CORNELIUS VANDERBILT.

The death of Cornelius Vanderbilt
recalls, to those who were familiar
with the history of the Vanderbilt
family, the powerful influence of a
good mother in shaping the fortunes
OF her children.
The old Commodore" Vanderbilt
was an "uneducated'' man, as the word
is commonly used, but he had the gift
of the organizing power. Wall street
called him a pessimst because he re-
fused to commit mis- fortunes to the
many thousands of men who were dis
gusted because he would not let them
have his capital and make money for
him. He took very gloomy views Of
the capacity of the average man to
make a fortune. His six daughters
and two sons married, and his grand
children were numerous. AS nearly
all of them, both children and grand
.1ingness to camp down on him. as
he expressed it, and spend his money
for him, he did not remain on friendly
terms with them, and was unwilling
in the business connected with his
great enterprises. His Oldest son, Will
liam H., led a picturesque life for
many years, but he had married a
woman of uncommon good sense, while
her patience was infinite. When the
old Commodore finally consented to
make William H. an employee in the
Office of the New York Central Rail-
road, his wife quietly and firmly de-
termined to keep her husband up to
his best work, whatever it was. The
son found his father to be an imper-
ious, profane and irritating master.
Conscious of his own power, the Com
modore judged other men, including
high and unreasonable standard. For
years the wife steadily and patiently
kept her husband to his work, although
he was at times discourage When
her sons Cornelius, now dead, and Will
liam K. were able to work, she i'm
pressed upon them the necessity Of ask
ing no favors from their grandfather,
beyond that of having a chance to
show in a humble way, what they
could do. They We're employed at first
in work that involved no serious re-
sponsibility, and their advancement
was SO slow that they at times felt
discouraged. But the wife and mother
played for high stakes. She realized
the enormous value of the commodore's
estate, and she knew that he would
in time die and would not leave it to
charitable institutions, in the manage
ment of which he had no confidence.
than cultivate any intimacy with their
grandfather, and took unusual pains +
make them to avoid making preten-
sions.
AS the Commodore advanced in age,
he saw the rifle pits of the death angels
before him, and began to make ar
rangements for the best disposition,
from a business standpoint, of his great
fortune. He was convinced, after
some years, of close observation, that
William H. and his boys were really
.adustriouS men, and he gradually
took them into his confidence. Before
his death, he adopted a simple plan for
the distribution of his estate. He left
a quarter of a million of dollars to
each of his six daughters, but with the
firm belief that it would be quickly
spent, or badly invested. This sum
was increased to one million for each

TROUBLE AT SHELLPOT PARK.

Disorderly Crowd held Guards Prisoners
Within the Groands--C Chased nv Officers.
The guards at Shellpot Park found
themselves in a ticklish position on
Saturday night, on account of re-
vengeful spirit display ed by crowd OF
young men. According to some ac-
counts, a man who was taking short
cut through the park to get to his resi-
dence, and man who was trying to
enter the park by climbing over the
fence that separates Malin's Grove
from Shellpot Park, were handled
roughly by park guards. The friends
of the second man gathered in a large
crowd at the park gates and dared the
guards to come out into the road,
which the guards, having no authority
outside of the park, wisely did not do.
The crowd is also said TO have bonn
barded the dancing pavilion.
While the crowd hovered at the gate
and kept the guards prisoners inside,
word was sent to the police station for
assistance. and it was not long before
u car arrived with Superintendent Har-
vey b. Vandegrift and several police
officers aboard. just before tho car
reached the park, the crowd at the
gate had been warned by a wheelman
OF its approach. and quickly scattered.
Then followed vigorous pursuit
through Maliu's Grove and up the
turnpike. The car carried officers up
the road and two parties were sent out
in an attempt to corral the members of
the disorderly crowd, but without sue
cess. Persons who live in the neigh
borhood say that shots were fired.
Each side of tho controversy asserts
that the other had gums
In anticipation of more trouble, Ser
geant Black and two officers were sent
to Shellrot Sunday night, but there
was no trouble
The disturbance may be traced to tho
difference between the park manage
ment and Thomas E. Malin, proprietor
of Malin's Grove. The two resorts
were formerly connected by bridge
and picnickers could visit either at
will. The railway people. after failing
to make deal with Malin to take over
his grove, removed the bridge and put
up wire fence between the two prop
critics. Visitors to either place crawled
through the fence Now, for part of
the distance picket fence stands in
the way of allowing visitors to go direct
from one park to the other.

