BEAUTIFUL WOOTON.
A COUNTRY HOME OF TASTE AND
REFINEMENT.
Furnished by Mr. Childs for Family
Comfort and Rest—Lovely Autumn
Scenes About the Superb House and
Grounds—A Charming Little Pavilion
—A Highly Cultivated Farm.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
When Mrs. Cleveland was entertained hy
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Childs at Wooton,
near Philadelphia, last week, what
is perhaps the finest country place in
America.
The place has been in Mr. Childs’ posses
sion about seven years, and it has been
brought to its present state of l>eauty only
by incessant care and labor and the ex
penditure of a large fortune. It is intended
for comfort and beauty altogether, and,
•with these ends in view, it is kept up to a
very high standard. A large force of men
are employed
ALL THE YEAH ROUND,
and the expenditure in the form of current
wages, since the place came into Mr. Childs’
possession, has been about $125,000. None
of this money has come back to Mr. Childs
in any way, for nothing raised upon the
grounds is ever sold. The surplus is given
away, much of it going to the poor people
round about and in Philadelphia, and some
of it to further points.
To go to the place you get off at Bryn
Mawr, a fashionable suburb, about fourteen
miles out. Wooton is a mile and a quarter
away. If you do not care to go over in a
carriage you will find the walk any of these
fair autumn afternoons a delightful one.
Mr. Childs has laid a board walk nearly all
the distance.
The splendid extent of the place may be
inferred from the fact that it has a lawn of
sixty acres and a road front of a mile and a
quarter. A lodge, overgrown with vines,
guards the main entrance. Two streams
flow through the grounds, and several
acres are covered by a virgin growth of
trees. ,
THE RESIDENCE
is a comfortable one, with plenty of corners
and gables, and is cozy looking, rather than
ornate. It stands on the slope of a hill
which commands a broad view of the val
ley. The background beyond the lawn is
covered with trees. The house itself is en
tered by a massive mahogany doorwav, the
door of which is divided haif way up,
leaving the lower half to be closed as
a gate. To the door is attached a
large artistic bronze knocker. The
massivd proportions of the door convey at
once the idea of hospitality and protection.
The vestibule is laid with handsome Roman
mosaics. The style of the interior is at once
substantial, quaint and curious, but the
ornamentation and appointments convey
rather an appearance of solid comfort than
mere adornment and ostentatious display.
Every tiling is made subservient to the gov
erning thoughts of providing a simple home
which it was Mr. Childs’ Idea should be a
retreat for the family to which they could
go between summer and winter, and'which
would also be a medium between the elabo
rately furnished winter residence in the
city and summer retreat at Long Branch.
Inside superior taste and refinement are
visible as soon as you enter. No expense
has been spared to produce the most elegant
and comfortable getierul appearance, while
avoiding anything pretentious or tawdry.
The different rooms in the house are fur
nished with most exquisite taste and replete
with rare books, costly works of art, quaint
bric-a-brac, historical treasures anu precious
mementoes.
MRS. CHICDS’ BOUDOIR,
in which, owing both to her quiet taste and
delicate health, she spends a great deal of
her time, is exquisitely furnished in satin
and iace. There is a iavatory on each floor,
laid with marble, the bath tub and stands
inlaid with porcelain mounted with silver.
A great, broad oak stairway, made like the
exterior approach to a Swiss chalet, leads
up from the wide hall, which is also fin
ished in oak, and contains a great granite
fire-place, the mantel-piece having a*
curious-shaped clock in relief, the dial bear
ing the warning, Tetnpus fugit.
In a little autograph album which gener
ally lies on a cliiffonniere in the library are
the names of distinguished men and women
who have been entertained either at Woo
ton or Sea Cliff Villa, Mr. Childs’ placo at
Elberon. Many of the names are accompa
nied by bits of sentiment apropos of the
splendid hospitality afforded the visitors.
AMONG THE NAMES
which catch the eye in the rapid turning of
the leaves are those of the late Gen. Grant,
Christine Nilsson, Secretary Bayard, Hon.
