RUSSELL sAGE'S OPINION.
It is only occasionally that Russell
Sage. eminent as q %fnancier. cares to
come before the public with his views.
People who kno Mr.. Sage know that he
has well-settled opinions upon all great
public questions. This being the case, a
reporter of The World called upon Mr..
Sage yesterday to ascertain wha he
thought OF The Worlds tremendous gain
In circulation. 1t raj about 8 o'clock,
and the money lender OF Wall street
had about finished his business for
the day n was getting ready to go
home. When he heard the question pro-
pounded by h reporter he looked up
and rmiled.
why certainly I know that The
World has q phenomenal circulation he
said. land l know It because men Of the
high character OF the gentlemen who
have looked over TIL Worlds books
would not think Of undertaking a job
OF that nature unless they did II
thoroughly. When they say The World
has a circulation Of 433. 1877. you can make
up your mind that It is 50.
Il do not care to 10 into details as to
why The World las this great circpla-
ton. because some Of the other news
implied criticism on their methods. I nave
no criticism to make on any one. but I
must say the way The World II rushing
along Is certainly amazing"
do you think hat the attitude Of The
World upon the great financlal questions
OF the day has had any effect upop the
circulation Of the paperT" Mr.. Sage was
asked.
II most certainly do" he replied. '"The
OF the most vital interest to this country
nave been. In my judgment. most SOUND
Ihe World has stood for honest money.
1t fought a great fight for this great

The police Of the Eldridge street sta

The last victim was NORTH Goldstein,
a clothing manufacturer. Of l02 Essex

Goldstein says. a man about twenty-five
years old. with black mustache and
f~ashionably dressed, called at the store
and asked to see samples Of children's
clothing.

Itself more strongly to the business
