2 A TOUCHING PICTURE OF VANDER BILT. HU Alleged Grief Over Ills Levy on Grant's Effects—A Millionaire on Hard Times. New York Journal. Mr. Vanderbilt was deeply touched by the distress of General Grant. He was unable to attend to business all day long, and sat in his study poring over a well worn map of the Lake Shore Railroad. In that position a Journal reporter found him. The aged philantropist reached for a gilt edged pocket handkerchief when the name of General Grant was mentioned. “It’s the saddest thing that has ever come across my unusually sad experience,” said he, “to think that all them trinkets from the President of Siam, and the horses from Gumarabac, and the sword from the shah of Prussia, all have got to be sold.” “Why do you allow it, Mr. Vanderbilt ?” “My dear boy, this time last year I would not have allowed this sacrifice, but times are not what they used to be. To use a coarse expression, I’m hard up. M illie K. was bad enough, but when Cornell went down on the street that settled their poor old father. And all the time I thought Cornell was at the Youug Men’s Christian Associa tion.” The old gentleman looked around at the bare walls which cost SIOO,OOO to kalsomine and then at the bare pictures and statuary which cost as much more. He tipped gently back in a SIOO,OOO chair and allowed his feelings to have full play in a handkerchief which cost SIOO,OOO a dozen. “It unmans me to think that the savior of our country should be obliged to part with his war relics at a discount. But I need the money. All the servants in the house have struck lor their wages and I had to wash the windows myself this morning. Then the bath tub froze up in that cold snap and I haven't money enough to have it thawed out.” “William!'’ shouted a sharp voice, “go right out and shovel in that coal on the side walk.” “You hear,” said Mr. Vanderbilt faintly. The reporter left the magnificent ruin alone with his sorrow. A MYSTERIOUS CASE. Horrible Eate of a Lady Who Visited the World's Exposition, New Orleans, Jan. 7.—On Monday of last week Mrs. McChesney, aged twenty four years, wife of George McChesney, ol Council Bluffs, lowa, came to this city on a visit to the Exposition with her husband and a large party of friends. Mrs. McChes ney arrived here somewhat ill, but not ill enough to prevent her visiting with her husband the Exposition grounds. While there the party became separated, and Mrs. McChesney was lost sight of. Her husband and friends searched for her in vain and ad vertised for her in vain. The police we e called on, but they could hear nothing ol the missing woman. Last Tuesday Mrs. • McChesney was found in the house of Mrs. Tenine in Carrollton, several miles from the Exposition. She bad been ever since her disappearance unconscious, and unable to give any account of herself. She was brought there, Mrs Tenine declares, by a man un known to her. Mrs. McChesney was at once taken to her husband’s temporary residence, where she died of acute mania or meningi tis. The detectives are at work trying to find out the man who brought the unfor tunate woman to the house where she was found. Some one has declared conceit worse than consumption, and the comparison is a true one. Many are the “conceited” who cry down legitimate remedies, and who delude suffering humanity, whose only salvation Is the immediate use of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. “ROUGH ON COUGHS.” Ask for “Rough on Coughs.” for Coughs Colds, >Sore Throat, Hosreness. Troches 15c. Liquid, 2*o. Men are often heard saying that their aspi rations are high, but every time they cough their noses go towards the earth, with indica tions that they will follow them soon unless they are w-ise enough to take Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup in time. > A Prominent Farmer Writes.
