LAWYERS DID IT.
How the Union Pacific Trouble Over the
Omaha Bridge Happened,

omana briuSe adppeneur
New YORK, January 2d.-A representa-
tive banker, identified with the Presidents
Association, was interviewed and says:
The people are mistaken in supposing
the Omaha bridge controversy will affect
the Presidents agreement. The fact that a
disagreement has been discovered and
prompt steps are being taken to remedy it,
shows that there is general disposition 10
maintain harmonious relations among all
lines, in every particular. The fact is that
certain lawyers, in drawing up the Omaha
bridge contract, overreached certain other
lawyers. The lawyers have made mis-
take, rather than the principals. 1t took
the principals, however, in the new man
agement of The Union Pacific, very short
time to discover its fuu effects. The new
management has the sympathies of the
outside railroad men as far as the facts are
known.

LoEDoN, January 2d.-The condition of
female workers in the metropolis is at.
tracing great interest. Many women en-.

night, they providing their own paste and
fuel for drying their boxes, and all this for

the Citizens Committee, have maintained all
along that Judge KavanAgh could not hold a
jury trial, and last night applied to Judge
GarrctsOn for the removal Of the case TO a
proper court, where full jury trial could be

could not grant the application, but said he

In his younger days they were full and
luxurinnt and OF sunshiny amber tint.
Latterly, however, they have thinned out
considerably, and wherever the natural color
was visible 1t was seen that they had dingy
white shade.
"Uncle Russ has employed every means
TO conceal this indication OF advancing years,
ana all the ingenuity OF the dyers' art has
been expended In giving a rich dark lustre TO
the struggling hairs.
Sometimes the artist has been more sue
cesBful than at others but II may be stated
in general way that In the last score Of
years Uncle Russ's" beard has assumed at
intervals every known shade OF color, from a
royal purple to Jet black.
Mr.. Sage resents any inquiry as to the rea-
son for shaving OF his whiskers, but simply
says that he thinks he looks better as he is
now. The change certainly makes him look
twenty years younger, and II is whispered
among his friends that he has some deep ul-
terror design, which will appear later on.
He can certainly make n considerable saw
ing on chemicals and dyestufTs, for he was
upper lip, and, in view OF his well-knOwn
habits OF frugality, this may furnish suf-
fiCient motive for the sacrifice OF this object
OF lOng-continued sOlctude.

much anxiety OF mind, and during the heated
term which has Just set In, Will undoubtedly
experience much comfort and personal salts

has wrought in the appearance OF his old

and come out as rival OF his son George In

Even his Oldest and most intimate friends
failed to recognize him at first, and 1t was
only when they heard the familiar sound OF
his voice, with It's high-pitched down East
twang, that they were convinced that 1t was
really Russell In the flesh.
Mr.. Sage himself was much put out and an
noyed at the attention which his changed ap-
pearance excited.
The truth is that "UnCle Russ" and his
whiskers have been inseparably associated
for the last nifty years In the minds Of the
public, ana to picture either one without the
other requires an EFFORT OF the Imagination
that very few who are familiar with his ap-
pearanCe are capable OF.
Nobody has ever accused Mr.. Sage OF per-
sonal vanity, except in connection with his
whiskers. They have been his pride for years,
and the amount OF care and nursing that he
has bestowed upon them is well known to his
intimates.
