WILLIAM H. VANDEKBILT.

WILLIAM H. VANBER B tLT.
 William H. Vanderbilt, who was yesterday morning the richest man in this country, and envied by millions, was in the relentless grasp of death before yesterday evening. His many millions could not keep him alive and cannot rescue him from death. And 'tall he can hold in his cold dead hand, is what he has given away.''
 The story Of his career is already we'll known to the American public. Much of his life was spent in comparative obscurity until his father called him to the front to re- tain and increase the wealth of the Wander bilt family. The old commodore judged wisely concerning his ability, as the sequel has shown. He could not have found any body better fitted for the work.
 The record of the dead man as a money getter is perhaps more respectable than that of some of the ''money kings'' of this coun- try. At least no such complaints have been made against him as have been made against Jay Gould and others. Still, he has not won wide reputation for generosity and unselfshness in his dealings with his fel- low men, and there is no indication that he wanted to. He has, however, planned and carried out some great schemes which have been of much benefit to the country.
 The rich man liked one thing almost as well as he did money and that was good horse. He liked to own, drive and be with good horses, and those who know what good horses are have always thought better of him because he had such liking for horses.
 It is interesting to speculate concerning the effect which his death will have on the great fortune which he and his father col lected. If it should be scattered it would be good thing for the country. Another in teresting question is, what effect will his 4saeath have thes stock rnarle.t, and aes- pecially on the stocks with which he-has been indentifed. A great many very anxious investors in these stocks are wishing that they knew what to edo.@---------..--a--4- -z

 Dear Sirs:
 With great pleasure I send you few lines telling you of the wonderful cure your LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE has done for me.

I generally had g. bilious attack about once in two weeks, and now Ihave not had one since | commenced taking your Sanative and that was months ago. I CALL IT THE BEST MEDICINE ON THE CONTINENT, and ought to be good judge by this time. I am now 5S years old, am doing my own work, and feel like new being.
 With best wishes for your suc- cess, for you are doing great work fer suffering humanity,
 | remain your sincere and
 grateful friend,

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The sailing for France yesterday of six un- fortunate children who were bitten by mad dog in Newark the other day was . notable event. They have gone to be treated by M. Pastaur, the celebrated Frenchman who claims to be able to prevent hydrophobia by inoculation with hydrophobic virus. Their experience will be watched with great interest in this and other countries. In recent speech in his cathedral city the Archbishop of Canterbury, alluding to the preposterous notions prevalent among the peasantry in England as to the advantages they are to reap from disestablishment, said: s:There is parish where there is devoted clergyman, whose family are constant in their attention to the sick and sorrowing. One of them discovered that many of the cottsgers she visited were in favor of disestablish- ment She asked several 'WhyY but could get no answer. At length a man said, Well, mum, I know it's a pity, but it would be very convenient to have 8 COW. We do want COW, mum.
