sue for peace in the bitter wars that ragged
between them for over ten years. Mr.. Bar
mum every time sought Mr.. Forepaugh, and
three times were armistices signed by them.
In 1884 the great white elephant clash be-
tween the two famous showmen occurred.
Mr. Barnum extensively advertised his sacred
white animal from Siam as the greatest at
traction ever offered to the public Mr.. Fore
paugh kept silent, but just before the season
opened he sprung his white elephant the
country. The Barnum folks claimed that it
was only vile painted imitation Of the genu-
inc article, but Forepaugh secured a certif-
cate from the professor of natural history in
Michigan university to the effect that the
Forepaugh elephant was not only genuine,
but that it was the only genuine one in the
country.
Mr.. Forepaugh always travelled with his
show, and even purchased the provisions for
his employees meals. He catered on the route
for all the attaches of his circus, the perform
ers, musicians and business staff dining in a
special car, and the laboring force in a camp
on the show grounds. The following anus
ing anecdote serves to illustrate his shrewd-
ness: Once, in Holyoke, Mass, he was pur-
chasing a quantity of provisions from a
grocer, telling him to charge them to 'the
steward of the Forepaugh show" When he
had completed his purchases he said: Isn't
there something in this transaction for me!"
the remark being instigated by the fact that
stewards of hotels, steamboats,, ETC., are fire.
quently brbed by those of whom they make
their purchases. The grocer quietly handed
him 81 bill, and then extended the account
to be marked correct by the supposed
steward. The circus manager wrote upon it:
90 K, Adam Forepaugh." The grocer
gazed upon it and then looked as though he
wished the earth would open and swallow
him. Forepaugh said nothing, but smiled
audibly and walked away. But he put the
81 note deep down in his vest pocket
Adam Forepaugh lived in and for his cir
Gus. His show was his first thought in the
morning and his last at night. Only recently
he said; 81 have a boy and Mr.. Barnum has
none My show will outlast his"
One of the striking things about Mr.. Fore
paugh was his marked resemblance to
Chauncey NJ. Depew. They looked enough
alike to pass for twin brothers, and the re-
semblance caused considerable amusement to
both men, so widely different in tempera-
ment and tastes, and yet much alike in
that kind of executive ability that calls for
complete management of a great business
enterprise

farmers of foreign BIRTH too, have a way Of
regarding the Garden as a vast matrimonial
agency and writing to Superintendent Jack
son to find them wives. He receives on an
average two hundred such letters year, but
pays no attention to them.

a great field for missionaries There are sew
enteen connected in various ways with the
place. Of these S. Goldstein, representing
the American Tract society and Ernest Jack
son, representing the New York Bible society,
deserve especial mention.
Mr.. Jackson has testaments in twenty-one
different languages, which are distributed
free among the immigrants, and Bibles which
are sold at cost to those who have money or
given to the destitute. Mr.. Goldstein bears
the distinction of being the only man about
the Garden "ho can speak Armenian, Arabic
and Greek. He adds to his work of distribut-
ing Bibles and tracts that of giving clothes to
the needy. He has devoted his life to this
labor of love, and while many cast eff gar
nents are furnished to him by charitable
people land they could not be sent to better

money well as his time when occasion re-

rows who fly chirping and chattering about

face and heard a deal of hearty laughter and
CHEEKY talk but, alasl the tears and the
grief dried eyes, the sobs and the hoarse
chuckle of despair, have not been wanting.
Several times since the deSertion of the
building as a fort, it has been besieged by
bowling mobs, But their cries have told of
woe, not of war. The ships that were to
bring their loved ones-their mothers and
fathers, their SONS and daughters, their wives
and sweethearts-from former homes in far
away lands had gone down with their precious
freight. AT first the ship, perhaps had failed
to arrive ON the specified day. 1t has been
delayed, they thought. We will come again
tomorrow. And on the morrow they were
there, and on the next day and the next; but
the ship did not come in. IL had been de-
layed indeed-and foreverl Several of the
present attaches of the Garden remember
all too wildly the time, fifteen or sixteen
years ago, when the White Star line steamer
Atlantic was lost off Nova Scotia Even
now they speak with shudder of the disap-
pontment, the anxiety and quick succeeding
despair of the friends and relatives who APP

meet her passengers. The meetings were to
take place on another shore than that of
America, and in another land than the
United States.

The Row Among the Scientists.

For a long while there have been ominous
mutterings in scientific circles in the United
States, and recently war was declared be-
tween two factions which bids fair to rival
any similar previous nt,St in America.
Professor r. d. Cope, of the University Of
Pennsylvania, has brought charges against
Maj. John W. Powell director of the United
States geological survey, and Professor o. C.
Marsh, his assistant and professor in Yale
college.
The charges are that the United States
geological survey has come to be a great po-
litical machine; that places are given TO sons
of congressman for political favor, and that
Professor Marsh, with the knowledge of his
chief, has issued reports which were a collec-
ton of plagiarisms. Maj. Powell and Pro
fessor Marsh have published statements deny
ing the allegations.

DREAMS.


In dreams walk in pleasant ways,
BY limpid streams in sunny dells,
Where peace abides and beauty dwells,
And splendors glow through happy days
dream of friends whose faith is fast,
dream of love that cannot fail
OF JOYS that never tire nor pale,
of hopes that beckon till the last.
In dreams hear the songs Of birds
see the shores of happy lands,
feel the clasp of loving hands,
I catch the drift of tender words.
They are but dreams, and |, alas,
Awake to weep my vanished blissl
Awake to feel the truth of this
That dreams can never came to pass.
sometimes wish ne'er had dreamed
About the things long for so,
For then my heart might never know
How dear their sweet fulflllment seemed.
Still let me dream, for oftentimes
The path is drear, the day is bleak,
My soul so sad, my heart so weak,
fain would hear the happy chimes
The happy chimes that fancy RI IS
Across the dreary moors of life;
| fain would see amid my strife
The peaceful visions fancy brings.

