H. T. Walker's Bed.
The Kansas City Star of f?widay

count of Col. D. B. Dyer's home in
thai city. It will be of great inter
est to Augustaus and The Herald re
produces it rs follows;
Co). Daniel Burns Dyer, of this city
and Augusta, Ua., pioneer, frontiers
man. capitalist, journalist, street car
magnate and public benefactor, Is
also a n antiquary of distinction, hav
ing furnished hlg palatial residence
on Independence Hoad, near Beau
mont, with one of the ran t collec
Hons of antiques in the West. .Mod
ern furniture has no place In inb
homo, the entire house being fitted
with beautiful old tables, chairs, desks
wardrobes, bedsteads and other nr
tides of an early day. Mere age
however. Is not the only Important
characteristic of Uilh furniture as
Colonel Dyer Insists that his antique!
must have intrinsic value as well
Most of the furniture Is of mahogany,
though row wood and other valuable
woods are abundant.
The house Itself Is as Interesting
a« Its contents, not because of Its
antiquity, but on account of Its as
sociations. It was constructed from
the materials of the Victoria Building
at the World’s Columbian Exposition
at Chicago, and the New York and
Louisiana buildings al tlio World's
Fair at Bt. Louis.
In a Reception Hall 70 feet Long.
Colonel Dyer's residence Is “one of
gigantic proportions, yet so complete
ly in It furnished that there Is no
semblance of scantiness anywbe.ro.
The reception hall Is seventy feet long
and twenty-three set wide with ceil
ings fifteen feet high. A fine scheme
of harmony Is manifest throughout
the arrangement of the rooms anil
tlwrtr furnishings and vaatness and
(doK&RCO ftr « two of the Impressive
characteristics. The drawing room,
library, living room, music room and
other rooms In the house correspond
In sire to the Immense hall and many
of the rare old. pieces of furniture
are eo largo tlmi they would look
strangely out of place In a home of
ordinary dimensions There are huge
tables, chairs and davenports of solid
mahogany and splendid old mirrors
extending from floor to celling. Most
of these antiques are leplete with his
toric associations and those Dial are
not have linked with them Incident*
of nnusual interest. Some of the fur
niture came from the Old World nnd
much of it once belong to celebrities
cf the earlier history of thin country.
A decoration in one of the rooms is

years old, that came from • palace

The World's
Base Ball
Championship
Well, the series of Iwise
bnll games for the cham
pionship of the world has
commenced, and the play
ers will make much money
by it.
In fact, they will each
receive quite a little
fortune; that is, they
will each receive several
thousand dollars apiece.
But the money will not
do them much good unless
they save it or a greater
part of it.
And it is said now-a
days that professional
ball players are much
more frugal than they
used to be.
It is the exception now
when such ball players do
not save their money.
And therein is a lesson
to each and every one of
us.
We should all save
money.
And when wo do, we
should keep it in a good
bank.

i proved by Queen Victoria was taken
Ito Chicago and put in place.
I The Victoria Building, at Queen Vic
toria’s request, wa:-, made up of re
; productions of her favorite portions
ol certain English palaces.
The paneling in the nail of the
Dyer residence, which extends to a
. height of ten loot, was secured from
'tuts building, as also was the grand
stairway at the end of the hall. Thin
stairway is an exact reproduction of
lone of the stairways in Haddon Hall
!in England. The library in the Vic
forla Building was taken apart in ,-oc
| tlons and put together again ’a a
room prepared for it l n Colonel I)y
--j or’* house, The room was so much
' larger than the library that wide
| spaces are left at the aides and
above The library is entirely of oak
and ihe walls consist of book cases
-extending to the beautifully paneled
! celling.
The dining room is wainscoted with
i oak to a height of about four feet, and
here and in the music room are tire
plaees of oak which are about ten
feet high, beautifully carved and with
deep recesses for brlc-a brae. In the
living room !h an alcove with a hood
ed fireplace with huge seats of solid
oak al the side.
A Chair From a Venetian Palace.
The furniture in the hall corre
sponds to the woodwork, being chiefly
of Flemish oak. One of the rarest
pieces here is an old chair token
front a Venetian palace, it is of uu
uttiul design, being very high, and Its
entire carved sides extend to the
Door, thus dispensing with the need
of legs. It was secured from the col
lection of Stanford White, the New
York architect, who was killed by
Harry Thaw. With it is a footrest
upholstered in handsome old brocade.
Other Interesting pieces In the hall
are two enormous bishop’s chairs,
each about seven foet high; a massive
mahogany chair of the Empire stylo;
teu beautifully curved Flemish chairs,
nnd an old hall dock. At. one aide of
the hail Is a great flier table, match
ing the paneling and having four
large, gracefully curved and richly
curved piers. From the ceiling are
suspended two huge lanterns contain
ing clusters of electric lights. These
acre made by Tiffany of wnat is
called burnt china, a kind of compo
sition, and are of unusual design.
They were made for the New York
Building al the St. Ixvuis World's
Fair.
A Yerkes Candelabra.
Standing noar the center of ono
! kl«l« of the hull is tt cadelabra of
j chin, hlx feet tall, which formerly oc

