of the mountains and the clanging of its 
iron horses never ceases to be heard 
from hill to hill through day or night. 
The stage coach of then to the flying 



palace of now is but history. It is the 
now which concerns us and throughout 
these pages the excellence of the Balti- 
more & Ohio Railroad will be portrayed. 



WHITEHALL TERMINAL. 



THE BALTIMORE & OHIO'S NEW TERMINAL AT NEW YORK. 



VI7"HITEHALL Terminal or "South 
** Ferry" which is now used by the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in addition 
to Libert}' Street in New York City, is 
at the extreme south end of the city just 
east of the Battery. 

At this terminal all of the elevated 
trains of the Second, Third, Sixth and 
Ninth avenue lines, the East and West 
Side Belt lines (horse cars) and the 
boats of the South Ferry, Staten Island 
Ferry and Thirty-Ninth Street Brooklyn 
Ferry, all land and receive passengers 
under the same roof. 

Thus a passenger to or from New 
York City via the B. & O. has advan- 
tages not afforded by any other line. It 
is possible to ride to almost any part of 
New York City and Brooklyn for a five 
cent fare and with the very quickest 
service. 

This, in connection with the excellent 
baggage transfer system of the B. &0. re- 
lieves the traveler of worry and expense. 

At Washington, Baltimore, Phila- 
delphia and New York a checking sys- 
tem is used whereby a trunk or piece of 
baggage will be called for at the house 
in one city and delivered to destination 



in any one of the others at a most reason- 
able charge. 

From Whitehall Terminal to Grand 
Central Station it takes but thirty-five 
minutes by the Third Avenue Elevated 
road. Staten Island Ferry connects 
with railroads for all parts of the 
Island. 

South Ferry to foot of Atlantic Ave- 
mi''. Brooklyn, connects with lines to all 
parts of Brooklyn and Long Island rail- 
road. Hamilton Avenue Ferry to foot 
of Hamilton Avenue, Brooklyn, connects 
with lines to Brooklyn Heights, Nassau 
Electric lines and Cone} - Island Elec- 
tric line. 

Thirty-Ninth Street Ferry to foot of 
Thirty-Ninth street, Brooklyn (Ambrose 
Park), connects with electric cars to 
Coney Island and Fort Hamilton. The 
Bay Ridge boat, leaving Whitehall, 
connects at Bay Ridge with trains to 
Manhattan Beach and Coney Island. 
This is the quickest route from New 
York to these points. 

Boats also leave here to Governors 
Island, headquarters of the Eastern De- 
partment of the U. S. Navy; to Liberty 
Island, Statue of Liberty; and to Ellis 
Island, Emigrant Station. 



THE WONDER OF THE AGE. 



THE possibility of showing moving 
trains, life size, at full speed on a 
stretch of canvas is one of the wonders 
of the waning nineteenth century. 

In Baltimore and in New York there 
has recently been exhibited a moving pic- 
ture of two Royal Blue trains passing 
each other over the Relay Viaduct near 
Baltimore. The picture represents 



train No. 512 on its flying journey from 
Washington to New York, and as it 
comes into the picture, it passes in clear 
view so that the people in the windows 
and on the rear platform ma}- be easily 
recognized for the instant. The train 
speeds along its journey over the viaduct 
where it meets its sister train No. 505 
coming head on at a rapid pace and

passing out of the picture. All is over 
in less than three-quarters oi a minute. 
It will be interesting to the public to 
know just how these pictures are made. 
There are many different machines 
under different names performing the 
same work. Among them are the Cine 
matoscope, Fhantascope, Cineograph, 
Cinemetograph, Biograph, Bioscope. Vi- 
tascope, Veriscope and as many others 
as there are exhibitors. The plan upon 
which these pic- 
tures are taken is 
simple. A little 
camera not over 
eight inches 
square with a lens 
focusing upon a 
piece of film one 
inch in width and 
three-quarters of 
an inch high does 
the work. This 
film carries any 
length from fifty 
to one hundred 
and fifty feet, and 
is so arranged as 
to allow twenty 
exposures to the 
second. This is 
so rapid that it 
catches minutely 
every movement 
in the picture. 
This is readily de- 
monstrated in the 
illustration 
shown. Theillus- 
tration shows the 
actual size of a 
a piece of film cut 
from one of the 
long rolls, and 
if the reader will 
notice the pictures closely he will see 
that while there are only six pic- 
tures, the movement of the trains is very 
marked. This section of film passed the 
focusing lens in about one-third of a 
second, and the impression on the film 
shows one-half of the baggage car as 
having entered the picture in this space 
of time, which indicates the moving of 
the train at a high rate of speed. A curi- 
ous fact is also noted, that none of the 
men in the picture have made any mo- 
tion whatever in this period. On close 




examination under the microscope the 
movement of the smoke from the ap- 
proaching train in the distance is varied. 
Examination of one of the full sized 
rolls of film to the light and running it 
through your lingers shows detail 

very clearly. 

As stated above, twenty impressions 
to the second are registered by the cam- 
era upon the film. This will maki 
teen pictures to the foot, and a film sixty- 
five feet in length such as was used in 
taking the Royal Blue trains shows nine 
hundred and seventy-five impressions. 

The time consumed in taking the 
complete picture was about forty-nine 
seconds. 

After the impressions have been 
taken the film is treated in the same 
manner as any other photographic film, 
and thus made permanent. In repro- 
ducing the picture upon the canvas, the 
film is taken up over a large wheel and 
securely fastened in the cogs in pre- 
cisely the same manner as the cog chain 
in a bicycle. The illustration shows 
the perforations in the- film. The pic- 
ture is then rapidly drawn between the 
lens in the projecting machine and a 
very strong concentrated light, produc- 
ing the etteet shown on the canvas in 
exactly the same manner as a stereopti- 
can, with the exception, of course, that 
the pictures behind the lens are in very 
rapid motion. 

We produce herein also a photo- 
graph of the operators at work taking 
cinematoscope pictures of these trains. 
This photograph was taken by the 
official photographer of the B. & O. 
From it the exact position of the oper- 
ators can be readily observed. 

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad have 
prepared and will soon place on exhibi- 
tion throughout the country cinemata- 
scope pictures taken of four trains— two 
Royal Blue trains and two freight 
trains — on their respective passengei 
and freight tracks. These pictures were 
taken at 10.37 a. m., on two successive 
days, at a point between Baltimore and 
\\ Islington where these trains pass 
each other in regular business every day 
of the year. The operators in taking 
these pictures were thoroughly inter- 
ested in their work and anxiously- 
awaited the minute at which they had 
instructions to commence starting their

machine. Precisely on the minute a 
Royal Blue train from the west ap- 
proached on the first track and another 
Royal Blue train from the east on the 
second track — both trains running at a 
speed between seventy-five and eight} 7 



miles an hour — while on the third track 
an east bound freight, and on the fourth 
track a west bound coal train, all regular 
trains on schedule time. This is one of 
the many interesting features of the 
B. & O.

Station of the Baltimore >V Ohin R. K. 
at Baltimore are completed, and the roof 
has been placed over the wide plat- 
forms, and soon the old train shed 
through which passengers have hurried 
for nearly a half century will only be 
used to shelter prosaic but useful freight 
cars. Passengers will soon learn and 
become accustomed to the new thorough- 
fare to waiting trains, and the sound of 
footsteps passing in and out of the 
former passenger gate will soon be but 
a memory. 

As long, however, as old Camden 
Station stands it will ever hold recollec- 
tions, not only for the elder employes 
of the great company, but also for the 
citizens of the former and last genera- 
tions. It is an old landmark, and around 
its dull colored walls a greater part of 
Baltimore's history has been made. 

The present station was built in 
1852. Prior to that time the station 
was situated on Pratt street, on the site 
now occupied by Mason's cracker fac- 
tor}'. In those days Pratt street station 
was known all over the country. From 
its contracted yard the first steam pas- 
senger train put to practical use for the 
transportation of travelers puffed away 
to Ellicott City, fifteen miles out, then 
the terminus of the road. To the peo- 
ple of those days the steam cars were a 
fearful and wonderful thing, and every 
one was anxious to ride on them. 

In one of the newspapers 
of that day is found an item 
stating that during hot weather 
the citizens of Baltimore en- 
joyed the cool ride "on top 
of the cars'' to Ellicott City, 
or rather Ellicott's Mills. 
•The cars go so fast." the 
item reads, "that a constant 
breeze is created for those sit- 
ting on the roof. " 

When the B. & (). was 
opened to the then distant 
Cumberland, Camden station 
was thrown open to the pub- 



lic. Mayor and city officers deli 
addresses. The iron horse had, to their 
minds, done a wonderful feat in climb- 
ing to the summit (if the mountains. 

Before steam was employed on thi 
road, freight and passenger cars were 
hauled b\ mule power from Baltimore 
to Ellicott's Mills. The cars left in 
trains. Each train consisted of thn • to 
five cars, according to the tonnagi 
their cargo, and th< ir departure and 
arrival wen advertised in the daily and 
weekly papers. 

The road grew larger; it threw out 
its black rails across the mountains 
and underneath them. It leaped wide 
rivers and brawling mountain streams, 
and its force of employes grew in 
number as the B. & O. grew in 
length. The sears passed on. Then 
came the civil war. and old Camden sta- 
tion resounded with the throbs of drums, 
the singing of bugles and the march of 
the Union blue coats as the long trains 
drew out of the station, carrying them 
south to battle for the Union. "Rebel 
lious Baltimore," our city was called 
then because of the strong secessionist 
feeling of its people, which culminated 
in the attack on the Sixth Massachusetts 
regiment as it passed through the city 
on the way south. Through it all old 
Camden station stood with its single 
tower looking down calmly on the ex- 
cited city as though to say. "I represent 
progress and am unharmed.'' Baltimore

THE EVOLUTION OF THE LOCOMOTH E. 



CTKAM locomotives have been so long 
^ the only motive power on regular 
railroads that there is now a widespread 
belief that both were invented simulta- 
neously. Not only is this not the case 
— the invention of railroads having pre- 
ceded that ol the locomotive by at least 
a hundred years — but it is also the fact 
that the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, 
though commenced the year after George 
Stephenson had begun to use a locomo 
tive regularly on the Stockton & Dar- 
lington Railway, was planned originally 
for hauling cars by horses. 

The engineers in this country were 
perfectly well aware of the importance 
of Stephenson's application of locomo- 
tives to the hauling of passengers and 
freight, as exhibited by him in 1825, but 
they doubted whether a similar system of 
traction could be applied to railways on 
this side of the Atlantic. The earliest 
railways to which locomotives were ap- 
plied had tracks at once level and 
straight; and it was not until Peter 
Cooper had demonstrated by means of 
his model locomotive that steam power 
could be safely used to haul cars around 
curves of 400 feet radius, that horses 
were finally superseded. 

Although Peter Cooper never built a 
successful full-sized locomotive, he is 
none the less entitled to the renown of 
being the father of the American loco- 
motive. He began building his model 
on the site of the present Mount Clare 
workshops in Baltimore, in 1829, and 
made several trial trips with it before 
the close of that year. It was a very 
crude machine, judged by the present 
standard, having an upright boiler with 
a single cylinder of 3^ inches diameter 
and a stroke of 14'j inches. Alderman 
Cooper, as he was then always called, 
could get no tubes for his boiler in this 
country, so that he was forced to use five 
or six gun barrels for this purpose. In- 
stead of using the exhaust steam from 
the cylinder to produce a draught for the 
fire, as in all modern locomotives. Mr. 
Cooper placed a fan, revolved by a belt 
from one of the axles, in the funnel of 
his engine. The power was applied to 
the other axle by means of a toothed 



wheel. The strength of thi ■ was 

one horse power. 

On Saturday, August 28, 1 3 (o, I'eter 
Cooper and thirty-nine othei persons 




Mil 1 1 1.- 1 kMERIl IS 1 11..IH1 

had a grand excursion to Ellicott's Mills, 
thirteen miles distant, and back. The 
gross weight of the train was three and 
a half tons, and the steepest gradient 
eighteen feet to the mile. Mr. Cooper 
acted as both engineer and fireman, us- 
ing his favorite anthracite coal. The out- 
bound trip was performed in an hour 
and twelve minutes, part of it being done 
at the then extraordinary rate of eigh- 
teen miles an hour. Mr. H. S. Latrobe, 
one of the passengers, who was for many 
years afterward general counsel to the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, 
remembered that when this speed was 
reached "several gentlemen pulled out 
their pencils and wrote connected sen- 
tences on slips of paper to prove that it 
was possible at that great velocit\ 

On the homeward trip, on this 
occasion, the band slipped off the fan 
and the anthracite coal refused to burn 
fast enough to make steam. The conse- 
quence was that one of the Stockton & 
Stoke's horse cars passed the locomotive, 
in spite of the frantic efforts of Mr. 
Cooper, in which he lacerated his hands, 
to slip the band back into its place. 
This was the first and last public per- 
formance of Peter Cooper's locomotive 
of which an account has been kept, but 
it nevertheless proved that a locomotive 
could be built which would run up 
gradients and keep on the track while 
rounding sharp curves. On the follow- 
ing January 4th. the directors of the

THE EVOLUTION OF THE LOCOMOTIVE. 



Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company 
issued their famous offer of $4,000 
for the best locomotive which should be 
delivered to their line before the follow- 
ing June 1st. The conditions attached 
to this offer show graphically the hopes 
and fears of the railroad men of that 
day. Summarized these were: 

"That the engine must burn coal or 
coke, and consume its own smoke. 

"That it must not exceed 3^ tons in 
working order, and must be able to draw 
fifteen tons at the rate of fifteen miles 
an hour. 

"That, other things equal, the engine 
of least weight would have the pre- 
ference. 

"That the wheels should have inside 
flanges, and if coupled should not exceed 
three feet in diameter, while if not 
coupled, the single pair of driving wheels 
should not exceed four feet in diameter. 

"That the pressure of the steam 
should not exceed 100 lbs. to the square 
inch, and should be as much below that 
limit as possible. 

"That each engine should have two 
safety valves out of the engineer's con- 
trol. ' 

"That each engine should have a 
mercurial gauge to blow out if the steam 
pressure exceeded 120 lbs. 

' 'That the height of the funnel snould 
not exceed twelve feet." 

The winner of this contest was 
Phineas Davis, who called his engine 
the "York,"' from York, Pa., where it 
was built. It was the first of the class 
known as "grasshoppers," and had a 
vertical boiler and cylinder. The exhaust 
steam revolved a fan which in turn re- 
volved a second fan close to the ash pan 
by which air was forced up through the 
fire. The dimensions of this engine 




M> dfeil 




A |i Win GRASSHOPPER. 



have not been preserved, but the cylin- 
ders were probably 5^ inches in diame- 



ter by 16 inches stroke. Under favor- 
able circumstances the "York "ran at 
as high a rate of speed as thirty miles 
an hour with three or four cars, and 
throughout the year 1832 had an aver- 
age run of eighty miles a day. In 
September, 1832, it was found that by 
placing steel springs on the engine and 
cars that one-third more load could be 
hauled with the same effort. Mr. Gill- 
ingham, the Superintendent of Motive 
Power, also reported at this time that the 
daily expense of the locomotive was 
$16.00, while it cost $33.00 using horses 
to haul the same load. 

Mr. Davis, who had now become the 
regular builder of engines for the Balti- 
more & Ohio Company, turned out his 
second "grasshopper" engine early in 
1833, which he named the "Atlantic." 
The third engine of the same class was 
named the "Franklin, '' and both these 
engines were considerably heavier than 
the "York." In July, 1834, when it 
was seen that the opening of the line to 
Harper's Ferry was at hand, four more 
engines were put in service. Two of 
these, "Arabin" and "Mercury," were 
built by Davis, the other two being built 
by Charles Reeder, of Baltimore. Some 
one or more of these engines had a hori- 
zontal boiler instead of a vertical one, 
and the name "crab" was given to its 
class to distinguish it from the "grass- 
hopper" class. 

On August 25th, 1835, the Wash- 
ington branch of the Baltimore & Ohio 
Road was opened for traffic, and on the 
following September 27th, Phineas 
Davis was killed. He was standing on 
the tender of an engine which ran off the 
track, and was hurled against the fire- 
box with such violence, that he never 
recovered consciousness. This led to 
the leasing of the Mount Clare shops to 
Gillingham & Winans, who agreed to 
furnish the Baltimore & Ohio Company 
with locomotives, at a stipulated price, 
and to give it precedence of all orders 
from elsewhere. 

Ross Winans, the junior partner in 
this firm, had been connected with the 
Baltimore & Ohio Road from its in- 
ception. He began life on a farm and 
became connected with the railway 
through selling it horses. His inventive 
genius soon displaying itself, he was 
sent to England in 1829. being then 



TH1: EVOLUTION 01 III! LOCOMOTIVE. 



thirty-three years old, to witness the 
locomotive contest at the Liverpool & 
Manchester Railway, finally won by 




WINANS MUD I (EH 

Stephenson's "Rocket." Returning to 
the United States, he invented the pro- 
jecting journals on the axles of car 
wheels, thus reducing at a stroke the 
friction of hauling them from twelve 
pounds to a ton to three pounds. 

As soon as he turned his hand to 
building locomotives, Mr. Winans threw 
himself into his work with characteristic 
energy. His first two engines, manu- 
factured in the fall of 1836, though eight 
tons each in weight, had a greater draw- 
bar pull than any of the twelve ton 
engines made by Stephenson in Eng- 
land. No records of these first two 
engines built by Mr. Winans have been 
preserved, but in the following year the 
first of the famous "mud diggers" was 
turned out at the Mount Clare Works. 
This type of engine had driving wheels 
three feet in diameter, and cylinders 



hundred pounds to the square inch, such 
an engine must have had a draw bar pull 
of 19,266 pounds, or enough power for 
even a good sized engine of to-day. 
There were drawbacks, however, to the 
utilization of all this tractive force. In- 
stead of the erank-shaft being connected 
directly to the central driving wheels, it 
operated through an intermediate shaft 
placed behind the fire box. This shaft 
had toothed wheels, which in turn en- 
gaged others on the shaft of the rear 
axle. The six driving wheels were con- 
nected by outside coupling rods, as in 
th. enginesof to-day. but these rods were 
attached to the wheels by ball joints in 
order to allow the lateral play then con- 
sidered necessary to enable the engine 
to pass safely around curves. If the bad 
balancing of all early locomotives be 
added to the friction of the toothed 
wheels, and the lateral and longitudinal 
play of the connecting rods, it may be 
safely inferred that the "mud digger'' 
class never was able to apply more than 
half its nominal draw-bar pull. 

Hitherto, the Baltimore & Ohio had 
restricted its orders for locomotives to 
its local headquarters, but in 1 S 3 s , four 
new engines were placed on the Wash- 
ington Branch, which had been built by 
the William Norris Locomotive Works, 
of Philadelphia. These engines were 
wood-burners, with a single pair of driv- 
ing wheels, and cylinders twelve inches

seventeen inches in diameter, with a 
twenty-four inch stroke. Assuming that 
the steam pressure in the boiler was one 



in diameter, with an eighteen inch stroke. 
A second pair of driving wheels were 
afterward coupled to the first pair, and 



14 



THE EVOLUTION OF THE LOCOMOTIVE. 



it is with this alteration that these Nor- 
ris engines are now remembered by some 
of the early workers on the road still 
living. The Washington Branch early 
became very popular with the traveling 
public, as the President of the Baltimore 
& Ohio, early in 1836, in an official 
report, says: "The first four month's 
travel averaged 200 persons per day, 
far exceeding the most sanguine expec- 
tations of the road." A two-car train 
making a daily trip from Baltimore to 
Washington and back would not appear 
to be doing an excessive business in 
these days. 

On November 5th, 1842, the road 
was opened to Cumberland, and two 
years later Ross Winans delivered sev- 
eral engines especially adapted for haul- 
ing coal. All that is known about these 
engines is the fact that each was 22 tons 
in weight, and from the stress laid upon 
their heaviness it ma}' safely be assumed 
that all previously built engines must 
have been considerably lighter. 

The variety of locomotive still known 
as the '-camel back" was first built by 
Ross Winans between 1850 and 1853. 
These were the first 30-ton engines ever 
used in any part of the world, and their 
fame was spread abroad in the land. 
Next to one modern class of engines, 
which shall here be nameless, they were 
perhaps the ugliest locomotives which 
have ever been built. Their bare un- 
protected fire-boxes hung over the rear 
wheels with a downward slant from the 
boiler. The fire-box had two chutes, 
through which coal was supplied at in- 
tervals by opening slides worked by a 
lever. The cab was placed on the top of 
the boiler and steps leading from it to a

gangway which ran back to the tender. 
The fireman must have had a dangerous 
journey to and fro when his "camel 
back" was running at high speed. The 
beauty of this engine, as originally built, 
was not enhanced by a spark arrester, 



which took the form of a short piece of 
duplicate funnel placed directly in front 
of the ordinary one. 

One feature of these locomotives 
which attracted great attention from the 
engine men of that day was the horizon- 




HAYES GRADE ENGDiE. 



tal cylinders placed in a line with the 
centre of the driving wheels, as is almost 
universally the case to-day. Before the 
"camel back" innovation the cylinders 
had been placed above the centre of the 
driving wheels, and of course inclined 
toward them. 

Yet the "camel backs" had their 
good points. The) 7 could pull trains 
which other engines could not look at; 
they could make steam in any kind of 
weather and with almost any kind of 
coal; they never got stuck on the up 
grades as other engines frequently did, 
and their strength, and constancy in 
using it, obviated the necessity of occa- 
sional helpers. They could haul trains 
100 tons in weight in summer and eighty 
tons in weight in winter, and keep their 
scheduled time, over the mountain grades 
of the Alleghenies. The}' were stoutly 
built engines, too, with good material 
in every part of them, and some of them, 
put into service thirty years ago. are 
still pegging away, much too good to be 
relegated to the scrap heap. 

The Baltimore & Ohio was opened 
from Cumberland to Wheeling in Janu- 
ary. 1853, and in preparation for this 
event and its expected large accession 
of the traffic, seventeen engines were 
ordered early in 1850, at a cost of about 
$150,000. Ross Winans secured the 
order for ten of these engines, at a cost 
of $9,750 apiece, eight more were built 
by A. W. Denmead, at $8,500 each, and 
two from Smith & Perkins at $9,500, 
two from the New Castle Manufacturing 
Co., at $9,500, and one from the same 
company at $8,500, while four were 
made at the B. & O. shops and charged 
up at $9,500 each. This little list shows 
that the price of all classes of engines 



i6 



THE EVOLUTION OF THE LOCOMOTIVE. 



was between $8,500 and $9,750, and it 
is a curious fact that the increasing 
cheapness of material and greater effi- 
ciency of workmanship permits engines 
of double the weight, and more than 
the power, to be built to-day for about 
the same prices. Before these orders 
were given out the B. & 0. was using 
sixty-four engines on the main stem. 

The next innovation in engine build- 
ing, which, in view of modern American 
practice would not be termed an improve- 
ment, was made by Samuel J. Hayes in 
1857. Mr. Hayes was then Master of 
Machinery for the B. & O., and he 
determined to build some wood-burning 
engines with inside cylinders. As inside 
cylinders demand forged cranks on the 
driving axles, and as these crank axles 
are liable to fracture with excessive 



branch road. But the latest example of 
engine building, as illustrated by the 
ten-wheeled consolidated passenger en- 
gines at present in use on the B. & O. 
Road, brings up such magnificent con- 
centration of speed, strength and endur- 
ance as were never before seen in the 
history of the world. 

These engines have six coupled 
wheels, six feet six inches in diameter, 
cylinders 21x26 inches, and a steam 
pressure of 170 pounds to the square 
inch. They haul the Royal Blue Line 
trains, and on many occasions have gone 
a mile in fifty seconds, while one of them 
has been timed covering a mile in thirty- 
two seconds. As to strength, one of 
them has hauled five Blue Line cars 
from Baltimore to Washington, forty 
miles, in thirty-six minutes. 




A KODERN FLYEB 



strain or after long use, American build- 
ers have wisely avoided them. In spite 
of this fact, Mr. Hayes went ahead and 
turned out several of the best propor- 
tioned engines, all things considered, 
that engine men had ever seen up to 
that time. They had cylinders fifteen 
inches in diameter with a twenty-two 
inch stroke. The central driving wheels 
and trailing wheels, which were coupled, 
were five feet in diameter. The}' were 
at first known as the Hayes' Passenger 
Engines, but were soon nick-named, the 
"Dutch Wagons." Still they became 
very popular with both operatives and 
passengers; the former, because they 
made steam and kept time if not over- 
loaded, and the latter, because they were 
neat and handsome with plenty of 
polished brass work. 

Between the era of the "Dutch Wag- 
ons" and the mammoth locomotives of 
to-day, lie the classes of engines familiar 
to every one, because examples of them 
are still to be found working on every 



When it is borne in mind that a 
"horse-power" really means what a very 
strong horse can lift in a minute, the 
force of one of these engines will be 
realized by conceiving 1,100 horses all 
able to make one mighty pull at the 
same moment. As to speed, one of 
these engines will advance at the almost 
inconceivably rapid rate of 100 feet in a 
second. Think of a living seventy-ton 
machine hurling 300 tons of inert train 
matter through the space of 100 feet 
between pulse beats ! Yet this tremen- 
dous aggregation of energy is under such 
perfect control as to respond to the 
touch of the engineer as quickly and as 
obediently as would a lady's horse to 
the rein of its rider. There may be in- 
ventions which are considered more 
marvelous than the modern high-power 
locomotive, but surely none displays in 
concrete result the power of man to im- 
prison so mighty a force in so small a 
compass.

MODERN PHOTOC.RAIMIY 



A/TARVELOUS complexity and detail 
*■*■*■ have been introduced into photog- 
raphy within recent years, and yet, para- 
doxically enough, this very complexity 
has been the means of giving to the 
individual worker, who neither desires 



become within recent years, that there 
are few men who are able to keep abreast 
of the ever-increasing strides of this 
beautiful art-science, and these few are 
men who constantly devote their ener- 
gies to photographic research and ex- 




nor cares to delve into the more subtle 
mysteries of the science, simplicity of 
method and operation wholly unknown 
to the painstaking and careful worker of 
twenty years ago. 

