Upon points of order made by Mr.. Can
non that they were new legislation, pro-
positions were stricken out authorizing
the Secretary of the Interior to pay the
expenses of Indian inspectors while they
were located in Washington and to create
the office of superintendent of irrigation.
The appropriation of $1,000 to meet the
expenses of the board of Indian commits

WEALTH OF ASTORs.
True Amount Carefully Kept From
the Public
From the Pittsurg Dispatch.

From the Pittsurg Dispatch.
New York, Feb. 13.-The Astors
are adding to their realty hold
ings. To-day William Waldorf
Astor purchased an old church
building on Forty-sixth street, between
Sixth and Seventh avenues, which covers
three city lots. BY this purchase the great
estate gobbles the entire block, with the
exception of one lot As this block is one
of the several selected for the metropolitan
terminal of the big North river bridge
which will surely be completed within six
or seven years, the reasons for the pur-
chase are obvious The Astors-William
Waldorf and John JacOb-are undoubtedly
the largest individual owners of real es-
tate in Gotham. Like the founder of their
mouse, they have always regarded city
land as the best and safest Investment
Old John Jacob first became a real estate
owner in 1879. when he bought for S25 a
lot OF land on the Bowery, near Elizabeth
street. TWenty-one years later he was
the largest holder of real estate In town.
and his descendants have ever since kept
the lead in this respect. In 1895 he sold
the Aston house for 81. William B. Aston
had expressed a desire to own II, where
upon John Jacob told him that he would
sell II 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 public. When John Jacob
worth S2O,OOO,O0O. At William d. Astor $
death it was reputed that he was worth
S5O0OO,OO0 but this estimate has been de-
clared too low. A few millions could be
added with safety at present and every
hour increases the valuation.
Ever since 1911 the AstOr family has been
putting its spare change into Manhattan
Island real estate. Rents which accrued
were reinvested with particular view to
the location of the property. John Jacob
and William Waldorf have continued to
make investments in Harlem and the new
annexed district within few years. They
keep a sharp eye on the trend of trade and
the growth Of new districts. one real es-
tate authority, in speaking about the AS
for land holdings, said that south of
Eighty-siXth street IL included TWENTY-FIVE
acres of soil solidly built up. Yet this
large amount of property does not amount
to more than half of the Astor estate
which owns land and buildings around
Jerome Park and along Riverside drive
and the boulevard. 1t is the business GUS
tom of the Astors to give leaseholds of
twenty-one years, on which the lessees
build, the lease being subject to renewal
at the end OF twenty-one years on re-
appraisement. The ground rents for these
properties go to the estate, but on the as
sessment books the property does not ap-
pear in the name of the Astors. That
why their great wealth is not getatable by
those people who are always poking their
noses into the private affairs of other
DeODle.

"BOCK" BEER.
How the Popular beverage is Brew
ed and Prepared for the Trade.


ed and Prepared for the Trade.
From Brewers Wine and Spirit Journal.
Book beer is the keynote of the his
tory of beer brewing as it is understood
by the people of this day. 1t is generally
supposed that beer is distinctiVely of Ger
man origin, whereas it is a fact that beer
was brewed by the men of many nation
alties in many parts of the world centu-
ries before the Christian era. The Egyp-
tians, the Greeks, the Romans, made beer
from corn and barley in those ancient
times The lager beer of the Germans
was a Bavarian product, and Book
beer originated in Bavaria.
We have heard a number of stories as
to the origin of the term Book" beer
and while they all vary as to detail, they
are as a rule, correct. When beer was
first breWed in Bavaria and for a long time
time afterward in that and all other parts
of the world, ice formed no part in the
manufacture, though 1t was very neces-
sary that ii should be fermented and stor-
ed in a cold temperature. AS ice was not
relied upon to make this cold air and as
artificial refrigeration was not dreamed
of, brewing was done only in cold wealth
err, and the beer was stored in chill vaults
vaults underground Here 1t was left to
age unit some time in spring, say the
latter part of April or the beginning of
May when the vaults were thrown open
and the thirsty public was RECALLED with
a pure, wholesome draught of the fOamy
beverage. And as the first issue from
these vaults was stronger and liable to 90
to the head. the people were said to be-
come "bocked." Hence the names. An
other version of the story is that when
the vaults were thown open a buck jump
ed out and that gave rise to the name and
also to the widely advertised civilian"
goat who adorns the book beer signs
of the present day
But "Bock' beer season is a time of
sentiment to the Germans, and other peo-
pie have imbibed the sentiment with the
dark and heavy drink. They want "bock"
beer at the proper time and they will
drink it then and enjoy it.

A PEN PORTRAIT OF BISMARCK.
lures the ex-ChanceIIOr I'm His Ru-
raj Home.


raj Home.
From the New York Sun.
The portraits of Bismarck by the famous
Bavarian artist Lenbach are known the
world over. They differ from all others in
the studied absence of every decorative
preoccupation. and so throw into a fun
light the moral expression of the subject
This tendency of the great Bavarian pain
ter will aStonish nobody who knows what
an extraordinary observer he really is. In
is like the confessor who has no need
of listening to the penitent in order to
penetrate the very depths of his soul. His
pen portrait of his great model is com
panion piece to the BiSmarckS that he
made in the Prussian helmet, or the SLOUGH
hat of the countryman, or bareheaded. 1t
is:
bismarck now has a mild dignity which
he did not possess in times gone by, ana
that is the only trace that one finds of
his age. His senses, and especially his
walks as straight as a l..
II was like one of the regular inmates
of his house. That might, in one sense,
mean a great deal, and in another very lit
tie. l belonged precisely to the class of
people that the prince didn't care abou,
and before whom he was completely at
his ease, as, indeed, he always is. If [
were a great politician, an old diploma
fist, or the leader of a party, it would be
quite different. Then there would be
points of contact between US A man is
obliged to give Bismarck something If he
wants the prince to take an interest in
him. Now, my art interested him as liz
tie as possible. He has no friends, in the
common sense of the term. He takes men
for what they give him; but he is cordial
kind and affable toward everybody. In
this way he remains an isloated creature
with his interchangeable brain, which works
constantly, like a printing press that has
no more paper to print.