The drawing room is finished in
white. Out- side of this room Is
formed hy the front, of a French or
gan from Ujo Now York World’s Hair
building. What formerly was the
keyboard of (ho organ Is now a fire
place. This entire side of the room
is done In Morocco. On another side
of the room l,« a large mirror which
came from the home of Eads, the
famous bride builder. This mirror is
about fourteen foot highland is in a
frame of rosewood, richly decorated
with gold and black.penciling*. What
appears to be a piece of tapestry
used as a decoration on the wall of
this room is n* window shade very
old. twelve feel long, on which is
shown a landscape after the classical
school of painting:
An A. T. Stewart Chandelier.
A magnificent chandelier in tho
drawing room was once a part of tho
mansion of A. T. Stewart, the Now
York merchant prince. It consists of
twelve lamps and myriads of crystal
pendants. The principal furniture of
tin* 100 m Is a set of rosewood, up
holstered In old rose, tapestry, con
sisting of two Isrgo sofas and seven
chairs It belongs to the early Nine
teonth century period .am! Is deeply
carved In designs of grapes, pears
and other fruits. Among the other
seals here is a soft of the earl.' em
pire style, with carved anus end
shortened back. Several handsome
tables add to the beauty of this
room. One of these Is a mahogany
card table of the old fashioned type
with a folding top. Its logs arc hand
carved, and represent dolphins. There
Is also a rdieraton card table of solid
mahogany, decorated with marquetry
of aatlnwood. Another rare piece is
u rosewood writing desk, beautifully
Inlaid with Ivory in designs of birds
and flowers. Colonel Dyer purchased
this at a government uiiotlou sale of
articles smuggled into this country.
It was badly dilapidated when it came
into his possession, and he had it re
stored. The Ivory used In the repair
work was sliced from billiard halls.
On one of the tables in the drawing
room are two Sevres vases, each fif
teen Inches high, which were Import
ed Into this country by a wealthy Mas
sachusetts man more than a hundred
; years ago.
A Mandarin’* Coat 300 Years Old.
Hanging on the back of oue of the
solas is a mandarin's c at three hun
dred years old. It is very valuable
and was the property of one of the
oldest and be* t families in China An
other piece of embroidery frequently
I used for a decoration in the Dyer
mansion Is a portion of the veil of
the inner, shrine of a Chinese tem
ple. which was a part of the loot se
cured by the invaders who quelled
the Boxer unrising Among the rare
works of art In this room and one
that might be easily overlooked 1s
a very fine portrait of Edwin Booth.-
At the time tho celebrated actor first,
played "Hamlet" In Mobile. Ala., Mine,
Verte, a social leader of the South,
crowned him with laurel and to show
his appreciation i * the compllmeut
he gave her this portrait.
In the music room there is a slight
departure from the antique style of
furnishing that prevails over the re* t
of the house. A handsome Vtctrola
and a modern grand piano occupy
places here. Tho records for the Vie-
trola, however, are kept i n an old
mahogany wine ceilarette, Tbis is a
three-sided receptacle having whai :e
, called a pie-crust top, the wood being
jin sections Ilk l - the pieces of a pie,
i 7 lie interest in the modern musical
i instruments is over shadowed by four
j ancient Instruments, one being a nia
ihogany spinet beating the inscription,
( ‘-'lade hy John Broadwood h Sons,
I London,.England." John Broadwood
•was one of the three great piano
makers in I-ondon i n .the year 1800.
'On ;he spinet stands a rare old aeo
' *’an harp’of rosewood. This is a rare
: instrument that con-iats of a box in
, which are strings arranged to make
harmonies when blow n upon by the
wind It was usually platted oy an
open window. An old melodeos and
, very aged organ complete the list
'of musical instruments in this room.
A Va3e That Napoleon Owned.
The furniture of ihe music room is
{of rosewood, upholstered in old gold
{tape (try beautlfuly carved and be
longing to the early Nineteenth cen
tury period. On an antique table in
the center of the room is a plateau
which formerly was used as a center
piece at stale t anquets. This is a
! mirror about four feet long arid half
jas wide in a carved bronze frame
covered with gold leal. On the same
! table is a hand wrought silver vaso
| two hundred years old which was
| brought from England. One of the
| ornaments In this room is a soap
i stone model of the highest temple
!in China. A n old fashioned corner
1 cabinet contains a rare collection of
' interesting relics. Among them are
