MUSIC
"Taanhaeuser" at the Metropolitan
Opera House.
THE OPERA VICISSITUDES.
After three performances Mr. Hammer
stein announced that he had put his French
production of "Tannh&user" on the shelf,
being convinced that the opera was too
German in spirit to prove acceptable in
French. It was a manly confession, for.
with all its shortcomings, the productions
.at the Manhattan Opera House were in
dicative of a sincere effort to achieve artis
tic good. It would be interesting to inquire
Into the question to what extent the use of
French words militated against the success
of the opera. Xo doubt many more of Mr.
Kammerstcln's patrons understand German
than understand French; no doubt, also,
that those who understand German would
prefer to hear operas which are German in
subject and spirit sung in the German lan
guage; but It is much to be feared that the
majority of opcragoers In New York ar»
f - blithely Indifferent to the language used
by the stage people as were the English
people of Afldison's day (when ojxra was
half English and half Italian), or the Ham
burg public of Handel's early period, when
German alternated with Italian In the
same scene. Our population is composed ot
many elements, and the enjoyment of
each element is unquestionably greater at
a performance given in the language na
tive to it than in any other tongue. But
on the whole it has been made plain a
thousand times that the general attitude
is one of indifference to anything except
th« personality of the people on the stage.
the singing, the acting and the pictures.
In fact. It is not unlike that of Boileau
when he went to the Academic in Paris
to hear "Atys" and requested the box
keeper to put him in a place where he
could hear Lully's music, which he loved,
but .not Quinault's words, which he de- t
Fplsed. Mme. de Stael condemned the
German composers of her day because
they followed the sense of the text too
closely, whereas the Italians made the
melody *nd the words conform to each
other only in a. general way. x Long
after Mme. de Stael a writer who was
English and author of a charming and in
structive book on the history of the opera,
George Hogarth, put it down as his con
viction that the words of un operatic air
were of email importance to the compre
hension of the "business of a piece. They
merely express, he said, a sentiment, a
reflection, a feeling. It is quite enough if
their general Import is known, and this
may most frequently be gathered from
the situation, aided by the character and
expression of the music.
However. Mr. Hogarth -wrote before
Wagner had accomplished his reform, and
before Bucb things as a people's char
acteristic Ideals and a people's char
acteristic manner of expression had , re
ceived wide recognition. The French were
the first people to develop a style of oper
atic music based upon the genius of tin
language, though two of the composers who
took part in the development were foreign
ersLully. an Italian, and Gluck. a Gor
man. But the French have been quite as
careless about preserving the spirit of
foreign works in the translations which they
have, made for their own delectation as any
other people. In this respect, indeed, all
the nation* meet on common ground. A
case in point comes to mind.
The lovers of Wagner's dramas are not
likely soon to forget what Jean de Reszke
did to restore them in their native tongue
to the repertory of the Metropolitan Opera
"House. While the public was crowding the
house to enjoy his impersonation of Tris
tan. a - friend remarked to him that he
would pay a handsome sum for the privi
lege of witnessing the behavior of an im
pressionable Paris audience at a perform
ance at the Grand Opera with the admired
arttet in the principal role. "I have al
ready been incited by tins director to Bins
it.** said M. de R*szk<-, in reply, "and have
raid that I would provided a new transla
tion' were made under my own supervision.**
"But did not Catulle Mendes make- a
translation? Surely he knew both French
and German thoroughly."
"lit- did, but"'— to his va'.et— "bring me
•Tristan and Isolde' from the piano." Then
turning to his friend lie sang the phrase
•Tristan's Ehre. hoehste Treu'." and added,
"What do you think of "La gloire de Tris
tan: 1 for 'Tristans Ehre'? No, I can't sing
each stuff."
In this instance both body and spirit were
outraged in the translation. There was
nothing quite so flagrant in the French ver-
Fion used at the Manhattan Opera House,
but Mr. Hammerstein was right when he
missed the Teutonism in the performances
and recognized how essential it is to the
words, the action and the music of the splen
did tragedy. Wagner conceived his hero as
a German '•from top to toe," and every
other character in it is just as Teutonic
as the minstrel knight himself. New
Yorkers have had occasion to learn that.
Between the opening of the Metropolitan
Opera House, In ISS3, and the end of the
season 1896-*97 there were forty-five sub
scription performances of "Tannhauser."
and of these two were in Italian and thre*
In French. Interesting features marked
tbeee performances. Thus, at the first Ital
ian representation, on January 29, 1894.
