It ia entirely too late to dilate upon the
pleasures of the past season, and too early
to anticipate the coming one. "We are sim
ply '"betwixt and between' but numerous
little pleasure excursions testify to the fact
that those who remain at home during the
summer months are enjoying themselves in
various ways. Besides the yachting parties
end straw parties, several charming little
luncheons and dinners have been given re
cently by the home folk to the home folk.
And one of them ast week was especially
noticeable, not alone for the elegance of the
menu and the enjoyment of the guests, hut
for the daintiness of the service which in
cluded the latest wrinkle in that line ex
quisite little damask doylies with which to
hold the roasting ears that formed a part of
the dinner and which fill a long felt want
the doylies I mean, though in many in
stances that remark might apply to both
doylies and roasting ears.
.No more soiled fingers from eating the
very popular though very unromantic far
of corn! The tiny doylie, about the size of
the finger bowl doylie, will prevent all
such and really with the assistance of said
doylie the act of eating corn is elevated
almost to a plane of dignity almost I said
but not quite. It is impossible to conceive
how it will ever become really dignified
when visions of big people and little ears of
corn and big ears of corn and little people
in the very hottest of the fray float belore
the eye; but dignified or not it is a pastime
hugely enjoyed just at the present season
and made much more enjoyable by the use
of pretty little embroidered napkins.

What has become of the Hartranft monu
ment fundi A number of organizations
throughout the State have not yet sent in their
subscriptions, and yet tbey were all to be In by
me ist oi January tail.
BevebaXi of the companies of the Fourteenth
Regiment are still waiting for their commuta
tions for rifle practice for last year. All tbe
money was sent out from Harrisburg several
months ago, hut a portion is still in the hands
of certain officers.
Out of about 70 American steamships be
longing to lines running out of New York, 80
have recently been pronounced suitable for
use as commerce destroyers in war time, nnd
most of the others could be turned into trans-"
ports at snort notice.
The commission of Major Robert H. Mc
Caskey, of tbe Tenth Regiment, expired July
SO, and an election will shortly be ordered to
fill tbe vacancy. Major McCaskey will be a
candidate for re-election, but some opposition
bas been generated against him.
The Cleveland Grays, tbe famous military
organization of Cleveland. O., is now in camp
at Waldemer Park, near Lake Chautauqua.
The company is one of the crack organizations
of tbe country, and their camp is said to be a
model one In every way. A nnmber of Pltts
bnrcers wbo visited tbe camp during tbe past
week expressed themselves of tbe opinion that
the Grays were very pretty soldiers, but appar
ently ot little use for military service.
The informal Investigation by General
Snowden of the alleged disorder ot the
Thirteenth Regiment at Reading while return
ing from Mt. Gretna, resulted in the discoverv
that tbe accounts were grossly exaggerated,
and that the escapade was simply a bit of mis
chief which resulted in a row and the presence
of the police. Colonel Riddle, of the regiment,
helped materially In the investigation, and
thus a possible court martial was avoided.
There is a probability that a pretty lively
court-martial will occur in this city shortly on
charges that have been preferred by one officer
against another in tbe same organization. The
cause of tbe trouble was a difference of opinion
between tbe two while doing guard duty at tbe
last camp, and while tbe affair was deeded of
rather a tame character at the time, tbe charges
above mentioned were ultimately preferred.
It has been a number of years since a general
court was held in this end ot the State, and
even if the charges referred to scarcely war
ranted trial considerable instrnction might be
brought out by such a session. That the court
will be ordered, however, is scarcely probable,
as Second Brigade Headquarters seem to bave
considerable dread of making any moves of tbe
kind, since several papers of a similar charac
ter have been pigeon-holed during the past
year or two.
Ladies who have not yet gone to the

