Trenton.
Through the kindness of one of Tren-
toms successful and highly esteemed
physicians. DR.. Laura q. Satterthwaite,
we Carrie and y were permitted to en-
joy a four hours drive in and around our
Capital City.
From Y. M. G. A. Hall on East State
street we sOon reached Greenwood
avenue, with its unbroken line of hand
some residences and magnificent trees
and lawns, which reminds one very
forcibly of Euclid avenue, Cleveland.
considered the handsomest street of any
American city. Chestnut avenue also
elicited expressions of admiratio on. Many
places and institutions of interest were
passed during the afternoon. The
Children's Industrial Home, Church of
the Sacred Heart, (Catholic) a massive
structure, built in 1888, and one of
Trenton's two open squares, in the poorer
section of the city, which looked very in
viting as we passed. with the mercury
ranging in the seventies.
1t was new to US to see an Italian
Church, and not far ~away-about a
stones throw-a Hungarian house of
worship. 1t was pleasant to see these,
and to realize that these people have
church homes of their own, plain and
simple in construction though they be.
From here We pass over the Delaware
and Raritan canal (every street seems to
pass that way and are soon put on the
Riverview drive, in which we were disap-
pointed. Because anybody who has
wanted to do so has built their foundry
or 6reoery, or whatnot, directly IN the
rivers edge at this historical section of
our majestic Delaware, and the drive, in
stead of passing constantly in vieD of the
river, runs around back of these proper
ties. So that Trenton with her four or
more miles of river frontage has not the
attractive feature in her river view drive
that she ought to have. Reaching a high
elevation in Riverview cemetery, how
ever, we are amply repaid for taking
this oircuitous route, for the view down
the river, taking in both the jersey and
Pennsylvania shores is beyond our power
of description. We cap only say to a
certainty, it was very, very beautiful.
The rich c%olorings of autumnal foliage
browning the sheen of the water and the
river banks healthful verdure with a
beauty that will dwell pleasantly in
memory for years to come.
In this city of the dead (Riverview
Cemetery are many imposing tombs and
monuments reared to the memory of the
departed, the McClellen monument
having been placed in suoh a position as
to command the attention of the visitor
from many sections of Trenton's vicinity /.
Off to the left of this monument, as we
drove along, rest the tombs of Generals
Mott and Mcclellan.
Back into the city again in one of its
fine resident streets we pass a historic
spot of Revolutionary days in the form of
a fine old residence now occupied by
Edwin q. Stokes, in which it is claimed
many Revolutionary heroes were enter.

alike.
We come out finally at the side of New
jerseys State House, our thoughtful
hostess having driven off the thorough
fare to enable us to take in the side view

AS we drive up and out onto the main
street again we are enabled to see the
magnificent beauty of the front view of
| the structure, it's broad aud polished
hallway running the entire length of the
building, the Governors private office
I looking out upon such a smoothly shaven,
flower bedecked lawn that one might
dream that the great ship of state would
| be guided into harbors for the sweetest
! home influences only, and never, never
into the whirlpools that lead her citizens
| into the black abysses of woe and de-
sp,ir. But here on the very face of the
| landscape is the legalized saloon, and
| there beside it is the States prison, where
the victims of the saloon, made mad by
| it's fruits. may be incarcerated for the
crimes that have grown directly out of
| the influences that are legalized by the
State. All, Heaven, it is a thought
whose truth cannot be gsinsayed, yet the
fault, the sin of it all, can not be laid at
| the door oflthe Governor, but directly at
| the feet of the sovereign voter !! There,
| Mere-all the honor (?) lies.
While our mind has tarried beyond it's
| allotted time. possibly, beside the por
tails of our proud capital building. we
have been rapidly driven out beyond the
| oi.y's limits, where there are being
huiIded many fine suburban residences,
whose ho~useholders escape the heavy
city taxes (and possibly some of her con
veniences) and here we are at the impos-
ing entrance of Cadwallader Park. This
park is one of the prides of Trenton, and
Justly so. The drive here at the right
within it's borders) with its magnificent
old trees and picturesque scenery migth
we'll be the pride of any city. We wind
our way around and up past a high knoll
whereon has been placed a fine, marble
statue representing Washington crossing
