More Millions For Morgan.

More Millions For Morgan.
Through a prearranged contract a
syndicate formed by j. Z. Morgan is
to take over the issue of $40OOO.0OO of
New York city AZ per cent bonds, the
purchase to be made at par. The city
government is coming in for criticism
for making so large an issue at this
time and for letting the bonds go at
par. They are almost certain to be
profitable investment. The bid made
by the syndicate was for all or none,
and 1t was made a condition that no
more bonds should be offered until the
syndicate disposed of those issued, also
that In any subsequent issues the in
terest rate should be per cent.

A remarkable scene was witnessed by a number of people at the platform of the Plant Juice Remedies yesterdfy morn- ing when a woman, evidently laboring under intense emotions, asked fo. Colonel Dillingham;.
 The colonel was not present atthe time, but at her earnest solicitation was sent for, and when he arrived the woman ere ated somewhat of a scene by grasping his hand and profusely thanking him. as she termed 1t, for saving Ter child life.
 It seems that the womans name Is Chivers, and that she is a willow woman with one little girl, and bout three weeks ago appealed to Colonel Dfiiingham for help for her sick child, wiom she said was affected with stomach troubles ana in a precarious condition.
 At that time she said that he had httle or m rnonev hut that she lad managed to save a dollar for bottleot the Plan. Juce which she wanted td try Colonei Dillingham; saw that the por woman was in strengthened circumstances and gave her three bottles of the medicine and told her to go and use IL aip coiae pdeh tor more If necessary.
 The colonel had forgottn the incident until yesterday, when the woman came back and claimed that thd little girl was well and hearty. God bles you, colonel, she said, and if ever fou are visited with the same trouble tfat I have been, I pray God that a deliveer may be sent you like you were sent D me-
 The colonel calmed the Voman down and sent her away evidently rejoicing, as hs was seen to put his hard into his pocket

 General Sherman paid glowing tribute to the Western and Atlantic road when he wrote.

they fell from his dead hands, and showed that she was master.
 After retiring from active management of the great concern. she quietly disap- peared from public view. She divides her time between New York and Philadel- phia. Perhaps Mrs. Walkers hobby may be said to be the raising of orchids Every year at the horticultural show in Philadelphia she carries off prizes with her orchids. She maintains a splendid conservatory.
 Mrs. Hetty Green rides in an automobile which cost $12,000-her one extravaganza Yet, because the board of assessors at- tempted to raise the assessment on her property at Bellows Falls, Vt, from s10, 200 to s12000, she prepared to desert the home of her youth.
 They'll impoverish me-" Mrs Green Is said to have remarked tu q neighbor
 Why don't you give the house away to be used as a Carnegie free library?" was asked.
 To this the aged millonairess replied vehemently that she had no use for Car negie libraries, and did not propose to give libraries with string attached.
 Mrs. Green fig said to possess fortune exceeding $6O, O,000,000. She devotes most of her time to accommodating money, bring ing lawsuits against people who. she says. try "to do her." and practicing the gospel of thrift.
 Recently she was sued for $100O0 by an attorney of Boston. He had conducted a lawsuit for Mrs. Green in which she brought action regarding the income of an estate involving s200,O00. The lawyer claimed s10.000 fee. Mrs. Green said she considered $500 sufficient.
 Some people think that because I'm a woman, I can be imposed upon" she de- clared; "but after I am through with them they generally find out differently"
 Mrs. Green Is said to have recovered s damages from a servant because she lost canary bird In Wall street her repu- tation for "closeness' Is proverbial. and her fame as business woman. a money maker, extends from sea to sea. Among her maxins, one Is: Pay your debts and also see that people pay you" One of the most remarkable of Amcr!- cas rich women is Mrs. Helen M. King. the "cattle queen' of Texas. She owns more than 100000 acres of land, and her fortune is estimated at 50. .0oo0o In her time Mrs. King. who Is past 70. has battled with desperadoes, fought against Indians, and has ridden the plains bareback, e typical woman of the west.

It has oeen said that it Is fifty miles from the doorway of Mrs. Kings house ot her front gate.
 But the richest woman of Texas is never lonely. She possesses magnificent library, and in the evening her chief pleas ure is reading or playing the plano. In her employ Mrs. King has 1000 men. With in two years she has given away 100,J00 acres of land.
 Perhaps the unique personality among the wealthy women of the United States Is Isabel Lewis, q 13-year-old negro girl She is the richest girl in Oklahoma. and lives in little log sabin in an obscure part of the state.
 Years ago 1G0 acres of land were allotted to the father of the girl, former slave of the Creek nation, a tribe of Indians. Then some one discovered oil on the land and the young negress, to whom the land was accredited found herself the pos sessor of Income of from S200 to $650 day and owning land exceeding In value s, 0OO 600.