! a Sevres vase that, belonged to Na-
Ipoleon; an urn, one of the earliest
pieces of Wedgwood; an ostrich egg,
the surface of which was carved by
Mexican prisoners, who, while en-
I tombed in dungeons, do beautiful
carving with nails and other crude
Instruments at their disposal; two ar
row heads a half inch long which
were poisoned for use hy American
Indians, and a number of Filipino
weapons, among them a bolo taken
hy Colonel Banholtz of the Filipino
! constabulary, at Polangul, Albay,
Philippine Islands, during the insur
rection of 1903.
Arm Chairs From the “Amen Corner,”
In the living room arc two mahog
any arm chairs from Ihe Camou3
“amen corner” of the old Fifth Ave
nue Hotel in New York, where Tom
Platt and other famous political lead
ers were wont, to congregate to out
line the destiny of the Nation. A
great mirror here originally was in
the "green parlor” of the same hos
telry. In this room is a sofa of the
• early empire style, the arms having
broad upholstered tops slanting to
wards the seat and projecting over
mi upholstered roll or "squab" at
each end. This style of arm was
characteristic of this type of sofa.
The back of the sofa is shortened and
rounded at egch end, the entire frame
being skillfully carved.
Another beautiful mahogany couch,
much like the modern davenport, but
j with narrower seat and belonging to
the laic empire, is in this room. It
Is characterized by the severe plain
ness and Ihe massive dignity of tills
; period. An Empire table of rosewood
stands in the center of ihe room. It
ha* the glass knobs and the deeply
I curved base belonging to the Empire
design. In this room stands a rare
old French desk belonging to Hie
early Eighteenth century. It is .about
five feet high and has a marble top.
When opened the desk dtseloses a
cupboard of unusual design. Extend
ing clear across the top is a drawer,
a characteristic feature of very old
desks. Ai the sides are columns, the
capitals of which are small busts of
brass. At the bases of the columns
are corresponding brush feet. Here
also is a beautiful mahogany side
board, decorated at the top with a
broken arch cornice of antique de
sign. On this sideboard are old de
canters nnd a rare old English punch
bowl of peculiar pattern. Among sev
eral trophies of the chase in tbis
I room is the head oT a buffalo, killed
by Colonel Dyer on the plains-of Kan
sas In 1 st»t). On the floor is a velvet
carpet that has been in use more
than seventy year* and still shows no
signs of wear. The table covers in
(tits room, the music room and the
drawing room are Turkish curtains,
beautifully embroidered In silk and
gold, so old that the weight of the
embroidery would tear t lie in if used
as originally Intended.
Colonel Dyer ha* In his possession
a valuable collection of queer old
paintings from an ancient church in
Mexico and two of these hang in Ihe
living room. They are on wood and
were made before the days of saw
mills, the rude slabs being hewed out
by hand. The painting is of course
archaic, showing very crude drawing
and no perspective. One of these rep
resents the Virgin Maty on a medal
lion in the renter, and again In each
corner on smaller ovals. The other
Is of the crucifix, the face of the
Chist being strongly Mexican in fea
ture A peculiar device was employ
ed for hanging those paintings. Two
holes were made o tl the back near the
top, penetrating about half the thick
ness of the board. In some mysteri
ous way these were made to connect
and a buckskin thong threaded into
them without being visible on the
painted surface. Considerable strategy
was required to procure these paint
ings from the superstitions natives
in whose possession they w r ere found,
as they were supposed to ward off
misfortune.
A Desk 200 Years Old.
In the telephone room Is a rare old
Spanish desk, over two hundred years
old. It. is of solti mahogany and ha
drawers above and below. The col
umns are twisted and the open desk
exposes several tiers of gracefully
curved bases. Half the top of each
table is a drop-leaf. When this Is
raised tho entire top revolves over
the base to get uniform support.
These tables are designed to tit to
gether when extension Is needed.
I One of the finest pieces in the
(house is a Sheratou sideboard of light
I mahogany, alt the edges outlined
with satin wood inlay and richly dec
j ('rated with bands of ebony and satln
i wod. it stands on six slender taper
| in.* logs about fifteen inches from
itne floor. It is four feet high and
s’x feet long, is of the swell front
jtvpe and lias a bench on top at the
i hack for the better display of plate
land china. The brasses are of a type

