HARRIMAN NOW OCCUPIES
HIS $2,000,000 HOME
Magnificent Country Place Which the Railway Magnate
Has Constructed Near Arden, N. Y., Includes an En
tire Mountain with Incline Railroad—Palatial Mansion
on Summit of Tower Hill Is Surrounded by Lovely
Gardens and Has Every Luxury.
• —
New York.—Edward H. Harriman,
just returned from a seemingly fruit
less search for health in Europe, now
occupies his new country house on
Tower hill, near Arden. N. Y. The
mansion, completed only a few days
before the railroad magnate's arrival,
is one of the finest in America, and
cost considerably more than $100,000,
and the owner has spent nearly $2,
000.000 on the magnificent estate.
lint Mr. Harriman is a sick man.
and whether he will ever be able to
fully enjoy the delights ot' the earthly
paradise he has created, only time and
possibly his physicians can tell.
When one leaves the city of New
burg, en route to the little settlement
which is now known as Arden, a most
beautiful country is at hand. A new
road built by the state stretches the
entire distance, most of the time fol
lowing a pretty brook, which skirts
the base of the several mountain
ranges and when near Arden forms
what the country folk call the Rama
po river, but which is nothing more
than a creek.
Center of Beautiful Section.
The roadway leads through the val
ley. with mountains on either side;
tor a distance the silvery Hudson can
be traced and then, as the road wi
dens around the inland hills, the ver
dant meadows and the mountains
change 'the view and lend another
touch of beamy to the scene.
There is. perhaps, no prettier sec
tion of America than that which lies
* in the Ramapo valley and around it.
Mr. Harriman certainly demonstrated
his taste for nature's handiwork when
he selected this site for a home in
summer.
Mr. Harriman selected Tower hill,
one of the highest mountains in the
Ramapo range, for the site of his
home. In doing so he fulfilled a life
long desire to possess a spot rich in
scenic beauty, high up, away from ma
laria. and where the air is always like
that of a perfect June morning. Then,
too, he wanted to be secluded, away
from all cares, where curious ones
would be shut out and where he could
roam about unmolested. Tower hill
seemed just the spot, aud when his
mind was once settled upon it he was
not long in making the purchase.
Estate Includes Whole Mountain.
There was not a house within three
or four miles of the summit of the
mountain, and to prevent the spring
ing up of any undesirable residences
Mi. Harriman bought the mountain
and all the land within a radius of
three or four milps.
To reach the summit of the moun
tain was the first problem, and when
some of the best engineers in this
country went over the ground they
were not long in coming to the con
clusion that an incline railroad was
the only means of safe travel up and
into what is known as the service
court. The tracks enter a tunnel about
200 feet from the house anil run un
der the front terrace so that the cars
cannot be seen from the lawns, ter
races or gardens.
Ali American in Design.
The house is a three-story and base
ment building, constructed of a sort of
granite with Indiana limestone trim
mings, and is purely American in de
sign. The original of it is seen in the
old stone houses built years ago.
There are 72 rooms connected with
electric bells, while about 25 rooms
are not connected, these being rooms
and apartments of the servants.
The house is built around a central
court, each of the four sides forming
a wing. On the first floor there are
four entrances, the main entrance be
ing from the front terrace, which
leads from a long winding walk down
into the woods. This entrance leads
into a reception hall which runs from
the central court through to the op
posite side of the lmyding, and off the
reception hall is the large reception
parlor.
The drawing room, or living parlor,
is iiO feet square. The floor is of sol
i id oak and so closely are the joints
! made that the floor looks like one
huge wooden surface. The side walls
[ are of paneled cherry. The ceiling is
of plaster parts composition with plain
fern decoration. The molding in this
room is heavy and behind it are se
creted the electric lights. The din
ing hall, servants' dining room, kitch
en and refrigerators are also on this
floor.
Organs in Entrance Hall.
1 In the entrance hall a large organ,
run by electricity, is erected in a loft,
while directly across the hall is an
ecuo organ. This organ will furnish
the music during the dining hours.
Elevators at two points in the build
ing carry the hiembers of ihe family
or guests up and down, while a third
elevator is for the use of servants
only. On the second floor are the
apartments of Mrs. llarriman. Mrs.
Harriman's suite consists of three
rooms, a large reception parlor, sleep
ing chamber and a bath. Mrs. Harri
matt has the most desirable location
in the building. Her rooms look out
on the southwest corner of the
grounds, over an expanse of beautiful
gardens, granite stairways, cozy seats
and pagodas.
.Mr. Harriman’s apartments on the
same floor consist of four rooms, his
library^and private room, his sleeping
room, reception room and bath.
The reception rooms are about 50
fen square, have oak floors and pan
eled side walls of white. The side
walls in all the living and reception
rooms are of white, the woodwork
having been rubbed down to a satin
| finish, so that with the application of

