A MILLIONAIRE'S WIPE. The Mother of the Present Vanderbilt Family and Her Astonishing Career. Prom the Philadelphia Press. New York, Aug. 30.—Tbe other day, on Fifth avenue, I saw a little woman, who, at the lirst glance, would not tempt the eye to rest upon her an instant, a plain everyday little woman of the kind men of sense most admire, of the kind that supplies the world with good mothers and wives—one of those quiet, modest ladylike bodies that one sees so many thousands of in the big cities with out really noting them unless a second glance reveals the genteel plain ness of their • attire, the trim ness of their figures and the almost shy pre-occupation of their minds. Yet, if one lived in an age of marvels, or of brigands, and tins unimpressive little figure was stolen from tho city and held for ran som, she could bring her captors twenty-five millions, aye four times as much, and with out impoverishing her family. For, as she was pointed out to me, I was told she was Mrs. William 11. Vanderbilt, relict of the man who when he lived was tile richest man on earth. And yet she wore no diamonds, showed no glint of gold or silver from head to feet, and she was walking—like the rest of us. Some few very rich jiersoas are interest ing in spito of their wealth. She is admir able apart from hers—in herself. Impor tant, rather than interesting, is the word to apply to her career. Neither she nor her husband foresaw—perhaps they never since thought of it —the consequence of her bring ing into that stolid, accretive Dutch blood the admixture of her distinctly different temperament. She was a Miss Kissam, daughter of an American clergyman, whose stock was, I think, originally English. She had the extreme good fortune to marry Vanderbilt when he was working for his father for *1,1)00 a year, poor dependent, and as thoroughly in awe of thq old Commodore as when he was a lad. She married “Dill,’’ as lie was called, when he had no thought of anything but farming. Wedded thus to hard work, simple fare and the proverbial Dutch duty of constant motherhood, her husband’s ambition en forced straightened circumstances upon both, for, on taking full charge of the farm, he heavily mortgaged the land to get the means to develop it. In those years her part was to work and save with might and main and to feel the care and pain of a rapidly increasing family. Amid these circumstances her character devel oped and amid them her girls and boys were horn—all of them to work. INHERITED MATERNAL TRAITS. All their present millions would not buy them what this gained for them, because with those conditions came modesty, confi dence—the discipline of childhood in the tamily of a thrifty, hard-beaded working man; ami their father was so much of a workingman that it is the firm belief of every Vanderbilt that he killed himself finally by overwork. But quite equal to this training was the mother’s blood in their veins, w hich tempered the Vanderbilt na ture and broadened it in channels leading far away from tiie good enough, but al together narrow, Hollandish qualities of the Vanderbilts. Tho old Dutch stock of the entire valley of the Hudson is all alike. Its qualities—except the grossly sensual ones—are mainly admirable and calcu lated to keep the descendants far from the poor-house. You see these people iu great numbers in Albany, Newburgh and Pough keepsie, and they are all heavy eaters, stal wart drinkers, members of big taniilles and rich. You do not see among them any love of literature, ami, except a fashionable fond ness for art, any public spirit that is not either hard to move or ostentatious. All distinct stocks, such as that, need leavening, and that is what Mrs. Vanderbilt did for her part of that stock. Her daughters arc some thing more than mere women and she has helped them int*> good marriages. The boys are all better than mere money-grabbers; they are ambitious beyond and apart from that. She bore Vanderbilt eight children: Mar garet, now Mrs. Eliot F. Shepherd, Corne lius, William K., Emily, noW Mrs. Emily Thorn Sloane, wife of the great carpet dealer; Frederick W., Florence Adele, now wife of W. McR. Twombley, the pushing Westerner, now in charge of some of the heavier Vanderbilt interests; Lela, who married Dr. W. Seward Webb, son of tho old fighting editor, Dr. James Watson Webb and now head of the New York Cen tral Parlor Car Company, and George W., the eighth child and fourth son. Not a girl has married what, in England, is called an “aristocrat;” an idler. Every man-jack of their husbands made his way in the world before ho married a Vanderbilt. Tho boys also took care of tbe.nselvos. The two t 1 ier sons, Cornelius and William K., want to enter public life—try to imagino the Commodore or William If. harboring such a thought, if you can. They want to distinguish themselves among ana for the people. Bat for the Hertry George movement last year, one or the other would have been nominated for Mayor by the Re publicans; but the brothers lmd souse enough to see what an ugly tiglit that would make. Cornelius works hauler than