There is no sentiment about GriZ-

alarmed. 1t is not surprising then,
says the Detroit Free Press, hat the
doctor assumed the utmost gravity
when GriZler called to present the cas-
of his wife.

band, that her mental equilibrium is
disturbed. She is not like other
women and not as she used to be.

Ter, ever since she was born. No one
ever had a brighter mind or a happier
disposition. [ can't understand it.

ton on record. 1t called for hOrses,
carriages, fine raiment, jewels and a
Well-tilled purse. At the bottom was
a receipt in full for $50. 200. There
was no chance for Grizler to weaken,

The Exclusion of Immigrants.

immigrants who came Overin the May
flower: Did the great-grandfathers
of them all fight in the revolution
and on the right side? Did they or
their fathers take effective part in the
debate of 1916? In a word. who are
they that they should claim a right TO

RUSSELL SAGE'S COUP.

Veteran Financier Said to Have COrnered
Manhattan Shares.
New YORK, Aug. 9.-Russell Sage.
who has just passed his SD birthday, is
credited with financial coup. Friends
Of Mr.. Sage say the spry veteran has
brought about corner in Manhattan
stock. Manhattan Elevated stock some
months ago became popular target Tor
bears, along with outspoken declara-
tions from Mr.. Sage that, as the Man.
haitian company was not earning the
dividends it was paying, it should pay
less dividends, and when the spring
quarter days came around Mr.. Sage had
his way and the dividend rate was cut
down. Friday the stock jumped from
50 to 100. 1t has become matter OF
comment that certain prominent houses
are on the short side OF the stock. These
reports gained interest and became sensa.
tional when it was announced that repre-.
sentatives of one of the big houses on the
short side had called upon Mr.. Sage and
asked him to let them have at private
sale over 10000 shares of Manhattan
stock, with which to make good all OF
part of their shorts. Mr. Sage had said
to them: liam not willing to let any
Of my stock go. have bought it be-
cause believe in the property. If you
are short on the stock and want to buy
the only advice / can give you is to &C
into the open market and bid for what
you want. Perhaps you can buy 10000
up somewhere around par. Perhaps il
may cost you 10 or 20 points more thar
that"
A story is afloat that William G

Street railway company, has made
cash offer for the Gould and Sage inter
ests in the IL" railroad. The deal, i
carried out, will give the great mon
