Isle, her commanding hight makes one
think OF Tennyson's lines describing the
barge and its occupants Of tall fair women
who bore King Arthur away to the happy
isles where he will one day heal his wounds.
But this busy wife of the Kentucky senator
and ex-speaker Is not poet
ical, but highly practical. Even
when her hair was not tinged with
gray, as it is now, and her form was
slender, she knew how to assist her hus-
band in his work. Her bright eyes, the de-
cision Of character in her intellectual. look
ing face and her quick physical movements,
all indicate woman well equipped TO cope
with almost any emergency. When Mr..
Carlisle married years ago he was young
lawyer, noted more for his logical oratons
than his energy. His wife is credited with
squirting him on and never losing an op-
portunity to assist him to advance politi-
cally. IL the senator is Ill his wife takes
hold and keeps mis- correspondence up. And
as to the tariff, she is almost as well posted
as her husband. She knows what is going
on in the political world, and is close
reader Of the daily papers.
There ID nothing dictatorial in her char
acter; it is strong will force and determine
ton. One could tell by her transformations
manner of dressing that she did not aspire
to be a social leader. But those who know
her say that she hopes to see her husband
President of these United States one day
She is continually working to that end
How much she has done to help her hus-
band only few intimate friends know. Her
life has been one of mixed sorrow and iov
She has been her husbands guardian angel

ONE EDITOR WHO IS NOT JEALOUS,

The world goes very well these days with
Richard Harding Davis, associate editor of
Hdrper'S Weekly. Davis is a big man in
more ways than one. He is OF powerful
physique and is broad mentally Just after
his appointment on the Weekly, the editor
OF weekly contemporary printed para
graph which said in substance that Davis
was not writer, but owed his appointment
to the backing of friends. and not to his
own merit. The article concluded by say
ing that there was employed man on am
other paper who was head aud shoulders
above Davis as a writer
Some people would have got angry at
this, but Davis did not. He put on his coat
and hat and Immediately visited the editor
in whose paper the paragraph was printed.
VI didn't know whether he had come to
lick me or not" said this man to me after
ward, when he came marching into nv
room. He is built like a giant, and is a
man of determination. When he told me
who he was l trembled bit. 4 don't care
anything about what your opinion of me
is be said, and my only reason for calling
is to learn the name of the man who you
say is such a genius. l want to get him
for HGrper'S Weekly. He is just the sort
OF man want"
The name was furnished and Davis called
upon the man, told him how he came to
hear Of him, and the latter is now one Of
the most valued contributors to HdTper's
Not every editor would have taken the
trouble Davis did, or have shown as little
Jealousy.

pie. She has been before the public so long

for many years and saved her money. She
has had the good sense to preserve her
health, too, and so declares that age has no
terrors for her. She goes about on the stage
with elastic step and as enthusiastic as
a conquering soubrette. She has delighted
millions Of people, and, unless all signs fail,
will continue to act for many years to come.
She attributes her good health to plentiful
bathing and horseback riding. She has
been a close student OF the drama, and &C.
cumulated quite library. She Is known,
too. as quick-witted business woman. who
can speculate with profit. In the summer
she lives at Elberon, N. j., and there she
spends the long, dreamy summer days with
her husband and her friends beside her, and
horses and dogs near by. In private life
she is known as Mrs Charles Abbott. She
has made a fortune on the stage, and, bet

A GLIMPSE OF MRS. RUSSELL SAGE.

