firm tones. The quartette chanted an
anthem. His grace pronounced the

The Ice BREAKING UP.-The ice
gorged suddenly in the Susquehanna
at Port Deposit yesterday, and in few
minutes parts of the town were flooded.
Several buildings were torn away, and
people moved from the lower sections
to pieces of safety. The water caught
the congregation of the Presbyterian
Chu' Oh, and many had hard time get
tin home. More damage has already
be done to private property, but less
to the railroad than during the food of
1898. The ice gorge in the Allegheny
liver at Ford City, Pa, broke, flooding
the glass works and large number of
tenement houses.
At Havre de Grace the river was
clear of ice and strong current was
running.
On Saturday the ice in the Potomac
river from Hancock to Harper's Ferry
moved off without damage. At places
it was fourteen inches thick. The river
rose Is feet above normal at Williams
port yesterday, and the ice was passing
down stream rapidly.
Conococheague creek, which joins
the Potomac at Williamsport is also
very high. The rise will cause damage
to property along the streams and pos
sibly injure the banks of the canal.

ALL MEN familiar with tne proceeo-

commission and omission, and was
commendable for little good, but all the
intelligent ones among them,a also know
that it could hardly have been other
wise The democrats in it were in the
majority, but with the President and a
few cuckoos and mugwumps pulling
one way, and nearly all the other
democrts pulling the other, what else
than has happened could have been ex-
pected? A party that is divided against
itself can not stand. The Congress,
and il is feared the democratic party

Mrs. Or.nistOn Chant
Lecturer, Reformer, Philanthropist and
Physician


The best advertised woman in England
is Mrs. Ormiston Chant, the lady through
whose efforts the Empire Theater, Lon
don, was temporarily closed-a crusade
which was emulated, but unsuccessfully,
by Lady Henry Somerset in New York.
In the ordinary way, such an act would
have been merely nine days wonder,
and have won for its author passing no
toriety but so deeply was pubic opinion
mains in exactly the same position as at
the time when arguments for and against
the position she took were heard in
every public place in the country.
Mrs. Chants personality is well known
to certain sections of the American pub
lie for she has paid three visits to this
country, and was one of the representa-
tive women who went to the Worlds
Fair to take part in the special exercises
the delegates to the Woman's Parliament
held in Washington in March, 1898.
Her appearance is exceedingly pl easant
and somewhat suggestive of Mrs. Kendall.
She is slight, delicate looking woman,
with dark, wavy hair but her charm lies
partly in her expression and in her eyes,
which sparkle one moment with mirth
and laugh as brightly as her mouth, to
blaze with Indignation the next, as she
recounts the story of some wrong one of
her numerous proteges has suffered, and
ity as she talks earnestly and forcibly of
the work which she has made so pecu-
liarly her own. She speaks in voice

increases than dimnishes its sympathetic
qualities. No one would call her beau

TWO KINDS OF WOMEN
Both Rich and Famous

Yesterday Mrs. Hetty Green, the rich
est woman in America, consented to be
interviewed for the New York World. In
the course of two long talks-I have had
with her she has given her views and
opinions upon very wide range of SUBJ
jects, and most astonishingof all, she has
declared positively and decidedly that she
has place of residence.
The common idea OF Hetty Green is that
she is secretive suspicious, cranky, al
ways in litigation, misery, female
Shylock and a persistent foe to newspa-
per men. Mrs. Green pleads not guilty
to every count in this Indictment. A
year ago she was paying 81 week for
hall bedroom in Il Brooklyn boarding
house, and / lived under the same roof
with her for three weeks before | got Il
glimpse of her. This was because she went
out at o'clock a. M. came home from
a long day work at the Chemical Bank
after dark and ate all her meals in the
basement kitchen with the servants.
Now she lives with her daughter at the
Hotel st. George in Brooklyn, and when
l sent up the Sunday World card she re-
ceived me at once.

lions, and I'm always willing tohelp a

Then Mrs. Green explained that what
she termed the ''pernicious activity" of
the tax collectors impelled her to try and
conceal her residence year ago. She
moved awav from the Perrepont street
boarding house al that time, the very
next day after the Sunday World had given
to the public the first real account OF the
daily life OF the richest woman in Amer
lea
"Then I went to Hampstead and de
clared a residence there and they taxed
me on 50 GO worth of property" said
