What Vanderbilt's Millions Have Done —The Work of a Genuine Philanthropist, The Biltmore estate, which furnished one of the main incidents of the President's recent trip to the south, is about two miles from the city of Asheville, N. C. It ts in the mountains which make Asheville 80 noted as a summer resort. The state be- longs to George Vanderbilt, and contains 7,000 acres. More than half of this is in beautiful woodlands, the remainder in a high state of cultivation. It is impossible to state how much money has been spent on the estate from be- ginning to end, but it is somewhere be- tween $7,000,000 and $10,000,000, with no end yet to the amount of money it will cost the young millionaire. Every day he is spending money on It, and seems to pay no attention to what goes out. When he gets everything to suit himself, the es- tate will be beyond all doubt the most princely in the world. It 1s probably now the most attractive place in this coun- try. AnU ‘oved Tract. Acroes the French Broad river, in the heart of the North Carolina mountains, Mr. Vanderbilt has bought 75,000 acres of property. This is unimproved, except for @ mountain shanty here and there. It is thought to be the intention of the young millionaire to make a great game preserve of this track. It is not connected with the estate on which money is now being 80 lavishly expended. It is so mountainous as to be worthless for any purpose excevt a great game estate. Work on the Biltmore estate was begun about seven or eight years ago, Mr. Van- derbilt then owning about one-half of the land now embraced in his property. He has continued to buy until the acreage is, as stated, 7,000. Besides the princely man- sion of the millicnaire, surrounded by handsome walls and iron fences, there are many beautiful houses on the estate, oc- cupied by employes. And here it is inter- esting to know that several hundred peo- ple are employed on the estate. At the mansion itself forty or fifty people are on duty. Yet Mr. Vanderbilt does not spend a total of a month each year at the mansion. He is now in Europe. The salaries of the employes go on all the time. [|= == The neighbors and the Asheville friends of the millionaire say that he is big-heart- ed, a philantaropist and a benefactor of mankind. Those in his employ who are faithful and attentive are assured of a home under all misfortunes. In case an employe is stricken with serious illness his salary goes on and his house remains at his disposal. Nothing is left undone for his comfort. Mr. Vanderbilt is thoughtful and kind to the farmers. He has taught them hun- dreds of new ideas and aids them in every Way possible. He encourages them in the improvement of their stock and the in- troduction of improved methods in farm- ing. His overseers are instructed to aid the farmers in every way possible. The result of this magnanimity is that the best class of cattle are being introduced into the county and the old red_ hills around the estate, heretofore fit only to grow sprouts and blackberry vines, are blossoming into cultivated fields. An in- spiration nas been set which has had far- reaching effect. Even in the building of mill dams the millionaire has furnished new ideas. A Pretty Pictare. Passing over the beautiful drives and along a pasture on Monday the President stopped his carriage to gaze in admiration at the magnificent herd of grazing Jersey cattle. In two herds there were 160 Jersey milk cows of the finest grade money could buy. The milk and butter are sold in Ashe- ville and are eagerly sought for. On an- other hill was a flock of 250 sheep of the finest breed, feeaing in a long line, extend- ing far diown the side of a hill. In swine, fowls and all other domestic animals the same splendid sight was brought to view. The farming operations are conducted under the supervision of men of scientific knowledge. Every improved instrument used. A splendid truck farm is operated. This, however, has not paid, owing to the competition of Virginia and Georgia truck farmers, and is to be abandoned after this year. Small fruits will take the place of vegetables. Would Not Be Imposed Upon. A story has been published that in the center of the Vanderbilt estate is a little farm owned by a negro named Carter, for which Mr. Vanderbilt has offered a small foriune. This is not true. On one edge of the estate is a piece of land containing three and a quarter acres. It belongs to a colored man named Carter. It is in the shape of a flatiron. Only a small point runs into the Venderbilt property. Mr. Vanderbilt did offer more than the property was worth to obtain it, but he found that there was an attempt to fleece him, and he withdrew his offers. Carter had mortgaged his place to several white men, and they used him for purposes of speculation. They now regret that they did not close with the first offer. It is impossible to describe in a short article the beauties of the estate. The most attractive features are the drives. ‘These have been macadamized, the rock be- ing pulverized. The roads are hard, smooth and firm. Bicyclists are allowed to use them. Ali along these drives the native wild flowers have been added to by for- eign flowers and plants. Honeysuckles, wild roses, lilies, daisies, ferns, plams abound in the wooded portions of the es- tate, presenting a bower of beauty, which drew from Mrs. McKinley and all the visi- tors unbounded expressions of delight. st WALLACE HOME DEDICATED. Some Question Whether Washington Ever Occupied the House. The Wallace Home at Somerville, N. J., recently purchased by the New Jersey Revolutionary Society for its headquar- ters, was dedicated yesterday. Gen. Robert F. Stockton of Trenton was of the opinion that the society was im- posed upon in purchasing the house, as Washington never made his headquarters in the building, which was, in fact, not built until 1797. The society, after investigation, decided that history afforded strong proof that the heuse had been occupied by the American ccmmander. “+ e-+_____ Academy of Forty. At a meeting of the academy, held last night in Wimodaughsis parlors, the new officers were installed and entered upon their duties: Mugister, Mrs. Sara A. Spen- cer; vice magister, Miss Mary H. Williams; scribe, Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens; corres- pondent, Miss Fannie N. Edwards; repos- itor, Miss Emma M. Gillett; board of cen- sors, Mrs. Havens, Miss Garst, Miss En- glish; auditors, Miss Morris, Miss Holmes. A committee to revise the constitution was appointed as follows: The magister, Mrs. Havens, Miss Garst. Important amendments were referred to this com- mittee relating to admissions to member- ship and requiring that the repositor be a bonded officer. It was urged by Miss Gil- lett that the standing and character cf the society and the amount in the treasury re- quired these provisions in the constitution. The society accepted the invitation of the new magister to hold the next meeting (eS 16) in Spencerian College par- lors. ‘The remainder of the evening was devot- ed toa discussion of the topic “Cumbering in of Miss their daughters with mecdeoe a to their intellectual, spiritual i THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Some Pleasant Gossip of Miss Alger's Fianoe.

Says Rates to the Gulf Are Excessive= To Build New Line. The committee appointed by Gov- ernor Leedy of Kansas to confer with Oklahoma and Texas committees in ef- ferts to secure reduced freight rates has made its report to the governor. Concisely stated, the report of the committee is that the rates from Kansas and the gulf have been found unjust and excessive; that it costs too much for Kansas farmers to ship grain south, and that the question must be settled soon in one of four ways sug- gested, to be taken up in this order: First—Attempted remedial conference with the railroads by the governor or railroad commission with a view of having a re- duction between now and fall, when grain is shipped south heavily. Secondly—The use of the special session ciub on the railrcads if the first plan fails. Third—The calling of a special session of the legislature if the two propositions do not work, and the attempt to pass a maxi- mum freight rate bill. Fourth—The immediate and serious con- sideration of the building of a north and south railroad through Kansas to the gulf as a last resort if the above named three courses should result in failure. — BABCOCK. ted this fe, ‘Thursday, June 17, 1897, Toe Virgins 1.
