LEAVES HIS CARD. ‘The Ill Man's Wife 1s Unremitting In Her Attendance on Him and Fears for Her Health Were En-| tertained, Ths following bulletin concerning the condition of Cornelius Vanderbilt was {smued to-day: “Mr. Vanderblit has hed another com- fortable night and is sti! progressing ~#atisfactorily, No complications have occurred. AUSTIN FLINT, JR." Dr. Filnt would not announce the tem- erature of his patient, but it was in- ferred from his conversation that It re- ) mains unchanged. The physician did not remain long at the Vanderbilt residence, and his demeanor indicated that he was yell satisfied witb the sick man’s condl- lon. Tt is learned that Mrs. Vanderbilt, from the beginning of her husband's ill- Ress, has been this devoted nurse and Attendant. So constant was ske in her ministrations that It was feared two days ago that she would give way Under the strain. The continued favorable symptoms have allowed her to seck rest and to cast off some of the worry that had oppressed her, ao that she has recovered her normal strength and health, She continues to have charge of ail arrange- ements for the comfort of her husband. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, by the terms of his father’s will the head of the family, called at the residence of Cornelius Vanderbiit yesterday and left his card, He did not get out of his carriage. \ ‘This is the first communication between the brothers save by the medium of attorneys or personal friends since the Marriage of Cornelius to Grace Wilson. #-NANDERBLLT AS ASANTA CLAUS illiam K., Jr., and His Wife Are Going to Give Presents to the Pupils of Some of the Long Island Schools. { " PIPE ORGAN TO A CHURCH. / Not to be outdone by the members of the Westohester set of millionaires who are to act as Santa Clauses, William K. Vanderbilt, jr., and the wife of the latter propose to see that the children of Hyde Park public school and of Little Neck public school, in Long Isl- and, get Christmas presents. Like thelr Westchester brother mil- Uonaires, Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt will be the Kris Kringles of ‘Long Island. ( 0}, © Already Mrs. Vanderbilt has given “to the Catholic Church at Hyde Park A handsome pipe organ, and the entire church is being renovated at the ex- *. sense of herself and her husband. ALA week from to-morrow night Mr. and Mrs, Vanderbilt will be present in the German Presbyterian Church at Hyde Park and will there make presents to the public school children, who have al- ready arranged an apprgpriate pro- gramme to be given prior to and after the reception of their gifts. If it came to a question now-of voting x iJ away Lake Success to Mr. Vanderbilt by Vl. the citizens of North Hempstead {t is t needless to say that the pupils of the schoo! at Hyde Park would all go elec- tloneering, and with thelr aesistance the Jake much coveted by the Vanderbilts might yet be secured by them. “Ina letter sent by Mr, Vanderbilt to Miss Brett, Principal of the Little Neck | public school, the millionaire asked {f no TB) Srtense would be taken if he and his 5 wife were to make Christmas presents to the school children, and the Bchool Principal made answer that such pres- ents would be appreciated.

