Show Wouldn't Monntr for VandR-ullt. VandR-ullt. Everybody did not love Commodore Com-modore Vauderbilt, and even when death has switched him off, some people cannot learn to look upon him with afleclioo. LaBt summer, when he died the first time, the vessels i in our harbor put their flags at half-1 mast. Among the reat was cue vessel the owner of which stood at the foot of Madison street just as the captain, who had been out to his vessel to put the iUgs at half-mast, stepped on shore. The owner of the vessel met him with a terrible squall depicted on his face. "Captain " said ho, "get right into lhat boat and go back to that vessel and raise those flags clear to the top of tho mast. Nona of your half-mast business on my vessel in honor of old Vauderbilt. He cheated mo out of 10,000 once and you bet your life I won't put on mourning for him." And thus it happened that on that day one vessel of all those in tho harbor bad its colors flying as if :or a Fourth of July clebratiou. Toledo Commercial, |
