New York. Oct f2.--Mrs. Mary
Hartman, widow of Edward II, Har.
riman is the richest woman in the
world. The estate left bv the railroad
magnate, who died few weeks ago,
according to a statement male by a
close friend and business associate,
is valued at $300000,000. Although
out of this Mr.. Hartman, the day be-
fore he died gave each of his children
sc. 900 900 and other relatives $1,000
900 more, the remainder, 1861 900 coo
which goes to the widow, places her
in possession of fortune beside
which the wealth o. Mrs. Russell Sage
and Mrs. Hetty Green seems small in

Not only is Mrs. Hartman the
richest woman in the world, but
among the great names of finances,
both in this county and in Europe,
hers is right at the top of the list
|among the five or six richest indiyld-
Iuals. With the executions Of the
Rockefeller, the Rothsehild, the Duke
of Westminster AMI perhaps one of
the Gould fortune.. Mrs Harriman's
wealth is greater than any other per-

planned to divide among his children,
