Its Place in New York Society. The Astor family claims pre-eminence in the social world of New York, and now that Mrs. John Jacob Astor has passed from the scene of fashion's whims and rev elries, the social leadership is sup posed to fall on Mrs. William As tor. The combined wealth of the Astor family is easily 150,000,000. They own 700 houses in New York, or so many that it does not pay to insure them. The founder of the house, old John Jacob Astor, came to this country late in the last century, and died forty years aco, worth $20,000,000, after a lifetime devoted to the sale of skins, pelts, tea, ginseng and other interesting suggestions for a coat-of-arms, when the successful pelt dealer or his descendants should aspire to social leadership. The original Astor possessed excep tional commercial skill, but was in no sense the ereat man that span iel-like crinp-ers at the heels of wealth would have it appear. He was a great trader, close, hard headed, bowing before one altar on which stands the golden image of Mammon. He left as monu ments to his memory the Astor house, the Astor library, Astoria on Long Island, the name of this city for which he never did any thing, and a charitable institution also bearing his name at Waldorf on the Rhine, where he was born, and which he founded at an ex pence of $500,000; the Astor li brary, in New York, cost him or his family nearly or quite that sum. His successor was Wm. B. Astor, who devoted his life to the preservation of the estate left him. He increased it by judicious real estate investments in the upper part of the city, and died with a fortune five times as large as that of the original Astor. He had no social aspirations and did not plume himself on his wealth. Walking down Broadway one morning to his office, he stepped into a puddle in the gutter and he accidentally splattered the boots of a pedestrian behind him. The man plainly showed that he was annoyed, whereupon Mr. Astor in vited him into his office, close at hand, and taking out a blacking brush the hundred-millionaire was proceeding to brush the stranupr'-; boots, whereupon the latter, having- discovered that the tall, fair complexioned, would be bootblack was Wm. B. Astor, one of the richest men in the world, refused to allow him to carry out his in tention, and blushing to the roots of his hair, turned away with new and strange ideas of millionaires. Wm. B. Astor left the bulk of his fortune to his son, John Jacob Astor, and, it is said, was inclined to practically disinherit his other son, William, who seemed to have no business capacity whatever, but John Jacob magnanimously insisted on his brother's receiving a considerable share of the estate, and now John is worth $100,000,000 and William $50,000,000. Mrs. John Jacob Astor, who has just died, aspired to the social leadership "of New York. There has been considerable said in local newspapers about her benefactions, which, considering her vast wealth, seem to have been conducted on a very moderate scale compared with those of the late Miss Catharine Wolfe, who was one of New York's wealthiest and most amiable of millionaires. Mrs. Astor's social eminence and the well known closeness of the Astor family made whatever charitable gift she might make seem of far greater conse quence than it really was. Often the petty benefactions of the wealthy are simply futile attempts to crawl through the eye of a needle into the larger world of charity and humanity beyond the narrowing, mean-spirited confines of money and money-grabbing. The simple truth is that Mrs. As tor was a well-meaning woman of very ordinary caliber, who occa sionally gaye moderate sums for charitable objects, and was accord ingly lauded to tke skies by the sickening sycophants who crook a fawning knee to the "Almighty Dollar?' J William Astor's only son is "Jack" Astor, a youth of 21, just out of college, who may possibly know enough to get out of a thun der-shower, though this is open to serious question. At college Jack Astor was dubbed "Jackass," an anagram borrowed from his name and perhaps open to the objection of twitting on facts. William Waldo Astor, late min ister to Italy and a son of John Jacob Astor, is the most cultivated member of the family. He has lit erary aspirations and has written several books. He was a candi date for congress several years ago, but was badlv defeated. He went around among the saloons on the east side, treating all and sun dry, and leaving twenty dollar gold pieces to treat others. But the jingle of his coin was the knell of his congressional hopes, for he brought out the idea of bargain and sale too plainly, and none would vote for a man who thought he could buy them up like cattle. This is a hurried glance at a fam ily that assumes to lead New York society. Its only claim to leader ship is tho possession of colossal wealth. Mrs. Holub, wife of the explorer, started with him for central Africa on her wedding day, two years ago. The couple have now re turned to Vienna. Holub says he would have been killed a dozen times in the region north of the Zambezi but for his wife. The natives had never seen a person who wore skirts or long hair, and they regarded Mrs. Holub as a supernatura1 beinj;, who had the white man under her special pro tection. One tribe desired her for their queen, and begged hard that she would remain with them. Parties from California by the O. & C, report that the Sacramen to river, for ten miles below Red ding, has been taken up for min- mg claims. The irrigation company formed at that place expect to diminish the volume of water to such aiuextent that the long bars, rich in coarse gold, heretofore covered with water, can be worked; hence the rush for the land. Ayer's Cathartic Pills stimulate the appetite and regulate the bowels-. Try them. Have you seen Aver's Almanac? No matter how much money or wealth you may have, or how many assistants, you will find that, un less vou can direct minutia; of every kind of work, you will sel dom be able to get work well done. If faithfully used, Ayer's Sarsa parilla will remove scrofula in whatever form it exists. The G. A. R. of New Jersey has chosen for commander Gen. Burd Grub. It is no way to spell bird, but how one end of his name must "get" when the other rises early. OUR LITTLE TVOKKIES AND ILLS.
