vANDERBILT's DECISION.
Cornelius, Jr., VIII Sever His Connec-
tiOn with the Family, Both So
chilly md in a BusIness Way.

New York, Oct. .2S.-Cornelius Wander.
bilt has resigned his position with the
New York Central Railroad company
and will henceforth have no inter-
course, socially or in business, with the
members of his family. He bitterly re-
sents the implication that he is the
beneficiary of his brothers generosity.
He is equally emphatic in the state
ment that the settlement was forced
by him on the alternative of contest,
and that the $6,OO0,OO0 added to his in
heritance was in no sense a gift, but
simply the price of a noncontested will.
The man who sacrificed so much for the
love of Grace Wilson will go into the
banking business with his wife's ia
ther, X. L. Wilson, and henceforth the
parting of the ways between young
Cornelius and the members of his fam
lily will be more marked than ever.

FORESTS ABLAZE.
Much Damage Results from the
Fires In WestmOreland
County, Pa.

Greensburg, Pa, Oct. 2s.-From
every mountainous section of West
moreland county come reports of the
fierce forest fires spreading. Farmers
are working with might and main in
semicleared districts in the hope of
staying the flames, but seemingly to no
effect. Hewn timber upon which the ma
tives of the ridge have worked all sum-
mer is being destroyed, but the greater
loss is the timber in the tree. Acres
upon acres have already been killed by
the flames. The fire is eating down into
the valleys and many farmhouses are
in imminent danger. The dense banks
of smoke are having a peculiar effect
on the people. Their eyes burn, their
throats are sore, and in the villages
along the foot of the ridge the air is
suffocating.

FAMOUS PEOPLES EYES.

The duke of Wellington had, it is
said, blue hawks eyes cleaning with
military genius.
Audubon, as became a naturalist, had
''hawklike eyes that flashed like a
searchlight and were ever on the alert
for each movement of animated ma
ture."
Charles Lamb is described as having
glittering eyes, strangely dissimilar in
color, one being hazel, the other having
specks of gray in the iris, as you see
red spots in the bloodstone.
According to Trelawney no man had
brighter eyes than Byron; they were
gray and fringed with long black lashes.
Lady Blessington, writing of him few
mhnths before his departure to Greece,
odds that one eye was visibly larger
than the other.
The most striking feature of Burns
was his large dark eye. 1t was, we are
told by one writer, full of mind and
literally glowed when he spoke with
emotion or interest" Sir W. Scott,
who knew the poet when he lived in
Edinburgh, says; II never saw such an
| other eye in human head, and l have
seen the most distinguished men of my
| time"
Eyes, as we know, are apt to vary
considerably in shades of color in the
same individual from time to time-a
fact that explains why Wordsworth's
familiar description of Coleridge as a
noticeable man with large gray eyes
does not quite agree with Carlyle's i'm
preston that his eyes were of light
hazel, nor this again with the writer
who found them light gray, prominent
and of liquid brillliancy, as though the
orb itself retreated to the innermost
recesses of the brain"
Chatterton's brilliant gray eyes were
his most remarkable feature. Under
strong excitement one appeared bright
er, and, as in the case of Byron, larger
than the other. Calcott says: SIT was
like the eye of u hawk, and one could see
his soul through it," Barrett ''never
saw such eyes, fire rolling at the bot
tom of them," and he confesses that hf
often purposely differed in opinion from
Chatterton to see how wonderfully his
eye would strike fire, kindle aud blaze
up.
