LITTLE NEWYORK WOMEN
HOW THEY EARN THEIR LIVING IN
THE STREETS.
A Queer Interview Infantile Croat

Pathetic Instances of Child Wisdom
in the Metropolis.

New York, Sept 10.—Tho little women
of New York are a' old in experience and
manner in many initanoes as the stalwart
girls and full-grown young women of lesser
towns. There is stmething about the high
pressure rat*' at which they live that sharp
ens the faculties of tho children. Old
fashioned girls are tie rule in the slums. A
few days ago I cam* in on a Long Branch
boat and was cutting through a small and ex
ceeding disreputable street in the lower part
of town when I was brought to a stop by a
plank stretched-across tho street from a
truck to the door of a warehouse. On this
plank sat three little girls. None of them
were over t> years or under 4. Their clothes
were ragged, but there was a certain effort
at adornment, and one of them was survey
ing her feet with great complacency. She
wore an enormous pair of bronze gaiters,
which had evidently been picked out of an
ash barrel up town. They were at least five
sizes too large for the child, but sho had tied
them on with string! and bits of colored
ribbon and was as proud of them as though
they fitted perfectly. One of the other girls
bail a bottle in her arms. which she was
nursing tenderly. There was a sort of a
burlesque gown on the bottle and the neck
was surmounted by a queer little imitation
of a hat, twisted out of common feed
straw.
“You’d better step light,” she said to mo
rn a warning tone, “er y'll wake the baby.”
“What baby?” I asked.
“My baby,” said She child, solemnly.
“Is that it in your arms?”
“Yep.”
“my dolly’s in hard luck.”
“Haven’t you a better one than that?”
“I had a tonier one,” said the child, “but
me fadder kum home wid a jag on Thurs
day night and kicked the lung out of it, so
I adopted this one.”
“My dolly,” interrupted the girl with the
bronze shoes, “’s in hard luck. Her legs is
broke so bad she can’t breathe, and I’m
leaving her home till sho gets well again.
The hot weather knocked her plumb suly.”
They went on talking in a quiet and con
fidential way about their dolls until I had
climbed over the plank and got out of hear
ing. The most amazing solemnity pre
vailed. That is a feature of half the chil
dren in town; they are everything but hap
py. The more knowing among them do all
sorts of manual labor and do it well. I
know of a newsdealer on Broadway, just
below Fulton street, who had taught a little
girl to sell patters rapidly and effectually, al
though the ohild is scarcely able to talk.
She is a chubby-faoed girl, and her hands
are scarcely big enough to. pick up two pen
nies at a time. She sits in the middle of the
stand surrounded by papers, with a cigar
box full of change in her lap. Her big
bright eyes run from face to face, and when
a customer comes along she beams on him
with unmistakable friendliness and wel
come. He selects his papers, hands her the
com, and she thrusts her chubby fists into
the box and counts out bis change with
rapidity and unerring precision. Very
often the novel sight starts a line of custom
ers, and half a dozen men will gather
around looking and larking with the little
girl. She never loses her liead, however,
and she probably makes as much money for
her mother as any 5-year-old in town.
One day last week I was on the point of
buying some [tapers from a big news-stand
near the elevated road when a big, benev
olent and good-natured dry goods man with
whom I have a slight acquaintance came
along and seizing me by the arm said:
‘‘You’re not going to spend money here
with the Midget close by, are you?”
“The Midget? What Midget?”
“The Indianapolis Midget.”
“Never beard of the lady.”
“Come along and I’ll present you,” said
the jolly old merchant, excitedly. I knew
him well enough to know that he" was never
interested in anything but a good cause, and
I walked around the corner with him, do
spite the fact that I war in a hurry.
In front of a twnk was a small stand
sheltered by a pretty striped awning, neatly
painted and scrupulously neat. A small
brass railing which ran along the edge of
the stand was polished till it shone like the
sun The daily papers were laid out in
orderly row under paper weights that wore
decorated with the initials “I. M,” indicat
ing, doubtless, the Indianapolis Midget. Be
liirifi the counter was the child herself. Sho
is 7 years old. Her hair was arranged in
glossy braids and she wore a big white apron
over her dark frock. A pencil half as long
as her arm was balanced behind her ear,
and her dark little face was twisted into a
business-like scowl ns she talked to a small
find adoring negro of about her rbvn age
who was looking at her with big and awe
stricken eyes.
p
“all thk morning PAPERS 1”
“D’you deliver all the papers, Hankie,
like y said y’ would?”
“Ah did, Mis’ Midge, fo’ Gawd; ah did,
ah did."
"1 think," said the Midget, tapping her
teeth reflectively with the pencil anil look
mg very luu'd at her slave, “that yer lyin'
like rats.”
“No. no, missy, swear fo’ Gawd,” pro
tested the boy violently. “Done gone leave
ura all.”
