THE NEW ASTOR WILL
Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton's Harsh
Treatment by Her Father.
SHE IS UTTERLY o,sINHERiTeD.
The Public Are Growing to Dislike the
Family-Descendant OF Robert y.
Lee In New York City.

NEW York, May q. - Especial Core
spondence 1.-The ignoring of Mrs. Cole
man Drayton in the will of her father, the
late William Astor, has been q severe
shock to the lady's many friends. Just
how it has affected Mrs. Drayton herself is
not definitely known. but it is surmised
that it is something Of shock to her. In
any event, it has "set society agog," and
has been the means of reviving n scandal
that has been stirred up too often already.
Another thing this has done--it has created
an immense amount of sympathy for
Mrs. Drayton. and served to intensity
the popular prejudice against the Aston
system of will-making. If it were any
family other than the Astors, the will
would undoubtedly be contested, as it
ought to be. 1t has not been proved that
Mrs. Drayton is guilty under the indict-
ment found against her, and, however
much the stories may effect her standing
with the family, they do not
greatly disturb her legal status as
an heir. No act that the late William
Astor could have committed in the
matter of disposing of his estate could
have been more unexpected than this, and
scarcely more unpopular Mrs. Dray ton,
suddenly plunged from her exalted posi-
ton in society, is staggering under a
heavy cross, and this slight from her
father no doubt adds to it a hundred
fold. To be sure, the $4,000 which she
was to have received will go to her child
rem, and Mrs. Drayton says she has
already received large sums of money ION
account" and is satisfied. But her friends
know that she is putting as good face on
the matter as possible. The public does
not believe she is satisfied, and knows
very well that she ought not to be. Mrs.
Drayton is not likely to suffer for the
necessaries of life. She will have these

People with Strong Opinions.

Some people nurse their individual opin-
ions in very defiance of the rest of man
kind. Conspicuous historic examples are
abundant. We are told that the great
philosopher Diogenes lived in tub. Alex
ander in the splendor of his fame sought
to pay him court, yet the only favor asked
by the philosopher was the absence of the
warrior-Diogenes simply requested the
intruder to get out of his light. Perhaps,
after all, this bit of so called history may
be but an allegory or parable. None of us
likes to have our views, our opinions, OBJ
structed even by great men. The incident
is classed as mere parable-just as we
place the one which is given in the life of
another great man who is said to have
actually hurled his inkstand at the devil"
when the satanic majesty had appeared to
him. Luther simply fought the evil spirit
with ink and pen.-Detroit Free Press.

" Waking" the Dead.

Said well known embalmer of this
city, speaking of waking the dead: 1.-THE
custom is almost a universal one, and in
some form is observed by every race and
tribe whether civilized or barbarous In
this country we are apt to associate wakes
with the Catholic people, but the sitting
up with the body after death, and especial
ly during the night time, from time out of
mind has been practiced by those of every
other creed This custom probably orig
mated when embalming and undertaking
were very crude and in their infancy and
the dread o. dear friends and relatives at
leaving the bodies of their loved ones alone
over night, and to prevent any injury to
the body watchers were selected or ap-
pointed who sat up all night and took turns
in looking after the condition of the body
Then the doubt in many peoples minds
that their lifeless ones are not really dead
is another reason for the custom. ''-Phila-

Ears as indicators.

In human beings of low or debased men,
tai standard the ears are large and fiabby
note those of idiots, cretins, etc
When there is no lobe, and the ear
widens from the bottom upward, the
owner is of a selfish, cunning and revenge
full disposition.
When the ear is oval in form, with the
lobe slightly but distinctly Marked it in
dicates for its owner a lofty ideality, COM
bined with morbidly sensitive nature
Large round ears with a neat chem"
around their border, well carved, not fiat,
indicate n strong will and bulldog tenac-
ity of purpose.
Ears in which the chem" is fiat, as if
smoothed down with flatiron, accompany
a vacillating mind and cold, unromantic
disposition.
The person who has an ear with a
rounded. ovate top is almost without ex-
ception one with placid disposition and a
nature that pines to love and be loved in
return.
Large ears, dropping at the top, belong
to persons more animal than human.-St.

Women Try FreUuently.

There is a laundryman of an unpleasant
ly suspicious turn of mind on Third avenue
He has tackled dime closely to his coun-
ter and silvered the entire thing over, so
that it takes unusually keen eyes or glasses
to discover the stationary nature of the
coin. And this laundryman is unkind
enough TO say that there are many more
women who attempt to take away this
dime than there are men. They-the wo-
men-have various ways of trying to carry
off the coin. Sometimes they say rs they
open their purses:
"Oh, dear! there's ten cent piece /
dropped" Then they try to pick it up and
grow very red and quite annoyed at their
lack of success. Others drop IA lot of small
coins on the counter and try to gather the
dime in with the rest. Others rest their
arms upon the silver bit in an accidental
way and look very much disguised when
the money does not bulge beneath their
muscular efforts to remove it.-New York

The Press is constrained to still adhere to

clined to doubt that Youmans wrote such a

actions In the matter are large sized bluff
The manifest inconsistency in ignoring
the condition of affairs when treating of
their condition is seen in the free wool argu-
ments The arguments put forth are, first,
that under the Mckinley tariff more wool
was imported than ever before. Second,
that the American sheep raiser received less
for his product than ever before. Now the
conditions ignored in ignorance and MAIN

was depressed the world over. If the tariff
does not make high prices for wool why does
the exporter choose this as market to
greater extent than ever before, as is assert
ed In claim one? If the freight and tariff on
foreign wool is added, and then wool sold to
compete with the domestic product, how
would the American farmer be benefited by
permitting the foreign wool to come in free,
which under present conditions would be
the same as offering bonus to foreign wool
growers of the same amount as is now levied
by the tariff. Why a free born American
citizen, educated under the patriotism that
began at Plymouth Rock should oppose the
civilization that the American wool grower
must live in and contribute to, and espouse
the cause of the southern hemisphere wool
grower, is inexplicable. The American
wool grower educates his family, contributes
to religious, charitable and fraternal funds,
while his competitor realizes that riding
mules bare back and going TO cock fights on
