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. Chicago & 'St. touls

SUelcli of IIU Career ,
Cornelius Vanderbllt waa born on Staten
Jfland November 27 , 1848. William H , V n-
derbilt , hU father , was at that time *
firmer and Cornellui , at tie age of 16 , left
school and secured t place u me4iengor
In the Shoe and Leather bank. His grand
father , the commodore , learning of this ,
nt for him and tiked why he had not ap
plied to him for place. j
"Became I did not want to oak you for i i
mythinr. " wu the reply. 1
TbU ploaioJ the commodore , and It U
paid that he made a codicil , to his will k
few day later leaving $1,000,000 to hl
grandson.
Cornelius left the Shoo and Leather bank
to go Into the employ of Klusam Bron. ,
, bankers , but later his grandfather asked
'
hltn to enter the railroad service. The
young man was making JCO R month and
decline * . ! to leave his place unless ho got
more money. Ho was given $65 nnd no-
I i cepled it. He was then about 21 years old.
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.
Mr. Vanderbllt went to Europe last spring
and cnmo homo on Juno 24. accompanied
by Mrs. Vandorbllt and his daughter ,
Glrulje. They went to "Newport the same
day and Mf. Vanderbllt Improved con
stantly In his health. On August 5 he gave
n house party at his home , The Breakers.
The lust social affairs In The Breakers were
upon the departure of Alfred Vanderbllt
for ft round-thei-world trip. Ho left for
Seattle on July 26 , accompanied by William
Proudflt Burden , Ernest Isclln and Douglas

ogn and later Gertrude became the wife of
Harry Payne Whitney , son of former Secre
tary of tnc Navy William C , Whitney. '
William K. , 'Frederick W. nnd George are
the surviving brothers of Cornelius Vander
bllt. After the first stroke ot paralysis , Mr.
Vanderbllt leased a residence In Washing
ton , D. C. , and upon Rdvlco of his phyM- .
I
clans lived there' for three months , refraln-
i lug from entertaining , however , and llvlntf
i very quietly. His sojourn in Washington
i 1 was of i tldent benefit , and upon his return
to his hnne In this city In April , 1897 , ho
appeared to many of his friends to ba
I nearly as strong and as well aa ho ever had
been. Plans were made for a trip to KuI I
rope In the following month.
In the months following his departure hi *
friends were delighted by letters describing
his health aa steadily growing firmer , and
said that hit ) physicians had consented to <
his returning home lu the autumn , but with I j
the proviso that ho must for nn Indefinite '
tlmo content hlraaelt with a very general
supervision of the Vanderbllt railway sys- i
terns , and relinquish entirely the detail i
work which he had previously taken j
upon himself. His promised return I

non-TAiiin : ROMANCE.
' A Cmnlry Ofllopr Who Hnil lilpnd of
Matrimony.
The presence of a young cavalry ofllc'r
ChlcaRo last week and his subN'qu nt' '
evolutions In the enlorma of the cltv , reports |
I
the Tribune , have furnished the dcnoti m nt i
cf n "bob-tailed" romance of the Spanish
war , j | |
The young man , who begged the reporter
to refer to him merely as Jackson , registered
at a downtown hotel nnd then struck Info
a double-quick for the clubs of bin friends.
After the customary shuffle of Introductory ! i
sentiments the lieutenant burst out : ) I
"Say , fellow's , I want you to get me into ' ;
Chicago society. "
"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. I am
getting old ; I am nearly 21 , and begin to
fear that I shall never bo marrleJ. Now , all
the aplnatera I ever knew give an the reason j i
of their' single state the plea ( hat " j
lovers Avent ttway to ( he war nnd 'never-camo ' j
back.'I believe that the present war ngaln l
offers the same opportunity to every young
woman. . I '
"And this lu-the favor : In the event of !
ybur deathln"the var , will you give me1
permission to say that we were engaged to
be married ? I Inclose my photograph and
remain sincerely , X. Y. Z. ,
"General delivery , Chicago postofflce. "
The return mall carried an affirmative re
ply from the youm ; offlcer , tocethftr with
his photograph. Though he begged h r to
write to him , he never received any further
communication. Ho served through the war
In Cuba without wounds or ekknesa and
was then transferred to the Phllipplnea ,
where the climate undermined his health.
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. "
"Oh , how nko of you , lieutenant , " she
exclaimed , with vlslbfo relief. "And can't
you stay for the wedding , too ? It will bo
next week. "
'I ho Ulcer looked mystified. "You don't
mean to Bay you're engaged ? " he gasped.
"Why. yes ; didn't you know It ? " 8he re
plied , with a scowl nt the mutual friend.
"But I you why , your letter "
"Oh , yes I know , lieutenant. But wn
were to bo engngo.1 only In case you died , "
waa the consoling response.

BALTIMORE , Sept. 12. Captain N. Mayo
Dyer , ono of the heroes of Manila nnd
commander of the cruiser Baltimore In the
memorable conflict of May 1 , 1SHS , was
honored by this city today. Residences ami
buslnres housia wore gay with bunting , the
streets were Jammed with people wearing
"Dyer buttons" and "Dyer badges" during
the entire day , and nil the ships In Oio
harbor , regardless of nationality , were
ducked In his honor.
Soon after breakfast Captain Dyer was
taken In charge by a special committee nnd
entertained In various ways until 1:30 : p.
m. , when ho was racorted to the city hall
to bo welcomed by a reception committee
consisting of about 200 of Baltimore * most
prominent people , headed by Mayor Mnlstcr.
Meanwhile n proceivslon , composed of the
j | Fourth and Fifth regiments of the Mary
j land National guard , the Naval llescno
j corps , the Fifth Regiment Veteran corps.
I two compnnlea of the , United States artil-
I lory regulars from Fort Mcllenry , tbo
Maryland division of the Grand Army of
the Republic and many uniform civic ami
ecml-mllltary organizations , paraded
through the principal HI reels of the city ,
passing the city hall , where Captain Dyer
reviewed the procession and where , upon
an Immensn platform , 3,000 school children
were so arranged as to form an Immense
imitation of the American flag ,
When the parade had passed Mayor Mal-
ster , on behalf of the city of Baltimore ,
presented to Captain Dyer n eot of resolu-
tlons commending his conduct nt Manila and
his record as an officer , after which he
handed him a magnificent sword , also the
gift of the city coundl nnd the people of
Baltimore. Captain Dyer accepted both In
a speech full of gratitude and expressions
of the kindliest feeling toward his hosta
and entertainers.
The sword Is said to bo one of the finest
weapons of Its kind In thle country. The
scabbard Is finished in gold and the blade
Is of Damascus steel. On the scabbard are
representations of the coasts of the United
States and Maryland , the Battle nnd WashIngton -
Ington monuments and the cruleor Baltl-
more , and on the sword hilt are symbolic
representations of the arms of the naval
service. The scabbard hais a service and
a fatlguo belt.
After the presentation ceremonies the
guest of the day , accompanied by a largo
number of the members of 'tho ' reception
committee , repaired to Illverslde park ,
where a public reception was held ,
A banquet In the evening at the Hotel
Rennert rounded out the day's celebra
tion.

"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 ,
