A Style of Courtesy Not Cultivated
In These Days.
It is often remarked that with the

time to cultivate. This is illustrated
in the following letter:

The Flower Man In japan,

In Japan when you furnish your
house you send for the flower man,
who comes and decorates your home
with plants. This is always done as a
matter Of health. The flower man
brings his palms, his ounce trees, his
Towering shrubs and his great spread
ing oriental flowers and bestows them
about the house. II any n is Ill he
selects the flowers carefully, taking
care to get a certain kind of scent, for
there are people to whom scents act as

The verb ''collar" has long been used
transitively, meaning to "seize or take
hold Of a person by the collar; more
loosely, to capture" The verb was
thus employed early in the seventeenth
century. Steele, in the Guardian, No.
"a, wrote, "If you advised him not to
collar any man." Other instances are:

THE MODEL ROBBED
Nov Maket on East Main Street Vis-
 tBd by Thieves Last Night

Thieves entered the Model market m the Frederick block, East Main street. last night, and made of with 2 few cents in change and regaled themselves with a quantity of ba- nanas and other palatable things with which the market abounds in plenty. Entrance was effected by shattering light of glass in the rear door, A hammer, evidently the i'm plement used to batter down the bar Tier. was found outside the doorway this morning. While the value of the things taken is small, it shows how necessary 1t is to be on the alert for midnight providers, for the town is full of them and were 1t not for the vigilance of the police nothing that could be moved by these jokers would be safe. In all probability 1t was the work of a band of youthful aspirants for berths in the penitentiary, that appears to be operating in all parts of the town for some time past.

CHASED BY D0cs
Small Black SpsnIsl Bt a GhI and
 There Was Great Excitement

North Elm street folks were thrown into fever of excitment this after noon by the reported serious biting by a dog belonging to the Culhane fam lily of Lucy Grachosky, the ten year old daughter of Mir and Mrs Alexan- der Grashosky, who lives near the Culuhane residence. Officer Donahue heard of the trouble and upon inves- tigation learned that t was so, al- though tho bite didn't amount to any thing. Dr Moriarty was called and cauterized the wound, which was on the girls left hip. and was not any worse than m ordinary pin scratch. If received in any other way, nobody would mind 1t all all. The dog is a small little black fellow of the spaniel species and was having snooze under lounge in the back kitchen when he .heard commotion in the back yard and rushed to see what was up. He found half H dog en youngsters cutting up under his masters grape arbcr and immediate ly proceeded to eject them. Of course the children ran and this gave the dog encouragement and he pur- sued them with a vengeance, catch ing up with the Grachosky girl and giving her a nip that made her quick en her gait. The child was more scared than hurt, and so were her parents and the neighbors. There Is nothing the matter with the dog and so long as this is so, nothing will come of the scratch, except that 1t ought to be warning to all young sters to give that Culhane grape ar- Der wide berth.

CITY SHERIFF SMITH.
His Friends Inaugurated a Boom to
 Send Him Higher To-day.

A boom for City Sheriff Matthew J. smith for county sheriff was started to-day. Local democrats see in the political situation great chance to elect the full ticket. In the squabbles between prominent republicans. not to speak of those in the rank and file of the party at all, there is an oppor- tun1ty for the democratic party in the county as was never before And for the office of county sheriff the party thinks that in MT Smith there Is a winner.
 There never was unanimity be- tween the New Haven end and the Waterbury end of the republican par ty, but the breach was never so wide as 1t is this summer and before fall 1t is said it will be wider. Sheriff Durham has all New Haven city and the lower part of the Naugatuck val ley by the ear. while County Com missioner Jacob Walter believes he has stronghold in Waterbury. On other matters there is quite as much difference between leading republi- licans. and the local democrats say that this fall the entire democratic ticket will be elected. There are number of prominent men who would not miss few hundred dollars each back of Mir Smith. PracttehA $so,bssfS a new man in politics and, therefore, the safest kind to launch for an im- portant office on an occasion of this kind. With the Elks. the Eagles, the Foresters and one or two other large and influential societies back of him a few of which have established rep utations for sticking to their breth- ren and helping them up the ladder, City Sheriff Smith is said to be the ideal candidate.

RUSSELL sAcE's BURIAL.
Great Fortune of Millionaire Left te
 His Wife.

Great Fortune of Millionaire Left ts
 His Wife.
 NEW YORK, July 24.-"God bless you, Olivia"
 With his eyes already dimmed by approaching death, Russell Sage utter ed these words when Mrs. Margaret Olivia Sage, his wife, sat by his side in the Lawrence mansion flaming him. This little, simple sentence, according to George N. Gardner, one of Russell Sage's boyhood friends, was the last utterance made on earth by the most extraordinary of all American million aires.
 MT. Gardner was also the authority for the statement that MT. Sage had a slight premonitlon of his death twen. ty-four hours before it arrived.
 The millions of Russell Sage have been for the greater part bequeathed without condition to the widow. The fortune of the great financier will amount to nearly $1OO,OO0OO0 on the most conservative estimate.
 It may be stated on absolutely re- liable authority that the reports to the effect that Mir. Sage made huge be. quests to charitable institutions are not true.
 According to present arrangements the funeral will take place at o'clock today in the First Presbyterian church at Far Rockaway, where Mir. and Mrs. Sage attended when they occupied their summer home. T The Rev. Dr. Leetch. pastor of the church, will con. duct the service, assisted by other clergymen, including the pastor of the West Presbyterian church, New York. of which Mir. and Mrs. Sage were mem- bers. After the funeral the body, will be taken to Oakwood ceinetery, in Troy, for burial by the side of Mir. Sage's first wife.
 The pail bearers will be William P. Dixon of Cedarhurst, Ebert A. Brinck. erhoff of Far Rockaway. George C. Rand of Lawrence. Newbold T. Law renee of Lawrence; Albro !. Newton of Far Rockaway. John l.. Lawrence. Franklin B. Lord and Dr. J. Carl Schmuck, all of Lawrence.
