GOING ABROAD.

If it were not for the American
tourists to Europe it would not
be many years before it would be
practically impossible for Eu-
ropean countries to buy our
meats, bieadstutfs, and other
things which they get from us. 1t
is estimated by eminent New York
bankers, who deal in letters of
credit and have other sources of
information, that American tour
lists carry abroad and spend there
more than $500, 100000 o year.
More Americans have gone to Eu-
rope this year than in any pre-
vious year, and it is the impress
ion that those VINO have money
are spending it more literally.
The fact that the country is pros
porous seems to make people who
travel for pleasure feel richer,
and, consequently, they are more
liberal in their expenditures. Out
side of the churches and art galle-
ries, there is as much of real in
terest to see in this country as
there Is in Europe, but it is i'm
possible to make people believe it.
At least, they don't want to be-
lieve it. 1t doesn't sound as we'll
in their opinion, at least it doesn't
make as much of an impression,
to speak to ones friends and &C
quaintances of visit to the won
ders Of the mountain region of
the West or to Alaska, as it does
to speak of a visit to Europe. The
man who can say he has just re-
turned from trip to London or
Paris feels much more important
than if he were to say that he had
been on trip to the Yellowstone
Park.
And so the vast army of sum-
mer travellers continue to 60 to
Europe. 1t is estimated that
there will be more than 100000
first.class passengers to European
countries this year, and fully 3d.
600 second-class. And if they dis
tribute $500, 100000, they will not
leave much of our balance of trade
to be added to our wealth.

AN EXTINCT SPECIES.

In the days of the "under-
ground railway" and the "person-
al liberty" acts which fourteen
Northern States put into their
statute books in order to nullify
that clause of the Constitution re-
quiring the surrender of fugitive
slaves escaping from one State
into another, it is not likely that
anybody in Pennsylvania, for ex-
ample, tOresaw the race troubles
that would disturb that section
half a century later, or that Penn
sylvania newspapers would be
found publishing such dispatches
as the following, which we clip
from the Philadelphia Record:
York, Pa. July BLEEDING
the demand made by indignant
citizens of York and Spring Grove,
the Western Maryland Railroad
Company to-day announced that
III the future no negro excursions
would be booked for Highland
Park, west of this city. A big ex-
cursion was scheduled to visit the
park to-day, but after the serious
trouble of last Monday, when
Adam Spangler, custodian of the
park, was shamefully beaten by a
mob, and when the negroes on q
train compelled two white girls to
ride on the cab of the train and
two men TO jump out of the win
dows near Spring Grove, it was
not deemed wise by the railroad
officials to bring any more excur.
sions to this city. There was q
fear that any negro excursion
coming this way just now would
be treated badly by the white pec-
pie"
The "down-trodden" negro OF
history is more fully an extinct
species than is quite to the taste
of the masses of the people of the
Northern States, and their pres
ent temper, where this question is
concerned, is revealed in the re-
cent remark of a Philadelphian to
the effect that "the next time we
fight to free anybody it will be to

AMBITION.

II saw a man pile mountains to

ward fame alluring heights, and
I saw how by schemes his Golfer:
bulgiDg with bonds and stocks ana

I saw him unfold the columned
inventory :of his fabulous wealth
and love and steep his soul in
gloating contemplation. l heard
the clamor of the crowded streets
and the shouts and plaudits of
the fawning throng as he passed
proudly by, and l saw him pass
on and up toward the zenith of
renowE and seek his place among
the great, supremely satisfied with
himself, finding consolation in
the thought that envy assaiis the
noblest and winds howl about
the highest peak
"And then | saw him look for q
moment into his own soul and
blanch in affrighted terror at the
black stain that sin had made,
and l saw cloud of remorse set
tie upon his brow and the with

it into frowns, and I heard his
heart cry out in anguish, sob,
that l had risen to this height by
fairer means !"-Bob Taylor.

EXECUTOR OF HIS OWN WILL.

A rich Indiana farmer of the
name of Deffenbaugh has designa-
ted himself in his will as the ex-
ecutor Of his estate. Asked why
he had made so unusual a provis-
ion he said that he expected his
spirit to return to earth after his
death and take charge of his prop
erty. Here, then, is a fine oppor-
tunity for some person cf the
Dow;e type to come forward and
claim the estate on the ground
that he is a reincarnation of the
deceased Deffenbaugh.

all about the right to challenge,

more challenging he and his law

go for him.

that the jury now satisfied him.

Sad Death of Wallace E. F. Beecher-
 Thrown from His Naphtha Launch
 Off Woodmont.
 Pitched from his motor launch by the sudden starting of the engine, Wallace E. F. Beecher, thirty4fve years old, of S16 Congress avenue, was drowned off Savin Rock early Saturday evening. The body had not been recovered up to late last night.
 Beecher, with his wife and mother, Mrs. w. E. F. Beecher. had taken up his residence on Beach street, Savin Rock, for the summer. The accident oc- cured while he was returning from Woodmont in his launch with a friend. Between the Sperry light and Long pier the engines suddenly came to a stop. Beecher leaned over and was tinkering with the machinery when the engines suddenly started throwing him into the water. His companion, Per- rin, who steered the launch for him, vainly tried to rescue him, tossing a rope out within his reach, but Beecher disappeared in few moments.
