the most distinguished In their profes
sion, realized tho seriousness of the
attack, and operated as soon as they
could. Their patelnt's Indomitable will
had served him a fatal turn, however.
Ho had delayed complaining of the
ailment too long.
Mr. Whitney did not recover from
this operation. The poison had en
tered his system, and peritonitis set
In.
On the morning of Feb. - It became
apparent that his condition was des
perate. Ho was conscious of the fact
and realized that it would require
almost a miracle to save his life.
Calmly and bravely he considered tho
result of the consultation of physi
cians. They told him that thero was
one chance in a million that a second
operation might keep him alive, while
without it his tenure of life was a mat
ter of hours. They did not l:eop from
him tho peril of his never waking
from the anaesthetic.
Ho bade tho physicians to go ahead
and do what they could. Ho arranged
his nffairs. hade his son. Harry Payne
. Whitney, anil his daughter. Miss Doro
thy, tho only members of his family
present, a hopeful farewell. He left
messnges for those of his children who
wero not at home.
Then the doctors prepared for the
operation, hut tho desperate alterna
tive was futile. Mr. Whitney failed to
rally after tho knives had done I heir
work. Ho nover regained conscious
ness after being put um'er the Influ
ence of other.
His son and his daughter were sum
moned and they stood beside tho bed
side of their distinguished father as
ho sank from tho stupor Induced by
tho drug Into iho sleop of death.

years tho great promoters anil organ

with whom ho fought groat battles of
tlnanco In tho past, and with whom ho
wns In rccont years associated In
great enterprises.
Mr. Whitney's death affects mnny
Circles, a greater number probably
than would tho death of any man with
whom his namo was associated.

for their love of nit and their nppn.'cln.

world, In polltlcnl cent on as well as In
Huclcty mid among men who own
great racing stables.
Wherever lie moved he was n power,

stupendous business achievements.
ThoiiKh Mr. Whitney wns a very
rich man, his fortuno Is not supposed
to he on a pnr with that of the great
multimillionaires. lie was not pre
eminently an accumulator. Ho was
prodigal In expenditures. Ills otil
use for money was for the things It
would buy. So lie Jived lavishly and
diverted himself royally. His personal
expense, year In and year out, was
probably greater than that of any
other American.
F.vcn with such expenditures his
Benlus for organization and his clear,
far sighted financial skill built him up
a fortune that is estlmnted nmong his
associates as 2fi.000,noo. lie could
have withered a hundred millions had
his ambitions turned him toward
honidlng his wealth.
Of late years, when his associates
weie liuuriinp all their energies to ac
cumulation, he was steadily withdraw
ing from the gross game of money
making, letting his eldest sou, Harry
Payne Whitney, take his place on the
hoards and directories of his compan
ies. This very fact makes It probable
that his demise will not seriously dis
turb "the Street."
CAREER OF UNVARIED SUCCESS.
Notable Achievements In the Life of
William C. Whitney.
Mr. Whitney's career us lawyer, re
former, cnbinot member, business
innn, lover of tho turf and society
leader, was an enviable one, but his
most notable achievement was the re
organizing and building of the Ameri
can navy, paving the way for the vic
tories that fjr.v'j liberty to Cuba and

Academy nr-tl at Yale, graduating from

practice of law in New York City.
Mr Whitney was only III years old

tho Democratic party. His first not
able work ivas against the Tweed

that he subsequently retnlned. Ho
became a clnso friend of the late Sam
uel J. Tllitcn, and was active in man
aging ills campaign for the presidency.
In 187fi he was appointed corpora
tion counsel for tho City of New York.
Ho reorganized the department, cre
ating four new bureaus. He retired
from the corporation counsel's ollico In
1882 and interested himself in acquir
ing franchises for street railways, thus
laying tho Inundation for a fortune
that later mounted to millions.
When flrovor Cleveland wns Inau
gurated President in 1885 he placed
the department of tho navy In the
hands of Mr. Whitney. Then began
the plan of reorganization that has
had remarkable results.
Tho United Stnteu had no navy
when Mr. Whitney took olllce. Ho quit
the department, leaving the nucleus
of that white squadron which was
afterward built nnd which led the wny
to making tho United States one of
the great powers
VMr. Whitney retired from office In
1S80, and since that time refused all
political or diplomatic olllces. Ho re
turned to active business nnd proceed

