SENATOR ABEL J. EVANS.

Hon Abel j. Evans was horn in
Lehi. Utah, December 90, 1853. His
boyhood was spent in the manner in-
cideut To pioneer days, hard work in
the field In summer and but little time
given TO schooling 10 the winter. So
little time and so poor facilities for
inlpar'ing instruction that II was no
trouble TO forget during lhe summer
that which WINS learned in the winter.
In spite OF limited opportunities. Nh.
Evans has been an earnest student Of
history and the law, and has had ex-
perIence In public affairs. When MI.
Evans was II years of age his father
died. and left the responsibility for he
care OF nine children with the widowed
mother. Young Evans from that time

the chairman OF his party in Utah
county senator Evans has been prom
inently connected with ecclesiastical
affairs in tie county, devuting much
time to mutual improvement work and
iIling mission TO England. Econo-
my in public expenditures is one Of the
primal articles OF his civic faith. This

THE HOUSE BUILT
UPON THE SAND
The Marvellous Fortune OF The Head Of the
Sugar Trust" and His New Fad for
Building a Modern Venice.

If they ever talk shop in the Havemeyer
household, and 1t is to be presumed they do,
they must occasionally paraphrase a gosd
old English expression and say, there's
nothing like sugar" Our humorists have
long since exhausted the field wherein grew
the jokes about sugar being made out of
sand, or otherwise it would be pertinent to
remark that the Havemeyer house was built
upon one of the products OF sand and
which, in contradiction to the Biblical ad-
age, has shown no signs of moving from its
foundations.
In the financial world of late years there
has been no period when the name of Henry
o. Havemeyer has not been an important
factor in the money market. But even these
men who are accustomed to talk of and
deal in big sums were startled short time
since when, after the annual meeting of
the American Sugar Refining company-the
corporate title of what is popularity known
as the Sugar Trust'-it became known
that the company had empowered H. o.
Havemeyer to take for his use, as working
capital" s250OO,O00. By working capital
was meant a fund to fight the capitalists
who were opposing the trust in it's particu-
lar line of business With $25, coo, 900 to work
with, H. o. Havemeyer is likely to do some

on either side will run directly to the bay.
The space enclosed by the roadways at the
beginning will be converted into a hand
some little park, adorned in every way that
the landscape gardener can devise.
Between these roadways on either side
of the canal will be the villas of the colony.
Twelve of these sites are now laid out, each
plot containing one and a half acres, with
frontage of 200 feet on the canal The
villas will be placed $50 feet back from the
waterway in the center of each plot, thus
adding to the general effect of space and
roominess.
In the construction of the villas this same
idea will be carried out. The general archi-
tectural idea of Mr.. Havemeyer's own
house is that of an italian villa, the sim
plicity of which may be judged when 1t Is
stated that it is to cost only 81 600. The
villas will be all of this same design, and
will be covered with staff, the same as the
buildings at the Worlds fair.
In front of each house and extending to
the waters edge will be a court surround
ed by low wall or hedge, and having be-
tween it's pathways flower beds, fountains
and other adornments. This work was be-
gun by Mr. Havemeyer in 1897. The amount
of progress made in the last season war
rants the belief that the entire place will
be ready for occupancy by the coming sum-
mer.
Although Mr.. Havemeyer will probably
derive as much enjoyment from his S11,9O

very effective fighting before the next meet
ing of the company comes around.
But there are times when the sugar mag
nate stops thinking of sugar. And then he
goes in, with all the vim he puts into busi-
ness during business hours, for his two
hobbies. These hobbies are golf and his
new country house, or colony, on the south
side of Long Island, which is usually al
luded to in that section as ''Havemeyer's
Venice" For he Is planning and working
to turn low, marshy point of land on the
Great South Bay on Long Island, into
little colony that will be veritable Venice.
His golfng fad can hardly be called an
expensive one to man of his wealth. But
as to the ultimate cost of the Long Island
VENICE" only time and his architects can
tell.
Havemeyer's devotion to the ancient Scot
fish game is very well known. He was one
of the earliest advocates of the sport in
this country, was one of the founders of
the United States Golf association, and was
the president of that body for several years.
The annual meetings of the U. s. q. A. are
always held in his residence in New York
at Fifth avenue and Sixty-sixth street, and
he has been extremely liberal In giving val
liable trophies for tournament play and in
advancing the cause of the fair game
by every means in his power. To golfers
generally, the U. 8. G. A. and the name of

For a number of years Mr.. Havemeyer
was one of that colony of wealthy New
Workers who have summer homes at SIAM
ford. Connecticut. Two years ago, how
ever on one of his visits to the south side
of Long Island he became interested in
property i'm that section and through the
midness of the climate was born the novel
idea of his new 'Venice." At that time
Bayberry Point the place he had selected
for the site of his new summer home and
accompanying colony, was a sandy strip
of beach on the Great South Bay near West
1slip.
It was at that time about as barren and
uninvitng place as one could find, and a
good part of it was submerged at high tide.
When the work that Is contemplated is
completed, however, it win be without
doubt the handsomest colony along the At
lantic seaboard
The Point" is more properly a corner,
and covers an area about a mile long and
half that distance In width. The main feat
ure of the new Venice is two canals, one
on the eastern border of the tract and one
running directly through the center Sf 1t.
TO dig one of these has cost $4,000 and a
like sum has almost been expended in ex-
cayatlng the other. The central canal Is
1900 feet in length and has a uniform width
of 100 feet The material dredged out has
been deposited on the lowlands, Ehich to-
gether with a substantial sea wall, will
prevent any damage from the tides.

house at No. 1 East Sixty-sixth street is
one of the show places in that section of
Fifth avenue. 1t Is luxuriously furnished,
and has been the scene of many delightful
social functions, for In private life Mr.
Havemeyer is extremely amiabe and in
clined to most liberal hospitality. The
place he has hitherto taken the most pride
In, however, is his Stamford residence.
This place has been in Mr.. Havemeyer's
possession since 1890. The grounds are nine
ty acres in extent, and were owned by two
families, before he bought the place, for
over 125 years. OF these ninety acres about
fifty are devoted to lawn and meadow
about the house, the remaining forty being
given over to pasture for the fancy cattle
of which he has been a highly successful
breeder. The house is a three-story build
ing, facing $50 feet toward Long Island
Sound. and is built of grey stone. The first
floor Is devoted to an entrance hall, recep-
ton ROOM library and dining room, with
a private office for Mr.. Havemeyer at one
end of the building where he transacts a
great deal of business The second floor
contains all the suites of sleeping rooms,
a feature of which are the numerous WIN
dows commanding lovely prospects over
meadow, lawn and the broad Sound The
nearby village of Greenwich has been the
recipient of many benefactions from Mr..
Havemeyer, one being the gift of a $150,000
schoolhouse and another parsonage for
the PRESBYTERIAN church.
