Some of tho Fads That Rich Young
-. New Workers Follow.
Much has been written about George
w. Vanderbilt's studious habits and
book-collecting proclivities, says the
New York Times, but comparatively
little attention has been drawn to his
extensive experiments in arboricul-
ture On his large estate at Biltmore,
IN North Carolina, he has 1000 acres
or forest under scientific supervision,
and in his library he has all Of the
standard works on forestry, including
many rare illustrated volumes of great
value. 1t is his present fad-if an
earnest purpose can properly be called
a fad-to give this country useful OBJ
]ect lesson in tree and shrub culture.
John Jacob Astor is an acknowledged
1addlst in the matter of scientific re-
search. He takes an enthusiastic in
terest in mechanism and in electrical
appliances, and personally investigates
new inventions and scientific discover
les. His residence is fitted up with in
Vulnerable ingenious electrical and me-
chanlcal devices. Even his cook util-
ICES the electric current in various
ways. Archer M. Huntington, the son
OF Coils P. Huntington, has for several
years nursed the Moorish history hob
by. After accommodating of all the VAL
liable books that he could find having
reference to the Moors in Spain, he set
TO cly Nf yrif inc history

compl1shed, in spirit of enthusiasm
Tor the subject and not for general cir
culatlon. George J. Gould is of too
practical cast of mind to allow him.
self to be carried away by any passing
fancy, but within recent years he has
developed a fondness for yachting, golf
and other out-of-door sports that
amounts almost to hobby. He has
been known to neglect a Manhattan
railway directors meeting for a game
OF golf. Howard Gould is an out-and-
out hobby rider in yachting matters,
and one of his incidental fads is the
collection of yacht models. Harry
Payne Whitney's fad may be said to be
horses. He is fond Of the animals and
has an ardent ambition to own fast
horses His father has INDUCED him
generously in this particular fancy, and
the chances are that in course of time
young Whitney will be creditably heard
of as a breeder of thoroughbreds. John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., is an enthusiast in
the matter of outdoor sports, and he
is an expert in many athletic games.
For the current season he is manager
of the Brown University football team.

Well sinkers Demonstrate That tho
Center Of the Earth IL Hot.
A series of just completed expert
ments near Wheeling, w. Va, has de-
veloped the exact changes in tempera-
ture as the center of the earth is ap-
preached. Curiously enough, the facts
thus learned show that that famous
work OF the imagination which told
fiction readers about journey to the
earth's center Is about right on the
question of temperature. The means
OF investigation consisted Of we'll and
United States signal service thermome-
tiers. The observations showed a gen
eral increase In heat of about one de-
gree Fahrenheit every eighty or ninety
teet Tor the upper half of the uncased
portion of the we'll, while the lower
part showed an increase of heat at the
rate OF one degree Fahrenheit every
sixty feet. The depth of the we'll was
measured by steel wires, and was fig
ured at $500 feet. It was AZ inches
IN diameter, and was cased for only
1910 feet. At depth of 1900 feet to
5000 feet oil sands were encountered,
the result being slight DETECTION in
the regular curve Of the well. The
stratum through which the well was
drilled dips only. about fifty feet to the
mile; that is, there is detection to
only that extent. Now, from the geo.
logical standpoint, the nature of the
earth's interior could not have been
secured. ~ ~.

A Michigan, Ghost Story.

At a spiritualistic seance held at
Lansing, Mich, three years ago Albert
Doan was informed by John Maybee,
local medium, that $4,000 estate
awaited him in Kansas. Another me-

SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT AND HOP AT
THE TOWN HALL.

Seldom has a more fashionable audi
ence graced the Town hall than that of
last Friday evening, when a very enjoy
able entertainment and hop were given
by the boarders at Dicks hotel. The ar
fists were Herbert Flansburg (the Pris-
oner of Zenda Co., season '96;) David
Miles, (Stua It Robson's Co., season 80, }
Miss Anita Hendrie, (The American Girl
Co., season '96,) and J. Frederick White,
| Baritone soloist, Church of the Messiah,
Brooklyn, N. Y.) The pianist and ac-
companist was Prof Charles r. Muller OF
New York. They are all artists of merit
and the audience was highly delighted
with the program given. Prof Muller
opened the evening with an overture, Sc
lected, and the comedy which followed,
ssOne Touch of Nature,n in which Miss
Hendrie, Mr. Flansburgh and Mr. Miles
all had part, was the gem of the even
ing. j. Frederick White, whose rich bar
itone has been heard here before with
pleasure, gave two selections and was
obliged to respond 60 an encore .on each
appearance. Miss Hendrie (assisted by
Mr. Miles) gave an amusing sketch en-
titled "He, She and IT, Mr. Flansburgh,
who is responsible for these pleasant en-
tertainments and who is very popular
with Newtown audience, was vocifer-

