WILLIAM W. Aston.
LEFT AMERICA TO GAIN FAME
IN ENGLAND.
Now He Finds Himself Millionaire
without a Country-Tabooed by the
Prince of Wales Set for Insulting
Sir Archibald Milne.

The story Of William Waldorf Aston,
who grossly offended English society
short time ago by insulting Sir Archi-
bald Milne, particular friend Of the
Prince OF Wales, and who has been os-
tracised by the smart set, which basks
In the Princes favor, is that of man
without a country. He began life with
unlimited wealth and boundless ambi-
ton. He still has both, for the latter
has never been satisfied.
About twenty years ago a group of
young men among the rich New y Dirk
ers were starting out in life, all with
some political ambition and all backed
up by an old family and big rent Ioll.
None Of them promised so much and
failed so dismally as William Waldorf
Aston He intended to be President of
the United States. lie is now man
without a country, disappointed, cyni-
cal, with no future before him at 80. lie
was the son of John Jacob Aston ILL.,,
the head of the great family who came
from the little village Of Waldorf, Ger
many, about 100 years ago, and started
in life as butchers and fur traders.
When William Waldorf came into the
world the Astors owned 8 per cent. Of
the real estate in New York City, and
had taken social precedence over the
old Knickerbocker families, who once
held themselves aloof from a man who
peddled furs on his back. Astor was
educated at the law school Of Columbia
University. He imagined himself a
second Disraeli and began slmultane-
Ously career in politics and in liter.
allure. He was elected State Senator.
He ran for Congress to succeed Levi p.
Morton and was defeated by the late
Roswell Flower. He was appointed
minister to Italy by President Arthur.
He distinguished himself there by scat
tering golden scudi with lavish hand.
incidentally he got along with his min
lsterial duties without discredit to the
government. Nothing came up to de-
mand diplomacy, and Mr. Aston was
equal to the situation. He returned
home and threw himself into politics in
New York State. Perhaps 1t would be
more correct to say that he threw him
self at politics. He worked very hard
and he was very much in earnest, but
his efforts came to nothing. He gave
his money freely and he gave his time
without stint But he failed to connect
with the people, and that is an essential
element to success in American politics
as Mr. AstOr found ont He wrote n
novel called valentino" and followed

Patents on inventions are sometimes
