THE NEW WORLD,
GARDEN OF EDEN
NANDERBILTS PALACE IN THE Gland OF
THE SKY, AND ITS WONDERFUL
PARK AND PRESERVE.

Since the visit of President Mckin-
ley and the newspaper men to Bilt-
more, there has been renewed interest
in MIR. Vanderbilt's garden of Eden
1t is said that Biltmore house is the
finest private residence in the world.
George w. Vanderbilt has lavished his
wealth on this place and its adjacent
park. The park is more than twice
the size of Atlanta, containing about
$4,000 acres, and the hunting preserve,
reaching to Mount Pisgah, contains
l25 900 acres, or 95 square miles,
The lark is all that landscape gard
eners can make it, The site is ideal,
rolling and broken, and made pictur-
esque by the course of the French
Broad river Twelve miles of macad-
amiZed roads wind about among the
rarest flowers and shrubs of the world.
The mountain laurel grows beside the
rhododendron, and the honeysucklc in
terlocks its foliage with rarer vines
along the borders. Miles of spruce
and balsam are mingled with other
shrubs, and it is impossible to disting-
uish between the indigenous and the
exotic. No one can tell where nature
leaves off and art begins. The entire
wonderful variety oftlowers and shrubs
seems to have sprung from the soil
without care. The drainage is perfect,
and the exhilarating air is laden with
the perfume of flowers, intermingled
i'll indescribable bouquet.
Biltmore house rests OH an eminence
$500 feet above sea level, overlooking
most of the park, with view of half a
hundred mountain peaks that rise to
4 height of 1000 to $500 feet. 1t is a
granite chateau, with an esplanade and
ramp in front. The mansion has its
great hall, tapestry room. banquet hall !,
| tlnllS room, Dullaru rooms, swimming
pool and baths, and library that fills
two stories o. the west wing. The Ii
hrary overloobs 4 bowling green and
tennis court. The park has its golf
links and its fish preserves, Il herd of
400 Jerseys, 4 dairy farm, stock farm,
conservatories and nurseries. The
nurseries provide the shrubs and trees
for the park, and the gentleman in
charge, who is a graduate of Harvard
college, has at his disposal a costly
botanical library. The farms and gar
dens, conservatories and dairies, are
| conducted on the most approved scien
tlic plan, and the horses are cared Tor
| by the best of trainers and grooms.

The employees of the estate, about
600 in number, are the most contented
of people. They are well paid and not
overworked For their benefit All
Souls church was built. Mr.. Wander
bilt presented it to the parish, and pays
the preacher, the organist, the choris-
ter and choir Of 35 people. Never
theless, collections are taken every Sun
day, and when he is there, Mr.. Van
derbilt ofliciates as vestryman and
hands round the plate. The offerings
are all devoted to charity.
The hunting preserve attached to
Biltmore is under the care of 4 head
forester who is a graduate of the Ger
man school of forestry. He has num-
Der of assistants and the trees are
nursed like plants. Every year a GER
tain proportion are culled to make
room for growth.
'Arboretum Road now beng con-
structed and planted, will be lined with
trees, including every known species
that will grow in this climate. 1t will
take years to complete the work, but
when done it will be beautiful object
lesson. The forestry of the hunting
preserve will set pattern for this kind
of work in America. The preserve has
bears, deer, pheasants, and other game
of the region, and is being stocked with
other birds and animals.
Mr.. Vanderbilt chose this site as one
of the most beautiful in the wcrld.
The picturesque beauty of the noun
tain region is made delightful by the
peculiar stimulating quality of the at
mosphere. Its dryness and bracing
GOODNESS make it tonic equal to cham
pagne. The trip through the Gland of
the sky" from Salisbury to Asheville,
and down the French Broad and Hol-
ston rivers to East Tennessee by the
Southern Railway is an exhilarating
experience. Climbing up Round Knob,
the track winds about the mountain IA
times, and the train climbs 400 feet
in II miles. At the summit is tun-
mel. Emerging from this, the train
whirls into full view of Royal Gorge,
grand avenue among the mountains.
As far as the eye can reach, mountains
rise to the right and left, with broken
valleys between. This region is easily
reached from any part of the South by
the Southern Railway.
| Now for the first time since the dis
covery of the Gland of the sky there
is car service with closely connecting
schedules between Asheville and all
points reached through Atlanta.-At-

ALL THE PEOPLE

Should keep themselves healthy and
especial care should be given to this
matter at this time. Health depends
upon pure, rich blood, for when the
blood is impure and impoverished dis
eases of various kinds are almost GER
tain to result. The one true blood
purifier is Hoods Sarsaparilla. By its
power to purify and vitalize the blood
it has proved itself to be the safeguard
of health, and the record of remarkable
cures effected proves that it has Won
derful power over disease. 1t actual

other preparations fail to do any good
