NEW YORK , Sept. 12. Corne'lus Vandcr-
bill Is dead. Death occurred at o:15 : o'clock
a. m. at Ills home at Klfcy-ec\e.ith street
and Kltth avenue , this cltr. T.ierucre with
Mr. Vnndorbllt at the time of hi ? ilenth his
wife , his daughter Gladys , and Reginald , hU
youngcat son ,
Mr. V'anderbllt arrived at his F.fth avenue
homo from Newport with Mrs. Vanderbllt
at 9 o'clock last night. He appcaieJ In ex
cellent health and splrlta and retired soon
afterward.
About midnight he waa sslzed with a scrl-
ous attack and the hoLnihold was ) 'arous d.
Telegrams were * ent to tr. Walter B. Janus ,
Dr. E. 0. Janeway and saveral other p y-
ilclans , who arrived In a short time. Er.ry-
thlng poaalul'3 ' won done for the patient , but
he grow rapidly worse and died at a q-art-r
past 5 o'clock.
Mrs. Vanderbilt and her dauehtor , Miss
Qladjs , arc prostrated by the shock and phy
sicians are attending them.
Mr. Vanderbllt'a death nas causoJ by a
stroke ot paralysis , the second which he
Buffered. The first attack was In July , 1896.
The stroke which caused death occurred
about midnight. The patient wan se nl-.on-
sclous Dr F. Tlldcn Brown waa In at
tendance when Mr. Vanderbilt died.
Chauncey M. Depew reached the Vanderbllt
house at 7:30 : o'clock. He remained but t n
minutes. When he came out he waa g eatly
affected and with tears In his eyes aM ho
was too deeply grieved to give any Informa
tion at that time.
William K. Vanderbllt , brother ot the
dead , arrived soon after Mr. Dcpcw. He
was much agitated. Ho said , when asked for
Information :
"My brother died suddenly at C:15 : o'clock
from heart failure , brought about by an at
tack of acute paralysis , which occurred nt
midnight. When he died his wife , his
daughter Gladys and his son Reginald were
with him. "
Coroner Sent for.
At 11 o'clock the coroner's office was asked
to send a coruncr to tha Vauderbllt housu
tnd Coroner Hart responded. The leason for
this Is because of the fact that Mr. Vander-
bllt's rcgulai physician was not with him
at his death and a strange doctor was In at
tendance who had been called Into the case
I CEO 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 jears ago with Mlsa
Grace Wilson , daughter of II. T. Wilson ,
the banker of this city , and It Is thought
probable that this son will not be the prin
cipal heir. The opposition to yrung Vander
bllt's ma-rlage 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
was president of the Canada Southern rail
road , vice president and director of the
Dcach Creek railroad , president of the De
troit & Day City railroad , director of the
Cleveland , Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louts
railroad , director of the Detroit & Chicago
railroad , director of the Dunkirk , Allegheny

SorroTr nt Newport.
NEWPORT , R. I. , Sept. 12. The an

llua Vanderbllt in New York this mornlug

Mr. Vnnderbllt purchased The Breakers
from Pierre Lorlllard In 1884 , and occupied

