Tour to California via Pennsylvania
Railroad.
In Southern California is foaud the
realization of a dream of the ancients.
Here are the "Golden Apples of the
Hesperides." ripening beneath a sky
more beautiful than that of Rome, and
in a climate more perfect than that of
Athens. Never in the wildest flight of
his imagination did either Homer or
Hesiod ever conceive of a garden, rich
er in verdant beauty, more productive
of luscious fruit, or set amid more pic
turesque and lovely surroundings. Here
the rose entwines the orange, and the
snow-mantled peaks of the Sierras re
fleet the golden glow of the evening
twilight.
The last of the Pennsylvania Railroad
tours to California will leave New York
and Philadelphia March 27, stopping
at Chicago, Omaha. Denver, Colorado
Springs and the "Garden of the Gods,"
and Salt Lake City. Tourists will trav

to have formed a gigantic combination
to operate a competing line to th»- Penn
syivaiii i qntam. Thi-y ihtt that 8M
great trust will liuild a line from Punx
sutawney to Butler, a distance of 4<i
miles, and there connect with the Pitts
bang. BaHeMT and Lake Erie. This is
John Pitcairn's old scheme of the Pitts
burg and Eastern Railroad The Beech
Creek, owned by the \ anderbilt- now
runs from Piinxsutawney to Williams
port, a distance of i:;o miles At Wil
; liamsport the Beech Creek connects
with the Reading road, which J. Pier
pont Morgan is reorganizing. The
; Journal argues, then fore, that the
| Morgen-Vauderbilt friendship will per
! mit of entrance into New York over
the Reading and -Ter . y Central. The
! reported scheme is laughed at in Pitts-
I bnrg and is considered nothing more
! than John Pit cairn making a bold fiich t
j for entrance into Pittsburg. Carnegie
j would have no reason to fight the Penn
' sylvania for an eastern connection, as
