were walled in, the

docks effectually shutting out all signs of
the city except the steeples and chimneys.
And when one has lapMed, got through the
Custom House and Climbed up into the
streets the scene is certainly sot en-
STBEET DT
chanting. Most of the streets are
dirty, some narrow, and the build
ings, with a few conspicuous excep
tions, are not at all elegant. Besides, it al
most always rains in Liveipool. and the
sight of dirty streets, slippery sidewalks,
streaming gutters and dripping houses is
dispiriting in the extreme. Even Nelson's
monument at the Exchange, not a cheeriul
sight at any time, takes on an added melan
choly when it rains The hero of Trafalgar,
with the water droppinc from the end ol his
nose, looks as thongh he would gladly ex
change the victor's wreath for an umbrella.
Death would apparently fain trade off his
robe for a waterproof, while the four figures
at the base seem plunged in deepest grief at
having to face such a beastly climate clad
only in chains.
It was raining when we landed, so with
out delay we shook Liverpool's mud from
our leet, took aGreat "Western train at
Birkenhead and in half an hour were in
Chester, one of the oddest, quaintest most J
ancient and most interesting towns in
"Merrie England."
The Grosvenor Hotel gives us most hos
pitble welcome, and alter the first meal eaten
on land, and at a table which stood still,
aince leaving New York, we sally forth to
view the sights. The rain has ceased, and
the sun is going down in a glow of golden
light. The old town proper is inclosed with
walls, the foundations dating from the time
when the Romans held itand called it Deva
Castra", the remainder from the reign of Ed
ward J. They are about eight feet thick,
and in good preservation, the top being in
closed with parapets and the whole forming
a delightful promenade about two and a
half miles long.
AX ETENUTG OS THE -STALLS.
"We set out along the wall, passing the
Cathedral, a Gothic structure of great
beauty, built in 109S. The chimes are just
sounding the hour of 8. and a lot of birds,
startled from their perches among the ivied
, towers, are fluttering noisily among the
trees. The walls are thronged with strollers,
and on the seats in the recesses of the para
pets loving couples 'spoon in delightful
unconsciousness of, or utter indifference to,
the public gaze. Smart, red-coated soldiers,
with little round caps on one side of their
heads and canes in hand, play gallant to
the maids with an elegance of style and
demeanor that cast the civilians into the
shade. Human nature is the same all the
world over, and like their sisters in every
dime, the Chester damsels "dote on the
railitarv."
But everyone on the scene is not "on
pleasure bent," for leaning over the parapet
we look down in the Ellesmere canal, which
winds along at the foot, connecting Chester
with Liverpool. Two long, narrow canal
boats are going by, one towed by a man and
a boy, while the other is slowlv dragged
along by the united efforts of a woman and
a boy. The tow line goes around the
woman's waist, and her form is bent forward
to her heavy task. A 3-year-old child clings
to her skirts, and in the stern of the boat sits
her lord and master steering, and smoking a
short pipe in comparative ease and superla
tive comfort.
The town is built on a high promontory,
nearly surrounded by the Biver Dee, and in
places the walls rise to a great height above
the water. Near the highest part is a round
tower bearing the inscription, "King
Charles stood on this tower September 24,
1645, and saw his army defeated on Bowton
Moor." Poor Charles! How heavy the
heart he carried with him down those 'stone
stairs, as he turned from seeing his cavaliers
flee be lore the grim, psalm-singing Bound
heads! "We are still moralizing, when a woman
hurries out and for the not unwieldy snm of
threepence ofiers to admit us to King
Charles council chamber. It was certainly
cheap enough lor the privilege, but as we
would have had no business with His Maj
esty had he been at home and with his head
on we decline and pursue our stroll.
SPORTS TJT THE FIELDS.
Oa one side of the city the walls are
skirted with open fields, and apparently
half of the young men ana boys in the place
are here engaged in sports. Cricket has the
call, but football, foot racing and pole jump
ing have their votaries, and the scene is
very attractive. Stout, hearty, athletic
young men and bovs are joining iu the
games with a zest which seems to enter into
the spectators, and the whole occasion is one
of healthy, innocent enjoyment delightful
to see. It is with reluctance we tear our
selves away, and, following the turn
in the walls, come along by the
Biver Dee. Here the scene is little less
animated, for single shells, two, fonr, six
and eight-oared boats flash up and down the
stream, the oarsmen gay in white and col
ored flannels, and making the air vocal wl'th
their songs and laughter.
"We top to admire the handsome stcine
bridge, whose single arch spans the 200 ieet
from shore to shore, and see just belo r a
mill, the wheel idle for the night. A dusty

