New York, Oct. as.--The provisions
OF the will of the late Cornelius Van
derbilt have been made public in a
statement by Chauncey M. Depew.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt inherits the
larger portion OF his fathers fortune,
and becomes practically the head of
the Vanderbilt family.
The will makes no mention of the
marriage OF Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr.,
and Miss Wilson, nor to any quarrel
between the father and son because of
the union, but apparently the fathers
displeasure was visited upon his eldest
son, he receiving, all told, under the
terms OF the will. but 81, 500, 900, and
81 900, 900 of this to be held in trust by
the executors.
Alfred Gwiune Vanderbilt is, OF
course, the residuary legatee, and will
possess fortune of probably $40, o00. 900
to soo,oo0,oo0. Gladys, Reginald and
Gertrude Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney,
will receive about 81 800, 900 each. But
Mr.. Dcpew states that Alfred will give
from his share enough to Cornelius to
make the latter AS rich rs his brother
and sisters. Alfred will. therefore,
turn over to Cornelius about 81, 900, 600.

Mr.. John 0. Atkinson, Independence,
Mo-, in recent letter to DR.. Hartman,
says" My wife had been suffering from
complication of diseases for Is years.
"Her case had baffled the skill of some
of the most noted physicians. One of
her worst troubles was chronic constipa-
ton of several years. standing. She also
suffered with general debility and
roxysms-sometimes as often as six or
eight times day. At this time she was
passing through that most critical period
in the life of woman-change Of life.
"In June, 1895, I wrote to you about
her case. You advised course of Pc
ru-na and Man-a-lin, which we at once
commenced, and have to say it has COM
pletely cured her. She firmly believes
that she would have been dead only for
these wonderful remedies.
"About the same time I wrote you

was almost past going. 1 commenced
using Pe-ru-na according to your in
structions, and continued it's use for
about year, and it has completely
cured me.
81 have to say that your remedies do
all you claim for them, and even more.
Catarrh cannot exist where Pe-ru-na is
taken according to directions. Mama
lin is a most wonderful medicine for
chronic constipation"

little cultivation. The producing Of
the cane Is the smallest item in the
production of sugar and syrup anC
when one can overcome the only OF
material obstacle there should remain
no reason why an extensive industry
should not be at once built up, which
would add largely to the materia
prosperity of Orlando and surrounding
country.
Mr.. Macy offers to manufacture the
syrup and sugar for One-fifth Of the
net product as against One-half under
the old system, and l assert, without
the fear of contradiction, that the full
toll necessarily required to manufac-
ture with the primitive system could
not be cut and hauled after paying fol
same for less money than hauling the
cane to the factory, to say nothing OF
other material and incidental expenses
involved in mandatory with the ole
method.
The only fear | have is that Mr.
Macy will be forced to charge more
for manufacturing, say one-fourth as
against one-half charged at present
for like work, which would be exceed
ingly cheap to the producer of raw ma
terial 1t now remains to be seen
whether the citizens of Orlando will
disregard this opportunity or whether
they will take hold of it in their old
time way of doing things and push it
for all it is worth and stand by the
man who has the nerve and pluck to
invest his money for the advancement
of the country.
Every city or town must have some
substantial industry behind it in or
der to enable it to hold it's own or eX-
pand. This must be either agricul-
tural, manufacturing or mining unless
located so as to be one of the ports
of the worlds commerce. This ad
vantage Orlando does not posses, but
with united cooperation and the prop
err encouragement given such plucky
and energetic men as Mr. Macy, one
industry after another, though small
in their incipiency, could be built uT
here which would be destined in a
short time to add materially to the
stable prosperity of Orlando and sur
rounding country.
l am a confirmed convert to the doc
trine of expansion, even to the extent
of taking charge of the entire AsiatiC

Catarrh is an American disease. Fully
one-half of the people are afflicted more

to the discovery of Pe-ru-na, catarrh was
considered well-nigh incurable. Since
