 of Wali Strsot.
 Mrs. Moses Taylor, the widow of the famous dry-gocds merchant, says New York paper, comes generally first into the mind of tho New Yorker who bethinks him of the famousiy rich women of Manhattan Island. As a widow she seems to acquire the pre-eminence among her wealthy sex which widowhood gives to beautiful woman among her unmarried sisters. Mrs Taylor is carefully estimated to be worth not less than S15 000, eco.
 Mrs. Robert l.. Stewart, the widow of the successful sugar merchant Whosc refineries were so long objects of interest along the North river, inherited from him $500, 900 outright aid lie interest in ROCCO, GOO. Mrs. Marshall 0. Roberts, who IS often pointed out the most desirable parti among fashionable widows, has a life inter- est in s1 ,000,OoO This is much owcr, and it is believed to be much nearer the truth, than most current estimates of her pacuni- ary charms
 ''Thc Widow HanMersley" that was, now her Grace tho Duchess of Marlborough, has | @ life interest in :5,0O0,C00. She has it right hero in this city, too, in custody of New | York courts, SO, as long as she lives, she can not cease to be q New Yorker. Mrs. | oCHCll, NluO" oA louioEa I<OAA' ocrat and banker, has twelve solid millions of money while she lives. She can't will it away, however Mrs. Frederick Stevens that was, now the Duchesse de Dino, is a New Yorker still to the tune of ten real golden millions of her own, and now, ono may say, the Dukes, too. Mrs. Robert I. Livingston, who is FL bridge Gerry's mother-in- law, is worth S5,OOO, GOO Eff she's worth a cent" That's q, ,r>lI hnrc it P,,S la bless you, don't mention my namc." And 30 the old crony's identity shall remain secret. What she doesn't know a bout the rich women of New York is inaccessible, too. ''There's Mrs. Frederick Gallatin," says she, ''whose million is ill cold cash and securities, most of it. It's finely fixed she is. And Mrs. Brady Martin, who came from up the Hudson, who brings over her own brands of champagne, and who enter tans with the best of tho inc ladies in Scot land and England, too, bad cess to them. She's got two millions of her own besides all her husbands money.
 Mrs. Robert Winthrop has private fort une moro than adequate to the maintenance of even such fine old family name as hers. She has s10,OOO0 900. Mrs. Percy Pyne has S1O, ,OOO, ,0OO of her own. Mrs. Fred Nelson, Freddy Gebhart's sister, has cool million. It must always be remembered that cool million seems the most desirable kind of 8 million. The same cool million represents also the private fortune of Mrs. Matulin Livingstone Nobody will be surprised to hear that Mrs. Ogden Mills has a million | of her own.
 But o, ye young bachelors and middle | aged and old bachelors Tn search of rich | wives, think what you have lost in the way | of opportunities when you hear that the 1 two elderly Misses Rhinclander have $5,- nnN l. ! l.. &,.>. | 1t to collateral heirs with wonderfully fat accumulations!
 | Now, take Mrs. James P. Kernochen. She has s1 ,5OO, 600 In money and real estate l at q low estimate. All these estimates are | low indeed. By the same apportionment Mrs. John c. Green has at least S3, 900 OO0, and Mrs. Mason Jones, so often called by queer old people "Lady Mary Mason Jones'" she has $1 ,OO0, 900 of her own and is contest ing the Hammersley will besides.
 And so gossip goes on.
 Mrs. Josephine Aver, the widow of the 1 doctor who made 6 fortune in patent medi- cines, is said to have received from him about S5, ,OOO, 900. Mrs. Martin Bates was left by her husband s1, 50o,0 which he | made in dry goods, and Mrs. James Brown, who lives in fine house on Park avenue and Thirty-seventh street, received from her husbands estate about s4, GOO, 900, which he accumulated as a banker. Mrs. w. E Dodge is worth s4, ,0CO,O0O much of the in- come ot which she sends to the heather. Mrs. Robert Goelet is worth s. OO0 GOO, and Mrs. John c. Green, the widow of the Princeton College patron, is reputed to be worth S1O,OOO,OOG. Mrs. John Minturn is another wealthy New York widow; she Is said to be worth s2,O00O0o, and her father was an Asplnwal. Governor Morgan $ widow is worth several millions; ClarksOn arfS NyYHn hSl i'm m from his estate, and Mrs. Edwin Stevens who owns 'Castle Point" at Hoboken, is one of the richest widows in America, and counts her wealth by millions Mrs. Paran Stevens husband made $6, OOO,0 in hotels and left her tho Victoria and share in the Fifth Avenue.
 Butafter tkis plethora of millions feminine who is the ricAest woman in New York, anC consequently, without much doubt. the richest in the United States, and perhaps the richest woman in the world? She isn't young and she isn't handsome, but she made her money and keeps it. Where does 'sHetty" Green live! Look in direct ories and you won't find out.
