Russia ptieseEses G50, 000 nobles wiili ont counting 350,000 whoso titles :uo not hereditary. Among the Russian mo bility thcro are many of foreign oripin. The Russian social code recopuizes fonr categories or estates (sosiovia) that .is to say, nobles, priests, town dweller and peasants. The character of their employment distinguishes these classes from one another. Each is dependent on the czar for all its privileges, ud the emperor has absolute power to chango the condition cf his subjects from a high to a low estate. None cf these classes possesses either a historic al, a political or a social individuality. The Russian aristocracy is deprived of political importance, and it cannot boast of such chivalrous qualities as dis tinguished the French nobles. For the present it lacks sufficient good sense, or education to play any part in public life. Russian aristocrats all desire to be considered as direct descendants of the Boyars, merely because it is pleasant to be such, and thus get a position of so cial superiority. Their ambition goes no higher. I The Boyars, like the feudal western landowners, are the descendants of the men who of old composed the Russian prince's army. The members of the Russian aristocracy have in great part retained their places at court, . so that there can be encountered most of the old historic names. Children of both sexes inherit the titles of their parents. The Russian aristocracy is distinguish ed by overweening pride and haughti ness, and at tho same time there is of ten united to this, in a bizarre contrast, a certain snobbishness. Access to liio circles of high society is very difficult. It is only possible to penetrate into them if well born and well connected. The Russians rarely abandon their titles, be ing too proud of them to quit them eas ily. A marriage between a poor gentle man and a rich stranger, or vice versa, is considered in this country as a shame ful mesalliance, and tho couple would not be received in tho aristocratic salons of the capital. Tolstoi, as well as Prince Maschersky, director of thev newspaper Grajdanine, has given in his novel very exact and graphic descriptions of Rus sian high life. But with all their innate pride tjho Russian great folk have never looked upon work as degrading. Tims, if need be, they will adopt with ease and without rnauvaise honte any offices, any public charges. There is at St. Pe tersburg a prince who serves in the cus tom house, and many nobles and titled men become professors, schoolmasters, even actors. " In a pastry cook shop at Moscow some princesses of high blood serve behind the counter. Others will becomo governesses, companions, house keepers, telegraph clerks in fact, will adopt any employment that may turn up. Leisure Hour. " Goodhart Joke. "Yes, dear," said Mrs. Goodhr.rt as she handed her husband his cup of cof fee across the breakfast table, "Irealize that we simply must economize, and I'm T illing to do my part I've thought of one way of economizing already. " "How i3 that?'-' asked Mr. Goodhart. "Well, 111 tell you.

Hattie Ross, a colored woman who some years ago conducted two disor derly houses in this city, swore that she paid "protection" money to wardmen un der Captain Byrnes, now superintendent of police. Superintendent Byrnes denies the allegations against him. Sergeant Taylor, who on Tuesday last testified that he had turned over to Inspector Steers moneys collected from patrolmen which they had received from steamboat and railroad companies, swore yesterday that Steers had accepted money as bribes to permit the policemen to re main on their respective beats. Policeman Herman Internum swore that he did not testify truthf idly on Tuesday when he said that he had never paid over any of the money given hlin by the Amer ican Steamship line to his superior officers. He had given up half of his extra earnings to Captain Gastlin, and then $25 out of $40 a month to Captain Schmittberger. Captain Allaire, commander of the steam boat squad, denied all knowledge of the collection of money from steamship and railroad lines. Mr. Goff questioned him long and earnestly, but Allaire's entire testimony was a repudiation and denial of all allegations made against him by other witnesses.

