Last week this community was visited by s vast army of hard-shell Baptists, who held a sreat love feast at Frying Pan, two miles south of here, Preaching was held in a church, and several stands were erected in the woods, where the doctrmes of that denomination were earnestly expounded. It was estimated that five thousand people were on the ground during one day of the meeting, which was, I am informed, very successful. Frying Pan is situ- ated only four miles from Chantilly, in the neighborhood of which Gen. Pope in July. 1862, without the aid of Fitz John Porter, tried to crush out Gen. Lee and his army. To an old veteran of the Army of the Potomae the scenery and surrounding country must present a very interesting by an different from the tryin, days of of Mosby's female spies ani members of hiv command lives on the road leading from here to Chantilly and Centreville. Ilearned recently that a large hotel was about to be built by s syndicate of gentlemen at Hamilton, a few miles west of here. A val uable spring of water, said to equal the fam- ous Poland water of Maine, has been found upon the farm on which the hotel will be lo- cated. It is estimated that there are about one thousand families located for the summer along the line of railroad that runs thi iy this region, and yet but little attention is paid to the wants of its patrons in the way of suita- ble stations and proper lengths of platform, so ana} that people can be comfortable while waiti for trains and get off without being liable to fe jury of some kind. Lawn tennis seems popniar here now, several courts having been laid out this summer. There are a great many young folks hereabouts GRAND SINGLE | and tbe lawn parties are cousequently numer- ousand lively. Among the people in the neighborhood from Washington I notice the Misses Ridgely, Webster, Mrs. Hatch Cook, Harry and Odell Whivpie, Capt.

Freeman, Mr. Forbes of the Agricultural Department, Col. Trimble, District assessor, and many others. This region is famous for its fruits of all kinds, but this year we piue for good apples, peaches and grapes. Seasonable rains last week will occasion a good crop of corn and help the late pasturage. ———___ AGAINST LEGALIZING MURDER. A Protest of the People Against Death Trap Grade Crossings.

Sign the petition printed below and send it to Tux Stan at once: A Petition, To the Senate and House of Representa. tives in Congress assembled: ‘The undersigned, citizens of the District of Columbia, earnestly protest against the passage of H. R. bill $243, known as the Atkinson bill, without substantial amend- ‘ment. In its stead we ask Sor legislation which shall: FIRST, save life and limb amd reduce @n obstruction to trade and travel by re- grade-crossings within the city limits, wherever auch removal is SECOND, enlarge freight facilities by giving the railroad power of condemnation within the city east of 3d street west and south of the present trucks, THIRD, increase the beauty of the capt- tat by removing surface tracks from 6th streetand the mall, either relieving the park entirely of ruilroad oecupation, o1 sinking and covering from view the dis- Jiguring tracks across it, If the station is to be permitted to remain on the park we ask that Gth street be cleared of tracks and that the tracks on the mall be hidden from sight and rendered easy and safe to be crossed, And in this event we also ask that the road be required to make ade- quate compensation for its valuatle priv- ileges upon the mall by removing grade- crossings and decreasing the killing und mangling of the people on its surface tracks, In local railroad legislation we ask that consideration shalt be given, first, to human life, next to trade, nert to the city’s beauty, and only lastly to the proposed legalizing Of the railroad’ illegal acts, and the pro posed gratuitous confirmation of its wa- Guthorized use of public property, ) Peers ieee cere Terrible Storm iu Valparaiso Bay. The San Francisco Call prints the following: A-sailor who shipped on the American bark Hortland Lloyds, at Valparaiso, Chi, has writ- ten his mother in this city am account of a ter- rible storm in Valparaiso bay. The following are extracts from the letter: “July 2—-Blowing a gale and the waves are breaking over the city. The shipping is im great danger. ~-July 3—Nova Seotia ship, English bari and Steamboat went down last night. Bark went bare a and Nove Scotie ship is ou the rocks fagt going to pieces.” The letter was evidently sent on board the Mmeil steamer bound north before the storm abated.

