THE BLACK TULIP"
Grundy's Decentralization of Dumas
Novel q London Success.

LONDON. Oct 2S.-Sydney Grundys
dramatization of Dumas La Tulipe Noire''
was presented at the Haymarket Theater
this evening by Frederick Harrison and
Cyril Maude. 1.-THE Black Tulip has an ex-
quisitely delicate theme. in which the love
of a beautiful girl battles with and finally
triumphs over young Hollander's love for
flowers. 1t is only when in prison that the
tulip grower finds in the jailer's daughter
something better than his beloved tulips.
Strangely enough his bulbs bloom under the
care of his fair jailer. The triumph comes
when William of Orange liberates the
youth, joins him to his sweetheart and
awards him a prize for the discovery of
the black tulip. Miss Winifred Emery as
Rosa, the jailers daughter, and Cyril
Maude as the tulip grower were heartily
applauded.

LOST MILLIONS BY MARRIAGE.
story OF the Estrangement of Corne-
Illus and His Father.

NEW YORK, Oct 2S-Cornelius Wander
bits marriage 20 Miss Grace Wilson cost
him s46 Oc0, 900. or the difference between his
legacy and that of his brother Alfred. Cor
nelius is the elder brother, and but for this
marriage, which his father violently OPP
posed, would have become the head Of the
family and his fathers principal heir.
In April, when the rumors Of the Wander
bilt-Wilson engagement were flying thick
and fast, there was a stormy interview be-
tween father and son. Mr.. Vanderbilt first
pleaded, then commanded his son to give
up all thought Of marrying Miss Wilson,
but to this young Cornelius turned a deaf
ear. AT his request a meeting of the Wilson
family was held, and they then were made
cognizant of the violent opposition to the
union of the young people. The Wilson's
gave a dinner, at which the announcement
of their daughters marriage in May to
young Vanderbilt was made.
as young Cornelius Vanderbilt was afflicted
with inflammatory rheumatism, and the
event was postponed. at first indefinitely
AS last resort Mr.. Vanderbilt. accom-
panied by Drs. Janeway and McBurney,
went to plead with his son against the step
the date of the wedding. Young Cornelius
still was obdurate. He declared that, If
need be, he would repudiate the whole Van
derbilt family.
Mr. Vanderbilt arose at this juncture, his
face livid with anger. But before he could
speak he clutched at his throat and fell at
his sons feet from stroke of paralysis.
The preparation for the wedding went on
and when Miss Wilson and young Wander
bilt were united in marriage on Aug. 3, the
father was so Ill that his death was ex-
pected. When the father regained con-
seriousness he begged that the wedding be
postponed until fall, but this request was
denied.
There have been many reasons advanced
for the objection of Cornelius Vanderbilt to
the marriage OF his son to Grace Wilson
One was that the Gwynnes Mrs. Wander
bilt was a Gwynne) and Wilson's were next
door neighbors before coming TO New York,
and that there was disagreement between
them which never was forgotten. The Will
sons never were considered as high on the
social ladder the Vanderbilts, and this
was given as another reason for the Oojec-
ton. But the most probable one of all was
the difference in age between Miss Wilson
and young Mr.. Vanderbilt. At the time of
their wedding she was about thirty-three
and he was twenty-five.
Since the marriage and before the death
OF the elder Vanderbilt there were frequent
rumors of reconciiations between father
and son. Young Cornelius did meet his
father once or twice, but that he never was
forgiven for his disobedience is shown by
the will.
