Bull Run and Appemattox.

The public sale OF the Mclean estate
advertised for December 2, brings to
our mind the most singular coincidence
we recall in our reading Of history.
The first meeting of the army Of the
Potomac and the Army OF Northern
Virginia took place at Blackburn's
Ford, July is, 1861. and brought on the
first pitched battle OF the war. At 10
a. M, Beauregard took up his headquar-
tiers at the Mclean house and there
Mcdowell attacked him with heavy
force OF infantry and artillery. On the
9th OF April, 1865, after 1865 days OF al
most constant fighting, the command
ers OF these two armies, Grant and Lee.
met at the Mclean house at ApDomat-
tox and drew up the terms of surrender
When Beauregard evacuated Manas-
sas, Maj. Mclean removed his family
TO Fauquier AS the tide OF war rolled
again around them they removed the
second time to Lunenburg, and there.
In 1853, the Major returned one day and
told them he would move them this
time where the sourd OF battle would
never reach them more. They rented
the brick house at Appomattox, which
was becoming historic, and toward
which all the strategy of the war con-
verged, and around which so suddenly
eliminated And so II happened as

Maj. Mclean frequently said, that the
war began on him and ended on him.
Another point is worthy of mention
in this connection. The Mclean estate
embraced in 1851 over !, 400 acres, in
Guiding some of the best land of this
country. Over one-half OF this has
been sold out to eight different per-
sons at So to SIS per acre. The largest
part is now embraced in the magnifl-
cent farm Of Robert Portner. The re-
mainder Of the tract is now subdivided
and will be sold at December court.
The change from large plantations to
small farms is thus illust rated, show
ing an inevitable tendency of our civil
ization.

HENRY CLEws, the big banker, turns
aside from the consideration Of
bonds and stocks, gold and silver, to
predict that there will soon be de-
cided slump in the price of bicycles.
He says that the American people have
invested $500, 600, 900 in them in the last
four years. and that competition will
make it impossible for manufacturers
TO continue selling at 500 an article
that costs only about s27. It is esti-
mated that the output of wheels will
next season reach 100000, and this GER
tainly ought to cause reduction of the
present extravagant price.

FEAT OF A BLOOMER GIRL.
Miss Annie Londonderry's Tour Of
the World.


Boston, Mass. Sept. 25.-Miss
Annie Londonderry arrived in this
city yesterday morning after a trip
around the world on a bicycle.
Miss Londonderry is nursing a
broken arm, the result of bad
fall sustained in one Of the West
ern towns.
On June %, 1894, Miss London
derry started on her trip around
the world. She was given a COED
gend-of by several hundred friends,
who were at the State House when
the start was made. Her trip, she
says, was made upon a wager. She
was to receive $4,000 if she fin
ished the journey in fifteen months,
and she feels proud of the record
she has made. On Thursday,
September 18th, the journey came
to an end in Chicago, fourteen
days ahead of the time allowed.
In addition to the purse of $1O,-
600, which she says was handed
over to her by the parties making
the wager, Miss Londonderry also
accumulated $4,000 from lectures
given In several countries and also
by participating in exhibitions of
bicycle riding.
Her experience in riding a bicy-
Gle was very limited, having taken
her first lesson on the day she was
to begin her long journey. She
soon mastered the wheel, however,
and after a few days riding had
very little trouble in getting over
the roads. During all of her long
trip Miss Londonderry says she
met with a royal reception, particu-
larly in Paris, where she was given
a grand reception and also made
considerable money by lecturing.

point of commercial honor the adver-
tiser is as important to the reader as
the reader is to the advertiser. The
latter spends hundreds of millions of
dollars annually 10 tell the reader
the wide awake reader-just what he
wants to know-what he should know.
1t is very kind of him to do this-gen-
erous, philanthropic. He is a public
benefactor. We say it seriously. 1t
Is through him that the reader keeps
IN touch with progress, with the trend
of prices, with inventions and i'm
provements, and these mean some
thing to the man who would spend
his money wisely-mean something
to the woman who would not be de-
ceived in what she buys, and swim
died in the price she pays.-Ex.

1T IS A QUESTION OF STATE.
Mr.. REYNOLDS Calls for Exhibition Of
Common Sense.