Mbhl Melba sang the music of Elisabeth
delightfully, and Plancon was more than
usually unctuous and pontifical as the Land
grave. The music of the Bacchanale was
used, but the choreographic representation
was simply ludicrous. The flrst French
performance (Mr. Hammerstein was in
error In proclaiming his the first, as were
also the newspaper reviewers, including
him of The Tribune) was graced by the
participation of Emma Eames, M. Plancon
and M, Lassalle, and took place on No
vember 30. 1396. The chorus acclaimed the
Landgrave of Thuringia in '"soft bastard
Latin," but Plancon replied in French, as
at a later day he did in what passed for
German. But in all these performances
the listeners felt that the opera had been
phlebotomized, and it did not take on a.
native hue and resolution till It came back
with the German forces, first under Walter
Dsmrosch and then in the single consul
chip of Gran.
TL* performance of the opera at the Met
ropolitan last night was the second of the
present season. The chief interest of the
evening lay in the first appearance in New
York of a new Elisabeth in the person of
Miss Jan» Osborn-Hannah. a young Ameri
can singer who has recently been appear->
ins in Europe. Miss Osborn-Hannah proved
to be a young woman of prepossessing per
sonality, and the possessor of a fresh, clear
voice. Her tlnsrinc was unfortunately
marred by a marked vibrato, hut this was
due. no doubt, largely to nervousness. Carl
Jons sang Tannhauser effectively and Clar
ence Whltehill made of Wolfram a striking
figure, besides singing the music well.
Mme. Olive Fremstad was. as always,
superb In the role of Venus. The Land
grave was Allen Hinckley. Mr. Hertz con
ducted with authority and understandi/ig.
But, alas! better things "might have br»ri
made of tho Bacchanal? in the first act.
There wa* in it little of poetry or Illusion.
The audience was of good size. The cast
of last night's performance was as follows:

HAMMERSTEIN TO GO ON.
Full of Fight and Never Took Stock in
Negotiations, He Says.
Oscar Hammerstein said last night that
he intended to continue giving opera at- the
Manhattan Opera House as he had done in
the past. He said he had lost little more
financially than he did last year, and that
February would see revivals of "Salome,"
"Pelleas et Mellsande" and "Louise" and
the first American performance of "Zaia."
"I never took any stock in negotiations
with the Metropolitan," said the impres
ario, "and J told my son so. When Mr.
Shubert comes to me with a direct propo
sition from the Metropolitan directors I
may consider it, hut not before I have
abundant means, and I think you will find
me giving opera for the next fifteen years.
I am as full of fight as ever."

MARK TWAIN LEAVES HOME.
Returns to Bermuda, Where 111 Health
Troubles Him Least.
Samuel 1,. Clemens, the author, sailed
for Bermuda yesterday on the steamship
Bermudian. He returned ,to this city
shortly before Christmas to spend the
holidays with his daughter Miss Jeanne
Clemens, who died suddenly at the
Clf-mens home in Redding a few days
after her father came from the islands.
Before sailing yesterday Mr. Clemens said
he had planned to po to Bermuda with his
daughter in April, but that her death had
forestalled him.
"I still have that pain in my lert
breast." he said yesterday, "and I am
poing back to Bermuda to see if I cannot
get rid of It. I am not troubled with the
pain when on the island, but as soon as I
return to this city it attacks me again.
I Mas rot as 111 as the reporters perhaps
imapined when I came back to New York
a few weeks ago."
Mr. Clemens said he would remain In
Bermuda for the. winter. Only a valet ac
companied him.
ASSISTANT FOR BISHOP GREER.
Bishop Mann, of North Dakota, Coming
to New York.
The Right Rev. Cameron Mann, bishop
of North Dakota, will soon remove to this
city, where he will become assistant to
Bishop David H. Greer, in the diocese of
New York.
Bishop Greer suggested to the Episcopal
diocesan convention last Novemtxr that his
duties were too numerous to permit of
proper supervision of Urn large diocese, and
he then submitted three plans for improve
ment. One was to petition the general
convention, next year, for a suffragan
bishop, and an assistant until the suffragan
could be obtained. This suggestion was
unanimously adopted, after the suggestion
of a bishop's coadjutor was discussed and
rejected on Urn ground that the largest
diocese in the country offered serious ob
stacles to a successful coadjutorship.
