Atlanta, Her School houses, EIec-

Hill Monuments.

Sunlight greets us in the city
made famous by Sherman s march.
Again the white-capped, neatly
clad stewardess meets the lady
passengers as they alight from the
coaches. We are more than ever
persuaded that this is good GUS
tom and one worthy of imitation
by the western cities.
On every hand are signs that
tell us we are in city of progress.
The school houses are constructed
on modern plans and are numer-
Gus. The streets are well paved
and clean, most of them are paved
with stone from the boasted Geor-
gian quarries, and, by the way, no
one boasts more of these quarries
than do the people of Georgia.
Electric street railways that af-
ford t.e most rapid transit, carry
you to all parts of the city. These
things are not common here and
Atlanta is more like northern
city than any we have yet seen. 1t

this Office has been favored with q
copy. They now list fully three
hundred varieties of coniferous
evergreens. Some of them are
very strange and unique in form
and habit of growth. They have
been to great pains and expense to
secure seeds and plants of ever
greens.found native in all parts of
the earth. If man wants ever
greens cheap but good, for
.creens, groves, wind-breaks or
hedges, there is no better place to

fond of the marvellous, strange
and curious forms in nature there
is no other place in this country
where his fancy can be satisfied
with rare and beautiful :. ever
green's.
These nurseries are growing the
plants in immense numbers,
planting the seeds by the ton.
They imported from one seed
house in Germany last season

gathered in this country, getting
large quantities from Colorado,
California, Washington and all
the western states and territories.

MES. HARRISON INTERESTED.
BY Her Direction the White House Was
Thrown Open.
HER CONDITION ABOUT THE SAME TO-DAY
PLEASED WITH CHANGES MADE IN THE MAN
sIoN-ANxIous INQUIRIES FROM MANY PEOPLE
DIR. SCOTT HAPPY.

Mrs. Harrison remains in about the same
condition as when she arrived home yesterday.
She rested fairly well last night and this morn
ing was considered by her family to be at least
comfortable. Certainly she Is none the worse
for the journey.
Mr.. Russell Harrison, speaking this morning
of his mother, said that she had shown the
keenest interest in everything that was for her
c..nfort and especially in the familiar arrange
ment of her own rooms Best of all both last
night and this morning she relished all the little
delicacies brought to her and was taking much
more nourishment than she had at Loon Lake.
Tho food prepared for her in the White House
kitchen TASTED 80 good that she could not re-
fuse it.
PLEASED WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS.
Not very long ago Mrs. Harrison dictated q
letter to Col. Ernst. advising him as to certain
changes she would like him TO make in the win
ter. fixing up the mansion When she was
settled Yesterday in her own room she remem-
bered all about it and was much pleased to hear
tha- ,.er directions had been carried out to the
letter.
INTERESTED IN THE ENcAMpMENT.
Mrs. Harrison also took great interest when
ever members of her family are in her room TO
ask them about the progress of the encampment
festivities and il was by her special orders yes
terday that the mansion was thrown open to
the visitors a half hour after she reached it her
self. She is especially anxious that nothing be
omitted around the White House which would
contribute in the slightest degree to the COM
fort or pleasure Of the strangers. The grounds
we're opened as usual early this morning and
all day long stream Of people are going
through the state apartments.
ANXIOUS INQUIRIES.
The cabinet ladies are most solicitous in their
inquiries for Mrs. Harrison by sending mes
sages proffering their services to Mrs. Mckee in
any way she would care. to command. There
were pile Of notes yesterday for Mrs. Harri-
son and the other ladies Of the family. The
private end of the house is kept very quiet, and
the family are rarely seen down stairs except at
meal times L TACT there is always such a
crowd at the doors that the ladies would have a
little difficulty to get out even il they were SO
minded.
Mr. Mckee went north again yesterday few
hours after he arrived here.
DR.. SCOTT HAPPY.
DR.. Scott is very happy over the arrival of
Mrs. Harrison. Last week when she was 80
critically III an effort was made to keep from
| him ber real condition, SO as to spare him at
! least soma cours Of sadness. A well-meaning
| friend, however, broke the truth to him quite
| abruptly and the venerable man was greatly
affected. Now that she is home and be can oc-
casionally talk to her great load IL lifted from
his heart.
