The division in the ranks of the

to have proper legislation enacted, and

make concessions and report back to
their own organizations in favor OF
amalgemation.

The last two national conventions of
the United Post Office Clerks was at

high distinction. not only as a, debater
but also as a champion of unity among
the clerks He realized that nothing
could be accomplished while there was
division in the ranks, and at the con-
ference today no one will plead more
earnestly than he for reunion.

Mark N. Skerrett has gone to New
York to attend the meeting of the arbi
tration committee that is to endeavor
to bring about an understanding that
will result in the United and National
Post Office Clerks Associations of the
United States coming together and
forming one grand organization of the
Uncle Sans clerks.
The arbitration committee is made
up of three members from each associ-
alton, and there is hardly doubt bat
that ell differences win be patched up
and steps taken for a reunion of the
forces.
For years the post Office clerks have
been divided and this has materially
lessened their chances of securing leg
islation that will be Of advantage to
them. The clerks Wish to have con-

Then this richest woman in America
stepped into the tiny back parlor and
carefully lowered the gas in the house
where she lives. Mrs. Green is known
as Mrs. Dewey. She admits. however,
that she is a resident of Bellows Falls,
Vt, where she has a pretty summer
place.
When she returned to the front parlor
she spoke of the time more than 30 years
ago when, as Miss Robinson, she was one
of the bellies of New York society. When
the Prince Of Wales was here she danced
with him. Later, she lived in England
and was presented at court. When Van

reau and of a big trust company was
secured. 1t was necessary to consum-
mate some transfer or deal on the for
geres to obtain the forged document 1t
self Secrecy was the only hope of gain
ing proof of guilt, as the law does not
touch the holders, but only the makers
of forged deeds.
Attorney Bisbee was to delay filing
bill in chancery to quiet the titles to the
property until the thieves were caught
But the minute Mrs Green, who was at
Far Rockaway, heard of the arrange
ment she hurried to Chicago and hired
another lawyer to file the necessary bill
She had a stormy interview with Mr.
Bisbee, in which she declared that she
had not the slightest interest IN bringing
the forgers to justice, and that he should
have known better than to take any
chances.
You look after my interests, Bisbee,"
she said sharply, "and keep the titles to
my property clear. That's what l pay
you for. Let the police catch their own
thieves
The son, Edward II. r. Green, has de-
veloped into good business man, and
while not what might be called extrava-
gantly liberal, is not especially noted for
closeness. He has an ARTIFICIAL leg His
knee was injured while coasting when he
was Z years old and it was never prop
erIy attended to- Years afterward, when
IT was too late, Mrs. Green secured treat
ment for the lad from a prominent sur
geon Of Philadelphia, but he could not
save the limb, and after young Green
had attained his majority the amputation
was performed. The operation took place
in a boarding house at No 25 West
Eighteenth street. The Greens have not
stopped at that house for some years
now.
Once, when Ned was a tall, lanky
youth, he lived with his mother some
where in the neighborhood of Fourth
avenue and Thirteenth street. He spent
most of his leisure time around the Fire
Department house on Thirteenth street,
and Captain Breslin and some of his men
remember him very well. AT that time
his mother allowed him 80 cents a day
for his meals, and he used to eat in
cheap restaurant on Fourth avenue, just
below Union Square. Up to the time he
toned to take the newspaper which his
mother had purchased early in the morn
ing and sell It on the street corner
after she had finished studying the fnan-
Cial page.
The general public learned with aston
ishment that Hetty Green had a husband
and a daughter. Mr.. Green has dropped
so completely out of sight during the
last decade that even the financial world
and the brokers who used to know him
in Wall street had forgotten him. He is
a very tall man, very quiet and polite
and a confirmed "club bachelor"
He was a member of the Union Club
for years. He sleeps in a room on West
Nineteenth street and eats and reads and
looks out Of the window at the Union
Club. One of his days is very much like
another. He sees his wife occasionally.

close manner of living.

close manner Of living.
Old Wall street men tell innumerable
stories about the woman's closeness and
about her wonderful success on the
street. She was in Philadelphia one day
when the market suddenly changed, and
she found that unless she reached New
York before the close of the Stock Ex-
change she would miss a chance to make
several thousand dollars. No train would
bring her here in time, and she opened
negotiations for special engine. A price
was named for an engine and one car,
and after naggling some few minutes,
Mrs. Green made this final proposition:
Take off the car and make it S. less.
I'll ride in the locomotive cab" She had
a dusty but a speedy ride to this city,
and she reached Wall street in time to
make a successful turn.
At another time she had a large amount
of Reading securities which she had
ordered uer brokers to transfer 10 Phila-
delphia for her. When she learned that
they would have to pay the express com
pany a rate in proportion to the value of
the securities she was Mortified.
What pay $G0 for taking that bundle
to Philadelphia. l can go there and back
myself for 81 and save $96.' She gath
cred up the securities in her black bag
and carried them over to Philadelphia
herself.
Once when John ]. Cisco was her bank
er she came into the establishment with
several hundred thousand dollars worth
Of securities in the black bag. She said
she had walked all the way down town
and was tired. The banker expostulated
with her for her recklessness in taking
such a risk of attack and robbery on the
street.
why didn't you come down IN a car
riage?" he demanded.
d. "You may be able to ride in cabs, Cis-
co.. said the richest woman in America,
sharply, 'but I can't afford it."
Mrs Green used to keep all her plate
and diamonds, as we'll as her securities,
in the strong boxes of the Cfscos, and
once a month she would go down, there
and polish up the articles and cut her
own coupons. She keeps up the practice
to-day at the Chemical Bank.
One day a report f1oated around Wall
street that Cisco was in trouble. The re-
port was not verified, but 1t reached Mrs.
Green's ears, and she went at once to
the bank and demanded every cent of
her account She had 900 on deposit
there. Cisco protested that the with
drawal of such large single amount In
one day would ruin him, but this made
no difference to Mrs. Green. She de-
manded her money and got 1T. 1t re-
quired two cabs to carry away all her
strong boxes. The bank failed the next
day.
A few years ago It was discovered in
Chicago that forged deeds to property
owned by Mrs. Hetty Green TO the
amount Of 81 900 900 were in circulation.
When the attempt of the schemers to
raise money on the forged deeds brought
the plot to light Mrs. Green's attorney,
Mr.. Bisbee, set TO work to protect her
interests and bag the crooks. A trap was
set for the forgers, and the assistance or
the Chief of Police and his Detective Bu-
