"Grizzly Returns
Visits a Typical
L
"LONDON, Oct. A. I have been spending 1
-r Hove ? ti -nuntrv. and, of course,
when' you visit people, they command
the most of your time. The most affable
of all my fellow-passengers on me inp
over from Canada was Captain Alfred
Torrens, a retired officer of the British
Army, who "comes from a good, old fight
ing stock. Tis father. General Robert
Torrens, was Wellington's Chief Quarter
master at Quatre Bras and Waterloo.
Captain Torrens lives about 20 miles
hence, at a pretty little village called
Hayes, in Kent. It lies about three miles
from Bromley Station, on the Dover &.
Chatham road, and was the residence of
the famous "William Pitt, after rds
Lord Chatham. Captain Torrens took us
for a drive through the Earl of Derby's
park; and then, arriving at a wicket
gate, told the coachman to drive around
the hill and meet us at Keston Church.
With my wife walking between us, we en
tered one of the most lordly oak groves
that ever greeted the eye of man. At
last we came to as curious an arborlcul
tural freak as I ever heard of the trunk
of a yew tree interlaced with that of an
oak, till it had become practically one
tree. Just beyond It was the famous
"Pitt's oak," a tree evidently 1000
years old, at least. Across the path is
a bench hewn out of granite, bearing
an inscription to the effect thatit was
here that Wilberforce had first confided
to Pitt his scheme of legislation for the
total abolishment of the slave traffic.
All was silence, save when a blackbird,
with rich and mellow note, carolled his
farewell to the fast-departing Summer.
The two master-minds of the ISth cen
tury had pissed onward and upward
to the love of God and the approval of
generations yet unborn; and the Sabbath
like peace which reigns here was a fit
ting sequel to their grand and storm
tossed lives.
Ten minutes later brought us to the
portals of a gray and hoary old house
of worship. Keston Church, built in the
17th century. The churchyard runs
up into a narrow point at its southwest
corner, and the first gravestone on which
my eye fell was a modest one of Port
land "granite under which sleeps the
gifted authoress of "John Halifax, Gen
tleman." "Ah, but she was a dear old soul," said
Captain Torrens, "and beloved by all
the country about here. If ever a true
Christian woman died in England, she
was that one. So sincere and free from
affectation, too. She lived in thit brick
house over to the left that you can just
see the roof of through the chestnut
trees. The dear old heart had a kindly
word for everybody and every dog In
the neighborhood seemed to know her."
About her lonely tomb were scattered
the resting places of "the rude forefathers
of the hamlet," bome of their graves bear
ing date as far back as 1GS0. I lifted my
hat in silence and thought of how the de
scendants of these quiet old souls, and
others like them, had annihilated space
wiui telegraph, railroad and steamship,
until all over the world the thoughts of
millions had become as the thought of
one man.
A Typical English. Home.
The carriage then took us up, and 10
minutes later Mrs. Torrens met us at
the port-cochere of Baston Manor, an old
house, built in 1743, but still handsome in
spite of its patriarchal years, for it had
been a typical English home long before
Washington accompanied Braddock to
Fort Duquesne. There was an air of
repose about this old house that I cannot
describe, as the mellow Autumn sunlight
came glinting into the drawing-room
windows, and
"Within the sober realm ot leafless trees
The russet year Inhaled the dreamy air.
The bell ring for luncheon, and we sat
down to grouse from the Scottish moors
and trout from the Darrent, washed down
with fcome famous old port that had been
vlnted before "the tawny mound of the
Alalakoff had ever belched forth its thun
der upon the allied troops In the trenches
of SebastopoL"
The generous repast dispatched, we sal
lied forth into a garden with several
greenhouses, one of which was full of
muscat grapes, all grown from a single
vine planted at one end of the conserva
tors', and its shoots trained -upward at
intervals of six feet. Another hothouse
showed how they cultivate tomatoes in
this country, as well as Indian corn, for
they will not ripen in the open air. But
these good people equal us in the cultiva
tion of squashes and beat us all hollow
In the production of cauliflowers and
mushrooms.
