Hurry Costly to Vanderbilt
Usually Cautious, He Hastily Bought
the Nickel Plate Because It Was
Gcing to Be Sold to Jay
Gould.
"I wish you could have seen Will;am
H. Vanderbilt upon one occasion when
he thought he was compelled to de
ride whether he would spend several
millions in the purchase of a railroad
or let it go.'' said the late Charles C.
Clarke, who was for many years one
of the most intimate persona! friends
of Mr. Vanderbilt and a vice-president
of the Vanderbilt lines.
"In order the better to understand
the description, I am going to give
you, I ought to remind you.” contin
ued Mr Clarke, "of the manner in
which the Nickel Plate railroad was
built. It was promoted chiefly by
Gen. Sam Thomas and Cal Brice—
we always called him Cal—and we
suspected from the beginning that
it was buiit with the intent, by a
sort of genteel blackmail, to compel
Vanderbilt to buy it. It ran from Buf
falo to Chicago and practically paral
leled the Lake Shore railroad. There
did not appear to be the slightest ne
cessity for building a railroad there,
since the Lake Shore could take care
of all the business that was offered.
That was the reason why we sus
pected that the chief object Brice
and Thomas had in promoting the rail
road was to unload it at a fat profit
upon the Vanderbilts.
Just about that time Mr. Vander
bilt was having a good deal of per
plexity on account of the building of
the West Shore railroad, which prac
tically parallels the New York Central
trom New York city to Buffalo; and
he was accustomed to declare that j
he'd be hanged if he'd buy the West
Shore, and he'd be d—d If he'd buy
the Nickel Plate. Yet he bought the
Nickel Plate, almost in the twinkling
of an eye; and I'll tell you exactly
hew it happened, although a part of
the anecdote has already been pub
lished.
"One day I was with Mr. Vanderbilt
n his office when some one brought
to him a telegram that had come
over the company's wires from Buffa
lo. He opened it and read it, and then
handed it to me. As nearly as I can
recollect, the telegram stated that
Gen. Thomas and Cal Brice had just
left Buffalo in a private car with Jay
Gould as a guest, and that they were
going to take him on a tour of inspec
tion over the Nickel Plate.
” 'What do you think of that, Char
.ief asked Mr. Vanderbilt, excitedly.
” ‘I don't know what to think of it.'
I replied.
' Well. I know." Mr. Vanderbilt
Tried, as he jumped out of his chair
and began walking excitedly back and
forth. 'They’ve got tired fishing for
me and they're going to have Gould
make an offer to buy the Nickel Plate
and do what he wants to with it.
That must be stopped.'
"It seemed to me that Mr. Vander
bilt was in a good deal of a hurry;
so I said that if Gould bought it he
w ould only get a roadbed and a streak
of rust.
" That doesn't make any difference.'
he retorted vehemently. ’He mustn't
have it. We don't want any more
trouble with Gould. I am going to ac
cept Thomas' offer instantly, and per
haps Gould will learn before he gets
through the tour of Inspection that
Vanderbilt's got control cf the road.'
"Cautious a man as William H.
Vanderbilt was. and though wonder
fully accurate in his forecasts and
judgments, as I almost always found
him to be. he yet seemed to be car
ded away by this impulse to buy, and
as he did not ask my advice. 1 did
not give it. But I felt there was some
Layman Taught Head of Yale
- *
M. C. D. Borden Showed Arthur
Twining Hadley How to Raise the
Bicentennial Alumni Fund cf
a Million Dollars.
When Arthur Twining Hadley be
came president of Yale university,
being elected to that office at a young
er age than any of his predecessors,
he knew that one of the most im
portant of the duties that lay imme
diately to hand was the raising of the
bicentennial alumni fund of one mil
lion dollars. For it was hoped and ex
pected that Yale would be able to cel
ebrate its two hundredth anniversary
cot only with formal ceremonies, but
by the announcement that a fund of
one million dollars had been raised.
The young president started out to
secure this fund. What was at first
enthusiasm on his part was followed
by something like despair, until at
last he called upon one of the most
enthusiastic of the alumni of Yale, M.
C. D. Borden of Fall River, Mass
the largest cotton manufacturer in the
United States. Mr. Borden heard pa
tiently the young president's narra
tion of the difficulty he had met with
in securing pledges.
“Arthur,” he said, at last “you are
expert authority on economcs and on
railroad management and accounting.
But you have got something to learn
about the way to collect a big fund of
money. You never will get vour mil
lion dollars if you continue in the way
you have begun."
President Who Was Forgiving
William McKinley’s Unfailing Kindll
ress and Tenderness of Heart Il
lustrated by an Incident at
a Cabinet Meeting.
During the entire period that Wil
liam McKinley was president of the
I'ni'ed States. Lyman J. Gage was sec
retary of the treasury, and as such was
irought into close official and personal
-elations with McKinley.
"With the exception of Abraham
Lincoln. McKinley, in all probability,
had a greater tenderness cf heart than
any man who has been president,"
said Mr. Gage, "and his nobility of
mind was the equal of that of any of
his predecessors. Let me illustrate by
an incident that occurred in a cabinet
meeting, and for the occurrence of
which I was primarily responsible.
"After I had been in the treasury
department for some time it was
brought to my attention that one of
he department's subordinate officials
had dared to write for publication an
article that, to my mind, breathed in
subordination of the highest degree.
Quite naturally. I was offended and in
dignant. so much so, in fnct. that I
i took the first opportunity to call the
mention of President McKinley and
the cabinet to the breach of discipline.
I minced no words in declaring to tbe
president that peremptory removal of
the off.rial in question was Justified by
his disloyalty and the studied insult he
had placed in his communication. Then
I read in full what the subordinate bad
written, observing all the while the
president seemed greatly interested
When I had finished, the president
was silent for a moment, then he
said:
" ‘Mr. Secretary, it seems to me that
if this communication is written in a
—
*
spirit of disloyalty, and if it contains
a studied insult, as you believe and de
clare, then that disloyalty and that in
sult affiects the president of the United
States quite as much as they do the
secretary of the treasury.’
" ‘That is precisely my view of the
matter. Mr. President,' I replied. ‘That
i is why I have brought this communi
cation to the attention of yourself and
the cabinet. I do not believe that It
is right, nor for the best interests of
the department, to retain in it anyone
who is so disloyal and so insulting to
the president of the United States.
So I desire to receive from you au
thority for the prompt and peremptory
removal of this insubordinate official.'
‘The president locked at me
thoughtfully for perhaps half a minute,
and then directed his glance at the
other members of the cabinet, one
after another. So far as I could fath
om their opinions with respect to the
situation, they accorded with mine,
and it seemed to me that the presi
dent also reached that conclusion after
he had locked searchingiy at each of
his advisers. At last he spcke:
“ 'Mr. Secretary.' he said, slowly, ’if
It appears to you that this communica
tion involves the president as well as
yourself, I wish you would let me take
it. I will read it carefuily, and then, if
I find that your opinion of it is Justi
fied. I think I will keep it and forgive
the official who wrote it."
"With that." concluded Mr. Gage. 1
handed the letter to the president,
who put it upon his desk, turned
serenely to other affairs of govern
ment. and afterwards, to my own per
sonal knowledge, actually forgave the
man who had dared to be insubordi
nate and to insult him.”