A
coated individual leans over the railing of a
gangway that runs along the outside and
gazes meditatively into the race. Is he a
descendant of that philosophic gentleman of
whom the poet sang?
There was a jolly miller once
lived on the river Dee;
He worked and sung from morn till night,
No lark more blithe than he.
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be:
"I care for nobody, no, not J,
If nobody cares for me."
A philosophic frame of mind, in truth,
but hard to get into, and still more hard to
be merry with after one has gotten into it.
Our miller sang not, however. He merely
gazed down into the swirling waters, spat
in them, looked up and down'the Dee and
went back into the mill.
The wall turns again, and we go past the
castle, built in the days of the Conqueror,
but so remodeled in modern times as to look
little like a castle. It has fallen from its
high estate, for while part of it is used as
an armory and barracks, the rest serves as
courthouse and county jaiL Not far away
is an old fashioned house, its timbers black
ened with age. It bears the singular sign,
"God's Providence House." and under
neath is the text, "The fear of the Lord is
a fountain of life." It got this name from
the fact that during the great plague it was
ihe only house in Chester from which the
grim destroyer did not claim and get a vic

By this time we have made the circuit of
the walls, and we descend into the town.
Ihe space within the walls is in the shape of
parallelogram, as were the old Soman
camps, audis traversed by two main streets,
intersecting in the middle of the town, and
ending in lour gateways. These streets are
very singular, in that, for the most part,
they are sunken below the houses. The
sidewalks are under the second storieB of the
bouses, forming a sort of arcade, with shops
within. Prom these sidewalks stone steps
lead down to the road.
It is now after 9 o'clock, but the wonder
ful twilight makes it seem almost like day.
The narrow streets, lined with the quaint,
overhanging buildings, are thronged with
people, and a gayer, merrier crowd one
could not meet anywhere. They seem like

that is infectious. The shops are all open

brisk, and in this quaint, old-fashioned
town there is a life and spirit that are al
most Parisian. "We join the throng and
wander along with it, happy and interested
without knowing why. and the old Cathe

EDUCATIONAL KEWS.
The Formation of Character In the School.
SlaccRsrd Notes of Intercut.
Mrs. H. E. Monroe, a woman suffrage ad
vocate, who is well known on the platform
in Pittsburg, lectured yesterday afternoon
before the Pittsburg Teachers' Academy to
quite a good assemblage. Her subject was
"The Formation of Character in the Public
Schools." She said that the schools were
not to reach only a certain percentage in geog
raphy or other studies, but to make the best
citizens out of the material given the teachers.
From the labor statistic. Mrs. Monroe said,
there are 125 000 wage workers of school ace In
Pennsylvania and that there are really 200,000
children out of school, but that the
teachers, cither as Sabbath or night
school teachers, had Influence over them
and that the teachers aro really the educator
of the masses, and have the privilege of enter
ing homes, where ministers are not allowed to
enter; that teachers should bear in mind con

