HETTY GREEN HAS VIEWS.
Americas Richest Woman Talks OF the
New Woman and Trusts.

Americas Richest Woman Talks OF the
New Woman and Trusts.
After life Of nearly sixty years de-
voted to protecting her millions and
adding to them, Mrs. Hetty Green, the
richest woman in America, has con-
cluded from rare experience in observ-
ing social and political conditions,
that there are two great problems in
life to be solved. One, she thinks Is
the curbing of the new woman, the
other the curbing Of trusts.
MY idea Of the new woman" de-
clared Mrs. Green, shaking her finger
by way of emphasis, "is the one who
stays at home and makes home happy.
Good food is the basis of happiness;
therefore, the wife. to make home
happy, should stop going to pink teas
and look after her cooking.
Il don't care how many girls a wo-
man has in her kitchen, she ought to
be there herself occasionally to look
after things. She should lay down her
diamonds and knead dough once in a
while. Her husbands digestion will
be better for it-that is, if she learned
how to cook as she should have done
before marrying, and he will stay al
home nights. instead of going to the
club.
There is no economy in buying
cheap food. If you haven't much
money, don't get big assortment, but
what you get let it be good. Hash
has caused more divorces than un-
faithfulness."
"You are opposed to bicycles for wo-
men, of courseP"
"Of course I'm not opposed to blcy-
cles for women" was the reply. My
daughter rides a wheel-that is, in the
country. There are too many people
in the city for there to be any enjoy
ment in it. l don't ride" added Mrs.
Green, and she chuckled at the
thought Of it. but [ might have rid
den if bicycles had been in date TWEEN
ty-tive years ago.

Tho Oueen,a Coronation Ring.

The Queens coronation ring formed
the subject of an extremely interest
ing paper, read by Dr. Wickham Legg,
f. S. A., at the general meeting of the
Royal Archaeological Institute, held at
20 Hanover square. The ring never
leaves her Majestys possession, and is
worn by her every evening; but by
gracious permission several photo
graphs were made of 1t, and set of
these has been given by Mr. Legg to
the institute. 1t consists of a band of
gold, varying from two to five millime-
tres In breath, with n large rounded
sapphire thirteen millimetres across,
and set "a jour" Over it is n cross of
fine rubies, and it is surrounded by
fine white brilliants. Tracing the his
tory Of coronation rings, the speaker
mentioned that they were held to SYM
bolize the wedding of the Sovereign
with the nation. At the Queens coro-
nation it was regarded as an auspl-
cious omen, indicative of the close
bond which should exist-which tn 8
generation has seen fulfilled-that the
ring should have fitted the royal fin
ger very tightly.

Miss Opp was educated in the public
schools and soon after her school days
began the study Of acting. AS a child
she played in benefit at the Academy
of Music and like many other children
she had designs on the stage. She en-
joycd the friendship Of James Collier,
the actor who told her asa child that
she was well qualified for success on
the stage.
AS she grew older she had some
temporary hesitations concerning the
stage as a career. For a short time
she wrote for the magazines, and had
considerable success. She did this, not
from any need of money, for Johnny
OPP was well-to-do, and nothing in
life gave him greater pleasure than to
supply funds to his clever daughter.
Two years ago Miss Opp went to
London, where she had an opportunity
to meet many people, fashionable or
otherwise distinguished. She was
still occupied with her magazine writ
ing. Among others, she met the late
George du Maurier, and Mrs. Beer
bohm Tree, both of whom agreed that
she was well fitted for the stage, and
would make an admirable Trilby.
After that she returned to New York
and tried to ascertain what opportu-
mites the stage offered her here.
Charles F'rohman promised her an en-
gagemcnt in the fall, but before that
season arrived she paid a second visit
to London.
Miss opp is at present playing the
part of Hymen in "As You Like It," at
the st. James. 1t is a small part, only
consisting of about twenty-five lines
spoken toward the end of the play; but
her mere presence in such a company
is a great success, for Alexander is
making his reputation by the general
excellence of his players. Among her
colleagues are Julia Nelson, young
Henry Irving and Dorothea Baird.
There is now no doubt that Miss OPP
will have Il more important part in the
next production.
The AleXanders belong to the small
but growing class of English actors

