A WOMAN MILLIONAIRE.
Mrs. Hetty Green One of the Shrewd
est Operators in Wall Street.
Ebe Is One of the Richest Persons in
New York—ln Her Younger Days
She Was a Well-known , Society
Belle—Always Frugal and Saving.
From the New York Herald.
It was 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and
there was the usual crowd and crush at
the New York end of the hi? Brooklyn
bridge. A plainly dressed, severe looking
woman, of middle age, carrying a black
leather reticule, slowly ascended the
steps from Park row. and approached the
ticket window. The nickel she had drawn
from her purse in some manner, slipped
through her fingers, fell to the floor and
rolled away among the crowd. The wom
an darted after it. and after a lengthv
search recovered it, and returned in
triumph to the window. The smile on the
faces of those who watched the
search would have broadened into a laugh
had they known that the anxious
owner of the nickel was Mrs. Hattie
Green, the sharpest woman in Wall street
and the richest woman in New York
Mrs. Green is one of the characters of
this big town. She is now about 50, and
her wealth, frugality, shrewdness and
eccentricity form never-failing themes
for the brokers in Wail street in their odd
moments. Born Harriet H Kobinson,
she claims New Bedford as her birth
place. Her father, Edward Morton Kob
inson. was a keen-witted and frugal
Quaker, whose inheritance from a long
lino of hardy and prosperous New Eng
land ancestors included habits of close
and pinching economy and a strong and
abiding love of money. From the first,
all of his business ventures were marked
with unvarying success. With an older
brother he started a mill for the manu
facture of suUuets. and later opened a
house in Providence, K. I. Subsequently
he engaged in the oil trade. Ills wealth in
creasing steadily from year to year, and
in 1839 he married the daughter of Gideon
Howland, of New Bedford, who was ex
tensively engaged in whale fishing, and a
man of large means.
Noting the large profits accruing from
his father-in-law's shipping interests, he
lost no time in investing his money in the
same field, and in a few years was re
puted to be the largest whale and mer
chant shit) owner iu the country. His
father-in-law's death was speedily fol
lowed by that of his wife, an event which
swelled his fortune to the extent of half
the wealth of Gideon Howland, and en
abled him to again greatly enlarge his
business. He now became a member of
tin- firm of W. ’l'. Coleman & Cos., shipping
merchants of this city. Thereafter ho
spent much of his time in New York, and
watching the trend of speculation in Wall
street, he became convinced that there
was money for him there, provided he
was cautious and sagacious. He, there
fore, became a speculator in stocks, and
his operations were attended with so
much success that when he died lie left
an estate valued at #9,000.000. Former
associates of his recall him as a man
grasping and avaricious in the extreme,
but In whom boldness was admirably
combined with caution and who fulfilled
all of his contracts to the letter.
HER EARLY CHILDHOOD.
The childhood of his daughter was
mainly spent in New Bedford, and among
the lesons early impressed upon her mind
were economy and simplicity in daily lifo
and the value and virtue of money. She
was thus prepared to hold and increase
the joint estates of her father and mother
when in the course of time they passed
into her possession. As she approached
maturity her winters as a rule were spent
in New York, and there are many gray
haired beaux who remember her as a
buxom and beautiful society belle,in whose
wake followed a train of eager suitors.
During these visits to the metropolis sho
stopped at a boarding house on Twenty
second street, to the inmates of which
she gave frequent and salutary proofs of
her economy and frugality. Her drosses
were plain and simple and often out of
date: she had no regard for young men
vrb.o wasted their substance on flowers and
gorgeous raiment, and rather than pay cab
hire to go to a party she would pull a pair
*)f heavy stockings over her stout shoes
and gayly tramp it through the snow,
pulling the stockings off when she got
there and spreading them on the hat rack
to dry. But she was chaperoned by the
Grinnell family, with whom she was con
nected on her mother's side, a fact which
meant much in those days and gave her
admission into the most exclusive circles.
