while Talking with President
Gtmtt.
New York, December 8, 1SS5.
William H. Vanderbilt was strick
en with apoplexy a few minutes af
ter 2 o'clock this afternoon and died
almost instantly. He was in the li
brary of his residence, on Fifth ave
nue, at the time, and was sitting in
his easr chair and conversing with
Mr. Robert Garrett, president of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and
up to the very moment of the attack
was apparently in Lis usual health
and spirits. Xot a hint or a mo
ment's warning did either he or his
family have that his health was in
so precarious a condition. He was
stretched dead on the floor at his
guest's feet almost as suddenly as
thouch his brain had been pierced
by a rifle bullet. Since 1SS1, when
he suffered a shock of tmralysis, not
long after the sale of 2G0.000 shares
of New York Central, his health had
been a matter of cowtact solicitude
with his family, but for several
months recently be had been better
and brighter. He frequently spoke
of the improvement himself and
was often congratulated upon his
hearty appearance. He clung tena
ciously to life, and often said of late
that by the time he was sixty-live
he would be rejuvenated and set out
on another long life. He was sixty
four when he died.
The announcement of the sudden
death of William II. Vanderbilt
was received with a shock through
out the whole country. Almost the
first thought was, what will be the
fOect on the stock market? Tele
grams say there was a flurry, but it
was only momentary, and the mar
ket soon regained its normal tone.
The dr&ih of Lis father, Cornelius
Vanderbilt, had no material effect on
Wall street prices, and the fact that
William H. had not for the past two
years taken a speculative interest in
the market, helped to lessen the ef
fect of the shock caused by his sud
den taking off.
Vanderbilt's last day on earth was
one of the pleasantest end quietest
of his life. I'p to the moment of his
death it was wholly given up to
those domestic pleasures of which
he was eepecially fond. He rose
early, as was his custom. It is said
that when, in his younper days, he
worked on his Staten Island farm,
he made it a practice to rise with the
eun, and he used to say in later life
that he had often arisen at 4 o'clock
to goto New York and return to bis
breakfast and his plow at 7. Of
late years he made it a practice to
leave his bed at 7, or not much la
ter, and throughout his increasing
ill health of the last two winters he
bad adhered to this practice. After
arising yesterday he had held his
usual morning conference with his
sons, Cornelius and William K. who
were the active managers of bis rail
road projerties, and afterward with
Mr. F. V. Roseiter, his private secre
tary and treasurer of the New York
Central Railroad, to whom he en
trusted a large share of the manage
ment of his private business affairs.
At II o'clock he went down to the
study tf j. Q A. Ward, the sculpt
or, in Fifty-second street, to sit for a
I'ronze bust tu himself, which the
Trustees of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons wished to place in the
vestibule of the college, for the erec
tion of which he recently gave f 500,
OtX). He returned and took lunch
at 12:1)0 with his wife, his son
George, and Mr. Twombly. At the
table he was noticeably bright and
cheerful.
At 1 o'clock Mr. Robert Garrett,
President of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, called at the Vanderbilt
mansion. Mr. Vanderbilt greeted
him cordially, and they were soon j
engaged in an animated conversa- i
tion about railroad matters. Mr.
Garrett finally reverted to the scenes
ol his childhood and early work.j
contrasting them with the achieve
ments of his older years. He was
sitting in his favorite arm chair and
the two millionaires were alone to-!
gether. All at once Mr. Garrett no
ticed a slight indistinctness in Mr.
Vanderbilt's speech, that grew into
an inarticulate sound. Ashe leaned
over to catch his words Mr. Vander
bilt pitched forward without a word
of warning and fell heavily on the
floor on his face. Mr. Garrett sprang
to his feet with an exclamation of
alarm, and seizing a pillow from the
sofa hid it under his friend's head,
then summoned Mrs. Vanderbilt,
and George, the youngest son. Mes
sengers were sent in haste for physi
cians. One from the neiehborhood
responded firsL and was followed al
most im mediately by the family doc
tor, ut. James . McLean. Restor
atives bad been hurriedly applied,
but human aid was in vain. Mr.
anderbilt never spoke or moved
after he fell under the sudden 6troke
and died within a few minutes with
out a struggle. To all intents and
purposes he was dead the instanl he
fell forward upon the fl'or. It was
1.M o'cloak when Dr. McLean led
the stricken widow from the room,
Dr. McLean pronounced bis death
the result of a sudden stroke of par
jilysis, due to the bursting of a larce
Hood-vessel at the base of the brain
of the kind that are absolutely fatal
at tne moment. He stated that Mr.
Vanderbilt's death was ss painless
as it was sudden. The doctor knew
his patient most intimatelv, and
promptly certified to the cause of
death to coroner's inquest.
Mr. anderbilt. while he had for
two years past been a victim, more
or iess,oi indigestion, with its atten
dant ills and kindred disorders, had
lately, despite the frequent reports
oi uis aeain, Deen apparently mend
ing. There had been an improve
ment in the general tone of his
health that was particularly notices
we yesterdav. On Aloud at nirrht
he attended the performance in the
Metropolitan Opera House, and
nothing was apparently further from
Lis mind than sudden death.
Like most people Mr. Vanderbilt
Lrd bis own little nrivate sunerKti-
