Young Jack" Aston.

young jack as he is called. is
the only one Of the family who has
ever shown any disposition to be fop-
pish or frivolous and brisk. The turdy
old Dutch blood OF the Astors is pro-
badly becoming more Or less diluted
by marriage with more volatile
Americans, and this may result in pro-
ducing an Astor in a generation or
two who will forget the iron-elad ira
ditions Of his family and make the
town hum after the fashion of other
young men Of great millionaire houses.
They are serious and an intensely
respectable family, and their influ ence
on New York society has always been
beneficial. But at the best it cannot
be said that the Astors are gay.
Young jack WAC is about six feet
high and exceedingly nervous in
manner, is q bit off the line OF sue
cession. The sons of William Wal
dorf Astor will inherit the bulk of the
great estate. Perhaps it is the reallza-
ton OF this that makes Young Jack"
feel like fighting occasionally, and en-
courages him to play boyish pranks at
Newport and Lenox. He will not have
the impressive monetary res ponslbil-
ity of his cousin. as it is not at al
likely that he Will have more than
beggarly hundred million or SO to
struggle along with in life after the
next shake up OF the big estate. New

for each ship load Of enthusiastic pur-
chasers. Many have made tidy for
tunes in curios and trade, and an
nounced it not by totem poles and
great pettatches or feasts. as in olden
times. but by giving their house q
coat Of guy paint, addinga bay window
or II balcony. The silversmith is the
busiest man in the community, works
to mindight and beyond. and delivers
his spoons and bracelets to the anxious
tourists at any unearthly hour that he
may finish them. The craze for col
lecting spoons has finally reached vest
ward and northwsrd to Alaska, and
the summer visitors gather up horn
spoons and wooden spoons Of the native
style and stimulate the Indian silver
smiths to hammering out spoons that
are neither Indian nor wholly Euro
pean, nor much OF anything In design.
Left to themselves and their own ideas
the Indians will repeat in silver the
same designs they have always used in
shaping and ornamenting the spoons
or oil ladies made from the horns Of
musk OK or mountain goat. Some OF
these silver spoons are quite unique.

ton OF spoons, but the common fiddle-

in Connecticut factory and merely
etched over with tote mic designs is the
trophy carried Off in greatest numbers
by the summer tourist.

A Literary Conversatio

A char ming debutante met dis
tinguished lawyer at a reception and
was much f1attered when he asked
leave to call upon her the next even
ing.
Bent on making herself agreeable
she consulted with her girl friends re-
speeding his likes and dislikes, his
hobbies, etc.
.'Oh, I'm nearly scared to death.
She confessed to one sympathetic
maiden. They say he's so awfully
smart, and I'm certain l won't talk
welt enough to please him. Now,
you've known him a long time. Do
tell me what subjects to discuss so |
GIN run home and get ready for him.
''WelL" suggested the l1ind-hearted
friend, Literature is his fad, SO you
can't go wrong if you turn the CONVEX
sation in that channel. Having SCI
cured this valuable information Miss
Budd hurried home comforted and de-
voted the rest OF the day TO reading.
Promptly at 8 O'clock the young
lawyer was ushered in the drawing
room, where he found Miss Budd
thoroughly posted in literature)
awaiting him.
..Wasn'tit delightful reception we
attended last EVENING"" he asked by
way OF onening the conversation.
..Oh, yes, was the enthusiastic re-
Spouse, '.but wasn't that sad about
poor Mary Queen of Scots? They cut
her head off, you know"
/ regret to state that neither history
nor the young lawyer has recorded the
rest Of this very literary conversation.

Capt. Jim Emmons showed his boat
through the surf and started to sea
few days ago to fish, says a Long
Brancn letter. At about 6:15 a. M.
while anchored about half mile from
shore between Hoey's Hollywood pier
and 'Tackanassee'' Lake, he had an
experiences which left an impression
on his mind that haunts him vet.
Looking toward the shore he saw
something rise out Of the water At
flrst he thought it was a sturgeon, but
1t kept rising taller and taller until he
plainly saw about twelve feet Of the
head and neck of some monster of
the deep. The head was decidedly
snake-like. 1t was black. the neck
Just back OF the head being about the
thickness OF telegraph pole.
The monster looked around, as if
getting its bearings, and then disap-
peared beneath the water. AS il
went down the body was plainly yisi-
BILE. The captain watched for it to
show itself again.
A short distance of the snakes head
and neck appeared above water. This
time the neck was bent backward to-
wards the body, and the head was
curved short, something like a swans
when sailing. 1t was swimming south
broadside to the heavy ground swell.
Capt Emmons had a good view of the
immense black body as it rose and fell!
on the seas. He describes it as looking
like sooner bottom-side up.
The captain did not fish any more
that day alone in small boat. He
wanted to go ashore, but was afraid if
he moved he would attract the sea
monster attention. At last, evident
ly finding itself too near shore, it again
disappeared, going TO the southwark.
Capt. Emmons says the strange ami
NAL looks like the pictures OF the ex-
tinct pleslosaurus.
Capt Emmons is not troubled with
impaired vision. neither is he of an
imaginative mind. He is a well-known
gentleman. He was formerly captain

(half were lawyers and the other three
were leading business men) said the
time had come when the majority Of
the law must be upheld and that in his
opinion the murder Of james King, of
William, must be promptly avenged.
There was not a dissenting voice to
this proposition, and the six then and
there organized the .Vigilantes,' or
vigilance committee. Before a week
they had an organization 20, 900 strong,
and before the end OF the same week
Jim Casey was under arrest, ard dur

admitted; for James King of William,

allowed a lawyer, but his defense was

"On the day following Jim Casey's
sentence, in the presence of twenty

and his friends buried him without

attended by ten thousand people.

wa coming down Town to his work about
O'Clock Sunday morning. and had
reached Virginia street on Fifth
when he was startled by hearing groans
anu cries of some one in pain just in front
oil him. Ii was so dark that be could
hardly see ahead of him, but on going
lew steps further he met a man under
street light who was laboring along with a
terrible nurien. The man was coatless,
hatiess and GREATNESS. Under his
arms were the feet of man whose
he'd and shoulders we're being
dragged along over the rough sidewalk.
Following close behind were two men, both
OF whom were without coats or hats
Thompson edged over to the inner side OF
the walk. and as the startling procession
passed by he looked at the upturned face
OF the man who was being pulled along.
1t looked like the face of the dead, and The
forehead was clotted with blood. But the
ing, although he made no effort to speak
Thompson was thoroughly frightened,
and as soon as he was safely past the party
started on a dead run, and he did not
slacken his speed until he reached the cor
ner OF Columbia and Second street. Then
he began to realize how foolish his fright
had been, and be kept still about the
matter for fear that his comrades might
ridicuie him. Later in the day. however,
he returned TO The spot, accompanied by
friends.
At the corner OF Stewart and Fifth
streets they found confirmation of the
worst features of the incident. On the
crossing was pool of blood and from that
spot along the east side of Fifth street was
crimson trail which could easily be fol-
lowed, little clots of blood being found at
intervals OF less than twenty feet At the
corner OF Virginia street the trail turned
10 the right and in the middle of
Virginia street, which is only par
tally graded there. could be seen
evidences that the man had been dragged
along through the mud nearly to s xth
street. where a halt had been made and
the body lifted by the three men and car
ried to some place unknown. for no turtle
tracks could be found.
This is the story told by young Thomp-
son and confirmed by those who fol owed
the trail with him. Further than this all
is conjecture. A murder may have been
committed in the very heart of the city. or
the three men may have been robbers.

mystery may be solved BY the fnding OF q
