ceased TO sell tickets west Of the Port

Though there is no tie up here IN the
east. travel has been reduced to a mini
mum and lethargic condition prevails.
There are thousands OF people here in
New York from the west, all ANXIOUS to
get home, but restrained from the at
tempt by knowing full well that it is i'm
possible TO reach their destination under
conditions at present prevailing.
On my way east from Chicago on the

was attempted by the men. The boys,

of thegreatest disturbance.

Of the 4. r. [. TO show its strength re-
gardless of the terrible resultant cOndi-
tons of mob rule paralysis of business
and the destruction OF life and property.
The effect upon labor organizations. so
far as public sentiment is concerned. will
be much TO their disadvantage. The at
tltude Of the railway engineers is gener-
ally commended.
The sea shore resorts are by no means
crowded this year. Coney Island has
degenerated into county fair, Manbat-
tan Beach keeps up semblance of re
speciality but needs patronage. Long
Branch is doing a thriving gambling
business. It's patrons now are almost
exclusively Jews. They have taken CON-
plete possession Of the place. Elbveon is
more noted for It's cottages than for It's
hotels, It is a resort for the wealthy
people who have their summer homes
there. Albany Park is comparatively
new. 1t was a favorite meeting place for
religious conventions before it donned
the habIlIments Of a resort" Tn defer

and Easements are avenues which lead to
where fiery liquids may be obtained. |
Outwardly, its moral forces are agrees
I've. But it is a sham. Ocean Grove is
still more intent upon Eewing straight
to the line, to the eye of the casual OBJ
server, at least. The streets are chained
up on Sunday, SO IS TO prevent driving
upon them.
The whole New Jersey coast is dotted
with sea side resorts. Dot" is hardly
pertinent to the condition, as the line of
resorts Is continuous. Contrary to my
precOnceived notions. the country is
beautiful, and one is not limited in his
enjOyments to contemplation of the
grandeur OF the ocean. The beach is not
a good one for bathing as it shelves too
abruptly and the tide, in consequence, |
has but little lateral expansion. The

In these turbulent waters a poor SWIM

shore unaided.
Eighteen years ago passed over the
Lehigh Valley road for the first time
The trip was made dnring the night and
| then lost a view of the fine scenery.
This road runs through as picturesque a
section Of country as can be found in the
United States. From Seneca Lake until
the Level lands of New Jersey are reached. !
the journey is perpetual delight. The
road runs along the western bluffs of
Seneca Lake and from this view the OPP
poslte slope looks like glimpse of para
disc. 1t Is softened by It's distance and
bathed In the languorous haze so con
duclve TO that feeling of INDECENT content
which must be akin to the sleep of the
gods. One gets variety in the mountains
while following the course Of the LehigS
Valley. The hills are monuments of yer-
dure reared, apparently, to enhance the
beauty of the valleys they enclose. No
city in the world can have finer settling
than Mauch Chunk. 1t is a verltable
dream land.
This wretched strike has paralyzed
all desire for further travel and am anx-
iOCs TO get home but cannot. 1t IS not

Possibly q solution OF the difficulty, so
