directing operations from shore head
quarters. 1t is not the present intention
TO detail any United States nen-of-war TO
assist the revenue cutters in patroting the
Bering Sea this year, as from results
attained last season, it was demonstrated
that the revenue cutters, being lighter,
drawing less water. and being more eco
nomical, could perform better and more
satisfactory service than warships.

HETTY GIVES.

tOnishes Chicago.
Offers a Chicago Site For an
Actresses Home
ON THE LAKE FRONT.
The Home Is to Cost at Least
100000.
Mrs. Green Afraid More People
viii Beg of Her.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Nrs. Hetty Green,
the richest woman in America, and in
the opinion of some persons the most
eccentric, is going to give something
away.
She says she Will donate a site on the
lake front for 100000 home for super
annuated actresses.
Associated with the famous New 7 Ork
woman in the charity are that sterling
actor, County Commissioner Daniel D.
Healy, who is to be treasurer; John
White, secretary of the Elks and now
secretary also of the proposed home;
David Henderson, Helena MOdjeska,
Sarah Bernhardt, Fanny Davenport,
Little COrinne, NJ. EdoUard FOy, Mrs.
s. H. Picking, Mrs Harriet r. How
ard, Mrs. J. r. Floyd, 225 Dearborn
avenue, and a number of other people
of Chicago and elsewhere.
Articles of Incorporation for the new
society which is to build it's home have
already been filed at Springfield and
the building, it is expected, will be COM
pleted before the middle of next win
ter.
A meeting of those interested is to be
held within a few days and a board Of
directors elected. Mr.. Healy and Mr..
White have already consented to act
as treasurer and secretary of the assO-
citation.
GROWS GENEROUS IN CHICAGO.
The fresh Chicago breezes which blow
over to 1914 Langley avenue, where
Mrs. Hetty Green is staying, have done
what all the salt winds of New York
city could not accomplish. They have
blown open her purse and are about to
scatter it on Chicago soil. Even her
most intimate friends, who alone have
been let into the secret thus far, are
aStOnished at the size of her gift and
the strange direction it has taken.
For Hetty Green is no patron of the
theater. Plush parquet seats at an
even 81 per sit she has always regarded
as too expensive to be thought of, and
nobody ever heard of Hetty Green even
so much as investing 10 cents to see an
balcony.
The name of the new home is to be
the international Home of America for
Aged and Infirm Actresses. Ever since
the work was projected an effort has
been made to keep it a secret, and
Hetty Green was the most anxious of
all. Thus far all her charities have
been hidden under a. bushel, and it was
intended that the gift of land for the
nome should be kept out of sight the
same way. When it finally leaked out
yesterday she felt grieved about it.
'GOOd gracious she said last night,
when asked about her gift, every char
liable institution in America would be
after me if they knew I was going to
give away something. Why, even now
they come after me nearly every day,
and if this were published I would have
no peace at all
Everybody is trying to swindle me,
and so many terrible things have hap
pened to me that [ should be really
frightened if something good was to
occur. What 1 shall do L shall do in
my own way, and when the proper
time comes"

An American of Large Experience
Says It Works Well.

Sedalia, Mo, Aug. ga S. Higgins,
a former Sedalian, but who for the
past ten years has been raiIroadfng in
Mexico, is visiting friends here. He is
a conductor, has worked on nearly all
the leading railroads il Mexico, and re-
flutes some of the stories told about
wages in that country
In my ten years experience in Mex
leo, he said, my salary was from $3.50
to $500 a month. An American brake
man in that country gets about $50 a
month, while a Mexican brakeman on
the same train win only get about $35
a month, and be glad to get it.
Speaking of the Mexican dOllar,''
Mr.. Higgins continued, there is a
great deal of misinformation on that
subject in this country. The Mexican
dollar in Mexico will buy nearly as
much as a dollar will buy in the
United States, except, of course. arti-
cles imported from the United States
For instance, I can buy suit of
tailor-made clothes for $40, about what
I would have to pay in SedaIia, I
doubt not. An American made hat
would cost SO or SO, but one equally as
good, only made in Mexico, would cost
81 or IS, all, of course, in Mexican
money.
The working people in Mexico, not
counting the peOn classes, are better
off, as general thing, than their
American brothers, and there is plenty
of work Of all kinds going on. Mexico
is improving. Railroads and factories
are being built, and there is steady
work for those who want it,
