the like there must have been!
Upon the upper corner was the pal
ace of A. T. Stewart, the merchant
prince, for years the finest in America.
Upon it the old merchant had lavished
his wealth and ingenuity. It was the
dream of his old age, an unexpected
streak of poetry in his arid heart. He
had secret passages built into it..
Workmen from Italy were imported to
do the wood carving. Processes were
invented to give it absolutely unique
effects. Then the owner died, as many
men do after building their castles for
all time. Presently it was found that
Mrs. Stewart was poorer than men
thought, and the house was turned
over to the Manhattan club, represent
ing the respectable element of the To-
cal democracy opposed to Tammany.
When Cookers carnival of loot began,
the Manhattan club shruDk in impor-
tance, while the democratic club grew
suddenly great under his eye. The
marble mansion was neither wanted
for club nor fitted for a house,
because of the turmoil of the street
outside.
So the wreckers got it! For few
months they were tearing it away;
now upon its site is rising the new
building of the Century Realty COM
pany. Think what richness for the
wreck<r among those great mirrors,
those matehless carvings; what wealth
OF material, even, in the three feet
thick walls, built for eternity, but la.t-
ing less than one generation!

view from the bluffs back of the town
is said to be one of the most beautiful
and magnificent imaginable. On closer
original town of Lorenzo Marques was
located upon an in-favored site, being
built upon long, low bar of sand not
very far above the water. Originally
this sand spit receded landward into
low, swampy ground, but under Eu
ropean invasion this land has been
drained and an upper town is SPRING
ing into existence. upon the higher
ground, leaving the lowsr lands for
wharfs and shipping houses. Delagoa
bay was first discovered by the famous
Portuguese navigator, Vasco da Cana,
who, some five years after the discov-
cry of America by Columbus, EN- bark
ed. like him, with three vessels, but
with the mission of discovering new
route to India by rounding the Cape
of Good Hope. By this hardy under
taking, which, like all voyages of that
day, was exceedingly adventurous, he
succeeded in reaching the eastern
coast of Africa. Here he coasted for
some days along the shore to the south
of Delagoa Bay. This land he called
Natal because he first saw it on Christ
mas day. When he reached the great
bay which was to prove his most i'm
portant discovery he was we'll received
there by the natives; but hardly tar
rying to explore the region even about
the mouths of the large rivers that
empty their waters into the bay at
that point, he proceeded northward
along the coast as far as Mozambique.
Then he returned to Lisbon.
In 1905 another feet of Portuguese
vessels started upon a voyage of con-
quest along this coast. By some mis-
hap one vessel lost the rest of the fleet
and put into Delagoa bay. Landing to
secure provisions the crew was at
tackled by the natives and many of
them killed, although few succeeded
in putting to sea, where they were fin
ally picked up by the expedition. The
rapid conquest of the country discov-
cred by Vasco da Cana was due en-
tirely to the boldness with which the
Portuguese continued voyages of dis
covery. In 1914, two Portuguese men.
Laurence Marques and Antonio CAL
defra, sent out by the captain of the
province of Mozambique, coasted along
the shore in frail bark, exploring the
various rivers which they found, among
them the several emptying into Della
goa Bay. A small station was estab-
ished upon the Espirito Santo (now
called English river) and the place was
named Lourenco Marques. The town
had, however, nominal existence.
Natives brought tusks down to the
coast at this point, taking them across
to Inyack island at the entrance to the
bay, where the traders from Mozam-
bique picked them up. From this time
forward for many years Lourenco

Marques was visited only occasionally
and that by missionaries or shipwreck-
ed crews which found their way in
there. Although Lourenco Marques
and all other similar stations along the
coast claimed by the Portuguese were
granted each a government official
who in turn was under the auth GRITTY
of the governor of Mozambique, it was
not until the splendid agricultural and
grazing lands north of the Vaal river
in the interior had been occupied by
the Boer farmers, who had trekked in
there from Cape Colony, that the nat
ural pre-eminence of Lourenco Mar
ques and Delagoa Bay came to be rec
ognized. But up to the beginning of
the eighteenth century practically
nothing was done by the Portuguese
to establish an effective trade. The
Dutch took possession of Lourenco
Marques in 1921 (they found it inha Bit
ed), but they were soon glad to give it
up, on account of the malarial swamps
In 1776 an Austrian expedition under
English command erected a trading
station, but its members were expelled
few years later by the Portuguese,
who built fort. This was in turn de-
stroyed by the French. In 1922 a Brit
ish captain wishing to explore the
country in the Interests of geography
and science, secured permission of the
Portuguese government and landed an
expedition at Lourenco Marques. Here
he was Informed by the Portuguese
that he would have to take his own
chances with the natives, who were
not under Portuguese rule. He had
explored but short distance up the
Tembe river when he came upon these
chiefs, and finding that they favored
English rule, induced them to sign doc.
uments ceding the whole of their ter.
ritory to Great Britain. When this
British expedition had departed the
Portuguese learned of what had been
done and in turn induced the same
chiefs to sign documents declaring

