of a Boston Scribe.
Mrs. Mehitabel Rowland Green,
known as Hetty Green,
the richest woman in the world,
the other day refused the request
of Boston reporter for the loan
of 500, 1000.
''W a'-wha' what's that, young
man; wha'-wha' -wha'- what's
that you say?" exclaimed Mrs.
Green, turning sharply upon the
questioner.
Mrs. Green didn't wait for
repetition. She almost shrieked:
"Get out of my way! Away
with you! I'll call the policeH'
The reporter who had begun the
interview quickly sought to ex-
plain to Mrs. Green that no harm
was meant by the question.
"'m, you rascal, you rogue you;
you're one of them newspaper
men, amt you! and you want to
get me talking, don't you? re-
marked Mrs. Green in quieter
tones, as she stepped carefully up
on the Parker House curb of Ire
mont street and turned again upon
the reporter.

your scheme" she continued.
but you just say this, that Mrs.
Green refused to be interviewed.
"That's the way the men tell the
newspapers, amt it?
''Now, don't you dare come near
me again"
With that Mrs. Hetty Green
entered the Parker House, slam
med the door after her, and in
few moments was taken up by the
elevator boy to the sixth floor
where she retired to her room.

young lady acquaintance in the

appears she likes to converse. The
young lady is Miss Rose Hayes

was we'll known that the dead man was
a sufferer from nervous attacks which
for the time rendered him nearly entirely
insane.
Disappearing from his home about two
weeks ago in rather a peculiar way. the
family have been very uneasy as to his
whereabouts, and the county has been
searched over and over for any trace of
him Not until yesterday was the slight
est clue found and then the ghastly sight
was discovered in an open field The the
ory that murder was done is diScredlted
by the fact that the man was most pow

might have been wandering and he had
fallen in a faint and died from lack of
attention.
The coroners jury will to-day investi
gate closely the case. and if possible as
certain If there is any ground for the be-
lief that there was murder committed.
Mr.. Sadler was about forty years old
and single. For many years he had been
subject to spells of insanity. Before leav
ing home two weeks ago he went to his
room and put on two pair of pants For
what reason will never be known. In his
pockets was found 81 in small change.

a fresh coat Of paint. and has been
touched up here and there until it is

interior of the theatre has been changed
very little. 1t has been made somewhat
larger by encroaching on the property
adjoining the theatre, which has been ac-
CURED by Manager Wells and the seat
ing capacity has thus been increased a
little.
The most important alteration to the

the audience. The stage has been ex-

handled much better than they ever We're
