cnnNELIus Vanderbilt.

From all accounts Mr.. Vanderbilt work
ed himself TO death. He had acquired the
habit carly in life, and could not break
from it after he had become rich beyond
his early dreams. And what is more, he
was not only industrious, but was very
painstaking. precise, and conscientious.
With the increase in his property-hosd-
ings came increased care. and so 1t was
that the weather. he got the greater
grew his burden.
That he gave a great deal OF money to
religious and charitable objects there can
be no doubt though he was unos;enta-
tious ia his benefactions. Altogether,
he appears 10 have been very good man.
His wealth seems never to have spoiled
him; certainly it never made him POM
pous.
Channcey Depew. who was probably
the most Intimate friend Mr.. Vanderbilt
had, says that deceased had been ex-
pecting death since 1896, when he was first
paralyzed. and that he had prepared HIM
SER for II, spiritually and materially"
We hope So

Miss Alice Knott, of Washington, on
Tuesday met her death through her at
tachment for a vicious parrot, which,
though very fond of its mistress, inva-
riably attacked other persons. The little
green bird. in its investigations Of the
young lady's room, had taken a special
fancy TO the gas-jet, on which 1t fire.
quently roasted. In some way 1t had
learned the trick of pulling out The lava
tip, and with its strong beak it could also
turn the stopcock and let on the gas.
Strange as it may seem, the parrot in
course of time acquired love Tor the
deadly fumes, and would seemingly de-
rive great pleasure from inhaling them
Instead OF making the bird sick the gas
would put it to sleep. But Poll tried the
trick once too often on Tuesday morning,
and by SIS indiscretion killed the only per-
son who cared for ii. AT o'clock in the
afternoon Miss Knott was found dead in
her room. She had been asphyXiated by
her pet; and the bird, too, was almost
suffocated.
The chill Of Monday night had caused
the young lady TO close the small window
Of her room when she retired, and it is
supposed the bird awoke at dawn and be-
gan its mischievous work.
Why a vicious creature Of such noto-
riously dangerous habits as this parrot
possessed should have been allowed 10
enter a sleeplng apartment IS more than
we can understand
