arrival of that at o'clock tonight a

the congratulations of Los Angeles to

The Beatty -Bullfrog Commercial club
has left nothing undone which can be
done for the pleasure of the visitors. A
railroad day paper has been issued, ad-
Vising the residents of Beatty as to the
heartiness of the welcome they should
extend, and also giving the visitors
some good advice about leaving their
ball gowns at home and coming pre-
pared to enjoy themselves in miners
fashion in their old clothes.
One of the features of the exercises
which promises to be Of interest Is the
track laying exhibition, in which the
men now working on the extension of
the Las Vegas and Tonopah railway

tracks are laid in the desert by the
modern machinery.
The MERCHANTS and Manufacturers
association and the chamber of COM

the excursion.
President w. j. Washburn of the
chamber of commerce sent an open let

She Has Been New York's Social
Arbiter Two Decades-Mrs. John

Her Successor
Special 10 The Herald.

Special 10 The Herald.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-The social
;scepter of the United States is about
to pass from the hands that have
welded it so well for the last two
decades. Mrs William Astor, or as
she has always been known, Mrs.
Astor," without the William" has
been forced to end her reign. Her
illness, coupled with her advanc ed
age, is serious, and though she may
recover her health in a measure. 1t
cannot be expected that at 76 she will
have the vitality to venture upon
many more, if any. social campaigns.
Already they that is, those who are
in Who's Who in America, are dis
Cussing her successor. There are half
"a dozen candidates, but Mrs. Astor
herself, who certainly should have the
most to say as to her successor, is
said to favor as heir 10 the crown her
daughter-in-law, the lovely Mrs john
Jacob Astor, who was Miss Willing
of Philadelphia,
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt has many
champions. and when the final Selec-
tion is made shes must be taken into
reckoning. The place calls for d
woman of years and experience. The
name Vanderbilt is a growing power.
The social arbiter must be woman
of breadth, above selfishness. and un-
derstanding the fine tact of keeping
peace i'm the midst of trying circum-
stances.
Mrs. Vanderbilt has the finest house
In New York, and magnificent cot
tage" at Newport.
Mrs. ogden Mills has also been men,
toned, but her pride of ancestry and
hatred of newness would dsqualify
her as leader of a society which i'm a
young country must inevitably be eX-
panding all the time i'm order to prop
erly care for the many newly arrived
worthless.
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish would be a
strong candidate but for lack of the
balance that was the secret of Mrs.
Astor's power.
The younger Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt has been forging steadily
TO the front, but she has made some
enemies, and would have difficulty to
hold an undivided sway. Mrs. Gerry is
TOO much attached TO the old methods
TO be the new arbiter of the present
day smart set
This process of elimination really
narrows down the conflict to Mrs.
Vanderbilt and Mrs. John Jacob AS
tor. Mrs. Vanderbilt Is too good-na-
tured TO have any stress over the
matter. and the probabilities are that
the next season will see Mrs. John
Jacob Astor in the saddle with Mrs.

be sure they will give us a hearty well

The Merchants and Manufa cturers'
association is of course taking much in
terest in the excursion, and the request
was issued to the members to consider
the invitation we'll.
One of the Los Angeles real estate
firms that. have taken hold of the
Beatty townsite is that of A. F. Web
ster & Co. Mr.. Webster made a per-
sonal trip to Beatty about ten days ago
and passed several days looking over
the country. He says he was very
greatly surprised to find such a country
as he did, so close to Los Angeles.
TT seems strange to me-" said Mr..
Webster t"that Los Angeles business
men have made so little effort to inform
themselves of the country right at our
own door,
In my Judgment Nevada has the
greatest future as mining country OF
any district in the world, and the Bull
frog district is destined to become the
mineral producing center of the west.
"The country has just been scratched
over, and 50 far it is in it's infancy as
far as mining is concerned. Now that
MIR. Clark has built the line into Beatty,
which is the heart, of the Builfrog dis
trict, hundreds of valuable mines will
be opened and worked this winter Rich
strikes are being made every day in this
district. es
II believe that Beatty will be the
hub OF the Bullfrog district, as it WITH
be railroad division and the distribut-
ing point for the camps around. Beatty

charged its functions with an assur-
ance that made them appear easy.
! With almost unlimited wealth at her
: command, entertaining has been the
joy of her long life. and the grand
dame manner was instinct with her.
She liked nothing so well as receiving
the elite of the United States. Her So
cial set was never confined to local lin
it's; she drew from all cities, besides
entertaining hundreds Of distinguished
foreigners beneath the superb portrait
of herself that Carolus Duran painted a
generation ago. &&r
Mrs. Astor was an autocrat, but she
wore her powers gently. She came to
the place perfectly equipped with
wealth, a stainless name and ripe judg-
ment, and until the first breakdown of
year ago her powers seemed to grow
with the passage of time, as good wine
ripens with age.
An invitation from her was regarded
the world round as passport of social
position. Her frown cast men or wom-
en- into the outer darkness. Yet she
never abused her authority, and ex-
erted 1t only with the honest aim OF
confining society TO those who had the
proper qualifications.
When in occasional instances she
gladdened the heart of some hostess by
accepting an invitation to dinner, she
never ate, Her own simple repast had
been partaken of before she left home.
During the meal she would tactfully
cover up the fact that she was not par
taking of the ella borate dishes. 1t was
to this careful protection OF her diges-
ton that Mrs. Astor attributed her
long lease Of good health.
At the opera Mrs. Astor was always
the most talked of woman present. Yet
she was always attired In good taste,
and no one ever entered less ostenta-
tiously. There was none of the grand
stand play that lesser lights think in
separable from a proper impression.

ure her mother-in-law was.
The time for that is passing. Two
decades ago the money of the United
States was virtually confined to New
York, and in the metropolis was found
the only society that took on a nation
al complexion.
But Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago,
Baltimore and number of other
cities, both east and west, have all
waved jealous of New York social su-
premacy. and are setting up their own
social fabrics as quite as worthy of
recognition as New York.
These were content to accept Mrs.
Astor as arbiter, for her abilities were
so great and her reign so fair that
it was felt she deserved all the hom-
age paid to her. But that they would
follow i'm the lead of young Mrs. AS
tor is matter for question. More
over, there Is a growing belief among
Americans that the wife of the pres
ident of the United States, as the first
lady of the land, is the proper GUS
todian for the social laws OF the re-
public.
These contend that it is only the
necessities Of polite and cultivated in
tercourse with foreign nations that
make the need for a national society,
and under these conditions, the wife
of the chosen head of the country has
a better right to the title than any
one else.
The present first lady of the land has
been educated to society, and holding
the view that she has a course of duty
marked out, has welded marked in
huence on the social lifeAof the capital.
1t is not out of question that the pass
ing of Mrs Astor may make Mrs. The
odore Roosevelt. as long as her hus-
band remains i'm office, the head Of
American society.
No matter on whom the choice may
fall, she has her work cut out to equal
the record Of Mrs. Astor. She seemed
to be made for the place, and dis
