RUSSELL SAGE, PHILOSOPHER.

Russell Sage of New York, ffnancier.
was eighty-five years old the other day
A reporter called on him, and found
him in his Office at work. On his desk
were roses and kilograms of cOngratu-
lations from his friends, mixed up with
papers recording business transactions.
Mr.. Sage was in good health and good
spirits, and chatted and laughed like
young man of co." Being one of the
multi millionaires and celebrities of
New York. people like to know the
hows and why's of Mr.. Sage's life, and
the reporter started in at once to ask
him how he had managed to reach
such ripe and opulent age, and why
he didn't quit work and enjoy his
remaining days.
Mr.. Sage admitted that he owned a
great deal of money; probably more
ready cash than any other man oper-
ating in Wall street. He had made II
by a close application to business dur
ing many years, and he added that he
was still making money. but do not
care for money as money" he asserted;
Il am not avaricious. I take small
profits, but my business is so large
that II amounts TO a great deal. must
take some profit, or it would not be
business. 1 enjoy my work, and like
to be successful"
He was asked why he did not retire
and "enjoy llfe." His reply was that
he was already enjoying life, far more
than he possibly could IL he were to
quit business and spend the remainder
of his days In idleness; that he took
keen pleasure In working and seeing
his labors bear fruit He cared nothing
for society" or big dinners. or yachts.
The pleasure he derived from his daily
labors was greater than that enjoyed
by most of those who maintained mag
nificent establishments and fine yachts,
and gorged themselves with dishes pre-
pared by imported cooks. WELL why
don't you die of apoplexy, as other
Wall street men do?" he was asked.
Because take care of my health as
well as my business" he replied. II
never go to extremes in anything, in
working, eating or exercising. do
everything in moderation; and never
worry. My position every night is such
that ] can lie down and sleep soundly
without fretting about what may tran
spire. am never on the wrong side
of the market, because / never deal on
margins"
Mr.. Sage Is not worried about the
prospect of being disgraced by dying
rich. He says he hopes TO "wear OUT
at his desk. rather than rust out"
from inactivity. And, hoping 10 work
as long as he lives, he hopes to make
money as long as he works. Mean
while he is spending but little of his
enormous fortune. He may have plans
for a magnificent distribution of his
wealth after his death.

THE NAvAL STORES sITuATIoN.

The meeting of naval stores opera
tors and factors at Jacksonville on
Wednesday appears to have been a
very satisfactory one. Those engaged
in the naval stores business in this
state and Florida had an opportunity,
long desired, TO talk over features of
the business which are somewhat trou-
blesome, and while no definite conclu-
sions were reached in respect to any
question that was discussed, a COM
mittee was appointed to present plan
of action to a general convention of
naval stores men to be held in Jackson-
vile on Sept. II. At the meeting
Wednesday three things were brought
prominently to the front. First, the ad-
visibility of cutting fewer new boxes
during the coming season. or to cut
no boxes at all for the period of one
year, for the purpose of limiting the
product, and thus putting the prices
of rosins and turpentine on a more
profitable basis. Second, to reduce
wages and the price of cutting boxes,
and third, the necessity for cutting the
trees so that they will yield for a
longer period than at present
1t is probable that it is practically
impossible to get the operators to
agree not to cut any boxes for a year.
If that plan were adopted the best
labor would scatter and it would be
difficult to get it together again. 1t
fert.N ~.
ment to cut only limited number of
boxes. By that means track could be
kept of the labor and, to a certain ex-
tent, the price of the products of the
pine tree could be controlled.
1t is evident that If something is not
will be but a little while before there
will be an end of the naval stores in
dustry in this section of the country.
Swiftly the pine forests are being
cleared away. There is no effort to
handle the trees so that they will con-
tinue to yield profitably for many
years. The effort seems to be to get
as much as possible out of them In
two or three years, and then turn them
over to the saw mill men. II that poll
icy is continued the naval stores in
dustry will soon be a thing of the
past.
The labor question is a troublesome
one. 1t is claimed that the price for
cutting boxes is altogether too high.
But, as one of the leading men at the
Jacksonville meeting said, it is proba-
BILE that the price will never be any
lower. The supply of labor is not equal
to the demand. While that condition
exists it will be practically impossible
to get satisfactory labor at a less price
than is now paid. That being the case
the aim should be to get the very best
men possible for the price, If the num-
Der of boxes to be cut during the CON-
ing year is limited, it will be possible
to weed cut the undesirable Iabor--to
retain only that which is intelligent
anc reliable. 1t seems, from what some
OF the operators at the Jacksonville
meeting said, there Is a Willingness to
pay competent men--msn who can be
relied upon--the present price for cut
ting boxes and for other labor.
No doubt something VIII come out
of the meeting on Sept. IL that will
help the naval stores manufacturers
over the difficulties with which they
are now contending.

Nude Cupids in the Library.