business enterprises on his mind, Mr,
Whitney sought relaxation on tho turf,
and ho procured stables of thorough

annals, and ho signalized tho year 1903
by scoring a larger amount of win
nings than any other owner of horses.
Ho raced ontlroly for amusement, nnd

highly paid Jockeys and trainers cost
him far moro than ho vfbn. Ho wns

Grover Cleveland's Tribute to Hit
Departed Friend.
The news or Mr. Whitney's death
lias greatly shocked me. As I think of
him. my mind, passing beyond recent
years, dwells upon Mm days of my as
sociation with him in high official
duty, and recalls the time when I had
the opportunity to enjoy his unro
served Intlmncy and friendly compan
ionship. Our relations have never
changed, but the exigencies of life
have forbidden recent close inter
course. Mr. Whitney had moro calm, force
ful efficiency than any man I ever
knew. In work thnt interested him
he actually seemed to court difficulties
and to find pleasure and exhilaration
In overcoming them. His Judgment
was quick, clear and astonishingly ac
curate; and, when It was called Into
action, his mental poise was so com
plete that neither pnsslon nor Irrita
tion could lend it astray.
While I remember all this with ad
miration and atfection I recall with
moro tender sentiment Mr. Whltnoy's
devotion to his friends, his extroine
consideration for all with whom he
Henry Payne Whitney,
came in contact, his thoughtfitlnes
for tho case and comfort ot others,
and his ready Impulse to help those
who needed help. I mourn tho death
ot a friend of whom it can bo truth
fully snid that In his character wero
combined mental traits of a high order
and loving qualities of heart that grap
pled him to his friends with hooks of
steel.

What the Sailors Got.
An Kngllsh newspaper tells this
story: "They wero about to buy boef
tin tho boof tor tho ships. So tho offi

The wind swept in nngr gusts
through the tall, shapely I'.rs. driving
before it sheets of Hue snow which it
hurled fiercely against the enhlr. The
snow entered every apoiture with Im
patient persistence, terming little
riffles of white along the wall.
At times, the huge fire-place roaied,
or again it smoked and simmered.
A innn with clenched ilsU stood In
the center of the room glaring wildly
about him with a look of subdued
rage, in Impotent defiance of the ele
ments. "Jim," called n weak voice from the
shadow near the wall. Tho fierce, re
pellnnt look vanished before one til
tender yearnings, as he turned quickly
to the bedhldo.
"I am here, Mnry. What Is It?"
"What Is the time?"
".lust twelve, Mnry," answered the
man. seating himself near her.
"Jim," faltered the woman. "1 will
not live- till dawn."
"Aw Mary don't ," began the
man, but she continued, "There ain't
no use denyln' it, .Ilm. I'm dying'
now." The man gazed at her with
the dazed look of one stricken dumb.
Ho tried to speck, but only the mus
cles of his tnco worked convulsively,
and no rmuud camo toith.
The woman saw and continued.
"Now, .Jim, don't take It so." The
man artise as though stung; he threw
his arms about In mute appeal.
"I nm the cause. I have done this.
Killed you, torn my own heart out, de
stroyed hope and happiness, looking
tor th.it accursed gold!" His agony
was pltltul, and she raised herself
with an effort saying. ".Jim. I wl'l not
havo you talk so. Yon have been n
kind and loving husband."
"You weie contented and happy In
the valley. We had a little saved,
and I was contented till that devilish
greed possessed me. I brought you
into the mountains and kept you here
while 1 searched, searched () (lod.
how I searched, hut to no purpose."
He paused, gazing helplessly down at
a little rift of snow that was growing
by the bedside.
"You done It for the best, .ilm. it
was all for mo that you worked and
strived. thinking every day to strike
It; and it ain't no fault of yours that

ly the brown, calloused baud that fell
near her.
"1 never ought to have brought you
here I ought to have left a month
ago, but I stayed nm! stayed, hoplu'

