| rhodOdendrefl were III DloOm anu
many other flowers, generally OF
native growth were blossoming
everywhere.
We were prepared for a long
drive and so the first glimpse OF
the castle standing alone on the
summit of a hill, in the distance,
was most impressive and surprising;
grassy lawns brilliant with
| blossoms surround the castle but
there are no trees to cut of or hide
the glories of this new world
aristocratic mansion.
Our driver would not stop for an
instant when we arrived in front
of the castle. Said'i it was against
the rules and so he slowly drove
by and on to the roadway that led
in the opposite direction from the
one we had come. The driver also
gave the information that no
visitors were shown inside the
building, and that at present it
was locked up the family being in
Europe. The outside beauties of
the many turreted castle are
shown by way Of the carriage way
that winds around the mountain
side giving one several different
points of view, but at a distance.
AT no time were we brought nearer
than at least a quarter of mile
and that OH the front.
From citizens of Asheville we
learned that Mr., Vanderbilt and
family are not favorites in this
section, No public enterprise re-
ceives an impetus from their bene-
factions, and socially the owners
of Biltmore do not mingle at all
with their neighbors, The best
citizens of Asheville are not al
lowed to visit at the mansion and
no courtesies pass between its
owners and the other people of
this section.
For the Vanderbilts, money is
spent lavi S hly. The little
church was built,
furnished with fine pipe organ, a
choir and a rector at the expense
of the owner of Biltmore. We did |
not learn whether any persons
except the family were allowed to
worship there.
1t is rumored that the estate is
for sale, that its owner finds it an
exceedingly improbable invest |
ment into which all of his spare
cash has been absorbed for the
past few years. 1t is scarcely |
likely to find an immediate pur-
chaser. An effort has been made !
to reduce expenses by running |
dairy, that furnishes cream for the
ice cream parlors of Asheville and
Jersey butter for some of Ashe-
ville's people. A number of neat
little cottages at the Biltmore depot
are also advertised in the street
cars as for rent, furnished.
Terms reasonable. The entrance
fees to the estate must amount to
considerable for the tourist who
visit there reach into the thousands
each season. On those broad |
smooth driveways of the estate no
may travel, as Mr..
Vanderbilt will not tolerate one on
the estate. Plucking even a leaf
or blossom is strictly prohibited. !
The beautiful feathered fowls such
as. peacock, grouse, quail, turkey
as we'll as ali sorts of wild game
are the only favored guests here.
For no sportsman is allowed on the
place with a gun and rabbit,

Alleged Theft of an Island,

That the Dutch East Indian govern
ment has 'lfted" Pslmas Island, one of
the Philippines, and has its ruler in
charge of affairs, acting under the Dutch
flag, is the allegation made to the state
Department and the Bureau Of Insular
Affairs.
The State Department will take up
the matter at once with the Dutch gov
ernment and find out under what au-
thority Dutch representative pretends
to govern the American island.
Palmas Island is situated sixty miles
due east OF the Sarangsui Islands, and is
we'll within the Philippine limits in
cludsd in the transfer from Spain to the
United States. 1t is small, fertile, and
highly cultivated island, the inhabitants
speaking dialect somewhat resembling
the language of the Manobes, but pre-
senting many of the characteristics OF
the Oceanic people.
In his report to the War Department,
Gen. Wood says that Dutch ships have
been making voyages to Palmss for the
last fifteen years, and that apparently
there has been a gradual assumption OF
authority over the people.
Active measures will be taken at once
By the State Department to adjust the
matter with the Dutch government.

French Catholics.

The projected statutes OF the League
OF French Catholic, now being organ
lied with the object of forming cultural
associations to take over church property
in defiance of the Pope's refusal to recog-
nize the church and state separation law,
specifically pledge faithfuluess TO the
doctrine Of the Roman Church, declar-
ing that the members remain and intend
to remain attached TO the religion of
their forefathers, believe 10 the dogmas
taught by the Roman Catholic Church
as defined by the ecumeuical councils
and the bulls of the Holy See AMI pledge
themselves, when placed in possession OF
the church property in the parishes, to
ask the bishop of the diocese to provide
for carrying on public worship.
Minister of Public Worship BRAND in
Paris yesterday published list of the
associations to which church property
thus far has been actually surrendered.
1t shows that Two Catholic, one Jewish
aud 40 Protestant associations have
complied with the requirements OF the
law.

are paid as high as S. a day for wheeling

Appeals by The Marine Corps to the
San Francisco police were futile. The
policemen refused to arrest marines who

Three Hugs Cost Ss25.

A big, good-natured.looking man,
dressed in q white waistcoat. who de-
scribed himself as w. w. Wheeler, OF
Boston, staying at the Hotel Wolcott,
New York, took walk on Broadway
yesterday morning, which, while not
very long. cost him 1926. At Thirty
first street and Broadway he was aston
lshed when little woman embraced him
in most violent and clinging-fashion.
Mr.. "Wheeler" induced the young
woman to forego her caresses. Then he
passed on to the next corner, where an
other young woman acted in similar
manner. At Thirty-fourth street a third
did likewise. BY that time he was lost
in wonder at the affection OF the three.
He determined that he must be most
attractive man or the women would not
have acted that way. He put bis hand
to his shirt front to give bis $400 diamond
stud little appreciative pat and then
discovered that it Was gone. A great
light begao to break in on him and he
felt quickly for his right hip pocket, in
which he kept his wallet. The wallet
was there, but companion stone TO the
stud, also valued at $4O0, and S25 in
cash had disappeared.
According to the hotel registere no
such man as "Wheeler" was stopping
there, but man from Boston, who hap
pened to be in the station house when
the case came 10 the attention of the
sergeant, said that "Wheeler" bore a
striking resemblance to very well-to-do
shoe manufacturer who has place in
Lynn and another in Brockton.

ages for the death Of her husband and
$500 for the death Of her son. Cassldy's
five small children, Albert Walter. Ivy,
Maude Jane and willard. are also made
plaintiffs in the suit, which IS brought
in thei~ behalf by their mother.
The Cassidy killing was one Of the
most sensational that Kay county has
experienced IN recent years. The Cas-
sidys had been tenants OF Morris farm
eight miles northeast OF Newkirk Hc
had ordered them TO vacate and they
moved On the place a few days before
the killing but had returned on that
day to get their cattle Morris objected
to their taking the cattle until they paid
rent which he claimed 20 be stin due.
The killing was the outcome Of the
quarrel which followed.
There were no witnesses TO the killing
and Morris gives the only account to be
obtained, except from circumstantial ev-

knife ana the son with a revolver. and

Walter Cassidy the 13-year-old son Of
the dead man. left the scene Of the muir

father was in his hayrack about thirt'
