THE JOURNALISTS' SUMMER
JAUNT.
lßy Rail from Georgia to Jlaryland—The
Pres* Association at Baltimore, Get
tysburg, Carlisle, Pen-Mar and Else
where.
Special telegrams have informed the
readers of the Morning News of the
movements oi the newspaper men of
Georgia during their late excursion to
Baltimore. It would require more space
than the readers of the News would like
to see de\’oted to it to give a tithe of what
was done and said, and the many pleas
ures which united to make the trip an
ever memorable event.
THE SPECIAL TRAIN.
The members- of the association, and
the ladies who had decided to
entrust themselves to the tender
care of the excursionists, left
Atlanta on the night of July 23d as the
guests of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad and its Northern
connections. The card of invitation bore
the names of Superintendent John P.
O’Brien, of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad; General Superin
tendent Joseph H. Sands, of the Norfolk
and Western and Shenandoah Valley
Railroads; General Manager J. M. Hood,
of the Western 31arvland Railroad, coun
tersigned bv Mr. A. Tope, General Pas
senger aud Ticket Agent of the Virginia,
Tennessee and Georgia Air-Line. Two
Pullman cars had been placed at the dis
posal ot the excursionists, and another
was used during part of the trip. The
arrangements for the excursion were
made by Capt. E. P. Howell, Chair
man of the Committee of Arrangements,
and it was regretted that business en
gagements prevented his accompanying
the party. The excursionists were under
the immediate care of Mr. S. H. Hard
wick, Passenger Agent of the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad, a
gentleman who in a few hours established
a reputation for executive ability as well
as for energy and politeness. In his future
career he will have the best wishes of the
passengers who were on his special train
to Baltimore. Mr. A. L. Kontz, Superin
tendent of the Pullman Company in
Atlanta, and his brother and assistant,
Mr. E. C. Kontz, spent nearly all night
in trying to provide each passenger with
a “lower berth.” They were not anxious
to go up higher, at least in a sleeping
car. Some of the journalists were as un
reasonable as those advertising agents
who want “top of column, next to read
ing matter” positions for all advertise
ments. After awhile, however, all par
ties were satisfied and the journalists
slept well, if one can judge by the quiet
ness that reigned throughout the “sleep
ers.”
IN THE MOUNTAINS OF TENNESSEE.
Daybreak of the 24th found the excur
sionists rushing through the valleys and
over the mountains of Tennessee. The
fields and farm houses gave evidence of a
frugal and prosperous people. The corn
crop promised an abundant yield. From
the Savannah to the Potomac there is
the promise of an abundant harvest. A
substantial breakfast awaited the party
at Cleveland. It was served by the rosy
cheeked daughters ot the mountains. The
train sped rapidly on over this magnifi
cent country, where the Holston river
winds its way through the valleys. Pass
ing by Greenville the monument to An
drew Johnson could be seen, and further
on the excursionists came to Knoxville,
the home of another noted East Ten
nessean, loved not by {m foes, Parson
Brownlow. Their followers and those
who differed with them made the red clay
bills redder with each other’s blood. Peace
now reigns, and these leaders rest peace
fully among the graves of Confederates
and Unionists.
At Bristol, which is partly in Virginia
and partly in Tennessee, the party stopped
for supper. The noon meal, however, had
not been forgotten. It was taken at a
statiou, the name of which has escaped
my memory. The last lingering rays of
daylight showed that the iron rails still
extended over mountains and across val
leys. The cool mountain air made sleep
ing quite pleasant, and in the morning
the excursionists looked as fresh and
happy as though they were at home—
; probably some of them more so.
THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY.
The excursionists were now in the Shen
andoah valley. It was as beatitiful as
ever,and had apparently recovered entirely
lrom the rude hand of war. The fields
weje clothed in their emerald beauties,
1 anil the white and red farm houses be-
I tokened comfort and plenty. Gen. Sheri
| dan’s jackdaw would not have to carry its
1 rations with it now should it fly across
the valley, as he said it would have to do
alter he destroyed the mills, barns and
crops in his raid along the Shenandoah.
