Her home was wher ever she chose for a lime to hang hor little black cape and bonnet, often in the hall bedroom of some cheap boarding house, or in some remote and modes! Hat around New York. Her eccentric extremes of economy led to a popular misconception of her as a "sell-made woman." As a mat ter of fact, she was born rich. lu IX0f> she inherited some ip 1 0.000.000. which accumulated upon itself until in f)0 years lt had multiplied nearly nen times.

Washington. .Inly ?.-While the diplomatic aspects of the Mexican difficulty showed no change to-night, War Department measures for a new distribution of the border patrol clearly indicated that months of ac tive service along the frontier await tho thousands ol National Guardsmen gathering in the South. Only the ap pointment of a general officer to su preme command is lacking now to complete adequate administrative machinery not only for border opera tions, hut for a campaign ol' any de sired proportions in Mexico. tinder tho new plan the 1.800-mile frontier will he divided so that the Southern and Western military de partments will lake care of the K?st eln and Western extremities of the line, respectively.

She married in I S G 7. lier husband was Edward H. Green, who was Uni ted States consul general in Manila, where he made a fortune in the silk trade?, lt ls said Green, at a public dinner, heard some one speak of Get ty Robinson as "thc greatest Ameri can heiress," and straightway an nounced his determination to marry her. Before tho wedding day an agreement was signed to the effort that the wife's fortune should never bo drawn on to meet the husband's expenses. He died in 1902, after having lost most of bis money in Wall street. i i<;i KIM; FOLUTKHN MIIJ-ION Mali's A? lol? Cotton Crop-Curo* linn Condition ls on. Washington, July I.-Prosent con ditions indicate a cotton crop ot 14, 200,000 equi valen I 500-pound bales tills year. The Department of Agri culture forecasts this total produc tion to-day in connection with Its re port announcing the condition of the crop on June 2? and the preliminary estimate of this year Vac roago. Last J year's crop, the smallest since 1009,1 was I 1.1 9 1,820 hales, while two years ago it was IG,134,930 bales.) the biggest crop ever grown. In I !? I 3 it was 14,156,486 hales, and In 1912 the production was 13,703,421 bales. In its preliminary estimate of tho area of cotton In cultivation this year, the department places the fig ures at 3ii,'J44,00(1 acres. That com pares with 3 2,107.000 acres the re vised estimate of acreage in cultiva- i lion a year ago, and with 36,832,000 acres harvested in 1914, thu year rec ord production, 37,089,006 in 191?, tho year ot* record average and 34, 283,000 acres in lill2. The condition of the growing crop on June 2;") was S 1.1 per cent of a normal, as compared with 7 7."> por cent on May 25 this year. 80.2 pel een t on June 25 last year, and 8 0.2 per cent the average condition for the last ten years on June 2.1. Since the May 2.? report was made, placing the condition at 77.ii per cent ol* a normal, the weather has not been entirely favorable for the grow ing crop, lt has been too wet to per mit Of satisfactory cultivation and too cool for proper growth. During the lirst week following the May re port the weather was favorable for development and the crop was re ported improving steadily. Holl wee vil were reported in Soul lien; Ala bama and in parts of Mississippi. Rains hindered cultivation during the second week in the north and there was considerable complaint of slow growth, due to cool nights, in nearly all sections, while boll weevil were reported numerous in Alabama and were lound In Florida. Some damage from weevil was reported. Rainy weather and unseasonable cold ' continued during the latter part of, the month, checking growth, hut the j plants were reported improving gen erally in the central and southern parts of the bolt. The weevil was re- j ported in parts of Texas and North- \ ern Louisiana. in calculating its forecast of total production the bureau of crop esti mates based the yield on the condi tion of the crops on June 2i> and the preliminary estimate of the acreage, allowing for abandonment one per cent from tho planted area. The final production, however, probably will be larger or smaller than esti mated according as conditions Iron1 now until time of picking are better or worse than average conditions.

Day Barrett, 2613 Burroughs street, one ol' the best known men in Savannah. Mr. Barrett has been a city salesman in the grocery line tor sixteen years, and his enthusiasm over Tanlae is no surprise to thc many friends who knew of his previ ous condition of health and now real ize what it has done for him. "I've been little better than a nervous wreck for three years," he continued, "and have been treated by no less than Hftoen doctors right here in Savannah. I was forced to turn down better paying jobs, travelin?, boca uso I was afraid to get away from home tn this condition, and at limes I was actually afraid to so out on the street I was so weak and shaky "I suffered with headaches and neuralgia ami my stomach was in bad condition all the time and lt seemed like I couldn't get anything that would set me In order or enable me io digest my food. I couldn't eat anything that wouldn't sour on my stomach and nive me pain or make nie miserable. I was thin and had very little strength. In fact, the least little exertion would exhaust me and I was hardly equal to any thing. I would have pains in my back and joints continually. and would be so nervous and exhausted at night I couldn't sleep at all. I would often have to take stimulants to enable me to keep on going. "One of thc doctors who treated me suggested that I try Tanlae and see what it would do in my ease, and besides that, a close personal friend begged me to take it. So I started tn on it about a month ago, and I couldn't tell you in a weak how glad I am that I got it, for it's the very thing. I haven't taken but two bot tles yet, but I've actually gained several pounds in weight and lt's sim ply picking nie up and getting me over every one of my troubles just as fast as it can. As 1 said before, there is no estimating the good it has done me. ll is a great medicine be yond all doubt and I am going to keep on taking it until there is no ch inee of these troubles coming back on me."
