The New Cent and Its Maker.

An interesting article appears in the
issue of Harper's Weekly, descrip-
tive of the new Lincoln cent and It's
designer, Mr.. Victor D. Bremen The
story of the poor immigrant from
Russia who has made his way in the
face of overwhelming difficulties is a
bright commentary upon the advan-
tages both to this country and to its
immigrants which our hospitality ex-
tends. Incidentally this article ex-
plains the appearance upon the penny
of the designers initials, which called
forth some unfavorahle comment.

shop plan, While Mr. Gibson has
made no direct charges against any

Worlds Richest Women.

Only One Named in the 99-Word
WiIl-Stoclxs and Bonds May
Have Been Transferred Before
Death to Save Inheritance Tax.

New York City.-E. H. Hartman,
in his will, which was filed for pro-
bate at Goshen, Orange County, n y,
left all his property, real and per-
sonal, to his wife, Mary w. Hartman.
The estate is variously estimated at
between $20,000,000 and 100000
600. Mrs. Hartman was also APP
pointed executriG, without any re-
strictions.
The document. which was made
public by Charles A. Peabody, presi-
dent of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, who is understood to have
drawn up the will and was one Of the
witnesses, contained just ninety-nine
words and was probably one of the
shortest Wills on record considering
the value of the estate involved. 1t
was dated June s, 1903, and was as
follows:
/, Edward TT. Hartman, of Arden,
in the State of New York, do make,
publish and declare this as and for
my last will and testament, that is to
say:
1 give, devise and bequeath all of
my property, real and personal OF
every kind and nature, to my wife,
Mary w. Hartman, to be hers absO-
Iutely and forever, and / do hereby
nominate and appoint the said Mary
w. Hartman to be executrix of this
will.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and seal this eighth day
of June in the year nineteen hundred
and three.
[Signed.J
EDWARD Fl. HARTMAN.
Signed, sealed, published and de-
clared by the testator as and for his
last will and testament in our pres
ence, who at his request and in his
presence, and in the presence of each
other, have each of us hereunto SUBJ
scribed our names as witnesses.
[Signed.1
CHARLES A. PEABODY,
G. G. TEGETHOFF.
C. G. Tegethoff, who, with Mr. Pea
body, witnessed the will, was Mr. Har-
riman's private secretary.
If the highest estimates of the
value of the estate are correct, the
will makes Mrs. Hartman one of the
richest women in the world, If not the
richest. The only other women who
are regarded as her possible rivals
for that honor are Mrs. Russell Sage,
whose wealth has been estimated at
$50, 100000; Mrs. Frederick G. Pen
field, whose fortune has been also es-
timated at that amount, and Mrs.
Hetty Green, who is believed to be
worth anywhere from $4,000, 900 to
$100, 100000
Since no provision is made for Mr..
Harriman's two sons and three
daughters it is believed that he pro-
vided for them before his death The
children are Mrs. Robert Livingston
Gerry, who was Miss Cornelia Harri-
man; William Averill Hartman, Miss
Mary Hartman, Miss Caroline Harri-
man and Roland Hartman.
Among some of Mr.. Harrimans
closest friends it is believed that dur
ing his last illness he gave large
blocks of railroad stocks to each of
his children and to a number of his
close business associates and en-
pIoyes.

CHIEF
IS GOING
UP!
M'ALEVY MAKES EXTRAVA-
CANT ESTIMATE OF EX-
PENSES FOR NEXT YEAR.

II taxes are levied this year son
the basis of Fire Chief McAlevy's
plans, the people will have to
pay about 10 per cent taxes ION
every dollar they own to run the
city in the next year.
McAlevy wants to jump from
the $17O,275 he had this year to-
$41S,9S0 for next year. He wants
a $4,000 automobile to ride
around town in; he wants auto
mobile hose carts, fireboats, two
new fire stations and a lot of
other Injuries that would indi-
cate that his idea of running the
fire department is simply to pro-
vide a means for spending money.
The budget of the fire chief, in
view of his extravagant claims, is
utterly worthless to the council
as a guide by which to levy taxes.
He wants another assistant, ex-
ira guards for the theaters, extra
horses, extra harness, extra sup
plies and a general list of extras
that would swamp the taxpayer If
the council were to attempt to
grant them.
The city attorney asks for $751;
900 to run his office. 1t includes
simply the salary list and $1,000
for judgments and $1,000 for SIN
dry expenses.

