With the Astors and Vanderbilts the ten
dency for several generations has been to
leave at least two-thirds of the money to
the son most apt to keep it, while all the
heirs have been prohibited from willing
any part of their wealth TO any but their
immediate descendants. Commodore Van

man to the top round of thu ladder of for

age he had saved one hundred dollars. This
money he invested in a small sloop and
went into business for himself-tha trans
portation of farm produce from Long
Island to New York
He married young, and man and wife
both turned money makers. He sailed

Half a century later and his fortune was

sorrow. His friends never heard him
speak of his eldest con, William II. Van

Elevator Accident.

Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock
an accident of peculiar nature with
fortunate outcome occurred at the
hardware store of Hagan & Schad.
Frank Pfaff and W. S. Gandee, of
Athens, were descending on the ele-
vator, and at the second floor a piece
of wood projected in such manner
that it became pinched between the
floor of the building and the floor of
the elevator. Mr. Pfaff stepped OFF at
this floor and attempted TO kick the
obstruction from its place, and Mr.
Gandee was trying to help from his po-
s1.on on the car. While releasing the
car the drum was unwinding, and as
soon as the wood was removed. down
fell the car, and when the cable caught
1t The heavy oak board snapped in two
and rendered the safety chute useless,
so tnat the car went down to the base
ment with a very severe jolt. Mr.,
Gandee received a sprained foot and a
scare but no serious injury. Mr. Pfaff
was as badly scared as was the occu-
pant of the car.
After the car had struck bottom a
heavy piece of the cross bar fell, but
fortunately did not strike Mr.. Gandee.
1t was a lucky escape from what might
have been something serious.
The accident will-teach the elevator
men one thing, and that is that their
safety clutch is operated from the
wrong side of the car.

decker and has a carrying capacity Of
5,OOO. She Is so ret wide by 225 feet in
length, and was built in 1895 by Capt
Clark at cost of $4,000.
SINCE the Ben Hur came off the
docks at Parkersburg some five or six
weeks ago, where her hull was given a
complete overhaullng, she has been ly-

Her machinery has been thoroughly
oyerhauled and repaired and her wood

She will make two trips a week be-

on Frog Island, the up-to-date cake

steamboat Robert e. Lee, pastimes on

preted by company of fifty people,
maA.ng one of the grandest entertain

Another Reform" Contem.
plated.

AobSNe
The Chicago woman who has come
to New York with the idea of reform
ing the chorus girls seems to have
made a mistake in her estimate of the
price at which they would be willing to
exchange their present employment
for the work of the kind she offers.
From $12 to $l4 week is the pay of
the average chorus girl and to remove
them from the demarillzing influences
of stage life she volunteers to find
place for them in mercantile employ
ment at one quarter of that sum-
There is not likely to be much demand
for reformation at this figure, in view
Of the greater demand for their ser
vices at the higher figure. Chorus
girls who are beautiful enough and
have voice enough and other qualifica-
tlons are not easy to find. The de-
mand for them Is far greater than the
supply, and one New York manager
has recently advertised in many cities
of the country for young women who
are anxious to enter the profession in
this way he deficiency in the supply
is less noticeable in New York than it
is with those companies that are to
travel through the country. Only a
short time ago manager about to
send one of his companies on the road
found that three quarters of the young
women ne expected to take along with
m regretted very much that they
were compelled to refuse, but could
not think of undertaking the hardships
of a seasons travel. Most of them
had their homes here or other ties
which bound them to New York, and
leave them bhey could not The veter-
ans who have served their time in the
business and appreciate the value of
sa-ary wherever received are the only
recruits that can be relied upon to take
= road at any time; but they are usu-
ally deficient in ether qualities looked
for in the most popular type of chorus
girl. AT n revival last spring of a play
given Is years ago one of the original
chorus singers was in the cast She
still finds a demand for her service,
but not in New York. Here she would
not e wanted even in the back row.
Only youth aud beauty are wanted here
and they are so much desired that the
|
more conventional employment will
probably make little progress.-New
