Not Like Anything.
Ludlow Tribune

Since the publication of Hon. Levi
X. Fuller's lyrical gem the Tribunes
opposition to that gentlenans guber-
material aspirations has been weaken
ing. If it is possible to secure as our
next governor, man who has not
only distinguished himself by his
martial bearing and his devotion to
"uniform PITCH" but who has also
courted the muse and dwelt among
the clouds on Mt. Parnassus, it i'll
becomes the Tribune to stand in the
way of his advancement. The po-
etry market may be trife dull for
commonplace productions, but when
a man can SO WELD a pen that even
his political enemies make haste to
scatter his gems broadcast, he must
have merit of high order. The
worship of such poetry is not idolatry,
for it is not "like anything in the
heavens above, or the earth beneath
or the waters under the earth"

The AStOrS,

The death of William Astor in Paris
set people talking as the death of an
Astor always does, about the family
estates and history. One statement has
been made that William Astor was the
last of the third generation of the Astor
family. This is not true William
Astor left sister, Mrs. Delano, who
lives in Europe, and brother, Henry,
living obscurely on farm in Columbia
rounty, N. Y. Henry's father, William
B., cut him off with small sum because
he married in the rank of life from which
the Astor fa.uily originally sprang and
preferred farming to rolling up interest
and building houses in the city. The
founder of the American family of
Astors was the son of German butcher
in Waldorf, near Heidelberg, Germany.
But it was crime of the blackest kind
for the great-grandson of poor butcher
to wed the daughter of an equally poor
and humble German family in America,
therefore was Henry Astor snuffed out
as unceremoniously as the girls of the
Astor family always are
The policy of the Astors has been to
keep the wealth together at all hazard.
To the son who shows talent for increas-
ing the family millions is beQueathed
the bulk Of the property, while the girls,
worth nothing as money makers, are
merely portioned off with small
amount. Thus William B. Astor gave
the bulk of his 5000, 900, 900 to his son
John Jacob, respectable portion to
William, who has Just died. and 81 ,000,-
900 apiece to his daughters.
William B. Astor, the father of the
late William. was the real money maker
of the family, for old John Jacob, "the
original Jacob was worth Only $780,
000. 900 at his death. His money was got
largely in the fur and China trade. But
when William B. became the head of
the family he turned his attention en-
tirely to the real estate investment bust
ness, which has since rolled up the As
tor fortunes SO enormously The Astor
real estate policy is said to be to only
buy very cheap and never to sell at all,
but to build and rent.
At all events the present head of the
family, William Waldorf Astor, nephew
of the late William and grandson of
William b.. is now said on good author
ity to be worth $3.50, 900. 1t is Will
diamond ornaments. At the opera and
receptions she has sometimes worn dia-
monds to the v;ine of 100000. Will
liam was the father of Mrs Coleman

Don't try to be too economical
when you buy paint.-The saving
of three or four dollars in the cost of
your paint is generally false economy.
Your dealer in paint tells you it will take
so many gallons to paint your house.
Then comes in your economy. You
hear of paint that is 25 cents less per
gallon than the Chiffon Paint. You
know that the Chiffon brand is stand
ard paint, made from the best materials.
Now why don't the Chiffon Manufac-
turing Co. sell it for 25 cents less per
gallon? They can't afford it, and you
can't afford to save that % cents.
The best Paint is the cheapest in the
end.

IhE LEoIuRE CouRsE.


The lecture by Mr.. Horace G. Wadlin,
chief of the Massachusetts bureau of la
Dor statistics, on the subject of "Immi-
grafton" last Friday evening, was the
most interesting and by far the best de-
livered of the entire course. 1t was I'M
fortunate that, owing to the bad weather,
the attendance was the smallest that has
yet been. The lecturer called attention
to the fact that the movement of immi-
grafton to this country was part of the
race and that its origin dates back
to the beginnings of the history of
Europe. The dangers which this immi-
grafton brought with it were not neces-
crease in numbers, for the yet unsettled
plains of Texas and of the other Westt rn
States were sufficient to furnish nourish-
ment for many times the entire popula-
ton of the world. He then considered
the concentration of the population in
the great cities and the way in which the
/ foreign population is centered there.
This concentration of the foreign ele-
ment he thought was IA source of dam
ger to free government, unless they
could he properly assimilated. 1t was
instructive to note how this assimilation
went on. Years ago the chief element
of the laborers in the mills of New Eng
land were the Irish and English, who had
replaced the earlier native element.
These, however, had been assimilated in
our population and their places in the
mills had been taken by the French-Can-
adams, who were now in turn yielding
to the Poles and Roumanians. The speak
er closed by calling attention to the fact
that the church was doing very little to-
wards making these foreign elements a
part and parcel of our national life and
being. 1t could and should do more. But
to do so it must change its methods so as
to attract, instead of repulsing them, as
it does now.
The lecture was made the closing exer-
else of the teachers institute and was at
tended by II number of the teachers. Mr.
Wadlin took the train the next morning
at 3 :3S for Montreal and Chicago, being
on his way to Denver, Col.
The final lecture of the course will be
given this evening by Prof. c. c. Plehn,
who will talk about &" State and Local In.