down. Within a short time Charles
P. Ford, one of the most capable and
experienced constructionists in the
state, was engaged by Mr. Harriman
as general superintendent, and to him
is due the exquisite home grounds and
site. The incline railroad is most
complete and has all kinds of safety
devices. It is a pretty trip up through
the trees, and one forgets that he is
traveling up 1,500 feet at au elevation
of almost 70 per cent. An automobile
with heavy cushions and fitted to run
on these tracks makes the trip from
fhe railroad station at the foot of the
mountayt up the incline and directly
into the house.
Every arrangement that will insure
comfort, convenience, lack of commo
tion or excitement about the summit
ol' the mountain has been installed:
For instance, a track leads from the
incline railroad directly into the house
the enamel they have a surface as
smooth as the top of a piano. The
satin, soft, dull finish is used instead
of the glossy finish. The sleeping
rooms through the building, that is,
the rooms used by the family or
guests, have solid oak floors, and pan
eled side walls of cherry.
Each of the children has a suite of
three rooms, and each member of the
family has several suites for guests.
These rooms are palatial in every
way. Solid brass beds predominate
though in some of the apartments are
solid mahogany suites.
Furnished in Finest Style.
The furnishings of all the rooms are
of the finest. Heavy silk draperies
and rich old lace curtains adorn the
windows and doors, while Turkish
rugs and mats decorate the floors.

predominates, though there is an oc-1
casional touch of red and brown. !
On the third floor are some of the j
men servants’ rooms, and in the base- j
ment also apartments have been set !
aside l’or the male help. The women j
j servants occupy quarters in one wing j
of the second lloor, where also are the
housekeeper's apartments. Every serv
ant has a private room. There are
separate wash bowls in the bath
rooms and each servant is allotted
one. .with personal towels, combs,
brushes, etc.
Just off the kitchen, on the first
floor, are the servants’ dining rooms,
and like the kitchen are completely
white tile. The servants use a tun- |
nel which runs through the basement
of the whole house, and none of them
comes in contact with the family. A
servant might work in the Harriman i
house for a lifetime and yet never see ;
a member of the family.
in the basement are the heating ap
paratus, several large boilers furnish- ]
ing hot water heat, the refrigerator
grounds is a large room in the corner
of one wing of the building, on the
first floor, which is so arranged that
the large windows swing apart and
form a broad veranda in summer,
while in winter they are closed and
with a grate fire burning within will
be used as a living room.
On the roof of the building is a
tower, from which point a most beau
tiful view of the country surrounding
for miles is afforded. An elevator runs
from the lower to the ground floor.
A beautiful design in Indiana lime
stone is the decoration which forms
an arcli over the principal entrance to
the building. Out of the face of this
great block is cut a beautilul design
of the chase. In the middle is the
large head of a deer, live feet across,
with a bold showing of antlers, the
top extending beyond the confines of
the general design. Beneath is a game
bag inclosed in netting and beside it
a bow. On either side of the head
crouch two life-sized figures of hounds.
At each end of the design is a horn
Venetian Gardens and Swimming Pool.
plant, electric switchboard and other
mechanical appurtenances. The re
frigerator plant makes the ice used
in the house.
The lawns amPterraces cover acres
of ground and are designed after some
of the pieces at .Monte Carlo. In front
of the house is the central garden.
This is an expanse of lawns, with
granite walks crossing at even angles
and leading to the house. The hardy
shrubbery is artistically arranged and
presents a suitable approach to the
mansion.
The central court, around which the
house is built, is an elaborate piece
of the gardener's art. The central
figure is a large marble nude statue,
which was made bv ar, Italian sculp
tor. its cost is estimated at $15,000.
From the upraised hand water sprays,
casting a dew over the shrubbery and
j lawns.
In tile rear of the mansion are the
Venetian gardens. The high walls are
of marble and rile pool is built of mar
ble, bottom and sides. While this was
first planned for a lagoon, a change in
the plans made it a swimming pool.
Pagodas form a boundary to these
Venetian grounds, and climbing vines
almost hide one from view in them.
At the other side of these gardens are
Italian and Grecian gardens, with their
wide expanses of velvet-like lawns
and terraces. Cooking out on these
of plenty with a display of fruits, and
in the background are a wreath of
leaves, a quiver, arrows, a hunter's
horn, spears, a gun and a hunter's
knife. The piece cost Mr. Harriman
$12.01*0.
Water Is Brought from Lake.
The water for the mansion comes
front Cranberry lake, which is a part
of the Harriman estate and only an
eighth of a mile from the residence. It.
is brought in 16-inch pipes, and as the
lake is higher than the house the
gravity system of pressure is em
ployed.
Although the house is fireproof, hose
connections have been installed on
every floor and in all the corridors
and nooks, and the water for this
purpose is brought from another small
lake a quarter of a mile from the
house. In case of fire, pumps in the
basement are at once set ir* motion,
allowing a heavy pressure. An elec
tric lighting plant on the other side
of the mountain furnishes the lights
for the building.
Next spring a library will be added
to the building, and this will occupy
an entire wing. Here will be read
ing rooms, billiard rooms, bowling al
leys and other amusements. This
wing will cost, it is estinfated, $75,00(1
more.
Another feature yet to be added is
a wireless telegraph station on the
top of the mountain.
| AUSTRIA'S WAR ON SNAKES
New Additions to the Empire Is Badly
Overrun with Rep
tiles.
Austria's new territory is undesir
ably rich in snakes, mostly of the
poisonous varieties, and the govern
ment is taking vigorous measures to
exterminate them.
In the ten years from 1891! to 1905
the average yearly death roll from
snake bites in Bosnia and Herzegovina
was 13 persons, and 1.338 head of cat
tle. horses and domestic animals. Be
sides tliis, hundreds of persons were
bitten by snakes, but recovered.
Since 1900 the provincial authorities
j have given money, premiums for the
j killing of snakes. In that year 30,050
dead snakes were brought in, of which
I 25,438 were poisonous. Next year.
| when the official reward system be
came more generaly known, these fig
ures increased enormously, do fewer
titan 280,718 snakes being killed, in
cluding 271.085 poisonous.
Last year's figures were very nearly
the same, and it will be some years
before the work of extermination can
be anything like completed. But at the
same time the number of persons re
ported bitten by poisonous snakes
seems to be steadily decreasing—200
in 1907 and 140 last year.

