From Gay New York
I
New York, November 21.—Hetty
Howland Robinson Green, who Is
more easily recognizable as Mrs.
Hetty Green, is today receiving the
congratulations of fnends upon reach
ing her seventy-third birthday. 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. While she
doesn't employ a brass band to attract
r. crowd while she brags of her bene

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.

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

Oh, Those Kidsi
Next Thursday, according to the
most reliable reports from Washing
ton, will be Thanksgiving Day. 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.
