CINCINNATI, THE
QUEEN OF THE WEST
OBSERVATIONS OF INTEREST IN
OHIO METROPOLIS.
Somo of the Characteristics Noted by
a Delegate to the International
Baptist Young People's Conven
tion Recently in Session in That
City.
Written for The Tribune.
This Is not a synopsis of Instruction
gained at the twelve sessions of the
great gathering at Cincinnati week
before last, but Intended simply to
give glimpses of the picturesque Jour
ney and to touch on the scenic grand
eur of the sunroundlngs of the beau
tiful city so fitly chosen for this year's
rendezvous.
Leaving Scranton, the familiar spec
tacle of the Lackawanna valley broad
ening out Into the Wyoming Is suc
ceeded by the broader plains below,
and a short pause at that town so
quiet and free fiom ostentation, yet so
lmpottant ftom a government point of
view No need of describing the state
capital to loyal Keystone citizens, es
pecially as the train Is waiting.
This Is the fast express, the through
train to Cincinnati, and we feel now
that our long Journey has begun In
earnest. Dashing along the banks of
the "blue Juniata" as the stars begin
to coino out, peaks of the Blue Ridge
seem to spring up, glow In height,
then fade from view as we thunder
on Into deeper gorges and darker val
leys, the landscape growing ever more
rugged and weird until In the very
heart of the Alleghantes at midnight
we find by the slackening of speed we
are going around the dangeious but
never-to-be-forgotten Horseshoe Curve
near Altoona. How the purple cliffs
tower above on either side, how the
abyss yawns below as the Iron monster
creeps trembling along Its winding
path, and our hearts seem to beat with
Its throbbing. (Returning In daylight
this part of the Journey seemed less
mystical, though not less beautiful.)
TYPE OF CEASELESS ACTIVITY.
This point of interest passed, we
sink to rest until at 3 o'clock the lights
of the great city of Plttsbuig, to
gether with the blazing of Its never
lestlng Iron furnaces, dazzle our eyes.
What a tjpe of ceaseless activity 1b
this gicat belching centra of the iron
trade' I feel a new respect for Andrew
Carnegie, tho lion King, and philan
tluoplst, for if any one man can lav
claim to any one city by work done In
and for It, he can say, "The 'Smoky
Clt Is Mine"
Again we sink to slumber, to open
our eyes In the gtay dawn to a new
order of scenery, flat and monotonous
In comparison, for one has a foretaste
of the Western prairies In the plains
of Ohio. Presently we reach the
Mound region where diminutive round
ed hills, like biscuits compared with
the native peaks, rise In symmetrical
lows
Suddenly oil derricks begin to shoot
from the giound In every dliectlon.
and for foity miles or more they are
continually In sight, while the air be
comes stilling In Its "kerosenj" flavor.
Without a grain of local prejudice we
decide that Ohio's handicap does not
compare w 1th Pennsylvania's diversi
fied scenery, and cease to loo out of
the window.
IN CINCINNATI.
On reaching Cincinnati, we find her
to be, In spite of the dreary level round
about her, a regal city sitting not on
"seven hills," but on nearly seven
times seven, Beautiful suburbs crown
almost perpendicular hills all around
the amphitheater that serves for the
business portion of the city, from
whose heat and smoke her wealthy
citizens must gladly escape at night to
their homes on the heights,
It was our good fortune to obtain
a boarding place on Mt. Adams, one
of the highest declivities, ascending and
descending dally by a 900-foot Inclined
plane, giving you very much the sen
sation of going up In a balloon as you
saw the houses dropping below, and
your hair stood on end In the welcome
breeze (of course not at all In fear).
The ascent of this plane Is considered
an achievement In electrical engineer
ing. Ai rived at the foot of an almost
perpendicular track, the car Is run
upon an inclosed platform or sort of
cage, which begins to move rapidly
upward, keeping the car In a horizon
tal position by means of a slanting
framework beneath. Iron wheels ond
pulleys aro seen to move on the side-
I track far below, while three Iron ca
des support me car, and trie pro
pelling agency comes from the motor
house at the top of the hill, which wa
presently slide through Into beautiful
Eden park, with Its graceful shrub
bery and winding paths and drives,
past the quaint architecture of Rook
wood Pottery and the classic pllss of
the Art museum and Art bchool, all
monuments to the genius, art and cul
ture of Cincinnati.
