TIIE TMES PHILADELPHIA, SUNDAY JULY 24, 1887. 10 BLAISE IN LONDON. I vantages of a possible severe header are militating much in favor of the rear drivers CHDHHBB FOR CLAMS. MMEEUEFOf FBEE MGASA FALU TUE CHANGES OF TWO YEARS AT THIS RESORT OF SIGUT SEERS. MERE THE FLYERS ARE AND WHERE they're shipped West or sold to retailers in the city.

They're sold as Little Uecks, for Little Neckers has the name, though Horse shoers has the flavor." "Is this an old settlement?" "It's only been here since last summer. Jonathan Layton was the pioneer. Why should he row 'way down from Highlands and back every day, thinks he; so he builds himself a house on a float, and down he comes. He was lonely at first, an' in one o' the storms his shanty was carried clear up to the railroad track an' landed there, so that if train had come along bis summer residence would have been knocked into smithereens. But as the flood receded it bore him off, an' he managed to lassoo his moorings.

This year Dave Miller, Charley Carstead and Bill Thorn have joined him." Do you own the ground here?" "You bet. That is, it's government land, so I supposes we owns it. Anyhow, here we are." How long do you stay down here Till November. Then we have ourselves towed back to the Highlands. In winter we churn for soft clams with hoes through holes in the ice.

When we've lifted the clams up a little way on the hoes we scap 'em with rakes." Did you ever work at high tide No. The motion of the wateT makes the pole bob too much and the rake wouldn't bury itself in the bottom. At low water we sometimes wade with smaller rakes." A peculiar method of clamming is affected by farmers near Seabright, further up the the reservation vans. They should be left to secure their patronage from snobs and those who must show off wherever they go. Sensible people with legs under them will walk directly from the depot to the reservation, touching at the park first where, under the shade provided by the State, they can get a magnificent view ol the American fall and make np their minds where they will go next.

If one has only one day to stay he can see the American side leisurely on foot, stay longest where he is most pleased, sit when he is tired of walking, eat his luncheon by the spring ou Goat Island at his leisure, cool his heated brow in the strong wiud that always blows upward from the great cataract and go his way without encountering a greedy hack driver or peddler of alleged Indian curiosities which no Indian ever saw. If he has time and wants to take in the Canada side he can deliberately bargain for a carriage or cross in the ferry boat Maid of the Mist. If be is wise aud the possessor of sound limbs, bow ever, he will see the falls from her Majesty's dominions without the intervention of hack man or ferry boat by walkuag across the Suspension bridge, the toll upon which ba been reduced to twenty five cents. If he i wants to tako in the lower rapids and the whirlpool, of course he will take a carriage. Under present conditions the least experienced person can come hero, see all that is to be seen and not be imposed on or annoyed if he will go about his business as he would do anywhere else.

THE CANADA SIDE TO EE FREE. There was soino doubt in the minds of the public for a time whether the promise of the Dominion Government to create a public park of the Canadian approach to the cataract and rapids was to be made good. The New York authorities had carried out their pledges and the public bad been welcomed to a view of the New York side of the falls foi two years before tho Canadian Government got possession of tho land necessary for a suitable reservation. This has been done at last, however, and a strip of land one thousand feet iu width aud. extending from the south end of the Clifton House to the head of the Canadian rapids will suon be thrown open to public occupation.

The old "Museum" and other places that plucked the gullible public iu former days will have to go. The old museum keeper says he will bring bis assortment of humbug curiosities to the American side aud erect a building for their display; but, as he will not be allowed on the reservation, tho visitors who are defrauded by his job lot of alleged curiosities will have only themselves to blame for their folly. In a very short time both approaches to this mightiest of all America's natural wonders will be as free as they were when Father Hcnnopin gazed awe stricken upon it for the first time. A visitor to Niagara can get his money's worth, even now, and the completion of the Canadian reservation will leave nothing to complain of on the part of the sightseer who comes here to enjoy himself and get a proper sense of bis own nothingness iu presence of nature's mighty forces. A Pneumatic Tube Account of What tbe Papers Said of Hi.ni.

W. H. Sivfter in Tid Blts. From London papers which have just arrived we learn a great niaoy facts about Mr. Blaine which lave hitherto escaped his American biographers.

Some extracts are appended: The Et. Hon. James G. Blaine and wife have jnst arrived in the city. Mr.

