WASHINGTON, WESTMINSTER
AND GETTYSBURG RAIL
WAY
Map Showing the Proposed Route
Of the Road-Some Notes on the
Advantages Of the Road.

We publish with this article map show
ing the proposed route for railway from
Washington city to Gettysburg-from the
National Capital to the greatest National
Cemetery. This line has long been talked
of. but it looks now as if it was an assured
fact.
Two months ago few gentlemen of
Westminster and Washington city met and
agreed upon the principal features of the
enterprise. Mr.. Stilson Hutchins who is
the practical owner of the Washington and
Great Falls Electric line, was consulted
and agreed to enter into satisfactory rela-
tions with the new project, and the neces-
sary steps for incorporation under the laws
of Maryland were Immediately taken.
The name of the road was established
as the Washington, Westminster and Get
tysburg Railway, and the incorporators
applying for the charter were Messrs. Geo.
Cotton Smith, of Wikesbare, Pa; I.
Herbert Shriver, of Union Mills, Md. ;
William B. Thomas, j. II. Cunningham,
David Cowan, Jr., j. L. Reifsnider, Mil
ton Schaefer, Z. j. Lawyer, c. I. Ref
snider, of Westminster, Md; George 5.
Knap, John A. Shorb, Of Littlestown,
Pa. and j. B. Colegrove, Stilson Hutch
ins, and H. A. Cady, of Washington, DC.
Some weeks ago the incorporators IN
structed two civil engineers, +. Fl. Stier,
of Washington, and P. c. Kennedy, of
Westminster, to look for practicable and
feasible route, and full and comprehen-
sive report on the several routes examined
by these gentlemen has been received by
the incorporators.
The map accompanying this article will
convey quite clearly an idea of the route
deemed most practicable. The Great Falls
road, now in operation to Cabin John
Bridge, furnishes most desirable entrance
to Washington city at the splendid new
union depot at Thirty sixth street. Pas
sengers will have the advantage of the
roads unparalleled scenic attraction along
the Potomac as far as Cabin John Greek,
where the proposed route heads directly
north to Rockville, distance of fifteen
miles from Washington city, and eight
from Cabin John. From Rockville the
road passes through the heart and richest
portion of Montgomery, Howard and Car
roll counties, leaving Maryland at or near

Littlestown, Pa, and thence on, ten miles,
to Gettysburg
This is conceded to be the most beauti-
full, most thrifty and attractive farming
section of the State. Its trade is eagerly
sought by the merchants of Baltimore and
Philadelphia as the most desirable that
comes to them; and, indeed, in its constant
succession of beautiful homes, It's thorough
ly modern methods, and its numerous de-
lightful villages, it presents indisputable
evidence of an active, prosperous and
wide-awake population. The value to
Washington of an extension of its railways
into such country cannot be overesti-
mated.
The attractions of Gettysburg it would
be almost useless to attempt to describe.
Over 300, 600 visitors are conveyed to it
yearly-and doubtless with so short line
as this the number would be doubled.
More than S4, 900, 900 have been expend-
ed on the monuments alone and every year
adds to the list
The projectors of the new enterprise
claim that for every mile of Its distance it
will prove remunerative from the begin
ming, from local travel alone The Great
Falls electric road is cited as an example,
it having paid fair profit over running
expenses every month from the first day
its ears were put in motion.
Up to the present time it has not been
attempted to enlist any outside capital
The incorporators have signifed their will
lingness to subscribe one-half of the capital
stock, and it is believed that the people
along the line will willingly take the rest
Within the next thirty days the organ
ization will be completed, all the stock
subscribed, and the officers selected.
Then active work will commence with
the procuring of the right of way.
The value of this proposed road to
Westminster is almost beyond calculation.
Means of communication between this city
and the southern part of Carroll county,
| particularly, has been crying want. II
will be of great advantage to this city also
to have railway communication north to
Silver RIM and above. The opening of
another market, and such market as
Washington city, with its quarter of a
million people, would prove boon. As
the proposition is for freight as well as
passenger line, it can be easily seen how
much value it will prove to the community
through which it passes. The direct con-
nection of this city with the National Cap
ital-and this road will make the distance
about fifty miles-will lead to many ad-
vantages for Westminster, and even in the
one item of quick intercourse between the
widely separated ends of this city the value
of it can be seen.

