, MRS. ASTOR.
(Showing lier Marie Smart l ara. of fifty diamonds, each as big as hazel nuts.)
Mrs. William Astor, or, as sin- prefers
to be called, “Mrs. Astor.” can rieht
fully be called the greatest hostess In the
world, because she is always entertalni' •:
and because she entertains In even the
largest capitals of three nations at three
regular periods of every year.
She is the only woman who devotes her
life to entertaining. For forty successive
years she has done this, and now she has
earned her title by right of long-contin
ued possession as well as by right of hos
pitality.
When Sydney Smith conic mpl.it* 1 -L ath
someone asked him for what he wnntrd
to be remembered. “Fora beat.” said he,
for that means the cardinal virtues. The
generosity, hospitality, geniality, good na
ture, common sense, ability and virtue
that are required in the ideal host or hos
tess bespeak the best and most Ideal dis
position.
Mrs. Hetty Green, who is the richest
woman in the world, and her daughter,
who is one of the greatest heile *:s, are
r, i good hostesses. They lack certain
<1 tliri.whether generosity ami genial*
iiy or ivhis not here stated, but no
r, or.l as that of a hostess can he
: iid at Heir doors, however much they
ir ;.■ pos.-es- other admirable traits.
Mrs. IVii, im Astor spends five millions
every, war *nt rtaluing. Her great house
on ..Fifth avenue, adjoining that of her
is kept open all the year and sup
plied wiili can-takers so that the benign
owner can reign there during December
ai. I January, in these two months she
gin s*ume dinners a week at a eost of
S’.*o each, a grand hall at a cost of many
thousands, s.x dinner dances costing a
thousand for the music and favors alone,
and receptions, teas and afternoons by
the score. She is the most profuse enter
vilner in society.
When Mrs. Astor is gathered to her
fathers she will leave a gap that can hard
ly Ik- filled, just as Ward McAllister did.
If- McAllister made laws Mrs. Astor
carried them out. If -McAllister suggested
a Kcftir Hundred Mrs. Astor created It.
if McAllister pointed out how to ?|*-irl
money Mrs. Astor spent it.
The personnel of a woman who Is the
talk of the.whole world for the magniti
<■* nee of hc>' entertainments is interest
ing. These, then, arc the facts about
Mrs. Astor. it is not pdtilic’to tell a lady's
age, but you can guess It when you know
that she introduced her grand-daughter,
-Miss Van Al*-n, in society a year ago.
Women do no* hav*- twenly-j rar-oid
granddaughters until they are past sixty.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 27. 1898.
M’s. Astor's youngest child, John Jacob.
She is of tr.cd.an) bight, with half-gray
hair, is rather slender, with well-preserv
ed figure, and has a very queenly bear
ing. At Mrs. Bradley Martin's costume
hall Mrs. Astor went as Marie Stuart.
"Whom did (Mrs. Astor resemble?" asked
someone.
"She resembled Mrs. Astor,” was the
ready reply, meaning that no queen was
more regal than she.
Here are some of rhe Jewels purchased
by this queen of society for entertaining
her friends, for she dresses well, as hos
tesses of to-day sometimes forget to do,
but which custom Mrs. Astor follows with
old-time fidelity:
A famous “stomacher” ) SOh.flOO
A paih of hazel-nut earrings 6,000
A string of matched diamonds
three yards long 2,000,00 b
A diamond tiara. 50,000
Of finger rings she has a bushel and of
diamond pins a hundred. These she
wears in great profusion.
In dress Mr As or is peculiar. She
clings to black and white. At her groat
hall, when she received, unassisted by
*\ n lu-r daughters, she wore white satin.
Usually she w. urs black velvet, and when
Cnrolus-Duran paint* and her he insisted in
displaying the .draperies well, so as to
look "natural.”
Ttip career of the greatest hostrss In
the world is-also n remarkable one. She
l-gan as the daughler of a rich New
York trader, and When she married Mr.
Astor sin- dropped the name of Schermer
h-arn to lake a less worthy on**. But im
mediately her good old Dutch blood began
to show. Sh.- inaugurated Ihe system of
entertaining guests from all over the
country, and was tin- first New York wo
man to entertain a Chicago woman at din
ner. and sh*- was the flrst woman to
ignore the fool sh social rivalry which at
that time existed .hot ween the Iwo cities.
New York and Chicago.