Sketch of 1IU Career.
Cornelius Vanderbllt was born on Staten
filand November 27 , 1843. William H , Vftn-
darbilt , his father , was at that time a
farmer and Cornelius , at the ago of 18 , lift
ichool and > ecur J a place as meaiengor
in the Shoa and Leather bank , His grand
father , the commodore , learning of this ,
lint for him and aiVed why he bad not ap
plied to him tor a place ,
"Becauae I did not want to oak you ( or
anything , " wa the reply.
Thli ploaioJ the commodore , and It U
eald that he made a codicil , to his will k
tew days later leaving $1,000.000 to his
grandson.
Cornelius left the Shoo and Leather bank
to go Into the employ of Klisain Bro . ,
bankers , but later his grandfather asked
him to enter the railroad service. The
young man was making $ GO n. month and
declined to leave his place unless ho got
more money. He was given $65 and ac
cepted It. He was then about 21 years old.
The first place ho wn < given was that of
assistant treasurer of the New York &
Harlem railroad.
His rise was rapid and ho succeeded his
father ns head of the Vanderbllt sjstem.
Mr. Vanderbllt'a active career was prac
tically closed when ho Buffered a paralytic
stroke in 1896.
Despite his enormous business Interests
he found time to devote to church and
Sunday-school work , which he began early
In life. Ho gave freely to the railroad
branch of thn Young Men's Christian asso
ciation and to the work ot St. Bartholo
mew's Protestant Episcopal church In
New York City.
Mr , Vandcrblll's great business cares
made his life necessarily methodical and he
was noted for his punctuality.
Mr. Vanderbllt went to Europe last spring
and came homo on Juno 24. accompanied
by Mrs. VandorblH and his daughter ,
tilmljg. They went to Newport the same
day and Mr. Vanderbllt Improved con
stantly In his health. On August G he gave
n house party at his home , The Breakers.
The Innt social affair * in The Breakers were
upon the departure of Alfred Vanderbllt
for ft round-the-world trip. He left for
Seattle on July 26 , accompanied by William
Proudflt Burden , Ernest Iselln and Douglas
H. Cochran.
l.t'nvm Flrr Children ,
Mr. Vandorbllt left five children Cor
nelius , Gertrude , Alfred , Reginald and
Gladys. Cornelius married a daughter of
R. T. Wilson , the banker , about two years
ago and later Gertrude became the wife ot
Harry Payne Whitney , son of firmer Secre
tary of the Navy William C. Whitney.
William K. , Frederick W'and George are
the surviving ; brothers of Cornelius Vander
bllt. After the first stroke of paralysis , Mr.
Vanderbllt leased a residence in Washing
ton , D. C. , and upon advice of his physi
cians lived there' for three months , retrain
ing from entertaining , however , and living
very quietly. His sojourn In Washington
was of .Idem benefit , and upon his return
to his h > me In this city In April , 1897 , ho
appeared to many of his friends to ba
nearly ns strong and as well oa ho ever had
been. Plans wore made for a trip to Europe -
rope In the following month.
In the months following his departure h !
friends were delighted by letters describing
his health as steadily growing firmer , and
said that his physicians had consented to
his returning home lu the autumn , but with
the proviso that ho must for an Indefinite
tlmo content hlineolf with a very general
supervision of the Vanderbllt railway sys
tems , and relinquish entirely the detail
work which he had previously taken
upon himself. His promised return
at this time did not take placa
however. EltheMncllnatlon or a change of
opinion on the 'part of his physicians of
whom the celebrated Parisian scientist , Dr.
Charcot , was one prolonged hla atay
abroad. He remained In Paris most of the
tlmo until December , when he went to Mar
seilles and there went aboard hie yacht
for a leisurely winter cruise across the
'
Mediterranean to Alg'orlan and other North
African ports , afterward proceeding up the
Nile. On the journey he was accompanied
by Dr. Chareot , and h.e waa not .then ex
pected to return to' the United States Until
the summer of 1818. !

11011-TAlI.r.I ) ROMANCE.
A Cmnlry Otllerr Who Hml Iilcn * of
Matrimony.
The presence of a young cavalry offlcT
In Chicago last week nnd his subfn.il nt
evolutions In the saloons of the cltv , reports
the Tribune have furnished the dcnou m nt
cf n "bob-tailed" romance of the Spanish
war.
war.Tho young man. who begged the reporter
to refer to him merely as Jackson , registered
nt a downtown hotel and then struck Into
a double-quick for the clubs of his friends.
After the customary shuffle of Introductory
sentiments the lieutenant burst out :
"Say , fellows , 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
after , and we don't know what you and
Hobson have been doing out there In the
Philippines. "
This and similar glbrs were evidence of
the fact that only a full confession woulJ
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 alive by the Flllpln-s.
None of them recognized the young woman.
They Introduced him to sco'ea of other
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 evld nc0 :
"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 spinsters I ever knew give as the reason
ot their single state the plea ( hat their
lovers "went ttway to ( he war and never'camo
back.'I believe that the pressnt war again
offers the same opportunity to every young
woman.
"And this Is-tho favor : In the event of
your d6ath In"the 'v ar , will you give me
permission to say that we were engaged to
be married ? I Inclose my photograph and
remain sincerely , X. Y. Z. ,
"General delivery , Chicago postoffice. "
The return mall carried an affirmative re
ply from the young officer , toeether with
his photograph. Though he begged Imr fo
write to him , he never received any further
communication. Ho served through the war
In Cuba without wounds or sickness and
was then transferred to the Philippines ,
where the climate undermined his health.
Two weeks ago ho landed In San Francisco
on Pick leave and came Immediately to Chicago
cage on his wllf-o'-'the-wlsp mission.
After days of continued search the young
woman was Identified ns a prominent mem
ber of North Side Boclety nnd a mutual
friend volunteered to call with the officer
on the following evening.
At the eight of the bronzed face and
sound of the name the girl was startled out
of her self-possession , but rallied during
the pleasantries sufficiently to continue con
versation
"Lieutenant Jackson has called , " said the
friend maliciously , "to assure you of his
best wishes. "
"Oh , how nlco of you , lieutenant , " she
exclaimed , with vlslbte relief. "And can't
you stay for the wedding , too ? It will bo
next week. "
Iho nicer looked mystined. "You don't
mean to say you're engaged ? " he gasped.
"Why yes ; didn't you know It ? " she re
plied , with a ecowl at the mutual friend.
"But I you why , your letter "
"Oh , yes I know , lieutenant. Rut TVO

wan the consoling response.

