1T was advice that the commodore

Indeed, the Vanderbilt family, up to
and including the third generation,
never bought real estate for invest
ment." And the senator might have
added that today this Vanderbilt rule
is being strikingly broken in New
York by Alfred. of the fourth genera
ton. who is investing several millions
of dollars in hotel enterprise.

Future Statesman Was Dumped In the

In his old age, say from 1870 to his
death in 1882. Thurlow Weed, the
most skilful Wing politician of his
day. who made William II. Seward
governor of New York and United
States senator, who named Zachary
Taylor for the presidency and Willard
Fillmore for the vice-presidency, and
who. at the birth of and during the
nrst years OF the Republican party,
was a national power, was one of the
most delightful story tellers to be

OF anecdotes, many of them being Wv

Commodore's Advice Was Against the
Investment of Money in Real
Estate Because Sale May
Be Slack.

After Commodore Vanderbilt had
become very prominent as a railroad
organizer and a tinancier. he, OF
course, was constantly sought after
for advice and counsel respecting in
vestments by those who felt on suffi-
cent terms of friendship with him."
said Senator Chauncey M. Depew.
whose business connections with the
vanderbilt interests date back to the
days OF the commodore. But, no mat
ter how strongly he was importuned,
the commodore never gave any spe-
chic advice as to the investment OF
sums OF money. He was never willing
to take that responsibility | think
he felt that If he recommended GER
tain investments and they turned out
badly he would be criticized. Further
more, he made it an inflexible rule not
even by so much as hint to advise
any one to buy securities of the rail-
road properties which he controlled.

influence any of his friends in
such manner as would lead them to

stocks or bonds. If they chose to do
that of their own free will and accord
In the open market and without any
urging on his part. that was another
matter.
Some of the appeals that were
made to the commodore for financial
counsel were comical and greatly
amused him. 1t was in reply to one
such appeal that he made the cpl
grammatic answer which has passed
into tradition: The first thousand dol
lars is the hardest to get And it was
another appeal which brought from
him the terse statement that II is
easier to make fortune than it is to
keep one after it has been made.
There was one persistent friend,
and a good one, too, who was con-
stantly asking the commodore for gen
eral advice respecting the investment
of money. Even that the commodore
did not like much to give; but at last
he said to the tempter: I will give
you the best advice that / can If you
will call upon me in the course of a
day or two, and | hope you will heed