Was John Brown Not Wbat We Bellevef
A wonderful tale is told by Comrade B.
F. Vanhorn, of Post 167, which if true will
astonnd the whole of the United States.
His story in brief is this: The famons John
Brown, whose "soul is still marching on,"
was never favorable to the abolition of
slavery. He stole slaves and sold them in
North and South Carolina. The proceeds he
desired to use for getting immigrants at
Castle Garden to go out to Kansas and
vole as he told them. His object was to
prevent the State irom becoming a slave
State. He desired that slavery should re
main in the States in which it already was
permitted, but should spread no further.
Comrade Vanhorn, as evidence of the truth
of this, says that he was associated with the
famous man. He says that Brown paid him
a good salary for driving tho carriage in
which the slaves were spirited away from
their masters' plantations. Vanhorn says
also that he and John Brown were members
of the Knights of the Golden Circle. All
old soldiers have reason to remember this'
diabolical and treacherous assistant of the
secessionists.
There are probably lew who will believe
the story of Comrade Vanhorn, but he tells
it earnestly, and his comrades claim for him
the virtue of veracity.
A Happy Bennton at California,

the people copld not get into the place.
They came in buggies, wagons and boats
and packed the house and more. Among
the other Pittsburgers who made addresses
was S. N. Trent, whose effort was highly
praised. The reunion was continued through
Friday and Saturday and the old boys never
had a more enjoyable time.
Post 3'a Gift to Comrade W. W. Heolt.
Post 3 at its meeting last Monday even
ing showed its appreciation of the noble
work of Comrade W. W. Scott. For two
years Comrade Scott has been tbe Chairman
and Treasurer of the Entertainment Com
mittee, and to his personal efforts is due in
a large measure the success of the preseuta
tion of the "Drummer Boy." So in recog
nition of these valued services the post bad
prepared a beautiful silver set of 30 pieces
appropriately engraved. It is a beauty.
Major B. E. Stewart presented tbe testimo
nial on behalf of the post. Comrade Scott
was completely surprised. Though much
overcome, he responded to the presentation
speech in a neat and heart-felt manner. To
have one's efforts appreciated is delightful.
Comrade Scott will ever hare a beautiful
reminder of his comrades' esteem and appre
ciation. All Alone the Line.

mediocrity.
The Borgia galleries have been thrown open

witb tbe University ot Syracuse has been en

are fine examples of rare copperplates and
wood engravings by Durer, etchings by Rem
brandt, and other celebrated masters of tbe
graver.
Great artists like Presidents of tbe United
States often spring from lowly origin. Grotto
was a shepherd boy: Rafael, a potter's son; Jan
Steen, a publican's first born; Salvator Rosa, a
peasant lad. Of modern painters, may be men
tioned Munkaczy, who started In life as a
joiner; Defreeger, who plowed his father's
fields; Mauer, a cabin boy aboard a merchant
vessel, and Anton von Werner, successively a
house painter, scene painter, and President of
the Academy of the Fine Arts in Berlin.
There is a serious side to the recent Intro
duction of garments to veil the statuary of the
Detroit Art Museum. May not tbe example be
followed by other cities and collections of
statuary elsewhere turned Into aggregations of
tailors' dummies? Is the artist to stand quietly
by while bigotry and Ignorance are placing tbe
sacred halls dedicated to the choicest works of
the artist's creative puwer on a level with the
gin mill and tbe dance hall! It is only the low
mind that Invests the Venus de Medici In its
proper surrounding witb the conditions under
which Its pose implies impropriety.aud the art

