VANDERBILTS AT REST. HOW THE MILLIONAIRE’S MAUSO LEUM IS CARBD FOR. The Interest on $500,000 Annually Spent in Keeping One Gravo Green— The Quiet Resting Place of the Old Commodore, the Founder of the Co lossal Vanderbilt' Fortune —An Un visited Tomb. FVtou the Xew York World. Stone is not security; iron is not protec tion, and monumental walls are not unas sailable to the craft and spirit of the age. At least 60 the Vanderbilts seem to think. After spending a fortune for a tomb, detec tives are still kept constantly on duty to guard the bones of the “dead king.” William H. Vanderbilt died a year and a half ago, yet there is no rest for the living kindred or safety for his ashes. It seems to have been his ambition in life to erect a mausoleum for himself and family which should be the wonder of the age and perfect ly secure from pillage. Man’s ingenuity has been exhausted in that behalf, yet the gran ite and iron that have been piled up by the cunning hand of the architect to make a shapely and sightly building, and one that would be proof against assault, are night and day under the surveillance of hired po licemen. The tomb and its surroundings make a sight so suggestive that it is worthy of careful study. To see this perplexing evidence of the Silver of great wealth one takes ship at the attery and sails over that wonderful threshold of New York’s crown and glory —the bay—to the quiet shades of Staton Island. There ho can study a lesson that will do more to recommend his poverty to the poor man and liis cares and toils to the struggler than all the sermons of the pulpits or all the precepts of Henry George. The fruitful text can bo found at New Dorp and about the rolling acres where the Vanderbilt race began in this country and is to be perpetuated in “storied urn and ani mated bust.” The consecrated pile dedi cated to the arbiter of millions is perhaps a mile or more from the quaint Dutch settle meutof the States Island railroad where you leave the train. Nature herself has done much to make the place all that the immor tal yearnings of even kings could have de sired, but the hand of man has fashioned and is fashioning there something that puz zles even the philosopher, earnest student or thoughtful men of every kind. Nowhere else in the land is there a sepul chre so grandiose and significant. Half a million dollars for a tomb! That is the sum that the heirs of the modern Croesus have set aside to carry out the will of the man who once commanded hundreds of millions. Yet all night and all day men well drilled and well armed watch over this huge granite pile and its mouldering contents. A sentry box stands near this grand receptacle for the dead—an amazing comment on the peace and sanctity of the place. The men are kept on guard and worked like soldiers. In addition to these human vigils, a system of signals or burglar alarms is added which penetrate many parts of tho grounds. At stated intervals these are set off by tho sin gle man on his six hours’ turn of duty, and the reserve rapidly assembles at a given point. It is not dress parade, but a sort of arill, that the chief detective exacts of the men whom he hires to guard this mausoleum from pillage. At night the watch is even more vigilant. When darkness brings greater danger from those who would steal the body for a ransom a powerful flame is lighted in the cupola, which shines out over the humble graveyard below unu off upon the waters. Into "this dome one of tho de tectives must go every half hour and touch another alarm, which records tho fidelity of those on watch. Every twelve hours the chief enters the building to seo from this new electric register whether each man on duty during the night lias gone his rounds at the prescribed moment. This caution against theft provokes many interesting re flections. The cost off guarding the remains of Mr. Vanderbilt amounts to a small fortune each year. The interest on the $600,000 said to have been expended on the twenty-one acres of ground and the mortuary edifice which adorns it is a big item. Add to this at least S3O a day for the detective guard which is kopt constantly on duty and it foots up a total of #50,000 a year of outlay to keep at rest the ashes of one man. The place, its surroundings, the guard and the other curiOus evidences of anew fash ion about graveyards since great wealth has made men avaricious to the criminal point, all suggest thought of our new tendencies. This ostentatious mernoraial to money-get ting staiids on the brow of a hill which rolls away on evory-side into acres of lovely per spective and miles of ocean view. As you stand at the base of Croesus’ tomb tho waters of the bay stretch away on every hand. Nothing could