"What is a trip, te the Wert T Where la

cities, and San Francisce la the Weet At
SaalFranctaM the Beat Indlaa are the Weet,
If you continue your Journey as for aa
'India, Londen and Parte are the clttea of
1 the Weet, and when you get there the Weet

cabin thla manner continue your Journey
indefinitely without ever finding the Weet.
The writer recollects when a visit te the1
eastern counties of Ohie was spoken of aa
ajourney te the great West-te the "back
woods." The trip could be accomplished
only en horseback, and It occupied mere
than a week. New the Pennsylvania rail
road takes you te Steubenvllle, en the
Ohie river, In about eleven hours. '
In the last year.ef the lsst century,Camp
bell, In describing distance and solitude In
regions where Hepe bad neVer dWelt, said :
"The breezes blew
Frem waitM that dumber tn eternal mew ;
And waft across tbe wave, tumullueiu rear
The wetr. long bowl (Tem Ounalaska'a shore.''
It is new but a short summer excursion
te Alaska, Indescribably beautiful and
Interesting, which Is enjoyed by thousands
of excursionists.
Only a few years age traveling was a
aeries of labors and annoyances. Alterna
tions of stage coaches and railroad cars,
1 l'nvelvlng"changes every few hours, con
tests for comfortable Mats, trouble and
t anxiety about baggage and uncertainties
1 about feed, were among the vexations of a
I journey. New that Is happily all changed.
A flatter or business calls yen te a place a
abort distance, aay two thousand miles
from home. Yeu purchase your ticket,
get a check for your baggage te the place of
destination, take a comfortable aeat In a
gorgeous Pullman car and congratulate
yeurseirthat, with perhaps a single change
of eArs, by merely stepping from one train
te another, In about sixty hours you will
bcjUt the end of your journey. During
that time you need net leave your car ; for
lueire you iiavu society iu euierwuu yuu,
Iks te read and abundant opportunity
te wt, drink and be merry. And when
vow arrive at your lsst station you are
4 fenTeS tuat M yur SP6'
suam. ' ' nt"Aia have never troubled your-
Wnibe In the baggage room awaiting
ljyeur orders.
&" A Inn rn av nf turn thmiwind miles west-
J ward takes you te the Recky mountains.
When you start, you naturally dread a
continuous ride of sixty hours'.duratlen;
but aa you go, time flies se rapidly that
yen can hardly realise the fact of its termi
nation. The constant changes-of scenery
delight the eye and keep the mind em
ployed, tdtmie makes up his mind te see
sii lea-r-0 m gees, requires 110 expe
diemy iHSW blm te kill time. Te him
who has sn eye for beauty and a heart that
expands with pleasure, the charm of being
wailed through the romantic scenery of the
Juniata vslley and the Alleghenles, the
golden fields of Ohie, the dark forests and
green swamps of Indiana, the huge corn
fields of Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, and
the rich pastures of Kansas and Colerado,
at a speed or fiem thirty te sixty miles an
hour, is an Inexpressible delight.
The main gate te the Recky mountains
is the youthful but great city or Denver,
the city or the plain one of the wonders
or modern times. But a few years age she
sat down ti the cactus beds of the great
plain, about flfteen miles from the moun
tains, a weak and lonely village. New
the arid plain upon which she then sat, by
the magle of her will, has become almost as
rich iu farms and gardens as Lancaster
county ; and she numbers one hundred
thousand inhabitants. She may net be
the probability is that she is net any
mere moral than the ancient cities of the
plain Tyre and Sidon but she greatly
excels thfim iu beauty, perseverance and
Intaxpanslve power. She will In ft few
years be .the most beautiful city of utedern
times. Her energy has partly honey heney honey
ceinbod the mountains, aud has bound
thorn with iron bands. Her growth is the
.most marvelous or the age. The fact that
she has put land, two miles from the
centre, up te the price of one thousand
dollars per acre for town lets, and new
actually sells tbem at that prlce,preves that
sbe is a man el. The wonder still grows,
hew sbe was able te start and keep up
such'' a boom. This circumstance is prob
ably owing te the fact that the mountains
of Colerado yield annually above thirty
million dollars in geld and sliver, nearly
all of which passes through her hands and
pays heavy tribute te her genius and enter
prise; but. It is, nevertheless, one et the
wonders of the age.
Notwithstanding the sttnictlens or the
city or Denver, the experienced traveler
will net tarry long within ber borders dur
ing the het summer season. Her sun is het
and oppressive and her zephyrs bring no
cooling air with them. He who seeks
comfort will hurry away te the mountain.
As seen as an altltude or eight or nlne
thousand feet above the the level of the sea
Is reached, the whole atmosphere Is
changed. The skies are bluer by day, the
stars are brighter by night, ana the air is
se pure and exhilarating that it Is a posi
tive hyxury te sit and Inhale It. Ne proper
Idea or such surroundings can be conveyed
by words. They must be seen and Celt in
order that they may be realized. Breezes
fresh from contact with the pure rneuutaln
,news and perfumed with flowers are
necessarily mere delightful than these
simply laden with "spicy odors from the
aunny field of Araby the Blest." A week in
the mountains is worth mere In pure de
light than a month en the seashore. Te be
in a position, in the middle of July, where
you can make snow Daws witii one hand
and gather flowers or strawberries et the
. same time with the ether, has charm be.
yond anything effered by Jersey sand,
and the melody or the fostlve mesquite,
even though tetnpered by the sweet breath
of the ocean.
Miniug in Colerado has long since ceased
te be a merely speculative business. In the
early yeais of the discovery of the precious
metals, men worked thelr mines only Iu
expectation or making a utrlke and reaping
a fortune in a abort time. Such expecta
tions were realized occasionally ; but gen
erally the result was failure and bank
ruptcy, simply because the work was done
In a careless and unbusinesslike manner.
Bnt after the excitement of first discovery
and or fortunate strikes passed an ay, the
owners of mines realized the necessity of
conducting their mining operations In
a rational and buBiness-like manner. In
the elder mining camps, like Central City,
Georgetown and Leadvllle, the work of
mining Is carried en in the same msnner
that manufacturing Is In the Eastern states,
and coal mining and farming are In Penn
sylvania. Tuefte three cities produce as

