JOE JEFFERsoN's SUMMER HOME.

A New and Fireproof "Crow's Nest" at
Buzzard's Bay.
The new summer home which Joseph
Jefferson has erected on his Crows Nest es-
tate at Buzzard's Bay is as near fireproof
as possible. The old Crows Nest was
burned down a year ago, entailing a loss of
$500, O00-quite sufficient to give a man of
ordinary good sense a wholesome dread of
fre-and Mr.. Jefferson concluded he would
u as little risk as possible in rebuilding.
SO the new house was built after his own
plans and every possible %precaution taken
against another confagration.
The architecture of the structure is of a
composite style which is difficult to clas-
sify, but it is handsome and substantial
beyond the generality of summer resi-
dences. 1t is situated on the high bluff
overlooking the waters of Buttermilk bay
and commands an expansive view of the
bay and hes surrounding hills of the pictur-
esque country. The foundation and first
story are of rubble and the second story
and gables of brick. The roof is of copper
In imitation of Spanish tile, and there is but
one other like it in the eastern states.
While the bricklayers were at work on
the tower, which is at the northwest end of
the building, one of them arranged the
bricks so that the word rip" stood out i n
bold relief. Mr.. Jefferson noticed it when

siderable service to the nation, and as to
the subsequent extraordinary usefulness of
Its present leading representative the whole
American people are amply prepared to
testify.
When the war broke out, Nelson A. Miles
was in business in Boston. He entered the
army as lieutenant of a company of Massa-
chusetts volunteers in 1861, being then 81
years of age. Five years later he was mus
tered out as a major general of volunteers,
out of the war. He was at once appointed
a colonel in the regular army and served in
North Carolina throughout the ~''recon.
struction" period.
Then he was ordered west to look after
the restless red savages of the plains. The
Cheyennes and the Arapahoes in 1870 were

ern Kansas. After the Custer massacre he
went up to the Yellowstone region and
wiped out Sitting Bulls band, and next he
willy Chief Joseph and his Nez Perces. Ev-
erybody remembers how he cooped up &C.
ronimo and his Apaches, leading his troops
for weeks over mountains and across sandy
wastes, under a broiling sun, clad in moth
ing but their underclothes.
One of his western veterans said of him:
H never asked us to go anywhere he
wouldn't go himself, and we'd lave follow
ed him through hell. We did, pretty near,
I'm thinkin, when we were after old Gero-
nimo," -.

DR., STANTON COLT. mcGQOu OF Iulull-
ing it is Christlike, too, for he lives among
the people he would benefit and makes
himself one of them, and whether they
agree with his beliefs and theories or not
they can hardly help admiring his self alb
negation.
Several years ago DR.. Colt began his work
more densely populated than any other Of
equal area on the earth. He had no religion
to preach but the gospel Of right living and
did not question, or NEEDLE with, mems
faith or politics. He commenced by taking
parties of between Is and 100 of the poorest
of them out on Sundays for a picnic in the
Staten Island woods and saw to it that
they had a good time. Then he went to
live among them and organized clubs for
their beneft-irst a boys club, then one
for girls, and out of these grew the Neigh
borhood guild. which includes the fathers
and mothers and is doing a great work for
Its members, giving them free concerts, lee
lures and art exhibitions and benefting
them in many other ways.
Recently DR.. Colt has been wrestling
with the problem of the unemployed. He
got up a mass meeting not long ago which
was said to nave been attended by &c, 600
idle workingmen. Men of all sorts of opin-
ions were in the gathering, socialists, an
archists, nihilists, communists and what
not among them, and the most contradic-
tory opinions were expressed from the
speakers platform. 1t was considered a
dangerous experiment, and many people
feared it would end in a riot. But it did
not, and that it did not was mainly due to
the predominating influence of DR.. Colt,
who presided.
DR.. Colt is a native of Columbus, O., and
was educated at Amherst college and after
ward at the University of Berlin, where he
took his degree of doctor of philosophy in
1885. He is profoundly interested in the
study of sociology and ethics and has an
arrangement whereby he delivers 10 lee
lures a year before the Society For Ethical
Culture, of which Professor Felix Adler is

A FREELAND COLONY.
AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT TO Be
TRIED IN AFRICA.