Blaine is at present Governor General of Maine, a province on the southwestern coast of Lake Mississipph In addition to this office he holds that of Vice President of the Republic iu accordance with the rule adopted by the Parliament at Washington, which gives the Vice Presidential position to the man who secures the secoud highest vote for President. Mr. Blaine would have been elected President and Mr. Cleveland Vice President had not the Chiuese delegate to the National Convention opposed him on account of a previously expressed opinion that the emigration of Chinese should be stopped. "Mr.

Blaine is a first cousin of the Eight Hon. William F. Cody, better known as 'Buffalo and is expected to call upon him to morrow to formulate governmental plans for action on the reassembling of the American Senate in November, Mr. Cody being a Senator from the province of Key West, beyond the Mississippi river, and a strong supporter of the government. Mr.

Blaine's military title is major general, although he seldom uses it. He gained it by gallant action on the field at Lookout Mountain, where he commanded the Second Chicago Infantry under General Beauregard. Besides receiving his commission as brigadier general he was warmly complimented in a personal letter from President Jefferson Davis aud Secretary of War Stauton. Later he took a prominent part iu the capture of New York and iu the reduction of Fort Duquesne. While a member of President Garfield's Cabinet he proposed the prohibition measure, known as the Maine law, which is in force throughout all tho Northwestern provinces with the single exception of Staten Island.

"As a literary man Mr. Blaine is woll known, ho having issued from the press in the last eighteen mouths a work entitled 'Twenty Years iu which treats largely of his experiences in the National Assembly, which we have briefly alluded to. Under the nom do plume of 1 Howells' ho has written some very creditable verses for tho magazines. He is also editor of the leading Washington newspaper, the Con gressivual Record." TIIE SUPREME JUDGESHIP. A Question for the People, Not the Politicians, to Decido.

To the Editor of The TlMra: Who shall bo the next Supremo Judgo? That is a question for tho people to decide, notwithstanding a few men clothed with political power have decreed that Judge Williams, of Tioga county, shall occupy that position. That tho masters of tho Republican party 1 compel the Republican Convention to ratify their decree no ono doubts. But after the ratification comes the people's power, and as the people of late years have been showing a sturdy independence in the selection of their Judges that power will bo used to rebuke tho audacity of the self assumed inastors, if tho Democratic party is true to itself, its principles and traditions, and places in nomination a candidate for the high office who will be recognized more for his fitness than his availability as a mere partisan. The vory discussion of fitness that is now taking place among Democrats all over the Commonwealth has suggested many names that adorn the bar and bench. This is a healthy sign und is sure to lie productive of good results.

Wo notice among the eminent gentlemen mentioned in connection with the nomination the name of Hon. Michael Arnold, Judge of Common Pleas Court No. 4, of Philadelphia. Judge Arnold would bo a strong nominee, as he was elected to his present position in Republican Philadelphia by a largo majority, notwithstanding his Democracy was pronounced and his opponent was a hide hound Republican tho Judge drawing patriotic inspiration from his political school while his opponent could uot raioo highci than mere parlisau ism. mice Arnold is a close student, a careful observer of men and objects as they pertain to our ever advancing civilization.

Learned us a Judge, dignified in manner, genial in disposition, he is approachable by all who need to come in coulact with him. In this centennial year of the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, und hich will be celebrated in Philadelphia in an iuiHisiug manner, what more graceful act iu memory of the great charter than tho elevation to the Supremo Bench of Pennsylvania of such a clear expounder of constitutional law us Judge Arnold Pennypack." HoLMESiiuita, Philadelphia, July 20, 1SS7. DROPPED DIKING A SHOWER. Lightish Green Lumps That Fell and Mystified the llrooklyn Scientists. From the New York Sun.

When tho storm was at its height and tho rain was coming down in torrents there were two intense claps of thunder in quick succession. Tho noiso was immediately followed by a queer phenomenon. People who were in the stores and uuder the awnings about the corner of Troy and Kill ton avenues were ustouh htd to see a shower of dark colored lumps of various sii fall apparently from the sky, and on striking the pavement give out a flash of llama as they were pulverized. Ono lump, larger apparently than tho rest, struck a shade tree and then fell to the pavement and rolled out into the street. It was picked up by venturesome citizen and carried into (1.

Kreilzer's drug storo. It looked like verdigris or like disintegrated blue vitriol. On the sides that rested on the pavement and the place where it struck the tree there were evidences of fusion. The stuff has a slight metallic and a stringent taste, is lightish green in color, not crystalline, but like a compacted powder. It burns rather readily, with a green name and caunot be fired by percussion.