Scandalous talk yesterday came near
robbing GaIahad of his famous white
flower of blameless life" says the
Boston Post. The Galahad portrayed in
so many adventures by Edwin Abbey
in the delivery room of the Public
Library is meant.
The ceiling of this room has recently
been completed. A prominent part in
its decoration is taken by pretty,
dancing cupids In bas-relief.
A rumor arose and spread and was
passed along eagerly, and was the
means of attracting hundreds of GU
rious persons to the library.
Yesterday was typical Boston day,
with it's gray weather and east wind,
and this rumor was like unto 1t, in
that it was typically Bostonian.
1t was to the effect that the cupids
on the new ceiling were successors to
the famed nude boys on the seal over
the entrance and to the banished Bac-
chante in the matter of riSqueneSs;
that they were calculated to bring the
blush of shame to the check of inno-
cence, and that they would shock the
young person-that, indeed, they were
shamefully improper and not dressed
at all.
And the crowds were there to see--
all that was TO be seen.
WELL" said one stout matron, bend
ing her head back with difficulty to
direcI her lorgnette on the ceiling,
those cupids may be moulded out of
lead. but they are really brazen."
ITO think of poor, dear, sweet, little
Galahad being given such compan-
IONS" said another sentimental lady.
Somebody should write TO Mr.. Abbey
about it. wonder what Tennyson
would say about it were he alive
But there were other opinions ex-
pressed. The cupids are, to be sure, I'M
dressed, but there are draperies care
fully arranged, and the majority of
the sight-seers could see no prurient
suggestion, nor aught of scandal.

The Consolidated Tobacco Company,
the giant trust that has swallowed
practically all the tobacco concerns in
the country, paid $4,000 in revenue
stamps, on June Is. rather than wait
two weeks to consummate business
transaction. The stamps were affixed
to a mortgage given by the CONSOLE
dated Tobacco Company to the Morton
Trust Company, to secure a bond issue
of $50, 200. 900. On July the stamp tax
on mortgages ceased to exist and the
company would have saved just $75, 900
by waiting two weeks. 1t preferred to
go ahead.

Evansville, Indiana, last Monday. Foss
seemed to take some credit to himself
in the alleged fact that he had never
been kissed and was wont to boast OF
II in the presence of his pupils. A
band of six young women determined
to make II impossible for him truth
fully to repent the boast, and
they waylaid him on the streets
and kissed him in turn. Foss was in
dignant, and wanted to swear out war
rants against the kissers for assault
and battery. 1t just shows that the
good things Of this life fall to those
who neither deserve nor appreciate
them. Since the occurrence, it is re-
ported, all the unmarried men in Ev-
ansville7-and some married ones, for all
we know-have been proclaiming from
the street corners that they, too, have
never been kissed. Can it have been
that the unseemly boast was all
guileful game on the part Of Foss?
Morgan Burgess, a young business
man of Green Ridge, Conn, has re-
turned to her parents, with his bless
Ing and a check for $1,000, his bride
of three weeks: he says she is a hoo
doc. She was a girl from Vermont,
and when he brought her home his
mother fell dead at the introduction.
Two nights later the house was en-
tered by burglars and several hundred
dollars were stolen; then a valuable
horse and two cows were stricken with
an unknown disease and died; Burgess
himself was thrown from a buggy and
sustained compound fracture of his
left arm, and, to crown the whole per-
Torrance, his store was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground.
This was enough. Burgess says his
wife is a hoodoo, if there ever
was one, and that he hash
the nerve to live in the same
house with her. He loves her all right,
but has given her a ticket home and a
check and hidden her goodbye forever.
The courtship was conducted by CORE
spondence and Burgess had never seen
his bride before he went on to Vermont
TO marry her. He thinks the misfor-
tunes that have followed him serve
him right, for having linked his life
with that of a girl he had never seen.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Journal (Dem.) says:
Government and society are per-
meated by a gigantic and demoralizing
bride system. Gamblers and dive
keepers bride the police. So do mer-
chants who want permission to store
goods on the sidewalks and otherwise
violate the laws. A respectable prop
erty owner and a disreputable police
captain are approached by a person
who desires to open an immoral resort
He offers each a fee for permission 20
break the law. To the respectable
property owner it comes in the shape
of an eXorbitant rent: to the police
captain it is given as a plain. I'M
adorned bride. What is the differ
ence? Let us reform the police force,
by all means. And while we are about
it let us go on and reform the COM
munity."

CANNON FIRING AGAINST CLOUDS.
Their System Warmly Approved by q
Congress of French Wine Growers.

United States Consul Covert, at Lyons,
France, has informed the State Department
that the congress Of delegates held at
Padua, Italy. to consider the question OF
firing cannon at clouds to prevent the
devastation of hail among the vine growers
of France and Italy has adjourned. The
reports presented to the congress by wine
growers were all in favor of the efficacy
OF the use of the cannon. Insurance men,
whose business Is to insure crops against
damages from hail. attended the congress,
naturally with the intention of proving that
cannon firing was useless. However, their
propositions were overwhelmingly voted
down. BY an almost unanimous vote 1t
was resolved that the firing of cannon stop
ped the movement of hurricanes; that the
lightning and thunder ceased, that rain or
melted snow Immediately began to fall and
the clouds had passed away when attacked
by the storm artillery. number OF can
non were presented to the congress for eX-
animation. OF these, says the report. the
most remarkable one uses acetylene gas
mixed with air, and, through the services
OF single operator, as many as nifty or
them. stationed at various points. may
be discharged simultaneously by means OF
an electric wire. The inventors Of this gun
refuse to sell 1t, but next year, says Mr..
Covert, they will undertake to insure grape
growers against all damages from han for
comparatively small sum.
