stitution. If the legislature of the state selects Governor Johnston. or the governor of the state appoints him, the senate will seat him. He will strive" says the Mobile Register. "to get legislature elected that Is friendly to him and will elect him in the place of Pettus. As a second string to his bow, he will try to get himself elected governor and Mr. Wal Ter lieutenant governor. and be ready, in case of the death of either of the two aged senators, to resign the gov ernorship and let MT. Waller, who will succeed him, appoint him to fill the vacancy" He would thus con- demn the new constitution, but he does this anyway The action in Perry is significant in the light of this pro- gramme.
 The friends of Senator Pettus should be alert. The man of many battles, the man who in a single term has made national reputation, is needed in the senate. He can serve the state there more efficiently than a man new to the senate can serve it, and Sena. tor Morgan is right when he sounds the alarm of danger

Proaresslve EnsleY.

T visited Ensley today for the first time in six months. and was surprised at its rapid growth" said a travelling man last night T have been familiar with the Steel City for two years or more and have predicted that 1t would develop into one of the largest eenters of ae- tivity in the south. but had no idea that it would progress as rapidly as it has.
 ''Ensley is being substantially built and the solidity of the mercantile part of the city is quickly remarked The prinei- pal streets make a better appearance now than those in many of the larger cities Ensleys one great need is a sewerage system, and this l understand will be soon supplied. Certain it is that no city of Ensey's pretentions and thrift can afford to be without sanitary sewers"

Jacksonville's Thrift.

After Richmond, Atlanta and Birming- ham comes next in importance on our line Jacksonville. Fla.," said general officer of the Southern Railway company yesterday.
 Jacksonville has been entirely rebuilt since its disastrous fire and 1t is a much handsomer city now than ever before. It has many eight-story buildings and there are fewer shoddy houses to be seen than in most cities. Jacksonville Is growing very fast in population and wealth and it will continue to increase right along"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
ew York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Marriage is not what 1t is contracted to be.
 A widows advantage is that she can give reference.
 Ihe foolishest thing a woman can dv is to dress up her age to make 1t loon older.
 When a woman in New Yorx reads about a panther having escaped in Cal ifornia, she goes and brings the baps in out of the yard, just to be sure.
 When woman can't find anything else to worry about she can STU oown ana have a good cry because 1T sne were to die that minute she wouldn't nave any suitable clothes to be buried in.

An Able Diplomat.

"Dr. Andrew D. White the United States ambassador to Berlin. who is to retire from public life in November, when he reaches the age of TO, is an able and successful diplomat. probably the ablest that has represented this country in many years" said man who has long taken an interest in public affairs.
 'It seems likely that White will be succeeded at Berlin by Bellamy storer now minister to Madrid. storer is an accomplished man and would doubtless fill the Berlin position with high credit to himself and his government, but it is not expected that he will measure up to the present incumbent.
 "Dr. White is an eminent scholar and a man of uncommon tact. He speaks Ger man huently and has enjoyed the marked esteem of the German people. He has been in a position to smooth away many of the unpleasant controversies that are constantly springing up between the United States and Germany over trade questions.
 When White first went to Germany as minister in 1879 he bore with him the prestige of his educational work in the United States and the experience of his labors as a member of the New York legislature. He reached a congenial att mosphere at once, and. while attending to the interests of his government re- freshed his memories of student life in Germany and made the acquaintance of many celebrities. Not only was he per- sonally acceptable to the Germans. but his ministry fell on a time when the rela- tions between the United States and Ger many were unclouded Nearly two de- cades passed away, and Dr. White re- turned to Berlin, this time with the added privileges of an ambassador"