Tho big chunk was broken up aud distributed among the bystanders. A reporter look a piece of it to tbo Wesb ru Uniuu 'digraph Company's main buttery room, where tons of sulphate of uopjicr are Uicd.

FOB A MAN OF MATURE YEARS. For a man of mature years it offers enormous advantages aud the safety is adding to the ranks of the wheelmen many who would without it never think of riding.

In America especially with her poor roads is the safety a desirable addition to the cycling stud. The tricycle is limited to the good road districts and is awkward to store or ship by train and on bad roads is hard riding. A good tandem, however, must be acknowledged as "fast company" on nearly all kinds of roads and where one is always sure of a compauion for his runs is a very desirable mount. In districts where the roads are good the ordinary bicycle to a young man with plenty of nerve and activity is the most satisfactory. Where the bad road is abundaui the rear driver is probably best, save for its extreme ugliness, for anyone.

Aud for a timid or nervous rider, on even the best roads, a tricycle is tho best. The Star type of safety is the one most generally iu use and is capable of great speed, is a magnificent hill climber and looks well. The only objections to it are the excessive vibratiou equally true of any machine, including the rear driving safety, steering by a small front wheel aud handlebar connection and the continual lifting of tho weight of the leg. Riders who cau handle both Star and ordinary machiue are willing to admit that tho crank is the most comfortable, but somehow they frequently stick to the Star after it has once beeu fully mastered.

in JW AN ODD LITTLE SETTLEMENT IN THE HORSESHOE AT SANDY HOOK. Shanties That Are at Times Ashore, at Times Afloat The Yachtman's Ijove for Chowder. Various Ways of Hunting Clams. The Clam Fishermen. Sandy Hook, July S3.

LAMS. Chowder on Sunday." This is the sign which sends a thrill through every yachtsman who. sunburnt and hun gry, sails of a Sun day evening into the Horseshoe at Sandy Hook. There could not be a finer au di roage for the white winged fleet. Between it and the ocean lies as a breakwater a broad stretch of beach, which also bends gracefully westward, so as to protect the vessels from rough water in the bay.

Clams To a yachtsman in such a harbor and conscious that he has plenty of ice and something on ice pick and a corkscrew aboard his vessel, this word is extremely bracing. Add "Chowder on Sunday" and a vision of steam wreathing itself gracefully upward from out of a deep bowl of flotsam and jetsam floats before his eves, and Sunday acquires a special signifi cance for him. Hardly has a yacht come to anchor iu the Horseshoe of a Sunday evening when a small boat puts oil from her toward shore. As the small boat's keel scrapes the sand and her nose buries itself in the shore two iollv tars spring upon the beach and scamper off toward the shanty on which the musical sign is displayed. A man is leaning against it, and if you were on the other side ot it you could see his head and shoulders, for he is that much taller than his dwelling.

He knows what attractions his clams and his chowders have for Yachtsmen, so with confidence in his mind and his hands iu his trousers pockets he calmlv awaits developments. A man with ice cream for eale would probably put out from shore with a boat and row from yacht to yacht. But this man has clams aud chowder, and lie knoweth that the sportsman hankereth after both. Ho is posi tive in bis owu mind that tho yachtsmen ill come to him. At first they did not.

They expected him to come to them. But he didn't. He had confidence in his clams. So one evening, when the yacht were at anchor and the wind was ou shore, ho built a tire and on the fire he put a pot, and in the pot he put the ingredients ot a chowder clam juice, tomatoes, crusts, pepper and salt. The breeze wafted the aroma over to the yachts.

Lower the boats Heave away shouted the yachtsmen in chorus. I here was a regu lar rowing rice for the chowder. Ever sinoe then the sailors have "pulled for the shore." The shanty lias other peculiarities besides that ot being smaller iu height than its in habitant. It is built on a float; an anchor whose takes arc deep in the sand is attached to it by a stout rope, and another rope holds it to a scrub oak. i our other shanties sunt larly anchored and moored are in the vi cinity.

The whole collection of shanties forms a settlement of clam fishermen. lint the shanties aren't always on the beach. A high tide may lift them off, and then they rock on tho waves, tugging at the ropes which hold them to the scrub oaks. If, as happened Inst summer in the terrible squall which capsized the boat of a Philadelphia pleasure party and plunged many families into mourning, the ropes break, tho chances are that the shanties will drag their anchors and be at the mercy of the wiud aud waves. From early spring until lato fall theso clam fishermen nmy be seen in their boats 'chugging" for clams with their immense rakes.