The macadamized turnpikes and out
croppings of the red hills looked very
familiar to several of the excursionists
who had tramped through the valley in
the days gone by.
LURAV.
The wonderiul Caverns of Luray are in
this valley, and it was expected that the
excursionists would visit them on this trip,
but it was arranged that they should do
so ou their return. The party breakfasted
at Luray stat ion, where an elegant eating
house attests the fact that it is a favorite
resort for tourists. On a hilltop in the
distance is the famous “Luray Inn,” a
picturesque building of the Queen Anne
order of architecture. Tnere are grave
doubts, however, if that dumpy little
Queen ever saw anything as gorgeous as
this inn for the accommodation of the
itinerants of the republic.
PENNSYLVANIA EDITORS.
Having done full justice to their morn
ing meal, the excursionists boarded the
cars and were once more under way,
passing through Charleston, where John
Brown’s spirit began “marching on,” they
Were soon crossing the i’otomuc at
Sheperdstown. Here the party was met
by Mr. C. M. Futterer, Passenger Agent
of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad, and
Mr. Dell K. Houck, filling a similar posi
tion on the Western Maryland Railroad.
These gentlemen accompanied the excur
sionists to Baltimore. They pointed out
various places of interest among them
the battlefield of Sharpsburg. At
Hagerstown a portly gentleman came
aboard aud was introduced as Mr.
R. H. Thomas, Secretary of the Penn
sylvania Editorial Association. He was
the bearer of au invitation from that body
for the Georgians to visit Gettysburg and
other points of interest in his State. It
was arranged that the excursionists ac
cept the proffered hospitalities on the fol
lowing Monday. This trip was destined
to be the most "interesting part of the ex
cursion.
MARYLAND.
The route from Hagerstown lay
along the edge of the Blue Ridge moun
tains, with the beautiful Cumberland
vallev to the west. Ascending the moun
tain "by what is known as the “Horse
Shoe” curve we descended into the famous
little Harbaush valley, one of the richest
agricultural districts in the Middle States.
Hundreds of comfortable homesteads in
the highest state of improvement dot the
landscape. Passing on through numerous
flourishing towns, we at last arrived at
our destination, the Monumental City, at
2 p. m. Friday.
Stepping from the cars the ex
cursionists were taken in charge
by a committee of Baltimore journalists,
consisting of Messrs. Charles W. Dash
iell, Of tin* non, h. B. Meekins, of the
American, T. W. Strehlau, of the German
Correspondent, R. A. Jenkins, of the
Mews, Fred.- Kettle, of the Herald,
George J. Gremou and several other
gentlemen, who saw them safely to
their conveyances and accompanied
the party to the Carrollton Hotel, which
had been selected as the resting place for
the newspaper pilgrims during their so
journ in Baltimore. As soon as the ex
cursionists had removed the dust of travel
anil refreshed themselves, carriages were
brought into requisition and visits made
to prominent places—the most of the party
spending the afternoon at Druid Hill Park,
and the evening at the Journalists’ Club
Room. A meeting of the Georgia Press
Association was held just before sup
per, when, after arranging sev
eral matters concerning the fu
ture movements of the excursionists,
Mr. S. H. Hardwick, the gentle
man who has been mentioned in the
first part of this letter as our railroad
guide, was presented with a gold-headed
cane as a slight testamonial of the appre
ciation of his services by the Georgia
journalists. The presentation was made
by Capt. Tyler M. Peeples, and Mr. Hard
wick responded in a handsome little
speech that proved that he could talk as
well as he worked. Mr. E. C. Kontz, con
ductor of the Pullman cars, was at the
same time given a handsome scarf pin.
Messrs. A. D. and M. Bendheim, for
merly of Savannah but now of Baltimore,
were particularly attentive to their Geor
gia friends.
EXCURSION ON CHESAPEAKE BAY.
