SAGE GIVES $4,000.
Rich New Yorker Aids the Woman's
Hospital

New York, May 22.-Russell Sage has
given $4,000 to the Woman's hospital.
1t was rumored today that Mrs. Russell
Mr.. Sage gave the money yoluntar-
ily,' said Mrs. Sage, and she empha-
sized the voluntarily" L had nothing
to do with it. Mr.. Sage never gets
credit for anything, and many people
doubt his philanthropy; but when he
wants to give he gives. He always has
been interested in the Woman's hospi-
tai, and we are both glad that the new
building is to be erected on the site of
the present hospital. The $50, 900 is
given to the new building fund
Mrs. Sage smiled. You see," she
continued, that Mr.. Evans (referring
to the Rev. Anthony H. Evans, pastor
of the West Presbyterian church, was
wrong. He said it was impossible to
get money from the rich men of his
congregation. I guess if Mr.. Evans had
been more spirituaistic his rich men
would have given more freely. This
$4,000 isn't all Mr.. Sage will give to
the hospital. I know he intends to
give more, though I can not say how
much"
The new building for the Woman's
hospital will be erected at Forty-ninth
street and Lexington avenue, where the
present hospital building is. 1t will cost
$400. 900. Already $500, 900 has been sub

WOMEN AND THE WHEEL.
Not Detrimental to Good Morals
Says High New York Authority.

New York, May 22.-Chief of Police
Devery does not agree with Capt. Luke
Colleran, chief of Chicago's detective
department, in the latter's assertion
that the adoption of the bicycle by
women is detrimental to the advance
ment of morality. After reading Capt
Colleran's letter criticising bicycling
Chief Devery said:
Il do not agree with the criticisms
of Chicago's detective chief. There is
no law, of course, to prevent immoral
women riding wheels, and we have
never made any particular crusade
against them, but most of the women
are respectable, well behaved people
who are in search of better health and
strength. You will find immoral people
everywhere, but I am sure the bicycle
has had no bad effect on the morals of
the community
Mrs. Elizabeth Grannis said: 'Non-
sense. You will find moral and i'm
moral women in every pursuit. Teas
can result in immortality just as well as
bicycling. You may walk down by DR..
Parkhurst's church or walk in Ora
mercy square any night and see rough
girls on wheels. Far from resulting in
immortality, where would these girls be
if they were not in the open street?
Surely to be in the open light is far
better than to be in secret places. What
is true of New York applies to Chi
caPO."

FELL AMONG CROCODILEs.
Thrilling Adventure of New York

New York, May 22.-Margaret Quinn, a

Saturday night in a thrilling spectacle at

of the show is a glass tank IA feet high
and % feet square, combining the attrac-
lions of dozen man-eating crOcodlleS ana

TO RELOCATE SILVER.
Some Other Question to Be Made the
Issue in the Coming Campaign.

Washington, May Pat is becoming
apparent to politicians here that free
silver will not be a prominent plank in
the next Democratic platform. The
party will not forsake the doctrine, but
will make it a secondary issue, giving
prominence as the principal issue to OPP
position to trusts or anti-imperialism,
according to circumstances. 1t is point
ed out that it will be absurd for the
Democrats to go before the country at
the next presidential election with free
silver as the main issue. Should their
candidate be elected on such a platform
he would be helpless to influence free
silver legislation, for the reason that
the senate for the next six years is
overwhelmingly in favor of a gold
standard
Should the situation in the Philip
pines and Porto Rico warrant, anti-im-
perialism will be the battle cry, with
free silver and opposition to the trusts
as running mates to keep the silver
men and Populists in line. It is said
that a contest such issue would
be pleasing to the Democratic leaders,
for the reason that with free silver in
the background they may increase their
campaign funds. Andrew Carnegie and
other wealthy opponents of the present
foreign policy of the administration
would be liberal contributors to an anti
imperialistic platform.

Funny Mishap of a Fireman Who
Tried to Do His Duty.

New York, May 22.-Brave and fear
less are the firemen of New York. Their
first efforts are directed toward saving
life, and after that, property. But there
was an amusing instance yesterday
when property was saved when it was
thought to be a life.
John Balmford had a big stable at
No. 1914 Amsterdam avenue. 1t was
filled with horses when flames were dis
covered issuing from the building. The
firemen were soon at the scene. Into
the building they rushed, and thirty
horses were driven out. All were sup
of the firemen, in a rift in the clouds
of smoke, discovered a beautiful iron
gray standing there, stately, in full
harness, and apparently unconcerned.
At him the fireman went, seized the
bride and tugged and shouted in his
efforts to make the animal move. But
he only stood there and stared out of
CLASSY eyes. Then the fireman secured
a blanket, which he threw over the
horses head, having decided to try that
we'll known remedy to make the animal
move. But still it stood and stared.
Bring in a line of hose" the fireman
yelled above the din, this horse won't
bulge" The flames in the immediate
vicinity were drowned out, and then, in
a light flash that broke through the

orable term in front of a harness
makers establishment, and was then
relegated to the stable to be out of the
way.
The fireman who tried to get it to
walk out will spend his months salary
for cigars for his companions.
