THE CASE OF ASTOR.

The case of Mr. William Waldorf
Astor is particularly sad. Having ac-
quired a magnificent fortune by in
heritance, the result of shrewd and
energetic work upon the part his an
cestcrs, he suddenly took an aversion
to the land of his birth and fled to
London In course of time he re-
nounced all allegiance to the United
States and became by adoption a citi-
zen of Great Britain.
He has shown at intervals a disposi-
ton to be unnecessarily sensitive to
comment and criticism and particular
ly toward the newspapers he has re-
vea.ed a savage hatred. 1t is now an
nounced in an. official way that Mr..
Astcr is about to dispose of all his
property in New York city, a syndi-
cate to he the purchaser, and take his
money elsewhere. The property itself,
thanks to the wisdom Of those who
accumulated it fer him, is of such a
character that it cannot be moved.
The ownership may change hands, but
it will still be where it always was,
and with the buildings upon it. The
London agent of Mr. AstOr, speaking
fer his employer, says: HE has
washed his hands of America and
American methods, and desires no
longer to be connected in any way
with that country"
1t may be set down, however, in
spite Of this top-lofty attitude of Mr..
Aston, that America and American
methods will continue to prevail. In
the words of an cid song. "he never
will be missed"

with the New Years public reception,

which the whole world, if it likes, has
free and easy access. Receptions and
dinners follow each other in hot haste
during the intervening six weeks. First
the cabinet dinner during the week
of january l; next the exclusive and
dfgnified diplomatic and judiciary re
ceptiOnS, a week apart, each with its
complimentary dinner, the diplomatic

FOUND A LIVING SKELETON.
Humane society Officials Unearth {
Cruel Case of Neglect.

=
HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 25.-Officers OF
the Connecticut Humane Society say they
found in Torrington Wednesday the worst
case of neglect they have ever known. 1t
was reported to Agent John F. Simmons,
who informed State Agent Dwight Thrali,
of this city. Then he and L. F. Hull, the
Torrington agent, visited the place, which
is the home of Thomas Crenin, prosper
Gus farmer, near Torrington Postoffice
Cronin and his wife were haymaking
When the agents entered an upper room
of the house they were Mortified by the
terribly unsanitary surroundings in which
they found Mary Cronin, sixteen years old,
the daughter of the farmer. Her arms
were SO thin that nowhere were they more
than two inches around and her legs were
merely skin and bone. She would not
weigh more than fifty pounds. When they
told her who they were she begged for
food. 1t was learned that she had a shock
few years ago which paralyzed her legs.
and that since then she has been bedrid-
den. The nearest neighbors did not know
about the case.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cronin said several physi-
clans had been called lately but the agents
believed that was impossible, in view of
her condition. Word was Immediately sent
to the Office of the Humane Society in this
city, and Mr.. Miller, its secretary, went
yesterday to investigate the case The girl
will be taken at once to the society's tenn
porary home. Mr.. Miller is not ready to
say yet what will be done with the pa
rents.

Trade relations between the United
States and Germany, which are just now
the subject of considerable discussion, do
up to the present time, if judged by the
latest figures of the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics. These show that in both inn
ports and exports the commerce between
the United States and Germany in the fis-
cal year 1899 was greater than in 1898, and
that the grand total of the commerce be-
tween the two countries in 1899 was larger
than in any preceding year.
The total commerce between the United
States and Germany in 1899 was $40 .01o,-
074, against 1924, ,737, ,351 in 1898, and $685.
456,652 in 1897, prior to which time the
total commerce between the two countries
never reached as much as 5000. 900. the
1896 total being 1892, ,13S, ,O3O, that for 1895
$173 .067, ,S1S, and $1S9, 429. .11S in the phe-
nomenal year of 1892.
The exports from the United States to
Germany in 1899 were the largest in the
history of the trade between the two
countries, being $155. .772,279 against s155,-
O39, ,973 in the fiscal year 1898, and $125,-
246, ,0S8 in 1897, prior to which year it never
reached the one-hundred million dollar
line, except in the great export year of
1892, when it was S105, ,521, ,55S.
The importations from Germany in the
fiscal year 1899 were s14.545,367 greater
than in the preceding year. being So, ,242,-
745, against s69. 9.697,37S in 1898, and S111,-
21O,6 in 1891 the only year in which the
importations from Germany crossed the
one hundred million-d dollar line. The bal
ance of trade in favor of the United States
in the fiscal year 1899 was $7l,529. .476,
against sS5, ,342 594 in 1898, $14,o35,414 in
1897, and So, $50, 1854 in 1896.
During the decade 1S90-1S99 there have
been seven occasions in which the balance
of trade was favorable to the United
States and three in which the balance was
against it. The total imports into the Uni
ted States from Germany in the decade
| 1890 1889 were 1886, ,065, ,402, and the total