tig, and one of them was that if he
?it passed the age of eixtv-five,
wnich for some reason in the family
Lirtorr, he looked upon as the criti
cal age, he would be good tor twenty
years more. In a conversation with
a near friend, more than three weeks
ago, he stated this as bis belief, and
be rejoiced in tha knowledge that
the turning point was nearly reach
ed. Had Mr. Vanderbilt lived to
May, next year, he would have been
eixty-five years cf ape. He wis
born at the Staten Island homestead
on that date in 1821. The nearness
of the time which he himself con
eidered critical gave him no concern,
Jiowevrr. He did not expect, but
neither did be fear death. It came
to him, if very swiftly, very eently.
He did not know it when it seized
him.
By arrangement of nearest friends
with members of the family it was
decided that the funeral ehould b
-n "day next, at 10 o'clock, from'
! sl Bartholomew's Church, at Madi-
I eon avenue and Forty fourth streets
of which Rev. Dr. Cook is pastor.
Mr. Vanderbilt was a vestryman in
the rhurch. to the construction of
which he bad contributed largely.
The sexton of the church was charg
ed with the funeral arrangements.
At Mr. Vanderbilt's own desire he
will be interred in the family mau
soleum at New Dorp, which has just
been completed. It was one of the
last acta of his life to turn over by
deed for tl all the old property of
the family on Staten Island ' to his
son George, to do with as be desires,
and for this purpose father and 6on
went over the land together last Sat
urday, incidentally inspecting also
the just completed mausoleum.
Cornelius and William K.are both
actively engaged in the management
of the family railroad interests, and
will so continue. Cornelius is the
Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the New York Central and the
Michigan Central, aud William K.
holds the 6ame office in the Lake
Shore and Nickel Plate systems.
Frederick, who is about thirty-two
years old, is a director in alt the
roads.
Mr. Vanderbilt was, it is thought,
richer than any single member of
the Rothschild family. The Duke
of Westminster is 6aid to be worth
$200,000,000, but Mr. Vanderbilt was
richer, because the Duke's money
only pays him about 5 per cent., be
ing mainly in lands and houses.
Mr. Vanderbilt had a much larger
income. Last year he held $51,
000,000 of 4 per cent bonds, and
later he reduced this amount to 835,
000,000. His government bonds
were worth almost ?75,0 KX000. At
one time he owned 240,010 shares of
Michigan Central. 300,000 shares of
Norib western, aud 2UO.O0O shares of
Lake Shore. He is said to bavesold
considerable Lake Shore lately mak
ing in all about 800,000 shares of
railroad stock; also $22,000,000
worth of railroad bonds, $3,200,000
of State and city bonds, and 82,000,
0(H) in various manufacturing stocks
and mortgages. He valued his
Fifth-avenue residence at 83.000,000.
His ordinary household expenses
were 200.000 a year. In 1SS4 he
gave a ball that cost 40,0U0. lie
loved horses and was a good judge
of horse flesh. He sold Maud S. lor
840,XW. Although his fortune
shrank materially through a decline
in stock and through business de
pression, the bull movement of the
pant few months brought it up again.
His income was calculated as fol
lows: 82,372,000 a year from Gov
ernment bonds, 7,394,000 from rail
road stocks, 8070,095 from miscella
neous securities; total, over 810,000,
a year, or 82S.OOO a day, 81,200 an
hour, or 819 75 a minute. He made
no ostentatious display of his wealth
and was charitable, although in this
he had to be quiet or he would have
been overrun by impostors. He was
shrewder in busiuess than many
supposed he was; he knew enough
to sell 250,000 shares of New York
Central five years ago at 120 and
buy Governments at par.
Mr. Vanderbilt had made a will.
What its provisions are is not known
to any one outside of the family and
his confidential counsel and friend,
Mr. Depew. But the Vanderbilts
were a very united funily. Mr.
Depew ventured to predict that Mr.
Vanderbilt's railroad properties
would be managed as heretofore.
Social Etiquette).
The difference of national inter
pretations of etiquette are comically
illustrated in a little story told by a
lady in Washington society. A Jap
anese gentleman called on her one
day just before luncheon. As it was
a first and, presumably, ceremoni
ous call, she naturally expected it
would be brief. To her surprise he
accepted her invitation to lunch, and
that domestic rite over, he still stay
ed. The hours wore on and he did
not go. The lady was wearied be
yond endurance. Dinner time came.
The lady's husband returned and
still the gentleman from Japan
stayed on. He was, as a matter of
necessity, invited to dinner.
Finally the gentleman of the house
relieved his wife for a time in enter
taining this apparently stationary
visitor, but, as the evening wore on,
he became so tired and sleepy that
he retired to his own apartment and
the hostess again screwed her cour
age to the sticking point and resum
ed the entertainment of the guest
At last, about midnight, the Japa
nese, with the most elaborate and
abject apologies to the lady for leav
ing her, took his departure. But
the comedy reached its denoue
ment the next day when a friend, in
whom the extraordinary guet-t had
confided, told the hostess that he
6aid be never had such an ordeal be
fore in his lite ; that he was so tired
and he thought the lady would nev
er let him go aud finally he was
obliged to leave her without her per
mission. Then the bosts learned
that in Japanese etiquette the lady
receiving a gentleman gives him the
signal for his departure, and it is
very rude, in their code, to leave
her till she does this.