Bessie Bramble Discusses the Old Question
In a Uew Way.
COJfFUSING FACTS FOR THE SIHQLB
IWMniJ TOR TIES MSdTCH.1
In the earlier centuries of Christianity
marriage was opposed and condemned by
some of the most eminent apostles and
fathers of the church. "Celibacy must be
chosen," says Tertullian, "though the
whole human race should perish." "Mar
riage at the best is a vice that we must ex
cuse and purify," is the statement of
Jerome. "Marriage is unholy and un
clean," says Origen, the stalwart father of
Biblical criticism. All through the records
of the early church is made plain the fact
that celibacy was esteemed as the highest
and most exalted virtue, and marriage re
garded as an inevitable evil. The majority
of the leaders of the church held and elo
quently urged that while marriage was not,
perhaps, a deadly sin, yet men and women
were more pure and blessed without it
that marriage might give some measure of
happiness in the world, yet celibacy would
give a far higher degree iu heaven.
This determined antagonism to the "holy
estate oi matrimony" found ample authority
in the inspired utterances of St. Paul, who,
claiming to be possessed of the spirit of God,
asserted that while marriage might be en
tered upon without sin, yet not to marry
was vastly better. Another of the most
noted opponents of marriage was St. Augus
tine, who, with all eloquence, portrayed the
the dazzling pre-eminence of celibates in
heaven as compared with the dull obscurity
of the married. The "Apostolic-Constitutions,"
which are held to be the regulations
of the Apostles themselves, furnish testi
mony that the early Christians were thoi--oughly
taught and well grounded in t'ae
doctrine that the highest places and great
est honors not only in the bhurch, bu t in
the world to come were assigned to the -unmarried.
The great and amazing extent to which
the opposition to marriage was carried in
those days may be inferred and understood
fiom the statement that the "P.mceror
Honorius banished Joviuius whomever he
was for asserting the possibility jf a man
being saved who lived with his wlfe even
though he obeyed all the ordinances of the
church and lived a good life." The great
Gregory VIIL (Hildebrand) -used all his
power to enforce celibacy.
EVE RESPONSIBLE IXKB IT.
All this determined opposition to marri
age was evolved lrom the doctrine of
original sin, as these early writers and
teachers denounced women as the enemies
of men the cause of all their unhappiness,
and the blighting curte. of the world.
By the act of Eve, in eating the forbidden
fruit, all mankind was doomed to misery
and all the evils that br.-set them and make
ol life a pilgrimage of -woe and all women
are like uuto her tb e tempters, deceivers
and destroyers of men.. The story is told of
Ingersoll that, when asked how he would
have improved on th plan of creation, he
replied: "I would harve made health catching
instead of disease. But th oarW fathers
of the church, if they conld have had the
universe just suited to their minds, would
have had a world, without women.
But, as by design of Providence, women
had been created as companions and help
meets lor men, and marriage had been or
dained as a divine institution, they could
not put it und'tr the ban as altogether wrong
and sinful, however much they condemned,
despised and rejected it themselves.
But their "belief, as Principal Donaldson
says in a lute ContemDorarj Meview, had a
deteriorating effect on posterity, led to the
survival of the unfittest, and may account
for the wi ckedness and hardness of heart
manifested in the succeeding centuries of
cruelty -ind persecution.
IN JiAEMONT WITH THE PEESENT.
"Wha.t appeals most strongly to the student
of thiB' subject is that the thing which was
held :nd taught as the ideal life in religion
thr,t most in consonance with the holiness
of heaven centuries ago and is still held to
be 'he most desirable manner of life for the
chu-gy, and is chosen by many women, and
ei iforced upon many others, because there
f -.a nnt annnnli man fn r nnn I,.. !..........
an article of doctrine and belief, in a grow
ing school of philosophy, as the only way of
overcoming the, evil and misery of this
sadly wicked world.
Judged by the articles of her faith and the
institutions of her church, and also, strange
to say, by the pessimistic philosophy of the
radical and unorthodox Schopenhauer, Miss
Kate Drexel, who has so recently abjured
marriage and taken upon herself the vows
of celibacy, has chosen a life ol asceticism
that will" best insure here a rich reward
in heaven and best serve the wel
fare of the world at large. Ortho
dox religion and the philosophy oi the
High Priest of Pessimism are therefore one
and united on this point of devoting a life
to celibacy rather than to marriage. More
over the world gives to her an interest, a
palm beyond the common, in that she chose
a single life instead of bestowing her hand
and millions in marriage iu everyday style,
as have done her sisters. Her self-sacrifice
and renunciation are manifest unto all, and
the result on earth will be the same, wheth
er at the call of religion or the philosophy
of pessimism.
THE ECONOMITE SOCIETY.
Of how this system of Schopenhauer's
would work the Economy Community, with
its rejection of marriage and its ascetic
rules and regulations, furnishes an exanmle
just at our doors. Whether as a religious
doctrine most acceptable to heaven, or a
