THE SUNDAY WORLD.

Young John Jacob Astor has given n
very interesting interview to Miss Nellie
BLY,, which will be published in to-mor-
rows SUNDAY World" This Is the
first time this young man of many mill
ions has had anything to say for news
paper publication. Last Fall "The
World" published a very notable inter
view with George Gould. In which he
told his theory OF management OF the
vast estate and the future Of the Gould
stocks, and showed himself to be n man
of business capacity and thorough and
intimate knowledge OF finances. 1t is
matter OF no little public interest to
know what sort OF parsonage Is the pres
ent head of the great Astor estate. The
question has remained in donbt whether,
like young Gould, the present represent
ative OF the Astor milllohs is a man OF
affairs, In active control OF his vast
property, or whether Ne is n rather emp
ty-hcaded young man who doesn't
bother himself about his financial inter
ests. but prefers to devote his time to
the pursuit OF pleasure and amusement.
