the judiciary committee, provides
that all bills Of lading or instruments
in writing in the nature thereof shall

Mary AudersOn's Fortune.
New York World /

New York World.1
Mary Anderson, / am told by one
who knows, is worth cool $3.50, 900.
The bulk of it is invested In United
States bonds, and mortgages on valu-
able real estate. She owns sous
property in Brooklyn, a good deal OF
real estate here in New York. She is
also the possessor of very pretty
pile of New York Central stock ami
some little Lake Shore. At one time
she owned block of Louisville &
Nashville, but was out II it when
those shares rolled down hill. Mary
has $50, 900 in cash to her credit in
bank in this city. That is the extent
of her ready money. Her only great
extravaganza they tell me, takes the
direction of large expenditures upon
her youngest slSte", whose education
she is taking care Of iii a inuniticent
way.
1t Is pleasing to know that Mary
Anderson has assumed full control
of ner own affairs at last. They used
to be absolutely in the hands of Doc.
Griffin, who ''ailowed' ner little
money now and then with a st;ngy
hand. Now she dictates to him SUI
premely. He receives liberal salary
from her for managing the affairs of
the concern, and he has to account to
her every week as rigidly as though
she didn't know him from an old
boot. The change of base fretted the
Docs naughty Kentucky spirit for
time, but he finally bowed to fate and
now regards his surroundings with
calm but ungrammatical serenity.
Mary has no idea of indulging in
matrimony for long time to come.
Size once said in my hearing; ''If
ever reach my ambition 1 may be-
satisfied to settle down to a peaceful
domestic life. But l can't do my
duty as wife and remain on the
stage, aud shall never marry until
am done with acting altogether"
I am inclined to admire Mary's solid
common seuse. She is not u woman
who could entertain any respect for
man who would consent to become
tail to her kite as be would have to
who would follow her around the
country carrying her shawl and
keeping her feet warm. At the ago
of "a, with large fortune Of her own
making, Mary Anderson has good
deal to be proud OF. She also has Doc
Grifdn.