A CHARMING RESIDENCE,
THE NEW HOME OF DIR VILE AT CEDAR
GROVE NEARLY COMPLETED.

DR. w. C. Wile's new residence a
Cedar Grove is nearly completed, anC
when it is finished it will be one of tn,
prettiest homes in Danbury and Dan
bury has some pretty places, too. ThC
house stands upon a slightly eminenct
at the foot of Deer Hill avenue, and over
looks the entire city. Away to the
north Brookfield may be seen, and off tc
the east is Whisconier hill, with itc
green fields, dotted with white farm
houses. 1t is doubtful If there is a
prettier view anywhere in the city.
The grounds about the residence will
not be in prime condition until another
season, but they have been nicely laid
out and arranged to contrast with the
rugged landscape about them,
The house itself has the appearance
of roomy country-seat, with broad
verandas and pleasant hooks, which in
vite one to their shade on a summers
day. The arrangement of the place
gives one the idea of comfort rather than
elegance, yet the elegance is not lack
ing. The entrance to the house is
through spacious hall which opens out
upon the 123 feet of Veranda. The hall
itself is more than fifty feet long and
correspondingly broad. To the right is
a pleasant drawing room, which has
about 1t an air of quietude and restful-
ness that is inviting, to say the least.
In this room, as in many of the others,
tapestry paintings are one of the most
striking features of the decorations, and
it lis probable that in no residence in
Danbury is there larger or more hand
some collection of adornments of this
character.
DR. Wile's study and a sitting room
and dining room are also upon the first
floor. The latter room is unique in its
arrangement and :adornments. Many
pieces Of antique crockery and ancient
utensils which the doctor has been years
in collecting have places upon the walls.
They are In keeping with the old fash
ioned fireplace and the air of antiquity
which pervades room, which with all is
cheerful and home like.
A broad staircase leads to the second
floor where are the family sleeping
apartments. Their arrangements and
decorations are quite in keeping with
the lower floor. The rooms open onto
verandas, which look out upon the city.
They are spacious and well lighted and
are supplied with everything that mod
ern home could have. Some of the
furniture is rare because of its beauty
and antiquity.
The third floor has some comfortable
rooms which are not yet completed, and
above them is huge tank which holds
1900 gallons of spring water which a
ram forces from the spring at Cedar
Grove. This tank gives the entire house
a plentiful supply of clear spring water
with all the force that is necessary.
A spacious stable is being built near
the house and in it will be apartments
for the gardner and his family.
Adjoining the doctors property is
Cedar Grove, which is one of the pref
tiest pieces of woodland in the town.

1t is painful to be forced to unmask a
man who has been SO long held up as
the exponent of Democratic doctrine,
but STERN sense of duty to the free sill
yer and spoils Democracy Of the present
compels us to portray him in his true
colors. It is not right that he should re-
ceive the enthusiastic laudations of
Chicago platform Democrats when he
was false to nearly every one of the
great and glorious principles which
they formulated in 1896. What right
had Jefferson to pose as Democrat,
anyhow? What pretensions to Demcc-
racy had man who actually believed
in applying business principles and
common sense to national affairs, who
had old fashioned ideas about the sa-
credness of obligations, who demone-
tized silver when he saw it was neces-
sary for the public good aud who was a
civil service reformer
Logically the only thing for the free
silver Democrats to do is to denounce
Mr.. jefferson instead of praising him
aud to adopt resolutions reciting his
various glaring heresies and formally
reading him out of the party, for it is
absolutely certain that i. the Chicago
platform is to be taken as the expression
Of true Democratic doctrine Thomas
Jefferson was not Democrat and must
descend from his pedestal as the father