GUSHES AT
Artesian Well round. That Throw
Vw
and m Half Foot Stream.
Chambeblaxs-, 8. D., August T. Tha
recent discovery of a natural artesian well
or geyser on American Island, is causing
considerable talk in this portion of tha
new State. American Island has, until re
eently, belonged to the Sioux Indians, and
for this reason the citizens ot Chamberlain
have never had an opportunity to make a
thorough examination of the springs, which
have for many years been known to exist
there. Several days ago some of the citi
zens began experimenting, and the result of
their labors has been as mnch of a surprise
to them as to the people in this section of
the Northwest. There are two of tha
springs, located but a few hundred feet
apart, one of them being a large one
and the other somewhat smaller.
After several days labor the workmen suc
ceeded in sinking a galvanized iron tube,
2J4 feet in diameter, into the center of tba
larger well, and it was fonnd necessary to
put a weight of several tons on top of tho
tube to prevent it from being blow out.
Alter repeated efforts the tube was forced
nearly twenty feet into the earth directly
over the big sponter, when a rock bottom
was reached, and the mea were unable to
sink the tube any further. After iastening
it down a long iron rod with rope attached
was sunk into the center of the well, but it
failed to touch the bottom. This points
plainly to the fact that the water bursts
through a fissure in the solid rock 20 ieet
below tbe surface ot the island.
Many competent engineers who have care
fully examined the wells give it as their
opinion that the geysers receive their sup
pliesof water directly from the great artesian
basin which underlies the Dakotas. The
larger well, or spring, is now throwing a
2 foot stream of water fully 40 feet above
thelevel of the Missouri river. The same ex
periments weremadeon the smaller well and
the results have been as successful as with
the larger one. Pipes have been connected
with the smaller well and the water is car
ried to a spot a short distance away beneath
the trees, where bathtubs have been placed
in position, and visitors to the island are in
vited to- take a bath iree of charge. Tne
water from both wells has been analvzed
and found to contain iron and a nnmber of
other ingredients that make itvery valuable
lor medicinal purposes. The water is quita
warm, having a temperature of about 80.
A GHASTLY SENTITrEL
A Railroad Trasedv Without n Parallel la
tbe History of the Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, August 9. "In heav
en's name look at that."
These words spoken in a horror-stricken
tone arrested the progress of a score of pas
sengers on the limited mail, one of the fast
est trains on the Pennsylvania Railroad, ar
riving in Broad street station at 425 yester
day morning.as they disembarked and were
making their exit through the gates. One
glance backward showed them that a horri
ble tragedy had been enacted within a few
minutes of their entrance to the depot, and
that the hissing engine that had drawn them
at lightning speed over tbe rails had dashed
the life out oi a human body. The speaker
was the engineer of the train, and as ha
made the discovery that cansed the excla
mation of horror to issue involuntarily
from his lips he stood in the center of tha
track and pointed to tbe off side of the en
gine, where a ghastly figure half lay, half
sat npon the box over the cylinder. Ona
glance at the blood-stained face and limp
body showed that tbe man was dead.
After an investigation, that was joined in
by the sleepy passeneers, it was found that
the dead man was Loring Stone, a brake
man, who resided at 2506 Cedar street,
Frankford. The manner in which he had
met his death and W3s carried several miles
unknown to tbe engineer or fireman is with
out parallel. The speed of the train is not
reduced to any extent until after the Fifty
second street station is passed, and it is
thought that Loring was strnck between
that point and Overbrook while full speed
was being maintained. The man's clothing
became attached to the cylinder pipes and
the train dashed on with its ghastly freight.
THE RECEIPTS STOLEN.
dome Person Carried Away Cash at tha
Patriarchs' Entertainment.
Chicago, August 9. An evening paper
says: A very large proportion of the gate
receipts at the Lake Front on Wednesday
night was stolen by some one who has not
yet been captured. The officers of tha
Patriarchs profess not to know who the cul
prit is. They talk in a vague way of tha
ticket sellers being responsible, buf they
cannot name the men whom they entrusted
with this important work. They only know
that all the cash turned in as tbe proceeds
of admission from at least 80,000 people was
about $3,000.
Probably some of the apparent dis
crepancy between the size of the crowds and
the size of the receipts is due to the fact
that no precautions were taken to prevent
persons lrom entering at other points than
by the gates. It is estimated that 5,000 en
tered through holes cnt in the wire fence.
Then there were ticket scalpers holding
coupon admission tickets, which had been
sold with railroad tickets, and which were
bought from persons who did not desire to
attend the Lake Front exercises. Some 18,
000 of these coupons were presented at
the gates Wednesday night.
EATDED THE SAX00NS.
The Stock ofOrlslnnl Pacenge Houses
la
Dee Jlolnen Taken.
Des Moines, August 9. A horde of
constables swooped down upon the original
packifge houses of Des Moines to-day and
seized the stock of each of tbem. This action
is the resnlt of tbe passage of the Wilson
bill, which the President made operative by
his siguature yesterday.
The dealers had anticipated a movement
of this kind, and their places were found
encumbered by very light stocks. A great
deal of litigation will grow out of these
seizures, as the best lawyers contend
that the Iowa law bearing upon importa
tions was set aside by the Federal Court's
decision in the origiml package case.
