OUR WILLY WALLY ASTOR HAS > ; AN AMBITION. Will Keep Hie Organ in Tune with the High Church Tory Party CWcago West-Bidera Arc Ready for « Lynching. 4.. ' Aator’a Ambition. London dispatch: If it is true that Astor hopes in time to become a lord in SCafland his fellow-Americans have every right to criticise him. but it is difficult to see why the English should find fault. However, here is what the Sunday Times, a thoroughly- reputable, paper, publishes: “I hear that Mr. Astor, who laely scored a Lind of a social success, is likely to be made a Privy Councilor at the end of a few years? that is to say if he •ees that his organ is* steadily ground to the tune of the high church Tory party «nd.does-not forego any of his social eligiMeness by prematurely succumbing to anatrlmony.
