OUR FEMALE MILLIONIARES
How Women of Big Treasure Chests
Invest Their Money.

The financial policies followed by
the female millionaires of this coun-
try are as a rule guided mostly by
the advice of capable lawyers, trus-
tees and investment banks. We are
told that Mrs. Russell Sage, whose
rainy day fund is probably a hun
dred million, has in her strong box
for the most part guaranteed real es-
tate mortgages on high-Class Man
haitian property and New York city
bonds. She is also a heavy lender
of money, putting it out at easy
rates that would make Uncle Rus
SELF turn over in his grave and
grOan.
The third richest woman in Amer
'ica is probably Miss Anna Weight
man Walker Penfield of PHILADELPHIA.
She is mistress of the $4O,OO0,OOO
left by her hard-headed sire, the
Quaker Quinine King" who owned,
before he was called yonder, one of
the largest drug laboratories in the
world. This fortune is planted in the
ground, for it is all loaned on ground
rents and real estate.
When old Jay Gould went to his
reward he left $4,000 shares of
Western Union, 100000 shares of
Wabash, 10000 of Erie, 100000
in Wabash bonds and a nice big
package of Missouri Pacific securi-
ties, totaling something like $125,-
100000. In these properties large
ly Miss Helen Gould's share of her
fathers harvest is still invested.
Mrs. Marshall Fields $75,00O,OO0
is in Chicago real estate and an in
terest in the Marshall Field concern
Mrs. Potter Palmer has large hold
ings also in Windy City land, Mrs
Levi Letter runs to stocks and
bonds, while Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes
wherewithal is largely made up of
London Underground Railway bonds.
AS for dear old Hetty Green, who
comes next to Mrs. Russell Sage, she
paddles her own canoe. She is a
match for any male financier that
ever operated in Wall street. She
practically controls the Chemical Ma
tiOnal Bank, sits in her office there
every day and keeps a hawk-like
watch over her $60,000,000. Her
rules for playing the game are Put
your money in bonds, loans or mort
cages" She is a lender from the
crack of the pistol, but you can bet
ter believe she looks at every square
inch of a building before she passes
the papers.

THEY ARE DIFFERENT.

Reader, have you ever noticed
when reading the advertising of the
Athens Business College of Athens,
Ca, that the ads. always said some
thing definite? They did not say,
1t will not, in our opinion, be thus
and So" or eff you can see it as we
DO" 1t strikes right at the point,
it tells you positively that they have
the best systems, the best teachers,
the best employment bureau, and
that they secure for their students
the best salaried positions; they tell
you why this is true. They do not
stop at simply telling you, but they
back every statement by a cash guar

dared to challenge. A student at any

pletion not finding the school to be
as advertised can, by handing in a
written statement to the office to that
effect, receive every cent of his tut
tlon back, and his railroad fare will
be paid both from his home to the
school and return. 1t is simply a
case of genuine goods. The Athens
Business College delivers the goods,
so to speak; it has them to deliver,
and there are no ifs and ands about
1t. That is why it is today the
largest school of Bookkeeping, Bus
mess Training, Shorthand and Type
writing in the state. We wish that
more of our advertisers could guar
antee their goods as does the Athens
Business College.

PHAROAH'S HARD HEART.
Recent Discovery Shows 1t Was True
in Literal Sense.

A London dispatch to the New
York Sun says: The Pharaoh whose
heart was hardened against the chill
dren of Israel so that he would not
let them go was otherwise known as
Menephtah. Some time ago the Sun
described the discovery of his mum
my in the tomb of Amenhotep II.
Prof. Eliot Smith unwrapped the
mummy and sent sections of the aor-
ia to the Royal College of Physicians,
London, the president of which eX-
hibited them to the pathological sec
ton. 1t is now seen that Pharaoh's
heart was hardened in another and
literal sense of the word.
To quote the Lancet: "The sec
lions show typical senile calcification
of the aorta, the bony lamelliform
layers being perfectly preserved and
the interlamellar material thickly
strewn with phosphate of lime"
Menephtah was an old man when
he died.

A WHACK AT MERE MAN.
He Was Roasted to Turn at the
Widows Club in Chicago.

