AN ITEM ABOUT RUSSELL SAGE.
Yesterday quite a rumpus was created at
the elevated depot on Park place, where an
elderly man went up and put in his ticket on
the west side, when he really wanted to go
up town. He soon saw his mistake, and
tried to get his ticket out Of the box, but it
had been chopped, and so he could not re-
cover it. He then tried to cross the track.
but was repulsed with great loss Of life by
the chopper. 1t was finally arranged by q
code Of signals between the two ticket Jib-
letters that the man could be permitted to
cross over by going down stairs on the
west side and climbing up on the east side
without again putting up his five cents.
The gentleman was Mr.. Russell Sage, Of this
place.
Almost every day a rosy-faced woman. in
the prime of life, with large, full. prOtube-
rant, translucent eyes and a quick, elastic
step. gets of at Park place and goes to her
Office. She is Mrs. Frank Leslie. Her house
work is done by hired help while she goes
to the Office and works. She earns enough
at the case to keep all the help she needs.
and she says she has not washed dish for
over two years. When she was left a widow
she did not say alas! and present the whole
business to the Probate Court. She simply
turned over the column rules of the paper,
and, hanging her shawl on the copy hook,
set up brief, pUngent editorial. in which
she stated that she had come to stay, or
words to that effect, and at once began to
extend her circulation. So she now finds
herself able to hire much of her drudgery
done by other hands, while she signs checks
in a large trenchant hand.
POINTS ABOUT GOV. HOARD.
Gov. William D. Hoard, OF Wisconsin, was
registered at the Fifth Avenue Hotel not
long ago. He is a great hand for stock. es-
pecially COWS, and has compelled the COW Of
Wisconsin, as one might say, to come out
and take higher ground. honestly think
that Gov. Hoard has done more to ameIiO-
rate the condition of the COW of his own
State than any other man. Gov. Hoard is
a plain man. He and appeared together

Japanese Women.

In Japan the women have taken
kindly and quickly to the foreign meth
DDS of introduction, and prove them
selves faithful and intelligent students.
They show a great deal of ability in
the hospitals and training schools for
nurses, and much quickness in learn
ing, as well as fOndness for whatever
they undertake to study. A Japanese
wOman's education formerly consisted
of a strict and thorough drilling In all
the rules of etiquette, in learning to
play on the kotO and samisen, and In
arranging bouquets; they were also
taught, those Of the upper and middle
classes, to read and write the common
language in the hirakana or simple
running characters, instead Of the
square characters Of the classic Ian
guage. All newspapers, novels and
plays are written in the hirakana, and
In Japan, as we'll as in other countries.
women are great novel readers. There
have been literary women in Japan,
women who have written dramas, po-
ems and novels, as well as those who
read them. The women of Japan hope
eventually to attain position equal in
consideration to that Of American wo-
men. And since the wife Of the
japanese Minister at Washington has
been able to learn the English Ian
guage IN one year so that she speaks
it hUently, It shows what q japanese
woman can do.

CLOTHES do not make the man, as
witness those worn by Mr.. ParneI1.
who is probably as much in the public
eye as any man in Great Britain. Ac-
cording to the testimony of his friend
and colleague in the House of Com
mons, T. P. O'Connor, Mr.. Parnel
has never given much care to his dress.
When he first entered the House he
wore a short shooting-jacket made of
coarse Irish frieze, and carried big
blackthorn stick. He looked like
young and innocent farmer from the
country who had strayed into London,
and who would fall an easy victim to
the first confidence trick man that
tempted him. This era passed away,
and he took to the long frock coat
which nearly every member of Parlia-
ment wears. These coats he has ever
since worn, and nearly always till they
were threadbare even to shininess.
His hats, too, have competed with
those of Mr.. Biggar as to being the
most napless and shapeless in the
House of Commons. Of recent years
this tendency to bad clothes has in
creased, and especially since his III
ness.

