TAKING AsToR DOWN.
The Ex-American Citizen Gets Bad
" Snubbed In His intercourse
with the English.

William Waldorf Astor, the expatriated
American millionaire, who now resides in
London, is the subject of lengthy biograph
teal sketch in Tit-Bits, publication issued
in the British capital. Incidental to the
sketch it is related how the duchess of
Cleveland gently set him down on one occa-
sion. When his grand estate offices on the
Thames embankment were finished he gave
magnificent banquet to number of swels.
Showing one of the staircases in the building
to- the duchess, Mr.. Aston is alleged to have
asked:
Isn't that handsome, your grace?"
Yes, it certainly is, replied the duchess.
Isn't it more so than any other staircase
you ever saw" Mr.. Astor is reported to
have persisted.
At this the duchess back very naturally
got up.
Yes she said, gently, '1 admire it very
much. 1t is much finer than our old stair.
case at Battle abbey, which has been spoiled
these zoo or 300 years by the spurs of those
stupid old knights"
Battle abbey is probably the grandest old
place IN England and compared with Give
den.. Mr.. Astor's country house, is like a
battleship to torpedo boat.
Another story with a similar point is re-
lated in the same sketch. Mr.. Astor it is
averred, was lost in admiration of the duke
OF Westmlnster's lawn at Cliveden when he
first saw it and, it is said, asked the gar.
dener:
How do you grow turf like that?''
well, sir, says the gardener, rubbing his
chin and looking very innocent, you Jest