In one corner of the Captain's "den,"
as he called it, were old military relics,
the dearest-prized of which was the
Waterloo medal bestowed by the hand of
George TV himself; the Russian cross of
St. Ann, and his medal as commander of
the Bath. There was no lack of elegant
plate in the old house, but these were
treasures the value of which no assessor
could adequately compute; rare 'flowers
that had grown from out the dust of
empii es.
The afternoon wore along and at 5
we entered our host's pretty little
brougham and were driven through the
pretty Uttle village of Hayes, past the
mansion where the great Pitt dwelt dur
ing his lifetime, once more to Bromley
station. The northbound train came
dashing along and a kindly old face
beamed and smiled as the hand that had
laid aside the sword forever waved us its
heartfelt and cheery adieu.
Don't tell me that London Is England.
The real England, Is In her country homes,
the abodes of men who love the ground
on which they played as children. The
beauty of English manhood lies in what
I call the patriotism of private life. If
you find a man in California who is worth
$100,000. his wife not only wants to live
in San Francisco, but insists on boarding
at the Palace HoteL Here the man of
means goes up to London for a few weeks
while Parliament is in session, but the
dearest spot on earth to him Is under the
oaks where his grandparents sheltered
themselves from the rays of the noonday
sun. Hie daily life echoes the sentiment
of the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,
when he wrote:
I love the memories of the past.
Its pressed but fragrant flowers;
The moss that to its ruins dins'.
The ivy on its towers.
Home is an English word, and no other
language of earth contains a word half
as sweet or half as dear to the heart, for
home Is a heart-word and brings to the
lips that speak it all that is lovable or
gentle in our natures.
In London. Again.
London is a city chiefly "notable for Its
size. Its buildings are all on the massive
order without that indescribable grace
in architecture that so readily impresses
you in Paris. Prom daylight to midnight
the same roar of passing travel is heard.
They talk about the badly congested state
of travel on Broadway in New York, but
you can find a dozen streets in this city
which are just about in similar condi
tion. Fortunately there are policemen on
every block, and all vehicles are com
pelled to keep to the left. This brings
some, order out of the chaos, which would
otherwise prevail.
They are paving all the streets in the
Westminster municipality with blocks of
red gum (eucalyptus) "brought from Australia-:
and they have had already such
experience with fhem as warrants the
belief that red gum will replace asphaltum
and Belgium pavement all over London
at no very distant day. When will Port
land fall into line and lay down, gum
blocks? The streets are kept wonderfully
clean, but they have the most pliocene,
not to say asinine, way of numbering the
and London.
to tKe Island Kingdom-
English. Country Home.
houses that ever you saw. They begin
on one side and number consecutively
till they reach the end ot the street; and
men they go back on the other side, so
that in Fleet street (which is a continua
tion of the Strand) No. 46 is directly
across from No. 1G3. That Is the way their
forefathers began, and they are too con
servative to make any change.
Their hotels and restaurants s'et the
same bill of fare every day. Wherever
they have a table d hote there is no vari
ation, as in France or Switzerland. You
go to any one of the four best restau
rants in San Francisco and pay 51 for
a dinner that includes some black coffee
and chejese. Here they charge you from
4 to 7 shillings per head for dinner and
wine, cheese and black coffee, not being
on your bill of fare, are charged extra. As
for breakfast, it is even worse, for the
only kind of porridge they serve is oat
meal. I don't suppose they ever heard
of cream of wheat, malzalene or rice
flakes In this good but benighted coun
try. Their metropolitan railway systems are
superb. The underground road parallels
the river bank for eight miles, and you
can go the whole distance for 2 pence.
Then there is a road somewhat deeper
underground, known as "the tupenny
tube" that runs from the river bank out
to Shepherd's Bush, a trifle over 10 miles.
