Nzw York, May 23.—'There is no naif
so much mystery about New Yorkfllubs
as people imagine. Wliat may be turned
tbe woman’s idaa of a club is shaed by
a great many men who have bad D club
experience, and who judge club He trom
heresar. The belief that a club hoisa is a
temple of inscrutable mysteries is really
what causes the club to be so much talked
about as an institution. A gre;t many
many men believe that if they g 4 into a
good club their position in sociey is as
sured. That a club is an assistaice to a
man of social aspirations is true,but the
mere fact of being aclubmemberloes not
open the portals of society to'he best
men in the world. The cold faek about
club lite are that unless a man mounts
to something outside ot a club
ne will never amount to atrthing
in one, and that a very great
man can never be an extensive
club man. The surest candidates or ad
mission to any club are men w>o are
utterly unknown. A prominent van is
sure to have enemies and no eneraes are
so dangerous as those in clubs. Accord
ing to the ideas of women there Ia con
tinual orgie going on in the club louses.
People who have that idea shoud spend
an hour, a dav, a week, or a nonth at
what is probably the most prdentious
and successful of New York ebbs —the
Hnion League. Anybody who can con
strue a visit to this club’in thf light of a
racket would pronounce a regulation
Wednesday nisht Methodist jrayer meet
ing a voluptuous debauch The club
bouse is magnificent, candidates
have to wait four or live years before
tbeir names come up for idmissioo, and
when they get in they tint that, they are
just as far along socially as when they
were outside. The house is as still as
death, the members do vot speak to each
other unless ceremonicusly introduced,
and they will lrequent the same room for
years without recognizing each other in
ike slightest desire, unless brought
together by sera* mutual friend.
The man who (peaks in a vigor
ous and resonant voice, Is stared at
with such cold disdrin from all sides that
be leels, after an experience ol half an
hour, as though a rasping and brutal
death would be a rdiet. Onlv a handful
of the hundreds of members of the Union
League are acquainted. The regular life
of a Union Leaguer consists of passing sol
emnly within the portals of the club house
and moving with more or less pompous
solemnity through the big Fifth’Avenue
room where the heavy-weights sit reading
with great reticence" and exclusiveness.
Asa form of mild dissipation he may later
nn indulge in a dismal and silent game of
billiards. Then he goes home. The street
is like a pandemonium alter the awful
stillness ol the club bouse.
Tint UNION tt.UB.
Is distinguished by mucl more freedom
of intercourse and"good fellowship among
the members. The Union is essentially
a club of millionaires, aid on its list are
the names ot all the proninent yachting,
coaching and shooting m;n in town. The
members run to a riel old burgundy
color ot the cheek, gentle rotundity of
form, and they are one and all imbued
with a high estimate of the greatness ol
the Union Club. Indeed, it is on this ac
count that the club fs chiefly distin
guished. It is a law unto itself, and no
member of the Union will ever admit
that there is a butter club than
his own in the universe. While
it is true that the Freddy (lebhards and
half a dozen other youngsters whose mill
ions have turned their heads have at
times brought more or less dis
credit upon the Union, it still
remains tne ideal ot a dashing, high
tired, and moneyed orjanieatlon. tilled
with men whose only anbition is to enjoy
life. Membership to the Union does not
count for much in the nore exclusive cir
cles of society, as many business men,
auctioneers, and brokers of scant refine
ment and lew accom|lishmentsare in the
club. But among club men nothing goes
so far in recommending a man as the
magical words “he’r a member of the
Union.”
Viewed from a society standpoint, the
Coaching Club is unquestionably the
leading club of New York, for it is made
up entirely of millionaires—a man must
have a million t run a couch —and its
regular quarters are in what is recognized
s the society club of New York, the
Knickerbocker. This club was an off
shoot of the Union, and its rules are so
exceptionally rigid that if a man gets into
the Knickerbocker be is received more
cordially into society than if be were a
member of all the other clubs in New
Vork. The Knickerbocker is English in
iu aspirations, but in this it only mirrors
society which has a decidedly angioma
mac bent just uow. They blackball nn
I'nglish J'fd at the Knickerbocker with
the utnTvr,: calmness and recognize the
•xisteriee of very lew other clubs in New
Vork.
