New York. April 9.-Owing 70 the prac-
teal discontinuance of a regular steam

Russell Sage's Charity,

New York. April 9.-Russen Sage has
bought for $22,275 a plot of ground In
West Ninety-third Street, facing Central
Park and adjoining the site of the new
WOmans Hospital Mrs. Sage is much
interested in the new hospital. Her hus-
bands purchase added to the ground al
ready bought for 1885,. 275 would render the
site symmetrical. A reporter asked Mr..
Sage in his office today in what relation
these facts should be understood. He said:
well. the report of the purchase is
substantially correct. I have the great
est sympathy for the Womans Hospital.
1t is doing n fine work i'm restoring the
health of women and sending them home
to their husbands and friends. l would
help it in any way l could"
why did you buy the plot?''
Some days ago Miss Haywood who
owns the property, wrote to me, saying
that she would probably be
turned out of her house on fore
closure proceedings and lose her
home. You see," and the millionaire
smiled in kindly fashion. "she conducts a
little school there. BY purchasing the
plot | kill two birds with one stone She
can stay in her house till the hospital
directors decide whether to build on the
plot or not. meeting of the directors
will be called Immediately to decide on
that matter
did you buy the plot to give to the
hospital?" Mr.. Sage deliberated at this
direct question
We'll, it will always be there If they
want to build. don't know whether they
want to build or not but the plot will
improve tho property very much"
Whether Mr.. Sage intends charity or
a real estate corner, he was very anxious
to acquire the plot. He bought It at auc-
ton yesterday. and saw a dozen S5DG
raises and went them $500 better without
an instant's hesitation.

Proved himself GniIfr

tfrom the Atlanta Constltution.)
A Georgia negro was once convicted of
murder in a novel and unexpected
manner.
A friend of his had been found dead in
the woods with his right arm chopped off
by an AK. the dismembered arm not be-
ing found with the body. He was exon
Grated by a coroner's jury; but some
young men in the neighborhood, knowing
certain superstitions of his, visited his
house late one night and called his name
in hollow tones:
"Ephraim. Ephraim, Rise en- heah de
deadv'
'Who dat?" called weak and quaver-
ing voice from within.
DE sperrit er Benjamin. said the
voice without 81 come ter ak you whar'

That answer settled the question of his
guilt.

CUMMINGS A WITNESS.
The Congressman Appears i'm "a Con-
tested VIII Case.

New York. April 9-Congressman Amos
]. Cummings was a witness in the or
phans' court. in Newark. y. J.. yester-
day. I'm the contest of the will of the
late EZekiah {. Ball of IrvingtOn When
Ball died a year ago he left his entire
estate TO George Wolley. a young man
who had lived with him. Mrs Cum
mngs, who was niece of the deceased,
contested the will on the ground that her
uncle was unduly influenced. and not of
testamentary capacity when the docu-
ment was executed.
The congressman testified that. with
Ball. he had visited Florida several times
between 1850 and 1899. and related pecul-
lar things which he alleged Ball did
during these visits. On one occasion
Ball left the hotel where they were stop
ping. and had a hut built in the woods
for his use; and at another time he
carved his name on the tombstone over
a Union soldiers grave. This closed
the testimony. and next Thursday was
fixed for hearing argument.

AGectations of the Alleged Murderer
of Bank President Lands.

Lancaster. April 9.-Ralph w. Wire
back, the alleged murderer of Bank
President Lands. is now confined in the
county jail. Since his incarceration he
has done little but eat and sleep. In con-
versation with the prison officials he de-
MED that he committed the deed and by
his language and manner he is endeavOr-
ing to crerate the impression that he is
insane. He had no claim whatever on
MIR. Lands and the latter. as an induce
ment TO his tenant to vacate the prem
ises. even offered to give another of his
houses. rent free for one month In ex-
amining the garnet, from whence Wire
back held the officers at bay for several
hours. twenty-one loaded shells for his
gun are said TO have been found and the
prisoner would probably not have sur
rendered when he did. but for the fact
that he was unable to extract from the
weapon the shell that was used in the
alleged killing Of his landlord. Remnants
of his breakfast and a lot of food were
also found in this arsenal.
DIR. s. I. Davis, a prominent physician
of this city. examined Wireback this af-
ternoon and pronounced him to be in
normal condition.

LEES FAMILY UNEASY.
Have Heard Nothing Direct From the
Consul General for Three Days.

Richmond, Va, April 9.-Consul General
Fitzhugh Lees family here are growing
uneasy about Gen. Lee as nothing has
been heard by them for three days, while
up to recently a daily cablegram of re-
assurance of his good health and spirits
has been received.
Gen. Lees son, Fitzhugh Lee, jr.. thinks
his father will probably leave Havana
today for Washington. He thinks it is
possible his father may be put in COM
mand of United States troops in case of
war, unless the National Government
finds more use for him at Washington.
Mr.. Lee says he does not think the con-
sui general will stop over at Key West
unless detained there for a military rea-
sons by the President, upon recommended
ton of the War Department.

There is a false note in what we hear
and read of the surrender Of Congress

without recognition Of either Cuban in
dependence or belIigerency. and with
out basing that proposed action upon
the Maine massacre as the true casus
beili

ma and McCook has been submitted TO,
the people will hold Congress response
ble for the inevitable results Of nation

Nided for in advance.
once more we admonish the senators
and representatives that it would be
.cowardly and inhuman to invade cuba,
leaving the gallant patriot army under
Gomez and Garcia in the assumed po-
sition of Spanish subjects and, hence,
of enemies, Give them at least the just
right of beIligerency. which has been
UNANIMOUSLY withheld from them for
three long years for the benefit Of the
Spanish bond sharks. If we are to
! have war in any serious sense, and it
ought to be that or nothing we want
the friendship and cooperation of the
Cuban patriots in our land operations.
The American people demand that they
be not robbed of a share in the expul-
sion OF Spain from Cuba, for which
they have battled so bravely and all
but accomplished not only without aid
from the American Government but in
spite of its active opposition.
We warn Congress that the PROPOSE
ton for intervention only on humani-
tartan grounds and ignoring our just
cause of war, which is the destruction
of the Maine, is neither periodically
nor frankly what its authors pretend it
to be in fact or intention. The un-

torious that any other nation would.
then We have a ground Of action with
which no neutral European power could
or would interfere. On the contrary. if
We undertake Intervention for human
itys sake at this late day, Senator Nor
gan, Senator Davis, Mr.. Hit and every
other international lawyer in Congress
knows that we open the door for the
Intervention of all governments whose
citizens or subjects have commercial
or property interests in Cuba. Beyond
that, we settle the fate of the stricken
country in advance, and pronounce
judgment in advance against the pa
triotic government and people, in the
sum total OF the Spanish debt; all for
the behoof and benefit Of the Spanish
bond sharks of London, Paris, Berlin
and New York
We are perfectly aware that much
of this may be covered up in the smoke
and flame of an Executive message
which shall depict the horrors of Span

scream with the eagle, and flap with the
