Miss Dolly turned on him.
"And why should it mean so much

GEO GOULD AND SAGE BREAk

1 Veteran Flnancier Can no Longer De-
lay Progress and Must Content finn
self Simply as a Money Lender.
New York, July 1.-THE general
understanding on Wall street is that
the Gould-Sage combine has been
broken and that George Gould has
entered alliance with the Vanderbilts
particularly in regard to the Manhst-
tan Elevated Railroad in which Sage
10 said to be no longer even consi-
dered factor. When Mr.. Sage was
questioned regarding this report he
said:
Il refuse to discuss that question.
shall not deny it. I shall not af-
firm it.
In 1866 the Missouri Pacific Rail
way issued S5,000,0O0 in bonds for
construction purposes Prior to the
bend issue the construction work OF
the road had been done by a con
struction company controlled jointly
by Sage and Jay Gould. But
through the influence of George
Gould the new contract was let to
another company
Mr. Sage charged that 800 miles
Of road had been paid for at the rate
Of $4,000 a mile when it should
have cost but $4,000 a mile. The
aged fnaucier insisted that the
Gould estate restore him So, 900, 900
on account of this overpay.
George Gould has steadfastly re-
fused and Mr.. Sage has been SO tied
up with the Gould estate in other in
vestments that he has never been in
apos,tion to legally insist upon a
settlement.
When George Gould began to talk
Of equipping the IL" read with
electricity, Mr.. Sage opposed these
improvements. The directors heard
him but needed not.
Sage is at last locked up with the
hundred millions and at length must
know himself that he is what Wall
street has always called him-simply
the great money lender.

The Bookkeeper's Mistake.

The bookkeeper sat behind his
little sliding window coyertly watch
ing Miss Dolly over the top of his
ledger. She was leaning rather de-
jectedly over her typewriter, her
head on her hand and her eyes
gszing wistfully through the window
The bookkeper was not yet 40,
but care and hard work had brought
q little gray into his hair, and his
youth seemed very far away.
Presently he opened the door Of
his cage.
Miss Dolly, you may as we'll 60
now. You don't look well, and Mr..
Sperry will not be back this even
ing"
"Oh, thank you" she said, and
closed up her typewriter and put on
her hat.
When she had gone the book
keeper sat for long time thinking
hard. He was meditating a plan OF
attack, for Miss Dolly was too nice a
girl to waste her affections. The
bookkeeper had fallen into the habit
of walking home with her in the
evening, their roads lying together,
and he knew what a sweet, loveable,
womanly nature she had. The ship
ping clerk must be made to realize
this. He must have his eyes open.

In his corner that young gentle
man scratched away, blissfully IN
conscious of the schemes darkening
over his blonde head. He looked
up when the bookkeeper came over
and sat down by his desk.
II think Miss Dolly is a very
sweet girl, don't you, Wells!7 said
the bookkeeper.

the shipping clerk
"Oh, no, no. Nothing like that
for me. She didn't look well this
afternoon aud was thinking of her,
that's all.
The shipping clerk had his suspi-
clons, however, and Miss Dolly
acquired a new interest for him. He
talked to her whenever be could get
a chance, aud found her rather dig
niRed and reserved, which only
made him more esger to draw her

Spain Wants Her Ships.

Washington, July IAN offer
from a prominent firm of ship brok.
ers, doing large foreign business,
to purchase the Riena Mercedes and
any and all of the war craft captured
during the late war, has aroused a
suspicion that Spain is trying in this
indirect manner to obtain possession
of the vessels and thus remove the
offense to Spanish pride caused by
the floating of the American flag
over her ships. The offer mentioned
no figures, but simply requested that
the Navy Department name its price
for the Mercedes and the rest of the
captured Spanish ships. The Navy
Department will not sell any of these
vessels and that answer will be re-
turned to the writer of the letter.
Secretary Long has decided that
it will not pay to attempt to renOvate
the Mercedes and use her as a war
ship. The cost would be half a mil
lion of dollars, and the ship would
when repaired, be of old type and
net up to the requirements of q
modern naval ship. The Mercedes will
be left as a show ship like the old
Constitution, to crafty the patriot.
