Nearly Stung to Death by Bees.

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. 13.-John Mar
timex, Of this city, was attacked by
two swarms of bees, and they kept
at him SO persistently that he was
forced to seek refuge in the Mississippi
river, but a few rods distant. The
bees pursued him, and he plunged
headlong into the water, only showing
enough of his face above water to give
him opportunity to breathe from time
to time. Finally the bees flew away
after Martinek had been in the water
over an hour. He returned to his
home, and the doctors found on his
face, neck and hands over 100 distinct
bee stings. He is in a critical con-
ditiOn.

And Ended 1t With Railway Interests
Vast as the Country.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, a son of Will
liam H., the first born, was born in
New DOrp, Staten Island, on Nov. %,
1913. His grandfather was Cornelius
j., the founder Of the family. The
young Cornelius went through the
common schools and then entered a
bank. not as president nor ornamental
director, but as plain clerk, at a
plain salary. He went early to his desk
and left late. On Saturday night he
went to his fathers farm in Staten
Island, but he returned on Sunday
night, so that he might be early at
his desk on Monday morning. He
saved money and developed financial
independence of his elders. The father
gOOd-naturedly laughed at his sons
thrift To the grandfather it was no
laughing matter. THAT boy,' he said,
will make man. He is making his
own living"
After several years in the bank Cor
nelius the younger was summoned to
Cornelius the elder. The commodore
was going to Europe, and he offered
to take the boy along. 1t is recorded
that he did not yield. The delighted
grandfather saw the young man pause
and weigh the proposal. 1t involved
the surrender of his salary while he
was abroad. That settled it, He
shook his head. Il cannot afford it,"
was his reply.
That incident, it is said, did much to
fix the young man in his grandfather's
esteem. The commodore saw fit to
raise William H. to a higher place in
his regard, and gave to him a share
in the management of their then in
FAINT Vanderbilt system. Cornelius, Jr,
shared in his fathers good favor, and
was transferred from the bank to the
office of the Harlem road. This was
his first taste of railroad work. With
in four years, which had been four
years of work and not of play, he was
made treasurer.
At % Cornelius Vanderbilt married.
His wife was Alice Gwynne, the
daughter of a Cincinnati lawyer. He
was already member of the EpiSco-
pal church, leader in Sunday schools,
and a member of the Young Mems
Christian association. Children came
into his home at intervals of two
years until they numbered five-one
girl, Gertrude, and four boys. The
eldest, William H., Jr., died at Yale;
the others survive.
At his grandfather's death Cornelius
reaped the fruits of his high favor
with the old man. While the other
sons of William H. received $1,000
900 each, he got $5,O00,OO0. Besides,
it is said, he had specialized both
wisely and well, and the men in the
street said that the favorite grandson
of Commodore Vanderbilt was
worth $10,000,000. He rose continually
TO the railway possibilities before him
and at his death his railway interests
were as vast as the nation is broad.
He was a director in forty-five rail-
