look it over herself. She was aston
ished and disguised at some of 1t. Be-
fore Mr.. Sage's body was cold in its
coffin she received letter from
New York man whom she never had
seen asking her to send him check
for $1,000 by return mail, and he was
kind enough to inclose stamped en-
velope for reply. She never asked for
advice as to the disposal of this for
tune, yet within the first two months
of her widowhood she received letters
from more than 1000 different men,
instructing her how to give away her
money SO as to do the most good. One
of them, the president of a college,
wrote her that If she would give him
charge of her entire fortune he would
invest 1t 80 that 1t would support his
college forever. And, far from men
tioning the gratitude of his college in
such an event, he told her that she
ought to be thankful and grateful that
she had an opportunity to do such
splendid work.
r. HE letters that really affected Mrs.
i Sage at this time were pathetic
appeals for help from individuals.
Many Of these were to all appearances
genuine, the appeals of poor and ig-
norapt persons. suffering in want and
hardship, and pathetically confident
that the kind-hearted woman who had
more money than she knew what to
n wit tyfu
that would make them happy. Some
of these letters distressed Mrs. Sage
greatly; but they came not only from
evesy state in the union but from for
eign countries. Had she responded to
them she would have dissipated her
entire fortune in small checks to indi-
viduals all over the world. So finally
Mrs. Sage gave up her mail. Now a
letter which is manifestly from per.
sonal friend Is given her, but nothing
else reaches her eye.

Il am glad" said a woman who has

she died. In all the years Of her mar
ried life down at the house at No. SOC
Fifth avenue she had nothing but

horsehair furniture she had when she
was married, such as one saw in coun-
try parlors 40 years ago, and there
were great cracks in the parlor walls
Of the house at Forty-second street
which went for years without fixing.
Mrs. Sage suffered from mortifica-
ton at such things just as much as
any other woman would, and I'm glad
she's able TO have the velvet carpets
for a few years before she dies. But
they came too late to give her much
pleasure. After they had all been put
down and the furniture was in place

the revolution is far from icing

here. the forces of the reyolut !.
lists are much larger than has hith-
erto been stated. and are well
armed.
II seems today that the rebels
have been quietly mobilizing their
forces and have apparently begun
the fight after carefully matured
plans that have given them an Inn
mense handicap over the govern
ment forces. So far the govern
nient troops have been able TO gain
bat temporary advantage over the
revolutionists. who are fighting in
guerrilla fashion and making ter
rifle inroads on the government
troops because OF their superior
knowledge of the topography OF the
