as soon rs the New Ulm-M -Mankato cut
off is finished. The train crews will
have headquarters in New Ulm.
The work along the N. 6 st. L. exten-
sion on the NJ. g st. L. road is not
progressing as rapidly as was expected
owing to the lack Of laborers. The Zig
bridge over the Big Cottonwood is near
ing completion, slowly but surely, but
taking everything in consideration it is
not to be expected to have the new road
in operation before the end of the year.

ly: Chas. Mazer, who does what is

first from platform 75 feet high, strik-
ing the water head first He is the only
man in the world who has successfully
performed this dangerous feat; Prof.
Chas. johnson who jumps backwards
from height of IS feet, turning three
somersaults in the air, and striking the
water head foremost; Capt. Geo. W.
Clarke, the champion high diver of the
world. He has a record of l65 feet.
He Will dive from the top of a 100 foot
tower head foremost into the tank be-
low. In addition to the above, these
gentlemen give performance lasting
three quarters of an hour with their
wonderful flying trapeze tricks. The

The Old Settlers VIII Meet.
The old settlers reunion at Fort
R1dgely has been postponed from Sept.
Z, 8 and to Sept. IA, Is and Is. The
change of dates has been made owing to
the fact that the state fair will be in
progress on the first named dates. A.
mong the prominent guests expected to
be present will be Senator Cushman z.
Davis, Gov. Lind, Chas. E. Flandreau
and others. A large delegation from
this city will be present, and it is likely
that an old settlers organization will be
perfected, which is in fact the prime mo-
tive of the planned meeting.

With the Shore
Resorts.

The Greenyille and Bayonne trolley
ears were crowded all day yesterday
! with people heading for. pleasure resorts
! along the Newark and New York Bay
shores. The cars ran on one minute
Roadway and no complaints of over
crowding We're heard. All were seeking
pleasure and recreation, and judging
from the happy faces and laughter they
were not disappointed. Happy families,
composed of the father and mother and
in many cases half a dozen children,
were numerous, the head Of the family
usually carrying a basket with good
things. on which to dine on reaching
their destination.
Young men and boys, carrying bats,
balls, masks and gloves, and all the
paraphernalia essential to the game of
baseball, could be seen on every car
There are numerous vacant lots in the
Greenville section where the boys can
play without being molested. They are
a trife noisy at times, but the
Greenville citizens are fond of seeing the
young folk enjoy themselves, and offer
no objections.
The ruins of the old Merseles homestead
on the New York Bay shore We're yfsited
by a number of people yesterday The
spot on which the old house stood is a
beautiful one. Large shade trees sur
rounded Inc old dwelling. There is an cid
path running from the house to a beauti-
full natural arbor, composed of honey
suckle vines and lilac bushes. A SPLEEN
did view of the Statue of Liberty, Bay
Ridge, the Narrows and Staten Island
can be obtained from this point. Wild
flowers grow in profusion on the grounds
and many bouquets were carried away
by the youngsters. The curious crowd

Our picturesque Governor has taken UP
the gauntlet thrown down to us by the
state OF Texas. He waves his ambrosial
locks ana comes to the defense of New
Jersey like the true Jerseyman that he is.
IN a very polite and gentlemanly manner
he suggests to Texas that she had better
min her own business and he broadly
intimates that her Governor does not
know what he is talking about. He says
1t is not likely that he will attend the
proposed conference of Governors at st.
Louis for the purpose OF devising means
of squelching the monsters, because he
does not see what good such a convention
could accomplish. The Governor is in
clined, however. to favor the scheme of
the Civic Federation, which has invited
the Executive OF each State to send a
delegation to Chicago on September ID to
discuss combinations of capital. common
~ called trusts
There is apparently good reason for this
view of the Governors. The talk of the
Texas mar is strongly im~pregnated with
anarchy and socialism. He apparently
ssumes it. at the start. as a fact the
trusts are gigantic evils, which, II moi

this country. The Texas Jack g the

WEST SHORE RAILROAD

The publication, Homes and Tours is
sued by the West Shore Railroad Passen-
ger Department, at New York City, is a
work which should be studied by every
one who is considering the direction and
traitor of their midsummer holiday, as
it gives every detail as to cost of living
and travelling expenses, and a full list
of all boarding houses in reach of the
line. The railroad offers a bewildering
choice of routes for a holiday, both on
the Hudson and in the Catskills, each
one with some special inducement to the
lover of fine scenery or healthful out
door exercise.
Going up the Hudson the road passes
through a great number of places of his
toric interest, such as Tappan, where
Major Andre paid the penalty of his
treachery; Stony Point, the scene of An
thony Wayne's famous exploit; West
Haverstraw, Fort Montgomery, West
Point, Cornwall and Newburgh, where
may still be seen the house which was
used as Washington's headquarters at the
close of the Revolution; and Kingston,
where the constitution of the State OF
New York was framed in 1777, and the
first Legislature met in the Senate
House, which had been built by the
Dutch on their first settlement in 1914
II. is difficult among so many beautiful
scenes to select one more deserving OF
description than another, and we can
only quote from the handbook to give a
description of what it is when describ-
inb the beauties of the West Shore OF the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS who are deprived
of the pleasure of travelling in the his
toric ways of the Old World will find
scenes as fruitful of noble memories, as
rich in stories of heroism, as fun OF
poetic suggestion, and scenery as grand
or beautiful, mountain air as s~alubrious
and health giving as any hat cluster
about the Rhine or the snow clad Alps.
