Mrs. Hetty Green is regarded as a
good deal of a nuisance by employes
of the Chemical national hank In
New York This does not worry
Mrs. Green a great deal, however, and
every day or so she appears Inside
the railings and asks a few Incisive
question of bookkeepers and clerks.
As she keeps a balance then* of some
where near $.’<,00o.onn all the while
the employes carefully conceal their
lack of reverence for the richest
woman In America, shabbily dressed
though she is invariably.
Ray Standard Baker in the Amer
ican Magazine, says the negro ques
tion in the South is at the clash
point between the “black brute” and
“the white fiend.” Cert ’. Every
white man becomes a fie ’hen the
“black brute” assaults n white wo
man. The trouble with these north
ern correspondents and students of
race sociology is that they come
South to study conditions, hut seek
only for evidence to support a theory
already held.
That President Mellon is a great
and good man is the settled convic
tion of the women in Pawtucket, It
I . who complained to him of the
soot and grime and cinders from
President Mellon’s locomotives. Her
washings in the back yard had been
ruined because of the railroad nus
sances. The order went forth from
the head of the New Haven system
that henceforth the engines should
lie regulated so that the £inoke should
not disturb my lady of the wash
tubs. Regulating the corporations
is becoming a terrific success.
John I). Rockefeller has his pri
vate benefactions of giving reduced
to a system. It is in charge of ills
almoner. Frederick T. Gates. Mr.
Gates was formerly a'Baptist clergy
man, but he has none of the man
nerisms or the apenrance of a man
of the cloth. He is always attired in
an up to date business suit, and his
manner Is brisk and incisive. He
has an office on one of the upper
floors of the Standard oil building at
2f> Broadway, where he sits for a
large part of the day at a great roll
top desk. Clerks and stenographers
are within call, and everything about
him moves with the regularity of
clockwork. Every application for
charity or for any purpose is con
sidered on its own merits, irrespec
tive of sentiment.
\n interesting situation 1ms arisen
<n Wlnnetka. 111., over tlie proposi
tion to build a municipal pas plan*.
Those who favor pivinp a franchise
to a private company to build and
operate a plant have nominated a
ticket pledped to that purpose, and
hrv p been working cm ’iietleally to
defeat th*1 municlj al id'-a At this
Juncture William Ftro- Lloyd eldest
son of the late If it Lioyd. h.o come
forward with an offer to pive Wln
netka a pas plant costing $2r,.onn as
a memorial to his father It had
•riglnally been the Idea to build a
library in memory of H D Lloyd, but
in a letter to the library committee
of Wisconsin the son stiys that he
and Ills brothers feel that Wlnncfga
needs a gas plant far more than It
needs a library, and adds that If
Wlnnetka does not Instal a munici
pal gas plant ti«* will feel very much
like deciding that “the level of gen
eral Intelligence Is such that a li
brary would be a useless feature of
village life, and therefore will prob
ably not give the library. If the gas
plant Is accepted Its earnings ran be
devoted t<> building a library.
Chinese labor In the Transvaal Is
ultimately doomed, and all other
Asiatic labor as well, under the now
government. The “Asiatic ordi
nance.” which excludes all kinds of
Asiatic immigration, bus been the
first Important legislation to pass
both branches of the new colonial
Parliament. Whnt Japan will do Is a
question of some Interest. When
Mrltlsh Columbia enacted an exclu
sion law. the Dominion government
annulled It at the request of the im
perial authorities, who sought to
avoid giving offense to the Japanese.
The Transvaal, however, is in a more
Independent position than British
Columbia: its will can be thwarted
only by the direct action of the Im
perial government In London. The
liberal ministry. If sounded by Japan
I on the subject, would probably not
venture to veto a measure which ap
pears to be demanded by an over
whelming majority of the white peo
| pie of the Transvaal. Australia’s ex
clusion law has never been even
I protested hv the Imperial govern
j ment. although the Japanese consid
ered It a reflection upon themselves.
John IV Rockefeller’s Cleveland
pastor delivered a midday sermon at
the Star theater In Cleveland on
Monday and took a dreadful fall
out of the "muckrakers,” while ac
cording to reports, "many chorus
girls listened to the sermon from the
stage wings.” In the course of his
sermon the preacher remarked:
I have seen men who In the pub
lic press have waded through oceans
of Ink and the figurative gore of the
"plutocrat.” stand with their tongues
cleaving to the rooTs of their month?
with awe and trembling when they
entered the presence of a rich man
I know*.
That "rich man I know” w’as evi
dently John D.
Mrs. Russell Sage has many ad
visers. but there is none whose opin
ions she holds in higher regard than
some of the simple and unaffected
village folk who live at Lawrence.
L. L, near her summer home. They
have a way of speaking their opin
ions frankly and they have nothing
to gain. Often last summer when
her doors were besieged by scores of
persons seeking money for all sorts
/of purposes educational, religious
or for more or less chimerical
; rhemes it was a relief for her to
talk to somebody who had no ax to
gi ind and was not looking for con
tributions.
Radium, that mysterious mineral,
a pinch of which is worth a king’s
ransom, is believed to bo existent in
tho hills or Virginia, a few hours’
ride from Washington. Government
scientists are watching with deep in
terest experiments now under way:
and if tlie tests are successful, the
wealth of Virginia will dwarf into
insignificance the riches of the Klon
dike or the Nevada mining camps.

Happy Tennessee. When one red
