RUSSELL SAGE
CELEBRATED
His Eiehty.seventh Birthday in a Quiet
Fashion at His Office Today.

New York, Aug. 4.-Despite the op-
pressiveness of the "dog-day atmos
phere, which causes most Wall stree1
nen to HE themselves to the country
or the seashore, Russell Sage cefe-
brated his S7th birthday today
by appearing at his Office as
usual. Mr.. Sage does not allow the
course of his affairs to halt at the
mile-stones past which he is hurrying
toward the century mark. He rests
only fifty-two days in tho year. On
national and other hclida he always
visits his Office, although he occa-
sionally gives his Clerks permission
to take these days Off.
"It never occurred to me to take a
holiday today" Mr.. Sage remarked to
a friend who dropped in to offer his
congratulations" There are too
many holidays for young men these
days. They ought to stick to busi-
ness. That is what | have done. And
am now the oldest successful mer-
chant in New York city"
His longevity Mr.. Sage attributes
to his regular habits and his custom
OF being temperate in all things. I'm
til the last year or two he had never
experienced any illness to speak of.
Last year he had a severe spell
which it was feared for a time might
prove fatal But Mr.. Sage's wonder
ful constitution enabled him to rally
and be about his business in a short
while Last week it was reported
;hat he had been prostrated by an at
tack of vertigo, but this was emphat-
ically denied by the Sage household
Those most intimately acquainted
with Mr.. Sage's condition, however
are of the opinion that he is not SO
robust as he was a few years back
and that it would be much better were
he TO devote less time TO the routine
of his business affairs. The greatfi-
nancier does not agree with them
and declares he will remain in the
harness until severe sickness or OLD
age makes it impossible for ,him to
do So
The unsteadiness of the money
market of the last few weeks has
kept Mr. Sage more closely confined tc
/ his office than usual and contrary tC
his usual custom he has spent mum
Der of nights in town instead of going
to his country home at Cedarhurst
He does not, however, take a pessi
| mistic view of the situation.
The present condition of the mar
ket is but a pause on the onward
| march prosperity says Mr.. Sage
Wall street was pretty busy some
months ago and there seemed to be
lots doing in every line. Prices were
up and everything seemed so pros
rercus. AS the summer came or
| things became dull, and Wall stree
did not seem to have the go to i:
that it did beore.
There seemed to be a probability
of something cOming-and it did not
come" added Mr. Sage with a smile
when one cries ont in Wall stree;
all the rest join in for variOu reasons
to make a hubbub. But what hap
pens one day is forgotten the next
I expect prices to rally from now un
til September or October, when the
market will be firm and strong

Rome, Aug. 4-6:30 p. m.-Some
details of the election of Plus X leak
ed out this evening. Sarto had 80
votes last night, so his election this
morning was generally expected by
the sacred college. Even though he
knew this Sarto showed great emotion
as the ballots were being tailed. AS
his name was again and again read
he turned pale. The surrounding
cardinals commenced whispering con
ordinations. While the ballot was be-
ing verified he left his seat and knelt
on the altar in prayer. He was in
that position when Oreglia approach
ed and asked, DO you accept the cleo
tion?" Sarto remained silent some
time. his face buried in his hands,
then he raised his head, looked around
slowly. arose to his feet and graVely
acOuieSced.

The ExMayor of Spokane Imagines
That He Is the Democratic
Moses.

Spokane.-Patrick S. Byrne,, ex-
mayor Of Spokane, and who was de-
feated for reelection last May, when
he was candidate on the independent
labor ticket, is an avowed candidate
for governor on the democratic ticket.

Byrne, but If the nomination comes

CONSTITUTIONAL skAcos."

How Eoteware Put Him Completely
Out Of Commission.
During the session just past there
were several regulations blown to the
winds and none went glimering at
such lively rate as the one bourn so
long by Bob Skaggs, Known for years
as constitutional Skaggs''.
Skaggs' specially has been consti-
tutional law. He talked so wisely on
this subject and argued his assertions
with such a solemn show of wisdom
that the mob. who had not studied
constitutional law. held his opinions
in the most profound reverence.
When a bill came up that every
body was for Skaggs had but to whis-
per that it was unconstitutional and
its supporters fell awa..' like flock of
sheep frightened by the bowling Of a
band CT coyotes.
Skaggs realized his power In that
direction and took advantage of it.
Things reached such pass that
whenever Supreme Judge was
seen talking to Skaggs that he was
conversing with him for the purpose
Of imbibing constitutional law with
/
saturated clear to the neck.
OF course the end was bound to
come as it always does in any case
Of false pretense. One day Warren
Noteware who is about as keen a man
as one scares up in a days travel, de-
cided to read up little on the consti-
tuition and see if Skaggs really knew
anything about it.
He studied the constitution a couple
Of days while he was sick and had
nothing else to do and then got back
at his desk and when Skaggs began
| to prate about the famous organic
law of Nevada, Noteware began to
call him down 1t was profound sur
prise to Ncteware's unfortunate vic
! tim when No.eware took the first call
! cut of him and the House gasped for
breath.
+ Skaggs realized his position and
grew very red in the face and floun-
dered about when he saw that the
trap had been sprung end that he was
in for it. NOteWare was relentless
ana afjer the first set back, Skaggs
laG no stomach fer further trouble
and day after day Noteware would lift
him up and make regular monkey
OF him and in a week after he opened
his batteries, there was none SO poor
as to DO SkaggS reverence on any con
stitutioual question. Noteware literal
ly riGicd his hide and hung it on the
fence. Exit Skaggs, the great cOnstt
tutiCnalist.
