Still Has Literary Aspirations
TGDac{aI OorT-esuon depce1

NEW YoRK, Sept 15-Mr. William Wal
dorf Astor has just had ons of his histori-
cal novels illustrated, paying for the work
a very large sum of money. He secured
the best designers and engravers, and they
have produced for him most artistic and
exquisite illustrations. The public, how
ever, will never see these illustrated vol
umes, for they are designed only for linn
tied number Of copies which Mr.. Astor ex-
poets to present to his intimates. 1t is
whispered in literary circles here that Mr..
Astor has by no means given up his liter
airy inclinations, although the manage
ment Of the enormous estate bequeathed
recently to him by his father makes him
as busy man as any merchant or banker
in the city. 1t Is not known exactly what
Mr.. Astor next proposes to publish, but it
is known that he is giving all the time he
can spare to the study of mediBvsl Italian
history, and it is fair to surmise, the pub
fishers think, that he has in view another
romance of that epoch.
Mr.. Astor's latest publication was very
good historical novel The idea occurred
to him when he was the United States
minister to Italy, and he spent much time
when living in Rome in the study of the
times which he thought of depicting in
this story. It was his second novel, The
first was fairly creditable work, but ex-

uAgEAs CORPUS FOR scHwAe.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 29.-Judge Gresham
this morning took up the application for a
writ of habeaus corpus for the release from
the penitentiary of Michael Schwab, the
anarchist who was sent to Joliet for life.
Attorney General Hunt filed special de-
murrer setting forth that the allegations
contained In the petition were insufficient
to warrant the granting Of the prayer.
Schwab's attorney asked for time to ex-
anime the demurrer and the court gave
him till o'clock this afternoon.
During the afternoon the attorney gen
eral and Lawyer Solomon argued the case,
pro and con. Judge Gresham then decid-
ed the application in few words He
said he did not see sufficient allegations in
the petition to release the relator or issue
a writ of habeas corpus. He would sus-
tain the special demurrer and dismiss the
petition. The matter could be then taken
up ia the United States supreme court.

He Tried to Explain How 1t Worked,
but FaiIeH IgnOminiousIy.
He was prominentla lawyer of Topeka.
Briefs with him were as thick as the
sunhowers that fringe the low bottoms
of the silent Kaw in August.
Always dressed in the most spotless Of
fashionably cut garments, he was the
envy of struggling barristers and the
cynosure of the ladies who promenaded
the aristocratic avenues of Kansas fair
capital.
1t was terribly melting day in the
scorching month of June, when, with a
cool array Of immaculate linen and sug-
gestively airy, snow white duck, he en-
tered the state library, where the ever
faithful custodian of the precious vol
umes of legal lore was pouring over his
desk busily engaged in answering a mass
of correspondence ever accumulating,
the burden of his daily life of routine.
"Why don't you buy a fountain pen"
he asked, in an enthusiastic tone, as he
pulled one of these little instruments out
of his vest pocket "You can't imagine
what a vast amount of time one can save.

could not procure another would not
take 81 600 for it.

arm travels, in dipping his pen in the ink
alone, more than half dozen miles in
an ordinary day of hard writing? Just
think what a waste Of muscular energy!
Let me show you how easily the thing
works"
AS he spoke he attempted to uEscrew
the little cap, upon which Jet Of the
deceitful fluid, as fine as the spray from
a lady's rubber bulbed perfume bottle,
spurted out and struck him fairly be-
tween the eyes and slowly trickled down
his face.
Il guess that l have unscrewed the
wrong end. Wait until try the other"
Then, without replacing the cap he had
withdrawn, he slowly took off the other,
which, permitting more air in, out the
treacherous ink flew in a stream as thick
as lead pencil. completely covering his
face, vest aud permeating his hair, fall

fitted no particular interest, excepting that
which arose from the fact that Mr.. Astor
was the author. The second story, how
ever, stood more upon its merits, and those
who examined it. and tried to forget that
one OF the richest men in the world had
written it, thought they found in it the
evidence of considerable ability in story
telling, great patience in historical investi-
cation and good deal of literary merit
Mr.. Astor was at first tempted TO publish
it anonymously, because he found that his
first story was talked of mainly because
William Waldorf Astor wrote it, and be
wished to have the second work judged en-
tirely on its merits, but 10 leaked out in
some wav that he was writing a romance
of Italian history, and be thought that it
would then be an affectation TO publish
the book anonymously, as the authorship
would be sure to be discovered.
Mr.. Astor is, with single exception, the
only possessor of enormous wealth in this
city who seems to have had any desire 70

that is what he now thinks, and what he

AFTER THE WESTERN ROADS.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-The interstate COM
rnerce commission is after the western
roads again. this time for the purpose OF
regulating the lumber rates. Some time
ago the board of trade of Eau Claire, Wis,
sent a petition TO the commission asking
that body TO compel the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and St. Paul road TO reduce the rate on
lumber from Eau Claire to Missouri river
points. What the Eau Claire people com
plain of is that the rates which they are
compelled TO pay on lumber to Council
Bluffs aud Kansas City are unreasonably
high as compared with those from
northwestern points The rate from Eau
Claire is 6ls cents per 100 pounds
above the Chicago rate, while that from
Wilma to La Crosse is only cent and that
that from st Paul and Minneapolis is
only , cents above the rate from Chicago.
Answer was made by the Chicago, MI
waukee and St Paul that the lumber
rates were recently advanced and
10 now lower the. rate at any
one point would result in general
cutting and collapse all around. Taking
as a basis this report, the interstate COM
merCe commission has served notice on
number of the western roads interested IN
the lnmber traffic, ordering them TO make
answer within twenty days and show
cause why the rates should not be re-
duced from Eau Claire.
