Finest Hostelry in World When
Built, It Gives Way to New
Century’s Progress.
The Rev. H. M. DuBose and Dr.
W. W. Memminger Take Issue
With Chicago Minister.
NEW YORK, May 3h. The old An-
tor House, which stands in the path
of a proposed subway, was closed
yesterday and it is practically certain
its doors will never be opened as a
hostelry again. In all probability the
building will be torn down and a
modern structure erected on its site,
which Is one of the most valuable In
the city.
The property is owned Jointly by
Vincent Astor and William Waldorf
Astor, Vincent owning the southern
half while the northern half belongs
to his cousin
The Astor House was built by the
original John Jacob Astor, who had
his little fur store around the corner
on Vesey Street To build the hot€jl
he secured the property from various
owners whose homes occupied the
site.
Opened in 1836.
The building was finished in 183G,
and in May of that year the doors
of the finest hotel In America at
that time were throw'n open. It had
cost $360,000 to build; an enormous
sum for those days. Although there
wasn't a room with a private bath in
the house 1t was considered to be
the last word in elegance and luxury.
For 20 years after itv opening the
hotel continued to be the headquar
ters for notables who visited New
York. Foreign nobleman who came
tory of the city.
here. prominent politicians and
statesmen of our own country and the
social elite all stopped at the Astor
House. Daniel Webster was fre
quently registered at the hotel. John
C. t’aihoun, Silas Wright, Franklin
Pierce, Martin Van Buren, James
Buchanan, Zachary Taylor. William
Q. Seward, Stephen A. Douglas, Lew
is Cass, Jefferson Davis, Horatio Sey
mour and Henrv Clay were all reg
istered at the hotel at one time or
another
Lincoln a Guest There.
President Lincoln stopped there on
his first visit to New York. The
monster meeting to arrange for the
reception of Charles Dickens on the
occasion of his visit to this country
was held here. Many public dinners
of note, chief among them the dinner
in honor of the Prince de JoJnvllle,
in 1841, were held In the dining room.
General Fremont and his family lived
there during the presidential cam
paign of 1856, and Admirals Farra-
gut and Porter were frequent guests
after the war.
At the beginning of this month
when it became certain that the
old hotel would have to be closed, the
manager notified the employees that
they had better seek other jobH.
Many left the room in tears. Sev
eral of the employees ha^ve been with
the Artor House for 20 years or more.
Invariably the waiters at the Astor
House have been Irishmen.
A few will lament the passing of
the old landmark and soon it will be
only a memory, but a memory which
can never be separated from the his
tory of the city.
Atlanta ministers take Issue with
Dr. Aimer Peqnewell, of Dak Park,
a suburb of Chicago, who says; “If
the church Insists that marriage is a
rite that belongs to It, then the church
should at once make that rite free to
nil. The minister who does not need
a fee should be ashamed to take it
and A MINISTER SHOULD BE
FORCED TO STAND AT A WED
DING WITH HIS OPEN HAND BE
HIND HIM."
Is a marriage fee a form of graft ?
Do you think marriage fees should
be abolished?
These questions are answered by
two well-known Atlanta clergymen.
A reasonable fee paid to the minis
ter or magistrate secures to the groom
a sense of self-respect and self-worth
iness whloh he will otherwise not
feel." said Rev. II. M. Du Bose, pastor
of the First Methodist Church.
Regards Fees as Offset.
“A man who marries is supposed to
have made soma special financial
preparation or arrangement for his
new move In life, and the fee can be
but a very small part of his necessary
outlay.
“Ministers perhaps more than all
other men are called upon by Indigent
people and marriage fees are usually
thought of by the clergy as balanc
ing a small part of their expenditures
for charity.
“The marriage fees that come into
my hands," *aid the Rev. Dr Du
Bose "represent possibly less than
one-fourth of my exceptional expen
ditures for charity.
“A marriage fee is no charity to
the minister A man pays $2.50 for
license and the executing of this
license is Just as necessary as its is
suance. Therefore the fee for execu
tion is Just as legitimate ns the fee
for the Issuance, because the minis
ter acts as the agent of the law when
he performs the marriage.
“A minister who marries a couple
whom he knows to be unfit mentally
or physically is himself a degenerate.
have the same contempt for such a
minister as I have for any other man
who violates the moral obligations of
his office.
Holds State Responsible.
"The State should bo held respon
sible for the fitness and health of
the contracting parties In marriage
The State has expert physicians, an
expert health board and should pass
upon all persons who are to be mar
ried
“Of course the contracting parties
should one minister refuse to marry
them, can go to some other minister.
The wav to correct tho evil of im
proper marriage is to refuse to li
cense.”
Regarding cases where the parties
to l)e married are under age, the Rev.
Mr. Du Bose said: “If a young man
and a young girl should come to my
residence late at night with a mar
riage license and, even though I knew
them both to be under age, I should
regard It as a niece of high ethics
to marry them at once.”
No Fees Are Solicited.
The Rev. W. W. Memminger rector
of All Saints Episcopal Church says:
“A fee given to the minister for per
forming a marriage is accepted, how
ever no fee is solicited, it is not an
obligatory matter and altogether vol
untary.
“A man should not get married un
til be can afford a marriage fee and
afford to keep a wife. I never ask
for a fee for it Is part of my duty
as a minister.
“A wealthy man should pay a min
ister a big fee and the fee the groom
pays to the minister should bo In
proportion to hls income.. A man who
cun afford to give a big wedding
feast and stag dinner cun certainly
afford to give the minister a wedding
fee'.*'

Many hundreds of letters are re

the good results obtained and
among the enthusiastic letters is
one from Docia Wood, of Little

could not sleep well at night and
everything she ate distressed her.
She writes that after her mother
