closely timbered valley. which leads
you once more into the John Brown
road. but considerable distance near
er Harpers Ferry than the historic
John Brown farm. From that point 1t
Is a familiar road to Harpers Ferry,
the place which the Rambler left early
in the morning for a trip over the
heroic fields of Antietam.
In concluding the first part of the An
tietam ramble brief reference was
made to the political or factional trou-
bles which operated as a check upon
the efficiency of the Army of the Poto-
mac and the Army of Virginia All men
will never agree on this subject. but
there are certain facts which stand out
boldly. No other commander 30 stirred
the enthusiasm or held the confidence
of the rank and file of the Union armies
in the east as did Mcclellan. No other
commander had more loyal support
from the men and officers whose busi-
ness 1t was to be on the firing line than
did Little Mac until Grant came from
the west, and at that time the star OF
the Confederacy was setting.
There is another fact to be borne in
mind, and 1t is that the Union army
passes of South mountain, fought its
way across Antietam creek and beat
back the victory flushed troops Of jack
son, Longstreet and A. P. Hill to the
tam creek, was the army which, under
Pope, had been beaten at the second
Bull Run and a fortnight before had
fallen back in disorganized. or nearly
of Washington. In casting about for
an officer to bring order out of chaos
and save Washington the President
firing lines at Washington could think
of no other man than Mcclellan. who
had failed in the peninsula campaign

the very ground which later was estab-
lished and inclosed as a national ceme-
terry.
This national cemetery owes its ORR
gin to the state of Maryland, though,
of course. with the thousands of SOL
diers' graves scattered for miles over
the South mountain and the Antietam
country, the government would have
created a national cemetery in this re-
gion, but Maryland took the lead. 1t
is recorded that in March, 1865, the
state of MARYLAND appropriated $1,000
and appointed four trustees to purchase
the battlefield as cemetery for the
men who fell on the surrounding fields.
The trustees purchased lot on the
east edge of Sharpsburg. in sight of
the Burnside bridge, the Dunkard
Church. other great points on the bat
tleground. and within sight also of the
houses which had been occupied as
headquarters by Mcclellan and Lee.
McClellan's headquarters was nj the
brick house of Philip Pry, two miles
short OF mile north of Porterstown.
on some high land east Of Antietam
creek. and behind that part Of the. line
where Hooker. Mansfield and Sumner
crossed the stream against the lines Of
Hood, D. H. Hill and Evans in the
morning Of the 18th. Lees headquar-
tiers was his tent, pitched on land ad-
joining the Grove house. broad and
deep old red brick house on the west
edge of Sharpsburg; bue he held coun-
Gil of his staff in that house. and 1t, is
pointed out to visitors as Lees head
quarters.
Maryland. at an extra session Of the
legislature in January, 1866. made an
additional appropriation of $4,000, and.
the question coming before the legis-
1atures of several states, various ap-
preparations were made for the en-
largement OF the cemetery. Beginning
in october, 1866, and continuing until

tinues for two miles. There is q rugged
beauty about it. and the way 10 quiet
almost to loneliness. Nearly all the
way the road is shady. and in only
few places are you out OF sight Of the
river, which. along this part OF its
course. is calm, deliberate and steady.
The river here gives one the impression
of considerable depth. as though 1t has
secured out a deep channel between the
ridges. No rocks disturb its flow. One
is apt to have the impression that the
upper Potomac is rocky and seething
and foaminp along its whole course.
whereas the rocky stretches are short
in comparison with the part OF the
river which moves smoothly and Sc
dately.

Club Notes

The season Of the Dorset Field Club
promises to be a very good one, the
registration at this time being far in
advance of several years past. The
golf links are now in excellent condi-
ton, as are also the tennis courts and
the clock golf lawn. The addition Of
flower boxes on the piazza, together
with flower beds at both ends Of the
house, makes very attractive sight.
A new flag pole also adds to the good
looks of the grounds.
The entertainment on Saturday
evening, July nth, was in charge of
Miss G. E. Halves and h. Z. Thomp-
son, who gave the club great treat
in the form of an entertainment by
the Misses Hoyt of Manchester. A
very large and appreciative audience
attended. Dancing followed.
Each Monday night an auction
bridge party will be held at the club.
The prizes on Monday night, July 10,
were won by Mrs. D. w. Houston,
Mrs. Edw. Pratt, Mrs. Henry Prentiss,
and Mrs. R. NJ. Pearce.
The weekly tea was held on Wednes-
day afternoon, July 14th. Mrs. R. M.

ed for the occasion The tea this

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES
ALTHOUGH VERY SLOWLY

NEW YORK. Feb. 11.-Bradstreets'
Review this week will say:
Gains in trade continue OF a small
though cumulative character. with ac-
tual Improvement still trailing behind
optimistic sentiment. Likewise, in
dustries. notably iron and steel. coke.
textiles and automobile manufactur.
ers. are rounding into better shape.
but concededly at a low pace. and in
consequence unemployment. the pro-
portions of which have probably been
over-exaggerated by many. Is giving
way to increased employment and
larger pay rolls.
While cereal farmers have profited
from high prices for wheat, they do
not display unwonted activity in pur.
chasing goods, and the volume of bus.
mess coming froni that source. rela-
lively good though II is. hardly fuliIls
highly colored anticipations.
Wheat exports for the week ending
February IL were 9.7OS.55O bushels,
against 1902. 4Os bushels a year ago.
Business failures for the week (five
days.. in the United States were 435.
compared with 313 last year; in Can.
ada. 81, compared with 40 last year.

SICK HEADACHES
DISAPPEAR

Sick headaches vanish like magic
when TRIETS are taken. The pois.
ons that come to the brain from
foul, waste matter in the intestines
are quickly gotten rid of when YOU
take TRlETS. They rouse the liver
TO action, so that it throws off the
excess bile. The sour, fermenting
food in the intestines is passed off.
making you feel we'll and cheerful
again.
TRlETS are spearmint favored
and very pleasant to the taste. Take
one tonight and you will be sur
prised how fine you will feel in the
morning.

FINANCE

NEW YORK. Feb. 1l.-Heavy buy
ing OF United States Steel common at
steady advances was the chief feature
OF to-day's strong and broad market.
Large individual lots OF the stock
changed hands from the very outset.
and at no time did IL recede more
thai a mere fraction. At the end OF
the session Il showed a net gain of
2A points. OF 6as above its minimum.
Rumor was busy with the movement
in Steel. gossip attributing It's strength
to possible compromise OF the suit
brought by the government Apart
from this. however. the company's IA
vorable statement OF January tonnage.
as published yesterday. together with
the fact that many of the larger steel
plants have recently increased their
output by more than so per cent,
were regarded as sufficient causes for
the rise.
The entire list shared in the move
ment. but IL was noteworthy that most
OF the substantial gains were in high
class or important issues, as against
the recent spasmodic advances in spe-
cialties. Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific were assisted by the declara-
ton OF the regular dividend. even
though no changes had been expected
in well informed quarters.
The annual report of the Republic
Iron q Steel Company. showing a net
loss OF over $2.OOO.0OO for 1914. testi-

in that trade.
