H. Thayer; this firm continued in ASPINWALL, Joseph: existence until 1858, Mr. Arnoux demon- strating his legal knowledge and ability and gaining a promising practice at the Bar; upon the dissolution of the firm he engaged in practice for himself, and con- tinued for ten years without a partner; he then became a member of the firm of Wright, Merrihew & Arnoux, and in 1870 formed the legal partnership of Arnoux, Ritch & Woodford, a business connection which persisted for twelve years subse- quently.

and great-grandson of John Jacob Astor, the founder of the family in America. Mr. Astor received his education at St. Paul's School, Concord, N. H., and Har- vard University; on leaving college he followed the example of his father in making an extended European tour, and on his return to the U. S. travelled ex- tensively in Cuba and Mexico, and made several expeditions to the Rocky Moun- tain region along the line of the Northern Pacific R. R .; he is an ardent lover of sports and outdoor recreation and is an active member of many country clubs; great as those interests are, they are quite secondary to those connected with the management of his vast inherited estate, which commands his daily atten- tion when in New York, where much time also is absorbed by his duties as director of many banks and trust companies; in 1897 he completed the Astoria Hotel, which immediately adjoined the Waldorf Hotel that had been built by his cousin, William Waldorf Astor, the joint hotels constituting the Waldorf-Astoria, one of the largest and costliest hotels in the world; the llotel St. Regis, opened in 1904, is another great hotel built by Colonel Astor at large expense; he was appointed Colonel on the staff of Governor Morton in 1895; on the outbreak of the war with Spain, he gave a complete and fully equipped and manned battery of artillery to the national government; May 9, 1898, he was commissioned Inspector General with the rank of Lt. Col. U. S. V., with orders to report to Major General J. C. Breckenridge and to accompany him on an inspection of the camps of Chicka- mauga Park, Huntsville, Tampa. Key West, etc .; he was subsequently detached and ordered to report to Major General W. R. Shafter, at Tampa. Fla., for duty on his staff and to accompany the army of invasion in Cuba; he took part in the operations of the Fifth Army Corps, in- cluding the battle, siege and surrender of Santiago de Cuba, and after the surrender of the Spanish forces, was ordered by Major General Shafter, commanding the Army of Invasion, to deliver the official terms of capitulation to the Secretary of War; he received his discharge from the army in September, 1898, and was rec- ommended by Major General Shafter, in his report to the Secretary of War. to be brevetted Colonel for "faithful and mer- itorious service;" Colonel Astor has a srong inventive and mechanical mind, as several patents issued to him for useful devices very aptly testify; he exhibited

his pneumatic machine to remove worn- out material from roads before new stone is laid down, at the Chicago World's Fair, and was awarded a first prize. It acts by means of an air-blast which blows off the pulverized stone after it has been crushed; it is a device that is likely to prove of great utility in the macadamizing of country roads, and has been highly commended by the Scientific American; an other invention decidedly more am- bitious, but perhaps of some doubtful utility, is one to induce rain; its purpose is to move large volumes of surface air by a suitable mechanical device, and con- vey it to the upper atmosphere through a conduit. The idea underlying the de- vice is that by moving a volume of warm moist air to the colder upper regions and preventing its mingling with the atnio- sphere while ascending it will discharge its moisture as rain; the practical appli- cation of this idea has not yet been fully realized. Colonel Astor, as yet, having contented himself with proposing the theory rather than with developing the mechanical means for its demonstration, he has also invented a practical turbine engine. and after obtaining American and foreign patents, presented the entire de- vice to the public; in addition to his mechanical inventions. Colonel Astor has entered the field of authorship and has shown a marked literary ability in his book entitled. A Journey in Other Worlds, a Romance of the Future; the story is an ideal conception of the inhabitants of the planets Jupitor and Saturn, and is a cur- ious and interesting piece of fiction. with a plot handled in a very original manner; in 1891 he married Miss Eva L. Willing. of Philadelpha. a descendant of a prom- inent Pennsylvania family whose ances- tors came to America with William Penn. and who still hold much of the original family property; this marriage united two of the leading Knickerbocker and Quaker family stocks; there are two children, a son. William Vincent Astor, born 1832. and a daughter. Colonel Astor's chief pleasure is automobiling, in which he takes a great delight; he is very expert in driving his cars. as he has a thorough and practical knowledge of their mechan- ism and construction. Cruising on his large steam yacht Nourmahal is another form of outdoor enjoyment. Colonel As- tor is a member of many clubs, including the Metropolitan. Union, Knickerbocker, The Brook, New York Yacht, Riding, Racquet and Tennis, Country, Tuxedo, Society of Colonial Wars, etc. His town
