AsHEVILLR LETTER.

We have just had dinner which
we found waiting us on our return
from church, where we went this
morning at Biltnox, a suburb.
This is an Episcopalian church and
was built by Vanderbilt, who owns
big estate here. 1t is a lovely
place. He has an electric pipe or
gan and it is lit inside by electricity,
l presume from a private plant.
Vanderbilt was there with his wife,
and he took up the collection, and
seemed to be quite the Ieaderin the
service.
Yesterday afternoon, we drove
out to VauderbiIt's estate, and it
certainly is an immense place, and
in mighty good shape. 1t consists
of 10000 acres and has 30 miles
of macadamized roads. We drove
over II miles yesterday afternoon,
saw his garden, also his dairy,
where he has 200 jersey cows He
has a pig poultry yard also, He has
even put out pine trees along the
side of the mountain, which were
bare. He only allows visitors every
Wednesday and Saturdays, and
then to limit Of so, and requires a
pass from every one who goes in.
When he is here, no one is allowed
within about a mile of the house.
He was there yesterday, or was ex-
| pected, and we could not go up.
Friday afternoon we went out to
Kenilworth Inn. This is the largest
hotel here, and is out near the
street car line. 1t is opened only
January, February, March and
April, and the lowest rate is $8 per
day. We were taking pictures
around the hotel with our kodak
when the gentleman in charge ask
ed us if we would not come in,
which we of course did, and went
through the first two floors. Mrs.
Nash took picture of the stair case
and l took Fannye and Mozelle in
one of the rooms.
Coming back we stopped at nice
house which is for sale 1t was
opened-is all ceiled and wainscoat-
ed and side walled with hand cary
ed oak. 1t was valued with 20 acres
of land, and another house, at $50, .
OOO There are a great many fine
residences here and some more build
ing. This climate is fne-the air is
a good deal like Colorado, SO light
and dry,
We intend to leave here Tuesday
noon and get to Norfolk Wednesday
morning, and leave by boat Wednes-
day night and get to New York
Thursday afternoon, and stay there
until Thursday morning, August 10.
viii get back here Friday and I eX-
pect to stay until August 10 and
get home the 10th at night, Hope
that you are all getting along well.
l certainly am enjoying myself here,
Fannye has gained six pounds and
Mozelle four pounds, since they have
been here-Katy is getting awful
ly smart and not half the trouble

shoes last night and the first thing
this morning she was showing me

The Daily Texarkanian., 1899-08-03

The Arkansas Democrat remarks
that in the face of the low prices
for cotton there is some consolation
in the fact Of an increasing foreign
demand for our Indian corn. In
1896 the value of corn exported very
slightly exceeded SlOOO0O,OOOi in
1897 it reached Sl7S, 900, 900, and in
1898 $2l2, 900, 600. 1t is believed the

of our valuable corn products in

his person at the time of his disappear
ance about 5000. d. c. Barclay of Butte
and Peter White of Spokane reported the
strange case to the police Monday night.
They said they had been with Mcdonald
part Of Saturday and all day Sunday, and
up to 2 o'clock Monday morning, when
they left him on Howard street in front
of the Owl saloon to so home. They said
Mcdonald had remarked at parting that
he would go to the lower part of town
for a while and would see his friends
later in the day.

and White We're there at the appointed

THE DYNAMITE FIEND.
A CAWARDLY ATTEMPT TO DE-

An attempt was made early this morn
ing to blow up the home of A. j. Godske
in the rear Of 4O4 Covert street, with dyn-
amite. 4'tF
The dynamite exploded under the front
porch. The porch was wrecked, but for
tunately no one was injured.
The explosion occurred about l O'Clock
this morning, n naturally created much
excitement in the neighborhood. Officer
Walsh arrived at the scene a few seconds
after the explosion. One man had just
found a stick Of giant, with fuse attached,
in front Of the place.
The force of the explosion was spent
just to one side Of a cellar window which
was open. officer Walsh is Of the opinion
that the dynamiters intended to throw
the stick into the window, but missed the
opening by q very few inches. Had this
plan proved successful the house would
have been demolished, and a little son of
Mr.. Godske, asleep in the room directly
over the cellar, would have been instantly
killed.
The building is owned by John w. Mar
shall. Neither the owner of the property
nor the tenant, can ascribe any reason
for the desperate attempt at wholesale
murder.

