In all probability no woman in New York h is been si constantly bt fore the eyes of the public during the last two years as Mrs. Cornelius Vaiulerliilt, Jr. Event after event occurred which con cerned her and those near her, events which were of great Interest to all who have known of the Vanderbilt af fairs. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., was born Grace Wilson, one of the three daughters of Klchard T. Wilson of New York. Hrr mother has been called the Napoleon of matchmakers by those who are envious of her suc cess; It is doubtful if four children of one family have ever married more brilliantly than her children. Hefore Mrs. Vanderbilt was married she re ceived more than her shate of the at tentions of prominent men. Col. John Jacob Astor was one of the first to admire her at her debut, and at one time rumor, which Is so precipitate I to Jump at conclusions, reported that I they would become engaged. This 'rumor reolv.d Its quietus when her engagement, was announced to the Hon. Cecil liarinu of the famous family I of l-.ondnn brnhers. This was looked j upon as a brilliant :n:.tch, and groat j surprise was felt when the engage ' uirtit w;;s broken off.

Accord ingly, he made an application, whieh was refused on the ground that he was already in receipt of a sufficient pen felon. The old man went straight to Iord Kimborloy and csked If that was fair. On being assured that It was, he at once offered to resign his pension and go inte the workhouse, "Kor," he declared, ' I won't see your lordship clone over this."

"What Is the political nentiment around here?" asked Cushman. "I dunno." said the woman; "I don't go to political meltings. They say there Is congressman at large, and I think the safest thing for n:e to do is to stay at home."

"Indinas make good witnesses and they stick closer to facts than white people." This statement was made the other evening by Judge O. P. Sid ras of the I'nlted States district court of northern Iowa. Speaking of his In teresting experience in coming In con tact with the Indians In court he says the red man or woman Is generally ac curate. He says: "'Ask a whito man If he was drunk on a certain occasion and he will try to wiggle out of It, but the Indian will come out with a 'Yes' If he was. On one occasion a lawyer asked a squaw If she understood, the nature of her obligation In giving tes timony. She answered that she had taken a 'strong word' to tell the truth and she would do so.

" Judge Shlra8 says the Indian makes a good Juror, In which capacity he may sit after relinquishing tribal rela tions and complying with government severalty laws.

Numerous aecloenis occur anniialiy In the use of gas for lisMing, cooking or heating, through either carelessness or Ignorance, says CrshIt'b Magazine. The largest number of accidents, prob ably, occur from ignorant persons eith er blowing out the gs or turning It oft, and subsequently turning the cock on sufficiently for the gns to escape un noticed. Many other accidents are the result of the bad practice of turning down a gas flame, particularly In a bedroom. This Is always lll-advlsed, for such a turned-down flame may be either blown out by a draft of air from an open window, or else it may be ex tinguished by a sudden variation or reduction In the pressure. When this happens In a small bedroom without ventllntlon there Is great danger of asphyxiation, particularly so If water gas Is used. Much can be done to avert this danger by a proper arrangement of the gas piping In hoiiHes. Another dangerous custom Is to shut off the gas at the main swvire or at the gas meter during the night, and numerous accidents, some of them fatal, have re sulted from It. It Is almost equally : bad to turn off the gas at the meter ; during the day. Notwithstanding the ' universal IntrodiuJJon of gas lighting, j there are still many persons who would be benefited by receiving plain Instruc tions on the use of gas In the house hold. Gas companies" would benefit themselves and tile public by paying more attention to this matter. Among available statistics may be found nu merous incidents of death or accidents due to faulty management of gas. Among the morceniote causes the writer finds the fallowing mentioned: In one of two adjoining rooms, sup plied with gas from one so-called pre payment gas meter, a man retired for the night when the gas supply from the meter was exhausted, but forgot to close his gas burner. The occupant of the adjoining room came home late at night, dropped a coin In the slot of the gas meter and gut a fresh supply of gas, which meanwhile also escaped In the adjoining room, killing the occu pant. Escape of gas and explosions have also happened in the use of gas cooking Btoves, where boiling water, running over the vessel, extinguished the flame. It h;is already been men tioned that the o-called Independent gas connections with two keys may lead to accidents by the wrong one be ing turned by mistake. Where the gas . In the cellar freezes in winter time It Is dangerous to attempt to thaw out the gas meter or setvice with a flame. A gas meter should never be examined j with a burning light, nor should any tools be used ne.'jr a gas meter known to be leaky, on lecount of the danger 1 of flying sparks." TOOK HIS BREATH AWAY. of Dufferin, British ambassador to France, became very devoted, and her friends expected a betrothal. About this time Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., began to assume prominence in the college world. An upper class man at Yaf, prominent socially, unpreten tious with ail the great wealth to which ho was to be the heir, he was one of the most popular young men in New York. He became attentive to Miss Wilson, and when he was grad uated he announced to his father that he intended to marry. The late Cor nelius was opposed to the match and ordered his heir presumptive to forget the girl of his choice. Obediently, young Cornelius went to Paris. After six months the Wilson family also went to Paris in the course of their yearly visit to the continent. I'pon hearing the news Mr. Vanderbilt, Sr., sent for his son, asking him to return. His request was not complied with for some time, and when ho finally came to New York he told hU father that the idea of being disinherited could not keep him from the woman he loved. Without his parent's consent he was married to Mlr-s Wilson. Not one of the Vanderbilt family was present at the corean. ny. The solicitations of his brother and listers in his behalf were unavailing; bis father would not yield. When a little child was born to them It was thought that his tiny hands and bright little face would soften the grandfather's bent, but he, too, was powerless. Several times It was said that Cor nelius Vanderbilt had forgiven his son for his love inariiage, but when the will of the manager of the Vanderbilt Interests was probated it was found young Cornelius had been left but one one-hundredth part of the vast estate. There U considerable, difference be tween one and sixty million dollars, hut Alfred, his brother, came forward generously and gave him enough to equal the shaie of the other children. Mrs. Cornelius, Jr., h id remained neu tral thioimhuut the whole affair; un willing to give up the mm she loved and yet r:ot wUhlr.g to do anything pre.ludici 'l t his interests.

