Beautiful Home For
Flora And Fauna

Mr.. S. J. Jus tice, ofthis city,
returned recently from the noun
tains of Transylvania and Jack
son counties, where he has been
engaged in laying OUT the di-
mansions for an artificial lake for
Hon. E. M. Backus, a New York
capitalist, who is locating a game
preserve, or, putting it in the
language of Mr.. Backus "a home
for the birds, insects, animals
and flowers"
The lake will cover about
twenty-five acres of a pretty lit
tie valley near the summit of
the majestic Blue Ridge range of
mountains, so near in fact, that
the water, which is to form the
lake will be diverted in a
subway through the mountain
george from its natural course
toward the Mississippi and sent
rushing on its wayto theAtlantie.
The dam will be twenty-eight
feet high affording fifty feet of
water for boating and fishing.
A number Of rustic cottages have
already been constructed on the
proposed preserve and an inpos-
ing edifice issoon to be erected
for the accommodation of touriss
and sight-seers. When com
pleted the place will be a dream
of beauty and attractiveness.
Mr.. Justice says game is plenty
full up there and some rattle
snakes are to be found. also.
He assisted in lassooing" one
of the latter, on his recent trip,
and left said reptile safely con
cealed in a box. A proper place
for it.

BACHELORS HOLD CONGRESS.
Men Who Fear 5Ia:rimony Not
Afraid of Syveethearfs.

Milan. Jan. 25.-The fifth annual con-
Rress Of bachelors has taken place near
Padua. It was promoted by an associa-
tion OF men who have sworn never to sub
NIT 70 the yoke Of matrimony. There are
400 members Of the association. among
them being many Italians settled in
America.
Several hundred bachelors attended the
congress. and the proceedings showed
that If the members are opposed to the
bondage of matrimony they DO not con-
slider that their oath compels them to
hold entirely aloof from female society.
They fear. indeed. that a certain gov
ernment bill might in special cireum-
stances, compel them 20 marry their
sweethearts. and, accordingly, one of the
principal decisions Of the congress was
that the association should strenuously
oppose the contemplated legislation.
Furthermore, It was decided to establish
a so-celled salvage fund, destined for
helping and distracting members who
might be inflicted with iaclinauons to
ward matrimony.