CHINA STOPPED THE TRAIN.
A MONKEY THAT DISCOVERED A
RARE WAY OF HAVING FUN.

"China." a large African monkey who
| performs several acts in the Gentry show,
has quarters in a large car in which Pro-
fessor Gentry's nimals travel. This car
is one of the train that is used to trans
port the show.
Several weeks ago, when the company
was running from Memphis to Kansas
City, Mo-, the train suddenly came to a
stop. Inquiry by the train officials as to
the cause developed no information. The
train proceeded and had gone mole than
a mile when it suddenly stopped again.
The engineer declared that he had re-
ceived the customary signal from the bell
cord to stop, and in obedience to 1t had
lone so. The train hands made another
effort to find out who the miscreant was,
and being of the opinion that some one
was indulging in a joke at their expense
inquired of everyone on the train, and all
stoutly protested their innocence. The
conductor instructed all of the brakemen
to go to the rear end Of the train. think
ing possibly that some tramp might be
riding there. On his way through the
cars where the ponies are kept, a brake
man turned around just in line to see
China grab the bell cord and pull it
vigorously, in obedience to which the
train came to a sudden stop. This time,
however, the brakeman hurried forward.
explained the cause, and China was i'm
mediately chained up, much to his cha
grin. He had enjoyed the humor of the
thing immensely, having found out by
pulling the cord the train would stop sud-
denly and cause the ponies to fall against
| each other, which he considered very hui
morous.
The following day, when the cars We're
! standing on the sidetrack in Springfield.
| China had his liberty again, and he sud
denly jumped up, grabbed the bell cord
and pulled it again. This time. however,
there was no connection. and he looked
inquiring1y, first at the ponies and then
at the rope. Thinking perhaps the ponies
were not awake, he ran over their BACKS,
causing each one to start. Satisfying
himself beyond a doubt that it was not
the ponies fault, he grabbed the rope
again, but as before there was no result,
and he looked greatly perplexed and could
not seem to understand it. Failing to
annoy the ponies, he turned his attention
to a group of small boys who were stand
ing outside of the car door and amused
himself by grabbing their hats.
China is an exceptionally large monkey
and also exceedingly clever. He is a YER
liable imp of mischief, never gets tired
of having sport. and enjoys full liberty,
except when the train is running. His
riding act is one of the features of the ia
nous Gentry trained animal show, which
will exhibit four nights this week, COM
mencing Monday, July 81, under large
tents, at South Jackson street. near West
Galena. Matinees will be given daily at

GENTRY'S DOG AND PONY SHOW.

Gentry's animal actors, comprising his
famous dog and pony show, to say moth
ing of the monkeys, who add much to the
humorous part of the performance, are
booked to appear under a large water
proof tent at South Jackson street, near
West Galena, four days Of next week.
Performances will be given every night
at S:15 and matinees daily at 2:30 p. M.
which, by the way, are given with every
attention to detail.
The professors entertainment this year
is all new and original, the old acts that
amused us years ago have been replaced
by up-to-date features, and now possess
the charm of novelty.
Aside from the cleverness of the 70 dogs
and as ponies, IL monkeys n a baby
elephant. the professor also has a show
of animal beauty, for all his animals are
handsome. The ponies are always we'll
groomed and the snow white dogs are
really beauties.
A dog who climbs a small ladder to the
dome of the tent and dives into a net.
and a realistic fire scene are among the
new acts for this year.
The military drill is now executed by II
ponies. and in a that wOuld de-
light so old and critical a tactician as
Major General Miles.
