The village of Rhinebeck. " Y, near
Poughkeepsie, has drawn attention to a
certain tendency toward landlordism o..
the part of the wealthy idle class in
America by taking action to limit the
private estate of John Jacob Astor. As
tors estate, which already comprises
2,5o0 acres and touches the village boun-
dairy on two sides, was about to be ex-
tended by the purchase of another large
farm, when a wealthy resident of the
town bought the farm, with the avowed
purpose of checking the further extension
of Astor's property. The purchaser has
formed a BODYBUILDING syndicate, with
the intention of placing the contested
tract of $50 acres at the disposal of small
homeseekers, part of it to be reserved
for public use. In the last few years Mr..
Aston has destroyed at least twenty-five
dwelling houses. has exterminated one
village. and disposed of several public in
situations. in order to create an extern
eive private park, or hunting ground.
The property is known as Ferncliff. and
Astor's intention is to extend it to 10000
acres. Much of the land bought up now
lies unused. awaiting the perfection of
the larger scheme, thus tending 10 restrict

AN UNDERGROUND GARDEN.
Indiana Man Proposes to Make Coal
Mine Produce Vegetables.


Col. Frank b. Posey. who during last
winter experimental with an underground
garden in an abandoned coal mine near
Boonville, Ind. says that before another
winters winds blow he will have his gar
den producing radishes, onions, tulips,
habiscus and numerous other vegeta hleS
and flowers.
He declares that he has already dem
onstrated that mis- underground garden is
a success and not merely a dream. This
fall he will begin developing his plan on
a large scale and proposes TO have gar
den truck for his own table and the
tables of his neighbors and friends, all
to be taken from the mine garden.
The plan of this garden presented it
self to Col. Posey two years ago when
he. together with Attorney W., u. Ben
nett of Boonville. bought up several hun
dred acres of hilly and broken land near
the little town of Yankeetown. 1t is on
this land that the mine is located. lie
believed that plant life would thrive I'M
der artificial light, and said so. Then
he proceeded to prove his theory and did
it by producing tulips and carnations,
uOullSutu anu DiOouitu III tue
den he laid out in the old mine.
In one of the old rooms of this aban-
doned mine Col. Posey arranged bed
for the plants. The plants needed light,
so he arranged small acetylene gas lamp
so its rays would fall evenly over the
bed. Within a short time flowers were
growing rapidly, and in less than half
the time usually required for such vegeta
ton to bloom. Col. Posey's dream was
realized, and he was giving away flowers
to his friends in midwnter.
An acetylene gas plant large enough
to supply light for an ordinary dwelling
will be installed in the mine and the
lights so arranged that they will distrib-
ute their rays equally over the ground il
which the plants are growing. Mr.. Posey
says that he will raise radishes, onions,
lettuce and other vegetables and various
kinds of flowers during the next winter.

REVOLT In PORTUGAL
ONE HUNDRED ARE KILLED IN
RIOTS.
Mobs Fight to Dethrone King
Carlos, but Soldiers Cut Down
MISREPRESENTATION Hurl Bricks
and Boiling Water.

Six hundred rioters were shot and
perhaps 100 were killed in street con-
fiicts between mobs and government
troops in three northern towns Of
Portugal. The dissatisfaction is spread
ing to the army and reports from
Oporto advise the War Department Of
the mutiny of six battalions of ar
tillery. Conflicts are numerous all
over the nation, and strenuous efforts
are being made by the authorities to
quell the uprising against King Carlos.
Fired on by the troops, hunted down
like rabbits through the narrow streets,
and finally pursued by cavalry which
rode down men, women and children
Unfortunately, many are dead and
wounded in the three northern towns
of Braga, Villa Real and Wanna Do
CASTILLO. The mobs paraded the streets
shouting Down with absolutism," and
decrying King Carlos for his attempt
to rule the country without Parlia-
ment.
Soldiers sent to dispense the rioters
were attacked by stones, bricks and
other missiles. They replied with vol
leys which stretched scores of the riot
ers in the streets. This did not quell
the mob entirely, however. Persons in
houses continued to lombard the troops
with stones, while hot water was poured
on them. Angered beyond all control,
the soldiers began firing again, shoot
ing down persons like rabbits as they
fed. Cavalry rode down every person
who could be found.
The large cities are practically under
martial law and armed bands of peas
ants and workmen parade the streets
intin 'ating women and children and
attacking the police wherever they try
to offer any resistance to the progress
OF the rioters. The troops only are able
to awe the dissatisfied, and the indica.
tons that mutiny has honeycoInbed the
army with sedition and treason are be.
coming more evident every day.
King Carlos, surrounded by an army
of his most faithful followers. has
planned for rapid escape in case the
crisis becomes too great, and steam is
kept up continually on the royal yacht
which is manned by English sailors
who are faithful to his cause.
