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 by u domo, aim looking like a cathedral, uiul the likeness la further earned out by the circumstance that the milk-room is fur nished with stained glass windows. The water miming Into The sprang house Is '■aught in an Imiuunse scalloped sen-shell brought from China by the late Gen. Grant and presented to Mr. Childs. The conmun-' ton shell in set up on the lawn, and tilled with water for lards to lava in. "W<ston” Is nane*l after one of tins Duke o( Bucking ham's siatta in England Mr. Childs, when ftlinatd, was splendidly entertain'd there, ins I was so delighted with the place that b mud* up hta mind some day to piaasaa otto like It.

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” collapse* anti tin* l-rttom falls mt of the liiiiidred* of towns laid out, whan thousands I I'jso money, as they presently must, and I when town sites are again sold as agncul tural laud, and at reasonable prices, there will still Is* value, and great value, in Urn tin tiling lands of Calf forma Tlie rich soil, the varnsl climate, llpa capacity of tbeHtale to produce what no other Htata or no other ,s,untry in the world can produce In llv ’ -u)oo|i/Miitui'o with the same ease, certainly all this will remain, >ett at reasonable |>ri<>* | u is only fair to say this, for the speculation is m< wild and smmvW tkst the inaction is 1 likely to be also extravagant. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1887. 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 " Francb and lurksdl I'ntfMM nt (Kraus* M, CHEAP ADVERTISING.