It is the storv of modern civilization 
and accompanying specialization, which, 
to a greater or less degree, affects every 
science, and creates men highly profi- 
cient and skilled in certain branches of 
manipulation, but badly rounded or 
trained in the subject as a whole. So 
broad has the subject of photography 



perimentation, exclusive of everything 
else. The average man either follows 
some special branch of photography for 
purely commercial ends, or picks it up 
as a pastime, a relaxation from other 
worrying cares and duties, and it is not 
to be expected that these specialists and 
pleasure-seekers can do more than keep 
in reading touch with the steadily in- 
creasing ramifications of the chemistry, 
processes, machinery and art as applied 
to photography. 

It is interesting in the extreme to fol- 



MODERN PHOTOGRAPHY. 



low the rapid changes which have taken 
place in the various factors of photog- 
raphy within less than a generation, and 
to finally sum up how modern appli- 
ances, chemical discoveries, and a gen- 
erally machine-made life have made 
"you push the button, and we do the 
rest,'' almost a reality. However, it 
should never be forgotten that the brains 
are not in the machine. 

My earliest recollections of photog- 
raphy only carry me backward some 
twenty years, when, as a small boy, I 
received the princely salary of seventy- 
five cents a week as an apprentice to a 
curly, sandy-haired photographer in my 
small home town. To my boyish fancy 
he was the epitome of rare cleverness 
and skill, and the very soul of a subtle, 
fascinating black art. 

Those were the days of hand-coated 
collodion dry - plates, just before the 
commercial dawn of the gelatine dry- 
plate, and I so well remember the ex- 
cessive irascibility of the proprietor on 
the days when he coated plates; it was 
worth your life to disturb him or raise 
a speck of dust in the establishment. 
With limited facilities and floor-space, 
it was no easy task to turn out evenly 
coated, well-sensitized plates, which 
would be fast enough to photograph 
even children; but the remarkable sharp- 
ness (which was then always sought for), 
brilliancy, and truly artistic treatment 
of his subjects remain to-day as monu- 
ments of his ability and versatility. 

This same man — and he was hardly 
an exception among those of his pro- 
fession — also did all his own develop- 
ing, retouching, albumenizing and sil- 
vering of the paper, and, while I did 
most of the printing and mounting, he 
did the toning, tinting and spotting, 
and between times took jobs of outside 
photography, or experimented assidu- 
ously along certain lines of research. 

The change from then to now im- 
presses one as a wonderful dream. To- 
day the hive of photography is filled 
with a swarm of specialists. A host of 
photo-mechanical processes has arisen, 
which are as Greek to the mere manipu- 
lator of a camera. The studio portrait- 
artist no longer makes landscapes or 
does architectural studies, and in his 
gallery he may have gone so far as to 
distribute the work among a number of 



assistants, such as a camera-operator, a 
developer, a printer, a mounter, a re- 
toucher and a spotter. 

The outdoor photographer now fol- 
lows a separate and distinct business, 
which includes everything scenic and 
architectural, and, in all fairness, it must 
be admitted that the follower of this 
branch of the art, with the aid of the 
progressive amateur, is to-day doing 
more for the advance of photography 
than he who works under the stable 
illumination of skylight and electric 
arc, surrounded by a corps of assistants 
who do only special and never-varying 
work, for this outside man has his pho- 
tographic senses keyed to the highest 
notch by the ever-changing variety of 
subjects and conditions under which he 
labors. Sea-scapes, open and close-at- 
hand landscapes, daylight and flashlight 
interiors, instantaneous and time-expos- 
ure portraits in the home, copying of all 
kinds, lantern-slide making, and, last 
of all, developing and printing for ama- 
teurs — all fall within his province. With 
these complex problems confronting 
him, he learns from necessity to use fast 
and slow, plain, orthochromatic and 
non-halation plates ; he has stored in 
his brain the impressions of how nearly 
every marketable developer acts and 
works, and may use several different 
kinds, or may skillfully modify his own 
pet formula to secure the best results as 
the needs of the particular exposure of 
plate seem to demand. 

Again, he has solved all the mysteries 
of wide angle, long-focus, symmetrical 
and portrait combinations in lenses, and 
knows how to get the most out of a sub- 
ject at close range with the shortest ex- 
posure, using his swing-backs to the 
best advantage to reduce the perspective 
distortion so common to this class of 
lens, or he understandingly makes a 
good plate, minus the front combination 
of his lens, which he does when he 
desires to double the size of his picture. 

It is quite needless to go into specific 
details respecting the immense amount 
of all-around technical knowledge and 
numerous little mechanical and chemi- 
cal dodges which the outdoor man gains 
by his training in pure photography; 
but even he who is doing so much to 
push forward every new method and 
device which is practical, or invents

others for his personal needs and the the field. The photographer carried a 

ultimate good of the many, is to-day a quantity of baggage and paraphernalia 

specialist, for he is a mere tyro in most which would horrify the modern worker:

raphy, photo-gravure and allied gelatine

perience recognize the hardships, labor 
and skill which were requisite to make-

chanical construction, and his lenses, 
when his slow plates demanded speed 
and covering-power, were not adequate 
for his needs. But with all these vexa- 



tious stumbling-blocks in their paths, 
some few men rose to the occasion, and 
have given us portrayals of scenic splen- 
dors which are difficult to surpass in

their treatment, even with the more per- 
fected knowledge and apparatus of to- 
day. The names of W. H. Jackson and

and the Great American Desert.

the relation of how several of the accom- 
panying photographs were taken. 

A fast Baltimore & Ohio train, with 
Harper's Ferry as the destination, was 
boarded by the photographer late one 
evening. The night was spent in one of 
the delightful cliff-perched summer re- 
sorts of the quaint and historic old town, 
the big 14x17 camera having been left 
in the baggage-room of the station far 
beneath. After a leisurely breakfast, an 
open carriage was secured, and the big 
box and the plate-holders picked up. 
First we passed over the iron bridge 
which spans the Shenandoah and con- 
nects the two states of Maryland and 
Virginia, and down a sweetly scented 
and shady roadway for three-quarters 
of a mile, then back again across the 
rippling, sparkling waters of the river 
and up the old canal by the Shenan- 
doah a mile or more, to the second 
bit, which looks for all the world like 
a piece of Holland, with its pictur- 
esquely clustered houses, and finally 
back to the heart of the dear old 
town where one of several old-fashioned 
streets, strongly suggestive of Colonial 
days, was selected as a fitting study for 
the camera. Certainly, not more than 
three hours' time was consumed in se- 



1 uring three' studies in black and white 
which please the eye and gratify the 
esthetic sensibilities. It was a pleasure- 
trip in a barouche. Instead of one or two 
minutes' exposure, as ot old, just one- 
tenth of a second was requireel on the 
rapid dry-plates, using one of the most 
modern of the Jena glass anastigmatic 
lenses. At the completion of the work 
with the big camera, it was dropped at 
the station, and a few hours more were 
spent in the fascinating sport of making 
snapshots with an Sxio hand camera. 
Development was a matter of less than 
an hour, on the following day, in a cozy 
little dark-room in Washington, sup- 
plied with automatic rockers and an 
abundance of fresh water. 

When we shall photograph in colors 
with the simplicity and ease and mini- 
mum of expenditure of labor with which 
we now make fine negatives on lightning 
thy- plates, we will have reached the 
Utopian pinnacle of photography, 
though perhaps the' ancient wet-plate 
expert will ungrudgingly concede that 
his brightest dreams have already been 
more than realized.

THE PIONEER RAILROAD. 



npHE Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the 
-*■ Parent of American Railroads, 
from the time of obtaining the first char- 
ter until the present day, has been the 
developer of civilization and commerce 
of the New World. 

When Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, 



His memorable words were indeed a 
prophecy. The Baltimore & Ohio Road 
was the beginning, of which the thou- 
sands and thousands of miles of other 
railroad systems are but counterparts, 
and the foundation of the greatest com- 
mercial nation on earth.

the only surviving signer of the Declara- 
tion of Independence at that time, cast 
the first spadeful of dirt for the begin- 
ning of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad 
on July 4, 1828, he said, " I consider this 
among the important acts of my life, 
second only to that of signing the 
Declaration of Independence, if second 
to that.' 



The history of this great American 
Pioneer which has just passed its three 
score years and ten, reads like a story of 
Jules Verne's as to matters of wonderful 
productions and inventions, continuing 
in advance with new ideas, inventions 
and progressive ability.

Betty was my sweetheart ; truly. 

Such another no man had ; 
Such an one to make him merry, 

Such an one to make him mad. 

Betty's farmer brother gave a 
Donkey to her Christmas day ; 

Donkey that a nun might ride on, 
Donkey solemn, slow and gray. 

Betty doted on that donkey ; 

Betty, most inconstant she. 
Doted on it, never caring 

That she quite neglected me. 

"Betty, darling," quoth I. jealous, 
"All the people, whom we know, 

Will be saying it's surprising 
That you love a donkey so." 

Betty was my sweetheart, truly. 

And she whispered: "If they do, 
They will only be repeating 

What they said when I chose you. "

RUDYARD KIPLING'S 



.00: 



THE New York Tribune publishes .1 
terse criticism on Rudyard Kip- 
ling's railroad story ".007" in which the 
"English of it" is handled without 
gloves. But it is a good story never- 
theless and it is only natural that the 
English writer should become a little 
'■balled up" (this common railroad 
slang is here pardonable) in his Amer- 
ican railway expressions. Quoting from 
the Tribune : 

"The recently published story of 
Rudyard Kipling entitled ".007." in 
which many of the characters are loco- 
motives, has attracted considerable at- 
tention in railroad circles, and many 
professional railroad men agree in credit- 
ing the author with unusual knowledge 
of railroad usages, technical terms and 
mechanical matters. Much of the con- 
versation in the story is carried on by 
locomotives of various types, which 
meet in a roundhouse, where .007, ' an 
eight- wheeled American loco,' becomes 
acquainted with a number of his fellows. 

• You can't expect a writer of jungle 
stories to be letter perfect in railroad 
matters,' said an old engineer, ' especi 
ally if the writer is an Englishman and 
the railroad matters in his stories are 
American. He tries hard to appear 
American, but in the first sentence in 
which the engine with the impossible 
name is referred to he shows his English. 
No one on this side of the water evei 
refers to an engine as a 'loco,' and the 
author never once uses the word engine 
in his story. If Kipling's '.007' had 
been written for England or the colonies, 
it would have been perfectly proper to 
refer to a certain style of engine as 
•American' in build, but in this country 
we have only American locomotiveSj 
and no practical railroad man in the 
United States uses the word 'be 
when speaking of a 'truck.' These 
errors show that Kipling is like Sulli- 
van's tar and 



In spite of all temptations, 
To bi long t< 1 othei nations, 
lie remains an Englishman. 

• II he had been reared in this coun- 
try or had more than a bowing acquaint- 
ance with railroad people, he would not 
have spoken of an engine as 'he,' and 
he would have chosen some other decor- 
ation than pea green with a red • buffer 
bar ' for one of the most conspicuous of 
his collection of • locos.' " 

A prominent railway official of the 
operating department of a great railway 
is also quoted in the article : 

"It is one of the best railroad stories 
I ever read. Many writers try to write 
similar tales, but they usually fail when 
they strike technical points; but Kipling 
has made none of the usual blunders, 
and his story would be most excellent, 
from the railroad man's point of view, 
but for a few slight errors. For exam- 
ple: 'I've trouble enough in my own 
division,' said a lean, light suburban 
loco, with very shiny brake shoes. 'My 
commuters wouldn't rest till they got a 
parlor car. They've hitched it on just 
ahead o' the caboose, and it hauls 
worse'n a snow plow. ' 

' Now, a caboose, every one knows, 
is the car at the end of a freight train, 
and no one ever saw a caboose and a 
parlor car hitched as Kipling describes. 
His satire on the yardmaster is simply 
delicious. It may be a little overdrawn. 
but it shows that officer to be an unlimi- 
ted monarch, and that's what he is tor 
the time being. But when the author 
has the yardmaster examining freight 
receipts, he makes another error. A 
yardmaster never sees these documents 
He handles way bills and running bills, 
but never a freight receipt. Mr. Kipling 
shows that he has been around engines, 
and knows much about them by men 
tioning the fact that they cany jack 
screws, but he probably n< ver heard any 
one in a roundhouse talk about 
water.'" 



-ALL QUIET ALONG THE POTOMAC." 



COR more than one hundred miles 
west of Washington, the Potomac 
river and the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- 
road are closely entwined, the road being 
sometimes in Maryland, although most 
of the time in West Virginia, the river 
forming the boundary line between the 
two States. 

Aside from its memories, this river- 
child of the mountains is of special inter- 
est because of its evervarving beauty. 



there it feeds a canal. We are some- 
times close beside, and sometimes far 
above it. Altogether it is a traveling 
companion which one learns to love for 
itself alone, and irrespective of the 
mighty part it has played in the nation's 
history. 

" 'All quiet along the Potomac' they say, 
Except now and then a stray picket 
Is shot, as he walks on his beat, to and fro. 
Bv a rifleman hid in the thicket.'' 




THE MEMORY- HAUNTED POTOMAC. 



— 



Nearly all the distance it is bordered by 
trees bending over its pellucid waters, 
as if, like Narcissus, they were in love 
with their own images. In places broad 
and deep and placid, in others its course 
is fretted v.ith great boulders, and the 
waters grow white with fury as they dash 
through the narrow obstructed channel. 
Here the meadows slope gently to its 
edge, and again the banks rise sheer 
and perpendicular, leaving not a foot- 
hold short of the most dizzy height. In 
some sections the river is the neighbor 
of many households; in others it tumbles 
on its way for miles and miles in utter 
solitude. Here it turns a mill; and 



It was not always quiet along the 
Potomac. For four long weary years 
the valley through which it runs, and 
which now is a dream of peace and 
prosperity, was debatable ground for 
the great armies of the North and South; 
and both river and railroad were crossed 
and recrossed, time and again, by the 
contending forces. The battles of An- 
tietam. South Mountain, Monocacy and 
Gettysburg were all fought north of the 
main line of the Baltimore & Ohio. Just 
south of it the battle of Ball's Bluff took 
place, while the Valley Division runs 
directly through the bitterly contested 
Shenandoah region. The line was of

the utmost importance as a highwa) Eoi 
troops and supplies from the West, and 

had to be most jealously guarded by the 
Unionists. As it was, bridges w< re 
destroyed, tracks were torn up, engines 
stolen, cars and stations burned, tele- 
graph wires cut, etc., etc. 

Harper's Ferry was specially uncer- 
tain in its tenure, sometimes being held 
by one party and sometimes by the 
other. Joe Johnston, Stonewall Jack- 
son, Jubal Early, Robert E. Lee, Mc- 
Clellan. Sheridan, Wallace, Butler and 
Banks all played important parts in the 



more & < Ihio locomotives, which were 
sorely needed on a Confederate road. 
They were rigged up so they could be 
hauled by teams; and the man who 
engineered this interesting feat of con- 
fiscation was afterwards master of trans- 
portation of the very road on which, 
under the exigencies of war, he had 
made such a heavy draft. 

Where the three States of Virginia, 
West Virginia and Maryland come to-

Shenandoah join their rushing waters,

great war drama, of which the country 
through which the Baltimore & Ohio 
runs, was the scene. Scores of battle- 
fields can be visited by diverging only a 
few miles on either side. Almost within 
sight of the heights which tower above 
the main line is the scene of Sheridan's 
famous ride " from Winchester, twenty 
miles away;*' while at less distance, al- 
though in another direction, is the town 
where lived Whittier's Barbara Frietchie 

"On 1l1.il pleasant morn of the early fall 
When Lee marched over the mountain wall — 
1 I > r the mountains, winding down 
Horse and foot, into Frederick town." 

This is the land of heroic song, and 
of heroic deeds as well. 

From Martinsburg, Stonewall Jack- 
son's men actually captured and carried 
off across the country six or eight Balti- 



Ridge end abruptly, frowning as they 
do so, upon Maryland Heights on the 
one hand, and Bolivar Heights on the 
other, is cradled the historic town of 
Harper's Ferry. 

The surroundings are in keeping 
with the birthplace of a mighty conflict. 
Terrible, indeed, in ages past, must 
have been the convulsions of nature 
which rent these giant rocks asunder, 
and terrible were the consequences 
which followed the wild act of old John 
Brown of Osawatomie, who, on this 
very spot, defied the laws and customs 
of his country, and with less than a 
score of followers, took up arms against 
the combined forces of public opinion, 
the institution of slavery, and the State 
of Virginia. 

He was called a madman and a 



14 



ALL QUIET ALONG THE POTOMAC" 



murderer, and he died upon the gallows. 
Three years later his name was the song 
and watchword of an army, and 
" His soul goes marching on! " 
Brown chose this place as the base 
of his operations, he said, because he 
regarded these mountains as having 
been designed by the Almighty, from 
all eternity, as a refuge for fugitive 
slaves. 



within the last two months, placed 
beside the monument four large iron 
slabs, with lettering in relief telling of 
the alternating loss and capture of 
Harper's Ferry. All trains of the 
Baltimore & Ohio stop immediately 
alongside of the monument and the 
tablets to allow passengers to see the 
interesting markers.

It will be remembered that on the 
evening of October 16th, 1859, he cap- 
tured the town and the United States 
Arsenal; the following day was driven 
into a building, afterwards known as 
John Brown's Fort; that he refused to 
surrender till his two sons had been 
killed, and he was supposed to be dying. 
All this took place in plain sight of the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and the 
spot where the fort stood is marked by 
a monument. The government has, 



of about 12,000, under Colonel Miles, 
was stationed here. On the 12th, four 
days before the battle of Antietam, a 
strong Confederate force, under Stone- 
wall Jackson, appeared before Maryland 
Heights, on the Maryland shore, and 
earl}' in the morning of the 13th, drove 
the Union troops stationed there behind 
their breastworks. These were soon 
after taken, when the Federals withdrew 
across the river. On the same day 
the Confederates established batteries on 



"ALL QUIET ALONG THE POTOMAC. 



15 



Loudon Heights, on the Virginia shore, 
and on the 14th opened fire from these 
and Maryland Heights, renewing it at 
daybreak of the 15th from seven com- 
manding points. The Federal guns 
returned fire from Bolivar Heights, 
behind the town, but ineffectually, and 
Colonel Miles surrendered his force — 
all but the cavalry, who had escaped in 
the night. He was mortally wounded. 



Tin Confederates took about eleven 
thousand prisoners, seventy-three i;nns. 
and thirteen thousand small arms. I hi 
Union forces were paroled, and | a< kson 
marched immediately to join Lee at 
Antietam. That bloody field can be 
plainly seen from the heights about 
Harper's Ferry, as can also South 
Mountain, where the late ex-President 
1 [ayes was wounded.

RECONSTRUCTING A RAILROAD. 



ATRIP over the Baltimore & Ohio

rent all summer as to the notable 
improvements in progress along that 
famous scenic route through the Alle- 
ghany mountains, and which are to 
enable the new management to cut the 
time between Chicago and New York to 
twenty-four hours or less. The princi- 
pal work is being done on the mountain 
divisions east and west of Cumberland, 
where the pioneer curves and grades 
are surrendering to modern engineering 
and requirements at monumental cost. 
Short cuts across foothill knobs and 
noses have been burrowed and blown,

and climbs, and enabling heavier trains 
on curtailed schedules. The snap shots 
shown illustrate the character of the im- 
provements between Martinsburg and 
Hancock on the Cumberland and Har- 
per's Ferry division. Just across the 
Pennsylvania State line at Fairhope, on 
the Cumberland and Pittsburg division, 
a new tunnel and two or three steel 
bridges cut off a semi-circle of several 
miles and correspondingly reduce the 
widely mooted twelve-mile grade that 
necessitated two engines from Cumber- 
land to Keystone, including the one-mile 
tunnel at Sand Patch, in the Alleghany 
summits. Already Baltimore & Ohio 
freight trains have been lengthened from 
twenty-five to forty cars and pulled over 
these mountain divisions with a single 
engine of the new mogul pattern. Equal 
cuts and reductions have been made on

cars formerly made a mogul locomotive 
snort like a surprised hippopotamus in 
a mucky African jungle. This is on 
the Cincinnati & St. Louis line. Not 
less important in the Baltimore & Ohio 
revolution are the new ties and rails that 
have been laid on the mountain divis- 
ions, the rails being eighty-five pounds 
to the yard and thirty-three feet in length 
each, as compared with former ones of 
only sixty-seven pounds to the yard and 
thirty feet long. The Royal Blue trains 
run between Washington and New York 
in five hours over as fine a bit of track 
as can be found in the world.

lines. The modern engineering expert

There were ioo cigars in each box, mak-

it reads distinctly that if the goods are 
consumed by fire money is paid on

MOUNT ROYAL STATION, BALTIMORE. 



' I 'HIS magnificent railway station, 
■*■ located in the most accessible resi- 
dence portion of the city of Baltimore, 
was erected by the Baltimore & Ohio 
Railroad for the convenience of residents 
of the northern portion of the city in 
reaching the Royal Blue trains running 
between Washington, Baltimore, Phila- 
delphia and New York. Mt. Royal 



cost of $300,000.00, has made this station 
beautifully attractive and one of the 
principal points of interest of Baltimore. 
The station is built of Port Deposit 
granite, with trimmings of Indiana lime- 
stone and roofed with red glazed tiling. 
The style of architecture is renaissance. 
A large square tower rises to the height 
of one hundred and fifty feet from the 




THE PORTE-COCHERE, 



Station is located at the intersection of 
Cathedral street and Mt. Royal avenue, 
and is practically in the very heart of the 
residence portion of the city. 

Electric cars radiate from it to all 
parts of the city and suburbs, thus making 
it possible to reach all Baltimore & 
Ohio trains without the inconvenience 
of passing through the business portion 
of the city, to the old Camden Station. 

Mt. Royal Station enjoys the dis- 
tinction of being the most splendid rail- 
way station in the United States, built 
and used exclusively by one railway. 
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, at a 



front center of the building and contains 
an electric clock with four large dials, 
showing the time plainly day and night 
for miles around. The interior of the 
station is magnificent in all details, and 
with extraordinarily high ceilings, the 
architectural effect of the main waiting 
room is beautiful. This room is encir- 
cled by a running gallery, from which 
the detailed effects can be most readily 
appreciated. The floors are of marble, 
mosaic tiling; the wood finishings are of 
white oak; the wainscoting of figured 
oak; the ceilings are paneled in stamped 
metal; the furniture throughout is of

waiting room, adjoining the main wait- 
ing room, is large and commodious and 
supplied with comfortable sofas and 
chairs. The ladies' toilet room is ele- 
gant and complete in all details. The 
gentlemen's smoking room and general 
dining room are in keeping with the

TTHE excellent street car system of 
Baltimore enables residents in all 
parts of the city and suburbs to reach 
Mt. Royal Station either by direct line 
or transfer, at one fare. 

The line passing at Mt. Royal Ave- 
nue will take passengers as far north as 
Roland Park and Lakeside. From this 
line transfer can be made at North 
Avenue to lines going toWaverly, Tow- 
son. Patterson Park and almost any 
portion of east Baltimore. To the 
west for Emory Grove, Owings Mills. 
Pikesville, Arlington, Gwynne Oak. 



Powhattan, Walbrook, Calverton and 
northwest Baltimore. 

The John Street Line passes near 
the western entrance of Mt. Royal

will take passengers to all points in 
northwest Baltimore as named above. 

The Charles Street Line can !>•

THE SHADES OF MANNAHATTA. 



CHRISTMAS Eve! 
^ Peter Stuyvesant sat crouched in 
his arm-chair before a cheerful log fire, 
in the governor's mansion on the Isle of 
Mannahatta, awaiting the arrival of his 
quests. His wooden leg rested on one 
of the big brass andirons; his long 
stemmed pipe was caught lightly in his 
fingers, and his lips tightened or relaxed 
on its glazed tip, as at intervals he 
poured forth a long stream of smoke 
toward the ceiling. 

Peter was only the shade of his 
former self. He had come back to 
earth in a spirit of curiosity, for he 
had heard strange tales of happenings 
in the possessions once governed by 
him when he was mortal. 

So on the eve of his patron saint, 
the Good St. Nicholas, he invited a few 
of his neighbor shades to spend the eve 
with him at his old home. He had 
preceded them to make ready the old 
house which he had left nearly two 
hundred and fifty years before. He 
drew up the old chair before the fire, 
and lighting his pipe began to smoke. 

There was nothing to note particu- 
larly in his smoking; but the smoke — 
that was curious. It floated around his 
head in great wreaths of limpid vapor. 
Slowly it gathered, and through its 
misty veil, the outlines of a face were 
plainly discernible. Another glance 
revealed the full outlines of a man. 
He was tall, straight and commanding. 
He wore a cockade, a wig and cue; 
his old fashioned satin coat with lace 
at the sleeves, his broad waistcoat, 
knee breeches, silk stockings, the silver 
buckles at his knees and on his shoes 
betokened a Knickerbocker. 

"Good evening, myn heer," said the 



shade, and Peter arose and took the 
hand of his distinguished guest, and 
pointing to another pipe which lay on 
the huge oaken mantlepiece, bade his 
visitor be seated. 

Soon the blue smoke from the two 
pipes thickened ; and, behold ! out of it 
came the sombre form of a plain old 
man. His garb was that of a Quaker. 
His long, curly hair, his smoothly shaven 
face and folded hands were those of a 
pious man. On his head he wore a 
great beaver hat with broad brim turned 
upwards at the sides. 