MAN is unfit in the present stage
of his mental development for asso-
citation with the best type of woman
hood. The wife generally is fifty
years ahead of her husband spirit
ually and in her intuitive higher I'M
derstanding. Man is a head-hunter,
rowing the lighted streets with an
eye single to conquest. While he is
telling you that he loves you he is
winking at the girl in the big red
hat at the next restaurant table.
Men are deceivers ever. Men are
selfish, self-centered, jealous, un-
trustworthy, given to lying, prone to
criticism, holding a woman a chat
tel and himself a god. For my part
no man will ever again enter into
my life. l have tasted freedom, and

INCOME TAX
Has a Good Chance to Become
Law-VOte to be Taken
Next Friday.

Washington, June 14.-A prominent
Democratic Senator said to the Cour-
ier-Journal correspondent to-day that
he believed the vote on the income
tax amendment would be exceedingly
close, and II the minority side. voted
solidly 1t had a good chance OF pass
ing. He was not sure, however, that
all OF the Democrats would vote for
the tax, as one, If not two. were ex-
ceedingly doubtful. While he would
not name the doubtful ores, they are
believed to be the Senators from
Louisiana. The Senator said that
there are at least a dozen on his
side who had no faith that the in
come tax feature, even II adopted,
would be sustained by the Supreme
Court. The Supreme Court, as he
said, takes a great pride in sustain
ing precedcnts, and it is very rare
that it reverses itself.
In conversation with your cores
pondent Tonight FORMER secretary
Carlisle expressed the same opinion
as to the probabilities of the Supreme
Courts action on the case. While
the income tax amendment is said to
he drawn to overcome the objections
of the court, still Mr.. Carlisle thinks
the exemption clause will be taken
exception to by the court If it should
come before it i,,-,.--- .-5
The subject is attracting great in
terest here, and the vote next Friday
S eagerly locked forward to. The
highest legal opinion is that the only
sure way for an income tax is by
a constitutional amendment, and 1t is
thought that this will finally come
to pass.

NEW CENSUS FOR
ISLAND OF CUBA
Shows a Population of
Over Two Millions.
THIRTY PER CENT. NEGROES
From First Census to Pres
ent Population Has In
creased 1,877,360.

Advance information Of the result
of the latest census taken on the is
land of Cuba under the supervision of
the National Government reached the
Cuban Consulate General in New York
recently. 1t shows the population
Of Cuba, including all Ct the prov
inCes, when the work OF the census
endmerators was completed three
months ago, to lie 2,O4s,9SO, Of which
amount 69.72 per cent. is classified as
pure whites and 3O.2S per cent. are ne
groes.
According to the above figures
nearly every third person walking the
streets of Havana or any Of the other
cities and towns is a negro, and there
are almost 1000 more negro women on
the island than males OF the same
race. OF the proportion Of males and
females OF the mulatto race, which
is put down in the census as mixed"
there is a still larger preponderance
OF females, there being exactly 49,
775 more mattresses than mulattoes.
The total population of the six prov
inces is as follows: Pinar del Rio,
2!O,372; Havana, 59S,O1O; Matanzas,
1872; Santa Clara, 457 4S1; CANA
guey, 1929, and Oriente, 455,0S6.
4 recapitulatiOn Of the figures re-
veals the fact that there are 1876 fe-
males and II ,641 males OF the Mongo-
Ian race, the majority of whom en-
igrated from Cuba, there being com
paratively few japanese OH the island.
II is also interesting to note that
6.33 per cent. Of the population have
mixed blood in their veins, includ-
ing mulattoes, quadroons and octo-
rooms.
The census gives the number of ma
tive whites as 1887 males and 615,-
942 females; of foreign whites as 163,-
Ola males and 4O,62S females, and of
negroes, 1874 $50 males and 1857 fe-
males.
The large number of male foreign
ers in Cuba offsets the majority OF
native. females over native males.
a census OF Cuba was taken as
early as IVA, which showed a popula-
ton at that time of only 1880. In
1877 the population had increased to
/ 500, POI, a growth of 1,337,GIl. From
the year Of the first census to the
present day the population has in
creased 1877, 1850. and from 1877 there
has been an increase of 539,6S9.

WILL Be NO TEAM
To Represent Kentucky in Ma
tiOnaI Rifle Shoot to be
Held This Fall.

