First Train Arrives at San Fran
cisco From New York,
Covering the Distance Ia AlneI-Ssvsn
Hours and Fifty-Five Minutes.
Reduces the Former Record Thdr-
teen Hours and Shows an Aver
age Speed Of Little Over Thdr-
ty-seveu Miles an Hour for the
Entire Distance Across the Con-
tineut,

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.-The first
train of the new Government fast mail
across the continent arrived in this
city tonight at $40 o'clock, having
covered the distance of 3,345 miles from
New York in 81 hours and SO minutes.
This is thirteen hours less than the
former record of 10 hours SO minutes,
and shows an average speed for the en-
tire distance Of a little over 80 miles
an hour.
By arriving here in the evening In
stead of the morning. the train was able
to make all important coast connec-
tions, and it is believed that the time
can be further shortened so that the
Eastern mail can be sent out by the
afternoon delivery in this city, giving
business men nearly a days advantage
over the previous system.
The train arriving tonight left New
York at 9:15 p. m. on Sunday, and
Travelled over the New York Central
and Hudson River, Lake Shore, Bur-
lington, Union Pacific and Central Pa
cific. Chicago was reached at S:2O p.
m. on Monday. From Chicago to Coun-
Gil Bluffs two trains were run, one over
the Burlington, leaving at 9:24 p. M,
making the distance in 10 hours 80
minutes. The second train on the
Northwestern line left Chicago at IL
p. m, having eight miles less to run
than its rival, and made the time to
Council Bluffs in hours and 81 min
utes Then the mail was carried by the
Union Pacific to Ogden, arriving there
thirty minutes late. Between Ogden
and Palisade the General Pacific lost
one hour and half, but this was made
up by the time Rockln was reached at
$3.50 p. m. to-day. From this place
there was good running, and the finish
of the trip was on schedule time.
The fastest average time, Al miles an
hour, was made over the Burlington
line The other averages were: New
York Central and Lake Shore, frac-
ton over 40 miles; Union Pacific, a
little better than 80 miles; Central Pa
cific, % miles.

CUBAN GRATITUDE TO WOOD.
THE GENERALS POPULARITY
AT SANTIAGO
Clearly Expressed by the People
When He Departed for the
United States.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. 5.--The
explanation Of the War Department at
Washington of its intentions regarding
the transfer of customs receipts from
the different ports in Cuba to Havana
is met here by statements from the Gu
bans that the plan is similar to the
one adopted by the Spaniards when
acquisitions on Havana obtained less
than per cent. of what the requisition
called for. The merchants, business
men and influential people here say Ha-
vana has grown rich and prosperous at
the expense of the rest of the island,
and the Cubans and Government Off
Gals at Santiago say the Cubans OF
Havana are responsible for Major Gem
eral Brooke's order on this subject. The
people here add that the Havana Gu
bans are still anxious to maintain the
same system of Capitalization of funds
that was in force before the Ameri-
can occupation.
DR.. Castillo and Mayor Bacardi have
proved true in this crisis, and have urg-
ed the citizens to remain peaceful while
waiting the results Of the visit of Gen
eral Wood and Dr. Castillo to WASH
ington.
General Wood, accompanied by his
ide-de-camp, Lieutenant Hanna and
DIR. Castillo, representing the merchants
and business men of this city, left here
for New York to-day on board the
United States transport Mississippi
They were accorded an enthusiastic de-
parture from the palace, and during
their passage between Marian street to
the wharf. The municipal band pro-
ceeded General Wood, who was accom-
panied by the Mayor and his staff and
large numbers of officials and Cubans,
who walked the entire distance amid
continuous applause and cheers for
General Wood.
The latter was deeply moved. There
were between 5000 and 5000 persons
in the procession, and the women wept
and wished the General bon voyage.
Cuban gratitude was never more clear
ly expressed. Men who a few weeks
ago were antagonistic to the American
commander were to-day among his
most enthusiastic supporters.
The members of the Supreme Court
and the band Of the Fifth Regular In
fantry were on board the auxiliary
gunboat Hist which saluted the Mis-
sissippi and bid her farewell in the
usual manner. The mississippi, which
was brilliantly decorated, was also sa-
luted by the Punta Gorda batteries.
Though the situation is critical, it is
doubtful whether any overt act will be
committed unless the populace is arous-
ed by further irritating orders from
Havana

Defects in oHicia1 Bond..

