4,02l HUNTERS LICENSES
Increase of 200 Over Corresponding
Period Last Year

Exactly 4,021 hunters licenses were
issued at the Dauphin county treasury
up until noon to-day, something like
700 more than were issued up until
the same date one year ago. Records
show that the rush for these license
tags is greater than last year by nine
days. In other words the number of
licenses issued thus far this year equal
the amount handed out during the
period ending October 30, 1913, and
if the rush for licenses continues in
the future as it did in the past, last
year S records will be broken.

GEORGE w. VANDERBILT
DIES AT WASHINGTON
Member of Wealthy New York Family
Stricken With Appendicitis
Some Time Ago.

Washington, March George w.
Vanderbilt of New York died here Fri
day from the effects of an operation
for appendicitis performed several
days ago. He was the youngest son
of w. III. Vanderbilt.
DR.. James Mitchell, the attending
physician, stated that Mr.. Vanderbilt
died from a pulmonary embolus. a
blood clot in the lungs. He explained
that the operation for appendicitis
had been successful, but the blood
clot was directly responsible for his
death.
George Washington Vanderbilt was
born at New Dorp, S. L., N. Y, on No
vember IA, 1862. He was a son of
William Henry Vanderbilt and a
grandson of "the commodore" His
early life was spent like that Of his
brothers and like that of other sons of
wealthy families. He was educated
by private tutors and at the best pri-
vate schools, and he travelled and
studied great deal abroad.
In 1898 Mr.. Vanderbilt married
Edith StuyvCSant Dresser, the witty
and talented daughter of Captain G..
w. Dresser, U. S. A. This marriage
was "deplored" by many matrons OF
the smart set" in New York and
Newport on the ground that the bride
was mot artistocratic enough" Mr..
Vanderbilt, however. pleased himself
and his wife won reputation as
one of the cleverest of hostesses III
America
The Vanderbilts had three homes.
One was at 40 Fifth avenue, New
York city, another in Bar Harbor, Me-,
and the third-the real home-at Bilt-
moro, the hundred thousand acre es-
tate in the mountains of North Caro-
lima.