They come from Highlands, on the Shrewsbury river, where the famous Highland lights flash their greeting to the mariners. In March, when there is a good wind blowing down the river, the fishermen shovo their floating shanties from their Highlands moorings, make fast to sail boats aud are towed down the river to the Horseshoe. The houses anchored and moored, work begins. A little creek which empties into the Hurseshoo ulTords an excellent harbor for the small row boats. At half tide tho men get to work.

The poles of their rakes are thirty feet long, aud with them they polo the boats out of the crock and into the waters of tho llorseshoo. Then they begin chugging." The little picture in tho initial letter shows a man chugging in water so deep that he Works with his grip on the very end of the handle of tho long pole. The upward and downward motions of the boat on the waves and its drift ou the tide causes tho forty teeth of the rakes to bury themselves in the sandy bottom. Iu shallower water the man lias to handle the poli from lower down and tho work is more dillicult because more awkward. Tho i id illustration shows two clam fishermen chugging at low tide.

"How cau you tell," tho reporter asked oue of them when he had comu ashore, when to draw up the rake?" Iiy the sound as tho teeth grit nt the clams. The teeth are pointed it, the finest steel and the sound kind o' travels right up the polo. That's tho sort, v' music we likes to hear." "Is that a fair tho reporter asked, looking into the cbugger's boat, which was abuiit a quarter t'M. Tiiir to iniddlin'. A bi ctcli is about 3.0(11) chims, un' I reckoo there's about 1,500 iu there."

TIIE MAN FOR WHOM STANLEY IS TRAVELING THROUGH AFRICA. Who Emin Pasha Is and Why He Has to Be Sent For. The Interesting History of a Man AVlioso Achievements in Africa Arc Most Kciiiai kable. Therecent unconfirmed and probably baseless rumor of tho death of Henry M. Stanley, now on his way through the interior of Africa to tbe relief of Emin Pasha, will revive the interest of newspaper readers, in the object of his ex pedition.

A dispatch from Zanzibar reports the arrival there of traders with news of Emin Pasha as late as last March. Though still virtually a prisoner it is evident that the plucky explorer $is not allowing me sptmie to lie idle on his hands. When the tra ders left hewasorgan izing an expeditiou to H. M. Stanley.

explore the Kihalt or Kibbi river, which rises in tho Usongora Mountains and flows west through tho Niam Niam country. It is quite possible that ho may meet Stanley's relief party in Usongora, as the last news from Stanley was to the eflect that owing to the scarcity of supplies on the Upper Congo he might probably proceed towards the Albert Nyauza by way of the Arawhihi river. WHO EMIN PASHA IS. Emin Pasha is an Austrian by birth and a doctor by profession. His real mime is Schnitzlcr.

lie entered the Egyptian army iu 1872 aud quickly rose to tbo rank of surgeon major. When iu 1871 the Khedive Ismael sent Chinese Gordon to the Soudan to endeavor to suppress the slave trade, Dr. Schnitzlcr volunteered to accompany him. His offer was accepted and from that day to this ho has never beeu nearer, to civilization than Khartoum. The first few years of his life iu the Soudan were spent in accompanying (Jordon on his journeys ou the White Nile and the Bahr el Uazelle.

Ho soon showed that he was made of the right stull" for tho work of a pioneer in Central Africa. He was entrusted with important missions to Mtesa and Kaha Kcga, he, kings of Uganda and Unyoro. The tact and zeal he displayed on these occasions were duly appreciated and when, in 1H78, Cordon was made Governor General of tho Soudan, he appointed Dr. Schnitzlcr to the important post of Governor of the Equatorial Provinces. At the same tinio the Khedive conferred on him the rank of Bey, and by tho style and title of Emin Bey ho has since been known to the world.

How he has held his post, in spite of attacks on every side, is partially known from tho reports of Dr. Junker, who lately arrived in Europe I 'or a more detailed account of his heroic resistance we must await the issue of the expedition now hastening to bis relief uuder the command of Mr. 11. M. Stanley.

HIS TERRITORY. Tho country given to Dr. Emin to administer lies immediately south of the Balir el Gazelle aud extends to tho borders of Uganda. To the east and west it is practically undefined, tho territorial claims of Egypt to theso parts being very vague. He was ordered to extend his influence when over and wherever an opportunity ottered, and to make treaties with any chiefs who might be willing to acknowledge tho suzerainty of Egypt.