The man wept; the woman was si

"Oh, don't, Mnry! anything but

the shelf. He thqughl her wandering

looked among the various articles.
Ah. what was that! It was like the

ni an oyster can, was tucked a hunch
of withered roses tied with a cotton
string. She hnd brought them from

You can come nfter you find
find." Ho bent nearer to hear tho
whisper, but only the deep moan of
tho storm filled the cabin.
The dawn came, the day passed, and
still the man sat, dazed aud bewil
dered by the bedside. Now anil again
he would ralso the tadeil roses and
glance Imploringly around ns though
to conjure pity Irom the stern sur
roundings. The fire had long died out,
the room was cold, the little rifts of
snow had grown till they stood like
white pyramids around the room. As
tho dnrkness of the second night bo-
l gan to settle ho rose and relit tho
fire. All night tho storm roared and
moaned, but he was oblivious of the
elements. As morning advanced hi)
drew from a corner a pick and shovel
and sat down before the fire.
He knew ho was too far In the
mountains to get aid. The snow tilled
tho gullies and It would take days,
maybe weeks, before ho could return.
Ho took the tools and In tho early
light pushed his way aimlessly
through tho drifts to the gulley. In
tho lee of a great fir ho threw tho
light snow aside and began to dig.
The ground was not frozen, for this
was the first snow.
He worked with deadened, sliipifled
senses, and time and again found him
self sitting Inactive, groaning as If In
pain.
The wind had died away, the snow
ceased falling, but tlm clouds hung
black overhead when he returned to
the en bin. Without pause, as though
knowing his weakness, ho wrapped
the body of tho woman In a heavy
blanket and with thu withered flowers
still upon her breast, bore her down
tho mountain to the grave. Throwing
first a tow gteoii branches Into It, he
laid tho body caielully upon them.
Ho took up tho shovel to finltli his
agonizing task, when something at his
feet awoke his numb faculties. Ho
caught It up with a piercing cry. His
eyes dilated, his breath camo In
hoarse, deep gasps. In a moment ho
was upon his knees pawing wildly
with cold, bluo 'lingers, at tho gravelly
mound hu had thrown out. Ho turned
and jieered with aching eyes over tho
dead li.ody, at the wall of tho grave.
Thoro it stood revealed. In his de
lirium he lifted tho body from Its rest
ing place.
"Tho ledge! the ledge!" ho shouted
In an ecstacy of delight. Ho fondled
tho golden rock from which tho yel
low scams showed thickly. Ho laughed
and wept llko ono demented. He throw
tho dirt wildly about, examining and
scrutinizing ns though to reassure himself-
"After all my work and striving,"
he ecled. clecfully. llo turned und

llko the eartli-spotted snow thnt lay
around. The deep satire of it nil en
compassed him. Fierce, bitter Iookn
swept across his strained features.
Ills blood-shot eyes glared menacingly
at the cold, distant peaks, at tho tall,
swnylng firs, at the pure, whlto niantlo
that enveloped all, as though (hoy
were the authors of his distress. Ho
cursed tho yellow metal that gleamed
at him across the grave. His humid
moved aimlessly about him until
something that sent a thrill through

The light or day was still strong
when the man stood beside tho grave,
alone with iialure. Slowly, quietly ho
again laid the body In the grave, then
as if covering a sleeping child in Its
cradle, he cast upon It the heaped up
earth. Then with calm and fear less

A Beast of Superior Intelligence.
"You may say what you please re
garding tho superior intelligence ot
Hie human animal." remarked Crosn
cup oratorically, "hut I have at homo
a puppy a common yellow puppy
that is far moro clever than some

corkscrew. For tho first time In lt

neck of the bottle.
"I look It out In the kitchen nnd
labored with It for a while, trying to

as the tip of Its nose until I fished tho
