PInYwri-E,t Snge Dies.

New York, Dec. 25.-William F.
Sage, a playwright and dramatic
critic, died at his home in this city
Monday. He was a brother of Mrs.
Abbie Sage Richardson, who died in
Italy about fortnight ago. Since
receiving the news of his sisters
death Mr.. Sage had been very despon-
dent and it is believed the shock of
her death brought on an attack of
paralysis. His great ambition was to
become a successful playwright, but
only one of his numerous plays was
ever produced. That was called Deg

At last accounts, the deposits in the
savings banks of the United States
rhe Need os sox amounted. in round
numbers, to 81 2OO,-
00O,CG0-an impress
slve total, which represents an aver
age of nearly $50 for every man, wom-
an and child in the country. An
analysis, of the figures discloses a
singular concentration of savings
banks. More than four-ffths of the
deposits, or, to be more nearly exact,
little more than 81 per cent, are in
the II New England and middle
states, leaving less than 13 per cent.
distributed among the other 81 states.
There can be no question that savings
banks encourage thrift. says Youths
Companion. People are great deal
more likely to lay something by for
rainy day if they feel a reasonable as
surance of finding it when they need
it, with a pleasing addition of inter-
est. These figures show that large
sections of the country are entirely
without savings banks. 1t is the con-
sideration of this fact which gives
weight to the argument for the estab-
Iishment of a postal savings-bank
system. There is much to be said in
favor of that system; yet when we
examine the practical working of the
British post office savings bank,
which has been suggested as a model
for this country, the result does not
encourage imitation. For the last
four years the bank has shown year
ly and increasing loss, and the Lon
don Times declares it insolvent. In
view of this fact, congress may well
hesitate to establish postal savings
banks. Without waiting for action in
that direction, communities which
lack institutions for savings may
wisely devise means to found them,
and to foster and safeguard them by
state legislation.

of property exposed to loss are taken
into consideration. The men who per-
form these services are heroes. and yet
the general uperintendent says that

such an occurrence: "In order to Sc

Mrs. Pickard by the warden to open the
strong box in which the papers were
kept. The prisoner was conveyed in
closed carriage to the safe, which he
blew open. and was then returned tc
his cell. All Col. Pickard's private pa
pers were locked up in the safe, and
the plan of securing the services of
burglar was adopted. 1t took the con.

BRYAN'S MAGIC TOUCH.
The Discredited Prophet of Disaster r
Never ReIinIuishes His
Hold.

So William Jennings Bryan intends
to start a newspaper of his own. He is
to do this in order, as he announces, to
keep ''in touch with social, economic
and political problems" 1t is to be
weekly newspaper, sans news. issued to
touch the aforementioned problems in
order Ito provide an income sufficient
for my (his) pecuniary needs"
We sincerely trust that Mr.. Bryan ;
anticipations of a success that will al
low him "more time with his family
than he has been able to enjoy for sew
eral years" will be realized. If all who
voted for the nominee of the Kansas
City convention will only send a sub
scription of one dollar to the Common
er, Lincoln, Neb.. it will establish Will
liam Jennings Bryan in the bosom of
his family beyond the necessity of run
ming for the presidency every four
years.
Talk of the Midas touch! The man
who, by keeping ''in touch with social,
economic and political problems" in
the columns of a weekly newspaper, can
hope to allure one dollar a head from
6.502 .925 American citizens annually
has a snap beyond Col. Sellers dream
of selling eye water to 500, ,000000 sore
eyed Chinese!

touch.-Chicago Times-I Herald.
