man still talks of his adventure with
Vanderbilt.
Many incidents such as the above
are related of George Vanderbilt
PHYSICAL weakness in his earlier youth
made him a recluse to certain extent
and a student. Latterly he has been
a reader of many books and scholar
from choice.
So it comes that he is but little
known in society or in the business
life of New York city, where he was
born and where he has lived for thirty
five years.
He has but little in common with his
brothers save that he is good bust
ness man, although he is not called
upon to prove it. The Vanderbilt rail-
road system is SO perfectly organized
that there is little need for the Van
derbilts themselves to take any part in
its active management, although Cor
nelius as the head of the family does
do SO. The other Vanderbilt boys go
in for society with all that the term
implies, and George remains the schol-
ar of the family, and seems willing to
remain so.
Some of Georges friends, and he has
very warm ones who are men of some
mark rather than mere sparks of fash
ion, regret that there is any possibility
of the young man becoming Benedict.
Since the death of his father and since
his brothers have set up, SO to speak,
in fine establishments of their own,
George Vanderbilt has been the right
arm of his mother, who has never fully
recovered from the shock of her hus-
bands sudden and somewhat tragic
death George has remained with her
in the stately mansion on Fifth avenue
opposite to st. Patrick's cathedral.
Above all his other possessions
George Vanderbilt prizes his country
seat near Asheyille in North Carolina.
It is fact that may not be again
said that all the Vanderbilts have
faculty OF, making their investments
self-supporting, and although George
Vanderbilt has never seemed to care
much about the family millions, his
ventures even in the purchase of old
books and violins have been such as
might be made profitable. But in no
investment made by him has more

George Vanderbilt is one of natures
queer freaks. He is the least known
of any of the enormously wealthy men
of New York. He must be worth at
least $50, 0o0. 900, but he might walk
the length of the entire city without
being recognized by half dozen per-
sons. He has never been prominent in
any public movement He has never
attended public function where
crowds of people congregate, and
when he goes to the theater or to the
opera he hides himself in the rear of
box.
But he is a most interesting man,
nevertheless. Just now he is at Bar
Harbor, where he has beautiful coun.

ly he happened on one that seemed to
hold his attention as the others had
not. He examined its dull looking
binding, and, for that matter, the
whole volume with the air of con-
noisseur and finally beckoned to the
salesman and inquired the price of the
book The salesman consulted the
catalogue and gave the information.
"A little steep for you" he volun-
teered, again looking at the would-be
purchasers plain attire.

customer, with rather a queer smile.

laugh. Must take me for new

"You had better look at that card,

may be found in the following:

the owners to discontinue further
ginning until further notice under
penalty of having their gins burned.
Que of the notices further stated that
if the merchants press the farmers,
for not marketing their crop, they
will be waited on by the regulators.
The movement is the same as in Mis-
sippi. 1t has been decided to force
up the price of cotton by allowing
none of it to be ginned or shipped
until it reaches 10 cents a pound. It

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

MISS PoLLARD's STORY.
Her Long Silence is at Last Broken
and Her Wrongs Recounted.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 49,
Repeated efforts by the brightest
newspaper men of this city have fail.
ed to elicit word from Madeline
Valeria Pollard concerning her rela-
ton with Congressman Breckenridge,
of Kentucky, but today the correspon-
dent of the st. Louis Post-Dispatch
and New York World induced heT to
break the long silence. Her story is
graphic and explicit and is over her
own signature. She commences by
saying that she has been silent under
the advice of counsel, but the necessity
for silence is now removed. In her
exordium she says:
a feel an irresistible impulse to tell
the story of my life; the amount of the
atmosphere of falsehood and decep-
ton in which l have been forced to
live for nine years by my infatuated
devotion for Col. Breckenridge, kept
alive until few months ago by his
own devotion to and his consideration
of me. For him alone and to shield
him from his guilty relation with me
have l ever resorted to falsehood and
deception.
"With this man alone have | been
guilty of single impure thought or
act. The miserable reward of my in
fidelity is a sermon in itself, to show
how low the highest devotion the hui
man soul is capable of falling,
She then tells of her life in Frank
fort, Ky, from childhood on, of her
early engagement to James G, Rhodes
and of her education under his care.
1t was at the home of the widow
Of Governor Blackburn that Mr..
Breckinridge first made public recog-
milton of her as his future wife. From
that time on she says she had given
up her whole life to him. The state
ment concludes as follows:
81 always sat in the gallery to hear
his speeches on the floor and signed
to him if his voice was too weak or if
attention waned. He never made a
speech that there was not message
direct to me in it, and though 1t be-
longed in the speech and may have
been very prosaic, it meant much to
me and him.
"Mr. Breckenridge always introduc-
ed people to me and treated me with
the utmost Difference and respect, and
in no way during the years Of our life
together did he fail to do this until he
began the denials of our engagement.
81 knew no old gentleman in Gin
cinnati, and the only old gentlemen
whoever called on me was Mr.. Rhodes
and Mr.. Breckenridge.
"Mr. Breckenridge knew of my con-
tracts with Mr.. Rhodes, for it was of
this matter | wrote to him for advice,
and he came in answer to my letter.
He knew Mr.. Rhodes personally; they
lived all their lives In Fayette county
and were Morgan men.
"That my word was welcome to Mr..
Rhodes explains Itself, when it ia
known that the first year Of my ac-
quaintance with him and indebtedness
to MIN, Mr.. Breckenridge and | began
our life together. | have purposely
said nothing of the facts directly bear
ing on the case, because l have con-
cluded to hand you with this memor-
anda of the facts as given to my coun-
sci in my statement to them and re-
duced to writing before the suit was
brought.
