The Vanderbilt Domain.

The splendid country house which
Mr.. G. W. Vanderbilt has been build
ing near Asheville, N. c., is now near
ing completion and he expects, so it is
said, to spend next Christmas in it,
This will probably be the finest coun-
try place IN America. The cost of the
building alone is reported to be some
thing like six million dollars. It is
surrounded by domain of nearly fifty
square miles of land, which Mr.. Van
derbilt has purchased, and large por-
ton of which is in forest. A magnifi-
cent park has been made. When a
person has more millions than he
knows what to do with more delight
full way of spending them than Mr..
Vanderbilt has found could scarcely be
devised. Experiments in agriculture
and forestry will probably be made,
and if the birds and game are protected,
as they probably will be, they will
rapidly increase and multiply and be a
source of pleasure to the owner. In
the United States there is but little
taste for country life among the rich.
Nearly all the Improvements and the
handsome buildings are in the cities
and towns, and in most of the States
of the union the fine country seats
(which are so beautiful and attractive
N European countries are entirely alb.
s;ent. The delights of English country
- fe, the healthy outdoor occupations
End amusements are among the favor
BE themes of the English novelists.-
{, erhaps, as Mr.. Vanderbilt has set the
i"shion, others may follow and some
of the cheap waste lands may be made
beautiful and the country embellished
by fine residences.

An industrial schoo! for girls is ex-
pected to be in successful operation in
Alabama in the not far distant future.
The Legislature has taken the initia-
tory step by appropriating $4,000 for
the object, and the selection of a site
is now being considered. The Mont
gomery Adoertdser says under the
direct patronage and supervision of
the State this industrial school for
girls is to be no experiment, but is
going to be a success and fixture from
the start. Hundreds of girls are going
to attend it from all parts of the State.

Speaking of women, here are some
aphorisms which the young lady type
writer thought out yesterday and wrote
down to show to the head clerk, whom
she didn't like very well any way:
MANY a woman finds at times that
it would be money in her pocket to be
a man.
'It tires one to work for nothing,
but a man usually discovers 1t sooneI
than woman.
"A woman need not be any worse fof
having money in her own right.
Some women have a knack of make
ing over husbands as they do their
bonnets-for the better.
81 did not mean to do it,, gen,
orally deserves the retort, Yes, but
you did not mean not to do it,
Money in it for them is the only
golden rule some people know.
"a banknote often furnishes a key
note to the situation.
Business knows no sex, sentiment
or sympathy.
"The modern artist paints Mrs. Mil
lions portrait as accessory to her
dress.
"You cannot measure the depth of a
woman's purse by the length of her
train.
"a woman may be willing to die
for q man, but unwilling to take g.
direct road to the poorhouse with him.

Boston Herald.
The gentleman from the remote
hacienda, as we innocently imagined,
had just dismounted from the upper
berth, armed cap-a-pie, his visiting,
Sunday best revolver displaying its
mother-of-pearl handle and it's nickel
ed business end; his spurs were strap
ped onto his boots, and they jingled
as he alighted. A shudder ran through
the stalwart frame of the Pullman
porter, who had, up to that morning,
treated US with the nonchalant hauteur
of a Standard Oil magnate.
"Sah," exclaimed the porter, "shine
your spurs, sah?"
But the cavalier deigned not to
reply, and Ianglej jingled his way to
the smoking compartment, where he
patiently awaited the breakfast sta
ton, still an hour and half dis
tant.
"Dese hyah Mexicans jess holy ter
rors," remarked the porter, soto
voce; "dey goes to bed ready fer a
battle or a duel; If we'd gone off de
track in de night that man, sab, would
have shot de conductor or me TO Sho'.
I'm jess about tied ofdis job"
The remainder of us began to invent
explanations for the presence of the
don who was taking a trip in such
warlike guise. Some of US thought
| he might be q famous bandit. locally
! known as lei Altote," or 1.-THE Tall
One" and our excited and as yet un-
breakfasted imaginations pictured the
train held up, our pockets rifled of the
silver dollars of the MonteZumas, and
only locally Unacceptable New York
, drafts left to us as we crossed what
old-fashioned geographers termed the
Great American Desert.
The conductor coming in from a.
consultation with the newsboy, who
had provided him with a professional
breakfast of jujube paste, said in
reply to our queries regarding the
mysterious passenger:
Hes no Mexican. He got on last
night about y. He's manager of an
English mining company down the
road
But his spurs; he wore them all
night, and his revolver he had on
when he got down from his berth"
we breathlessly urged.
Eyes, / know: he always does that
to awe the tenderfoot," explained the
cynical conductor.
Presently, as if in confirmation of
the statement of the conductor, we
overheard the bepistoled Britisher say
to the porter: II dessay, boy, you
can make me a cup of tea in the
buffet. I'm quite tagged this MORN
ing
The conductor said to us in a few
whispers: "He gets off at the next
station. He never goes further. You
see he's a younger son, sent over on
5000 a year to manage a mine. He
knows as much about ore as a Pull
man porter does of a ships rigging.
When he came over they gave him a
French chef to cook for him at the
mine and a violinist to while away
his evenings, for he's accustomed to
the opera and Paris. It's a daisy
job he has, and you just bet your life
I'd like to change with him"

The life and animation OF the Mid
way reached it's elimination last night,
both with regard to the intensity of the
enjoyment and the number of people
present. 1t was college night, and the
youths of both sexes had not neglected
the opportunity to visit what at the
present time is considered the head
quarters Of pleasure and recreation in
Minneapolis. Prof. George MacLean,
of the university of Minnesota, was
present and delivered short address.
1.-THE college," he said, Stands for in
telligent Americanism. On Decoration
day we celebrate Americanism; on
college day we show what Americanism
is." The college also stands for amuse-
ment and sport.
Prof. MacLean also paid some very
f1attering compliments to the ladies for
the immense work done by them in
connection with the Midway. They had
thereby shown that they could more
than outdo the men with regard to
charity. Several brisk college songs
were sung by a chorus gathered by
Thomas Taylor Drill for the occasion.
Every booth in the show contributed
members to the chorus.

show they felt satisfied with using
their voice. But they have already
come to despise such simple means for
attracting the notice of the pubic.
Last night one of them used trumpet
in the most effective way, while two
others executed ear-breaking f1ourishes
on copuple of horse fiddles. Another

yelled and screamed like a mad In

Strolling through the park, we were

whether they are nurses, chorus girls

"The scene was a most brilliant and
