Mr.. Vanderbilt's death was caused by
stroke of paralysis, the second which
he has suffered. The first attack was
in July, 1896.
Cornelius Vanderbilt was the eldest
son of the late w. Fl. Vanderbilt and
was born on Staten Island, Nov. 81,
1S43.
Began AZ . Messenger.
William Fl. Vanderbilt, his father,
was at that time farmer, and Corne-
Illus, at the age Of Is, left school, and
secured place as messenger in the
Shoe and Leather bank. His grand
father, the commodore, learning of this,
sent for him and asked why he had not
applied to him for place.
Because did not want to ask you
for anything" was the reply.
This pleased the commodore, and it is
said that he made codicil to his will
a few days later, leaving $1,000, 900 to
his grandson,
Cornelius left the Shoe and Leather
bank to go into the employ of Kissam
Bros, bankers, but later his grand.
father asked him to enter the railroad
service. The young man was making
$50 a month and declined to leave his
place unless he got more money. He
was given sos and accepted it. He was
then about 81 years old. The first place
i he was given was that Of assistant
treasurer of the New York and Harlem
road. His rise was rapid and he sue
ceeded his father as head of the Van
derbilt system.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's active career was
practically closed when he suffered a
paralytic stroke in 1896. Despite his
enormous business interests, he found
time to devote to church and Sunday
school work, which he began early in
life. He gave freely to the railroad
branch Of the Y. M. G. A. and to the
work of st. rtholomew's church
in this city.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's great business cares
made his life necessarily methodical.
and he was noted for his punctuality.
Mr.. Vanderbilt went to Europe last
spring, and came home on June "a, &C.
| companied by Mrs. Vanderbilt and his
daughter, Gladys.
They went to Newport the same day
and Mr.. Vanderbilt improved con-
stantly in health. On Aug. 5, he gave
g house party at his home, The Break
ers. The last social affairs in The
Breakers were upon the departure OF
Alfred Vanderbilt for 'round-the-
i world trip. He left for Seattle on July
'26. accompanied by William Proudfit
burden, Ernest Iselin and Douglas j..
Cochran. NJ
Mr.. Vanderbilt left FIVE children,
Cornelius, Gertrude, Alfred, Reginald
\ and Gladys. Cornelius married a
daughter Of r. 4. Wilson, the banker,
I about two years ago, and later Gertrude
became the wife Of Harry Payne Whit.

ANOTHER CHANCE.

OTIS TO BE Allowed to Show What He
Can DO With . larger Army.
CHICAGO. Sept. ia special to The
Record from Washington says: The
friends Of General Otis are becoming
hopeful that they will succeed in hav.
ing him retained in his present com.
nnand Last week they were deeply
discouraged and one high official of the
war department openly admitted that
he believed popular clamor" would re-
suit in his friends recall and the assign
ment of General Miles or General Mer-
ritt to Manila.
The prediction is now being conf.
dently made by General Otis admirers
that he will be permitted to demon
strate what he can do with large
army before being censured for his fail
ure to make more progress during the
last campaign.
It is impossible owing to the conflict
ing interests at work to state positively
how the contest for supremacy will
terminate. General Miles friends are
as confident as are those Of General
Otis, but the drift of feeling now seems
to have turned in favor of the latter.
Plans have been adopted at the depart
ment, however. under which General
Lawton and General Macarthur are
each to be given irresponsible command
of several divisions, and they will BE-
gin operations just as soon as the rainy
season is considered at an end. The
cavalry will be under command of
General Lawton, while General Mac
Arthur's command will be composed
principally of infantry. One command
will operate to the north, while the
other will probably cover the south.

THE CREATION CRITICIsED
Philip Hale Thinks That Miss Evan
geline Florence Is Not Equal
to Her Role

Worcester. Mass, Sept. 29-The forty
second annual festival of the Worcester
County Musical association began last
evening in Mechanics Han with per
Farnance of Hayden's Creation
George w. Chadwick is the conductor
fhis second season.. Franz knelsel Is
ehe assistant conductor ana concert
master Charles H. Grout IS the
organist, and Arthur J. Bassett the
pianist The chorus numbers 400
The singers were Miss EVangellne
Florence Of London, Evan Williams ana
ID. Ffrangcon- Davies.
Miss Florence made her first appear
ance in the United States since her
success IN England. She gave little eX-
pIanatiOn Of this success. Her voice
is flexible and of liberal compass, out
is shriu and hard. and without SUD
stance, warmth, or color. She was Of
ten inclined to sing above the true
pitch, and, although she occasionally
pleased by her tecanic and the ease
Of her attack in the upper register, she
often took unmusical and abomtnaote
liberties with the text, especially in the
aria 20 Mighty Pens" 1t is enough
to say that Miss Florence was unequal
70 the allotted task.
Mr. Williams has g habit of singing
well at the orchestra festival. Later
in the season he comes to Boston, and
either from physical fndispOsitlon or
from OVerWork he seldom repeats his
success at Worcester. Then there is
wonder at the praise awarded him IN
this city. Last night Mr.. Williams was
1n fine voice. and as rule in too heroic
vein Thus in the aria, The Native
Worth" which is one Of the few re-
deening features of The Creation" he
sang of the softly smiling virgin as
though he were Samson wOOtng Delilah
with brute strength
Mr.. Davies was at mis- best. He often
overacted in song, and he was generally
too impressive in recitative. The chorus
sang with more animation and with
greater volume of tone than at the
opening concert of the last festival But
precision was often lacking; the four
parts were not Wen balanced, and the
walk of each part was not always well

meeting was held Thursday in the
rooms of the Mission at Fourth and
Jackson streets for the purpose of COM
pleting an organization of the board of

ception was held at the Mission room
in honor of Miss Willard's sixtieth
birthday. A small table under a pic
ture of Miss Willard was loaded with
potted plants. Miss McGinnis, deacon
ness of the First Methodist church con-
Quoted the opening exercises and talks
on Miss Willard were given by Mrs.
Annie l. Diggs and Mrs. A. G. Lord.
Mrs. E. f. Tanner of LeavenWorth
who is to be the matron of the home
is very enthusiastic on the subject and
is going to give her time and work with
out any remuneration whatever, even
paying her own expenses. She has done
prison work, and worked in homes for
the friendless in Leavenworth and Kan
sas City and is anxious to begin her
work here She says that the home is
in need Of donations, such as clothing
furniture books and in fact anything
which goes toward making a comfort
able home. Mr.. G. NJ. Sheldon who is
to be one Of the advisory board, has
promised to donate an entire set Of his
books.