RUSSELL SAGE IS ACTIVE
 AT AGE OF EIGHTY-SIX

when the first railroad was built in thu United Sattes. He was voter befor, the first steamship crossed the Atlantic When he was a boy such cities as Chi. cago, St. Louis. Buffalo, Milwaukee. De. troit, Omaha, Denver, San Francisco. St Paul and thousands of others were moi in existence.
 At the age of 12 when most boys ar, at school or at play. Russell Sage lef, the farm and went with his brother tc Troy Tn the winter months he had at. tended a district school and had learned to read and write He had access to nc books other than the school books. btr he had thoroughly mastered those IT, had an ambition. It was the ambition o, most boys. He wanted to be A great man.
 q do not recall that as a boy I had any special ambition" said MT. Sage. sg made up my mind to succeed in what, ere I undertook. dreaded poverty, and l saw it all around me. I determined that I would not remain poor, and adopt. ed as a motto the thought that any one can earn dollar. but 1t takes a wise man to keep one saved the first dol. lar ever earned, and from that hon have never been in debt to a human be. ing for cent which could not be ob. tained when due"
 He had an advantage which the boy of today lacks. The country which spread out before his widening vision was a new and undeveloped one. Every avenue of business and occupation was open to the lad or man of energy and talent. No pool, combination or monopoly reared it's walls or fences against his efforts. It was fair field and no favors. In clos ing, it is well to record that Russell Sage is the only man in the world known to be worth hundred million dollars who has sounded a warning against or ganized encroachments or free competi- tion. He does not agree with those who contend that young man has as good a chance to rise in an era of trust owner ship and control as in the days when no limit was placed on his scope and &C., tlvities.
 It is remarkable that one man should, in the span of his life, witness the birth of new civilization made possible by the development of machinery, and feel compelled in his old age to declare our institutions threatened by an industrial and commercial movement which may usher in a civilization as far removed from that of today as today is from the time when Russell Sage began his busi- ness career.

Probably the only person capable of giving an absolutely correct analysis of MT. Sage is his wife. This is not so much MT. Sage's fault as the public's. A good many years ago the public arrogated to itself the right to criticize MT Sage's clothes; then it concluded that he did not eat in accordance with epicurian stand ards. It decided, however, that he was avarlcious and merciless; when he bore all without protest the world continued to treat him with epithets. It called him mean.
 From one who Is a member of the Sage inner circle-if such a thing can be imag- ined by the public-comes the statement that the public began basting MT. Sage when he was no more sraspfng than many others, when he was not as mean as many others, and at time when he was doing some good If he had ever showed 8 disposition to strike back, opinion about him might have been soft ened. If he had ever explained anything, the public might have concluded that it had been unjust in some of its criticisms. But he remained indifferent. That indif- ference was of an unusual type. It never soured him; it created no disposition to get even.
 He has more ready money to hand out than most New York banks. He lends to anybody who has satisfactory security, no matter what the business may be. He makes his own investigations and nego- tiates accordingly. He is at his desk at 9:3O o'clock in the morning. He is g di- rector in a lot of corporations, and never misses a meeting of any.

He goes to his home on Fifth avenue, about o'clock in the afternoon. It is not the home of a miser, but well-ap- pointed well-governed, quiet and unpre- tentious. If the weather is pleasant his man shows up with that span of blacks" spirited high-steppers, and Mir. Sage talk ing the reins, sitting as straight as an expert, with his eyes straight ahead, drives through Central park and makes a brush on the speedway. He is back for his dinner by 6:SO o'clock. After the home meal he and his wife go into the library. He reads the afternoon news papers, and then if there have been no callers, he plays with striped cat, of which he is as fond as a girl would be. He romps with 1t, plagues 1t and fondles 1t. There have never been any children in the Sage home. Then, usually before 10 o'clock he is in bed. He is out at ' o'clock and reads the morning newspa- pers before he leaves home.
 If one of his old cronies comes in MT. Sage banters him for a game of check CTS, which is the only game he knows. They say he can play as well blindfolded as most men can with their eyes wide open. He plays checkers just as he works downtown-to win.

