A NEW HETTY GREEN.
Employs Two Thousand Persons and
Makes 100000 Yearly.

New York, March 10.-A new star in
New York's galaxy of finance is Mrs.
persons, does a business of $6,000,000 a
year and her income is close to 81, 000,
600 year.
New York discovered the new star
through a lawsuit involving 1000 pop
lar trees on some land of the Hermann
Sawmill company, in Kentucky. Mrs.
Hermann brought twelve mountain
GERS from Kentucky as witnesses. Their
testimony won the case for her, and
their picturesque appearance attracted
attention to an otherwise dry and I'M
interesting lawsuit, and thus led to the
discovery of Mrs. Hermann.
Mrs. Hermann, who inherited her
business interests from her husband, is
president of the Hermann Lumber
company, the H. Hermann Sawmill
company, the H. Herman Plumbers
and Cabinet Supply company, the New
York Desk and Dining Room Supply
company, the H. Hermann company,
Ltd, London; the Hermann Furniture
company end the Herman Glass com
pany. She owns lumber mills and
lands in six states.
FEMININE AND LIKES SOCIETY.
Next to Mrs. Hetty Green, Mrs.
Hermann is the richest business wo-
man in New York. Like Mrs. Greene,
Mrs. Hermann runs her own bust
ness. But there the resemblance
ceases. Mrs. Hermann confesses that
she is feminine. She hikes faces anu
silks and satins and fine linens, all OF
which Mrs. Gree finds herself too poor
to use.
Mrs Hermann is handsome. She is
tall, of beautiful figure and aristocratic
carriage. She is fond of society and
does not subordinate everything to
business. She lives in beautiful
home at 230 East Fifteenth street, in
Stuyvesant square. She has a son, who
some day will succeed in the great
business founded by his father, but
perfected by his mother. He is % years
old
Mrs Hermann has conducted the
business, involving the maintenance of
six offices in New York alone, since the
death of her husband, in 1896. She is
said to know everything there is to be
known about the cutting and sale of
lumber and the making of furniture.
She was a witness in the suit which
brought her into the limelight, and
talked of cutting trees and gave evil
dence of the exact number handled in
each locality with confidence and APP
parent knowledge of the subject. All
the shafts and innuendo of opposing
counsel couldn't shake her in the
slightest. The twelve mountaineers ap-
plauded and corroborated her story.

SERGT. EDMONDSTON WON
THE HUSSARS MEDAL
Annual Sabre Drill of Georgia Hussars, at Tybee,
Was Exciting Contest

With some forty men in ranks the
Georgia Hussars held its annual prize
saber drill at Tybee last night as the
final event in the programme that
marked it's annual picnic.
The contest was most exciting and in
the history of these events there has
seldom been a drill that was more
keenly contested. The winners of the
four prizes can well be congratulated
on the showing they made. Sergt
Charles Edmondston got the company
medal.
The drill was not held until after the
arrival of the late afternoon train, this
arrangement being made in order that
as many as possible might witness the
contest, but in spite of the great inter
est in the troop, and the drill, the many
other attractions of the evening pre-
vented more than a fair sized crowd
from being present.
First Lieutenant w. H. Connerat, Jr.,
was in charge of the troop owing to
the absence of Capt. w. w. Gordon, Jr.,
who is in Macon. The officers and the
judges, Col Beirne Gordon and Judge
Henry McAlpin, decided that the men
should be divided into two classes, first
and second, and each of these into two
squads, this latter part of the arrange
ment being necessary in order that the
closer watch might be kept on the men.
Lieut.. Connerat and Second Lieuten-