scheme of philosophy ardently promul
gated by the apostle of pessimism, it seems,
in the little socialist villaee within our
borders, to have worked in the interests of
honesty, morality and goodcitizgnship. Its
members have won golden opinions as ,to
truth, uprightness, and all that goes to high
character, as measured by the
standard of the gospel. They have" greatly
prospered in business, and with their
amazing progress in material wealth,
poverty has not been associated. Perhaps a
study of this staid and notable town might
give answer to the problem of Henrv
George as to why it is that poverty is al
ways in close company with progress, and
why the rich grow' richer and the poor
poorer with the advance of wealth and
production, which should result in benefit
to all. It is hardly to be thought that bis
solution of the riddle of the Sphinx of Pate
the abolition of all taxes save on land
would give answer or furnish proof as to
the canse of the great prosperity of
Economy.
The ardent and .sincere Prohibitionists
fondly imagine that the abolition of all
stimulants and the total abstinence from all
spirituous liquors will result in eradicating
the evils of poverty and most of the misery
of the world, but to their assertions the
morality and uprightness of the citizens of
Economy lurnish as little iu the way of tes
timony to truth as they do to the ideas and
doctrines of Henry George. The making of
wine and other liquors is one of the indus
tries of the community, and the drinking of
them as a beverage is their everday habit,
and yet where could be found a more moral,
upright, religious and prosperous body of
citizens than are the people of Economy?
THEOEIES THAT WILL FIT.
Those who have unfortunately found mar
riage a failure will probably ascribe the
prosperity and harmony, the peace and
calm content, tne quiet, orderly conduct ot
life that distinguish the 'Economites. to
the abolition of marriage, while those who
find their ideals in communism and co
operation will very likely set it down as due
to the fact that they live up to the views of
I the chief priests and advocates of socialism,
rather than their agreement with Hum
boldt when he says: "I consider marriage
a sin and becoming a father a crime."
With all the present discussion of the
subject of marriage and divorce by such
able thinkers of differing views as Glad
stone, Bishop Potter, Cardinal Gibbons,
Justice Bradly on the man's side, and Mrs.
Livermore, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Ame
lia Barr, Jennie June and other noted
women on the woman's, and the diverse
views of the church, the State, philosophy
and science put together, it is likely the
question will be deeply considered, widely
discussed and carefully analyzed, and that
much knowledge concerning the subject
will be difiused. As a result, the laws of
marriage and divorce, aa now existing, will
be revised and reformed. That such is sore
ly needed will hardly be denied by even the
most conservative.
IT -WTLIi 1TOT ATAIL.
But while celibacy may still be extolled
as the most high and holy state by the
church, and women, may still shroud them
selves in cloisters, and men find work to
their minds and solace for their souls in
monasteries, and women and men in society
alike will live single lives from motives
more selfish, or through coercion of untoward
fate, it is much to be doubted if any, save the
very few, will devote themselves to a lite of
asceticism through a study of, or faith in,
Schopenhauer's specfic for the miseries ot
life. It will take another round of evolu
tion, or something more convincing than
the dictum of the saints of old, or the de
crees of Canonical Councils, or the teachings
of the philosophy of pessimism to incline
the hearts and souls ot men anu women to
give up the sweets of love, and re
sign the jovs of marriase. With Ad
dison they will still cherish the belief that
"A happy marriage hasinitall thepleasures
of friendship, all the enjoyments of sense
and reason, and indeed all the sweets and
blessings of this life." Marrying and
giving in marriage will still go on, though
Schopenhauer has devoted six volumes to
proving that love is an illusion; that love
matches are mostly unhappy; that marriage
tends to a perpetuation of the sorrows and
miseries of the world.
THE OUTLOOK IS CONFUSING.
Things are awfully confused for ordinary
people, and indeed" for all men, when the
testimony of the Scriptures, the authority of
the fathers of the church, the teachings of
unorthodox philosophy, and the verdict of
German and other metaphysicians are all
enlisted in favor of celibacy and against
marriage.
But marriage is a decree of nature. Shall
such law prevail? is answered in the canon
of the sixteenth century, which made mar
riage a sacrament That there must be some
inner law that makes celibacy a virtue is
shown by the fact that men and women, re
gardless of fortune, enter the ranks of single
life, with enthusiasm and devotion. The
everlasting question then comes up whether
single life or marriage best answers to the
needs of the race and the welfare of man
kind. The world moves and the devices
and desires of mankind move with it. To
marry or not to marry, is a problem for each
and every one for himself. The interest of
men and women is not as to posterity, but
in the promises ot the present. Schtpen
hauer's ideas are not for this day and gen
eration. Bessie Beahble.