Bishop Mann was born in New York City
in ISSI. Hf was graduated from Hobart
College in 187n, £md later from the General
Theological Seminary. From 1882 to 1901 he
was- rector of Grac-e Church, at Kansas
City, and was consecrated bishop of North
Dakota on December 4, 1301.

WIFE MURSIJNG COOK
Relative Says Explorer )VM
Soon Defend Himself.
Mrs. Josephine Dudley, of Xo. 340 East
18th street, sleter of the -wife of Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook, the discredited explorer, ad
mitted yesterday that she knew Cook's
whereabouts and said that he had been ill
mentally and physically*' Other members
of the family said that the newspapers
had been kept from him and that he did
not know the UniveiFity of OopenhaKen
hud thrown out his claims to the discovery
of the North Pole. It was stated that he
was in complete ignorance of the shift of
public opinion against him.
Mrs. Dudley refused to say whether Dr.
Cook was in America or Europe, but she
loi^ the impression that he was still in
America. She said she was in charge of
the two Cook girls and had placed them
In the Hamilton Institute for Girls, at No.
45 West 81st street.
"Mrs. Cook Is with her husband," she
said, referring to a report of trouble be
tween the Cooks. "She is nursing him
night and day. It isn't likely Tf she is
doing that for htm that she intends to start
an action for divorce, is it? His condition
is mending, and we expect he -will be able
to come from where he Is staying in a few
days and face his accusers. I do not know
the form of his ailment, but I do know
that he was very 111. We thought at first
that he might not survive. He could not
concentrate his mind or talk for even a
few minutes on any subject. It seems like
a complete nervous collapse, and his con
stitution -was not strong enough to with
stand it.
"I am communicating with my sister
every day. She still loves her 'husband, and
her faith in his statement that he Is the
discoverer of the po!e is as strong as
ever."
Referring to loans said to have been made
to Dr. Cook by his wife, Mrs. Dudley said:
"She hw»t him money to pay his immedi
ate expenses, and never thought of getting
it back. She would be benefited with Dr.
Cook If his claims were established. It
was a family matter, anyway. I am sure I
would give anything I have to my husband
and not expect to have It returned."
ANOTHER BLOW TO DR. COOK.
Man Who "Mixed It" with the Bear
Calls Rescue "Fake."
Seattle, Jan. 5. — A. D. Burton, an
Alaskan prospector who has arrived from
the north, declared to-day that the story
told by Frederick A. Cook about rescuing
Burton from a bear was untrue.
"The year of Dr. Cook's last trip to
Alaska I saw Edward Baxrill, an old
friend, at Seward," said Burton. "Later I
had an experience with a boar that eaioe.
near ending my life and I was chewed up
pretty severely. I was greatly surprised,
when the Cook magazine article was pub
lished after he returned to this country, to
see In it my picture and the story of my
experience with the bear. Cook told how
his party had rescued me from the jaws
of death. As a matter of fact. Cook was
not within one hundred and fifty miles of
me at the time the bear and I mixed. In
the magaxine also was a picture of my
struggle with the bear, which, of course f
was a fake."
AMBASSADOR WILSON HERE.
Henry Lane Wilson, recently appointed
Ambassador to Mexico, arrived here yester
day from Antwerp on the steamship
Kroonland. Mr. Wilson, who was Ameri
can Minister to Belgium,, has had some
diplomatic experience in the Latin Ameri
can countries, and was formerly Minister
to Chili.
ROYAL MARRIAGE ALL RIGHT.
Brussels, Jan. s.— Minister of State Beer
naert. in an Interview to-day, stated that
while the failure of the late King Leopold
to Issue a royal decree sanctioning the
marriage of Prince. Albert and Princess
Elizabeth, now the King and Queen of
Belgium, might have been a theoretical vio
lation of the constitution, the marriage was
long ago accepted by the country and
was now incontestable on constitutional
ground*.

HONOR MR. MILLS
Press of San Francisco a Unit
in Its Eulogy.
rrtv Telegraph to Thf Tribune.]
San Francisco, Jan. 5. — The press of
San Francisco devotes much space to the
cieath of D. O. Mills, every newspaper
printing many tributes to his loyalty and
Integrity from his old associates in pio
neer days. "The Chronicle" says in the
course of a long editorial:
Mr Mills way honored by those who
knew him best, and trusted even by those
who knew him least. The cornerstone of
his nature was inU'srrity In tils home,
buaim M office and in public he was the
same honest, wise, just and sagacious
man and counsellor — the best type his
class presented. It will be remembered
that in getting riches he never wronged
his fellow man. and no one points a scorn
ful finger at hfs ways of accumulation.