Correspondence of Taz Evsniwa Srax. Rocevitiy, August 19. Today's moeting of the orphans’ court for this county was s very exciting one on account of the appointment of «register of wifls in place of the late Robert W. Carter,who died last week. ly in the day s number of candidates for the position and their friends were on hand, On the first ballot Mr. George C. Dawson was chosen register of wills to serve until the next general election for state officers, Mr. Dawson has been acting a8 deputy in the office for the past five months and in that eapacity has given general satisfaction. The emoluments of the office amount to about $1,200 per annum. ns for the agricultural fuir at this lace September 3, 4 and 5 are progressing inely. The race track has been put in first- class condition; the judge’s stand and starting point have been removed to thewest side of the track and a large grand stand is being erected. Many fine trotters from a distance are expected to take partin the races and the track is now in daily use for the training of county stock. Saturday Jewe Cartwright, colored, was en- gaged in getting out stone for the court house at the quarry of Mra, Margaret Beall, near Halpine station, when a large rock fell from the upper part, striking him aud throwing him forward upon a ledge of rock. No bones were breken, but he was badly lacerated in the lower part of the stomach and remained insen- wible for some time. Dr. E. E. Stonestreet of this place was summoned at once, and the suf- ferer somewhat relieved, but he still lies ina precarious coudition. Mr. C. Van Hoy of Washington today sold to Mr. Chas, J. Corrick two unimproved building lote in the Maddox addition to Rockville for $375, These lots were purchased a few months ago for $100 each. ‘Mr. Henry N.

The American Tellsof His Swim Across the Channel. Davis Dalton, the American back swimmer, was interviewed yesterday afternoon at his hotel in Dover, England, bya reporter. He said: “After the extraordinary exertion I under- went yesterday I am feeling very weak. My eyes hurt intensely and are so painful in the glare of the white light that Iam obliged to wear blue spectacles, and I can scarcely open the lids, I do not recollect what they did with me as soon as they got me here, for I had not then recovered consciousness. Shortly after I came to I was put into a hot bath, where I re- mained for twenty minutes, and was then taken out and wrapped in blankets, Then hot water bottles were put to my feet and mustard Lang freely applied to various parts of my body. Se was attended by nearly a dozen doctors, who all examined me to determine what effect the exertion and long exposure had caused. ‘They found my general condition remarkably good, but they say that my left lung ix very weak from a hemorrhage. In crossing the channel I found that the temperature of the water changed about’six times and this made my passage very much more disagreeable than I anticipated.” a ae DRIVEN MAD BY HUNGER, An Educated German Lawyer Starved for Five Days. George Wanzer, who was brought before Justice Patterson at the Tombs in New York Yesterday morning, was so utterly wretched that he could not infuse « grain of pathos into the telling of his story. He was starving—ut- terly brokeu. The charge against Wanzer was that he attempted to commit suicide Monday night by jamping into the East river at the foot of Pike street. Polieeman Donohue went in after him and had great difficulty in pre- venting the foolish man from drowning himself. Wanzer is twenty-nine years old. He isa type of the German student, who knows so much but does not know his way about the. world. He is mild, thoughful and courteous. Wanzer was born in Hamburg. He studied at the Uni- versity of Rostock and received degrees, one of which was in law. He afterward became duly qualified to practice. He served honor: ably in the army and then entered the police force, where he became a lieutenant. That was rather a good position, but he quarreled with his immediate superior. It wasa very serious quarrel, because the superior was iu the wrong. Wanzer obtuined leave of absence for two years, which was the best thing he could do under the circumstances, as it suved him the trouble of deserting. Two months ago he arrived in the United States. He had a few marks in his ket. He was well eda- cated and fairly intelligent, but it seemed im- possible for him to obtain employment, He could not practice iaw until he should be naturalized. If he could have done so before that it wouldn’t have helped « penniless man much, He soon apent his few marks, For two weeks he had not slept ina bed. For five days he had been starving. During that time he had just sufficient food to convince him of the fact that he was starving. So he tried to end it all. The justice told him that he was held in #500 bail, He nodded his head gently and walked away toward his place of confinement so quickly that the pol hed to hop to keep up with him. ———_-+e+______ ‘Work of the Associated Press. Yrom the Detroit Free Press. “No,” said William