yellow race on earth The population
of North America is estimated at
100,000,000. II we had TO pay II, we'd
be assessed $40 head.
II amounts to about $40 for every
square mile on the earth's surface.
The receipts of the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition were about 100000
600. 1t would take, then, 100 exposi-
tions of that kind to earn such an in
demnity.
Even the czar, wealthy as he is,
would have hard time to pay ST.
600, 100000. His personal income is
said to be S12,000,000 year. 1t
would take him the remainder of his
life and all of the czarewitch's to
get a receipt in full from the Japs.
But there is no danger of Nicholas
assuming the burden. He will make
the peasants pay it.
AS another instance of the magni-
tude of the proposed indemnity, take
the building and loan associations OF
the United States. To meet the pay
ment would require nearly twice their
total assets. 1t would take about two
or three times the value of all the
coal mines in the United States, more
than two wheat crops, or practically
five times the dividends paid annually
on all American railroads; or, take
your choice of these: One-third of
all the pensions paid since 1861; near
ly ten times the surplus OF all the
railroads. A billion is about half the
amount of money in circulation in the
United States. 1t is equal to the an
nual revenue of Russia. 1t is almost
" much as the total bank clearings
OF the United States. 1t is double the
bank deposits of Russia. 1t is as much
as One-eighth of the resources of the
more than $500 banks of the United
States. The aggregate of cash in
the United States treasury Is only
about one-third more. 1t is larger
than this country's interest bearing
debt
If Japan gets her s1,000O00,000, she
will be able to buy about $40 battle
ships like the Oregon.

sent, early in the fray, to Major Reno

ground on the Government peninsula,
near the river entrance to the fair. The
lay of the ground at this place is sim

INDIAN Is VICTIM OF
DEADLY SCREW WORM
LOCAL. PHYSICIANS WORKING
HARD TO SAVE LIFE OF JOSE
LENTE, AT ISLETA PUEBLO.

The deadly screw worm is about to
claim a victim at the Isleta Pueblo.
Jose Lente, an Indian, while sleeping
out of doors recently, was set upon
by the deadly blow-fy, which laid its
eggs in his nose. From these eggs
came screw worms, and now the In
dian is lying near deaths door, with
the worms eating away the tissues Of
his nose and throat.
On account Of the Indians advanced
afe, he being about 90, local physi-
clans who have charge Of the case,
hold out little hope for his recovery.
Recently The Citizen has published
articles telling of several deaths in
Arizona, which have been caused by
the screw worm, and the announce
ment that it is getting in its fatal
work within a few miles OF Albuquer-
que, will no doubt cause considerable
comment.

RUSSELL SAGE HAS
REACHED NINETY YEARS

New York, Aug. 4.-Russell Sage
entered upon his ninetieth year to-
day. Contrary to the custom of many
years, Uncle" Russel1 did not spend
his birthday anniversary downtown at
his office. After much persuasion and
a resort to something like strategy,
Mrs. Sage and the family physician,
DR.. Mum, succeeded early in the
week in enticing the veteran financier
to his summer home at Lawrence
Beach and despite his yearnings to be
near the street" it is probable that
he will be kept in the country during
the remainder of the heated period,
with just an occasional run into town
to see how things are going.
During the day Mr. Sages friends,
fellow directors in Gould companies
for the most part, sent him their con-
gratulations by mail or wire. Mr.. Sage
in spite of his advanced age and his
appearance of failing strength, con-
tinues to take a keen interest in
everything that relates to the world
of business and finance.

Gorgas Taken to Columbia

Constable A. V. Rogers, Of Colum-
bia, Lancaster county, was in this city
yesterday to take charge of Claude
Gorgas, the fugitive from justice, who
was apprehended near the Reading
Iron Works, early Tuesday morning.
Gorgas, it is alleged. made quite an
unsavory record for himself at Colum-
bia, where he is wanted for series
of bold robberies. Constable Rogers
had in his possession three warrants
for Gorgas one charging him with
feIonious entry into a store and the
larceny of five overCoats. This crime
was committed early in the morning
of October GOTH, the burglar succeed
ing in getting away with the coats
which were valued at $50. Another
warrant was for obtaining goods from
Askin q Ream installment store at
Columbia under false prelenses. In
this instance, it is charged, he gave a
fictitious name and had the goods
charged. The third warrant was for
highway robbery, committed at Col
umbia, in which Gorgas is charged
with relieving his victim of watch
and about two dollars in money.
Gorgas has proved to be very
slippery customer. Constable Rogers
was close on his track at Reading some
time ago, but was unable to apprehend
the fugitive.
Constable Rogers returned to Col
umbia at / 81 yesterday afternoon,
taking Gorgas with him.

IN SESSION

ent Tuesday for the annual County

at present is not accorded bum. The