It is an electric road, the entire conduit
being covered with white tiles and bril
liantly lighted. The cars ure propelled by
an electric motor, which hauls from 10
to 14 cars; and at Tottenham Court sta
tion you can go down 115 feet on an ele
vator before reaching the platform. The
cars are elegantly furnished and have
gates similar to those on the elevated?
roads of New York,
The omnibuses are legion, and run in
every direction. The other day my wife
and I rode from Ffbet street and Ludgate
Hill Into Whltechapel. and thence to
Blackwall, where we alighted and took
another 'bus through the tunnel that runs
under the Thames. On reaching the Sur
rey side of the river we took a tramcar
which brought us up U miles to the West
minster Bridge, where we got another
'bus that brought us to our hotel- In Char
ing Cross. The total cost of this ride
was 34 cents, and we enjoyed every foot
of the ride except that portion which
lay through Whltechapel, where you
could see as much squalor and misery
as ever was crowded anywhere into the
same space. Every other man you saw
was either a Bill Sikes "or an "Artful
Dodger," with an occasional Fagin squat
ted in front of his pawnshop. Fortunate
ly the bus was never stopped In this part
of the journey, and we were soon happily
rid of It.
The theaters here don't know how to
charge at all. At the Shaftesbury, Drury
Lane, Covent Garden and Daly's the
prices are $2 75 for orchestra seats and
52 in the dress circle. At the Lyceum,
Garrlck, Duke of York and Princess, the
prices are ?2 50 for orchestra seats (they
call them stalls here), and $1 75 for dress
circle. They have the finest show here
at the Hippodrome that I ever saw, wind
ing up with a hunting piece In three acts,
called "Tally ho." In the last act the
ring Is flooded to a depth of seven feet,
and all the entire hunt gets a cold bath
before they are through with it. I never
laughed as hard in all my life as when
the old woman with the donkey cart
went into it, and she jumped overboard
and swam ashore.
The Tover of London Is a sight not
readily to be forgotten by anyone who
visits Its gloomy corridors and vast ar
mories. We also saw the crown jewels,
some of which were simply magnificent.
It is said that King Edward, shortly af
ter his accession last February, "took a
day off" with a diamond expert, who
found that many valuable stones had
been removed and clever imitations sub
stituted. This is supposed to have been
done in the reign of George the Fourth,
who was always getting into debt, and
it fully explains his defunct majesty's
'way of "robbing Peter to pay Paul." In
the chambers where the Earl of Essex,
Lady Jane Grey and Lord Gullforfi Dud
ley were confined the locks are sealed
and nobody has been admitted for years.
These are pages of English history that
royalty of the present day would too
gladly efface
My most delightful ride about Lon
don has been the tallyho drive hence to
Kew, Twickenham Ferry, Leddlngton,
Busby Park and Hampton Court It
certainly was an odd sight to look upon
the battlements of old Hampton Court,
with its memories of Wolseley and Queen
Katherlne, and to see flying from every
tower the flags of England and America,
each at half-mast You began to realize
what Whlttler meant In his Atlantic ca
ble song of 1S66, when he write:
"What salth the herald of the Lord?
The world's long work Is done
Close-wedded by one mystic cord,
Earth's continents are one.
And on In heart as one In thought.
Shall all her peoples be;
The hands of human brotherhood
Are clasped beneath the sea.
Well, it is 4 o'clock, and I am erettins-
Mmpatient for my afternoon walk. This
cool climate is very conducive to ex
ercise and I have reduced my weight by
eight pounds in the last Ave weeks.
But there is plenty left yet and I am not
yet so emaciated as to be mistaken for the
late Senator Evarts, of New York. I
realize what the poets mean when they
talk about the "weight of accumulating
years." GRIZZLY.
EASTERN MULTNOMAH.
Greshaiu Merchants Ursre That the
To-ivn Be Incorporated.
