SIGNED BY VANDERBILT.
How Cornelius Of that IIk was made to
Appear News Correspondent.

Cornelius Vanderbilt is not man
who takes himself too seriously, and
he can enjoy joke when it is ON him
as well as when 1t is on some one else.
This was proved by his experience at
the Republican State Convention in
Saratoga in 1900. He attended that
convention as a delegate from one of
the Manhattan districts. The city
editor of one of the yellow newspapers
across the river wanted to get him to
tell his impressions of the convention,
so the editor telegraphed to the re-
porter who was covering the conven-
ton to ask Vanderbilt to write signed
article telling what he thought of the
way business was done in q political
body.
The reporter knew that Mr. Wander
bilt would not do anything of the kind
So, according to the story that is told
i will not vOuch for it's truth-the re-
porter wrote colorless article describ-
ing the crowds and the enthusiasm and
SO forth, signed Vanderbilt's name to
1t and sent it to his paper. 1t was
printed in large type on the first page.
and when the papers arrived in Sara
tOga the reporter kept out of sight un-
til he happened to see Vanderbilt with
the paper reading the article and
laughing heartily at it,
AS the experiment had succeeded the
first day another article was tele-
grapbed with Vanderbilt's name at
tached and this was printed. Wander
bilt read it and was again amused. But
this time word came to the reporter
that he was doing very clever work
and it was appreciated by his victim,
yet the victim would like to know, just
for curiosity, how long it was to be
kept up. Probably now that he is a
member of the Civil Service Commis
sion, he will not be so tolerant when
his name Is taken in vain.
