Girl railroad Man.

Nineteen and girl. yet station agent,
mail carrier, express agent, baggage master
and freight agent for the Central Vermont
railroad-that is Miss Bessie Elizabeth
Hanley Of East Granville. in the Green
mountain range. And she has held all
these jobs since she was II years old.
Admirihg friends claim that Miss Hanley
is the only young woman in New England
holding such a position, or such a multi
plicity OF positions that are so distinetively
IN the sphere OF the male species. AL
though just emerged from childhood when
appointed. she has done the work Of her
once for two years without black mark
against her record. Failure to be on hand

of the year that are delightful, and still
less during the eight months when the place
is about the deadest spot in all the wide
area of New England.
East Granville is near the uppermost por-
ton of the pass in the Green mountain
range through which the Central Vermont
railway makes it's way from one side OF
the state OF Vermont to the other. A lum-
bering community, extending for eight
miles back into the mountains to the west,
finds q point Of connection by the road
with the world and its market places. The
amount of business transacted probably
makes no appreciable difference in the
dividends which the stockholders OF the
system receive, but It is OF considerable
moment in the operation of traffic through
the great ravine and to the safety and con-
venience OF thousands of passengers on
through trains between Boston and Mont
real, as we'll as to the hundreds of tons
of freight which daily pass the point. For
on the care and watchfulness Of the girl
in charge of the companys depot, under
the sheer cliff of the mountain side, de-
pend their safety
No difficulty is experienced by Miss Han
ley in handling everything that comes East
Granville way. She finds the railroad men
all anxious to assist her. Although not
many trunks are taken on at the little
depot of which she has charge, when one
does show up It has as much in 1t as the
railroad will carry without excess rates,
and the station agents heart sank when
she saw the FIRST few old-fashioned Sara
tOgas intended for transportation.

in the millions, received notable
EFfSSFNl addition recently by the death of
gJ William Henry Smith, nicknamed
'Silent Smith," who remained a bachelor
until nearly so and welded less than a year
ago. Mrs. Smiths fortune will not fall far
short of SI0,O00,0O0 1t is an amount almost
as large as that which Russell Sage left to
his widow. Mrs. Smith is not so we'll
known throughout the union as Mrs. Sage.
Her widowhood is too recent, as it is only
few weeks ago that her husband died in
Japan; but the glamour Of her fortune is
beginning to surround her. She is now one
of the four richest women in the country
The six who, by drawing checks, could
make up quarter OF billion are Mrs.
Sage, Mrs. Smith, Hetty Green, Mrs. Anne
Weightman Walker, Mrs. Marshall Field
and Mrs. Marshall Field, jr. Each Of the
first four women has a fortune several times
as great as that OF either Mrs Field In
fact It is possible Mrs Sage, Mrs. Smith,
Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Green could make
such showing without the aid Of the two
latter widows. Hetty Green's fortune is
estimated at from s6O,0OOOOO to So 200, OOO
Leaving her out of the count, the list is
headed by Mrs. Sage and Mrs. Smith jointly
for though the widow of Wall streets great
est money lender received SS5OOO.OOO under
his viii, she has given away N5OOO,OO0 Next
comes Mrs. Walker, with s60,OOOOOO. Mrs
Field the elder, has t15.OO0OOO; young Mrs
Fields fortune Is onset, in a sense. by the
fact that her son, when OF age, will divide
$o,00o0OO. Mrs Green and Mrs. Walker are
the business women OF the six. and each in
herted fortune from her father. In Mrs.
Walkers case, however, the fortune came
from William Weightman practically as 1t
stands today, whereas Mrs. Green received
, only Sl2,OOO,0OO from her fathers estate, and
at least quintupled that amount through
her own ability. Mrs Sage and the elder
Mrs. Field are the only widows Of the six
whose fortunes were amassed by their hus-
hands.