The practical nature of the man showed in
his philanthropy. He believed in helping
those who could help theniselvc-B.
Mr. Mills was a man of whom we shall
not often see the like. He set a fine ex
ample in business and society and in his
work for others.
"The Evening Bulletin" heads its edi
torial: "D. O. Mills, a man of millions and
morals, passes from life." H continues:
With the death of D. O. Mills, a notable
and honored figure paasfefl from the n>ld
of finance. The Mills fortune, unlike that
of many ff the millionaires of to-day, was
not the fruit of law breaking or restric
tive combination. The same master hand
built railroads and operated mines. Bet
ter than that, it aided in the spread of
knowledge, for it was D. O. Mills who
provided the funds that gave to the world
the Mergenthaler typesetting machine, an
invention that revolutionized the printing
business.
Besides being a great financier and
builder. D. O. Mills was a great philan
thropist. His philanthropy took a prac
tical turn and created such thing? an the
Mills hotels for worklngmen in New York.
Pure milk was one of his hobbies, and for
months after the fire and earthquake his
Millbrae dairy served free milk to poor
families in San Francisco. He had always
a care for the needs of the suffering, and
many a community has profited by his
benefactions, a wonderful man was D. O.
Mills. Tf all captains of industry were
like him the nation would not be inflicted
with the curse of "special interests."
A SSOCIA TES TA LX.
Senators Speak in High Praise
of Mr. Mills's Career.
Washington, Jan. s.— "The Post" prints
this morning several tributes to D. O. Mills.
"General regret for his death," says "The
Post." "waa expressed on every hand in
Washington. Associates in various under
takings of a financial, social and philan
thropic nature, including a score or more
of Senators and other prominent men of
"Washington, spoke In the highest terms of
the great work performed by the financier.
"Senator Stephen B. Blklns, of West Vir
ginia, who aided Mr. Mills in various vent
ures, asserted that a more energetic,
straightforward and honest man than was
Mr. Mills does not live.
" 'Known in the United States, as well as
abroad.' Senator Elkins said, 'the work of
Mr. Mills will be felt for years to come.
" 'Outside of his business sagacity, the
work he has done in the interest of the
poorer classes, especially in New York, has
been of the greatest benefit to all classes.
Conceiving the idea that great good can be
done the poorer classes by furnishing large
hotels, at which clean beds and wholesome
food can be obtained at nominal prices, Mr.
Mills invested thousands of dollars in three
such institutions. Barely 2 per cent was
realized on the investment, from a financial
point of view, yet the financier, I believe,
obtained more satisfaction and pleasure
from the knowledge that he had assisted
the needy than from any material profit."
"Senator Francis G. Newlands, of Ne
vada, one of Mr. Mills's associates, had
this to say about him:
"Mr. Mills was one of the argonauts of
California, reaching there during the perioa
of the gold excitement. He established
himself at Sacramento in business, and
soon became a leading banker there. Later
he became the president of the Bank of
California, at San Francisco, which was
organized by W. C. Ralston, and which
during his administration became the lead
ing bank of the Pacific Coast. He was its
president, though living in the East, at the
time of its failure, a colossal catastrophe
which seemed likely to paralyze the enter
prises of the entire coast: but the reorgani
zation brilliantly accomplished by William
Sharon put the bank upon its feet, and it
is now the largest bank on the Pacific
Coast.
"Mr. Mills became early interested with
Ralston and Sharon in the Comstock
mines, and there realized the bulk of his
fortune wuh which he afterward com
menced his operations In tlie East. He was
a man of remarkable business judgment,
and was able instinctively to select the hest
out of a number of enterprises presented to
him. No man In the country had a higher
reputation, either in California or in the
East, for integrity in all his actions. He
had little to do with modern methods in
making large fortunes, and yet his Invest
ments were in almost every form of interest
that attached to civilization, and were scat
tered all over the country and the world.
"He moved very quietly and unobtrusively
and relied absolutely upon himself, rarely
upon the co-operation of others. The pre
vailing characteristics of Mr. Mills were
the excellence of bis judgment and his
sense of fairness and justice. He had quite
a phiianthiopic side, was much Interested
in the construction of hotels adapted to the
requirements of people of very restricted
means and other forms of investment
which really substituted help that could be
aocerted with self-respect in the place of
charity.