As the Knickerbocker sprang from the
’ nion soihe Calumet Club may be de
scribed as au off-shoot of the Knicker
bocker. It is composed of a number of
well dressed and preternaturally solemn
young men who believe in good form, so
ciety and the Calumet. They haven’t
inueti money, but they have an exceetl
ingly pleasant club and it is growing con
stantly.
A CLUB or WHICH LITTLK IS HEARD,
hut which has an admirable reputation in
the world of club men, is the Bt. Nicholas.
j*o man is eligible to membership unless
ms family lived in New York prior to
Lsn. it has been claimed by men who
re not the descendants of old New York
ers that there is something snobbish
’ B this idea of excluding from the
c. Nicholas all men except those
whose families are well known. The
criticism is absurd. The object of found
’he bt. Nicholas upon its presept plan
"ns to get Into one club all the New Vork
buys who had been acquainted with one
•bother from tufancy. and whose fathers
•'ere playmates. The result is a happy
combination of old Iriendaand their sons.

*“*• - ,A stock la ae oioeeiy bald that
the quotations never see the light. The
building resembles an old brick castle.
It is fireproof. There are no frnut win
dows above the ground floor. The bank”
itself is substantially turmsbed. Thero
are spacious retiring-rooms, with tessel
lated floors, easy chairs and sofas, and
baize covered tables. The remainder of
the building is used by the Lincoln Safe
Deposit Company, which is amo under the
supervision of Mr. Janies. These vaults
ara also owned by the Vanderbilts, While
providing a place of security for thoir
own valuables, they did a stroke of busi
ness by extending the vaults, rentiug
several thousand iron boxes to the public.
The stock is all held in the family, it pays
goodly dividends.
NOT AN ATOM OF WOOD
was used In the construction of tho entire
building. It stands a monument to the
sagacity of the modern Croesus—a pile of
brick, marble, steel, iron, and glass. The
silence within is so profound that you
might almost fancy yourself iu a cathe
dral before a shrine. Mr. James is iu
eostacy over its beauty, and gladly shows
its wonders to bis friends.
“Come with me and look at the vaults,”
he said, after mutual greetings were
passed, and the architectural chasteness
of the edifice was duly praised. We fol
lowed him through a network of steel
fences. There was a guardian in uniform
at each aoor. The massive locks flew
back at the “open sesame” of the Presi
dent. and again snapped in place after we
entered. After passing four gates we
stood in the strong room of the Vander
bilt family. It was like standing in a
tomb. The iron boxes were painted
white, and were in tiers like marble sar
cophagus. “These,” said the Colonel,
pointing to the massive handles of several
huge iron troughs in the lower right hand
corner, “were the boxes in which Wrn.H.
Vanderbilt deposited his treasures.”
EACH BOX WOULD HOLD A SECTION
of the obelisk in Central Park. It was in
one of these receptacles that Mr. Van
derbilt kept tor months over $50,000,000 of
government boods. At times two men
were kept busy day and night clipping off
the coupons, the interest being collected
by the bank. Another huge drawer was
heaped with railroad stocks, and a third
with bonds. A fourth was filled with
deeds, and the remaining ones with va
rious other valuable papers. It is safe to
say that treasures representing over $300,-
000,000 were frequently deposited in these
great tubes. To the left were Iron draw
ers used by the four sons and ihe four
sons-in-law of William H. Vander
bilt. The father’s slides have
fallen to William K. and Cornelius
Vanderbilt. The drawers of George and
Fred Vanderbilt are small affairs in com
parison with t bose of their brothers. Fred
was the highflyer and George the book
worm of the family, and they came out at
the little end of the horn when the will
was read. In other words, they each got
no more than $10,000,000. Of tne sons-in
law Wm. feloane seems to have the larg
est box. Klliot Shepherd comes next
with H. McK. Twembly a good third, and
Dr. Seward Webh a fair fourth. The solid
business son-in-law is Mr. Sloane.
