Especial Cumberland (Md) Letter.l
The national capital is surrounded
with summer resorts, many of them by
the seashore and many others in the
mountains.
There is no more beautiful, attractive,
healthful and entertaining resort along
the Blue ridge than this historic place.
For many years, N fact until the close
of the revolutionary war. this was the
outpost of civilization. Fort Cumber-
land was named after the duke of Cum
berland, who was the commander-in-
chief of the military forces OF Great
Britain. Upon the site of Fort Cum
berland to-day there stands an Episco-
pal church which is a model of ecclesi-
astical architecture.
1t was from this point that Gen. Brad
dock marched forth with his splendid
army to meet defeat and death Eear
Connellsyille, Pa, and back to this
point Col. George Washington success
fully conducted the surviving members
Of that unfortunate expedition. Upon
the advance and upon the retreat they
marched through the "Narrows," a
rugged mountain defile and gap, both
sides of which indicate that by some
convulsion of nature the backbone of
the mountain range was broken. and
that through the gorge there must have
rushed some mighty torrent full thou
sand feet in depth, because the rugged
assures of the rocky walls until this
day manifest evidences Of the work Of
the water.
He is fortunate who can have oppor-
tunity to visit this historic place, en-
joy the scenery, and remain for rest,
recreation ard healthful recuperation.

southern Utah, where he is said to have
had great influence both with the Nor
mons and Indians.
Accordingly Lee was secretly warned
of the action the church had deter
mined to take and hidden to fiee into
hiding. When the United States sol
diers visited his home near Beaver he
had fed. His last wife (No. 1s) states
that he told her that three others Of
the perpetrators in the massacre ac-
companied him. Not having had suf-
ficient time to procure food they were
forced to subsist upon what game they
could kill and the roots and berries
they could find. They journeyed down
one Of the side canyons which flow
from the north into the Grand canyon.
Here they accidentally stumbled upon
valuable gold mine, several nuggets
from which he subsequently brought
home and disposed of for large sums
Of money, one fetching $40. another
$50. The soldiers kept hot on their
track and Lee and his companions had
several narrow escapes. At one time
he barely got away from the soldiers

him with just rs the soldiers arrived.
When Lee and his companions were
~.fisfied that they were no longer the
objects Of pursuit they started back to
their newly-discovered mine. When
they neared the spot they were In Z

The late Empress Elizabeth of Aus
tria did many things which appeal to
the unconventionality of American
women more than they did to the
Journalists by whom she was surround

marriage she horrified the court ladies
by taking of her gloves. One of them
demonstrated because il was q devia-
ton from the rules. But the empress
promptly settled the objection by say
ing that the deviation should hence
forth be the rule. The court ladies had
another blow when the empress insist
ed on wearing pair of boots month

empress to wear her shoes only once.

One of the most interesting of So

Johanna Bcrkenruth, the royal book
binder. 1t is no hobby with her. She
loves it and has made il distinct. Mod

SO fully alive to the beautiful possibil-

carrying on of the School of High De-

the countess of Warwick sells the prod

crowded the other day by prominent
members of the nobility, curious sight
seers and prospective purchasers. for
the fair countess stood behind the
counter herself that day. and il is suf-
ficient to say that her ladyship's per-
suasiveness as saleswoman cqualed
the magnetism of her personal beauty.

Senator Wellington took us to the
verge of the cliff, and from that dizzy
height pointed to a crevice in the cliff
side. where a citizen of Cumberland,
tired of life, adventurously clambered
like a cliff dweller and, entering the
cleft, swallowed laudanum ard went
into the long and dreamless sleep Of
death. His disappearance was une-s-

atives sought him all over the world
by every available agency. After seven
years had elapsed young man with
adventurous spirit undertook to de.
scend the face of the rock, and came
near losing his life by falling headlong,
when he was startled and Mortified by
suddenly discovering before him the
skeleton of human being. Quickly

young man entered the cleft, and there

shreds of a vest, a watch and chain;