HE IS A CITY OFFICIAL. ‘ Commisstoner of Public Works De- nies the Report and Pierre Loril- lard's Friend Refuses to Talk on the Subject. Out of a close compantonship, which thas existed for nearly a year, has grown @ report that George Livingston, Com- minsioner of Public Works for the Bor- ough of Manhattan, and Lilian Barnes Allen, mistress of Rancocas by the will of Pierre Lorillard, ,were to marry. Mr. Livingston makes emphatic denial. “There could be no truth in such & story,” he says. Mrs. Alilen declines to discuss the matter. Servants at Rancocas and residents of Jobstown, N. J., near by, have their own view of the matter ang, not having had the advantage up to now of hearing of Mr. Livingston's dental, they are all of one mind and in thelr opinion Mr. Livingston has been, to outward ap- pearance at least, an ardent muitor. One of the negro seryants at Rancocas, who has a position of some authority, puts the matter this way: “T have heard as how Mistah Living- ston ast her to hab him, but from what I kin learn sho gib him no ctviltzed answer. I know she calls him ‘George,’ and he has a powerful lot to say about Ais place—more than Mistah Plerre Lorillard had." ‘The history of Tillian Barnes Allien, who was Mr, Lorillard'’s constant com- panion during the latter part of his life, has been told many times within the last two years, Mr. Livingston Js also quite well known. He was a Bchool Commisstoner before he became head of the Departmnet of Public Works. Before that he was In the silk business. He 1s forty-five years old and his man- ners are those of a gentleman of the old school. His closest friend is John C. Sheehan. Fofnearly a year Miss Barnes, as she now prefers to be called, and Mr. Liv- Ingston have been great friends. They have been much in each other's com- pany in this city and at Raneocas. Last summer she entertained him at Rancocas and during that time his tace became familiar to residents of Jobs- town, N. J, During the visit he had the mishap of silpping and spraining his ankle while stepping out of a bathtub, and for several weeks he was a cripple, amid luxurious surroundings. Often Seen Together. |_ After her sensational pilgrimage to Saratoga Mrs. Allien returned to this city, and she has seen often at the |theatres and in Broadway restaurants with Mr. Livingston. .On the Saturday after ‘Thankaglving Day Mes. her secretary and companion, Miss Marguerite Oliver, and Mr, Livingston went to Rancocas and remained until last Tuesday. Mrs, Allen likes Rancocas. She does | not find it lonely despite the indifference lof her wealthy neighbors to her pren- ences She finds her enjoyment in play- ling Lady Bopntiful to the poor of the village ‘and surrounding country-sids. There Is no question about her popu- jlarity in the many humble homes where her advent has brought rellet from sickness and other forms of dis- 6 8. Jost now she is planning a big Christ- mas fete for the work-people of Ran- cocas who have remained with her and for the poor of the village. There will be a great Christmas-tree and a distri- bution of gifts, and then the rink at Jobstown will be used for a dance. The ‘ople of the country-side are wonder- ing whether Mr. Livingston will be at Rancocas to act as Santa Claus at the Christmas entertainment. PLUMB DIES OF POISON. Took Carbolic Found Unconscious. Henry Plumb, who took carbolic acid in his room at Mrs, Mary Scully's apartments, No, 1080 Second avenue, Monday night, died early to-day at the Blower Hospital, where be was taken after being found unconscious, There is, considerable mystery about the case and the police of the Fifty- first, street station have started an jn- vestigation. Mrs. Scully declines to dis- cuss it. She says she knows nothing about the man. He cr ne to her house and rented the room, mu says, and she saw fittle of him. GLASS OF WATER Upset Her. Acid and Was People that don’t know about food should never be allowed to feed per- sons with weak stomachs. A little over a year ago a young woman who lives in Mercer, Me., had an attack of scarlet fever, and when convalescent was permitted to eat anything she wanted. Indiscriminate feeding soon put her back in bed with severe stomach trouble and in- flammation of the kidneys, “There I stayed,” she says, “three months, with my stomach in such condition that I could take only a few teaspoonfuls of milk or beef juice at a time. Finally Grape-Nuts was brought to my attention and I asked my doctor if I might eat it. He said ‘yes,’ and I commenced at once. “The fuod did me good from the start and I was soon out of bed and entirely recovered from the stomach trouble, I have gained ten pounds eince my recovery and am di all household duties, some d: - ting down only long enough to eat my meals. I can eat anything that one ought to eat, but I still continue to eat Grape-Nuts at breakfast and supper and like it better every day. “Considering that a year ago I could stand only a short time and that a glass af water seemed ‘so "1 am fully satisfied that Nuts has been everything ta ‘me and my return to good health is due solely to it. T have told several friends having nervous or stomach trouble what Grape-Nuts did for me, and in every eases! case they speak highly of the food.” haze bias by Postum Co,, Battle Allien, | 4 TREMENDOUS SALE.
