A Woman's PEN Picture OF the Wcalthies
of American Millionnires.

A Woman's PEN Picture OF the Wcalthiest
of American MllionAircs.
Here is woman's idea OF Mr. Cornelius
Vanderbilt: 'sHe is" she declared to q
New York reporter, ''by far the bestlook-
ing and best-dressed Of our uilhonaireS
This young man Ia decidedly attractive TO
the eye. He is Of excellent height and
figure, and his clothes, while never foppish,
are immaculate, and exhibit plainly the
work OF as good tailor as can be found in
New York. At the theater Mr.. Vanderbilt
is invariably in perfect evening dress, and
the effect OF cleanness that he always pro-
duces Is truly noticeable. / don't suppose
there is better grcomed man in the city,
bis firm, solid chin and mouth always have
the newly shaved look of gentleman of
leisure, his tiny whiskers just in frout of
his ears are trimmed with exquisite exact
ness, his linen is like snow, and his patent
leather shoes look as though they had never
been worn before. Mr. Vanderbilt has the
face of a thoroughly trustworthy and
shrewd man of business. The forehead is
broad and smooth, the eyes kindle with
pronounced intelligence Of expression. The
mouth Is set with the gentle strength OF a
man accustomed to rule and 10 succeed
He inherits all that shrewd and courageous
brightness Of visage that you can find in
portrait Of the old Commodore. never see
Cornelius Vanderbilt but what appreciate
his capacity for being very rich. II docs
not beWilder him or dazzle him. Any man
with his personal appearance must per-
force be at least sensible and decent. have
seen such faces in serious and industrious
lawyers and ministers. Inever
saw man with such q face who was not to
a great degree successful in worldly way.
Serious, courtly, weli-dressed, clean and
solidly handsome, this is Cornelius Wander
bilt, still young, but with well grown FAM
lily and millions of dollars"

MAIL CONTRACT CASES.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Assistant At
torney General Tyner sitting with Second
Assistant bPostmaster General Whitfield
and Law Clerk Haynes, Of the postofice
department, today began a hearing in the
mail contract cases of w. II. Smith, c. w.
Underwood, J. r. Rigg and L. W. Chap
pell, Of Windsor, Mo. The respondents
are successful bidders for about $50 mail
route contracts, the execution of which
on the part of the department was recently
suspended by Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General Whitfield upon what he re-
garded as evidences of irregularities in
the execution Of contracts and the accom-
pany indemnity bonds on the part Of re-
spondents. A large number of the con-
tracts and bonds were not signed either
by actual principles or their securities, but
by one of the parties in interest signing
for all. The respondents, through their
counsel, admitted that many of the con-
tracts were not signed. bylthem in their. own
proper persons, but in all cases were sign
ed by persons holding proper powers OF
attorney to sign in their stead. They
formerly notified the department that they
fully justified. and accepted every COZ
tract signed by persons other than them
selves as their own. They stood ready and
willing to cure every defect In the execu-
ton of the contracts and bonds which
might be required by the department. and
themselves as anxious TO pro-
coed at once to perform the required
service. They represented chat the delega-
ton of the act of signing the instruments
was made necessary by the stress for time
and the fact that the parties in interest
were then in different parts of the coun
try. They expressed perfect willingness
to execute new contracts and new bonds in
any required amount, and stoutly main
tanned their perfect innocence of any at
tempt at wrong. The case was continued
until tomorrow.
Colonel w w Dudley and Zeverly and
Finley of Washington, and Judge w. S.
5hirk, of Sedalia, appeared as counsel for
.he contractors.

MILLER's OPINION.
Full Text Of the Decision Regarding Okla.
homa National Banks.

WASHINGTON, May 22-The following is
the text Of the opinion of the attorney
general in regard to authorizing and
establishing national banks in Oklahoma
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
WASHINGTON, D. c., May %, 1883.
To the Secretary of the Treasury:
SIR:-Your communication of April 4,
1889, asks an opinion as to whether nation
al banks may be lawfully authorized and
established in the region of country recent
ly acquired and thrown open to settlement
and commonly known as Oklahoma. 1t is
provided by section SAG, revised statutes,
as follows: Every director of a national
banking association must, during his
whole term of service, be citizen of the
United States and at least three fourths of
the directors must have resided in the
state, territory or district in which
the association is located for
at least one year Immediately
preceding their election and must be resi-
dents therein during their continuance in
office This provision of the law is under
stood to be in force still. 1t would seem
this requirement of one years residence in
the state, territory or district.in which a
national banking association is located to
at least three-fourthS of the directors pre-
sents a barrier to the organization OF any
such institution in Oklahoma for quite a
year 10 come, dS IL may Dc aSSuuleu lHtlt
no person elected director of any such
institution to be located in Oklahoma
would possess sooner the qualifications as
a resident.
The legislation authorizing national
banking associations to be established in
territory has in view, / think, territory
regularly organized with government and
a system of laws for thesprotection of per-
sons and property and not territory
like Oklahoma without any government
at all and destitute of laws for regulation
of civil relations of its people, a territory
without rules of property and without
even customs to take the place of legisla
ton IL was not to q territory in the con-
dition of Oklahoma that congress could
have referred in section 5197, revised stat
utes, which declares that any association
may charge on loans or discounts made or
on notes. bills of exchange or other evil
dence OF debt, interest at the rate allowed
by laws Of the territory where the bank is
located and no more, except, etc, etc. Nor
could congress have had such territory
in contemplation when it directed in
section 5226, revised statutes,
that on the failure of ma
tional banking association to redeem
its circulating notes they should be pro-
tested by a notary public" and vet have
omitted to provide the territory with such
an officer for that purpose.
1t is not necessary to look further into
legislation on this subject to establish the
that there is no authority to
make the dangerous experiment of locat-
ing national banking association in
destitute of the laws and sane
tious that are essential to the safety of a
bank. Very respectfully yours,
w. H H. MILLER,
Attorney General.

4 SSory of Edwin Booth THAT Is Good
Enough to De True.
Once during the days Of his early strug-
giles, says the Baltimore American, Booth
was "barn-storming" down in Virginia ct a
place called Lees Landing. The improvised
theater was tobacco warehouse, and it was
crowded byth planters from miles around.
Booth and ISIS companions had arranged to
take the weekly steamer expected TO call
late ct night, and between tho acts were
busy packing up. The play was The Mer-
chant of Venice and they were just going
On for the trial scene when they heard a
whistle and the manager came rusning in
to say the,steamer had arrived and would