"I trust I see thee well," said the 
good old man, as he moved his chair 
back from the fireplace to the wall to 
rid himself of the heat as well as the 
tobacco smoke, and sitting with his 
hands folded, seemed ready to dive 
through the thickening clouds from 
which he came, into the ether again, 
and with the aid of the wings of his 
great hat fly away. 

Again the smoke thickened, and two 
opposing clouds from the pipes of old 
Knickerbocker and Stuyvesant rolled 
together, and from it suddenly appeared 
the form of a gay cavalier, in high top 
boots and spurs. About his royal blue 
doublet was buckled his sword. A red 
coat covered his frilled shirt. A gay 
ostrich plume waved from his soft felt 
hat, which he lifted as he entered the 
presence of his host. 

With a sweeping bow he graciously 
wished his host and assembled guests a 
merry Christmas. Such a flurry and 
commotion was created upon his en- 
trance that the blue smoke, now bluer 
than before, had gathered quickly in the 
opening left by this knight of olden 
tunes, as he seated himself. 



THE SHADES OF MANNAHATTA. 



As though propelled by a great gust 
of wind the smoke unraveled itself into 
the form of another guest entirely unlike 
any of his predecessors, as there was a 
suggestion of the modern about him 
which was not possessed by the other 
shades. 

"Friends and fellow countrymen !" 
said the fourth shade as he laid his stove 
pipe hat upon the floor, and thrust his 
right hand into the breast of his waist- 
coat, raising his left as though he were 



with the Indians; Lord Baltimore, with 
his "ancestry'' shining through him 
from his curly locks and knightly beard, 
to the flaps on his clumsy boots ; and, 
last, but by no means least, the Senator, 
bubbling with bluster and importance. 
Peter Stuyvesant was a jolly host. 
He had invited his four distinguished 
neighbors of shadeland to celebrate with 
him an event which made him proud, 
on this memorable Christmas eve. The 
wooden peg, which served him as 




going to make a speech. "Pray be 
seated," said Peter, rising, with a sug- 
gestion of temper in his accent. 

The last vestige of smoke had disap- 
peared with the arrival of this last guest. 
Whether it had blown away with his 
entrance or had consumed itself in his 
development was a conjecture. But, 
it had disappeared, and in its place 
were the filmy, transparent figures of 
Peter Stuyvesant and his four guests — 
Wouter Van Twiller, the blue stocking 
Knickerbocker ; William Penn, silent 
and pensive, he of the famous treaty 



a leg, struck heavily on the oaken floor 
as he stumped about the room serving 
each of his guests with a great earthen 
mug of beer. 

Stuyvesant's select little group of 
shades were not a very boisterous crowd 
for a Christmas Eve celebration. Per- 
haps they were a little ante-dated; or, 
were fearful lest they would arouse 
some of the celebrated anger that 
Peter could stir up. When Peter was 
in the flesh, most of his time was con- 
sumed in solving knotty problems, and 
that, together with his having to peg 
along through life on a wooden leg, 
had made him notoriously cross and 
crabbed. Being ousted from office by

death, the final scene in his great one 
act comedy-drama as Governor of New 
York might have made him worse. But 
he was not crabbed to-night. He invited 
his nearest neighbors to come over and 
celebrate an event which his posh i in 
had brought about. 

While his guests were sipping the 
vaporous home brew, which he set before 
them, he busied himself getting out an 
old parchment map, mildewed with age, 
and unrolling it on the big oaken table, 



sea. It was called the Isle of Manna- 
hatta. Across from the foot of the 
island, to the west and bordering the 
sea, were rude lines, indicating a village, 
and its Dutch letters, almost obliterated, 
spelled the word "Communipaw." The 
date on the map as near as could be 
made out was "1607." 

Peter stumped around the table with 
his hands behind him, bending over his 
guests, examining the map. He stopped 
at the foot of the table and tugged

had his guests draw up their chairs and 
set their mugs down on the four corners 
of the map to keep it from rolling up 
again. Although Peter addressed his 
guests in pure Holland Dutch, none of 
the shades had any difficulty in under- 
standing him. 

At the head of the table sat Van 
Twiller, and as he scanned the map 
before him, his filmy countenance took 
on an intensely interested expression. 
The others only exhibited the usual 
politeness that would be expected from 
guests. 

The map was that of a peninsula, or 
more correctly speaking, an island, made 
by a big river splitting on its way to the 



fiercely at the ends of his little mustache 
and gazed on the little town of Com- 
munipaw, with its queer houses and 
windmills. Surely they were not there 
when the map was unfolded, but some 
strange transformation had been going 
on, for in clear outlines the village had 
raised itself and signs of life had ap- 
peared. 

Van Twiller eagerly leaned forward

on his elbows, appearing to recognize a 
figure strangely like himself. It was a 
man of importance, perhaps a leader, 
for in fact, the people obe} T ed his will. 
The scene changed and the figure was 
swallowed up in the earth; and the old 
man leaned back in his chair again, 
assuming his former intense gaze. A 
war whoop arose from a little band of 
red figures, appearing on the island, 
and William Penn mechanically leaned 
forward and pacified the little group 



sant became enraged. Forgetting that 
he was nothing but a thin vaporous 
spook himself, vainly gesticulated and 
fumed, shaking his fists at the figures 
before him. 

Then there was a battle. The little 
figure with a wooden leg had been hard 
hit and then it disappeared from the 
map. At this Peter's vengeance cooled 
and he again became absorbed in the 
map. The rapid transition continued. 
While the little town of Communipaw

with a single glance. The little village 
grew and new figures appeared. The 
water which originally contained only 
the queer Dutch ships and Indian 
canoes, now had bigger ships of a for- 
eign make. 

Old Peter, like his guests, had re- 
mained silent during all the strange 
miniature pantomine. Suddenly loud 
noises as from afar, arose from the little 
settlement and undoubtedly the form 
of Peter himself was plainly seen in the 
midst of the assembled citizens of the 
town. At the sight of it old Stuyve- 



remained dormant, the Island was grow- 
ing with settlements. The harbor and 
rivers filled with vessels. The little 
Indian villages were driven off the 
island. Thicker and thicker appeared 
the houses; streets upon streets were 
portioning out the land. Soon the 
island was filled up and settlements ap- 
peared on each side of the wide rivers. 
The noises increased. Then the build- 



THE SHADES (>/■ 1/ tNN /// / TTA. 



ings grew taller and the church steeples 
higher. A great bridge spanned the river 
from the southeast corner of the island 
to the main-land. Trains of cars rushed 
on the main-land tow aid the island from 
all directions and unloaded then passen- 
gers on boats, which hurried them to 
landings in the city. Elevated trains 
through the streets ran from one end of 
the island to the other. On the surface 
of the streets a long stream of cars were 
pulled by an unseen cable, and all were 



now watching the bulletins on the big 
white signs in front of the newspaper 
offices with intense interest. 

All this time the original settle- 
ment at Communipaw had grown com- 
paratively but little. Peter noted this 
and pondered. Suddenly he pointed to 
the little village, as though he had found 
the reason. Beautiful trains of the color 
of Lord Baltimore's waistcoat pulled in- 
to the station, from which crowds of 
people were entering the ferry boats.

ini.\ ing to and from the lower end of the 
island, which the people called the 
Battery. The great bridge was alive 
with people and the two great settle- 
ments were united in one big town. 
Then there was more noise and great 
tumult, for the people had decided to 
call their cities by one name and live 
under one government. They were 
having an election, and the Senator was 



Across to the island came the boats and 
entered their berths under the big build- 
ing, east of the Battery, which was 
called "Whitehall Terminal." There 
the people dispersed in the elevated 
trains, cable cars and ferry boats and 
were carried quickly to every part of the 
big city, which the people called 
■ ■ i rreater New York. " 

It was Christmas Eve. The lights 
of the city sparkled like miniature 
diamonds, and the two million and a 
half people were celebrating also. " By 
the great St. Nicholas,'' said Peter 
gleefully, "this beats Oloffe Kortlandt's 
dream." [Copyrighted.] 



A SOUVENIR. 



A SOUVENIR ? What shall I say? 
I'm but a puppet in the play, 
The muse invoked doth flee away; 
A souvenir ? What shall I say ? 

About blue eyes? I do not know — 
Unless upon the driven snow, 
Dropped from the clouds to earth below, 
Are bits of sky. If so, I know. 

A dimpled chin? I've dimples seen 
Upon the laughing water's mien, 
When kissed by heaven's orbed queen; 
Such dimples sweet, ah yes, I've seen. 

Can I of golden tresses sing ? 

I've seen the sun a halo fling 

That streamed behind when he did spring 

Swift downward where the shadows cling. 

The cheek may borrow from the rose, 
The brow from whitest Arctic snows, 
The teeth from pearl the deep sea knows 
The flower may bloom where poison 
grows. 

A souvenir I give to thee; 
What token wilt return to me ? 
Wilt with thy ruby lips decree 
That thou art souvenir to me ?

THE NEMACOLIN PATH. 



' I 'HAT part of Pennsylvania lying be- 
-*- tween Pittsburg and Cumberland, 
and traversed by the line of the Balti- 
more & Ohio Road, is one of the most 
historical sections of our country. 
Its fame and scenic charms date far 
back into the past; and in myth and 
legend, in song, romance and story it 
is famous locally, well known through- 
out the whole country, and not entirely 
unknown beyond Columbia's borders. 

As the mind reaches back into the 
years of more than a century ago, it con- 
templates the solitary traveler bearing 
his little pack of peltries over the same 
route where to-day rush and roar the 
locomotive and its lengthy train. For 
years and years before that time it was 
the great east and west highway of the 
savages; for here ran the great Nema- 
colin Path, and this Appian Way of the 
savages was continually filled with sav- 
age bands. 

Along this route Washington jour- 
neyed westward during the early days 
of the French and Indian war, the route 
of the ill-fated Braddock followed close- 
ly that now traversed by the line of 
"The Royal Blue," and later the old 
State road meandered along this moun- 
tain route and in the footprints of the 
earlj' settlers followed the heavy ladened 
pack horse. Then came the great and 
only National Highway, and with it 
came the white topped emigrant wagon, 
the ponderous conestoga and the stage 
coach — the lightning express of those 
early days — and next the iron way of 
the railway appeared to complete the 
subjugation of the wilderness and to 
hasten the development of this most im- 
portant territory. Thus we trace the 
evolution of travel and transportation of 
the great route which is to-day con- 



trolled by the Baltimore & Ohio System, 
and its history, narrated in detail, is 
one illustrative of progress on the 
American continent. 

In the great drama of American his- 
tory which closed when the fond hopes 
of the French for empire on the Ameri- 
can continent went up with the smoke 
which rose from the ashes of Fort Du- 
quesne, George Washington was a cen- 
tral figure in that momentous struggle. 

The sending of young Washington 
over these mountains upon the em- 
bassy to warn the French out of the 
upper Ohio Valley is an event in Amer- 
ican history equal in importance with 
the discovery of the continent and the 
independence of the nation. It is an 
all-important event in our history as a 
distinct nation, for had that journey not 
been made, the great and decisive con- 
flict between the two leading nations of 
the world would not at that time have 
been precipitated ; the Lilies of France 
would not have bowed before the Royal 
Cross of St. George ; the expense of 
that great struggle would not have fallen 
so heavily upon England and she would 
not have been tempted to further op- 
press the over-burdened colonists with 
heavier taxes in order to pay her war 
debts. 

This journey of Washington into 
western Pennsylvania, while made in 
the interest of England, was but an un- 
conscious masterstroke In favor of the 
American colonies which were so soon 
to be endowed with the power and dig- 
nity of free and independent statehood. 
By the summer of 1753 French aggres- 
sions in the region now embraced in 
southwestern Pennsylvania had so far 
progressed as to greatly alarm the col- 
onists. At the suggestion of the British

THE NEMA COLIN PATH. 



Council Lieutenant Governor Dinwid- 
die, of Virginia, sent George Washing- 
ton over the mountains to warn the 
French to leave the region. On Novem- 
ber ist of that year, the very day on 
which he received his commission, he 
set out from Williamsburg, and fifteen 
days later he left Wills Creek, now 
Cumberland, on his long and dangerous 
journey through the unbroken wilder- 
ness. He was accompanied by Christo- 
pher Gist, the celebrated Indian guide 



weeks for the journey which to-day is 
accomplished in hours. 

After his return from this first jour- 
ney, it became evident that the French 
meant to hold the western region, and 
the following year Washington was sent 
over the mountains by the same route 
with a force to drive the French out of 
the region. This expedition ended at 
the Great Meadows, a few miles south 
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad west of 
the mountains. It was here the first

and interpreter, six other white men and 
two friendly Indians. 

The route of their journey up Wills 
Creek and down the Youghiogheny was 
very nearly that now traversed by the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. But what a 
contrast is presented between the region 
as it appeared then, and now. Where 
prosperous towns and rich fields now 
appear all was then covered by forests ; 
and through the wild woodlands ranged 
the savage bands. Then it required 



battle of the French and Indian war was 
fought, and nearby the opening skirmish 
of that great struggle which extended to 
both sides of the Atlantic and which was 
really the signal for two great revolu- 
tions : for the one which gave to Amer- 
ica her independence, and for the strug- 
gle which swept away the feudal institu- 
tions of Europe. 

It was while the forces of Washing- 
ton lay at Fort Necessity, which they 
had constructed at the Great Meadows, 



THE NEMACOLIN PATH. 



this opening skirmish occurred. Wash- 
ington received information that a body 
of French forces were in the neighbor- 
hood, and on the night of May i\\\\ a 
messenger from Tanacharison, or the 
Half King, a friendly Indian chief, con- 
firmed the information. At once Wash- 
ington led a party through the intense 
darkness to the Indian camp, and ac- 
companied by the savages they pro- 
ceeded to the French camp which had 
been located in a dark ravine in the 
mountains. Just at daybreak Washing- 



mounted by a cross which tells of his 
creed but not his nationality, can be 
seen the grave of Jumonville. When 
LaFayette visited this country, he made 
a pilgrimage to the grave of his illustri- 
ous countryman. ] ; 
Just a month after this preliminary 
struggle the French forces appeared in 
greater numbers before Fort Necessity, 
and he was compelled to capitulate. 
He, however, obtained most honorable 
terms and was allowed to take off all 
artillery, provisions and other belong-

ton gave the signal to fire and the shots 
which rang out among the mountains of 
Fayette County upon the misty air of 
that late May morning are the most 
famous in history. The French leader, 
Jumonville, and nine of his men wereslain 
in this engagement. The remaining nine- 
teen surrendered. The dead French 
leader was laid tenderly to rest in a 
shallow grave which Washington's own 
hands helped to shape and there to this 
day marked by a pile of stones sur- 



ings of the army. This first lesson in the 
uncertainties of the art of war must 
have made a lasting impression upon 
Washington. Old Fort Necessity was 
long the object of curiosity to visitors, 
but it has now almost entirely disap- 
peared ; only the lines of the old fort 
remain. About forty years ago a 
monument was dedicated, but was ni 
completed. Now the Daughters of the 
American Revolution propose to restore 
the old fort and to erect a monument. 



THE NEMACOLIN PATH. 



For many years the land whereon this 
early struggle occurred was owned by 
Washington. 

In 1755, General Edward Braddock 
led his army over this same mountain 
route. Owing to some difficulty regard- 
ing the rank of the colonial officers, 
Washington resigned but was finally in- 
duced to accompany Braddock as an aid. 
The story of this ill-fated expedition is 
too well known to be here narrated. 
From the time the imperious Braddock 
touched our shores until he received his 
death wounds upon the banks of the 
Monongahela he never ceased fuming 
and fretting and swearing. While he 
continually scoffed at Washington's ad- 
vice before the battle, it was to him that 
the haughty Briton gave the orders for 



been somewhat changed through the in- 
tensity of modern life, the landscape 
still forms a picture romantic enough to 
make the heart of an anchorite rejoice. 
Westward from Cumberland the scenery 
is delightful. The narrows a few miles 
beyond present as fine a picture as can 
be found anywhere; and still farther are 
Big Savage and Little Savage moun- 
tains which rear their heads majestically 
against the pale blue of the sky. The 
Big Crossingwiththe queer old-fashioned 
stone bridge on the line of the old 
National Pike soon catches the eye of 
the traveler. 

Now we are in the valley of the 
famous Yough. The bold mountains 
rise vindictively to hem in the dashing 
waters of this ornate mountain stream.

the retreat; and Washington read the 
burial service over the mistaken, wrong- 
headed leader's grave. 

Braddock's grave is on the old 
National Road not far from Fort 
Necessity, and here among the pictur- 
esque hills of Western Pennsylvania he 
sleeps on in silence. Dunbar's Camp is 
another historic place. Go to the moun- 
tains and there the pastoral sons will 
point out to you these places and recite 
to you their fascinating history. 

But aside from the flood of history, 
the country traversed by the line of the 
"Royal Blue'' in the Keystone State 
has other charms and beauties. Judea 
had no such verdant hills and the valley 
of the Nile is no more fertile. In early 
days this section was a wooded paradise, 
and while the face of the country has 



The Youghiogheny is famous in song as 
well as in story. Of "The Dare-Devil 
Yough " the bard has sung: 

"Where the bluff Alleghenies rise rugged and rough, 
And fetters and bars of a continent forge, 
There dashes defiant the dare-devil Yough, 
Through rocky ravine, deep dell and grim gorge. 
To this river I drink; for akin to my blood 
Is its torrent so bold, and so buoyant and free; 
Braving bowlder and crag with impetuous flood, 
As onward resistless it rolls to the sea." 

Here in the mountains are numerous 
attractions to pleasure seekers. Ohio 
Pyle and Markleton are famous resorts. 
This section is a paradise for the hunter 
and fisher and hundreds of sportsmen 
well know its charms. Back in the 
mountains a short distance is the cele- 
brated "Delaney's Cave" which has been 
explored for miles. The "White Rocks"

Farther to the west the line traverses 
the greatest coke region in the world. 
The Connellsville Coke Region has long 
held pre-eminence in the world of coke 
and to-day it maintains with ease its 
foremost position. As it nears Pitts- 
burg the line threads in and out of a

A LOCOMOTIVE SHOP. 



"DEKHAPS next to a great modern 
•*■ rail-mill under full blast at mid- 
night, with the thunderings of its might}' 
rolls, and the horrible dull-red glare of 
a hundred tons of red hot metal, an up- 
to-date monster railroad locomotive- 
erecting shop will hold and fascinate 
the mechanical genius by the very mag- 
nitude of the operations carried on 
within the plant. 

There was a time, less than twenty 
years ago, when the operations of a 
locomotive engine-building and repair 
shop were not nearly as marvelous or 
ponderous as they are to-day, but that 
was when the locomotive weighed one- 
half in tons, and developed but two- 
thirds the speed of the modern railway 
monster. In fact, we were then quite 
content to applaud such seemingly phe- 
nomenal speed as forty miles an hour, 
while to-day we grumblingly complain, 
under the stress of high-pressure civili- 
zation, of any rate of travel which 
hustles us between distant cities at less 
than sixty miles an hour. 

One of the most representative and 
interesting engine-erecting shops in 
America, outside of the great Baldwin 
Locomotive Works at Philadelphia, is 
the shop and plant of the Baltimore & 
Ohio Railroad Company, at Baltimore. 
Its chief interest lies in the multiplicity 
of new labor-saving devices and ma- 
chinery, which permit of a maximum 
output with a minimum amount of ardu- 
ous physical labor. In this plant every 
recent invention and facility, which has 
proven itself of strictly utilitarian value, 
has been introduced, and it is simply 
marvelous to the tyro in heavy mechan- 
ics to see how rapidly and expeditiously 
great eighty-ton engines can be thor- 
oughly overhauled and turned out in 
perfect running order. 

This particular building, which lies 
in a maze of machine shops, blacksmith 
shops, foundries and car works, all con- 
tributing their share to the needs of a 
vast railway system, is 384 feet in 
length, and seventy-three feet in width. 
Underneath the massive skylighted roof 
and within the four white walls, kept 



immaculately clean, are three equidis- 
tant longitudinal tracks, with long 
trenches or pits cut between the rails. 
The center track alone offers ingress and 
egress for the building, while the two 
side tracks are used almost exclusively 
for engines in various stages of con- 
struction and repair. Twenty of the 
great locomotives known as 1300's can 
be placed end to end on these two great 
tracks at one time. When an engine 
comes into this shop on the center track 
it is transferred quickly and tenderly to 
a designated berth on one of the side 
tracks by the aid of two great electric 
cranes, with a lifting capacity of more 
than fifty tons each. So easily is this 
accomplished that one almost fails to 
realize the tremendous output of power. 
In actual practice, when an engine comes 
into the shop for repair, the cranes may 
be at work on minor lifting jobs at oppo- 
site ends of the room. It should be 
stated that the}' are what are known as 
traveling cranes, or huge steel trusses, 
which reach from side to side of the 
narrow way of the building, and run 
back and forth on steel rails high up on 
each side wall. Each is operated by a 
single powerful electric motor, controlled 
through the skillful manipulations of a 
motorman who is suspended in a wire 
cage from the traveling truss. The mo- 
torman, by turning one little handle to 
the right, scurries up through the build- 
ing on the side rails; by turning 
another, the huge grapple or tackle 
slides from one side to the other of the 
building, and by still another, he lowers 
or raises the tackle. So it will be seen 
that every particular square inch in the 
building can be reached by the derrick. 
It is extremely fascinating to watch the 
motorman manage one of these giant 
derricks with apparently the same ease 
with which he draws each breath, and 
it is seldom that he does not engage in 
all three movements at the same time, 
hurrying up the room while the trans- 
verse car moves across to some selected 
spot, and the ponderous tackle slowly 
drops toward the floor, touching quite 
often upon the exact spot where lifting 



i6 



A LOCOMOTIVE SHOP. 



is to be done at the precise moment of 
cessation of all other movements of the 
machinery. 

It has been pointed out that when 
one of the huge locomotives is to be 
carried to a side track both derricks are 
required: on such occasions one derrick 
carries suspended an immense rectangu- 
lar steel frame which fits around the cab 
and under the rear end of the boiler, 
while the other carries a massive hempen 
rope loop which is passed around each 
end of the forward truck-frame. This 
rope is a curiosity in itself, composed as 
it is of hundreds of perfectly straight 
strands of hempen string, and covered 



difficulty, and the life of such a cable is 
many times that of any other form here- 
tofore employed. 

The actual manufacture of the vari- 
ous and intricate parts of a locomotive 
takes place in the surrounding shops, 
where the specialized machinery is so 
intricate that nothing short of a treatise 
on locomotive building would permit 
one to describe it, and in the erecting- 
shop only are these separate parts, com- 
ing from all directions, assembled into a 
complete and perfect engine, ready to 
go out upon the road and travel a hundred 
thousand miles or more before the neces- 
sity arises for overhauling and repair. 




LIFTED FROM IT:

with heavy burlap, and held in place by 
a single spiral wind of similar cord. It 
is said that this cable is the final out- 
come of exhaustive experimentation by 
the Baldwin Locomotive Works, for the 
best material to suspend the tremendous 
dead weight of forty tons. It seems 
that steel and twisted and woven rope 
cables are entirely unsuitable, the first 
having an extreme tendency to curl and 
tie itself into unmanageable knots, and 
the second invariably breaking after short 
use by the tangential strains produced 
in the fibres which do not run in the 
direction of the pull. The great mass of 
perfectly straight fibres obviates this 



In putting an engine together or 
overhauling it after it has run its time 
limit, the erecting-shop performs its 
functions through the aid of steam, cold- 
water and air-pressure pipes and pneu- 
matically-driven machinery, leaving all 
the heavy lathe work, cylinder-boring, 
etc.. to their respective departments 
outside. Perhaps the greatest econo- 
mizers of time and labor are the various 
pneumatic devices to be seen in this 
shop. Ever}' inch of steel and iron is 
drilled by the pneumatic-engine drill in 
place of the old-fashioned and laborious 
hand-ratchet drill. It is said that this 
drill which simply races through the

iron, driven by the rotary air motor, is 
capable of doing three or four times the 
amount of work performed by the old- 
fashioned method. And again, the 
pneumatic hand hammer and chisel 
which are in constant use lure, are the 
most unique inventions of the age, 
accomplishing as they do almost auto- 
matically, guided only by the hand of 
an operator, the riveting of boiler-plates 
together, the cutting out of dozens of 
flues in the boiler, or calking new flues 
into place with a rapidity which is simply 



or particular skill of hand is required 
of the man who climbs through the 
narrow fire box door to tighten up a 
m 1 of tubes, trailing behind him as he- 
goes, a little hose-pipe carrying ninety 
pounds to the square inch of com- 
pressed air. He places the machine in 
contact with the raw, projecting edge, 
presses a little button, and, in the 
shocking din created by the lightning 
blows, moves the implement round and 
round, the edge of the steel taking on a 
smooth and finished surface apparently

astounding. As one steps inside the 
erecting-shop to-day the deafening re- 
verberations of sixty blows a second from 
these riveters and hammers and calkers 
playing on the empty boiler shells greet 
the ear with an incessant roar, in place 
of the old bang, bang, of the hand ham- 
mer. Instead of requiring ten minutes 
to drive down the projecting end of a 
quarter-inch steel flue so that it shall be 
absolutely steam tight, only fifteen 
seconds are needed by the operator to- 
day to produce a far better finished 
piece of calking. No precision of eye 



as easily as one would mold a bit 
of wax. 

The last stage in the assembling 
operation before the engine leaves the 
erecting-shop for its trial run upon the 
tracks of the outside yard, is the care- 
ful testing of the boilers under cold- 
water pressure and then under steam. 
and perhaps even the speeding of the 
machinery itself while suspended in the 
air by the electric cranes. 

The Mount Clare shops boast the 
proud record of having turned out the 
earliest of American steam locomot

and of having been the seat, for years 
and years, of the greatest activity in rail- 
road equipment. Over 800 engines 
have been completely built within its 
walls, and it is only within very recent 
years that this company has availed 
itself of the assistance of outside firms 
in construction work, and, while their 



latest innovation in wonderful high- 
speed engines, known as 1300's. were 
constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive 
Works, the working plans and designs 
and specifications were the outcome of 
years of careful training of the engineer 
corps of the Baltimore & Ohio Com- 
pany. William Dinwiddie. 



