BIG MEN AT PLAY.
VACATION SCHEME PLANNED BY
NEW YORK MILLIONAIRES.
Gould’s $1,000,000 Cottage—Dr. Sew
ard Webb Matches It With a White
Marble Summer Home.
Do big men ever play? Yea,
verily. The bigger the man the
greater the fun he gets out of life.
Chauncy M. Depew has just com
pleted his arrangements for two
month’s vacation of rest and rec
reation. And here is how he is
going to enjoy himself. He has just
purchased a very handsome summer
residence in Ardsley Park at Irwing
ton on the Hudson. The mansion
cost in the neighborhood of 850,-
000, about one-half of Dr. Depew’s
annual income. Dr. Depew is fitting
up the new summer home to make it
one of the coziest of the many lovely
places along the Hudson. This Ards
ley Park was laid out by the late
Cyrus W. Field when he was in the
zenith of his success. Mr. Field
loved his family dearly, and it was
his wish that they should all live at
this beautiful park. He built houses
for his sons and daughters, and spent
nearly 8300,000 on the place. It was
originally 1,000 acres in extent, but
soon dwindled through forced sales
when misfortunes came thick and
fast, and at the time of Mr. Field’s
death only about one-third of the
original estate remained. He is going
to lay out the grounds according to
his own ideas of landscape gardening
and spend a small fortune in im
provements.
SUPERINTENDENT BYRNES BUILDING
A BOAT.
That world-famed police official,
Superintendent Thos. Byrnes, takes
time to get his full quota of enjoy
ment out of life. He takes his pleas
ure in a very democratic way. Down
at Red Bank, N. J., he has a very
pretty cottage, not a mansion by any
means, but the prettiest little home
imaginable. Here Superintendent
Byrnes will spend about six weeks
this summer. He is an ardent family
man, and when with his wife and
children ho leaves all the worry of
the great, police system of New York
behind him. He is one of the best
preserved men for his age in New
York. He takes long walks in the
country with his children, varying
with carriage rides and sails on the
Shrewsbury river.
He is having built in a Brooklyn
yacht yard a boat, not a palatial
steam yacht or a Volunteer, but a
trim twenty-foot catboat that will
outrace anything in Jersey of its
size when the Superintendent is at
the helm. This boat the police chief
takes great pride in, and he is look
ing with genuine pleasure to the day
of the launching and the racing on
hot July afternoons on the Shrews
bury. He has become a member of
the Shrewsbury Y r acht Club, and
will don the club uniform for the
first time on July 2. His new boat
will take part in this club’s races,
which are inaugurated at that date.
CARL SCHURZ ON HUNTING BENT.
That shrewd and able statesman,
Carl Schurz, is an enthusiastic
hunter. He is not the kind of a
hunter so often found in New York
who goes down on Long Island and
shoots snipe and then talks about
bear killing.
When Mr. Schurz wants to hunt he
gets down his rille cases and goes
west to the Rocky Mountains.
There he shoots big game, deer
and bear, and occasionally brings
east the feet of that very wily ani
mal, the white goat that frequents
the topmost crags of the Rockies.
He is now planning a two months’
hunt in Colorado and neighboring
States. He will be one of a party
of well known men, members of the
Boone and Crockett Hunting Club,
who are going to spend July and
August in hunting big game.
Accompanying Mr. Schurz will be
Nir. Theodore Roosevelt, the civil
service reformer, and several wealthy
New Yorkers.
“Six or eight weeks of roughing it
among the Rockies will build up any
man with a constitution weakened
by overwork,” said Mr. Schurz.
Henry Villard the financier, who
has been making things
for foreign potentates who visited
New Ygrk during the recent Colum
bian celebration, is planning a very
novel sort of pleasure. He will send
out an exploring expedition to South
America at his own expense. 'Phis
expedition is in charge of a scientist
and antiquarian and a mammoth col
lection of curiosities is to be gathered
from the Southern country. Mr.
Villard will go to San Diego, Cal.,
the starting point of the expedition,
in a few weeks. He will take in the
World’s Fair and then go io Europe
for an extensive tour of the Conti
nent for his summer vacation.
mr. Vanderbilt’s private train.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, although a
man of millions, is one of the hardest
worked men in the country. His
vast railrood properties require con
stant attention, but he is ably assisted
by Dr. Depew. Mr. Vanderbilt is
going to take his vacation this year
via Chicago. He is now having fit
ted up the most palatial train ever
built, and cost is not to be con-
PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER. ATLANTA. GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1893.
sidered. There will be eight cars
and an engine that is expected to
beat all records. It is Mr. Vander
bilt’s intention to make this train the
fastest in the world, for it will carry
to Chicago, besides the Vanderbilt
family, a score of members of the
English nobility. In this select par
ty of money kings and noblemen will
be Cornelius Vanderbilt and family
and Mr. Depew and family, Frederick
Vanderbilt, the Duke of Manchester,
the Duke of Aberdeen, Major-Gen
eral Herbert, Sir Tatton and Lady
Sykes, the French Ambassador, M.
