NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Naturaliv all
this hubDub aboGt anarchists and their
threats to force capitalists to diSgorse
hOarded millions has disturbed the
money kings of New YORK lust little.
The condition Of the MASSES is discussed
Oftener in the milliuuaireS' clubs anu
the situation reviewed and the social
problem solved from the standpoint nf
the man of millions. But while the
mOneyed men of New York will tell
you that they have not the slightest
fear OF danger To person or property
from the alleged great army of hungry
men in the slumS of New York, they
will admit that they have taken pre-
cautions. One of the first discoveries

Cornelius Vanderbilt had been notified
recently by an alleged anarchist that
their new palaces on Fifth avenue would
shortly be blown Skyward by that pet
of the anarchist, the dynamite hOmO.
1t WAS learned from one of the young
gentlemen employed in a confidential
capacity at the Grand Central depot
that Cornelius Vanderbilt received an
anonymous ie!trr to the effect that his
new honse at Fifth avenue and Fifty
eighth street was i'm danger.
A CARD ON THE ENTRANCE.
zone of the workmen at the yet un-
finished residence also discovered a
card tackled upon the covered entrance
to the building. This card was covered
with a SrrawI which declared that the
time had come for the rich man tn suffer
for the SO-called wrohgS of the pour.

Mr.. Vanderbilt believed it was the Work
of some crank who became agitated
over tile recent newsDaper discussion
about anarchists and threats.
"HOwever. another card was tackled
upon the boXed-uD fence of Z. z. Hunt
ingt0iI's mansion. across Fifth avenue
from Mr.. Vandrrbilt'S residence. Botn
cards were undoubtedly of the same
origin, and if he were really an anar-
chist he was one Of the most pronounced

Anything aDpertaining to the de-

Vanderbilt is not at all worried by
threats against his property. for he is

at least 500 new watchmen have secured

| their recent noisy meetings on the East

| was asked if he believed the anarchists
would dare to molest Fifth avenue plop-
erty owners.

| The frowsy-headed fraternity who

word in reference tO the cabIegram

sat reading newspaper inside the
tightly closed door nf his saloon when a
reporter called. He refused TO open

"This is the Sabbath; you cannet
come in"
but don't want any beer; 1 just
want to speak to you," replied the re-
