HE TOURED THE EAST
G. M. Fowler Saw a Lot of Things In
 New York and Elsewhere.

Gates NJ. Fowler has returned from a six weeks visit in the east in which he had more fun and saw more sights than it is given some people to enjoy in ' life time. His mission was one of business but he heightened his stay somewhat in order to taste the good things of life and utilized every spare moment seeing things.
 He is interested in a copper mining deal which will doubtless end to his perfect satisfaction. That was what called him to New York and all that he wishes to say about it now is that he is satisfied with the situation.
 After transacting his business in the city he went to Saratoga, White Sul- phur Springs and other famous resorts. then to Schuylerville, where Burgoyne surrendered, and saw the spot where General Gates was killed by Indians and climbed the Schuylerville monu- ment, erected to his memory. That IS. he went up 1S6 feet to the first window and came down again for fear he would get so far away from earth he could not find the way back. It is a huge granite structure and very imposing
 His next delightful experience was a twenty-mile drive along the banks of the Hudson. Here he said was the most beautiful scenery he ever beheld He has been something of a reader in his time but reading about these places is not like seeing them. Placid waters, shady glens, rippling brooks, fine road ways and all go to make up a land scape never to be forgotten by those who have had the pleasure of viewing it.
 He went back to the city again and from there to Philadelphia to visit his brothers, Henry and Richard. who are studying dentistry. They are both do- ing well and both honor men in their class. After seeing what there was in Quakertown he went to Atlantic City and took a peep at society in its sum- mer clothes He says that 10000 men women and children, all in bathing at once, rather knocks the romance out of the Phoenix natatOrium and he coulI not help thinking of that much used comparison, thirty cents" Wealth, beauty and good nature seemed to be the three grdces of Atlantic City in the summer time.
 From there he went to League Island navy yard, secured an introduction to Captain Clark who took the good boat Oregon around the horn in the early days of the Spanish-American war. He was also permitted to inspect the Min neapolis and Alabama to his satisfac- ton.
 But he couldn't keep away from New York. That town caught his fancy and he went back again. He describes the pace of America'S greatest city as de- cidedly rapid and just at this time it is a boiling, seething political caudron. He knows from the interest taken that 1 someone is to be elected but he don't know who. There are too many sources of information there for man to figure on who has been in the habit of count ing up country precincts in Arizona on his fingers.
 He took occasional excursions to Coney Island and along the sound and learned how to catch the sportiva crab. In fact he claims he caught 100 in half an hour, cooked them and ate half of them himself. He says that crab Ca:cl- ing is the ideal sport. But the two chief joys of his existence down east" were | eating huckleberry pie and looking at | pretty women. He never succeeded in getting enough of the former and as for the women he was not aware that such an aggregation of female beauty wealth and good clothes could be go-- ten together in any one place.
 He returned home by way of Niagara | Falls and Buffalo. In Buffalo he ! saw the buildings being construct i ed for the P&n-AmericIn expos tion
 and says it looks like city itself It
 will prove a big affair. Altogether ne
 had a most enjoyable trip. He has b. en | east several times before and has vis- 'ited New York, but always on business, ] and says he has now just had a glimpse l of how people who can afford to live,
 may enjoy themselves.