trick about it all, and I was sure Uiat
. if he waited, he would get the road
for practically nothing.
“Well, that very day he bound the
bargain—he was not his usual calm
self until he had done so—and he
chuckled not a little as he thought ol
-he manner in which he had over
; reached Gould. But a few days later
he came to me with a woeful face.
" ‘Charlie,’ he said, ’that was all a
trap. They set it for Gou’.d and for
me. and they caught us both. Gould
had no intention of buying the road:
he was perfectly innocent in the mat
ter. New that we have got it, we
must make the best of it. but I am
sure that if we had waited we
| could have got it on our terms, and
saved several million dollars.'
"Had Mr. Vanderbilt lived a few
years longer than he did," concluded
Mr. Clarke, whose death occurred a
few months ago. "he would have been
gratified to know that, after all, his
purchase of the Nickel Plate was a
wise venture, for it has proved a most
valuable subsidiary to our Lake Shore
system."

“What. then, shall I do?” the presi
dent of Tale asked.
“That's exactly what I am going to
tell you." Mr. Borden replied. “There's
■ a good deal of human nature to he
studied if you're going to raise a large
fund of money. Now, what you must
do first is to get four or five or even
six men to say they will contribute
the larger part of the fund. When
you have got pledges of that kind,
you will be astonished to see how
quickly other rich men will fall Into
line. That's the human nature of giv
ing.”
“But where am I to find four or five
or six men?” Yale's president asked.
“I am going to show you. I will be
one of six men to pledge in ail six
hundred thousand dollars. You shall
have the other pledges within two or
three days. Then, when you have
them, you will see how quickly others
will join the procession, and you shall
get your million within a month.”
Here was a new philosophy of life
for the new president of Yale, But
he knew from Mr. Borden's manner
that It was a correct philosophy.
On the day following Mr. Borden
met Frederick W. Yandervilt. an alum
nus of Yale. ‘Fred.” he said, “I'd
I like to have yon be one of the six
who are going to contribute six hun
dred thousand dollars for Arthur Had
ley’s bicentennial fund.”
“It would give me the greatest
pleasure." responded Mr. Vanderbilt
Mr. Borden next called upon three
other graduates of wealth, and he had
simply to repeat the request he had
made to Mr. Vanderbilt to get their
subscriptions. Then, within a few
hours, he called upon James J. Hill,
whose sons were graduates of Yale
“I wont do it.” said Mr. Hill, at
first.
v/u, jwu lue rrpi j;
and after some further conversation,
Mr. Hill offered to give twenty-fire
thousand dollars. He was told that
that wouldn't do. Then he offered to
give fifty thousand dollars, but was
told that that amount also was too
small. Along in the small hours of
the morning Mr. Hill yielded, so that
within three days the fund of six hun
dred thousand was raised.
"Take that. Arthur." said Mr. Bor
den the next day. "and we'll see if I
was not correct."
The young president of Yale, going
forth with the pledges of six men for
six hundred thousand dollars, found
that it was ev n as Mr. Borden had
said. Other rich men stepped up
quickly, so that they might be In time
to join the procession: and almost be
fore Presider.' Hadley realized it
Yale's bicentennial alumni fund o’ a
million dollars was secured to the last
dollar.

