Our Richest Widow Dead.
cORNELIA NJ. STEWART,
WIDOW OF rm LATE A. T. STEWART.

The richest widow In the United
States, occupant and owner of five
million dollar house, and worth it may
be, thirty million dollars, is dead. She
was remarkably well preserved woman,
and the announcement of her death
gave shock to the public. The DIS
ease which csrried her of was an acute
attack Of pneumonia. Her remains
have been laid In the crypt of the Cathe-
dral, Garden City, Long Island, tenn
pie erected by her bounty and given by
her to the Protestant Episcopal Church.
She was married to the late Alexander
7. Stewart when he was an obscure dry
goods clerk, twenty-five years old, and
she year younger. That was In the
year 1924. Her social position was su-
perior to his then, she being the
daughter of James Clinch, a New YoIk
merchant of good standing. Their
married life ended In April, 1876, when
Mr.. Stewart died, the leading dry
goods merchant Of the world. 1t is
said that during the first ten years of
her married life, Mrs. Stewart lived
surrounded by less of comfort and
luxury than were enjoyed by her ser
wants during the ten years of her widow
hood. Mrs. Stewart leaves no children,
but q considerable number of relatives.
She was a small, thin, Intellectual
looking woman, sprightly in her carriage
and address, in disposition sweet and
afcctionate. A deYout commitment
In the Protestant Episcopal Church,
she gave largely In support of religious
and philanthropic agencies. Her tastes,
naturally refined, were gratified by the
means of dress and surroundings the
most elegant. Even after she had
passed eighty years of age, she adorned
herself with diamonds in dressing for
dinner, and never neglected to make
the most of her decided natural attrac-
tons. A few years ago she began to
wear q brown wig, her snow-white hair
beginning to fall out. The reader can
Judge from the fact that she paid nine
thousand dollars In taxes last year,
how favored among women was Cor
1elis Mitchell Stewart.

The Madison Square people made so
many friends in the west, and their
great performance of Jim the Pennan
achieved so great a success that il is al
most with feelings that we have q
personal share in the triumph that we
read of the tremendous ovations which
the great New York public nightly be.
stow upon Sir Charles Young's drama
Nothing like the scenes at the theatre
has been witnessed in New York since
the production of The Two Orphans.
Seats are sold weeks in advance, and
every night there comes TO the door of
Mr.. Palmer's theatre a throng large
enough to fill the theatre again which
has TO be turned away. A concensus of
the best critical opinion is as follows:
Agnes Booth makes the hit of the piece
as Mrs. Ralston, Coroline Hills part.
z. M. Holland has captured the city
by his delineatioR of Captain Redwood,
and has made probably the greatest i'm
preston of his career; Robinson, all
agree With Western cities, is too up and
doTn-excellent at one moment, bad
at the next, too ranty, and not suf-
fcientlY polished. Pitt seems TO fill
KelceY's shoes in the quiet bits, but to
fall short in the stronger scenes. Maud
Harrison Is universally praised for a
winning delineation, though one rightly
observes that she is not at her best in
the sentimental. Massen is bolh blamed
and praised; some say he has not the
ease and pose for the English Lord; all
agree that he is a handsome manly
actor, at his best in more rugged
characters. Sbosers OF encomiums
were bestowed on lie Moyne's fairfield;
one says he loses his accent in his ex-
cited moments. but generally he is &C.
corded much the same enthusiastic
praise as is bestowed on Holland. The
excellent Mrs. Phillips, Davidge,
Fiockton and Aillward rightly
receive as much attention IS
If their parts were among the primo
pals. 1t is thought that Jim the Pen
man will crowd Mr.. Palmer's season
till Lent arrives. Some idea of the
money he must make, as well as Of his
great reserve resources, may DE gained
from 8 knowledge that the incompar-
able Stoddart, Annie Russell and Marie
Burroughs are still on his salary list.

where their services will be required.

was thought that he was al the bottom
OF he ticket speculations which made
so much stir in san Francisco at the

front door of the theatre in this city,

This week will be somewhat quiet in

and ball of the Hebrews. Thursday
next, and the Athletic tournament Sat-
urday breaking the monotony. The
programme of the former was published
Yesterday, and is exciting considerable
interest on account of the new features
1t brings forward. Prof. Krouse will
wave the baton over an orchestra of
twenty. Mr.. Weihe will play and Mr..
Scappstura and Miss Hawley will sing
duett. These with the other numbers
named yesterday viii prove very at.
tractiVe. and if the galleries are thrown
open ought to be attractive enough to
draw heavy gathering outside of the
6vc-1ollar element. The following
week win be the holiday week. and the
chances are that there will be q number
of attractions st the Theatre. The only
one positive as yet, however, is the pro-
auction Of the Silver King, which the
amateurs are rehearsn g with might and
main for the afternoon and, evening of
Thanksgiving Day. -

LONDON, August 14.-rhe cabinet council de-
cided yesterday the precise terms of the

be exceedingly brief 1t will merely give assur-
ances OF the determination OF the governments

ness will be proposed i'm parliament except the

ment hope TO be able TO prorogue r,.rliament in
September a prorogation having been deii-
nitely determined on. This being SO, 1 have
taken steps 10 learn Gladstone's intentions,
which are as follows: So far from lending him.
sell TO lead any movement OF technical parlis-
mentary obstruction, he Will not countenance
any organized attempt OF this kind. He still
holds the strongest opinions against the consti-
tutionality or advisabilty OF proroguing parlla-
ment without a disclosure of the governments
policy for Ireland. As leader of the opposition
he viii protest vehemenLly against this course.
and will declare his party viii hold the govern

may follow in Ireland. The difficulties OF tho
government may be judged from the advice

TELEPHONE EXCITEMENT.

CaVeat- What Comm Missioner Mont.
EOmery Says.

There is much excitement in telephone cir
cles to-day over the report that Prof. Gray's S
original application for telephone patent has
been reinstated at the Patent office. The re-
ported action is not equivalent to issuing a
paten; to Prof. Gray, but it reopens the case in
the Patent office independently OF the suits in
the courts, and the Pan-Electric people con-
fdently predict that decision favorable to
Pros Gray will be had in the department be-
fore the matter is settled in the courts.
STAR reporter asked Commissioner Mont
gomery concerning this rumor, and he said:
"Ihe filing OF applications for patents and of
caveats in this Office belongs to the secret
archives, and would have no right to Givulge
anything that may be recorded in this way. l
can say, however, that have heard nothing OF
any application or caveat OF Gray tor several

Hazen saw that the provisions of the sundry

duty at the signal office, and the fifth has been
sent to Woods Holl, in charge OF the telegraph

were necessary to bring the number OF men
