In an editorial In the Louisville Courier-Journal, entitled “A Flock of Unclean Birds" Henry Watterson says:' "The four hundred contrive to keep themselves constantly before the pub lic. Yet, somehow, it is their scan dals, not their benefactions, that ad vertise them. “But yesterday It was the Fair trag edy In France that recalled the Infe licities and vulgarities of a family which, except for Its millions, would have decorated the criminal Instead of the social annals of its time. "Today’s sensation relates to the Van Alens, an off-shoot of the Asters “It will be remembered that one J.- J. Van Alen, an ambitious donkey with dollars, thought la advance to be the representative of Grover Cleveland— In case be was elected—to the Italian mission, subscribed, It was said, fifty thousand of the Astor shekels to the campaign fund. “The story got out, and, character istically, Mr. Cleveland, having had the usufruct ot the money, repudiated the deal. This Is the same Van Alen whose daughter defied his wishes and married the man of her own selection a few weeks ago. “Now comes the Remington suicide, and we learn that it was all on ac count 6f another of the Van Allen girls, and so it goes. We never hear of the four hundred except it be a murder, a suicide or a divorce. A shot fired into a flock ot these unclean birds cannot miss bitting an Injured husband, a recreant and disgraced wife or at the least a gilded nincom poop Ilka Van Alen.