Going through the former, all the
Bible passages mentioning the "potter"
nnd his "wheel" and the "clay In his
hnnds" with their comparison to God
and His work, seemed radiant with
meaning after seeing all the processes
by which tho reddish clay of the West
Is transmitted Into those wonderful
luminous, priceless vessels and vases.
We silently watched a stalwart
workman at the fltst process, welding
bits of soft clay Into a compact whole,
then beating and kneading most vig
orously "to get the air out," he ex
plained. "Yes," said a well-known
Scranton doctor, thoughtfully, "that's
the way the Lord has to mould us we
aie no good until tho wind Is taken out
of us." "The ulrs, doctor?" I sug
gested feebly.
We passed on with the clay to the
man who put It on ti brass revolving
stand and began to mould It. How
chldlngly, watchfully, deftly, tcndeiiy,
he handled It, coaxing It upward with
a powerful, yet gentle touch, every
mveep of the hand dlstilbutod Impar
tially 'round It by the swift turning,
and In fifteen minutes the giaceful
curves of the completed Jar stood out
to view. Not being allowed to witness
the decorating, and the beauty of the
finished product being Impossible to
describe, we go on to the Art Museum,
feeling prepared for the must glorious
sights.
Two largo rooms full of all the
famous nnd grand Greek( figures were
there, Juplters, Junos, Apollos, Dianas
and Mlnervas, towering In massive
splendor, but what pleased me most
(pleblan confession) was a rather
modern lltttle gill testing her head on
her guitar, "tiled of playing." Such a
natutal relaxation of n giaceful little
body such dreamy sweetness of ex
pression! In the painting department we went
by rows of the realistic or "Impres
sionist" school, with cows done In old
rose or cerise ambling under purple
trees to stop at a large and poweiful
picture with very little color In It, a
representation of John Husa preaching
to his disciples In a baio, 111-fumlshed
room. Ills white locks fell to his
shoulders, his old face beamed with
godly zeal, his finger was upraised In
his fervor, and the men and women
about him leaned toward him In pas
sionate Interest. You could feel the
very quiet of that room as you gazed
upon the scene, nlmost hearing the
gentle yet Intense old voice.
OTHER FEATURES.
The Music Hall, where we repaired
early Thursday morning, was like all
Cincinnati's great buildings, massive,
complex and artistic. It filled an en
tire block, and had no ies than six
handsome domes and entrances. The
audience-room, containing the largest
pipe-organ on the Western hemi
sphere, seats 0,000, and was taxed to
Its utmost dally.
The Zoological Gardens comprise 07
acres for animal residence. The polar
bears are said to be tho finest speci
mens In the United States, and nre
certainly remarkable for whiteness,
size and fierceness. The latter attilrj
ute was not less marked In one very
large man-eating Royal Bengal tiger,
whose ferocious cry as you looked at
him made the chills run up one's ver
tebrae. The collection of rate birds Is
also unsurpassed on the continent, but
the monkeys, as always, were the
great attraction.
Cincinnati is a remarkably easy city
to find your way about In, consider
ing Its magnificent distances (It is said
ou can ride over twenty miles In it
on a street car). The sectet of this
easy comprehension lies In the fact
that the town has a center, as all well
regulated places should have. That Is
Fountain Square, a raised block of the
city, containing the Tyler-Davidson
fountain, famous as a work of sculp
tuie colossal figures of goddesses and
water nymphs throwing ctystil
streams to an Immense height and
upon each other with seemingly sport
ive intent. Now all cars go to this
squaie In course of their Journey, so,
lost In the city, you can take any cor
you see, and arriving there, be trans
ferred to your destination,
As Is well-known, Cincinnati has
fifteen miles of water fiont on the
Ohio river, and five great btldges
crossing It, one being the great Sus
pension Bridge, next to the largest It.
the world. Taking a short trip on a
steamboat, the muddy Ohio, winding
its way through flat green banks, ap
peared very much less picturesque to
my Pennsylvania ejes than the clear
Susquehanna at Sunbury, though quite
a little broader.
For architecture, Cincinnati Is super
ior to Scranton, and for general smut
tlness commend me also to the former,
where the soft coal smoke arises to
the sky like unto that of Sodom and
Gomorrah. Let us not take the slurs
of detractors on the filth of the conl
region, but refer them farther West
for the real article.

