AMERICAS GREATEST ESTATE.

Millions on a Princely Home.
From 10 RrnaIMaY MAGAZINE

On the Blue Ridge mountains in North
Carolina, near the famous winter society
colony at Asheville, George w. Vanderbilt
has created one of the greatest estates in
America. He has turned mountain into
a home site. torn it down, blasted and
dug away a vast pyramid Of earth and
rock. at cost of million dollars: then
he told his engineers to go thousa nd
miles away and get enough limestone to
build a house on this cut off mountain a

WOMEN AS CITIZENS.
When and When Not They May Be
Naturalized in United States.

From III" New York World
There arc perhaps million women in
the United States who do not know
whether they are citizens or not, mainly
because they confuse citizenship with
the right to vote. American-bOrn women
abroad sometimes hesitate whether to de-
scribe themselves in official papers as
citizens. On the other hand. women who
are not citizens often apply to incorporate
social and charity organizations which
they may not legally do
Judge Adams of the United States dis
trict court has decided in the case of Har-
riet Rionda that the wife of an alien
cannot be naturaliZed. Her political status
follows her husbands. With this excep-
ton a woman may be naturaliZed as a
man is. though the Formally is seldom
undertaken except in Colorado. Utah. wy
omng and Idaho for voting purposes. or
in other states for business reasons.
Any woman born in this country or OF
American parents abroad is citizen
