The RefOrm IN Illinois and Indiana.
indianapolis Sentinel.
The Chicago Tribune is moved to ex-
plain the somewhat startling fact that
under the recent assessment in Illinois
the value of property in Cook county sd~
vanced 81, $50 900. while the value of
property in the remainder of the state fell
about $4OO. 900. 1t asserts that values
in Cook county have in fact advanced
very much more than the figures indicate,
and in the remainder of the state they
have advanced somewhat but not so much
as in Cook county. and therefore lis is
not so inequitable to put down the rest
of the state, which does not grow as rap
idly as Cook, as having lost q little dur
ing the twelvemonth. Possibly it may
not be ineouitable, but certainly it is very
absurd A system under which officials
make sworn reports that are absolutely
false and that every one knows to be
false cannot fail to be injurious in its
moral effects, and nothing Is more clearly
demonstrated than that assessments made
on q pre- established basis Of undervalua-
ton are always unjust to the smaller tax

VIM. ASTOR'S WILL.
John Jacob Astor Made Re-
siduary Legatee.
The Provisions tor the Daughters is the
Income of $e5o,ooo Each~ For
Life-Burial Services.

Special TO the Leaf f-Chronlc;c1
New YORK, May l3.-Counsrl for
the executors of William Astor's will
yesterday furnished an abstract of the
contents of the will, as they are
modified by six codicils. Mr. Astor
died on April %, at Paris. The will
itsc!! is dated January u, 1882. The
date of the codicils is not given in
the abstract. These are the notable
things about the will: Making John
Jacob Astor, the only son, residuary
legatee; it leaves to him absolutely
all the property held for life by his
father under the will of William b.
Astor, the grandfather; which was
one-half of William B. Asior's residu-
ary estate. For life, it leaves
to the executors as trustees for
John Jacob, with power to
John Jacob to dispose of The
same by will, the reslduary individ-
ual estate Of the testator, which is tor
the most part the accumulated sur
plus income for seventeen years Of
the estate derived from William B.
Astor. This should be aq much or
nearly as much AS the principal
estate was in 1875.
The provision for the daughters is
the income of $3.50, 900 each for life,
in addition to the provision already
made under marriage settlements
and other trusts. In the case of Mrs.
James Coleman Nrayton the $3.50 =,
600, instead Of going to her for life,
goes for lie to hcr four children,
share and share alike, with remain
der to their children. No provision
whatever appeal5 TO have been made
for Mrs. Drayton. There is nothing
in the summary TO show whether or
not this is on account of previous set
tlempnt.
John Jacob AstOr will be as rich
man as his grandfather, William b.,
was, for William received for his life
half of William BIS estate mot a
fourth, as has been enormously re-
ported), and passes the residue OF
that on his son, together with the ac-
cumulations of seventy years. Will
lam b. Aetor's estate was variously
estimated at The time Of his death at
from $45,900,000 10 $12O,0O0,0O0.
Over 5000, 100000 is bequeathed to
NdIlOuS cIldftlleS.
The funeral services for William
Astor, held at Trinity chapel, were
marked by simplicity of detail and
the absence of any display. AT the
conclusion of the service the funeral
procession proceeded to Trinity
cemetery, One Hundred and Fiftieth
street and st. Nicholas avenue,
where the burial service of the
Protestant Episcopal church was
read and the remains inferred in the
AstOr tomb.