On Saturday, in response to an invita
tion of the “Press Association of Balti
more,” the “Chemical and Fertilizer Ex
change,” and Merchants’ and Manufac-
Hirers’ Association, the party embarked
aboard the steamer Westernland and
made a trip down the bay to view the
terminal facilities of Baltimore. A
lunch and the usual accompani
ments were dispensed, and guests and
hosts then adjourned to the cabin, where
Mr. W. S. Powell, Chairman, introduced
his Honor, Mayor Latrobe, who welcom
ed the Georgia Press Association in a
very pleasant speech. He was replied to
by "the President of the association. A
number of able speeches were made, but
the general verdict was that our ministe
rial brethren, the Rev. John W. Heidt, of
the West Point Vet cs, and Rev. Dr. I. S.
Hopkins, of the Oxford .Journal, were the
orators of the occasion. On their return
to the whart, the Georgians gave three
cheers and a tiger for their kind enter
tainers.
At a meeting of the association held on
its return from the excursion, an invita
tion was received and accepted from the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad to visit
Washington, and all but a half dozen of
the party left that evening to spend Sun
day at the national capital.
PREACHER AND EDITOR.
Those who remained in the city on Sun
day attended Mt. Vernon Methodist
Episcopal Church (Northern) where our
confrere, Rev. Dr. I. S. Hopkins, officiated.
The old-fashioned Methodists of Georgia
would be astonished to see this magnifi
cent edifice, with its cathedral spire, and
its grand interior, supported by groined
arches. It was not in keeping with the
proverbial simplicity of the followers of
John Wesley. Listening to its liturgy,
hearing its chants, and looking at the
surroundings, one could readily imagine
that he was within the shadow of the Es
tablished (Jhureh. Mt. Vernon Church is
said to have a very wealthy congregation,
but there were only few present on
that Sunday. The minister said they had
gone to the springs and summer resorts to
escape the hot weather. In this they were
very like Christians further South.
President J. M. Hood and General Ticket
Agent B. H. Griswold, of the Western
Maryland Railroad, had arranged for the
press excursion to Pennsylvania on Mon
day, and the next day to take the party to
Pen-Mar and Blue Ridge Mountain House.
At 9 o’cleck a. m. the excursionists bade
good-bye to their Baltimore friends and
were soon on their way to Gettysburg.
ON TIIE HOAD TO GETTYSBURG.
We were met on the road by Messrs.
R. H. Tbomas, of the Farmer’s Friend,
Mechanicsburg; H. J. Stable, of the Get
tysburg Compiler; I). K. Wagner, of the
Shippensburg News; Mr. Stofer, and other
gentlemeu of the Pennsylvania Editorial
Association. Arriving’ at Gettysburg,
the rarty were escorted to the Eagle
Hotel. There they were introduced to a
number of ladies, representatives of the
better halves of the press of the Keystone
State. It was about noon, and the meal
necessary at that time was served
with the same regularity as others
had been during the journey.
It will be as well to mention here, it the
reader has not already discovered the fact,
that there were no meals omitted. After
dinner the party were provided with con
veyances and driven to the famous .bat
tle-field. Driving through the town the
marks of the fierce struggle were still
plainly visible. Board fences looked
as though they had been used as the back
boards of a Creedmoor target. A conical
shell still protruded from the brick wall
of one of the houses. There were marks
of the first day’s fight (July 1) when the
“rebs” drove the “yanks” through the
town and the latter took position on Cem
etery Hill.
THE BATTLE-FIELD.
Col. W. D. Holtzworth, the guide of the
party, had thorough the battle
and "the battle ground, and could point
out not only the location of every Federal
and Confederate corps during the three
days’ lighting, but could give the names
of division, brigade, regimental and bat
tery commanders and the respective po
sitions of their commands. Stand
ing on Cemetery Hill, or wfiere
Picket’s division " made its immortal
charge, or where Longstreet so vainly en
deavored to make up by brtrve fighting
the forever lost opportunity, or where
Ewell’s corps failed in its flank move
ment, Coi. Holtzworth’s words would
all but tiring back to the field the living
masses which battled together on those
eventful days. The party went over the
field, from Cemetery Hill to “Little Round
Top.” The advantages of positions were
all in favor of the Union forces, aDd our
Pennsylvania hosts were proud of the
heroism of the brave legions that charged
those hill sides bristling with cannon. It
is stated that President Lincoln, on view
ing the ground oyer which the
Cordederates charged, said he was
proud to claim as countrymen
the men who charged up those hills. The
battlefields of the three days cover an
area of twenty-five square miles. Nearly
all of what is now known as Cemetery
Ridge, from the hill on the east of the
cemetery to “Little Round Top,” the posi
tion occupied by the Union forces during
the second and third day’s battles, has
been purchased by the “Gettysburg Battle
field Association,” and the survivors of
Union regiments that took part iu the
conflict are erecting tablets showing their
positions during the battle. Each tablet
gives the name of the regiment, its
corps, division, brigade and command
er and the number of men killed in the
fight.
