met changed the plan every time he saw
the structure while i'll process OF growth,
putting out a wing here and setting in a
gable OF dormer window there till the
builder in charge was distracted. The
builder has always been ashamed to tell
what it did cost, but the lowest sum
named by experts is $125,00Q. The
grounds are arranged quite as fancifully
as the residence, and yet the general ef-
feet is fine.
In front Mr.. Emmett had little lake
constructed fed by a brook which runs
from an adjacent ravine, and on this he
placed a gondola imported from Venice
regardless of expense. At the entrance
Of the grounds is a lodge in the English
style. To the right Of the house is a
stately windmill, and to the rear is fine
barn Of a composite architecture fairly
rivaling that of the house. Having fixed
all this and several other things Of al
eccentric nature, Mr.. Emmett died, and
his widow offered the place to Governor
Hill at price which experts told him
was a bargain. He bought it and EN-
ployed Isaac G. Perry, commissioner Of
the Albany capitol, to draw up plans for
renovating and altering the house to suit
more modest tastes.
Ks It now is, it is to be the home of
Governor Hi! SO long as he is United
States senator and possibly much long
er. He was born Aug. 80, 1913, and is
therefore just completing his fftieth
year. AS he has very firm constitu-
tion, is a man Of extraordinary temper
ate habits and does not allow politics or
business to seriously ''rattle" him, the
chances are that the Hill home will be a
political Mecca for many and many a
year, far into the twentieth century per-
haps The Van Rensselaers constructed
fine boulevard along the ridge, and the
residence stands about 500 feet west of
this, with fine macadamized road lead
ing up to it. Interiorly the house abounds
in three cornered rooms and other EN-
met oddities, but is a delightful place to
live in for all that.
The new residence which Senator Fas-
sett is building is d much less dazzling
affair, but has one great advantage over
Governor Hills, in that it will hold a
charming wife and daughter and squad
of lively and growing boys. The estate
comprises 30 acres of the Chemung val.

An active i''2agination and unusual hys-

It is curious fact that though leprosy

hours passed before the wound was ea1l-

toms Of hydropho hobia-that is, fever,
restlessness, pain i'll the head and back

a Dangerous Practice.

Ladies who do Il great deal of sewing
frequently suffer Il great deal from sore
ness of the mouth and lips and are often
at loss to ascertain the cause of the
trouble. Half the time it is simply the
result of biting off thread instead of us
ing Il pair OF shears for cutting. In the
case Of silk thread the danger is quite
marked, because it is usual to soak tho
thread in acetate of lead, partly to hard
en- it and give it a good surface, and also
perhaps to increase its weight some
what. If this practice is followed reg
ularly and very much silk thread is
used. the results may be quite serious
and even lead to blood poisoning.

Commissioner Hans Beattie also had
lady for private secretary when he was
at the head of the New Y ork street clean
ing department. Miss Cynthia West
over made quite reputation in that po-
sition and is often quoted as a fine ex-
ample of what such semiohicial should
be. In truth, the office of private secre-
tary requires happy union of many
qualities, most Of which we have been
taught to consider peculiarly feminine.
One must have deal of tact, ability to
catch an idea without requiring too
many words in setting it FORTH and es-
pecially if there are many callers must
the secretary have the talent to say
something to all and yet leave none with
any phrase that may afterward be quoted
against the principal.
Mrs. John A. Logan is credited with
having trained her own private secretary
for several years, and as she had a good
subject to start on the result is admir-
able In her home there is a very re-
tired but comfortable and well lighted
room where Mrs. Logan does her work,
and the ornament and pride Of that room
is Miss Edith Marshall. ~
Miss Marshall is rather slender and
timid looking Pennsylvania girl who had
worked her way steadily to position in
Washington city when Mrs. Logan met
her and found her assistance Of value.
sShe has my perfect confidence" says
that lady, "and has charge of all my
mail, the details Of my business affairs,
draws checks for the payment OF all my
bills and is my other self when am alb
sent" Mrs. Logan has an immense
amount of work to do. Her mail is
seldom less than 100 letters Il day. She
is president of the Garfield hospital, ed
itor Of magazine, contributor to other
periodicals, cola borator OF army liter
ature and has much private business be
sides. And in all this Miss Marshall is
not only secretary but trusted agent.
and sometimes adviser and friend.
During her four years in Washington
Mrs Levi P. Morton had for private
secretary a Miss Hunt of Louisiana
whose life is SO very retired that even
her given name is not generally known
Yet she is a scion OF one Of the oldest OF
fetal families, and her father was minis
ter to Russia at one time. She was also
companion to Mrs Morton and assisted
at her receptions, holding a place il