"Senator Nixon, of Nevada, associated
with Mr. Mills in later life, spoke feeling
ly of their relations, both social and finan
cial. Mr. Mills, he r.aid, was not of a
speculative nature, but possessed the keen
est business foresight. He gave as an In
stance the fact that, while he»hesitated In
taking an active part in the transconti
nental railroad then under construction,
backed by Huntington and other magnates,
he lent to these financiers large sump of
money with which the work was completed.
" Mr. Millss work of making the barren
West the richest section of the country
nvver enn te definitely gauged,' Mr. Nixon
said. 'He was one of the pioneers, and he
gave the best of his younger years to the
making of the West. In return, of course,
he received fabulous wealth, but the amass
ing of a big fortune was not his sole ob
ject. The use of the money gathered to be
t'.sed in the aid -e-f others less fortunate
than he was his sole aim in life.
" 'He made for himself a name never to
be forgotten, even by thousands who never
were permitted to see him. In the West,
as well as the East, he has erected monu
ments, not for self-glorification, which will
BMtri the needy for years to come.'
" In California, whip!* Mr. Mills made his
fortune, and where the scene of his early
endeavors was laid, the name of Mills is
synonymous with honesty.' Is the, tribute
I'ui-J by Senator Perkins, of California.
'Mr. Mills repeatedly said that he could
die satisfied when the end eventually would
come, having the knowledge that he had
tried to live for others and to make others
lumpy.' Senator Perkins continued.
" He was one of the multi-millionaires of
the (-'untry who did not incur the enmity
of the other classes with which he dealt.
Following the army of fortune Hunters to
the California gold fields In the days of
'49. he cast his lot with the rest o£ them.
Shrewd business insight and a prophetic
speculative nature, rather than luck, caused
him to win out.
" 'Mr. Mills was a practical philanthropist
He did a noble work in California, and
thirty years ago he shifted the greater part
of his work to the East and to N.-w York
where his philanthropic work waa con
tinued <«n a larger scale.
' 'Mr. Mills made frlend.s i n the West who
always will rtmnbw him. When General
Grant made his trip around the world he
was entertaine.l „„ his arrival in Callfor
nia by Mr. Mills." "»
A TRIBUTE TO D. O. MILLS.
Th* following resolution on the death of
Darius Ogilcn Mills was adopted at a meet
ing of the trustees of the California So-
Bitty of New York, held yesterday after
noon:
Assembled in special meeting for this
purpose convened, we, the board of trus
tees of the California Society of New
York wish to record our sincere and heart
felt sorrow and regret on the occasion of
the death of our fellow member. Darius
Ogden Mills, than whom in life no more
beautiful example of the kindly spirit and
generous heart was with u».
He it therefore I— olTX. That the secre
tary of the California Society of Sew
York, by our order, forward a copy or" tbla
communication to the bereaved family of
the deceased, and that the resolution !■*»
further spread upon the minutes of the
society.
TO BRING BODY HERE.

Darius O. Mills, who died suddenly at hi^
winter home at Millbrae Mon.Uy nltrht,

TRIBUTES TO MR. MILLS.
Press Comments on His Great Work for
His Fellow Men.
"AS FINE A TYPE AS EVER LIVED."
From The Springfield Republican.
His l.l^a was to help men needing help, in
a manner never to injure thfir seit-respect,
and so he put these model hotels of ttietr
kind on a self-supporting basis. He waa a
man of the strictest Integrity and demo
cratic in his manners— as fine a type as
ever lived of the business man.
IMPROVED THE I>OT OF THE NEEDY.
From The Buffalo Commercial.
One of the great financiers of New York
died last night. Darius O. Mills had done a
great amount of good with his money, and
the city owes much to him for works o£
charity and the improvement of the lot of
the needy and the "submerged tenth."
A FRIEND OF HUMANITY.
From The Troy Press.
Darius O. Mills had a good heart, as well
as a great fortune, and his practical phi
lanthropies bfaMd myriads. His cheap
hotels in New York have provided decent
food and lodging for thousands and thou
sands who would have suffered otherwise
for the want of either. Multimillionaires of
the Mills type are friends or" humanity. un<l
the world is richer rather than poorer on
account of their accumulations.
ONE CLAIM TO DISTINCTION.