The first three years of his administration were fulf of promise. He established fortified posts from Gondokoro to Wadilai. Taxes were readily paid by the natives for the protection thus allbided, and a brisk trade with Khartoum was opened up. Hitherto the administration of tho Equatorial Provinces hud cost Egypt a year. Al the end of three years Emin Bey had wiped out this deficit and was able to show a surplus of ilS.OOU a year.

Ivory, gum arable, cotton, codec uud fruit of all kinds kept pouring into his head depot at Lardo iu such profusion that tho two steamers running t'rom the Equator to Khartoum wore quite inadequate lor its transport. WAll IN THE SOUDAN. At the close of 18S1 it seemed as though tho riches of Equatorial Africa had at length been brought within the reach of tho marts of Europe. About this time, however, disquieting news reached Emin of a rising iu Par four under Mahomet Achmed (the Mahdi). Dervishes were reported to be preaching a religious waramong the neighboring tribes and a general feeling of uneasiness prevailed.

mill determined to proceed at once to Khartoum und warn the Governor General of the danger of the situation. Ahdel Kadr Pasha, ho bud succeeded Gordon in the supreme command in the Soudan, refused to share in Emiti's apprehensions, lie professed himself quite able to cope with Mahomet Achmed aud said that he was only wailing for some overt act of rebellion in order to proceed against hiin. Emin then asked for permission to proceed to Cairo aud explain the situation to the Khedive. At this time, however, Lower Egypt was little less disturbed than the Soudan. The revolt under Arabi had com menced aud ministers had no time to givo to the moro remote provinces of their country.

Emin was ordered to return to his post and await a more convenient season for the dis cussion of the alliiirs of the Soudan. THE LAST SEES OP EMIN. Accordingly, on June 15, 1882, he loft Khartoum on his return to Lurdo. In hia letters of this date he shows that he W'as full of anxiety for tho future, uu nnxicty since proved to be only too well founded. On his voyage tip the Nile he met with ubiiiiilunt proof that the Mahdi's cause was making headway Willi the tribes.

On all sides the ople were Hocking to his standard nml it was reported that hi Ols id was besieged. So grave was tiie oiii look that ou arriving at Goudokoro he dispatched a Greek ullieer, Mikropulo Bey, bark to Khaiioum With letters urging Ahdel Kadr to take immediate iiclion. This ollicer reached Khartoum early in after much difficulty, as the whole province of Setisnr waa by this time overrun by the rebels. From that time up to the arrival of Ir. Junker in Zanzibar last February nothing had been heard from Dr.

Emin. Native reports of his defeat und death at tho hands of the Mahdi's reached Khartoum in 1885, and they appeared only too likely to be true. Now we know that for the last four jrrara the gallant Austrian and his small force have be ii cngteed in almost incessant warfare. Time after time lie has driven off the rebels from bis small fortified posts, and ho still holds that part of his province adjaccut to the Albert Nyauza. WHY UK CANNOT MOVE.

All lie provinces on tho north are held by the followers of the Mahdi. On the south the way is burred by Mwaiiza, tho hostile King of Uganda, who hss refused him permission to enter bis territory.

PI THEY ARE GOING. A Ninety Mile Bicycle Race Over a Bough Road.

The Twenty Five Mile Bicycle and One and Five Mile Tricycle Championship in England. HE Massachusetts division of the League will have their an nual meet at Cottage City, Martha's Vine yard, August 4, 5 and 6, and anticipate a glorious time. Mar tha's Vineyard is sea parted from the main laud by a reach of ocean less than ten miles in width the Vineyard Sound, through which daily average of more than four hundred vossels pass. Cottage City was for many years a famous camp meeting resort, but within the last lew years it has grown con siderably. The drives and promenades are good and there are many miles of concrete surface, af fording splendid facilities for cycling parades, a feature of tho last day of the meet being the division parade and raeos.

Tho latter will be run at tho Ocean Park track, three laps to tho mile. Tho Massachusetts di vision extends a cordial invitation to cyclers irom Pennsylvania and it is hoped that some of our riders may bo able to spend the three days with them. H. W. Hayes, Chief Consul Massachusetts, and member of the national executive committee, is chairman of the committee of management.

