WHY HETTY CARRIES A GUN.
The Richest Woman Says She Needs
1t to Use on Lawyers.

The Richest Woman Says She Needs
1t to Use on Lawyers.
In New York City recently much talk
was caused by the application of Hetty
Green, the richest woman in the United
States, perhaps in the world, to carry
pistol. According to the New York
Sun she says she can hit things with
a pistol, and that she will, the next
time the lawyers get after her. Incl
dentally she made public the fact that
she has knowledge of a deep desire on
the part of several lawyers, some of
them eminent in public life. to end her
life violently.
OF one of them, better known for his
keen use of the shafts of repartee than
for his use of the sandbag, she has
said to friends recently: IF 1 were to
meet that man in the dark alone he'd
kill me in minute"
Mrs. Green made these statements
with regard to her purpose in carrying
a revolver after the permit had been
issued to her. When she went to get
the permit she let an employee of the
Chemical Bank, who accompanied her,
do most of the talking. Capt. Steve
O'Brien, to whom she made the initial
application, was impressed and in
dorsed on the papers which he for
warded to Police Headquarters the
statemen that he thought Mrs. Green
the proper sort of person to issue per-
init to.
When her uterances about her in
tended use for the revolver were re-
To ci0
ton, who granted the license, he said
that the department could not under
take to take cognizance of newspaper
interviews. If any of the lawyers
who were limited at in Mrs. Green's
statement felt like complaining that
they felt their lives in danger it would
then become a matter for the depart
meat to look into.
Mr.. Thurston said that he was we'll
acquainted with e. H. R. Green, Mrs.
Green's son and that he had known
for some time that it was Mrs. Green's
custom to carry about with her cash
and securities. sometimes amounting
to 5000, 900. Under these circumstances
Mrs. Green's request to be allowed to
carry a revolver seemed to him a very
proper one.
The application for the revolver was
made last Saturday evening at the
Leonard street station in the territory
of which is the Chemical National
Bank where Mrs. Green has her office.
Capt O'Brien furnished the blank re-
quired for such applications and then
informed Mrs. Green that if the permit
was issued she would be required to
pay a fee of $3.50. Apparently Mrs.
Green saw some unintended signifi-
canoe in this hint, for she hastily
opened her pocket book and took out
some money. saving:
81 am perfectly ready to meet any
expense. The $3.50 is nothing" Which,
if this be a true report of what the
lady says is one of the most unique ut
terances of her career.
Capt. O'Brien hastily explained that
it wasn't necessary to pay in advance.

Michigan Central Files a new Tarin
Schedule Between New York

merce commission a new freight tariff
schedule between New York and Chicago,
making an Increase OF 5 cents in the ex-
port rate on provisions and Of s cents for
dressed meats both for domestic and export.

which comprises everything east of the
Mississippi river and north OF the Ohio ex-
cept north OF Illinois, will, under the agree
ment which is understood to have been
reached by the roads, file similar tariffs and

facts in connection with her death BY
shooting on Wednesday last.
MI. Gowdy has written to Elsasser TO

The funeral Of Mrs Gore took place at

an open hearse, which was followed by
three carriages. NJ. Pacque, representing
Mr.. Gowdy, occupied the first carriage. The

OF the deceased was present and there were
no mourners.
Five beautiful floral offerings. one Of them
being from Mr.. Gowdy, we're placed around
the casket. The service was conducted by
Rev. DR.. Tburber. There was no music and
the pastor avoided direct mention Of the
tragedy, the only reference to 1t being that
the deceased was alone in a strange land.
The casket was borne TO Bagnoux cemetery,

at the graveside.