most verv poor men. Like President Cleveland, he cannot leave details to subordi nates. Ho is what you might call the head of finance of the Vanderbilt system, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Central and Harlem, and deep in responsi bility on the other lines. He is 40 years old, and worth about. *75,000,000. When he was W boy bis father got him a clerkship in the bhoe and Leather Bank. He refused a tour of Europe then because it would take him from his desk, and he is just as assiduous now, so much so that his friends fear lie is hurting himself. Fancy a man wortli *75,000.000 killing himself with work. Queer world, isn’t it! CHARACTERISTICS OE THE SONS. William K. takes life much more easily and holds lighter offices. -Still he has his hands full and works every day, eleven months in the year, as most men would never dream of doing had they Ills enormous pile. He got substantial training in bis youth, also, as a clerk in the office of the Hudson River road. Neither of these men has any vice or any hobbies except that of attention to business. Both go straight home from their work, are true to their wives and fond of their families, possess libraries that they en ov and encourage tlioig wives to devote "time and money to worthy charities. Their younger brother “Fred,” “the third boy, is credited with being the smartest of them all. He is be lieved to have turned the *13,000,000 he startl'd with into *30,000,000 already. He seems to havo inherited an uncommon share of the genius of the old Commodore. Fred revealed tiis talents before William 11. died. Once' when the old man came home from Europe, he found that his boys had all been up to the nock in Wall street. William K. and Cornelius were all tangled un, and glad to interest their father and use ills ad vice tb make their losses as tight as possi ble. But when tho old man got around to Fred, that youth remarked, “Don’t worry nlxiut me; I’m not in need of help.” Be had climbed ill on the oppo site side of the market. He is a sure-enough Vanderbilt, thouyh lie is in debt to his mother for a fund of amiability that was not u striking trait with cither his father or the Commodore.. Tho wonder of the family, however, is young George, who is 23 years of age and of a literary turn. It is a little hard to be lieve that of a Vanderbilt, but George is distinctly a student, and ambitious to pro duce literary work. He is to lie pitied for his heulth, though, which is far from what it ought to lie. He seems not to possess the Vanderbiltian faculty of acquiring largo fractions of tho earth, but hi 1 will never lie poor. The Commodore left him a million, and his father doubled it as his guardian. For *1 his father doedod him the family properly on Staten Island, and be is now tfco keeper of tho family mausoleum, as well. Hire and there among tbe children the mother's qualities may not shine, but they are not lacking iu any of the family, and all are bettor for the ponsesslon of them. I tbiuk it vffi be found that tho world will be better for it, also, because these new \ anderbilts are all ambitious to distinguish themselves as something better tbun mere .mgnets possessed of the power to attract A RETROSPECT. If ever anyone’s thoughts were worth a penny those of this mother of tho Vander - bilts must be. How strange it must be for her to recall her girlhood as the daughter of a hard-worked, old-fashioned clergyman, then to get, in her mind’s eye, a glimpse of herself poorer yet as the wife of a cautious Dutch farmer—and now to turn into the marble court between tho solid bronze lamps at the door of the grandest house in New \ ork, with its wondrous gallery of paint ings and statuary, and its appointments unique in their elegance. Ten to one, ns I said before, she’ has not thought of what her lineage lias done for her children, other than with the proud reflection that all are virtuous and talented men and women. One thing she cannot help acknowledging to herself. In the Commodore’s time it was as hard for a Vanderbiit to enter the lists of what is called society as for a camel to dodge through the traditional needle’s eye, whereas since she became tfie manager of the family fate, lo! the name of Vanderbilt hus got there, while certain other gilded names of millionaires— I mean the bearers of them—are pale with envy and weary with waiting. In her having offspring, also, some of the other magnates of finance that the simple world thinks so fortunate find cause to envy the little Vanderbilt mother. Russell Huge and Ills wife, with all their millions, have been left childless, and, unless I am illy posted or forgetful, of all that coterie I de scribed at the Western Union’s free lunch in my last letter (Gould, Hugo, Dillon, Field and Cornell) only Jay Gould is a father. In all the old fairy and folk tali* it was the rich who were forever sighing and plotting for children, and it looks as if tho centuries haven’t changed their luck. Not all the old rules hold out so well,how ever. Here are the Vanderbilts of the third generation nearly all increasing their wealth, tho