NINETY MILES OVER E0UC1II ROADS, On Sunday, July 11, Percy Stone and Hal Greenwood, two well known St. Louis racers, decided a race to De Soto and return, a distance of ninety miles, over somo of the roughest roads that this rough roaded country cau offer. Tho De Soto road is known everywhere for its bad surface and utterly depraved hills. About twenty miles from St. Louis, directly south, the road enters a range of hills that had better bo called mountains.

Some of these hills are over two miles in length, filled with loose stones, and with ledges of rocks and boulders peep ing through over tho entire course, over which it is no small job for a team to pull an empty wagon. Leaving the Missouri Club House at 5 A. M. the two men started first for Maxville, twenty miles, which Stone readied in one hour and fifteen minutes. Through the hills Greenwood, who was mounted on a Star, gained rapidly, and although at Vic tona, three miles from De Soto, htone was still leading, Greenwood caught him on the next big hili and swept past, heatinghim into De Soto.

Stone was completely used up from his struggle with the long hills and decided to give np, but Greenwood started back over the course and finally reached St. Louis again in eleven hours and forty two minutes, including all stops and an hour rest at De Soto. Stone's performance, so far as it went, was really wonderful that he should, on a crank bicycle, pedal at high speed down every one ot thase vicious hills without a fall or dismount is certainly the greatest feat of tbe year. Stone was mounted on a Victor ordinary light roadster, the "wheel" and towers. Tho H'ieel seems to think that Powers could "make rings around" Brown aud Wilhelm, has beaten Rich squarely and would probably beat Crist, Do Blois, Scbla ger, Kolb or any other man in the country.

If the H'Accf will offer a special prize for a race with these named men in it there are plenty of sporting men hereabouts who will bet twice tho valuo of the prize that Powers cannot pet belter than fourth place. Tho llicycling World inclines to the opinion that at the late meeting of the Pennsylvania Division much comment was indulged in over the absence of tho Oermantown Club, "ono of th most influential in Pennsylvania." As the Gerumntown Club has been practically absent from pretty much all tho events of importance in the last year or so tho comment is doubtless flat tering to that organization. There must be something wrong over in Newark. 1). Rogers agents for the Cunard machines, are missing and creditors are looking for them with much anxiety.

A particularly hard case is that of Julius Andrae, of Milwaukee, who some time ago sent Rogers Co. the cash for a Cunard tandem, which has not as yet materialized uud which, it is sale to say, will not. A OOOD ROADWAY. A good disposition of the cobblo stone paving of Philadelphia is suggested by the manuor iu which the said cobbles are being disposed of out on Mount Vernon street, where tho new paving is being laid, and which, it is hoped, may one day reach to the Park on tho ono side and to Broad street on the other. The stones aro taken up and, as fast as they can be handled, are fed into the hopper of a crushing cuginc, which grinds them up into small pieces, when they are utilized as a foundation for the ccmeut.

This will make a durable, dry uud firm foundation for the roadway, which should add years to its life and the consequent good repute of the contractor, whoever he may bo. What the wheelmen want most of all now is a thoroughfare, suited to their machines, into the heart of the city. Brood street is that thoroughfare, ami every effort should lie made to have it properly paved ut uu ourly date, KNOI.ISII CHAMPIONSHIPS. In England they have just gotten through with their one aud live mile tricycle und twentv flvo milo bicycle championships. Of the five miles the first heat was won by Frank Moore, beating Kiderlen, after riding him very wide at the corners.

The second beat was Won from Taylor aud Lutchfrod by li. J. Mecredy, of Dublin, and the third heat by Walter Terry, of Warstone, from J.

Famed Hack Drivers and Lying Cariosity Peddlers That Remember the Former Days and Swear. Niagara Falls.

July 23. Formerly it required tbo possession of an ample fortune to enable the visitor to this place to see its special points of interest. Even those who could well afford to jay for the luxury were so annoyed and exasperated by tho exactions of hotel keepers, hack drivers, toll gatherers, guides and curiosity venders that all sense of enjoyment was destroyed. Very few people visited this place during the last half century without mentally vowing they would never visit it again, great as wcro its attractions to tho appreciative sightseer. But the reign of toll gates, piratical hack drivers, high priced guides, and lying curiosity venders is at an end.

