One of Baltimore City's Most Beautiful
Suburbs.-The April number of House and
Garden, published in Philadelphia, contains
lengthy and profusely illustrated article by Mr..
Walden Fawcett upon Roland Park, Baltimore
county. The half-tones accompanying the
article are from photographs by Mr.. Charles
T. Walter.
A sketch of the history of Roland Park,
dating from the autumn of 1891 is given, when
company with a capital of 81, 100000,
and financed largely by English capital, pur-
chased at cost of half million dollars two
tracts of land aggregating about $50 acres. The
land was rather heavily wooded The topog-
raphy of the Park, as is well known, is par
ticularly attractive, the location being high
and the land gently rolling While the soil lis
coarse and gravelly, with some clay, for the
most part it is a rocky formation, which con-
tributes to the stability of many admirable
attainments in landscape architecture
The article describes the extensive system of
improvements carried on at the Park. At the
outset, nearly one-fourth of the original area
of the Park was sacrificed to roadWays and
lanes, and over $4,000 was spent in grading
and half as much again i'll providing grano-
lithic sidewalks, stone cutters and underdrains
Thousands of trees and shrubs were planted on
the various roadways. The wisdom of this
policy is illustrated by the appearance of the
principal thoroughfaIe Roland avenue, which,
owing to the privet hedges, has been robbed of
but little of its beauty by the electric railway.
The social centre of Roland Park is the Bal
timore Country Club. The clubhouse was
of land Immediately attached to the house,
and an adjunct of los acres followed the origi.
nal purchase for use as golf course The
membership of the club is not confined to
residents of Roland Park, but includes many
people from the city.
The article in House and Garden gives many
other interesting details regarding Roland
Park and the improvements in the neighbour
hood and the general administration of affairs
there The construction of houses is hedged
about with many limitations, but none of
them irksome. One of the chief objects is to
insure architectural harmony SO that no incon-
gruities shall mar the ensemble of the settle
ment. There are no saloons, and even the
stores are not permitted to disfgure the general
artistic plan. The architectural types are
varied and exceedingly x and By

DR.. Councilman and His Great Discov-
ery.-The Boston Globe says that the discov-
ery of the smallpox germ by DR.. William T.
Councilman is the most important medical
work ever made in Boston, and that it will be
immortal. What he has accomplished will
rank with some of the remarkable facts which
Pasteur has given to science. The discovery
will rebound to the everlasting credit of the
Pathological Department of the Harvard Med
ical School. as DIR. Councilman is professor of
pathological anatomy there"
DR.. Councilman is son of the late DR.. John
7. Councilman, of Pikesville, Baltimore coun-
ty, who for more than forty years practiced
medicine there and in the surrounding country.
During the smallpox epidemic in Baltimore
in 1880 and 81 DR.. VIM. T. Councilman vol
unteered to go down to the Marine Hospital
and stayed there as long as there was a case OF
smallpox, attending and nursing the sick. His
interest in smallpox dates from that time, as