Among other social customs made pop
ular by M 'S. Astor arc those:
That of giving expensive "favoas." Even
Ru the country of dinners, knew not
favors before (Mas. Astor's day.
The "dinner dance,” begun by her in
Paris and brought here in time for the
Newport"’ seasoh. •
The horse show, which sprang Into ex
istence through her encouragement.
The grand opera, which was a tame af
fair until she dressed for it and sat high
In a box with ail her jewels on.
The private ballroom, first owned by
one of her near relatives through her
persuasions.
The keeping of a high-priced chef.
The owning of a private yacht with
one's own hand aboard.
The custom of keeping thoroughbreds
for family use and not for trotting pur
poses for the men alone.
These arc but a few of the customs In
augurated by this famous old lady, whose
beauty and social virtue will long be
renowned after she has gone.
The Waterloo of her life came when, in
1880, she decided that the head of the fam
ily should he known as 'Mrs. Brown" or
"Mrs. Smith." and not "Mr-. John BrqWn"
or Mrs. John Smith," and decided that it
was premier that she should be called
"Mrs. Astor.”
This point was bitterly contested by
Mrs. Waldorf Astor, who thought she had
the first claim to b$ called “Mrs. Astor,"
and tlte ruptur* b<dt#i<*n the worsen drove
the WaMofff Asters’tc? Europe to live.
There is no other woman in society as
old as Mrs. William Astor who carries
out successfully a- many and as varied
forms of entertainment.
Now that it is Lent she has left New
York to travel slowly to London, where
she will visit her granddaughters of the
Van Alon and Orrot Wilson families; then
she will go to Paris, getting there before
Easter In time to amaze Parisians with
her elegance, lime, Faure is her devoted
friend. Returning, she will give dinners
to Londoners and will send a message to
Victoria, whom she Aver visits formally
in the Monday drawing-rooms on account
of the fatigue, tyu whose dear frjend she
still Is. Then she will get back to New
port for the magnificent summer season,
and soon she will lie entertaining all the
world In New York.

Hostess in the World.”
BOAT TO VTTACK SHIP’S HI M,s.
\\ <>rk Being Hurried on a Submarine
Torpedo A easel.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 2fc—Work will bo
pushed this week on the three torpedo
boats at the Columbian Iron Works here.
Special orders have been received to
hasten the completion of the submarine
torpedo boat Plunger. (Not to be con
founded with the Argonaut.) This new
a- -troyer is designed to steal into any
harbor unseen, examine the bottom for
submarine mines and torpedoes, destroy
them, if ordered to do so, and depart un
seen.
The Plunger is a cigar-shaped steel ves
sel. S3 feet long and 11 feet in diameter.
Her buoyancy is almost overcome bv
admitting water to ballast tanks. The
slight reserve buoyancy is overcome by
inclining horizontal rudders at the stern
and driving the engines forward when the
bow will dive out of sight. She may
come near the surface and project a mir
ror above the waters, which reflects dqwn
into the vessel the position of any war
ship on the surface.
In the bow of the Plunger are two tor
pedo tubes. Front these torpedoes can be
sent out while the vessel is submerged,
and if they strike an enemy's hull, it will
be the last of her. The Plunger is pro
pelled by twin screws. She has steel
cylinders in which sufficient ait may be
stored for a submerged run of twenty
four hours.

THE AWFUL LIFE OF
A LAWFUL WIFE/
I five. Duty and Happiness Beckon to
Her in Vain.
Ail readers of newspapers have been
told "Ignorance is the mother of crime, ’•
and that no crimes are so severely pun
ished as those committed against Nature.
Nature's law is the stern law of reprisal.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”
The cnildren’s teeth set on edge because
of the sour grapes of sin eaten by the
parents. The sin of the parents visited
on the children to the third and fourth
generation. "Sin is the transgression of
law.” And the courts only echo the voice
of Nature when they affirm: “Ignorance
of the law does not excuse guilt.” It is
these fundamental facts in the operations
of natural law that make it possible for
a woman wlfb enters the marriage rela
tion with the full sanction of the law of
the land and love of her heart, to be con-
I i
"LOVE AND DUTY
demned to an awful life of servitude and'j
suffering.
Don’t let her smile deceive you. She 1
has trained herself to bear what she looks
upon as part of the burden of her state.
“Behind no prison grate, she said,
That spurns the sunshine, half a mile
Sit captives so uncomforted
As souls behind a smile.