GRESHAM, Oct 17. Since the fire,
which destroyed the best business portion
of this place, the subject of incorporation
has been seriously discussed. There was
some talk of forming a municipal gov
ernment over a year ago, but the talk
ended in nothing being done. Now every
one interested 19 sorry that the place'was
not Incorporated long ago. A leading
merchant, who was one of the Are vic
tims, says that Gresham should be mads
a city as speedily as possible, because
without a government there is no pro
tection against fire, and the place needs
such protection. Under existing circum
stances it is Impossible to equip and main
tain a fire company or to employ a night
watchman, even. No definite measures
have been undertaken yet looking to in
corporation of the place, .but it Is quite
probable that something will be done to
protect the property of the town when the
burned stores are rebuilt Gresham Is
steadily growing In population and Its
volume of business will Increase every
year. There Is scarcely ever a vacant
house in the place and protection is
needed.
Time Card Changed.
In order to accommodate more satisfac
torily the .people of Falrview, 'the O. R.
& N. Co. has made a change in the sched
ule of four trains which pass that place
daily. The stopping of trains No. 3,
west bound, at "7:30 A M., and No. 6,
east hound, at 9:37 P. M., has been dis
continued, and trains No. 5, going west at
6:30 A M., and No. 4, east bound, at 6:30
P. M., will stop instead. A 10-cent fare
to Portland has also been granted for
children attending schools there, commu
tation tickets for them having been placed
on sale with the agent there. The change
in service is a great convenience to every
one, as it permits a visit to the city and
return during daylight
Scarcity of Cars.
The tie yards at Troutdale are com
pletely filled with railroad ties and prod
ucts from the few mills now in operation
go to Falrview. Room at the latter
place is almost unlimited, but space near
the railroad switch will soon be at a pre
mium. The congestion Is caused by the
scarcity of cars, which are otherwise en
gaged. About 250,000 ties are now stacked
in the two yards, and more are coming.
Only five mills are running now that send
ties to the railroad by teams, but It is
expected the others will start up in about
a month. Three mills beyond the Sandy
are cutting and will float their ties .down
next season during high water.
Worlc About Completed.
Operations at the Sandy to protect the
two bridges there are about completed.
The mats designed to prevent undermin
ing of the revetment and subsequent
washing away of the banks have all been
sunk In their places and weighted dowm
with many tons of large rocks, taken
from the river bed above. These rocks
were taken from the river bed with a
view to divert the water and thus form a
new channel on the other elde of the
river. It 19 hoped "that the current will
thus be kept away from the revetment
and bridge piers, which have been -in
such danger of being undermined. The
work has taken nearly three months and
the employment of a dozen men con
stantly. The cost has been considerable,
but was partially borne by Clackamas
County, as the wagon bridge was In as
much danger as that on which the pipe
line crosses the river. It is now thought
that the permanent safety of the two
structures Is assured.
Brief "Soten. .
Potato harvesting is now under full
headway, but the yield Is disappointing.
Not more than half an average crop will
be had this year, of which a large per
centage has already been sold and sent
away. Six carloads were shipped from
Falrview during the past week.
Miss Cornelia Failing, the new teacher
at Rockwood, has resigned after one week.
She was offered a better position In
Portland. Her successsor is Miss Fllnn,
who took charge last Monday.
Rev. J. F. Naugle and family were ten
dered a reception at the Methodist par
sonage on Monday evening last. Mr.
Naugle preached his first sermon here on
Sunday last. He is already very popular
with the people here.
J. P. Freeman Is building a new resi
dence near here which will cost about
?600 when completed.
The new bridge building at this place to
replace the one destroyed by Are will be
100 feet long and 60 feet wide, including
10-foot sidewalks on either side. The work
Is in charge of Supervisor Cleveland, with
Thomas Owens as foreman.