Asters are managing their fortunes with consummate shrewdness, and now young George Gould is getting credit for amazing financial ability. What becomes of the proverb that “men save for their children to waste!” MARRIED AT 80. An Old-Time Dancing Master Weds a Bride of 08. Prom the Philadelphia Times. An old-fashioned couple were the last pas sengers to leave tho ferry boat Baltic when it ran into the slip at Market street, Cam den, shortly after i) o’clock yesterday morn ing. The man’s long hair was white as snow, and his patriarchal beard fell in waves on the bosom of his old-fashioned ruffled shirt. The sun glittered on his patent-leather pumps, that he hadn’t worn before for more than twenty-five years, and his black cut away coat, with its velvet collar, showed that it was cut many years ago. His stove pipe hat belonged to tho back-numbered model of high huts that were worn by the ancient swells of this city, and his cane, on which he leaned heavily, was full of little knobs like an Irish blackthorn. Tho woman was dressed In the garb of a Quakeress, and from beneath her old-fash ioned steel-colored straight bonuet peeped pretty silver curls. Everybody turned and looked after the old folks as they walked slowly up from the ferry. HUNTING FOR THE ’(SQUIRE. While tho old lady was smiling and chat ting the old man kept constantly peeping up through his silver-rimmed spectacles at the signs swinging in front of the stores on the north side of Market street. They stopped at several shops and tho storekeepers came out and pointed up Market street. Then the storekeepers smiled anil watched the old couple as they stopped two or three small boys further up the street and saw the boys ixiint their fingers still further up the street. ’Squire Schmidt, Camden’s German justice was stroking his beautiful sorrel colored whiskers in his cigar store and police court on Market street, near Third, when he heard a voice in the store say, “Well, Em, here it is at last,” and in an instant the old-fash ioned couple walked in. The old man made a dignified salute and his quaint companion made a courtsey. Squire Schmidt slipped back of the counter and said: “Strong or mild!” The old man said he never smoked and the two said in chorus, “We want to get married, sir.” Since the passage of the Pennsylvania marriage law Camden ’Squires are prepared for any surprises in tho matrimonial line, and’Squire Schmidt quickly replied: “Cer tainly.” He said that he knew they were above the required age and supposed they hadn’t eloped, and if they waited for two minutes ho would call in witnesses. FULFILLING AN OLD, OLD PROMISE. ’Squire Schmidt called in Barber Charley Dreher, who keepß a tonsorial palace across the way from the Justice’s office, anil law yer Richard Ridgway, Jr., whose office is near by, was also invited to come over to the ’Squires. They were the witnesses to the tying of the nuptial knot, which was done in ’Squire Schmidt's most solemn and impres sive way. The groom said he was Charles Brooks, the old-time dancing-master, who taught many a Fishtown Ldle more than fifty years ago to dance the “Herring Hornpipe” and the “Kensington Swing” and the “Gunner’s Run Racquet,” dances that were popular in those days. He said he was 80 years old. The bride was Emma Elrich, and she mod estly said that the zephyrs of 08 summers hail fanned her cheeks that no longer blush like the roses. Before the Justice made them man and wife Dancing-master Brooks told a romantic story. He said he was about to fulfill a promise he made over fifty years ago. She whom ho was about to make his wife had won his heart over half a oentury ago. They were lovers then. She was the daugh ter of a well-to-do Jersey farmer, and was one of the prettiest girls in all Burlington county. He first met her at a harvest home near the home of her girlhood. Her sweet face and graceful figure captivated him, anil after a long courtship they made mutual vows of marriage. But the girl’s father opposed their union, and not long afterward they were separated. Bhe was taken to Virginia, and he went West, and so m both were lost to each other. REUNITED AFTER MANY YEARS. Some years later he came back to Phila delphia and married. His wife iliod und he was quietly living a widower’s life, when, after a separation of almost a half century, he discovered that his old love, Mias Elrich, was living in Philadelphia. They soon met. She had been constant always and iiad nover married. They still loved each other, and when she reminded him of the promise of fifty years ago he proposed the trip across the ferry yesterday. WEDDED AND BLESSED BY THE ’SQUIRE. When the old man had finished his story ’Squire Schmidt smiled, and then the knot was tied. When tho good-natured ’Squire had pronounced the last word the old man kissed his bride, and the quaint old lady leaned over and kissed anil hugged the groom. Then ’Squire Schmidt said sol emnly: “Bless you, my children.” The certificate was handed to the old lady, and with hearty farewells the old couple, locked arm in arm, started back for the lorry.