“All right,” said the small mistress of the
establishment, apparently well sat isfied at
last that he was hilling the truth. “Here’*
Kumfln’ for you.”
(She selected a very big and very red stick
of cuudv from the Uttte showcase at the
nuttier cud of the stand and lianded It hi
*!• small African with a smile that caused
him tu show two Mlitterlng rows of Ivories
m return. Then tLe Imijr seated himself on
the sidewalk at a discreet distance and be
gan u> reduce the risible supply of stick
i**dr white he followed **env lunveaumt
of his small mistress with his big black eyes.
My friend, the merchant, bustled up, and
the girl jumped up aud down happilv at
seeing him.
“Hello," she said, seizing his out
stretched hand in both of hers and squeez
ing it while she smiled up at him,
“Good mawning, my dear,” said the mer
chant, cheerfully, “how’s business?”
“Great,” said the girl, selecting the pa
pers we indicated, rolling them up deftly,
binding them with elastic and handing them
over while she made the change rapidly.
We talked a moment with tho child arid
then w-ent down town.
“Be sure you always buy vour papers
of her,” said the amiable philanthropist.
“She has the making of a good woman in
her.”
“YV here did her extraordinary name come
from ?”
||
POINTERS FOR HER DISSOLUTE TIRE.
“She was shipped from New York to In
dianapolis as baggage. A tag was tied to
her shoulder and she was sent through in
charge of the train hands to her aunt there
after her mother died suddenly here.
The aunt refused to receive the little waif
and she was returned to the freight depot.
There I saw her Sitting on a trunk and cry
ing bitterly. There were several New York
men coming East that day. and wo chipped
in and brought the child with us. A col
lection was taken up on the train, and it
panned out so well that wo had enough to
buy her a stand and stock it well. My wife
found her a boarding place in tho family of
our butcher, where she pays $2 a week. She
seldom clears less than $6 a week, and we
have taught her how to keep accounts. I
never met a 15-vear-old girl who know half
as much as the Midget—and, by tho way,
the name was bestowed on her by tlie West
ern newspapers when she went out there as
freight. It has clung to her ever since, and
I have advised her to use it from business
motives, as she may as well profit by her
notoriety; then, if she develops into some
thing better than a newsgirl, she can use her
own name and no one will ever identify her
with the Indianapolis Midget.”
Anotbbr instance of the extremo maturity
of New York’s little girls occurs to me. A
very dissipated and rakish-looking old man
was confronted by his ragged daughter on
the corner of Sixth avenue and Twenty-first
street just as he was steering unsteadily for
his home. The girl, who was between li and
7 years old, looked at him contemptuously.
“You—make—me—tired,” she said with
heavy emphasis on every word.
“I’m feelin’ a little queer, Nellie—”
“Yer fullernagoat again,” she said.
“I know it.”
“Well, what time a day is this here fur
giftin' a load onto y’u? YVhy can’t, y’u git
booze at night an’ on the deal sneak like
Beezy OlGilhgan’s fadder? Ho gits an’ele
gint drunk on an’ comes in whin every
wan’s in lied. You come ’omo by daylight.
No one objiks t’ yer gittin’ chuck, but y’
oughter do it like agen’leman.”
Worldly logic that, for a child who should
still be in the nursery.

WOMEN MILLIONAIRES.
Some Interesting Points About the
Richest Woman In the World.
[Copyrighted.]
It is settled, I suppose, that the Dona Isa
dora Cousiuo is coming to New York as soon
as the season is fairly opened this winter. If
she does, the city will have a sensation, and
one of a sort that it appreciates. The
Chilian money queen never does anything
by halves. She proposes to take a house,
furnish it as few houses in New York have
ever been furnished, and it is in the air that
she means to show New Yorkers how un
limited cash can entertain. She can teach
a lesson or two in that art if she tries. She
is a learned professor, and money fetches
New York every time.
Tho Sonora Oousino is something more
than the richest woman in the world? She
has one of the biggest fortunes held by
either sex, possibly the largest on tho West
ern continent. She is, unless the last season
or two has faded her greatly, something of
a beauty. She is a great deal of an eccen
tric and not a little of a genius. She has
astonished pretty nearly all the capitals
of Europe in their turn, and she cannot rest
on her laurels without astonishing New
York too.
Tho Dona Isadora is not much short of 40,
but she looks younger. She is rather above
medium height and dresses to look tall. Her
figure is graceful, but her big dark eyes are
her taking feature. Her skin is a Spanish
brown with a ilash of red under it, and she
has quantities of dark hair. She is one of
the best dressed women in the world in an
imperial sort of way, and with a daring
use of color. I doubt if there is anywhere
a private jewel collection to equal hers.
She wears more stones at a tune than
is usual with people who haven’t so
many and who live in North American
latitudes.
