nouncing that q tabulated report at
1880 showed Yeiser's majority was
$50. The outfit looked like the ice
wagon to the average citizen, and many
remarks were made as to the fall of
the once mighty Democrats in Padu-
cab who now have to trot out brass
band on election day before the polls
close to help get out their vote. The
band really did more harm than good,
from reports. Every intelligent man
knew that no one could even estimate
the result at that time, while many
who intended to vote but were very
busy staid at home believing thrt il
the Democrats hadn't won they would
MT have band out, and that as the,
had won there was no use In voting
Ii is said -. be the first time in Padu
cabs history that band had to b.
used to get out votes.

Winter UnderKkirts.

New flannel underskirts are treated
with greater respect than ever before
in the history of this greatly dimin-
ished article. That they must be glove
fitting and very short is the only re-
strictiOn put ON them, and naturally
they take every conceivable advantag sc
of the opportunity.
y skirt of finest white French flannel
has pink silk bowknots embroidered all
over it. Two graduated flounces of lace
are inserted in points, with more silk
bowknots as heading.
Others have pastel tinted silk stripes
woven in with the material, and they
make up into exquisite little affairs.
Another idea is TO make them of
quilted satin or brocade in faint colors
or of white, and add most elaborate
trimming toward the edge of the tiny
skirt.

A WEALTHY WORKER
CORNELIUS BEST LIKED OF ALL THE
VANDERBlLTS.

Why He Is Popular With the General
Public - Modest. Democratic and
High spirited-Renounced For
tune For Ills Wife.
Perhaps the most popular of young
American millionaires is Cornelius Van
derbilt of New York. During the re-
cent illness when his life was despaired
of there We're as much public interest
and sympathy manifested as If he were
high public official instead of sim
pie citizen.
The secret of Ar. Vanderbnt's popu-
larity with the general public. which
hardly knows him except by hearsay,
is his we'll known democracy and indie
pendence of spirit.
Although a millionaire many times
over, Mr.. Vanderbilt is a busy worker
ard has invented several useful appli-
ances for use on railroads. He is at
home in an engine roundhOuse and
knows what fireman's shovel is, hav-
ing used it OH more than one occasion.
Mr.. Vanderbilt first came prominent
~ into the public eye little more than
six years ago when as Il young man of
JWenIy-IHfee he lnaTTleu MISS Gfdce
Wilson in defiance of his fathers COM
mand. BY thus Drawing his fathers
anger to marry the woman of his
choice he forfeited his rights as elder
son and was disinherited. His place
in the public esteem dates from that
episode.
In appearance Mr.. Vanderbilt is quite
ordinary, in manner boyish and DEM
ocratic, but he has many qualities
which distinguish him from the Ordi-
nary young man with unlimited in
come.
Mr.. Vanderbilt looks the typical
American young man. He is about ,
feet 10 or IL inches and well built, with
clean cut features and Il smooth shaved
face that shows strength of purpose in
its lines. The whole line of the face in
profile is straight from the forehead
down to the we'll modelled chin. The
lower lip is, if anything. a trifle heavy.
The head is large and is well set on
broad shoulders.
He is the eldest surviving son of the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt and, al
though his marriage cost him an in
heritaRce OF $45,OOO,OOO. he was not

CoRNELIUs Vanderbilt.

diSheartened by the great loss of wealth
and heritage from that act. Since his
quarrel with his father he has worked
diligently and with good results.
He began by inventing a locomotive
fireboX, which, because it rarely gets
out of repair, keeps down the yearly
expense of every railroad that uses it.
What is now known as the Vanderbilt
type of boiler, an elaboration of his
original invention, saves fuel and econ-
omizes power as well. Recently he in
vented a tank car for carrying oil and
also coal car with Il capacity of over
fifty tons. 4 brake and many other
minor appliances used in railroading
also owe their origin to his fertile brain.
He frequently goes to the Baldwin
Locomotive works in Philadelphia dons
a pair of overalls and puts in a hard
days work beside the mechanics en-
ployed there, emerging from the shop
at night as grimy and greasy as any Of
the three dollar a day men.
Last summer at Newport, when he
was invited to go along on one of the
trial trips of the new torpedo boat
Stringham, he surprised the naval ex-
perts by appearing in overalls and
skullcap and by spending the entire
four hours of the trip in the engine
room hobnobbing with stokers and en-
gineers.
He is not only a director of tie
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company
and trustee of the New York Life In
surance and Trust company, but also
in the Rapid Transit Subway Construc-
ton company.
Although Mr.. Vanderbilt was disin-
herited, he is by no means poor He is
probably worth $1OOOO,OOO, and his
wife is rich in her own right. In soci-
ETY. they are the recognized leaders of
the younger set. When Prince Henry
of Prussia was in New York last win
ter, their home was one of the few in
New York in which the representative
of the kaiser was privately enter
tanned.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's favorite recreations
are automobiling and yachting, but
more than all he enjoys himself when,
clad in overalls. he is tinkering with a
locomotive in the company of machin-
lists and engineers.