MARK TWAIN'S ELEPHANT RIDE. 



TO the elephant stables and I took 
a ride, but it was by request — I 
did not ask for it, and I did not want it, 
but I took it because otherwise they 
would have thought I was afraid, which 
I was. The elephant kneels down by 
command — one end of him at a time — 
and you climb the ladder and get into 
the howdah, and then he gets up, one 
end at a time, just as a ship gets up over a 
wave; and after that, as he strides mon- 
strously about, his motion is much like 
a ship's motion. The mahout bores into 
the back of his head with a great iron 
prod, and you wonder at his temerity 



and at the elephant's patience, and you 
think that perhaps the patience will not 
last; but it does, and nothing happens. 
The mahout talks to the elephant in a 
low voice all the time, and the elephant 
seems to understand it all and to be 
pleased with it, and he obeys every 
order in the most contented and docile 
way. Among these twenty-five elephants 
were two which were larger than any I 
had ever seen before, and if I had thought 
I could learn to not be afraid I would 
have taken one of them while the police 
were not looking. 



SANDY'S SALVATION. 



a AN' hoo's the guid wife, Sandy!" 
-^*- said one farmer to another, as 
they met in the market place and ex- 
changed snuff boxes. 

"Did ye no hear that she's dead and 
buried?'' said Sandy solemnly. 

"Dear me!" exclaimed his friend 
sympathetically. "Surely it must have 
been very sudden?" 

"Aye, it was sudden," returned San- 
dy. "Ye see, when she turned ill we 



hadna time to send for the doctor, sae 
I gied her a bit pouther that I had lying 
in my drawer for a year or twa, an' that 
I had got frae the doctor mysel', but 
hadna ta'en. What the pouther was I 
dinna verra weel ken, but she died soon 
after. It's a sair loss to me, I can 
assure ye, but it's something to be 
thankfu' for I didna tak' the pouther 
mysel'." — Spare Moments. 




BEARDSLKVISM. 



COME claim it is original, and some claim it is not; 

Some find it is just natural, but most think it is rot. 
Perhaps it is Dutch Gothic art that's over Japanesed. 
Perhaps 'tis pre-Raphaelism most awfully diseased. 
But in my humble ignorance of all that touches art, — 
The Bible having taught me to give each one his part, — 
I've come to this conclusion: that this ,; art's'' origin 
May safely be accredited to whisky or to gin !

MY SPECTRAL ANNIVERSARY. 



TjMETEEN years ago to-night! Why 
*■ do these sad and fearful memories, 
with fiendish persistence, celebrate the 
anniversary of the one ghastly tragedy 
in my life? With constricted heart I 
sit lure in my big easy chair, the smoke 
of my cigarette slowly thickening the at 
mosphere of the small sanctum, medi- 
tating over the disastrous finish of that 
memorable year's work. As the mental 
spectres pass before me, act by act, a 
shuddering horror creeps into my heart, 
and I hear, with almost as vivid reality 
as on the day of its occurrence, the fatal 
crack, crack, crack of a Winchester, and 
see, with blanched face, two of my com- 
rades through three years of pleasure 
and hardship, sink backward into the 
boat — one never to speak, and the other 
only to murmur, "Colin, he hit me; I 
am going to die.'' It overpowers me, 
and I rise from the chair in terror and 
hurriedly raise the shade of the window 
and gaze out upon the wet and slippery 
street ; the peaceful homeward-scurry- 
ing pedestrians bring ease to my high- 
strung nerves. 

Perhaps this is not the way to tell a 
story properly, but I am unstrung to- 
night, and the perpetration of that das- 
tardly outrage in a so-called civilized 
country so shocks me whenever I dare 
dwell upon it that I forget the reader 
and the logical sequence of the tale. 

It was while prosecuting government 
work on the Atlantic coast-line south 
ward from the capital of the United 
States, that two of my party so tragic- 
ally lost their lives, owing to my almost 
criminal negligence in not carrying the 
proper weapons of defense. I may say 
in self extenuation that it had been my 
custom in all previous field research to 
go pretty constantly armed, rather mod- 



estly in the East, with only a gun in my 
hip pocket and a rifle conveniently 
handy, but out in the far West — my na- 
tive country — I carry my six-shooter 
openly, strung to a formidable array of 
brass cartridges buckled around my 
waist. It is not in the least my wisli to 
convey the impression to the reader that 
I am an aggressive or blood-thirsty man, 
but merely to point out to him the moral 
and persuasive influence of a good gun 
in preventing evil-disposed persons from 
doing you bodily injury. Truthfully, I 
do not believe that I could hit a man if 
I tried, for I am not clever on the draw, 
and then I should feel some compunc- 
tion in trying , it is, nevertheless, a 
great comfort to feel that you are armed, 
and to sit and speculate on what you 
would do if a highwayman held you up, 
or some prowling thief came round the 
camp at night. 

There were eight members of the 
party, all hard-working, earnest young 
fellows struggling for scientific fame, 
and all Easterners with the exception of 
myself, who constantly ridiculed me for 
carrying arms in such a gentle country, 
as they were pleased to call it. It was 
all right to call it a gentle country, and 
one where field men never got into 
trouble. I never contradicted their 
statements ; the carrying of arms was 
simply the habit of years, strong upon 
me for I never felt quite clothed with- 
out my pocket armament. For two 
years of this coast work I withstood 
their onslaughts of fun, jeers and criti- 
cism, until, thick-skinned and Scotch as 
I am, it made enough impression to 
cause me to doubt the advisability of 
longer carrying weapons. I gave up 
carrying a pocket piece, and my rifle 
was oftener left in camp than carried in 



M Y SPECTRAL ANNIVERSARY. 



the sail-boat with us, for from necessity 
we worked by water. For several 
months I felt like a poor defenseless 
man, and I could not resist croaking at 
the rest of the men over and over again, 
saving, "You fellows will find out 
some day that you will need a gun,'' to 
which they invariably replied with a 
laugh something about that man -'who 
lived to fight another day. ' 

My prophecy was fulfilled at last, 
for the tragedy came near the end of a 
long hard field season, just as visions of 
civilization, happy homes and sweet- 
hearts were revolving in our heads, with 
problems in trigonometry and triangula- 
tion. Our hearts were quite stampeded 
by a wild desire to get back home ; a 
tremendous longing which fills ever}' 
man's soul who has lived for months in 
camp and suddenly realizes that he is 
almost ready to be translated from the 
roughness of outdoor life and the camp 
kitchen to the gentle and softening influ- 
ences of conventional culture and delect- 
able dinners in courses. 

How dear to the heart of man is the 
feeling that he may be wild and free ; 
that he need only wash his face and 
hands once a week, if he likes, or that 
he may go around in a woolen shirt and 
no coat at his own sweet will ; but how 
infinitely dearer is the overpowering 
sensation, after months of this life, that 
he is again near the realm of dress suits 
and starched linen. 

\Ye were working up one of those 
beautiful sequestered estuaries, in which 
the southern Atlantic coast abounds, 
where many of them penetrate miles in- 
land before the head of tidewater is 
reached. This one was particularly 
fascinating, for it wound in and out, 
presenting to us at even' bend new 
vistas and panoramas, each succeeding 
view seeming more charming than the 
former. No bold bluffs with hard out- 
lines, but softly rounded hills, met the 
eye, with the waters running backward 
into rounded reentrants; then again the 
main stream was narrowed by the fine- 
ly curved shore lines, and short spits 
of golden sand crowned their forward 
reaches. Heavy forests came down to 
the water's edge everywhere, with now 
and then a tree laden with long pendant 
mosses, whose pleasant grays inter- 
mingled and contrasted harmoniously 



with the darker greens of neighboring 
foliage. 

Out on the Atlantic a howling wind 
was blowing — the last throes of a mighty 
storm — but here the wind had lost its 
fierceness and had made love to the trees 
until it only caressed the sails of our 
tiny boat with a wayward fitfullness, al- 
most as a fickle man might a woman he 
had loved before he found a dearer. The 
capriciousness of the zephyrs that day I 
remember were particularly in accord 
with my spirits, for I had given way to 
vain memories, and thought only of a 
fair creature, Ah! who so tenderly loved 
the world — and myself between times — 
but that is past. So it was but meet 
and fit that at one moment we were drif- 
ting quietly, without a ripple upon the 
water, and in the next scurrying ahead 
in imminent danger of capsizal. The 
thought would creep into my heart, how 
much happier it might have been, for 
one of us at least, if the waters had al- 
ways been dimpled with smiles! 

We had nearly reached the upper 
limits of navigation, for even our small 
boat, and were selecting a spot to go 
ashore, when to our astonishment a man 
appeared upon the beach, in this silent 
wilderness, a short distance to the left 
of the landing chosen. The helm was 
shifted enough to take us to him; it 
would have been far better if our little 
craft had not obeyed so readily. One 
of the poor fellows sprang to the rail 
and shouted, "Fine day, sir. I trust 
you are well? Where do you hail from? 
Are you shipwrecked?" at which we all 
laughed, but the man's face remained 
stolid and immobile, and by no objective 
demonstration did he give an} - indica- 
tion that he had heard this half impolite 
pleasantry. When we were within fifty 
yards of the shore, however, he came to 
life and shouted in a deep bass voice, 
•'Say! You' uns cawnt come ashore 
he'ah." He was promptly met with the 
response from his hailer in the bow, 
"Why not? We are Government offi- 
cers, (throwing a hand upwards towards 
our little stars and stripes waving at the 
masthead) and we will go where we 
like," finishing the sentence in a nettled 
voice. 

The inhuman wretch merely replied, 

"I'll be d d if you do," and turned 

and ran up the bank into the woods a

few yards, apparently disappearing be- 
hind a natural embankment. Almost at 
the instant of his disappearance came the 
ringing report of his rifle, and Clifton, 
with a spasmodic shudder, clung to the 
mast a second, and then pitched heavily 
backward into the bottom of the boat, 
never again to speak. We all rose in- 
stinctively, and then came the second 
shot, Sheridan, who stood beside me, 
gasping, "Oh! Colin he hit me; 1 am 
going to die!" 

I laid him down, noting the dimness 
of unconsciousness come into his eyes, 
the quivering of the eyelids and the 
wanness of the face, and wondering if 
like phenomena were exhibited in all 
dying men. My mind was staggered by 
the suddenness of the blow and dealt 
only with minutiae. The next crack of 
the rifle I heard only blankly, as I gazed 
in his dying face. It was only for an 
instant, of course; then came the sten- 
torian howl of the boatman, "Lie down 
in the boat! Pull in that foresail," 
which brought me back to our surround- 
ings and a just appreciation of the 
peril before us. 

The sails were pulled in with a rush, 
and the boat heeled over until her rail 
was under water from the strength of a 
sudden flaw. To our terrified senses it 
seemed minutes before she got under 
headway, but when once she found a 
footing we fairly flew under the close- 
hauled sails ; a good Providence held 
the wind strong until we were far be- 
yond the range of bullets, and they 
skipped over the water harmlessly be- 
hind us. There would have been two 
happier homes to-day if their com- 
panions had been as merciful. 

That murderous man, discovering 
that we were unarmed and had turned 
tail, dared to come down on the sandy 
beach, in open sight, and there poured 
a rain of rapidly pumped lead until his 
rifle's magazine was exhausted. As I 
watched him in the agony of passing 



minutes, dodging downward at the flash 
of each shot, my soul made a solemn 
vow, that never again, as long as life 
remained to me, would I go unarmed. 
I could have killed that man with my 
heavy rifle then, for I felt cold and 
bloodless as an avenger. But that is all 
gone now, for years ago with a heart 
welling up with a mixture of hatred and 
joy, I saw him drop with sufficient force 
to break his neck, and conjectured, as 
he dangled in the air, whether his eyes 
became insensible and his eyelids 
drooped behind the black silk cap. 

That is nearly all of the story, for 
why recall the sad memories of how we, 
men who had never before seen death, 
tenderly laid out our two boys in the tent 
that night, and carried them next day, 
side by side, in the bottom of our boat, 
some thirty miles to a steamer wharf, on 
the outside bay. 

Even the rough and grimy wharf- 
men, who wheeled the plain boxes in 
rumbling trucks to the steamer's deck, 
brushed away the tears when they 
learned how two mothers' hearts were 
broken, and that one of them had loved 
a dear little girl with soft blue eyes and 
golden hair, who would never again 
greet him in life. 

The murderer was one of a gang of 
moonshiners on whose territory we were 
ruthlessly encroaching. That one petu- 
lant remark of Clifton's about our being 
Government men provoked it all, for 
the prisoner, as lie stood upon the dock, 
remarked, "If them durned fools hadn't 
scaared me with their Gover'ment bluff, 
I would not be he'ah to day." He 
thought we were Revenue Officers come 
to raid his stronghold, and he defended 
it. A posse of United States Marshals 
and Deputy Sheriffs captured, a week 
after our sad journey home, some eight 
manufacturers of illicit whiskey, and all 
of them with one exception are serving 
time in the penitentiary.

IN A JANUARY THAW. 



\ LL the world was dark and dripping, 
-^*- And the skies were drear and dun, 
And ni)' soul was chilled within me, 

For I longed to see the sun; 
And the snow was soiled and sodden, 

And the air was damp and raw, 
When I met my dainty darling 

In a January thaw. 

First I chanced to see an ankle 

In a gaiter, trim and neat, 
And a silken skirt uplifted 

As she crossed the muddy street; 
Then a lip of laughing scarlet, 

And a brow without a flaw. 
And a cheek of summer roses — 

In a January thaw. 

There was ice upon the pavement, 

And she slipped in passing by ; 
But I saved her, and she thanked me 

In a manner sweet and shy, 
And my pulses thrilled with pleasure — 

Ah, we neither of us saw 
Cupid, with his bow and arrow, 

In a January thaw. 

Other lovers 'mid the lilies 

In the dusk may plight their troth, 
Or upon the moonlit beaches 

By the ocean's foam and froth ; 
But my love and I together 

By the same enchanted law 
Pledged our hearts unto each other 

In a January thaw. Minna Irving. 



STORY OF THE CAPTURE OF HARPER'S FERRY. 



TT is only a glance that the traveler 
■*■ obtains of John Brown's monument 
at Harper's Ferry as the train either 
starts on its journey over the mountains 
on its west bound course or conns down 
from the mountains on its way to the 
east. To many, the sight of the plain 
shaft is nothing new, but the interest is 
always the same. Now the accustomed 
traveler gazes from the car windows 
with renewed interest. Other monu- 
ments have been placed there commem- 
orative of the great battles which were 
fought within the period of five days, 
for the possession of this natural gate- 
way to the mountain passes. 

Five iron tablets erected by the 
United States Government tell the story, 
in raised iron letters, of these battles. 
The tablets, like the leaves of an open 
book, invite the traveler to step from the 
train and read, and ponder over the exi- 
gencies of war as he speeds to destina- 
tion. The story is briefly told on the 
tablets: 

Tablet i reads as follows: 

"September ioth, 1862, General R. 
E. Lee, commanding the armv of Nor- 
thern Virginia, then at Frederick Md., 
set three columns in motion to capture 
Harper's Ferry. Maj.-Gen. L. McLaws, 
with his own division and that of Maj.- 
Gen. R. H. Anderson, marched through 
Middletown and Brownsville Pass into 
Pleasant Valley. On the 12th the bri- 
gade of Kershaw and Barksdale ascended 
Maryland Heights by Solomon's Gap, 
moved along the crest and at nightfall 
were checked by the Union forces, under 
command of Col. T. H. Ford, about two 
miles north of this. 

"Eight Confederate brigades held 
Weverton, Sandy Hook and approaches 
from the east. On the 13th Kershaw 
ami Barksdale drove the Union forces 
from the Heights. Ford, abandoning 
si\ en guns, retreated across the pontoon 
bridge, a few yards wide, above the rail- 
road bridge, to Harper's Ferry. The 
Union loss was 38 killed and 134 wound- 
ed; Confederates, 35 killed and 178 
wounded. 

"Brig. -Gen. James G. Walker's divi- 
sion crossed the Potomac at Point of 



Rocks, 18 miles below llarper's Ferry, 
the night of September ioth, and on the 
13th occupied Loudon Heights on the 
roads south of the river leading east and 
south." 

No. 2 reads: 

"Maj.-Gen. Thomas J. Jackson, with 
his own division and those of Maj.-Gen. 
A. P. Hill and R. S. Ewell, left Fred- 
erick on the morning of September ioth, 
and passed through Middletown and 
Boonesboro, crossed the Potomac at 
Williamsport, 21 miles north of this, on 
the afternoon of the nth. Hill's divi- 
sion took the direct road to Martinsburg 
and bivouacked near it. Jackson's and 
Ewell's divisions marched to North 
Mountain Depot, on the Baltimore & 
Ohio Railroad, seven miles north of 
Martinsburg, and bivouacked, 

"During the night Brig. -Gen. John 
White, commanding the Union forces at 
Martinsburg, 2,500 in number, aban- 
doned the place and retreated to Har- 
per's Ferry. Jackson occupied Martins- 
burg on the morning of the 12th, passed 
through it, and about noon of the 13th 
A. P. Hill's division in the advance, 
reached Halltown, three and one-fourth 
miles west of this, and went into camp. 
Jackson's and Ewell's division, following 
Hill's, camped near it." 

Tablet No. 3 reads: 

"Col. Dixon S. Miles, Second Uni- 
ted States Infantry, commanding the 
Union forces at Harper's Ferry. After 
General White joined him from Martins- 
burg September 12th, and Colonel Ford, 
from Maryland Heights, on the 13th, 
Miles had about 14,200 men. On the 
morning of the 14th the greater part of 
the force was in position on Bolivar 
Heights, one and five-eighth miles west, 
its right resting on the Potomac, its left 
on the Shenandoah, artillery distributed 
along the line Artillery and a small 
force of infantry occupied Camp Hill, 
nearly midway between this and Bolivar 
Heights. The cavalry was under partial 
cover of the irregularity of the ground. 

"On the morning of the 14th Walker 
placed five lonti range guns near north 
point of Loudon Heights, and at 1.00 
p. m. opened fire on the Union batteries

on Bolivar and Camp Hill, which was re- 
plied to. An hour later Jackson's artil- 
lery opened on Bolivar Heights from 
School-House Hill, and still an hour 
later McLaws opened from two Parrott 
guns, that he had succeeded in placing 
near the south extremity of Maryland 
Heights. This fire from three directions 
was continued until dark, silencing and 
dismantling some of the Union guns." 

No. 4 says: 

"In the afternoon of the 14th Jack- 
son's division advanced its left, seized 
the commanding ground near the Poto- 
mac and established artillery upon it. 
Hill's division moved obliquely from 
Halltown to the right until it struck the 
Shenandoah, then pushed along the 
river; the advance, after some sharp 
skirmishing late in the night, gained 
high ground, upon which were some 
artillery. Ewell's division advanced 
through Halltown to School-House Hill 
and deployed about one mile in front of 
Bolivar Heights, bivouacking on either 
side of the Charlestown road. During 
the night the Confederates advanced on 
the right and left, gaining some ground, 
and 10 guns of Ewell's division crossed 
the Shenandoah at Key's Ford and were 
placed on the plateau at the front of 
Loudon Heights to enfilade the Union 
forces on Bolivar Heights. 

"About 9.00 p. m. the entire Union 
cavalry, about 1.500 men, crossed the 



pontoon bridge, passing up the bank 
about a mile, followed the mountain 
road near the river, crossed the Antie- 
tam near its mouth, passed through 
Sharpsburg about midnight, and escaped 
into Pennsylvania." 

No. 5: 

"At daylight September 15th, three 
batteries of Jackson's division delivered 
a severe fire against the right of the 
Bolivar Heights defenses. Ewell's bat- 
teries opened from School- House Hill 
in front. Hill's five batteries, on ground 
commanding the left of the line, and the 
10 guns across the Shenandoah poured 
an accurate enfilade fire upon the left 
and rear of Miles' defenses. The artil- 
lery on Loudon Heights and the Mary- 
land Heights joined in the attack. The 
concentrated fire of 56 guns was re- 
sponded to by the Union guns, but in an 
hour, beginning to run short of ammuni- 
tion, Miles raised the white flag in token 
of surrender. Soon after he was mortally 
wounded and the command devolved on 
General White, who completed the 
terms of capitulation by the surrender 
of about 12,500 officers and men and all 
the public property. Hill's division was 
left to parole the prisoners, while Jack- 
son, with five divisions, marched to the 
field of Antietam. Exclusive of the loss 
of Maryland Heights, the Union loss 
was 9 killed and 39 wounded; Confed- 
erates 6 killed and 6g wounded." 



IN MARYLAND. 



TN Maryland, in Maryland. 

All loves are warm as embers ; 
Her daughters' eyes, her daughters' 
sighs, 
How well my heart remembers ! 
And, oh, my love, from your dear mouth, 

The while I touch your tresses, 

To hear the cadence of the south, 

Whose words are like caresses ! 

In Maryland, in Maryland, 

The hours are made for suing. 
And hearts are light and eyes are bright 

With witcheries of wooing ; 
But oh, the skies are cold and gray 

That northward sweep above you, 
And maids have not learned how to say 

As she can say "I love you." 



In Maryland, in Maryland, 

To all my homeward yearning, 
My heart goes forth from out the north, 

To her enchantments turning ; 
And oh, the longing and the pain. 

Her errant sons assailing, 
At dawn in southern skies again 

To see the gold stars paling ! 

In Maryland, in Maryland, 

Awaits my lass so slender. 
Till I shall haste to clasp her waist 

And hear her greeting tender ; 
And oh, the bliss to steal a kiss, 

Soft creeping up behind her, 
In Maryland, in Maryland. 

Returning home to find her !

THEN AND NOW 



'"THERE are more believers to-day 
-*- than there were yesterday, that the 
air-ship will be the rival of all other 
methods of transportation in the future. 
Be that as it may. we have only to turn 
to the files of daily newspapers pub- 
lished in this country since the year 
i8oo, and be amazed at the strides of 
civilization and invention in a little more 
than fifty years. 

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad com- 
mencing the great battle for commer- 
cial activity in the "20's," to-day is 
fully equipping itself in new steel armor 
and modern weapons of commercial 
warfare, and using every new and worthy 
invention to promote advancement in 
the science of business. Looking back- 
ward to the daily newspaper columns of 
the "30's," after this road had estab- 
lished some business, there was printed 
in the Richmond, Ya., Enquirer, under 
date of October 22, 1830, the following 
astounding statement of prosperity: 

BALTIMORE & OHIO RAILROAD. 

The Fourth Annual Report concerning this 
great enterprise has just been made; and from its 
statements, the most sanguine anticipations seem 
to be indulged that the work will be accomplished, 
and when accomplished will be profitable. A semi- 

annual dividend is t.. be declared on the 1st of 
January next. The Reporl states these facts: 

"The first division oi the Road was opened for 
transportation of passengers on May 22d, 1830; but 
the preparation of the necessary cars was not com- 
pleted till the early part of June following; front 
which time the traveling upon this division, includ- 
ing a distance oi about thirteen miles, has been con- 
stant and uninterrupted; and on the first of October 
there had been received CWENT'V rHOUSAND 

AND I \\ 1 1 \ 1 Ik (LLARS, although but a 
singli track was completed and thi nj were 

not in a situation, until within a short time past, 
to undertake the transportation of any merchan- 
1 produce, and are still unable to convey 
ONE- 1 EN 111 PAR I OF THE 1 'I AN 11 IV 
THAI' IS OFFERED." 



Under date of March 24, 1831, the 
same paper prints in detail the heavy 
tonnage of the Road, predicting that 
the daily increased tonnage would surely 
be the mother of some newer invention 
of transportation: 

NEW TRIUMPH OI I III RAILROAD.— 
The load on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has 
been increased from one to TWO HUNDRED 
BARRELS OP FLOUR, and one horse has suc- 
ceeded in drawing the whole. The particulars so 
interesting to all the Friends of Internal Improve- 
ment at this time, are thus detailed in the Baltimore 
American of the -'i si 

" The experiment of the transportation of TWO 
HUNDRED BARRELS OF FLOUR with a 
SING! 1 HORSE, was made on the Railroad on 
Saturday with the most triumphant success. The 
flour was deposited in a train of right cars, and 

made, together with the cars ind passengers who 

rode on them, an entire load ol thirty tons, \i/ 

zoo Barrels of flour, - 20 tons. 
8 cars, - - - - 8 " 

Passengers, - 2 ' 

30 tons. 
"The train was drawn by one horse from Elli- 
COttS Mills to the Relay House, six and a half miles, 
in forty-six minutes. The horse was then changed, 
and the train having set out, reached the Depot on 
Pratt Street in sixty-nine minutes — thus accomplish, 
ing the thirteen miles in one hour and fifty-five min- 
1 ol six and three-fourths miles per 
hour. Tin 1 reen the Relaj House ami the 

depot is a perfect level, except at the three deep 
excavations where an elevation of seventeen to 
twenty feet per mile has been resorted to for the 
purpose oi drainage. The horse, except at the 
points just alluded to, brought the train along at a 
moderate trot and apparently without an) extraor- 
dinary labour; lie is not remarkable, ami was not 
selected for any peculiar powers ol draft, and had 
med a regular trip outwards <>n the morning 
of Saturday. A numerous concourse of citizens and 
strangers witnessed the arrival of the train at the 
Depot, and although they looked for the accom- 
plishment oi the experiment as a matter of course, 
many of them were nevertheless, unable to refrain 
from loudly testifying their admiration at the ease 
and celerity with which it was effected. It is. we 
only a week ago tli.u we noticed the fact of 
the transportation of seventy-five barrels ol hour 
by one horse, as a circumstance worthy of remark 
in comparison with the number <>f horses required 



THEN AND NO W. 



for the conveyance of a load of a tew barrels over a 
turn-pike road. The experience which we have 
detailed above shows, that on Saturday a single 
horse drew three times as large a load; and there is 
no doubt that horses could be found who could with 
the same ease transport a load of three hundred 
barrels. And if such results as these can be accom- 
plished by the power of a single horse, who will 
undertake to calculate the capacity of our railroad, 
either for heavy transportation or great rapidity, or 
both combined, when locomotive engines of the 
most improved construction constitute the moving 
power." 



