PEN MAR-HIGH ROCK.


Western BAaryIAnd's Famous EN-.
curstOn Point and Summer Resort.
0ne OF the most pleasant places for
days visit or a longer sojourn, is Pen
Mar, on the Western Maryland railroad,
about ~ miles from Baltimore. II is
located on the dividing line between
Pennsylvania and Maryland, almost on
the summit Of the Blue Ridge Mountains,
and commands as fine a stretch Of
mountain and valley scenery as can be
obtained this side OF the Rocky Mountains.
The two great attractions of Pen Mar
are High Rock and Mt. Quirauk. The
former Ia an elevated plateau, on the
mountain top, surmcunted by large,
rugged rock, upon which has been con-
struoted an observatory about go feet In
hight. From the tower Of this observa
tory, 1900 feet above the level Of tine
sea, can be obtained one OF the most
magnificent views imaginable. 1t en-
braces full sweep Of the beGuti
full Cumberland valley, extending to
the towering peaks Of the Alleghenies, IS
miles away. The broad acres are dotted
with numerous towns and villages, and
the bustling little city OF Hagerstown, 16
miles distant, can be distinctly seen with
the naked eye, while by the aid of the
powerful glasses with which the OBJ
servatory is provided its streets and
houses can be distinctly outlined.
| Waynesboro', 8 miles to the northwest,
also forms pretty picture, and the
glasses bring IL so close that people can
be seen walking along the streets.
From the railroad station High Rock Ia
reached by teams, which drive over a
mountain road for length Of two miles,
rising gradually until the summit Ia
reached. The fare for this drive ia only
Is cents for the round trip. Mt Quirauh
is mile further than High Rock and 500
feet higher. 1t is also provided with 81
observatory for the accommodation o
visitors. For trip to Mt. Qnirauk snt
return the fare is but Is cents.
Wilmington people who desire to visi
these charming points Of interest cal
accomplish the trip in a aingls day b,
leaving here at o'clock in the morning
for Baltimore, and boarding the Pen Ma
excursion train which leaves UniOi
station at 905 O'Clock. The excursion
fare from Baltimore to Pen Mar an,
return is but 81. Returning the trail
reaches Baltimore at Is o'clock, thong
arrangements could doubtless be made
return ON an esrler train, and arrive a
r Union station in time to take the 7.3

His eyes glance quick, and his fingers pick
The types at rapid pace.
And one by one as the letters go,
Words are piled up steady and slow
Steady and slow,
But still they grow,
Aud words of fire they soon will glow.
Wonderful words, that without sound
Shall traverse the earth to Its utmost bound
Words that shall make
The tyraut quake,
And the bonds of the slave and oppressed shall
break;
Words that can crumhle an army's might,
Yet the types they looked but leaden and dumt
AS he put them in place with his finger and
thumb.
But the printer smiled,
And his work begutled
By chanting a song as the letter Is piled;
While pick Hnd click

Like the worlds ohronon.etei tick, tick, tick
Oh, where is the man, with simple tools,
Can govern the world like ?

Colonel Routh Goshen, better known
as Barnum's Arabian Giant, left his farm
In Somerset county, N. j., yesterday week,
and walked into Lawyer John Voorhees,
office In New Brunswick to consult about
suit he has brought against his
wife, Mary Louisa Goshen, for d.
vorce. Col. Goshen was in civilian dress,
and was only 7 feet II inches high. This
decrease in hight wss explained to be due
to the fact that he was not on public ex.
hibition. On such occasions be wears
white plumed helmet and ia just feet
high. Very few people knew that he
was in town, and 1t was afterward re-
ported that his Wait was made for the
purpose of disoontinuing his suit.
Mra. Goshen IL a stout, dark com
plexi0ued woman Of average hight, who
is now about 50 years old. She Ia a
cousin OF the fat woman who was the
second biggest thing in the Townsend
show that the colonel Travelled with a.
giant before the war, after he left Bar.
NUNS employ. She first met the colonel
20 years ago in Algonquin, Illinois. She
was then Miss Mary Weloh,a 15.ysar. old
girl Of Blsin, Illinois, with long, dark
ringlets, big black eyes and a Partially
for tall men.
In last March, while she was In the
west, Col. Goshen, through his counsel,
made an application for divorce to Chan
oellor RunyOn, alles n that Lis wife had
been intimate with two men who Lad
been visiting the farm. Notice Of the APP
plicatIon was officially published on March
Sth, and some time later copy was sent
to Mrs. Goshen, who returned from E!gin
on May I'd.
MIRA. Goshen read II, tied on her boo
net; and hurried into the office Of Lawyer
James Van Cleef in New Brunswick.
"This is all untrue" she cried ,linging
down copy Or her husbands charges,
"and want you to fight it out"
\ Then she sat down and told the lawyer
what she said was the true history Of the
case, and he drew up an answer to the
giants complaint, 1t denied the charges
OF infidelity, and made counter chargef
against the big colonel Of intimacy with
three different women. 1t v as formally filed
on May 10Th, and Chancellor Runyon sp,

Last month, after several hearings in tn,
case, Chancellor Runyon entered an or

s10 week alimony pending the hear

last week the giant had paid the fee ant
