MATTHEWS AND BUL6ER

NiUht.

Those clever comedians, Matthews
and Bulger, who had . successful run

theatre, New York, with their big
vaudeville operetta, "By the Sad Sea
| Waves" are coming TO FL Paso next
Tuesday evening on their return east
from y successful engagement At the
Columbia theatre in San Francisco.
This attraction has been voted one OF
the very best novelties to be presented
here this season. The piece, play or
whatever you call it, il described as q
! vaude viIle farce comedy set to music,
with all the accessories of chorus,
scenery and costumes, and In point OF
numbers largely exceeding many OF
Itwas considered an Am bilious un-
dertaking when first preached, but
now that it Ia sailing on the waves OF
success there are those who claim that
nothing could fail where Mathews and
Bulger are concerned. Their support
includes Mile. LIE Seye, engaged es-
peoially for the Matthew'S and Bulger
company, from the Folies Bergere,
Paris, Jane Lennox, Bessie Challeng-
Agnes Way burn, Mabel Meredith,
Eva Leslie, Marie Wood, Marie Bel

Tony Hart, Thos. A. Herman, Harry
Sinclair Gelder and Fred Gregory.
The scenery ia of the most ella borate
the company carrying the
three acts complete, while the
costumes are said to be revelations OF
the designers skill. The music,
which abounds, is original and is likely
to become very popular, and 30 are the
bevy' of handsome girls, which form
the chorus. Matthews and Bulger's
efforts are to add to their already fiat
tering reputation.

THE VANDERBILT FORTUNE.
How 1t Originated Some Three
quarters of q Century AGO.

On the high cliffs which skirt the
Raritan river just below the canal out
let in the famous old Bellonia hotel, ii
where Commodore Cornelius Wander.
bilt made his start in life and laid the
foundation of his great fortune. The
building Is dilapidated, but as solid a.
in the early years of the nineteenth
century.
The hotel was built in 1903 by the
New York and New Brunswick Steam
boat company. With boatmen and
shippers it became a favorite resort,
and country residents who drove into
town hardly felt satisfied until they
had dined at the Bellonia. Twice q
day the coaches of the Trenton line
pulled up before the inn.
In 1923 the Bellonia passed into the
hands of Cornelius Vanderbi who was
unknown, except that every day or so
he would sail up from Perth Amboy
with a boat load of fish and oysters and
hawk them about the town.
How did Vanderbilt get the money
from fish pedding to buy the Bellonia?
early in 1892 William Gibbons, a
capitalist, made light drive from New
York to Perth Amboy. 1t was imper-
alive that he should cross Arthur Hill
to Tottenville, S. 1. The night was
stormy. Gibbons oesought the ferry
man to take him across, but he refused.
He then wandered into an old ferry
tavern where hardy bostmen were ga
thered.
"Where's the man with the nerve to
row me across?" he called out.
One old salt said:
''Why, cap'n, you're daftp'
Gibbons cried: "Name your price:
I've got to co."
just then the door swung open and
"Corny' Vanderbilt ssalked in.
Vanderbilt ordered a drink and
walIowed II in silence: then he re-
et's start!''
Buttonine up his coat Corny got out
his boat, with q pair of oars, an oilskin |
md lantern. The capitalist climbed |
Upon the rear seat and held the Ian
'ern. Perhaps an hour later the two
men, after q perilous voyage, trod
Staten Island, soaked to the skin.
Vanderbilt had just been married |
Ind Gibbons could not persuade him to
'emain over night on the island. The
'ich man handed him q card, with
ome money, and told him to call at the
tesmboat company's Office in Battery
Place when he visited New York
Some weeks later Vanderbilt did go
md was cordially received. When he
vas about to leave Gibbons gave him q
'aokage and told him to go to a wharf
where he would find an oyster smack
or his own use.
With this boat Vanderbilt began to
make money. Not many months later
e had saved 5000 and leased the Bel
onia Hotel. Fortune seemed 30 have
miled upon him, for about the same {
me he was made captain of the first
between New York and New
brunswick, the Bellonia, through the !
id of Gibbons.
Vanderbilt had plenty of competi-
on. Opposing lines were started and I
e had to hustle to maintain his pre-
minence.
While he was on the water Mrs. Van i
erbilt cared for the guests who came

to the Bellonia. She frequently took
hand in caring for their horses and
divided the rest of her time in looking
after the house and bar. She, one of
whose descendants was to be duchess,
washed and scrubbed to accumulate
fortune. She had good eye for bust
ness.
After while Mrs. Vanderbilt felt q
desire to live more like the arisIocrats
about her, and moved her household
into house yet standing in Burnett
street. Here it was that William 81.
Vanderbilt was born. Captain Van
derbilt WAS promoted and wanted to
give up the tavern. but his wife was
not willing to kill the goose that laid
the golden egg, and continued to well
come travellers. The good cheer of
the hostelry was famous.
Charles Spaulding kept an excellent
privates chool at $40 George street in
those days. and to this was young w.
h. Vanderbilt sent, having for school
mates boys known later in life as Gov
ernor Ludlow, Bishop Richard Good
rich, Colonel Jacob ]. Janeway. Judge
Charles D. Deshler. and other pro-
minent Jerseymen.
In 1884 the steamer Bellonia was
burned. Vanderbilt was Immediately
transferred to another boat, which he
won the confidence of his employers,
and when q vacancy occurred in the
New York Office Commodore" Van
derbilt was made superintendent OF the
line. Upon the death of Mr.. Gibbons,
Mr.. Vanderbilt became president OF
the company.