It would appear that the clear
and plainly expressed opinion Of
your contributor a few days ago
has raised a storm of comment
simply because he, a decided roy
alist, should venture to criticise but
20 endorse over his own signature
the action of the Board of Health,
but at the same time presume to
question the action of the presi-
dent of that Board. Strange to say
ne, the president, does lot look on
me as an enemy, but like man
accepts my criticism.
Now, about the carpers who cry
down the action OF the Board in
falling in with my idea as to the
strengthening Of Nuuanu stream
from King street bridge to the wall
opposite Pauoa stream near Nc
Gregor's place. My advocacy of
this plan came from no considera-
tions of property at stake in indi-
yidual instances, but simply as a
question of State, which I claim to
be paramount to all other interests.
Axes to grind, with me don't
count
There are at least twenty men
III
the Government has seen fit to pro-
pose and not one protests against
the dirty Job, therefore why all this
opposition TO the Government plans
being carried out?
Let reasonable men look at rea-
sonable things in a reasonable
light. The question Is one of tax
payers, and l pay a good deal more
year in and year out than those
who for the sake of newspaper
notoriety raise captious objection
Tor what is for the good of the
State.
Some have raised the serious
question that the railroad wharf
has been a menace to the general
course of the stream and has thus
raised all our present troubles
Well, admitted the fact, did it ever
occur to these questionists that the
Hawaiian Government of that day
deliberately consented to the fact,
and that by consent of the Legisla-
ture.
Some raise the question that this
is an old plan now being acted
upon. Well, bless me, can't the
devil once in a while set a good
example?
The franchise or lease to the
railroad does not now figure in the
question, because terms once made |
must be abided by, and the only |
question now to be considered is |
the one recommended by the |
Board of Health to the Govern
ment.
A good deal of fear for their own,
or somebody else's health, seems to |
cut a figure just now, for fear some |
one should start up the cholera
scare again because of the mud dug |
up and deposited on Leleo flats. |
The best answer to that is for the |
to pass those same
flats under present circumstances
at any half-moon or full-moon |
tide / don't know, but think |
they would hail anything that
would be an attempt at an i'm
More could be said, but l think |
I have covered all the points
raised. w. (. REYNOLDS.

No Sorgum in This Taffy.

Baltimore Sun
The managers of On9 of the Balti-
more theatres have had printed on
their programmes a request that
their lady patrons will remove their
hats during the performance. They
are careful to say that this is not
rule of the house, but an humble and
respectful appeal to the gracious
condescenion of the ruling sex.
They add: present styles of wear
ing the hair permit it truthfully to
be said that ladies so attired that
is, unbonneted) lend most grace
full, becoming and picturesque charm
TO any mixed assembly" If the
ladies only realized how much pref
tier, sweeter and altogether more
fetching they looked in the theatre
without their hats than with them,
they would never wear any headgear
in place of amusement. The only
trouble then would be that many of
the male spectators would prefer to
look at the ladies to looking at the
stage, and this might create jealousy
among the actors and actresses
But regard for their own appearance
should be superior to all other con
Slu6FdUlOuS, dul Ullc lddicS Shouiti to-
move their hats even at the risk of
distracting attention from the play.
There is another thing to be remem-
bered in this connection, and that is
that the big theatre hat seriously
| diminshes a girls chances of getting
married, often leads to dreadful do
nestle tragedies. The man whose
view of the stage is obscured by a
preposterously large hat leaves the
| theatre in bad humor with the
whole female sex. 1t is unreason-
able, of course, that he should visit
the sins of one woman upon another,
but he does it. If he is an engaged
man, or a man who is thinking OF
becoming engaged, this exhibition OF
feminine selfshness creates doubts in
his embittered mind as to the wis
dom of matrimony; and if he is a
married man, he is apt to go home
and say something disagreeable
about women, which his wife feels
herself bound to repel in defense OF
her sex, and then there is a scene
behind the scenes. On the whole, the
ladies could not do wiser thing
than to take off their hats at the
theatre. 1t would make them look
prettier, and it would double their
chances of getting and keeping hus
bands. High theatre hats are not
.catchers or beau keepers. Re
member that, girls.

ELECTRICITY.

Asrapid as have been the advances
in recent years in the matter of
utilizing the wonderful power of
electricity, many entertain the idea
that electricity is yet in it's infancy
and that still more startling develop
ments will be made manifest in the
near future. just now initiative
steps are being taken to supplant
steam by electricity for railroads
and it is not improbable that before
long electricity will be in general use
for this purpose. Discussing this
subject, the Baltimore Sun says:
eight years ago it was an import
ant question whether the electric car
would supersede horse cars on the
street railways. At that time, 1887,
there were already thirteen electric
roads in the United States, operating
about hundred cars. Since that
year over four hundred million dol
lars have been invested in electric
roads in the United States, and there
are now in this country not less than
eight hundred and fifty electric rail-
ways, aggregating nine thousand
miles of track and operating twenty
three thousand cars, and the work of
construction is going on with I'M
abated activity. 1t would he hard
to find in industrial history a paral-
lei with this rapid growth following
upon aninvention. The main streets
of nearly all American cities are
occupied by trolley roads, every
suburb is brought within easy reach
of the centres. Small towns which
could not support horse railways are
now supplied with trolley lines, and
they are reaching far out into rural
districts and occupying country
roads in thickly settled communities.
They are forming connections rapid
ly, and the roads pushing out from
one city are meeting those from
neigbboring cities, and forming long
and important lines of travel. Con-
necticut is almost gridironed with
trolley lines. New York and Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington
will sooner or later be connected.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is equip
ping one of it's branch lines in New
Jersey with electric cars, and the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Road is making the change on some
of it's branches. The great question
of eight years ago, "Will the electric
motor supersede the horse on street
roads 2" has been answered. Now
the question is, Will the electric
motor displace the steam locomo.
tive"
