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. ® rea t Many Children -<-havo been cured of scrofula E&l and other skin diseases —as K well as thousands of grown HSi . tv/people, by taking Dr. Pierce's Gqax Golden Medical Discovery. oqCl 1 Every disorder that can bo 'l-H reached through the blood, yields fACfTyU its purifying qualities.

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. Prepared by Dr. G. W. Durham. Address DR. G. W.