,ostensibly were under a flag of truce
of the Mormons, which promised them
safe conduct.
II was full year before the news
of this frightful massacre reached the
ears of the outside world. Who was re-
sponsible for it? Who ordered it?
Were the Mormon authorities its au-
thor? These and many connected ques-
tions will never be answered know
ingly until the day of judgment, when
the secrets of all hearts shall be re-
vealed.
But, according to his own confession,
John D. Lee, who at one time was re-
garded as one of the most influential
men in the Mormon church in south
ern Utah, largely aided in the plan
ming and carrying out of this atrocious
massacre. The Mormon church claims
that Lee and his fellow murderers
hatched out this plot without their in.
structions, knowledge or connivance
But Lee, when tried for his share OF
the murder, and afterwards in a writ
ten confession, distinctly charges that
brigham Young and the other authori
ties of the Mormon hierarchy gave the
commands which led to the perpetra
ton of the foul deed.
This il the question at issue which
will never be solved this side of the
Judgment day. But there are pages in
the later life of Lee which have never
before been written and which were
discovered by Mr.. w. w. Bass. one OF
the pioneer trail-makers into the Grand
canyon of the Colorado river, and my
self, from several reliable and differ
ent sources.
Pieced together the story is some
what as follows: After the massacre,
Lee claims to have acquainted the
church authorities with all its
details. and received instructions from
Brigham Young as to the distribution
of the property stolen from the emf
grants. For some years subsequent to
the deed he was in high favor because
of the implicit obedience he had given
in carrying out the alleged rules of the
church in the matter. But when the
Gentle world became SO aroused that
the general government found it ncces-
sary to endeavor to arrest the perpe-
traitors of the foul crime and see that
they were rightly punished. Lee claims
that the council of the Mormon church
determined to make him the sacrifice
which should appease the popular fury
Brigham Young, however, was much
attached to Lee, ~ he found him most

AMERICA "cErs THERE. u
One Of the Leading London Newsra-
pers Admits Defeat of Britt
iah Trade.

American hustle is at last acknowl-
edged to beat British slowness, when
even the slowest of London newspapers.
the Times, is found admitting our COM
mercial alertness in these words:
"a good deal of comment has been
caused by the news that the contract
for the bridge which Is to carry the new
Soudan railway over the River Atbara
has been given to an American firm. and
ii seems to have been assumed in some
quarters that transatlantic ironmas-
ter had been preferred to a British
manufacturer, and that the Egyptian
government had gone out of its way to
ignore this country. But the facts are
exactly the reverse. The English agent
for the Egyptian government. who had
the ordering of the Atbara bridge, gave
the first chance to British traders, and
would doubtless have given them the
sole chance but fer tn. imperative inn
portance of speedy delivery. OF the
British ironmasters approached not one
could guarantee delivery in the time at
which delivery was required.

close as to time, but. speed being of par
amount Importance and as the Ameri-
cans could insure it in the greatest
measure. there was no choice but to go
to them for the work. In contrast to
the promptitude with which they have
shipped the component parts of the
bridge may be placed the fact that the
agents of the Egyptian government had
to wait four months for one small
bridge of 81 tons ordered in England.
Probably the recent engineering dis
pute was responsible for this. 1t will
be found that the locomotives for the
Soudan railway, or, at all events, the
first batch delivered, will come from
America. The reason in this case is
precisely the same. The desire is to get
delivery with all possible dispatch, and
as America is in a position to guarantees
greater speed than England the govern
ment here has had no choice but to &c
to the states for at least that portion oi
the order which could not wait."-Chi-

RAPID EATING.
The one Thing That II Likely e Se-
care q Russian Girl = Speedy
Marriage.

OF all the strange customs of foreign
nations those that strike US to be mcst
peculiar are the marriage customs OF
the Russian peasants. 1t is the aim of
every young peasant to acquire for
himself wife that viii I've suitable
aid both in the field and in the kitchen,
and he leaves the choice to his parents.
The beauty of the young lady and her
taste of dress and furniture is little
considered, but instead the dispatch
with which she can perform her daily
duties. And in the following peculiar
way her ability in that line is obtained:
The parents of the young man decide
that certain young lady would make
! suitable mate for him. They say
nothing about the matter to anyone.
but on some evening they will drop
around unexpectedly to the prospective
brides home and will stay for supper.
During the meal they will keep close
watch on the young lady. IT she eats
fast she will perform her work speedi-
ly; if she goes neatly and cleanly about
her plate she will perform her work
neatly and cleanly; if she does not talk
much she will work. and not talk, and
prove faithful and obedient wife to
her husband; If she prefers rye bread
to white she will be satisfied with her
lot; if she does not gaze and stare at the
visitors she will be wife that will not
continually pry into her husbands busi-
ness. and if she Immediately proceeds
to clean up the dishes after the meal
she will bring prosperity TO her hus-
money.
Thus the fate of the young couple II
decided. Should she prove satisfactory
to the young mans parents, by the
aforementioned actions, the parents
stay after supper and close the bar
gain with the young lady's parents over
q bottle of good vodka.
A most peculiar thing about the mar
riage ceremony is the fact that when
the couple enter the church both groom
and bride make a dash for the platform,
on which is the pulpit. II is believed
that the one whose foot touches the
platform first will live the longer, and
that the children will take after that
one in size, health and beauty.
The festivities last three days. during
which all friends and relatives celebrate
a holiday. The bride is adorned in a
bandana of the brightest hue and with
ribbons of all colors and shades. The
groom has a new fur hat and skin
overcoat tied with belt of brightest
red. The marriages generally take
place in the fall, after the harvest has
been gathered.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