If the writer of that article should 
have mentioned electricity as a power 
for the movement of trains, he would no 
doubt have been laughed at by his fel- 
low editors who were not so foresighted. 
Since then steam has been tried in near- 
ly all of its various forms in locomotion. 
The great engines which now can haul 
trains of perhaps 1,500 tons, not counting 
their own weight, and at the rate of 
thirty -five to forty miles per hour, 
would, perhaps, have staggered even 
this prophetic editor. Then what would 
he have thought should he have seen 
one of the ninety-six ton electric loco- 
motives of the Baltimore & Ohio Kail 
road of to-day gliding gently up to the 
loaded freight train of forty-five cars, 
with a great mogul engine and pusher, 
coupling on and with but little effort, no 
violent puffing from a smoke-stack, no 
cloud of smoke or shower of cinders, 
steadily pulling this great weight up a 
heavy grade and over a hill with no 
noise of machinery of any kind. 

Now as to speed, we quote from the 



American Railroad Journal, of January 7, 
1832: 

From the experiments made upon the Baltimore 
and Ohio Railroad, there is no reason to doubt but 
that the travelling on it may at least be safely car- 
ried at the rate of from 12 to 15 miles per hour, by 
the aid of steam power, and that passengers may be 
conveyed from Baltimore to the Ohio river within 
from 24 to 30 hours, at all seasons of the year. 

[The above item is taken from the report of 
Mr. P. E. Thomas, President of the B. & O. R. R. 
to the Governor of the state of Maryland, dated 
Dec. 20th, 1831. — Editor.] 

■'Twelve to fifteen miles an hour." 
The average man nowadays is invariably 
loud in his denunciation of a railroad 
which carries him to his business at less 
than forty -five miles an hour, and ex- 
pects sixty miles an hour when he is on 
a limited. Again quoting from the same 
Journal of February 18, 1S32, we find a 
daily report of tonnage. 

TRANSPORTATION ON THE BALTIMORE 
AND OHIO RAILROAD, MONDAY

To give a daily report of tonnage to- 
day is a matter of absolute impossibility, 
but some idea of comparison can be ob- 
tained from the total tonnage carried 
by the B. & O. for the fiscal year ending 
June 30, 1897, which was approximately 
19,000,000 tons.

STEALING RAILROAD ENGINES.

A MONG the earliest and most per- 
-^*- plexing problems that confronted 
the Confederate leaders in the civil war 
was that of railroad transportation. The 
territory controlled by them at the be- 
ginning of the struggle — roughly speak 
ing, that lying south of the Potomac — 
was threaded by numerous railways, the 
equipment of which was fully equal to 
the requirements of peace traffic; but 
when war came and there were masses 
of men, horses, food, ordnance and 



The plan based on the axiom that 
'•all is fair in love and war," was nothing 
more or less than that of seizing tin- 
rolling stock of a northern road and ap- 
propriating it to use on the southern lines, 
which included the Raleigh and Gaston, 
from Raleigh. North Carolina, to near 
Petersburgh, Virginia; the North Caro- 
lina Central, from Raleigh to Charlotte, 
North Carolina, and the Virginia Cen- 
tral, from Gordonville, Virginia, to Rich- 
mond. 




ammunition to be moved, the lack of 
sufficient rolling stock became at once 
apparent. The southern railroads had 
a few shops, it is true, but their com- 
bined facilities were not equal to the 
manufacture of half the rolling stock 
needed. Where were the much needed 
locomotives, cars and machinery to come 
from ? European markets were out of the 
question and northern shops equally so, 
for obvious reasons, even supposing that 
the requisite funds had been forthcom- 
ing. Invention, lashed by stern neces- 
sity, soon found a way out of the dilem- 
ma, at once simple, bold and effective, 
though not unattended with difficulty 
and danger. 



The successful carrying out of this 
scheme forms a unique and exciting chap- 
ter, which has been but little touched 
upon by war historians. It is the pur- 
pose of the present article to describe 
this remarkable movement or rather 
series of movements (for the accom- 
plishment of the plan covered nearly 
two years), and it is believed the recital 
will prove highly interesting news to 
the readers of this generation. 

In June. 1861, the Confederate forces 
undei General Joseph E. Johnston, oc- 
cupied Harper's Ferry, controlling the 
Baltimore and Ohio railroad from Point 
of Rocks, a few miles south of Harper's 
Ferry, to a considerable distance west

of Martinsburgh. The Union forces 
under General Patterson, were between 
the Potomac and the Pennsylvania line. 
Smiling fortune could hardly have fash- 
ioned a situation more favorable to the 
plans of the Confederates, covetous of 
northern locomotives, for right be- 
tween the hostile lines, and yet gener- 
ally within the grasp of the southern 
forces, ran the Baltimore and Ohio rail- 
road, a prosperous trunk line of standard 
gauge, extending from Baltimore to St. 
Louis and completely equipped with 
first-class rolling stock, while at Martins- 
burgh, only thirty-eight miles from the 
nearest southern railroad, and but eigh- 
teen miles from Winchester, which the 
Confederates at that time held without 
dispute, was the terminus of one of the 
divisions of this trunk line, with shops 
and roundhouse, a point of assembly 
and distribution for cars and engines. 

Getting possession of this coveted 
material was but a matter of protecting 
skilled workmen while they vanquished 
mechanical difficulties. That these diffi- 
culties were by no means small will be 
seen from the statement that the sole 
means of transporting the prizes from 
Martinsburgh, the point whence most of 
them were taken, to Strasburgh, Vir- 
ginia, where they could be placed on 
the tracks of the Manassas Gap rail- 
road, was by way of Winchester over a 
turnpike. 

It is generally conceded that the idea 
of taking the Baltimore and Ohio rolling 
stock originated with Colonel Thomas 
R. Sharp, at the time of the occurrences 
narrated captain and acting quartermas- 
ter in the Confederate army. He was a 
civil engineer by profession and a thor- 
ough railroad man, self-reliant and re- 
sourceful. Most of the facts given are 
obtained from J. E. Duke, now residing 
in Cumberland, Maryland, and in 1861 
Colonel Sharp's confidential clerk. Mr. 
Duke, who enlisted in the arm}- from 
Jefferson County, Virginia, was detailed 
for duty in the quartermaster's depart- 
ment, was present when some of the 
locomotives were taken and was more 
or less identified with the entire move- 
ment. His memory has been refreshed 
and his facts substantiated from other 
sources when thought necessary. 

The necessity for obtaining the rail- 
road material in the manner described 



created a special organization, entirely 
separate and distinct from the military, 
though, of course, co-operating with 
them, and which, while working under 
authority of the quartermaster general's 
office at Richmond, might have been 
christened the "railroad corps." The 
part taken by the military in the locomo- 
tive seizures was merely that of furnish- 
ing protection. The armed forces in- 
vested and picketed the country and left 
the railroad men free to operate. 

In speaking of the Baltimore & Ohio 
as a "Northern" road, the term is used 
broadly, as distinguishing the line from 
those lying entirely within what was at 
that period of the war a Confederate 
territory. Geographically speaking, a 
good portion of the road traversed the 
border between the military North and 
South. It was frequently in the hands 
of both armies, though the Confederates 
inflicted nearly, if not all, the damage 
upon the road during the struggle. 

In June, 1861, "Stonewall" Jackson, 
acting under the orders of General 
Johnston, went to Martinsburgh and 
burned a number of cars and engines 
belonging to the Baltimore and Ohio 
road. The locomotives were but slight- 
ly injured (only the woodwork having 
been damaged), and were among those 
afterward carried off by the "railroad 
corps." 

The first capture of locomotives took 
place at Martinsburgh on a bright morn- 
ing in July, 1861. Everything having 
been previously arranged, the forces se- 
lected to do this work, consisting of about 
thirty-five men, including six machinists, 
detailed from the ranks, ten teamsters 
and about a dozen laborers, left Winches- 
ter before daybreak and proceeded by the 
pike to Martinsburgh. They were under 
the immediate charge of Hugh Longust, 
an experienced railroad man from Rich- 
mond. Forty horses, hired and where 
necessary impressed from the farmers 
in the rich valley, and in some cases 
driven by their well-to-do owners, formed 
a highly picturesque feature of the ex- 
pedition. They were to furnish the 
motive power. Fine specimens of horse- 
flesh they were; big, brawny-limbed, 
well-fed and in the very pink of condi- 
tion for draught work. They would 
need all their strength before the day 
was over, for there were some trouble-

ii 



some hills along the route over which 
the ponderous iron horses were to be 
pulled. Upon arrival at Martinsburgh, 
Mr. Longust, a swarthy, wiry little man, 
looked about him until his eye fell upon 
a big locomotive standing on a side track 
near the roundhow i 

••That's the fellow we've got to be- 
gin on. Go in, boys'" he shouted. 

And then the skilled men and labor- 
ers began to work, using all expedition 
possible, for no one could say how soon 
they might be interrupted by the enemy. 
First, the tender was uncoupled, then 
the engine was raised by means of jack- 
screws and stripped of all the parts that 
could be removed, such as side and 
piston rods, valves, levers, lamps, bell, 
whistle and sandbox. All the wheels 
were taken off except the flange drivers 
at the rear. The stripping was done to 
lighten weight, secure greater ease in 
handling and for the better preservation 
of the running gear. 

When this work had been completed, 
what had a few minutes before been a 
splendid iron Pegasus, was a helpless, 
inert mass; a mere shell, deformed and 
crippled, and ready to submit to any 
indignity, even to that of being hauled 
over a country road by the flesh and 
blood horses whose office it had so long 
usurped. 

The next step was to swing the prize 
around until it hung poised in the air at 
right angles with the tracks and to re- 
place the missing forward wheels with a 
heavy truck, made especially for the 
purpose, furnished with iron-shod wood- 
en wheels, and fastened to the engine's 
bumper by an iron bolt serving as a 
linch pin. When the jacks were re- 
moved the engine rested on the flange 
drivers and the wheels of the truck. 
A powerful chain formed the connecting 
link between the locomotive and the 
team of horses. This chain was fastened 
to the single, double and ••fou'ble" 
trees, by means of which the horses 
pulled. The arrangement was very in- 
genious and insured steady and united 
effort. The horses went four abreast 
and the forty, when strung abong in 
pulling position, covered the entire 
width of the road and over ioo feet of 
its length. Probably no similar team 
had ever before been seen on an Ameri- 
can road. 



When all was in readiness a team- 
ster mounted the end of each four, Lon- 
gust gave the signal, the cracks of ten 
whips rang out and the locomot 
novel trip was begun. The offstart was 
merry and inspiring enough to such of 
the townspeople as happened to be in 
sympathy with the movement and to 
the small boy who was as usual pri 
in force, it was an event keenly e 1 1 
and long to be remembered, an experi- 
ence to be treasured along with that of 
donning his initial pair of long trou 
but to the sturdy band oi workers who 
had the prize in charge, the trip was 
anything but a holiday jaunt. 

The time made varied according to 
state of the w-eather and the roads, the 
condition of the teams and various other 
causes. Sometimes the whole distance 
to Winchester, eighteen miles, was 
made in a single day, while at others 
only three or four miles would be 
covered in the same time. The average 
time of the entire trip was three days to 
Strasburgh, thirty-eight miles south of 
Martinsburgh. Often the macadam 
covering of the road would break through 
under the unwonted weight and let the 
iron monster down into the soft earth. 
Then there was hustling. The indis- 
pensable jackscrews came into use and 
timbers were placed under the wheels 
until after, perhaps, an hour's work a 
fresh start could be made. On levels, 
where there was good, solid road and 
all went well, the teams proceeded at a 
fast walk ; up the hills they generally 
went faster, because it was only by a 
good running start that they could get 
to the top at all. As it was, the big 
horses had to strain every muscle in as- 
cending the grades. 

Before the first trip was made a 
prospecting party went over the route 
and examined the bridges on the line of 
the pike. In most instances these were 
not equal to supporting a heavy locomo- 
tive and it was necessary to go into the 
woods, cut timber and strengthen them 
for the unusual burden 

One of the hardest problems to solve 
was that of regulating the speed in de- 
scending hills. Just what the cyclist 
does for his wheel with his little spoon- 
shaped brake, the men in charge of the 
locomotive did for that unwieldy mass 
of iron, for had it once got beyond con- 



STEALING RAILROAD ENGINES. 



trol on a sharp down-grade, nothing 
could have saved the horses or anything 
else that happened to be in the way. 
After considerable experiment and 
thought, the all-useful jackscrew was 
again called into requisition and used as 
a brake, being fastened to the engine 
frame and placed sidewise against the 
drive wheel and tightened or loosened 
as the necessity arose by a man who 
rode on the engine. It is hardly need- 
ful to add that this man's position was 
no sinecure. 

The tenders were conveyed to Stras- 
burgh in the same manner as engines, 
eight horses being employed to the 
team. Cars were not so much in de- 
mand as engines, but a number of these 
were taken in the same manner. They 
were not only used afterward for trans- 
porting war supplies on the southern 
roads, but served the immediate pur- 
pose of carrying the detached portions 
of the locomotives. 

When the engines reached Strasburg 
they were placed on the tracks of the 
Manassas Gap road, which had the 
same gauge as the Baltimore & Ohio — 
five feet, eight and a half inches — by 
the process employed in taking them 
from the rails at Martinsburgh, and the 
tenders having been attached, they were 
hauled, by means of other steam power, 
over the road mentioned and the Orange 
& Alexandria and Virginia Central roads 
to Richmond, the detached parts re- 
maining in the cars. At Richmond they 
were assembled and kept until all had 
been brought from the line of the Balti- 
more & Ohio. Nearly a year was occu- 
pied in conveying the seized locomo- 
tives, nineteen in all, from the Baltimore 
& Ohio to Richmond, most of them com- 
ing from Martinsburgh, though a few 
were taken from Harper's Ferry and 
Duffields. The reason so long a period 
was covered in the collection of the 
seized stock was that the Baltimore & 
Ohio road was not continuously in the 
possession of the Confederates. Some- 
times, by the fortunes of war, they 
were driven south of the Potomac and 
when, perhaps, after months of skirm- 
ishing, they regained the lost ground, 
the interrupted work of conveying the 
rolling stock was patiently and system- 
atically resumed. Two or three of the 
locomotives which were started out of 



Martinsburgh on the pike never got to 
Winchester, the Union forces having 
suddenly appeared upon the scene and 
driven off the party engaged in hauling 
them. The attempt to convey them to 
Strasburg was never renewed and they 
stood by the pike between Martinsburgh 
and Winchester until recovered by the 
Baltimore & Ohio people at the close of 
the war, somewhat the worse for their 
exposure to the elements, but still cap- 
able, after repairs, of doing good ser- 
vice. 

Some of the engines were the long, 
lean freight haulers of the day; some 
were passenger locomotives, but the 
majority were of the now -vanished 
" camelback " type, designed by Ross 
Winans of Baltimore. These "camel- 
backs " were sturdy pullers, and did 
excellent service in their time, but they 
were marvels of ugliness. The cab was 
perched on top of, and well to the front 
of the high boiler, and the engineer 
stood almost over the front wheels. In 
Blind Tom's pianistic description of the 
" Battle of Manassas," he used to imi- 
tate, with that robust voice of his, the 
whistle of a " camelback," and wierd 
and blood-curdling as was the sound 
emitted from his lips, it was but a faith- 
ful reproduction of the original. 

Now and then the squad in "turnpik- 
ing'' the engines, found it advisable in 
view of information received from scouts, 
to retire at night to Bunker Hill, a point 
well within the Confederate lines, to 
avoid the risk of capture, returning 
early next morning to resume opera- 
tions. The loss of one of the skilled 
men would have been a far more serious 
affair than that of a private soldier, who 
was merely a fighter, or, perhaps, even 
than that of some of the commissioned 
officers. Notwithstanding the length of 
time over which the operations ex- 
tended, and the frequent proximity of 
the Union forces, there was never as 
much as a skirmish. To carry off bodily 
such a great mass of heavy material 
from points at intervals within the 
clutch of the opposing forces, without 
the loss of a single man, was indeed a 
remarkable feat. 

The last time the "railroad corps" 
handled one of the captured locomo- 
tives was in the spring of 1862, when 
the Confederates evacuated Manassas

just after the Second Bull Run. At that 
time the "igg," a "camelback," and 
the last of the engines to be taken from 
Martinsburgh, was at Strasburg ready 
to be conveyed by the way of railroads 
to Richmond. The sudden move of the 
armv rendered this impossible, as the 
direct route to the capital had been cut 
oil; so the night of the evacuation the 
railroad force were ordered to get that 
"camelback" to Richmond by the only 
route left open, namely, the very cir- 
cuitous one by way of Mount Jackson 
and Staunton. Accordingly, the " 199," 
which had already cost so much time 
and trouble, was put on the tracks of 
the Manassas Gap railroad and taken 
to Mount Jackson, a distance of twenty- 
five miles, and thence by team over the 
pike, a matter of seventy miles more, to 
Staunton, where it was again placed on 
the rails, this time those of the Virginia 
Central, and hauled to Richmond. The 
trip occupied about four days, and the 
movement was the most hurried and 
exciting of the series. Many bridges 
had to be strengthened en route, and in 
crossing some of them it was found nec- 
cessary to substitute a block and fall for 
the horses. Staunton was reached early 
in the morning, and though it was 
scarcely daylight, the major portion of 
the population were up and out to see 
the novel cavalcade. 

All the engines were kept at Rich- 
mond until the last one had been seized, 
the original intention having been to 
do the repairing and refitting there, but 
in Mav, 1S62, when McClellan began 
his movement up the Peninsula and 
preparations to evacuate the capital 
were made, the dismantled locomotives 
ami their dislocated members were 
among the very first freight started out 
of Richmond. To have allowed those 
precious " camelbacks " to fall into the 
hands of the northern troops after such 
risks and the expenditure of so much 
time, ingenuity and labor, would have 
been galling indeed. Colonel Sharp, who 
had them in charge, directed Mr. Duke 
to hurry the prizes by rail to a safe 
point in the South. They were accord- 
ingly taken to a place on the North 
Carolina Central road, in Allamance 
county, North Carolina, about fifty 
miles west of Raleigh. The movement 
was successfully accomplished, and the 



engines found another temporary rest- 
ing place. Meantime the large shop 
buildings of the Raleigh & Gaston rail- 
road at Raleigh were leased by the 
Southern government, fitted up with 
improved machinery, and the • Con- 
fi I rate States locomotive shops'' were 
established. The shops were ready for 
work by July, 1S62, and the captured 
locomotives and the carloads of acces- 
sories were hauled back to Raleigh and 
a large force of workmen began the refit- 
ting and repairing. As fast as ready the 
rehabilitated engines were turned over 
to the various southern railroads, who 
purchased them from the Confederate 
States, readily paying for them by cred- 
its upon the government transportation 
accounts. The existence of the shops, 
which were extensive and fully 
equipped, was not generally known and 
was one of many evidences that the 
Confederate leaders, or at least some of 
them, realized that the war was to be 
no "three month's affair," but a long 
and hard struggle, and that the most 
systematic and thorough marshaling of 
resources and facilities was necessary. 
About ten months were occupied in 
turning out the locomotives, and it was 
over eighteen months from the date of 
the first raid on the Baltimore & Ohio 
Railroad before they were all in active 
use again. They proved highly valua- 
ble in subsequent operations, coming 
into use as they did when much of the 
southern rolling stock was completely 
worn out. 

The long time covered, first in secur- 
ing and transporting the rolling stock, 
and afterwards in placing it in running 
order after the dismantling, showed no 
lack of skill or enterprise on the part of 
those engaged in the task (the fact that 
they accomplished it at all proved that 
they possessed those qualities in abund- 
ance), but is only evidence of the great 
and varied difficulties under which they 
labored. The delay was owing, in some 
degree, to the peculiar character of the 
mechanical obstacles to be overcome, 
but much more to the frequent changes 
in the positions of the contending 
armies. The "railroad corps" had 
always to follow the armv. 

The operations were not confined to 
the carrying off of cars and engines. 
The best portion of the equipment of

the Raleigh shops, above described, in- 
cluding lathes, planers, drill presses and 
last, but not lightest, a turn-table! were 
all conveyed to Raleigh in cars, by the 
way of the pike and railroads, from the 
Baltimore & Ohio roundhouse at Mar : 
tinsburgh. More than this, at a later 
period of the war, the "railroad corps," 
who seemed to have stopped at nothing, 
actually tore up and hauled away the 
ties, rails, chairs and spikes, form- 
ing about five miles of the Baltimore & 
Ohio road between Duffields and Kear- 
neysville and relaid it from Manassas 
Gap to Centerville for the use of the 
army. Mr. Duke remembers and relates 
with dry humor how, after most strenu- 
ous efforts, this piece of track was got 
into position late Saturday evening and 
how the very next day, Sunday, it was 
captured by the Union forces. This 
episode occurred just prior to Second 
Bull Run and was a striking example of 
the extreme uncertainty of war move- 
ments. 



It is generally understood that after 
the war the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad 
was reimbursed by the United States 
government for the damage inflicted in 
the seizure of the engines, cars and 
track material, as well as for the de- 
struction of numerous bridges, etc., by 
the Southern forces. It is also reported 
and generally believed, that a number 
of the locomotives were recovered by 
the road after the war and were used for 
some time in the regular service of the 
company. Colonel Sharp, who con- 
ducted the movements for the seizure of 
the rolling stock, was, not many years 
after the war, made master of transpor- 
tation of the Baltimore & Ohio road and 
filled that important position for a num- 
ber of years under President John W. 
Garret, who was at the head of the road 
during the war, and who was able to 
appreciate enterprise and ability, even 
when for a season directed against his 
own interests. Ernest Shriver. 



THE REDEMPTION OF A PLAGIARIST. 



FULFILLED with knowledge he came 
*■ from college, 

And vowed to his muse he'd be 
A diligent writer and clever inditer 

Of the sort she loves to see ; 
He had studied up diction, the rules of 
fiction. 

And he had an attractive name, 
Which in due season he thought with 
reason, 

Might well be known to fame. 

Like all the rest he wrote as a test 

A most imposing pile 
Of poetical works, with quibs and quirks 

In the Austin Dobson style ; 
He blithely sang (like Andrew Lang) 

In ballade and villanelle, 
But he found in time that these forms of 
rhyme 

Are not the forms that sell. 



Lowell, Thoreau, Disraeli, Poe, 

He copied them all in turn ; 
Tried Anthony Hope, turned back to 
Pope, 

Lamb, Addison, Swift and Sterne; 
The styles that he prized he plagarized 

With an infinite deal of toil, 
And, being no laggard, he grafted 
Haggard 

On Du Maurier, Kipling, Doyle. 

But each poem or tale he would write 
and mail 

The mark contrived to miss, 
Till in dull despair he rumpled his hair, 

And wrote him a rhyme like this ! 

THE MORAL 

Is, then, that it's not the pen 
Of another that brings one pelf, 

But the simple truth an original youth 
Has the sense to write himself! 

Guy Wetmore Carkvi.. 



GETTING WORK OUT OF ELECTRICITY. 



TTITHEN electricity was first proposed 
** for transportation, probably all of 
the scientists who had made this a study 
concluded that it would not be available 
for the heavy freight traffic on a railroad. 
That it would be serviceable for street 
railways was conceded, but it was for 
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to suc- 
cessfully demonstrate that it was not 



tunnel in the world. It is 7,339 feet, or 
nearly a mile and a half long, 27 feet 
high, 22 feet wide, and cost in the neigh- 
borhood of ^7,500,000.00. 

Before the tunnel was finished the 
question of ventilation became urgent, 
and at the suggestion of the General 
Electric Company it was proposed that 
electric locomotives should be used in- 




only a possibility but in their particular 
case a necessity. 

When the great tunnel was built 
through the heart of Baltimore under 
Howard street, one of its principal 
thoroughfares, the question arose as 
to what would be the best method of 
ventilating the subterranean passage 
without sinking vertical shafts through 
the cellars of houses or in the street 
along its line. 

The tunnel is the longest soft earth 



stead of steam locomotives, and thereby 
keeping the air in the tunnel free from the 
usual coal gases. The experiment was 
first tried with a sixty-seven ton electric 
locomotive and proved successful. The 
result was the building of a magnificent 
power-house and the placing of an order 
for three Combination Schenectady En- 
gines, to be built with electrical appli- 
ances furnished by the General Electric 
Company. These electric locomotives 
are not only operated through the tun- 




,| i i.MAi II To TUNNEL AT MT. ROYAL STATInN. (BEFORE TRAIN SHED WAS BUILT.) 



GETTING WORK OUT OF ELECTRICIT\ 



19 



ml, but also for a distance of 7,3yd feet 
in the open air. 

As Baltimore is built upon a very 
undulating surface there are naturally 
some steep grades in the track, and a 
freight train of forty cars would have to 
be pulled by at least two steam engines, 
using about all the power they could 
command. 

It is a common occurrence to sec a 
lout; freight train of about 1,500 tonnage 
waiting to be transported through the 
city by way of the tunnel with one of 
these locomotives which can command 



General Electric Company, at Schenec- 
tady, N. V., and a brief description of 
them will be interesting. 

