This community Is in a state of intense indignation over the conduct of Dr. Metcalf, secretary of the State Board of Health, on account of an" interview with that official published In the Indianapolis Sentinel of the 18th, in which he charges the local health officers with negligence In the manner of their dealing with the smallpox cases in the western part of Fulton county. Dr. Metcalf 13 quoted as saying that a number of cases were not quarantined, that one patient, who died, lived near Rochester, and he wa3 burled in a barnyard under only about eighteen inches of dirt, and that the spread of the disease is due to the neglect of Dr. Irons, who is the secretary of the local board. The foregoing statements are incorrect, and there is absolutely no excuse therefor. The facts are that when the first case developed, in April, a vigorous quarantine was enforced against all persons who had been exposed, end the quarantine has been so successfully maintained that no other cases have developed, except those from the original exposal res. There have been no cases nearer to Rochester than twelve miles. All the persons afflicted are past the danger point and Improving.

WILL COST 10,000,000 PALATIAL ABODE OF GEORGE VAXDERDILT IN NORTH CAROLINA. The Mnlti-MIHIonnire to Have a Deer, rark of 30,000 Acres, the Whole Estate Comprising 100,000. Chirleston News and Courier. - George Vanderbilt has already spent ,- 000.000 on his new estate Biltmore, and it will take $3,000,000 more before It Is finished. If one has but a day to "tarry in Asheville he will endeavor to see something of this vast estate. It is about six miles from the heart of the city, on a good road, and there Is but little -difficulty in obtaining a pass that will give one access to the grounds. There was little of interest to see until the castle itself was in view, but while fording Swanannoa river attention was attracted by row upon row of an ordinary variety of trees, planted a few feet apart as regularly as though they had been measured with a tape line, says a letter from Asheville, X. C. Upon Inquiry It was learned that they were Mr. Vanderbilt's private nurseries, said to be the largest in the world.. They consisted- of between sixty and seventy acres, situated two and a half miles from, the mansion Itself. These nurseries were established at first merely with a vleyy to supplying trees and plants on Vanderbilt's place, but they have so grown uiMer the orders of Frederic Law Olmsiead, the world-renowned landscape architect, who showed such taste and skill In laying out the world's fair grounds at Chicago and earlier at Central Park. New Yoik, that Mr. Vanderbilt, who, despite his XMilIons. Is somewhat of an utilitarian and economist, ! as his truck garden and dairy farm already I snow, nas decided to turn them Into a commercial wholesale nursery after stocking his own place. There are annually grown in the nursery about one million of plants for the furnishing of roads laid out by the landscape architect, and in addition to this number there is an order for 2xj0.O00 forest trees for replanting denuded hillsides. More kinds of hardy wood plants are now In the nursery than can be found in any one similar place in the world. The total number of plants prcpapated at the Kiltmore nurseries up to March 10. 1S94. is 4,211.726. To obtain such immense quantities of plants and trees they are started from very small slips, and to look Into the propagating houses one would imagine they had planted by mistake a box of toothpicks. A GREAT ARBORETUM. Mr. Vanderbilt in his various travels has made it a point to study agriculture; it is said to be one of his hobbles. He has collected numerous photographs of different arboretums, which photographs were a valuable feature In that section of the North Carolina exhibit of the world's fair devoted to forestry. The arboretum is to be the largest in the world, and when completed will constitute an immense museum of living trees and shrubs, laid out in the form of a winding read twelve miles in length traversing all kinds and conditions of soil that will be required for the successful treatment of plants from all sources of the world that are at all likely to succeed in this latitude. The soil along the entire road of the arboretum is being chemically analyzed. The object of this careful analy sis is mai. wnen cnmoineii wnn tne meteorological records of this locality, the aftr rcr.'ilt?, either successes or failures, may be clearly traced to their origin. Nowhere e!.s In the worM has this ever been done, or If so It has never leen recorded. The road approaching the mansion is. indeed, a dream of beauty. For several miles It leads through the wildest end mo8t picturesque mountain scenery. Each side I of the rond H as hlerhly cultivated aa a rcsf garden, yet imitating nature so ierfectly that one would hardly suspect the hand of man. The ground Is completely carpeted with small evergreens and trailing vines, so that the view Is cne of unbroken verdure. In driving over this road one may see on either side specimens of above 8,000 plants. Several times a stream vas crossed which the moonshiners used to call Ram branch. This branch is spanned

