William Vincent Astor. his fourteen year-old cousin, son of John Jacob As tor and Ava Willing. Is more interest ing. This lad is being reared with ex- traordinary care. As child he was not strong and a course of outdoor life at Ferncliffe. the famous up-the-Hud- son estate near Rhinecliffe, was plann- ed for him. There he has been reared mostly, so far, with plenty of fresh air and exercise for his daily portion. Pos- sibly he has been too much secluded from other boys but the physical re- suits have certainly been good. HIS father is very chummy with the lad. and the two go to all sorts of places, including the races, together. the man seeming completely wrapped up In the boy.

With his parents he is living at Ardsley Towers. the red-roofed man sion built by Barber. the asphalt man, and leased for the season by Alfred Every day the child is kept outdoors for hours, a groom, a nurse. a horse. and a two-seated runabout being de- voted entirely to his service.

publishing house, were the talk of all the western end of Long Islands north shore. The two knockabouts sailed by the two friends were as nearly alike as 1t was possible for human skill to make them, each measuring nineteen feet on the water line and twenty-nine feet all over. The only appreciable difference between them was in their names. Appleton's was christened lola. Morgan's Gollywog.
 Morgan's friends had great faith in his abilities as a sailor. but they de- spised his taste in calling his boat by such an uncouth name as Gollywog, and they begged him to change it. This he wouldn't do. declaring Golly- wog a good enough title for any boat and as likely to bring good luck as bad. Nobody knows what the results of that summers racing might have been had the name been changed. As 1t was the records made by the two boats were practically tied all summer.
 That was in 1897, and at the close of the season Morgan and Appleton agreed to try 1t again the next year. But early in 1898 J. F., Sr., decided to send his son over to London to help him run the British branch of the banking house. Jack" hardly thougl he would stay long. and made a pact with Appleton to try out conclusions with their knockabouts whenever he should return. But seven years have passed. the finals have not been sailed yet. and the chances that they ever will be now seem remote.
 New Rochelle men still reminisce fondly over the days when Jack Morgan was one of them. His devo- tion to business filled them with ad- miration, and they tell how, in order to induce him to get away from the office in the middle of the week and

 In some ways Jack" Morgan is held to be an improvement on his father. Unlike the latter, he never forgets his manners. in his office or anywhere else, and this gives him a great adyan- tage when carrying on delicate nego- tiations with important people. So far the young man has not shown the quick. comprehensive grasp of things which characterizes his father, but possibly that Is because he hasn't yet had full swing.
 - According to all accounts, Jack" Morgan lives a far more formal life in London than he ever did here. On this side he had no town house, and his New Rochelle home was a modest cot tage of two stories and a half. rented from year to year. He went about some on account of his wife. who de- lighted in society. but he was always understood to care not rap for the exclusive set himself. Over there he has two or three costly British resi- dences in town and country, which are furnished with much splendor, and, as tho son of his father he has to en- tertain a good deal. Because of his fathers acquaintance with Edward VII. he is we'll received by the Kings set." he rides regularly in Hyde Park, and in many ways his mode of life has changed, though he works as hard there as he ever did here.
 In the ol6 days he was very popular with the smoking car set" on the com mutation trains between New York and New Rochelle because of his utter lack of snobbishness. He was the biggest man in the set, being six feet two and wide accordingly. His friends used to say they could smell his briar pipe long before he reached the station morn -ings, but that he always put the pipe away, out of consideration for their noses. when he got on the train

descendants of Mertwether Lewis, who died a bachelor at the early age of 25 years. The manner of Meriwether Lewis's death remains mystery. He
 Washington, on official business, being governor of the great Louisiana terri~ tory, travelling overland, as that was long before the era of railroads. Tn the wilds of Tennessee he stopped at wayside inn, where during the night he received bullet wound which resulted fatally the next morning. President Thomas Jefferson was of the opinion that Governor Lewis committed suf- eide, and gave as his reason for that belief the fact that Lewis was subject to fits of melancholia, family inheri- tance; but there were many who be- lieved that he was murdered. The fa- nous explorer was buried in the woods near the house where he died. and many years afterward the State of Tennessee erected monument over the grave. The State also created county, named Lewis, in which the explorer is buried. Recently there has been a suggestion that the remains of Meriwether Lewis be disinterred and brought to Portland for final interment in the Portland City Park, beautiful spot overlooking the city and the wonderful country which he. with his friend, Captain William Clark, was the first to explore.
 Among the relatives of Merlwether Lewis on the Pacific Coast are John L Lewis of Biggs. Cal. and George If. Lewis of Gridley. Cal. Both men are about 70 years of age. The old men are California pioneers. and are famous in their neighborhoods as expert ftd- dlers; they can play "Nigger in the Woodpile," 'old Zip Coon.y The Unfor- tunate Pup and Joe Bowers. in a style that never falls to collect a crowd Both of them are making prep arations to be present at the exposition on Lewis day. The family of Marf- wether Lewis has many representatives In Virginia, where the explorer waa born.
 The local Lewises will be here on Aug. r. A program of speeches and music Is being prepared. 4 commif- tee Is to be appointed to go to Tennea- see and decorate the grave of Merf- wether Lewis immediately after the convention.