WEALTHY WOMEN.
Some of Them Display Remarkable
 Ability In Business Matters.

From the Philadelphia North American.
 Perhaps the distinction of being the richest woman of America rests among Mrs. Green. Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Sage Mrs Sage has announced that she fn- tends to devote her entire fortune, ex- ceeding s6O.0OO,OO0, for the benefit of hu- manity Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Green have given little, so far as known by the world.
 ' Mrs Sage, as every one knows, in- herted her money from her husband, the celebrated financier Russell Sage. Short ly after his death she announced that the entire fortune should be devoted to educational and humanitarian purposes. Mrs. Sage is greatly interested In re- ligious work and the public schools. Among her recent gifts were s1,0o0,0O0 to the Emma Willard seminary of Troy, N. r., and s225000 to the national commit tee of the Young Mems Christian asso- ciation.
 She has laid aside BIO, 900 as a Sage foundation for the promotion of living conditions in the country. In Mrs. Sage s words: "The means to that end will in- clude research, publication, education, the establishment and maintenance of charit- able and beneficial activities, agencies, and institutions, ana the diu Dl any sucu activities. agencies and institutions all ready established"
 Mrs. Anne Weghtman Walker, both be- fore and after the death of her father, the rich Philadelphia manufacturing chemist, William Weightman, showed ad- mirable qualities as business woman. Every morning she was at her desk in the office of the big drug manufacturing plant: she attended strictly to business, and 1t Is said that the merger with Ros- engarten & Sons. the firms chief com- petitors, was effected by her. After the merger Mrs. Walker retired from busi- ness, and since then has been leading a quiet life.
 When William Weightman died 1t was learned that he had left his entire for tune, without reservation, to his daughter, Mrs. Walker She had long been his principal business assistant had led a quiet life, going out little, and was in constant attendance upon her father She took up the reins of management when

 The woman left the platform praising the colonel and kept repeating, "God bless Colonel Dillingham;"
 Several good cures were reported dur Ing yesterday, some of which were of a striking nature A rheumatic who claimed his arm had been restored to good use after months of uselessness was among the number, while persons subject to ma laria claimed that severe attacks of fever had been warded off by the use or the Plant Juice Remedies.
 Last night the crowds opposite the Ma jestic theatre were greater than ever, ana hundreds of bottles of the medicine were handed out by the colonel's assistants.
 Another Cure.
 Henry Willis, coal digger of Johns gave an excellent testimonial, which is as follows:
 Johns, Ala. To Whom It May Concern:
 I want to state that for the past three years I have been suffering from what the doctors said was chronic indigestion. I have been unable to entoy anything that I eat and also been compelled to be careful what I ate. I would have dizzy spells and spots would come before my eyes. After eating I would have bloat- ing sensation which would make be feel uncomfortable for more than an hour. have taken three bottles of the Plant Juice and am now entirely free from my trouble. I can eat anything I want 10, have no trouble and for the first time In months am able to rest well at nights. (Signed HENRY WILLIS.

kuroki in Chicaoo.

From the Houston Post
 General Baron Kuroki. the greatest hero of the Japanese army, whose vic- tories has been one of the causes of the pomposity of the Japs has had more honors bestowed upon him." said Henry Wilson, a travelling man from Chicago, who was registered at the Brazos. 'rhe general baron was general prolific on tips ana his record as Upper leads Chicago. and then some.
 The little Jap general had a great time N--ne he was in Chicago, and when he left he showed his appreciation of the way he was taken care of at the hotel by bestowing tips in most lavish man. ner. The fact is the bell boys, porters and other menials of the hotel have been. talking of nothing else but the good thing the Nipponese proved to be.
 Among the servants of the hotel where he stopped, the general baron distributed more than $4O0. Here is how he did it: "Head porter who was responsible
 for forty-one pieces of baggage. .s2O. co. Two common. everyday porters, at
 Slo each.... .... .... .... .... ...... 30.0 Two chambermaids. at $1O each. .. 2000 Forty-seyen bell boys, at S5 each. 295 % Twenty walters. at 8 each.......... 10000 rour elevator boys, at $5 each...... 20.00
 Total .... .... .... .... .... .... ... .$425. %
 ''The plentiful manner in which Kurolki distributed these tips Is all the more re- markable when it is considered the rather small fees which are paid to servants in the hotels in Japan There copper coin given here and there Is about the limit and would be most graciously received
 The general baron set a new pace. which may have the effect of further de- moralizing the system of tipping in ho- tels which is already in a state of chaos, I might rail against tips in general, but whats the use Besides. it's not so bad here as 1t is in the cities of the north al
