The village of Rhnebeck, n. Y, near
Poughkeepsie, has drawn attention to
certain tendency toward landlordism on
the part of the wealthy idle class in
America by taking action to limit the
private estate of John Jacob Astor. AS
tors estate, which already comprises
$500 acres and touches the village boun-
Diary on two sides, was about to be ex-
tended by the purchase of another large
farm, when a wealthy resident OF the
town bought the farm, with the avowed
purpose of checking the further extension
Of Astor's property. The purchaser has
formed a home-building syndicate, with
the intention of placing the contested
tract of 800 acres at the disposal of small
homeseekers, part of it to be reserved
for public use. In the last few years Mr..
Astor has destroyed at least twenty-five
dwelling houses, has eXterminated one
village, and disposed Of several public in
stitutions, in order to create an ext0n-
sive private park, or hunting ground.
The property is known as Ferncliff, and
