterday in Baltimore on the charge of forging the indorsement of Thomas Pumphrey, a well- known farmer residing near Brooklyn, Md., to three notes for $159 each, Dr. Henkle was taken into custody on Calvert street near the court house, He waived examination before a justice of the peace and was released on bail in 21,000 on each charge. The allegations are that Dr. Henkle sold the notes at different times to the firm of Biedler Brothers & Co., commission merchants. Pumphrey, it is said, declares that the indorsement of his name is a forgery. Dr. Henkle is one of the best-known politicians in the st nd for four years repre- sented the fifth district in Congress, He has also been a member of the state legislature. For several years he has lived a retired life in Baltimore. ‘One of his sons says that Mr. Pumphrey signed the notes himself and that they are not forgeries, 5 Dr. Henkle makes the following statement of the case: His son George was sent to Mr. Thomas Pumphrey to obtain the indorsements, Dr. Henkle and Mr. Pumphrey are friends of long standing, the doctor having been his physician for twenty years, He says there niust be certainly some misunderstanding about the case, which will be made clear when Mr. Pumphrey can be seen. ‘She doctor's friends say he could not have the least possible motive of using Mr. Pumphrey’s name without his au- thority, as very often the latter has indorsed notes for him, and never refused. They are convinced the whole matter will be satisfactor- ily adjusted without further judicial proceed- ings. ‘The Y.M.C.A. orchestra will be in attendance. — The Boston House Excursion. The excursion of the Boston House em- ployes was such a success that it has induced another party from that establishment to make the trip down the Potomac this afternoon and for this purpose the steam yacht Francis has been chartered.

Mrs. Pugh followed ina talk on tobacco, speaking of the necessity of training boys not to use it. In the school of politics the remedies for the “evils of partisan politics” were discussed, All through the con- ference the Silver Lake Quartet and Mr. A. W. Hawks rendered assistance. Mrs. Helen M. Gougar of Indiana occupied the afternoon. Her subject was ‘Municipal Government.” She cited the historical fact that cities control the politics of nations every government has gone down before corrupt municipalities, The American republic will make no exception to this rule. A republic to live must be governed by the moral elements of society—the moral forces and the imperial forces of a nation. “We are confronted,” she said, “by the startling fact that the suloo brothel, the gambling den; in short, the vici elements of society, are controlling our citics, therefore our nation’s, Nen tell us that the three destructive and immoral elements cannot be suppressed, and that we must con- sent to their regulation; or, in short, that we must take part of the money earned by the vicious in the name of license.” Women de- sired the ballot that they m: nf correct these things. It is their girls and boys who are today put up on the auction block and liter- ally bid off to the highest rum_ trafficker.

The Commissioners have accepted the pro- posal of the Wheeler Reflector and Light Company to furnish lamps and illuminatin; material and light, extinguish, maintain an repair street oil lamps during the current fiscal year, STREET LAMPS AS TARGETS FOR BAD Boys. The superintendent of lamps wrote a letter to Col. Robert in which he stated that the gus lamps on 19th street extended between Florida avenue and Columbia road have been rendered unserviceable by vicious persons breaking the glass and battering the lanterns. He recom- mended that the, lighting be discontinued. In his indorsement upon the papers Capt. Lusk, who has charge of street lighting, says it seems useless to go on paying for these lamps from month to month without being able to get any illumination from them, He concurred in the recommendation of the superintendent of lamps, and now the lighting will be discontin- ued until there is arcasonable prospect that they can be kept lighted.

To Continue the Purchase of Bonds, Secretary Windom made tho following an- nouncement yesterday afternoon in regard to the further purchase of bonds: “From letters received at the department today it is thought that the terms of tho circu- lar of July 19 were not fully understood. prob- ably owing to the short time between the date of its publication and the date of receiving Proposals forthe sale of bonds, As it is de- sired to extend as far ay ible an equal op- portunity to all who desire to sell, the Secre- tary of the Treasury has decided to receive Proposals for a few days and has accepted offers received during the day of 4# at 124 and 436 per cent at 103%{, ag; ting $350,000," The Seizure of the Colima. The Secretary of State has called upon the United States minister to Guatemala for a re- port in regard to the alleged detention of the steamship Colima ata Guatemalan port and the seizure of the arms and amunition which formedspart of her cargo.

A man’s body was found by berry pickers on the edge of a swamp, near the old Furnace property, about six miles from Snow Hiil, Md., afew days ago. The body was badly decom- posed, but could be identified as that of a white man about forty years old. As to who he was or how he came by his death remains a mystery. ‘The only person who has been missed in the community lately was a man named Pepper, who is said some months ago to have bad a disagroement with his wite and to have disappeared. A Woman Saved From Suicide. Through the exertions of Dr. Bennett the life of Mrs, James O’Brien, residing at 129 North, North Carolina avenue, Atlantic City, was saved last night. She had taken an over- dose of laudanum with the intention of com- mitting suicide, Emetics were administered and she is now in a fair way toward recovery, Domestic infelicities are assigned for her act, Richmond and_ Petersburg Railroad Mortgage.