Robert C. Winthrop. Ex-Secretary Hamil
ton Fish, Thomas Hughes, Canon Farrar,
Henry Irving, Duke of Sutherland, Lord
Rosso, Lord Rayleigh, the Lord Bishop of
Rochester, Sir Richard Temple, Mr. Wal
ter, M. P., of the London Times ,
Mr. Chambers, the Edinburgh pub
lisher, Herbert Spencer, Sir Stafford
Northeote, M. P., Paul DuChaillu,
Prof. Freeman, of Oxford. The Farmers’
Club also has beeu frequently entertained at
dinner at Wooton. It is one of the most in
teresting social organizations in the State.
It is composed of men of large wealth who
engago in farming for fun only, and pay a
good deal for their whistle.
On a brow of a hill stands one of the most
interesting features of the place. It is a tall
chestnut tree, with three trunks growing
from a common root. Mr. Childs has placed
a
CHARMING LITTLE PAVILION
up among the branches, to which access is
had by an iron spiral stairway. There on
summer Sundays and in late spring after
noons, when he comes from his office, Mr.
Childs sits and reads his papers or books.
From his perch he can catch a glimpse of a
large part of his grounds. Far down the
slope of the hill he can see his conservatories
filled with rare and costly plants. Beyond is
an orchard planted with orchard trees, and
across the way a “rosery” containing every
variety of rose. The rosery is one of Mr.
Childs' pet features, and in the early summer
mornings he frequently spends an hour or
two walking among the blooming plants.
He sends ruses to all parts of the country as
gifts to his friends. He is particularly
thoughtful of tiio aged in this resjiect, for,
says he, “the aged aro so soon forgotten by
the world generally.” Out in the woods is a
fernery, composed of stumps thrown to
gether in apparent confusion, hilt really
artistically arrangod, and covered with
growing ferns. Beyond this is a “rookery,”
over wliich water tumbles, coming again
into a placid lake, around which rustic set
tees are placed, forming a delightful loung
ing place.
The useful is just as thoroughly looked
after as the ornamental.
THE FARM
on the place is broud and highly cultivated.
The stables are equal to any in the country,
and in honor of Mrs. Cleveland’s visit, when
the Arabian colts presented to Mr. Childs
hy Mrs. Grant were, brought up, the stables
were neatly decorated throughout.
A flue herd of Jerseys, from which the
cow Helectej by Mrs. Cleveland was chosen,
are housed in a Idg stone tiarn. The spring
house, where pails of milk are always cool
ing, is a white uuartz building, siirinouMtssi

uiul the likeness la further earned out by
the circumstance that the milk-room is fur

CALIFORNIA’S CRAZE.
A Real Estate Fever that Affects the
Whole State —Wild and Senseless
Speculators all Around.
Prom the New York Herald.
Los Angeles, Sept. 13. —If the great
real estate boom which has been raging here
for two or three years could hold out an
other year all the land between Santa
Monica and San Bernardino, and between
Los Angeles and San Diego, would be cut
up into town lots, and sold to a raging crowd
at ten per cent, cash and the balance in six
months and a year. If it could last five
years more the whole State of California
would be laid out in town sites and sold;
for it is a curious fact that if you should
lay out a town on an inaccessible mountain
here just now you would find a thousand
men ready to buy lots, even before the sur
veyor's piats were ready.
The incidents of this remarkable real es
tate craze are sometimes very odd. An im
pecunious San Franciscan came here in the
nope that something would turn up for him
and made $1,700 in three weeks by getting
up early in the morning, or staying up all
night, to secure tbo first place in the long
line of buyers at some real estate sale and
then selling out his chances. An Eastern
visitor surveyed the wondrous scene, went
in and made the cost of his and his family’s
excursion to the Pacific and $15,000 besides
in a few weeks. Then, being a shrewd
fellow, he went out and went home.
“I’m in the doleful dumps,” said a resi
dent of this Southern country. “I shall
never forgive myself tor my stupidity.”
“What’s the matter!” be was asked.
“Well, I paid SII,OOO foi a piece of prop
erty two years ago, and like a confounded
fool sold it for #75,000 two months ago. Oh,
I could ram my head against a stone wall,”
he added, bitterly.