Disciples of DR.. Hertzka, the Austrian
Economist, Attempt a Practical Exem-
plif1cation of His Communicate Theories.
Plans and Prospects of the Colonists.
Another attempt to solve the great social
problem on the lines laid down by an eco
nomic theorist will soon be under way in
eastern central Africa. 1t is to be a COM
munistic colony Of the sort advocated by
DR.. Theodor Hertzka, a distinguished Aus
trian political economist, in his book "Frei-
land, !" from which the new settlement takes
Its name. The scheme has been under dis
cussion for the past five years or more, and
an association was long ago formed in
Vienna for the purpose of carrying it out.
There are now some 80 branch associations
In Germany and England, and ''the Free
land movement" as it is called. is interna-
tional in its aspirations.
The colony is to be located in what is
now called Machakoland, a district to the
east and south of Mount Kenia. which is
said to be very fertile, we'll watered and sa-
luxurious. A party of Is men is now on the
way thither to select the actual site for the
settlement and make preparations for the
larger party of 40 or so persons which will
sail from Hamburg as soon as the pioneers
get everything in readiness.
DR.. Hertzka will not go to Africa him
self, but will remain in Vienna and endeav-
or to promote the best interests of the col
ony from its European base Of supplies.
The pioneer party is under the command of

passing a few days later and dryly remark
ed that in future the bricklayers need not
pay attention to relief work without orders.
The word still remains on the tower.
The arrangement, finishing and decora-
ton of the interior leave nothing to be de-
sired in the way Of comfort, utility or
beauty. The house is lighted by electricity,
and there are electric bells and speaking
tubes in every room. The woodwork of the
rooms in the first story is Of oak. The
other stories are finished in white pine. Mr..
Jefferson has not forgotten to provide q
studio, where he can indulge in his fayorite
pastime Of painting. 1t is on the top floor
and has a large oval window, with a splen-
did north light. There is a door from the
studio into the lookout of the tower.
A little distance south of the house is an
attractive structure designed by Mr.. Jeffer-
son for an engine room and dynamo sta
ton. Wires leading from it supply the
house with light and also connect with the
cottages of his sons, who are his nearest
neighbors. Gray Gables, the summer home
OF President Cleveland, is not far away
and the great actor is a frequent and well
come visitor there.

Conquered the Cactus.

The conquering of the cactus in q little
Mexican town on the south bank Of the Rio
Grande furnishes a gentleman Of Dallas
with Inspiration for the following: .In this
particular town there was a good sized
church with a fiat roof. Alarge number Of
cactus seeds had lodged in the moss on the
roof of the church, and in the course Of time
there was q big crop Of cactus up there.
Now, it is the custom.w when they want to
destroy this thing to first burn of all the
thorns, and then the cattle will eat the
plant. The people became tired Of seeing
I;he plants on their church, and a mass meet
sng was called to devise some means OF get,
ting rid OF the things. After celebrating
for some time a man was hoisted to the
roof and after three days labor had burned
the thorns from all the stalks. IA COW was
then hoisted tosthe roof, and in about a
week there was nothing left on the roof but
the COW, which was lowered to the earth
again. The people were delighted with the
result and now point with pride to their
church,

cottage, but that they have nevertheless a
sensible appreciation of the benefits of
country life is shown by the fact that their
father has purchased for them a beautiful
country place at Observation-Disclosures
and is there erecting what is likely to be
one of the handsomest and most comfort,
able mansions IN the beautiful rivers
banks. The estate contains something
more than 400 acres and will be converted
into a handsome park. William D. Rock
efeller has an estate a few miles AVA and
1t is said the two brothers are buying up
all the land between, SO as to make n
grand park Of it.
One of the peculiarities of the plans of
the new abode is in the provision of quar-.
tiers for the entertainment of convalescent
patients from St. Luke's hospital in New
York, thus enabling the Misses Rockefeller
and their mother to keep up a benevolent
work in which they are very much inter
ested. They are frequent visitors to St.
Luke's when in the city and pay especial
attention to those patients who are poorest
and most friendless. Some of these will be
invited to spend the period of their conva-
lescence at the Rhinebeck mansion, where.
they can have the advantages Of country
air and perfect rest. IA
Another benevolent project which they
have in mind is to have the pupils of their
Sunday school classes come up for the sum-
mer vacation. Odd as it may seem to the
average worldling, both these young ladies
and their mother teach in the Sunday
school Of one of the best known Baptist
churches in New York, of which their IA
ther is a deacon. The whole family is great
" interested in church work, which fact
accounts no doubt for their aversion 70
fashionable designations and the serene
character Of their daily life.

