WILL OF E. H. HARRIMAN
All of the Property Bequeathed
to Mrs. Harriman. !
WORLD'S WEALTHIEST WOMAN
It is Believed Mr. Harriman Provided for
Children With Gifts Out of Hand.
Estate Valued at $100,000,000.
New York City.—A hundred brief
words, weighted each with approxi
mately $1,000,000, and containing in
their entirety the last testament of
E. H. Harriman, make his widow,
Mary Averell Harriman, one of the
wealthiest women in the world, It is,
perhaps, the briefest will on record
for the disposal of an estate of such
magnitude, All his property is lert w
Mrs. Harriman,
Wall street estimates that Mrs.
Harriman will inherit in realty and
personal property between $75,000,000
and $100,000,000.
Mr. Harriman's private fortune is
supposed to have been greater than
this by many millions, but there is
reason to believe that his unmarried
daughters, Mary and Carol, his mar
ried daughter, Mrs. Robert Living
stone Gerry, and his two sons, Wil
liam Averell and Roland, a boy of
fourteen, together with his surviving
sister, Mrs. Simons, and other rela
tives, have all been substantially pro
vided for in gifts out of hand and
trust funds set aside by Mr. Harri
man during his lifetime, The will is
dated June &, 1903.
Mrs. Harriman was Miss Mary
Averell, daughter of W. J. Averell, a
wealthy banker of Rochester, N. Y.,
who made his money in the Rome,
Watertown and Ogdensburg railway
company. She brought her husband
financial aid in his early struggles in
the market, when aid was most valu
able to him.
Their thirty-six years of married
life has always been said to have
been ideally happy.
If the estate measures up to expec
tation, Mrs. Harriman, accordiag to
common estimation here, is the
wealthiest woman in the world. Mrs.
Hetty Green’s holdings have been es
timated at $40,000,900; those of Mrs.
Frederick Courtland Penfield, who
was Anne Weightman of Philadelphia
at $80,000,000, and those of Mrs. Rus
sell Sage at a like amount. !
STREET CAR STRIKE AT OMAHA.
Bricks Thrown by Strikers Injure Non-
Union Strikers.
Omaha, Neb.—Violence in the
street car strike broke out at Coun
cil Bluffs when a car on the interur
ban line was derailed and the win
dows smashed. Conductor Doolittle
was hit in the face with a brickbat,
but was not seriously hurt,
Three hundred and fifty strikers pa
raded through the principal streets of
the city, and were applauded by thou
sands who lined the streets. At the
time a crowd, probably 2,000, of whom
not an inconsiderable number were
women, had gathered at the corner of
Fourteenth and Farnam streets,where
for an hour or more every car which
passed on either side ran the gaunt
let of jibes and .jeers. A" first the
trolleys were pulled off and the ropes
cut so that the coaductors were com
pelled to climb on top of the cars to
replace the trolleys.
At a meeting of the bhusiness men’s
association, decisive action was taken
to assist in the maintenance of order,
especially to offer such assistance as
might be necessary to preserve or
der during the visit to Omaha of
President Taft and his party.
FOREST FIRES COSTLY.
$50,000,000 and Fifty Lives Lost
Every Year.
Washington, D. C.—A startling sit
uation has developed as the result of
a taking of stock of the forestry re
sources of this country, according to
Treadwell Cleveland, Jr., expert in
the bureau of forestry.
“It has shown,” Mr. Cleveland de
clares, “that we are taking from the
forest every year three and a half
times as much wood as is added by
the new growth; that lass than one
third of the growing trees felled by
the lumber men is ever used at all,
so that two-thirds of all the timber
cut is simply destroyed. It has shown
that one-eleventh of all the forests
are swept by fires every year, and
that on the average, since 1870, the
forest fires have cost $50,000,000 in
timber and fifty lives.
“It has shown that over 99 per cent
of the forests in private hands,which
comprigse three-fourths of all the for
est land and four-fifths of the wood,
is devastated by destructive use and
the sweep of unchecked fires, while
less than omne per cent is properly
handled for successive crops or effec
tively protected from fire.”
ATTEMPT TO LOUT TRAIN,
Five Bandits Dynamite the Express
Car Near Leadville, Col.
Leadville, Col.—A daring attempt
by five bandits to rob a Denver and
Rio Grande passenger train was made
at Leadville. The express car was
dynamited. According to the train
men, no booty was secured. |
The train had proceeded but a‘
short distance from Malta when two
men crawled over the tender and com
pelled the engineer and fireman to
march back to the express car.
The express messenger was told to
open the door. He refused, and a

For the pains of rheumatism there

They overcome that nervous irri

invaluable: to chronic sufferers, as