He is a big carpet mer
chant, a thoroughly independent
business man, and be never parades his
relationship to tbe Vanderbilts. Shep
herd was a briefless barrister before bis
marriage. He is now, it is said, trying to
buy a baronial estate on the Eastern con
tinent. He is an admirer ol the cut-glass
bedstead, bought in Europe by his father
in-law (or $25,000. Twombly, the third
son-in-law, is said to be worth $3,000,000
independent of his wile. He is the brother
ot' Horatio N. Twomblv, an old New
Hamnshire type-setter, and was himself
a jour printer. Dr. Webb, the fourth
son-in-law Is a son of the old General.
James Watson Webb, who fought aduel
with Tom Marshall, of Kentucky. Tbe
Doctor has neither the physical nor in
tellectual Ri-raan characteristics of bis
father. He dropped his profession as
soon as he was engaged to Miss Vander
bilt. lie has been called the Amerioan
Ashmead-Bartlett, butthis is a misnomer
lor Dr. Webb’s wife is both young and
pretty.
After leaving the strong room of the
Vanderbilts, we climbed tbe stair* to au
upper story, where great trunks filled
with family plate and other valuables are
stored. One of these trunks was nearly
as large as the cabooseof a freight train.
Its contents were exposed to view by the
watchman, 't hey were a dinner service
of solid gold, that cost over $150,000. Tne
service was originally made lor tbe Em
peror Nicholas, of Russia. It is sprinkled
with crowns and double-beaded eagles ot
the same preciousmptal. It finally fell into
the hands of a nobleman, once an attache
of the Austrian legation here. Hisdaugh
ter married an American, and the Baron
gave her the dinner set as a wedding
present. It is used about once every four
years. Each piece of plate is kept in a bag
of chamois skin. Tne chasing, ornament
ation and filigree are marvels of skill and
beauty. The epergne is said to be unriv
alled as a work of the jeweler’s art. The
gold is eighteen knrat fine and at market
rates is worth over $135,000.
Another trunk In this room contained
many of the presents sent to Gen. Sher
man’s daughter as wedding gilts, includ
ing the $150,000 diamond necklaoe for
warded bv the Khedive of Kgvpt. There
were probably 250 trunks in tbe loft, all
packed with treasure and ownod by
prominent and wealthy citizens. The
total value of tbeir Contents at
a rough guess was over $10,000,000.
The property represented iu tbe Safe
Deposit Company and distributed else
where about the building canuot to-day
tie worth less than $500,000,000. Indeed,
it is Safe to say that this edifice contains
more wealth than any other building in
the country outside of the Treasury in
Washington. The sub-Treasury in Wall
street cannot hold a candle to it in actual
wealth, and there are very few, if any,
blocks on that moneyed thoroughfare
that equal ft.

A Minister in Jail.
From the Mudiaou ( (id.) Mldisemian,
As an evidence that nearly every child
has an instinctive veneration tor a minis
ter of the gospel, we mention a little inci
eent that occurred in our county jail yes
terday. llev. J. S. Bryan, pastor of the
Mett odist church, visited the jail to see
aud talk with voting Crawford, now con
fined and awaiting his trial on the charge
of murder. While theie talking with Mr.
Crawford, a little daughter of Hon. P. 8.
Burney happened to pa*>*. and seeing
the preacher Iti jad was surprised
nnd immediately asked Mr. Bryan: “Do
thpv put preachers in jail?” He replied
“thev did when tbev did wrong.” “Is
the door looked?” He told her it whs.
and tbe little innocent immediately re
turned home to tell her mother that a
preacher was in jail. This should teach
ail ministers to feud very circumspect
lives. Little children think they are too
good to bo Jailed, and tbeir conduct
should be ever such as to Indicate the
innocent and guileless belief thus Illus
trated by this little girl.