Patenotre, and Sir Julian and Lady
Paunceforte, and a few more equally
distinguished.
Mr. Vanderbilt’s private train will
make the run to Chicago in twenty
hours or less. After the exposition
is fully inspected the Vanderbilt
train will make a tour of the country,
visiting the principal cities of the
West, then going to Mixico and re
turning to New York byway of the
South.
The finest French chef procurable
will command the culinery depart
ment of this train, the entire party
dining aboard the cars. They will
be enabled to get far better fare at
Mr. Vanderbilt’s table than in the
best hotels outside of New York.
An entire car will be given to the
chef for bis supplies. There will be
a dining car, a library car, a car for
music and for smoking ; another will
be used as a drawing room and the
rest are for sleeping and baggage.
The Vanderbilt party will be away
about two months, and on their re
turn will go to Newport for the
balance of the season. So this is
how one of our money kings will en
joy himself this summer.
GEORGE GOULD’S MILLION DOLLAR
COTTAGE.
Another one of the men of mil
lions, Mr. George Gould, is going to
spend his vacation in quite a dif
ferent manner. Mr. Gould has
worked very industriously since his
father died, and will soon go to his
cottage m the Adirondacks for a
little hunting and fishing. Then he
will move his family to the palatial
summer home Jay Gould built at
Irvington-Hudson. So, for the first
time, Mr. Gould will live at this
magnificent place with its million
dollar conservatories, as its master.
’Here he will stay until autumn.
Both George and Eddie Gould are
I expert horsemen, and there are
i fine horses in the Gould stable now.
i So “the Gould boys,” as they are
still called by the old-timers in Wall
street, will have every opportunity
to enjoy themselves this summer.
Eddie Gould is a very enthusiastic
sportsman. He will spend a couple
of weeks hunting in the Adirondacks
with a party of friends from the
Seventh regiment of New York. He
enjoys himself in a manly way, and
is not at all dudish in appearance or
manner. He can fire a rifle as well
as any man, row a boat or handle a
yacht, and is a good all round athlete
of middleweight. But above all he
is a gentleman.
DR. WEBB’S WHITE MARBLE SUMMER
HOJIC.
Dr. W. Seward Webb, son-in-law
of the late William 11. Vanderbilt,
with vast railroad interests, has set a
good pace in vacations for million
aires. He is a good example of a
married man who is taking enjoy
ment out of lite in a 'wholesome
manner while there is yet time. He
is a business man, too, being presi
dent of a palace car -company and
president and director in a score of
railroads and corporations. He is
now building a palatial summer home
of white marble in the Adirondacks
where he owns an estate of several
thousand acres. This estate is his
hobby, and he is building a residence
that will cost before completion s>l,-
500,000.
Just? now Mr. Webb is taking his
vacation in a tour around the United
States in a palatial train of cars.
For comfort and magnificence this
mansion on wheels now used by Mr.
Webb has never before been ex
celled. His party is twelve in num
ber and they travel in six cars. There
is a state-room car to be occupid by
the guests, private car to be used ex
clusively as a play room for the chil
dren, a private car for the use of
Dr. Webb and his wife, a car to be
used as a library, sitting-room and
music-room, a dining-car, and the
sixth a baggage-car. The Webb
party will be gone two monts, during
which time they will visit the Word’s
Fair. After their return to New
York they will go to the Adiron
dacks, where Dr. Webb will have a
jolly time fishing, riding and hunt
ing. He is a good sportsman.
JEFFERSON TO REBUILD “CROw’s
NEST.”
Now, here is another successful
man, a great artist, Joseph Jefferson.
Does he enjoy himself ? Indeed he
does, and right royally, too. He has
taken a good long vacation each year
as far back as he can remember and
to-day is earning from 875,000 to
8100,000 for a single brief season’s
work. Mr. Jefferson has been
spending the greater part of his leis
ure time at Buzzard’s Bay, Mass.,
where he owned a tine home. Re
cently he suffered the loss of this
home and a 850,000 collection of
curios by tire. It was here that
President Cleveland spent last sum
mer with Mr. Jefferson. There is
still doubt in the minds of the
friends of both men as to which
made the biggest catch of fish during
the summer. Both are famous fish
ermen and both spent many days
with hook and line patiently waiting
for victims.
Mr. Jefferson says he will spend
his summer at Buzzard’s Bay plan
ning a new house to cost about $50,-
000. He expects it will be com
pleted in October. He is going
South for a hunting trip. He owns
an island off the coast of Georgia
and a sugar plantation. He will
spend some weeks there, also.
The belief that our most success
ful men can’t find time to enjoy
themselves to their heart’s content is
a mistake. We may be a nation of
feverish money-getters, lightning
calculators, and all that, but when we
go in for a good time it looks as
though at least a few of our best
known men get it.