About SO panes of window glass were
broken In John Metzger's building during
the recent Are. They were of large size
and expensive. Workmen are now re
placing them, the insurance company hav
ing adjusted the loss.
Postofflce Inspector Flavin is making a
tour bf the postoffices along the Sandy
stage route and its branches. He will
visit about 20 offices on the trip.
THE MAGAZINES.
President McKlnley's assassination and
Mr. Roosevelt's accession to the Presi
dency are the two dominant topics in the
October Review of Reviews. Aside from
thp editorial treatment of these moment
ous events, a fully illustrated account of
the last days of President McKlnley Is
contributed by Walter Wellman, the ac
complished newspaper correspondent, who
was himself at Buffalo and writes from
personal, first-hand knowledge of all the
details of the tragedy. Mr. Wellman's
comprehensive article is followed by a
brief characterization of the last of our
great trio of martyr Presidents, from the
pen of Commissioner H. B. F. Macfarland,
of the District 'of Columbia; there is also
an article on President Roosevelt, with
portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt and
the six Roosevelt children. The Review
presents the full text of Mr. McKlnley's
Buffalo speech, made on the day before
the shooting, and of Mr. Roosevelt's Min
neapolis address of September 2.
Aside from being a publishers' an
nouncement number and containing co
pious lists of forthcoming books, the Oc
tober Critic maintains Its interest in the
purely esthetic side of letters and art.
From a pictorial standpoint, TIghe Hop
kins' paper on "The Tauchnltz Edition"
Is easily the feature of the current num
ber. Illustrated by portraits of Baron
Tauchnltz, Sr and Baron Tauchnitz, Jr.,
with views of their residences and of the
plant, and enlivened with such literary
and biographical material apropos of the
German publishers and the English and
American authors with whom they have
and dealings, the article is in every re
spect noteworthy.
Professor W. A' Dunning, of Columbia,
opens the October Atlantic with the last
of the "Reconstruction series of articles,
a. trenchant paper on "The Undoing of
Reconstruction," which is prefaced by an
instructive editorial on "Reconstruction
and Disfranchisement," summing up the
purpose and purport of this valuable set
of papers. Their cumulative weight can
be realized only by reading and comparing
together as a whole this remarkable se
ries, which has never yet been' excelled
In political value and critical Instructlve
ness. R. R- Bowker, in "The Piracy of a
Franchise Corporation," shows how by
"political pull" in New York; even the
strongest corporation may be ruined and
swallowed up, if it strives to be too hon
est and takes too little heed of "practical
politics."
The Engineering Magazine opens Its Oc
tober Issue with a strikingly clear analy
sis and solution of the rapid transit prob
lem In London, by Frank J, Sprague.
He shows convincingly that the condi
tions can be met completely by a radical
application of electricity, on a network
of lines developed on a well-matured plan
and under single management Fares
should be made uniform, and exchanges
free or limited only by two zones. More
important, the system adopted should be
elastic enough to permit the running of
small units or combined trains.
No man In America today is more In
the public eye than J. Plerpont Morgan.
In recognition of this fact the October
number of McClure's Magazine opens with
a sketch of Mr. Morgan, carefully pre
pared by Ray Stannard Baker, author of
the character sketches of Roosevelt,
Sampson and Wood. The article is con
cise and dignified, and is, according to
a friend of Mr. Morgan's, "the best and
most complete presentation of a great
subject." The Illustrations are from
original drawings by W. R. Leigh, George
"Varian, Otto Bacher and A. Machefert,
and from photographs. Of almost equal
Importance Is Josiah Flynt's "The Tam
many Commandment." At this time,
when fresh revelations of the protection
of vice in New York City are being made
continually, and when (the campaign for
the overthrow of Tammany Is in full
swing, Mr. Flynt's startling expose Is par
ticularly timely.