How Two Washington Women Enjoyed Their Outing. ADVENTURES OF A TWO-HUNDRED-MILE RIDE FROM WASHINGTON THROUGH WESTERY MARYLAND— A REVOLVER WHICH WAS NOT USED—INTEREST- ING INCIDENTS OF A DELIGHTFUL JOURNEY, To vary the usual program of summer ont- ings friend as fond of adventure as myself suggested that we put her saddle horse to a light buggy and drive up to visit some friends in the Blue Ridge mountains of Pennsylvania, All of which we did. It is true we forgot @ lantern and several other usoful things, but we did not forget a five-barreled revolver, the all-important ball of twine and a strong pocket knife, without which I'm afraid the trip would have ended With the Rockville pike, but with which indis- pensable articles we were enabled to travel the 200 miles we did not only without accident, but with a greater amount of enjoyment than we thought possible to put into twelve days, The weather was fine, the country beautifal, and what shall I say of the air, which came to us laden, as a real, prosaic fact, with the fra- grance of new-mown hay. We seemed to drink in new life and energy at every breath. Of course we encountered a few “lions on the way,” the first being the above-mentioned “Rockville pike,” which we were induced to take on account of its being ‘so plain.” We tried the “summer roads” running beside the pike, but, coming toan impassable mud hole ‘on one that was too narrow to admit of turning. and being compelled to alight and spend half an hour in backing out, we were glad to return to the boulders of the pike, Our route lay through the beantifal farming valleys of western Maryland, and it being har- vest time we were seldom ont of hearing of the hum of the patent reapers, which to us seemed wonderful machines, as they not only cut, but gathered and bound the golden grain. A DAY'S JOURNEY. Our general plan was to drive about five hours, then picnic at some pleasant spot for two or three, and then drive until dark, thus accomplishing about thirty miles each day. This was adhered to, with the addition of as many short stops as we felt inclined to indulge in. “A bit of fine scenery. a tempting lot of berries or wild flowers, generally meant a stop and a handful of clover for Gypsy, our only trouble being her great desire to follow us as we bobbed in and out of fence corners. Being a saddle horse she never seemed to realize the responsibility back of her. Never have I rev- eled in such a luxuriance of wild roses as greeted us with their fragrance along the en- tire way from Washington to Pennsylvania. It was well we took the precaution to have our route carefully mapped out on paper before starting each morning, as we rarely met any one. and the cross roads were minus signboard: until we crossed the Pennsylvania line. when we found those inexpensive but highly im- portant guides at ail the crossings. ‘The ad- vent of our modest turnout in the country vil- lages through which we passed frequently awakened tne astonishment of the sleepy store- porch loungers, who were about the only representatives of such communities visible. These we never failed to find. even if we did sometimes fail utterly in obtaining even the commonest information from them. ON THE WAY UP. Going up we spent @ pleasant Sunday at Darnestown and Seneca Mills, Resuming our journey early Monday morning, we stopped for lunch under some wide-spreading oaks ad- joining a very inviting-looking farm house near the Monocacy, where our request for milk Was not only granted, but we were cordially invited in and so hospitably entertained that when we drove away at 2 o'clock it seemed like parting from old friends. In the course of conversation we found our hostess was the mother of one of our rising specialists in Washington, as well as two well-known lawyers in neighboring cities, After crossing the Monocacy we were over. taken by a violent storm, and a farmer dashing ast in a buggy called out, “You ladies had better turn in at Maj. Snouffer’s.” Supposing him to meana large manor house just ahead we “tarned in” and were made very welcome by the courtly major himself and his dignified niece, who pressed us to remain to supper, but being anxious to cross the Catoctin mountain before night we declined. SAVED BY THE BoY. At Adamstown we stopped to make some in- of the usual row of loungers. ‘an we reach Jefferson before dark?” “Oh, yes; plenty of time,” “1s the road direct?” “Yes; you keep straight ahead across the creek there.” We were about to proceed, when a bare- footed but bright-faced boy came running up and warned us not to think of attempting the | ford; that the rain had made it very dangerous and we would be awept down as soon as we en- tered, He went on to tell us that a few days before a wagon drawn by four draft horses had been carriedaway. ‘The driver swam out and another man rescued the horses by swimming harness. During the recital of all this we sat aghast at the danger we had escaped and felt like doing some target practice on that row of men who would have sat there and watched us drown like rats. What to do was the next question. One of the men drawled out: “I ricken the water'll fali "fore morning, and I guess them folks across the street'li keep you but the lad again came to the rescue i us of a bridge across the ‘Tuscarora boring farm and offering to show us and open the gates. We gladly ac- cepted, and thus escorted crossed the mad tor- rent in satety, but owing to the circnitous route it was sundown when we reached the foot of the mountain. Calling to a man in a house near by to know if the road was steep, he an- swered: Not very.” “Is it stony?” “Not very.” “Is it very lonely?” “No, there’s lots of people on it.” Being in some doubtasto the meaning of the last answer we decided this might be the time and opportunity for the Derringer to come into active service, so putting several cartridges in place, and laying it on the seat of the buggy, we sprang out to walk up, but instead of meet- ing highwaymen and tramps we found woods. men’s cottages dotting the roadside all the way tothe summit, at the doorways of whicn were gathered the most peaceful-looking family Groups; several times t turned to my companion and pointing to the revolver we both burst into a hearty laugh, WHAT A DOLLAR AND A HALF WILL GET. At Jefferson we found that “local option” had closed the hotels, on account of the inevit- able bar accompaniments, but were directed to a livery stable and a “very comfortable” board- gg house, both of which we unfortunately found—I say unfortunately, for on comparing our condition with Gy) next morning we concluded the stable afforded better accommo- dations than the boarding house, and that our drevms might have been more serene had we shared her oats and straw instead of the un- sees meals, low-ceiled room with two port oles for windows and a bed hard enough to make a war-worn veteran’s back ache, and harken ye my friends, all for a dollar and haif, We shook the dust of Jefferson from our feet next morning with the comforting assurance of the landlady ringing in our ears, “Next tune You ladies visit Jefferson you will know just where to stop.” OVER THE MOUNTAINS. That day we passed through Middletown and Hagerstown on our way to Williamsport, on the Potomac, where we had another delightful day’s rest at the villa of a friend. En route we passed by the summer residence of Mrs. Dahl- gren, which is finely located on the summit of the South mountain, commanding views of the Middletown valley to the south and the grand old Cumberland to the north, but aside from the views we were not attracted to the place, A.cold, formal atmosphere, in accord with the blue gray of the buildings, seemed to pervade even the park and the chapel. The latter stands on an open space, from which the beauti- ful forest trees nave been removed to make way for two ro’ f stiff English poplars, one on — side, looking hke so many sentinels on guar We reached our destination the morning we left Williamsport, crossing the Blue Ridge at! migh' Fair View—most appropriate name, for from that summit the view is very fair indeed—the Cumberiand valley now ly! south of us, with the Potomac winding in and out until lost to sight in the dim distance below the bluffs of Harper's Ferry. Mountains and mountains, one range seeming to pile up over the other, ing blner and bluer until they were only inguished by faint lines. After contem- plating ail this sublimity for awhile we turned Our attention to some luscious black cherries, which we reached by perching on the top rail of an old-time worm fence. From this point we hada romantic mount- ain road to Sylvan, the only break being our interval for lunch, by the side of one of the finest spring houses we had ever seen. where a gallon crock of real, pure, genuine milk, with the cream two or three inches thick, was placed at our disposal and where twenty pounds of butter, churned every other day, brought the euormous sum of six cents a pound. We thought how our friends at home would enjoy such a treat. Arriving at Sylvan we were warmly received by our friends and congratu- lated upon the success of our trip. The three days spent at that pleasant retreat will always be a bright spot in our memories, as every moment was filled with unalloyed pleasure, THE VICINITY OF GAPLAND, Our return was over the same road to Wil- liamsport, where we were advised to vary the Journey by crossing the Monocacy at the aque- duct bridge, which necessitated driving 13 miles on tho old canal towpath, but as we were assured we would have a “dead level” we Proceeded to Keedysville, where we founda good hotel (without a bar). We crossed the South mountain early the next morning at “Gapland”. th’s” summer retreat—which completely won our admiration, for in addition to a magnificent panoramic view of 75 or 100 miles in extent, the artistic effect of which was heightened that morning by the lights and shades caused by floating clonds, his place is attractiveness itself. Everything inviting — even the dog and cat standing at the gateway looked as though expecting to both give and receive a cordial greeting. Striking the old canal at Berlin we received very disheartening replies to our inquiries as to the feasibility of driving down that way, and crossing over to the towpath itself we were still further discouraged by a woman living on an old boat that had been stranded during the flood which ruined the canal. “You two ladies expect to drive clear down to the Monoc- acy on the tow path! Well, I never! Why there's a mud hole right in front of you deep euough to swamp your whole concern.” At the same time glancing with some contempt at Gypay’s slight limbs, little suspecting the blood which coursed through them. “If you'ns bad @ man aloug you might get through, but I doubt if jist you'ns kan.” A ROVOH ROAD. The last remark decided our trying that mud hole, but on entering our hearts went down with the wheels as they sank to the hub, We pulled out on the other side, thowever, and meet- ing& man who said if we were not afraid of mud, and our horse of the trains that were con- siantly passing on the opposite bank, we could likely reach Poimt of Rocks without