He Is especially in terested in doclul movements and in politics. la the Fifth. The bridegroom of today is the fifth in the line of the shrewd fiA* trader who founded the family fortune. His father was the last Colonel John Jacob Astor and his mother was Ava F. Willing, of Philadelphia. Colonel Astor's father was William Astor, and his father, William B. Astor, who was the bop of the first John Jacob. Vincent was born in the mansion of his grandfather at Fifth avenue and Thirty-fourth street, where the Wal dorf-Astoria now stands. He was deli cate In his boyhood, but his preference for open-air life has done much for him. Despite his handicaps In body be pro gressed with hls studies and was at Harvard when the Titanic sank. This ended his schooling. He took the vast responsibilities of the Astor estate very seriously and decided he must devote his entire time to it. Passion for Autos. He would have been a model youth had it not heen for a passion for automo biles. He smoked only three cigars a. day and drank scarcely at all. But he was repeatedly In motor car smashes. Recently he purchased a hydroaeroplane, towed it t\ Ferncliffe, and was only prevented from using It by the earnest persuasions of that little group of elder ly advisers who have guided him so fe licitously since the death of his father. He purchased a prize-winning automo bile of Caleb Bragg and he owns a swift hydroplane. He also likes tennis. Like his father, Vincent is entertained by popular forms of amusements, such as musical comedies. He Is a great first nlghter. Last November, M¥.

Of late Mr. Astor has been very active in New York movements. He has be come Interested in the police department and has put up prizes for the boys of athletes of the public schools. He plung ed into the last municipal campaign as an adherent of John Purroy Mitchel, having a desk asigned to him and un doubtedly doing a great deal to assure the success of the Fuslonists. In social piovements he has often been In conference with far older men, who found In him a quiet but capable man of ideas with whom they liked to work. He is one of several multi-millionaires who have commenced systematic back-fire against the loan sharks of the country.

My wife felt weak and was easily tired and was also troubled with various pains, but since she 'took Peruna she is well and strong.” the invaders will leave or will go to Mexico City. Unknown. The progress of mediation is en lirely unknown here, but is discussed with animation. Opening among competent observers is divided, some believing that Huerta by accepting the proposal for mediation in spirit as reported in Washington dispatches, is playing for more time for a sur prise as he did in the Tampico inci dent. Shuttle Trains. Shuttle trains continue to run from Vera Cruz to the point where Gen eral Maas destroyed the railroad to the capital city and there meet pas sengers from the trains coming from Mexico City. Consul Canada says that practically all Americans in his district have been accounted for.

Hopes Raised. It developed however that they pitch ed their endeavors at settling the entire vexing problem. Carranza's acceptance was pleasing to President Wilson and Secretary Bryan and today their hopes of a broad and satisfactory adjustmen. of the Mexican crisis apparently were raised. In the event that each factor in the three-cornered problem of diplomacy were to agree to a general truce, ♦*»- next move of the envoys could n< foreseen. What demands likely won ne made on all sides and what might be conceded were absorbing conversation topics in diplomatic and official circles today. "Good Offices.” Up to this time neither Huerta nor tlie Washington government has signi fied what points will he demanded If terms for mediation are reached. They simply have accepted the "good offices” of the South American republics in their effort to bring peace out of a menacing situation. Reports early today that Huerta's minister of war had announced that he had been Informed that the Pacific po-t of Manzanillo had been shelled "by an American warship” and that marines had been landed at Salina Cruz were discredited. Rear Admiral Howard, who was In close touch with the navy depart ment up to a late hour last night had rtported that quiet prevailed on ths western coast. Feature of Day. The diplomatic situation today con tinued to overshadow interest In the plans of the army and navy for future developments. Assumption of supreme command at Vera Cruz by Brigadier General Funston was a feature of the day In the southern field while provisions for the hundreds of refugees arriving at United States ports anr care of those who still remain In Mexico kept military officials busy.

The subject of the sermon tonight at the Union Revival meeting will be "The Judgment." This is a sequel to the one last night on the subject of "Hell,” in which the evangelist set forth with telling effect and convinc ing proofs from the word of God the 1 fact of eternal future punishment for those who are not saved through Christ. He showed that the duration of this punishment is set forth in the Scripture by the use of the same word as in "eternal life,” and to express tho eternity of God. And he declared that the only reason which 'substantiated the other theories which explain hell are sentimental or theoretical and not from the exegesis of the Scriptures. This morning at St. John’s Mr. Wright preached pn the subject, “The Holy Spirit at work in the church and from the church to the world.” He explained that the Spirit was sent to the church, and to each one in the church to endue them the world.” He explained that tho with power to live the Christian life and to witness for Christ in the world. It is felt that the Interest in the meeting is deepening and touching with helfulness all portions of the city. ‘FRIENDLY OFFICES’ OF EUROPE DON’T INCLUDE CHANGE U. S.
