BEREFT OF ITS GLORY
Famous Peacock Mansion, Once
Elaborate Show Place, May
Become Apartment House.

The Peacock mansion, the most
elaborate show place castle ever built
by a Pittsburgh millionaire, is drag
ging its feathers in the dust. Aban-
doned by its family, and denuded of
its strange and splendid collection Of
furniture, tapestries and art objects,
speculation is rife in that city as to
what will become of the house that
was built to outrival all other million
aires homes by the man who got into
the good graces of Andrew Carnegie in
his heydey by selling him historic
plaids.
1t was when Alexander r. Peacock
cashed his Carnegie steel stock, which
the canny ironmaster-in generous
mood-had bestowed upon him. Corey
and Schwab, prior to the formation of
the United States Steel corporation
that Peacock found himself with $20,
100000
The accepted manner in those days
for new Pittsburgh millionaire
there We're 40 of them-to show his
standing in the community was by
building a house. Peacock outdid Gus
tom. He set a house-manson-castl
building record. He bought couple
of city blocks and upon one of them
proceeded to erect a house that had
all the vagaries of architecture from
the classical Doric to the Queen Anne
and comprised all building materials
from Carrara marble to American
brick
Pittsburgh marveled. A hundred
horses were kept. Everything was
conducted on an elaborate scale.
Peacock, the man who in selling his
toric Scotch plaids to Carnegie made
such an impression that Carnegie put
him to work selling steel, did not lack
for ideas. He adopted the peacock on
field vert as his coat-ofarms. The
Pittsburgh-made coat-ofarm stares
forth from every part of the house, set
in mosaic, carved on the furniture and
painted in windows.
The mansion is now for sale. 1t is
said price of less than a fifth of its
original cost would take the outfit
peacocks and all. A public auction be-
reft the house of most of its furnish
ings, and most of the trinkets went
for Il song.
One report says the mansion. may be
converted into an apartment house.
At any rate. gone is the glory of the
Peacock palace the pride of Pitts
burgh in its pristine growth Of mil
lonaires.

!. S. ASSOCIATION
TO MEET IN SNOW HILL

The Worcester County Sunday
School Association will hold its reg
ular monthly meeting Wednesday
evening. February the first, at seven
thirty o'clock, in the Methodist Pro-
tcstant Church of Snow Hill. The
ministers of Snow Hill have very
kindly consented to give over one
prayer meeting night each month for
a union meeting to discuss and plan
the subjects and problems of Sunday
School work. Thus are we at last TO
believe that a new era for the Sun
day Schools of Worcester County is
about to open at the forthcoming
meeting, the Rev. w. S. Kreger, ID. d.,
Phi. D., Pastor of the Mackenzie Me-
mortal Presbyterian Church of Snow
Hill, will speak on the subject: "Some
Essential Elements in Bible Teach
ings." DR.. Kreger is acknowledged
TO be one of the leading Biblical
scholars of the Eastern Shore, and no
teacher will want to miss hearing so
vital theme discussed by one who
is exceptionally able to handle it.

BIG LOSS OF ENTIRE
STOCK OF CATTLE

Thomas Bryan, one of the largest
dairy cattle owners near Chester
town, has been informed that every
one of his fine herd of dairy cattle,
consisting of 81 head, is affected
with tuberculosis. and must be sent
away or be killed. He submitted his
cows to the inspection by a State
veterinarian, who found almost his en-
tire herd to be affected.
Mr.. Bryan paid $1,000 for four of
these cows and the remainder are val
uc,i in proportion. &c: The h:s:
priced cows he will receive only
about one-third of their value, while
he will lose heavily to purchase an
entire new herd and begin all over
again the fine business which the
cows were bringing him.
Many other farmers in the county
are likewise hit by the inspection, and
it is estimated great deal of money
will be lost before the inspection is
completed. The question of money
counts but little when the mater of
health is at stake and by such eradi-
cation the health authorities hope to
stamp out Observation-Disclosures News.

SAY PURE BREEDS
WILL BEAT ORDINARY

1t is the concensus of opinion of 500
growers of purebred and grade live
stock who were questioned by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture that the purebrcd sire is from
10 to 400 per cent better than the
ordinary sire. This applies to all
classes of live stock Many of the
men who replied TO the departments
QUESTIONABLE gave figures and speci-
fic instances to back up what they
had to say regarding the remarkable
Improvement effected in relatively
shore time.
In reply to the question as to the
value of their example in inducing
others in the community to take up
improved live stock most of these
farmers and breeders said that they
had been the means of starting at
least two or three, and one man who
had been raising purebreds for 40
years said he had influenced every
man in the neighborhood.-B. A. |.

POULTRY RAISERS ARE
URGED TO GRADE EGGS

To encourage the grading Of eggs
by the poultry raisers Of the State
the Maryland State Poultry Associa-
ton, at a meeting of the board of
directors and the legislative COM
mittee held yesterday afternoon in
the Rennert Hotel, voted to organize
market bureau which will market
the eggs of the local branches Of the
association.
Under the plan suggested by the
association the eggs will be graded
according to size, il il is desired, the
date when the eggs were laid will
be stamped on them. While eggs of
the first grade, weighing "a ounces
to the dozen and strictly fresh, may
sell at price slightly more than the
ungraded eggs sold today, the GUS
toner will know that the eggs he is
getting are the best on the market.
All poultry organizations within the
State are being requested to join the
move.
The legislative committee, headed
by former Senator Wade II. ID. War
field, intend to appear before the
Legislature and request that some of
the State funds for agriculture be
used in the development of the poul-
try industry in the State. Last year
the State produced S10,79S, 096 worth
of poultry products, so that the in
dustry ranks as one of the largest
branches of agricultural activity in
the State.
II has not yet been decided what
form the associations request for
T lnds will take.

ROADS SUFFICIENT TO
ENRIRCLE THE EARTH

What the new Federal highway
appropriation to be expended under
the direction Of the Bureau Of Pab-
lie Roads. United States Department
of Agriculture, will mean to the
country is accurately gagged in a
synopsis prepared by the bureau,
showing the use to which the $275,-
100000 previously appropriated by
Congress has been put. Up TO De-
cember 81, $2l2,077,246 had been put
to work in projects either entirely
complete or under construction. To
match that amount the States appro-
priated S2S5 ,379,312, making total
of s497, 456,55s.
If placed end to end the roads TO
be paid for by this money would en-
circle the earth at the Equator and
extend as fas as from New York TO
San Francisco on the second lap. The
total mileage of roads under construc-
ton and completed, the departments
records show. was approximately
$1,000 miles. OF this mileage 9,555
miles was in projects entirely COM
pleted. The balance of 17,I45 was in
projects which are still under con-
struction but reported 50 per cent
complete October 81. In those pro-
jects there was the equivalent of ~
900 miles of completed roads, so that
the completed road to date was more
than 2l.000 miles, or nearly enough
TO encircle the globe.
Prior to years ago the Federal
Government took no active part in
the road construction of the country.
Today about one-half of all roads
under construction are being aided
financially by the Federal Govern
ment, and the construction is subject
to inspection and approval of Federal
engineers.
