NEW YORK NOTES.


 mine .Rives. a young sou hern author ess and cousin of Amelia Rives, is suffering at a private sanitarium from general prostration. She broke down from literary labor while at the Wal dorf Monday. 1t is said that her col lapse is largely due to unfaVorable criticism of her recent novel, 'HSmok- ing Flax which deals with the race problem in the south.
 A bill will soon be in reduced at Albany, providing for great fair in this city in 1901. The father of the measure says his purpose is to con- fine the exhibits at the fair to the pro ducts and manufactures of Grea, CT New York.

 The supply of tall office buildings in ihe business section is to pe further increased by the erection of fifteen story structure at the northeast cor ner of Broadway and Reade street. The Hemingway estate of Boston, which owns the property, has com missioned its architect to prepare plans foh this, the first big thing in the building line since New York be- came greater.

The ragged arrivals, who tried to beg food al the barge office, dug up 1900 francs when deportation was menaced.
 A Wall streel expert while discuss ing the Fourth Nationals cut, 6eclar- ed that money rates have absolutely collapsed. Some large loans, he said, are being offered at bottom rates. One Of the large concerns yesterday offer ed $1 100000 at less than per cent on short time loan, and several of fers of money at 11z per cent have also been made. The me cant:le de- mand for money is very fair, but Is far overshadowed by the enormous of ferngs. And Klondyke outfits are selling like hot cakes.
 In a. few weeks the Empire s ate society of the Sons of the American Revolution will present to the cfy government a formal memor:al fer the erection of a suitable structure to mark the site of Fort Washington It was at Fort Washington that the Americans made their last and foI the possession of New York city or November 16, 1776. The place is ab- solutely unmarked by any sign, post or monument to indicate is gnif. canoe. This spot is the highest ground on Manhat al island being 271 feet and fraction above tidewa ter. The Fort Washintgon road which has been opened over tbe tack bone of the Island, is one of the mos picturesque drives of the city, and II connection with the BouleNar1 La fayet,e will soon become one Of tn most beautiful and popular thorough fares for pleasure on the island.
 I walked up Fifth avenue last Tues day fterncon in order to be one o the mob lining up to cheer Pfesldeh Mckinley on his way to the Windsor The beautiful thoroughfare was ful of high and low turnouts and the us ual punches of people were talk n constitutionais, airing their dogs o sizing up the store windows. Bu there wasn't the least sign that any ching unusual was about to occul The mob 1 expected to eneounto wasn't in evidence.
