the fortune of the student, George Van
derpilt, and he, OF late, has been one OF
the frequent visitors, as he has been
drawing on his fortune to build his lux
urious place in the mountains of North
Carolina. About once in go often the
Vanderbilt boys, averaging six times
year, visit the vaults to deposit new
bonds and stocks, representing aces
sions to their wealth.
In this corner alone there is property
representing not far from $500, 0O0,O 900.
1t was in this golden cell that William
Fl. Vanderbilt wrote his famous check
for $4,000, O00-the largest individual
check ever given up to that time. After
he had written it he said to a financler
who was with him, representing the
original West Shore interests. 81 could
duplicate that check at this moment, if
necessary" showing that at that time he
had 81, 900, coo at least in cold cash.

Of small boxes rented to individuals, who
alone hold the keys, as well as some
larger boxes The large box in the lower
right hand corner is always hired by
Adelina Patti when she is in this coun-
try. She usually stays at neighboring
hotel, and the first thing she does after
the vexations of the custom house are
ended is to take her jewels to this vault.
AS her last visit here she brought jewels
valued at 100000, and these were de-
posted in this box, which is made of
chilled STEEL within twelve hours after
her arrival.
When she was to appear in opera or in
concert she sent her trusted servant, &C
companied by policeman, to the vault.
and he selected the jewels which she de-
sired to wear on that evening. After

posted in the safe of the hotel over night,

Der of bright and vivacious woman
writers, and among the brightest and
best is the lady who is socially known to
New York as Mrs Burton Harrison, but
signs her name Constance Cary Har
rison. 1t must be said in the beginning
that fortune did much for the fair au
thoress by giving her a singularly varied
and curious experience; but she has
used her materials with the ready adap-
tation of true genius.
She was but girl at the family man
sion in Fairfax county, Va, when the
civil war began, and the ladies hastily
abandoned the place after burying the
family silver in the cellar. Vancluse, as
the place was called, was soon ruin,
the house was destroyed, and on the site
was one of the forts in the defenses Of
Washington. Nevertheless they found
their precious things after the war
closed, and were not entirely ruined in
fortune The ladies were at the station
in the rear of the Confederate army dur
ing the battle of Manassas or Bull Run,
and became painfully familiar with war
and destruction elsewhere-all furnish
ing scenes and incidents for her subse-
quent work
When the war closed Miss Cary went
| abroad with her mother, witnessed the
closing scenes Of Louis Napoleon's reign,
and then returned to New York to be mar
ried. On both sides the lady is descend
ed from the oldest leading families in
! Virginia. Her father, Archibald Cary
was kinsman of Thomas jefferson, and
descendant of the first president of Will
| lam and Mary college, and her mother,
Monimia Fairfax, inherited intellect and
taste from a good line. Her earlier
stories plainly show that her first i'm
pressions of life were gained while the
influence of family" was still great in
| Virginia and caste was fact.
Mrs. Harrison's first contribution to
the magazines was "A Little Centennial
Lady" in 1875. Among her best known
productions are My Lord Fairfax, of
Greenway Court, in Virginia. The
Home and Hsunts of Washington. ="

WHERE THE VANDERBILT TREASURE ISs
ury department and how much by the
banks, and they have discovered that be-
tween the actual amount coined or IN
existence and that which can be ac-
counted for there is a discrepancy Of
some fifty or sixty millions Of dollars.
The secretary Of the treasury, Mr.. Win
dom, Jay Gould, Russell Sage and the
president Of the New York clearing
house all assert that it will be useless to
try to hunt for this missing amount of
gold, because it is all hidden away by
tinlid men who put their faith in gold
alone. and who want it where they can
get it, and by misers throughout the
country who are boarding itin stockings
or old trunks.
The greatest amount of gold, proba-
bly,, is boarded right in New York city,
and in places where burglars can neither
break through and steal, nor moth and
rust corrupt. Nothing short OF an earth
quake or the conquest of New York by
a foreign power could get this gold from
the place where it is securely hidden. 1t
is slowed away in the mysterious vaults
of various safe deposit companies, and
no one excepting he who has put it in Its
| hiding place knows where it is or how to
get at it.
Gold is carried into the vaults secretly,
| but within the past six months a vast
amount of silver bars has been lodged
| in one of the safe deposit vaults, and put
there openly in the view of thousands
who pass up and down Broadway. 1t is
| taken On trucks, like q load Of pig iron,
and is handled as carelessly, for its weight
would make it impossible for anythief to
carry away bar without detection.
Besides these hoardings, these vaults
contain the accumulated wealth OF a per
sonal nature of all the nlillionaires OF
New York city. They no longer leave
their stocks and bonds in their o ce or
house safes, but take them to the vaults.
In many Of the vaults are kept the
family jewels and the expensive plate of
gold and silver-this last being taken to
the homes whenever an entertainment
is to be given, and returned at once to
its place Of safety in the vaults. Hun
dreds of millions Of dollars are kept In
these places of security, and some most
interesting tales might be told of the
customs of men of wealth in visiting the
vaults and counting their wealth. Prob
ably the most interesting place is the
vaults Of the deposit company which
contain the enormous wealth of the
Vanderbilts, in stocks and bonds, and
much of that of Jay Gould, Russell
Sage the Astors, ex-Mayor Grace and
many other men known as New York's
millionaires. These vaults are opposite
