PRIVATE DETECTIVES.
How the Nanderbilts, Astors, and Jay
Gould are Protected Against Cranks.

How the Nanderbilts, Astors, and Jay
Gould are Protected Against Cranks.
The arrest OF a japanese youngman
who imagined that the daughter OF
the late William H. Vanderbilt was
his sweetheart, and wildly sought her
throughout his clearinghouse, leads
to the discovery, writes a New York
correspondent OF The Indianapolis
Journal, that the residences OF the
Vanderbilts, the Astors, and Jay
Gould are constantly guarded against
cranks by private detectives.
Theprivate service EFFORT protection
OF the Nanderbilts, Astors and Gould
vas organized three years ago, and is
ostensibly separate from each family,
though the men who defend the Van
derbilts and Astors are provided by
the same establishment, and prac-
tically work together. Regular patrol
duty is done, night and day, and
twenty detectives are exclusively en-
ployed for the purpose. There are
four Astor residences and five belong
ing to the Vanderbilts, all in or close
TO Fifth Avenue, between Thirty-third
and Fifty-second streets. The spies
are on watch eight hours each perday,
and the beats are So arranged that
the nine houses cannot be~approached
unseen by one or more OF the guards
men. William III. Vanderbilt was the
originator OF this system, and he was
melted to it by the large number o.
cranky letters which he received. He
protested to have no fear of rational
evil-doers, but was apprehensive that
maniacs might attack him or some
member Of his family. Since his death
the mails have been laden with all
sorts ofappeals, demands, and threats
directed to his sons.
Jay Gould's self-protection is more
secret and characteristic. He does
not intrust it to a detective agency,
but hires his own bodyguard. For
years he has always been accompanied
by q stalwart young fellow. But that
is u safeguard against Wall street
enemies. Cranks who might cut up
capers in or around his home are UNI
der the view OF spies whose quarters
are in a room OF the Windsor hotel
across the way. That is additional
to patrol duty done by a separate set
OF men. These employees of the
millionaire families, whose name are
poor peoples synonyms for wealth,
are kept informed as to every new dem
onstration by q crank, and they
are alert to descry and drive off the
~monomaniacs who attempt any X.
pioits. During the western strikes Jay
Gould has made the trips between his
home and Office in a cab, instead o.
elevated car, as formerly, and it is OBJ
served that q ring at his bell brings a
sauntering Waterman to the foot o.
the steps about as quickly as it does
the servant to the top. One of the de,
lenses in Gould's case is against those
who would write antagonistic senti
ments with chalk on his sidewalk anc
steps. Men and boys are frequently
caught att and compelled to desist.

How Long Does The Honeymoon
Last?


DR. Talmage continued his course
OF sermons on 1.-The Marriage Ring"
and kindred topics, speaking OF the
cares and responsibilities of the wife,
He took his text from the story of
Martha and Mary, Luke, MO: "Lord,
dost thou not al that my sister
hath left me to serve alone; bid her,
therefore, that she help me-" In his
sermon DR.. Talmage said:
When the husband returns home
from the shop, factory, or stock ex-
change, he calls all the household wor.
rice nonsense. Oh, my man, let me
tell you your wife is a woman who
has to conduct at the same time a

a restaurant, a laundry, a library;
has to be health officer, police officer,
and president Of the whole realm.

ed forschool. Perhaps theirgarments
need mending or a hat or a sash is
lost, but still they must be ready.
Then she has the diet to prepare for
the day or perhaps for several days.
The spring has come and there must