rEFBCTJLI, TKLEOBJLM TO TUB DISPATCH.
New Toek, January 18. At an infor
mal meeting of railroad men in the employ
of the Philadelphia and Beading Bailroad
Company, held in Beading, the recent
"whisker" order of Superintendent Ban
zano was severely criticised and ridiculed.
It was pointed out that Austin Corbiu,
President of the railroad company has
whiskers; that Mr. Keim, President of the
Beading Coal and Iron Company, has plen
ty of hair on his face; that Mr. McLeod,
vice President and General Manager of the
railroad company, wears a fierce, black
mustache; that General Superintendent
Sweigard has a beard; that Superin
tendent B. B. Cable has a full and
flowing gray beard; that George E. Baer,
one of the board of managers and Mr. Cor
bin's right hand man, wears a beard and
mustache; in fact every leading official of
both corporations has hair on his face.
Meanwhile the barbers -of Beading have
issued circulars that in view of the recent
whisker order and the dull coal trade along
the Philadelphia and Beading lines, the
price for shaving has been fixed at 10 cents,
or "13 shave tickets for $1," cash in ad

Beookxtn, N. Y., January 18. Mr.
Meyer Edelmuth is a wealthy Brooklyn
tailor, who lives with his wife and four
children in a fine house at 206 Union street.
He came from Germany 28 years ago, leav
ing a sweetheart behind him. As soon as
he had made a good start in business he
sent for her, and their marriage took place
in this city, nearly 23 years ago. Mr. Edel
muth, however, has just become the de
fendant in a suit for absolute divorce, the
plaintiff being a fine looking Bussian, who
calls herself Mrs. Judasa Chaimoff. She
asserts that in March, 1869, she was married
in the town of Minst, in Bussia, to Motte
Chaimoff, a young Bussian, who abandoned
her in a few months and fled to America.
Five years ago she rame here to look for her
runaway husband, and she alleges she has
at last discovered him in the person of Mr.
Meyer Edelmuth, the Brooklyn clothier.
Mr. Edelmuth repudiates the alleged re
lationship, and says that the divorce pro
ceedings are a scheme to blackmail him.
Mrs. Chaimoff says that the proof of their
marriage will be forthcoming.
A Prosperous Corporation
Habtfobd, January 18. The general
prosperity of the country is strikingly evi
denced by the growth in market values of
real estate owned by insurance companies,
always very conservatively estimated. For
one example this cause has increased the
assets of the Travelers, of Hartford, to $11,
28,000; its surplus to $2,365,000. The fact
that money has been easier is also shown by
the heavy increase in new life insurance.
The company above reported $8,600,000 in
1889.

