De spite the tact that she is weighed down by the cares and troubles en tailed by the possession of millions, and the further misfortune of living in Hoboken, the "richest woman in the world" is still a spry old person, able and ready to hold up her end in any transaction involving the inter change of the coin of the realm. When the aged but lively Hetty took up her residence some months ago in a fashionable New York hotel, the fawning sypochants of New York society gathered about the feminine; financier, hoping to receive some small crumbs from her table. In this expectation they were disappoint ed. Hetty received her new friends with politeness, but the strangle-hold which she always keeps on her purse strings was not relaxed for a mo ment. Taken by and large, Mrs. Green Is a sensible old woman, and it didn't require any extended period for her keen eyes to perceive the empty-pat edness of what is called society. Then she gathered up her faded and worn skirts, took a firmer grip on her pock etbook and hied herself back to Ho boken, where she now resides. Her present address Is No. 1,309 Bloom field street, Hoboken, N. J„ where a capacious waste basket awaits the "begging letters" which jk<ur tn upon Mrs. Green in every mall. At that, Mrs. Green Is not so stingy as is generally believed.

NA T HAN'S Shoe Factory. 120 East Pine Street factions, there is reason to believe that the world's richest woman is not utterly lacking in charitable instincts. Few financiers have more extensive interests than has Mrs. Green. Near ly every important corporation in the world has some of its stocks or bonds in Hettys strong box, and she has extensive real estate possessions in New York, Chicago, Texas and else where. She personally superintends this vast estate, and the man shrewd enough to cheat her in a trade has j not yet been born. In fact, many j famous financiers have in the past ! been saved from disaster by appealinig to Mrs. Green. Incidentally, they have paid roundly for their salvation. Mrs. Green's first husband was Ed ward Mott Robinson, who died in 1865, leaving her a large fortune, which she has doubled many times by shrewd and judicious investments. In 1867 Mrs. Green, then a wealthy widow, acquired her present cogno men by marrying Edward H. Green, who died in 1902. Since then, many and divers men have made goo-goo eyes at the sprightly widow, but with out effect. Bond Issue. It takes a lot of money to conduct the municipal government of a big town like New York. This statement will be vouched for by Comptroller Metz, upon whose shoulders rests the formidable hurden. of providing for the financial solvency of the city. Just now the treasury isn't overflowing with coin, and In order to "raise the wind" and keep the receipts within hailing distance of the expenditures, the comptroller has had to arrange another bond issue. The new issue will be of the tidy sum of $12,500,000 and will he sold Monday. Twelve millions will run for fifty years, while the small balance will be redeemable in a decade. The bonds will bear 4 per cent, interest. The last two public sales of city bonds have been at 4 1-2 per cent,, but the comptroller believes that the election of a new Theodore of the United States, in the person of William H. Taft, has restored confidence to such an extent that the new issue of 4's will be greedily licked up by investors. For the convenience of out of town capitalists desiring to invest In these bonds, the writer will gladly act as* broker for a reasonable commission, Cash must accompany the communi cation and no attention will be paid to letters containing less than a mil lion dollars. Awful Word in Town. •'Dampskibactiesalskabet come into court." That's what John McSherry, crier in the court of Justice Platzek, had to tear out of his vocal organs this week. At the hour of rushing to press, it is reported that he will recover. The "Dam-and-so-forth" isn't a new cuss word or the name of a breakfast food, although It is quite worthy of either. It's a Norwegian corporation, and it inflicted itself upon the New York courts by filing a suit which has to do With the stranding of the Nor wegian steamship Hermod outside of the harbor of Cardenas on February 21, 1905. Hermod, Ta-ta, Mr. Devil. Mr. Henry W. Savage's "Devil," Henry E. Dixey, has gone hence from the Garden Theatre, and the remain ing disciples of Mephlstopheles are playing to audiences that daily shrink in number. It is evident that the vogue of His Satanic Travestry is a thing of the past and even the genius of Mr. Arliss, head "Devil" to Belasco, cannot long keep the Hungarian com edy before the American public. Old Nick had a huge vogue while he last ed, but It was evident from the first that he was too subtle for Americans. A drama which bears the title of "Mary Jane's Pa will succeed "The Devil" at the Garden Theatre, and will have its first metropolitan pe#r formance on Monday night. Another new dramatic offering for Monday w n he ed lioh md be sts le fpal de a :on te ited >ve ?s George's church, which has ^a < gregation composed of J. Ptam Morgan and nearly 8,000 others sons.

Also, in New York it will mark the Upris ing of the Kids. A hundred thousand, more or less, of smutty-faced boys and girls, apparently unprovided with parents, will smear their frontispieces with lampblack and other decorative materials and swarm out on the streets to play the part of public beg gars. Wearing the most outlandish costumes available, the kids will gath er about every adult passer-by and beg clamorously for alms. The pedestrian who has disposed of all his available pennies, nickels and dimes will be hooted and insulted by the little cher ubs. As an education in politeness and self respect. Thanksgiving Day in the metropolis is a howling success. Just why parents possessed of any remaining remnants of proper pride should allow their young hopefuls to participate in such debasing revels and public exhibitions of the spirit of street-corner beggary is a secret which I am unable to explain. Cer tainly, such a general and widespread exhibition of juvenile cupidity would be possible in no other city than New York. TITLES OF GREAT PLAYS. "The Traitor" Like "The Clansman," Is a Name That Attracts the At tention of the Playgoer. Playwrights generally lay great stress upon the title of their plays, and It is a well known fact thta the names of some plays have materially helped their success. Whether or not it was a superstition the last Charles Hoyt always used the "A" in all of his titles. At the same time "The" seems to be the lucky adjective. The greatest successes of the past twelve months have had such titles as "The Thief," "The Witching Hour," "The Devil," and for three years past "The Clansman" has has broken all records. "The Traitor" is a title that would at tract any playgoer to the box-office. No play with such a title could fail to be intensely dramatic. Naturally a play must live up to its title. "The Traitor" does more than this for it is a play that would attain the heights of success even were it nameless There is no gainsaying the fact, how ever, that a telling title helps a 'great Play especially in its early days. The spreading of the news of a play's suc cess is also made easier when the title is one that sticks in the memory. The triumph of "The Traitor" was perhaps to be expected for the mil lions who have seen "The Clansman" naturally are eager to see its dra matic sequel. The permanency of this success is assured toy the markable power of the play. It re quires no prophet to foresee that "The Traitor" will, like "The Clansman," become one of the classics of the South. This thrilling story of the de cline and fall of the Ku Klux Klan will be presented at the Auditorium the first of next month. a w n re a ^GLASSES Fitted correctly by Opti cian at Ltllus Jewelry store. 11-17-tf.
