Mrs. Elizabeth Robins Pennell] con- tributes ta The Century an article on “Play In London.’’ After speaking of Vauxhall Gardens and Cremorne Mre. Pennell says: Everybody knows what the old gar- den was like—Thackeray has seen to that—with the hundred thousand lamns always lighted, the fiddlers who made ravishing the singers, the cancers, the Mrae. Saquis on the slack rope ascending to the stars, the hermit iv the illuminated hermitage, the dark melodies, walks so favorable to lovers, the pots of stout, the dinners and suppers—in a word, the sort of combination of cafe, music hall, restaurant and Fourth of July that nowhere else has been brought to such perfection; that to Sir Roger had seemed long before Thackeray’s day ‘‘a kindof Mohammedan paradise. ”’ But what everybody does not know so well is that London still has its garden, called by another name, to be sure, ig- nored by Murray and Baedeker and offer- ing another programme, Mme. Saqvis and hermits gone from it apparently forevermore, but precisely the same in principle and practice. Vauxhall has vanished; sends up no more rockets skyward to fill the night with beauty; the Crystal palace is only for the suburb and the country consin, but every summer Earl’s court has its exhibition—an ex- hibition only by courtesy, only out of deference to the present fashion of gath- ering our knowledge or pretending to while we play. One year it was called Italian, and there were macaroni and chianti in the restaurants, and a nice new pasteboard forum. Another year it was German, and the air was heavy with the fragrance of schnitzel and wurst, Then it was American, for a change, and cowboys and red Indians swaggered across the scene, and soda water and maple sugar figured on the menu. Now it happens to be Indian, with a fine oriental flavor, but by the time this is published it will be some- thing else, and it really matters very little. The exhibition, attributed to any nation, would be as gay. Nobody cares Save, perbaps, a few tradesmen and mummers, who smell the commercial battle from afar. It is an open secret that the semblance of a show is there merely to court avoidance. The years in passing have turned it intoa big bazaar, but not even in this guise can it prove the chief attraction. No; the great thing, the only thing, that counts isthe garden, where one may walk uncer pleasant trees; where Cremorne ‘one may ape the continental and drink tea or coffee at little tables—but most- by tea, in capacious pots—to the accom- |paniment of thick slabs of cake; where ‘Gne may be still more un-English and eat.one’s dinner outdoors—not like a wild beast in a cage, as in the old “**box’’? at Vauxhall, but in company, ‘on. low, broad veranda, where there ‘are side shows more diverting than Pepys ever dreamed of; where one may loaf away the summer evening, listen- ing to music which is at least as good asthe honest Briton likes it. For the ‘truth is the garden furnishes just that ‘form.of amusement which Mr. Henry James has lamented was not to be found in London, and so long as it is open one need not, as he thought, “‘give up the ideaof going to sit somewhere in the.open air, to eat an ice and listen to a band. of music.’’ Only the amusement must be shared with so big a crowd that one will have to scramble for a chair, engage a dinner table full 12 hours ‘beforehand, and struggle to get home ‘by underground or bus as furi- ously as the mob fights to push into the pit of a popular theater. ‘ To provide the Englishman with a erowd, to give him the chance to use bis elbows, is:‘to convince him that he is enjoying himself. And the old gar- dens questionable features, its revelers, its jockeys and courtesans and gam- blers—where are they? Where are the snows ef yesteryear? All gone with cther times amd other morals. The world of Earl’s court and Kensington hes token the exhibition under its pro- tection, and there sits in stately sp!cn- der a magnificent example of respocta- bility, withiy an inelosure humorously called the Welcome club, because ad- mission is refused to aj] but the elect. Where the west end coudescends to spend its afternoons and evenings there surely every one may venture In safe ty by night as by day. Indeed there is,a strong domestic element about the ex- hibition. It is a place for the family, a sinygzzcund for the decorous.

