Bio Price for Farm.

George II. Vanderbilt has just added
to his estate at Asheville, N. c., small
tract of land for which he paid the
owner, a negro named Joshua Moore.
$2,250. The land would have been
dear at $50, but the negro refused to
sell at less price than the amount
he finally received. Moore's wife was
the real engineer OF the deal with the
multi-millionaire. The nine acres
which the modern David coveted were
decided to her 20 years ago by Erwin
Hardy, a white man, in whose employ
she had been for many years. She had
one child-o girl-before she mar
ried Moore, and tho land was to go to
her children. This daughter has just
become of age and she wanted the
money. Moore would no doubt have
sold long ago IL he could have made
title. He said he got only small
portion of the money, hSs wife and her
daughter getting the lions share.

A PRETTY HOUSE GOWN.

Speaking Of house gowns reminds
one that very pretty ones may be made
of the dainty challies displayed SO
temptingly on the shop counters. A
pretty one is Of blue and white stripe.
The skirt, aside from having a few
tucks in front, is perfectly plain and
has small train, while the waist, hay
ing yoke effect, is plain, too. The
sleeve is a new one and is banded with
a lace insertion, fril of the lace fin
ishing the cuff. Bows of pale panne
velvet adorn the cuffs, and the girdle Is
of the same material. Another house
gown is for young girl. The ground

z&ine color, black and white. The skirt
is pleated in such q manner as to give
whole plain pink front. save where
the founces border the root, says the
Plttsburg Dispatch. Tho waist is
treated in like manner, and there is no
trimming whatever on the gown. save
a black velvet ribbon, which threads

French Waists.

White cloth gowns are very smart.
and for the moment what is known as
champagne-colored cloth, somewhat
darker than ivory white, is the favorite
color, trimmed with lace and embroid-

of pale blue to make it more becoming.
There is also a return to the fad for
black, and there are dozens of smart
black gowns with round or pointed
lace yoke and high stock collar all In
one, and with elbow sleeves Of the
black finished with big puffed under
sleeves of lace.

FASHIONABLE BLOUSE WAL ST AND THREE-PIECE SKIRT.

endless variety of designs. 1t is once
again the most noticeable of all the
new styles. Quite apparent is the shirt
waist influence upon the waists. These,
while quite too elaborate to be rightly
called shirt waists, are like them in
being made without lining or bones,
and with n certain simplicity of pat
tern. All white materials are fash
ionable again, and especially the wash
materials that even now are to be had
in such fascinating patterns with open
work and embroidery, lines of lace in
sertion. or lace medallions all woven
with the fabric. These are more ex-
pensive, and consequently thought
smarter, with the lace or embroidery Of
the finest hand work. AS rule, the
new waists are made to fasten in the
back, all the more elaborate ones being
finished in that style. The lace is in
bands across the chests or in long lines.
The sleeves are charming, with the full
ness well below the elbow, but gath.

Pure white is the favorite color
though we see no end of all manner
of hues IN stationery; but white is the
vogue, and, though fads In stationery

following. Linen, lawn and cambric

THE SASH POPULAR.

The sash is much in evidence with
thin gowns, and 1t may be bordered in
the Louis Qunze style or made Of soft
ribbon and wound twice around the
waist and tied in short bow with
long -tasselled ends. Pompadour ribbon
sashes are picturesque when worn with
a simple white muslin dress, while
white ribbon illuminated with wreaths
of tiny roses would be fascinating with
pale green organdy or null, says The
Delineator. Lace n a genuine coffee
color is effective on white gowns, the
rich shade Of the lace softening and
beautifying the pure white. Irregular
Adgod insertions, medallions and edg-
ings are procurable in every variety of
lace shown, and there are also all-overs
to match.

Probably very few people who live
and work outside the money markets
have ever paused to consider the tre-
mendous monetary force welded by
the insurance companies of the United
States. the amount Of money that
these concerns handle Is enormous.
One may read that at present the 67
leading life insurance companies of the
leading life insurance companies of the
United States hold securities of all
kinds that aggregate more than S1,50O,-
000,000 imagination fails TO grasp
such figures. 1t is equivalent to say
Ing that there are 1900 banks in the
country, each of which has s1,000,000
which 1t must keep invested. Strik-
Ing as these figures are, they do not
include the holdings of the lesser in
surance companies, and they pay no
heed to the money controlled by the
multitude of large and small fire insur-
ance companies. OF course the bulk
Of the money held by an insurance
company has to be invested; that is to
say every dollar not needed for running
expenses and for the prompt payment
of claims. 1t is like a fairy tale Of
finance when ono reads what use Is
made of the millions on millions paid
to insurance companies. During the
year 1901, for example. the total of the
incomes of the 67 leading life insur-
ance companies was something like
1916, 100000. OF this money, about
$175.000.000 was paid to policy holders
or to their heirs. More than $77,000,-
900 was disbursed for operating ex-
penses. Still, moro than $780, 100000
was left. Some Economists" have
figured that such facts show a sur
plus" in which policy holders do not
participate.

for the task he has just compile

credit upon the writer and does
full justice to the enterprise in
whose interest it is prepared.
The memorial is from the pe0-

Friday in this city. They were
here to look over the situation
and met and mingled with count
less friends while in Colum bus.
1t is not often that Mr.. Clark
stops over in Columbus and his
presence gave a large circle of
an opportunity to enjoy
his company. He is a most ele-
CANT gentleman, fine fellow and
Capt. Johnston says that he and
Ed. Russell are the only two good
railroad men in the country. Mr..
Poe's visit recalled a very inter
esting sitting he had with the
Hon. John Allen in a famous rail-
road controversy which was
heard before representatives of
the Interstate Commission in,
this city several years ago. Mr..
Poe recalled his experience with
the Hon. John and had a hearty
laugh over it.
All of these gentlemen ex-
pressed surprise at the growth
of Columbus and promised to
stop off here oftener in their of
fetal duties, a promise which
here hope will be fulfilled.

al rancour and bitterness and
abounding in sentiments of
national unity and good will. A

Columbus has had two 'cul-
lud" shows the past week and it
must be confessed that the town
is none the better off therefor.
If there is one thing that the ne
gro is singularly deficient in and
in which his inferiority is forci-
bly, shown it is when he stalks
forth as an actor. That degree
of intelligence, that fine discern
ment of feeling and sentiment
and emotion which are necessary
in the dramatic art are yet to
find their first exponent in the
son of Ham and his efforts and
attempts are usually provocative
of disgust in his superiOrs, while
they arouse aspirations and am
bitiOns in their own race which
can never be realized or gratified.
The 'cullud" show ought to be
frowned down and the South
should lead in this good work so
that these aggregations should
remain in the North where they
are better appreciated.