THE MORNING NEWS; TUESDAY. AUGUST 23, 1887. ARLINGTON’S QUEER TOWER. Its Builder Expected to Go to Heaven, but Went to Orange. From the Xew York Evening Bun. In the pretty village of Arlington, Hud son county, N. J., there is a peculiar high tower standing on the highest knoll in that elevated part of the State. The structure is of brick, over VK feet high, and is built in a tubular form. Its breadth nt the base is 1(1 feet, but toward the top tho tower is ta pemi. This odd edifice has been for more than a quarter of a century a mystery to the thousands who have seen it, whether on a near or far view. Residents of the village as well as visitors were equally at loss to di vine the purpose for which it had been erected. It was long held that the queer tower had been the observatory of some ascetic astronomer. Others nlaintaiin and that during the late war it was utilized for the purpose of a beacon light, but that seems uncertain. Until very lately the people liv ing in the village concluded that the tower had been intended for water purposes, but some thought that it was originally a large chimney. Yesterday a reporter made Ills way through broad tracts of woodland and acres of small brushwood from the Passaic river read up the steep declivity and finally set his admiring eyes on the picturesque tower anil its immediate surroundings. At first sight it suggests a resemblance to the numerous round towers found in Ireland, but unlike tho ancient Irish structures, the Arlington tower lucks tbe conical stone roof, and it is constructed of brick Instead of stone. However, the building has iho same loop-holes and high doorway of the Irish towere. The lower half of the tower is obscured by a dense growth of tall ever green trees, but. tho upper portion of tho building can bo oasilv seen many miles away, owing to its altitude. Ascending the huge stone steps which jut out at the base, the visitor enters the tower through the heavy wooden door. Opposite the entrance is the foot of the spiral stairway by which the former habitues of the place reached the top of the tower. The interior has no protection from the stormy weather, and consequently the frail stairway has been rendered very dangerous. With caution a person of light weight can easily ascend to the top. There Is built out from the brick work on the summit a platform resembling a low box, without a roof or other shelter. Looking below him the visitor finds him self amid the remains of a once magnificent estate. Just west of the tower stands the handsome old mansion, now untenanted and desolate; broad grassy swards once trim lawns; pretty - serpentine walks, trimmed with box, and countless tasteful ornamental shrubs and trees, now overgrown and nearly hidden by weeds; numerous broken pieces of statuary, yellow and moss covered, lie sides several driedup fish ponds, where hun dredsof goldfish once disported in the limpid water, and the long neglected hothouses and the capacious barns. And the ruin is to be permitted to grow worse. But the specta tor becomes wearied by the sight of this lamentable decadence, anil ho turns his at tention to a more cheerful prospect. Totho east there stretches out lief ore nim a view unequalled by any in New Jersey. New York city, Hoboken, Jersey City, the im mense Statue of Liberty, even Long Island and the Sound can be seen distinctly. Look ing westward the panorama is just us en trancing, and the view obtained of New ark, with adjacent towns, Belleville, Mont clair, the Oranges, and the beautiful moun tains beyond, leave an impression on the be holder not soon to tie forgotten. Llewellyn Haskell, the founder of the ele gant and incomparable Llewellyn Park at Orange, was the builder of the singular tower, and at one time owned the whole of the extensive estate. An old resident of the locality tells of the time when the build ing of the town was begun. “That was in 1843,” said he, “and I was a young man at that time. W ith every body else I wondered why he was building the tower, and when wee considered Mr. Haskell’s fine taste and his ample means, we inferred that the build ing was for astronomical use. Asa good and shrewd business man Mr. Haskell was much esteemed, but he was odd and fanatical in religion. Usually of a retiring disposition, he became uncommonly communicative after the com pletion of ins tower, and he urged tho peo ple of the place to become immediately ad herents of Miller, whose widely published notions concerning the nearness of the day of judgment influenced such a number of susceptible persons about the