sNUBBED HETTY GREEN.
Mayor PatricI. A. Collins, of Boston
Would Not See Her,

BOSTON, Jan. 12.-Mayor Patrick A.
Collins refused yesterday to see Mrs
Hetty Green. the richest woman in the
United States. She did not come as a
seeker after office or as an endorser of
somebody's claims for position Her visit
was purely for business purposes. She
wanter to talk with ;ite mayor about a
trust company in thi city. in which she
believed the mayor WITS interested.
Mrs. Green sent in word that she want
ed to see the mayor ION private busi-
ness" and the mayor through Seehetary
Curran, told Mrs. Green that he would
not see her. as his time at the City Hall
was devoted to the public service.
Mrs. Green waited patiently in the
outer office for a little while, many peo-
pie meanwhile going in and out of the in
ner office. She was dressed very plainly
and did not seem at all pleased with her
receJtion.

Mr.. Croker,s Retirement.

With characteristic intrepidity and
in the imperial fashion of one who is
in the habit of being obeyed, Richard
Croker has cast his mantle upon
Lewis Nixon. The idol of Tammany
has appointed his successor.
Contrary to expectations in some
quarters, Mr.. Croker's retirement is
not forced abdication, else he could
not have dictated, as he has done, to
the end. Whatever elements of the
wigwam have been conspiring for his
downfall, they have failed ignomini-

An American Made CnhIe

In the matter of constructing ca
mainland of the United States to its
new possessions, conflict of claims
has arisen. 1t is conceded that a ca
BILE is necessary, facility demanded
by home interests and those develop
ing in the East.
4 new element has been injected
into the controversy by American
companies which desire the contract
for making the cable. The corpora
tions which seek to carry out the tel
egraphic enterprise, it seems, have as
sumed that the material could be had
in England at lower rate and that
no American concern was equipped
to undertake the work.
The American companies cry out
loudly against this. They assert that
the S20,o00,000 to be expended should
not be sent among foreign workmen,
and that they are supplied with every
thing necessary to make the cable
in the United States.
Judging from the sentiments ex-
pressed at the heated hearing before
the House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce, that subdi-
vision of Congress is inclined to favor
the United States companies. The
members are leaning to an idea very
popular in this country, that discrim-
ination in favor of American work
men and American manufacturing in
dustries is a type of patriotism.

CLAY THAT BURNS LIKE COAL.
Alleged Invention of n Retired Rail-
road Engineer.

road Engineer.
| OMAHA, Neb. Jan. Pc. J. Hoffman.
| a Chicago and Northwestern Railroad en-
| gineer, who retired from his vocation be-
1 cause Of i'll health has invented in his
/ little hat factory, where he ekes out a
| living fuel that he asserts is COM
( posed of clay to the extent of 30 per cent.
He says that one day while at work in
| the shop there was accidentally revealed
| TO him a peculiar action of certain chemi-
| Gals and gasolene Eagerly he followed
! up the clue with numberless experiments.
until finally he IS enabled to give to the
world fuel he declares cheaper than
| coal and better than coal
The fuel burns in a stove, crate, or fur
| mace readily; it creates no smoke, no Gin
derS, and burns to white ashes; twenty-
five pounds of the fuel producing only a
quantity of ashes that may be held in the
palm of the hand. In the combustion the
fire literally consumes its own ashes, and
a ton of fuel will go further than two
tons Of the best coal. producing five times
the amount of heat that coal creates. One
pound of the strange mixture will suffice
to keep the kitchen range hot fer one
hour.
recent test OF Holman clay coal III
the furnace OF large boiler developed
the fact that 250 pounds of it created so
per cent more steam and lasted longer in
burning than $50 pounds of first quality
steam coal.
The invention, it is predicted, is des-
tined to solve the fuel problem for the
whole world, inasmueh as the product
may be manufactured 1,000 miles from an
oil-producing locality fer about 81 a ton.
Near an oil field it can be made for one
fifth of that price approximately.
For factories and manufacturing estab-
lishments it Is proposed to have a plant
at or near the furnac" doors. Dirt will
be hauled. treated in a few moments, and
the fireman shovels his fuei under the
boilers With a draft on can be pro-
duced heat the like of which has never
been secured from coal or. with all
drafts closed, one may have a glowing
fire not unlike that of anthracite coal in
base burner. For household use 1t is
proposed to subject Jumps in molds to
pressure of 1900 pounds.
Two Chicago Omaha railroads will on
February ! begin using Hoffman's fuel
for a thorough test in the locomotives.
On this date also the immense packing
house plants of Armour. Cudahy. and
Swift at South Omaha will test the in
vention.

EccENTRIcITY OF A PRINCESS.
lives Alone in IL Palace and Cooks
Her own Food.

PARIS, Jan. 12.-The Princess Ghika, a
member of the reigning family of Rou-
mania. is startling Paris by living alone
in her palace. not permitting a human
soul to remain in the house. Her sole
protector is a Great Dane dog. She will
not have any servants, cooks her own
food, and people say she is the most
democratic sprig of royalty in the world
She is talented and plays many instru-
ments. In desiring to live alone she re-
sembles the late Countess de Castiglione,
but her motive is different. The countess
declined to see people only after her
beauty had faded. The princess keeps
away her servants because she wishes to
show that a member of a royal family
can earn her living if necessary

Three Kansas Hustlers.

Of kansas. all Republicans, and all of in
huence and standing in the Sunfower
State.
Hon. David Mulvane is the Kansas
member of the Republican national COM
nlittee, wealthy, born leader of men, a
success at everything he has attempted.
and very apt to be n United States Sera-
tor if he cares to have the office, which is
doubtful. His friends insist that the State
needs him in Washington. and that he will
be sent whether he wants to come or not.
P. T. Foley lives at Parsons. and is a
power in railroad ana political circles.
His work is never performed TO the ac-
compartment of a brass band, but he is
the trusted adviser and confidential friend
of the men in control of the destines of
Kansas.
Hon. II. c. Dooley of Coffeyville, went
to the Legislature and quickly made a
reputation for ability and oratory. and is
looked upon as one of the coming leaders
of his party. He has full share OF the
Hibernian wit that is the leading char
acteristic of that other member of the
Dooiey family. whose fame has been ex-
tended through the pen of Mr.. Dunno.
