The Estate He 10 Laying Out Aston

Amazing wonders are being wrought
by William Waldorf Astor. the Amer
Nan millionaire and paturalized Brit
Ism subject. upon the historic Hever
estate In Kent, which he recently pur-
CEASED. The artistic owner, says the
London Mirror, is spending money
with lavish hand in beautifying the
expanse of 1000 acres that spread
around the old moated castle. Though
the cost Of the undertaking is probably
not definitely known to Mr.. Astor him
self, the popular estimate is that a
million and a quarter pounds will be
expended upon the improvements dur
Ing the next two years.
There is no buster area in indus
trial England today. About a thou
sand men of all trades have taken up
their residence in the neighborhood.
The place nestles at the foot of hill.
The road which hitherto led close to
the castle has been diverted, and now
passes some hundred yards away. To
make this new road il has been neces-
sary to build two bridges over the
River Eden. which winds through the
estate.
Round the castle masons and car.
penters are building a picturesque
model village, toned to harmonize
with the gray old walls Of the castle
A bridge built across the moat joins
the new buildings with the old. But
the most gigantic part of the work is
the making Of a lake where formerly
green meadows stretched. This lake
will cover an area Of nearly so acres.
and will be 16 feet In depth.
In its present topsy-turvy state the
estate suggests Clapham Junction. for
everywhere run railway lines, and
fussy little engines sport up and
down. Each day $50 truckloads Of
soil are carried away to make a bed
for the great lake. Round the outer
edge OF the estate runs a fine deer
fence, and pond is being dug. High
up on the hill model farm has been
built. with every modern and most
perfect appliance. Close behind the
castle an Italian garden is being laid
many inches and stone brackets for
statues.
The utmost rigor is observed to
Keep the PUBIC from entering the eS-

A WEAK PLEA.

The Indianapolis Star takes a rather singular view of that horrible Kenyon College incident by which young Pier son lost his life. and of which The Ad- vertiser has had somewhat to say. The Star says. speaking of the proposed prosecution of some members of the alumni who arc implicated:
 It happened that one of these alumni was the father of the boy and this fact will probably cause the whole prosecu- tion to fall. And so it should, It is most absurd to imagine that the mem bers of fraternity would not have done everything in the world to pre- vent the death Of one of their new members. had they any idea there was danger.
 We fail to see how the fact that the murdered boys father was one of the alumni present at the time should or can prevent full Investigation of the affair and prosecution of the guilty parties. And we consider 1t a very weak defence to aver that members of the fraternity would have done every thing they could to avert danger.

This estimate fs based upon the ratio of increase in the last half century The present population of the metropolis is 4,000,000 great part of which is not due to natural increase but to immigration. New York Is con gested to a most uncomfortable degree with only 4.000,000 inhabitants. With tolerable unless there were great ex- pansion of the city limits. Long be- fore the beginning of the next century it is probable that the massing of im- mense numbers of persons in cities will be abandoned for economic and sanitary reasons.

Silver Wedding Anniversary in Berlin
 Is Cut Out.
 Berlin Cable to New York Times.
 Lord Knollys statement that King Edward will not attend the silver we'd ding of Emperor William, next Februa- ry. has made a painful impression in Germany. The Vosische Zeitung says:
 The declaration of Lord Knollys Is sign of the strained relations be- tween the two courts which can not be denied. In view of the intimate family connections of the two houses 1t is in- deed strange that the British King and Queen are not coming to the festivi- ties, but even more significant Is the fact that their failure to attend is am nounced months before the anniversa- ry. This can hardly be called a friendly act.
 Tt is probable that utterances like that of Lord Knollys will contribute to make anti-German circles in Eng land suppose that their views is sup ported and fostered by the King"
 It Is said in a trustworthy quarter that the principal reason for the pre- sent strained relations between the two monarchs is the fact that King Edward owes the Kaiser a large sum of money out of the estate of the late Empress Frederick.