Fort Atkinson called Hoard DGjrYmdn. It
frequently refers to man. 1t has large cir
culatiOn, but to one who has never made the
cause Of the COW his own 1t is too subtle for
him. The Governor early gave his atten-
ton to the cow and saw when Young
that she had been made z tool of, as
one might say. That she was not
encouraged to think for herself, and that
her sex seemed to handicap her through
life. He spoke to her words OF
encouragement, and told her that through
the columns Of ais paper he would advance
her interests, and he has. The Governor is
also humOFist. But he does not allow the
two things TO interfere with each other.

A CALIFORNIA philosopher evolves
the theory that the many divorces in
that State are due to the GOODNESS of
the climate and the high price of coal.
In the evening, he says, it is so chilly
that the husband and wife can't sit
down comfortably as they do in the
East, and with coal at $15 ton they
can't afford to use it. So the husband
gets into the habit of going out for
walk in order to keep warm, and the
wife often gets into the same habit.
Divorces soon follow.

GOV. Hin was also on our streets the other
day. he says that crops are generally good
throughout the state and fences in good re-
pair he IS another OF our rising bald
headed men, He is reported to be about to
become engaged to a beautiful young lady
OF our city. Even if this be true, it would
be difficult for me to point her out. He
would make some woman real good hus-
band. His place at Albany is far more
magnificent than the White House, there
being no ants. cockroaches. or deceased

Russell B. Harrison occasionally goes to

Of it at the time.
Mr.. DEPEW IMPROVING RAPIDLY.
Mr. DepeW's leg is again almost sound,
though it bOthers him a little to go down
stairs as rapidly as he could bef ore the in
jury. In this respect he has rather beaten
Mr.. Curtis, who had a similar experience.
Mr.. DepeW comes down to the Office at the
depot in good season and works hard till
the whistle blows. Then he pulls on his
oVerails and goes to the sink, where he
washes his hands. wiping them on some
clean cotton waste. Re then goes home
and eats a hearty meal OF vfctuals. At
night he slides into his swaEOW-tail coat.
puts Sunday paper between his shirt
bosom and his manly ditto, so as to ward
of pneumonia, and goes to some boiled
dinners, where he speaks a few thoughtful
words which the papers greedily print in
their columns the next morning. Mr. De-
pew may be frequently seen in the early
gray Of the morning, showing some prom
inent New Yorker how to get home. He
eats little at these great banQUets, con-
fning himself mostly to the relieves or
the jOwi and greens. but rarely eating
sweet cake or cookies at night. Neither does
he drink much, though often requested to.
He could, at slight cost to himself, if he
wished to do so, continue in a pleasant state
of exhilaration ali the time. but he says no.
even when the wine cup is presented to him
by fair hands. That is why his speeches
read so much better than MFR. Riddleberger's
Of Virginia. This should teach US a valua-
bic lesson. Had Mr.. DepeW, when he first
began to run on the New York Central &
Hudson River Railroad, eaten pie and rich
victuals at night, or taken a brandy and
soda before morning prayers, to-day his
name would have begun with the same let
ter, but it would not have been DepeW.

THE healthiest and the most hopeful
attack upon foreign influence in this
country is that which we find made by
a body of our adopted Irish felIow-cit'-
zens who have resolved that "we pledge
ourselves not to patronize any hotel,
inn, or saloon that deals with any
brewer of the English syndicate, and
thus pays tribute to the British octopus
and encourages the growth of foreign
monopoly on American soil. They
cannot do too much of this. It will
take a form of real self-denial, without
doubt, in many cases; but we trust
they will not be discouraged. Every
blow they deal the British lion in a
beer saloon viii be blessed. If it does
not do a great deal of good by discour-
aging foreign capital in this country,
they may be almost certain that it viii

THE thimbIe had never been in use
in Siam until few years ago, when
the King, noticing that some American
ladies who visited his court used thin
bles, had one made for his Queen. It
was made of gold, in the form of
lotus bud, the lotus being the Siamese
royal floral emblem, and was thiclly
studded with diamonds, so arranged as
to form the Queens name and the date
of her marriage. The presentation was
equal to an order that the ladies Of
Siam should use thimbles, and they
have used them ever since.