It Is astonishing to see the meth ods adopted by an intelligent red man to get away with his money. Among other things he has a weakness for a certain kind of amusement known as the 'Merry Go Round.' Recently one of these concerns got permission to set up one of their machines on a reserva tion within my circuit. The bucks would gather about the contrivance and to the time of a steam-tuned or gan would ride the whole blessed day. They spent all tho money they had and pawned different articles to get more for the same amusement. During the last few years the women took a great craze for wearing these blue bathing suits trimmed in white braid. The traders are said to have disposed of a large quantity of this toggery."

"You know you plant roses In tho sunshine," he said, "and heliotrope and geraniums, but If you want your fuchsias to grow they must be kept in shady nook." After the sermon, which the clergyman hoped would be a comforting one, a woman came up to him, her face shining with pleasure that was evidently deep and true. "0, Dr. , I am so grateful for that sermon," she said, clasping the clergyman's hand and shaking it warmly. His heart was stirred for a moment, while he' wondered what ten der place In her heart and life he had touched. Only for a moment, though.

KecolirltT In the Order of lujurie. A queer fact, well known by medi cal men connected with hospitals, L, thai the doctors can tell with almost absolute certainty which classes of fa talities and accidents fit In with given days and even hours. One of tho doc tors connected with a leading hospital in the center of the city said: "We will begin with Monday. That day fur nishes by far the highest proportion of mishaps to work, people, but I must say that this proportion Is rapidly di minishing. Nearly all the attempted suicides come in during the very early part of the day, nnd the first accident batches early In the day have a large number of men who work on scaffolds among them. Hardly a morning goes by without a scaffold casualty case. Af ter 11 o'clock In the morning most of the cases arise from street accidents, and when evening comes cases arising from drunken rows and deliberate as saults begin to come in. Nearly all the 'domestic' cases where wives have been assaulted ftnA bo on are late night and Saturday ones. It would take me a long time to group the regu lar order of accidents as they come la day after day." Philadelphia Record. MAN, A V OMAN, CHILD. A Foft rummer wind whispered through the leaves of two sister ma- ! pies thai stood in tho lawn at the end ' of a lane bordered by rows of stateiy locust trees. The white blossoms hiins heavy over all the trees and the fragrant perfume fell like inccise, sweetening all the air. With every ripple of breeze the blos soms fell like snowflakea through the deep purple shadows in the arcade through which the lane ran. Hack from the maples a white (arm house stood, and all about lay the hush of amldmorn In the time when spring la turning Into summer. Suspended between the murmuring maples a hammock swayed softly ana In the hammock a young man and a child lay sleeping. The arms of the child were clasped around the neck ot the young man and his wet cheek pressed the cheek of the older sleeper. Straying locks of his curly brown hair fell damply across his chubby (ace. Below the hammock a tousled dog lay flattened against the ground, sleeping, too, after the morning romp. The child was "Bobs," who had been christened Marshall Edward Alloway, the son and heir of John Alloway, whose broad acres reached down to the big road where the lane and "Bob's" world ended. His slumber mate was "Bobs' Man," more properly Henry Avers Lylo, junior partner of the tlrm of Harvey, Lnndoss & Lyle, attorneys and counselors at law, who was spend ing his vacation on tho Alloway farm. Stray blots of sunlight liltered through the leaves and danced upon the green lawn as the breeze hnayed the branches of the maples.