BALTIMORE , Sept. 12. Captain N Mayo
Dyer , ono pf the heroes of Manila and
commander ot the cruiser Baltimore In the
memorable conflict ot May 1 , IS'.iS , waa
honored by this city today. Residences and
business houses wore gay with bunting , the
street * were Jammed with people wearing
"Dyer buttons" and "D > er badges" during
the entire day , and nit the ships In thn
harbor , regardless of nationality , were
decked in his honor.
Soon nftcr breakfast Captain Dyer was
token In charge by n special committee nnd
entertained In various ways until 1-30 p.
m. , Mhcn 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 Mtilstcr ,
Meanwhile n procession , composed of the
Fourth and Fifth regiments of the Mary
land National guard , the Naval Rcscnc
corps , the Fifth Regiment Veteran corps ,
two companies of the , United States artil
lery regulars from Fort McHenry , the
Maryland division of the Grand Army of
the Republic and many uniform civic nml
eeml-mllltary organizations , paraded
through the principal streets of the clti ,
passing the city hall , where Captain Dyer
reviewed the procession and where , upon
nn Immense- platform , 3,000 school children
wore eo arranged na to form an Immciibo
imitation of the American flag.
When the parade had passed Ma > or Mal-
ster. on behalf of the city of Baltimore ,
presented to Captain Dyer n eot of resolu
tions commending his conduct nt Manila and
hla record as nn officer , nftcr which hu
handed him n magnlllceut sword , also the
gift of the city council nnd the people of
Baltimore. Capialn Dyer accepted both In
d spcecli full ot gratitude and expressions
of the kindliest feeling toward his hosts
and entertainers.

Is of Damascus atcel. On the scabbard are
representatlous of the coasts of the United
States and Maryland , the Battle and Wash
ington monuments and the cruieor Balti

Rennort rounded out the day's celebra
tion.

"I do not apprehend a famlno in the
Ivory market ftor many years to come , "
said a manufacturer of billiard balls to aNew
Now York Times man , "for , although the
African Jungles hro not yielding' largely
ns formerly , there are other fields of supply
from which wo can draw. "
With th constantly decreasing supply
of l\ory In Africa that highly prized BUb-
Btauco Would Boon command almost pro
hibitive ipnlcca wore It not * for the exlst- [
enoe In t the frozen tundras , of .Siberia , of
n BUfflolent 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
ot the mammoth ( elephas pplmlge-
nltis ) , a species closely allied to the
elephant of India , but protected from the
Imaienso cold of the Arctic regions by a
coat of long , coarse hair grown over a fine
woolly undorfur at the skin.
Thousands of these frozen carcasses are
found crowded and Jammed together
co. tain spots. Solcnco docs not attempt to
explain bow the giant animals were able
to llvo In a cllraato that preserves their |
remains by freezing. The reason for the
great accumulations of mammoths in cer
tain places is also a mystery. The theory
that the bodies were carried there by
'
floods of the rivers flowing from warmer
southern districts Is untenable. Examina
tion ot the stomachs of some of the frozen |
mammoths reveals the presence of parts of j
plno needles and other vegetable sub
stances , from which It Is Inferred that the
tundras must have had a forest growth
during tha mammoth epoch. The same in
dications are found In the stomachs of the
two spectra of rhinoceros which lived con
temporaneously with the mammoth In the
tundras.
Similar concentrated accumulations of
tones of larger recent mammals have been
found in certain districts of cost Africa.
This mammoth Ivory , far from being a
recent discovery , was known to the nn-
clcnta and has been used for centuries as
( the article of commerce and manufacture.
The records show that as early as 1821
ivory of this kind to the extent of 20,000
pounds was marketed in Yakutsk , and that
annual sales in that city from 1825 to 1831
averaged over 60,000 pounds. In 1840 'Dr.
Mlddendorff , who visited the vast territory , ,
estimated that the annual output of Si
berian Ivory reached 110,000 pounds , repre- I
Eontlng at least 100 Individual mammoths. I
Baron Nordenskjold estimated In 1875 Ujnt ,
fully 20,000 Siberian mammoths had con- <
trlbutod their Ivory to the world's markets
slnco the conquest of Siberia.