From The New York Globe.
His best claim to I'ame and distinction Is
that he was among the first to perceive
and to recognize in this or any other coun
try that the philanthropic impulse, as to
many ameliorative agencies, should be
guided and directed by business principles.
He laid hold of the tiasic klea that excel
lent things could be made to pay their o*n
way— that a 4 per cent return on capital
was compatible with doing a vast amount
of good. He was a supporter in act of the
thesis that it is better, as to many things.
to enable purchase at a reswonable price
than to give and thus to pauperize and to
weaken.
"PRE-EMINENT."
From The Washington Post.
The life of this pioneer and prime factor
in the development of the Pacific Coast
offers a field of study every young man
should avail himself of. For vigor and
stunliness. those rugged virtues that cle«ve
the wav to achievement, the dead financier
and philanthropist— may he rest well amons
the master minds in Sleepy Hollow Ceme
tery!—stands pre-eminent. In public estima
tion, among the nation builders of his time.
PRACTICAL CHARITY.
From The Philadelphia Press.
The late D. O. Mills was known and re
spected In California as financier, j§a nlc er
and public spirlte;! citizen many years be
fore he won a like reputation In New York
City. His greatest and permanent fame
will rest, doubtless, on his unique and en
lightened charity in establishing in New
York City three large hotels where re
spectable men of limited means can obtain
decent meals and lodging at very moderate
prices. These hotels have proved self-sus
taining. Economy of administration and
the elimination of the need of profit for
distribution enable these hotels to give a
good service at a very low price. The Idea
Is one that will bear still further develop
ment, but it is a contribution to sociologi
cal science and Dract'cal charity most cred
itable to the head and heirt of the multi
millionaire who conceived it.
"AN EXEMPLARY CITIZEN."
From The Boston Journal.
In Darius Ogden Mills, dead in California
at the ripe old age of eighty-four, . the
United States had an exemplary citizen and
benefactor. By nature adventurous and
chivalrous, he fairly bounded to success
once he was thrown upon his own re
sources. Inheriting a good character and a
good constitution, he started out at the age
of sixteen, and before he was twice that,
age had made himself rich and respected.
Ijater on he turned his wealth and en
thusiasm to the fields of art. science and
philanthropy, taking an active interest In
projects dedicated to the improvement and
advancement of his fellow men. Thrice
successful and praiseworthy ts the self
made multimillionaire who devotes the
most influential years of his life to the ser
vice of humanity. Men like Darius Oeden
Mills richly deserve a place In our hall of
fame.
"LASTING BENEFITS."
From The Troy Times.
Darius Ogden Mills, whose death Is re
ported from California, was a typical Amer
ican in ••the best sense. A veritable arero
naut and an original "Forty-niner," he went
to the Pacific Coast at the beginning of the
pold excitement. But he took with him
qualities already developed in a worthy
career in the East, where his industry and
talents had won him recognition. He be
came, a merchant and later a banker .'n
California, and gained great wealth through
honorable business method?. T;< = was i
life of spotless integrity, and through all
his great business activity there ran the
spirit «♦< devotion to the best Interest* of
his fellow men. His services to philan
thropy, art, education and other hi«rh
causes we/re many and conspicuous. His
influence was wholesome, and his work
such as to leave lasting benefits. Mr. Mills
was a man of culture and refinement, and
his family life was ideal.
WELL, DIRECTED BENEFACTIONS.
From The New York Times.
Like John S. Kennedy and Charles Stew
art smith. D. O. Mills belonged to the
older generation of men of large affairs
and great fortunes in this city. For it was
with this city, even more than with San
Francisco, that during the last third of his
life the name and the activities of Mr
Mills were associated. Mr. Mills's activities
in New York took many forms. His bene
factions were numerous and well directed.
The Mills hotels, which furnish food and
lodging at little more than tenement house
cost, yet in conditions of cleanliness and
comfort that make them acceptable homes,
have been a conspicuous example of the
wise use the banker made of his fortune.
His active Interest In the Zoological Oar
den, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and
the American Museum of Natural History
testified -to his desire to aid in building up
Institutions worthy of the great city" and
Its civilization. Mr. \fills was a successful
man of the old-fashioned type. By old
fashioned methods, and by his career, his
qualities, his benefactions and his high
character, he won and preserved the re
spect, the esteem and the cratltudo of the
communities in which his life was spent.
ALFRED G. VANDERBILT SAILS.