be lovelier than the horizon of pale pink und blue, tho purpling waters and the glittering foliage that cur tains the gentle slopo of tho hillside where Flutus is enshrined. From tho very point where the grounds begin which belong to tho Vanderbilt family the country graveyard trends downward to the roadway. Within its inclosure is a modest, old-fashionea church, gray with age. It was built before the present century, and the Vanderbilts were, in their poorest as well as richest days, its chief patrons. It is as nearly Gothic in build us the pursos of the Mora vian deacons would permit. Picturesque and pleasant to the eye, its rusts among the soft outlines of nature's fanciful fashioning. It recalls old St. David's at Radnor, so pleasantly pictured in Longfellow’s charm ing verses: What an image of peace and rest Is this little church among its graves 1 But now this is not a temple amid hum ble surroundings, for the great tomb frowns upon it from the top of the hill, nil arrogant reflex of the new conditions that have in vaded the homely wayside. After all, there are many compensations for tho poor. It is not the grandeur of this mausoleum that im presses you. A study of its lair proportions lioes not long remain in tho memory. It is the thing commemorated that lingers in the mind, and not tho manner of commemoration. It is what this remarkable display of wealth in a tomb means to mankind that makes a visit to it fruitful. There is much in the fact that after exhausting all that human en deavor could do in the way of security to the ashes of the dead that watchers hnve to be set to keep guard over the strongest sepulchre that the ingenuity of man could devise. The ingenuity of man also has to be invoked to certify to the devotion of the men whom money liiros to do this singular duty. As I looked upon the scene at, and about the tomb the apparition of several men, curiously out of keeping with tho swelter ing toilers, arrested attention. They emerge all at once from various points about tho busy place. “ Them’s the detectives,” said the work man busied near by, between tho strokes of his ux. “They have been here ever since t lie body was fetched up from below, where it was put temporary-like. They were down there from tho time ho was buried. They keep mighty strict watch. In the vault in the graveyard below there was some need of it, hut up here I don’t see any. It would take two (lays ior any one to break into this one.” “How long have the remains been in this receptacle<”l asked. "Ever since last winter,’’ he replied. “And have the detectives been hero ever since?” “Yes sir, they live here nil the time and are drilled like a corn puny of soldiers. They all come out so many times a day. whether there is any one about or not. This is done to keep them in discipline und to see if the signals work all right. They have a little house over yonder, where they live." “Do any of the Vanderbilt family come out here I” The workman rested on his ux, scratched ws ear reflectively and said; > “None of them come regular. I have worked here a long time and have seen cone of them hut once.” Anew thought arose. Possibly all this reflection may he wrong. There must, after all, be some secret unction, some mysterious virtue, in these ashes that make them of greater worth than the half-million on mausoleum. That can't be carried off. It must really be a sentiment. Sleeping in tho “Gods acre” below the Vanderbilt tomb are the graves of many an nonost burgher, chief among them the ashes of the mighty Commodore. Many a man wdio, no doubt, made others happy in a simple way; many a man who lived a kind ly life anti diet! an exemplary death lies there; but there is not even one man to guard all the other graves on Staten Island, or for that matter six men to guard all the graves in all tho graveyards that lie from ocean to ocean on the o<mtinent. Can it be that the ashes of this Vanderbilt contain some hidden power, the secret alchemy that turns common metal.into gold? In an Ara bian tale there is told of a handful of ashes scattered to the winds that would raise a crop of gold-bearing, jewel-producing, life gtving growth. Perhaps there is another here, and that to keep tiiis secret the heirs of tho necromancer are gun rding his clay in this prodigious pyramid of stone. But this towering monument to wealth is not the most suggestive incident of this scene. Wander down the hill into the hum blo churchyard. There is a secluded dell in modest obscurity, but quite a distance below the shadow of the obtrusive dome, an un cared-for tomb can be found. Noar it I saw a gravedigger, serene and even jocular, like Hamlet’s friend, quite ready to com ment on the quiet contentment of