“But you didn't do so badly.”
“Badly? Good heavens! the fellows Isold
to have resold at a profit of $175,000. If I
hadn’t been a blamed fool I wouldn’t have
lost all that money.”
HOW “BILL” WAS SUDDENLY ENRICHED.
Coming down here from Riverside the
other day I overheard two men talking, as
everybody does, about real estate. ‘Tf it
hadn’t been for me Bill would have been out
in the cold on that land,” said one. “Four
years ago it was so worthless that he re
fused to [my the taxes on it. He felt poor
that year, and told the collector to take the
land for the two years’ taxes he hadn’t paid.
The land isn’t really worth anything, but
after all the taxes were less titan $25, and 1
coaxed Bill to pay them, and the other day
he sold out for $52,000.”
There are volumes of such tales, mostly
true, incredible as they sound, and a great
number of substantial fortunes have been
rAtlized by old residents, who bought land
years ago at $5 to $lO per acre, and, to their
own amazement, found men of late running
after them to pay SSOO to SI,OOO per acre for
the same land.
The boom began at Los Angeles between
three and four years ago. It has since then
extended to San Diego on the south, to the
Gorgonia Pass and farther even eastward,
and It has slowly spread, like an epidemic,
north wal'd, reaching and passing San Fran
cisco and Sacramento some months ago.
Wherever you travel between San Diego
and Sacramento real estate agents’ signs
seem to cover the country; new towns are
scarcely ever out of sight; the talk in the
cars is only of higher prices and of town
lots; land surveyors cannot put down stakes
and make plats fast enough, and farming
lands have gone up until many prudent
fanners reluctantly sell out their homes,
pocket their money and go down into Lower
California or up into the northern part of
the State to look for cheaper lands.
FARM LANDS S2OO PER ACRE.
“We can sell our wheat lands just now
for from $l5O to S2OO per acre,” said one
such man to me; “a good many of us have
sold out, because that gives us a good deal
of money, and I am going down to Ensenada
with some of my neighbors to see if we
can’t buy a big tract down there in Lower
California to settle ourselves on, at such
prices that we shall have some money left
in our pockets.”
Has the whole State gone crazy? A large
part of it certainly has. Of course there
are solid reasons at the bottom of the gen
eral rise in prices of land in this State. The
boom has been built up on these, as a card
house is built, on the solid liasis of the table
on which stands. Six or eight years ago
farming lands in California were really
cheap. In the San Joaquin Valley, in the
Los Angeles Valley, in some parts
of San Diego county and in other parts,
the lands were worth much more than their
market price. Moreover, their real value
was increased by the discoveries that have
been made in the last dozen years ot their
capacity and use. Many “dry lands” were
found to yield crops without irrigation.
The happy thought of a miner, that as a
tunnel driven into a mountain in the search
for precious metals always yielded water,
if men wanted water and not gold why not
drivo a tunnel? gave value to thousands of
acres of fertile soil which needed irrigation,
for farmers began at once to tunnel for
water. A wider and more accurate
knowledge of the qualities of soils and
the demands of certain kinds of fruit
trees gave special values to considerable
tracts. For instance, while the apri<-ot does
well enough as a garden fruit in some parts
of Europe, certain parts of California are
the only region in the world where this
fruit, so greatly used for canning, can be
grown and sold by the ton. Ask a French
or German gardner for a ton of apricots
and lie would think you crazy. Experiment
showed that wider areas were suitable to
the cultivation of prunes, apricots and even
the citrous fruits than had been supposed in
California, and thnt water was more abund
ant than any one twenty years ago believed.
EXCURSIONISTS AND THF BOOM.
Coincidently with these discoveries the
excursion system, which has been a great
success, brought thousands of people to Cal
ifornia of that class which has some leisure,
more or less ready money, and a shrewd eye
for business. A great many of these, en
chanted with the winter climate and seeing
that such a country is bound to grow,bought
lands, and the money they dropped out here
in the last four or five years was felt all
over the southern part of the State. The
reports of these thousands of excursionists
began to bring farmers and capitalists to
California in shoals.