Frankfort, KY, June 12-Kentucky
will not be represented by a team of
marksmen at the National Rifle Shoot
which will be held as usual at Port
Clinton, o., this year. Adjt. Gen.
p. +. Johnson heartily favors putting
a Kentucky team in the field, but
wants the team to make a showing
commensurate with the importance of
the State. The team last year finished
thirtieth in the list of competitors.
ten. johnson is of the opinion that
the wrong system has been followed
in the organization of the military ri
file teams. I'VE took picked men and
tried to train them to shoot before"
he said to-day. "Marksmcn are born,
not made, and the next team from
Kentucky should be built up from the
foundation. We began at the wrong
end before"
Gen. Johnson says that the pur-
pose OF the regimental encampment is
to give the soldiers rifle practice.
The best marksmen in the different
regiments will be developed by the
encampment practice this year; and
from them material be secured for
State team that will be a credit.
Gen. Johnson does not say that
there will be no Kentucky team this
year. He says that the usual rifle
practice will be done at the State
encampments, and efforts are being
made to get the encampment arrange
ments completed as soon as possible.
AS the national matches will begin at
Camp Perry, August 20, and as no
steps whatever have been taken to-
wards selecting a Kentucky team,
much less the drilling of the men who
would take part, it is accepted as
certain by those who have taken a
keen interest in the development of
craftsmanship among the militia,
that there will be no team this sea-
son.

STEEL CELL NOT
STRONG ENOUGH
For Toronto Jimmy"
Who Kept His Word.
SAID he HAD JAILS BESTED
Proved It by SmOOthe Get
away From Williams
town BaStile.

Williamstown, KY, June 12.-Mat-
thew Willard, alias Toronto Jimmy"
classed as a desperate and expert
yeggman, made good his threat that
there was no jail in Kentucky strong
enough to hold him. He showed It
was no idle boast some time between
10 O'Clock last night and early this
morning, when he performed "Hou-
DIM" stunt by escaping from steel
cell in the county Jail.
With him went a negro prisoner
confined in the same Jail for a slight
offense, whom Toronto evidently
compelled to aid him escape. But
the negroes liberty was short and
he was apprehended late this after
noon.
A few days ago Toronto Jimmy
was brought here from Covington to
answer to the charge of robbing the
bank at Crittenden, In this county,
but the hearing was postponed and
Willard remained III JAIL being lock-
ed in a steel cell at night.
These cells are so constructed that
it would be impossible for u prisoner
to saw the bars from the Inside.
The general opinion is that the negro
did the saving.
Another prisoner. John Murphy. a
white man, was asleep, and claims
he knew nothing Of the affair E.til
he awOke this morning. e. ---2-sis.
After Willard reached the corridor
he sawed large iron bar in one of
the windows, through which he and
the negro crawled, and reached the
ground by means Of a rope made of
blankets.
The famous prisoner seemed to have
chosen a good time to make n break
for liberty, as a circus in town had
claimed the attention Of the populace.
It is not known at what hour the es-
cape was made. but the suppOsition
is that it was between 10 O'Clock
and midnight.
Several citizens declared that they
heard an automobile speeding toward
Cincinnati at midnight, while others
claim to have seen a stranger driving
around town in a buggy about 10
o'clock with a SLOUGH hat pulled over
his eyes.
Willard was tried here on the
charge of robbing the COrinth bank,
but was acquitted, the verdict bring
irg about a dramatic scene never be-
fore witnessed in the court house.
Cincinnati authorities we're waiting
to arrest Willard on the charge of
having burglar tools in his possession
as soon as his case was disposed of
in the Grant Circuit Court.
Euclace jackson, the negro who es-
capped with Toronto jimmy" but who
was Captured short ditance north
of town about o'clock this after
noon, was taken before the grand
Jury and closely questioned.
Toronto Jimmy" told rue shortly
after Z o'clock that everything was
ready and asked me If wanted to
60 We climbed through the window
and hit the ground at o'clock, then
walked the railroad track to Erlanger,
where he bid me- goodbye and start
ed across the country III westerly
direction"
When pressed harder for informa-
ton, Jackson said. ITS dangerous,
boss, it's dangerous" and he was re-
manded to jail No credence is placed
in his story.
