RUSSELL SAGE GETS SHAVED

Russell Sage has removed his beard.
Wall street wonders whether tine
great financier and economist shaved
himself or indul ged in the exrava-
gance of barber. As he enjoys the
reputation of being an expert shaver,
popular fancy pictured him before a
cheval glass in his own dressiug-room
shearing himself as he is supposed to
have shorn some of the lambs. The
wind is tempered to the shorn lamb,
is quoted, and being bereft of his
whlskers Mr.. Sage will no longer be a
plaything for bantering bears.
To say that the departure of those
well-known side whiskers from the
face of "Uncle Russ" changes his ap.
pearance is putting it mildly. His
most intimate friends fail to recognize
him. Perhaps he is glad of that.
Mr.. Sage attended the meeting OF
railroad presidents at the Windsor
Hotel yesterday morning. At that
time his whiskers were in their accus-
toned place. But their owner ap.
peared uneasy during the morning
session. He left the meeting before
the recess for lunch was taken.
When the members of the Traffic
association had taken their seats for
luncheon in the dining room of the
Windsor, Mr.. Sage walked in and sat
down among them. He was at once
informed by President Cable Of the
Rock Island road, that theirs was a
private table and strangers were ex-
pected to find seats elsewhere.
Mr.. Sage replied that he did not
think he was very much Of of a strsn-
ger to any Of the party. Mr.. Cable
recognized the voice of the supposed
stranger as that of Russell Sage, but
the clean shaven face was not the face
Of that individual as he appeared at
the meeting only an hour before.
By this time everybody at the table
was gazing at the strange face on
familiar pair of shoulders.
"What are you looking att" ex-
claimed Mr.. Sage. "I'm all here ex-
cept my whiskers. Why did l take
them off? Because l think | look
better this way"
He certainly is improved. The re-
moval of his beard makes Mr.. Sage
look fifteen years younger. All his
associates, when they recovered from
their surprise complimented him on
his youthful appearance.
Mr.. Gould did not see Mr.. Sage
at luncheon. When the party reas-
sembled for the afternoon session Mr..
Gould politely informed "UncIe
Russ" that the meeting was strictly
private and he would have to retire.
This request brought q laugh from
the other members who had been
watching to see whether Mr.. Gould
would recognize his old associate.
Mr.. Gould was very much crestfallen
when he saw how he had been fooled.
Many reasons were advanced for
"Uncle RUSS" act. One was that
he wanted to avoid being recognized
by certain people. Another he |
wanted to look youthful in his old
age. 1t was also said that the wind
bothered him a great deal when he
Was holding the ribbons behind some
IF his feet trotters.
A rumor was also current that the
great financier had really gone to .
barber and tipped him, but diligent
inquiry failed to corroborate this
York World.

engineers a a lei of propulsion.
Long after the experiment of II. B. NJ.
s Rather had demonstrated the con
trary the public faith in the visible
wheel vas greater in reality and more
sincere than that in the invisible screw,
and it is probable that it was more the
question of cost than anything else
that gained the victory for the sc-ew

The paddle engine is in itself heavier
and occupies more room than the screw
engine. Ii is as a rule more expressive

pecialiy Of the propeller itself-it far
exceeds the screw. II occupies the
best part Of the ship. and its posi-
ton is not a matter of choice. as with
the screw engine, but is Of necessity at
or near the middle Of the ship. 1t is
evident that a paddle steamer must re-
quire more room, and that ia moving
among ships or other distractions the
liability TO damage the propeller is
greater than with the screw steamer,
and in the ease Of a long voyage the
paddle generally worked at a disad-
vantage. as at the commencement it

On the other hand, the paddle boat

claimed for the paddle wheel although
the foundation for such a claim is rather
nebulous-that when at full speed the