Henry Smith to a re- porter, “you are mistaken when you say there is less news in summer than in winter. The quantity of news, as demonstrated by our as- sociation, is about the same the year around. But there is this distinction, that in the sum- mer there is more sporting news, naturally enough, while in the winter you have your Congress, your parliament and your reichstag. All in all, however, we handle about the same amount of news the year around. “The daily average amount of telegraphic matter received in our New York oftice is fully 100,000 words. This ia transcribed and edited by our corps of 150 men, who prepare it in circuits, to be distributed to our subscribers over the United Statow. We atrive to select news with reference to its adaptability to the district in whieh our subscriber lives, “All this ‘fund of news is collected by our local correspondents. Our aim is to have a man in every place of importance throughout the Union, with special men constantly on the call for emergency work, Thus, at the time of the Louisville eyclone we at once sent out a corpa of men from Indianapolis. They had their special car hurried to the scene of disas- ter, and in s few hours, comparatively, had repared many columns of intensely interest- ing matter. Such is an illustration of the work- ings of our system.” “Ie not the Associated Press a monopoly?” “Not at all. jt fs in reality a co-operative organization. It is a corporation, to be sure, but it fs not organized for the pi of de- claring dividends to its stockholders. The shares are limited, and cach newspaper is en- titled to one sbare only. This share means toe te is thereof is nage nS ere jeges of the organization. The Associa! ress is no more # monopoly than is, for illustration, the custom and good will of a dry goods house. It is true that a new competitor for newspaper privileges must make terms with our sub- ecribers, who control the news for a certain territary. But it is just that it should be so, If you dr: the privilege being en terms of equality to the extent of one share each, each being assessed and each in the THE CHAMBERLAINS TALK, Views of the Member for Birmingham and His Wife, From the Boston Transcript, August 16, The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., and his young wife, who are now at the home of Judge Endicott and Mre. Endicott in Salem, are extremely interesting people. An international marriage has always a ro- mantic intercst in life or im novels, and when Miss Endicott went from = residence in Wash- ington ae a daughter of a member of the Presi- dent's cabinet to her English home as the wife of @ distingushed member of parliament, people felt a natural interest in her success, not merely social or personal, but just s little deeper. It was more worth while for her to be liked and to meet the requirements of her life, for ex- ample, than an American girl who had married @ peer of the sort whose voice is never heard in the nation’s councils. Those who have been in England during the past two years knew how warmly Mrs. Chamberiain is liked and what an element of the best in our new world life she has taken into a society whe: of morning eallers welcoming Mrs, Chamber- lain in the drawing room of the old-fashioned gambrel-rooted house on Elm street, where ra, Chamberiain will spend the autumn with her parents. Gen. Sherman and his daughter were spending the di there were people wio had driven over from shore places, their horses waiting in the drive, and in the library on the right Mr. Chamberlain was busy with a little inevitable public business, A CHAT WITH MRS. CHAMBERLATS. Mrs, Chamberlain, charming, youthful, al- most girlish in her tittle close-fitting lilac cot- ton morning gown, was radiant with satisfac- tion in being ouce more in Salem, She 6a she likes living in England very much. E thing is done to make her enjay the life. with all that—no matter how happy one is—it is good to be here again, Yes, 1 was born in this house.” There was a quick glamee about the pleasant, picture-tiiled rooms, the glance that is a caress when given toa friend. “We shall stay autil late in the autumn. Mrs. Stan- ley is coming over before long. Oh, yes, I have read a few of Mr. Kipling’s stories, Everybody is reading them in England. They seem to find them very interesting. “I don’t know exactly what I think about women’s interest in politics in England, It is different there. try; | suppose that is one reason of the interest, In London everything centers, and it is easier to know what is being worked for. Perhaps it isn’t because they think of it as abything sepa- rate from other intercsts.” It was a very graceful and pretty way of explaining the reason of women’s successful interest and in- fluence in the eres life of Eugland, so far as it exists. They take their interest naturally with their other interests, not separately and strenuously, and as a life apart. ANTIQUITY OF JOKES, When Mrs. Chamberlain went to see new visitors, the talk went on to the beauty of the surroundings. Judge Endicott said that he had an idea