Mrs. Hetty Green's NapoleOnic Methods In
Increasing Her Wealth.
1t used to be thought, and not so many
years ago either, that women were
possessed of no business capacity, but
in this city conclusively proves that
they possess better business qualitica-
tons than the average man.
There are many ladies in New York
who have acquired fortunes by their
own exertions.
Others have taken care Of and largely
increased tho fortunes left them by their
ancestors.
Mrs. Hetty Green is a type of tho
smart business woman. Her father left
her 49, 900 when he died, fifteen
years ago.
Mrs. Green has increased this amount
to SIS, 900, 900. She is married, but the
property all stands in her own name,
and her husband takes no part in the
management of the business. Most OF
Mrs. Green's property is in real estate
and railroads.
She owns hundreds of acres in the
city limits Of Chicago, and she Is the
largest individual holder Of Louisville
& Nashville stock. Mrs. Green takes
no advice from any body. She tells her
lawyers and her agents what to do, and
they do it without question.
Parties who have had dealings with
Mrs. Green say that she is shrewder
than any business man they ever met.

AS manufacturers abroad claim that
the supply of ivory is too small to meet
the demands of industry and art, an ex-
tensive industry has arisen in France
to supply an artificial substitute for
natural ivory. Until recently the sub
stitute used has been obtained by in
iecting white wood with chloride of
lime, under strong pressure. Within a
short time, however, it has been estab-
lished that substitute may DO pre-
pared with the bones of sheep and waste
pieces of deer and kid skins. The bones
are for this purpose macarated and
bleached for two weeks in chloride OF
lime, then heated by steam along with
the skin SO as to form liquid mass. to
which are added a few hundredths OF
alum; the mass is then filtered, dried in
the air, and caused to harden in bath
of alum, the result being white, tough
plates, which are more easily worked
than natural ivory. Y. Ledger.

DO WOMEN RUIN MEN7
A Charge Which. According to a Feminine
Writer, Is Preposterous.


Writer, Is Preposterous.
Women are frequently accused OF
running their fathers and husbands by
willful extravaganza, with an emphasis
on the adjective. They probably do as
sist at their downfall but from lack
of understanding OF the value and use OF
money. The idea of any normal repre-
sentative woman being so malignant,
or reckless, or inconSiderate as to graft
fly her taste, love of adornment, or her
sense of luxury, with any consciousness
or suspicion of such a result, is per-
posterous, especially when she is sup
posed to esteem and love the man she
deliberately undoes. Such a thing
is so entirely foreign to her
nature as to be beyond hypothesis.
She would not bo capable of it il
she were totally Indifferent to the man.
Nothing but the densest selfishness or
the deepest malice would furnish the
motive for such an act, which is, as
rule, incompatible with woman's nature
or wOman'S methods.
At any rate, is it not an exception
when a woman ruins man financially,
or otherwise, indeed? He is very ready
to proclaim himself ruined by her; he
seems to think that the charge relieves
him. He is SO constantly the cause OF
her ruin that he is anxious to turn tho
tables on her. And to be ruined by
woman sounds romantic, is calculated
to excite pity and sympathy, to put him
in the position of a martyr, specially in
the eyes of his own sex. Men almost
always ruin themselves, in monetary
sense particularly, but lack the courage
to avow it. Their weakness destroys
them, and they dislike to acknowledge
weakness; they prefer to give it the
name of some picturesque wickednsss.

NOVEL IDEAS FROM FLORIDA.

The spat between Senators Chandler and
Call in the Senate, yesterday, reveals two
remarkable assertions on the part of the
Florida Senator. The first is the assertion
that Senator who objects to political
murders, and therefore fires the Southern
heart, is responsible for the murders. This
leaves the case OF the wolf who accused the
lamb of muddYing the stream below him,
away in the background. Its unique
character is rivaled by the assertion that it
is the privilege of Senator in overhauling
the Congressional Record reports Ito cor
rect, to explain, to revise, to amplify the
language used BY him, so as to express more
clearly the idea intended to be conveyed"
The logic which charges murder on those
who denounce it, and which revises and
smpli6esreports SO as to make new speeches
of them, are alife peculiar products of
American politics.