year 1845. Haskell was an ardent Millerite, hence his frequent exhortations. He told inquirers that the tower was built to reach heaven, anil that it surmounted every object around. On the day designated for the end of the earth, he ascended with his family to the summit of the structure, anil (hey sut, there, arrayed in immaculate white gar ments, until midnight, ready for tho call. But the day of judgment came not, and the party doscended, taking tho disappointment quite resignedly. Two of Haskell s children died soon after, some people saying that tho deaths were a result of u severe cold caught by tiie children while seated in their flimsy attire on the evening of tho presaged last day. Every evening after the death of her children the disconsolate mother would go to the top of the tower iu order to com mune with the spirits of her dead children. After the ridiculous teachings of Miller bad become obsolete and their influence had been wholly abated, Haskell then became un enthusiast iu Spiritualism anil seance* wore regularly held in tiie old mansion. At Inst he abandoned his home in Arlington and went to Orange. • No tenant could be gotten for the vacant mansion, and the elements have since mode sad havoc of tho entire plaee.” HOW HE MADE A DOLLAR. A Benovolent Gentloman’e Adventure With an Impecunious Friend. Prom the Missouri Republican. A benevolent gentleman, whose office is near the custom house, sat at his desk a few days ago when ho was approached by a man he hail known for several years and who was once a prosperous business man, but who had succumbed to a raging apatite for drink aud was almost a total wreck. “Lemma a dollar?” asked the wreck. “I haven’t a dollar to loan.” “Well, then, lnmme half a dollar.” The benevolent gentleman impulsively drew half a dollar from his pocket and transferred it to the hand of the wreck, who immediately prooeeded to tho nearest saloon and invested it. Presently a gentleman in nn adjoining office called on the benovolent gentleman and found him looking very much dis heartened. He told the story of the recent loon, and added sadly that ne couldn’t un derstand why lie luul IkViIJ so foolish as to give the wreck the means to mid fuel totho fire that was Consuming all his manhood and decency. Ho hxikoil gloomy anil dejected until late in the afternoon, when lie stepped into the ml joining office witli iiis faco wreathed in a smile. "I’ve solved the mystery,” ho said. “What, mystery i” asked his friend. “Why, how I happened to give that fol low a half a dollar. You see when ho asked me for a dollar I knew at once that I’d nov or see it again if I gave it to him; but when be asked me for half a dollar I immediately thought of Franklin’s remark: ’A dollar saved is two dollars earned,’ and, therefore. I’m just a dollar ahead, Ig'causo I saved half a dollar by not loaning him a dollar at fir> SoeT’ • es day the benevolent gentleman on ten _n friend's office with a shade of sad ness mantling his features. “I’ve lost that man’s friendship,” he sold as soon as he had seated himself. “W+iat matif” “Why my friend who borrowed half a dollar from me tho other day. I met him on the street just now and lie refused to speak to me. He has iwen thinking of Franklin’s motto and is mad liecause Inutile a dollar out of Him."

An average piano requires one hundred ami twenty days of labor to complete it—a slow and tiresome process for the work of one man’s hands, but in Germany they are still so made. Although the United States now turns out many thousand pianos a year, fifty-five years ago scarcely fifty wero made, annually. Almost every household now regards a piano as essential to happiness; for we have long since passed the age of simplicity of our forefathers, and the ago of luxury has fairly set in—and we rejoioo that it is so. What a wido Held is open for the manu facturer, and what inducements to carry improvements of the piano to the highest state of j>erfection. The variableness of our climate renders it of the first importance that our pianos should be made in the most thorough and substantial manner, and wo certainly can claim that our American pianos arc the, best in the world.—Musical World. The question of the superiority of Ameri can pianos over those of foreign make is Indisputably settled and needs no discussion, wlule in prices the odds are likewise largely in our favor. For demonstration call and examine the line of American Uprights wo offer at $2lO, ssSfi and SSO. They Cannot be Matched at the Price in this or any other World. L. & B. 8. M. H. IVRIrnKIKQ GOODS.
