The Pennsylvania Railroads Popular Ex.
curiions TO the Sershore.

No other summer outing appeals SO
strongly to the people of western Penn.
sylvania as the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's popular excursions to the
seacoast of New Jersey. For years they

is also the widest field for choice in the

the choicest of the Atlantic coast resorts.
and any one Of them may be visited un-
der these arrangements. The list this
year includes also Rehoboth, Del, and
Ocean City, Md.
The dates of the excursions are July II.
and p, and August II and q. A special
train of Pullman parlor cars aud day
coaches will leave Pittsburg on above
mentioned dates at $50 a. m., arriving at
Altoona l2:l5 p. m, where stop for din
ner will he made, reaching Philadelphia
6:25 p. M. and arriving Atlantic City, via
the Delaware River Bridge route, at $40
p. m, making the run from Pittsburg TO
the seashore via the only allrail route in
eleven hours and forty-6ve minutes.
Passengers may also spend the night in
Philadelphia, and proceed to the shore
by any regular train from Market street
wharf or Broad street station the follow
ing day.

THE RICH MAN.
Ian MAcIAren Presents Him In a Now and
Better Light,

~~A A~&0oASAoA AOeoAbo 11lAu III u NO" ana
Better Light.
In all times the rich man has been
target for the shafts of writer's, and
never more so than in these days of our
own. 1t is somewhat novel, there
fore, and, indeed, refreshing, to discov-
er Ian Maclaren, essentially a man of
the people, champion of the much
berated possessor of wealth. His is q
qualified and discriminating apprecia-
ton, it is true, and the more inter
csting because of these conditions.
1t has been the fashion of literature
to put this man in a pillory, says the
distinguished Scotch author, and to
make play with him, and to leave the
impression that any scribbler who
could string together q few verses, al
though neither he nor his verses had
any claim to character, stood higher
by the truest standards of worth and
was of more value to the community.
This man is also apt to give himself
away by too often insisting on his own
history, and by speaking as with his
own sword and bow, and not by the
good favor of the Almighty, he had
achieved his success. But it is common
sreech which does him most injustice
and quite confuses the situation. For
it is asked: GLOW much is he worth ?"
and then the answer is given in figures
If this were indeed the exact value.
surely his life had been a sad fiasco, and
he himself was Of no account. What he
is worth is another thing from what
he possesses, and if you go into the mat
ter his fortune becomes a mere symbol
TO be transferred from fguresin to quail
ties. Just as ha!s a dozen books
stamped with university arms show
that young scholar has made fair
beginning in culture, or a simple bronze
cross on soldiers breast proves that
he has played the man on the field of
battle, so does honorable success in
business bear witness to character. It
means that fellow man called to his
work in his calling has not been idle
ard careless-finging away his oppor-
tunitics. and denying his duties. It
means that he has not yielded to the
lower impulses of his nature and done
foolirhly, to the weakening of his mind
and body. Itmcans that he has resisted
temptation to tricl1ery, deceit and un.
rrincipled work of all kinds. This ten
CT hundred thousand pounds are in
themselves only dust and vanity. But
consider them as x, and work the
equation out, and they read industry.
rcrse"erance, thrift, intelligence. self
denial, integrity. This gold is but an
other word for brain and conscience,
and proves that one has done the work
laid to his hand with all his might, and
in SO doing has built up his manhood.