variety and often amazing extravaganza
The dainty matinees Of lace and chiffon
and silk. elaborate as some OF them are,
are not the most expensive models on the
list, giving place In that regard to the
hand embroidered lingerie models trimmed
in real lace. Some OF these are lovely and
elaborate beyond description and often
lingerie petticoats are provided en- suite.
These, however. win not serve the purpose
Of the tea gown and are for more strictly
negligee wear. despite their costly elegance.
Outside the province OF the very ex-
pensive negligee there are attractive things
for the buying robes OF challis, Of India
silk, Of embroidered muslin. Of albatross
cloth, etc. But unfortunately the manu-
facturers are inclined to load these
cheaper models with cheap trimming and
It Is rather a difficult matter to find a
simple negligee robe or jacket whose lines
are good enough to give It smartness.
We found the other day some most at
tractIve little matinees and long negligees
OF dimity with the daintiest and tiniest OF
flower designs on a white ground and only
little good German valenciennes and a
few knots Of ribbon for trimming, and
these simple little models are so good in
line that they made a stronger appeal than

Cerise linen is to be one OF the fashion
able materials, either trimmed with braid
or self-embroidered.
Net over cloth forms one OF the novel
ties OF the spring. The cloth, OF course,
must be very fne and smooth faced.
Very fine black lace with tiny silver or
gold thread enhancing the pattern and
hemming the border, Is another delightful
fancy, and in ivory is almost smarter
still
A novelty is a long sash Of pompadour
ribbon, finished with wide silk fringe;
gold flowers are other fashionable garni-

Washington. Oct "A deter
mined war on mining stock compan-
les of fraudulent character will be in
augurated next year by Postmast-e
General Meyer, If congress can be in
duced to provide sufficient funds to
carry on the crusade. The present
force of inspectors, it is said, is Who'll
ly unable to cope with the situation,
and the credulous are being fieeced
out of thousands of dollars daily by
unscrupulous schemers. Often
times many months of patient work
are required to collect sufficient evil
dence to bring about conviction,
and in the meantime the promoters
have amassed a fortune sufficient to
enable them to leave the country and
live in luxury abroad. According to
inspectors, there were never before
so many fraudulent stock companies
being financed as now, and all but an
infinitesimal number are clarly frau
dulent. Many former green goods
and confidence men have now entered
the ranks of the mining stock pro-
moters, as being a less hazardous and
more profitable calling.

NJ. T. Jaquith of Clifton was in
the city this morning, having re-
turned last week from an extended
trip to California. Oregon, Washing
ton and other states in the north
and west. He has not decided to
change his place of permanent res'-
dence by any means. as he says they
raise only one kind of fruit in a place
out that way, while we in the Grand
valley raise them all. Mr.. Jaquith
settled at Clifton about twelve years
ago when land was to be had pretty
nearly for the asking. He recently
sold a portion of his home orchard
rt $500 an acre, and since
,ht some of it back at nearly
S1Ovv N acre. He thinks we have
the best country on earth, and also
says that we have one of the best
fruit growers associations in the
Grand Junction organization. He
tried in many places to find such a
body, but many fruit districts had
none at all and in others they were
for the sale of real estate. Mr. ia
quith is one of the boostingest boost
ers we have struck for many days.

chIne which blew up Ex-Governor
sreunenberg, died this morning. The
ners Of his death was conveyed to

II is believed that man garbed
in woman's clothes placed the bomb
where il blew Brown to death. A
woman was seen to pass several
inns in the last few days before
Browns residence, and from the sus-
nlcious actions of the person it is
thought that il was n man garbed as
stated above and that thfs garb was
taten because il would create less
suspicion in the minds of anyone who
might be watching.
Brown, before he died, said that
he knew that he would be killed by
the Western Federation of Miners
for his testimony in the case of Hay
wood. He furthermore stated that
he had been shadowed ever since the
trial. Brown made the arrest of
Steve Adams and was the principal

that all good citizens should be Will
