New York Woman Holds Property Inherited from Father as a Matter of Sentiment—House Was Two Hundred Years Old. ‘The.only house in the old-Indian vale Jey of Manhasset, on the north shore of Long Island, which Payne Whitney, fon of the late W. C. Whitney, could mot buy, was destroyed by fire two days ago, and with its destruction one of tho ancient landmarks of Long Isl- ‘and disappeared forever from the land- scape. It is quite three years ago that young Mr, Whitney brought his bride, a @aughter of Secretary John Hay, to gpend their honeymoon among the hills of Manhassst. They took possession of Almeric Hugh Paget's house, and young Mr. Whitney spent days wander- iftg through tho romantic woodlands in that section. Fine Country Estate. 'The.sequel of this honeymoon trip has’ been the purchasing by Mr. Whitney's agents of large tracts of land through- gut that section where Mr, Whitney proposes to lay out a magnificent coun- try estate to equal, if not surpass, that ofhis young millionaire friend, William K. Vanderbilt, jr, at Success Lake, a few miles distant. Farms and homesteads were gathered in, the old Mannasset Lake was bought, and families who had held their ateree ‘sur- \ in unbroken succession since 1690 the prices offered. In than $00 acres were gradually acquired, and everything went along pleasantly, ‘There ‘was no ught of opposition. A ques- tion of price was no obstacle to the purchase. But nestled away down in the valley just off the Lakeville road, some dis- ce from the village of Manhasset, stood the Brooks homestead. It was an ancient, weather-beaten structure, said to be quite 20 years old. It was known to the old tribe of Manhasset Indians, and quite 100 years ago it passed into tho possession of Joshua Brooks, & colored man of unusual Intelligence. Would Not Sell, Brooks was a famous cook in his day, and his house became a noted resort for who made excursions fish and game. He accumulated quite small fortune, and the old homestead as remained in his family ever since ‘and js now the property of Mrs. Joseph- ine Brooks, a wealthy colored woman living in Manhattan. ‘While during the winter months Mrs. Brooks has lived in the city she made ft a rule to spend her summers in the old homestead.

Flames Make Way. It would seem, however, that fate conspired to thwart Mrs, Brooks's In- tentions, and to ald the young million- aire in ‘his ambition for a magnificent country estate. ‘This year the old homestead was left in c jam Dean and his wife, and the other Right the structure was discovered in james, There is no fire department in that|TI hi locality and while Dean and his wire and two children escaped the old house Was burned to the ground. With th old homestead gone it 1s thought that now Mrs. Brooks will no longer caro to keep the place, and people in Man- hasset believe the property will soon pass into Mr, Whitney's control. In order to finish his plans as originally lafd out it 4s still necessary | ‘Thi for Mr, Whitney to obtain possession of half of one of the main business gtreets in Manhasset.
