1lR. TINDERBILTS WILL.

MIR. Napderbilt's will will attract Widespread
interest as the most important in a financial
sense ever offered for probate. lt is drawn
with the most painstaking care and contains
indisuutable evidence Of the tcStator dellD-
crate purpose of providing cquitably for all ms
heirs and avoiding grounds fur dissatisfaction
and LITIGATION. Each of the eight children has
beoucst of $4,000, COOS, 0GO,OO0 out
hight and the remainder held III trust by the
four sons The Oldest son has an additional
benuest of ~, 600. 900 and his oldest son one
Of 81 900 600. The widow has an annuity OF
&2OO,O 900 in addition to the residence where
the millionaire died, and all the paintings
statuary and works OF art The remainder OF
the estate, after $lO00,000 has been reserved
for public and charitable objects ana large
number of minor requests have been made, Is
divided equally between the two oldest sons,
Cornelius and William X. Vanderbilt. Inc
practical management OF this vast estate Is mus
left in the hands of the two heirs conspicuous
for executive ability, conservative instincts
and stability of character. Mr.. Dcpew, VINO Is
one of the two administrators, has stated that
the chief heirs have agreed to keep the railroad
securities together under the management OF
the two oldest sons. This will impart unity to
the control aud direction of this immense
property, and the irreproachablc reputation
which each of them bears is guarantee that
this trust will be executed in accordance with
sound business principles.
Among the general requests are generous
gifts to Vanderbilt University, the Mctropol-
itan Museum, the Young Mems Christian
Association, the Domestic and Foreign
Missionary Societies of the Protestant
Epscopal Church. 81. Lukcs Hospital ana
many other institutions and societies. The be-
quests under this head aggregate Tlooo,ooo.
The great bulk of the fortune, however,
remains for the use of Mr.. Nandcrbilts children
and grandchildren. There will be some
regret felt by die public that the superb col
lection of art treasures has been retained
exclusively Tor the enjoyment OF the family.
The paintings and sculpture are bcgucalhcd
TO the widow and upon her death are to revert
to the youngest son. Mir. \anirrhIi ;
purpose as the will explicitly declares, WAS
that his magnificent residence and art
treasures should be retained and maintained
forever by a descendant bearing the family
name.

AEM-LnEh,N GREIT ELEE.

On Wednesday OF ihis week lifiy years will
have passed since the great fire which left most
of the business quarter OF the New-lork Of
1885 in ruins. The flames made pretty clean
sweep in the district bounded by Wall, South
and Broad sts. All the largest shipping and
importing houses were destroyed. 1t was an
intensely cold night, and though the volunteer
iremen of that time did all they could the
water was frozen i'll the hose and only few
feeble streams could be raised. 1t was ncccs-
sary to blow up number of buildings with
powder brought from the Navy Yard in Brook
lyn in order to check the contlagrdtion by
dcpriving it of material to feed upon. The
loss amounted to about $20,0OOOOO, n
frghtful blow to the Ncw-lork of fifty years

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.


TIE Ta1rUSE lately took occasion to call at
tcntion to the nOm-enlOrccmcnt OF the Com
pusorv Education Act. The fact that IN many
places throughout the State the law Is prac-
ticaly dead letter appears in the statistics OF
school attendance. Yet it is generally admitted
that the measure Is Il wise one 1t grew OFT of
a clearly asccrtaincd public sentiment. 1t was
designed to prevent any portion of our popula-
ton from growing mp in ignorance.
Thrattcntion of the Legislature will be called
TO the matter this wintcr-it may well he that
the law could be improved. 1t is interesting to
note however, that Rochester does not purpose
to wait for the Legislature. Her board of cdu-
c,tion at its last meeting took steps to secure
the immediate enforcement Of the law as 1t Is
The Superintendent of Schools was instructed
to prepare the necessary blanks for distribution
i'm the manufactures. shops and stores IN which
children are e4nploycd with a view to finding
ont whether BOYS and girls between the ages OF
EIGHT and fourteen wears VINO are at work ever
attend school at all. Why do net ether boards
Of education institute similar sensible in
miry rs a rule. the youngsters VINO never
enter a school-hou~c are the very ones most IN
need of schooling. Tin" surroundings OF some
children are such that necessarily they puck up
q GOOD many rudimcnts Of education at home.
But the children for whose benefit the TOM
pul,oly Education Act WIS framed for the most
part are not thus developed at home. With
them It is either school or nothing.
Rochester has set a good example.

Nobody appears to have been defeated in the
recent elections in England. Mr. Gladstone
saw, that the results are a substantial victory
for the Liberals. The Tory speakers are
equally juIiant over what they tenn heir sue
cess. This is all amusing enough. But while
botn great parties are splitting hairs, and
claiming to have snatchcd victory from the
laws of defeat, we notice that Mr. Parnell does
no, have to argue with himself to find out
where he stands. With his So votes in hand he
is the master OF both Liberals ana Tories.
There is no doubt about that.