She attended nearly all the balls, parties
and concerts in which swelldom was in
terested, and was much sought after.
A tall and prepossessing blonde, she was
noted for her animal spirits and her bril
liancy in conversation. The uncle of
Prod Gebhard is one of those whoso hand
she refused at that time, and he is said to
have had plenty of company.
Mrs. Green’s career as a belie ended
about the time the war began, and there
after her habits and mode of living as
closely resembled those of her father as
ave and sex would permit. Gradually
the love of gain became the absorbing
passion of her life, and all her thought
and energy was devoted to increasing the
fortune which came to her by the death
of her father toward the close of the war.
Shipping seemed to her a hazardous in
vestment and one difficult to watch, so
she sold her interests therein, nnd for the
time being invested the proceeds in
bonds, mortgages and similar securities.
All the details of this transfer involving
millions she attended to in person, and
traveled all over New England inspecting
and buying up town and farm mortgages
and searching fo>- any other investment
that promised safety and regular returns.
Soon after her father's death her maiden
sister also djed. leaving her an estate
amounting t 044,000.000. For this estate
Miss Robinson carried on a long and
stubborn contest in the courts, and in the
end her efforts were successful. How
ever. popular sentiment in New Bedford
was with the other contestants in the
ease, and she has r never revisited her
birthplace since her aunt's fortune passed
into her possession.
HAD MAN'T SUITORS.
1 hare said that as a society belle Miss
Robinson rejected any number of suitors.
She did not marry until she was nearly
Ho. and when she did her marriage was
arranged on a purely business basis
The lucky man was Edward A. Green.
He had once been a poor hoy in Bellows
> alls, A r t., but had sought and found a
fortune at Manila, the capital of the
Philippine Islands. He was seventeen
years a resident of Manila, and. as an ex-
Portor, acquired during that time a for
tune of over a million. He was only a
few years the senior of Miss Robinson
and when, in the early flu's, lie located in
New York and in due time became a
suitor for her hand, he was a strikingly
handsome man But he had other than
purely physical charms to command him
to the maiden of many millions. There
is an ancient legend to the effect that
on a certain St. Valentine’s day Mr
Green bought a valentino to send to his
sweetheart, but by one of those mistakes
inat sometimes happen addressed and
sent her the wrong envelope- one that
contained instead of a valentine a re
ceipted bill fora cheap suit of clothes.
Uie mistake proved a lucky one Miss
Robinson was delighted with this innd
in r tnce o V ler suitor’s economy
and P r omptuess in pav
ht Jto lhf rcafter lie was encouraged in
bis woome. and in due time they were
married But before this event oeouir'cd
an ante-nuptial agreement was dn ,'y
signed and sealed. By this contract Mr-
Green agreed that his wife's fortune
| should not be liable for his expenses In
other words, he agreed to support his
I wife the same as though she wen-with
out means of her own, and to make due
and proper provision for any children
that might result from the marriage.
And this contract Mrs. Green has always
enforced to the letter.
For some time alter their marriage the
Greens resided in I-ondon. where their
two children, a boy and a girl, were horn,
but in 1872 they returned t> New York,
and during the decade that followed Mrs.
Green was one of the heaviest, shrewdest
and most successful operators in Wall
street. Like her father, she had con
cluded that speculation was a good thing
whenever the degree of risk was reduced
to a minimum, and in her purchases and
sales she was guided wholly by her own
judgment a judgment held in high
esteem by the keenest and ablest men in
the street. Her woman's intuition al
ways enabled her to avoid the pitfalls and
ambushes often laid for her Moreover,
she was a skilful strategist, and many a
mysterious but powerful movement in
sto ks was traced to her, yet always when
it wa#too late t.. thwart her designs. She
adroitly manipulated several corners in
Heading, iu which the unfortunate
‘•shorts” were, squeezed without mercy,
and she was a frequent and heavy ojiera
tor in Louisville and Nashville. For a
time she owned a controlling interest in
tho latter property, and was powerful
enough to make her husband its president
and a member of its board of directors.
