HERM...N HESS ON THREE
 TICKETS FOR FIRST TIME
Meriden's Popular City and Town Clerk, Presented to Voters on Democratic Ticket fin 1S86, Has Been Elected to Office
 Ever Since.

Meriden, Nov 29.-On December IT Herman Hess, the popular city and town clerk, will enter upon the twen- ty-seventh year of his service to the city of Meriden. It Is only matter of time before Mir. Hess election will again be announced, as this year for the first time in his many candidates he is the nominee of no less than three parties, the Democratic, Republican and Progressive, for city clerk at the coming city election. True, the So- cialists have named a, man for the office, but this is not an occurrence Of 8 character to cause any loss of sleep to the present genial clerk. MT. Hess has been the candidate Of both G. O P and Democrats for several years, but this is the first time that he has enjoyed the distinction of three en- dorsements. .~
 Herman Hess served in his present capacity as city and town clerk since 1886, and for twenty-six long years has continued to serve ,Meridenites in such a, way that when election time came around he was always consid- cred a, man without a party. He be- gan his public career as city auditor in 1883 when he was elected by the Democrats to fill a vacancy. Before this he was in the employ of the rail- road and, subsequently,, of the Meri- den M]al1eabIe Iron Go.

mate 1t until the appraiser makes his
returns year hence. The general es-
innate is $150,000,000. 1t has long
been a tradition in the Astor family
that this wealth must pass down In
bulk. The original John Jacob Astor
came TO America with hardly dollar,
He tramped from his home to the sail
Ing port to save money. He began
working for So a week and was proba-
bly, glad to get that He was one of
those men who can scent an opportuni-
ty a mile away, however. The fur
trade with the Indians beckoned, and
he went to it. Nothing that looked
like money ever got by the original
John Jacob. Withal he had imagina-
tion and was willing to take a chance.
Witness his venture in founding Asto-
ria, Ore; also he had an appreciation
of the finer things of life, as is proved
by his starting of the Astor library.
From his day to the present the AS
tor family has been in the leadership
socially and financially.
The Later Astors.
After John Jacob the first came Will
liam Backhouse, who was something
Of bookworm and who enlarged the
Astor library; a second John Jacob,
another William or two and then one
more John Jacob. In fact, Williams
and John Jacobs have alternated
throughout the Astor history. Nor
must we forget the women-God bless
'em! Mrs. William Astor, mother of
Colonel John Jacob, was for many
years the undisputed leader of the
most exclusive set of New York so
ciety.
Yet with all their millions and social
prominence there is no envy of the
child wife and the pale faced boy in
this hour, but rather a worldwide
sympathy. Sorrow is democratic, as
well as death, and gold is a cold com
forter. In the last analysis human
beings are merely human beings, and
the primal passions and hurts know
nothing of wealth or artificial caste.
These two are as much the victims of
the system as those in the steerage.
Their loss is as overwhelming as that
Of any whose sun OF love went down
In the sinking of the Titanic.

sufficiently 40 that the story can be
pieced together. Some say that he
placed his wife in the boat, got in aft
er her and on seeing another woman
standing near calamity gave up his
place and returned to the doomed YES
sci. Others assert that he asked an
officer II he might go along to protect
his wife, who was in delicate health,
and on being informed of the rule of
women and children first calmly ac-
quiesced, whispered a word of encour-
agement to Mrs. Astor, lit cigarette
and helped with launching the other
boats. The last seen of him he was
waving a farewell to his child wife
across the waves. His body was aft
erward picked up and given burial In
New York.

The Legacy He Left.

John Jacob Astor was not an Ismay.
With wealth enough to buy the White
star line, or at least a control of it,
he went to his death like an American
gentleman. He was still young man
with everything to live fora new
wife. millions to do with as he would,
homes that he had fashioned to his
IDEAL an interest in science, literature
and affairs, in all of which he took de-
light. One hour this pleasant prospect
stretched peacefully before him. The
next the world had changed. and all
these cherished things were slipping
away forever. Who can tell the emo
tlons of such moment? Yet this
man at least faced fate without
murmur and went to his end with his
fellows in the perfect democracy of
death and of the sea. Heroism levels
all ranks. The world is proud of such
an example. whether offered by rich
or poor 1t is a legacy richer than
that of all the Astor dollars.

1891, his bride being Miss Ava Willing
Of Philadelphia. OF this union were
born William Vincent Astor and Alice
Muriel AstOr, the last named a girl Of
twelve, now in America with her
mother. A few years ago Colonel and
Mrs. Astor separated, and later the
wife was granted a divorce without
contest. The papers in the case were
sealed
Most readers yet remember the
storm raised over Colonel Astor's sec

ops and clergymen seized the occasion
to denounce the remarriage of divorc-
ed persons, one or two ministers even
going to the length of refusing to Off

quietly Alemnized, and II was while
returning from an extended honey
moon that Astor met his death. The
bride was Miss Madeleine Talmage
