When Cisco failed it took two cabs TO
carry away the plate, and the securi-
| ties which Mrs. Green had on deposit
were found to be over $40 900 ,OOo.
"Hetty" Green has two children, q
boy and girl. The girl is thirteen
and the boy is fourteen years old. The
boy is an invalid, but his mother SAYS
she intends TO make him the richest
nan in America.
Everybody down in "the street,
calls her ''Hetty" Green. Her mother
was somewhat of an heiress and her
father had increased the family pile to
80 9,OO0, 900 at the time of his death.
This fortune Hetty, as the only child,
inherited, and she at once went to
work to increase it. Much of her for
tune was invested in ships, but these
she considered dangerous and sold,
placing the proceeds in good interest
paying mortgages. She bought these
mortgages in small towns all over
England, travelling about and investi-
eating the securities for herself. Short
ly after her fathers death a maiden
of hers died and left her S4 ,OOO, 900
more. The Sl3, 900, 900 that Hetty
Green thus inherited she had increased
by careful speculation to about s2O,-
100000 at the time of her mar
riage. This is the romance of the
mating of "the richest woman in the
world" There were no turtle doves
I'm the words she whispered though.
1t is said she picked out that particular
young man for her husband because
he happened to send her tailor's bill
receipted instead of valentine by mis-
taken direction of the envelope. The
bill was for cheap suit of clothes,
and "Hettie" thought if a man with
500, 900 could get along on twenty
five dollar suits of clothes he could not
be very extravagant. A few days ago
she made half dozen men give up to
her 50, 900, 900 worth of securities to
which she claimed she had right.
They gave them up without struggle
teo. There are plenty of Wall Street
operator. who are afraid to cope with
"Hettie." She isn't pretty, but she's
as smart as chained lightning.

THE EARLY FLY.

II h In the morning early,
When we're sometimes cross and suyfy
And we feel that We must sleep trifie more
That the worst of all snnoyers,
The great prince of rest destroyers,
The pesky fly begins his gay and festive soar
We pretend we do not hear him,
That it's not worth while to fear him,
And we try TO make ourselves believe We
sleep;
Then he lights on arm or shoulder,
But he very soon grows bolder,
And directly for our ears begins to creep.
Then II is we give up dreaming,
When our brain with wild thoughts TEEN.
ing
We proceed to kill him with fearful slap;
With slam we spread our fingers
All about the spot he fingers,
5ut the fly escapes with nothing but the slap
This performance oft repeated
Gets our patience overheated,
And we swear the house Of flies shall now be
shorn;
Then We presently forget it,
But we grieyously refret it
When We try to sleep again tomorrow morn.

The Romance of a Store Clerk

| To-day I want to tell YOU a most
romantic story about young sales
man who was employed in a celebrated
clothing house on Chestnut street, un-
til about eighteen months ago, at a
salary of $50 q week. This young
salesman is Mr.. E. L. Robinson. If
you are familiar with New York, you
have often seen "Casweu & Hazard"
signs. They hang upon half dozen
retail drug stores in various parts of
Gotham. Some years ago Mr.. Caswen
died, leaving his widow, as i am in
formed, fortune of considerably over
$500 900.
Two years ago Mr.. E. L. Robinson
went to Newport to visit his sister, and
there was introduced to Mrs. Caswell,
lady about his own age. 1t was a
case of love at first sight on both sides.
Newport society remarked it; and the
disappointed suitors, setting to work
TO learn Mr.. Robinson's antecedents,
soon found out that he was salesman
in a Philadelphia retail clothing store.
They spread this report, but it had no
effect on Mrs. Caswell, who seemed to
be as completely in love as was ever a
girl of 16. The engagement was soon
announced, and this was followed bv
quiet marriage. Many of the most
fashionable ladies and gentlemen of
Newport attended the reception held
by the newly married pair after their
return from a short wedding trip.
This was about eighteen months ago.
Considerable astonishment was ex-
cited in this city by what was widely
termed "Nfr. Robinson's lucky catch"
When he resigned his position as a
hirty-dollar-a-week salesman his for
mer comrades congratulated him, but
in such melancholy fashion that it
was plain to see that they slightly en-
vied his good fortune. The ssrangest
thing about the whole affair was that
nothing got into the newspapers at the
time. For five months the bride and
bridegroom led a life without cloud.
The possession of so such money did
not make Mr.. Robinson lose his head,
and the change in his circumstances
did not make him distant with old
friends. Every one who saw the
couple remarked their evident affection.
They were devoted to each other, and
this perhaps will account for the fact
that they were seen so little in fashion
able society. Their honeymoon went
on like midsummer Nights Dream"
all poetry and roses and love, and it
seemed that it would never end. They
travelled occasionally, and made plans
for the future, when about five months
after the wedding Mrs. Robinson fell
Ill.
The physicians did not consider her
ailment anything but slight malady,
and so her husband regarded it. He
cared for her with all the tenderness
of a lover, and she never seemed at
ease when he was out of her sight.
But as the days went on and the bride
grew steadily worse, forebodings came
TO the young Philedelphian, and he
pictured to himself only too truly the
future. His worst fears were fulfilled
and his wife died, leaving to him, as
her sole heir, her fortune of consider
ably over half million dollars. For
some time after she passed away he
was tnconsolable, but his doctors ad-
vised travel, and he left the country

The Treasury Portfolio.

