SENORA ROSE ABREU.
She Is Reported to Be the Richest
Woman in Cuba.
In Addition to Owning Millions and
Vast Estates She Has Gra-
cIOus Personality and True
Democratic Habits.

Havana has it's Sonora Abreu just as
England has its Baroness Burdett-,
Coutts, and just as the United States
has it's Hetty Green.
She is the richest woman in Cuba,
a handsome, intelligent, rather aristo-
cratic widow, worth two millions of
dollars, and with no incumbrances.i
She is consideVed catch.
To northern eyes, two millions of.
dollars does not seem important. But
that sum of money in Cuba is looked.
upon as immense wealth, and so it is.
considering the impoverished condition
of the island, and the years of oppres7
sion when there was no incentive to.
amass wealth.
Rosa Abreu is Cuban born. Her
husband was n Cuban, and all her in
terests and sympathies are entirely
non-Spanish. Aside from the Countess.
Fernandino, she is the most talked of
woman in Havana, principally for her
social charm, her great generosity in
charitable matters, her taste in dress
and her hospitality.
She lives in the Cerro, fashionable
suburb OF Havana, or more precisely
at Palatino, on the edge of the Cerro.
Or Sunday afternoon and evening she
holds salon, which has actually be-
come famous in the West Indies.
Everybody goes. 1t is the meeting
place of the representatives of the best
Cuban and American society in Ha-
vana. Officers of the army and navy.
in uniform line up in battalions around
the walls of her dining rooms. The
literary, artistic and dramatic world
of the Cuban capital come to meet this
clever woman, with q clear, bright
quick mind like northern woman.
All society pays homage to her and
she accepts it all with simple, demo-
cratic grace and dignity.
AT the Abreu dancing parties one
meets the prettiest Cuban girls of the

Picture of the swiftest Bird
in Flight.

In the study of the problem of me-
chanical fight, an investigation of the
methods of birds on the wing is looked
upon as of great value, but because of
the difficulties in the way but little can
be learned. Photography is regarded
as the only means by which the subject
can be reached, and the Aeronautical
society some time ago offered liberal
money prizes for good pictures of birds
in fight. This has brought out many
pictures, but for satisfactory observa-

primary rooms in our public schools
for the past sixteen years, the
schools were dismissed in the after
noon that the teachers and pupils
might attend the obsequies. Oae
of the Touching scenes at the church

which had SO long bsen taught by
Mrs. Mcdonald A. the sight of
the csaket their eyes filed with tears
and they were deeply moved by the
solema occasion and the loss OF their
dear teacher and best friend.
The aoral offerings were handsome
indeed. One IN particular was that
presented by the teachers, an anchor
OF delicate flowers.
Thsre were few nobler women
than aIre. Mcdonald and her gsod
works will live on and on. Deceased
was born in Ohio and moved to
