Many From This City Take Advantage OF
the Picturesque Route to the Fair.

Many From This City Take Advantage of
the Picturesque Route to the Fair.
Nearly every day parties from this Sec
tion start for the Worlds Fair after having
selected the beautiful Baltimore Il Ohio
route. Today A. p. Wood, the ium Der
dealer, with his family, started by this
road, and Druggist Wood and wife are
now on their way via the same line. Last
evening Charles +. Sexton returned from
the Fair, being one Of a party who en-
joyed the scenery Of this route. Several
other parties are now being made up.
The grandeur and beauty OF the scenery
along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad Is world-renowned, and has
gained for this route the sobriquet Of
picturesque b. and o." In no distance
OF equal length on the continent is there
such variety Of views OF mountain, valley
and stream, and nowhere are the sur
roundings invested with greater historic
interest. One has but to repeat the names
OF Potomac, Shenandoah, Harper's Ferry,
to have come trooping upon the memory
a legion of events and incidents that
crowd the pages Of the later history OF
the republic.
Much Of the region trsversed by the
Baltimore and Ohio was, during the civil
war, the debatable land oyer which the
the cont ending hosts marched and fought,
alternately pursuers and pursued. At
Harper's Ferry the old brick fort which
John Brown bsde defiance to Virginia's
pride and power, stood in full view from
the car windows until 1t was removed a
short time since to the Worlds Fair at
Chicago. 1t is at this point the historic
river, disdaining impediment,h has literally
cleft its way through the Blue Ridge
Mountains, whose rock-ribbed walls rise
sheer for thousand feet from the waters
edge. This is but one picture. The entire
line, from Washington to the Ohio river,
Is living gallery Of views that prove a
source OF present delight to the traveller,
and become a cherished recollection In
after years.

Annie Eva FAY.

Miss Annie Eva Fay, the wcll-known
medium, will appear at Lothrop's Grand
Opera House Sunday night in her lecture
on Spirituaism. She is in many respects
remarkable woman. The peculiar gifts
she possesses have made her admitted TO
familiarity with great scientists and made
her sought OF by the thoughtful and
curious. She claims TO have raised the
subject to scientific plane, and scurnin,
the conventional and transparent methods
OF others, she courts an intelligent con-
sideration OF her manifestations. In her
seance naturalization OF spirit forms,
hands and faces take place, music will bc
made, and tables will float in mid-air.
Flowers will be materialized and many
other strange and wonderful things will
occur entirely, and as Miss Fay does all
this in the fullest possible gas light, 1t
will be a welcome change from the usual
dark room.

HIS THIRD ATTEMPT.
George kuton Is Sorry Because He was
Snaiched From Deaths Jaws.


BosToN, Sept 2l.-Three attempts to
end his life in less than thr weeks is the
record of George w. Aulton, who was
pulled out of the water of the Charles
river at the West Boston bridge last night
by Eugene Mccarthy aud James II.
Mason, an employe Of the Boston branch
of the American Press association.
The two last-named were crossing the
bridge at O'Clock last night, when they
saw a man leap into the water. Jumping
over the rail Of the bridge to the float
alongside, the men went To tire rescue Of
the would.be suicide. The man in the
water, in an effort to prevent being pulled
out, put his hands up under the float and
pressed himself down under the water.
His efforts were of no avail against those
Of Mccarthy and Mason, however, and
he was landed upon the float.
His hat was found in a boat near by,
where he had placed il before Jumping
oveboard, and contained n slip OF paper
bearing these words: Out of work, out
of money, out Of friends, out of sympathy
with the world" and signed, George w.
Aulton."
Aulton was taken to station B, where he
was attended by DR.. Cilley, who pro-
nounced Ault n mentally unsound
Aulton is 81 years Of age. Both OF his
previous attempts at suicide were made in
a hotel at 70 Green street, on Sept. I,
where he tried to suffocate himself by
turning on the gas in his room. These at
tempts were both almost successful.
When booked at the station he told
Lieutenant Kendall that he was dsheart-
ened and discouraged and not at all CRATE
full to his rescuers for saving his life

EN- Der DAYS.
Three Autumn Days or Prayer and Fasting
for the Faithful.

Three Autumn Days or Prayer and Fasting
for the Faithful.
Three days OF this week, Wednesday,
Friday and Saturday, are known in the
Catholic Church calendar as the Ember
| days OF Autumn. They are days
OF fasting and Thanksgiving for the
faithful. The origin OF Ember days,
which are observed at or near the Begin
ming OF each OF the four seasons, is lost In
antiquity, but 1t Is known that in the
very early ages OF the Church, christians
were in the habit Of setting apart certain
days in the year for fasting, prayer and
mobilization. The good works of these
days were offered to God az penances for
the sins OF the people-as partial repara-
tion for the insult and injury done to the
goodness OF Almighty God and the majes-
ty of His law by those who disregarded
His teachings and violated His command
ments. And so, century after century,
the followers OF Christ have continued he
pious practice OF observing Ember days.
As each succeeding season rolls around In
the cycle OF time the faithful thank the
Divine Author OF all Good for the count
less blessings showered upon the world.
They offer II i'm their gratit ude for what
ever measure OF happiness has been theirs;
and yield to Him as sacrifices for their
transgressions whatever i'll fortune or
distress has come to them. BY fasting
and supplication and by meditation on
the divine mysteries of religion and the
be nefactions OF an all wise and merciful
God they atone in some degree for past
| offenses and crave the priceless boon Of
forgiveness and salvation, through the
merits Of Jesus Christ, the purity OF the
Blessed Virgin, and the sanctitv Of st. Jo-
seph.