CORBESFONDENCE Or TBS DISPATCH
Lee's Febbt, Abiz., Christmas Day,
18S9. The exploring expedition under
Chief Engineer Stanton, which left Denver
November 25 to complete the exploration
of the canons of the Colorado river, and
survey a railroad line down that river to the
Gulf of California, reached this place at the
mouth of Pariah creek on the evening of
December 23. Everything has been most
prosperous with the expedition so far, and
everyone was made happy by finding num
erous letters and papers at the Lee's Ferry
postoffice from their friends at home. We
ar6 now enjoying a Christmas rest before
resuming our trip down the river.
On arriving at GreenBiver station.'by the
Denver and Bio Grande railway, we loaded
our three boats upon wagons, and, with our
stores and five teams, started overland for
the mouth of Crescent creek, on the Colo
rado river, about 50 miles below the junc
tion of the Grand and the Green, and four
miles above Dandy Crossing. The distance
by wagon is 120 miles, the most of the way
across a barren sand desert, with roads, as
they describe them out here, "four spokes
deep;" that is, the sand is so soft that the
ends of four spokes of every wheel are buried
out of sight all the time.
We were nine davs on the road. and. with
heavy wheeling, poor teams and lazy team
sters and a drizzling ram nearljr all the
time, it was anything but an enjoyable part
of our journey. The only bright spot in it
was the little Mormon settlement of Graves'
Valley, on the Dirty Devil river, about 35
miles from its mouth, where there are some
12 or 15 Mormon families, seemingly pros
perous and happy, upon 1,000 to 1,600 acres
of rich, tillable land. Here we replenished
our supplies with beef, mutton, onions, etc.,
and were treated most kindlvbv the settlers.
We reached Colorado river well tired out,
on Friday, December 6. The lastSO miles
was down the Canon -of Crescent creek,
which, as it approaches the river becomes
very narrow and is some 1,500 to 2,000 feet
deep. The road is for some distance along
the bed of the creek, the walls rising up
from the very stream.
'fighting high -watee.
There had been much rain and we were
fearful of some danger, but we came through
with onr boats and supplies in safety. The
next day, however, as the teamsters were
going back with their empty wagons, they
were caught in the narrowest part of the
canon by a rush ot waters, and all swept
down together for some 600 or 800 yards,
and tumbled into one mass of wagons,
horses, harness and men. The men escaped
with only bruises and a very cold bath, but
before they could cut the harness and re
lease the animals, two of their horses were :
drowned.
Unusual floods were experienced all over
thissection at the same time. Here on
Pariah oreek, on the same day as the acci
dent to our teams, a sheep herder was caught
Dy tne storm on the lowlands and had some
1,000 to 1.600 sheep drowned before he could
drive them to the hills.
We remained in camp at Crescent creek
three days, rigging our boats, packing the
provisions in rubber bags and preparing for
the river journey. On the morning of De
cember 10 we set sail in three of the best
equipped and stanchest boats that ever at
tempted to run the Colorado canons. Each
boat was loaded, including the four men,
withabout 3,000 pounds, and yet the v floated
as lightly and were handled as easily as
boats of half their weight, as they are pro
vided with so many airtight compartments
to secure safety in the rough waters of the
rapids. The sail through Glen Canon from
Dandy Crossing to Lee's ferry, a distance of
150 miles, was one continued pleasure ride,
with dancing waves and swift currents, car
rying us through beautiful glens and by
grass covered plats, and between grand tow
ering cliffs and massive battlements of old
red sandstone, fr6m 1,000 to 3,000 feet high.
beauties of glen canon.
About 100 miles of Glen Canon, at its
lower end, comes nearer being a true canon
than any of the canons of the Colorado
river; that is, a deep, clear trench cut
through the solid rock, with almost perpen
dicular walls on either side, and in some
places for short distances the gorge is very
narrow 250 to 300 feet and the jiver fills
it from wall to wall, but in far the greater
part it is lrom l,8UU to 3,000 feet wide, and
the river flows from side to side, leaving
beautilul glens, broad meadows and long
winding flats covered with grass, bushes,
willows and oaks, and many of them occu
pied with large numbers ot Arizona auail.
Even at this season of the year, though all
the leaves are off the willows and oaks,
these flats and glens abound in wild flowers
in full bloom, and the young, new grass is
from 2 to 3 inches tall.
The railroad line for the greater part of
the way occupies the level land on these
flats, or upon the tables at the foot of the
cliffs, and for only short distances is forced
to make its roadbed in the river under the
perpendicular walls.
On the last day in the canon we experi
enced quite a surprise. For ten miles above
Pariah creek the water is usually like a
lake, with very light current, but last Mon
day the wind was blowing a perfect gale up
stream and rolling up regular sea waves
from 3 to 4 feet high, so that our crews had
hard work pulling down stream, and our
boats were tossed about from side to side bv
the wind asit was driven back, first by one
and then by the other wall ot the canon.
A BOAT IN A TVHIBL-SVIND.
In one instance, one of the boats was
caught almost in a whirlwind and turned
several times around betore the steersman
could get control ot it. Everyone, how
ever, was inspired by the anticipation of
mail from home, and with three hours' hard
polling we reached Lee's Ferry and went in
camp ior jnristmas.
During our two weeks iu Glen Canon,
Mr. Kims completed his series of photo
graphs and Mr. Hislop, our assistant engi
neer, completed the railroad survey
to this point, which had been
left last Bummer 30 miles above here.
We found many more mineis at work on the
placer mines and many prospectors allalong
the river. The advertisement this section
received by our expedition of last summer
seems to have brought many fortune seekers
to this canon, ana we found several parties
of capitalists examining the placers with a
view of investing. We also noticed several
new plants of machinery brought in this fall
for working the mines.
AN EXPLOBEB OF '69.
At one of the mines we met and had a
long talk with old Jack Sumner, who was
Major Powell's right hand man in his jour
ney through the Grand Canon in 1869, and
to whom, perhaps more than any other man,
the success of that expedition was due.
When we told Sumner we were going to
look for a railroad line through the Grand
Canon he said: "You will find it, and a
good one, too." We gave him the greatest
want of his life a ping of chewing tobacco
for he was entirely out Like the old war
horse, after examining our boats end talking
of the trip, Jack, though his hair is as white
as snow, was all excitement and very anx
ious to accompany us down through the
Grand Canon.
If the weather we have been having is a
sample of the usual winter weather on the
Colorado river, the railroad when built will
be the favorite wjnter route to the Pacific.
It has been almost continuous sunshine
every day, with a few gentle showers of rain.
The thermometer has never registered lower
than 32 at 6 o'clook in the morning, and at
noon each day has ranged from 50 to 65 in
the shade.
THE CLIFF irVVELLEBS.
At almost every camp we have picked
many varieties of wild flowers in full bloom.
The various members of the party, especially
those from the far East, have been very dili
gent in searching for and examining the nu-1
merous remains of Cliff Dwellers' houses and
forts found up almost every side of the
canon coming into the river, and some fine
specimens of pottery have been found, though
none in perfect condition.
Our Christmas dinner came near finishing
the whole party. To show our sympathiz

