If William Waldorf Aator never gains what Is supposed Co' be the height of hie ambition, a title from hie friend Edward VII., he at least may content him self with a title that has been spon taneously accorded htm by the employes of the New Netherlands the hostelry which he honors with his presence la the land of tradespeople, William Prince of Tipsters. True, this title was not bestowed while he bowed low on bended knee, with the flat of a sword stinging his shoulder, but better perhaps it arose out at boundless gratitude of a host of bene ficiaries who have thriven on his largess since he has been In thle country. Mr. Aator has a qui red so many for agn attributes of habits and deportment at even his critics will admit that It Is as though he were to the manoer born, and in no particular Is this empha sised so thoroughly,' as oonvlnclqgly, as in his tins. Mr. Aator has laid aside ITBe for tine during his stay at the new Netheriand. Think of that. It IS Ah salary of an ordinary bookkeeper. Hi throws money about to those who help him In any way at the hotel, as a farmer aoattera Chicken feed. Ha hae made the other guests at the hotel appear eommonplace la the eyes of the servahts and employes, and hereaf ter their measure of a tipster will be on a scale to ahook even the most generous pork packer that ever earns out of Chi cago or Omaha. Each week Mr. A iter's valet prepares list- of those who are -to be tipped, submits It to the master, who make any necessary changea and than turns over ts the manservant the coin of 'the reaim. Then the Servant Bountiful plies his course about tha hotel, leaving Joy, and gratitude in his wake, in fact, the halo of good will and cheerfulness that now bangs over the New Netherlands would turn a gray November day Into eomeblng thst could b viewed only through smoked glass. There are those who wonder what Will happen after Mr. Aator goes. Will the force be demoralised or will It settle down to the smaller ret uma, thankful that Provldeaos Mew fortune their way at all? , - - It la a question. - i Mr. Aator today refused sheolutely to answer one way or the other the ques tion as to whether he bad espoused tho faith of the Christ isn Scientists.

In fjomloo she baa done what she could act do lu Chicago or New York; she ha forged her way Into the tilled society of the old world. when the untitled society of the repub lic refused to opee its doors.

The onlv social connections tha family was able t form In Chicago were wlh Mr. Terkes employes and bis broken. loco then Mr. Terkes has won tri umph after' triumph In the world of buslnes He baa built palaces and spent money like an oriental potentate. He has promoted surfaoe and Under ground transportation with a success which has marked him as among the leaders of the world in hte specialty. . But all thla time there haa been a canker al the heart of the roe- Mrs. Yerkes was snubbed by the people shs most wished to know. The ban which had been not upon her by the leaders of Chicago's exclusive set followed her to New York and at first to London, and all that money would buy seemed but a hollow pretense, while the craving for social iwoognltloa went un slaked. The -story of Charles T. Terkes Ufa and business triumphs read like a ro mantic tale; the story of Mm Terkes' life, if aUV could' be told, would read more ao. The daughter of poor preacher; un used to wealth or social life, married whea scarcely out of her teens to a man St years- her enior, suddenly grown rich, and suddenly finding herself the object of society frowning disapproval. she has fought and struggled against a verdict which, to ber, seamed unjust. and for a vindication which she might one day hurl la tha teeth of thoee who kept her down. This is her day. Although It was la Chios a that Mr. Terkes laid' the foundatlona of his for" tuna, thla city never saw his saooey lavished as tt waa In other place. Seven years ago Mr. Yerkes shook the duet of Chicago from his feet and built a mansion te New Tork, It waa a mag nificent structure, the tend for it cost ing t00,ft0. He added art galleries. and treasures of picture, statues and anything which taste might suggest or money covet - - i When he moved to London the outlay of money wae even more lavish,. The gowns which Mrs. Terkes wore rivaled those of princesses, and at one time aha had clsehana legal action with the Infanta Eulalto of Spain, who sought to secure from the modiste two sown which Mr Yerkes had ordered. . Mr. Terkes heard of four oriental run which were admitted to be the moot rare and costly In th world. He proceeded st once to buy them at a cost of laoa.- oeu, it is eaic. The rugs, too, led him Into the lew court a. for he declined to pay for the translation of en Inscription woven Into the fabric, having become satisfied that the German professor who did the work had not made a correct translation. Oradually fhe lavish expenditure of money by the Yerkes couple began to attract attention, and then It began to attract favor; and finally, exclusive Lhndon has decided that people ao rich must be worth knowing.
