A WOMAN KEPT A HOTEL.

tion Of Vanderbilt Fortune.

A woman played a large part in
laying the foundation OF the fortunes
of the house of Vanderbilt. The first
Cornelius Vanderbilt married at the
age OF twenty. and a year later be-
came captain of small steamboat
plying between New York and New
Brunswick. N. J. Passengers we're
numerous and many persons went to
New Brunswick and back by boat for
the pleasure of the trip. Others
when the boat reached New Bruns-
wick. got into stages and we're driven
across the state to another steamer.
which took them down the Delaware.
OF course. they wanted something to
eat. and here Mrs. Vanderbilt saw
her opportunity. New Brunswick's
hotel. or halfway house. was dirty
and ill-kept. Mrs. Vanderbilt suggest
ed to her husband that they should
take the hotel refit 1t. and run II in
style that would attract guests. Van
derbilt leased the hotel; but as the
scheme was his wife's, he told her
she might run it and have the profits.
Mrs. Vanderbilt overhauled the house
and named it Bellona Hall, after the
steamship Bellona. which her husband
then commanded. The fame of Bel
Iona Hall soon spread to New York.
and parties were made up to visit It,
because OF the excellent fare to be
found there. IL also increased the
profits OF the line for which Capt. Van
derbilt worked. and his salary was
increased to $4,000 a year. Mrs. Van
derbilt for twelve years managed Bel
Iona Hall. with profit to herself and
pleasure to her guests. Her husband
during these years had been studying
steamships and the chances for profit
in traffic on the Hudson and along the
Sound. His means were limited, but
he had valuable ideas gained from
practical experience as a steamboat
captain. and he felt sure that, If he
could get the right opening. he need
not fear the greater wealth of his
rivals. He never had questioned his
wife's management of the hotel, but
he knew she had saved some money -
