Lady Hartman aud Her Multi-Millions.

Lady Hartman aud Her Multi-Millions.
 The recent statement by her law yer that Lady Hartman, surviving wife of the late k. H. Hartman, would receive $500. .O00. .000 out of her husbands estate, makes quite an ep- isode in financial circles. In fact it is making quite a stir among our American female multi-millionaires.
 But female millionaires are getting rather common now. They are not scattered around very lavishly down here in Arkansas, Texas or Louisiana, but up in the upper belts they are so common that they are not much noticed nowadays.
 There are 1900 millionaires in New York City alone. Quite sprinkle of these have the accident of being of the feminine gender-more than one hundred, and very few of these have made their wealth. Perhaps Aunt Hetty Green is the most con- spicuous exception. She is a bright and shining illustration of how a woman can support a husband, keep the family pot boiling and lay up multi-millions. This is rare; so rare that we have very few of her sort down here.
 However, Lady Hartman is in the lead now. Her 300 millions put her far ahead of all the female million aire brigade. Aunt Hetty Green. Mrs. John B. Stetson, Mrs. Marshall Field, all the Astor women and all the little Gould girls are left far in the rear by this surviving relic of that Napoleon of railways.
 Just think of itl One lone little woman carrying the keys to the money bags that hold three hundred million good American dollars. Such fabulous figures and such colossal column of current dollars staggers all conception and mystify ali calcu- lation or computation. Such a for tune eclipses the splendor of the Queen of Sheba. Perhaps Cleopatra, who seduced Julius Caesar and poor Mark Antony into her tender em- braces, never had so many dollars as this plain American princess of solid current dollars.
 But, what will Lady Hartman do with her millions? Where will she put them? Echo answers, "where?" Suppose we draw on our imagina .ion and then draw out our pencil and figure a little.
 Now, getting at a woman's age is about as hard job as locating the North pole, but it can be put down as fairly correct that Lady Hartman is now fifty. Then, too, it can be put down as fairly safe to say that she will. with good behavior and good habits, live to the ripe age of eighty. This is stretching the limit, but she has a fighting chance to make it. At this rate she has thirty long, happy years to live and devour her millions.
 Now should Lady Hartman decide to quit making money and simply spend and use up her millions during these thirty years. it will by seen at a glance that she has the liberal sum of $10,000,000 for each year she lives in these low grounds of sorrow, hardship and poverty. Then, too, she would nave $833, ,338. .66 2-3 at her disposal every month. No doubt she could get on fairly well on this.
 Then, being more minute, Lady Hartman would have $27, TIT. .75 each day to meet her demands and still more precise, she could spend Sl157.- 90 every minute and owe nobody any thing. This includes day. night, Monday and Sunday. awake or asleep.
 or course while these figures are correct and all this is possible, still its not probable. Lady Hartman is a sensible woman. She has never hung around divorce court like the little Gould girls. Neither has she ever run after any of the counts, dukes or royal flunkeys across the
