two suits-good suits-for less than
used to pay for one suit.
ITS the same with shoes and other
things. 1 bought pair of shoes of a
wellknown make the other day for two
dollars that used to sell at eight dollars.
Well, when things are so cheap, people
won't pay so much to ride on the rail-
roads. Travel is less and railroad earn
ings less, and there is an enormous
shrinkage in values. Only the other day
1 had letter from one of the railroad
commissioners of Iowa asking if the
Iowa Central would not make lower
rate on corn. I've been president of the
Iowa Central for 20 years. He said the
corn was rotting because it would not
pay to haul it at the present prices, and
he wanted the railroads to name rate
which would make it possible for the
farmers to ship it out of the state. He
showed that in IS years the production
of corn had expanded from 100000 10
300,000,00O bushels a year. Last sum-
mer there was hog cholera, and they
figure that in the loss of hogs and the
of Iowa $15,OO0,O0O. Well, there are no
hogs there now to eat the corn, and it
is piling up and going to waste because
there is no one to use it, and they can't
get it out of the state Much of it is in
the ear, too; and that is the way to keep
corn unless you can turn it over. There
is so much moisture that if you take it
- h. 10 nj
you turn it over regularly until June.
Well, he wanted to know if it wouldn't
be good policy in the railroads to cut the
rate in half and so help the farmers
out. But l wrote back and told him
he'd better consult the general man
ager of the road, and / reminded him
that we had transported free the lum-
Der to make the storage sheds along
the track in which the corn is stored;
and / asked him If he didn't think it
likely that if we made low rate in
April, 1897, it would be brought up
against us before him as railroad COM
missioner in April, 1898. and April, 1899.
Thirty years ago. said Mr.. Sage,

New York; went up in the elevator
with Russell Sage TO his new offices on
Nassau street the other day. He said
-Four" to the elevator mau as he got in.
At the fourth floor he got out ahead of
me and went on to his office. He walks
with as firm a step as a middle-aged man,
though he is so years old. There is
nothing about him to suggest his age
except a slight nervous affection of the
right eye, and slight deafness, as
found when talked with him later.
The entrance to this office is through
small lobby. a board partition reach
ing TO the ceiling shuts in the Office.
You can see the anteroom through
wicket, and the cashiers room is visible
when the cashier opens a trap window
to look out. There are no heavy bar
riers to keep out cranks. In Mr.. Sage's
old Office iron bars were put up after
the experience of the millionaire with
the crazy Norcross and his bag of dyna-
mite. That Norcross affair, by the way,
is favorite Jest with the men who call
to see Mr.. Sage

him l had no bag to DROP" they say
with grim Righteousness.
While waited heard a customer dis
cussing a business transaction with the
cashier. 1t concerned two loans aggre-
eating more than $1,750,00O and the rate
of interest the customer was paying ON
them. Million-dollar loans are not I'M
common things in Mr. Sage's office. He
is the millionaire who keeps his mill
lions on hand. Though he has large in
terests in railroads, banks and other
corporations, he always has a half mill
lion or so in cash where he can get it
on five minutes notice.
The anterooIn of Mr.. Sage's Office is
small. There is a table in one corner.

ic letters are going to touch Mr. Sage's
heart any more quickly than they will
reach other mems, because Mr.. Sage is
too busy TO investigate every call made
on him; If he investigated one he
would have to investigate all: and so
he investigates none. Mrs. Sage has
her charities, but they are along lines
with which she is familiar personally;
and writer's of begging letters TO either
Mr.. Sage or Mrs. Sage who are not
known TO them personally might as
we'll save their postage stamps Their
letters will bring no results-not even
a reply.
| asked Mr.. Sage what he thought
was the outlook for prosperity under
the new tariff, but he told me that
where men were so divided as. to the
probable effect of this or that feature of
the tariff bill it was unwise to express
an opinion Besides, the new tariff has
not been shaped yet. When it is, doubt
less Mr.. Sage will have something in
teresting to say about it, lie was a
member of the ways and means com
mittee of the house at Washington
nearly 40 years ago, and he is thor
oughly familiar with the subject.
Apropos of the depression of business,
Mr. Sage said: "Men think hard times
are due to lack of money They are
not. They are due to the enormous
shrinkage in values-35 to so per cent.
in railroad stocks alone. There is
plenty of money, and money to-day will
buy more of almost any product than
It ever would before. You can get
twice as much for a dollar now as you
could 20 years ago. L passed a store
just below Cortlandt street to-day
where you can buy a suit of clothing
for 1857. There was quite a crowd of
men there. Just think of tia suit of
good clothing for 1857. / often have
occasion to go into the big dry goods
stores because I am interested in the
banks from which they get credit, and
want to see the men in their own
stores and observe how they do bust
ness. Well, 1 was in one of these places
the other day, and they had line of
clothing from some manufacturer who
wanted money, and they were selling
suits for $6.75. / looked at them, and
they were as good as any suit 1 used to
pay SIS and $40 for. bought two, not
that 1 wanted any more clothing, for