WAsHINGTON, d. c., Fec. I'm
pointing out the impossiDility of secur-
ing anyone to succeed Secretary Win
dom from distance within ten days,
the Post to- day says: The president
opens wide the door for speculation
and to those who read between the
lines his determination to place John
n. New of Indiana, now consul general
at London, at the head OF the treasury
department seems apparent. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. New was very
desirous OF entering the cabinet. and it
was thought at one time that he had
the treasury in his grasp. Since he
has been in London he has been in cor
respondence with Secretary Window
and the president on financial matters.
and his qualifications are such rs to
admit of no doubt regarding his abili-
ty to fill the position. That Indiana
has already one cabinet officer would
not, in all probability, deter the presi-
dent from appointing his friend to the
vacant secretaryship.
Senator Spooner. whose name has
been mentioned in connection with
the vacancy, in conversation On the
subject said: Il am not OF the finan-
cial training to permit me eonscienti-
ously to accept the treasury portfolio.
The president would not think of offer
ing it TO me, and if he did 1 would not
accept. Please scoo this nonsense and
gossip, if you can, about my going
into q cabinet position
Senator Aldrich says that there is
no reason why his name should be
used. that he will not be rendered the
portfolio and if he should be, he could
not accept it.

Closing up LegI.iatlon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Both houses
OF congress will meet at 2 o'clock to-
day in order to enable the members to
attend the funeral OF Secretary VIM
dom. which will take place ut noon.
There is a great disposition on the
part of the senate to dispose OF some
appropriation bills during the week.
and it is probable that the fortiiica-
tions bill. which was laid aside tempo
rarily, will be passed and that the
pensions and District OF Columbia bills
may also be taken up and considerable
progress made on them during the
week. Mr.. Blair had good reason to
believe that his bill to settle the ac-
counts of laborers and mechanics aris-
ing under the eight-hour law will be
considered and even passed before the
week is out, and Mr.. Platt is confident
that he can call up the copyright bill
without any difficulty. There is pos
sibility-a slight one, however. that
an attempt will be made to bring the
bankruptcy bill before the senate. The
procedure in that body will depend
mainly, however, on the action Of n
republican caucus to be held early in
the week.
The greater portion OF the time OF
the house during the coming week will
be occupied with the consideration of
appropriation bills. When the diplo-
matte appropriation bill is passed Mr..
Farquhar will make an effort to have
the subsidy shipping bill disposed Of
and two days will probably be allowed
for consideration of this bill. The leg
islative appropriation bill will then be
taken up. and its consideration will
consume the remainder of the week.

Senator ingalls,, Intentions.

Topeka, Kas.. Jan. Ex-senator
ingalls, left Topeka yesterday for Atch-
ison, where he will remain until Tues
day, when he leaves for Washington.
The manner in which Ingalls, accepts
his defeat is characteristic OF the man.
He arose this morning at q reasonable
hour and appeared at breakfast with
the same cheerful countenance which
he has worn since the inception of the
battle and which still remained when
the news of the ballot for senator came
from the house. Since the news of
his defeat Senator ingalls, has received
two offers by wire OF positions. The
Detroit Tribune wired Offering him an
editorial position and the manager OF
lecture bureau offered him $500 q
night for thirty lectures, the cities to
be chosen by himself. Senator ingalls,
will probably accept the proposition
to deliver lectures, but will decline the
Tribune offer. In an interview TO-DAY
he said:
i shall probably devote my time to
literary work. / will never consent to

The Dead Secretary.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.-The presi-
dent has recalled the invitations to the
army and navy reception tomorrow, to
Mrs. Harrison's reception on the 9TH
prox., and the public reception on the
10th prox. 1t is understood that other
dates for these events will be an
nounced hereafter.
The president has conferred with

Secretary of the Treasury Nettleson

ute in making a temporary provision
for the vacancy. The conclusion was
reached that in case OF death the head
OF the department next in rank or Off
cial station could act for q period of
ten days from the time of death and no
longer.
A meeting OF the Minnesota senators
and representatives and citizens OF
Minnesota residing in Washington was
held, at which appropriate action re-
specting the death of Secretary Win
DOWN was taken. Highly eulogistic
resolutions were adopted and provid
ing that the delegation in congress and
citizens of Minnesota resident or So

remains are still in the vault at Grace
land cemetery and there is no i'm
mediate prospect OF their being re-
moved for cremation. It is stated that
the real reason for the delay in the
matter is the opposition OF Mrs. Ab-
bott to having her daughters body
burned. The thought OF cremation is
abhorent to the aged lady and she is
said to be completely prostrated at
what she calls the horrible cere-
mony." Consequently the executors
OF the will vino live in New York and
have the matter in charge are desirous
of avoiding. as far as possible any
further infiction or pain by what may
Sc called undue haste in carrying out