The Shortest Street in London.
There can hardly be a shorter street
in London than the one connecting
Bail Mall with the southeastern corner
of St. .lames square, from which the
name .John street has just been re
moved. It has only one house, which
is Xo. 1: for though there are two
other doors in the street, one is num
bered as belonging to Pall Mall and
the other is the side entrance of a
public house. Presumably, therefore,
the single house is now to be absorbed
in St. James square and the London
directory is to lose yet another of the
slowly diminishing number of John
streets.—Westminster Gazette.

Jones was southern correspondent of
the New York Examiner. At that
time there was a rival Baptist paper
in New York city called the Watch
tower. In writing of the death of his
friend Stonewall Jackson Dr. Jones
praised highly his ^character, and re
ferred to him as/fa “battle-scarred
veteran.”
The printers of the Examiner
amended this, and it was stated to
the readers that- Stonewall Jackson
|was a "battle-seared veteran.” The
1'Watchtower saw a chance to make a
little fun of its rival paper and at--]
tempted simply to reproduce the j
error of the Examiner's printer; but |
the printer of the Watch tov.er took
; his turn and made it read that Stone- |
wall .Jackson was a “bottle-scarred
veteran.”
Now the Examiner had a good
chance to get back at its r val, and j
made merry at the trial tc correct
one error by making a wcrse one.
But, alasl it seemed that the expres
sion was doomed to a comedy of
errors, for when the Examiner's
triumphant counter appeared it in

to correct the error in the Examiner
the Watchlower1 had said that Stone

Never a word escapes his lips. The

For the “Kid's” New Year's vow j
was, "I'll never again quarrel with an j
umpire.” And he has kept his vow.
This scrappy little fellow is still fill!
of fire, and vim, and energy, and pep

life. But it's on the field. He has no j
more duel of words with the umpires. \
And the result? He's in the game.

“It doesn't pay to quarrel with j

one of the greatest umpire baiters in ;
the business. "Once they get after
you they keep it up. They nag and I
harass you. They give you the worst
of every close decision. And if you
kick very strenuously they report to
headquarters and you’re set down for
a period. Never again for me! In
the future they can do till they want
and I'll keep silent.”
Elberfeld today is one of the mys

a manager. This year I.e is a short
stop without a title. And yet he is
playing as well as he ever did in his
life. And that means a long time, for