No more clover business woman exists.
She inherited cattle, married mines, and
now, a widow, has gone into about every
money-producing enterprise in which Chili,
the most progressive of the Southern re
publics, has engaged. She is the biggest
real estate owner in Santiago and Valpa
raiso. She has furnished the capital for
manufacturing enterprises. She has started
art [lotteries. She has built a railroad and
runs two lines of iron steamships. South
American fortunes are hard to estimate, but
many people have nut hers above $200,000,-
000. Money multiplies fast in her hands, for
her eve is everywhere.
There was a young man, a son of one of
her cousins, I believe, whom she sent to a
New England college some years ago. South
Americans, by the way, have a fancy for
New England schools. The young man was
fairly clever, very good looking, not at all
studious, had plouty of money, and was a
great favorite. Shortly after the beginning
of a term he left school abruptly, and was
sent abroad, so the tulo went,l>y a whim of Ins
rich relative. Some magnificent rubies that
she hail many times coveted had been
offered for side, and had gone on the market
without her knowledge. He was to hunt out
their buyer, trace the gems, and get them
for her at any price. The rubies were some
of it odd how the ox-Empress'
gems, laces and poodle dogs turn up every
where -and they were in Now York tieforo
he reache 1 the other side. A would-lte swell
dame had paid a good many thousands for
them, and tho scion of the Southern PrinoetM
post**? Isv-k again, got an introduction to
the house, flattered the gopd lady, told her
the predicament ho was in, offered her a
choice of all the jewelers’ stores in creation
at anv figure, wnl, in slant, got the ruble*,
delivered them in person, and saved his
l>r<w| >ects in life and Dona Isadora's good
grace*.
Ttiere are two slender graceful daughters,
somewhere in their teens, who will coma
out in New York, and high times are ahead.
Mother and girls *Jak the purest English
as ail Chilians do. Tim senora is a tropi
cal creature, and if all tales *if her are true
subject to cyclones. ...

THE MORNING NEYY'S: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1887.
! women are not few. Hetty Green is credited
i with being the most of a capitalist of her
; sex in the United States. Her wealth would
I foot tip from $ 35,000,000 to $40,000,000, I
suppose. She inherited 515,000,000, married
$1,000,000 and has made the rest by shrewd
financiering. Another clear-headed woman
is Miss Elizabeth Garrett, who must have
$20,000.01)0 or more and who knows how to
take care of it. She was her father’s priv
ate secretary for years and understands
Baltimore and Ohio stock as well as any
body. Miss Garrett is not as rich as she
would be if she were less charitable. She
never flings money away recklessly, but
expends large sums with lUserimination and
good sense on educational and philanthropic
projects. Mrs. Mark Hopkins is richer than
Miss Garrett, though her neighbors, the vill
age folk, are less enthusiastic about her than
they used to tie liefore she put up a high
fence or Chinese wall about that $2,000,000
Si lace of hers at Great Barriugtoii. Mi's.
opkins is not worth less than $80,000,000
or #25,000,000 probably, and she too is noted
for her charity. Mrs. Emily 11. Moir, the
heir of the Morgan property, pays the larg
est personal assessment of any woman in
New York, and Mrs. Sarah H. Green
comes next her. Mrs. John Jacob Astor
has a tidy sum of from $7,000,000 to $9,000,-
000. Rich New York widows estimated at
from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 abound, and
there are some hundreds of unmarried
women under 80 who have from SIOO,OOO
upwards in their own name. Mrs. W. E.
Dodge has invested her money well and it
amounts to $5,000,000 perhaps. Commodore
Vanderbilt’s widow lias something more
than doubled what her husband left her.
Mrs. Robert Goelet and Clarkson Potter’s
widow are not poor. Miss May Callender
must be worth a million. The Misses Leary
and the Misses Fnrniss, of Fifth avenne,
have large incomes. Miss Adele Grant,who
has been starring it with Miss YVinslow for
foil, has $700,000 or more. Mrs. Langtry
has got above the SIOO,OOO mark. Mrs. John
Minium has money. Miss Grace 11. Dodge
has a fortune of her own. Mrs. Frank Leslie
must have $1,000,000. Mrs. Hicks-Lord has
several millions.
There are some married women in New
York who have private fortunes. Mrs.
Whitney has plenty and will have more.
YVhitelaw Reid got his money with D. O.
Mills’ daughter and Mayor Hewitt his with
Peter Cooper’s daughter.
A rich New Englander is Mrs. Sutton, of
Peabody, Mass. Her husband left her $2,-
000,0110. She has made it not far from $6,-
000,1 UK). She has not hod a happy life, for
tho one son on whom she set her heart broke
his collar bone a half dozen times falling
from ottomans and chairs, and
finally broke his neck falling
from a Shetland pony. Sho has endowed n
magnificent reference library room in the
Peabody library, founded by George Pea
body, and her boy’s picture framed in
gold hangs on its walls. Mrs. Frederick
Lenoir, ot' Springfield is another rich Bay
State woman, owning perhaps $4,000,001).
