possessions are valued at S2,0OO,OOO, and
as rapidly as possible she is conveying her
property to her son, f. H. Green, as trus-
tee, who gives his residence as London.
Within the last three weeks a dozen trans
fers have been filed in the recorders office,
and in each case the same persons have t1g-
ured. 1t is safe to assume that before the
bill for the income tax becomes a law
Hetty r. Green will have escaped its pro-
visions. Chandler u Co., the Dearborn
street bankers, attended to Mrs Green's
business in Chicago In answer to ques-
ton regarding Green's residence, it was
said that Edward Green has not been in
England in 10 years and that he is now in
Texas
Homes for the Little Wanderers.
Rev. V. A. Cooper came on Saturday
with 1Gchildren from the Little Wanderers
Home in Boston, as was spoken Of in the
last issue of The Phoenix. -Four of these,
two little girls and two little boys, com
posed his choir, and the remaining y he
hoped to find homes for. They were ac-
companied by Mrs. Minor, matron of the
home, and Miss Smith, one of the teach
ers. DR.. Cooper preached at the Congre-
gational church Sunday morning, at the
Universalist church at $50, spoke at the
evening he spoke at the Episcopal parish
house of the workings of the home, the
children singing in each place. A collec-
ton was taken at the Uuiversalist and
Episcopal churches, the others having con-
tributed when DR.. Cooper was here some
weeks ago. The children were taken from
church Sunday morning by village people
to spend the remainder of the day, and in
many instances were kept until Monday.
They were such bright, well-behaved girls
and boys, and people were so interested in
them, that there were more places of en-
tertainment open to them than there were
children TO be entertained. They certain
ly did credit to their instruction at the
home. 1t was a pathetic sight to see them
as they gathered in the lecture room of the
Congregational church Monday morning
to meet those who wished to take one of
them, their little faces bright with antici-
patton of a home. During Monday homes
were found for eight of them, and on Tues
day for the remaining four and one which
had come to them from a neighboring
town after reaching here. The homes into
which they were taken were not all in this
town, as some were in Alstead, Westmin-
ster, Windsor, Chester, etc.