by costly and artistic viaducts, each one of which has cost from $8,000 to S10.CO0. The scene gradually changes from wildness to one of a more pastoral nature, and as the traveler passes tnrough the clover meadows and rolling lands tr.e idei of ih designer may be plalny p:rc?iveJ, from wilderness to civilization, as the road approaches the house. There ar? to be h xty miles of such roads, all leidlng from the house In different directions. CASTLE ON A MOUNTAIN. After three miles of this delight the mansion was reached, the Mecca of all our anticipations. The color of the s'.one and the mansion standing against the blu of the mountains appears like a dream pa'ace. The iransion fronts east and is situated upja a level esplanade, 700 by COO feet, ma da' by cutting off the summit of a mounta'n and filling up the surrounding depression. A remarkable feature of the esplanade Js the retaining walls of stone sixteen fe;t in thickness at the base and ris ng at 'places to the hslght of forty feet. Around it bowline green, which Is at the sov;j end of the house, the wall Is surmounted by a breast-bUh coping of buiifully drsed stone. Ihls bowling green was whjt was originally intended fo- the tennis courtthat famous $20,000 .tennis court about which so 'much has been written. The hcuse is built In th style of the French renaissance and is mcd;led after the famous chatfau at Blols, France. It Is being built ahder the dire 't on rf the eminent architect. Richard M. Hunt, dtslg er of the administration buildln at thi wo Id's fair. T.ie material Is Bedford stons. They hsv'e already occupied three years in building, anl it will certainly take as many morj "to finish it, as the roo! ii not on and no interior work done. Mr. Vanderbilt 's certalnlv building himself a monument ht will "last through successive gensritlons t come. The solid mason. y and iron giid r preclude all possibility of fire, anl n-jthl g short of a second Pompeii could destroy it. There appears no rsason why It should not be standing thousands of years herce. . The largest rooms ar? the ban;u;t ha 1, Rita celling sixty-five fe?t hgh; sikn as large as an ordinary church and a library which is even larger. The libiary is at t.12 south end of the houe, and l.oks out on the bowling green. In It is a fl.-cplave of such size and .so construct d that a stairway, leading from thi guest chatr.bers above. B built down the crnt.-r of the chimney to what is ordlnaril the mantel riec?. but In this case is a iai:ei lar.d ng. from which stes reach the floor on ti.h:-r Fide. The necessity for such fireplaces Is plain wh:n it 13 known that Mr. Vanderbilt corns steam heat, which is to be used only in the servants' quarters, tae remtlndcr of ih3 house being heated by ope.i fireplaces, fu.d for which will be obtained from the estate. Off the library Is Mr. Vanderb It's den, the windows of which comma-d the thiecst views of the whols house. In the pi ins of the house one suite oJ. tzos wa marked 'Mr3. Vanderbilt," fr m which it rray bs inferred that Mr. VanderblH dots not intend remaining a bachelor all hl3 das. STAULE THAT IS A PALACE. The stable is so connected with the house that it is hard to tell where house ends and where stable begins, and is as beautifully built as any mansion on Fifth avenue in New York. The Interior is finished with white enameled brick, brought from Leeds, England, such as most people ate glad to have around their parlor flreplacjes. One hundred and fifty yards from the house !ind facing it Is the rampe douce, which means a gentle ascent. This is a double zigzag bricked dr'.veway against a grassy hillside, with steps in the mldd e suited to a horse's stride,' while It Is smooth on either side for wheel.-! to run along. Here and there are drinking fountains, nine In all. The Fpsce on the esplanade between rampe douce and the hou!e is to be filKd with magnolias and fountains, the ram;e douce forming a dark background for th? latter, so that when the western sun shines through the fountains It will cast rainbows on the lawn of the rami douce. Mr. Vanderbilt Is slid to have gained his ide from an old castle In Italy. Hut leyond all and above all man's work, all that vast wealth can uy. Is the ideal location, u location that gives a full sweep of valley and mountain, river and stream, pasture und meadow. Jti nt d sputtd when this great work is finished the result will be by far the finest residence In the United States, anl probably In the world. We return by way of t .e valley road, another beautiful macadam ioad leading from th? mmsljn to the farm house, where Mr. Vanderbilt stops when he comr-s on visits of Ins ectlon.

Two Xesntlvev, Klc. Detroit Free Press. It was a plain, every-day case of mutual admiration. He admired the girl and she admired him. It was much more than admiration; they were in love with each other. Of course one was more so than the other, for It cannot be otherwise, seeing that Cupid is born with one leg shorter than the other; but that is not an Insupeiablo obstacle to matrimony. If it were the marriage liconse clerk would be compelled to retire from business. So It came to pass that he proposed to her. That seemed natural enough, but when she burst into tears, he was greatly disturbed. "My darling." he exclaimed as she came to his arms, "what is the matter?" "I am so superstitious," she sobbed. "What has that got to do with your loving me as I love you?" he asked wonderingly. "Nothing, dear." she wept. "And you do love me, don't you?" "More than all the world: but I cannot marry you; at least, not now." "Why can't your he asked very tenderly. "Oh. I can't tell you." and she burst into a fresh flood of tears. For a long time ne coaxed and urged her to tell her fatal secret, and for a long time she resisted all his importunities. At last she yielded.