Smaun and patina, two tiny East In dians, are tho sensation of the hour in one of the leading muslo halls of Ber lin. They nre undoubtedly the small est married couple in tho wot Id. Smaun is the taller of the two, standing al most 20 inches In bis sandlcd feet. Fat ma, his better half. Is shorter by about an Inch and a half. They were born of peasant parents In a village of Cen tral India, and were brought to Ger many by a theatrical manager, who has been traveling lu the Orient In search of novelties for the vaudeville stage. Smaun has developed under the guidance of his manager, Into a gym nast of no ordinary caliber, and Is par ticularly clever In performances on the trapeze and with the so-called Roman rings. Fatma Is very light upon hef, feet, and has mado a hit In native In dian dances. What a diminutive couple they aro Is well shown by comparing their height with that of a champagne bottle of the quart size. When the latter la placed upright by tho side of Smaun the top of the cork Is on a level with the middle of his cheek bone, while at the same time It Is almost even with the crown of Fatma's head. Both dwarfs were born In 1S79, and In neighboring villages. At birth Smaun weighed about twenty-throe ounces, Fatma was barely seven Inches In height when born, Smaun probably an inch or so taller.

Presently a snatch of song, brokenly accompanied by the clatter oí tin, came from the house. A flash ot light (rom bright buckets brightened the hall ana a tall girl came out on the porch. As she beheld the sleeping pair the notes ot the song dropped and she came rapidly (orward across the grass, bumming still the' air of thé hymn, and, bending over the hammock, print ed a kiss upon the child's (orehead. Then she de(tly rigged a handkerchiei to protect the (aces o( the sleepers (rom the sunlight, and, smiling, stepped soitly to the tune she was humming and went down tho slope to the whitewashed springhouse by the great sycamore tree. As the summer aged "Bobs" and his "Man" grew closer. At times they slept entwined In each other's arms on the shady side ot a hay cock or on the great mound of fragrant hay In the mow, where the pigeons cooed them to sleep. At night when Bobs had said his "Now I lay me down to sleep," the man and the girl sometimes aat to gether on the porch. Sometimes they talked in low tones, while tho breezes sang lullabys in the maples and the stars hung like golden russet apples In the blue-black summer sky. Sometimes they sat silent as the fireflies danced In curtains of soft light over the clover and the chirr of tho cricket and the song of the frog came up to them. During those evenings they came to know each other closer, and she tola him of her life, how, while she was away at college, her sister, the mother cf "Bobs," had died and she had given over all her hopes and ambitions to come home to care (or John Alloway'a motherless child. One night us they sat silent there came a patter ot bare (eet upon the oilcloth in the hall, and "Bobs," array ed In innocence and red flannel, burst out upon them.

When the woman tucked him In his couch she kissed tho tpot where "Man's" lips had touched, but she came no more to the porch where "Man" smoked restlessly and waited as he watched tho mists riso over the valley as the moon came up. After many days, when the grass had burned brown all along tho big road and the cattle panted knee deep l:i the branch, there came one morning, an unusual stir in the farmhouse.

Americans cling to old customs near ly as much as do foreigners. Prob ably nothing Is more useless than the buttons op the back of a man's coat nnd yet they have come down through many years and no coat is considered complete without them. In the old days, when every gentleman wore a eword, nothing detracted more from his dignity than to have the sword belt sag down in the back. The but tons were placed on the coat so that the belt might rest on them and be even all around. Later, when swords were discarded and In the revolution ary days, the gentlemen wore coats with flowing skirts. The skirts were considered highly ornamental when the vearer was standing still, but when he went for his walk the flapping of the skirts caused him to present an ap pearance more ridiculous than digni fied, so the skirts were made with a small buttonhole in the corner and our forefathers buttoned the skirts on the back of the coat when they sallied forth with their canes and snuff boxes. The buttons are all that remain to us of the costumes of those days. The buttons on the sleeves come from the same times. The gentlemen wore neith er mittens nor gloves, but instead he had the sleeves of his coat made long, so that he could draw them over his hands, even to the tips of his fingers. It added more to the dignity of the gentleman's appearance to go forth with his hands clasped In front of him and his eleeves meeting so as to cov er them than it would have done to wear large and clumsy mittens. On warm days the gentleman did not de sire to have his hands covered, so the sleeves were made with a slit back to the wrists and the gentleman turn ed back the sleeves and buttoned them so that they made a cuff. Hence, the buttons on the sleeves and the slit In the sleeve frequently made and care fully sewed up on the coats of the pres ent day. Indianapolis Press. Mi.nlln' I in ture.