No one but MT. Sage ard Mrs. Sage knows whether or not he has dress suit or a dinner coat. No one has ever known him to- wear either. or if anyone has that knowledge, the public Is none the wiser for 1t.
 On one occasion--the date is not given there was a dinner to which MT. Sage was invited. It was a stag affair, but the men who were there are all punctil- ous about dress on such occasions. As delicately as they could they informed MT. Sage that conventionality in dress would be observed. MT. Sage was the last man to appear. He wore his every day clothes. He was in no wise disturbed however. The others were more so than he. He made a little apology for his dress and of course no one said anything to him. But when Mir. Sage had depart ed several things were said that no news paper would print

MT Sage was once a politician, and a he worked as hard for votes as he ever did for dollars. and he always got elected. He was elected an alderman in Troy In 1SH and was reelected each year until 1S4S then he was treasurer of Rensselaer, county for seven years. He then went to congress and served two terms, rom 1853 to 1857. A man who can remember Sage, the politician. has said of him: He was not much on speech making, but he was powerful when 1t came to hand shaking" When he quit congress he came to New York and started in selling "privileges' in Wall Street. and made money very rapidly. He early became interested in several western railroads, and for twelve years was either president or viee-president of the Milwaukee and St. Paul. He became associated with Jay Gould. and the two made many millions together.
 Russell Sage was years old when the first steam-power press was set in mo- ton in this or any other country. The first coal mine had been discovered only gas was manufactured in the year of his birth Young Russell was 13 yeafs old and a clerk in a store when the first matches were made. Pins were novelty and sold at s1 a paper.

From Various New York Papers
 Russell Sage has celebrated his seth birthday.
 Mr. Sage has worked hard all his life. Since he reached the age of 12 years he has been continually busy. Yet, as he sat in the glass-fronted sitting room of his summer home at Cedarhurst, L. l., yesterday he did not look his age by 20 years. He was dressed in an old pair of moth-eaten trousers, a tan vest and an old house coat, and was reading the Life of Jay Gould" When reading he uses glasses.
 MT. Sage ascribes his remarkable health and great age to the fact that he has lived an extremely simple life, re- tired early at night and never allowed business worries to keep him awake. He has been in Wall street more than forty years, and said yesterday:
 "I have done every day the best l could. with the light before me, and trusted to results. I have no intention of retiring, but will stay right on in har- ness. I am not so actively concerned in extensive Improvements now as I was fifteen or twenty years ago, but some times I take new responsibilities when l think the interests of my fellow citizens require it.

his son, John A. Morris, few colts,

with the running Of many big stakes.

BARRIERS Union Notable Section.


The BARRIERS union, three deep, with
Marshal Axtcl at their head were the
next in line. There were just 100 Of
them, and they looked gay in their pretty
uniforms of blue and white. The trous-
ers were blue and the shirts white; they
wore red caps and belts and carried canes.
After them came the lady BARRIERS in car
riages with strong representation frdm
the Tailors' union behind them. The tail

pieces.
Then came the teamsters, mounted On
their fine horses. Each was decorated with
a piece of bunting Many of them were
not saddle horses, but they looked fine Just

Europe.
More than 100 carpenters were next
in line. They had splendid banner borne
by a big six-foot member of the craft.

Neat Effect in Uniforms.
One of the best-appear'ng unions in the
parade was mat OF the Painters, Paper
hangers and Decorators, which followed.
Neat white uniforms and white caps gave
n pleasing effect.
The Building Laborers, with their blue
jeans and caps, were the next in line,
and then came the Electrical Workers,
who had also one of the handsomest uni
forms in the parade. The trousers were
of linen, resembling the kahki of the
United States infantry, and to carry out
the military effect the men wore ptth
helmets. Big Mike Sullivan carried the
banner for his union. His six feet odd
made him look quite imposing. Seventy
butchers, with their white caps and aprons,
made a fine show. The Brewers and NAL
sters completed the unions in this divi-
sion.
There was shout OF approval from The
spectators along the line when the Typo

was dressed to represent an imp Of The