How completely this great wonder house of nature has been wrested from the grasp of private greed and given to tho public without money or price, one who has been imposed on in former years must make a visit now to realize. Formerly when the visitor stepped from the cars at this place ho was bewildered by tho noise of shouting hack drivers, his view of the falls was obstructed at every point, ho could not turn around iu his tracks without being compelled to pay for the privilege, and the entire population of the place seemed to bo iu league to keep him from seeing anything and to get as much money out of him as possible for the little ho insisted ou seeing. A truthful guide book to the falls would have read as follows: "Fill your pocket with money before you start, pay everybody that asks you for money while your money lasts, and don't expect to seo much or enjoy yourself while you stay." A NEW GUIDE BOOK. A late visitor to the falls publishes a now guide book in the following language When you leave the cars follow the crowd through tho depot to the street turn to your right; follow your nose for about tho distance of three city blocks and yon will be on the State reservation; from that point go where you please, stay as long as you want to, and pay nothing for the privilege." This new order of things was inaugurated July 15, 18S5. The toll gales which had heretofore obstructed the way to every eligible view of the American side were then removed and for two years tho American public has been given a chance to see this greatest known exhibition ot one of nature's wonderful forces without let or hindrance.

At first the public could hardly believe it true that Niagara Falls had been made a free show, and during 1835 tho rush of visitors, while steadily increasing, was not phenomenal. The experience of those who came doubting ami went homo to tell the wonderful news that toll gates were abolished for a fact during the past year had its effect. During the season of lS.sb, covering the months of June to October inclusive, nearly two hmidred thousand people visited the tails on excursion trains. How many came in tho ordinary way will never be known. Up to tlio present the promise is good that the visitors for 1887 will greatly exceed any previous year.

WHAT CAN SEEN. Niagara Falls is a changed place. From Hie brink of the American falls to tho smooth water at tho head of the rapids the view is unobstructed, except by a single pulp mill, which is to be removed. The former visitor who remembers the unsatisfactory and partial vicwof years ago, wonders if he ever saw these rapids before. Formerly the full sw eep of tho water dashing down this declivity of fifty five feet bo fore taking the final plunge over the abyss, sou Id be seen at no point open to the public.

Now the view is as free as the water which dashes madly before the visitor's eyes. There is no more obstruction to tho view of the American rapids than to that of the Canadian rapids from tho outermost of the Three Sisters Islands. The most popular point of view and one which every visitor gets round to at some time during his visit is the parapeted outlook in the falls corner of the park. The approaches to mis corner have been cleared i an nnr Mtruuturoo und caniuges ot any sort are lorbiddeu to stop within the range of visi from it. The new view is from a shaded terrace, taking in upper sections tho American fall and resting on tho great Canadian fall tho distance.

leaning over tins parapet tho visitor may thrust his cane into tho water as it takes its final leap over the precipice. is the visitor's fault if ho does not seo tho upper part of the American rapids, a sight rarely enjoyed in former days. To appreciate the full magnitude of tliomigiitv cata ract one should stand at the head of theso rapids and measure with the eyo tho broad expanse of water which constitutes the river belore it starts ou its swift descent. The reservation extends from a point below the cataract far above the head of tbo rapids to wnere it is comparatively safe to launch a row boat and pull across the river at rialit angles with the shore. Tho ild woods of Goal Island are free to all comers, and the birds and squirrels, extend just as hearty a welcome and seem as little troubled by tho presence of human visitors as when it cost a hull a dollar to cultivate thoir acquaintance.

HOW VISITORS 11EIIAVE. One of the objections urged by interested parties to making this place a public park was that visitors would not appruciato the privilege, but would destroy tho trees, tramp out tho grass and otherwise deport themselves like a lot of destructive ssvuges. Two years' experience bus shown this charge to be utterly unfounded. The two points where injury would be must likely to take place anil win re it would be most noticed by a veteran visitor to Niagara are tho park overlooking tho fall from the mainland und the wild woods of Goat Islaud. lint the park is just as tiily and the grass as fresh and green as lieu it cost a quarter to get a view of it.

Tho paths ou dual Isiuud are beaten a little harder und worn a trillo wider than formerly, but no new paths have buou niudu through the tangled woods, aud tho old one are as clean, cool and restful to the multitude as they were to the chosen few iu the former days who paid a half dollar each lor the privilege of enjoying their shady friendship. No tircarmsaro allowed on treat Island and the birds and squirrels seem entirely unaware of danger from the proximity of the thousands of human visitors who daily throng the place. lioso who have studied tho crowds that visit the falls under the new regime have become convinced that the awe occasioned by tho aiU'Ust presence of the mighty cataract und which lakes complete possession of even the most unimpres sionable visitor Is a greater restraining in liuenco than au army of policemen. The policemen lire there of course a few of them but they never seem to have any thing to do. Tho regular force last year consisted of moo men.