they had always been subject to Por-
tuguese rule. When, in 1854, Great
Britain acknowledged the independ-
ence of the Orange Free State, she
hoisted flag in Delagoa Bay, proclaim
ing that territory British. The Portu-
guese government made such strong
protest that the English did not press
the claim, but when, in 1869, Portugal
entered into a treaty with the Orange
Free State defining the latter's boun-
diaries, etc., England again lay claim
to Delagoa bay and surrounding terri
tory on the strength of the documents
secured by the geographical party
from the various chiefs. The matter
was left to the president of the French
republic for arbitration, and he de-
clded in favor of Portugal, who, how
ever, bound herself never to cede or
sell any of the land to a third power
until England had been given fair OPP
portunity to make reasonable offer.
In 1891 this pledge was reconfrmed
and made to extend to the whole Por.
tuguese territory to the south of Fam
best. By this recent convention Eng
land is in similar manner bound to
give first choice to Portugal before
disposing of any territory subject to
her sphere of influence.
Portugal is always in need of money.
She is already indebted to England in
large amount for various loans in
addition to the sum which the arbi-
traitors decided she must pay for the
Delagoa Bay railway. Her internal
affairs are in deplorable state. Eng
land is exceedingly anxious to cancel
these obligations and pay handsomely
besides for Delagoa Bay, and there is
every reason to believe the matter will
soon be accomplished.
Before the Boer war Germany de-
clared that ''the material interests
which Germany has created by the con-
struction of railways and the estab-
lishment of commercial relations with
the Transvaalrequiret the maintenance
of the Transvaal as an independent
state" She even went so far as to
land troops in the Portuguese possess
sions for use in South Africa and sent
friendly messages to Boer leaders en-
couraging them in their struggle.
Later her attitude became strictly
neutral one. She receded from the
position that her interests could not
be safeguarded if the English owned
Delagoa bay; and it was generally re-
ported that she had entered into a
pact with Great Britain. That is
why Germany may also secure por-
ton of the Portuguese possessions
France, in this instance, is the Jealous
power. France takes the position that
the ownership of Delagoa bay by the
English will be great menace to her
control in the island of Madagascar
and at any rate will destroy her dream
of being the supreme power in the Mo-
zambique channel. MILTON MARKS

enough it looked like his birthplace
when he had swept away the houses
for several miles. 1t was on this pre-.
serve that Mr.. Roosevelt recently
killed wild boar when he was in the
state. Few of the Corbin blood can
now enjoy its sweep and beauty. His
daughter is the wife of a foreign no.
bleman. The rest are scattered.
This process is going on all the
while. Frank Jones has become fab
ulously rich building telephone lines
in Brazil. He buys Bear Top Noun
tain, near Hartford, Conn, his old
home, and plans a baronial estate.
Richard Montgomery wins money on
Wall street. and goes to Richfield
Springs, n. Y. and lays out $50 acres,
his fathers old farm and several 9TH
ers, into a private park.
The eastern states are not so big
that this sort of thing does not make
an impression. The estate mania is
the biggest "bull' factor on farm prop
erty in the east. A few game preserves
the size of Whitney's in the Adiron-
dacks would exhaust the state Of
Rhode Island.
And how the game thrive under the
new fashion! Deer are more plenty
than they have been for 20 years. The

to the state of New York, simply to
turn wild in the woods. 1t is forbidden
to kill them; they will multiply until
they are fairly common. There are
bears; wolves are not so scarce as they
were.
John D. Rockefeller has never been
conspicuous as maker of great coun-
try estates. True, his lands at larry
town are some thousand acres, but it
is difficult to increase them, because
the region is fairly we'll built up and
purchases must either crook about
like shoestring or cost Unfortunately
But Rockefeller has now become an
Adirondack lord. The purchase of the
Lake Mecham hotel. with 10000 acres
of forest land, makes him prominent
as "preserve" owner. The Lake
Meacham was the most beautiful re-
sort in the woods, though smaller than
Paul Smiths. But hotel keepers can
not bid against oil kings for things
that oil kings want.

house can be built and comma nd wide

valued even five years ago, will sell

Imagine the prizes sometimes drawn