ant Edward H. Demere alternated in
giving commands. In the first squad Of
the first class Hammond Eve was the
last man left standing, while in the sec
ond squad of this class the contest was
so close between First Sergeant Charles
P. Rowland and Sergt. Charles Ed
mondston that after the men had been
drilled till the officers were weary they
both stood and it became necessary to
take a rest and then start the drill
again. In the second contest Sergt.
Edmondston won.
In the first squad of the second class
Trooper Gordon Law was the last man
left standing, while in the second squad
of this class that honor was won by
Trooper Albert Stoddard. These four
men were then drilled against each
other until but one was left standing.
That man was Sergt. Edmondston, who
was, in consequence, awarded the COM
pany medal for being the best drilled
man in the troop The second prize in
the first-class, a pair of cuff buttons,
went to Trooper Eve. In the second
class the first prize, a silver match
case, was won by Trooper Law, and
the second, watch fob by Trooper
Stoddard. After the drill there was
dancing until the last train for the city.
The prizes were presented by Capt.
Henry MoAlpin and afterward, Gen.
w. w. Gordon and Mr.. j. B. Duck
worth complimented the troop on the
excellent drill and the showing that
it made.

tomorrow morning. 1t is said that the
report, in supporting the union move
ment, will favor the possible admission
of negroes to the general assembly and
unless otherwise stipulated, their ad-
mission to the presbyreries and synods
OF the church. 1t is stated that this

Southern states
The report of the Committee on
Fraternity and Union advocates the
union of the Cumberland Presbyterian
and the Presbyterian Church of the
United States of America on the doc
trinal basis of the confession of faith
of the Presbyterian Church of the
United States, as revised in 1908 The
report states it is mutually recognized
that doctrinal agreement now exists
between the churches and suggests
how the details of the union may be
adjusted.
The closing recommendation pro
vides that the Presbyterian Church
will make such change of government
as will allow separate presbyteries for
a particular race or nationality.
The Cumberland committee thinks
that the revision of 1903 re-
moved predestination from the
Presbyterian creed. Negro Cum
berland Presbyterians now have
a separate church. 1t will re-
quire a two-thirds vote of the assem-
bly, to send these recommendations to
the presbyteries. Then, they must be
adopted by a majority of the presby-
teries before becoming effective.

SIMPSONS RIDDLE SOLVED
BY DR.. MCCONNELL
Happy Story Telling Faculty of Speaker Enjoyed
by His Audience

luck was per cent. common sense
and the remainder sweat
Among the illustrations used to ON
phasize TINS point was one about a
goat which was sent TO the express OIL
flee with shipping directions around
its neck. When making out the way
bill it was found that the animal had
eaten its tag. resembling, according
to the speaker those who forget their
early ambitions.
Action Means Success.
The second element of success was
declared to be action. "Laziness and
cowardice are the paralyzers of aspi-
rations." he said. Even in Savannah
the speaker thought that perhaps some
of the preachers were inclined 10 over
look evils near at hand and to dis
course loudly of the sweet by and
by"
In the third place the speaker at
tributed the success of Sampson in the
lion encounter to the fact that he was
a believer-an optimist rather than
pessimist The evil effects of the pes
smist in the home was forcefully IL
lustrated by word and action. 1T
sours a mans life and pours cold water
down the back Of other folks was the
estimate placed by Mr.. Mcconnell upon
such perversity.
Lots of people think the Lord dead
because they are sick" he added.
Sampson was an optimist, and he be-
lieved and fought the lion to finish.
The theory was hazarded that If the
lion had known of the optimistic ma
ture of Samson the animal would
probably have taken another direction
on the evening which resulted SO fatal
ly for the king Of beasts"
What Love VIII Do.
The fourth proposition of the speaker
was that Sampson was in love, and
therefore would let nothing stand in
his way Nothing is so 'optomiZing'
to a fellow as for him to fall in love"
declared DR.. Mcconnell, but some
thing. or somebody worth loving must
be the object"
The young people present were urged
to press forward bravely fun of hope,
so that they would be enabled to get
the honey out of life, after overcoming
and Staying the lions.
Earlier in the evening the speaker
asked that God would deliver him
from entertaining just for the enter
taining's sake so at the close of the
address he made a more direct appeal
to his hearers to live lives which
would be an honor to themselves and
a pleasure to those with whom they
were associated.
After the lecture, many crowded
around the speaker to express their
appreciation of his words and to meet
him again.
