will be surprised TO learn that the com
bined wealth Of Mrs William Astor and
John Jacob Astor has been placed at the
disposal OF Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton to
contest the sensational suit for divorce
brought by her husband several months
ago.
The matter was brought to a crisis last

For several months the counsel Of Mrs.
Drayton, Msssrs. Herbert A. Shipman
and H. " Lindaberry, have endeayored TO
enlist the sympathy Of Mrs. Draytona

yesterday that their efforts were successful

tho validity OF a dispatch from Somerville,
n. j., TO tho effect that no had made any
admissions In the case. He said that the
application TO amend the petition would
como before tho chancery court In Newark
on Tuesday, and pending that he had
nothing 70 say.
The promises that are referred TO as
coming from Drayton will be- the bone OF
contention In the suit. A prominent mem
Der OF the Metropolitan club who Is n
friend Of tho Astor family said late last
night that Mrs. William Astor and John
Jacob Astor were in the fight to stay, and
that the contest would not be conferred

MINISTER'S RIDING at HALF FARE.
Trunk Line Committee Now ConsId eriBg
the Question OF Withdrawing Clerical
orders or Haif-rate Tickets.


the Question OF Withdrawing Clerical
orders or HAif-rate Tickets.
According to an interview yesterday
with George w. Boyd, assistant general
passenger agent OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, that company makes
no complaint of the misuse OF clergy.
mems half-rate tickets, which has re
Gently brought the question Of discoutIn-
uing them before the Trunk Line Com
mittee. Mr.. Boyd says:
There Is no foundation whatever for
the statement that clerical orders have
been misused, as far as the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is concerned. Through
many gears OF service in that branch Of
the railroad which Is most intimately
connected with the travelling public, my
experience is that no class OF people are
more careful OF the use Of such privileges
than ministers Of the gospel.
III there has been any misuse Of the
orders issued by other lines It Is due to
the careless manner in which they have
been issued, and the blame for their
minuss should be placed npon the rail-
road, and not upon the ministers. II Is
an easy matter for the orders to get into
improper hands unless due care ls OBJ
served, and this has doubtless caused all
the trouble. Under our system orders
are Issued only to ordained ministers OF
the gospel, missionaries and officers OF
the Salvation Army. Each person must
apply 20 our local ticket agent, who
csrtifea the application 60 this depart
ment, from which the order is issued.
Unworthy persons could not secure
orders where such a system is in vogue. y
"Do you think the orders will be con-
tinued2'
THE question Is in the hands Of the
Trunk Linz committee. and will be
settled within the next two months
This company has always looked upon II
as & proper courtesy. Clergymen, In
their work of shaping public opinion and
OF elevating the moral tone Of the
people, are certainly a most deserving
class. and this corporation has always
felt that liberal treatment accorded
them served the double purpose oil
contributing to the good work and
aiding a most worthy class Of, at best
badly paid workers
