STROKE OF PARALYSIS CARRIES HIM OFF Tnken lth Snriilcn Illncnii Shortly After Retiring nnd I'nn e Arrnj nt C O'clock In tUe MornliiK. NEW YORK , Sept. 12. Corne'lua Vander bllt Is dead. Death occurred at o:16 : o'clock a. in. at his homo at Fifty-seventh street and Fifth avenue , this cltr. T.ieru were with Mr. Vandorblll at the time of Mt death his wife , his daughter Gladys , and Reginald , his youngest son. Mr. Vanderbllt nrrlrtd at his F.fth avenue home from Newport with Mrs. Vanderb.lt at 9 o'clock last night , lie appcaioil In ex cellent health and spirits and retired soou afterward. About midnight he was Bilzed with a seri ous attack and the household waa aroua d. Telegrams were ant to Or. Walter U. Janus , Dr. E. 0. Janeway and ajveral other p y- ilclana , who arrived In a abort tlmo. Kv.ry- thlng poaaluli * waa done for the pitlcnt , but he grow rapidly worse and died at a q-art.r past 5 o'clock. Mrs. Vanderbtlt and her daughter , Mls Olid } a , arc prostrated by the shock and phy sicians are intending them , Mr. Vandcrbllt'a death was causeJ by a itroke ot paralysis , the second which he suffered. The first attack was In July , 1SD6. The stroke which caused death cccurroJ about midnight. The patient W.B se iil-.on- sulous. Dr K. Tlldcn Brown was In at tendance when Mr. Vandcrbllt died. Chauncey M. Depew reached ths Vandcrbllt house at 7:30 : o'clock. Ho remained but t n minutes. When he came out ha was g catly affected and with tears in his eyes 3-ild he ns too deeply grieved to give any Informa tion at that t.me. William K. Vanderbllt. brcthcr of the dead , arrived anon after Mr. Dcpew. He was much agitated. He sold , when nskeJ for information : "My brother died suddenly nt 5:15 : o'clock ' from heart failure , brought about by an attack - tack of acute paralysla , which occurred at midnight. When he died his wife , his daughter Gladys and his son Keglualil were with him. " Coroner Sent ( or. At 11 o'clock tbo coroner's office was asked to send a coruncr to the Vauderbilt housu ind Coroner Han responded. The reason for tills is because of the fact that Mr. Vander- bllt's rcgulut physician was not with him at his death and a strange doctor was in at tendance who had been called Into the case less than twenty-four hours before death ensued. The disposition of Mr. Vanderbllt's estate Is a matter of some doubt. Cornelius Van derbllt. jr. was alienated from his family by his marriage two years ago with Mlsa Grace Wilson , daughter of R. T. Wilson , the banker of thla city , and It la thought probable that this son will not be the prin cipal heir. The Opposition to ycung Vander- bllt's marriage was based upon his youth and the fact that Miss Wilson was eight or ten years his senior. At the tlmo of his death Mr. Vanderbllt waa president of the Canada Southern rail road , vice vrcsldent and director of the Beach Creek railroad , president of the De troit & Bay City railroad , director of the Cleveland , Cincinnati.

The first place bo was given was thit ot assistant treasurer of the New York & . Harlem railroad. I His rise was rapid and he succeeded his father as head of the Vanderbilt system. Mr. Vanderbllt'a active career was prac tically closed when ho suffered a paralytic etroko hi 1896. Draptte his enormous business Interests ho found time to devote to church and Sunday-school work , which he began early In life. Ho gave freely to the railroad branch of the Young Men's ' Christian asso ciation and to the work of St. Bartholo mew's Protestant Episcopal church In New York City. Mr. Vandcrbtlt's great business cares made his life necessarily methodical and he was noted for his punctuality.

" "There Isn't any In the summer , " replied one of the group. "Besides , we couldn't , anyway ; wo have our reputations to look nftcr , and we don't know what you and . Hobson have been doing out there in thei Philippines. " I I , This nnd similar glbre were evidence of I the fact that only n full confession woull' | ' suffice , and one by one the men were tiken aside and allowed to view the photrgraph of a beautiful young woman. The warrior swore by the blood of a hundred victories that he would find the original of that picture. In the event of failure he expressed a desire to be eaten nllvo by the FIllpln-B. None of them recognized the young woman. < They Introduced him to eco'es of other I society men and women , but they all stared blankly at the photograph and show their heads In final desperation , Lleu'enant Jacksan produced the following in evId'HC"1 : "Chicago , 111. , April 11 , 1898. My Dear Lieutenant : I have Just seen your likeness In an April magazine , nnd take the liberty of writing to you to ask a favor.

Two weeks ago ho landed In San Francisco on Pick leave and came Immediately to Chicago I cage on his wlir-o'Jthe-wlsp mission. ' After days of continued eearch the young woman was identified as a prominent m n- I her of North Side society nnd a mutual friend volunteered to call with the officer on the following evening. At the eight of the bronzed face and Bound of the name the girl was startled out rf her self-possession , but rallied during the pleasantries eufllclently to continue con- J i versatlon "Lieutenant Jackson has called , " said tha friend maliciously , "to assure you of his best wishes.

"I do not apprehend a famine In the Ivory market ft > r many years to come , " said a manufacturer of billiard balls to aNew Now York Times man , "for , although the African Jungles are not yielding' as largely as formerly , there are other fields of supply from which wo can draw. " With" th constantly decreasing supply of Ivory In Africa that highly prized sub- Btauco Would eon command olmott 'pro- hlbltlve ipnlcca wore It not /for the exist- ; Jenoe iattbs frozen tundras , of .Siberia , of a sufficient Quantity of mammoth Ivory to accommodate the world's demands for generations to come. There In the soil are found tons of the Ivory , the product of the mammoth. ( elephas prlmlge- nlus ) , a species closely allied to the elephant of India , but protected from the Immense cold of the Arctic regions by a coat of long , coarse hair grown over a fine woolly undarfur at the skin. Thousands of those frozen carcasses are found crowded and jammed together certain spota. Sdence does not attempt to explain how the giant animals were able to live In a climate that preserves their remains by freezing. The reason for the great accumulations of mammoths in cer tain places la also a mystery. The theory that the bodiles wore , carried there by floods of the rivers flowing from warmer ' southern districts is untenable. Examina tion of the stomachs ot some of the frozen | , mammoths reveals the presence of parts of I pine noodles and other vegetable sub stances , from which it Is Inferred that the tundras must have had a forest growth during the mammoth epoch. The same In dications are found In the stomacho of the two species of rhinoceros which lived con temporaneously with the mammoth In the tundraj. Similar concentrated accumulations of bones of larger recent mammals have been found in certain districts of east Africa. This mammoth Ivory , far from being a recent discovery , was known to ( ho an cients and has been used for centuries aa < the article of commerce and manufacture. The records show that as early as 1821 Ivory of this kind to the extent of 20,000 pound.waa ! marketed In Yakutsk , and that annual sales In that city from 1825 to 1831 averaged over 60,000 pounds. In 1840 'Dr. MIddendorff , who visited the vast territory , estimated that the annual output of Si berian Ivory reached 110,000 pounds , repre senting at leant 100 Individual mammoths. I ' Baron Nordenskjold estimated In 1875 that fully 20,000 Siberian mammothn bad con- ' trlbutod their Ivpry to the world's markets since the conquest of Siberia , IOIOMOIOIOIOICHiOIOW31O 0 0 ; The Bee prints more paid Want Ads than any other Nebraska paper.
