down THE
SUSQUEHANNA

G. G. Davis and r. NJ Trutt, two
young Philadelphians, who spent sun
day at the Montour House, are en-
joying.a novel outing IN the form Of a
four hundred and fifty mile canoe trip
down the Susquehanna.
The young men are expert canoemen
and previously enjoyed their outing
in Maine exploring the beauties of the
lakes in the interior of the state. All
though Maine has much to recommend
it As tho scene of summer outing
the canoemen aver that although they
have only partially completed their
trip down the North Branch yet they
have found along its course beauty
| a peculiar charm, that surpasses any
The most beautiful scenery, they say,
| is 10 be found between BinEhamtOn
and PlttstOn. At the former place the
river is scarcely one third as wide as
here and drifting with the stream as
! il becomes wider and wider, winding
! through the fertile valleys and among
the emerald mountains, which at many
| places rise abrupt from the water 8
| edge, is most restful aud dreamy eX-
! perience wooing ono away from har-
RAISING cares, and even memory of
| the strife and turmoil which makes
up the rest of the wear
The young men are making the
| Journey in seventeen foot spruce
canoe, covered with canvas. They
went from Philadelphia to Bingham
ton by rail and last Monday morning
at the latter place launched their swift
| sailing craft on the Susquehanna.
They are making the cruise in easy
stages, travelling by day only, general
ly stopping by might at some town or
village where there are hotel accom-
modations The distance covered by
the one week in which they have been
on their journey, they state. is 2l5
miles.
When they left Binghamton the
crest of the recent food had passed

The blast furnace in this city owned

past. according to authoritative infor-
nation, will start up in the near fut-
ure. 1t will bo operated by new
company organized as late as August
5th, and known As the Suquehanna

The first that was learned of the en-
terprise in this city was through an
article In the current number OF the
Iron Age, which was read yester-
day for the first The article reads as
follows:

The LATEST Horror Pleasure.

The oOp-the- loop is beaten. That

passengers A single track is used, on
which railway cars are caused to

directions When one car meets an
other, it simply rides over the roof Of
the opposing car on specially provid

the emotions of an engineer who faces

remarked that the invention solves the
supposedly impossible problem of the
passage of trains on the same track.

Formaldehyde in Milk,

Dairymen who make "a practice of
putting formaldehyde in their milk
for the purpose of keeping it sweet
had better be on the lookout The
dairy and food commission is after all
such, and several farmers have had to
pay dearly for experimenting with the
drug. The papers in different parts OF
the state have told of number of in
stances where those adulterating milk
with formaldehyde have been detected
and mulcted for a nice bill of costs.
One paid $G2 80; another was fined
800 aud costs, and SO on. The food
commission, it is plain TO be seen, Is
determined to break up the practice
of adulterating milk, which, it is
known, is carried on to considerable
extent throughout the state, and dairy
men guilty of the Otfense are liable to
be arrested at any time, as the com
missions agents go about stealthity
and sometimes put in an appearance
when least expected. Never in the
history OF the state were the pure food
laws so strictly enforced as at the
present time, and we trust there will
be no slackeuing in the energy of those
whose duty it is to see that the ad
alteration evil is abated Tho people
are entitled to pure food and drink,
and those who foist adulterated and
poisonous articles upon the market,
and who do so knowingly, are deserv-
ing of severe punishment.

COLE GROUNDS
At CASTLE GROVE

The new golf ground at Castle Grove
now nearly completed, adds another
interesting feature to the already eX
tensive grounds Of that beautiful
estate. 1t is the first golf grounds
established in MOntouT county-the
first that many of our residents have
ever seen and it naturally becomes the
object of considerable curiosity.
A small ball and club crooked at
the lower end enter into game of
golf and the trick is to see who can
drive the ball into series of small
holes in the ground with the fewest
number Of strokes.
1t is strenuous game requiring
vigorous exercise on the part OF the
players. Nothing less then small
farm sutfices for the game. The golf
grounds at CASTLE Grove comprise
about twenty five acres and extend
from the drive just north of the man
sion all the way to the cemetery
No attempt will be made to de
scribe the grounds technically. Suffice
it to say in golf a level surface is not
desired so that while great deal of
work has been put Oh the grounds in
filling up, sOdding, etc, the object
was rather to secure the opposite
effect The tract has naturally q roll
| ing surface this rs required by golf
has been improved upon by the cree
| tion of little mounds neatly sOdded
over, no two o? the same height and
grouped here and there in the most
arbitrary fashion. Adding to the ad-
aptability OF the tract stream flows
| through the entire length, the channel
being worn To considerable depth.
| This stream will be spanned by six
rustic bridges for the accommodation
of those who take part in the game.
The golf ground will be supplied
with water SO that the grass can be
sprinkled when it needs it. The en-.
| tire tract will receive the same care
as the lawn around the mansion OF
which 1t really forms part. 1t al.
ready presents most beautiful ap-
pearance. With the golf grounds the
lawn at Castle Grove now contains
some sixty five acres.
Among other improvements at CASTLE
Grove is new palm house, sixty-siS
feet in length which is being erected
as one Of the appurtenanCes Of the
mansion. 1t occupies the site of the
smaller palm house recently torn
! down.