They are made to run in either di- 
rection, and rival in weight and size the 
largest steam locomotive. They are 
symmetrical and even handsome in ap- 
pearance to the eye of the most critical 
engineer, and are free from the series of 
humps which are necessary on the back 
of a steam locomotive. They are not 
playthings, as the following dimensions 
show: Number of trucks, 2: weight on 
driving wheels, 192,000 pounds; number 




more than double the power of a steam 
locomotive. The electric locomotive 
will couple on to these trains and pull 
them apparently without effort over all 
the steep grades. The engineers of the 
steam locomotives are required to shut 
off all coal gases as they approach the 
tunnel, consequently the air is kept pure. 
All passenger trains of six or more cars 
in length are forbidden to use the tun- 
nel unless taken through by one of the 
motor engines. 

The work of building these ponder- 
ous machines was supervised by the 



of driving wheels, 8; draw bar pull, 42,- 
000 pounds; starting draw bar pull, 60,- 
000 pounds; gauge, 4 feet 8J2 inches; 
diameter of drivers, 62 inches inside of 
tires; length over all, 35 feet; height to 
top of cab, 14 feet 3 inches: extreme 
width, 9 feet 6 ' 4 inches. 

Should the locomotive be divided 
through the center of the cab there 
would be two distinct individual locomo- 
tives to all outward appearances, such is 
their symmetrical construction. Inside 
the cab at one end is what appears to be 
a large iron safe which contains the

powerful motor; on the top of this a lever 
is worked on the same principle as the 
motorman's lever on a trolley car. The 
motorman on the engine uses it as he 
would the throttle of a steam engine. 




In this connection a story is told of 
one of the oldest engineers of the Balti- 
more & Ohio Railroad, who had been for 
years intrusted with 
the Limited trains 
of the Royal Blue 
Line. When the first 
electric locomotive 
was finished and 
ready for use it was 
concluded to honor 
the old engineer by 
giving him charge of 
this mysterious en- 
gine, so he could 
do work at home. 
He reluctantly took 
his place at the mo- 
tor, which at that 
time was worked by 
a wheel, but he 
could not success- 
fully control the en- 
gine. Many attempts 
were made and 
other engineers were called in to try 
their hand, but with no better result. 



Then it was decided to try men who 
were accustomed to electric motors, but 
these men were not accepted because 
they did not have the experience that 
was necessary to assume the responsi- 
bility of running a 
train. Somebody 
suggested that the 
original engineer se- 
lected would be just 
the man if he could 
handle the throttle 
to which he had 
been accustomed, 
and so the throttle 
was substituted for 
the wheel, and 
strange to say, the 
great engine obeyed 
his commands. It 
was simply a case 
of ' ' the carpenter 
not being able to 
work without his own 
tools. " 

The illustrations 

given herewith show 

glimpses of the tunnel, the over head 

trolley system, and the power plant 

of the first and only successful electri- 




cal railway for heavy purposes in exist- 
ence.

A MARYLAND .MAID. 



IN the years long gone, the prettiest 
maid by far in all the town of Fred- 
erick, that beautiful little city set so 
daintilv in the midst of the Maryland 
mountains was Janet Foy. 

At the time of this chronicle, Janet 
was just twenty, when if ever a girl is a 
tyrant — and what man will say she is 
not? — she is most tyrannical, and the 
fair and fickle maiden was exercising 
over her helpless subjects, not only in 
Frederick, but in Baltimore, Washing- 
ton, Hagerstown and the circle of vil- 
lages in the valleys, a sceptre which 
smote all hearts and left them bleeding 
and hopeless where they fell. 

As for her own heart, had there been 
no answering rod which laid the stripes 
of punishment upon it? Is a woman's 
heart at twenty, hard, or, is it merely 
that she steels it against the cavaliers 
who attack it, and she laughs them to 
scorn and vanquishment, not because 
she loves men less, but because she 
loves power more? 

Janet Foy was not at home and 
among her friends, the cruel tyrant and 
imperious woman her suitors claimed 
that she was, nor was she, among the 
people of her acquaintance, held in such 
esteem, except by the love-lorn youths 
who dangled in her train. Her friends 
admitted that she was a dreadful flirt, 
but they insisted that there was such 
sunshine in her face, and such sparkle 
in her roguish eyes, such music in her 
voice and such merry mischief in her 
laugh, that not a man or woman in 
Frederick would have given up their 
pleasure in these harmless attributes to 
have saved all the love-sick youths of 
the valley from immediate and perpet- 
ual desolation in which no gleam of 
hope could ever shine again. 



Selfish creatures that they were, 
what did they care how many tender 
hearts of the male persuasion were 
crushed into bits so long as Janet Foy 
was a delight and a defiance to all the 
world ? If she were a flirt, God made 
her so, and the simple people who knew 
her and loved her were quite content 
not to question or criticize the works 
and ways of an all-wise Providence. 

But had her own light heart never 
known the touch of that pain which, 
once felt, is never forgotten ? 

Among those who had worshiped at 
her shrine longer, perhaps, than any 
other, though with less demonstration, 
was Frederick Ball, a young man who 
had been practicing law for five years, 
and who had for ten years dreamed of 
Janet Foy. He was five years her sen- 
ior, and when he had seen her as a girl 
at the school they attended, he had 
unconsciously fallen in love with her. 
Usually when boys of fifteen fall in love 
with girls of ten the proceeding is by no 
means one of unconsciousness, for love 
at that demonstrative age is only an- 
other form of active consciousness ; but 
with Frederick Ball it was not as with 
other boys. He was older than his 
years, and where the ordinary boy of 
his age would speak it seemed the bet- 
ter way to Frederick to give himself 
only to thought. It was thus that he 
never talked much to the pretty little 
girl across the school room, but he would 
look at her when he could without de- 
tection, and he dreamed of her when he 
dreamed of anything except his future 
as a great lawyer, for the law was his 
choice and his hope from the very be- 
ginning. 

As the two children grew to manhood 
and womanhood Janet began to feel the 



A MARYLAND MAID. 



silent espionage of the young man she 
seemed to have known always without 
ever noticing particularly, and she be- 
came restive and later, woman-like, she 
resented it. 

One day shortly after her graduation, 
when Frederick was already a full 
fledged lawyer, they set upon the high 
doorsteps of her father's house over- 
looking the square, in which stood the 
Temple of Justice, wherein Frederick 
hoped to be a high priest some day, and 
sitting there talking as young persons 
talk on doorsteps, they almost quarreled. 
"You are so very peculiar, Fred," 
she said petulantly and as if feeling that 
it were necessary for her to defend her- 
self against something she could not 
definitely designate. 

"In respect of what, Miss Foy," he 
responded with a stateliness which was 
more sarcasm than dignity. 

•'I don't exactly know, "she answered, 
feeling that while her argument might 
be defective she was sure of her facts, 
"but you seem to act towards me as if 
I were a little girl, and you were my 
grandfather and were constantly on the 
watch for fear I would run away." 

" Have I ever said anything that would 
lead you to infer that I was your grand- 
father?" he smiled in kindly fashion. 

• 'No, you haven't, "she snapped back 
at him as if his tone nagged her, "but 
you make me feel as if you carried a sign 
before my eyes reading, 'Behold your 
grandfather ' " 

"That must be because I am so much 
older than you." 

"A man at twenty-five is always the 
junior of a woman of twenty," she re- 
torted. 

"A lady asked me to-day how old 
Miss Foy was," he said easily, "and I 
did not give her much satisfaction. 
When I see her again I shall apologize 
and say that while I do not know Miss 
Foy's exact age, I have it on her own 
authority that she is older than I am 
and that I am twenty-five." 

Her face flushed and the angry lines 
showed themselves around the corners 
of her mouth and about her eyes. She 
was on the point of making a hasty reply 
when she checked herself and laughed. 

"You thought you would provoke 
me into saying something I shouldn't 
have said, didn't you?" she said, "Well, 



I shall not do it. I am older than you 
are -as I said I was, and I prove it to you 
by not doing a foolish thing under your 
provocation. Now, Mr. Attorney, you 
may go on with your argument." 

"It is women like you are, Janet," 
he said seriously after he had laughed 
at her skillful manceuvering, "who make 
men do whatever they wish them to do, 
be it good or bad. " 

"But you are not of the kind of men 
whom women control in that way. There 
are women as you say I am, Mr. Ball, 
and there are men as I say you are. 
What happens when they meet? Is it 
the irresistible meeting the unsur- 
mountable?" 

Frederick had for a long time wished 
to speak to Janet exactly on the lines 
that now seemed to stretch straight 
before them both and by Fate's doing 
rather than by any planning of their 
own. Certainly not by any of his and 
he knew that Janet had no need of 
scheming. 

"Janet," he said, with more depth 
of feeling than he had ever known, 
"whatever you would ask me to do, that 
would I do, good or bad." 

The girl looked at him in amazement. 
Perhaps she had never thought of him 
other than as the friend of her school 
days and girlhood — a boy merely. Now 
there was in every modulation and 
accent of his voice and words the very 
spirit and strength of a man, and a man 
willing to do whatever she asked. If 
she had thought of him as a lover of 
hers who might one day become her 
husband, no one of those who saw her 
most ever suspected it for she had given- 
no sign. He knew that she had en- 
couraged him not so much as a master 
encouraged his dog. He had watched 
her smile on the dozens who flocked 
about her and he had prayed in his 
silence that some day she might smile 
on him, but not as she did on them. It 
was not the fraction of a smile he sought, 
but all— all— all. 

What she may have thought she did 
not speak, and whatever of amazement 
followed his words passed as a summer 
cloud and she looked fairly into his eyes, 
cold and hard, but firmly. 

"Mr. Ball," she said very slowly, "I 
shall take you at your word. I shall ask 
you to do for me what may be good or 






A MARYLAND MAID. 



bad as you make it. Come to-morrow 
evening here. And now, good-bye until 
then." 

As Frederick Ball thought that night 
of Janet Foy it seemed to him that some 
new being had taken the place of the 
pretty little girl he had known, and he 
wondered what she would ask him to do 
when he came again the next evening. 
It was no trifling matter he was sure, 
for Janet had spoken as only a woman 
in her most serious mood could speak. 
Be her commands what they might be, 
however, he was prepared to obey them 
to the utmost limit. He dreamed of 
her that night, but his dreams for the 
first time were not bright as they had 
been. There was a shadow lurking in 
them which he could not define and 
when morning came he felt as if he were 
facing some evil. All day the feeling 
forced itself in upon him at intervals 
and when he met Janet in the evening 
he was not as he had ever been. As for 
Janet she gave no sign, except that she 
was very serious, indeed. 

"Mr. Ball," she said, when they had 
sat for perhaps a half hour talking at 
random, "you remember last night that 
you said you would do anything I asked 
you to do. good or bad?" 

"Quite distinctly, Miss Foy," he 
replied, "and I am no less willing to 
perform it now than I was to say it last 
night. What would you have me to do?" 
She seemed to appreciate this forestall- 
ing of her request by asking for it, and 
she smiled and put out her hand to him. 

"You have an ambition to be a great 
lawyer," she said slowly, "and you have 
made such a beginning here as any 
young man should be proud of. I ask 
you to give it all up and go to Balti- 
more, there to begin at the beginning 
among a strange people. I ask you — 

Ball was struck speechless for an in- 
stant and then he interrupted her. 

"Why, what do you mean, Janet," 
he cried, "What can you mean? Do 
you want me to ruin myself? Do you 
want me to desert my friends? Have 
you no feeling for my own people? What 
of you and of me? Is it all to be lost 
for a foolish woman's whim ?" 

She did not change color under this 
attack. 

"You said you would do for me any- 
thing I asked," she said coldly, "Am 1 



to understand by that statement just 
now repeated by yourself that what you 
say is not what you mean? That you 
will not do what you say you will do?" 

He jumped from the step to the 
pavement below ami walked up and 
down in front of her as if he were a 
caged beast under the lash. 

"You do not know what you are 
saying." he exclaimed. "You, a girl, to 
demand this of me. It is silly, prepos- 
terous; it will make me the laughing 
stock of the town and will mark you as 
a dangerous flirt who would ruin a man 
simply to show her power over him." 

"That is not the question. I have 
asked you to give up everything here 
and go to Baltimore to make a new 
beginning. I ask again that you do this 
for my sake, seeing that you have said 
you would do anything for me I asked, 
and that you do not return here or com- 
municate with any one. You are to be 
for two years dead to what may be here. 
As for myself, I shall go on as I have 
gone on in the past. At the end of two 
years you may return. Now, what will 
you do?" 

It was a tremendous question for a 
man to decide, but there was in Fred- 
erick Ball's nature that quality of chiv- 
alry which has made poetry and song 
and love, and with a sudden resolve he 
stood up before this girl calmly asking 
so much of him. 

"Janet," he said almost fiercely, 
"what I have said I would do, that will 
I do. Good night." and he stepped 
lightly down and hurried away in the 
darkness. 

The girl's eyes glistened and her 
face shone, with a feeling of triumph, 
shall it be said? — as the young man 
walked rapidly down the quiet street, 
his footsteps striking the time as a sol- 
dier's who goes away to battle and vic- 
tory. 

But was she glad? 

A year had gone by and the wonder 
of Frederick Ball's disappearance had 
given place to other wonders as soon as 
it was known that he and Janet had 
quarreled and he had gone away broken 
hearted. That was the way the story 
went and Janet said nothing to make it 
a different story. As for Frederick, he 
was interdicted. He could say nothing 
in defense or explanation. He loved 



A MARYLAND MAID. 



Janet, and he was doing what she had 
asked him to do for her sake and with- 
out so much as a word of promised re- 
ward. It was enough to do something 
for her ; that was its own reward. 

As the first year went by and the 
second, Janet was no less the object of 
adoration to love-sick mankind than she 
had been always. She was to that man- 
ner born, and she could not prevent the 
men from falling in love with her. But 
she gave her thought to Frederick Ball, 
and as she thought of him, so silent, so 
submissive, the woman in her began 
to assert itself, and instead of loving 
him as she thought she should do for the 
great sacrifice he was making, she began 
to think that a man who would do all 
he had done for her was a weak man 
and did not love her as he should. If 
he had loved her, she argued, he would 
have told her in the beginning that he 
would not act so foolishly just because 
she asked him to, but like a sensible 
man he would have made his sacrifice 
by marrying her then and there and as- 
suming the responsibilities of marriage, 
and would have become a good and use- 
ful citizen. As it was, he simply listened 
to what she had been silly enough to 
ask of him, and was now keeping him- 
self away from her and making himself 
and everybody else miserable by his 
conduct, and she would not have such a 
man now if he came home that very 
minute. And so on to a great extent, 
as an} 7 woman under similar circum- 
stances would do. 

Whoever has come into the Freder- 
ick of to-day over the Baltimore & Ohio 
railroad Ijas observed, if he has been at 
all observant, an old-fashioned white- 
washed stone freight depot just before 
the train stops at the station. On the 
roof at one end of this ancient structure 
is a little cupola, in which, in the time 
of this story, hung a bell. The building 
was the passenger station of the Balti- 
more railroad, and when the trains ar- 
rived, drawn by horses as they were 
then, this bell was rung to inform the 
people of the town that the train with 
its mail and passengers had arrived. 

A day before the two years of Fred- 
erick Ball's exile had expired, Janet Foy 
was walking in the evening across the 
square in front of her home with two 
young attorneys, when they heard the 



bell ringing at the station, and it was 
proposed that they walk over to the tiain, 
a distance of half a mile, to see who had 
come in. As they crossed the bridge 
over the little stream between the sta- 
tion and the town, they met the conduc- 
tor of the train, whom they all knew, 
and he stopped and handed Miss Janet 
a letter. It was not addressed, but 
something told her it was a letter to be 
opened only in her own room, and she 
laughingly put aside the inquiries of her 
escorts and showed them the envelope 
to decide for themselves whence it came. 
She did not know, and told them so, but 
she suspected and she wondered, but 
she controlled her curiosity so admir- 
ably that it was after ten o'clock when 
her callers left and she had an oppor- 
tunity to solve the problem. 

She was nervous when she tore open 
the letter, and when she saw it was from 
whom she suspected she could not 
imagine what it meant nor why he should 
have written it. 

" My Dear Miss Foy," it read. " I 
have decided that under the circum- 
stances it would not avail me to come 
back to you after the expiration of my 
term of exile. You have given no sign 
in these long two years that a visit from 
me would be at all welcome, and I do 
not care to further pain and humiliate 
myself through the whims of, I fear, a 
heartless woman. Therefore, let me 
very briefly say farewell. 
Sincerely, 

Frederick Ball." 

Baltimore, June 7th, 1 <S 4 5 . 

Janet's face flushed, and her first im- 
pulse was anger and resentment against 
what seemed to her to be an unjust im- 
putation. She threw the letter to one 
side and began putting out the lights in 
the room, softly humming to herself, 
but not joyously. There was an under- 
tone that was susceptible of more than 
one interpretation. That she was busily 
thinking the meanwhile was apparent, for 
presently she smiled as if she had met 
with an agreeable idea in her mental 
wanderings. She went immediately to 
her room then and wrote two letters. 

The first was as follows : 
"My Dear Mr. Ball: 

You have decided wisely. 

Cordially, Janet Foy." 

Frederick, Md.. 10.15 p - M -> June 8. 









./ MARYLAND MAID. 



Then she wrote another which read 
in thiswise : 
Dear Olh Fri D : 

What is the use of your being silly, 
too? Don't you think it is enough for 
me to be so? What are you for if not 
to teach me better things ? Whatever 
you may have thought of the exile you 
have been undergoing for this eternity 
it wasn't anything to what I have been 
experiencing. If you don't come to 
Frederick on the cars to-morrow even- 
ing you may look for me in Baltimore 
on the arrival of the train from this 
town the next morning. 

Penitently, 

Janet." 

Frederick, Md., 10.30 r. m., June 8. 



Then she laid both letters aside and 
went to bed to dream bright dreams, 
and early in the morning she awoke and 
went herself with the letters to the con- 
ductor to deliver them with instructions 
as to how he should give them- to Mr. 
Ball, the one marked " 1 " in the corner 
first, to be followed shortly by the 
other, marked "2." 

"That's all there is for you to do," 
she said with a smile. "Mr. Ball will 
do the rest." 

Which Mr. Ball did, and the conduct- 
or afterwards said he never saw such a 
change in a man's face and manner as 
there was in Fred Ball's when he read 
those two letters from Janet Foy.

LOVE IN COURT. 

HPO Cupid's court she took the case, 

A plain tiff was the trouble. 
She'd fallen out with Charley Chase, 
And in with Bow and Bubble. 

Now Cupid sat in gown and wig 

With little Puck assisting, 
While Bow and Bubble, small and big, 

As lawyers, did the twisting. 

" What is your age ? " asked little Puck. 

"Dam — age, sir, is the question," 
Roared Bow. Said Puck, "we'll be in 
luck 

If you'll avoid suggestion." 

" ' Tis breach of promise," loudly cries 
Old Bubble. He o'erreaches ; 

For Cupid smilingly replies 

" / know Love has no breeches." 

Such were the points of every sort, 
The lawyers fought like fury, 

Until the case went out of court 
With a divided jury. 

The bold defendant laughed aloud, 
The plaintiff wept most timely ; 

Then Puck called "Order!" to the crowd, 
And spoke these words sublimely : 

"That damages they'd not agree 
To give," said Puck, " 's infamous ; 

And therefore we'll be blessed if we 
Don't give you a man-dam-us. ''

* I 'HE Royal Blue Line is as near an 
■*- air line as may be achieved from 
the nature of the topography of the 
country, considering engineering econ- 
omy as to easy grades and curves to 
reach either terminal and the local 
points of traffic. Hence, it is possible, 
with absolute safety, to reach the high- 
est rates of speed obtainable from the 
most improved machinery. Add to this 
the high standard compelled by the su- 
pervisors of track in the maintenance of 
way of the three roads of the line, and 
the fast train service in operation is not 
a source of special wonder, but accepted 
as a matter of course. 

A description of the route from New 
York to Washington is given in detail. 

The "Royal Blue Line" boasts of 
two excellent terminals at New York; 
the one at foot of Liberty street and the 
other at South Ferry or Whitehall 
Terminal, foot of Whitehall street. 
This terminal is by far the most conven- 
ient in New York, as all trains of the 
Second, Third, Sixth and Ninth avenue 
elevated lines, Broadway, Columbus and 
Lexington avenue cable lines, East and 
West side belt line horse cars terminate 
at this point and under the same roof. 
Besides, the Staten Island Ferry. South 
Ferry, Hamilton Avenue and Thirty- 
ninth Street Brooklyn Ferries all leave 
this station. 



The views of interest along the route 
are not a few and are full of attractive- 
ness. Trains to and from New York 
pass near the shore, affording fine views 
of the bay and harbor, the shipping, the 
statue of Liberty, the forts and coast de- 
fenses, Long Island and Staten Island, 
with a distant view of the great cities ; 
and if the ride be at night the scene is 
entrancing, the brilliant lights dotting 
sea and shore in every direction, and 
doubling their numbers by reflection in 
the dark waters of the bay, while over 
all, Liberty lifts high her torch and sheds 
a glaring light on the lesser ones below. 
Along the shore are the villages of 
Claremont and Greenville, lying near 
Bergen Hill. Bayonne and Bergen 
Point are on the peninsula between the 
two bays — with unsurpassed facilities 
for bathing, boating and fishing ; the 
latter is a famous out-of-town residence 
point. At Centreville the smoking 
chimneys are those of the Standard Oil 
Company's and Lombard. Avres & Cos 
great oil works, refineries and piers. 

It is a long bridge of two miles 
across Newark Bay, a bridge of iron 
with a pivot draw laid on a pier of solid 
masonry, forced to the rock bottom of 
the bay by hydraulic machinery, making 
the pier as solid as the natural rock. 
A look from the windows on the north 
side will show the spires of the city of 



THE ROYAL BLUE LINE. 



Newark, and on the south the hills of 
Staten Island across the Kill von Kull. 
After crossing the long bridge across 
Newark Bay near its junction with the

Elizabethport was a famous port in 
the old Revolutionary days. Here 
George Washington left his coach and 
embarked for New York to be inaugu- 
rated as first President of the United 
States. It was a great shipping point 
then, as it is to-day, though the com- 



modities were different. Then it was of 
supplies for the interior from the mar- 
kets of New York ; now the traffic is in 
coal brought by rail from the anthracite 
regions to the immense piers and pockets 
at Elizabethport. Four or five thousand 
of the inhabitants of Elizabethport are 
the employes of one corporation — that 
of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, 
whose buildings cover many acres of 
ground there — which, with 
numerous other manufactur- 
ing concerns, make the city a 
very busy and a very pros- 
perous one. 

Elizabeth was once the 
capital of New Jersey, and 
the seat of the College of 
New Jersey, which was re- 
moved to Newark and thence 
to Princeton. The city was 
named in honor of the wife 
of Governor Cartaret, who 
was Governor more than two 
hundred years ago. It is a 
fact not generally known that 
female suffrage was legal in 
New Jersey within the pres- 
ent century but it is alleged, 
that at Elizabeth they proved 
to be repeaters, and by a 
change of costume voted 
early and often at one par- 
ticular election : the election 
was annulled by the Legisla- 
ture and the right of suffrage 
taken away, and now they 
can't vote even at Eliza- 
beth. There are few cities 
that can boast of better 
railway facilities than Eli- 
zabeth, as there are over 
two hundred trains a day 
between the city and New 
York, to say nothing of the 
direct communication by 
water. These facts and the 
great manufactories of all 
kinds indicate prosperity and 
a great future. West Elizabeth is also 
called El Mora, and is the next station. 
Roselle. a pretty village with a pretty 
name, fifteen miles from New York, and 
Cranford, two miles further, on the west 
side of the Rahway River, are charming 
places with stylish villas and cozy cot- 
tages, shaded streets and grassy lawns.

southern slope. Here are ambitious 
hills from whose tops the view takes in 
the great city and the bay and the nearer 
smaller cities all about. Fanwood, 
formerly Scotch Plains, distant twenty 
two miles from New York, and which 
has for a close neighbor the vil- 
lage of Netherwood, also on the Orange 
foot-hills, is a favorite place for country 
seats of New York business men. 

Plainfield is another favorite place 
of residence for a large number of solid 
business men of New York, who have 
here erected elegant homes, going to and 



their first meeting-house on Peace street, 
which they still occupy ; the Baptists 
also chose Plainfield as the place for 
their first church. While the literary 
circles of Plainfield include a large per- 
centage of the people, there are not a 
few engaged in industrial pursuits and 
manufacturing, making the town one of 
the most thriving in the State. As a 
pleasure resort Plainfield presents many 
attractions, as the drives through the 
shaded streets to Netherwood Heights, 
along the Blue Ridge, and to Washing- 
tun Rock on smooth well-kept roads,

fro on the fast and frequent commu- 
tation trains with greater ease and com- 
fort, if not less loss of time than many 
who live within the city's limits. Plain- 
field is one of the oldest of Jersey towns, 
its ancient history running back over a 
hundred and fifty years, when its first 
frame house was built in 1735. The 
town figures in the Nation's history as a 
point of importance during the war for 
independence. "The Rock'' on the 
Orange hills is shown as Washington's 
observation point, from which he kept 
an eye on the movements of King 
George's soldiers under General Howe. 
Here also the Society of Friends built 



amply demonstrate, to which may be 
added pure air and water, and a general 
pervading of the picturesque. Dun- 
ellen, next — twenty-seven miles from 
New York, charmingly and healthfully 
located in the long life district — is a 
picturesque village, whose shaded 
streets end in country roads, providing 
drive-ways to neighboring towns and 
the mountains. 

The Middlesex County Club have 
shooting grounds at Dunellen, and the 
only real English " Bowling Green " in 
Jersey is at Dunellen. Spring Lake, 
with its delightful rowing and fishing, is 
only a mile away.

Bound Brook on the Raritan River, 
is the junction of the Central Railroad 
of New Jersey, and the Philadelphia & 

Reading, and obtained its name fr 

the brook east of the station, which was 
a land boundary in the Colonial days — 
a name handed down to the Bound 
Brook Route, the pioneer fast line. 
From this point there is a turn more to 
the southward, following closely the old 
stage road. Bound Brook is a very old 
settlement, the name occurring 230 
years ago. The first house was called 
by a name rather unpronounceable, 



before the steam in the tea-kettle of 
James Watt's mother had lifted the lid, 
the old line of Sw ift-Sure stages made a 
stop here. 

