Then the Later Fell Ill and Miss
Aimy Attended Him Until His
COnyalescence.

New York. Sept 25.-For having nursed
him through a long period of illness, a
young New York woman has fallen lieiress
to a rich Cuban planters fortune OF 81 :
100000.
Miss Elizabeth Almy, of 52G West For
ty-third street, is the woInan. She is about
twenty years Old, and is a striking example
OF the Spanish type of beauty, being tall
and slender, with long black hair and
large, Clark eyes. during eight years Miss
AlrDy has spent much time in Cuba, where
size has relatives. at Costa del Ruy, Matan-
zas. She generally spent the summers in
Cuba. ana returned to New York for the
winter.
HER FRIENDS MISFORTUNE.
A year ago, while she was at Costa del
Ruy detachment OF Spanish soldiers passed
through the district ON u tour OF pillaie
and destruction. Amung the plantations de
stroyed were those OF her cousins and that
OF one of their neiGhbors, Jose Martinez-
Martinez was IL " Ido wer, and lived ucar the
Almys, with his daughter and two sons.
Before the war Miss Martinez and Miss
Alny were on such friendly terms that
the old planter used to call Miss Almy u
daughter. when the war came Sencr
Martinez was supposed to sympathize
WITH the Spanish. while his sons joined
the insurgents, Eight months ago Miss
Amy again visited the plantation, and
found the grim evidences OF war on every
hand. Miss MARTINEZ was very i'll, and the
sons were absent with the Cuban army.
She nursed Scnor Martinez's daughter IN
til the girl died. Shortly after George, the
elder son, was killed in battle. A month
later a detachment Of insurgents brought to
the plantation the body of the younger son,
who. they said, ha d been shot as a traitor
while confined in Morello Castle.
HIS FAITHFUL NURSE.
The shock proved too great for the plant
er, and he fell i'll. Miss Aimy became the
nurse for the old man, and remained by
his bedside for a month and a half. until
he was convalescent, when she returned
to New York.
Last Monday Miss AImy received a let
ter from n firm OF Havana lawyers, who
said that Mr. Martinez had died Septem-
Der 10. and that he had bequeathed to her
his eutire property. which consists of n
great amount of real estate. and large per-
sonaI property. The letter concluded
by saying that the value Of the property
is 81 100000. due allowance being made
for the damage which has resulted TO it on
account OF the war. Miss Almy has given
the legal papers, which the Havana law
yers sent. TO her attorney, who lives III the
Catskills She is arranging TO 20 to Cuba

TWO PLACES TO BE FILLED.
Vacancies in tue Smithsonian Institu-
tion Under Consideration.

tiOn Under Consideration.
Two important positions are to be filled
in the Smithsonian Institution within the
next few months. These are the place Of
assistant secretary. vacated by the death
of Dr. Brown Goode. and that OF chief
clerk, which was held by the late Maj.
W. C. Winlock.
There has been good deal of quiet
gossip as TO these appointments. but nooody
cares to say much publicly pending the re-
turn of Secretary Langly. He is now in
Massachusetts. aud is expected here early
in October He will probably exercise a
controlling influence in both cases.
Under the organization OF tue institu-
ton up TO last June the appointment of
chief clerk was entirely in the hands oi
Dir. Langley.
BY the order of President Cleveland tie
position is under the civil service rules
and must be filled by promotion or by ap-
pointment under "a special examination by
the commission. No notice has yet been
sent out. ard it is regarded as probable
that the position viii! be filled by raising
someone already in the ranks of the in-
stitution's employ. This will probably
occasion several other transfers OF pro
motions.
A place will finally be left vacant which
will be filled by means Of a civil service
examination and the usual certification of
the highest three names on the list.
The place Of assistant secretary, 1T is
understood, does not come under the civil
service rules Whether it does or not.
however. has not even been settled yet
at the Civil Service Commission. The ap-
psintment, whether with or without civil
service examination, is made by the board
Of regents upon the Recommendation of
the secretary.