To produce sleep drink a half pint of hot
water or hot milk. This is a remedy sim
pie enough, but is is nearly always success
full.
For those who do not like the flavor of
milk the additions of little sugar and a
wineglass of brandy will render the un-
tritious draught palatable.
Raw oysters are recommended for all
cases of impaired digestion. They are

In order to prevent a mustard plaster

dark-green or dark-blue curtains or shades

Our Enormous Mustard Crop
From Washington Star.

''This country is now growing larger
part of the mustard put up in England as
well as in this country, = said a CONNER
cial man, ''and California is raising the
larger part of it, The mustard seed has
Just been harvested in California and prob
ably will run up to 16, 600, 600 pounds, or
| 900, 900 pounds more than the crop of
1895. The seed is kept six months be-
fore being ground The brown seed has
the best flavor and greatest pungency.
while the yellow produces the most oil .
The English mustard packers have made
the yellow the most fashionable, however,
and as a result there are ten pounds of
yellow produced for every pound of the
brown, though the brown is stronger and
better in every respect. Probably one
half of the English mustard that is used
in this country grew in California, though
it was ground and packed in England.
French mustard is the same as other mus
tard, the seed being soaked in vinegar,
properly spiced, for twenty-four hours
before it is ground. .

EHREE STOP OVER AT WASH

On all through tickets between the east,
west, north and south, reading via Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad, a stop-over at Washington
can be secured, without extra charge for rail-
road fare, by depositing the ticket, upon ar
rival at Washington, with the B. & 0. station
ticket agent that point. Washington is al
ways attractive to visitors, and particularly so
while Congress is in session. This arrange
ment for stop-over privilege will doubtless be
appreciated by the public, and will bring to
the National Capital many travellers to view

fashions change in bewildering way, and
most expensive way to us manufacturers,
but they have way of changing so radi-
cally that new goods may be wholly un-
salable if they bear any resemblance to the
dress goods in demand last year Why ?
Simply because a woman who buys new
dress wants pattern and a color wholly
differently from that of her last year
frock, in order that there may be no ques-
ton as to its being new frock. She not
only wants different design, but very
different one, so that he, or, more proba-

In talking over the minute factors that
have meant profit or loss to manufacturers,
some curious details were given me by ex-
perts. For instance, one clock manufac-
turer Of Waterbury, Conn, found that
certain rival was doing large trade in
cheap clocks sent ont to the wilds of Afri-
ca. He got hold of a sample clock, and
finding that there was a heavy profit in
the enterprise, invested large sum of
money in making a still better clock, thous-
ands Of which were shipped to the same
market. Strange to say, sales were slow,
while his rival, turning out cheaper and
far less accurate time piece, was selling all
he could make Finally the explanation
came. Savages like noise. The clocks
made by the original exporter had a par
ticularly loud and aggressive tick; his imi-
tator made better clock, but it was al
most noiseless, and the sayages would have
none of it. The remedy was simple. The
next shipment Of clocks to the Guinea
coast ticked louder than anything previous
" heard there, and all went well

Opinions differ as to whether or not the
growth of the factory system is blessing
to community, but, as rule, it is con-
ceded that the standard of intelligence and
of living among the mill-hands of New
England is not so high now as it was forty
years ago. And this, notwithstanding
higher wages and shorter hours. In 1850,
the average mill hand earned S175 year,
as against $500 at present, and worked
thirteen hours a day as against ten hours
today. The American farmer daughter
who worked in the cotton mills fifty years
ago has been almost wholly displaced, first
by women of Irish and English birth, and
more recently by the French Canadian,
all representing lower types. The very
growth of the mills has tended to do away
with certain features of factory life, that
worked for good in smaller communities.
