vivid and pathetic details OF the death
OF Mai. Carney during the lion-shoot-

The major, of course, was the political
officer OF the viceroy, says the London

V"lng to the refusal or neglect OF
congress to make the necessary an

who made It are now dead and the
attention which 1t would have received
while the Spanish war was fresh in
tne public mind will not be given to IT,
The report, however, Is destined to
lake a high place among the classics
or epidemiology, and the personnel of
the board, which included DR.. Victor

Reed and Z. o. shakespeare, is a suf-
ncient guaranty that the two big vol

uon and conclusion. 1t seems that OF
the soldiers who entered the detention
camps 20.73S, or a fifth Of the whole
number, contracted typhoid. There
were 1880 Deaths record terrible

the disease is not only preventable but

The report states that so widely

How much is Russell Sage worthT'
Many bankers and stockholders in
Wall street have been asking one an
other this question. says the New
York World, for, naturally, the accu-
mutation OF money most deeply inter-
ests them.
The question was provoked By the
report that Mr.. Sage's lawyers are
winding up his affairs and that the
dean OF the street, who Is SO years
old and whose health is not the best,
will retire from business absolutely as
soon as he can.
The answers to the question varied
greatly. The few who have some ac-
quaintance with the veterans hnan-
cial affairs fixed his fortune as $685.
0O0.eO0; most estimated 1t at twice
that amount; many guessed that he
had piled up S100,0OO,O00. All agreed
that Russell Sage can. at shorter no
tice. lay his hand on more ready cash
than any man In this country. barring
John d. Rockefeller.
mo man in America has been more
secretive nor more reliant In business
than Russell Sage. He has never had
a partner In the street, he has worked
there single-handed and with both
hands. save for the aid Of clerks and
other subordInates. He has never
practiced the modern high finance
It is doubtful II he knows much about
It. He has made money breed money
and he alone has been shepherd OF his
: flock with the golden feeces.
His fortune is the fruit of the pro
, foundest prudence, the extremes
, thrift. He has been fortunate In his
: Investments because he has Away
made sure OF their value before In
} vesting. He has never taken a risl
: when he lent money and he has dom
D little except lend money for the las
: ten years. Always, especially In pan
s icky times, he has received high rate