the circumstances, "Charley wanted
me to take the big chair and I want

"Well what did you quarrel about

"We didn't quarrel mamma: onlv

Li ncol a aa a Congressman,
Elihu B. Washburn, our late Min
ister to France, in an article entitled
"Abraham Lincoln in Illinois," pub
lished in the Xorth American Iiecieic
of October, thus speaks of the mar
tyred President at the period of his
election to Congress :
"Mr. Lincoln took his 6eat in Con
gress on the first Monday in Decem
ber, 1847. He eat in the
old ball of the House of Representa
tives, and for the long session was
so unfortunate as to draw one of the
most undesirable seats in the hall.
He participated but little in the ac
tive business of the House, and
made the personal acquaintance of
but few members. He was attentive
and conscientions in the discharge
of his duties, and followed the course
of legislation closely. hen he
took his eat in the House, the cani-j
paign of 1840 for President was just
opening. j
"I was again in Washington part
of the winter of 1849 (after the elec
tion of General Taylor), and saw
much of Mr. Lincoln. A 'small;
number of mutual friends includ
ing Mr. Lincoln made up a party
to attend the inauguration ball to
gether. It was by far the most bril
liant inauguration ball ever given
Of course Mr. Lincoln had never
seen anything of the kind before.
One of the most modest and unpre
tending person present, he could net
have dreamed that like honors were
tr come to hin almost within a lit
tle more than a decade. He was
greatly interested in all that was to
be seen, and we did not take our de
parture until 3 or 4 o'clock in the
morning. vVhen wo went to the
cloak and hat room, Mr. Lincoln had
no trouble in finding his 6hort cloak,
which little more than covered his
shoulders, but after a long search
was unable to find his hat After an
hour he gave up all idea of finding
it Taking his cloak on Lis arm he
walked out into Judiciary Square,
deliberately adjusting it on his
shoulders, and started off barehead
ed for his lodnincs. It would be
hard to forget the sight of that tall.
slim man, with his short cloak
thrown over his shoulders, without
a hat on, starting for his long walk
home on Capital Hill at 4 o'clock in
the morning. And this incident is
akin to the one related to me by the
librarian of the Supreme Court of the
United States. Mr. Lincoln came to
the library one day for the purpose
of procuring some law books which
he wanted to take to his room for
examination. Getting together all
that he wanted, he placed them in a
pile on a table. Taking a large ban
dana handkerchief from bis pocket
he tied them up; and putting a
stick, which he had brought with
him, through a knot he had made
in the nanukerchiel, and adjusting
the package of books to his stick, he
shouldered it, and marched oil from
the library to his room. In a few
days he returned the books the same
way.
My boy (three years old) was re
cently taken with cold in the head,
which seemed finally to settle in his
nose, which was stopped up for days
and nights so that it was difficult
for him to breathe and sleep. I
called a physician who prescribed,
but did him no good. Finally I
went to the drug store and got a bot
tle of Ely's Cream Balm. It seemed
to work like magic. The boy's nose
was clear in two days, and he bus
been o. k. ever since. E. J. Hazzard,

John Adams' Wife Abigail.
Mrs. Adams, by the way, Abigail
Smith, was the daughter of a Pres
byterian clergyman, who had a poor
opinion of the morals of the legal
profession and objected to John lie
cause he had been intended for the
ministry and wilfully turned aside
to law. His pretensions were not fa
vored. He was not even invited to
the family table when he came on
some of his visits. The match was
fixed, however, and agreed to. When
her sister Mary had been married
the father had preached a sermon
on the text, "Mary hath chosen the
good part." 'Xow it was, Abigail's
turn. 'You preached on Mary'
text when she was married and now
you will preach upon mine?' ''Oh,
certainly. What is it ?' Quick as
a flash, remembering the opposition
to her lover, John Adams, she re
plied: 'John came neither, eating
nor drinking, and they say he hath
a devil.' " She was a woman of great
force of character, figuring largely
in his correspondence, a frequent
and influential adviser on affairs of
state and it is even credited to her
I that she first suggested the Declara
tion.