A Secret Hearing lias Been in Progxi-s ..." 'or the Past Three Year Mrs. Ureen Areas the Executors of Gross Slanage 1 agetnent. " New Yohk, Dec. 24. Despite her busi ness acumen and the shrewd management of her financial affairs, Mrs. "Hetty" Green, the wealthiest wo n ra In America, is obliged to admit that a. not inconsider able portion of her vast estate is badly en tangled, and that it drifted into its in volved condition utterly unknown to her. There has quietly been going on in tiie Mi' Is building In this city for nearly three years a secret hearing befora a referee ap pointed by tho supreme court in which MKS. 1IETTT GREEN. Mrs. Green seeks to have the executors and trustees of her father's estate account for a trust fund of about $3,030,033 left by him for her benefit. Mrs. Green, through her counsel, Law yer William H. Stayton, of No. 45 Cellar street, alleged that there has b3en gross mismanagement by the execu tore and trustees; tnac, wnerea3 trie law -squires accounts Within eighteen months, twenty- I nine years have elapsed since her father's death, and there is still a large sum of money In the hands of Henry A. Barling, one of the executors, i It Is also alleged that, although the law j allows executors to expend but f 500 Wlth ! out vouchors, and that, moreover, in sep arate sums not exceeding $20 each, it is ad mitted that more than -a hundred thous and dollars has been spent by the execu tors for which they have no vouchers. The testimony has thus far consisted en tirely of statements and admissions made by Henry A. Barling, the only surviving .executor; Edward D. Mandell, a trustee, and thfir accountant, Charles E. Town Bend. "Hetty" Green's father, Edward M. Rob inson, died In June, 1885, leaving a fortune of about $9,000,000, which he had accumu- j dated through ventures in whaling and trading vessels. One million dollars of j this went direct " to his only daughter, "Hetty." The residue was left in trust for her. Mr. Robinson named as trustees Heniy A. Barling, a clerk in his employ; Edward D. Mandell, then the managing clerk in Mr. Robinson's New Bedford (Mass.) ofSee, and A. H. Davis, a clerk in his New York office. They were to pay the income to Mrs. Green, and at her death the principal was to go to her children, she being then about to marry Edward A. Green. The will also named the three sam mea as executors. Mandell did not qualify as executor, notwithstanding the fact that had he done so he would have received ai compensation 1 par cent, of the principal, allowed by law, which would have been $00,003. He was the only wealthy man of the three. At the same time he continued to act as trustee. Neither the executors nor tho trustees were required to give bonds. Davis was put In an insane asylum in 1878. For two or three years, however, the others paid him his commissions. Mrs. Green, learning of this, made a complaint, and Davis resigned as trustee, though still remaining an executor. Davis afterward died. Edward H. Green, the husband of Mr. Green, was put in as trustee in Davis' place. The nominal answering parties, therefore, to Mrs. Green's complaint ara Barling, Mandell and Edward H. Green, though no charges of irregularities are made against the latter. The executors have had on hand since the first accounting a sum which has eometimes been as high as $3,604,000, and which has never fallen balow ' $-532,933. Mrs. Green, as a shrewd busiaess woman, views with amazement the fact that the lncdme-from this amounts to but $331,000, and with consternation the fact that the collection of this income nas cost tiie es tate $421,000. Nearly thirty years after the death of Edward M. Robinson, Henry A. Barling, as surviving executor, admits that tnere is still in his hands $(533,983.49, belonging to the estate, and this, too, when he is not and never has been under bonds. Only testimony bearing on the business transactions of the executors has so far been taken, and is still not finished. There is yet to be taken the testimony relative to the affairs of the trustees. And the ref erence, is costing the estate about $100 for every bearing. Mrs. Green, outside of the income from the fund left in trust for her, is worth about $35,000,000. She has won fame for her shrewd dealings in Wall street, where she has many times demonstrated her ability to cope with the best financiers. She la a little more than 60 years old. Mrs. Green is the embodiment of econ omy in her household affairs. Her ex penses do not exceed $3,000 or $4,000 a year. It is said, however, that for her intimate friends and those whom she knows to be worthy and in need she performs many acts of generosity. Her wealth at her death will go to her son, Edward H. R. Green, and a daughter. ord Randolph's Condition Worse. MABSKILLKS, Deo. 24. Lord Randolph Churchill's condition has become worse sinoahis arrival here. Symptoms of loco motor ataxia have appeared.