Whom sadder can I say, she said.”
I
The underlying reason for this sad con
dition of affairs is ignorance. The young
girl grows to womanhood ignorant of
her physical needs and dangers. When a !
word might save her years of suffering, ;
modesty bids her keep silent. She loves !
and marries and enters upon the mar
riage state with all Us obligations to the
unborn, handicapped by conditions that
make life a burden to herself and a men
ace to tuy offspring.
If the '‘Common Sense Medical Advis
er.” a book that every woman should read
and that every reader of this paper may
now obtain free of cost as explained below,
were in every home the results would be
very different. This great work of Dr.
R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, of Buffalo, N. Y., contains the
condensed results of years of study and
observation, and treats intimately of fe
male disorders from the standpoint of the
one specialist whose discoveries and ad
vice have removed the shackles of suffer
ing from hundreds of thousands of wo
men.
But Dr. Pierce has not confined his
work to the combating of ignorance. Such
kr.owl- dge as he can impart might often
come too late lor help if it came alone.
It is small help to read in a hook what
might have been clone for us if we hail
only known. To counteract the results of
the common ignorance of men and women
in respect to the delicate organs so sensi
tive to shock or strain and so liable to
disease has been the Doclor’s life work.
What can be done to correct irregularities
resulting from neglect, Jo restore the dis
placed organs to a natural and healthy
condition, to give back vitality to a sys
tem drained by disease, to reattune the
great
HARP OF THE NERVES
To divine melody after the years of dis
cord? It was the endeavor to answer
these questions that gave to the world
Dr, Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, the
most effective remedy ever compounded
for the Ills and ailments peculiar to the
delicate feminine organization.
By the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription the drains that debilitate the
system are promptly stopped. Inflamma
tion and ulceration are quickly cured. Dis
orders of the womb and the organs sym
pathetic with it are overcome, and wo
man is put into a condition where the
functions of nature are her pleasure as
well as her privilege. In this condition
children are born without anxiety as al
most without pain. The elasticity im
parted to the organs of parturition prac
tically does away with the pangs of cljild
birth. Vitality is imparted which makes
•he nursing of the child a delight instead
of a- drain, and the robust child sharing
the strength of the mother grows day
by day in health nnd beauty. Contrast
this plain statement of fact with the con
dition of so many women who anticipate
motherhood, worn-out, suffering, fearful,
anxious, bringing children into the world
with reluctant suffering and rearing them
painfully through a sickly childhood. Can
any words speak for Dr. Pierce’s Favor
ite Prescriptions like these facts that
arc part of the sum of public knowledge
and testified to on both sides of the At
lantic by hundreds of thousands of wo
nt* n? “Thank God for Dr. Pierce's Fav
orite Prescription” has bten the heartfelt
cry of many
A WOMAN RELEASED
By its moans from the results of ignor
ance and neglect. There is no longer any
reason why women should endure the suf
fering which they have almost come to
regard ns the heritage of their sox. The
record of Dr. Pierce’s treatment of female
disorders, numbering over 250.000 cases,
shows that not more than three per cent,
of such cases fire incurable when treat
ed by him and his discoveries. Women
who have failed to find help for their
disorders, or who have nor found the
“Favorite Prescription” to work as quick
ly as they desire are invited to write to
the Doctor himself. Write without fear
and without fee. There is no charge for
such consultation. The Doctor piace-s at
the service of every suffering woman his
own skill as a specialist in female dis
orders and all the practical experience of
his trained staff of eminent physicians.
All communications are absolutely held in
sacred confidence, and the cure given
does not involve local “treatments” and
"examinations” at which the natural
modesty of every woman revolts. He es
pecially invites correspondence in so-call
ed hopeless and incurable cases. Every
truly modest woman has questions often
rising to her lips, which she cannot frame
into words. Speech seems too coarse for
the delicacy of her thought. But she can
write what she could not speak, when
she knows she is writing in confidence
to a man who has read and held sacred
thousands of similar statements, from
those similarly afflicted.
Every woman, however discouraged by
her condition, however unbenefited by
other treatments, however hopeless,
however, helpless, should make one
fair trial of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. There is no other success
ful medicine for the disorders peculiar
to women, prepared by a regularly grad
uated physician in active practice. For
this re*ason no substitute for “Favorite
Prescription” should be accepted. Either
from cupidity or indifference, some drug
gists will offer another medicine as “just
as good.” Nothing is just as good that
has not “just as good” a record, and no
other remedy can show a record of cures
of female diseases and disorders com
parable with that of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.”
