IS RICHEST WOMAN
Mrs. Taylor, Daughter of Former
Governor, Inherits Millions.
Death of Mrs. Sarah M. Flower,
Widow of Roswell P. Flower,
Makes Daughter Wealthiest
Woman In Northern N. Y.
Wafertown, N Y.—With the death
In thiB city of Sarah M. Flower, widow
of the late Governor Koswell I'. Flow-
er, th*1 only living daughter, Mrs. Em-
ma Flower Taylor, becomes one of
l..e richest, If not the richest, woman
In northern New York Willie ax y  t
Mrs Flower's will haH no; been filed
for probate, estimates of the value of
the estate place the sum at a figure
far exceeding $5,000,000 and possibly
clone to double this sum. Thai her
daughter Kmrna will Inherit the great
er part of this amount In deemed
likely
Mrs. Taylor, who was the wife of
John Byron Taylor, of this city, whom
she divorced but a few months ago,
1s already the richest woman In this
section nnd her liberal expenditure?
of her riches for benevolent purposes
have made her, as well, the most pop-
ular. Since the death of her father.
Governor Flower, In 1809, at which
time she inherited a considerable sum,
rhe has devoted her time to philan
throplcal acts and her charitable
deeds. both public and private, have
•been numberless.
The estate of Governor Flower at
ithe time of his death was valued at
upon the death of her father inherited
po small sum.
Governor and Mrs. Flower had three
children, Helen Flower and Henry
Keep Flower, both of whom are dead
nnd Emma Gertrude Flower Taylor,
who now becomes heiress to the com-
bine! fortunes of her father and
mother. What the entire sum will
amount to Is problematical.
Mrs. Taylor was born in this city
March 23, 1870. and the greater part
of her girlhood was spent here, al-
though she lived at various times In
Albany, New York and Washington
with her parents.
"UGLY" CASHIER IS WANTED
Real "Fright*" Are Told They Are
Too Good Looking—Contest
Narrow* to Three.
St !.oui .—Three of the prettiest of
25 applicant* In au*wer to an adver-
tisement for an "ugly" cashier were
selected by Vincent J. Oorley. of
Grlmiu & Gorley, florist*. One of the
three finally will be chosen for thU
Job. Mr. Oorley saht that some of the
applicants were "frights." Other*
were beautiful, anil nearly all declared
they had overlooked the word "ugly"
In the advertisement
"We didn't want a 250-pound cash-
ier." said Mr. Oorley. "and we really
didn't care for any with all their teeth
gone. We had several applicants who
filled both descriptions. M} Idea In
advertising for an ugly cashier was to
git one who did hot have such great
personal charm that she would be pro-
posed to by the first unmarried cus-
tomer who happened to Bpy her
"How did I get by with the Impos-
I slble ones? That was easy. One must
i have weighed 250 pound*. I asked her
j if she was sure she could qualify in
the 'ugly' class. She declared she had
not noticed the word 'ugly' In the ad
vertlsement, and 1 assured her she
uas entirely too good looking. That
was easy She went out with a smile
i on her face. Finding it worked In one
i:ase I used that right along."
I know I don't fulfill the require-
ments of ugliness specified In the ad-
j vf rtiheinent." said the first applicant,
with u flirtatious glance at herself in
ihe mirror, "but I assure you I
wouldn't marry the best man living."
A fond mother appeared with her
daughter In tow. The latter was tall
and lank.
"I'm afraid my daughter will not
| suit you," said (he mother, "because
you wanted an ugly girl, but she will
never disappoint you by leaving you
to marry. She Is a confirmed man
i hater."
Price of Dairy Cows.
The great demand for dairy prod
acts has caused the price of good

from ast-oclatlons of dairymen *how
that It I* tmposlhle to buy first c'a.sg
dairy cow* at even J*0 a head With
«i:ch a demand for cows In old dairy
districts, there will be few good cow*
moved Into new dairy territory. So.
the only way new districts can be sup-
plied must be by breeding up the com-
mon stock by the use of good dairy
bred bulla.

German Arrives at New York With
Twelve Bags of Glistening Jewels
—They Were Beads.
New York. Herr E. Hey man. a Ger-
man jeweler, who has Just reached
I New York from Bremen, has the laugh
on several of Collector Loeb's customs
sleuths When Herr Hey man's liner
arrived at its pier he was one of the
first to place himself in the bands of
, the inspectors.
The customs man assigned to in-
spect his belongings suddenly came
uprn a blue bag that could easily hold
two quarts of green peas. The bag
was full of brilliants, and the glare of
the first handful he fished out almost
blinded the customs Inspector.
Diamonds!" he called out in ex-
j citement.
Motioning for assistance more cus-
toms men came tip and put their j
hands in the bag. Then an appraiser,,
hurriedly summoned, took a look at !
i the stones.
Beads! That's all!" he said.
In all about a dozen bags of the gilt-
i* ring brilliants were brought to view.
"Suppose they were diamonds, what
do you think they would be worth?" ?
bystander asked Herr Hcynian.
About $l ,000,000.000.000." he an-
swered.
"Yer Stage money." murmured the
, appraiser.

PET ANGORA CATS GET AWAY
Three Women Marooned at Long
Island Railroad Station Until Pet
Feline Is Captured.
Heliport, U I.—A large pet Angora
cat created quite a furore at the Hell-
port depot. As the 9:52 am New
York express pulled into the station
a party of smartly-dressed women hur !
rit d out of a motor -ar and made a
rush for the train. In the hurry of
departure a large basket, carried by i
one of the women, was dropped, and ,
out of the basket jumped a beautiful
specimen of the Angora cat.
Frightened beyond reason the cat,
made a dive for shelter, and crawled
under the station platform, to the con-
sternation of his mistress and her com
panions. Cries of "Teddy! Teddy!' ;
proved of no avail, and finally one of
the women, dressed in Immaculate >
white duck, went down on her hands j
and knees in an endeavor to coax the j
pet out. Teddy wouldn't budge.
In the meantime the train proceeded ;
on its way. leaving the women behind '
When the train had disappeared well
toward Patchogue Teddy was still oc