young woman who wore this monstrosity
had evidently got the worth of her money
in quantity at least when she bought that
hat, but if warm wishes could lave affect
ed it, it would nave shriveled to nothing
on her head.
The stores have all held openings lately,
but I found few things that I have not al
ready mentioned on their arrival in the
great importing houses. I noticed a few
novelties worth mentioning, however, such
as all silk black satin grenadine in stripes
of five different widths. There is also a
new black indian silk faconne, which is very
rich and will make up handsome gowns
for those who like heavy effects. There is
Q satin berber, all wool, which has all the
luster of a real satin and all the wear of a
tin plate. There is a marked revival of
~tricots, albatross and tricotines as well as
bedford cords, homespuns, amazon cloth,
priscilla suitings, storm serge and baya-
dere tweeds. Two toned and mixed novel
ties are shown in great variety.
The fancy tweeds are among the prettiest
and most genteel of all goods next the chev-
lots. There are many designs in tweed
check novelty, and any amount of shades
and colors in h~opsacking. Mohair, brillian-
tine and lamire cloth are shown in all shades
and colors, particularly pretty ones being
in the newest shades, such as blues, grays,
browns, tans, old rose, cardinals and greens.
The crepons in cotton and wool are very
soft and pretty. There are lovely new ser
pentine grapes, some all silk and some
mixed with cotton. Corduroy in several
colors is shown for spring costumes, skirt
and jacket to match, and the new double
chain storm serge can be found now in
many tints.
Ladies' cloth, all wool broadcloth and the
finest French broadcloth are all much
sought for for elegant spring toilets. These
elegant goods can be bought now in almost
every color and are from a to Sc inches
wide and cost from $3.50 to 81 per yard. I
saw a full suit Of it of a deep, rich prune,
tailor made and having a Louis XVI coat
with it. The coat was deliberately trimmed
with narrow gold and black soutache, and
the skirt was trimmed to match.
The delicate and beautiful challies are
mostly bought for tea gowns and morning
dresses, though some summer dresses for
the street are also being made of. them. In
silks, which are really cheaper than cotton
gowns, when one considers laundry ex-
penses, the surahs and failles are favorites
for such gowns as will receive hard usage.
The two toned crystal silks, the taffetas,
either two toned or brocaded, the printed
china and the japanese wash silks will all
be favorites. The shot and iridescent silks
OF last season are seen sometimes for grown
persons, but more often for children. I
must not forget to say that English and
French buntings are high novelties.

COMES OF FIGHTING STOCK.

General Miles, the Greatest of Indian
Fighters, Inherits His Military Ardor.
Major General Nelson A. Miles, who will
succeed to the command of the military di-
vision of the Atlantic on the retirement of
General Howard during the present year,
seems to have been born for a military ca
reer. He is not a West Pointer, as every
body knows who knows anything about
army matters, but achieved his military
reputation ''even at the lannon's MOUTH
IN actual service on the field of battle dur
ing the civil war and in suppressing vari-
GUS Indian rebellions in the great west. He
is unquestionably the greatest of Indian
fighters. His career in this regard makes
splendid argument in favor of atavism, for
his earliest ancestor in America, Rev. John
Miles, a Welsh minister who came to Mas
~sachusetts in 1913, left the pulpit to lead a
company of colonists in the bloody King
Philips war.
Later on another Miles fought through
the Revolution from Bennington to York
town and took an active part in the war OF