accident. So we proceeded and were congratulating our- selves on our progress, when « terrific explo- sionrent the air. Gypsy gave a leap anda ort, Springing out I caught her bridle, and oking round saw the smoke clear away from ablast on the railroad. I called across to know if there would be any more explosions, “Not for half an hour,” was the reply, but I thought best to reassure our trembling steed by leading her past, and it was well I did so, as two minutes later came a second explosion, atter which we met with no further danger, butit required skillful driving to avoid the washouts on one side and not slip into the canal bed on the other. I think we would have been glad to exchange that “dead level” with the steepest. moun- tain road wo had passed over. At Point of Rocks we could find out nothing about the condition of the other six miles, so trusting to Providence we went on, but our progress was a funeral walk, for where there were no washouts and rocks the weeds were up to the horse's back, and the bushes hung so low that looking ahead a passageway seemed impossible, The only es of anything hav- ing passed that way were those of a horse and cow, aud we concluded the former must have | “died in his tracks,” as we passed the skeleton | of a horse with the skin on it bigached till it looked like a winding sheet, after which all trace of himdisappeured. The only living ob- ject we saw in that six miles’ stretch besides in- sects was the tail of a snake. At sight of the Jong-wished for aqueduct we both shouted for joy. cRIsrs. Our instructions had been to cross over the top of the aqueduct, then passing underneath reach the main road on the other side, but thinking it wise to investigate little in ad- vance, l walked across, and was horrified to find a washout ten feet deep where the road used to be. I returned and imformed my com- | — that our only way out was through the ed of the aqueduct, which could only be | reached by taking the horse and buggy down | separately. She declared it an impossibility, but | Iinsisted that whether it proved so or not we must make the attempt, and we not only did but succeeded. To be sure wehad to let the ssiely and our troubles were over, for we were soon i the open country on a firm road, which, in the course of the evening, brought us to Seneca Mills once more, where we were wel- comed like returned wanderers. Next after- noon we left for Washington via the river road and Cabin John, but being overtaken by a | Storm, spent the night with friends at the cross | roads, reaching W. the next morning in tife | best of spirits, and feeling that the pleasures | and benefits of the trip far outweighed any | inconveniences we had encountered. E.C.C, Family Likenesses, From the London Medical Presa, Some curious investigations have recently been undertaken by ® photographic so- ciety in Geneva. The purpose was to show that the longer a married couple lived together, we apprehend harmoniously, the more and more marked became the resemblance which the two persons bore to each other. Photo- graphs of seventy-eight old couples were taken, as well as of an equul number of aduit brothers and sisters, On careful inspection it was found that the married couples were more like each other than the brothers and sisters of the same blood. Apparentiy, therefore, there seems to be a stronger force available for the production of “family likenesses” even than that of | hereditary transmission. In accepting the statement of the society in question as true as to fect, and not regarding it as the outcome of attempt to make practice and theory meet, is not dificult ina certain measure to account for the phenomenon referred to. Human beings, for example, have quite a facuity for copying each other in their ways, movements and temperaments. Witness the attempts which are commonly made to imitate the mode of utterance and the itchy”? manncrisms which happen to be affected by this or that public men, Almost every man and woman has a “model” ‘in ordinary life, from whom certain features are taken and adopted. Many of these “copies” are certainly productive of amuse- ment among those who happen to know the “originals” and can compare the two. In our profession, for instance, the personality and demeanor of Sir William Lawrence were a fertile source of attraction to younger men of his day, and many were the “copies” of which he became the innocent cause. At the present time the same thing obtains, though perhaps toa less extent, among those who are imbued with the spirit of hero worship. In the case of married persons, too, doubtless a similar cause is at play. It is probably true that the closer @ married couple are molded after each other in regard to will, temperament and inclination, the closer will they come to re- semble each other in outward appearance, and it is quite possible that the secret of harmony in married life depends upon the faculty sessed by a married coupie of acquiring from each other those little details of recon to which reference has been made. Itis supposed that the photographic society above mentioned would not find much “conjugal likeness” among the applicants at the divorce court, and we presume they would be ready to admit that “selection” would be indispensable to the pro- duction of a large series of their photographs, There migbt, for example, be 20,000 married couples in a icuiar town, but an outsider might not be able to tell from their “likeness” that any of the couples were married, neither haps, the photographic society. into the stream lower down and cutting the | urd?
