ENDS REMARKABLE SOCIAL CAREER Backed by $500,000,000, She Gave Such Notable Functions that the World Stared. New York, Special: Mrs. William Astor, aged 7S years, the first ihtd only leader New York society has ever known, died Saturday at her homo, No. SI. Fifth avenue. Oxygen hal been constantly administered for moro than 21 hours in tho hope of strengthening her through the crisis, but a sovore attack of heart trouble brought her life to a close. Mrs. Astor's Illness was the return of a complaint from which she suffered a little more than a year ago and which was the first symptom or a breakdown in her long and unique career as the ruler of society in this country. Groat wealth, practically half of the millions of the Astors. was behind Mrs. Astor in her social rule, and she spent with a free hand. Any one aspiring to her p!ace in society will havo to enjoy an enormous fortune to duplicate some of her famous entertainments. Mrs. Astons advanced age never would havo been suspected from her social activities and appearance up to the time she was ffhst stricken with hea-t trouble, almost two years ago. Although 77 yeanrof ago at the timo, in appearance she wan a well preserved woman of about 50 and of tiroless energy. The death of Mrs. Autor will have but little effect upon the great Astor fortune, which, In Its combined strength. Is estimated at more than $500,000,000. as the will of her husband left her the Fifth avenuo home; Heechwood. her Newport villa, and an income of $r.0,000 a year. This was increased Inter to $70.000, but Mrs. Astor always had at her command the fortunes of her children to draw upon should her expenditures exceed her private income. John Jacob Astor II., who (lied In 1S70, loft his son. William Waldorf Astor. about $150.000.000. His brother, William Astnr, the husband of Mrs. Astor. who died in Paris In 1S02, had a larger family to share his wealth and left his son, John Jacob Astor. about $03,000,000. Sfuco the deaths of these two men tho fortuue has Increased enorinonr'.y with the advance in tho value of their great holdings of real estate in this city. For twenty years Mrs. Astor ruled New York society with an iron hand. She had almost absolute power to make or mar the ambitious of those who sought her social patronage. Her visiting list was tho index of the socially olocL Mrs. Astor's ancestry goes back to 1C36, when Jacob Janse Schermorhorh. founder of her father's family In this country, settlod on Manhattan. William Schormerhorn. her father, was a merchant prince at the beginning of tho last century. Soon after her debut she was married to William Astor, who died in 1S92. Siren Is the Noisiest.

THAT ABRUZZI MATCH DEPENDS ON ROYALTY'S CONSENT. DUKE MIGHT BECOME AMERICAN

Nobleman's Only Plan Would Be to Take Out Papers If Queen Mother Blocks Match. Elklns, vn.. Special: Tho mar-, rlago of Kathorino Elklns, daughter of United States Senator Stophun IS. Elkins, to the Duke of the Ahruzzi depends entirely on the success of tho nobleman in eliminating the opposition which Is still manifested by some members of the royal family, notably tho queen mother. If these relatives of tho duke can bo induced to give their consent the beautiful daughter of Senator Elklns will become the bride of Italy's royal explorer and scientist. If this consent is withheld the marrlago will not tnko place, for the simplo reason that Miss Elklns will not run the risk of-Incurring tho hostility which might possibly follow such an alliance. At the present timo no engagement exists between Miss Elklns and tho duke, and there will bo no engagement until such time as the duke can assure Miss Elklns that she will bo welcomed to Italy by the members of tho royal family. Miss Elklns will decide for horself what her future will be. Nelthor her father nor her mother will Interpose any objections to the marriage, always provided that the unanimous consent of the royal family is obtained by the duke. No effort is made to conceal the fact that Miss Elkins and the Duke of Ahruzzi love each other. It Is admitted that they do. It is-pointed out, however, that should she consent to such a marriage. Miss Elkins would make sacrifices. The freedom which she enjoys in this country would be denied her In ftaly. She would not object to the restraint thus placed upon her If she were assured of a heart y welcome by her husband's family. Until such time as that assurance Is given there will he no engagement. The duke has not yot received the consent to his marriage from all of his relatives. For that reason, If for no other, ho is not planning to visit America in the immediate future. For ,tho same reason Miss Elklns is not making any plans for tho wedding. Sho has neither bought nor plauned her trousseau and she hns not asked any of her girl friends to act as her bridesmaids. She has not consulted with Cardinal Gibbons with a view to becoming acquainted with the religion of the duke. Tho cardinal has been a visitor at the Elklns homo for many years and should he appear there tomorrow the family would- not consider tho visit slgnlficnut. It Is believed here that tho duke will succeed In overcoming tho opposition to hi., marriage. This opposition is contered In the queen mother, and from all thai can be learned here she steadfastly adheres to her original position. It has been suggested In some quarters that unless Queen Marghcrita relents the duke will marry without her consent. While defiance of court etiquette Is not looked for, it Is probable that such an attitude on his part would avail him nothing, for Miss Elkins would not be willing to marry in tho face of open discord. BURGLARS' VICTIMS? UNITE. Form Society in Chicago and Will Offer Rewards to Policemen. Chicago. Special: A vigilance committee of 100 to suppress burglary la being organlxed in Chicago. Tho new society is to hae 100 members, all of whom have suffered at the hands of burglars, so that they will not grow soft-hearted and relent when a marauder is cnughL Tho vigilantes plan to use all sorts of unusual means to free Chicago of second-story workers and Jimmy wlelders.