RIVERSIDE, Jan. 5.-Since the claim
made yesterday that Supervisor-elec
John Shaver was not legally qualified
because of failure to file his official
oath on time, it has developed that Sd
perintendent of Schools Hyatt is in the
same predicament. Hyatt filed his
oath several days too late, but in his
case the Supervisors at once corrected
the oversight by appointing him to The
place. Further investigation of the
official bonds to-day reveals the fact
that several new officers-elect failed to
properly stamp their bonds, and there
is talk of wholesale ousting

night in the arrest of United States

The mistake was not discovered until

The age-herald., 1899-02-19

Forty years ago there came out of the little village of Bellows Falls, Vt, young man who was destined to become famous in several ways.
 Like the prince in the fairy tale who died famous without ever knowing 1t, Edward H. Green has won a reputation along lines of which neither he nor the world knew anything.
 Paradoxical as this may seem, 1t is fact that Edward H. Green might make name for himself upon any one of the many things which have come to him by fate, or which he won by fortune.
 He is the husband of Hetty Green, who is the richest woman in the world.
 He is extremely good friends with wife with whom he does not live because she is so wealthy.
 He was the first man to make a fortune in the Philippine Islands He introduced into the United States certain varieties of Manila hemp rope and paper which have become very valuable in the commercial world.
 Though the husband of the richest wo- man in the world, he lives on a few hun dreds a year.
 As the husband of Hetty Green, Edward H. Green has achieved more notoriety than will come to the husband of Wilhelmina of Holland.
 By notoriety Is meant a certain amount of fame both enviable and unenviable; for at times MT. Green has found the fact of his relationship so unpleasant that he has bribed the attendants of the hotel at which he lived to keep out interviewers and turn visitors away.
 As the maker of a million in a strange land the name of Edward H. Green was so well known twenty years ago on Wall street that millionaires and bankers were proud to receive letter in one of his bus mess envelopes; and the greatest of them was willing to take off his hat to the tall, well-built, self-made man of millions. But riches fled, and as they vanished Edward H. Green lost his family with them.
 All New Englanders are wealthy. Born upon a hard soil into which they must dig deep for the slender rewards that come forth, they learn to pinch and to save. Soon they have a comfortable thousand, where the young man who is born upon more generous soil has not dollar.
 Edward H. Green was one of these En- dowed with some money, and adding to 1t by his own efforts, he sailed in his young manhood for what was then remote cor ner of the earth-the Philippines Today the Philippines are stilf at the antipodes, but they are not nearly so far away. You can go to Manila now in month. Then it

inson Green, and Sylvia. and the Green family was a happy one.
 But the fever of speculation spread over the country, and the germs attacked Ed ward Green, the father of the family.
 Twenty years ago he went into Wall street, and Wall street did for him what it has done for many another man-it sent him forth penniess. Lured on by the for tune which seemed ever within his grasp, he spent money freely, and became known for his generosity to public charities and to the street poor. Commodore Vanderbilt once called him "Spendthrift Green" and the name chung to h.m. It happened in this wise:
 A visitor said to the Commodore: Green was in to see me today"
 What Green?' asked the Commodore Do you mean Spendthrift Green? and the visitor replied that he did.
 When Edward Green lost his money the Green family might have been straitened in circumstances had it not been for the, wife Mrs. Green. who had some money left her from her father, which she had wisely in- vested, suddenly discovered that the money had been turning itself over to very good profit She also found that by assisting it in its revolutions she could add a great deal to the bulk and so she and the money together COulu keep TOlllnB the Suli iiilo vast fortune. She turned her attention to Wall street; but instead of speculating she studied up good investments, and was anxious to loan a little here and there. The agents of millonaires would quietly notify her when the'r patrons were out of money, and she would just as quietly loan them $50. GOO or so with a good rate of interest.
 She did nothing illegitimately, taxed no- body unduly. and though she drove hard bargains she kept her agreements and did all she promised to do and little more.
 Meanwhile Edward Green, overcome by the lack of his fortune, desired quiet He needed constant care and the rest of home This, his wife, with her many in- terests, found it impossible to give him, and when he suggested that he would be very comfortable at a hotel in New York where he had once lived she readily agreed, and with her own hands fitted up very nice apartments for him. His rooms were near the Union club, of which he was member and from that day to this he has lived in his own apartments and daily visited the club when he was able.
 Ten years ago Hetty Green is said to have remarked to a relative: "Mr Green is too old to live In the hurly-burly of business life. and so we have fixed him mp at the club At seventy a man cannot bear as much as he could at forty"
 So Edward Green at seventy gave the reins of his fortune into the hands Of his
