COURTLAND VAN RENSSELAER,
Fourth Avenue.

COURTLAND VAN RENSSELAER,.
Fourth Avenue.
And Mr.. Van Rensselaer, is carrying on
an extensive business in selling butter,
milk and fresh eggs. He is young man
of wealth who studied the subject of max
ing butter On his travels in Europe he
came across some remarkably fine butter
in an English suburban town.
He found out what the cattle
were fed on, just how the butter
was made and marketed When he got
back to New York he proceeded to carry
out his ideas of furnishing remarkably
good butter to people of limited means.
The business pays good profit, although
he does not charge high prices he has a
dozen other schemes, all of which accom-
plish good that keep him busy ten or
twelve hours day. His social obliga-
tions and an occasional theater party
take up the remainder of his spare time.
He is a muscular young man, full of life
and spirit, and he says he enjoys every
day of his life.
RICHEST YOUNG MEN IN AMERICA.
John Jacob Astor, George w. Wander
bilt and the three Gould boys are five
young men whose aggregate wealth
reaches up close to the $500, 100000 mark.
They are the richest young men in
America.
1t is doubtful if five more conservative,
level headed young men could be found in
the United States. All have tasks to
perform, and they are doing their work
in an intelligent, comprehensive manner.
George W. Vanderbilt spends many hours
a week with his books He is d great
reader and he has formulated a plan of
solving a social problem of the south on
an entirely new basis. During his visits
to his Carolina castle, in course of erec-
ton, he noticed the awful poverty of the
whites of the lower class and the negroes.
1t is said to be his intention to erect big
mills in some of the southern states, so as
to give employment TO thousands of poor
people who cannot get a living out of the
soil.
John Jacob Astor is an expert electrical
engineer. and this is on the authority Of a
distinguished editor of an electrical pa
per. Mr.. Astor has taken out patents for
several electrical appliances, He has built
an electrical launch himself, and is study
ing the problem of how to better apply
electricity as motive power for rail
roads and ocean steamships Both Mr..
AstOr and Mr. George w. Vanderbilt are
young men who don't drink champagne
nor wear big diamonds, nor sport red
ties.
The three Gould boys, George, Howard
and Eddie, are manly young men. They
work as hard as any of their employees
several hours a day the greater part of
the year. What sport they have is of a
manly sort. Mr.. George Gould and his
brother Howard are taking their outing
for the summer in defending the Amer
lca's cup in foreign waters. Eddie Gould,
who is a member of the Seventh
regiment, will take his outing
this year in the Adirondacks in a
sober, respectable manner. He is an en-
ergetic, brainy and sensible young man,
who dresses no better than ordinary we'll
dressed young men one sees at any city
church of Sunday morning. He wears
no diamonds, nor does he try to break
any champagne drinking records
And there are others in New York be-
sides the FIVE richest young men in
America whe-are not high rollers.
CHAMBERS ARE MANLY AND AMBITIOUS.
You will find in handsome suite of
offices in the Equitable building, three
young men who bear the name of Chanler.
These three millionaires are busy, hust-
ling lawyers, with regulations made be-
fore they are 80. They had money in
abundance. but they wanted to make the
name of Chanier known in the profess
slons, and they have done so. One Of
these young men, who could be high
roller, but is not, is Louis Stuyvesant
Chanler. Heis known all over the East
Side as the most humane lawyer that
ever practiced in the courts OF New York.
III he finds nun in the criminal dock
whom he thinks is innocent of the crime
charged, he goes. to work to secure his re-
lease. If the man has no fee, that doesn't t
matter. He has another brother, John
William Astor Chanler, the African eX-
plorer. He also is a young man who is
doing good In the world. For the past
two years he has been risking his life in
the heart of Africa that science might be
benefited.
A cab broke down on lower Fifth
avenue the other day. The driver was
bewailing his fate. He had been in hard
luck, and was paying for his vehicle on
lnStailments. 10 have new axle put in
would be great hardship. Along came
an athletic young man, who joined the
crowd that had collected about the
wreck
"Hellol Thomas. What's the matterl"
ne sang out TO the iehu.
Matter enough, Mr.. Beach. Sir, am
ruined altogether now.p
The athletic young man was the mil
honaire, Frederick o. Beach, the inti-
mate friend of the Vanderbilts. He had
ridden in Thomas cab from his club to
MS home few times, and 1t is unneces-
Sary to add that Thomas cab had new
axle withoutexpense TO its owner. This
popular young millionaire has every OPP
portunity to become high roller, and he
Is much sought after by society; but a
more democratic and sensible young man

great deal Of his time TO study, and has
