HAS WEALTH AND BRAINS.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, the Most Interesting
Member OF the Family, Visited Kan
sas City Thursday.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, mechanic and millionaire,
the head and by far the most inter
esting member of the Vanderbilt FAM
lily, was in Kansas City for two hours
this afternoon. Through inheritance
Cornelius Vanderbilt is many times
a millionaire, but if he were not he
possesses a brain and an inventive
skill which would bring him a fortune
He is only % years of age, and his
greatest enjoyment outside of his
home is found in a railroad machine
shop working on a locomotive. He
can and has built locomotives unaided,
and he has made substantial improve
ments in them which are in use on
eastern railroads.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is travelling over the
west with a party of Rock Island Off
Gals, and the trip is taken as ground
for the report that the Rock Island
and Vanderbilt roads will make an al
lance, thus forming new transcon-
tinental route.

CZoLGosz' BODY COOKED.
a Mistake Was Made by Scientists and
the Remains Are in Plaster of
Paris Cast.

New York, Nov. 4.-Prof. r. Ogden
DOremus, of the college of the city
of New York, made an explanation
of the way in which the mistake was
made in the burial of Czolgosz, the as
sassin. 1t was intended to fill the
grave with quicklime, so that the
body in. short time would be de-
stroyed. Five barrels of the lime
were emptied into the grave, but
quantity of sulphuric acid, or vitriol,
and large amount of water were al
SO added. The water and quicklime
would, according to Prof Doremus,
produce a heat sufficient literally to
cook the body; then the sulphuric
acid and quicklime would form
harmless plaster of paris. Therefore,
Prof. Doremus says, the body is now
roasted and incased in a plaster of
paris cast, and by no means de-
stroyed as it should have been. Nor
is it likely to be destroyed.

UNDER CIVIL SERVICE.
President Roosevelt VIII Soon issue an I'm
Portant Order Affecting Every Employe
of Rural Free Delivery.

Washington, Nov. 1T has been
practically decided by President
Roosevelt that he will issue an order
shortly placing the rural free de-
livery service of the United States
under civil service rule. He well
comes the opportunity of extending
the service to a bureau of the post
office department already of such
great Importance, and which, if pres
ent plans are carried out, will be one
of the most important, so far as the
volume of business transacted, in the
entire government service. There has
been some talk of creating another
assistant postmaster generals posi-
ton in the post Office department and
placing all free delivery, both rural
and city, and its dependent systems,
under such an assistant to the post
master general. Such action will re-
quire an act of congress, and while it
may be taken up at the next session,
it will have no bearing at this time
upon the extension of civil service
rules to rural free delivery.
