RECONCILIATION
IS EFFECTED.
From Intimate friends of the family It
■was learned that a complete reconcilia
tion between the patient and his wife
took place Wednesday, as soon as it was
realized that the end was near.
While apparently on the best of
terms, those on the ‘‘inner circle” had
known for a long time that the couple
lived more or less apart except at pub
lic functions and family reunions.
Mr. Vanderbilt visited America last
fall after remaining in his Paris home
throughout the war.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Vander
bilt.
Estimates placed the value of the es
tate : eft by TV. K. Vanderbilt at between
*50.000,000 and 5100.000.000.
Mr. Vanderbilt was for many years
prominent in railroad and financial cir
cles In the United States, but recently
had passed much of his time abroad.
The duke of Marlborough married his
only daughter. Consnelo. in 1595.
Mr. Vanderbilt was twice married, first
to Miss Alva Smith of Mobile, Ala. (now
Mre. O. H. P. Belmont), in 1874, and
then to Mrs. A. H. Rutherford In Lon
don. England. April 25, 1903.
Besides the daughter, Consuelo, there
were two sons by the first marriage,
William K., Jr., and Harold Vanderbilt.
Mr. Vanderbilt was born on Staten
Island December 12. 1849, the son of
William H. and Maria Louise (Klssam)
V anderbllt.
Attending a New Tork academy, he
completed his studies in Geneva, Switzer
land, where he passed several years.
DIRECTOR OF
MAXT ROADS.
From 1877 to ISS3 he was second vice
president of the New Tork Central &
Hudson River railroad.
He was also chairman of the board of
directors of the Lake Shore A Michigan
Southern Railway for many years, as
well as a director of the New York Cen
tral, Michigan Central, Lake Erie A
Western and Chicago & Northwestern,
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; Chicago.
Cleveland. Cincinnati & St. Louis; New
york & Harlem, Pittsburg &. Lake Erie
and West Shore railroads.
He was also a director of the Metro
politan Opera Company and was united
with his brothers, Cornelius, George and
Frederick, in establishing the Vanderbilt
Clinic in New York at a cost of more
than 5500.000.
His sons. William K.. Jr., and Harold
Vanderbilt, are directors in more than
150 railroads and other corporations.
When Commodore Vanderbilt died he
left a fortune of $100,000,000.
This vast estate descended to his son,
William H. Vanderbilt, and thence to the
two grandsons, and Wil
liam K.
After the death of Cornelius, William
K. became head of the family and pro
tector of the fortune.
William K. Vanderbilt was noted for
his establishment of the Vanderbilts on
the top rung of the social ladder.
He was also noted as a sportsman.
His first plunge into the four hundred
was on his return from Europe In 1873,
when an elaborate reception was given
with many titled foreigners as guests.
The Astors, who controlled the "four
Yundred,” did not recognize the Vander
bilts, however, until 1879. when the "Van
derbilt ball,” recognized as the most im
portant social event in New York society,
was given.

ARE WOMEN NATURALLY DESPONDENT?
A prominent writer so claims.
Women are constituted with a deli
cate organism and in nine cases out
of ten mental depression may be at
tributed to an abnormal condition of
the system, -which expresses itself in
nervousness, sleeplessness, back
aches, causing constant misery and
as a result despondency. Lydia E.
Ptnkham’s Vegetable Compound, a
simple remedy made from roots and
herbs, is the one great remedy for
this condition. It goes to the root of
the trouble and overcomes despond
ency.—Advertisement.