The middle link of this great tri- 
partite through line is reached at Bound 
Brook, where its trains entei upon the 
New York division of the splendid Read- 
ing Railroad System. From this point 
the line runs straight away southwest 
through the beautiful and productive 
garden lands of Somerset and Mercer, 
to where the River Delaware flows be- 
tween New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Rackawackhanna, and was the head- 
quarters of Lord Cornwallis in 1777, and 
of the notorious Col. Simcoe. The first 
two-story house, built in 1784, was ap- 
parently regarded as too ambitious a 
structure ; and as if suggesting that the 
owner was inclined to put on airs, was 
denominated " Van Norden's Folly." 
The Queen's Bridge was built across 
the Raritan in 1731, and used by the 
old-time stages, at that time the only 
means of public travel. The village has 
long been a station on the line of travel 
between New York and Philadelphia, 
long before railroads were dreamed of ; 



Wide-stretching fields of waving grain 
alternate with orchards whose serried 
rows of trees bend beneath a generous 
fruitage, while on the farther hillsides 
cluster herds of highest pedigree. Smil- 
ing villages dot the far-horizoned land- 
scape, and wide as the traveler's vision 
may reach are evidences of thrift and 
peace and plenty. 

The first station met upon the 
"Reading'' is Weston, a charming vil- 
lage thirty-five miles from New York 
and fifty-five miles from Philadelphia. 
It is the centre of a prosperous agricul- 
tural section, as is likewise Hamilton,

westward. Next comes Belle Mead, 
famous for its great stock-breeding 
farms, and then Harlingen, situated in 
the pleasant and highly productive 
centre of Somerset County. Skillman

Philadelphia, being forty-five miles from 
either, and an important town is rapidly 



Passing Stoutsburg, lying in a rich

wherever the traveler may journey upon 
the widely extended lines of the Phila-

struck with the architectural beauty of

beyond it Pennington, one of New 
Jersey's most delightful towns. It 
contains many homes of wealth and 
culture, and is the site of Penning- 
ton Seminary, a noted educational in- 
stitution. Passing Ewing, we arrive 
at Trenton Junction, distant fifty-eight

miles from New York and thirty- 
two from Philadelphia. Here diverges 
a short branch line running into the city 
of Trenton, New Jersey's capital, and 
the seat of vast and varied industrial 
enterprises. It has a population of 62,- 
000, and is situated on the left b;ink of 
the Delaware River at the head of steam- 
boat navigation. In addition to the 
handsome State Capitol it contains 
numerous imposing public and private 
buildings, line hotels, churches and busi- 
ness edifices, while its residence thor- 
oughfares display many beautiful archi- 
tectural effects, surrounded with ample 
and tastefully laid-out grounds. The 
presence of large deposits of iron ore in 
the vicinity has made it an important 
iron manufacturing centre, while the 




Woodbourne and Glenlake, the stations 
ornate structures of red brick and tile. 
The country hereabouts is lamed alike 
for its picturesque beauty and its fertil- 
ity, and the traveler with artistic eye 
will catch glimpses of man} a pretty bit 
of scenery. At Langhorne, sixty-seven 
miles from New York and twenty-three 
from Philadelphia, the great suburban 
district of the latter city begins. Here 
is located the new and elegant Lang- 
horne Hotel, a favorite summer home of 
Quaker City fashionables, and about it 
have sprung up numerous stately villas 
owned by wealthy and eminent Phila- 
delphians. At Parkland the sect of 
Spiritualists have established a very 
large camp-meeting ground, where, in 
long rows of little cottages strung out

beds of porcelain clay which underlie 
and surround it have rendered it famous 
as the chief seat of the pottery trade in 
America. 

Again starting westward from Tren- 
ton Junction, the Delaware River is 
crossed by means of a magnificent 
bridge which spans not only the river, 
but the entire wide valley. It is con- 
structed on massive granite piers, and is 
considered one of the triumphs of mod- 
ern engineering. The view from the 
bridge, in either direction, is indescrib- 
ably grand. Being now within the bor- 
ders of the Keystone State, the first sta- 
tion reached is Yardlev, a handsome lit- 
tle town on the west bank of the Dela- 
ware, pervaded by a general air of thrifty 
activity. Succeeding it are Makefield, 



through ancient forest aisles, hundreds 
of persons spend the hot weather months 
in sylvan simplicity. 

Neshaminy Falls derives its name 
from the romantic Neshaminy Creek 
which, coming down through a broad 
and wooded gorge, falls over a dam just 
above the high railroad bridge, forming 
a pretty cascade. This is a favorite re- 
sort for large picnic parties from Phila- 
delphia. At Trevose is located Simp- 
son Grove where a great Methodist 
camp-meeting is annually held. Somer- 
ton is a handsome town of suburban 
homes which has recently taken on a 
new impetus of growth, and the favor- 
able conditions by which it is surrounded 
bid fair to make it one of the most pop- 
ulous on the line.

Philmont, Bethayres, Paul Brook, 
Rydal and Noble are typical Philadel- 
phia suburbs, and no city in the world 
is more favored in the advantages which 
it possesses in the way of accessible, 
healthful and beautiful suburbs. The 
country is high and rolling, and, look in 
what direction one may, the views en- 
countered are superb. 

Jenkintown is the junction point 
whence diverges the Reading Railroad's 
Bethlehem Branch, leading up through 
Northern Pennsylvania, the Lehigh. 
Wyoming and Susquehanna Valleys, 
to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and also 
a branch road running into Third and 
Berk streets, Philadelphia, near the 
great textile, iron and ship works that 
abound in the northeastern section of 
the city. Jenkintown itself is a lovely 
suburban place, long fixed in the affec- 
tions of Philadelphians. Postmaster- 
General Wanamaker and other promi- 
nent gentlemen have country houses in 
this vicinity. 

Chelten Hills, Ogontz, Ashbourne, 
Melrose, Oak Lane, Lawnton, Fern 
Rock, Tabor and Logan form a chain 
of suburban settlements that are cer- 
tainly unsurpassed and probably un- 
equaled for natural beauty and artificial 
adornment. The thickly clustered hills 
are dotted far as eye can reach with the 
palatial out-of-town residences of mer- 
chant princes, and the less costly but 
equally tasteful cottages of those more 
modestly endowed in the matter of 
wealth. 

Wayne Junction is the focus and con- 
centrating point of the .entire Reading 
System, and one of the most important 
junction points in America. From this 
busy spot radiate lines of railway toward 
every point of the compass, and the 
traveler, to whatever destination bound 
— be it among New England's rocky 
hills or the bleak fastnesses of Canada ; 
on the far shores of the Pacific or the 
sands of the southern Gulf — may find 
here a direct line. North of Wayne 
Junction are the beautiful regions of 
Gennantown and Chestnut Hill, reached 
by one of the Reading's branches. 

Southward runs the direct line into 
Philadelphia. A station at Ninth Street 
and Columbia Avenue gives convenient 
access to the vast residence area in the 
northern part of the city, while the prin- 



cipal depot and terminus of the Reading 
Railroad is located, for the present, at 
Ninth and Green Streets, within a short 
distance of the public offices, hotels and 
business centers. An elevated railroad 
to carry this line to the geographical 
center of the city is now in course of 
construction. 

Starting again at Wayne Junction, is 
the route taken by the trains of the New 
York and Washington Royal Blue Line. 
Just south of Wayne Junction the train 
passes to the Richmond Branch of the 
Reading Railroad, whence it proceeds 
westwardly, flanked by enormous manu- 
facturing establishments, to the Falls of 
Schuylkill. Here the road is carried 
across the Schuylkill River on a magni- 
ficent double track bridge from which 
the traveler catches his first view of that 
romantically beautiful stream which has 
formed the theme of poetic song. 

At West Falls connection is made 
with the Reading Railroad's main line 
which stretches away to the northwest 
200 miles, into the great coal, iron and 
lumber regions of Pennsylvania, through 
mountain scenery of wonderful grandeur, 
with its innumerable branch roads and 
laterals literally grid-ironing the central 
portion of the State. And now the train 
is moving southward, along the river 
bank, and vistas of surpassing natural 
beaut\' follow one another in quick suc- 
cession. This is Fairmount Park, of 
world-wide fame. Passing the cele- 
brated glen and hill of Belmont, it 
swings across the Schuylkill and runs 
down through the eastern edge of the 
great Park to Girard Avenue Station, 
leaving which there is a plunge into a 
tunnel (where the cars are always lighted 
as at night) and, on emerging, a run of 
few minutes brings the train into the 
magnificent new passenger station of the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at Chest- 
nut and Twenty-fourth Streets, Phila- 
delphia. Leaving the city the route is 
over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, 
known to fame as the " B. & O." with 
the appropriate prefix of "picturesque" 
— this title was acquired before the com- 
pletion of the Philadelphia Division, but 
the acquisition of that division only 
clinched the right to the title — and the 
ride between New York and Washing- 
ton is made attractive by new scenes 
wherein there's many a choice bit, as the

artists say. The traveler accustomed 
to the sameness of frequent journeys of 
the old days when the hours must be 
whiled away with magazines and papers, 
may, if he travels the new line, find 
much to interest if he will look through 
the car window. This interest com- 
mences when the train passes from the 
train shed of the great passenger station 
at 24th and Chestnut streets in Phila- 
delphia, and runs along the eastern 
shore of the Schuylkill in full view of 
the river and the shipping, and crosses 
the stream on a fine steel bridge — com- 
ing to the higher ground of Philadel- 
phia's suburbs, where the beautiful 
views that are so attractive in the ap- 
proach to the city from the north are re- 
peated on the south side. Between the 
hills are rushing streams, and on the 
hills with terraced grounds is many a 
villa and dainty cottage home, graveled 
roads and walks leading from tasty sta- 
tion buildings. Here are the homes of 
business men of Philadelphia, who find 
a convenient and rapid transit on the 
fast and frequent commuters' trains that 
start from 24th and Chestnut streets, 
near the city's centre. Beside these 
newly built houses of modern architec- 
ture there are still standing some relics 
of the old Colonial days in the solid 
stone houses that were farm-houses in 
those days ; and at one place where the 
road crosses an iron viaduct, there 
stands below the track a mill whose 
walls are built so solidly, as was the 
fashion in the -'times that tried men's 
souls," that it might have served as a 
fortress if there was need for the mill to 
stop its more peaceful duty of grinding 
corn, and turn out hot shot for a red- 
skin or a red-coat — I don't say that this 
is the history of the mill, but it might 
have been — anyhow, its old-fashioned 
walls of unhewn rock makes the centre- 
piece of a pretty landscape. The su- 
burban stations here are 60th street, 
Mount Moriah, 70th street. Darby, Llan- 
wellyn, Folsom and Ridley, scarcely a 
mile apart, all rendered pleasing and 
attractive by beds of choice plants and 
flowers and terraced yards. Farther on, 
and eleven miles from Philadelphia, is 
the city of Chester, which lies on the 
east side of the road on the banks of 
the Delaware, whose waters are seen 
across the valleys that gap the interven- 



ing hills, but with no disadvantage to 
the view, however, since a pleasing 
variety is thus given to a prospect that 
might otherwise grow to monotony. If 
an engineer ever ran his surveying 
chains with the idea in view of selecting 
a right of way, affording a continuous 
change of scene, he must have been in 
the employ of the B. & O., and his work 
here leaves pleasant memories to a 
grateful traveler. At Chester are the 
John Roach ship - yards, from whose 
ways have been launched some of the 
finest ships of the United States, as 
well as many in the mercantile navy. 

Following the western shore of the 
Delaware, the road comes to Wilming- 
ton, passing the stations of Upland, 
Village Green, Carpenter, Silver Side 
and Concord. 

The station at Wilmington is a 
model one, and a view of it has been 
selected as an illustration in the B. & O. 
guide books. As the trains approach 
Wilmington from the east they cross 
the "Brandy wine River," a stream rich 
in historic interest. Wilmington is a 
city of ancient renown, dating back to 
the earlier part of the country's history 
as one of great importance for its manu- 
factures in general, and in particular for 
its great ship-yards, from which have 
been launched every kind of craft from 
a man-of-war to a pleasure yacht — ships 
and steamboats — the mammoth and 
magnificent "Puritan" and the "Pil- 
grim" own Wilmington as a birth-place, 
as does also the "Plymouth." These 
are fair examples of the skill of the 
artisans of Wilmington and their chief 
contribution to the American merchant 
marine, while they also claim some of 
the staunchest and fastest of the armored 
cruisers of the Navy of the United States. 
Leaving Wilmington, the line also leaves 
the Delaware, and crossing a narrow 
neck of land comes to the head-waters 
of Chesapeake Bay. As it will be re- 
membered, Concord was passed just 
before reaching Wilmington, and as we 
leave that city scarcely half a score of 
miles we come to Harmony, and it is 
easy to say there is no discord anywhere 
on the line. 

Newark, in the State of Delaware, is 
a town of some importance. The Dela- 
ware State College, the State Normal 
School and the Academy of Newark 



THE ROYAL BLUE LINE.

are located here. Barksdale, Singerly, 
Childs, Leslie and Whitaker follow in 
their order. The stretches of water to 
the east seen from the windows of the 
cars are arms of Chesapeake Bay; they 
come into view at intervals for miles, 
showing the white sail here and there 
of a pleasure boat or a fishing smack. 
The grand view is at the crossing of the 
Susquehanna at Havre de Grace, a point 
long famous as one of the views of 
American travel, even before it could 
be enjoyed from a car window, and when 
the transfer was by boat. The bridge 
which now spans the river is a magnifi- 
cent structure of steel and iron, resting 
on piers of solid stone, and is one of the 
finest examples of modern bridge build- 
ding; the bridge is a long one, and there is 
time to enjoy the views on both sides; on 
the one the waters widen out into Chesa- 
peake Bay far to the eastward, and on 
the other the River Susquehanna comes 
down in a mighty volume, irrigating the 
fertile valley and merging itself here in 
the salt}' seas, having in the main done 
a duty but at times a flood of mischief. 

On the hills to the east stands the 
village of Havre de Grace, where some 
old-time houses are in view. The region 
hereabout is famous in the markets of 
the great cities for its canvas-back duck 
and peaches, the way-back counties of 
Delaware and Maryland on both sides 
of the bay being the haunts of the one 
and the orchards of the other. 

After leaving the river the road runs 
through higher ground with an occas- 
sional glimpse of the bay on the east 
side, passing the finely located stations 
of Osborne, Aberdeen, Stepney, Van 
Bibber, Clayton, Bradshaw, Morrison, 
Matthews, Rossville and Bay View. 

At Baltimore, the first stop is at 
Mt. Royal Station, the most beautiful 
station owned and built by any one rail- 
road in the world. From Mt. Roval the 
famous tunnel under the heart of Balti- 
more, through which trains are run by 
electricity, leads to Camden Station, the 
oldest railway station in the world and 
famous in history. 

Leaving the long train sheds of Cam- 
den it is a mile-a-minute ride oftener 
than a slower one hence to the Capital. 
The route for the first nine miles is that 
of the first passenger railroad of this 
country, anil of the original B. & O. 



which ran from Baltimore to Ellicott's 
Mills, also the route of the first tele- 
graph line in the world; apropos of the 
agitation now as to burying the win s, 
this first line was to be laid in lead pipe 
under ground. The curiously arranged 
plough that was to make the trench is 
still shown; the rocks and roots that im- 
peded the progress of the plough did 
not hinder the stringing of the wires on 
poles, and they have been there ever 
since. 

At Relay the route to Washington 
leaves the old line, and here at the sta- 
tion is one of the very choicest bits. 
The picturesquely built station of blue 
limestone stands in the Y of the two 
tracks in the midst of a pretty little- 
park adorned with rare plants and 
flowers. A playing fountain and a 
monument are the ornaments of the 
grounds that are shaded by a hill covered 
with forest trees through which may be 
seen some summer homes of Baltimore 
people. From the west the Patapsco 
River rolls noisily over a rocky bed 
through what a Westerner would call a 
canon or a Mexican a barranca, a narrow 
valley hedged in by high hills on whose 
sides a winding road reaches the country 
houses on the summits. The monu- 
ment in the park commemorates the 
completion of the Viaduct at Relay, a 
splendid structure built in solid stone 
arches across the Patapsco. On the 
monument are inscribed the names of 
the projectors and builders of the Via- 
duct and the officials of the Company. 
Passing in either direction a look from 
the windows on the east side of the cars 
will afford a view of the Viaduct, the 
station, park, monument and fountain, 
a grouping which makes a picture both 
pleasing and beautiful 

There are stations and stations, of 
more or less attraction, but the fast 
trains have no time to stop; they hurry 
on, even past Annapolis Junction — 
where a branch line leads to the capital 
of Maryland and the seat of the United 
States Naval Academy — over a solid 
double-track roadway where the fastest 
time is possible, and in less time than it 
takes to write the story, the wheels roll 
rapidly into the station that is under 
the very shadow of the Dome of the 
Capitol at Washington. 

The equipment embraces the latest 



22 



THE ROYAL BLUE LINE. 



improvements of locomotive or coach, 
and the newest things on wheels that 
may induce comfort, safety or luxury, 
are in use. 

To write of the Pullman Palace Car 
for Americans to read is to tell an oft- 
told tale whose adjectives run altogether 
in the superlative degree, a story that is 
familiar in all its details of comfort, luxu- 
ry, and magnificence — these, as the 
Spanish say, "go without saying," when 
the Pullman Car is under discussion. 
But it may be said here that all that 
have proceeded from the model car 
shops of the world have examples in 
this equipment, and the very newest, 
the very latest features of use or orna- 
ment are on duty here, or hung up to 
decorate; the sleeping cars with beds of 
ease; parlor cars with chairs and sofas 
of a drawing room; the dining car with 
the china of Dresden, and a larder 
stocked with the cream of the best 
markets in the world, manipulated by 
chefs of French tuition in the art culi- 
naire; the buffet and cafe cars, with all 
these words imply, in eating or drink 
ing, and the smoker with its easy 
chairs where one may loll and lose the 
present, and see in the blue curls of 
the smoke of a fragrant Havana visions 
of the future or call up the dreams of 
the past. All these roll on the wheels 
of the Royal Blue Line, vestibuled under 
one roof, and as the passenger agents 



say, "run solid and without change." 
The coaches, or as one would say, the 
"ordinary day coach," becomes here an 
extraordinary day coach in point of finish 
and appointment of convenience and 
comfort for the traveler whose purse or 
preference may exclude the more exclu- 
sive Pullman car. Well lighted and 
ventilated; comfortable seats, lavatory 
and toilet accommodations for ladies 
and for gentlemen, and every conveni- 
ence found anywhere on wheels, are in 
the day coaches of this line. In fact, 
whether in this car or that, the traveler 
lives in luxury as he rides right royally. 

An additional feature of paramount 
importance is the absolute safety of the 
Royal Blue Line trains. The cars are 
not only vestibuled but they are further 
protected by Pullman's Anti-Telescop- 
ing device, an invention that effectually 
prevents the crushing of the cars in case 
of collision. Furthermore, the cars are 
all lighted by Pintsch gas and heated by 
steam. 

The engines pulling these perfect 
trains have long been the models for 
fast goers. Of great power as well as 
capacity for speed, the percentage of 
arrivals on time is greater than the 
average; and it is a matter of record 
that these locomotives have made the 
figures smaller for the miles traveled,

BOBBIE 



TJOBBIE'S debut in railroad circles at 
Superior was marked by a rather 
peculiar circumstance. 

On June 3, 1893, a forlorn-looking 
fellow, having all of the outward ap- 
pearances of a typical tramp, made 
application for a position as switch- 
man. He was accompanied by a lanky, 
though wiry-looking little dog, with a 
stubby tail which would lead one to 
believe that it had been put through a 
threshing machine. 

"There are two of us." said the 
tramp, ' ' and, if you give us employment, 
I believe you will have no reason to find 
fault with us. " 

"Who is the other?" inquired the 
brawny-looking yardmaster. " Why 
didn't he come with you? I am in need 
of another man. Go get him." 

Then the applicant explained that 
Bobbie, his dog, could make himself 
generally useful about the yards, and he 
asked the privilege of keeping him in 
case he were given employment. 

"I want nothing to do with your 
dog," retorted the yardmaster, "but you 
can go to work if you care to. I will 
say, however, that you may have your 
dog with you about the yards at 'own- 
er's risk.' " 

Early the next morning the new 
switchman was on hand, and accom- 
panying him was the dog, a merry 
twinkle in his eye, as if he saw in his 
surroundings an opportunity to display 
some of his acquired skill. The new 
switchman took his position upon the 
tender of 26, an engine which was used 
almost exclusively for transferring cars 
to and from the coal docks, and to the 
big mills and elevators along the bay 
front. 

It was here that little Bobbie displayed 
his first cleverness. With panther-like 
swiftness he jumped up the side steps of 
the moving engine, and then into the 
cab where the engineer was seated. He 
thenclimbed upon the roof of an attached 
box-car, and sat there until the car was 
properly side-tracked, when he bounded 
to the ground and went back into the 



engine cab to wait the coupling of an- 
other car. The men began to like the 
little fellow, but it was not until some 
weeks after, that they became thorough- 
ly convinced that they could depend 
upon Bobbie's signals as of those of a 
man. When Bobbie wanted the train 
stopped, he would run back and forth 
on the tracks in front of the moving 
engine, and would keep up his manoeu- 
vers until the engineer recognized him by 
a toot of the whistle. When on top of a 
box-car he would signal a train to stop 
by moving his paw up and down; a 
shake of his head was understood by 
the engineer to be a signal to go ahead. 

He was particularly useful at night, 
for the reason that he could stand upon 
the top of a box-car next to the engine, 
where he would duplicate the signals of 
the brakemen at the farthest end of the 
train. He was never known to make a 
mistake, and was never known to meet 
with an accident except the one which 
proved fatal. Bobbie knew the dif- 
ference between the engines in the 
yards, and it was wonderful how he 
could signal down the right one, when 
the yardmaster would dispatch him to 
certain parts of the yards with messages 
for the engineers. He was greatly 
attached to all of the engines and 
their crews, but was particularly so to 
"old 26," the one upon which he com- 
menced his services. 

Bobbie was only an ordinary mongrel 
dog, but there never was, and there 
probably never will be, a dog that will 
have a better knowledge of railroading 
than he. For four years he had been 
in the employ of this northern road, not 
as a watchdog but as a switchman, and 
for faithfulness they never saw his equal. 
He could jump the footboard of the 
moving engine with ease, climb the 
steps of the caboose, and run upon the 
top of the box-cars with rapidity. He- 
had been taught to signal the train, 
swing the lantern in his mouth at night, 
and was particularly useful in carrying 
switch lists from the depot to the train- 
men at the most remote ends of the 



/>■()/>■/:// . 



25 



yard. He could do, in fact, almost 
anything that was required of a brake- 
man with the exception of tightening 
brakes, coupling cars, and climbing the 
ladders on the box-cars. 



"Bobbie'' again rides close to the 
pilot of "old 26." but he dors not jump 
off and on. the way he used to. The 
dog and the engine were regarded as 
inseparable by the train-crew until about 
two months ago, when the frivolous 
little canine slipped beneath the wheels 
of his heartless comrade and was cut 
to pieces. 

The untimely death of the little 
scamp w : as a source of regret among the 
employees generally about the yards, 
ami even by the trainmen along the 
northern division of the road, nearly all 
of whom had known him during the 
years that he had been a railroader. On 
the day of his mishap a number of the 
boys got together and passed a resolu- 
tion to the effect that, if it were possible, 
the animal should be stuffed. Accord- 
ingly a subscription was started among 
the employees, office force included, and 
in less than three days nearly every train- 
man had "chipped in." The mangled 
body of Bobbie was then shipped east. 
Four days later, the foreman in charge 
of the crews, received a telegram that 
the body of the dog was so badly lacer- 
ated that it would be a difficult job to 
stuff the animal, and that the expense 
would be more than the trainmen would 
want to pay. 



•We don't care if it cost Si, 000,'' 
remarked one of the brakemen. "We 
are going to have Bobbie stuffed and 
placed behind the pilot of the engine, 
just where he used to sit.'' 

Nearly every member "I the crew 
agreed, and a telegram was immediately 
sent, instructing the taxidermist to spare 
neither pains nor expense in preparing 
the hide. A second assessment upon 
the boys brought the amount up to > ; 1 >. 
which sum was expended upon the work. 
Bobbie was sent back, looking almost 
as bright and cunning as ever, when the 
boys immediately placed him upon the 
front of the engine pist behind the pilot. 
The employees in the Northwestern 
yard had also known Bobbie for a num- 
ber of years, and one of them suggested 
that a collar should be bought for him. 
Another collection was taken up, and a 
gold collar was purchased immediately. 

Then there came an order from the 
shops at Brainerd, demanding the old 
engine be taken out of service at Supe- 
rior, as it was greatly in need of repairs 
and not fit to work longer. A general 
protest went up all along the line. A pi 
tition to the division superintendent was 
started, and in two days the entire force 
signed, asking the superintendent to 
leave the old engine at Superior, or if it 
must be repaired, to return it as soon as 
the work had been properly executed. 
The engine was sent to the shops for 
repairs and during the interval Bobbie 
occupied a corner on a desk in the 
freight department.

FINNIGIN, FLANNIGAN, ET AL. 



THE story of Finnigin's report to 
Flannigan isn't a new thing, but it's 
a good thing and worthy of being pushed 
along. Every time it is published it 
is read with renewed interest and the 
"bilin' down" of Finnigin's "repoort" 
has become notorious. To help it along 
we reprint it as follows: 

"FINNIGIN AND FLANNIGAN." 

