Dangerous limitations.

1t Is not of very great use but the
editors of the country are mOralizing
upon young Berkley's death who was
drowned while attempting to obey the
orders Of a fellow named Dickinson
who was putting him through the
first horse play Of an initiation into
Kappa Alpha fraternity. Berkeley had
been told that his admission into the
fraternity depended on the fidelity
with which he Obeyed DickinsCns
orders, and when the latter handed
him a note and told him to pin IL on
to bridge in the distance, Berkeley
took 1t and when he found that a
canal interrupted his progress to-
wards the bridge, he plunged in and
was drowned. The vicious part of
the fraternity limitations is that the
novice is instructed to obey without
questioning and that no real harm
will be done him Ordinarily Berkeley,
not Knowing how to swim, would
scarcely have walked into water he
did not know the depth Of, but having
been ordered to pm the note on the
railroad bridge and there being no
bridge over the canal he doubtless be.
lieved that II the water were over his
head the 'nitiatOr would not have dis
patched him to a point beyond the
canal. lie had faith greater than
Saint Peters but it was misplaced and
he was drowned. This Is the second
violent death occurring IN the severe
preliminaries of an initiation into the
Kappa Alpha fraternity in tie Cornell
chapter. A few years ago a Kappa
Alp:a initiate was pushed of prec.
ipice in Ithaca. He struck his head
against rock and he died within a
few minutes. The correspondent Of
the Sun says the Kappa Alpha men
expect to see the fraternity expelled
by the authorities Of Cornell univer-
sity.
The father Of Young Berkeley, not
having been taught the strength and

ing at all about the fidelity paid them,
has gone to Cornell shaking his gray
bereavcd head and exclaiming that
his son was murdered and that SO long
rs God gives him breath he will not
cease his Efforts to bring his murderer
to justice. But he is only an inlet

cannot be expected to understand
the brilliant wit and ingenious de-
vices for enjoying life that distinguish
the Kappa Alpha's of Cornell.

The Vanderbilt Millions.
It is frequently stated for the bene-
fit of socialists who are clamoring for
redistribution that the sons, and If
not the sons, the grandsons of mil
.iOnaires waste the money made and
boarded by the founder of the family's
fortunes. But neither the Astor nor
the Vanderbilt fortune has been dis.
sipated in four generations. The
original sum held by the heirs Of

passes away the legacies to minor
heirs make large draft upon the
still increasing nucleus.

other children comparatively modest

by two of his daughters and a settle.
ment was effected whereby a much
larger sum was settled upon all the
younger sons and daughters.
William II. Vanderbilt multiplied
more than three times the sum his
father left, and he left the most of
his savings to Cornelius II. who has
just died. He was devoted to business
and man Of large but transformations
charities His will left legacies to
all the old servants and clerks. In.
stead Of leaving the bulk of his for.
tune to his eldest SON Cornelius who
had d;sp'eased him in the selection Of a
wife Cornelius II. left it to his young
est son Albert. He gave to his son
Reginald and to his daughters
Gertrude and Gladys S7,5OOOO each;
to Cornelius the hayward and Oldest
son, he gave 81 500, 900, and to Alfred
the second son, the residue of the
estate, amounting To some $50, 100000.
When the father died. Alfred, WHO'S
now the chief legatee under the will
and designated by the father as the
head OF the family. was in Japan.
The will was not admitted to probate
until his return few days ago. Be.
fore the will was offered for probate
another Vanderbilt will contest was
avoided by Alfred voluntarily giving
to his brother Cornelius the sum Of
$4,000. 900 to make him equal with the
other less favored members OF the
family.