It was announced several months ago
that the editor of the Ladles' Home
Journal contemplated making sweeping
changes in his editorial staff. Up to the
present time ten new editors have been
added to Mr. Bok's corps, and 15 new de
partments planned for the Journal, a ma
jority of which make their initial appear
once in the October number.
The first article in the October number
of the Ledger Monthly Is entitled "Mar
rying in America," an Interesting article
on marriage customs and the legal re
quirements in the different states of the
Union, with numerous illustrations and
many Valuable suggestions to those con
templating matrimony. A page Is devot
ed to pictures of Adirondack camps, giv
ing the exterior and interior of several
noted camps and lodges in the Adiron
dack wilderness.
The October number of the Woman's
Home -Companion Is of particular interest
to women. Mrs. Lamed, the noted writer
on fine cookery, contributes an article on
"Modern Savories In Antique Settings."
Mrs. Kretschmar writes about "Serv
ants." Sallle Joy White and Mary Gra
ham talk about matters pertaining to the
household. There are five pages devoted
to Fall fashions. The great Cincinnati
Fall Festival is the subject of an illus
trated article.
Features of the October" number of Har
per's Magazine are: "The Royal Tomba
at'Abydos: An Account of Recent Dis
coveries." by W.' M. Fllnders-Petrle;
"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland:
From an Artist's Standpoint," by Peter
Newell; "The New Psychology," by G.
Stanley Hall; "Glimpses of the Great
Plateau," T. Mitchell Prudden.
Theodore Roosevelt contributes to the
October Scrlbner's the first of two hunt
ing articles in that spirited manner which
makes "The Wilderness Hunter" one of
the best outdoor books ever written.
These articles, called "With the Cougar
Hounds," describes his adventures while
hunting the mountain lion last Winter in
Colorado. The pack of intelligent hounds
who chase the prey are the heroes of
the story "in which the individuality of
the dogs is delightfully portrayed by Col
onel Roosevelt. He also in his first article
has gathered many new facts and infer
ences in regard to the nature of the cou
gar which Is much in dispute. The article
is therefore a contribution to natural his
tory. The Illustrations are from a col
lection by Colonel Roosevelt's companion
in the. hunt, Philip K. Stewart, who sue-,
ceeded in taking cougar and wild cats
near at hand In the trees, with the dogs
climbing after them; also the death tus
sle with the hounds.
Probably the most Interesting article in
the September number of The Popular
Science Monthly is Professor Ramsay's
description ot the inert constituents of
the atmosphere. It will be remembered
that Professor Ramsay In conjunction
with Lord Raylelgh discovered several
years ago a new element, argon, of which
ordinary air contains about one part in
a hundred. He later discovered other
elements In the atmosphere neon, helium,
crypton and xenon. The discovery of
these elements Is one of the half dozen
great advances of recent science, and
Professor Ramsay here describes for the
first time in clear language the methods
by which they were isolated and their
curious properties.
"William McKlnley" Is appropriately
the subject of the leading article in the
October Forum. It is a brilliant char
acter sketch by Henry Litchfield West,
whose work as a leading 'journalist at
Washington brought him frequently into.
contact with the deceased President. Rep
resentative Henry Sherman Boutell con
tributes an instructive and interesting ac
count of "Our National Debt; Its Origin,
History and Peculiarities." A. Maurice
Low discusses the relation of "Labor and
the Law in England," with special ref
erence to the significant decision of the
House ot Lords In a recent case'. Dr.
P. M. Foshay pleads for public support
to the movement for "The Organization
of the Medical Profession." An account
of "The Colonization of Siberia," by R.
E. C. Long. Is followed by a forecast
of 4The South Africa of Tomorrow," by
Albert G. Robinson.
The Complete Novel published In Oc
tober strikes a different key from those
recently presented by Lippincott's. Not
withstanding the title, "The Anvil" Is
"Frenchy." The author is R. "V. Rlsley,
of New York, a writer who excels in
picturing the human emotions. A Ger
man philosopher, like Faust of old. Is
