> ut it must be made. The pages of

brighter than those of The Con-
jesslonal Record. They are , Itko all

a pniotlcal joke. Senator Dawes

other day a very dignified old gentle
man of portly demeanor , gray hair and
a pleasant faco. They sat down to
gether on one of the rod leather sofas
near the wall. After they hud talked
awhile Dawes returned to his seat to
finish a letter , leaving his stately
friend till alone on the sofa. One of
the brightest of the pages , a smart
little Alabama boy , hearing the
distinguished-looking old gentleman's
Iname , got a sheet of official paper and
fwrote out a neat note Addressed to the

/which he remarked that ono of the
< Senate rules required all visitors to
the floor to make three profound bows
' , to the presiding officer out of respect
to the body. He signed a fictitious
name , sealed the note in an official en
velope marked "United States San-
ate , " and , hurrying up to the fine-
looking old gentleman on the rod sofa ,
handed it to him aa though he had

Then he and the other pages who were

pis gold eye-glasses to his nose , and
slowly and solemnly road the little note

ly and slowly arose , and with great
dignity made throe low bows toward

The br.cl example of Dnkca and the
ike has started up the theatrical pro-
oaoioQ again , and the number of
llvorcos now on hand la astonishing
iven among those very much divorced
'Ooplo. ' I am more surpriaed that
Dlgby Bell's wife should be suing him
for a dtvorco than oi any of the others.
Dlgby Bell has always Boomed like a
nice , gentlemanly oort of a follow , and
I Buppoao , as ho hna only recently
gone en the stage , that ho would not
have become a victim to the divorce
mania. Now Townsend Percy's w'fe '
Is suing for n divorce. Percy has only
boon married about four years , and
ot his wife has had all she cau st nd
f him. I am not so much surprised
at this divorce suit , as I should hardly
'maglno this dramatic critic to bu a
rery domestic man. The Da Belleville
divorce suit has been a public scandal
now for a number of months aid
the even tenor of the "Parisian Ro
mance'1 ot the Union Square theatre
has. been very much disturbed. In
'act , from night to night it Is hardly
known whether Da Belleville will
appear or whether some one else will
take his place. Bnt so far ho has gnno
on with his part. I cannot help bnt
smile when I think of the fine sontl-
manta that he utters in the role of
Henri do Sargy , and of the sentiments
anything bnt fine that he puts in prac
tice in real life Da Sargy Is the soul
of .honor and devotion to his wife , np
to a certain point. Bnt even In thi
matter De Sargy la weak. In every
thing else he is honorable to the verge
of fanaticism. I don't know that the
theatrical profession has a monopoly
of divorce cases , bnt It does seem tc
have Its share , and I think the
actors and actresses that have not got
moro than their share of husbands 01
wives are rare.
The tltallani , when in a ptout

Popular estimates of Yanderbllt'i
wealth range all the way from three
hundred to six hundred millions.
There can bo no exaggeration in thi
lowest of those figures , and may be
bnt little in the higher. Speaking tc
a Times reporter the other day an to a
reported retention of bonds by Ihi
New York Central , Mr. Vanderbill
stated Incidentally that ho hlmsoll
hold between sixty and seventy mil
lions of the stock of the Now York
Central , which pays regular dividend !
of cue per cent a mouth ; that there
was about ono hundred millions In the
Yanderbllt family , and that bosldei
this ho waa a largo holder In the bond'
od debt of the company , which ranki
at over par. Add this to the aixty odd
millions of registered United Statee
bonds that stand In his name , and the
enormous interests hols known to hold
In other railroads , his real estate , and
properties of various kinds , and the
aggregate must bo something anornv

his already enormous fortune , Van-
dorbllt is said by those who know him
to bo very doll and stupid , by no
moans the cqutl of his father In those
qualities which enabled tro Slaton

steamship commodore and finally rail
road klug. Bat ho has all the plod-
din ) ; sagacity that enables a man to
hold on to what ho gola , aud ho has
surrounded himself In the manage
ment of his great railroad Interests by
the boat executors and advisors.
Should ho live aa long aa his father aud
bo succeeded by another Yaudorblltof
the aarno kind , It is a curious specula
tion as to what the Yandorbilt fortune
will amount to , or perhaps rather
what thro would bo , at the end of the
third generation , left for other poo-
plo. Yet If Gould were twenty years
younger , it la within the possibilities
that ho might easily distance Ynndor-
bllt before it came to his turn tea
a art for that laud whore earthly
wealth cannot bo taken , for ho , with
all the money-making qualities of the
first Vnndorbllt , has reached that
point who to the millions roll up of
themselves , even though their poi-
soaaur be a fool or an idiot. Admis-
mission to the picture gallery in Van-
dorbllt'a now houao , on Nifth avenue ,

afterwards In the week , by
previously writing for tickets of
admission , and Is availed of by people ,
who do not only want to BOO the plo
turcs , but to behold for thomsolvoa
the inside of the honae of the great
millionaire. Not much of it is to bo
aeon , however , but what there ia Is
very fine and costly. The California
millionaire , Governor Stanford , quiet
ly occupies Yandorbllt's old honno ,
having his uftico in Mill's building
tbo erection of another California
millionaire , who , ainoo his daughter's
marriage with Whltolaw Reid , has
bought out the mortgage hold by Jay
Gould on The Tribune , and taken the
piper founded by Horace Grooloy into
the family.
The estimate cost of the structures
for the erection of which permits
wcro given during January la $4,096-
870 , which Is moro than twloo the
coat of the buildings for which per
mlta were given iu the corresponding
months ot last year. If thla proportion
tion holds good throughout the year
there will bo $70,000,000 expanded
on now structures in 1S33. Last year
2,561 , buildings were put up , at a cost
of $41,778,080 , and if Is thought the
number will roach 4,000 this year , sc
great la the demand. Thin sends np
the price of real estate and makes c
strong market. When the land on
which the Drexel building at Wall anc

It was thought the highest price f 11
