weighing eight pounds arrived at the

Alfred G. Vanderbilt last night. The
mother, who was formerly Miss Elsie
French. and the child are doing well,
A small army OF women have been
sewing on baby clothes at the Wander

youpgster just arrived hss probably
more foe garments at his disposal than
sny other baby 10 the country. Alfred
G. Vanderbilt is worth about $50, 000,.
600. He was appointed official head Of
the family by bis father, Cornelius Van
derbilt. The birth OF the new heir re-.
moves ell doubt as to the future of the
immense residsry Vanderbilt estate
which, 10 the absence Of an heir 10 Al
fred Vanderbilt's family, meant be-
stowal OF the estate upon Reginald

THE STORM.

The eastern portion OF the country
has suffered somewhat from the storm
Of the past forty-eight hours. The
United States Hotel was wrecked and
the iron pier at Long Branch, N. j.,
was broken; Atlantic City's boardwalk
was washed out In places and the
yachtsmen's wharf damaged; the high
est tide seen 10 many years did coDsid-
cradle damage around the river front
Of New York; the steamer Flottbek was
blown ashore on Monmouth Beach, n.
j., aud the tug Haddon pounded to
pieces on the Long Branch pier; the
wind blew 20 miles an hour at Asbury
Park, n. j., uDroofed the Metropolitan
Hotel and damaged many cottages; at
Seabright, N. j., the South Railroad
was washed away for a quarter Of q
mile; the highest tide ever known on
the north shore OF Long Island caused 3
number of minor wrecks and damage to
cottages, hotels and piers; and deep
new inlet from the ocean to Shrews-
bury river was formed near Navesink.
The storm extended from Delaware to
the coasts of Connecticut and Msssa-
chusetts. The damage along the north
ern shore of Long Island Sound is
placed conservatively at $3.50, 900. SO
far as known no material damage was
oocasioned south Of Cape Henry, al.
though a number OF vessels on the
coast and bay had thrilling experiences
with the high wind.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS COMMITTEE OF
Aha constitutional convention has con-

THE BILL OF RIGHTS COMMITTEE Of
the constitutional convention has con-
cluded to report 10 favor OF the
plan of compelling saloonkeepera
to obtain the consent OF their
neighbors before they can conduct
business. The absurdity of this pro-
cedure should be apparent to sll Oh"
servant people and lovers OF the Bill Of
Rights or the Declaration OF Independ-
ence. A large percentage OF the
revenue of the government, State and
city is paid by saloons, and when at
tempts have been made to contract
their number or eliminate them the
number of speakeasies has been multi
piled and the revenues OF the city
decreased. Individuals have the IN
doubted right to entertain any opinion
they prefer concerning the utility OF
the saloon, and those. whose consciences
will not allow them to pstronize such
places are not forced to do 90. Yet it
is o mooted question with many who
are not apologists for intempersnoe
whether or not a minority 10 q free
country should be allowed to abridge
the liberties OF a majority. Besides
the contraction OF the number Of
saloons Is no psnsces for drunkenness
This has been apparent since the world
began. Were there but half q dozen
such places 10 Alexandria, and they on
the confines of the city, people who
wanted liquor would 90 to them
There were supposed to be no saloons
In Alexandra during the latter part Of
the four years war, and those who re-
member those days know that more
drunken people were seen on the
streets than ever before. Virginia will
never make any decided advances 30
long "a her legislatures and con-
yentions heed the contracted ideas OF
people who seem to have no other mis'
sion 10 life than to interfere with others
and to endeavor to bring about state
of sfaIrs which would cause wholesale
emigration II not q suicidal epidemic.
1t was supposed by many when the
convention was called that constitu'
ton would be prepared by which all
hiudrsnces to commerce, common
sense and liberty were to be eliminated,
and 1t lie hoped the action referred to
above is not an idex OF what is to
follow.
