five feet eight inches tall and weighs
about $50 pounds. He is well built His
complexion Is dark and rather pale. His
features strongly resemble those of his
father, and he possesses points Of re-
semblance in expression to his mother,
who was Miss Gwynne, Of Cincinnati
While young Vanderbilt was still in
college, and perhaps even before that
he had formed an attachment which so
ciety believes will soon result in a mar
riage. Miss Elsie French is the young
woman whom everybody believes will be
the Mrs. Vanderbilt of the future. She =ls
a daughter Of the late Francis OrmonGe
French, president Of the Manhattan Trust
company. She has a fortune of her own
of more than 10000 600, but that. Of course.
is trif1e Of no Importance compared to
the Vanderbilt millions,
Miss French is very pretty. She and
young Vanderbilt have been friends since
infancy, and have spent nearly all Their
summers together, at Newport. It is
highly probable that the enga cement will
be announced after Mr.. Vanderbilts fam
fly affairs have been settled.
After graduating from Yale In July last
he started on tour round the world.
He was accompanied by three friends,
Williams P. Burden, Ernest Iselin and
Douglas Cochran, and three hundred
trunks. 1t was to have been the most
luxurious journey ever made by an Amer
lean millionaire. From New York to
Vancouver, by way Of the New York
Central and the Canadian Pacific rail-
road, the party travelled In q special car
containing every comfort.
While he was in Japan his father died
suddenly, and he was called home to he

day that young Vanderbilt never put MS
head cut of his room while he was at
Yale. That was, of course not Hteraiiy
true, but 1t gives an indication OF MS
disposition.
He spent a great amount of time IN
his rooms and alone. While there he was
generally occupied in reading. Ills tastes
were catholic. He studied hard ara
also read for amusement. He gave
great deal Of time to history, mathemat-
les and science. He was also an insatia-
BILE reader of novels and poetry.
In spite of his retiring nature he was
elected to the famous Skull and Bones
society. This elects fifteen new members
every year from the senior class. Its
election methods are extremely digniiled
and fixed by immutable laws. Those VINO
are eligible for election stand up IN q
row. Then one member OF tho society
Is delegated to notify each man or MS
election The delegate utters no WORD,
but walks behind the man and punches
him severely in the back, thus making
him suddenly realize that very great
honor has been conferred upon him. -,
He was previously a member or the
Beta chapter OF the distinguished creek
letter secret socity Psi Epsilon
Thre was considerable curiosity among
the people of New Haven to know whet
Young Vanderbilt was like. but 1t re-
ceived little qualification. He never
bought an article in a New Haven store,
never went to any social entertainments
in the city and was hardly ever seen on
the street.
He rarely, If ever, went to an athletic
meeting at Yale. He was nothing or an
athlete himself.

where's the apple?" asked burly
Texan
"She ate 1t ALL" the preacher answered
He kissed his wife and wept a great
deal. Three hours after she ate the apple
she died. The burly Texan used all of his
great strength to unlock her dead arms
from her husbands neck.
On Oct. IL they buried her In the grave
yard of the small, white church with the
tall slender spire. On Oct. 13 Morrison
wrote Miss Whittlesey
Things are now in such shape that we
can marry" he said. ION or about Oct.
"a will be with you, never to leave you
again"
The preacher might have married Miss
Whittlesey and lived his ignoble life out
ever after had 1t not been for the burly
Texan with the suspicious eyes.
He remembered what he thought were
curious circumstances on the night Of
Mrs. Morrison's death. He made quiet
investigation. He found that Morrison
had shown much interest In the depart
ure of the doctor, the only one in the
village, who was going away for a week.
He learned that he had bought strych-
nine from the village druggist, saying
that he wanted 1t for 'varmints that
carried off his chickens" The Texan de-
manded that Mrs. Morrison's body be ex-
humed This was done. Traces Of strych-
nine were found. A warrant was Issued
for Morrison's arrest. The sheriff went
to the parsonage, then to the little white
church, but found that the preacher had
fed.
He had gone to Topeka, and was ar
rested in Miss Whittlesey's company on
Nov. &C.
She refused to speak to him and left
the room when she learned he had been
married.
She has never seen him since, and no
word has passed between them.
The Topeka officers held him for three
days, awaiting advices from Texas.
There were none, and the man was re-
leased. He wandered about the country
under various aliases. Texas justice,
tardy in this instance, laid it's hand upon
him in California last April as he was
preparing to ship to Honolulu.
He was taken to Panhandle City for
trial. He was convicted Of murder in the
first degree. The case was carried to the
court of criminal appeals. That body
confirmed the opinion of the lower court.
The Methodist church at Panhandle
City is without pastor. 1t is said that
the parsonage will be torn down.

DEAD SPOT
In the Caribbean Sea, Where the
Water Remains Stagnant.

Water Remains Stagnant.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
There is a dead spot in the Caribbean
Sea-, said the first officer of a Brazilian
ship, chatting at the custom house the
other day, that ought to be called the
port OF bottles 1t lies very nearly mid
way between Cartagena, in Colombia, and
kingston, Jamaica, and at guess 1
she uld say it was due east Of Cape
Graclas Dios. 1t is out of the steamer
tracks, and the action Of the great cur
rents going one way and another has left
a space of stagnant water without any
real movement at all. Anything that
gets into the dead spot Is apt to stay
there unless driven out by some big
storm, and will simply drift round and
rOund, gathering sea grass and barnacles
Inc last time l saw the place was In '95,
When L was on board a tramp from Rio
that had changed its course a little to
take UP some rubber at a Central AmerI-
can port While We were passing through
we noticed floating SPAR and among a
lot of rubbish attached to 1t was a pc
cul1ar-look1ng, round object, bright red in
color. We put off boat to investigate
and 1t proved to be patent buoy, which
had been set adrift from a Florida light
house station in 93, and was part of a
systematic attempt to ascertain the speed
and direction of currents. Inside was an
official memoranda, which was afterward
returned to the navy department. with
data OF when and where found. But what
is good deal more interesting is the
fact that while we were securing the buoy
we discovered three bottles sticking in the
drift, all covered with weeds and slime
One was empty and the other two had
papers inside. The first was a mem
oranda that the bottle had been dropped
from a yacht off the Grand Cayman, in, I
think, the year 1892, and the other in
closure showed that it came from a ship
bound for Montevideo, on what date
forget. In each case it was evidently the
whim of some idle passenger, but it was
a little odd that we should find the whole
collection together. noticed a lot of
other draft wood in the dead spot, and I
am confident that no end Of bottles could
be culed from the place. Hundreds are
dropped aboard every year, but very few
escape being knocked to pieces unless
they happen to find their way to some
such a still place as I have described

which she did not aeign to give, M SIS
Whittlesey had broken the engagement.
They had not met for ten years. Miss
Whittlesey had bloomed from the rose

full blown rose of maturedi beauty. The
passion that had been slumbering for q
decade broke out afresh In the preachers
breast. He forgot the tintd, blue-eyed
wife In Texas, or when he remembered it
was to execrate ,himselfror her.