FAVOR THE ORIGINAL SITE.
Advantages offered by the Location first
Proposed for the Water Tower.

IrOpOssu 1Or the water IOWer.
Notwithstanding the refusal of City
Council to favor an indemnifying agree
ment with the du Points in connection
with the proposed erection of water
tower near the Park driveway, in upper
Brandywlne Park, members of the Park
Commission are still satisfied that the
site originally selected is tho one that
offers the most attraction. 1t is to be
remembered that the interests of the
Water Commission and of the Park
Commission in the proposed tower are
in measure separate. The Water De-
partmeut is interested on the basis of
utility, q water tower being needed to
give the Highlands an ample water
supply; SO that it does not much
matter to the Water Commission where
it is located, SO long as it is high
enough to carry out the purpose in
tended.
The Park Commission, OIL the other
hand, is Interested in the aesthetic
nature of the tower, for tho observatory
to be at tho top Of the tower will
appeal to the artistic sense. Not only
will the exterior of the structure be Of
q rugged character befitting its location
near the Brandywine's rocky shores,
but its top will afford view of land
and water for miles and miles. So it
is shat tho Park Commission is con-
cerned that the location shall be of the
best
The condition imposed by the
dn Points, when they gave the land for
park purposes, was that so long as they
have their lower yard in use, no build
ing for amusement purposes should be
erected within 300 feet of certain
line. A water tower without an OBJ
servatory would not be affected by that
condition. but tho Park Commission
desires to combine the artistic with the
practical and have an observatory. The
site first selected is within the land
over which the restriction applies, and
the building, with an observatory,
cannot be erected there, without the
consent of the du Points. AS recently
reported, theyrequire to be Unidentified
for any damage that may arise in that
district by reason OF of'explosions at their
mills, and this condition Council has
| refused to accept.
The view from that site is held by
Park Engineer Leisen to be better than
from the site discussed yesterday by
Engineer Bond of the Water Depart
ment. From the first site, good view
may be obtained fup the Brandywine
valley; from the second site, such a
view cannot be obtained because of the
obstruction by trees. Then, too, the
second site is in the middle of the large
field which has been intended for base
ball, football and other sports and is
the only pieceo ground available in
the whole park system for such pur-
pose. Mr.. Leisen sees no practical
benefit to the Water Department in the
| second site.

DOWN AT REHOBOTH BEACH.
Tent Performance Prohibited - Telephone
serviae-PersounI Notes.

Rehoboth, July II. The perform
ance announced to be given in a tent
on Rehoboth avenue last Thursday
evening by vaudeville company did
not take place, the town commissioners
having prohibited it. To evade the
commissioners, the company has had
the tent removed just beyond the town
limits. Tho commissioners, who are
loath to establish precedents, would
not permit this performance because
they thought it might pave the way
for performances of an injurious char
acter.
The commissioners have adopted the
Rchoboth Beacon as their official organ.
Many businesshouses and cottages
have been connected by telephone,
among them being the Hotel HeniopeI,
tho office of the Rehohoth Beacon, the
Casino. the Pavilion, Rowen's and
Dicks stores and the cottages of the
Rov. Vaughn s. Collins, Dallas Marvil,
w. II. Walker and Harry Richardson.
Poles will soon be put on Surf avenue,
after which the Douglass House will
have telephone service.
1t has been suggested that the cot
tagers name their cottages, and 1t is
hoped the suggestion will be adopted.
The excursion given to Rehoboth on
Thursday by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Co. was largely attended.
Sailing, driving and bowling parties
are popular, and are given daily.
A floating raft has been put 10 front
of the Casino, and bathers delight in
swimming to it.
The hop given at the Hotel Henlopen
last Wednesday evening was the most
enjoyable one Of the season. Prof. A.

Howard Webster, sFrank Wilson and
Mr.. Filbert furnished the music. Hops
will be given on Wednesday and Satur-