GLlMfSE OF MRS. hOSoELb oAGn.
Among the women of the metropolis
whose philanthropic endeavors have won
for them we'll deserved renown none stands
higher than Mrs. Russell Sage, the wife of
the Wall street finsncier, who, it is often
said, can command more hard cash in
short period of time than any man in Wall
street Mrs. Sage is in the early sixties, but
her years, despite very busy life, sit lightly
upon her. She is about the medium hight,
rather slightly built, and her manners are
gracious and charming. Mrs. Sage is easily
approachable. To newspaper men, who
often call at her Fifth avenue home to
interview her husband, she is most kind.
She knows many of them by sight and
a few by name. and her invariable ques-
ton is, Have ever met you before" Mrs.
Sage's hair is gray, and so are her eyes
piercing gray eyes. She dresses IN deep
mourning, out of respect TO her mother.
She Years no jewelry, il simple gold pin
clasped at the throat is expected. From
long experience Mrs. Sage has become
ready speaker, and there are few womea in
Gotham who preside at business meetings Of
wonen's societies or social gatherings with
more dignity and success She possesses
the strict business methods OF her
husband, end these she applies
to the various charitable enterprises
with which she is connected, mastering all
the details and giving everything her per-
sonal supervision. Mrs. Sage is highly
cultivated lady and a true helpmeet to her
husband. She gives large sums every year
to charity, but her requests are 80 quietly
bestowed that no estimate can be formed OF
their amount. She is a graduate of the
Troy Female Seminary of the class Of lS4s.
Ths seminary was founded by Mrs. Emma
willard in 1921. and was the first institu--
ton established for the higher education OF
women. She is consistent church member

Again Locked Up on ChArse OF In
sanity.
Ex-Councilman Maloney of Hoboken
was last night committed to the County
Jail by Recorder McDonough for exami-
nation as to his sanity. Maloney was at
the Snake Hill Asylum for several
months but was released little over a
year ago. He was thought to be doing
well, but OF late his actions have not
been those of a sane man. He planned a
trip to Chicago, and has been telling
his friends OF scheme by which
the Directors of the Worlds Fair would
attain certain success. He has slept very
little for the past few weeks and his wife
informed City Physician Simon who had,
however. beea watching the ex-CoHncil-
man, and was about to nave him commit
ted for examination. Politics has Ibeen

violent, but at times irritable and full OF
wild ideas. He was at one time worth
co nsiderable money.

unfortunate young woman was locked
up yesterday, after a hearing before JUS

fied that when she went home Wed

husband in company with Mr..
and Mrs Hope drinking beer. Mrs. Bar

her superiority, not only in the use of
English epithets, but in the line Of pugil-

she was assured the IRE OF her assailant's
temper had subdued. Yesterday she

Mrs. Hope refused to be interviewed
this morning.
AT the residence of the other women
Interested nothing could be learned.
They were not at nome, the reporter was
told. Mr. Hope said there was
good deal to be said on both sides.
but he didn't feel like saying anything
on either side just now. He thought the
charge was to be withdrawn so he had
made no effort to secure bail. Jealousy
was at the bottom of the whole business,
in his opinion.

he demanded angrily, when asked If he
was a Salyationist.

special 70 the Jersey ctr Es.os.
MAYS LANDING, July 81. 1891 About
two weeks ago Mrs. Emeline Thompson,
of this place, was bitten on the arm by a
fayorite cat. About two hours after she
was bitten she began to suffer great pain,
and the arm commenced to swell In two
hours II had swollen to twice its normal
size. It became greatly discolored and
physician was Immediately called ia. She
was afforded no relief and suffered great
pain.
The doctor has been in almost constant
attendance, but Mrs. Thompson has
gradually waned and her sufferings are
terrible. For the past four days the
swelling has been recediug. and the arm
is now almost back TO its normal condi-
tion. but it is still greatly discolored,
being almost black, and the pain is very
great.
The cat which bit Mrs. Thompson was
a small Maltese, of which she was very
fond and had always petted and tax en-
great care of. At the time she was bitten
she was carrying 1t In her arms, when it
became frightened aud tried to run from
her. In her attempt to hold it the cat
both bit and scratched her several times.
She was compelled to drop IL. The pain
set In at once, and in two hours time she
was nearly frantic.
The attending physician, DR.. Fl. c.
James, has great hopes of the case, and is
watching it closely.
The cat mas not been killed, but is close
ly watched.
In many ways Mrs. Thompson's symp-
toms are not unlike those of Lawyer
Bartine, Of Asbury Park, who was bitten
by cat several weeks ago and died from
the effects of the bite
Mrs. Thompson is the wife of Captain
H. A. Thompson, Inspector Of Hulls at
the port of Philadelphia, and is widely
known here.