INVESTS I.ARGELT IN DIAMONDS.
Her husband is an acute and Icvel
hoaded financier, but Mrs. Green early
proved herself the better man of tho two.
It is generally believed that her fortune
had increased from #13,000,000 to §30,000,-
000 before she was married, and the sum
last named, by accumulations and success
ful operations, she has since more than
doubled. For many years John L. Cisco
was her banker, and when be failed, in
1885, it was found that she had on deposit
with him $25,000,000 in government bonds
and first-class securities. These, more
over, represented only a portion of her
vast wealth. She now keeps her bonds
and securities in the Chemical National
Bank, and also has deposited there one of
the finest collections of diamonds in
America, She picks Up her diamonds as
an investment which will not depreciate
in value and can instantly he turned into
cash, and it is very doubtful if she ever
wore one of them in her life. She would
scorn such a display as evidence of prodi
gality aud vanity. Of late years she has,
to all practical purposes, withdrawn from
the street, and now devotes her time to
the management of her widely scattered
properties and the judicious investment of
her dividends
Mrs. Green is the embodiment of hon
esty, but is always on the lookout to savo
an honest penny. Her household expenses
do not exceed three or four thousand a
year, and I have never seen her with an
outfit that cost over S2O on the outside.
She patronizes the elevated and surface
cars, whenever possible, and was never
known to hire a cab. One day John J.
Cisco saw her crossing the crowded street
in the direction of liis office, carrying a
leather bag. When she reached the office
and opened the bag, her banker found
that it was filled with securities worth a
million or more. Surprised at the risk
she had taken in carrying the hag through
tho streets in such a careless and un
guarded way, lie said: ’ Mrs. Green, what
in the world makes you take such a risk?
You might have been robbed. Why
didn’t you take a cab?”
“You may be able to ride in cabs, Cisco,
but I am not,” was the cool reply of the
femnlo Croesus. She used also to koep
her family plate iu the Ciscos' vault and
once a month would visit the bunk and
burnish it up with her own hands. She
will permit no one but her husband to aid
her in clipping the matured coupons from
the bonds she lias stored at the Chemical,
and once when one of the coupons was
missing organized a search that lasted for
an hour and demanded the attention of
all the employes of the bank. When
Reading affairs were undergoing a period
ical reorganization a few years ago, Mrs.
Green went to the company's bankers to
have her old bonds sent over to Philadel
phia for exchange. She was informed
that a small fee would ho charged for the
transfer, a sum slightly in excess of tho
cost of a round trip to Philadelphia—and,
so without a moment’s delay, she returned
the bonds to her satchel and took them to
the Quaker City herself. A prominent
doctor, a noted specialist imthe diseases
of children, tells a story of Mrs. Green
that throws a curious light on her char
acter. One day, a dozen years or more
ago, he was called upon by a plainly
dressed woman, accompanied by a half
grown boy, afflicted by a serious knee
trouble. The woman said she was very
poor, and the doctor, though for somo
time he treated tho child regularly,
forebore in consequence to speak of pay
ment. One day, quite by accident, the
doctor learned the identity of his eus
toiner and lost no time in sending her a
bill for a handsome sum. This bill, after
some delay and protest, was paid. Still
there are those who accept these stories
of Mrs. Green’s parsimony with a gener
ous grain of allowance. Members of this
class say she is a sturdy, conscientious
woman, who believes in doing good to
others, and that there are a few charita
ble organizations in New York, Philadel
phia or Chicago that have not disbursed
large sums in charity for her.
HER WHEREABOUTS A SECRET.
