ACKLAND ESTATE IS
 ID DE BROKEN UP
Has Been Considered Largest
 Estate in the South

New Orleans. La, Jan, ls,-The
 breaking uR of one of the largest
 estates of the Old south is about 10 be
 made complete with inc acquisition by
 ihe State of Louisiana of The eelehrats
 sd Aekiand plantation, which are 10
 he taken under the right Of ekpFapria- tian for state uses in connection with the convict farms, While the breaking up of the large estates in Great Brit ain Is a subject af frequent comment The division Of the largest estates Of
 the south has received little notice,
 The Aekland plantations were part of great estate which for many years
 had remained in one family. Prior tn
 the Civil War Colonel ]. A. E. Aek,
 land, the father of William Hayes
 Aekiand of Washington. n, C., was the
 owner Of seven plantations In one
 body on the Mississippi river. The
 plantations surround the Lake 0f the Cross where the explorer Lasalla and his priests planted the cross on the discovery of Louisiana, Besides his plantations Colonel Aekiand was the owner Of many thousands nf acres on Matagorda Bay, Tex: town house in the city Of Nashville. Tenn. and the largest stock farm in the south six miles from Gallatin. Tenn,
 In addition to these properties he began 10 build in 1855 two miles from Nashville, Tenn. what hc intended should be the most palatial private residence in America with ball room, picture gallery and seven eonserva- tories. and which bore the name Belmont after the place of Portia al | Padua. For many years Belmont was a show place and even known in Eur ope. II is said to have suggested the description of the home of Saint Elmo | in that once popular novel.
 After the death of Colonel and Mrs. l Ackland, Belmont passed out of the hands of the family. It was bought | by syndicate and became one of the most flourishing colleges for women in he south and was known as Ward Belmont College.
 As a result of the emancipation of lis HOO slaves, Colonel Ackland was inable to carry on the immense drain ng systems on his cotton plantations n Louisiana. The entertainments inown as levies which protected the and from overflow fell into decay and inally the advent of the ball weeyil ; made the culture of cotton so pre- arious that the land ceased to yield { .n income. t
 The state of Louisiana having the ( yhole convict system at it's disposal I vill restore the drainage system and V ebuild the levies.

VISALIA, Calif., Aug. 29-Discov- cry of new sequoia gigantea, which altho not so large in girth asGeneral Sherman or General Grant in the Se- quoia and Grant National parks is considerably taller than either is re- ported from the Bear Creek country south of Milo, Tulare county.

 According to Doyle the Lady Alice tree is thirty feet in diameter, six and one-half feet less than the Sherman tree and six feet less than the Grant, but stands 315 feet high, compared with 2S5 feet for the Sherman, long recognized as the largest and oldest of living things.

KING IF SWEDEN GETS
 INTERESTING L0VE NOTE

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Aug. 29.- King Gustav recently had a surprise and laugh when he opened his morn ing mail and found the following:
 Darling! Monday at 6. I will
 be at Odin's place. I shall wait
 until seven. But be sure and be
 there. Yours, Esther"
 After searching his mind as to whom the letter might be from, he made a closer examination of the en- velope and by that means solved the puzzle. It appears that the postmark on the stamp had obliterated half the address which should have been, "No 27, Mr. Svessen, H. M. King Gustav C." ....
 The Gustav c was the training ship to which "Esther's" sweetheart was attached and the letter had in some way been received by the king.
