THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA. "SENATOR HTELTS llULK. A HANDSOME VILLA ON THE HUD SON NEAR ALBANY. Vnllt by "FIU" Km met and Called "Wnlferfu Hc-osf- Pe.nl pi Ion of r.moii. Mansion Where Hill Work Kats ami 81erpi. Special Albany Let tor. Ttio noni'natkm of Senator Pnvld D. nill for Governor of New Yoi U by tho Democracy of Unit Stnto brings into rrcati-r prominciu'i' thau ivcr otio of tlie moHt uuitiui- chnraetvrs In modern American politics. Secretary of JStato Ureslinin is quoted n snyii.tf tlnlt tho nnsoiitfht and unanimous iioinluatlon, of Hill for tiovornor at Saratoga "Is tho nioHt reinark.iMo event In our poli tics." Senator H'Ts most prominent cn.ir xrtprintle might bo termed bis In domltuMenes. Ho hn been "pot Into hole," aud, apparently covered out Senator Hill. bf political siclit so often, only to coma to the surface u&ilu, that his re appearance as an aressivo leader of his party at the present time Is merely a repetition of his previous career. No man in politico has shown more skill and determination In the paine than ban the New York Senator. And It is thoroughly characteristic of the man to take up the leadership of his party at Its darkest hour, and to run tho nances of defeat that are Involved lu tho contest this fall. But It Is not as a politician that I wish to speak of Senator Hill. His personality Is unique, and liirf homo Ofo worthy of attention. He now pos sesses one of the handsomest resi dences that are to be found In the ieinity of this city, to which ho re are whenever the cares of public lifo and of his profession will allow. It Id Mid by his friends that be bought the boose under tho belief that his poli tical career was about ended as the termination of his term as Governor straw near In ISM, intending to de mote himself to the practice of law in Otis city, where he has had an office for some years. The beauty of tho elto of Mr. Hill's Souse was detected by the late Joseph. K. Emmet, the actor, in 'one of his Tlng tours, and despite the high price asked for the land by the Van Kansselaers, who owned it. he bought fourteen acres of It and built himself a bouse. The Van lteusselaers had toostructed a boulevard for a mile along the ridge, beginning with tho aorthernmofit street of the city of Al bany and emllug at the gates of the Sural cemetery, where President Ar thur is buried, and It was facing this ne thoroughfare that "Fritz" Emmet placed his house. Needless to say that the dwelling being the creation of one ef tho most erratic actors that ever lived, no architect would have the courage to name its style. It was a house within a house, or perhaps one would say It mingled together several bouses, for "Frits" Kmniet built aud lebuilt his dwelling four times. Never tne'ess, no person looking at tho house could truthfully declare it was not a picturesque, artistic ami homelike look ing dwelling. If one looked upon the jrounrlrt also, which had been laid out by William S. Ilgerton, one of Albany's leading landscape engineers, one had to acknowledge that they had a stately appearance. Mr. Emmet had In front of his house a little lake fed by a brook which ran through a ravine upon tho north side. 1'pon the lake was a gondola, imported from Venice by ''Fritz" regardless of expense. Then there was a lodgo at the en trance of the grounds, a stately wlud ml'l at tho right of the house, and back of the house stood a flue barn, resembling the house in architecture. After Emmet died tho place was put on the market at a low figure by his widow. Hill really got It for one third of Its fair cost, and for about sne-slxth of what Emmet spent upon ir. The house has been reconstructed after plans drawn by Architect Isaac (. Perry, the Capitol Commissioner. It Is now In every respect a model homo. Tho dwelling stands upon an eminence on the boulevard, facing tho thoroughfare, hut nome ."0 feet to tho westward of it. A carriage road enters the grounds from the boulevard nt the southern cud of the p'ot. Hy this en trance is a neat lodge, in which lives Mr. Hill's coachman aud tho hitter's family. A fine macadamized road Lads from the boulevard up to the Senator mil's Villa. df)nse. Directly In front of the house, nut near the boulevard, Is a little lake. Back of the house Is a line garden, and farther back stll' at the western extremity of tlie ground Is a grove nf trets, which shield It from the west winds. The Interior of the house Is very ronvenieutly arranged. The entrance ball is octagonal, with rooms opening ant of U in a number of directions. Tlie parlor Is to the left of the hall way. IPtc the centre of the room Is Decupled by a circular divan, in the middle of which stands n monstrous Japanese Jar, eight, feet In height, la vender In cidor aud with curious tig rr.u upon It. This Jar, n beautiful work of art. Is crowned by a brass randelabni of most elaborate design. The effect of the whole decoration Is tiauiU.