THE WAR IN CHINA.
Its Influence on the Tea Market.
Great Scarcity More Than Probable.
Prlcea Rapidly Advancing Will
China Lose Her Tea Trader4
There has recently been a marked
Increase In tho value of tea, some
grades having advanced 25 per cent,
within three weeks, Vniloua caui.es
have been assigned for the higher
prlcts, one being that a combination
had been formed by the largo Import
ers to take advantage of the war In
China as an excuse to force- prices
up. This as a reason for the advanc
ing market may he dismissed In a very
fevV words. At this tlmo of the year
Importers have little or none of last
season's tea on hand, and ias nn ad
vance on this market Is immediately
offset by a corresponding advance In
China, Importers would lose rather
than gain by a premature rise In
values here. After they have bought
their stocks, however, high markets
are to the advantage of the Importer,
and the present rlso Is probably but
the precursor of a much greater one
In tho fall of this vear, If duo to legltl
lmato conditions nnd In no sense
brought about by a combination or
othet unnatural causes.
Some advances was to bo expected
at this time, ns values of tea were
far below what thny should have been,
forced thoto by the hand to mouth
policy on the pai t of the buvets, adopt
ed ever since tho war tax of 10 cents
per pound was Imposed on tea. In ad
i'Hi to this, pi ices of tea have nat
u ally advanced on account of possi
ble scarcity caused by the distill banco
to the China trade, which Is almost
Inevitable now that a state of war
piactlcally exists In that country.
According to recent Information, the
troubles aro spreading to the south
of China and ate icported to have
i cached the provinces of Hupe and
Hu-nan, In the former of which tho
lmpoitant tea center, Hankow, Is sit
uated. Even before this they have
had their effect on buvets, who must
go from the coast to tho Interior to
make their purchases, and upon tho
native bankers, who advance the
money for that purpose. The latter,
It Is stated, stopped doing business
some time ago. In older to move the
crop It is tho custom for the middle
men w ho buy from the producern, to
go Into the Interior with cash, an!
this In the present unsettled state of
the country Is very hazardous, and
the nctlon of nttlve bankers, who
finance thl3 branch of tiade, is there
fore only natural and to be expected.
Were Eutopean and American tea
houses w llling to sen 1 their own na
tive agents with the latge sums of
money inquired for such operations
the probabilities' would be strongly In
favor of their being murdered and
tobbed or of their taking ndvantage of
the situation and making off with the
funds. It will thus bo sen that the
probabilities are tint very much les3
tea will reach the coast. With a short
age of China supplies, and the known
fact that there Is this season a short
crop In Japan, the only other source
of supply Is ftom the Biltlsh East In
dies (Ceylon and India), whose teas
aie already favorably known In this
market, and are being used in Increas
ing quantities annually. But though
these countties pioduco an enormous
quantity or tea, and it has been fear
ed production has more than over
taken consumption, there Is no largo
stock to draw upon. The teas of Cey
lon and India go mostly to Great Brit
ain, Australia, Russia and Canada, and
a certain quantity comes here, but the
stock in Great Britain Is equal only
to about two months' consumption In
that country, and If the usual supply
of China tea Is not forthcoming all
the countries named must try to sup
ply their deficiency from Ceylon and
India. The price of these teas is al
leady advancing, and must go still
higher when It Is certain that there
will be a shortage of China supplies.
There Is a good deal ot China green
tea used In this countiy, and so far
Cevion nnd India have manufactured
only ot the black variety, but tho
planters of those countries nre now
preparing to make green teas on a
large scale, and one of the unlooked
for results of the Boxer uprising and
tho misrule of tho Chinese government
may bo the loss to China of the bal
ance of the tea trade of which at one
time It had a monopoly.
RAISING THE WRECKED ENGINE
Tomorrow May See It Again on the
Tiacks.
The work of raising the locomotive,
No. 820, fiom the bog Into which it
pitched In tho Creseo wreck, has so
far progressed that it is expected It
will bo gotten back on tho truck to
morrow. By digging away tho mud into which
It sank, and with tho assistance of a
powerful steam derrick, Jack-screws
and blocking, the engine was righted
and Its wheels placed on a temporary
track leading to the main line by a
long Incline. Tomorrow tv-o or thro
big engines will bo hitched to It and
art effort mado to haul It up to the

It will be taken to tho Scranton
