Mrs. Astor Leaves New York.

Tired of what she considers unjust taxation, Mrs. William Astor, the society leader, has petitioned the court at Newport, R. 1., for a certificate of citizenship in Rhode Island. This undoubtedly will be granted, and it is expected that on Monday the legal residence of Mrs. Astor will be changed from New York to Newport. The New York millionaires, Hamilton Fish Webster, Samuel E. Huntington and William C. Schermerhorn, the last Mrs. Astor’s brother, will also become citizens of Rhode Island on Monday.