"THE BEST WOMAN’S FRIEND.”
“I take pleasure in writing a few words
of praise for Dr. Pierce’s valuable medi- 4
tines, as I have used both tho ‘Favorite
Prescription’ and ‘Golden Medical Dis
covery.’ ” writes Mrs. V. A. Davenport
of Millboro, Bath county Virginia. “On
one occasion I took one bottle of ’Favorite
Prescription.’ which cured me of a had
ease of -female weakness attended with
an annoying drain. I also took several
bottles of ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and
‘Pleasant Pellets’ for cold in the head (or
catarrh) and had a very bad cough at the
same time, and these medicines relieved
me immediately. On another occasion I
used six bottles of ‘Favorite Prescrip
tion’ an*i- ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ after
having a miscarriage and severe hemor
rhages. I was not able to walk across
the floor without holding on to a chair,
My family doctor said I would soon gain
strength, but it seemed to me too long. I
was very low spirited and began to think
I would never get well, but the bright
thought came to me that I would take
Dr. Pierce’s medicines. By the time I
had used six bottles I was well and able
to do all the work for my family, and I
also took in sewing. I can safely say
that it was the use of Dr. Pierce’s medi
cines that built me up. Whenever I feel
tired and have an ’all gone' feeling from
overwork I take one or two bottles of
your valuable medicine and it gives me
prompt relief, and X can go on with my
household duties. Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is the best ’Woman’s Friend’
and tonic of all the medicines I have ever
tried. It sates- doctof hills and I thank
God I found relief by its use.”
"I am very well at present and have
been for the last four months,” writes
Airs. Jennie J. Jackson of Fergussons
Wharf, Isle of Wight county, Virginia.
”1 have enjoyed better health since tak
ing your medicine than I have since
I have been married. I can work hard
all day and sleep well all night.
"I was almost gone when I wrote to
you three years ago, had womb trouble
very l>adly, but, thank the Lord. I am
very well now. The doctor did not have
any faith in ‘patent medlcifles,’ but he
says ’something has done you good.' I
tried many different medicines and got no
better until I tried Dr. Pierce’s medicines
The flrst bottle gave me ease. I have
taken six bottles of 'Favorite Prescrip
lion.' six bottles of ‘Peilets.’ anti four bot
tl. sof Dr. Pierce’s Extract of Smart-
Weed. and I feel as well as ever in my
life. I am under many obligations to you
and send you many thanks. I pray that
the Ixird will bless you.
"I received Dr. Pierce s book and was
very glad to get it. I would not take ten
dollars for ;he book if 1 thought I coujd
not get another like it. 1 am well nnd
strong as ever. I thank you kindly for
sending it to me and for the trouble you
have taken in advising me what to do
Now I am well, and can work hard ali
day and do as much walking as I ever
did. I know if I had not taken Dr
Pierce's medicines I could not have lived
long, as I was nothing but a skeleton I
was so thin in flesh that it hurt me to
lie down. I can never thank you enough
for the good you did me. When I want „
liver pill 1 take Dr. Pierce’s Pelletk
Please accept my heartfelt thanks. I will
never forget the kind letters I received
from you.”
"1 have a little step-daughter who had
Si. A i tus’ Dance, which your mcdici ne
cured," writes Mrs. T. F. Hoze of Ford
Dinwiddle county, Virginia. “I spent
about twenty dollars for doctor’s hills and
medicine, and it did not do the child one
cent s worth of good. We commenced
giving Dr. Pierce’s FavorPe Prescription
and ‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ and used
three bottles of each, which cost only- six
dollars. Now the child is running around
everywhere and is just a s healthy as
ever.”

MEXICO'S GREAT W ATERFALL,
It Rivals the Lofty Cascades of the
Yoseiuite.
Mexican Letter in St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat.