Agent a te a a DEATH ON THE TRAIN. -_ OF THIRTY-NINE WHO MET IT AT THE STATION ONLY ONE SURVIVED. An Immigrant Woman and Her Two Chil- dren Carried Desolation to a Pennsyl- vania Town — The Cholera Epidemic of 852 $52 and Its Victims, “‘A generation or so ago the arrival of a Piilroad train at rural stations wasa thing of much greater rarity than it is today,’’ said a Pennsylvania railroad employee, ‘and if was invariably greeted by the yuthering at the station of almost the en- tire population. One morning in the sum- mer of 1852 Iwas one of a group of 39 just such curious folk, mostly men—but there were three or four women—who were gathered at the railroad station at Colum- bia, Pa., awaiting the coming of the im- migrant train trom Philadelphia, which was due at 6a. m. The train came in as usual, and three weeks from that day ev- ery one of that group of 89 persons was jiead and buricd except myself. ‘The con- ductor of the train helped from it at Col- umbia a women with two small children. The woman was a German immigrant, and both she and her children had been taken very illon the train, and the con- ductor had deemed it best to leave her at Columbia for medical treatinent, ‘““Velegraphic communication was not yet established there with the outside world, and daily newspapers were a rarity. Cholera had been raging at the seaboard vitics, but the extent of the calamity or its possible spread through the country was not appreciated in the rural districts. The suffering woman and her children were helped by sympathetic hands to a small frame building near by, and some one ran fora doctor. It was some time before the doetor came, and in the interval every one in that crowd had come in contact with the suffering immigrants in efforts to help their intense suffering. The doctor arrived at last, but the mother of the children had become worse so rapidly that she was in the threes of death. The doctor had no sSuvner seen her face than he turned where he stood and waving his hands frantically toward the crowd exclaimed: ‘**Cholera! My God, cholera!’ “Instantly we fled. I remember that I found myself hiding behind a pile ef lum- ber a long way from the station. I was in those days a clerk in a store at Columbia. I was only a young chap, but I had sense enough to say to myself that if I was doomed to the cholera it would be just as well for me to remain in Columbia as to go elsewhere, and so I staid, but when the awful news spread—the two children of the German woman having died not long after she died—people began leaving Co- lumbia pell:neli to escape the dreaded con- sequences of that accidental infection. This frantic exodus lasted but a day, how- ever, for the people of the outlying country placed on the people of Columbia what was perhaps the most effective quarantine that was ever placed on any people in this or any other country. They stationed cer- dons of armed guards all about Columbia, with instructions to shoot down any per- son who attempted to pass from that in- fected place to neighboring towns. Befcre this had been done, though, many of Co- lumbia’s residents had fled to York, Har risburg and other towns, apd, as the re sult proved, infected those places. ‘‘Within three days after the death ot the Germuan woman and her children chol- eta had possession of the town. It was the custom then in Pennsylvania rural towns when a person died for the sexton of some church to toll the bell a stroke for each year that the decedent had lived, and the cholera epideinic was soon such in Co- luwwbia that the tolling of the church bells became continuous. ‘The deaths were so numerous that for three weeks, day or night, there was not a minute when the church bells were not tolling. Some one had suggested early in this awful time that the burning of soft coal and pitch in the streets would so purify the air that the result would be the staying of the spread of the pestilence. We had no anthracite coal then, and soft coal and pitch were heaped at every street corner and fired. Zhe heavy black smoke from these fires rose and hung over the place for weeks like a pall Whether it did any good or not I can’t say, but I know that it added to the gloom of the scenes we had to wiét- ness daily. ‘I said that out of the 389 people who met that emigrant train on that beautiful summer morning only myself survived, but I did not say that I helped in the burial of every one of them, among them my brother and my father. Deaths were so frequent that we all became hardened. Instead of fright an utter disregard of the value of life governed every one. I met ane day the man I was working for. ** *How are you?’ he said. ** “All right thus far,’ I replied. *‘One hour Jater I helped lower his body into a trench. An old darky was the gravedigger of the village, and when the Gemancds on him became so great and no one scemed willing to share the task with him he was by common consent permitted to charge $10 for every body interred. He worked day and night, and when, monthe afterward, his services were paid fer his widow received $2,000. Had the old man lived through it all he might have received more than twice that sum, but he died of cholera in the midst of it all, and he was buried inatrench he himself had dug.; In one day we buried 180 victims of the scourge. Idon’t believe there is another place in this country, considering its sit- uation in the most healthful region that can be imagined, that ever was the victim of such a pestilential visitation as that. More than 809 persons died.’’—New York Kun. NOTICE. Anybody caught fishing trout in Sherry’s Creek after this date, July 30th, will be prosecuted accurding to law, as the place has been reserved. F.
