Country Homes of the Rich.

There seems to be a growing tenden-
cy on the part of many wealthy people
In New York and adjoining cities to
build country homes away back in
the mountainous districts of Sussex,
Pike, Orange and Sullivan counties
In some instances large amounts Of
money are expended on these proper
ties, and they are made very hand
some. They attach large acreage.
In Sullivan are located the Chapins,
MacKenzies, Proctors and many 9TH
ers, while In Pike is Gray Towers,
owned by James Pinchot. large real
estate owner in New York city. Dom
aldson. the wealthy cardboard manu-
facturer of Brooklyn. has a magniti-
cent place away back in the wilds of
Pike county, while Colonel Price, the
Stuyvesants, Rutherfurds and Den
nises have fine estates in Sussex. Over
In Orange are Hartman, General
Tracy and the Tuxedo contingent and
the Havemeyers and others. They
spend their money in the most noun
famous districts and seem to want to
get away from the once popular sea J
shore points. Their taste Is to be
commended, for 1t Is healthier and bet
ter, while the surroundings are more
natural and more to ideal llfe.-Sussex

New Law Needed.

In our judgment a law requiring the
supervisors to make and keep an alpha
betical index to all important orders
passed by the board is something which
is badly needed. AS matters now stand,
when person wants to find an order
passed at some previous time, but the
precise year of which he cannot recall,
he must wade through the minutes of
three or four years, and then probably
overlook what he was in search of. The
supervisors themselves, as well as the
lawyers and the public are called upon
to under take the study of this ancient
county history. The writer spent day
and a half last summer looking for an
important order passed many years ago
and finally abandoned the search alto

smallpox Situation at Bogue Chitto.

BOGUE CHiTTO, Jan. l6, 1900.
EDITOR OF The LEADER take this
method to denounce the report which
has been circulated over the country
that there is smallpox in my house.
! That statement is untrue and mislead-
ing to the travelling men who would
stop with me had this report not been
circulated. There was one inmate of
my house who was exposed by visiting
the Turnbough's before it was known
that they had smallpox This was
Mrs Ella Tyler. who. at once, moved
off to herself in order to avoid expos
ing others. We think anyone can
come to Bogue Chitto with perfect
safety as to smallpox, for, at this time,
there is no danger of exposure except
at Mr.. Turnbough's. If it should de-
velop at any other place, it will be
noticed with care to prevent further
spread.
Several persons in our town have
been exposed but these have all been
put out of the way of the public, and
it has been from ten to fifteen days
since their exposure.
The only new case is that of Mr.
Turnboughs baby. Mr.. Turnbough
and the other children are reported
out of danger, and Mrs Turnbough,
who has been very sick, is somewhat
better. r. N ELLZEY,
Manager Magnolia Hotel.

Mrs. Turnbough's illness has resulted
fatally. She died this morning

A BOOKWORM AT WORK.

No rarer specimen of animal life ex-
lists in New York than the bookworm,
an insect recently bought by Isaac
Mendoza of IL Ann street.
The insect Is ensconced comfortably
in a COPY of The Memoirs, Corre-
spondence and Miscellanies From the
Writings of Thomas Jefferson" a most
valuable work In itself and more so
when it is considered that the mutila-
ton of one volume will make the bal
ance of the set less valuable. There Is
where the bookworm comes In. III he
eats up any publication that appeals to
his jaded appetite, that publication Is
decreased greatly in value.
Not for ten years has a bookworm
been seen in New York. This one
came from Virginia and has bored two
big holes through the Memoirs" not
to speak of several minor subterranean
galleries. The insect Is worth more
than the books he destroys; hence the
willingness to provide him with a
menu more expensive than Boldt or
Delmonico could provide.
The bookworm displays all the char
acterlstics of a real literary person,
preferring to be judged by his last eff
fort, which in this case was short
tail. Still, head work is what he prides
himself on.
The killing Of him would make col
lectors shed tears, as the insect defes
the rules of nature His origin Is un-
known. and mating never has been
heard of in connection with him.
The bookworm under such circum-
stances is bound to live as long as the
world exists, and this Ann street resi-
dent may have been cockroach on the
desk of Homer.
AS the worm Is only half an inch
long his value is more than his weight