One of tho peculiarities for which Mrs,
Green is noted is a fondness for keeping
her whereabouts a secret from the pub
lic. Her bankers and agents, of course,
know where she is at all times, but the
tax collector, process server or reporter,
who goes In search of her, soon learns
that she is about as hard to find as the
proverbial needle in the haystack, lie
sire to avoid taxation is said to be the
reason for her living in hiding all tho
time. When in New York, sho lives in
some modest hotel or boarding house, and
in Chicago and other cities she follows
the same rule. For some years sho passed
her summers in a very modest cottage at
Masneth, L. E. but in recent years has
spent the greater part of her time in Bel
low’s Falls, the Vermont birthplace of her
husband. When in Bellow's Falls, sho
stops at the leading hotel of the town 1
but selects the cheapest apartments in
the house, and indulges neither herself
nor her family in any luxuries. She is a
standing source of wonder to the people
of tho town. Her costumes, though by
no means costly, are often as prououneed
in effect as those worn upon the stage;
she often rides or promenades wearing a
hat in which are coinbined'all the colors
of the rainbow, and in winter she wears
old hosiery for overshoes. She pos
sesses ail of the Yankee fondness for
barter, and the shrewd shopkeepers of
the village find her a hard customer to
deal with.
Mrs. Green is now worth not less than
$50,000,000, and her wealth is variously,
yet almost always wisely, invested. She
owns government bonds galore, holds
stock in a dozen different railroads, con
trols big blocks of real estate in a dozen
cities, is largely interested in New Eng
land manufactures, and her chock is good
at any time for two or three million.
When she dies her wealth will go to her
son and daughter. The son, Edward 11.
R. Green, is now 25 years of age. and a
six foot specimen of sturdy manhood. He
is an exceedingly bright and shrewd
young man. and for several years has had
charge of his mother's interest in Chicago,
where she owns *10,000,000 in real estate
and has nearly as much more invested in
first mortgages. He was educated at
Fordham college, and tersely describes
himself as “born a Quaker, brought up
a Protestant, educated a Catholic, and
by business a Jew.” Aside from her

and it is said to be her fondest ambition
to make this cynical young man the

tim. ■.
FUN WITH THE CITIZENS.
Tver. Indiana Girls Have an Enter
taining Half Hour in Chicago.
From the Chicago Herald.
Tv to bright young women of Fort
Wavixe came to Chicago yesterday with
their father, a prosperous merchant of
that city. The daughters are but little
more t fan girls, but they are very pretty
girls, a.irl clever and mischievous Indiana
girls, too. Their numerous visits to Chi
cago have opened their eyes to many of
iho nimble phases of metropolitan life.
The father and daughters went to the
Grand Pa< ific hotel, where they obtained
rooms on Lae Jackson street front. They
spent the morning shopping and were
tired. The father was, too, busy until
train times Tho girls said they would
remain in t.hcir rooms during the two re
maining ho urs and rest. So the father
went bis n-.iy, and the pretty, vivacious
sisters nskcsl each other, after tho fatigue
was gone, what was going to happen
next.
Just opposite the hotel is the great of
fice building of the Western Union Tele
graph Com }>any. A little city is employed
there, and it is a frequent thing for dap
per young men and lively old men, too, to
stand beside the windows and scan with
peculiar expectancy the hotel windows
opposite. Just at the particular time yes
terday that a self-confident young man
stood twiriin g his blonde mustache by a
window, he spied a laughing face opposite
that belonged to one of those Indiana
girls. She spied him, too, and in a few
minutes she ha.d summoned her sister and
ho the head bookkeeper, and the situation
was interesting. Something like this hap
pened in a fast increasing number of other
windows of the office building, where old
men who pass in business circles as se
date individuals, and young men who
pride themselves on their own general ef
fect, stood.each unconscious of the others’
like situation, bowing, smiling, and wav
ing hands at the Indiana girls. The latter,
by using several windows and deftly
swinging the blinds, impressed each
smirking individual opposite that he was,
just at that moment, the only real fasci
nator in the world.
To the hidden occupants of the rooms
in the hotel the scene in some thirty of
the windows opposite was highly enter
taining.