that beauty in form, like beauty in music, has only certain notes, The white carved stair rail was the colonial copy of the beauty in marble found in Italian staircases. “Ideas of beauty, as Wendell Phillips used to say. of jokes, are limited. I've never forgotten his saying that there are only forty jokes and any attempt at making others is only vain effort at variation. Up in New Hampshire, in the farm houses on the hill sides, they say that when they want to know if the cows are com- ing home they look up chimney. They used to say the same thing in Italy and so on east till you get to India. Probably they had the same joke in the Himalayas." Mr. Chamberlain came out of the library, an alert figure with the airof thirty and the animation and repose which our young imita- tors of Englishmen fail to get the acting secret of; a clear-cut face, shaven like a monk; blue, unmonk-like eyes; dark, thick hair above a good forehead, a diplomat’s ready speech and a hearty man’s unaffected cordiality; gray checked morning clothes, a gray derby hat in his hand and a dislike of personalities in his He was willing to talk of great inter- national subjects, but none the less willing to argue about the relative values of personal topics, KR. CHAMBERLAIN ON SENSATION NEWSPAPERS AND RUDYARD KIPLING. “Present history is very well,” he said, “when it concerns what a man is and does, but Tam bound to say that I believe that sensa- tional newspapers are responsible for the pres- ent tendencies of literature. There is no chance for a man to write a magnum opus. People are too busy reading the account of the peccadilloes of the great to have time or thought for serious reading. I do not con- demn the tone of American sensational news- papers merely; it is the same in England. It is like « perpetual feeding on sweatmeats; the system has not power to assimilate what is needed of solid food. There is Kipling, now writing in England, with all the world readin; his stories of Indian life. They are goo enough stories—the scenes in India and the life and action good. But I don’t believe that the man can ever write a sustamed work, He must write for an immediate market, “People are perpetually eager for some new thing. That is one great reason for the rest- leasness of life—the perpetual craving for the newWthing. The personalties of too many news- papers are not of the sort that make plain the life or the graces of a people. They gloat for the vulgar mind upon the lapse: of the great and these are made excuses to the common mind for its own shortcomings, ‘This hasmuch to do with the restl ess and superficial equalities of life today. SOCIALISM. Of socialism, Mr. Chamberlain said that the | last word cannot soon be spoken. “Socialism, as it is known on the continent, the seething anarchical avowal of equality, when equality has not yet been developed, is not known in England.” In its practical work- ing state socialism is ingreat power there. The state has control of the post and of the tele- graph; the poor law and free education are ex- amples of state socialism. There are poor who cannot or will not provide for themselves and the state makes provision for them. Free edu- cation is there, as here, the state's wise arrange- ment for the education of the many. “Of course in England there hus been the great question of large and small holdings. The state proposes to put some of these into small hoidings and make it possible for thou- sands of poor fellows to improve their condi- tion slightly by giving them chance to have half an acre or an acre for their own house and vegetable garden, With property that cannot be distrained the workman would have incen- tive for acquiring more and the power to buy fifty acres may by and by come in his way.” IRELAND AND THE IRISH, “Is it likely that your committee will get their way with this measure?” “Likely! It is certain!” exclaimed the member from Bir- mingham. “There will by and by be av good a chance for poor men in Engiand as there is in Ireland. Yes. I know it is customary here to think of the Irish who come to America as es- caping from the heel of the oppressor, but I wish more of your people could see the for- tunate condition of the Irish in Meath and some of the other counties. Of course the land that is called land in the west of Ireland is mere bog or rock, and the people very pro) erly become emigrants. The time when t! Irish will live upon nothing but potatoes is not now, and when this land is such that it will not even grow potatoes, they leave it naturally as people from many New England farms ve gone to the west here in the states.” From the condition of the Irish to this year without a summer in England and the beauty of the days which have welcomed him toe Salem went the talk, and the latest poem of Whittier was en of. “] like Whittier,” said Mr. Chamberlain, with the heartiness which has been heard here more than once in the voicesof Englishmen. ‘I don’t put him in the front rank of poets of our language, but he is sincere, and a very sweet singer. ——— Polson in Politics.
