THE ASTOR FORTUNE.
A Fortune that still Grows Bigger and Big
g.r-How 1t Was Built Up.

Fortune that Still Grows Bigger and Big
g.r-How 1t Was Built Up.
The recent death of Mrs. John jacob
Astor and the universal regret at the sad
occurrence brings once more into promi-
nence the fact that of all the great for
tunes accumulated in this country the
Astor fortune has excited the least envy.
Mrs. Astor's most sincere as well as by
far most numerous circle Of mourners
were found among the poor. While it
is true that the bulk of the enor-
nIous wealth of the Astors is composed Of
what such social refOrmers IS Henry
George call the unearned increment,
repre- senting the advance in value Of large
and judiciouS investments in real estate,
il still remains true that among the poorer
classes in New York when the rich are
denounced for greed and keartlessness,
somehow the Astors, the richest of the
rich, are rarely included IN the denuncl-
alton.
It must be confessed thst the originator
of the Astor fortune was not gifted with
an undue stock OF the milk of human
kindness. John Jacob Aston the first, the
grandfather Of the present heir of the for
tune, wss born at Waldorf, in Baden, in
1853. His father was small farmer with
q large family, and John Jacob, the
fourth son, started on foot at the age OF
seventeen to seek his fortune. Walking
10 the nearest seaport he sailed for
London, where one of his brothers had q
piano factory. He worked in his brothers.
fsctory for two years, st the end OF which
time his savings amounted TO Is guineas.
Investing 10 guineas in lot OF cheap
musical instruments and bnying steer
age passage to Baltimore with the other
3. he sailed from London early in Novem-
Der. 1888, being then just turned OF
twenty. HIS vessel was caught in the ice
in Chesapeake bay and detained two
months before 1t could reach Baltimore,
where ne finally landed March 10, 1884.
During the long imprisonment on the
ice, which he doubtless regarded all the
time as great hardship, he learned the
secret upon which he afterward founded
his enormous fortune. A German fur
rier was among his fellow passengers,
and while smoking their pipes to while
sway the long winter nights he enter
tanned young Aston with stories OF his
adventures among the Indians IN
search Of valuable furs, tell
ing him how cheaply they could
be purchased with few gsudy trinkets,
and how dearly they could DE sold n the
London market. Young Astor ianoeo,
disposed Of his musical instruments az {"
profit and proceeded Immediately to New
York, where en- older brother WAS already
living, but lot prospecting. John JACOB
obtained temporary employment IN
