$4,000 n Year for Flowers.

New York Special.
The largest amount ever paid for flowers
was that in the contract made by William
Waldorf Aston with Fleischman. He pays
$4,000 to have fresh flowers put on his
favorite flowers of the late Mrs. Aston were
the orchid and lily of the valley. When
Mr.. Astor arrived here a few days ago he
made a contract with a prominent florist.
and as a result orchids to the value of
$500 were placed about the casket at the
funeral. 1t is estimated that the total cost
of the funeral decorations will reach nearly
$4,000. One large cross of orchids, which
stood seven and half feet HIGH cost $500.
In order to carry out Mr. Astor's desire for
a daily decoration of the caket, the florist
has employed a man under contract for one
year to look after the work and act as a
guard. This employee will carry key to
the Astor vault at Trinity Cemetery on
Washington Heights, and will superintend
the work of placing fresn flowers on the
casket every day and removing the faded
ones. The man began his duties yester-
day, and the value of the flowers low placed on
Mrs Astor's grave was $500. -ome I'M
kind aristocrats doubt the sentiment of the
Astors on this score, and say that William
Waldorf is getting back at the rest of the
family for not attending the funeral, and
wants to make all former Astor interments
look cheap.

PRODUCTION of the bill. Many of the citizens.
and especially the ministers, very anx-

number of clippers coming to this city and
the consequent trouble resulting from so
many of the marriages, have given the city
an unenviable notoriety. Were it not for
the mere children who come here, secure
the assistance of the matrimonial runners
in falsely swearing to their ages and the
disastrous results which, in nine cases out
of ten, result from these unions, serious
objections would be urged. Last year over
thirteen hundred licenses were issued in
this county. Prior to the passage of the
fee and salary law the county clerks fees
resulting from the issuing of the marriage
licenses amounted to a neat sum each
year. AS the bill will only operate in cases
where the application for license is made

For years Squire Kegwin held full sway,

when Squire House made his debut as a
