Russell sage's Money.
New York World.


Russell Sage used to keep grocery store
in Troy. The molasses got cold and ran
slowly in January in his store the same as
other grocery stores. He was always
thrifty His surplus funds he invested in
bank, of which he became director, and
that really marked the beginning of his
financial career. Next he bought rail-
road, which he sold to Commodore Van
derbilt ut handsome profit. Finally he
came to New York and began business as
a money-lender. He and Mr.. Gould be-
came associated through the latter seeking
him to borrow money. Mr.. Sage now has
more ready money than any individual in
Wall street. He could supply demand
at any time for $4,000, GOO He has never
been Spectator in stocks to any
extent, as speculation is generally under
stood. but in one way he has. In his time.
he sold more puts" "calls" and other
"options" on stocks, perhaps, than all the
other dealers in privileges combined Dur
ing the past two or three years Mr. Sage
has practically abandoned the privilege
business and has devoted himself almost
entirely to lending money. Although ex-
acting, Mr.. Sage does business on business
principles, and contract with him is as
good as gold. Few men care as little for
the follies of the world. His only diver
sion is driving There are some very valu-
able animals in his stable and almost every
bright afternoon he may be seen speeding
through Central park.

sLUICING THE SAND.
Railroad Along Columbia Takes New
Method Of Clearing Its Tracks.

PORTLAND, Dec. 2s.-[Special. Sand
storms along the upper Columbia have
long been great source Of annoyance and
expense TO the company operating the
railroad through that section, trains FREE
quentiy being delayed a day or more at
time from sand blown on the track. Here
tofore no systematic effort has been made
to get rid of the sand. A large gang OF
Chinese has been employed for years at an
expense OF about $4,000 per year simply
to shovel the sand off the track and pile 1t
up on the other side in the most conven-
lent place for being blown on again. In
some places the sand is eighteen To twenty
feet high on each side of the track, the
accumulation OF years, and much OF 1t has
been shoveled over hundreds of times.
The present management has adopted a
scheme for the removal of the sand by
sluicing it into the river by means of water
supplied by force pump at the river,
near which the road for q long distance
runs. The scheme bids fair to prove a
great success, as with comparatively
small pump the sand il washed into the
river tor cents per cubic yard, and
larger pump is being sent 70 the front, by
which II is expected the sand can be moved
for cents yard. The sand once IN the
river is almost permanently disposed OF,
as it will take years in many places for
enough TO accumulate again to cause
trouble

comes the nearest to a solid investment
Sullivan has ever made. His custom has
been to spend his money as fast as he got
it. On his present trip, however, he
is sailing away over 81 900 each week.
Harrison, Lumley and Barnett have
q share of his earnings, and it is
probable that the big fellow will have
snug little amount saved up before the
close of his present theatrical tour-that
is, if he does not have streak of reckless
prodigality and give the dollars away to
every Tom, Dick and Harry who asks for
them. Sullivan has grown enormous OF
late. He fought Kilrain July s, 1889, at
210 pounds. Now he weighs $50. His
shoulders, back and chest are something
tremendous. He stands 5 feet 104 inches
in height, and is in his SD year. There is
little doubt that Sullivan will hight the
winner of the Slavin-Jackson contest If
those two gladiators ever come together.
Sullivan is anxious to engage in at least
one more nnish battle before retiring per-
manently from the prize ring

RAILWAY PRESIDENTS HARmoNIzE


ADOPT the new agreement
NEW York, Dec. 2s.--The Journal Of
Finance says: The date for the meeting OF
railway presidents to complete the organi-
cation of the new association has been
changed from January TO January b, and
the place OF meeting also is changed from
Chicago to the Windsor hotel New York

the executive committee in response to
President Mills, who telegraphed asking
II it would be convenient to hold the meet
ing at Chicago January O. 1t was found
that quite a number of railway presidents,
some Of them representing the larg-
est lines in the country, could
not conveniently attend the meeting
on that date. and in that city. As re-
suit this conference was held Friday be-
tween some of the largest interests in
volved, and kilograms were sent out asking
II January 8 and the Windsor hotel, in
this city. would be convenient time and
place for the meeting Saturday. Re-
ponses were received asserting to the
.hoice, and the call will be issued tomor-
gow by Mr.. Miller, naming the changed

lmously adopted, and be put in force at the
earliest practicable day.

Inauguration of the single Tar.

Interview with Thomas q. Shearman.
"How do you expect the single tax viii
be inaugurated?"
Il think it will come through an income
tax. That is the way it looks to me now.
The Republicans, by the removal of duties
from sugar, tea and coffee, and by the in
crease of pensions, have made a tariff i'm
possible. The amount required for pen
sions is so great that the revenue being re-
duced by the Withdrawal of duties on
sugar means that there will be a great de-
felt which viii have to be met. 1t will
not be possible to reimpose the sugar
duties, nor is the abolition of the pension
system possible. Not more than one-third
of the Democratic congressman would vote
for that. The income tax will be the next
step, and the imposition of the burden
upon the people direct viii bring about the
single tax. Ii will be tried nrst locally and
in some of the Western states-possibly
Kansas-where the users of the land are in
the main not owners"

there is quorum, counting senators on
