A CHARMING TOUR.
The Personally-Conduoted Syst.

The Personally Conducted System.
AS the last hot days or July warmly assert
themselves, to disappear In the hazy distance
OF the past, short vacation, devoted to recre-
alton and pleasure, will be found most profit
able Americans, since the Inauguration of
personally-conducted tours, have been spoiled
for mapping out their own trips, and SO it is
that the Pennsylvania Railroad, the pioneer
OF personal escort, has arranged ON July 23
for special train OF Pullman parlor cars and
day coaches, leaving Washington, Baltimore
and Potomac station, at 7:10 a. M, and Balti-
more, Union station, at $50 a. m, reaching
Niagara Falls the same evening.
Excursion tickets, good to stop off at Wat
kins and Rochester in either direction within
the ten-day limit of the tickets, and good to
return via Buffalo with stop over at that point,
are to be sold at rate of $1,000 for the round
trip from both these points and at proportion
ately low rates from other stations. On the
going trip stop will be made at Williamsport
for dinner and at Canandaigua for supper
A tourist agent and chaperon will accompany
the party. This liberal arrangement OF train
service and low rates, together with the fay or
able time of year at which the tour is run,
and the picturesque route traversed, will
make it one of the most popular jaunts Of
the season.

CLOSING THE FAIR.
The Home For the Homeless
Realizes a Thousand Dollars.

Foye Hall, in Foye place, has, since
Thursday evening, presented the appear
ance of a veritable Japanese colony. but
in behalf of the American Japanese la
dies, it must be said that their beauty,
kindness and persistency far exceeds that
of the sisters of the warmer cline.
The TRANSPORTATION of Foye Hall into
the colony named is due to the deftness
of the Lady Board of Directors of the
Home OF the Homeless
The occasion of this work was the fete
and bszaar held under the auspices in aid
of the Home. Last night the bazaar
closed. In every particular it proved one
Of the most successful fairs ever held in
this city, which fact is largely due to the
efforts of the young ladies, who worked
nobly and necessarily.
The result of their labors is appreciated
on all hands, and Treasurer Edwards.
with pride, last night told me that 81, 700
had been realized. So persistent were
the young ladies to dispose of the wares
In their respective booths that but few
articles were lett to be auctioned off The
only ones who suffered, it is said, during
the fair were the young gentlemen who
were drawn to the hall by some unseen
power.
Mr.. Thomas Gopsill auctionei off the
few articles remaining unsold. and fair"
prices were realized on everything. The
japanese vases valued at $500, present ed
by Turner g. Bennel, which was voted
for, is still in the hands
of the managers of the
Home. Not sufficient sum of money
was-received in the contest 10 warrant
the presentation of such valuable arti-
Gle to any of tine clubs. The lady mana

ALMOST A TRAGEDY
A Crazed Mothers Effort
to Kill Her Child.
CAUGHT IN THE NICK OF TIME.
Exciting Scene on Pennsylvania
Ferryboat-A Husbands
Affecting Story.
CAUGHT IN THE NICK OF TIME.

A handsome woman in the prime OF
life. well dressed, and accompanied by a
we'll dressed man. gray-haired and
misunderstanding, boarded the ferryboat
Hudson City shortly after eight O'Clock
last night on the New York side.
The woman carried baby in her arms.
and did not speak to her companion.
They took seats in the rear cabin of the
boat, and paid no attention to their
travelling companions. The man seemed
tired, and had quite struggle to
keep from falling asleep. Finally
he dropped into q dcze. When the
woman noticed this she arose quietly and
with glance at him quickly walked out
to the rear end of the boat. She had
peculiar look in her face and her eyes
had vague wandering expression.
CAUGHT IN TIME.
One of the men who sat near the door
followed her out, moved probably by
curiosity. When she reached the rear end
of the boat there was no one there but
young man who stood at the end of the
rail looking carelessly up the river.
He heard the footsteps beside
rustic of a dress, however, he did look
around andwhat he saw unnerved him.
Standing close against the gates was a
woman. Into her upturned face the
dimmed light of the night shone
with ghastly hue, and from her lips
came grim, low mnttering. Her eyes
shone with strange, meaningless Won
der, and she kept her gaze upon the
stars. Quickly she raised her arms
above her mead, and in her arms was a
baby asleep ana motionless. She leaned
backward and then threw forward her
arms. from which flew the baby toward
the river.
Quick as was her motion the young man
threw his arm before her and broke the
force of the fling. The baby did not fly
through the air into the river, but
dropped to the deck at the foot of the
gates.
The man who had followed the woman
from the cabin ran forward and, clutch
ing The baby's long skirts, pulled it in
under the barriers. AT this time the wo
mans companion. who had come
out of his doze, came rushing out to the
rear of the boat and found one man hold
ing his wife, who was quite passive, and
another trying to quiet the crying baby.
THE HUSBAND UNNERvED.
He was unner5ed at the sight, and at
the Information that the woman had
tried to drown the baby.
When the party entered the cabin he
told the men that his wife was
temporarily insane. he also Salu tnat MS
name was Albert Freeman and he was
going to Philadelphia. The baby was
Two months old, ne said, and shortly
after it's birth his eldest son died. In
discreet friends informed his wife
! of ri1e boys death and she became
crazed. He did NOT think, however. that
she was violent. He had been consulting
specialist on nervous diseases in New
YORK yesterday and was returning to
Philadelphia when the affair occurred.
He carried the baby from the boat and
his wife clung to his arm apparently un-
conscious OF how shortly she had missed
killing her little child.

While number of Greenville youths
were walking along the Morris Canal

across copperhead snake. They killed
the dangerous reptile and carried it home
to show the trophy of their powers. 1t

have some fun with the snake, so about
dusk they took it to large lot, fronting
ON Ocean avenue by high board fence.
Tying string to the head of the snake
they poked 1t through hole in the lower
edge of the fence. One of the jokers
then moved the string back and forth in
such way as to give the shake wrig-
Cling, lifelke motion. The ruse was
quite successful. Every few minutes
some person passing along the avenue
would get excited over what appeared to
be very big and venomous serpent.

and many lodged and ran away. The
lads had their fun and the next day the
air in and around that section of Green
vile was thick with flying snake stor-
les.

Many were the "reminiscences told by
Mr.. Matthews of Bouaparte and his &C.

vicinity, and many tourists will miss Mr..
Ma tthews, as he was always ready to ac-

After leaving the employ of Bonaparte
Matthews became driver on the Citi-

only one travelled by David Crockett on
his tour through the Southern States.

means to secure this are the dupli-
eating of the channels through which the
water is conveyed, or having a large sup
ply near the city. He advocated the con-
struction of larger reservoir near the
city, such as would contain a five or six
days supply. 1t was also reported that
the Oak Ridge overflow was almost COM
pleted. and that the water at Macopin is
being tested. The terminal chamber at