Not frequently in this advanced age does
it transpire that one of nature's most mar
velous works has been allowed to remain
unchronicled among the Vecognized won
ders of the earth, and generally unknown
to a majority of the inhabitants of a
world it was designed to adorn, yet, se
questered among the verdant hills ami
vales of central Mexico, not because of
any remoteness or inaccessibility, for it is
situated within a day's journey by rail
from, the capital city of ihe republic, ard
only a few hours’ travel from the fair
metropolis. Guadalajara, in the state of
Jalisco, but because of the tardiness on
the part of those who worship at nature's
shrine in availing themselves of the al
lurements of this truly delightful section—
this land of manana, of poco tiempo, and
sweet forgetfulness—all the more sublime
because of its unheralded majesty, there
exists a masterpiece of nature’s handi
work, unrivaled in its own peculiar beau
ties and environments. It is the great
fall of Juanacatlan.
The immediate approach “to the falls is
in itself an artist’s dream of rural de
lights. Leaving the railroad at the little
station of El Castillo, one is conveyed by
a native tram car for a distance of five
miles through a beautiful circular valley
thousands of acres in area, and resem
bling in the graceful curves of its sur
rounding hills and the delicate tints of
Its labyrinths of wild flowers, a mammoth
sea sheil. At frequent intervals above the
tops of the tall grasses and tropical
shrubs glimpses are caught of the broad,
winding Rio de Santiago, Us waters has
tening onward to the mad plunge.
Having traversed perhaps two-thirds of
this enchanting landscape, one’s ear grad
ually becomes conscious of a low, distant
murmur, which steadily increases :o a
deep rumble and from that to a mighty
roar, and presently the tram-car comes to
a standstill at the very brink of a high
precipice, from which is viewed, through
clouds of yaporous mist, the sight of
thousands of tons of water plunging over
a wail of gray granite in a steady, un
broken cataract 360 feet in width, for a
sheer distance of 8) feet into a seething,
eddying vortex below.
For a time the mind is apt to be held in
rapt contemplation of the grand specta
cle; then, by degrees the senses are awak
ened to the various characteristics, the
exquisite effects, and weird vagaries cf
the foaming, falling waters. At the ex
treme further shore a portion of the run
ning flood is turned aside by a spur of
granite and hurled obliquely against the
face of the confining wall, from which it
rebounds in a fine, veil-like cascade, while
from the top of the precipice on the near
er side long, trailing vines droop down
and reach out their tendrils as if in vain
efforts to grasp the descending torrents.
Associated with these falls is a strange
and beautiful phenomenon. It is the con
stant presence of myriads of gorgeous
butterflies, which flit in and out the lifts
of the great cascade and to and fro
through the clouds of drifting vapor,
seemingly attracted and fascinated by the
dazzling, buffeting avalanche of foam.
Not least magnificent of all its varied
features are the ever-vislble, ever-chang
ing rainbow effects. Reflected in the sil
very mists at many a different angle—at
one moment arched in a radiant span
from shore to shore, the next caught by
a counter-current of vapor and borne up
ward in a whirling column of iride#tent
light—their delicate hues are blended into
fantastic combinations of color such as
would challenge reproduction through cal
cium agencies.
The foot of the falls is reached 'ey a
winding stairway of masonry down the
side of the cliff, at the foot of which, shut
in by massive walls of solid rock, the
cannonading of the waters is deafening.
Here one is completely enveloped in the
driving mist which at flrst partially ob
scures the vision, but gradually the eyes
become accustomed to the change from
the upper atmosphere, ancK behind the
sheet of descending water, deep, caver
nous fissures can be discerned, from the
glistening walls of which fitful shadows
are thrown back in unreal, grotesque ar
ray. Just aioove the falls the river attains
a width of 540 feet, and near the center
is a romantic little island, densely covered
with flowering plants and banana trees and
populated by tropical birds of brilliant
plumage. In coves and recesses along
the banks of the stream water lilies grow
in great profusion, and the air is con
stantly laden with their perfume.
Nestled among the hills in the distance
on the opposite side of the river is the
picturesque little hamlet of Juanacatlan,
its ancient belfries and red-tiled roofs
Just visible above the tree tops, and im
mediately lielow the falls is the manufac
turing village of El Salto (the falls),
where within the past four years a large
electric plant, transmitting a current for
upward of 13,000 arc and incandescent
lights a distance of 18 miles to the city of
Guadalajara, has been established, to
gether with several factories, all of wriieh
derive their power from the tremendous
force of the great cataract, yet without
detracting in the least from its superb
grandeur, and though the industries of
tiffs busy little town should multiply ten
fold, the waters of Juanacatlan would
still continue to plunge in unimpaired vol
ume and beauty from their granite hlghts
through the shimmering mist clouds
below.