BEFORE THE DOOR OF CASTLE GARDEN.
Castle Garden was originally fort and
the chief defense of New York city. The
massive masonry of its first walls still stands,
and the deepport holes, although for many
years no dark browed cannon have frowned
through them, still gaze sinisterly, like great
square eyes, over New York bay. But the
historical interest of the building is not
wholly conferred on its connection with mill
tary matters After it ceased to he occupied
as fort it was turned into place of amuse-
ment and under its roof Jenny Lind's voice
was first heard in America.
The building was utilized as a landing de-
pot for immigrants in 1855, eight years after
the establishment of the emigration commits
sion. In that year 1876, 233 alien foreigners
found throuAh it an entrance to the new
country for which they had deserted their
own. Since the day of its opening as land
ing depot, there has been hardly break in
the stream of human beings flowing from it
to all parts of America According to the
reports of the commissioners of emigration
the total number of foreigners who had
passed before its registry desks previous to
Dec. 81, 1889, was 9, $50 635, or almost a sew
enth as many people as the nation is sup
posed to contain today.
There is not civilized country on the
globe which has not had its representatives
in this vast horde. 3,425, POS were from Ger
many; 2,54l ,l4S from Ireland; l, rs 49, from
England; 81, 1872 from Italy; 224, $50 from
Russia, and so on down. Only 3, 15l China
men have landed at Castle Garden Although
the proposed destinations of all immigrants
have not been recorded, the books tell of 24,-
574 who started for Illinois; 4G,Gl2 for Penn
sylvania; r., l01 for Michigan 10,667 for
Minnesota; l,6i9 for Massachusetts; 5,O29
for Nebraska The smallest number with
which any state is credited is North Carolina,
80, and the largest, New York, 969O1. Three
hundred and thirty of those recorded de-
clared their intention of going to the District
Of Columbia. In 1889 there we're lS5, 4S3
pieces Of baggage landed at Castle Garden,
of which lS2,2l5 pieces were delivered
OF course, place which has marked the
beginning of practically new lives for so
many people is full of romance for any one
who cares to search for it, Tragedy and
comedy each have had their share in the
thousands of dramas of real life which have
been enacted under its old dome. The spar

AT the lower end of Broadway in New

teresting and picturesque place in Battery
park is Castle Garden. A new interest at
taches to the old building just now, for it has
lately been considered not impossible that be-
fore many months have gone it will have
been torn down or permanently closed, at
least as landing depot for immigrants to
the United States, because of a disagreement
between the New York state and federal gov
ernments

ed. The contract upon which the Cushing
was built requires speed of twenty-five knots
per hour. A bonus of 81 800 will be paid the
Herreshof ManufactuI ing company for every
quarter of knot above twenty-three knots
per hour developed, and $4,000 for every
quarter of a knot above twenty-four knots
per hour.
The hull is divided into eleven compart-
ments, separated by water tight ukheads,
the openings being secured against any press
ure by rubber and wedgelike devices of the
most modern invention The compartments
are occupied, beginning at the bow: |, col

Every plate in the hull and all exposed

plainly showed the unpleasant effects of the
experience Many of the faces looked wan
and pinched, and the fact that most of them
were not overclean added to their appear-
ance of distress.
But the throbbing life OF Castle Garden has
its bright side also. When ships which have

or which have battled successfully with them.
come into port, and their passengers pour into
the great building, the scene is gay and en-
livening Storage passengers are transferred
from the steamers, after they have gone up
the bay, to barges and on them "a carried
to Castle Garden.
Before they are allowed in the main part
of the building the immigrants have to pass
in single file before the officials, who register
their names, nationality, age, occupation.
starting point and destination, and also ask
whether they have any money or not In
case they are without funds or means of earn
ing living they are detained at the Garden
for reasonable length of time. If no one
appears to care for them they are eventually
sent back across the sea. Two thousand four
hundred and forty have been prohibited
from proceeding on their journey for this and
other causes, and $500 have been returned at
charity rates, while l,GlS passages have
been paid wholly or in part since the act of
Aug. 3, 1882 became a law.
After the immigrants have been registered
they are allowed to do as they please. Those
who have through railroad tickets with
which to go to the interior of the country are
sorted out by the agents of the different rail
road lines, and are soon started on their way
Others, who decide to stay in New York for
time to look for work or wait for tagging
friends, are left to the not altogether tender
mercies of the boarding house runners
who are admitted to the floor Of the garden
after the registration has been finished. At
this period of the proceedings the spectacle to
an onlooker is an interesting one The queer
costumes, many of them brightly colored,
and the faces, made doubly expressive by the
hopes and fears of their owners, give the
crowd an aspect of almost feverish gayety.
As soon as the first excitement of arrival is
over, those who for any reason find it neces-
sary to remain at the Garden gather in
groups about the kettle topped stoves and dis
cuss the incidents of the voyage or prospects
for the future Sometimes they camp in the
Garden for days before starting out, sitting
by day on their bags and bundles and sleep
ing on the hard benches at night.
Many marriages take place in the Garden
every year between immigrants who have
come over together, or between the lovers