THE ARSIIEB OF THE NORTH AND THE
SOUTH.
Our hosts, while giving the Confeder
ates their lull meed of praise for their
bravery, always stated that the contending
armies were about equal in numbers. The
facts are Gen. Lee had 62,000 men and
Gen. Meade 95.000. President Davis in
his book gives tne reason for the invasion
of Pennsylvania, even with snch odds
against’ the South. The Federals had as
sembled an army at Fredericksburg num
bering 135,000 men, and were preparing
ior another “On to Richmond.” This im
mense army had to be battled with,
and it was thought best to trans
fer the contest to Northern soil.
Lee’s army crossed the Potomac
and the Union army followed. The battle
at Gettysburg was "unavoidable and had
to be fought. Had the Confederates trium
phed it would probably have ended the
war; as it was, it was not a victory for
the Union forces, except in its after re
sults. The first day’s fight resulted in
the rout of part of Meade’s army, and on
July 2 and 3 Meade only held his position.
Lee retreated leisurely across the
Potomac, the enemy not daring to
attack him. The object of the
invasion was accomplished, but the Army
of Northern Virginia lost thousands of
brave men whose places could not be
filled.
CARLISLE SCHOOL.
A railroad has been recently built from
the town of Gettysburg to “Little Round
Top,” for the accommodation of visitors.
The cars which had brought the party
had been sent to the latter point, and
leaving our carriages and bidding adieu
to our guide, we took this route back,
passing near Gettysburg, en route for
Carlisle. Arriving at the latter place,
conveyances were ready to take
the party to the Indian school.
(Carlisle barracks, though remote from
the scene of that conflict, was used dur
ing the Revolutionary war by the colo
nists as a recruiting station. The origi
nal buildingsatere built by the Hessians
captured at Trenton.
These rebuilt in 1836, and
burned by Confederate cavalry in
1863, After the war they were rebuilt
and used for military purposes until 1879,
since which time they have been used as
an industrial school for Indian youths
and maidens.
INDIAN YOUTHS AND 51AIDENS.
The idea of educating young Indians in
stead of fighting old ones had been dis
cussed since the days oi the Pilgrims,
but did not take a practical form until
Capt. Pratt, who will be remembered by
many of the readers of the Morning
News as the officer in charge of the In
dian prisoners confined at St. Augustine,
Fla., became identified with the philan
tropic scheme. The Carlisle school is doe
to his untiling energy. Capt. Pratt was
absent in the West when the excursion
ists visited the place, and Mr. A. J.
Standing, his assistant, and other
officers did the honors of the occasion. The
industries in which the Indians are being
instructed will be of service to
them on their return to their
far Western homes; they em
brace carpentering, wheelwrighting,
blacksmithing, harness-making, tinning
and tailoring. The girls are instructed in
sewing, cooking and household work.
Both sexes are taught all the branches
of an English education, and mu
sic; in all of which they show
marked proficiency. The excursion
ists secured the autographs ot a
number of Indian girls. Their pen
manship, it is said, has more lines of
beauty than their faces. These maidens
and youths may be handsome from an In
dian standpoint, but the eye of the Anglo-
Saxon fails to see in their laces the tradi
tional Indian beauties.
This Indian school is a worthy institu
tion, and will result*, if kent up. in the
civilization of the Indian tribes.
FITZHUGH LEE.