David Bennett Hill and Jacob Sloat Fas-
sett Have Elegant Country Homes-Mr.
Hills Mansion Was Built by Fritz En-
met and Has an Interesting History.
Hon. David Bennett Hill and Hon
Jacob Sloat Fassett are Elmirans and
lifelong rivals in city, county and state
politics. There the rivalry ends for the
present, for Mr.. Hill took sudden rise
and went away ahead Of Mr.. Fassett.
The latter ran for governor on the ebb
tide Of Republicanism in New York and
SO returned to private life, while the
former ran on the flood tide of Democ-
racy and became in rs>pid succession
lieutenant governor, governor and Unit
ed States senator. Their rivalry began
in Elmira and ended, for the present at
least, in Albany.
Despite their long rivalry at El1nira
and Albany they are good friends, with
very similar tastes for rural life, as both
have shown recently by securing coun-
try homes Of great beauty. Mr.. Hills
home has a history. Several years ago
the eccentric actor, Joseph K. Emmett,
"Our Fritz in one of his summer ram
bles was struck with the commanding
situation and rural beauty Of a spot on
the ridge which runs along the west
side of the Hudson from Albany to Troy.
He bought a acres and proceeded to
build a residence after his own heart.
Being the product and the exclusive
product Of E1u1net's brain, it is not nee
essary to add that the design is unique.
No architect has ever given a name tc
the style. It is not a building so much
as a combination Of buildings, as EN-

we may improve in this respect, as the
country is young"
s.America is large, strange and cold, y
she said, 1.-The climate seems to me to
affect the people and make them rough
and noisy. never heard SO much noise
in my life. In my home we do not
make great noise. The ladies are the
most beautiful things in America, bat
they are very strange to me. They al
ways want to shake hands. Then they
kiss each other. | 40 not like that. In
my country we onlylzis our mother and
sisters. Their dress is beautiful. Their
form is strange.
''The other day one of the lady visitors
asked to come into my house to arrange
her dress. She was as beautiful as the
Java twilight Hcl dress was the same,
but very strange. She wore jewels be-
meath her garments, where no one could
see them. This seemed strange to me.
If the American woman wears jewels on
her knees. why docs she not wear her
skirt short so people can see them? This
one had much lace on her clothes. We
never wear any butn single piece on the
waist. She had great quantities. She
had so many skirts that | do not know
how she walked. She never could run.
| am sure. it is 81 wonder to NE how
they keep their hats on. am sure that
the thin cloth they wear over their faces
would choke me.
Il will some day get an American
Iady's dress and put it on just to see how
look. No one will ever see me with it
on, should be ashamed. Edo not like
the men in America. They are not po.
lite. Since have been here many men
who have been with ladies have pointed
their canes and fingers at me and said
something. That Is s,very impo]ita."

senate Feb H. 1890, and by the house of repre-
president was requested to invite from time to
time as occasions may arise negotiations with
any government with which the United States
has or may have diplomatic relations, to the
end that any di1erences or disputes arising be-
tween the two governments which cannot be
adjusted by diplomatic agency may be referred
TO arbitration and bs peaceably adjusted by
such means April Is, 1890 the international
American conference OF Washington,
by resolution, expressed the wish
that all controversies between the
the republics OF America and the nations OF
Europe might be sealed by arbitration and
recommended that the government OF each
nation represented in that conference should
communicate this wish to all friendly powers.
A favorable response has been received from
Great Britain In the shape OF a resolution
adopted by parliament April g. last, cordially
sympathislng with the purpose in view and