-eut. Tpon the other' side of the hallway. was a large sitting room, wnicn nr. Hill hfcs eulaig'jd. Here he has a li brary. It Is In n handsome caso, de signed by Mr. Perry. This room has A mas'.illlfi nt chandelier of the Japaneso lantern type. There Is n beautiful oil painting of Venice upon the wall, paint ed by Thoi'its Moniii, and presented to Mr. Hill by the nieiiil-or of his military stalT. Opposite It on the wall is a tine marine view In oil. which wni purchased by Mr. Hill. The room full of efisy chairs, and probably It is Mr. Hill's favorite upon the ground floor. Here he can sit mornings read ing the newspapers and be Is a groat newspaper reader and here in the evening he can read a novo' he llkea novels. The room commands a fine view of the valley of the Hudson river. The sec. Hid Moor of the dwelling has the same peculiarity ns the first: there Isn't a square room or a square hall way In It. One Interesting feature of Mr! Hill's room on the second tloor, wlrch be use as a writing room, is the division of the windows Into two parts, cither part of which can bo swung outward Into the room, admit ting n volume of air In the lower or the upper port'on of the room, ns de sired. There Is a neat oak table in the centre of the room. Mr. llil's bedroom Is In the centre of tli' house, just off th's writing Mom. He uses a big white maple bedstead of handsome diwign. which was in the house when he bought it of Mrs. Kmniet. The only portrait la the wilting room, it should be stated, is an excellent one of Samuel J. Tll den. who has heen lu many ways Mr. HIT model In political life. There is a handsome guest chamber upon this Hour, wltli a dome-shaped celling of the color of dull gold. ' A handsome game cock adorns the room, with the iiMcription on a s'lvcr plate on tho standard upon which It rests: "I am a Uenioerar." This was the gift of Himh McLaughlin, of Itrooklyn. There is ji third tloor of equally fine rooms, one Is occupied by Harry S. l'earse, a young doctor of Elmlrn, who was a poor b v who was befriended by Mr. Hill. Mr." Hil" paid for the boy'a education and. indeed, all h's expen ses. The young man has Just graduat ed from the medical school at Albany, and has entered upon the work of his profession. Mr. Pearse lives with Mr. Hill and Is still aided by him In many ways. All the upper rooms of tho house are crowded with costly carved chests and wardrobes, bought by "Fritz" Emmet. Another feature of the house. In the basement. Is a large Turkish bath. This bath Is In a large room. It can be heated by steam to any temperature. A swimming bath lined with beautiful tiles Is one of the ornaments of the room. Senator Hill's house is one of the curlosltifrt of Albany, aud ladles es pecially are always anxious to visit It. Many are the speculations, whether the Senator ever means to provide It with a mistress. Hill Is now fifty one years of age. having been born August I'll, ls-l.i. He Is In perfect health, and a young man in vigor. In his personal habits he 1 one of the most abstemious of men. He never touches intoxicating liquors of any Roar View of Villa. tind, does not smoke, aud Indulges no luxuries upon his table. He takes vigorous exercise, and Is a tremendous worker in fact, constant aud unre mitting occupation seems to be the aim of his life. He Is fond of public life, because of the power and respon sibility It confers. It is quite commonly believed that I T : 1 .it i - . i i t .. i jlii us (ii9;iiHou(eu iu nil eariy love affair, nnd thenceforth abured the so- ciety or women, i ne rumor is one or suspicion, as the Senator never talks . about his private affairs. The prob !f he ever became President follow Mr. Cleveland's ex plac'.ng a mistress lu tho nbllity Is. be would ample in White House. Whatever may be the result of tho coming election it will only add Inter est to the remarkable political career of the man who seems now to be the natural leader of the Democratic party. M. T. CAI ITomrn Who Work. Tt Is the greatest of follies to spend much time In commiserating the hard lot of the , working girl In having to work. Many an Idle, nove'.-ivadlng, discontented daughter of wealth Is more to be pitied. I'ity the conditions under which women have to work, tho inadequate wages, the unreasonable demands, tho cruel oppression, aud tho many disadvantages which tlie agita t'ons of strong and noble women have not yet been surtleleut to remove, but offer your sympathy to a bright, wide uwake American business-girl, because she has to work and note her aston ishment at your view. And who, with the score of examples upon every side, of the women supporting them selves nnd others, going to and from their business daily, aud maintaining in every relation of life a dignity and delicacy of woman'.y character that command the respect of all who dares maintain that our business women aro losing their delicacy and refinement? Nor do men lose their chivalry. It Is the testimony of all who have tried Hi experiment, thnt the best way to rlevnte the tone of a business estab lishment. In which there are many em ployes. Is to employ se'.f-respecting wo men nnd let them work side by sldo with the men. Domestic Monthly. Theoloclral.
