HETTY GREEN AT HOME.
Two Little Flats Shelter Americas
Richest Woman and Her
Husband.

"Betty Green, The Richest Woman
in America" writes Leigh Mitchell
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 al 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 little larger than
table and three chairs i.e the fur
nishings. and the ornamentation is
quite simple.
Mrs. Green is a 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 a light breakfast
in the little dining-room of the Ilo-
boken fat, and hurries off to the ferry.
1t is only a short distance from her
home TO the slip. and she always
walks, be the weather what it may.

valid. The upper one of the two fats
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 aft
fairs. When she comes home in the
evening-it is always late-she some
I times reads to him.

MRS. MCKINLEY
IMPROVED.

San Francisco, May 17.-President
Mckinley describes the marked i'm
provcment in Mrs. McKinlcy's condi.
ton to-day as a transformation. But,
perhaps, even the President of the
United States may oyer.state the case
in his elatiol at the prospect of his
vile S recovery. Certain it is, how
ever, that Mrs. McKinley's condition
last night improved to an extent that
fairly nonpulscd the doctors, bright
cned the anxious and devoted husband
and filed the city with joy and thanks
giving.
The sinking spell that was feared
in the early hours before the dawn
did not come. There was a slight
tendency in that direction, but that
was all.
The physicians were so favorably
impressed with their patients con-
dition at the early morning consulta-
ton that they issued bulletin an
nouncing that Mrs. Mckinley had
passed a good night and informed the
public that there would not be an
other consultation until evening.
This reassuring news, posted at all
the news paper offices, was received
with delight by the people. 1t was
communicated to all the members of
the cabinet, and Immediately after
breakfast they hurried out to the
Scott residence to express personally
to their chief their pleasure in the
glad tidings. The JOY in the Presi-
dents heart was reflected in his face
and a look at his countenance to-day
was enough to dispel immediate ap.
prehension. He looked Haggard and
carcworn yesterday; to-day his face
fairly beamed. The feeling of cheer
fulness continued throughout the
day.
Although the other physicians left
early in the morning, DR.. Rixey did
not leave the residence, and Drs.
Hrschfelder and Gibbons we're always
where they could be reached at mo.
ment S notice. kilograms continue
to pour in from all parts Of the ceun.
try, asking for news from the sick
room, and the President received many
messages to-day congratulating him
upon the reports Of the mprovement
in Mrs. McKinley's condition.

Democratic Primaries.

Democratic PRIMARIES to nominate city
officers to be voted for ON Saturday,
June will be held today. There has

pu:gn with the exception Of the com
tests FOR mayor and city solicitor. For
the former office there is IL three cornercd
fight between DIR. J. Harvey Sprnance,
Harvey j. Whiteman and David w.
Hughes. The latter is supposed to be
the strongest candidate and has left no
stone nnt,lrned to get the nomination.
He has no chance of winning the cleo
ton but wished to get the nomination
to show the Democratic Machine and
another element Of the party known AS
thu ''silk stocking crowd that they do
not control the party.
From the start Mr.. Hughes went into
the fight to win, although at the time
his name was first mentioned it was
thought that his candidacy was joke.
Mr.. Hughes soon gave the leaders to
understand that he was in dead earnest.
Yesterday Il rumor was started from
some source to the effect that he had
drawn out of the fight. Mr.. Hughes
denies this saying that he is in the
fight until the polls close this evening.
1t is said that the people who are OPP
posed to him have been offering all sorts
Of jobs to workers for their support

in the Street and Sewer Department
are being held up until after the nomi-
nation.
