mrs Hetty Green
Puzzles Collectors
WEALTHY WOMAN NOT ANXIOUS
TO MEET TAX MEN-REsI-
DENcE. A MYSTERY.

NEW YORK, May 12.--Mrs. Hetty
Green, the richest woman in the world,
has moved back to Hoboken. At any
rate she has spent several nights in
an apartment occupied by the family
OF Jacob Van Twist, caretaker, at 1911
Washington street, Hoboken. It is
supposed Mrs. Green is not overly
anxious to meet tax collectors.
Her legal residence is important to
those officials, however, as she has
many millions of dollars worth of per-
sonal property upon which taxes can
be collected only in the Jurisdiction in
which she lives. Now her residence
is something OF a mystery.
The agent Of the Hoboken house
says Mrs. Green has taken no apart.
ment there. It is recalled, however,
that three years ago when Mrs. Green
lived in that block her apartment was
in the name OF Mrs. Dewey" She
owned dog named Dewey"
FIX After Mrs. Green's daughter mar
ried Matthew Aston Wilkes, Mrs.
Green tDok an apartment at the Plaza,
but remained there only a short time.
She then took house at 8 West Goth
street. The caretaker at that house
says she never eats or sleeps there,
although she calls at the house &C.
casionally.

Early Christmas Morning,
Aged 76 Years

Paris woman, widow of the late
w. H. Lasater and one of the
most estimable ladies in Henry
county. She died at the family
residence, aged II years, 1C
months and Is days.
Mrs. Lasater was a woman of
a high order of intelligence,
cultursd, of splendid birth and
prominent in church and social
circles.
Her husband. the late w. H.
Lasater, was one of the leading
business men and citizens of this
county. He was one of the
original promoters of the Paris
Medicine Company and a factor
in the commercial progress of
this city.
Funeral services last Monday

conducted by the pastor, Rev.
W. H. Rvals. were largely at.
tended. practically all the older
business men of the city attend
ing.

cluding Tuesday, amounted to
LII. This does not include
Mansfield or shipments into the
county by river. 1t is estimated
that when all the reports are in
the total shipments for the coun-
ty will aggregate 1880, or $500
quarts. They would mean 900
gallons of liquor, or about 18
barrels. According to these
figures, sufficient liquor was re-
ceived in the county this month
to furnish a gill to every man,
woman and child. The total cost
of this immense amount of booze
would be about So, $50, not in
cluding the tran sportatio o n
charges.
1t is estimated that Paris and
Henry county spend in the neigh
borhood of 500, 900 a year. equal
to about 100 barrels, or around
5 600 gallons.

Ten thousand packages were

available to keep up with the
constant flow of packages, par
cells, bundles and boxes of all
descriptions and from all over
the country.
