Mrs. Hetty Green, the richeet woman in the world, announces through The Evening World that she has “not yet given her consent” to the marriage of | her daughter, Sylvia, to Matthew Astor | Wika, the wealthy Canadian whose rel- atives sent out an announcement of the engagement from Galt.

Mrs, Green as she grows alder does rot acquire vantty of personal adorn- ment. When she left her home in Bloomfield street, near Fourteenth street, Hoboken, to-day her rusty black skirts were bedraggled with mud. Her hat flopped wearily over one ear. When & reporter approached her, she drew away and looked as though she was going to call a policeman. When Mrs. Green reached this side of the river she went at once to the Na- tional Park Bank, She was greeted there with much consideration and es- corted to the door of the safety deposit vaults, Into which she d{sappeared. In Office With Mr. Fish. In a few minutes her secretary, Mr. Phelps, an employee of the Chemical National Bank, joined her. They re. mained in the safety deposit rooms about a quarter of an hour, Mrs, Green then entered the bank elevator and went up to the fourth floor, where there Is a suite of offices bearing the name “Stuyvesant Fish" on the door, She entered and walked to a partl- tioned-off office at the opposite end of the office from that in which Mr. Fish had his desk. She pulled open a desk here, sat down and busied herself with papers. She still declined to be inter. viewed. After opening her mail and going over documents with Mr. Phelps, Mrs. Green left the Park Bank and went to the offices of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company at No. 176 Broadway, On the threshold of this building she decided that she had something to say about ‘her daughter's reported engagement. “That engagement of my daughter, Sylvia, to Mr. Wilks," she sald. ‘I have not yet given my consent to It.

Amid a fustiinde of revolver shots from one of the robbers, the other forced the mall clerk to open the door of his car. The second robler then coolly searched every piece of registered mali In the car, threw the packages he de- sired into a sack and jumped off. At the points of revolver the engi- neer, fireman, baggageman and mall clerks were marched up the track a distance, then told to get back to thelr train, The robbers then disappeared with thelr booty, Got Rych Plunder, How much they secured is not known but it Is belleved to amount to several thousand, dollars, That they were thor- oughly familiar with the railway post- office business seems evident, as the robbers in the mail car threw askle package after package after examining them carefully. Armed forces of deputies and squads of regular soldiers from Fort Logan and police are searching the country around Fort Logan and the foothills in search of the two bandits, but no trace of them has been found, A careful search is also being made in Denver, as the rob- | bery was only eight iniles distant from and the robbers) the heart of the city, may have made their way here. ‘The train, which was several hours behind time, was running at a speed of nearly forty miles an hour when suddenly Engineer Gunn heard a voice behind him.