THE FEOFLE THET MEET.
We had the pleasure of having dine with
us Mr. Al Huntington, an old Californian
'49er, and Mr. Warren M. Johnson and his
"wive" (each reader may make that last
word as much plural as his individual fancy
shall dictate,) but our cook insisted in
drawing the line at the "wive" and cutting
of the children. Just here let me say that
nowhere can you find a more kindly and
perfect eentleman than Mr. Warren M.
Johnson, the Postmaster at Lee's Ferry; a
devout Mormon, and a man who is honestly
sincere and sincerely honest, and Mrs. John
son a most kindly and coQrteous lady. It
has been my fortune to meet some of the
most perfect gentlemen and kindest-hearted
men and women among the Mormons of
Northern Arizona and Southern Utah, and
especially is our whole Darty indebted to
the many kindnesses of Bishop L. C. Mari
ger, of Kanab.
LOST IN MABBLE CANON.
Lee's Ferry seems to have been destined
for most of our pleasures. We spent last
uourtnoi juiy here, and at that time the
whole party sat around the celebration
table. Just six days later President Frank
M. Brown lost his life in Marble Canon, 40
miles below here. As I sat at the table to
day the sad thoughts of July 10 crept into
my mind and I involuntarily looked down
toward the head of the dark canon, with a
wonder what there might be in store for us
in its unknown depths, and, as I sat gazing,
there arose, as it were, from the very depths
of the canon itself, the most wonderful and
gorgeous sunset that I have ever witnessed,
even in this lajd of wonder and beauty.
And as it rose in its splendor of scarlet and
crimson fire and hung like a curtain over
the turrets of the Echo Peaks and lit up the
marvelous coloring and intricate terraces of
the Vermilion Cliffs I conld only read in its
beauty and splendor a harbinger of safety
and success. Teamp.
A Swede's Experience With the Croup.
An honest Swede tells his story in plain,
but unmistakable language for the benefit
of the public: One of my children took a
severe cold and got the croup. I gave her a
teaspoonful of Chamberlain's cough rem
edy, and in five minutes later I gave her one
more. By this time she had to cough up
the gathering in her throat Then she went
to sleep, and slept good ior 15 minutes.
Then she got up and vomited; then she went
back to bed, and slept good for the remainder
of the night She got the croup the second
night, and I gave the same remedy with the
same good results. I write this because I
thought there might be some one in tho
same need and not know the true merits of
this wonderful medicine.

Where Do All the Plnnos Go.
This question we are asked almost every
day. Our neighbors cannot understand
how it is that we send out so many pianos;'
it is a constant stream coming in and going
out every day. The secret is explained by
our ciuo or co-operaiive system our pianos
are sold before we get them. The demand
is so great that we are compelled to have
them shipped in large quantities to keep up
with our orders. A few weeks ago we con
tracted vwith the Everett Piano Co. to sup
ply a club of 350 with pianos. We got the
instruments so cheap, and they are such
bargains, that onr club members cannot wait
on the weekly drawings, but are taking the
pianos home and payinfor them. Some
all casb,some ou a large cash payment down
and the balance on short time, others are
paying $1 per week and waiting on the
drawings. They will not have long to wait,
as we have already delivered almost one
third of the whole number contracted for.
This week we deliver a fine carved rosewood
case Cabinet Grand Everett Piano, to mem
ber No. 29, on payment of $1 per week.
Now, if you want a piano, don't miss this
opportunity. We can arrange payments to
suit you, and have a few numbers not yet
taken, so call at once or send for circular to

