It was a foggy morning and as the fog lifted Jtsolf, one could . otwene the lmpa- ; tient passengers awaiting their ? turn to be inspected o they could go to their respective homes. There was possibly not les than 6.000 steerage passengers on the sit steamers look ing for their first time .upon the statue ot Bartholdl representing, lib erty as she holds in her right hand the torch '.."which 4 welcome to our shores multitudes who have never breathed their first inspiration of that precious emblem.

Here It Is that you will meet every kind of game and device that the Ingenuity i of man can' devise to entrap and sep- j grate the money from the unsophlati- i cated and unwary attendant, many of them amusing as well as being dan gerous to , patronise, -vis: shoot-the- i chute, scenic railways, under-made ' cliffs that are as dark as one imagines 'hades' to be. When ona is ushered front the visions of angels to, places i and recesses occupied by fiery-eyed dragons and ushered Into the pres ence of demons and the angels of de- ' spair and death too hideous - to at tempt of description and at last into the open where one breathes the free air. and light of relief; One of the most amusing things to be observed is known as the "tickler," which con sists of a very large tub with wheels Veneath the' bottom rim. This tub ha a seating capacity of from 8 to 10 persons. It Is conveyed by an end Ins chain to an altitude of two hun dred or more feet and Is turned loose on a -. declivity of one or more hun dred yards with curves and reverse curw that 'shake up the occupants of 'the tab until1 it looks as If it were sot possible for one of them to ex- . 1st.. When the tub is filled with male aind females they tumble over each ' other so promiscuously that one ararcfly knows who he is by the time he vrlke the bottom of the run. , TEUTONIC BETS SAIL. , "On Wednesday, the 18th instant, at .the mli.ute and hour of 10 a. m., the Teutonic, the steamer on which Mrs. Wilder and mysei;. sailed, weighed anchor for Plymouth and Southamp ton, England. As the steamer was btlng towed from her moorings 1 looked upon the dock and saw my good and lifelong friend, Mr. It. M. Jordan, waving his hand and hand kerchief and bidding me farewell It Ws Impossible for me to restrain my fears a the thoughts rushed arrow my mind that It might be perhaps the , last time I would ever see him, for no One -ner knowa the future. Two hours Jrom the time we left the pier we were fading adieu to Bandy Hook, : that strange piece of land that en. circles in lower bay of New Tork a the Jtrsey side. We have a very .light passenger list. There are only 3 Tint-class passengers on board, but among them are several notable personages Mr. J. Plerpont Morgan, Jr., and his family, consisting of wife, son and two. daughters, tutor and two maids in waiting. In the party is a Miss Peabody, daughter of Boston's greatest financier and capitalist. She Is- a blonde, tall, slender and about 11 or 17 years of age. Bhe, I learn, lssthe guest of the Morgnns and will accompany them to their winter home in London. J. Plerpont Mor- fan, Jr., a son of too senior of the wrai wwie, Is a giant In sixe, alx feet two or three inches tall, and looks omewhat like Klouse, the butcher, except he Is taller and has durk hair. H wears a business suit, sack-coat, blue navy cap' yacht shape, and Is an incessant smoker of a short atom pipe and paes most of hi time aboard . readltig when he is not walking the promenade deck w;lth Mrs. Morgan.

Csnfon Will Celebrate the Night With ft Big Dance and Minstrel Show Injured toy Falling Plpe FltUngt Special to The Observer. t , ; Canton, Oct. . -A mass meeting of the Champion Fibre Company's employe was held last night for the purpose , of s. deciding the style ; of smusements to take place Hallowe'en Night It was thought best to give another minstrel composed of local talent, such as war so iSuVcpssfully given last Labor Day. The minstrel Is to be followed by a dsnce, which It Is ' proposed to make the biggest and beat ever given here. Mr. Eu gene Hyde, of Ashevllle, was ap pointed director of the minstrel, and Mr. Jack Wants, of Hamilton, O., manager of the 1 ball. In order to give the men some form of amusement the Fibre Com pany here is encouraging the organi zation of a football team among Its employes. Coach Jackson, of the Asheville school, la In charge of the candidates for the team and reports the outlook to be very promising In deed. There are many former col lege stars among the men, and It Is very likely that a team will' be put our able to clean up anything in this part of the State. Mr. Andy McClure, of Wayncsvllle, was painfully Injured here Tuesday evening by a heavy pipe-fitting fall ing on his foot. He was given lm-' mediate medltal attention and is now 'rtsflhjf well. - r - - -- NOTHIXO FROM PRESIDENT.

Not since early morning have anv tldlnsrs been received from the Presidents hunting camp, ana that was confined to a mere statement that preparations had been made for a busy day. The best local Judges of the conditions express their opinion that the day must have been one of activity if not of results. The rain has left a faultless sky anj the tem perature is all that could be desired, neither too hot nor too cool. These circumstances, taken with the goftened. condition of the ground, which Is in the interest of the Jogs, the residents say, should make it possible for a party who go well equipped to get a near u mere is one in tne osyou Tensas.

I no longer felt like a fool on a fool's, errand, for there were among my misgivings on starting out on such a dark, rainy occasion. . - Lamps shone ever fair wowm and brave m&n, and the grace and ieiuty of three of best mill towns in North Carolina were in evidence. By way of digression, allow me to say that part of outside world that lieth in darkness Imagines that the people ot Cllffslde' wear coon-skin caps, leather breeches: and that ono member of family holds a pine torch while the rest shovel down hog Jawl, turnip groena and sassafras tea. No. no, dearly beloved, -j benighted and unconverted friends; we have standard guage railroads, a gasoline boat and run "klvered" cars on railway. We even have twelve electric lights In bur school house. Getting back to opening, the hunt ing hot-house plants, the flying streamers, Japanese lanterns, and taxty hats, bonnets, etc., worth seeing. Besides the fair aex, many ;of whom were lovely as a poet's dream, there were dudes. Jays, lawyers, doctors. scribes, school teachers, weather prophets and calamity howlers. As I wear hand-me-downs and shoes like thofe of a hobo, the question was ask ed; "Is Corn Cracker among the weath er prophets?" Verily I was among these and the calamity howlers, and our clay pples sent forth a mot atro cious fragrance. Thereupon, a dlciple st the healing art, who halls from Cllffslde, wears tailor-made raiment and drives blue grass horses, called me out and thus accosted me: "Ancient and 'onsry' pilgrim, I know that you write for Observer, the paper by which 1 swear, and which Is my political guide and rule ot action. "Why do you consort with hill billies, wear such clothes, and smoke such a vile and disreputable pipe? If you could get your ungodly htcf Into my shoes I'd lend you a pair; but 12 Into 7 won't go. At least quit smoking that pestilence breeking pipe, and here Is a twenty-five icent cigar. You look like a dismounted and dis mantled Santa Claus and smell like an Italian organ grinder that has been eating garlic to destroy the scent Of onions on his breath." I gratefully took his fragrant Havana, and traded . it for IS eheroots. Later, about 11 p. m. the band played ."Sewanee River," and the crowd began to disperse, , The man who trought;ro over aa'ljt was nearer - home by Caroleen than the way we - came. It was four mile further, but he wanted to "gallivant" a damsel who must have rswnibled Col. Watterson's star-eyed goddess ' ot re form.: .

He halted . before the temple of ,a justice ot tho . peace who . was snoring the snore ot the Just.
