Vanderbilt's First Boat Tales of Commodore Vanderbilt
Mrs. Coventry Waddell shared anecdotes about Commodore Vanderbilt at her Stuyvesant Square home. The tale covers his youth, buying a sailboat for 105, his frugal bargain with neighbors to earn 100, and a playful remark about pockets in shrouds. It also recounts his method of coaxing a balky Staten Island horse with sugar, illustrating his early energy and resourcefulness in rising from modest means.

Not a Millionaire Talmage Not Rich as Believed
The Brooklyn divine Dr. Talmage is not a millionaire. His personal wealth totals about 285,000 from earnings and investments. His salary over the years was 5,000 to 12,004, with outside income rising to around 110,000, and he owns real estate valued at 0,000 plus a Hasthampton country place and a few lots. Much of his wealth remains in five percent mortgages, including 80,000 in Brooklyn real estate mortgages, much in his wife's name.

Passionate Poet Swinburne Seen in Wimbledon Rain
An article in the Pall Mall Gazette describes Algernon Swinburne walking homeward in heavy rain without umbrella, handing sweets to children, and humorously noted by a Wimbledon confectioner. The piece contrasts his stern public persona with a gentle, affectionate tolerance of children. The Baltimore Sun reports the Maryland Historical Society receiving nearly 700 papers from James Howard McHenry, including 100 Washington letters from 1782 to 1799, with other correspondents like Hamilton and Jefferson, highlighting substantial Revolutionary War era material.