Superintindint wuz Flannigan; 

Boss of the siction was Finnigin. 
Whiniver the kyars got offen the thrack 
An' muddled up things t' th' divil an' 
back, 
Finnigin writ it to Flannigan, 

Afther the wrick wuz all on agin. 
That is, this Finnigin 

Repoorted to Flannigan. 
When Finnigin furst writ to Flannigan, 

He writed tin pages — did Finnigin; 
An' he tould jist how the smash 
occured — 
Full minny a tajus, blundering wuurd 
Did Finnigin write to Flannigan, 

Afther the cars had gone on agin. 
That wuz how Finnigin 

Repoorted to Flannigan. 
Now Flannigan knowed more than 
Finnigin, 
Hid more idjucation — had Flannigan; 
An' it wore 'm clane an' complately out 

To tell what Finnigin writ about 
In his writin' to Mister Flannigan; 

So he writed back to Finnigin: 
"Don't do sich a sin agin, 

Make 'em brief, Finnigin." 
Whin Finnigin got this from Flannigan 

He blushed rosy rid — did Finnigin; 
An' he said: "I'll gamble a whole 
moonth's pa-ay 
That it will be minny an' minny a 
da-ay 
Befoore Sup'rintindint — that's 
Flannigan — 
Gits a whack at this very same sin 
agin. 
From Finnigin to Flannigan 

Repoorts won't be long agin." 
Wan da-ay on the siction of Finnigin, 
On the road sup'rintinded by 
Flannigan, 
A rail give way on a bit av a curve, 
An' some kyars went off as they made 
the swerve: 
"There's nobody hurted," sez Finnigin; 
But repoorts must be made to 
Flannigan." 



An' he winked at McGorrigan, 

As married a Finnigin. 
He wuz shantyin' thin — wuz Finnigin, 

As minny a railroader's been agin; 
An' the shmoky oP lamp wuz burnin' 
bright 

In Finnigin's shanty all that night — 
Bilin' down his repoort, wuz Finnigin; 

An' he writed this here: "Mister 
Flannigan: 
Off agin, on agin, 

Gone agin. — Finnigin." 
A printing house at Christmas time 
sent out this little sketch as a Christmas 
card, with illustrations, and made quite 
a hit. A friend of Finnigin's wrote the 
publisher for a copy and received the 
following reply : 

My Dear Sir : — 

Y'es axed me fur more Finnigin ! 
'Nd I take me pin in hand agin 
To tell ye' be'dad tha'rea// gone agin! 
'Cept thaz wans ye foind widin, 
But we'll put t' toype on agin 
And ez soon ez print'd off agin 
We'll send ye both 

Finnigin an' Flannigan ! 

Trooly Y'rs, "F. C. N." 
Nayther 
Finnigin 
Nor 

Flannigan ! 
The doughty Celt, on receiving this 
letter, recognizing at once one of the 
same cloth, for the letter itself was writ- 
ten on green paper, replied as follows : 
Me dear Misther " F. C. N." 
The litter ye sint me jist kem in; 
So it's in me hand I ta-ake me pin, 
To till ye, furst thing I begin, 
That tho' ye be not Finnigin, 
Nathur Misther Flannigan, 
It's wan av Nature's Noblemin 
Ye are be'dad, an' a gintlemon. 
Now, whin ye gwan the kyars agin 
An' come this wa-ay a thravelin. 
At Baltimoore git off agin — 
Ye'll aisy foind this big bildin 
An' the offis forninst — walk sthraight in ; 
Be gorra I'd like to shake yer fin, 
An' take ye out and fill yer tin, 
So whin ye do go on agin 
Ye'll wish that ye wuz off agin; 
An' naythur know nor care a pin 
What ye did, nor where ye've bin, 
Or whether yer name is "F. C. N." 
Finnigin or Flannigan. 

Yours truly, O'Houligan. 



INTERESTING RAILROAD STATISTICS. 



THE ninth statistical report of the 
Inter-State Commerce Commission 
for the year ending June 30, 1896, gives 

interesting information concerning the 
mileage, equipment, number of em- 
ployes, capitalization and valuation, 
accidents and earnings and expensi s "t 
railways in the United States for the 
year named. One hundred and fifty-one 
roads, representing 30,475 miles ot opi 
rated mileage, were in the hands of re- 
ceivers on J une 30, 189b, a decrease of 
eighteen from the previous year. The 
capital stock represented by the railways 
controlled by receivers was $742,597,698, 
and the funded debt was §999,733,766. 
The total railway mileage on June 30, 
[896, was 182,776, an increase of 2,119 
for the year, Georgia showing the larg- 
est increase, viz., 233 miles. The num- 
ber of locomotives in service was 35.950, 
and of cars of all classes 1.297,649, an 
increase of 251 locomotives and 27,088 
cars. Of the total cars and locomotives, 
448,854 were fitted with train brakes, 
and 545,5*3 with automatic couplers. 
The number of freight locomotives fitted 
with automatic couplers was 3,373 out 
of a total of 20,351, and the cars in freight 
service fitted with train brakes was 
379,058 out of a total of 1,221,887. An 
interesting feature of the report is a sum- 



mary showing the amount ol compensa- 
tion paid to the railway employes of the 
United States who aggregati d 826,820. 

Their aggregate compensation amount- 
ed to over 60 per cent oi the total ope 

rating expenses of all railways, a slight 
decrease from the preceding year. 

Gross earnings amounted to $1,150,- 
t6g 176, an increase of nearly $75,000,- 
000, resulting in a net income of over 
S33,ooo,ooo larger than the previous 
year. Nearly 1,900 employes were 
killed, and almost 30,000 injured during 
the \ ear — increase of fifty in those killed 
and over 4,000 in the number injured. 
One hundred and eighty-one passengers 
were killed, and nearly 3,000 injured. 
The number of persons — other than em- 
ployes and passengers — killed was 4,- 
406, and those injured 5,845. These 
figures include casualties to persons 
reported as trespassers For every 444 
men employed on railways, one was 
killed; and for every twenty-eight men 
employed, one was injured. One train- 
man was killed for each 152 trainmen 
employed, and one trainman was injured 
for each ten men employed. The num- 
ber of passengers carried for one pas- 
senger killed was 2,827,474, and the 
number of passengers carried for one 
passenger injured was 178,132. 



IMPROVEMENTS ON THE B. & O. 



AMONG the many improvements 
along the line of the Baltimore & 
Ohio Railroad which have been inaugu- 
rated by the new management, one of 
the most notable is the new Terminal 
Warehouse at Henderson's Wharf, foot 
of Fell Street, Baltimore, Md. This 
immense structure, 283 feet long, 204 
feet and 6 stories high, was erected at a 
cost of 8150,000.00. The building was 
originally intended for the storage of 
tobacco exclusively. An idea of its size 
may be drawn from the fact that it can 
contain the entire early crop of Mary- 
land tobacco. Besides making provis- 
ions for the storage of this tobacco, the 1 
company has set aside ample space for 
the accommodation of canned goods 
and other freight usually stored in ter- 
minal warehouses. The work of placing 
the cars in front of the warehouse is 
done by an electric motor built for this 
especial work, besides which the eleva- 
tion of the freight is done exclusively 



by electric elevators, thereby cheapening 
the cost of handling to such an extent 
that the warehoue is enabled to present 
the very lowest rates of storage; and, in 
view of its fire-proof construction, the 
rates of insurance placed on articles 
stored therein, are very low. There 
have also been provided ample dock 
facilities for the quick discharge directly 
into the warehouse of cargoes from 
steamers and sailing vessels which may 
land with a cargo for store. The splen- 
did facilities of the Baltimore & Ohio 
Railroad for reaching all points north, 
east, south and west by its fast 
freight trains make this warehouse a 
particularly desirable one for Baltimore. 
The management of the Baltimore & 
Ohio Railroad extends a cordial invita- 
tion to all seeking storage facilities in 
Baltimore, to inspect this building be- 
fore deciding on a place for the safe 
keeping of their goods.

r ASHINGTON! 
At the mention 
ofthe name there 

rises before us 
a portrait stamp- 
ed indelibly on 
the mind of 
every American 
citizen, the first 
impression of 
which was made 
in early child- 
hood. 

What child 
of American 
parents to-day 
that is old enough to understand, 
does not recognize the portrait which 
introduces this article? Is there a man 
who calls himself an American citizen 
who does not feel a thrill of pride when 
he gazes upon this portrait that has 
adorned every freedman's home in 
America ? 

To Washington has been built a 
monument towards which the eyes of 
every nation on the globe look with won- 
derment. 

The beautiful city which bears his 
name and perpetuates the principles 
laid down by this greatest of rulers, has 
been the cynosure of the eyes of empires 
for more than one hundred years. In 
it there are no palaces built by indi- 
viduals who have drawn their wealth 
from the taxes imposed upon fellow 
beings for their own aggrandizement, 
but instead, there are palaces of a natii in 
built by freednun, which are used not 
for residences, but for the business of a 



Republican Government and a Demo- 
cratic people 

The average American, as he picks 
up his morning paper, scans the col- 
umns on the first page and quickly reads 
the news of the nation. He may or 
may not have time to peruse the details 
of the daily happenings at Congress, 
but he is privileged to read the head 
lines which skilled modern journalism 
so manipulates as to boil down the con- 
tents of a dispatch and tell the news in 
fewest possible words. If he is inter- 
ested in Cuba he will find news which 
may either satisfy or displease him, 
according to his enlightenment on the 
subject ; and as he is an American 
citizen he has a right to his own views. 
The question of annexation of Hawaii 
may be his hobby ; or perhaps he may 
be interested in the monetary system of 
the United States government. He 
may have his own ideas as to whether 
silver or gold is the better standard, or 
he may be interested in the next move- 
ment of government towards building 
war ships, since this theme has become 
one of gravest consideration. His 
attention may be directed to the pension 
bills, post-office improvement bill, agri- 
cultural bills, or any of the endless 
chain of bills which have been drafted 
and have come before Congress in either 
of its bodies or awaiting their turn 
to be thoroughly digested into laws. 

All of these things happen at Wash- 
ington, and while the busy law makers 
are absorbed in their daily taskof forming 
a government for a seventy-two millions 
of people, these people acquiesce or

give their dissent to the conclusion 
arrived at with the haughty demeanor 
of kings. But regardless of opinions 
there arises in the hearts of this great 
people a pride in their national capitol 
and in the emissaries which have been 
sent from the many Congressional dis- 
tricts. This is the greatest pride en- 
joyed by any country. 

To think of Washington City is to 
bring to mind at once the great capitol 
building with its majestic and symmetri- 



portant than the nation's law makers. 
This grand organization is known 
to the world as the National Educational 
Association. They are the teachers 
who have the first care and government 
of the minds of coming generations ; 
they are the ones who have assumed the 
greatest responsibility of a human life. 
It depends upon their knowledge and 
good judgment and to their powers of 
transmission whether future law makers, 
who may enter the portals of the

cal dome towering high into the sky. 
This great white building, with its Grec- 
ian colonnades, inspires a man with dig- 
nity and respect, for whatever his politi- 
cal opinions are he is bound as a citizen 
to abide by the laws which have been 
made therein. 

In July, 1898, there will gather in 
this city a body of men and women 
whose business in life is far more im- 



nation's forum will be wise or foolish. 

That Washington should be selected 
as a place of gathering for the teachers of 
this nation is a matter of profound signifi- 
cance. The minds which feed other 
minds must naturally be fed, and the law 
of supply and demand is forever enacted. 

Washington is a source of everlast- 
ing knowledge and information and is 
a teacher of teachers. It furnishes

embryonic material for years to come. 
The teacher who has studied Wash- 
ington and in after times will impart to 
the pupils in the school room the knowl- 
edge obtained, is well in position to sow 
the seeds of progressive manhood or 
womanhood. When a child commences 
its studies it begins with the alphabet 
and its mind is prepared for what is to 
come thereafter; when a person decides 
upon a journey the fundamental princi- 
ple is his destination, and instantly there 



To introduce Washington as a city, 
an interesting bit of history might be 
repeated. On September 5, 1774, tr "e 
Continental Congress held its session in 
Philadelphia. In those trying times no 
definite meeting place for the represent- 
atives from the thirteen Colonies had 
been decided upon on account of the 
formidable position of the British Army 
all along the line of the Eastern Shore 
from Massachusetts to the Carolinas. 
Congress moved from Philadelphia to

arises in his mind visions of his arrival 
at the aforesaid destination, and it is to 
this end that a description of Washing- 
ton is deemed necessary. 

It is conceded that a "visit'' is 
bounded chronologically by a time of 
arrival and a time of departure. Cir- 
cumstances in all cases are not alike 
and the proper description of Washing- 
ton in this instance will enable the visi- 
tors to make the most profitable use of 
their time. 



Baltimore, thence back to Philadelphia, 
and then in turn to Princeton, N. J.. 
Annapolis, Md., Trenton, N. J., and 
then to New York, where it continued 
its place of meeting until the adoption 
of the Constitution of the United States, 
in 1 778. Then came a fight for permanent 
possession of Congress by the cities and 
each State wanted the honor. New York, 
Philadelphia and Baltimore were the 
cities who had the greatest claims, but an 
amicable settlement of this pleasant

rivalry was made when the Government 
decided to buy a tract of land on 
the Potomac River and there establish 
the National Capital. This territory 
was called the District of Columbia and 
was to be under direct Government con- 
trol independent of all States. 

At this time the duty of laying out 
the new city was intrusted to Major 
Pierre C. L'Enfant, a French officer 
who had served in the American Army.

building, which rises in inspiring state- 
liness but one block away. The present 
structure was rebuilt in 1840, the old 
Capitol being inadequate to hold the 
representatives from rapidly increasing 
States. At this time it was supposed 
the natural growth of the city would be 
eastward, and consequently the most 
elaborate front is on that side ; and the 
Statue of Liberty, surmounting the dome, 
was placed facing the east in an- 
ticipation of the future city. Fate 




ferson, then Secretary of State, approved 
the plans laid out by this officer. The 
history of the building of Washington, 
its subsequent fires and destruction of 
prominent buildings, either by war or 
from natural causes, will be passed. 

As the tourist enters the city over 
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad the dome 
of the Capitol first commands his atten- 
tion from the car window, and alighting 
from the train he is at once impressed 
with the grandeur of this magnificent

however, decreed otherwise, and the 
town grew to the northwest ; and were 
it not for the new Congressional Li- 
brary, which is east of the Capitol, the 
great statue would remain with her back 
to all of the public buildings. 

Probably the grandest view of the 
Capitol is obtained from the Peace Mon- 
ument, at the west entrance to the 
grounds. As the visitor's time is gener- 
ally limited, the most economical meth- 
od of seeing the interior properly is to

employ one of the many licensed guides 
at a nominal fee. By so doing, all the 
valuable points of interest will be shown 
and the visitor will go away with great- 
er satisfaction, as these experienced 
guides know every nook and crevice of 
the great building. 

The Congressional Library is imme- 
diately across the street, to the east of 
the south wing of the Capitol. This is 
conceded to be the most magnificent 
building of its kind in the world and has 



with a thick coating of gold leaf. The 
cresting of the dome above the lantern 
terminates in a gilded finial, represent- 
ing the Torch of Science. The decora- 
tions, exterior and interior, are so elab- 
orate as to require description in another 
article. Suffice it to say, that of all the 
buildings in Washington, this one alone 
appeals stronger to the Educational As- 
sociation than all the rest. An official 
guide book is sold on the premises.

but recently been completed. Its fame 
has become so great that tourists with 
limited time proceed first to the Capitol 
and then to the Library. 

Some idea of the magnificence of 
this building may be conveyed to the 
mind when it is known that the cost of 
grounds and construction was S6, 600,- 
000. 

The great golden dome first im- 
presses one with its lavish extravagance.

House," as it is more generally known, 
is the next important point of interest. 
As the dwelling of the President it is 
sacred in the eyes of the American peo- 
ple. The original White House was 
destroyed in 1814 and rebuilt the next 
year from plans made by the original 
architect. The East Room, which is 
the famous State parlor, is open to visi- 
tors from ten to two, daily except Sun- 
days and holidays. It is in this room 
that the famous full length portraits

of Washington, Martha Washington, 
Jefferson and Lincoln are hung. 

In architectural importance, the 
Treasury Building comes next. The im- 
posing colonnade of Doric columns 
along its east front is copied from the 
Temple of Minerva, at Athens. The 
tour of this building may be made only 
between the hours of eleven and twelve 
and one and two. This is the bank of 
the Nation. The Bureau of Engraving 
and Printing is a branch of the Treas- 



original Declaration of Independence, 
together with many personal relics of 
George Washington are among the 
treasures of this Department. The 
original copy of the Declaration, it will 
be remembered, may not be seen, and 
it is preserved in an indestructible steel 
safe. An exact fac-simile is on exhibi- 
tion instead. 

The Patent Office is a museum in it- 
self, containing models of all machines, 
implements and appliances of every de- 




ury, but requires an immense building 
of its own, as shown in the illustration. 
To study the making of money properly 
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing 
should be visited first. 

The great granite structure of the 
State, War and Navy Departments is 
said to be the largest office building in 
the world. In it are the offices of the 
Secretary of War and Secretary of the 
Navy and the innumerable offices con- 
nected with their Departments. The 



scription which are products of Ameri- 
can skill and inventive genius. 

The Smithsonian Institution and 
National Museum commands more time 
for research and study than any of the 
other public buildings. It is the great- 
est "object lesson" in existence and 
treats of every condition under the sun. 
Millions of objects are within the walls, 
and the mind is incapable of grasping 
all within reach. 

The Pension Building is an office

with no especial interest, but worthy of 
a visit because of its immensity It is 
here the great inauguration balls are 
held. 

The New Corcoran Art Gallery de- 
serves special mention for its treasures 
of art in paintings and sculptures. 

The visitor in Washington must be 
strong physically to see all the city af- 
fords. With the principal points of in- 
terest mentioned, there are to be seen 
Washington Monument, Post Office De- 



partment, Agricultural Department, 
U. S. Coast Survey, Army Medical Mu- 
seum, Navy Yard, Soldiers' Home, Na- 
tional Observatory, Botanical Garden 
and numerous other attractions of more 
than usual interest. 

Above all things a pilgrimage to Mt. 
\ ernon should not be forgotten. It is 
a delightful trip of but a few hours and 
is ever a pleasant memory as an homage 
to the l'ather of the greatest Nation on 
the globe.

The latter act placed the work under

undoubtedly rivet his attention.

all probability is decorated more exten-

This building is the largest, safest

The railing posts support lamps of

Pausing on this broad and symmetri- 
cal entrance Pavilion I gazed, with spirit, 
proud, and rapturous thoughts, upon

ninety-five feet above the ground; a land-

adornment, in the perfect adaptation to 
the purpose for which it is intended, the 
Library of Congress stands to-day as 
America's highest Architectural achieve- 
ment. It is the product of American 
talent, art and workmanship; its archi- 
tects, painters and sculptors are all 
American citizens." 

There is no better object lesson to 
teach patriotism than the National Libra- 
ry. Let the man of the people, with his 



comprises about eight acres and the 
building has over 2,000 windows. 

In style, both exterior and interior, 
the Library is of the Italian Renais- 
sance, faces west, and is in length four 
hundred and seventy feet and in depth 
three hundred and forty feet. 

The general plan, as shown in the 
sketch, is in form of a large rectangle, 
including a cross which divides the area 
into four courts. These courts are about

To construct it was required 409,000 
cubic feet of granite, 500,000 enameled 
brick, 22,000,000 red brick, 3,800 tons 
of steel and iron and 73,000 barrels of 
cement. 

Excepting the cellar, the floor space 



one hundred and fifty feet long by one 
hundred feet in width on west side of

feet in width on east side. 

The octagon shaped rotunda occu- 
pies the central portion of the structure 
and from four of its sides radiate the 
arms of the cross-shaped building, which 
contain the book stacks. This portion 
of the construction is of enameled brick 
of a very light yellow. The rotunda or

main reading room is topped with a 
huge copper covered dome of noble pro- 
portions which is rendered all the more 
conspicuous by a film of gold of twenty- 
three karats with which, at an expense 
of §3,800 this great dome was covered, 
excepting the ribs. 

The exterior walls are constructed 
of a close-grained granite from quarries 
located at Concord, New Hampshire, 
and is used rough in the basement story, 
more finely dressed in the first story, 



east and west sides into pavilions, which 
are a trifle higher than the rest of the 
building, and are of more ornate finish. 
An example of the unique in archi- 
tecture is the scheme of decoration of 
the first story window keystones with 
ethnological heads. There are thirty- 
three of these heads, each about eigh- 
teen inches in height, modeled by 
Messrs. Boyd & Ellicott after casts and 
data from Professor Mason of the Na- 
tional Museum.

and entirely smooth in the second story. 

In height the building is seventy- 
two feet; divided, basement fourteen 
feet; first story, twenty- one feet, and 
second story twenty-nine feet, the bal- 
ance of eight feet being in base of build- 
ing and in the balustrade surmount- 
ing it. 

As a relief to possible monotony the 
walls are projected at the four corners 
of the building and in the center of the 



All of these heads are chiseled after

most interesting of architectural embel-

This work was rendered all the more 
difficult by reason of the use of a coarse- 
grained stone (granite), made necessary

construction being of the same material. 

As a relief to the eye the second 
story windows are finished with a balus- 
trade, and have pediments alternately 
rounded and triangular. 

A decided feature of the second story 
front is a portico with twin columns, 
which are of single shafts of stone, 
capped with exquisitely carved Co- 
rinthian capitals. 

Onto this portico open seven large 
windows, over each of which is a circu- 
lar window. These round windows 
frame very effectively granite busts of 
men famous in the world's great litera- 
tures. 

The spandiel effects of the entrance 
porch by Mr. B. L. Pratt are in keeping 
with the very artistic bronze doors, and 
are arranged in three groups represent- 
ing Literature, Art and Science. 

Famous throughout the land are the 
bronze doors by Randolph Rogers at 
the Capitol, and equally known through- 
out the world should be the beautiful 
conceptions in bronze of Messrs. Warner 
& Macmonnies closing the portals of this 
palatial home of literature and fine arts. 

The central door is Macmonnies', and 
symbolizes "The Art of Printing, "with 
the tympanum picturing " Minerva Dif- 



fusing the Products of Typographical 
Art." 

To the left is the equally famous 
bronze door by Mr. Warner, typifying 
'•Tradition," and to the right a door 
begun by the same artist but finished by 
Mr. Herbert Adams, representing 
"Writing." 

This series of pictorial doors, so full 
of beautiful detail and standing for 
Tradition, Writing and Printing are 
commemorative of the meansof transmis- 
sion of thought as embodied in the 
science, the architecture and the arts of 
the whole human family. 

Entranced, I stood at the entrance of 
this great building and forming, from 
the beauty of exterior, an idea of 
the interior, passed into the Grand En- 
trance Hall. With a sensation of awe, 
closely akin to the feeling I experienced 
in first viewing Niagara and the Natural 
Bridge of Virginia, my eye glanced from 
one beautiful object to another ; from 
brilliant mosaics to sculptured shapes 
of surpassing grace ; to paintings, not of 
old masters, but of that strong, vigor- 
ous, healthful American school that 
slowly but surely is forging to the front, 
thinking erstwhile that truly "a thing 
of beauty is a joy forever." 






THE MOST INSTRUCTIVE ROUTE TO WASHINGTON. 



* 1 'HE most instructive, historical and 
scenic route to Washington is the 
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. This is an 
important feature to teachers and their 
friends who contemplate attending the 
meeting of the National Educational 
Association, in July. It is a matter of 
great importance that the time going 
and returning should be utilized to best 



inally laid out over a hundred years ago. 
It is over the route which Washington 
took to Western Pennsylvania in the 
early days of the French and Indian war. 
For more than one hundred and fifty 
miles out of Washington the Baltimore 
& Ohio Railroad follows the historic 
Potomac River, through beautiful val- 
leys, rich in the lore of love and war.

advantage, and the superiority of this 
line from both East and West to Wash- 
ington is indisputed. 

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is 
the oldest railroad in America and the 
first to cross the country from the At- 
lantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. 
Its path through the Allegheny Moun- 
tains is through the most picturesque 
region of the East, and the scenery un- 
equaled by any other line. Its double 
track traverses the National Road, orig-

At Harper's Ferry, where the Shenan- 
doah River cuts its way through the 
grand mountain walls of Virginia and 
West Virginia to meet the Potomac, the 
scenery is unexcelled by anything in the 
Alps of Switzerland. 

The view up the Shenandoah from 
Jefferson's Rock, on Bolivar Heights, is 
an inspiration of nature. Close by the 
station and within a few feet of the track 
stands the monument to the illustrious 
John Brown, alongside of which are the

the rebellion at that point. 

Between Harper's Ferry and Cum-

and the towns of Shenandoah Junction, 
Kearneysville, Martinsburg and Sir 
John's Run are recalled instantly with 
some connection, either with Revolu- 
tionary times or with the late war.

Bancroft, at a dinner at the Burnet 
House, at Cincinnati, in 1857, are ap- 
plicable to-day :

mountain scenery is superbly grand. 
The valleys of the Youghiogheny and 
Monongahela furnish an endless variety 
of nature's handiwork. At Connells- 
ville and the surrounding district are 
the greatest coke regions of the world. 

Between Cumberland and Parkers- 
burg, on the Cincinnati and St. Louis 
line, another varied view of the moun- 
tain scenery is presented. The grade 
from Cumberland up the mountain is 
perceptible at all times until the 



cenery through which it makes its way has a 
character of grandeur of its own, and in the wonder- 
ful varieties of forest and lawn, of river and moun- 
>i nature in her savage wildness, and nature 
in her loveliest forms, presents a series of pictures 
which no well educated American should willingly 
leave unvisited. We cross the Atlantic in quest of 
attractive scenes, and 1"! we have at home alongside 
of the great central iron pathway views that excel 
anything that can be seen among the mountains of 
Scotland or in the passes oi the Vppenines, 

When we came to the Alleghenies, on the east, 
we all saw the steepness of the dividing ridge, that 
seemed impassable. But a railroad is a work of