L Kelly, a prospective Juror, to vote for the acquittal of Ruef. He at first offered Kelly $500, which was refused, but the offer of $1,000 was accepted.

WILL DEVOTE LIFE TO CARE OF STRICKEN HUSBAND.

VOWS TAKEN AT THE ALTAR Impel Brave Wife to Go Into ExileSets Forth Duty in Unusual Article. Washington, Special: Mrs. John It. Early, wife of tho lopor, whose pathetic case has aroused much lntorest, not only in Washington, but throughout tho country, has written an articlo graphically describing the agonies she has suffered by reason of the atlliction that has been visited on her husband, and reiterating her determination to remain at his side until the end. "I will follow John to tho end of tho world if needs be. There is no life for me without him, nnd It he is sent to tho leper colony at Molokai, as seems tu have been decided. I, with vaby John and tho little one to come, will follow him and try to persuade the authorities to allow u to enter tho leper colony with him," she has written. "Thon he can have tho comfort of having us with him. 1 am not afraid of being infected with leprosy. In the first place, I think John will be cured If lie lias faith, and then we have already been exposed to the disease, anyway. For myself I do not care. "I believe that it is my wifely duty to stand by John in tho worst things as well as tho best. 1 took him for better or worse, and surely I would be a coward if for my own safety and comfort I should desert him. He ueeds me so much. Oh, it is so hard not to be able to be near him, to kiss him, but tho doctors say no. I knowhe longs to caress baby John, too. He looks at him so pitifully when tho baby stretches out his Wuls to him. "Every ono has been so kind to us. the doctors so good and the people of Washington havo shown such deep sympathy for us. Wo- felt at first we would like to return to North Carolina on our little farm, whore John could work and I could take care of him. Wo would not havo exposed any ono to leprosy. John worries so now whether he unwittingly affected any one, before ho knew ho was alllictcd. But that couLl not be, aud we woro getting conUted with our lot here. "It came as a sad blow to mo that John was probably to be sent to a leper colony. It seems tho final blow to all our hopes that perhaps he would be cured. It Is so hard to go to a strange land under such circumstances, to be shunned, avoided and treated as pests, and it is doubly hard for John because he is so patriotic. "I shall never forget how I felt when 1 first hoard of John's affliction. We had just finished supper and I had sent his younger brother to the postoffice with a letter to him, expecting that he would bring mo one bnck at the same time. The boy burst into tho room crying: 'He's a leper; he's a leper,' "I took the paper with tho story In it from the boy's hand. I saw that tho dreadful fact was chronicled there. "Right there I called my child to mo and, with the lad. we knelt down to pray for strength and guidance from our Creator. I prayed to God to show mo the light; I prayed that Ho would direct us. Most earnestly did I pray that I would not have to he separated from either my husband or my child. "Right then I wante'd to gn to him; I wanted to comfort hlnj. Vrom the very first I was willing to cleave to htm, to follow him into the wilderness, I have always been willing to leave the outside world to bo with him. I lovo him even moro in his affliction than before. Two years ago wo wero married. Wo promised to love nnd cherish each other. I meant it and so did he. Why can I not share his burden? It is my joy and ray only conciliation for his affliction. John places his faith in God and so do I. I havo suffered so much. Only a few months ago we were happy. Today we trust In God. I feel sure that faith in God will eventually euro my poor husbnnd and bring him back to health." RAID ON MELON .PATCH Disclosed by Photo Which Miscreants Took -Themselves.
