THE RICHEST WOMAN
' Perhaps the distinction of being tho richest woman of America .lies between Mrs. Green. Mrs. Walker, and' Mrs. Sage. Mrs! Sage nas announced , that she-intends to devote her entire fortune, exceeding £12,000,000, for tho benefit of humanity. Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Green havo given little, as far as known by the]world. Mrs. Sage, as everyone knows, inherited her money from her husband, tho celebrated financier, Russell Sage. Mrs. Annie Weightman Walker, both before and after the death of her father, the rich Philadelphia manufacturing chemist, William Weightman, showed admirable qualities as a business woman. Every morning she was at her desk in the office of the big drug manufacturing plant; she attended strictly to business, and it is said that the amalgamation with the firm's chief competitors was effected by her. After tho atnal- ■ gamation Mrs. Walker retired from business, and since thdn has been loading a quiet life. Mrs. Green is said to possess a fortune equalling £12,000,000.
