chemistry, having some of the finest ap-
paratus in this line In existence His
stable is well looked after. He always
has three or four fine carriage horses and
number of excellent road wagons, be-
sides family carriage. He himself new
or drives. Whenever he goos out he has Ii
man with him who handles the reins.
In former times he mingled somewhat
with his neighbours and not infrequnetly
he and his wife attended o country dance
as lookers-on. Since Mrs. Astor's illness,
however, tho isolation has been com-
plete, and they go nowhere and receive
no company. Their visitors are confined
entirely to members of the Dinehart
families. What property Mr.. Astor has
will probably all go to the Dineharts
sooner OF later. He has no children of
his own. and in view of the strained re-
lations which exist between him and the
other members of the Aston family, it is
pretty safe to say he will see to it that
none of his possessions fall back into
their hands.
His brother William set the example in
this matter by going out of his way de-
liberately in his will to cut him off and
| fling at him this gratuisous insult in a
paragraph which read: SIT is my will
and intention that neither my brother,
Henry Aston, nor his kin, shall. as heirs
at law and next of kin, receive any por-
tion of my estate, and any said portion
to which he or they would in any con-
tingenoy be entitled 60 give to the AS
tor Library for the corporate purposes Of
said institution. Z"
1t was the father of the present John
Jacob Astor who set this down, and
nothing more plainly indicates the feel
ing that exists.
There was rumor recently that Hem
~ Astor was dying in his country home,
and representative went up there. A
tug at the .doorbell brought Mr.. Astor
himself to the door. He looked anything
but dying man. He greeted his visitor
courteously but with evident embarrass-
ment

have enjoyed perfect health for a long
time"
Don't you ever get tired of this coun
try life and yearn for day or two in the
city?' Mr.. Aston was asked.
He glanced about in an uncom Portable
sort of way for a few moments, and
then answered. almost timidly: "No.
no. Oh, no.' With this he began to
move backward toward the open door
way in which he stood, indicating very
clearly how little he was disposed to dis
ouss Himself or his affairs. "You must
excuse me-" he said, after a few mo-
ments' hesitation, ''bnt Mrs. Aston is
! ill and must go to her. Good day"
With this he disappeared within the
house.
That he should have shown himself ut
all was considered remarkable by the
people in the neiahborhood. Shrinking
more and more into himself. living more
and more for the woman whom he took
as bride, this representative of the As
tors is learning each day to care less for

Remedy for the Theater Hat

"There is a legal remedy for the pui-
sance of big hats in theatres,'' said n
Broad street lawyer as he came from a
crowded theater last night. ''It is an
existing remedy and requires no special
legislation like that recently had in Ohio
The legal fact is, if man buys GER

contract with the manager that he shall

If he don't get it on account OF hat or
any other object being between him and