building mills and bosses la pursued with
Irresistible activity. And, strange aa It
may seem, In that far away valley, which
la nearly surrounded by apparently Inac
cessible mountains, la heard,, the ahrlll
whistle of the locomotive. - Twe railroads
have extended their Iren arma Inte
the town, and of course adding very
much te Ha Increase and Importance.
Until quit lately It waa supposed that
the narrow guage waa the proper, land In
deed the only, railroad that could be suc
cessfully operated en the high grades of
the mountains. Fer many years the jDen
ver A Bie Grande and Colerado Central,
both narrow guage reads, had the entire
control of the mountain trade, and a -seen
as Aspen had a mine or two opened and a
few houses built, the D. A R. G. R. R. com
pany bullta branch Inte the place. Lately,
the Colerado Midland railroad company
conceived, tha Idea of building a standard
gauge read from Colerado Springs te Lead
vllle, which they subsequently, by mesne
of the most wonderful feats of engineering,
extended te Aspen. This, pleee of work
has established the' fact that the standard
gauge railroad can cress ravines at a height
ofhundredseffeet,hungonlbe mountain
cliffs, and climb elevations of twenty te
thirty degrees aa well as the narrow gauge.
It baa also established the fact that modern
engineering can construct railroads,
whether standard or narrow guage, wher
ever they may be desired, j JP
Modern enterprise Is Illimitable. A few
years age Jules Verne published a romance
entitled "Round the World In Eighty
Days." Reality has entirely overshadowed
that romance, for Nellie illy "encircled the
world In less than eighty dayal It Is
barely possible that the hereafter may.pro may.pre
duce an engineer who will realise another
efM. Verne'a romances, and make a suc
cessful Journey te the moon.
The above, except the last paragraph,
waa written seen after the writer's return
from the Recky mountains last August, If
It was worth anything when written. It Is
net any lees valuable new.

