Mrs. Hetty Green, mistress of nearly
one hundred millions, will tomorrow
enter upon her seventy-ffth year and at
the same time will begin her forty fifth
year US a business woman, during which
time she has accumulated fortune
that is estimated to be the largest
controlled by any woman in the
world.
When E. H. Hartman died last fall,
leaving all his property to Mrs. Harri-
man, report was circulated to the
effect that the widow had thereby bs
come the richest woman in the world.
Mr.. Harriman's wealth in real and per-
sonal property was estimated to amount
to between $4,000, 900 and 800, O0O, 900.
But there is every reason to believe
that Mr.. Harriman's five children, TO-
gether with his surviving sister and
other relatives, had all been substan
italy provided for in gifts out of hand
and trust funds set aside shortly before
the death of the financier Mrs. Harri-
mans share, therefore, is believed not
to have exceeded $50, 600, 900 or $50, OOO,-
900, SO that in any event it is erroneous
to credit her with possessing fortune
in excess of that of Hetty Green, which
is estimated to be close to the 800, 000,-
600 mark and may possibly exceed that
figure.
It is interesting to note that America
possesses not only the richest but prob
ably the three richest women in the
world. Next to Hetty Green comes
Mrs. Russell Sage, with fortune of
$50, 900, 900, and third in line is Mrs.
Hartman. Mrs. Frederick Cortland
Penfield is credited with a fortune of
500, 100000.
The four women named inherited
practically the entire estate of their
husbands. Many other American
women have survived their millionaire
husbands, but in few cases have the
widows received the entire estates
Thus, Cornelius Vanderbilt ST., left an
estate of $125, ZOO. 600, but the widows
portion was only 80, 600, 900 and trust
fund yielding $25O,0OO a year. Mrs.
Marshall Field, whose husbands estate
amounted 70 $20O,O0O,OOO, received
$3, 600, 900 as wedding present in lieu
of dover interest. Mrs. o. H. P.
Belmont received the whole of her
husbands estate of $5,O00,OOO. Mrs.
Norris *. JeSsup received q little
over half of the $4,000, 900 left by her
husband.
Outside of the United States the rich
est woman is believed to be Frau
Bertha Won Bohlem, who came into DOS
session. of the $4,000, 900 left by her
father, the celebrated gun manufac-
turer. The Marchioness of Graham,
by the dealh of her father, the Duke
of Hamilton, came into possession of
an income of nearly 100000 a year.
The Duchess Of Roxburghe, who was
Miss May G)eleG, is credited with pos
sessing q fortune of $50, 900, 900. Mrs.
s. q. Ascher daughter of the late Har-
ry Barnato, is estimated to be worth
100000 900. The Countess Szechenyi,
who was Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, is
placed on the list with $12, 900, 900.
Nine Creel Of Mexico is said to have
an income of So 100000 a year. The
Baroness Won Eckardstein, daughter
of Sir Bluodel Maple, has recently
come iuoo the second portion of her
fathers fortune, making her yearly in
come something like $3.50, OOO.-Ex-

The LIQUOR TRAFFIC

That the control of the liquor traffic
either by prohibition, high license OF
local option, is coming to the front in
this state is plain to all who keep in
touch with public sentiment. The tenn.
p9rance sentiment is surely growing
and when it asserts itself it will demand
the Punishment of liquor from the state
or more restrictive law governing the
traffic. Coupled with such law will
doubtless be one giving the people the
right to say whether liquor shall OF
shall not be sold: in their community
If the choice comes between the re.
striction of the liquor traffic, either by
high license or local option, or present
conditions, we believe the people of
Nevada will overwhelmingly favor high
license.
In this connection, the following by
Archbishop Riordan of Baltimore is OF
interest:
Local option should under no cir.
;umstances apply to this city bal,
imore). regret to be compelled to
'eturn to this subject, but as a citi.
ZEN and a churchman who loves his
native city am profoundly impressed
# it's temporal and moral welfare.
Liquor would be sold here quite as
.bundantly under prohibition laws as
.nder we'll regulated license. The con.
equence will be that liquor will be
isposed of contrary to law and in
tead of in accord with law.
when law is flagrantly and ha-
itually violated it brings legislation
ito contempt. 1t creates a spirit of
eception and hypocrisy and conpels
zen to do insiduously and by stealth
hat they would otherwise do openly
I'd above board.
"All good men-good cltizens-are
favor of the virtue of temperance,
I'd l regret to see that the moral
le of the question has not been suf-
;iently considered. You can not leo
ate men by civil action into the per-
rmance of good and righteous deeds
IF we are TO improve the morality
our city and make our citizens more
nperate, let the virtue Of Temperance