they could give but she has rapidly

Gifts Who Has Adopted the Stage as a
Professionalism Complete Success in

One Of the latest Bowery girls to win
fame is Miss Julie OPP, who, like the
successful Blanche Walsh, is the
daughter of a minor politician.
Julie Opp is only Bowery girl, bus
how different from that person In
comic song her picture alone will show.
She is beautiful, dignifed, well edu-
Gated and well bred.
She is very tall has dark brown hair,
dark eyes and Il superb figure. Her
face has an expression OF kindly dig
nifty and indicates both intelligence and
force of character.
Her beauty is so thoroughly appra-
ciated in England that her photographs,
some of them very artistic, are exhi-
bited in all the best shops and vie in
popularity with those of public celebri-
ties and of duchesses, marchionesseg
and countesSes, who are accounted
beautiful.
The father of this proud beauty was
Johnny Opp, who kept saloon at No.

his cOm-patriots in that vicinity.

NO MORE OLD MAIDS.
LAZARUS MORGENTHAU'S SCHEME
TO PROMOTE MARRIAGE.

He Pounds an Association to Give Or
phaped German Girls n Dowery-Ccr-
tain Days Set Apart for rWeddings-Four
Couples are Ready.
Here is a brand-new plan to make
brides:
To save German orphan girls be-
coming old maids and from the springs
and traps set for them by vice here,
Lazarus Morgenthau, a philanthropist,
has founded an organization which he
calls the Greater New York German
Orphan Dowry Society,""
Many n bright, good, honest girl

self alone and unprotected and unable
to secure employment, is irretrievably
lost in the maelstrom of pleasure
which whirls forever near the brink
of poverty. To shield them and pro-
vide sufficient dowry to enable them
to marry suitable men, Mr.. Morgen-
thau has evolved the plan of his So
ciety, after devoting thirty-eight years
of observation and study to the sub
iect.
| He conceived the idea for the first
time on seeing Ernest Possart, the di-
| rector Of the Royal Court Theatre in
Munich, play Lessings Nathan the
| Wise"
Out Of gratitude to this great expon-
ent of the dramatic art, for the char
liable suggestion furnished by his rem
dition of Nathan, Mr.. Morgenthau has
made Possart's birthday one of the So
cety's festival days, on which mar
| riages of the orphans under its care
solemnize their marriage. There will
be other festival days the anniver
saries of the birthdays Of George
Washington, of the late Mrs. Oswald
Ottendorfer and Of the late Jesse Sc
ligman.
On each of these days four couples
will be led to the altar.
The patronage of the society will be
extended to all German orphan girls
irrespective of religious creed. The
four who are to enter wedlock on the
initial festival will be recruited respec-
lively from the Roman Catholic, the
Protestant and the Hebrew persua-
sions and the fourth will be the daugh-
ter of Free Mason of no particular
religious creed whatever.
The Board of Directors will consist
of 200 members, one-half Christians,
the other half Hebrews.
At present Mr.. Morgenthau esti-
mates that the society will be able to
give dowry of only 500 to each girl
at her marriage. But he believes that
it will not be long before the society's
financial condition will warrant the
bestowal of much larger sum and
also the marrying off of a far greater
number of orphan girls than the pre-
sent number of sixteen year.
Mr.. Morgenthau is eighty-one years
old, but still hearty and robust and as
enthusiastic as a youth. He says he has
assurances of support from any Of
the wealthiest and most influential citi-
zens Of New York.-New York Jour

