              <text>In this edition of "They Say," Bert Islew informs her readers, among others, &lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;"That Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe is in ill health"&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;"That the son of Jay Gould, who has been visiting Saratoga, was not introduced to any young lady while there, and that he did not seem to pine for their society"&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;"That there were more ladies than gentleman at the reception last Friday evening"&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;"That as a natural consequence some of the ladies did not enjoy that state of affairs, while all the gentlemen were well pleased."&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
