He added to the well stocked stables for the breeding and training of hackneys and he establish- ed a dairy which has become one of the best known in the country. Last September Col. Astor married Miss Madeleine Force, the twenty- year-old daughter of William H. Force. a shipping merchant. After considerable difficulty in finding a clergyman to perform the ceremon) the marriage took place at Col. Astor’ s NeWport hme Beechwood. Col. Astor. like his father and un- like his grandfather, was fond of the sea. Most of his yachting was done on the Nourmahal, the immense steam yacht built for his father. A year or so ago he sold the Nourmaâ€" ha] and bought the Norma from the estate of William B. Leeds. William Vincent Astor, Col. Astor’s only son, on whom the care of the Astor estate here will eventually fall, is not yet 21 years old. His father, wishing to keep him out of doors on account of his delicate health, en- couraged his fondness for yachting and automobiling. He accompanied his father on the Nourmahal on a voyage to the West Indies two Years ago when a storm interrupted com» munication and the Astor yacht was not heard from for several weeks. It was feared that the yacht had been lost and revenue cutters were de spatched to hunt for it. but it turned out that the Nourmahal was safe in harbor at San Juan.

MR. W. T. STEAD'S STRIKING LIFE His Thirst for. Reading Developed In- to Extraordinary and Fearless Ability as a Writer Instead \\*'illiam 'l‘. Stead boarded it, with a purpose, a goal that comes only from ambition. There were books to be bought; he must learn. He must study to satisfy the cravings of his mind. From this he further developed his literary taste which found expression in numerous writ- ings. No more dynamic thing has been done than his series of articles on “The Truth About the Navy,” which in 1884 modernized the British fleet. His pamphlet “Fifty Years of the House of Lords” received the precious distinction of commendation in a Speech by Mr. Gladstone. He had a wondrous gift of reaching the Vitals of a subject in a glance. He went to jail because he made techni- cal mistakes in his crusade in defence of young girlhood in 1885. He edited an evening paper from Holloway Prison, and kept the anniversary of his conviction in jail clothes. The Criminal Law Amendment Acr. which, for all time marks a great advance in the protection the British law af- fords young girls, is in large measure his work. To achieve it he fought with beasts at Ephesus and removed mountains. He endured obloquy with- out complaint. and sadly saw friends fall away. But the work remains, and in the Old Land. at least, every father of daughters has had cause nearly thirty years to be grateful for What he did. He was an impressive personailty, a wild talker. running over with ani- mal spirits. by turns mystical and worldly. simple and cynical, egostistic and generous, pitiless and sympathe- tic. He saw nothing out of the way in anything he did. Once, during the Passion Play at Oberammergau he visited the scene and attempted to take kodak pictures of the Christ tragedy Without thinking it at all in- congruous. “There is nothing so likely to pro- mote and cement the friendliness of nations,” said Mr. Stead in his en- thusiastic way, “as this plan of in- ternational correspondence. Often the young people become warm per- sonal friends. My son, for instance, went over and visited the boy in Ger- many with whom he had correspond- ,ed, and later the young German re- turned the visit. In addition, there is no other way in which a foreign language can be so quickly and so easily learned. It makes it pleasant from the first. and the children learn German and French without ever re. alizing that they were studying at all. The children write to each other about postage stamps, botanical speci- mens, and all sorts of things. We find that sex has little to do with it. Boys would often rather write to other boys and girls to other girls." 5 Mr. Stead’s home was in a pretty ;lpct at Wimbledon It is said that he was the most untldy of men as to his ,olothes, was enthusiastic about the ‘Balvation army, never worked on Sun- 'day, which he gave up to his Wife and t(shildren, and regularly attended the - orning and evening services at the i (:81 Congregational chapel. H18 fa- ,vorlte poet was Lowell; and Carlyle And all from this beginning: He was born into the home of a Congrega- tional minister on July 5, 1849, at Em- ;bleton, Northumberland, England. The father was a poor man. He had a large family. The boy’s lot was a hard one. His child life was prosaic~and yet in everything. to him, there was a bit of a finer appeal, a wonderful 'yearning to find out the “why” ofi things, to know the reason for the being of this w,or1d to remedy thatl which seemed wrong. i ‘ At 14 entered poverty, stalkingp ghastly poverty A position was open as errand boy in a merchant’s omce. The salary was 6 shillings a week. All i except 3 pence, or 6 cents a week went toward the support of the family. The rest he could spend as he wished â€"â€"6 cents! ; Mr. Stead's life was one of pet plans. There was never a moment when he was not planning something for the future. the forming of a new paper, the bringing together of peo- ples, the wiping out of warâ€"~and he devoted much of his life after 1897 to the theory of arbitrationâ€"and even love making did not escape him. One of his pet plans was the promotion of international flirtatious was both his literary hero and the chief formative influence in his intel- W lite. “And you shall be Ificlggd to death oooooo SO 93%“??? 00 7.10 “ Durham “ 11.54 9.19 11 7.21 “ McVVilliams“ 11.44 9.09 14 7.24 “ Glen “ 11.41 9.06 24 7.31 “ Priceville “ 11.31 8.56 40 7.50 " Saugeen J. “ 11.18 8.43 15 7.50 “ Toronto “ 11.15 7.55 .4-IA FARLANE. - Town Agent: .0 19 CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY TIME TABLE Trains will arrive and depart; as fol lows, until further notice:â€" Trains leave Durham at 7.15 3.111., and 2 43 ptm.
