BRITISH AMERICANS.
They Have Organized Society, and Ar
Cnir Int

They Have Organized Society, and Arc
Going Into Politics.
The English editors are greatly interested
in the new political organization of British
born Americans. The basis reason assigned
for it is that the Protestant English, Scotch,
Welsh and Ulster Irish in the United States
are at least a third as numerous as the Cath
olic Irish, and as the latter are active politi-
clans, the former should get naturalized and
60 into politics.
Their organ is The British-American, edited
by ]. Henry Williams, from Glasgow, and
published by Richard G. Holman, from Lon
don, aged respectively SO and 81 years. Will
liam Nelson Bartram, president OF tie asso-
citation for New York, was born in Norfolk,
England, in 1881, and came to the United
States in 1869. Other prominent members
and organizers are John Kenworthy for
Pittsburg, Angus G. Macdonald, Of the Clar
Ronald Macdonald of Kinlockmoydart, bus
now Of Brooklyn; Erastus Wiman, the noted
Canadian-American, of New York city, and
Mr.. Ernest Rowden, treasurer, native Of
Wiltshire and resident of Brooklyn.

In the West Point Cemeterv.

Most famous people inferred in the West
Point cemetery have well marked graves, and
not q few have elaborate memorials. Gen.
Winfield Scott lies here. His monument is
rough granite cenotaph that lies fiat upon
the ground and is surrounded by an iron rail-
ing that ought to be removed, or, better vet,
ought never to have been placed here The
inscription covers the entire north side Of the
huge cenotaph, and recounts the services Of
the old warrior, concluding with the observa-
tion that laudatory inscription is upneces-
sary, because the deeds of Scott are engraven
upon the memories of mankind.
Beneath a cenotaph almost exactly like
that of Gen. Scott's lie the remains Of Col.
Anderson, who commanded at Fort Sumter
lived until some years after the close Of the
war, dying at last in Italy, from whence his
remains were brought to West Point for in
terment. The cenotaph is just across the
walk from that over Gen. Scott.
Nearly in the center Of the plot is inferred
the body Of George A. Custer. His monu-
ment is huge block Of rough granite, a
dozen or so feet in height. The top is per-
fectly plain, but upon the sides are four
bronze medallions, circular in shape, and
bearing appropriate 1uScIlpUlOuS. Two OF
them recount his family history and the
tragic manner of Clusters death in the battle
Of Little Big Horn, and the other two are
symbolic, buffalo heads, Indian arrows and
maize being prominent.
Other famous soldiers inferred here are
Gen. Audenreid, Gen. Judson Fitzpatrick and
Col. Thayer, the latter the father of the
ncademy, as he is affectionately referred to,
and whose life size statue stands at the south
east corner of the infantry plain and imme-
diately in front of cadet barracks. 1t is the
custom to bury cadets when they die in the
institution in the pretty cemetery here and
to give them full military honors. This is
invariably done unless the family Of the de-
ceased cadet requests otherwise. The latter
is rare, and as consequence large part of
the cemetery is given up to students These
graves ere generally marked in modest
manner by small stones erected by class
mates of the dead cadet. It is said here that.
following the custom set by Gen. Winfield
Scott, who asked to be inferred here, future
generals of the army are to lie here-West

chambers, galleries and grand ceilings and
domes, all beautifed with innumerable
stalactites, stalagmites, crystals and curious
formations The wonders of these caverns
have attracted eminent eastern biologists and
scientists.
At Manitou hot day is never known. The
air is brisk and exhilarating, and the nights
are delightfully."- cool and pleasant. Travellers
to Pixies Peak summit often encounter a
rain or hail storm, and during July of this
year sixty or seventy tourists enjoyed the
sensation of a snow storm in midsummer at
the signal service station, which is located at
the summit of the peak.
Great Salt lake is one Of the most wonder
full bathing places in the world
Garfield beach for bathing is equal if not
superior to any found at the seaside resorts
of the east. A magnificent dancing and con-
cert pavilion has been built out in the lake
400 feet from the shore, and is approached
by wide pier over 800 feet in length. A
commodious promenade is built around the
entire building, affording view ST bathers
and surrounding scenery. Over 800 dressing
rooms are located at the edge of the water.
In July and August the water becomes de-
iciously warm. 1t is so dense that one sus-
taius himself indefinitely without effort, and
vigorous constitutions experience no incon-
venieace from remaining in it a long time.
A more delightful and healthy exercise than
buffetins its waves when little rough can
hardly be imagined But for its tendency to
float the limbs to its surface, and the neces-
sity of keeping it out Of the nostrils, it would
afford the best swimming school in the
world. You dash into the midst of the
snowy billows and swim without effort, rock
and whirl up and down, round and round tc
the rhythm of the bands Of music, and all the
while the winds sing in chorus, the foam
breaks over you in snowlke crystals; the
cool, fragrant brine searches every fiber Of
your body, and at the end Of your swim you
are tossed ashore by the swelling waves,
braced and salted and clean.
That is the experience Of some But not Of
all If one is not cautious he will experience
sensation in his first bath that will make
him never forget his visit to Salt Lake. The
density Of the water is SO great that when the

There are two things necessary for the
tourist to have in order to enjoy himself in
the great western resorts-a pocketful Of
money and six weeks of leisure time Then
there is no bar to the pursuit Of health and
happiness The starting point to these
resorts is Denver, the giant city Of the plains.
Take a train towards the north, west or
south, and one will soon run into region
that has been endowed with certain dis
tinctive characteristics of greatest interest to

was soon developed, and for years he repre-

Later he was called to preside over the affairs

Stanley Africanus is still lost in the wilder
