THE SPLIT IN THE FAMILY.

| have heard that there are some
AstOrs descendent from Henry living up
the Hudson river, and that the great and
rich Astors have nothing to do with
them. do not know whether that is
true or whether there are such Ast0Ts,
but if it is true it is all right, for Henry
unquestionably parted with the rest OF
the family deliberately and in cold blood
when he paid that sun of money to John
Jacob so as not to be bothered by his
then poor relations any more.
John Jacob Aston prospered amazingly.
He made millions when it was something
that nobody else unconnected with 0 y
atty appeared able to do, except the
Rothschilds in Europe. With those
millions, made by putting the entire con-
tlnent under a tax for its furs, he estab-
llshed not only a landed estate, but a
family with Il principle, with a fixed
purpose.
He was of incalculable service in the
development Of New York, because he
went to districts the city had not reached
and built dwellings for persons of mod
crate means. He built them very we'll,
TO last as long as possible, and he rented
them for a fair return, thus establishing
a moderate system Of rentals with sIl
the landlords Of the city.
In another generation an unfortunate
split occurred. and the estate and the
family have since then gone forward in
two parts, much the larger part nearlv
~two-thirds, | believe), going to the de-
scendants Of the elder son, and the small
er part to the descendants of a second
son. William Waldorf Astor now rep
resents the bulk Of the estate, and the
little baby, John Jacob, is heir to the
smaller part.-John Ralph in Providence
Journal.

JOHN JACOB ASTOR.
HOW THE HEAD OF A GREAT
FAMILY SECURED HIS CAPITAL.

The Butcher brother of the Great Fur
Trader Gave the Pioneer of the West
$500 to BE Rid OF a Poor Relatlvc-A
Princely Fortune Has Been Made Since.
Let me step back d hundred years and
tell you about the Astors. may tell
you something's you did not know.
When John Jacob Astor worked his
way down the Rhine to the sea and
shipped to England away from his sloth-
full, lazy innkeeping father, he stopped
IN London and went to work for his
brother, a successful manufacturer of
flutes and pianos, and unless 1 am very
much mistaken, junior partner in what
is still the greatest piano making house
in England, though there are no Astors
in it now.
John Jacob was on his way to Amer
lea, ard only went to England to stop
awhile and learn English-a feat which
he had not accomplished when he died.
When he reached New York city, not
very long after the close Of the Revolu-
tionary war, he had heard about the fur
business and had determined to embark
in it. It does not matter whether he
peddled a little before that n more
than it matters whether Jay Gould sold
rat traps before he became a railroad
operate.
In time John Jacob a~pprenticed him
self to a fur dealer and learned all the
tricks and secrets of the business. But
in the meantime he had cone to this
city for the same reason he had gone to
LondOn-he had a brother here. This
brother was Henry Aston, and III those
days nobody questioned whiclf@ould be
the more successful Of the two, for
Henry was a mighty and a cunning
man in business.
He was a butcher in the Bowcry and
lived above his store there. He had
married a chubby, rosy German wom-
al Of whom he used to boast, "She was
der pootiest gal by der Bowery."

The regular weekly meeting of the
Police Commissioner was held last
evening. when u number OF bills that
were presented, were approved.
Tho matter Of increasing the police
force w;ts taken up. and Ca Dtuin Fran
els, who Is acting as chief, was asked
II twelve more men could DO used,
when he replied that he Thought they
could, and were needed. Mayor Will
ley was in favor of adding that mauy
to the force. and Mr.. Lawson snid that
while he thought they wern needed,
the question was can the city afford
the increased expense at present MIR.
Jester thought the additional men
should be appointed, and moved that
the increase DO made July /. The mo.
ton was carried all the commission
voting IN favor of it,
Mr. Lawson said there were great
many bad pavements i'll tlIi- G. ty, and
lie thought the officers shUu.d Report
them. Mayor Wiley said that he was
under the impression that the law re-
quired the officers to mako such re-
ports.
Captain Francis said the officers do
make such reports and they are re-
ferred to the Street and Sewer Com
mission.
The attention OF the commissioners
was called to the practice some officers
have of leaving their beats before their
hours of duty expire, and going home
TO their breakfast. During this time
their beats are unprotected. Tho
commissioners were of the unanimous
opinion that stop must be put to this
practice at once.
Another subject considered was
whether the seigeants Of police should
patrol their districts and watch the
men, OF remain in the station.
The opinion was that the sergeanta
should Oe on the street looking after
the men. and should report to the sta