''There is no great secret in this bus

an army will march from twenty to
thirty miles day for one or two days,
and small detachment, specially pre-
pared. will sometimes do even even
better than that for a single day. But
there is not one man in n thousand
who can start off in his normal condi-
tion, without training or preparation,
and walk fifty miles in twenty-four
hours. So, when man has a tramp
OF a hundred or more miles before him
to be covered within the limits of Il
day, careful training is u necessary
prerequisite.
This training consists not merely in
getting the system in perfect condition
through proper diet, exercise, sleep and
mental control, but, more than all. the
feet (Which alone bear the body on the
long journey must be carefully looked
after Ten miles of continuous walk
ing will pretty effectually use up the
average feet accustomed only to the or
dinary tasks of everyday life, and
when ones feet are well blistered
walking becomes uncomfortable torture.
1t Is therefore absolutely necessary, as
q preliminary, that the feet be tough
ened. Use them until blistered, and
then let the water out with a needle
and pickle them. This removes the
fever. Thus callousness will be in
duced on the tender parts formerly
disposed to blister. By persistence
the feet will become thoroughly cal
loused before the great effort is under
taken, and no serious trouble need to
be Rpprehended from that source.
In my training. as well as when
walking, l rigidly eschew all alcoholic
stimulants and tobacco as well. The
effect Of stimulants may be advanta-
geous temporarily, but that is of short
duration, giving place to greater weak
ness and lassitude as soon as the al
cohol has done its temporary work.
To rely on such artificial stlmulants
calls for the use Of increased quanti-
ties at shorter intervals, until the
brain becomes muddled and one is rem
dered incapable Of giving that calm at
tention to his work that is essential
TO success. A clear head, next to prop
erly prepared feet, is most important
requisite in any attempt at great ply
steal eXertion.
As to food, for four weeks before a
trial confine myself to diet of rare
beefsteak, eggs and mutton chops,
with plain vegetables and rice pud-
ding. Tea, coffee, milk and water are
my only beverages. Thus l seek to
thoroughly noursh the body, avoiding
whatever may tend to excite the ner-
vous system, impair the digestive Or

ject sought is to produce the least pos
sible fatty growth, to harden and

JOE" REILLY SUSPENDED
HE MADE THE PENSION AGENCY A
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE ANNEX.
George w. Shaffer Is Dropped for
Drunkenness-Repr OVER
streets Trip to Washington.

Joseph L. Reilly, chief clerk, and George
w. Shaffer were suspended from the clerical
force of the pension agency yesterday morn
ing. Reilly for offensive partisanship and
Shaffer for drunkenness.
The suspension of Reilly was made upon
4 message from Pension Commissioner
Evans. The charges of partisanship were
filed against Reilly some months ago, and
last Tuesday Representative Overstreet
went to Washington to press them. The
order of suspension was the result of his
efforts. The department has set Oct for
a hearing of the case. Pension Agent
Leighty yesterday declined to say anything
concerning Reillys successor, though it is
understood that he has his mind made up as
to who will be appointed. He must be taken
from the eligible list.
The charges of partisanship against Reilly
rest upon his use of the clerical force of the
agency in doing vast amount of clerical
work for the Democratic state committee
in the campaign of 1894. Reilly served as
chief clerk of the agency under Zollinger
from 1885 to 1885, and while serving as such
was also secretary of the Democratic state
committee. The agency was practically an
annex of the committee while the campaign
was in progress, all the circular work and
that sort of thing being done by the agency
clerks
When Taggart was made chairman of the
Democratic state committee in January of
1894 he reappointed Reilly secretary of the
committee, and month or so later he was
made chief clerk of the agency again
month or two later, as soon as all the Re
publican clerks that could be ousted had
been disposed of, the pension agencies of the
rules, but Reilly continued to be the secre-
tary of the Democratic state committee
until the reorganization of January, 1896
While the campaign or 1894 was on he de-
voted not only his own time to it, but he
used the clerical force of the agency just
as freely in doing the committees work
as he had during his former term The
clerks did this work of addressing en-
velopes and folding circulars for the COM
mittee sometimes in the office of the agency
and at times worked after hours in the COM
mittee rooms above until midnight.
The places of Reilly and Smarter may not
be filled for several days. Mr.. Leighty
stated yesterday that their successors must
be chosen from the list of those who had
passed creditable examination, and he
could not announce his selections until they
had been approved by the commissioner of
pensions.
Mr.. Reilly declared that he had been tout
of politics. ever since 1892. When asked
who was secretary of the state committee
in 1894 he replied that he did not know, but
guessed there was none. He said he had
no copy of the charges and had rot been
notified where the hearing would be held
but that he would be prepared to meet the
