VALENTINO"
How MIR. W. w. Aston, the Millionaire, Came
to Write q Book.

New York Special.
William Waldorf Astor, the millionaire and
former minister to Italy has written an histor-
ical romance entitled Valentino" which will
soon be published by Charles Scribner's Sons.
Eyes, wrote the book" said Mr. Astor to-day
when was in Italy as minister, 1 became very
much interested in Italian history. l devoted
certain amount of time to its study every day,
under the direction of very well-informed pro-
fessor of the College of Italian History at Rome.
| am not quite positive as to the name of the in
stitution, but believe that that is it. We went
over the eventfu history of the early part of the
sixteenth century very carefully, and l was
amazed at its brilliancy, its remarka
BILE episodes, and its intense interest.
What surprised me- most, however, was the
difference between It's actual history and that
which has been generally accepted by Ameri-
cans and Enclshmen. Victor Hugos tragedy
of 'Lucretia Borgia is the grossest misrepresen-
tation in the history of the Borgia family and
the then existing state of affairs in Italy.
searched the history of the celebrated family,
particularly the life of Pope Alexander vi, the
father of Cesar Borgia, very infinitely. thought
that If l could write book which would give
clear and correct conception of Italian history at
that time, would do in my humble way some
service to literature. | studied the life of Mach
iavelli, the costumes and the mode of living. the
military movements, and all the details which
would be at once interesting and instructive.
decided to write romance, as feared that the
history alone would prove dry. I wrote it at
odd intervals. and submitted it anonymously to
Scrlbner's l did this because / wanted to have
1t accepted or rejected on its merits, and not on
nv name"

He was captured at his residence by two officers

from Woodberry, where he and his family spent

citation, service on the wrong side of

searching for her. She had one of her
rubbers in her hand and her knitting
work in her pocket. No satchel, or
bundle, with $50 in money, which it
was supposed she had with her, was
found. The flesh from her head and
face had been much eaten, probably by
mice. The deceased was Il respectable
maiden lady. While some think she
lost her way and was frozen to death,
others point to the absence of her
valise and money as conclusive evil
dence of foul play. Her remains were
taken to Jericho, where the funeral
was held Sunday. 1t is understood
that the deceased had several thousand
dollars in the savings bank and that
she has two brothers in New York
