VANDERBILT IS DEAD.
Prominent Financier Dies Suddenly y,
His Home - New York.


His Home - New York.
New YORK, Sept 13.-Cornelius
Vanderbilt died yesterday at his home
on Fifth avenue. He returned from
Newport with his wife the previous
evening, apparently in excellent
health and spirits and retired early.
About midnight he was seized with
serious attack and the household was
aroused and several physicians sum
moned. Everything possible was
done, but he grew rapidly worse and
died at 5:15.
Cornelius Vanderbilt was Sc years OF
age, having been born on the eth of
November, 1S43. He was the oldest
son of William H. Vanderbilt, the
oldest son of Commodore Vanderbilt,
who laid the foundation for the Van
derbilt fortune. The deceased was a
man OF unexampled virtue, strict
disciplinarian in family matters, and
withal very philanthropic. He was
president Of the New York Central
and the Lake Shore, and began his
railroad career by working in the
shops and going through every de-
partment just the same as one of the
worlsmen. He was thoroughly acquain-
ted with every detail of the industry,
and while president put in as
many hours of solid work for the COM
pany as any man connected with it.
He was stricken with paralysis two
years ago, and has from that time
seemed to be on the decline so far as
his health was concerned. Mr.. Van
derbilt left five children: Cornelius.
Gertrude, Alfred, Reginald and Gladys
Cornelius was married to the daugh-
ter of r. T. Wilson, banker, two
years ago. Gertrude became the wife
of Harry Payne Whitney son of the
former secretary of the navy, VIM. c

province IL Is to Judge OF the true meaning and
Interpretation Of the Scripture or also con-
trary to the unanimous consent OF the tathers.
The general rule to be followed In tho inter-
probation OF the Scriptures is. therefore,. the
authority OF the Church and the unanimous
consent Of the fathers. II. then. the meaning
Of IA text is defined by the Church. as In the
| case OF the words. This Is My Body" This is
NV Blood. the Interpreter must defend that
meaning. But II the meaning Of the text Is not
defined. he must not give any exposition which
would conflict with any point OF the Church's
teaching. and the same rule holds In regard to
the unanimous teaching OF the fathers in mat
tors OF faith and morals.
The reader who has no knowledge Of our
Catholic commentators may be inclined to
think that the Catholic Scripture student. who
has his way thus marked out for him. has COM
parativcly easy work-that nothing Is left to
private judgment. This. however. is n great
mistake. which may be corrected by a mere
glance at the works Of any OF our great COM
mentators. ancient or modern. Here we find
the greatest freedom Of treatment. The num-
Der Of texts whose meaning Is determined by
the teaching Of the Church or the fathers Is
exceedingly small. II there is a definition of
the Church or a consensus of the fathers on Il
certain text. it Is the duty OF the Catholic com
mentator to establish that meaning. II not.
he is free to follow his own opinion. provided
II be in concert with Catholic teaching. The
Catholic commentator must bring to bear on
his subject all that ancient and modern sci
ence. history. philology. &c. cnn offer for his
aid. Even a superficial glance at the "Cursus
Sacre ScripturH," In course OF publication by
the German Jesuits. will convince the reader
that Catholic Scripture studies are conducted
according to the most scientific methods. This
is a work OF some sixty bulky volumes. OF
which about forty have already been given to
tho public. Father Mass work. entitled
Christ in Type and Prophecy" and his recent
commentary on st. Matthew. which are writ

Il was rather late in making up my mind to

ENGLEWOOD'S VIEW LINKS.
One of the First of the Seasons Eighteen
Hole Courses Ready.

About the first Of tho eighteen hole links
started last season to be pronounced ready for
play Is the extended course OF the Englewood
Golf Club. Although not a long links it affords
many opportunities for first class golf. but on
the long and short game. Only by remark
ably long tee shots can the greens be reached
in two or three strokes and the chance gained
to equal bogie figures. The putting greens
are really models Of perfection. measuring
eighty feet square and with turf running the
ball true every time. granting to the good putter
a grand chance to record low figures. Harry
stark. the Englewood professional, who is re-.
sronsible for the good condition of the links,
asserts that there is not a stroke in the game
that is not ne edcd somewhereo on the round.
The club has now nearly a full membership
and. somewhat 10 the regret Of the founders.
has nearly lost it's character as IA merely local
organization, the membership being metro
politan in representation.

Avenue AS early as O'Clock in the morn
ing his Office was crowded with women
anxious to obtain employment.
Hebron informed each and every one OF
the applicants that the wages would be
$50 per month, but that if they desired to
have their names placed on the role il
would cost them 81 each. The applicants
readily did this and although warned by
Hebron not to apply at the city postofiice
until after three days, many of them pro-
ceeded there Immediately and soon learn
ed that they had been duped
Many of Hebron's victims took the wit
ness stand and testified against him. AS

called by the Government and testified that
he never made any agreement with Hebron
to furnish the Postofice Department with
labor.
