Toe ?ame conditions hold good in
' tbe dispos-1 of The Breakers at New
poft. Mrs Vanderbilt, in addition to
? tbi?, receives a bequest of 12 000,000
outright, and a trust fund is estab?
lished which is to net her an annual
income, or I. At her deatn
this fand ia to be divided among tbe
four children Cornelius not being a
bent ti iary.
The first mention in the wil uf any
1 gvy to his son Cornelius is when
he disposes of tbe ? 000,00 trust
fond established by bis father, tbe
late W. H. Vanderbilt. Tais fund
has appreciated ?ome in value, and
, it is estimated to be worth about -?'.,
300,000. Ol thil iota be gives ?
000 outright to Cornelius. Tbe re
maiuder he divides among tbe other
four children equally. Tnen he gives
$1,000,000 outright in trust for tbe
I use of Cornelius daring bis life, and
at hi? d- ath it is to be divided into
as many shares as be has children
and is to be paid over to the respect?
ive beneficiares. Incase there are
; no children tbe principal reverts to
{ the residuary estate. Tbat is the
i only reference made to Cornelius in
I tbe wiil.
As stated ab>ve, Mr. Vanderbilt
: has already set aside $1,250,000 from
lb? trust fund established by the late
W, EL Vanderbilt, for each of bis
other four children. At the death
i f Mrs. Cornelias Vanderbilt they
participate eqaallj in tbe distribution
of the $5,000,UOO trust fned left for
ber.maintenance- This will give each
one an additional amount of 11,250,
: 000. This makes the b< quests so far
?$?2 500,000 each Mr. Tanderbrlt
? next set aside a fund of $20,000.000
, to be dividtd equally among the four
: children, which will give them each
| an additional, $5.000,0<>?>, or make
tbeir entire bequest in tbe aggre
1 gate about $7 500 000 each, excep
Mrs. Htrry Payne Whitney, who
gets a special biquest of $1,000,000
in a cod.el. Alfred, who is tbe resid
uarv legatee, ha? already received
$7,500,000, and it is stimated that
he will reciive about $40 000 000
more, making his entire bequest
about $47 500 000,bat as he agrees to
give his brother Cornelias about
$4i,000.000 to make the latter's hold?
ings equal to that of Reginald and
the two daughters, it is estimated
that be will have about $41,000,000
left, ns told before.

Young Cornelius Vanderbilt met
Grace Wilson at her father's summer
home at Newport. He was attracted
by ber beauty, her vivacious man?
ners, and bet charming conversation
She dressed simply but stylishly,
and in perfect taste. She was slender,
with blue eyes, and auburn bair.
DID TOT KALTER IN LOVE.
From the first Cornelius was an
earnest suitor, never faltering in his
love.
When Grace Wilson went to Europe
in the summer of lb!?."? on Ogden
Goelet's steam yacht, the White
I.\dye, youag Corneliu? Vanderbilt
followed her, and it was bis devoted
attention* to her during the cruise
in the Mediterranean that first at?
tracted tho notice of the friends of the
family. The facts were reported to
tbe elder Cornelius by cable, and be
at once telegraphed back, summoning
the son borne.
LEFT HIS HEART BRHIN'I?.
Cornelius, the younger, dutifully
returned, post baste, but be did not
bring bis heart with him. He left it
id the keeping of Grace Wilson.
When Mibb Wilson returned to
New York the elder Cornelius made
an urgent personal effirt to stop tbe
match, and for two weeks the son did
not go near Grace Wilson. Then one
day vonng Cornelius was seen driving
on F.fth avenue with Miss Wilson.and
the fact was recognised by all that
the romance was to progress to its
termination at the altar.

Easily ?
Are you frequently hoarse?
Do you have that annoying
tickling in your throat? Would
you feel relieved if you could
raise something? Doet your
cough annoy you at night, and
do you raise more mucus in
the morning?
Then you should always keep
on hand a bottle of
Acer's
Cherry
Pectoral
If you have a weal
throat you cannot be too
careful. You cannot begia
treatment too early. Each
cold makes you more liable
to another, and the last
one Is always harder to
cure than the one before it.