this placid domain. “Whose tomb is thin?” said I, more to give him a breathing spell from his work than anything else. He looked up and seemed rather delighted to be able to give words to tho thoughts that had been crowding his mind and said: “That’s the Commodore's tomb.” He spoke as if somewhat astonished that I should have asked, and I think he rather enjoyed the-surprised tone in which I in quired : “Is there no guard kept over Commodore Vanderbilt’s ashes ?” “Oh, no. He never needed any, and I don’t think his son needs any, either.” “But why is not the Commodore buried up in the big mausoleum with his son?” “That, you know, is just outside tho graveyard." said the attendant on the city of the dead, “and tho old Commodore always wanted to be buried down here. He gave these grounds to the Moravian Church, where all his kinfolks, as well as himself, went to meeting for many a year, and he had a mighty warm side for this whole set tlement. The Commodore wasn’t such a hard man when you got right into him,” and there was a shrewd twinkle in the gravedigger's eye as ho added, “But mighty few men could get into him. Many of the people round hero thought a good deal of the old man. He gave his son Wil liam that farm just across the road yonder, and in a good many ways showed his liking for this place.” “If the Commodore was so fond of Staten Island, and especially of this littlo church and this quiet graveyard, why is it that his tomb is so neglected? Why no fresh flow ers and shrubbery ? —and even the whitewash is scaling from the stone, ” I added. “Yes, that’s so.” mused the workman, “but you see we hain’t got no orders about doing anything. The old vault stays just as it is, year in and year out. Mighty few poople ever come near it, except out of cu riosity.” Then he added, musingly: “But I reckon the old Commodore wouldn’t care much. He dind't go much on show nohow. I reckon he would be contented to know that his bones rest in this graveyard, no matter how.” I glanced at the huge stone edifice above on the hill and reflected that tho world had already recorded its estimate of tho two men, greatly in favor of the old Commo dore. After all, what could be better than that? The humble and secluded sepulchre, the green sod, the singing birds, and the whispering breeze were far more impres sive, taken together with the greater monu ment he left m tho mighty city within can non shot und gave to his son, than the grand pile kept intact by a sum that would feed and clothe a hundred—yes, 500 —families. A HUMAN RATTLESNAKE. The Dangerous Bite of a Blue-Gummed Negro. Mobile (Ala.) Correspondent Globe-Democrat. A species of what may be termed a human rattlesnake is creating considerable interest here, and an incident of ( two days ago tends to awaken an investigation of scientific im portance. Officer W. J. York, while ar resting a negro Tuesday, was bitten in the hand by the negro, and since that time tho hand has become greatly inflamed and swollen. In February last Officer John King, one of the bust men on the police force, was bitten in a similar manner by a negro whom he had under arrest. In two days Kang’s hand swelled, and then the inflammation at tacked his arms and logs, and for two weeks his life was in danger. Since then ho has Ixien slowly recovering, but is not yet able to put bis'right foot on the grouiid. The negroes and some whites declared that the nezroe had blue gums, and that only those with blue gums hnve poisonous bites. This lieliof is generullv held and the colored peo plo have, it seems, an aphorism: “Don’t fight with a blue-gummed coon.” Much interest w-as taken in King’s case, and as soon as York was bitten an exami nation of the negro was made, and it w-as discovered that his gums are of a bright blue color. In both cases of biting the ne groes were very deeply enraged. A Negro Story. From Harper's Magazine for July. An old negro woman was employed as cook in tho family of a Mr. S—Though a good servant in most respects, she had a propensity for petty thieving that was very annoying to lieu - mistress. Mrs. 8 often missed small quantities of tea, coffee, sugar, ote., but the cook always stoutly main tained her innocence when questioned, und In this she was usually supported by Miss Florence S , a kind-hearted (laughter of the family. One day Aunt Tildy (the cook) was charged with a more serious theft than usual. At first she seemed at a loss for a reply, but she suddenly burst out with: "I doan’ bilevel tuk dat ting— no I doan’. But if Miss Flaw’nce done suy I tuk it, den I b’lieve it. Miss Flaw’noe tell dotruf; I b’lieve all what she say. Jus’ you ax Miss Flaw’nce, an if she say so, den I b'liovo it— no oder way, nohow.” MEDICAL.