The party returned to the Mansion
House, the principal hotel of Carlisle,
where they rested for the night. Although
it was raining, quite a number of citizens
called to shake hands with the new in
vaders, among them Judge M. C. Her
man. This gentleman gave an interest
ing account of the occupation of the
town by the Confederates in 1863. Alter
Gen. Ewell’s departure, Carlisle was oc
cupied by a briglide of Pennsylvania
militia. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, who was
on his way to Gettysburg, bombarded the
town. The militia thought the entire
Confederate army was upon them, and the
Confederate cavalry commander was
under the impression that he had struck
the advance of Meade’s army,
and marched away during the night,
doubtless much to the gratification of the
citizens, who spent the night in their cel
lars. The militia doubtless were also well
pleased with the departure of the Confed
erates.
PEN-MAR.
The excursionists left Carlisle for
Pen-Mar at daylight the next morn
ing, taking their Pennsylvania edi
torial friends with them. Pen-Mar
is immediately on the old Mason and
Dixon line, and the name is an abbrevia
tion of Pen-nsylvania and Mar-yland. It
is a favorite summer resort, and
also the station where passengers
alight to ascend to the top of the
mountain, an easy, well-graded road lead
ing to High Rock. After a breakfast ten
dered by the Western Maryland Railroad
Company, carriages were’ brought into
requisition and the party were driven to
High Rock, which is 2,000 feet above the
level of the sea. The view from this point
is grand. As far as the eye can see, a
beautiful panorama of farms, villages,
towns aud cities stretches forth, and
the blue outlines of the distant mountains
form the horizon.
Returning the party dined at the Blue
Ridge Mountain House. This is an
immense summer caravansary, built
last year, and fitted up with all the re
quirements of modem hotel life. From
its spacious piazzas the mountain side
extends in steep abruptness until it joins
the beautiful Cumberland valley, 1,000
feet below. Comfortably seated in one of
the hundred or two easy rockers which a
liberal proprietor has provided for the
idle, lounging summer tourist, it is diffi
cult to realize that one is not looking
upon an immense picture.
HOMEWARD BOUND.
With the dinner at the Blue Ridge
Mountain House, the Georgia Press As
sociation was virtually adjourned. A
number of the members turned their
faces northward, but the majority
went homeward, visiting on their
way the taverns of Luray and the Natural
Bridge. Several even went to the French
Broad river, in North Carolina.
All in all, it was a most enjoyable trip.
The party were the recipients of many
courtesies, especially from the railroads.
Those over which the excursionists trav
eled were all in good condition and made
fast time, but the Georgians found none
better equipped or which made better
time than the Georgia Central, the Savan
nah, Florida and Western and other Geor
gia railroads. They saw no country,either
on the mountains,"in the valleys or by the
sea that they thought better than their
own Georgia.
A CONSERVATIVE RALLY.
Tbe Lords YYillinc to Pass the Franchise
Bill If the Country so Desires.
Manchester, Aug. 9,—-The Conserva
tive demonstration at Pomono Gardens to
day was a great success. It is estimated
that over 100,000 persons were present in
side the gardens aud at overflow
meetings outside. Right Hon. Sir
Richard Asheton Cross presided.
One hundred ad seventy members
of the Lancashire Conservative Associa
tion sent an address in support of the
Marquis of Salisbury’s policy. The Mar
quis of Salisbury made an address in
which he stated that he believed that fair
measures for the redistribution of parlia
mentary seats would greatly reinforce the
Conservatives. The House of Lords was
willing to pass the franchise bill if the
government appealed to the country
and found that it was in favor
of the measure. He was confident, he
said, that if the government resigned
their places would soon be fillsd, and a
complete measure of reform speedily
passed. He contended that the House of
Commons represented not the country’s
opinion now, but its opinion of five years
ago. He referred to John Bright’s speech
at the reform demonstration at Birming
ham as imaginative. Lord Randolph
Churchill also spoke. He said that appeals
to the people by both parties were certain
to speedily produce a general election,
which the Liberals feared, the memory of
Egypt, Ireland and Africa being too vivid.
He" admitted that he had
changed his views as to reform
since December, and had adopted the
views of the Tories. The party, he said,
was stronger than ever. Such’ an enor
mous gathering would have been impos
sible during any previous reform agita
tion. Lord Randolph Churchill was well
received and was loudly cheered.
An Alleged Panper.
