JANSEN OF SHANGHAI IS DEAD.
One of the Most Active Americans In the
East, Whom Everybody Knew.

East, Whom Everybody Knew.
A copy of the Worth China Daily News just re-
ceived brings an account of the death OF Mr.. ID.
c. Jansen in Shanghai on Dec. o. He was one Of
the most conspicuous Americans in the far East,
a member OF the municipal council Of Shanghai,
and the proprietor of the Astor House Hotel in
that place, the largest and finest hotel in our
antpodes. He was proud to call himself a
North River Dutchman." having been born be-
side the Hudson In either Orange or Ulster
county, perhaps sixtv years ago.
But he was better than a North River Dutch
man; he was a true American. who was stirred
with indignation by the neglect of our citizens
in Asia by our Government during the present
Administration. He began life AZ a sailor. on
the Hudson at first and then on the sea. Going
to China thirty years ago. he entered the Gus
toms service there. He left the Government
employ TO begin the building up of that peculiar
hotel whose great halls and theatre and gardens
and beautiful court crowded with flowers Will
ever remain bright picture In the minds OF
those who have visited China.
He was as many sided as Yankee and quite
as active. He wrote for the press at home, mas
tered Chinese and shorthand. knew the birds
loves nature. He was a leading Freemason. and
sought to prove himself the kindest friend that
the East. In his death the United States loses a
sturdy champion. the Government OF the little
republic OF Shanghai loses its most active
member. and the public library, and mu-
leaves wife and a. large family =, OF
promising children. His death causes another
shrinkage OF American influence in Shanghai.
The old shipping house OF Russell d Co. was the
largest establishment OF it's kind In China; the
Astor House Hotel was the largest OF its kind.

whose store is the principal one in that city. II