About the middle of Jan. of this year,

USED THE OXPATHOR WITH
GREAT SUCCESS IN THE TREAT
MENT OF RHEUMATISM,
FEVER AND SMALL POX.
Southern Oxpathor Co.,
Augusta, Ga.
Swainsboro, Ga., May 3, 1911.
Gentlemen; Since using your “OO”
DUPLEX OXPATHOR, which we
bought last August, I cannot say
enough for its good results in the
treatment of Rheumatism.
Before using the OXYPATHOR I
could hardly get up and down the
steps, but am glad to say now I can
go around the house and help with the
cooking and house cleaning, I have
tiques arc almost countless. No mod
em bed is to be found in the house,
all being high -t-postebs except three
French beds having the curved head
and foot. The 4-posters are all pro
vided with canopies or teeters and
valances. Among those most highlv
prized are a single bed with slender
tinted posts, once the property of Gen
eral Flournoy, a revolutionary hero:
and a great mahogany bed with heavy
columns and deep cornice, which for
merly belonged to Gen. W. H. T.
Walker, who was killed during Sher
man's march to the sea. Another ma
hogany bed has the posts carved In
;tne pineapple pattern. Very unusual j
I are twi n beds of bird’s-eye maple with ’
Render poets. There is an old trim- j
die bed which in early days was push
ed under the old 4-poster when not
| ln use: also a stepladder used to;
I mount the pile of feather beds form- i
'erlv considered Indispensable. “Per
fectly dear ' are two 4-poster doll beds
and a child's horsehair rocker, all of
mahongnny.
l n almost every room are old ma
ogany bureaus or dressers, most of
them in the Empire style and very *
massive. Some of these have glass j
knobs. On several of these is an old- :
fashioned “dressing glass,' a small ad
justable ruiror on a base containing
! one or more small drawers.
In ono room Is a candle table hav-
I lng a round top of Oriental lacquer,
i-inlaid with mother-of-pearl. A “candle
' table is one of small size having the
! entire top on a hinge so it may be
; turned to a vertical position like a
1 screen.
A rarer old portable desk of ebony,
| inlaid with mother-of-peari. came from
a small town in South Carolina. The
used it long enough to say that I fully
believe it will cure me permanently,
and shall be glad to see one In every
household in the County.
Have also used it with great suc
cess in treating my grandchildren for
fever and small pox, and now they call
for the OXYPATHOR for any trouble.

FF.MALE TROUBLE. 1
Greenwood, S. C., Feb. 7,|}911.
Southern Oxypathor Co.,
Augusta, Ga.
I was a sufferer from a compli
cation of diseases for many years,
my main trouble being a bad case of
rupture, from which I suffered greatly
at times. Ttfls no doubt produced a
nervous trouble, which caused loss of
sleep and mental strain. Aside from
this I was troubled with the various
afflieations of womanhood.
I tried various doctors, and took
any amount, of medicine, both patent
and the other kinds, all of which gave
me no relief.
About the middle of November last,
my attention was called to the wonder
ful cures your “OO” Duplex Oxypathor
was making, so I purenased one, and
can now recommend it to all suffer
ers, as I firmly believe it to be a fam
ily physician, and I would not part with
mine for any amount of money.
At the time I began to use this “lit
tle wonder worker” I was unable to at
tend to my household duties —I now do
all my housework, get natural sleep,
have a good appetite, can eat almost
anything without it disagreeing with
me, and I have not taken any medicine
since I began using the Oxypathor.
Trusting this testimonial will help
other sufferers, I remain,
