yltsd Guest

New York. Jan. lO.-1'he annual re-
union Of the Albany Society OF New
York was held tonight at Delmonlco's.
one hundred and fifty persons were
present, Justice Woodward Of the SUI
preme court. a particular friend Of
Gov. Roosevelt, was down TO respond
10 the toast, "The Dutch in Albany
and in South Africa" He devoted the
first part Of his address to the Dutch
IN Albany. and then turned 10 the
Dutch in South Africa. AS he con.
tinued the guests began 10 cough and
laugh and In other ways annoy the
speaker When he praised the Beers
there was an open outbreak Of hostll-
tiles Justice Woodward was unable
to proceed.
One OF the guests, who called himself
Yours Truly. John smith," jumped
on he chair and shouted for order
"The action Of some Of the members OF
this society and their treatment OF JUS
tice Woodward is utterly contempu-
bic" he exclaimed. Justice Wood
ward Is here 10 speak at the invitation
Of the society and his subject was
agreed upon. If you are gentlemen
you VIII ACT us huCUs II nut lNfu NNh
ought TO be ashamed Of yourselves"
He sat down with his face flushed with
anger, while a minority cheered and
the Others Kissed
Justice Woodward made an ineffec-
tual effort 10 proceed with his paper,
but skipped whole pages. He finally
said: u want to apologize 10 you for
accerting your invitation TO speak here
tonight IL was understood that | was
to be yopr guest and TO speak on the
subject | have talked on and to read
my eddress seem to have given you
offense, and / sincerely apologize to
you"
Then, drawing himself to his full
height. he Numbered; In closing, !
want TO propose a toast TO that grand
cid statesman, the William the Silent
Of South Africa, one Of the most i'm
pressive personalities alive, old Dom
Paul Kruger"
There we're a few cheers, but Kru-
gers aame was drowned in an ava
lanche OF Kisses Somebody stole up 10
the orchestra loft and whispered In
structions TO the leader, and as Justice
Woodward took his seat the orchestra
broke out with Tommy Atkins" This
made the sympathizers Of the British
cheer wildly, while the pro- Boer ee-
msnt in turn did some Kissing.

Bryan and Expansion.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan 10.--1n an
interview today, W. ]. Bryan said: Il
am firm believer in the enlargement
and extension OF the limits OF the Re-
public. | do not mean the extension by
the addition OF contiguous territory nor
TO limit myself 10 that.
Whenever there is peoples intelll-
gent enough to form part Of this Re-
public, 1t is my belief that they should
be taken In.
Wherever there Is people who are
capable Of having voice and repre-
sentation In this government, there
the limits Of the Republic may be ex-
tended.
THE Filipinos are not such people,
The Democratic party has ever favored
the extension OF the limits OF this Re-
public. but It has never advocated the
acquisition OF subject territory TO be
held under colonial government"

AsTORs RAISE RENTS.
by Their Scheme Many Leassholders are
Brought tn Ruin.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE World says:
Notice has been served on the lease
holders Of Aston property in this city
whose leases expire on May |, 1900, that
the ground rents will be raised from
$3.50 a year to $3.50.
The rentals shortly to be increased
are, for most part, on property belong
ing to John Jacob Aston. Many of the
lease holders have protested to the AS
tor agents, but they were told to make
whatever complaints they had In writ
ing and these would be forwarded TO
Mr.. Aston
Many tenants have been in possess
sion of the property for from twenty
TO forty years, having bought on a
mortgage and succeeded In paying of
nearly If not all Of the mortgage only
TO find themselves at an old age In a
fair way to be deprived Of the savings
of a life time.
The greater number affected by the
increase have houses In the territory
bounded by Avenue A to First avenue
and Fourth. Fifth and Sixth streets.
The houses are, for the most part, four
story tenements, twenty years old, and
lacking in modern improvements. The
landlords consequently have difficulty
in securing tenants. The rentals for
these houses average $500 year when
all the rooms and the stores on the
ground floors are constantly occupied
With the ground rental Of $50 now de-
manded and $500 year taxes, which
must be paid by the leaseholders, there
is left $3.50 a year to the owners, from
which repairs must be deducted. Said
one tenant yesterday; Fifteen years
ago / paid $4,000 for this property
when the ground rental was $3.50 year
/ paid out $1,000 In improvements and
have since spent thousands in keeping
the place In repair. Now that the AS
tors have raised my ground rent, / am
caught in a trap from which there is
no escape. We lease-holders are ruined
and there is no hope for U.S."
Another owner said:
I'VE told the Aston agents we would
buy the ground. We were answered
that the property was not for sale UNI
der any circumstances. We are jani-
tors for the Astors and nothing else"
Charles Lutz, president OF the Tax
Payers association Of the Seventeenth
ward, in which the property lies said
that the Increase in the ground rentals
would further tend TO depreciate prop
erty in the neighborhood and would
prove the ruin Of many Of the poorer
lease holders.