shall net in any case excoed 4,000, and bnly
In very exceptional cases should this limit
be reached. The enumeration required by
the census act will commence en the first
Monday of June next, and must be
completed in cities having ever 10,000
Inhabitants, according te tbe census of
1880, within two weeks from that
date, and in all ether districts en or
before the first day of July next thereafter.
Each applicant for appointment as census
enumerator must make a written applica
tion te the supervisor for his district, giv

blrtb, his prevent legal residence and poet peet poet
etUco address, the principal facta of bis
education and professional or business
experience, including a statement of all
national, state, county or municipal ofBees
at auy tlme held by blm, and tbe place and
nature of bis present occupation. This
application must be throughout In the
handwriting of tbe applicant, and he must
se certify therein. It will be necessary for
each enumerator, before entering upon his
duties, te receive a commission, under the
hand of tbe supervisor or tbe district te
which he belongs, and te take and subscribe
an oath or affirmation that he will faithfully
discharge all tbe duties required of him
under the law."
The compensation te be paid is fixed by
section 11 or the act or March 1, 1889, and
firevldcs a minimum or two centa for each
Ivlng inhabitant, two cents for each death,
15 cents for each farm, 20 cents for each es
tablishment of productive Industry, and 6
cents for each surviving soldier, sailor or
marl 110, or widow of a soldier, sailor, or.
marine, enumerated and returned, for all
subdivisions where such allowances shall
be deemed sufllclent. In all ether subdi

The Exercises, Held In iCelletxe Chapel,
Bnjeyed By a Fetr-etaed Andleaea.
"MaeJe Wondered by the Ola Club.
The Utter half of tha aenler dees of
FraaktU and Marshall college thla
morning delivered their orations la
the jceHege1 chapel before a mlr-elaed
audHnee. Immediately after tha regu
lar chapel exercises G. B. Llrabert, of
Madlsenburg, Pa., waa introduced and
spoke en "Misdirected Energies." In
every man la Implanted an Innate power of
doing a certain work. Man Is the climax
of creation, All the forces of nature are at
his disposal for his own happiness and tha
welfare of hla fellow-man and the honor of
hie Creater. Only by Judicious use does
aaa develop his resources aud advantages.
Toe often history tells ue thts Is net done.
Three characteristics of human nature are
the cause of misdirected energies super
stition, fanaticism and werdly ambition.
The crusades and Napeleon are examples.
Mr. K. L. MoLean.ef Urumfieldsvllle.was
tbe next speaker, subject "The Bleed of
Aesop." Because he would net divide a
sum of geld Aesop was executed. Tha
bleed of Aesop became a well-known
adage. The desire of wealth Is salutary,
provided It la regarded as for the accom accem accom
'pltshmentef the ultimate end of life; out-,
ward conditions require free personality
for earthly subsistence. The core of wealth
does mueh evil; It begets a destre te rule,
envy and hatred. The love of wealth should
be exehanged for that of vlrtne and duty.
Mr. D. M. Jenes, of Pettsvtlle, spoke en
"A Practical question." Thirty-seven
years age Franklin and Marshall colleges
were "united. Success has crowned their
union. Three factors govern our Institu
tion; Reformed church, trustees and
students. Frem the church'she must draw
her support, from trustee ber government
from students her popularity and enthu
Mr. B, M, Meyer, of Rohreretewn,
spokeen " Our Common Scheel System."
Thaddeus Stevens was the prime mover in
Pennsylvania's common school system.
Lycurgus, the Grecian lawgiver, aaw the
necessity of education, and as even kings
and despots new acknowledge ita necessity
much mere necessary Is It le a republican
government. The citizens acknowledge
the state's right te education when they
ask It te help support tue""scliOelB,.The,J
extent te which a stale ought te educate
her citizens Is a debatable question, but
should be carried beyond tbe S r". A
mere serious quoslien 1 Ihe Bible tn our
public schools.
Mr. J. N. Naly, of Greensburg, Pa.,
spoke en "Our Country's Peer." In the
larger cities the greateat extremes are
found, the rich are richer, the peer poorer,
and tha greater the city, the greater tha
contrast Our government la a body poli
tic; therefore, if one member Is diseased it
must affect the whole,
Mr. C. D. Neff, of Alexandria, Pa., spoke
en "The Necessity for the Overthrew of
Mormenlstn." Mormonism Is one of the
great problem that Is confronting the
United States government te-day, and ha
been for two generations. It teaches three
doctrines directly opposed te the spirit of
the constitution ; First, the union of church
and state. Second, the shedding of man's
bleed for the remission or his sins. Third,
the complete subservlence and mental
slavery or women. Repression by the
government 1 the only solution,
Mr. Takee Neya, of Wakamatsn, Japan,
followed en "The Constitutional Growth of
Japan." Tbe constitution of a people Is a
growth, a subtle organism, and cannot be
manufactured in a day. There were two
currents in the stream of political activity;
tbe one among tbe official circles, the ether
among these of lower social life, each aided
In tbe work by her parties, net mechani
cally aggregated, but which sprung from
tbe national life itself. Tbe rise of Japan
under the new constitution is a political
miracle even te the experienced West and
well may his majesty, the present ruler of
Japan, rejoice,
Mr. J. Runkle, of Spring Mills, Pa.,
spoke en "Tbe Virgin Queen." Elizabeth,
tbe daughter or tbe tyrannical Henry VIII,
obtained the crown after the bloody reign
of her half-sister, Mary J and was scarcely
en her threne until she was barrassed by
Mary Queen of Soets. Literary splendor
added te tbe lustre of her age se prolific of
great men.
Mr. A. M. Shaflner, of Hummelstown,
Ph., speke en the "Lien or the North,"
Sweden. Though stripped or its vast do
mains her treasure still rests in tbe undy
ing fame of ber sons ; her pride In tbe de
voted attachment which they always msn msn
Ifest toward their country ; ber glory In
tbe deeds which add lustre te her history ;
her consolation In the religious reeling
which geverned her leaders. Sweden cat!
rightfully lay claim te some of the most
distinguished men or modern times, but
Gustavus Adelpbus towers above tbe
ethers as tbe Alleghenles tewer above the
Blue Ridge. He was tbe greatest general
or his age, the purest statesman or Europe,
and tbe bravest champion or Protestantism
or the seventeenth century.
Mr.C. V. Smith, or Middletewn, Mil.,
snokeen "A Lefty Aspiration." Ferm
Is written in glowing colors ou the heights
el bumsn acblvements. A scJllsh spirit
usually predominates In tbe struggle for
positions of honor. Christian duty prompts
us te extend a helping band. May It be
our loftiest aspiration te evolve something
In our lives that shall llve In all It beauty
when earthly triumphs have crumbled Inte
dust
Mr. W. C. Sykes, of AUentewu, Pa., fol
lowed en "The Fall or Poland." Tbe
Peles were a nation of warriors,net of poets.
Consequently tbe g'ery of Pelsnd is for
gotten. Tbe Poles occupied their land from
prehistoric times and the dismemberment
or Poland in tbe latter part or the eigh
teenth century by Russls, Prussia and
Austria was most cowardly. But the
avenger came, and new, after a hundred
years, we bear of a great social revolution.
C. D. Welrick, or Myerstown, Pa.,
spoke en " The Essentials or Success."
Trust end confidence are the foundation
or success. The gifts or men sre infinite In
character and degree, but the rarest Is tbe
faculty for honest work. Intelligence is
a prerequisite te success. Tbe whole field
of human knewledge furnishes material
for use in after life. The history of our
country justifies optimism.
The exercises were Interspersed with
music rendered by the Glee club.