cause 1 wanted to say that I'd bought

peted. Opposite the door is a t1at-toppec
desk for Mr.. Sage's use. 1t is of polished
oak. At the other end of the room is q
roll-top desk of oak. On the tinted walls
are some photographs. 1t is in every re.
spect well equipped modern business
Office. Beyond it is a small room, hardly
larger than a closet, where Mr.. Sage
keeps his hat and coat and umbrella.
Mr.. Sage's customary dress is one-but-
ton sack coat of black, black trousers,
q white shirt, a standing collar and a
broad black bow.
Mr.. Sage is not partial to being in
terviewed. He is identified with the
control of institutions in which all New
York city is interested-the Manhattan
elevated railroads and the Western
Union Telegraph eompany-and his
office, therefore, is much haunted by
reporters. Those who gather news in
Wall street for the great New York
dailies tell me Mr.. Sage is good news
man"-that is, that it is easy to get in
formation from him, and that when he
gives out statement you can rely on
it's accuracy. Therefore, it is not be-
cause of any indisposition to tell what
ever of public interest he knows that
Mr.. Sage objects to the interview. Nor
is it because he does not like to talk or
has little to say-for Mr.. Sage has a
ready tongue, and in life ranging over
so years of the wonderful history
of this great country, he must have
seen and known a great deal that is
worth telling. No; Mr.. Sage's objec-
ton to being interviewed is based on
the fact that the publication of am in
terview always brings him an enor-
nous increase of his mail, and this in
crease is made up largely of begging
letters. Every wealthy man receives
a great many begging letters, and this
number is not measured by his reputa-
ton for liberality. Mr.. Sage is not re-
puted liberal--at least in the sense in
which that word is used most common
ly-and yet he receives quite as many
begging letters as does Mr.. Vanderbilt
whose fame is identified with various
philanthropic institutions like the Char
ity Organization society.
81 am within the facts" said Mr..
Sage, when explained that 1 wanted
him to talk for publication, when 1
say that the last interview with me
which was published brought me be-
tween 500 and 1000 letters. They came
from all parts of the country-even
from Europe. l had two from Paris. l

answer every letter that comes to me,
but it is too much to expect me to am
swer all these. 1 don't want TO appear
discourteous, but even the opening and
reading of SO much mail is great un-
dertaking; and I am very busy man"
Mr.. Sage says he reads personally
every letter that comes to him-that
he always has done so. This il not to
imply. however, that writer's of pathet-

OPPOSED TO FOOTBALL.
To the Daily Light.

TO the Daily Light.
In reviewing the great number of ac-
cidents, serious and trivial. together
with not Il small number of fatalities
attending the game of football it would
appear that the time has come when Il
general reform in this direction is nee
eSSary. In view of the great num-
Der of accidents on the football field
between college and academy teams, it
is impossible to any longer view the
game in the light of innocent recrea-
tive amusement with harmless and
healthful athletics as its object. Al
though sO-called smuggling has been
ruled out of the game there is still left
enough of brutal muscular force to
make the alleged sport productive of
the greatest variety of surgical injur-
les to every part of the body. In fact,
there is hardly game in which some
one of the contestants is not more or
less seriously hurt. Only the severeT
injuries are noted while the Lesser ones
serve to call forth the plauditS of an
excited audience. Short of actual
death on the field, not much account is
taken of the hundreds of young men
who are Oftentimes injured for life as
the result of the rough and tumble
methods of the match. The trainers
explain the number of injuries by the
lack of requisite preparation for the
contest, but in reality the more the
footballers are trained the more dan
gerous becomes the game. 1t is GER
tainly time we should look the matter
fairly in the face. If we wish to de-
velop pluck, courage and strength we
can do so in a more healthful and safer
way. 1t is tin.e that the game be very
materially modified or abolished alto

WARNING TO INVENTORS.

As the new amendments to the pat
ent law 90 into effect on January 1,
1898. it is we'll that inventors, both
here and abroad. should bear in mind
several of the very important changes
which may seriously affect their
rights.
I Under the new law patent can
not be obtained for any invention
which has been patented or described
in any printed publication in this or
any other country more than two
years prior to the application.
. No patent shall be refused nor
shall any patent be declared invalid
by reason Of its first having been pat
ented in some other foreign country,
unless the said application was filed
more than seven months prior to the
application in this country.
3 The application must be cOmplet-
ed and prepared for examination
within one year after the filing of said
application. In default thereof it shall
be regarded as abandoned.
An interference will not be de.
clared between an original appplica-
ton and a patent issued more than
two years prior to the date of filing
the said application. In view of these
changes in our patent practice, it is
desirable that those who are interest.
ed and would be affected by the laws
as above mentioned should file their
United States application before Janu-
airy /.
We have a number of times called
attention to these impending changes,
but they are of such great Importance
particularly those mentioned in para.
graphs one and two, that we take this
occasion to again call attention to
these points.
1t should at the same time be borne
in mind that the term of the United
States patent will not be shortened BY
the prior feeling or issuing of a for
eign patent for the same invention
1t is possible, therefore, for the Amer
| lcan inventor now to proceed with
| foreign applications without waiting
Tor his United States patent to he is
sued.-Scientific American.

THE TRUE REMEDY.

W.. Nj. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, H..
Chief" says: I'VE won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until We
used DIR. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our
home, as in it we have a certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Coughs, ETC." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even If they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery. They are not
as good, because this remedy has a
record of cures and besides is guaran-
teed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial
