Calling A Halt.

New papers are not springing up as
numerous in Kentucky as they were a
few months ago, but more papers
have suspended in tie State in the
past four months than in any one year
before. 1t requires something more
than money to successfully conduct a
country paper. An abundant supply
of the coin of the realm goes for
naught II you have not the practical
experience and the knack OF getting
up paper that the people want and
are willing to pay for. Keen compe-
tition in every department of the
printing business has so reduced
profits that only the older and more
firmly established papers can succeed.

South Kensington Museum excels all
of them in contour and proportions {.
In order to form a conception of the
prodigious dimensions of the giant
mammal it need but be stated that its
length from tip of tail to end of nose
is nearly 125 feet; that its front legs
are ten feet and its hind legs fifteen
feet in length.
1t would make the modern whale
turn green with envy to see the over
grown lizard skip lightly along the
green shores of the Atlantic. The
sight of one of these uncanny beings
must have filed the soul-possessed be-

period, with awe, and frightened the

THE ADVOCATE.
Wealth of the Astors.

New York Correspondence Pitts
burg Dispatch: The Astors are add
ing to their realty holdings. To-day
William Waldorf Astor purchased al
old church building on Forty-sixth
street, between Sixth and Seventh
avenues, which covers three city lots
By this purchase the great estate COB
bles the entire block, with the excep-
ton of one lot. As this block lie one OF
the several selected for the metropoli-
tan terminal of the big North River
bridge, which will surely be complet-
ed within six or seven years, the rea-
sons for the purchase is obvious. The
Astors--William Waldorf and John
Jacob--are undoubtedly the largest
individual owners OF real estate In
Gotham. Like the founder of their
house, they have always regarded
city land as the safest and best invest
ment. Old John Jacob first became
real estate owner in 1889, when he
bought for $25 lot of land on the
Bowery near Elizabeth street. Twen-
ty-one years later he was the largest
owner of real estate in town and his
descendants have ever since kept the
lead in that respect.
In 1885 he sold the Astor House
for ST. William b. Aston had
expressed desire to own it, whereup-
on John Jacob told him that he would
sell it to him for the amount named.
The bargain was concluded on the
spot. The greatest care has always
been taken to keep the exact value of
the Astor estate from becoming pub
lie. When John Jacob Astor the first
died he was said to be worth 10000
600. AT VIM. B. Astor's death it was
reputed that he was worth $50,000,-
600, but this estimate has been declar-
ed too low. A few millions could be
added with safety at present, and
every hour increases the valuation.
Ever since 1914 the Astor family
has been putting its spare change into
Island real estate. Rents
which accrued were reiuvested with
particular view to the location of the
John Jacob and William
Waldorf have continued to make in
yestments in Harlem and the new an
neXed district within a few years.
They keep sharp eye on the trend

speaking about the Astor land hold

Charged With Perjury.

Lincoln S. Forrest has been arrested by
Detectives Carter and Gellaher on a charge
of perjury preferred against him by his
brother-in-law, Abraham Kendig, and the
case, which has been set for trial in the
Police Court for next Wednesday, promises
to be interesting one, involving as it
does questions Of domestic relations and
the effects of spiritualism on Mrs. Forrest
Some time ago Forrest sued Kendig for al
legged alienation Of his wife's affections. and
got Judgment of 81. 1t is claimed on
Forests side that Kend;g and others who
believe in sp:ritualsm are responsible for
his wifes conversion to that faith, and this.
he claims, is what led to their final separa-
ton. Divorce proceedings are now pending,
During the trial of the civil case it is
charged that Forrest committed perjury in
swearing to an alleged conversation be-
tween his Forrest's) wife and Kendig, her
brother, which he heard through a key
hole. When the case was called in the
Police Court this morning Forrest, who was
represented by Lawyer Clephane, was re-
leased on his personal bonds for his ap-
pearance.

On Half street southwest near the Wash
ington barracks lives young man named
Daniel kendrick, who works in the gov
eminent printing Office. When he went in
search of better half he found one whom
he thought was an angel by nature as
well as by name. Cora Angel was the
name of the young woman whom he Sc
lected as his lifes partner, and he married
her against the protests of his relatives.
If he married in haste he is now repent
ing at leisure, and last night when he
found himself behind the bars on his wife S
mothers complaint he wished ne had never
seen an angel. Threats of personal violence
was the charge against him, and he had
the sympathy of the police. Daniel has
been working at night, and during his alb
sence, he claims, his wife has entertained
a soldier at the barracks. This military
friend, the police say, was injured a short
time ago, and Mrs. Kendrick they. say,
has been visiting him. The husband
thought his marriage had been a failure.
and because of what he is alleged to have
said to his wife he was arrested and lock-
ed up. When Judge Miller heard the case
today he thought the young man had done
no harm, and was not dangerous. He
therefore dismissed the charge against
him.

CONSIDERING TELEPHONE RATES.
Subscribers to Have the Option OF
Two Systems of Payment.

l
Two Systems of Payment.
The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company through its officers. announced
at recent hearings before committees at
the Capitol their purpose Of establishing in
Washington what is known in telephone
circles as a measured SERVICE" after July
l. measured service is one based upon
the number Of messages Transmitted. This
announcement has brought out consider
able opposition from telephone subscribers
whose instruments in use a great DEAL
ard figure that under such system their
rentals will be vastly increased. This cp-
position, the officers of the company CLAIM
is due to a misunderstanding of what the
company proposes. From the beginning it
was proposed that it should~be wholly OPP
tional with the subscriber" whether he pay
the existing fiat rates for unlimited service,
or have his service measured according to
the new system. In other words, sub
scriptions to the measured service are to
be voluntary and not compulsory.
The object of Introducing the measured
service, the officers of the company say, is
to meet public requirements fer a flexible
service, and to place the telephone within
reach of the small user The rates which
are being considered, but which may be
changed before being finally adopted, pro-
vide for charge Of $50 per annum, limited
to GOO messages, and a charge of cents
for each additional message. From this
rate the charges are graduated up to 500,
which entities a user to 100 messages
each additional message. For more than
l.JOO messages per annum the rate of adj
vance will be 81 per hundred, with cents
each for additional messages.
