The young Vanderbilt —I mean

eft liends of the laniily, h ve “gone j I

fortunes their f iber left them right

It would increase a gKKi deal |
faster than at the inter* , which he
is to-day receiving on his stocks and |
bonds, but there will come paid ,
reverses, cataclysms, perhaps, and
he eiauioi safely count on making
more than $460,000,000 in thirty-six
years.
These young men are exceptional
characters. They .tinted in Tie path
of life under the iron rod of their J
remarkable grandfather, the u d j
Cummodore. He didn’t believe in j
iinyl.ody notch; and whe. Cornelius j
end Willis m K. got out of short J I
clothes he suit! to their father: I
“Look a lu re, Billy.' ovs are no |

some tiring and make’em work like j
tiie devil all the while. Now, stick
these boys in somewhere, and m’,.. |
’em come dovoi to it. Don’t lot up !

William H. was not half as hard
and exflexil !e as his fa (her, but he
was accustomed to mind that gentle¬
man—as obediert when he was
forty i s when he was fourto.di- an ■
he knew perfectly w?i! ..,i it
was better to kick a boy out of doors
than to pet him and give him mon¬
ey; so he told the boys, as his father
had told him, that they “must sup¬
port themselves.”
Cornelius got a little clerkship in
the 0ho6 and Leather Bunk when
lie was 16, and for four years he got
there as early as any clerk, and
worked as late and as hard. Heal-
) ed himself no extra holidays,
ml licither his father
nar bis grandfather did
nything to make his life t a- ler.
During these years his uncle Tor¬
rance, going to Europe for the Com¬
modore, iuyjted “the youngster” to
go with him, and the grandfather
relented and consented. The boy
delighted at the chance, , but .
was
the question of salary was involved
He presented the matter to the
President. “Dm can go, said that
amiable functionary; “hut of course
you will lose your salary $D)0
That settled it. Cornelius turned
his hack on the temptation and de¬
dined to go. made
When lip was twenty he was
a clerk “at the bottom of the ladder”
in the Hudson River railroad office,
and his youngest brother, William
i 5 -) was put at work (here the
i ear. For more than eighteen
now they have “bowed down to it”
in that great concern, and they are
far better trained than their father
ever was in ail the details of the
business.
They are no fast men. own :
no yacht. They care nothing
clubs. They are content, wife up apiece.; to the j
present time, with one
They love their children, and each
fctmily, filing into church,
looks like a pair of gently-sloping
stairs. They Eliey care care little little for lor fast last
horses. They do not swear. One
of them is superintendent of a Sun-
day scoool, and both are deeply in-
volved in the various charities of i
the city.
ornelms is first vice-pre-(dent
and head of finance. William 1\.,
is second vice-president and master
of transportation. Each knows lii g
business thoroughly. The
striking thing about either of them
is that they work as hard as ii" .hey

Value of Advertising.
Newspaper advertisments are
read while the advertisers sleep,
The nian who advertises in dull
times will never feel dull times,
Advertising is the philosopher’s
stone that turns mans’ wares into
gold.
A few gallons of printer’s ink
spread over a newspaper will equal
the services of an army of drum¬
mers.
Printer’s ink has made more for¬
tunes than have ever been made on
all the stock exchanges and in all
gold mines in the world.
A good name is Lett r than great
riches, so said Solomon—hut Un¬
man who advertises liberally arid
gets both the name
and great riches.

Twelve millions of insurance;
Five thousand members; Eight
years’ experience; Guaranteed and
incontestable policies; Cash assets
and indemnity reserve of $250,000;
Expenses limited by contract,; Mor¬
tality fluids handled exclusively by
Trust Co.; Four fixed payments a
year—one for expenses and three for
mortality; The lowest death rate of
any Life Company in America;
Cash surrender values or policies
rendered self-sustaining at end of
life expectation; Saving of 50 per
cent in cost of insurance and abso¬
lute security, are points to which
we call special attention.
The business of the Fidelty is twice
as much as it was in 1884, and the
death rate is not any larger now, in
proportion to the amount at risk,than
it was five years ago. Ex-Governor