Washington, Aug. 9.—The case of
Carney, an alleged immigrant pauper,
brought to this country on the steamship
Furnessia and now detained at the emi
grant refuhe by the Commissioners of
Emigration at New York, has been pre
sented at the Treasury Department on an
application made by the British Minister
through the Department of State that
Carney be released from custody. The
application is based on the ground" that he
is not a pauper within the meaning
of the law, and is accompanied by the
affidavits of friends of Carney,
in Philadelphia to the effect that they are
willing and able to provide for him until
he is able to secure employment. The
matter has lieen referred to the Commis
sioners of Emigration at New York, and
whatever action is taken will be based on
their reported.
Assaults on Editor*.
New York, Aug. 9. —La Figaro is a
German weekly newspaper published
here. It lately published an article ou
disreputable concert saloods on the east
side of the city. Seiglried Cronheim, who
keeps a saloon there, thought that the ar
ticle reflected on his resort and wrote a
note to the editor of La Figaro asking
him to call on him. The editor sent a re
porter, however, and Cronheim and
two men set on him and beat him badly.
The reporter went off to get a warrant for
his assailants, when Cronheim, his wife
and his friends went down to the editorial
rooms of La Figaro, and finding editor
Adolphus Hothmuller there, assaulted
him with heavy canes. They were all ar
rested.
Mexican Avaticlousness.
City of Mexico, Aug. 9.—The inde
pendent press protests against the confis
cation of the Hospital of Jesus by the
government. This hospital was endowed
by the will of the Conqueror Cortez. The
pretext for confiscation is found in non
fulfillment of the terms of the will, which
endowed the convent and the School of the
Allegory as well as the hospital. The first
two mentioned institutions have nevei
been established. The hospital has
hitherto been considered a sacred institu
tion.
Uniting Missouri’s Opposition.
St. Louis, Aug. 9.—A private confer
ence of about fifty liepublicans from va
rious parts of the State was held here
yesterday afterhoon to discuss the prac
ticability of uniting all opposition politi
cal elements in Missouri on an independ
ent State ticket against the so-calied Bour
bon Democracy in the coming election. A
full interchange of views was had and the
whole matter referred to a committee to
investigate and report to the State Central
Committee.
A Floating Clin Shop.
Berlin, Aug. 9.—lt is asserted here
that no official communication has yet
been made to Earl Granville, the British
Foreign Secretary, regarding the pillaging
of the provision cutter Diedrich, from
Bremen, by English fishing smacks. It
is probable that the Diedrich is a floating
gin shop, and that the whole affair was "a
dispute in regard to payment for
drinks.
A New Military Scheme.
London, Aug. 9.—Gen. Lord Wolseley
and Maj. Gen. Newdigate have issued a
scheme for anew system of attack by
battalions of infantry. Military critics
say that if this scheme is adopted it will
effect a revolution in the tactics of the
English infantry. They pronounce the
scheme thoroughly suited to the exigen
cies of modern warfare.
/Eronaut Hayden’s Trial.
Cincinnati, Aug. 9.—James Hayden,
formerly an ceronaut, who killed Mike
Morgan, known in circus circles as the
“Cannon Ball Thrower,” was to-day
found guilty of manslaughter. Tne jury
were out three hours, including time for
supper. The verdict was unexpected by
Hayden, who had expected to leave the
city to-night.
AMERICA’S RICHEST WOMAN.
A T Stewart’s Early Love Long
Branch’s Cuban Beauty.
Correspondence of the Morning Mews.
New Y'ork, Aug. B. —One of the popular
fallacies which seems to have gained
wide-spread credence is that Mrs. A. T.
Stewart is the richest woman in the world.