subst,t.te For c,ne Rusbes.

A rope rush is the latest development
of the annual interclass contest be-
tween the freshmen and sophomores of
New York university, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. Owing to the faculty's
ban upon the historic cane rush as be
ing too strenuous the students were
obliged to turn to some other form OF
contest to settle the ancient rights and
privileges of the winners. The rope
rush was finally settled upon as being
the proper thing. The rules governing
this new interclass contest call for Il
hundred foot square for the struggle,
and each member of the contending
classes is furnished with Il length of
rope. At Il given signal the classes rush
together. and when the referees whis-
tie blows at the end of thirty minutes
the class that has the greatest number
of its opponents trussed up and filed
neatly away wins.

THE HuMRERT swINDLE.
History of the Remarkable Case In
Paris.

Paris.
The swindling conducted by NJ. and
Mime. Frederic Humbert, who have
just been arrested in Madrid, was re-
garded as the most extraordinary case
of the kind in Paris since the famous
diamond necklace affair of 1855, says
the New York Tribune. NJ. Humbert
was the son of the minister of justice
in the French cabinet in 1882 and was
himself at one time Il member of the
chamber of deputies from the depart
ment OF the Seine. He married Mile.
Therese d'Aurignac i'll Nice in 1878.
She had been the nurse of an American,
Henry Robert Crawford, who had died
and, 1t was alleged, had left her his
enormous fortune. Just as she was
about to enter upon possession of the
fortune, as she alleged, there appeared
two nephews of Mr.. Crawford. who set
up will by which the estate was left
to them and Mile. Marie d'.Aurignac, Il
younger sister of Nine. Humbert, on
condition that an annuity of $4,000
was paid to the latter. The case was
then contested in the courts by vari-
ETY. of proceedings, appeals and miscel-
laneous litigation that dragged on in
teFminably under the French judicial
system. But Mime. Humbert always
had plenty of money, and on the strength
of allegations that the fortune of 500
100000 was locked up i'll her safe,
which she had had sealed by order of
the court, she conducted business enter
prises OF magnitude. She founded n
life Insurance company in which many
workmen were insured, and lived in the
Stxyla in nf a n
streets of Paris. Her picture collection
was a most noteworthy one, and the
sale of the treasures after she fed real
lied a large sum. In all the legal pro-
ceedings no one saw the two alleged
Crawford nephews, and when the eX-
pose came it was concluded that they
were as mythical as the fortune they
were supposed to be seeking.
The business affairs of the Humberts
were conducted on the principle of bor-
rowing from one to pay another, and
the result was that finally a persistent
creditor secured an order for the official
opening of the safe. where securities
supposed to represent S20.0OO,OO0 were
alleged TO be- Then the glistening bub-
bic burst, for no money or article of
value was found in the receptacle aft
er NJ. and Nine. Humbert had fed.
Nothing was in it but some paste dia-
monds, valueless gold mine shares and
newspapers. 1t was found that some
of the choicest of the paintings in the
house had been replaced by copies and
that the country chateau of the Hum
berts had no trace of the money. The
private yacht and other property OF
the Humberts were seized and sold.
1t was found that the Humberts had
negotiated loans with many of the
leading bankers of Paris amounting to
S10,00O,0OO and had also induced many
persons to invest in their insurance
company. They had entertained law
ishIy and moved in the most fashiona-
bic circles.

Red is a lot used and is awfully chic
