AMERICANS IN SANTIAGO.
Correspondence of The Chicago Record.

Cores ondence of The Chicago Record
The Americans are naturally the wonder and
amaZement Of the Santiago natives The en-
tire nervous system Of the city is daily being
shocked by the new sights and the new events
since America took possession. The people
here are accustomed to a very formal way or

were studied and the more enlightened talk

easy going way of the visitors is astounding

the dainty senortas look at one another in

An American girl is the most interesting Of
all sights TO them. They watch her in silent
amazement from the time she appears in view
until she has turned the corner. They seem to
think the American woman the most wonder
full Of all earthly objects. The Santiago women.

threw the whole city into a commOtiOn was the
appearance OF a young American girl on the
plaza riding a wheel and wearing a white
costume with short skirt Such a thing as
a girls riding wheel was never before dreamed
OF in Santiago.
This fair cyclist was doubtless out for the
purpose of having a little fun, and she sue

under the law of the state of New York
or of the United States or any state
therein.
Nineteenth-Alice G. Vanderbilt his
widow, is appointed executrix, and his
son. Alfred G.. Vanderbilt VIM. X Van
derbilt, Chauncey NJ. Depew and Edward
V. w. Rossiter are appointed executors,
together with Reginald c., who may quail
ify as soon as he becomes of age; and it
is provided that no commission com
pensation shall be paid to any executor or
trustee for service as such, except that IN
case all the executors die or decline 10
act, trust company is appointed instead
free from such restriction. The trust
company finally designated is the United
codicil to the will.
Twentieth-The executors are empow
cred to agree upon division or partition
and to make a settlement, compromise
and agreement of any unsettled portion
of the estate Of the testator's father
Twenty -first-The necessary powers are
given to the executors for the manage
ment of the estate and The sale Of real
estate.
The will is witnessed by the late Henry
II. Anderson of 81 Gramarcy Park, who
was Mr.. Vanderbilt's local adviser, and
also by j. Christensen of New York City,
and G. 5. Prince of Yonkers, n. Y.
Under the first codicil an additional
legacy Of 100000 is given to the rector
church wardens and vestrymen of St.
Bartholomew church TO be invested
and the annual income thereof is to be
applied to the church missionary work
of that parish.
BY the second and last codicil a be-
quest of 100000 is given absolutely
to his daughter, Gertrude V. Whitney,
in addition to the provision previously
made by the will. A bequest for $4,000
is given to John A. Peterson, then in
his employ.
Senator Depew also gave out the fol-
lowing statement regarding the action
of Alfred Vanderbilt:
when Alfred Vanderbilt returned
he decided from brotherly affection
and for family harmony to take out of
his own inheritance and give to his
brother Cornelius n sum sufficient to
make the fortune of Cornelius the same
as that of his brothers and sisters.
This has been accepted by Cornelius in
the same spirit
This action was altogether volun-
tary, no threats having been made. OF
course, there might have been con-
test under the terms of the will. but
there was never suggestion of one.
The whole thing was done in most
beautiful, brotherly way.
The entire fortune is estimated to be
| about $70,000000. When some surprise
was express at the smallness of the
amount. Senator Depew said it was not
| strange, when it is remembered that
| Mr. Vanderbilt had been giving away
perhaps half of his income for the last
% years.
The exact amount of the fortune that
is divided will not be known until it is
| appraised by the state officials. No
schedule Of the numerous Vanderbilt
| holdings of shares of stock is contained
in the will.
Senator Depew said that this was the
only will of Mr. Vanderbilt in exist
| ence.

The greatest danger in the country is the use
of alcohol, morphine and opium, and other poi
sons in liquid medicine sold to sick women. The
alcohol is used to prevent souring: morphine and
opium are used to deaden pain. This danger
doesn't exist when Dr. Coderres Red Pills are
used. Pills are the modern, up-to-date remedy
Liquids are old-fashioned and much more expens-