It all resulted in each man considering
himself especially invited to quietly come
over to the hotel parlor. Coats were
donned, hats and clothing brushed: mus
taches were curled, and hair, if the
happy man had enough, carefully brushed.
Then, one by one, these old and young
married and unmarried office occupants
began to emerge from the great doorway.
Some wont around to the La Salle and
Clark street entrances. Others slipped
across to the general side entrance. Now
and then a determined man walked
straight across to the ladies’entrance.
On both corners are venders of chrysan
themums. A happy thought seemed to
strike almost every one of these gentle
men, and the flower market took a lively
turn.
Attendants in the hotel bar wondered
what caused a sudden influx from all
directions of men, each carrying two and
three huge chrysanthemums. Each
wanted a bracing decoction, and wanted
it quick, tun if about to do something des
perate. There was a ripple of uneasiness
on the faces of the blossom carriers as
they glared at each other and now and
then nodded hurriedly at an acquaint
ance, as if to ask: “What are you doing
here!”
Guests in tho hotel noticed blossom
bearers on the main staircase. They met
them in thgAkevator. on tho ladies’ stair
case. Tha*A'mc men who had touched
elbows at the bur and scowled at each
other’s handsome chrysanthemums, re
garded each other with scorn in the up
stairs hallways. Pretty soon there was a
score of fidgety men with at least two
score of blossoms sitting on the edges of
the furniture in the connecting parlors,
twirling their flowers or their hats un
easily, while ut least ten more wore
scattered about the halls casting furtive
glances at this unusual gathering
Just then a distinguished-looking gen
tleman. with gray hair, who seemed to
be suppressing laughter with groat dif
ficulty, and whose eyes twinkled merrily,
stepped in, put his overcoat and sachel
on the table, and stood as if expecting
someone. In a moment the two pretty,
mischievous faces of the Indiana girls ap
peared. chic in jaunty hats and furs, and
carrying littlo sachets. They glanced
quickly about, and t hen at each other, as
they stood in a doorway.
“Come, father.” said one, half stifled
with laughter. ”\Ve're all ready. You
know we never keep anybody waiting.'’
Peals of dainty laughter, in which a
resonant bass seemed to be harmonious,
rang out from the dosceuding elevator.
Five minutes later a lot of half-concealed
chrysanthemums were being sneaked
across the street. Business was so press
ing just then that thirty or forty men
wouldn’t speak even to old acquaintances.
REMARKABLE SOMNAMBULIST.
A Theological Student Who Wrot e
Sermons While Asleop.
From the London News.
One nf tho most remarkable and puz
zling stories of somnambulism lias re
cently come to light. The subject was a
young ecclesiastic at a seminary. The
bishop of the dioceso was so deeply inter
ested that he went nightly to the young
man's chamber. He saw him get out of
bed. secure paper. com]x>se and write ser
mons. On finishing a page he read it
aloud. When a word displeased him he
wrote a correction with great exactness.
The bishop had seen a beginning of some
of these somnambulistic sermons, and
thought them well composed and cor
rectly written. Curious to ascertain
whether the young mau made use of his
eyes, the bishop put a card under his chin
in such a manner as to prevent him seeing
the paper on the table before him, but he
still continued to write.
Not yet satisfied whether or not lie
could distinguish different objects placed
before him, the bishop took away the
piece of paper on which he wrote and
substituted several other kinds at differ
ent times. He always perceived the
change, because the pieces of paper wore
of different sizes. When a piece exactly
like his own was substituted, ho used it,
and wrote his corrections on the places
corresponding to those of his own paper.
It was by this means that portions of his
no-turnal compositions were obtained.
His most astonishing production was a
piece of music written with great exacti
tude. Ho used a cane for a ruler. The
clefs, the flats and the sharps were all in
their right places. Tho notes were all
made as circles, and those requiring it
were afterward blackened with ink. The
words were all written below, but once
they were in such very large characters
that they did not come directly below
their proper notes,and perceiving this, lie
erased them all and wrote them over
again.