Gold and Wheat.
St. Louis Republic.
The combination which has been
operating to bull the price of gold is
meeting with a success that is indi
cated by the decline in wheat., in se
curities, in all values measured by
gold and by the contraction of credit
on the basis of final settlement in
gold.
An increase in the price of gold
means a decrease in the price of grain
as well as of all speculative securities,
if these commodities are measured as
they are now, in gold.
It is easy to see the connection be
tween the increase in the price of
gold and the decrease in the price of
other commodities incident to it. It
may not always be apparent in the
averages for a single year, but in a
decade it forces itself on attention.
With a famine in Europe the de
mand for wheat may be so great
as to overcome the effect of the con
traction of the money supply, but as
soon as this cause for high prices is
removed, wheat falls at once to the
price fixed by contraction. Os course
there are many other causes which
enter into grain prices, but in a period
of ten years it can be seen that as
gold is forced up wheat is forced
down. We can get at this by com
paring both gold and wheat with sil
ver during the period since 1880,
taking the figures from the Statisticel
Abstract issued by the Treasury.
In 1880, when an ounce of gold
could be bought for 18.05 ounces of
silver (average annual price), wheat
was worth. 81.26 a bushel as the aver
age for the year. In 1881 the price
oi gold had been bulled to 18.16
in silver, but wheat nevertheless in
creased in price five cents a bushel
on the average for the year, and it
was not until the next year that wheat
showed as distinctly as it had been
showing it ever since 1873 that “bull
ing” gold is “bearing” the prices of
our agricultural staples.
In 1884 the price of an ounce of
gold bad increased from 18.05 ounces
of silver to 18.57, while wheat had
fallen to $1.17 a bushel. The next
year the gold manipulators gave a
sudden twist to the markets and sent
that metal up to 19.41 in silver—a
gain of over an ounce in the price of
gold in five years as measured by
silver. In the same time wheat had
fallen from 81-26 to 96 cents. With
various fluctuations this increase in
the price of gold has continued until
the present, and with related fluctua
tions wheat has gone down as gold
has been forced up. In 1892 the
bushel of wheat had lost over 36
cents as compared with the price for
1880, while the ounce of gold had
been bulled to a price amounting to
over live ounces in silver more than
could be got for it in 1880.
It will be said that though wheat
goes down as gold goes up, the ad
vance in gold of recent years has been
more rapid than the decline in wheat.
This is because extreme pressure is
being brought to bear through Gov
ernment policies here and in Europe
to increase the price of gold, and that
this pressure affects silver more than
it does any other article, though all
are affected by it. Silver is first to
show the success of the attempt to
bull gold, but everything else neces
sarily shows it in a greater or less
degree as the supply of the commodi
ty in question is greater or less than
the demand.
In a general way, the causes which
have governed prices in this country
since 1873 may be stated as supply
and demand, the effect of the protec
tive tariff and the movement to bull
gold by demonetizing silver. The
effect of the protective tariff is to in
crease the demand for gold, and thus
to increase its price as measured by
our wheat and other agricultural ex
ports, and this effect is supplemented
by the financial policy of demonetiz
ing silver and making gold the sole
money of final account in settlements
which call for coin. This policy com
pletes what has been begun by the
protective tariff in its effects on our
agricultural exports, while on such
commodities as speculative securities
it is most marked at times when those
who control the supply make a sud
den bull movement, as they have
been doing this year. This contracts
credit with great violence, and the
result is the demonstration of the en
tire inadequacy of the gold supply to
resist the manipulation which sud
denly forces vast amounts of the pa
per of private credit out of use as a
medium of exchange as the holders
of gold withdraw coin of that metal
or refuse to allow it to be used with
out inordinate restrictions.
The Treasury policy of the. Harri
son administration precipitated the
present stringency, and there is no
remedy for it except in a change of
thio policy. If the policy of using
the Treasury to bull gold by using it
to redeem silver, or, what is the same
thinthe notes issued on silver, could
be continued until the end of the ten
years, we would have wheat at least
ten cents lower than the abnormally
low price at which it is selling now.

It is unusual for a practicing physician to favor the introduction or sale
of Patent Medicines, but when an article of undoubted virtue and reliability
is brought to our notice, it becomes simply a duty to use it in our practice

WHAT THE MEDICINE IS.
Lingo’s Liver Medicine is a purely vegetable preparation, prepared by a
man of long experience. It is applicable in all cases where the ailment
originates from the Liver—Constipation, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Malaria, etc.
Unlike most liver medicines, it is, witji rare exceptions, free from un
pleasant effects following their use, such as nausea and prostration. Sick
headache, nervous headache, flatulence, heartburn, sour stomach and colic
yield rapidly to its’effects.
In conjunction with the various preparations of Chinconia, Arsenic, etc.,
it is invaluable in curing malarial diseases.
