YOUNG SAGE IN TROUBLE. I
Had Hilarious But Disastrous Time
With Another Yale Student and
Two Girls, ~,

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 25.--A police
man found Miss May Wilson lying on
the floor of livery Office at No. 81 Broad
way, apparently in great distress, at 4
n. III. today. With her were Henry r.
Bond, Jr. and Henry w. Sage, Yale
students. The young woman was taken
the Yale medical department, who had
been summoned He said she was suf-
fering from the effects of some drug.
Mr.. Sage, who is said to be nephew
of Russell Sage, accompanied by a po-
liceman, went with the young woman
to the hospital, while Mr.. Bond, with
another officer, went to the station house
to explain. He said that he and Sage
had driven to Centreville on Wednesday
evening with Miss Wilson and Miss An
ME True and had had n hilarious time,
small hours of the morning, they left Miss
True at her home on Olive street and
were taking Miss Wilson home, when she
became i'll.
At the hospital Miss Wilson, whose
condition for a time was critical, said
that she had taken n dose of phenace-
tine for headache, and this, combined
with the wine, had caused her illness.
She made no accusation against either
of the young men, and at 5 p. m. left the
hospital.
Sage and other Yale students spent
large sums of money trying to suppress
the story. An offer of $1,000 was made
to one afternoon paper not to use 1t. 1t
was refused. The students then APP
pealed to the directors and the presses
were stopped and the Objectionable arti-
Gle was killed. A few copies of the
paper that had already been placed on
sale were bought from the newsboys Mt
81 a copy.
The students as body are much stirred
up over the matter. Coming SO soon
after the recent condemnation Of Yale by
Mrs. Poteat, they feel that the credit Of
the university Is at stake.

INTERESTING ANNUAL. REPORT
OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE
MINTS SUBMITTED.
POSTMASTER GENERALS REPOQT.
1t Shows Deficiency for the Year of
$4,000, ,000-Favors An Extension
of Silver Service Rules-Oth-
er Items.

washington, NOV, Z1.-I0StmaStcr
General Wilson has made his first an
nual report to the president. The re-
ceipts of the postofice department for the
year ending June 80, 1895, were SIG, III
900, and the expenditures $50, ,790,172.
1t is grtifying, says the report, that
large portion of the deficiency occurred in
the first quarter of the year, and that
revenues are increasing with returning
prosperity.
Mr.. Wilson estimates the revenue for
the year ending June 30, 1897, at $780,
793, ,120 and the expenditures at $94,S17,-
800, the difference to be made up by CON
gressional appropriation. Speaking of
the deficiency, Mr.. Wilson says:
1T should be remembered that the free
business done by this department for
other branches of the government, if paid
for at regular rates, would more than
wipe out its deficiencies"
The postmaster general refers to the
free delivery service and says:
II believe it is good policy for congress
and for this department to foster the eX-
tension of this service by judicious ap-
preparations and judicious administra-
ton.
The vigorous and effective system of
my predecessor seems TO have produced
ut least an honest administration of the
eight hour law and made letter carrier
furnish trip time reports actual and
truthful records of service
He concurs in the recommendation of
the first assistant postmaster general for
mr. n nf a
Mr. Wilson retierates the necessity for
legislation to punish train wrecking and
obstruction to mails, urged by his predc-
cessor, and recommends legislation all-
thorizing the use of private postal cars.
Concerning the abuses of second-class
mail matter, Mr.. Wilson says:
II can add little to the reason given by
eXPostmaster Generals Bissell and
Wanamaker for amendments to the law
as to second-class matter imperatively
needed to save the postal service from
the enormous abuses and consequent loss
to revenues which no regulation of the
department of watchfulness on the part
of the officials can guard against.
II respectfully and earnestly recon-
| mend to congress Il careful scrutiny into
| this abused and such remedial legislation
as shall be deemed necessary and effec-

JAPAN'S INDEMNITY.

Little Japan is going to spread herself in the naval line She has recently made an appropriation of $200. 900 to be ex- pended in warships four ironclads, ten coast defenders and fifty torpedo boats She Is flushed with her victory, and that indemnity burns her pocket. Warships are good things to have some times, and some times they come perilously near putting the nation that owns them into hole. Perhaps Japan, feeling the im- portance attached to being the conquerer of big country like China, pines for other laurels. There is no telling what she may do when she gets her sixty-four fjoaters. It may be she will put chip on her shoulder and dare the nations to knock 1t off. There has been too much peace of late, and the present situation affords pretty chance for squabble Look out for littel Jap's chip.

INDUSTRIAL.

While much has been said of iron mak- ing plants and other industries in and
 around Birmingham one very important industry has been overlooked. The in- dustry referred to is that of brick mak- ing.
 An Age-Herald reporter in converse
 ton with one of the leading brick man. ufacturers of the state and whose plants are situated on the outskirts of the city, learned that the demand for brick at this time Is unprecedented and in fact larger than the supply. He further stated that during the present year he has had two yards in active operation and has up to the present time turned out 100000 bricks, equal to 150 ear loads. He has put another yard in operation and will, ere the year has ended, have added to the above another 75Q.000 bricks or sev- enty-five car loads, making a grand to- tai of 2,250,000 bricks, or 225 car loads.