While Mrs. Stewart is, without ques
tion, in the front rank of wealthy women
she must yield to Miss Catharine Wolfe
the satisfaction which accompanies the
knowledge of being the wealthiest lady in j
the country. Though yet a maid, Miss i
Wolfe is far from being young. She is j
already just a trifle on the shady side of i
50 years, but while neither young nor i
handsome she is one of the pleasantest
ladies known to metropolitan life. She
has an income of $500,000 a year and
she knows how to spend it without
wasting it. Miss Wolfe, like many of
the other substantial New Yorkers, has
a penchant for the trifle covered by the
words “real estate.” In little bric-a-bracs
of this nature she has invested the neat
little sum of $6,000,000, The value of her
property is advancing so rapidly that it
will be but eight or ten years at the fur
thest before her income can be counted at
$1,000,000 a year. Miss Wolfe is
and sprightly in her manners, so cordial
in all her relations, and withal possesses
the savoir Jaire of the society lady, that
when seen in a drawing room few would
realize that she is on the down track of
life. Her house at Newport, which was
completed last summer, is palatial and is
the finest residence pn the Atlantic coast.
It will compare favorably with any ot the
famous country mansions in Europe; in
fact, in many particulars it is superior to
them, because it has the advantages of
all the modern improvements. It has
electric lights and is iurnished in oriental
magnificence. Miss Wolle’s New York
residence is at Madison avenue and
Twenty-fourth street, and is an Inherit
ance from her father, who lived in it many
.years. Many of the handsomest and best
gentlemen in New Y'ork society have tried
to win Miss Catharine’s favor, but she has
always had the fear that the attentions
which were paid to her were not sincere,
and were dictated by an all-absorbing de
sire to get possession of her wealth, and
rather than make such a marriage her
preference has steadfastly been to remain
single and the custodian of her vast pos
sessions. Miss Wolfe is the daughter of
the late Peter Wolfe, who, under the firm
name of Wolfe & Bishop, did a wholesale
business in hardware, tinware and gen
eral notions in a small shop in Chambers
street many years ago. Mr. Wolfe was a
contemporary of A. T. Stewart, and
closely followed the dry goods merchant
in his business maxims. In early
life he married the younger sister of old
Peter Lorillard, the head ot the great to
bacco firm, and with her received a for
tune of $1,000,000. In. a few years Mr.
Wolfe’s .wife died, and several months
later he was united in marriage to old
Peter’s second sister, and he received
another fortune of $1,000,000. His second
wife, however, was also doomed to pass
away after a few years, and he was again
a widower, but with the consolation of
being in control of $2,000,000. Mr. Wolfe
did not venture on the matrimonial sea
again, and a few years later died, leaving
three of his children to the guardianship
of the present heiress, Miss Catharine
Wolfe.
SPEAKING OF MISS WOLFE’S REJECTED
SUITORS
calls to mind a pathetic love story which
I heard the other day, the hero being no
less a prominent personage than the late
A. T. Stewart. As everybody knows,
Stewart came to this country from Ire
land when a mere boy, and immediately
began building up his fortune. He left it
sweetheart behind him named Abbie Mor
row, whom he was to return to and marry
when he had made a home ior her. When
his mother died he returned to tho Green
Isle to secure £SOO which she had willed
him. It represented all her earthly pos
sessions, but was quite a godsend to young
Stewart, who was working hard in his
struggles against, the world. Two
brothers and Miss Aiibic were
all tnat remained of his sweetheart’s
family. He renewed his engagement and
spoke so well of tho United States that
William aud David Morrow were induced
to sell their farm, and with Abbie came
with their friend to New Y'ork. The Mor
rows had friends in Northern Ohio, aud so
they went to Cleveland. They purchased
a farm, built a comfortable house and
were soon known as substantial citizens.
This was nearly sixty years ago. A few
months after their arrival in Ohio Stewart
paid them a visit. He was cordially wel
comed as the promised husband of the
sister, remained a few days aud then re
turned to New York. That was the last
Abbie Morrow ever saw of him. He was
doing well in New York, and was rapidly
making a fortune. His letters became
brief and less frequent, and finally ceased
altogether. At last the news of his mar
riage reached the brothers. They
kept the news from their sister
as long as they could, but were
at last compelled to tell her of her lover’s
inconstancy. She was too high-spirited
to parade her grief among her acquaint
ances, and kept about her household
duties in a quiet manner for thirty years.
Then she died and was buried on a hil
lock in the centre of the farm. Every
year during her life Stewart sent her a
silk dress, but she never wore any of
them. As fast as she received them they
were laid away untouched, and when
•he died the brothers returned them all
to tbe donor. She received many offers of
marriage, but they appealed in vain. She
never again put her trust in man.
