HETTY GREEN. AT HOME.
Two Little Flats Shelter Anne Fica's
Richest Woman and Her
Husband.

Hodges, in Ladies' Home Journal,
''lives modestly in two small fats in a
brick block in Hoboken. n. J. There
are two electric push bells at the door,
under which one finds the name C.
Dewey Mrs. Green prefers that the
public should not know where her
home is situated, and she uses this
name because her pet dogs name is
Dewey, and she commonly calls it
Cutie The parlor is in the lower
suite, and is a little larger than a
good-sized closet. \ couch, a small
table and three chairs are the fur
nishings, and the ornamentation is
quite simple.
"Mrs. Green is rapid talker. Words
seem to come to her as easily as dol
lars. She is witty, too, and these
gifts, with her remarkable memory
and pleasant voice, make her an ex-
cellent conversationalist. Her daily
routine is more severe than that of
any other living millionaire, perhaps.
She rises early, eats light breakfast
in the little dining-room of the Ho-
boken fiat, and hurries off to the ferry.
1t is only short distance from her
home to the slip, and she always
| walks, be the weather what it may.
Her husband, E. H. Green, who is sell
dom seen or heard of, is an old man,
almost 80, and somewhat of an in
valid. The upper one of the two flats
is called his, and there, in a plainly
furnished sitting-room, he sits day in
and day out while his wife is in. New
York looking after her financial at
fairs. When she comes home in the
evening--it is always late-she some
times reads to him."

"There's one place above all others

ocean liner and toward the man who
is obliged to occupy the same state

berth, he's done you a mortal injury.
If he's seasick you have contempt for

times and always shared stateroom,

REAL FICTS rs TO PHILIPPINES.
Society Formed to Investigate-Prof.
Bourne Secured.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 13-A num-
Der of citizens of this city who have
undertaken to inform themselves as to
the actual facts of the situation in the
Philippines have associated them
selves under the name of the Philippine
Information society. 1t is their pur-
pose to collect and distribute authori-
tative information, such as is to be
found not in partisan ltera ture, but
for example, in the correspondence and
reports of military, naval and diplo-
matte officials-information of which
the American people in general are not
cognizant because of the volumnous
nature of the reports in which such cor
respondence is to be found.
Much of the work will be done
through the instrumentality of a com
mittee of inquiry set in motion by GER
tain members of the faculty of Harvard
university and including members of
universities in other parts of the coun-
try. The services of e. G. Bourne, Phi.
D., professor of history in Yale univer-
sity, have been secured to conduct this
inquiry for the committee. The society
proposes to publish from time to time,
in circular form, material based upon
the informa ton gained from this COM
mittee or derived from official docu-
ments. The chairman is DR.. j. j. Put
nam and the secretary L. K. Fuller,
both of Boston.

200 per cent, the equivalent of $100 per
share, which added to the price of 552

the company simultaneously with the

LAWSON'S CUP DEFENDER.
Designs for the Boat to be Put in
Builders Hands at Once.

Boston, Dec. 13.-It is understood
that Crowninshield's designs for the
Lawson cup defender will be in the
hands of the builder, George f. Lawley,
by the last of the week, so that the
work of laying down the boat will
probably be completed before the first
of the year or about three weeks be-
hind the Herreshoff boat The lead, /,
angle iron and the plating have al
ready been ordered and if there are no
delays, there seems to be no reason
why the Boston boat will not be
launched about the same time as the
one at Bristol. In fact there is some
thing like a race already between the
two yachts. 1t looks now as if the
Lawson boat would be built at the At
lantic works in East Boston, under the
supervision of Mr.. Lawley. No dimen-
sions will be given until the boat is
fuller under way, but after that it is
understood that free access will be af-
forded any one who desires to look at
the work on the new boat.

London, Dec. 14.--The adoption by

amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote

as far too weighty matter for hurried
comment by the London morning jour
mails. According to the Times and most
OF the other papers will postpone until
to morrow their editorial treatment of
the question in it's present phase. The
Daily Chronicle, however, publishes a
short note in which it says:

Children to be Carried for Half Fare.
Boston, Dec. 13.-Judge Colt of the
United States circuit court to-day hand
ed down a decision in which he express
ed doubt as to the constitutionality of
the legislative act of 1900 which requires
street railroad companies to transport
school children at half regular rates.
The case was that of Morris Ahern VS..
the Newton and Boston Street Railroad
company, and it was brought by the
plaintiff, a stockholder, to restrain the
company from complying with the stat
ute on the ground that his rights as a
stockholder would be infringed upon.
The court says:
Upon it's face the statute seems open
to the objection of unreasonably reduc-
ing rates charged by railroad companies
and to the further objection of discrim-
mating in favor Of a particular class in
the community. An act open to either
of these objections has been held by the
supreme court of the United States to
be in violation of the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States"
The motion for a preliminary injunc-
ton was denied, but the case will come
up later for a. hearing on its merits.