A Tiller With a Liveried Cosehnmn.
One of the social queene of the Back Bay,
Bosten, waa arrested en Tuesday for shop
Itftins at Jerdan. Marsh., A. Ce.'s store.
She bad stolen $3 worth of ribbons 'ttwi-J
laeea when arretted, and she left ber coach
man and an elegant turnout In front of the
store while she walked te police bead
quarters with Inspector Knox. A message
wss sent te the husband, a State street
broker, by the prisoner, and In half an
hour he bailed her out, depositing f 100 la
cash for Bar appearance at oeurt. Of course
she felled te appear for trial yeeterday.
She gave the name of " Mary Smith, " and
the police will continue te leek for "Mary
Smith. "
Tha Back Bay has turned out several
"kleptomaniacs," but this is the first time
a liveried coachman and pair were used by
tbe operator. One well known lady, who
baa been caught In the act several times,
Uvea In the Back Bay. 8he has a mania
for stealing small article. Why sbe
should de Iti a question that puzzles both
tbe police and her friends. Her husband
provide her with plenty or money, and
tbey have all the luxuries desired in their
home, yet she wilt go out and steal tmsll
articles te tbe value of a dollar or two. She
waa never known te steal .anything of
great value. After several experiences of
this kind her husband arranged It se that
when she entered any of the big stores, she
would be followed, and a list msde of all
the articles that she stele. Then tbe bill
wss sent te him, and he sottled It

Others say thst tbe detectives have entered
Inte a combination with tbe lawyers for tbe
purpose of forcing liquor dealers te employ
