Hetty Green's the Limit.

Hetty Green, the worlds richest
woman, is homeless wandered. She
dare not take up her abode anywhere
for fear of the tax collector Hunted
by the man with the tax list, she left
her home in the metropolis and took
up her residence in Hoboken, N. j.
There her quiet and frugal mode Of
living was interrupted by the local tax
office bloodhounds, who again got on
her track, and she fed to the rural
peace of Bellows Falls, VT. In that
place all went happily until the tax
officers recently raised the valuation
on her place from $4,000 to $4,000.
This Mrs. Green viewed with horror,
and again it is announced that she has
given up her home and fed. This is
another instance of the fact that the
life of the frugal New York million
aire is not all beer and skittles. Nc
matter to what rural wilderness he
withdraws himself the Shylocks of the
tax Office find him. And they seem tc
insist upon treating him like any or
linary mortal subject of taxation and
the law.

Convention Talk.

Greenville, Tenn, Jan. 1.-THE
aftermath OF the mass convention
Saturday reflects a condition in
Hickman county alarming to con-
servative Democrats who have the
interest of the party more at heart
than the cause of any candidate.
The opposition to the action of
that meeting is not confined to the
Patterson men, many men hitherto
favorabl to the Governor Joining
in the protest against the hasty
action taken. The opposition de-
clares that the convention was ille-
gal, for these reasons: The call
issued just four days before the
meeting was not signed by the
Chairman; nine districts only were
represented, three of these by prox-
les, and two of the proxies from
the Fourth District were not given
by the committeeman from that
district but by committeeman
from the Fifth District. It is furth-
er alleged that one of the acting
committeeman from the First, or
Centreville, District, was never
elected, nor was he vested with the
authority of committeeman. The
opposition to the ''suap" action
aver that the convention was packed
by men brought here on free passes,
severa! of them from Dickson
county.
These matters were presented to
the convention, but it appears that
the men IN control ignored them,
and proceeded along the lines previ-
ously agreed upon by the promo
tiers. In tact, the opposition con-
tend that their rights were not re-
spected in the convention, and that
they were run over rough. shod.
They fought fos postponement
of the convention until time could
be given the people to express
IT is a notable fact
that hundreds Of Democrats in the
did not learn of the conven-
ton until it had been held. Some
of the committeeman received no
notice of the call, hence did not
participate in the meeting which
called the mass convention.

HOTEL GOSSIP.
Nashville Banner.)


Gov. X. L. Taylor returned to
Nashville last night from St LOUIS,
having closed the lecture tour which
has occupied his entire time during
the past several weeks in the North
west. The Governor spent to-day
at his home on West End Avenue
resting and recuperating from his
recent strenuous trip. The Gov
eruor is suffering from severe cold
bordering on grip, and will proba-
bly, remain in Nashville until the
date for his next speech, which will
be delivered at Clarksvlle, January
%.
Gov. Taylor was asked this MORN
ing by Banner reporter ii he had
any statement to make in reply to
the assertions recently made by
Senator Carmack IN the latter's
speech at Chattanooga and other
east Tennessee points, to which
the former Governor replied that
he proposes to conduct his campaign
hereafter in his own way and that
he will not engage in any personal
wrangles through the press. He
said he had nothing to say concern
ing the Senator's charges. He said
that the questions between them
must be discussed from the stump,
which statement leads to the con-
clusion that the Governor will, as
previously predicted, reply to the
Senator when he speaks at Clarks-
Vile on the date named.
Senator Carmack will return to
Nashville tonight and leave for
Washington City tomorrow night
to resume his congressional duties.
The Senator will probably remain
in Washington until about Februa.

any additional speaking appoint
ments until that time.