Of course, all this buying, building and
improvement has brought a prodigious
amount of new money into what is still a
sparsely settled region. A Han Diego
banker reported here a few days ago that
his bunk held as deposits #IOO a head for
every man, woman and child in the place.
Probably not less than #10,000,000 of East
ern coin have flowed into Southern < 'alifor
nia in the last two years for investment. At
the same time population has rapidly and
greatly increased. Ims Angeles three
years ago hail scant #O,OOO
people; it has now fairly 50,000. Han
' Diego bad three years ago about S,000; it
has now about 13,000 —its own people claim
15,000. < Ither and smaller places iiave all
had a rapid increase. Nor is this abnor
mal —there is n large and sound increase in
imsiness, for a great many valuable
orchards have come into full bearing within
three years; the raisin culture has had a
vast and profitable growth; new grain lands
have been opened, tuid to these legitimate
matters must bo added the stimulus to bust
ness of the millions of Eastern capital stead
ily flowing in.
THE SOLID BASIS OF THE GRAZE.
That is to say, the huge and crazy specu
Ution hail a solid hose. When the “boom”

liiiiidred* of towns laid out, whan thousands
I I'jso money, as they presently must, and

ELECTRO-PLATE FOR THE DEAD.
A Rochester Inventor's Method of Pre
serving Human Bodies Forever.
From the Democrat and Chronicle.
The blinds ware closer!, but between the
slats could be seen a bright light. A knock
on the door brought out a cherry “come
in.” The sole occupant of the room was a
middle-aged man with a round, good
natured face and a pair of twinkling black
eyes. He was attired in overalls and blouse
of dark blue material. Around the room
on shelves were numerous queerly shaped
articles of glass and brass such as aro found
only in the laboratory. In one corner was
a small crucible and in another a bat
tery and bath for electro-plating. The
room gave evidence of being a chemist’s
shop.
“We have come to have you tell us about
your system of preserving human bodies
after death by electro-plating them.”
“Well, I hardly have the idea fully
worked out yet, but lain willing to tell you
about the scheme as far as 1 have gone.
Some months ago, while plating a piece of
brass, the thought struck me that human
bodies might be plated, and thus preserved
indefinitely. So I commenced to work it
up. I first took an egg and a piece of
steak. I put them in the bath and deposited
a heavy plate of silver on them. Then I
laid them aside and awaited developments.
Here they are;”
And he produced an egg that looked as if
it was made from silver and what seemed
to be a flat, irregular-shaped piece of the
same article. On close examination it could
plainly be seen that the last was a piece of
beefsteak. Every line was as perfect as if
it had boon just cut from a quarter of beef.
It had been plated for three months and was
not decayed a particle, and the egg was to
all appearances exnctly as fresh us when
first laid by some ambitious hen.
“I have plated many other perishable
things and in each case they have remained
intact from the ravages of time.
Here, for instance, is ft ham
sandwich. That was plated two
months ago. You can see that it is perfectly
fresh. Now I claim that human bodies can
Imi plated in the same manner that this meat
has, and thus be kept in their original shape
for years. Of course, it will be necessary
to prepare the body as it is prepared for
embalming. Then put in your silver, or
gold, or nickle plate, and then you have a
silver, or gold, or nickle, as the case may be,
statue of the deceased. The advantages of
this method are many. Instead of a pic
ture or a marble representation of your
dead relative or friend, you have a beauti
ful statue of him in gold. It can be mounted
on a pedestal and kept as long as you like.
Think of the advantages this scheme presents
to the public at large. All the national celeb
rities can be plated and kept for future gen
erations togazeataiul admire. Young men,
mark my words. It will bo but a few years
until this invention conies into general use
all over the world. Of course, there will be
prejudice to overcome, and I have no doubt
but that the scheme will be ridiculed at
first, but it will come into vogue some day,
sure as fate. lam now making some appar
atus on a larger scale, and intend to get a
dead body and experiment. Call and see
me in a few weeks, and 1 will show you the
result of my labors. I put a preparation of
my own in the bath, the secret of which
will be patented.”
From the Western Electrician.
