THE TRUE REPORTER.

The ingrained, inveterate and invinci-
bic newspaper reporter is never with
out the instincts of his calling. In one
of the smallest cities of this state. a few
years ago, veteran reporter, a man
past tie meridian of life, was so painful
~ afflicted with chronic affection that
he determined to commit suicide. Be
fore doing the final act he prepared for
his paper detailed account of his con-
dition, with the philosophy of the
thing, describing the effect upon his
mind and full incidents of his arrange
ments for the use of the pistol. Then
he timed the act so that his paper could
have complete scoop" of the transac-
ton. That was the instinct of his vo-
cation. The other day, when the dyna-
mite bomb was put on its devastating
duty in the office of RUSSELL SAGE, the
ubiquitous reporter Of a leading daily

RUSSELL sAGE,s WISDOM

One OF the great mysteries connected
with the attempt on RUSSELL SAGE's
life has been cleared up by the identifi-
cation Of the dead bomb throWer. An
other mystery much discussed seems
likely to be unsolyed to the end of time.
This is, whether the millionaire pulled
his clerk between himself and the mis-
Slle at the moment of the attack, The
clerk, who is in no condition for going
into general society at the present writ
ing, has been interviewed in the hospi-
Tai. but does not undertake to read his
employers mind. He says that Mr..
SAGE was very much excited and took
hold OF his hand, drawing him towards
him. The effect of this was to make
MIN a reasonably adequate shield, even
though this was not the intention. He
expresses the opinion that Mr.. SAGE
had no such definite thought in mind.
In fact, the time was too limited for
much thinking. But he states the facts
and lets who will draw the differences.
1t would seem, however, that, while the
great fnancier had no opportunity to
get MS reasoning faculties at work, his
instincts were, as usual, exceedingly
good'and that he acted with great discre-
ton In the crisis. 1t will forever remain
unknown whether it was chance or de-
sign that got the clerk between himself
and his assaiant. But there is no doubt
that the result in either case was equally
happy for him.
In this connection it is also instruct
i've to read Mr.. SAGE's comments on
the episode. He thinks that it carries
its moral lesson with it, and he hopes
that this will not be lost on the world.
The dead young mans fate, he says,
shows the danger which accompanies the
lust for gold. If he had not wanted a
million dollars, he might have been
alive today. But he was not willing to
be poor and humble like RUSSELL SAGE
and JAY GOULD. He aspired for great
wealth, and his ruin followed as a mat
ter of course. All this is quite true, and
shows how profound an observer and
philosopher Mr.. SAGE is. 1t is a terri
BILE thing to want to be a graspiDg mill
iOnaire, and anybody who nurses this
ambition must expect that sooner or
later his head will be blown off by some
explosive. The only career of safety is
the modest and unObtrusive sort fol-
lowed by the magnates of Wall street.

GAMBLING DEN RAIDED.
Clever Capture by Officers Of the
Police Force.

Police Force.
At an early hour this morning Ser
geant Sexton and Officer Fraser raided
a gambling den on East Seventh street.
between Cedar and Minnesota, and
captured five men. together with poker
table and buShel of red, white and
blue chips. The police have during
the past few nights noticed that a
number of young men freQueuted the
Guiselman block, on East Seventh
street. A watch was put on the prem
iSeS, and it was discovered that In room
%, OH the third floor, q gambling outfit
had been established for playing poker.
The officers raided the place at 2
o'clock this morning, and found a game
in full blast. Five young men were
engaged in the game, and on the table
notes, gold and silver were scattered.
The whole outfit was put in the central
patrol wagon, and taken to police head
quarters. The men gave their names as
follows: Ed Myers, 20, stOrekeeper; w.
l.. Scott, 26, painter; Andrew Larson,
%, uphOlsterer; John Kramer, "a, clerk,
and Thomas DeBniS0n, 20. hOstler.
1t is needless almost to state that the
names were fictitious. Scott and Lar
son. when searched, had no money;
Myers had S21.1S, while Kramer had
SIS and DenniSon SOS. The two last
named admitted that they hired the
room and started the gambling. Both
the fellows were released on $50 each,
while the men who lost their money in
the den stayed IN Jail.

Adolph Grethen, the musician who
has caused so many little sensations in
Minneapolis and st. Paul by his cratic
actions, was committed to the insane
asylum yesterday. This is the second
time he has been sent to the asylum,
having been committed by the probate
court in st. Paul about two years ago,
after having threatened the life of his
cousin unless she consented to marry
him. Grethen is an accomplished mu-
Slcian and a critic of considerable abiI-
ity. but he has not been right in his
mind for several years.

but as soon as he could pick himself up,
and without waiting to see that he was
all there, he struck for the first tele-
phone and sent in to his paper the first
reports of the great sensation. In
brief period his narrative was making
the papers sell enormously on the streets.
There was nothing unusual in this. 1t
simply illustrates the absorption of the
true reporter in his speciality. That is
the way a live paper keeps up its gait.

high Valley Coal company, $4,000;
philadelphia & Reading Coal company,
$4,000; Hydraulic Coal company, Chi
