CORNELIUS VANDERBILT IN OVERALLS, How « the Young Millionaire Is Dressed When at Work In the Railroad —_—+ and old fellows, too—that has endeared him to @ large number of the American people? ‘The picture printed here, which shows Mr. Vanderbilt in his working clothes, 4s a pantial answer to theso questions, "The romance which first brought him into publio attention supplies the rest of the answer. Although worth $10,000,000, he works every day of his life. He is as much at home in an engine round-house as he is in a parlor, and as famillar with the locomotive fireman's shoyel as he “jg with the pen with which he signs his checks. ‘This is why ever since the fact that Mr. Vanderbilt has been stricken with typhold fever became known the public has shown a deep {nterest in his condi- tion—a wholly personal interest, dif- ferent from that which would greet a gmilar announcement regarding most * any other millionaire. For days sympathetic crowds collect- ed about the great house at No, 22 Park avenile, where the young man lay at the point of death, and many and anxious were the Inquiries made by persoris total strangers to the fuslly at the Vanderbilt home and at numer- ous newspaper offices. “Ail the world loves a lover, quoted ‘a superficial person in discussing this popular interest in Mr, Vanderbilt's con- ition; but there are much better rea- “sons for the’ esteem fn which the young man is held than the mere fact that he raved his father’s anger'to marry ahd forfelted his rights as eldest son to marry the girl of his oholve.
