VAN DER SILT VISITS ASHEVILLE MISCELLANEOUS YAEKS. ue. on And Interesting Rumors Are Thereby Set in Motion. tnhree very -unpretentious (looking la wes, in mourning costume, were to be seem albout 'the city yesterday. There was nothing' (n the appearance in any one of the three to mark them as eg: sentmlly different from the hundreds of visi tor to be met on. the Streets daily. And yet they were different, in. some respects. For iiostanlee, one of the la dies, in getting a check cashed, ca;sual ly remarked, "I will give you a check on one of .my own tanks." This remark is regarded! 'as somewhat unusual here. Ladies who own several' banks rvf fhoir North Main street from the jown may be said to be the exception, ratner man tine mile, an Ashe vl lie. !Tlhe ladies of this party were Mrs. Cornelius - Vanderhilt the widow of Cor nelius Vanderbilt sr., who dfied 'test year, and was the fbrothor of G-eor,ge' w. VanlderfbiTt; Mrs. 'Firederick Bronson, otf New York, and ber daughter, Miss. Bronson. They ao-rived here Thursday afternoon, and! tiheir -private car was switched off at BiKmoiJe. After a short stay in itihe village, 'they drove to the Battery Park hote1!, where they spent the nigiht. Tester-day morning the party a-gain drove to Bliltmiore, and sipent the day in an inspection of the various Objects of Interest created by Mrs. Vanderbilt's brother -4n-law Bilt more house, the estate, the village, All Souls' tclburch, etc. In the afternoon they left for the east. There may or there may not be groundls for rumors that are circulating regarding the object of the visit of the multi-mi'l'lionarie's widow. It is inter eresting to call to mind that long ago two Vanderbllts George "W. and his mother visited' the (Battery Park most unexipectedly, amd the story is that Biltmore estate and all that appertains thieTeto grew out of that visit. 'Will Mrs. Cornelius follow the ex ample of her Ihusband'si Ibrother, and buildr a Dalatial home in the Land of the Sky? The (possibility, if any, is Doubtless very remote. 'But it -is. in-, terestiinig to conjecture just wlhat erranii could have 'brought Mrs. VanderhUt all the -way to Asheville at 'this particular time.

Cutler said an explanation that L spee'l is not excessive compared to Igt of cars in other cities, that the kwded portions of the cities are pro ved by the f?low speed, and that the gh rate of speed will not relieve the bmpames rrom damage suits in case (negligence on their part. The bill was placed on its first reader. The matter of location of the switch Charlotte 'Street was ordered left in hands of the street committee. Thirty-two resiaenits of Montford av- tue presented a petition asking that ontford be washed and cleaned. It was decided that it be swept to west 'hestnut street. Charles A.

BOARD OF TRADE. And Bits of Gossip Picked TJp Here and There. . In a certain, large western city there is a very fine art gallery ,o.uite similar in nature and scope to the Metropolitan Museum of art in New York City. It is crowded with priceless paintings and statues, rare bric-a-brac, time honor ed tapestries, manuscripts a verit ble home of all that is best in the plas tic arts. Naturally the directors of the institute are anxious to obtain desirable additions to their collections, mnd stories told by an official who re cently spent a vacation in Asheville show that outsiders willling to assist In this are not lacking. "An important looking individual called one day," said he, "and said he had a work of art, a rare masterpiece. He offered to lend it for exhibition, and asked whether we would accept it. He was told. that any meritorious piece of art would be gladly accepted. " 'Painting, I suppose? ' asked the official. " 'No, it isn't a painting.' " 'Statue, then, or relief?' " 'No, stir, it's no statue nor no re lief, but it is one of the finest works of art ever produced in this country. Here it is,' and he proceeded to unfold a package, which was found to contain a set of false teeth. He was supreme ly indignant when his offer was de clined and protested that the world did not contain another such example of dental art. Just before I left we re ceived a Setter from a farmer who wanted us to buy a calf distinguished above hi? fellows by having two tails and six legs." The following story was given for a true one.. I am not the magistrate who is its hero, nor am I either of the fond young things . who posed as victims. In fact, I wasn't present. So if you doubt its truithf ulness don't io around casting reflections on my reputation for veracity. It happened in a neighbor ing county, and the justice was a new ly made one, whose knowledge of the law had not -reached that state of pro fundity which leaves little more to be learned. When the-love smitten youth and maiden asked to 'be spliced togeth er in holy matlrimony Thomas Blank J. P., turned to his books. He search ed and he ' searched, and finally he found something that he thought would do. He made the pair stand up and solemnly swear to support the consti tution of the United States and the constitution! of North Carolina not inconsistent , therewith. Then he told them' they were rnarried.fast and tight. He had got hold of the election law. . An able connoisseur' of art in the broad sense of the -word, who recently spent a few days in Asbeville.declared that no words in praise of the natural beauties of this section could be ex travagant. "I notice," said he, "that the sign painter and the enterprising pill adver tiser are given full sway and are al lowed to desecrate your beautiful scen ery with their abominations in a way that is .painful It is bad enough when the scenery of aicountry that is flat.un- plctuiFeSque marsh screams with vul gar praises of sticking plaster, horse liniment, etc., but the same things on the towering rocks and grand stretch es of this vicinity strike one as being supremely out of place, and ought to be prohibited. "I regard the impress of Architect R. S. Smith's art," the same gentleman said, "as a most satisfactory feature of Asheville and the surrounding country. This is aid with no thought of dispar aging the work of the other talented ar chitects of the city. Mr. Smith's con ceptionis blend happily into the indi viduality and the natural features of the place." E. G.
