Ho put William H. on tho furm at New Dorp, 8, 1., and told him to make his own way. The young nisn had a pretty hard row to boo. Fnally it got to a point whero ho could not make both ends meet and he was obliged to secuie money to help him through. He concluded to raise $10,000 by putting a mortgage on the farm.

Ho went to a man ho was friend of both the Commodore and himself. This person could not let him bavo it and said "Why don't you go to the Commodore "It wouldn't do any good," said William Jf. He would not hit mo hava a dollar." "I'll seo him," said the mutual friend. "It would be no use," remarked William H. The man, however, went to tha Commodore and told him how hard np William H.

was. It don't make any difference," said tho Commodore. He's got to take care of himself." But he's got to get this money' of some one," persisted the man. I can't help retorted thfl Commodore. "He can't get it of mo." After a pause the Commodore added I'll toll yon what I'll do.

I'll let you have it and you can lend it to him." And that was tho way the elder Vanderbilt helped the subsequent heir to his vast fortune.

Vanderbilt has increased $42,000,000 since his death TIIK WAV TUB MILLION'S HAVE OltOWK, The manner of tho Increase Is both plain and natural. In the first place, tha Vanderbilt eBtate was the best invested in the world.

Many of tho securities owned by the Vanderbilt, for Instance the Government bonds, pay only 4 per cent but many others, like railroad stock and bonds, pay from 6 to 8 per so that an average of per cent, is under rather than over the correct rale of Income from tho en. tire ntnouiit.

In addition, profitable Investments have been made with the Income. Taken altogether, the Increase In the combined Vanderbilt wealth outside of the in-tercst easily reaches which, added to interest computed at $34,000,000, makes up the estimated gain of $02,000,000 and $2,000,000 more.

Mrs. William is the daughter of a clergyman, and a singularly unaffected and klnd-rwartcd wemnn. She never indulged in show of any kind, and preferred her domestic pleasures to any other. There were few lappier families than Wlllium II. Vanderbilt'.

Cornelius Vanderbilt is looked upon ns the head of the Vanderbilt family, he is a gray, thoughtful man, who devotes lilmull 'assiduously to tha Interest of the Vsndeibilt railroads. Ho will probably remain the directing power of these corporations as long as ho lives. Ho was the favorite grandson of Commodore Vanderbilt, whose name he bore, mid bo was tho favorilA son of his father, whose affairs ho locked after from tho timo he was old entiigh to assume business responsibilities.

Since that timo his yacht, tho Alva, hos been built, and ho has obtained recognition in the aristocratic circles of Europe. He Is a club mini. Ho has not applied himself to business affairs to any extent in the pant two year and is not likely to take active part in tha management of the Vau-df ibllt properties In the future.

UOUSST Mr.MHI!llH OP TUB KAMII.Y. Less, perhaps, Is heard of Frederick W. Vinderbllt than of any of tho others. Ho is a rather slight and dapper young man, who seems to care nothing for society nor public prominence. He Is tho only ono who seem to havo any of hi father's fondness tor horseB, but ha has not attempted to secure animals famous for their speed.

Jto has good business qualities, and Is giving con-sidciable attention to railroad affairs, George W. Vanderbilt, tho youngest of tho brothers, Is tho only unmarried one, und also the only unmarried member of the family. He is studious and has a strong literary bent. He has a line library, in which most of his time Is spent. His health is not particularly good.

Vory little is seen of him in society. Ha will never as.ume business cares, as they are not agreeable to him. 1 All tho daughters of the late Willlom Vsndcibilt are prominent In society. Mrs. Hhepard, like her husband, Col.

Bhopord, is interested in religious work. Mr. Vanderbilt gave each of his married children a house. Tho one presented to Fndeiick W. was Ihe old mansion at Fifth avenue and Fortieth street, whoro ho lived before moving up to the brown stono palace at Fifty-first street The north half of hi new residence, divided to suit two ftmiliea, he gave to Mm.

Shepard and Mrs. Sloane. For tho others new and soparoto houses were built. The mansion at Fifth avenno and Fitly-first street reverts to George W. Vanderbilt on tho death of Mr.

There Is no disposition on tho part of tho Vanderbilt to make investments In enterprises outside of tiie railroads controlled by them. They liuvc little real estate outside of their city hoiiit'H and country places.

The security of their fortunes Is so great that it seems Impossible for anything to happen that will impair them. William H. Vander bilt exacted a promise from his sons not to gamble in slocks, and they aro not likely to break their pledges and risk their fortunes In Wull street. The VanderbiltB do not go about guarded tv armed detectives, nor do thov havo armed watchmen to keep vigils whtlo they sloop. There is no need of it.

No attempts have ever been made on their lives and very few threatening letters havo boon received by them. They are considerate to their employees and agreeable to peoplo they come in contact with, SOWK IIOMANCES AllOtJT THE Much has been written abor.t tho Vanderbilt wealth that showed an utter disregard of facts, and, In addition, was poor guess work. Not long ago there appeared an ela-boiate story of the way In which Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt lived.