The latest method of preserving the dead,
and one which is growing into popular fa
vor, is electro-plating. It is the application
of a perfectly eyen metallic coating to the
surface of the body itself by the same pro
cess as that which produces an electrotype
plate. The method is briefly this: The body
is washed with alcohol and sprinkled with
fine graphite powder to insure the perfect
conduction of electricity. It is then placed
in a bath of metallic solution containing a
piece of metnl to lie used; to this is attached
the positive pole of a strong battery; the
negative polo is applied to tne corpse and a
fine film of metal at once begins to cover the
body perfectly andevenly. This may be kept
up until the coating attains any desired
thickness. To this process there would seem
to be -no valid objection. In effect
it transforms the cofqjse into a
beautiful statue—form, feature, and even
expression being perfectly preserved. The
body being hermetically sealed within its
metal inclosure, merely dries up and as
sumes the aspect of a mummy. This method
obviates many objections which have been
urged against cremation, and at the same
time meets the wishes of those whose senti
ment, if nothing else, inclines them to favor
the ordinary way of burial. The feeling of
the desecration of the human form divine,
which its reduction to a handful of ashes
causes to many people is entirely done away
with, as no rude hand is Jaid upon
the once loved form. No change is brought
about in appearance except that face and
figure are covered with a shining vail,
through which the familiar lineaments ap
pear with all their well remembered charac
teristics and expression.
SENTIMENTAL THIEF NO. 1,482.
Finding a Watch and Not an Owner
He Gives It up to Inspector Byrnes.
From the New York Herald.
“I found tiiis watch and chain,’' said a re
spectable looking young man to Inspector
Byrnes yesterday, and he banded the chief
detective a lady’s fine gold watch mid rolled
chain.
“You found it ?” queried the Chief, as he
handled the trinket and gazed curiously at
the visitor.
“Yes,” replied the stranger. “The prop
erty lay on the bottom step of the Sixth
avenue ‘L’ station at Forty-second street a
few days ago when I picked it up. I kept
the watch hoping that a reward would be
paid for its return, but as it was not adver
tised brought it here.”
“It appears to me that I have met you be
fore ?” said the Inspector,
“Indeed 1” replied the visitor in a surprised
tone.
“Yes, and if lam not mistaken, on that
occasion, you were not returning a watch,
but ‘snatching’ one."
And the Inspector walked over to his cab
inet photograph album, and turning over
the jKinderou.s leaves halted when he came
to the phizzes of the light lingered gentry. ’
“I thought so,” ejaculated the Inspector,
while a smile of satisfaction illuminated his
countenance. “Ho wo have you here, Mr.
Number 1,482."
No. 1,482 was stamped on the photograph
of a clever pickpocket and thief which bore
the closest iiossible resemblance to the
visitor. The latter walked over to where
the inspector stood, and, after looking nt the
picture a moment, remarked quietly, “Yes,
that's my mug."
“And how is it you turn up here in this
role?” asked the Inspector as he again
turned to the gold wHtch and chain. "Do
you mean to say that you have reformed
and turned honest?’
"No, sir. That ain’t my lay. Chief; but
there is something in that watch that pre
vents mo from keeping it.”
“How is that?”
“Why, just look iuside and you'll see
what’s written there."
The inspector opened the dainty case and
saw inscribed, “Emma T. Carr, from her
father, July 28, 1870."
“Now I could only get a small sum on
that bauble,” added the visitor, “and por
icips the woman who lost it prizes it more
than anything in the world. I’d sooner give
up a thing like that, any day than ‘ring’
halt ii dozen l i"k>*r->.'' .
When Inspector Byrnes recovered from
his astonishllielit lie continued to fJllMilloii
the visitor until lie said he fell sutisn<sl the
man was telling the truth. Thau lie hid Ids
visitor “good day” and told him not to
“operate" on any of th city's thorough
farm or their next meeting might not lie so
pleasu nt.
"Well. I've had curious things happen In
this office,” said the Chief after his visitor
departed, 'Tint that fine 'takes the whole
c onfi*-temery ' I wonder what wIU turn
up next "