Progress of the Popular Concert
Idea in the Gas City. '
EXPERIENCE IH ST. PETERSBURG.
Rubinstein's Efforts to Fat His Pet Flan
Into Execution.
BEKEFIT TO THE WORKING FEOPLE
The popular concert idea is working
bravely. From all sides come expressions
in hearty sympathy with the movement
agitated bv The Dispatch. The Exposi
tion management has taken hold of the
matter in business-like earnest, and Man
ager Johnston was sent to New York a day
or two ago to make arrangements for engag
ing some first-class band or orchestra, or
both.
It may be interesting in this connection to
note the accomplishment of similar aims so
remote and in so different a city as StPeters
burg and by no less a personage than Anton
Bubinstein. This is how Mr. McArthur,
the great musician's secretary, iu a letter to
the American Musician, speaks of the move
ment inaugurated last October.
Shortly after this concert Bubinstein's pet
idea was accomplished in the first of the Popu
lar Bymphonr Concerts, given under the emi
nent pianist's own direction. Bubinstein's aim
in these was concerts of classical music at pop
ular prices. In order that the general public,
and especially the music students, should have
an opportunity of becoming acquainted with
the best music literature. Of course, the great
difficulty was where these concerts conld be
held. For, as in other towns. St Petersburg
has to pay dearly Ior halls which for the
most part stand empty, owing to the high
prices asked for themr The proprietor of the
circus, however, offered at moderate terms bis
hall, and Bubinstein at once held a rehearsal to
test the acoustic powers, for the orchestra had
to be placed in the half of the arena, no other
space being forthcoming. The scheme worked,
and the concerts are now permanently arranged
for every Sundav afternoon during the
musical season. Bubinstein cannot be too
warmly thanked for this splendid idea
of his so gallantly accomplished.
Iho circus, an enormous building, is
rilled with thousands of enthusiastic music
lovers at each concert in fact there is never a
place to be had late in the week, all being en
gaged beforehand. Iwo of the upper tiers are
filled to overflowing at 10 cents a head, while
the best chairs in the house, luxuriously up
bolstered in red velvet, don't cost halt a dollar.
In fact Rubinstein has added to the material
and artistic enjoyment of thousands
in St Petersburg by this nappy
idea, and the younc and splendid
orchestra of old conservatory students, in
playing at reasonable prices, so tar as St. Pe
tersburg is concerned, makes Itself thereby
literally a national benefactor. The great body
oi tne woraing puouc, exciuuea irom mosr
concerts for want of funds and time on week
days, is amused and kept from socialism, the
youths are instructed, and yonnp artists mate
rially benefited by this chance offered to them
of exhibiting their powers before an enthusi
astic and not over critical audience.

Referring to the appearance of the Boston

this unequivocal praise: "Last evening's per
formance once more established the fact that
the band, under Mr. Arthur Nikisch's direc
tion, is far and away the most admirably bal
anced and best disciplined organization now In
existence on this side of the Atlantic. In the
interpretation of dramatic music, perhaps.more
vivid effects have now and tben been attained
at the expense, often, of symmetry and finish,
but as regards volume and richness of tone,
delicacy of execution, and absolute precision,
no work that has been done for years by other
orchestras can be cited as having even ap
proached its happiest efforts."

A well-known gentleman of Sharpsburg, re
siding on Eleventh street, and employed at tho
extensive steel works of Messrs. Spang, Chai

an eventful experience. His catarrh caused a
stuffed-up feeling about his nose and eyes.
The catarrhal secretion that dropped from his
head into his throat was so tenacious and hard
to raise that in the morning it would often gag
him and cause him to feel sick at bis stomach.
His hearing became dull, he took cold very
easily, 'had no appetite in the morning, and aa
his food did not digest properly, gas formed in
bis stomach, causing pain. He often felt dray
and lost flesh. He tried various treatments,
but without success. He also used local treat
ments, but bis disease gradually grew worse.
In this condition he began treatment with tha
physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Insti

their constitutional medicines, which are
