the residuary estate of millions upon mil
lions, is to be held in trust for him until
he reaches the age of 80, when he will
come into full possession Of one-half. The
residue will be held until he is 80.
While Alfred Vanderbilt has given
away S6,O0O,OOO, he remains infinitely
richer than his brothers and sisters COM
bined. According to more liberal reports,
which estimate the estate at not less
than $14O,OO0,00O he is at the outset of
his career possessed of S1OO,O00,OOO, or
far more than either his father or his
grandfather-each favored children
received.
Brotherly Consideration.
1t was the greatest gift ever made in
money by one brother to another" said
Senator Depew, in speaking of Alfred's
gift to Cornelius; but he added, ''few
brothers have ever had it in their power
to do what Alfred has done. When AL
fred Vanderbilt returned he decided
from brotherly affection and for family
harmony to take out of his own inherit
ance and give to his brother Cornelius
g sum sufficient to make the fortune of
cornelius the. same as that of his
brothers and sisters. This has been ac-
cepted by Cornelius in the same spirit"
Inc will makes no mention of the mar
rage OF Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., to
MISS wilson, nor to any quarrel between
rather and son because of the union.
Followed Family Custom.
The late Cornelius Vanderbilt followed
the example of Commodore Cornelius
vanderbilt and of w. I'll. Vanderbilt in
leaving the bulk of his fortune to one
son while making abundant provision for
his other children. He made a few lib
eral bequests to friends. gave substantial
rewards to faithful servants, and left
large sums to some public institutions,
though in death perhaps he showed less
generosity than he did while living
While adding to his enormous fortune
every. year, he contributed to every wor-
thy charity, private and public. He was
never deaf to an appeal.
lie gave away at least one-half of his
income every year." remarked Senator
Depew, "and do not believe that he had
received less than 100000 a year for
many years"
The Executors.
The executors named to handle the
great fortune are Mrs. Alice G. Wander
bilt, the widow: Alfred G.. Vanderbilt,
William Is. Vanderbilt. Chauncey M.
Depew and Edward v W Rossiter. Reg
inald G. Vanderbilt may qualify as exec
utor as soon as he comes of age.