LONG BRANCH IS IN A FLURRY OVER
a wondrous beauty, who claims Cuba as
her native isle. I spent a couple of days
down at the Branch in the early part of
this week, and caught a glimpse of the
little charmer several times. She was
the cynosure of all eyes whenever she put
in an< appearance ’ on the verandahs
or promenaded on the beach. She is
called the “Queen of Cuba.” Her name
is Dolores Cespedes. She is the daughter
of Gen. Cespedes, who was killed about
fourteen years ago in the Cuban rebel
lion against Spanish rule. Twins were
born to the widow a few' months after her
husband’s death, and Dolores is one oi
them. She is a brunette and one of the
most beautiful specimens of the pure
Spanish type that I have ever seen, either
In person or picture. Her lace, while
characteristic of her nationality, is more
regular and delicate in the features than
is usual among her countrywomen. Her
hair is jet black, her eyes large and lus
trously soft, her complexion rich and
clear, and her expression bright and ami
able. Whenever she appears among the
dancers in a hotel parlor or the loungers
on a verandah no one else is looked at.
She dresses in a childish fashion yet, and
not w’ith any adherence to Cuban styles;
nor are her juvenile manners affected by
the coquettishness common to the girls df
Cuba. There is an amusing appendage
to Miss Dolores. Her twin brother is a
half head shorter than she and as much
behind her in physical development. But
he has gravely charged himself with the
duty ot protecting his sister, and his au
thoritative way of leading her perempto
rily out of a group which to his mind has
become too masculine and admiring in its
composition, makes the spectators smile.
THE SUNDAY CONCERTS IN CENTRAL
PARK
have been such a success that an effort
is being made to introduce music in the
smaller parks on Sunday afternoons.
Two thousand working men have peti
tioned for music in Tompkins Square, on
the East side, aud one tobacco firm has
offered to supply a band for a month, pro
vided others will do tbe same, in case the
city fathers think that they cannot afford
the expense. In order to temper the
good they have done on Sundays, our
model Park Commissioners have removed
the benches from the small parks, in or
der to “spite the tramps,” as they say,
thus compelling the women and children
to swing on the chains or sit on the grass.
The Aldermen have asked the Commis
sioners to restore the benches, but thus
far in vain. II they continue acting so
meanly a mass meeting of down town
Citizens will be held to insist upon their
rights in the premises.
Some of the undertakers are in a flutter,
not over the possible advent of cholera
and a corner in coffins, but because of
some developments in regard to the burial
of infants. It was discovered recently
that in the case of many infants who died
only a few days old the parents did not
think it best to go to the expense of a
fuueral, but gave the body to an under
taker to bury. He was paid from S3O to
$75 for a coffin and the interment in a
cemetery. A handsome little coffin and
box were brought, and the body was
taken away in a carriage—but not to the
cemetery. It returned to the undertaker’s,
were the coffin was stripped off for future
use, and the little body was sent to the
morgue to be disposed of as the city
authorities chose. This game has worked
well in hundreds of cases, and was only
brought to light by an absent father re
turning and demanding to see the body
| of his child. A hasty visit was paid to
the potters field by night and one o I
three or four small bodies that had been
disinterred was selected to represent the
dead little one. Suspicion was aroused
and a discovery of the ghoulish practice
was made. Happily the poorer portion of
the population know little of myster
ies of our larger suburban cemeteries,
where land is dear and monuments are
rare and the bodies of the poor crowd one
another in the grave. M.
Bruegels’ Demonstration*.
Brussels, Aug. 9.— There will be a
Liberal demonstration to-morrow. The
Burgomaster has arranged for the Liberal
and Independent processions to take dif
ferent routes. A convention of the Bur- '
gomasters and Counsellors of all the com
munes in the country assembled in the
town hall in this city to-day. The room
was crowded, and much enthusiasm was
manifested. The Burgomaster of
Antwerp read the “compromises

delegates will sign, stating their objec
tions to the ministerial educational bill.
All present took the oath of adhesion to
this document.
