New YORK CRY, July 2nd., 1916.


Well, here we are, in the heart of the
greatest city this side of the Atlantic, which
may be compared to mammoth bee hive,
and the people to an enormous swarm of
bees. We arrived last evening at half past
nine, and put up at the Howard Hotel on
Broadway. From the window of our room
we can look out upon scene which to
citizen of Washington is truly astonishing.
! have never witnessed before anything like
it. Pennsylvania avenue is quiet street
compared to this. There is no moment
when the eye may not behold new sights,
or the ears be stunned with noise and con-
fusion. Rattle, rattle, rattle buzz, buzz,
buzz; jar, jar, jar; thump, thump, thump;
tramp, tramp, tramp! There is one inces-
SAINT and eternal upstir, which battles all de-
scriplion, and which stranger cannot con
ceive OF. can hardly see the street, for
coaches, hacks, cabs, omnibuses, carts, &C.,
&C.; nor the pavements, for the everlast~


ing and on-coming, and of-going crowds
OF people, AS to retiracy, it is out of the
question if | remain here To run away
from the din and uproar | should have to
leave the city itself.


As to news, it seems after all that your
own takes the lead. The New York pa
pers are filled with items of importance
from Washington, and these seem to be read
with more interest than any thing else.


The Temperance cause has made great
headway in this state, and though there is
still great deal of dissipation here, we be,
lieve the eyes of the people are being open
ed to the necessity of reformation which
under God is to do much for the promotion
of the welfare and happiness of our great
and growing country. have not yet Wis
tied either, the friends whose names have
on my list, or the interesting places of this
city. You will hear from me, however, fire.
quently during the few days we propose to
remain here.


Our Hotel appears to Be in high repute,
but the charges are rather too heavy. We
are willing TO give the same we paid in Bal
tmore and Philadelphia, but cannot consent
to throw money away for the sake Of board
ing awhile Oh Broadway. This we have
told the proprietor and he will probably de-
eide in our favor.

just drank off the poison, when the conduc-

be caution to him in future; and he will
prove himself man of but little sensibility.
