she was one of the very few women in
New York who ventured to drive herself
through crowded thoroughfares. This she
did in high, one-horse trap with an old
fashioned top and holding the ribbons in
one hand Many harsh things were said
of her. but wherever she went, never
theless, she held her court. Old and
young crowded about her and were glad
of a word or nod of recognition. Mrs.

Mrs John Bigelow. another woman of
indomitable will and fearlessness. had
something of a career in Europe as well
as in America. She preferred the politi-

were as the alphabet of her daily life.

Some Of the pale tan and cream be-

an harmonious compromise between the
parting and the arriving fashion.

founded upon. and of the two tones green

What pleases feminine fancy greatly

defined craze for black and white A Lit

at times she was very vulgar, that she
sprawled herself over two or three chairs
instead of sitting decorously in line. But
all found she had good heart and was
OF the strong stuff of which personages
are made.
The Princess of Whales.
Quite as individual and perhaps little
more unique than either Mrs. Stevens or
Mrs. Bigelow is Mrs. Hetty Green, who
through her medicines in financial
affairs has made her name Of worldwide
interest. She was born rich, as were he-
parents before her, the family having
been for years identified with
the large whaling trade which
centered about Bedford, Mas
sachusetts. AS a young girl, therefore,
Hetty was pertinently called the "Prin-
cess of Whales" and was even then re-
garded as one of the couhtry's greatest
heiresses. At Saratoga she was a belle
when the place was the center of fash
ion, and was most assiduously sought in
marriage by men long prominent in the
social life of the country. Since those
days, however, she has almost altogether
secluded herself from society, and has
spent her life in rolling over and over
again the large fortune under her con-
troll.
Mrs. Green has unhappily no especial
fondness for women. Her attire is as
much like a mans as it could well be
unless she donned trousers, and one of
her most frequent remarks is that she
likes to talk business" She is consider
ate also and regards time as money, for
on entering an office to transact affairs

Hyperion 'Tsaenter.


 KELLAR AT THE HYPERION. Setting the earth on fire" is an ex- pression often heard in ridicule, but this can never be applied to Magician Kell- ar, who comes to the Hyperion theater to- day for the reason that he has al ready accomplished that feat. literally. En route from Valparaiso to Monte vdeo via the Strait of Magellan in February, 1875, the steamer upon which he was passenger stopped for coal at Punta Arenas, the extreme southern point of Uatagonia, where a Chilean penal settlement is maintained, MT kellar was the guest of the com mandant for the day, and, as consider able trouble had been caused by unrly natives, he was asked to do something to frighten them and to cause them to obey the commands of the authorities. Accordingly, after dinner he called several score of them about the station and amused them with simple tricks in magic. Just as he was about to con clude he announced in voice of anger that if further acts of lawlessness oc- cured he would burn up the earth. As he spoke he touched the sand at his feet with his wand. and a living sheet of flames sprang up, which so fright ened the natives that they fled in ter TOT. The acts complained of by the com mandant were never repeated. The trick was simply done A quantity of white sugar and chlorate of potash had been secreted in the sand by an assist ant during the forenoon. The wand was hollow and contained sulphuric acid. The combination of the latter with the two former caused the flame, but, to the ignorant natives, of course, it appeared supernatural.