It pictured tho most luxurious existence and said that she was tho richest woman in the world, not excepting Queen Victoria, whereas, oh already stated, she has only an annuity, and whilo living in a magnificent house is singularly plain in her ways and wants. A short time before the death of W. II. Vanderbilt tho New York correspondent of a Chicago newspaper wrote a story about his wealth that was followed by romarkiiblo remits. Tho correspondent ohilmed that be walked behind Mr.

Vanderbilt ono evening while tho latter was going from tho Wind-nil' hotel to his residence, four blocks above. Mr, Vanderbilt loached In an inner pm ket for handkerchief or something else, and in so doing pulled out a paper whiih fell unnoticed by him to the walk. Tho correspondent picked it up and on examining it found It to be a camplcto inventory wealth. It showed how ninny and the different kinds of stocks and bonds he owned, and also contained an Herniated statement of his other possessions, Including real estate and works of art. Altogether tliu Aii tunc of Mr.

Vanderbilt amounted to Of course, tho entire story was an Invention, but It attracted attention, It wss copied In Hie journals all over Europe. Every tiny for a long time Mr, Vumlorbilt received a bushel of lutters from auross tho ocean containing supplications for gifts of money, The greatest number came from Gciiniiuy. where huge fortunes are comparatively unknown. As money Iu that country Is counted In marks, which aro equal to 23 cent, Mr, Vsuduibilt's wealth made a long row of figures when translated nothing less than 040,000,000 marks.

Tt Is pretty well known that there win no friendship between. Mr. Vanderbilt and Jay Gould. Old Commodorn Vandeibilt would have nothing to do with Mr, Gould, and William H. vanderbilt would havo been much better off If he had followed tho example of his father.

According to the story, which has never been denied, Mr, Gould fanned him to loso many million dollar lua Wall street operation. The stock nuttket had become very skaky and a di-astious collapse was threatened. The Vaa-del bill and Gould stocks were tho leading SGttititlcS. By a scheme which Mr. Gould Inn) devised, Mr.

A private letter from Bongalo, on the Congo, gives, under date of November 5, 1888, some Information about Henry M. Stanley, which has not yet appeared In any of the published accounts of his movements. Stiinley," it says, "arrived at Urenfa on August 17, with the carriers furnished by Emin Pasha.

Tho next day the four white men who had accompanied him also reached that point Stanley wrote a letter to'I'ippoo Tib, telling him, in effect, that ho came from Albeit Nyanzo, whero he hud joined Emin Pasha. Ho found everything In good condition (here Emin Pasha and Casati In good health, and all their people well. They wore ell provided with supplies, including wines, and more than a thousand head of fat cattle, as well as sheep, goats, and chickens in abundance. His return voyage had been (fleeted in eighty-two days. His company was in good health, and his Iossob wore limited to three negroes.

He did not say how long the journey to tho hike had taken. "lie entreated Tippoo Tib to accompany him back to Emin, saying that he would wait for him at I'renia for tpn days, and would start on the eleventh day with the goods he left there and M. Bonny, tho last of the five Europeans left with him, (Bar-thelot having been killed at Urenia, Jumie-son having died at Bongalo on August 20, and Ward and Itooto having returned to Europe.) To decide Tippoo Tib to accompany him he dwelt upon the great quantity of ivory ho could bring back all that in Emin Pasha's possession. 1 do not really think Emin Pasha would have given Tip-poo his ivory, for Tippoo hod nothing with which to pay for it. It was probably an arti-fle on Stanley's part, who had one of two objects In view for which he had need of Tip-poo's aid, and he thus tried to persuade hiin.

Tippoo Tib must have understood Ihis, for ho diil not accompany Stanley, but like a practical man, and ono who wished to make something out of Stanley's journey, ho caused tho explorer to bo followed at a distanco by one of hi devoted lieutenants, fiuid-ben-Mohomed, who will reconnoitre tho route and make raids for slaves in tho ticw country. Stanley has broken the contract mado by Bartholot for the 400 carriers furnished by tho Arabs, end ha taken only 100 of tin in wilh him. For tho rest, the men of Emin Pasha must sulllce. On September 1 Stanley started on his Journey to rejoin Emin Pasha. What will ho do afterward He has not told his plans, except that lie will not return by way of the Congo.

Major Bartholot would have coino buck along tho Monto NV.Ign. Will Stanley take that route? On September 14, Stanley's courier bound for Europe, arrived nt Talll, commended to the protection of tho Hesidont of the Congo State, but without any kind of a message. Now this courier (who bears only ono letter, addressed to Brown), has boon dctiilncd at Talll by an unfortunate illness.

Now that the Oppoxi- tion are beginning to investigate scandals others are cropping up in profusion and ministers are likely to have a hard timo of it before the session comes to a closo. Bo-sides those I have already hinted at another comes to light to-day. It is alleged that a certain contractor rocelved a job that paid him four hundred per cent on his outlay, hut out of his profits he had to pay $3,500.

He made no fuss, as Lockwood did, for he was better paid. This bonud was, it is said, applied to election expenses, but if the contiactor's bill was a reasonable one, the question arises, why should he bo obliged to contribute to election funds?