Agassiz’s daughter, Mrs. Shaw, ( of Boston,
is made wealthy by her husband’s gifts,
and supports great numbers of free kin
dergartens.
One of tho wealthiest Baltimore dames is
Mrs. Hutton, daughter of Thomas Winans.
Sho has $20,000,000 or more. Mrs. Sarah
McEvoy, of Chicago, has half that, per
haps. Mrs. C. H. McCormick, of Chicago,
has about as much.
The Drexel sisters, of Philadelphia, have
some millions apiece, and the widow of Tom
Scott, the railroad President, had $4,000,-
000 or $5,000,000 left her by her husband.
There are dozens of rich Philadelphia
widows and some good catches among the
heiresses. Miss Ellen Erben, for instance,
has a big income. Miss Lilian Reeves and
Miss Helen Rives, late settlers in the City of
Brotherly Love, have not loss than $1,500,-
000 apiece. Mrs. Disston has a great deal of
money.
Washington is not a city of rich women,’
but there are several who have $1,000,000,
some who have more than that sum. It
would be hard indeed to find a city in the
United States which has not women whose
property lists reckon up good sums.
Major Burke’s wife, of Now Orleans, and
Mrs. Nicholson, editor and owner of the
Picayune, of that city, are rich Southern
ladies, and Miss Celeste Stauffer, to whom
Tilden left SIOO,OOO, is one of the prettiest
anti brightest young women of that city as
well. •
Mrs. Alvinza Heyward, wife of the San
Francisco capitalist, lias $3,000,000 which
her husband gave her in her own name. Her
married experience has been a checkered
one. She married Heyward no long tune
after he began life with SIOO and his free
dom suit, and was left behind in Minnesota
while her husband went West to look for
gold. She did not hear from him for a num
ber of years, and it is reported that he said
she never would have hjard from him if he
had not struck it rich. He got down to his
last dollar, borrowed from Flood or some
of the bonanza men to put into a mine
that for some reason he had faith in, struck
pay dirt, divided up handsomely with his
benefactor and all went merry, though
some of the younger men have heaped up
bigger piles since. Heyward doesn’t lie
lieve in extravagance, so he launched
his son with $50,000 only when he catne of
age.
There are a number of cattle queens who
have made money. Mrs. Henry C. Meredith,
of Cambridge City, has inherited a famous
stock farm from her husband, who in turn
received it from Gen. Sol. Meredith, his
father. Mrs. Meredith is an authority in
her business, and was the only woman
present at the annual meeting of the Indi
ana Shorthorn Breeders’ Association at In
dianapolis a few weeks ago. Miss Annie
Thomas, of Billings, Mo., has a big ranch
and two [laying mines near Butte City.
Mrs. Rogers, the Texas ranch woman, has
made a million. Mrs. Bishop Iliff Warren,
who got her money from Iliff, the Colorado
cattle king, is a wealthy woman. Hho man
ages her ranch personally and shows excel
lent business judgment.
I ’rima donnas one takes for granted. Patti
gave a million francs to M. de Caux to get
rid of him. Lucca gave a good bit to her
husband. Nilsson pensioned llouzeaud, and
Gerster has pensioned Uarilini.
Eliza Putnam Heaton.
President Cleveland on Mixed Schools.
Mr. G. A. Sullivan, editor of the Mont
gomery (Va.) Democrat, recently wrote to
President Cleveland inquiring m regard to
the truth of a report that Mr. Cleveland,
while Governor of New York, approved a
bill authoring mixed schools in that State.
In replying to Mr. Sullivan’s inquiry,
President*Cleveland writes: “Tho only
bill that I know of being passed and ap
proved of on that subject, while I was Gov
ernor, was one affecting the city of Now
York, and had precisely the contrary ef
fect —that is, the pur|mw* and object was to
retain the colored schools separate anil dis
tinct from those for the whites. Mr.
Nelson J. Wnterbury, of Now York city,
I think, drew the bill, and Prof. Rosin,
superintendent of colored schools, and
Rev. Mr. Derrick, bath of New York city
advocated it strongly. Tho school liourd of
New York city had determined to consoli
date their schools with the white schools,
and the bill tAok it out of the control of tho
board, so that it should not Isi done. It was
strongly urged liefore me that separate
schools were of much more lioneflt to the
colored people than mixed schools. I ap
proved the bill, and I suppose in the city of
New York colored schools are separately
maintained to-day by virtue of its provis
ions. I have thus given you all I remember
on the subject of your inquiry. I have been
much surprised at hearing before the receipt
of yotu' letter tliut tiiis mutter has been so
grossly misrepresented ”