"THE Deacon's Daughter is not very
strong play, but Miss Annie Pixley gen.
orally contriVes to make it amusing. Last
night at the Grand Miss Pixley was as sprightly
and winsome q Ruth as one could well i'm
agine. She seems to have completely recovered
from her recent indisposition, and danced with
her accustomed verve and grace. Several new
songs and medleys have been introduced in Or
der to show of Miss Pixley's voice, which, by
the way, appears to grow sweeter and clearer
every day. The wash Tub Song' and a
charming plantation melody burlesque were
encored very justly again and again.
Miss Pixleys company is a fair one. The
Deacon personated by NJ. G. DAILY, was a good
character sketch; and Annie Douglas, as Mrs.
RonetUebb, made as much of the part as the
part permitted. John Burke was a conven.

THE APPRECIATION OF THE GIFT.

The passage by both branches of Councils,
yesterday, of the ordinance accepting Mr..
Carnegie's offer to build and establish the
million dollar libraries outlined in his
letter, was accompanied by speeches reveal
ing the deep impression made on all minds
by Mr.. Carnegie's munifcence
That gentleman has certainly stimulated
all minds and provided field for eulogistic
oratory. The results of this were seen at
the Allegheny ceremonies last week; and in
Councils yesterday, the occasion called
forth the most enthusiastic speeches. More
important than the production of oratory is
the forcible manner in which this remark
able example has started the public mind
into thinking. Rich men see before them
the most cogent lesson that the true
use Of wealth is to benefit their fellow
men. Poor men have no less
forcibly set before them the gospel of uni
versal brotherhood, and can draw the infer
ence that the true aim of life is to do what
lies within the power of each man. whether
he is rich or poor, to make the world better
and happier. All are taught that the true
respect of the people for wealth is attained,
not by the mere possession of riches, but by
the power of riches to benefit mankind.
For this moral stimulation, as we'll as for
the material gains which are expected to
flow from Mr.. Carnegie's generosity, the
public gratitude Is due. Our speakers do
well to vie with each other in praise of the
giver; and the public will best show their
appreciation of the gift by making it most
useful to the greatest possible number.

STEAM HEATERS PROMISED.

The announcement is made that the Penn
sylvania Railroad has completed arrange
ments by which all the passenger cars on its
lines, as well as on those of the Pennsyl-
vania Company, will be heated by steam
next winter. This is very good news, only
alloyed by the recollection that very SIM
liar declaration was made about year ago,
but was wholly unfulflled SO far as this
winter is concerned. There is every reason
to believe that the pledge will be made good
by next winter. A road of such generally
perfect appointments as the Pennsylvania
Railroad cannot afford to lag behind the age
in matter so important to the safety Of the
travelling public. The mild winter has been
the principal influence in keeping down the
number of people burned to death in rail-
road wrecks this year. Nature cannot be
expected to continue that merciful interposi-
tion next season.

railroads. He bases this idea on the asser-
ton that the Government has 1nterfered
with the railroads and made it Impossible
for them to earn dividends; and conse-
quently asserts that the best thing to do is
for the National Government to buy all the
railroads and run them as Government prop
ertv.
The idea is founded on false assertion.
The Government has not interfered with a
single right Of the railroads to operate their
business for profit, just as individuals can.
What the Government has done Is to re-
strain the abuse of powers that the railroads
have, and that private individuals have not.
in order to prevent those abuses beng used
to the detriment OF the people. Whatever
lack of prosperity there is among the rail-
roads is not due to Governmental interfer-
ence; but to their own vices of stockwater-
ing, speculative manipulations and cut
throat wars pursuance of the regulation
combination policy.
The real animus of this proposition is
shown by the remark, in connection there
with, that the valuation of the roads is
$4,000, 900, 600 which the Government credit
would be sufficient to raise. OF course it
would; and would it not suit the railway
owners Of the $4,000, 900, 900 of that total
that is purely fctious according to the as
sertion of Mr.. H. V. Poor, to unload it on
the Government at par? 1t would be very
profitable operation after creating $4,OOO,-
600. 900 of stock valuations by the aid of the
lithograph presses, to charge upon the
Government the responsibility for the fail
ure to earn dividends upon these fat values,
and to make the Government take the paper
values at their own valuation.
But perhaps when this proposition is ex-
smined by the people it will be respectfully
but firmly declined, without thanks.
