The secretary of the treasury has made
ruling that where vessel has been con.
dennned IN state court, in an action in rem,
and sod under the judgment, if the vendee
presents proper bill of sale under sec. 4l93
Revised Statutes, the collector should not
decline to issue marine papers on such bill
OF sale because, in his opinion, the state
court has taken admiralty jurisdiction in
case which could only be brought in district
court of the United States.

RUSSELL SAGE,

Russell Sage, the veteran Wall street
millionaire and operator, il about TO re-
tire. de Is seventy-four years old, and
the strain of his losses during the late
financial furry has shattered his health
and crushed his soul.
de was the leading seller of Puts
and Calls" or stock privileges. and his
name has for years been a synonyu, for
financial strength. He will be much
missed IN the street, but only by those
who have had business relations with
hit1, for he was greedy. grasping and
selfish.
His start in financial life was made
many years ago, before railway manage
ment became a science. and when the
line oetwee n Albany and Buffalo was a
system OF short roads, each under sepa-
rate management. Russell Sage, then a
ret III grocer In Troy, managed in some
way to unity this system, and made a
great deal OF money.
he IL tallish, spare man, and might
from his appearance be taken either for
a clergyman or a well-to-do boss car
penter. He is a born economist and
money grubber.
The writer has often seen him making
his midday lunch OF a coarse dry sasd-
wlch which cost him but nickel. rather
than afford the expense of something
more palatable and nutritious at Del
m0nlco's lunch counter, around the cor
uer in Broad street.
Eight or ten years ago be was a lsrge
owner Of Northwestern stock and
director IN the COMPANY. Its Offices
were then in Exchange Place, near Viii
liam street, and to save rent Mr.. Sage
occupied small, dingy room belonging
TO and adjoining them, where he trans
acted his own vast business.
When he furnished this room he was
absent for some time, and, returning,
Was accompanied by some cartmen who
were Juggling ia a second hand desk, ta-
ble and ch ,ir.
There" said he to several people
who were waiting to see him, among
whom was the writer, "what do You
think paid for those?"
In reply, some one named q pretty
liberal sum.
No. reioined the thrifty old mil
lionaire; Il got them all for fifteen

Russ III Sage has founded no hospitals
and will leave no monuments behind

Rret will be, probably, that there is no

There is nothing succeeds like suo-

quartz mill, IL he runs il we'll and gives
satisfaction he Is bound to win. Two
years ago Captain Scott put the little
steamer Fleetwood on the river between
Portland and Astoria. and Immediately
secured liberal patronage from the
travelling public on the lever Columbia,
who appreciated fast time. He run his
boat in the interest of U. B. Scott. pri-
marily, but in such an accommodating
way that every one felt that il Was a
convenience, and the success of the en-
terprise has been unparalleled. Last
year the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company put on the Wide West, and
again this season, running the same
days rs the Fleetwood. aud giving As
torians the best river service of any
community in the Northwest. That
company has been enterprising iu all
It's dealings with this community, and
Astoria appreciates il /; but it is not for
gotten that the Fleetwood runs right
along. summer and winter, seaside or
no seaside, and whether il be January
or July, gives a man chance to go to
Portland, transact his business and re-
turn the next day.
And now Captain SCOTT and his con
freres design building new boat,
which they propose will outrun anv
craft ON the Columbia and make the
ITO miles between here and Portland in
five hours. The plans show that she is
built for speed. She will be l70 feet in
length, q feet beam, and is calculated
TO draw only 3Ia feet. She will be a
stern wheeler her wheel will be "a feet
in diameter the Larline's il l9), and it
is intended that the wheel shall make 30
revolutions a minute. The boilers will
have $50 tubes, the intention being to
make steam rapidly. The engine will
have two pinch cylinders, and an g.
foot stroke. The main hall will be 1l9
feet in length there will be twenty fine
ly fitted staterooms, and the building
and appointments of the vessel are in
tended to be first class in every respect.
The contract was signed yesterday for
the building of the entire vessel. Her
hull will be built at East Portland the
Willamette Iron Works will build her
machinery, and it is calculated that On
December LIST she will make her first
trip from Portland to Aetoria. The
estimated cost of the vessel is $35, 900.

The Rosary of My Years.

Some reckon their ago byyeaN,
Some measure their life by art
But come tell their days by the How of
their tears
Aud their life by tho means Of their
heart.
Tho dals of earth may show
The length, not tho depth of yearsi
Few or many they come few or many
they go;
Ilut our tiino is best measured By
tears.
All not by tho silver gray
That croeps through the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes that VIC pass on
our way
And not by tho burrows tho finger of
caro-
On forehead and face have made
Not so do we count our years;
Not by the sun of the earth-but the
shade
of our souls-and the fall OF our tears.
For the young are oittimes old,
Though their brow be bright and fair
Whilo their blood beats warm their
hearts lie cold
Der them tho springtimc, but winter
is there
And the old arc Outlines young,
When their hair is thin and white
And they sing in age us in youth they
Gang,
And they laugh, for their cross was
light.
But bead by bond toll
Tho rosary of my years
From cross to crown they lead-'tis
well
And they're blessed with blessing oil
tears.
Better day of strife
Than century of sleep
Give me instead of Il long dream of life
The tempest and toars of tho deep.
A thousand Joys may foam
On the pillows of all tho years
But never the foam brings tho bravt
bark home
1t reaches tho haven through tears.
