MIR. SAGE ON M1NHATTAN.
The Financier Says the Elevated Is Doing
the Largest Bmsincss in Its HistorY.


Regarding the prospects Of the Manhattan
Elevated Railway Company Russell Sage had
this to say yesterday:
The local transportation situation is con-
tinualy changing. So far as Manhattan Ia
concerned, NAV say that the company Is now
doing tho largest business in It's history at a
lower cost OF operation. One day last week the
road carried iSI,OOU passengers, the largest
in its history with the exception Of one day.
There have recently been several days when
the road carried over 600 900 passengers. The
electrical equipment is proceeding under the
direct supervision OF our own hoard of con-
struCtion.
MIR Gould is inclined to ,hink that there
will be net saving Of 81 ,OOO.OOu a year when
the road Is fully equipped with electricity. As
for myself believe. cOn~erYatively. that there
will be saving Of S75O,OOO annually. The re-
cent decline, in Metropolitan street Hallway

able now Indebtedness created. II may be that
the proposed greater increase Of local cnb and

has had some effect"

PARIS, Dec. 28.-The hearts OF the mo
bile Viennese are ever quick to respond to
the note Of JOY and gayety. The more so
after year of depression and loyal sor-
row over the tragic death of their beloved
Empress. Now the carnival is near, and
with it the time of balls and court festi-
vals, and the dainty blonde head Of many
a Viennese belle is bowed with the weighty
question Of dress. The large variety which
fashion offers at present makes the choice
easy enough, but the question Of cost is
more serious, for the nimsier the material
the greater the success and the higher the
price
Yet when these fairy-like textiles are
built into the clinging shroud and soft dra-
peries which constitute the modern gown,
and are further embellished by the artistic
embroideries or hand painting which offer
such excellent opportunities for the talent
Of the tasty amateur. or are appliqued with
garlands Of weblike lace, they become such
dreams Of beauty that money seems a small
consideration compared with the master
minds and master hands who created them.
Among the many beautiful gOssamers,
liberty brOcade is the latest triumph OF the
manufacturers art. 1t has a velvet or silk
brocaded pattern on the thin plain liberty
silk ground In the rich model Of our IL
lustration it is most effectively fashioned
into the rounded tunic and decollete bod
ice. The foundation Of this costume con-
sists Of white satin Of a very soft and pli-
able quality so as TO conform we'll with the
tight cIinging style OF the skirt with its
deep serpentine iiounce falling into mod
rate train. This founce is covered en-

and proves exceedingly fattering to the
arm.
Another more matronly evening costume
shows a combination OF jet and silver
sBangled black tulle over old rose taffsta.
The undeTskirt of rose-colored taffeta is
cut with seven cores and is covered with
the spangled tulle, which is adjusted TO
the figure by means of deep tucks over
the hips and back The pointed bodice
has a V-shaped decolIete and closes in
front. The black tulle also forms close
tucks over the shoulders and back and
the material is released over the bust and
forms a full drapery which is again con
fined at the termination of the bodice by
a girdle OF silver cloth studded with semi
precious stones and simiI brilliants. The
elbow sleeves GI black tulle are similar
to those Of the first illustration, but the
rolls are replaced by tucks and a fiounce
of the same spangled tulIe forms a finish.
a high stock Of old rose velvet is worn
ard q bouquet Of heather completes this
simple but dainty costume, which lends it
self 10 various other color combinations,
as white and silver, mauye and rose, blue
and white, etc.
There is hardly anything more becoming
to Old or young Or middle-aged than the
fichu drapery. No wonder. therefore, if it
has entered into the field OF dancing
fTCcks One charmngly girlish costume is
Of shimmCring white taffeta with a skirt
tucked over the hips and back and the
decollete Of the simple bodice draped with
the lightest and airiest lchu of white
mousseline point d'esprit with real Va
lenciennes lace. The fichu crosses over
the bust and eucircles the waist with its
soft folds and is finally tied at the back
where the long rulIIed ends form grace
full sash. FELIX FOURNERY.

A War Heroine.

The monument erected by the Daughters
Of the american Revolution TO the memory
Of Rubena Hyde Walworth. whose name
American war, was unveiled on the first
anniversary Of her death, in Greenbridge
Cemetery at Saratoga.
The monument, designed by Mr.. c. r.
Canfeld stands upon a raised terrace at
the head Of the main avenues. When the
American flag. which formed its veil, was
drawn, il revealed an obelisk OF pure white
granite, perfect in its architecture. II is
thirty feet high and seven feet six inches
square at the base. The name and inscrip-
tion are in letters Of bronze. Il is usually
the work of many years to raise fund and
erect a monument to a hero. but scarcely
eight months have elapsed since the Mary
Washington Colonial Chapter, under the
efficient auspices Of Miss Lillian Montgom-
cry. first sent out letters and began 10
make requests for aid in the undertaking.
The Saratoga, the Manhattan, and the
Y0nkers chapters lent their aid.
The requests were quickly responded to.
Miss Helen Gould sent 500 and 500 was
contributed without delay by the Olympia
Club Of small boys, while some of the
poor soldiers who had been nursed by Miss
WalWorth's tender care, unable to do more
sent offerings Of 80 cents.
Miss Walworth is a hero Of the noblest
kind. When the war with Spain broke out
she was teaching painting in a New York
school. Her family, who for generations
had sent son 10 war TO fight for his
country, lad now no son TO send. She
resolved 10 GO TO nurse the soldiers. Aft
eT short preparatory course at the Sara
t0ga Hospital she went to Fort Mon
roe; later 10 Muntauk. where she took en-
tire charge and was the only woman in
the Detention Hospital, place filled with
