Pennsy lvania Railroad. Post Of this city
went, and our experience WAS the same. My
wife and l remained day after the Eneamp-
ment, and found no improvement on the re-
turn. The transportation to aud from the
Falls for the four days was n disgrace to any
large city. The railroad people evidently "lost
their heads" Yes, we paid for everything we
got, and more often than it was worth. Take
the excursions to the Falls and surrounding

CONEY ISLAND CLOSED.
Bad Weather and the Bicycle Killed
Business and the Resorts
Made No Money.

New York, Sept. e.-Rain and the bicy-
Gle brought disaster to Coney Island. The
season of 1897, which closed yesterday,
was the worst financially for twenty
years. The hotel and storekeepers say
that they made no money, the merry-go-
rounds lost heavily and the Bowery is on
its uppers. 1t is said that the Ferris
wheel is the only institution that kept
turning over the capital invested.
Fine weather prevailed for few weeks
at the opening of the season, and then set
in a period of rain that lasted eighteen
days. An occasional spell of clear weather
brought out few visitors, but the rain
seemed to have dampened the ardor of
those who were wont to find joy on the
island.
According to the business men, the BIZ
cycle is a detriment to their interest. The
riders spend little or no money.
Less than 10000 persons were on hand
for the closing festivities, and the ma
jority of them went home before clock.

SLAVES GIRLS TAUGHT.
The Work of Scotia Seminary in
North Carolina.

Cincinnati, Sept 9.-The Rev. D. J.
Satterfeld, D. d. president of Scotia
Seminary, North Carolina, has been in
the city several days visiting. the Rev.
DIR. and Mrs. Francis.
He reports the year which has passed
as, in some respects, the most import
ant in the history of this important
school for the instruction of the de-
scendants of the slaves. He says, how
ever, that the numbers have somewhat
diminished on account of the hard
times and the consequent reduction in
the financial support needed to sustain
all who desired to utilize the advant-
ages which the seminary furnishes.
With collateral call loans at 21s per cent
one would suppose there was money
enough in the country to furnish Schol-
arships that would fill to Overfiowing
an institution doing such a magnificent
work for the country.

NO HELP FROM SHERMAN.
The Secretary of State Has Not
Promised to Help Out
Mark Hanna.

Washington, Sept. 9.-Despite the
positive statements in the press during
the past few days that Secretary Sher-
man is going to Ohio on the 18th of this
month to take part in the Ohio cam
paign and make one or more speeches
for Hanna, the Journal has the word
of the secretary himself that no such
programme has been agreed upon.
when do you expect to go to Ohio,
Mr.. Secretary?" he was asked.
Il do not know yet that will go at
all' he replied. Certainly not until
the president returns"
But it is understood and officially
reported that you are going into the
state and make a political speech at a
day in the near future.
Yes replied Secretary Sherman. "It
has been so stated, but 1 am not sure
that 1 will make any speeches. Never
but once has a secretary of state gone
into a campaign and made political
speeches, and when the almost invaria-
BILE custom was broken that cabinet Of
ficer was subjected to great deal of
criticism. There is something about
the office that precludes its occupant
from taking part in a political cam
paign."

BROWNING AS LOVER.
The Professional Woman's League
Discusses the Tender Passion

New York, Sept 9.-The Professional
Woman's league devoted Labor day to
the consideration of Robert Browning a
a lover. With Miss Emma c. West as
interpreter, they dallied with the poets
views of the tender passion through the
hot afternoon.
Most people, said Miss West don't
know love, although in the course of
large and varied experience. they think
they have often met it. They sigh their
signs to it; they vow their vows to it;
they even die for it, and they never real
ize it's right in front of them.''
1t was then Miss West went on to prove
that Browning was the great exception.
His love was vital He absolutely be-
lieved that a man could reach through
the ages the object of his love. His was
a magnificent transcendentalism, and his
life with his wife was ideal"
But" murmured a Lacquer, plainly
not among Elizabeth Barrett Browning
admirers, 'who is it says that Every
great man is like a big ship with little
tug of a wife?'
''I know a Wall street man. continued
Miss West, who reads Browning for 20
minutes every morning before a hard day.

Pacific express train No. II, from San
Francisco to Los Angeles, was held up
at switch near Morrano, at o'clock
last evening. Elaborate preparations
had been made by the train robbers,
who piled ten ties across the track and
had set them on fire.
AS the train slowed up the robbers,
who were standing beside a fence near
the track, fired five shots at the train
men. A tramp riding on top of the
baggage car was shot in the hip, being
the only person wounded. Two deputy
sheriffs who happened to be on the
train tried to return the fire, but the
robbers, becoming frightened, ran across
the fields in the direction of the San
Joaquin river, without making any
further attempt to loot the train. The
deputies left the train at Ripon and
are organizing a posse to pursue the
robbers.
