New York, Nov. 14.-George w.
Vanderbilt, probably the least known
of the members of the Vanderbilt fam
lily so far as the general public is con-
cerned, was forty-fve years old today.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has always displayed a
stronger liking for rural life, for art
and for books than for the pleasures Of
so-called society. Some years g he
laid out his magnificent Biltmore es-
state of 100, 900 acres near Asheville,
N. c., and there he has continued to
spend a large portion of his time.
When he comes to New York to look
after his great financial interests he
frequently drops in at the Free Circu-
lating Library on Thirteenth street and
the free Vanderbilt Art Gallery, both
OF which he presented to the city.

Mrs. Annie M. Bradley began their de-
Tense this morning, with but one obsta-
Gle in their way, the reluctance of Mrs.
Bradley to tell anything adverse about
Senator Brown, the man she murdered.
She appeared bright and restful. She
laughingly denied that she attempted
suicide last night by means of a china
plate.
Her attorneys are at loss to overcome
her obstinacy with regard to Senator
Brown.
She seems to yet bear great owe for
the dead man.
Details Of the trial are so s~candalous
as regards the life of Senator Brown
that his son Max is seen to frequently
blush.
| The court room this afternoon is
thronged with many women who eager
ly listen to all the details of the dead
mans sinful past.

MuRPHY'S TEMPERANCE PLEDGE

endeavors became the talk of the
town. The mayor OF Portland
heard of his success and called a
public meeting to influence as
many as possible to take the
pledge. Governor Padelford acted
as chairman, and to the astonish-
ment Of Murphy called upon the
young man to make the first speech.
Il had never uttered word in
public in my life" said Murphy.
II looked around me to see If
there was a place to run. There
wasn't. mumbled for a time, then
pronounced a word occasionally and
finally an entire sentence. Then
strength came. talked easily,
finally and ultimately grew even
dramatic
Over 400 persons took the pledge
that night Murphy made his debut
as an orator He little dreamed at
that time his converts were to run
into the millions. But his fame
dated from that night. He went
from / city to another, his blue
ribbon crusades taking like wild
fire.
Murphy never decried the saloon
keepers or the barkeeps. He
handled them so open-handedly
they often co-operated in reforming
drunkards.
AS soon as he would arrive in a
city to begin his crusade Murphy
would make the rounds of saloons.
If a bartender would be busy he
would wait. Then he would hold
out his hand and say: Hello, Tom,
how are you?"
I'm all right" answers the bar
tender, who are your"
Frank Murphy"
The temperance MANI"
The same"
We'll, I'm glad to see YOU" says
the bartender, perhaps coloring a
trifle. $50 you came down to see
me? Have a taste of something?"
Yes, a little mineral water,
please. Here's health. By the
way, come down tony meeting to-
morrow, will your"
les, tHdHh YOU, MI. Mulp Hy,
will"
Give me your hand that you will.
There! / know you'll be there.
Goodbye. God bless you. Bring
along some of the boys"
1t seems that Murphy, with his
gentleness, his politeness, his
straightforwardness, had mag
netism that particularly appealed
to the class of men for which he
worked. The saloon element liked
Francis Murphy. The barkeepers'
admiration for him was such they
were not ashamed to say they
liked him. He played fair.