Anecdotes of French Court
3srrlsters Find Much Difficulty in
Keeping Occupants cf the
Bench Awake.
The centenary of the Paris bar, re
cently celebrated at the Palais de
Justice, has recalled numerous anec
dotes on the humors of the l^w courts.
Among others it is told how a well
known lawyer, M. Alem Rousseau,
was pleading a rather tiresome case
and noticing that the judges were
paying no attention to him said: "As
the court is sleeping I will sus
pend my speech." But the judge had
just woke up and cried: “And I sus
pend you from practicing for six
months." Nothing daunted, the law
yer retorted: “Well, I suspend my
self for ever and ever," and gather
ing up his brief and cap he left the
court and never appeared again.
A Paris barrister, M. Clery, how
ever, was more vigorous. Seeing that
the president and the assessors were
all asleep, he stopped and dealing a
tremendous blow on the desk in front
of him that woke everybody up with
a start, he cried: "Yesterday at this j
same hour I was saying—” and the 1
whole bench rubbed their eyes and
asked each other if they had really
slept through twenty-four hours.
The same counsel was pleading at
\ ersailles on a cold day and re
marked that the judges were all turn
ing more and more around toward a
stove that gave out a welcome hbat. j
The tribunal behind which I have
the honor of speaking" brought them
all “right about face” at once.
On another occasion the judge
asked him !b cut his speech short,
as the court had made up its mind.
Assuming the air of a childlike na
tive, M. Clery retorted: “Me right, you
good judges, him innocent," and sat
down.
Though not intended humorously, !
the celebrated criminal advocate Mai
tre Henri Robert made a hit when de- 1
fending the matricide Wache de Roo.
He produced an act of renunciation
signed fcv the prisoner of all benefit
from the will of the mother he had
murdered and added to the jurv: "Sc
if you acquit him he will*go forth
miserable and poor, perhaps to Mada
gaecar, to repent of an act which he
may have committed in a moment of t
thoughtlessness.”
And the verdict of the jury was 1
typical. They found that he had
committed murder, but that he had
not killed his mother, although the
unfortunate lady was the only person
who had been killed. This was in or
der to save the prisoner from ten '
years' penal servitude, which is the
maximum penalty for parricide, 1
whereas manslaughter with extenuat
ing circumstances can be let off with

BLOOD HUMORS
It is important that you should now rid your
blood of those impure, poisonous, effete matters
that have accumulated in it during the winter.
The secret of the unequaled and really wonderful success of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
as a remedy for Blood Humors is the fact that it combines, iio* dimply
sarsaparilla, but the utmost remedial values of more than twenty ingre
dients—Roots, Barks and Herbs—known to have extrrordirvrj efficacy
ia purifying the blood and building up the whole system.
There is no real substitute for Hood’s Sarsaparilla, no “just es good”
medicine. Get Hood’s today, ia liquid form or tablets called Sarsatabs.

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great im

er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

The Homan Heart
The heart is a wonderful double pump, through the
action of which the blood stream is kept sweeping ^
round and round through the body at the rate of seven
miles an hour. " Remember this, that our bodies V
will not stand the strain of over-work without good, a
pure blood any more than the engine can run smooth- '
ly without oil.” After many years of study in the
active practice of medicine. Dr. R. V. Pierce found
that when the stomach was out of order, the blood
impure and there were symptoms of general break
down, a tonic made of the glyceric extract of certain
roots was the be< corrective. This he called
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
Being made without alcohol, this “ Medical Discovery ” helps the stomach t9
assimilate the food, thereby curing dyspepsia. It is especially adapted to diseases
attended with excessive tissue waste, notably in convalescence from various
fevers, for thin-blooded people and those who are always “catching cold.”