This was increased during the excursion season of July and August to nineteen, hut It was rani taut this small lorce had anything more arduous to du thuu to answer the inquiries of visitors. TIIK CIUSTKNKD HACKUU1 VKR. The piratical hack driver bus not been absolutely bauisbed, but he lias been tamed. He is not allowed to solicit custom on the reservation except at six or seven carriuge itaud. which ro not iu the way of people going from point to point ou foot.

As the nservution vain will carry one all around Hie reservation, including a trip to Goat Island, for twenty five cents the private lack driver has to ho moderate In his charges or go without customers. The sale trinkets is entirely prohibited on the reservation. fot guide taisuar or show cane is io no sceu tviiuiu mo Hue, ami if a seller of views gels across the bonier lie floes so only when Uiero is no reservation Boliotman in sight. Tin old limo photographer who took your oil tun with the fact tf the cataract fur a background or made feu look as If you were tilling in perfect security on lis crest of the rapid, is eon pinions only by bis absence. The amateurs are permitted to set up their cameras ud take bad pil lules to their heart's content, but they must take their pictures away With (hem ami not oiler to sell Hum ou the ground.

The old time nuisances of all toi ls are bunished beyond tho reservation line, whore if visitors get annoyed or defrauded it is Ibelr ewu fault. How that (he view Is 0x and the Way free no one but a cripplo or an invalid should patronise either the private backs er Shrewsbury river. They drive to the river and leave their horses to eat the fresh grass along shore while they wadeover tho muddy bed drawing tubs behind them. The clams here lie deep in the mud. The farmer's feet sink deep into the mud.

When a farmer feels a clam with his foot, he seizes the bivalvo with his toes, raises bis foot high out of water and lets the clam drop into the tub. Of course, Ibis requires some oxpert ness. A less expert clam farmer will stoop over and pick up the clams with his hand. A good many farmers drive over from Eaton town. Each will often get a big tubl'ul of clams.

But they cat all they get. COOL PEOPLE. Some Old and Some 'ew Stories ot TJow Cool They Were. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. There has been much said during the heated term about the isdom of keeping cool.

It was good advice; but it is not every one who can follow it. Junot was so cool when, iu the prosence of Napoleon, tnc cannou ball threw the sand over his letter, that he subsequently came to bo Duke D'Abrantes. Napoleon himself was tolerably cool during the march through Egypt, and it is proved as well as anything can be, that his pulse at the end of the battle of Austerlitz was several beats slower than when he went into it. There was a very cool boy of some twelve years at the Lane Bodley shops a few days ago. He walked in with some playmates to look at tho machinery.

Tapping with his knuckles a quiet buzz saw, he gently remarked I had an old dad ripped to pieces with ono of them the other day." The captain of the Orinoco was cool, when he amused himself by winding np his watch as his sinking boat carried them to the bottom of the sea. Tho "Kid Gloved Brigade" the Gants Gliices wcro very cool. They had been a butt for the ridicule of the whole army because of the foppery of their dress. There was a fort to be carried by assault, and regiment after regiment of picked troops had been driven back, bleeding and decimated, the Kid Gloves mean whilo laughing derisively. Then their turn came.

They took the fort, aud died there. Ten of them lived, but none of the enemy. Thcro was another boy, a Covingtoninn, who was quite cool. His father died last week from sunstroke and after' tho funeral he was observed to be quito solemn. Believ iug his heart bowed down with woight of woe bis mother sought conversation with him.

What are you thinking of, 1 was i ti ill' whether 1 could have dad's fishiu' pole, now." 1'erhaps this was even a trifle less frigid than the performance of Malt Duryea, hanged together with a pal in London. As the two were on the scaffold two wild bulls broke loose from a drove aud wreaked havoc on the edge of the vast crow of sttcctators. "It's mighty lucky, Jim," said Matt, "that we ain't down there." in bis younger days, he lore he lost his hold on good society, the poet Swinburne was once very cool. He was at a garden party at Windsor and strolled off hito the shrubbery with tho young lrincess Beatrice. He talked so sweetly that they stayed long, until searched for by the court ollicers.

Beutricc was overwhelmed with the dancer of disgrace, when he pityingly remarked, It is too bad tluit 1 should have keut vou here alone so long but 1 don't mind pro posing, if that will help you any."