let it be enforced on the family;

'riety; and let them impress upon
,ir children the terrible conseuuen.
Of drunkenness.
We might proftably learn lesson
IN the old cities of Europe, which
1000 years have been agitating
question. There is not single
in Great Britain, Ireland or on the
tinent which attempts to prohibit
law the sale of liquor. They have
ned from long experience that the
methods of regulating this article
commerce is to impose licenses, to
ntain good order for the protection

RS of the law.

The inhiction of fines upon the

Twelfth Birthday With Banquet
and Program.
and Program.

Twelve Years ago Wednesday even
ing, May 26, Starlight Chapter of the
Eastern Star was organized in this
city with seventeen charter members.
The event was appropriately celebrat-
ed Wednesday evening at the Mason
ic hall when a hundred and fifty of
the members met there to do honor
to the occasion.
Souvenir cards were presented to
each member in the form of a card
bearing the symbol o. e. S. surround
ed by twelve stars.
Shortly after { O'Clock Worthy
Matron Wells and Worthy Patron
Upton headed the line of march for
the dining o and it was filled to
the utmost by the large number of
guess present. The tables We've
prettily decorated and they We're lad
en- with many good things to eat. The
committee in charge of the banquet
certainly did itself proud in provid-
ing for such a fine menu, and there
were many willing hands to serve the
guests.
After an hour or more was spent
at the tables the members returned
to the lodge room, and both sides
of the hall We're lined to enjoy the
ceremony to follow. The lodge was
opened in due form by the officers
making their entrance and escorting
the worthy matron to her station.
Mrs. Wells made some remarks con-
corning the anniversary, and very
happily reviewed the past twelve
years of the order. She referred to
the occasion when the Chapter vas
first organized and of the seventeen
charter members, several of whom
have passed 10 their home above. The
late Mrs. Anna Williams was the frs.
worthy matron and DR.. Bracy was
the first worthy patron of the chap
ter. Mrs. Wells touched in an inter
ter and what it meant. She paid a
special tribute to the Mother Chap
ter, PlanEinton. which was then The

200 feet long by 65 feet wide will
house enough room in which to do
quite a large business, although the
members of the company expect to
erect other buildings in the course
of the next few years as the growth
of their business demands.

fell down on thought and compost
ton. Dobson's victory was a de-
cisive one, marking the seventh vict-
DRY out of the last nine annual con-
tests.
In the meet the boys have not been

Fishing For Sharks.

The shark fishing season is on here
now and furnishing quite a pastime
for those addicted to such dangerous
sports. The sharks seems to be bolder
than usual, very large ones coming
into the bay, while generally they
keep out toward the entrance.
Recently quite a large one was
caught from one of the piers. 1t
measured over two meters in length
and caused quite an exciting battle be-
fore the fishermen got the second har-
poon into it. This morning anoth ?r
much larger one was caught by some
fishermen in boat. 1t was only sub
dued after a hard struggle and finally
towed alongside the sea wall and
hoisted out with a derrick The ami
NAL was near three meters long and
was still alive after being hoisted out
into the dock and it slashed around at
a lively rate, causing the crowd that
had gathered to see it to scatter in all
directions to avoid its enormous tail.
After being killed the animals liver
was removed and it measured more
than three feet in length. This fur
nishes very fine transparent oil that
is used for many purposes.