Three Murderers Are
Still At Large in
Pierce Co.
OFFTCERs HAVE SUCCEEDED IN ARRESTNG ALLEGED PER
PEcTRAToRs CRNIE OUT -FOUR.

Although four unusually brutal
murders have been committed in
Pierce county since the first of the
year and county peace officers
have succeeded in arresting the
alleged murderers in only one in
stance, this being the Kvalshaug
case In which Charles Newcomb
and Mrs. Kvalshaug are suspected
of having conspired to slay the
woman's husband.
The perpetrators of the other
three crimes are still at large and
there is practically no chance OF
their capture.
The Mozen Murder.
On March %, Frank Mozen, an
aged man living in cabin near
Summit. was found within 500
feet of his cabin with four bullet
holes in his body. No clue to the
murder was found but robbery Is
thoght to have been the motive.
Suspect Released.
James A. Fraee, we'll known
building contractor, was murdered
with an automatic pistol at Re-
gents park, April z. His body
riddled with bullets was found
three days later by his son and
three detectives. A suspect was
arrested some time later ait Port
land, but. nothing but circumstan-
tial evidence being produced
against him, he was released. Re-

have been the motive.
The Kvalshaug Case.
On the night of May 15. Martin
Kvalshaug, who lived at 1907 Pn-
get Sound avenue, was shot to
death while returning home from
a dance in company with his wife.
Mrs. Kvalshaug and Charles f..
Newcomb were arrested the next
day and 1t is alleged, confessed
having laid a plot to kill Kval-
shaug to get rid of him. Both are
held at the county Jail. having en-
tered pleas of not guilty. New
comb will plead insanity and his
trial will begin September 30.
The woman will be tried later.
Murderer Is Known.
On July 7, Mrs. Julia Bronze,
wife of George Bronze. was beat
EN- and choked to death at Wilke-
son by thug, thought to be Ber-
tino Camille, a, miner, who took
5000 from her and made good his
escape. Conclusive evidence was
produced to show that Camille
was the murderer and that rob-
berry was his sole motive. The
woman's body was found on the
day following the crime by her
husband. Bloodhounds followed
the trail of the murderer to the
railroad tracks near South Prairie
where It was lost.

them any more" said Mr.. Stock
ing. Before the government sat
down on the practice, however,
the postoffice was bothered by the
indecent cards considerably.
What Won't Go.
There's one with the corners
clipped off round. The sender
thought he would be artistic prob
ably, but we can't send it. 1t Is
all right otherwise but all cards
must be square and of a certain
size If there is writing on them.
There is a leather one. 1t should
be enclosed in letter. We can
not send 1T that way when 1t has
writing on 1t. The rules provide
that cards must be of cardboard
and a certain size and thickness.
Now here is one with another
card pasted on the back. 1t will
not go. Another common mis-
take is to place the card in a
transparent envelope. This re-
quires two-cent stamp"
OF this last variety there was
an armful of cards in the bunch
being sent to Washington this
morning.
Besides the grist OF postal cards
misdirected and unavailable there
is always a lot of mail matter
that is addressed so poorly that
even the experts in the postoffice
rannot decipher the addresses.
Iany write with lead pencil and
fter a letter thus directed is
I hifted around in mail bag a few
tours 1t is hard to tell what the
address, was.
They Can't Read Minds Yet.
A glimpse at the addresses on
he unavailable matter shows
hat Uncle Sam needs an eff
icient corps of mind readers for
Jerks. Thus far he has been I'M
ible to find them. however, and
when a letter like one in the
bunch this morning, simply direct
I'd to Roy Hist, California"
zones In the best they can do is

Some Mail Burned.
All misdirected newspapers and
natter of that kind, OF which
here is wagonloads in a year,

Carelessness the Main Fault.
Most of the trouble with the
mails is due to the carelessness OF
the sender. eff everybody would
lust make sure their name is on
the letter or package before It
yoes in the office the task would
be easy for then we could notify
the sender and have the mistake
corrected" said Mr.. Stocking.
Many people simply will not do
ii. however, SO Uncle Sam has to
pay the bill of keeping men in
every city to try to straighten out
the mistakes of other folks.
