Bonus ought to be "bonum," since
1t Is evidently intended to NEAR "a

neuter. not masculine. The word is

MRS. SAGE'S SEVENTY MIL
LIONS.

The most interesting comment
that has appeared on the will of
Russell Sage is from Mrs. Sage's
friend and physician, DR.. J.. Carl
Schmuck. The doctor says: I'm
leaving his fortune to Mrs. Sage
Mr.. Sage has left it to charity.
She will distribute it. What can
she do but give it away? How
could a woman Of such advanced
years spend a thousandth part
of it herself?"
OF course, those questions car
ry their own answer. Mrs. Sage
might hoard the seventy millions
for the mere pleasure Of boarding
it if this brought her satisfaction,
but it would certainly be impossl-
BILE for her to spend such a fort
une in the qualification of her per-
sonal wants. The doctor is
affected by the logic of the situa-
ton, like others who have not
been on such intimate terms as he
with the Sage family. At the
same time he offers the following
explanation of the motives BY
which Mr.. Sage was governed in
making his will: HE knew that
his wife had made a study of
philanthropy and that she knew
much more than he did about it.
He knew that in leaving it to her
she would take advantage of this
study she had made and distribute
the fortune wisely. Despite the
impression the will may have
given, the fortune has been left
to charity"
The confession that is involved
in this opinion or testimony is a
curious one. but the present dis
position of the property is such
as to indicate the belief that it
would go to charitable uses.
There were few private requests,
and these were of small! amount.
Apparently there was no intention
on the testator's part to enrich his
relatives, and he himself must
have realized the fact that a
woman of Mrs. Sage's age could
get very little personal enjoyment
out of the seventy millions.
Whatever his object may have
been, however, there can be no
denying the obvious truth that the
will imposes a heavy task upon
his widow. This would be true
if her only purpose was to pre-
serve the estate. If, on the other
hand, it is her desire to distribute
it for the public good, she is still
likely to meet with many perplex-
tiles and with a very burdensome
outpouring of petitions and adj

The Diver Bird.

A Dantzic correspondent writes:
While swimming on a lake with her
brood Of five a diver bird was shot and,
although .mortally wounded, collected
her young ones and dived for their
safety. When her dead body 1oated to
the surface the five little birds were
still clinging with their beaks to her
wings, but all had been suffocated by
remaining too long under the water

methods by claim to superior knowledge
which is miraculous?

GARFIELD WOULD
DESTROY THE
OIL MONOPOLY

Washington, Dec. 10.-The annual report
OF Commissioner of Corporations James
II. Garfield, made public yesterday, de-
votes special attention to the investiga-
tions OF the transportation Of oil and the
monopoly which is held by the Standard
OIL company. Denial Of the right TO en-
gage in interstate commerce is suggested
as the penalty for proved violations of
the law. The report says the work OF
the year strikingly demonstrates the value
OF efficient publicity for the correction OF
corporate abuses.
'During the investigation OF the oil in
dustry." says the report, lit was discov-
cred that very widespread system OF
railway discrimination existed in favor OF
the Standard OIL company. affecting a
very large proportion Of the country and
resulting substantially In giving TO the
Standard Oil company an overw helming
advantage In transportation In almost all
sections Of the country. that this system
had been in existence for number OF
years, and that largely by virtue OF II
the Standard had been able 10 restrict OF
eliminate competition throughout many
parts OF the country and thereafter reap
the benefits OF monopoly.
These railway determinations took va
rious forms, often very ingenious IN tneil
nature, and so skilfully concealed that
their existence was very rarely suspected
even by the active competitors OF the
Standard. although such competitors
knew that in general they were doing
business at disadvantage.
During the fiscal year indictments con-
tanning Sl92 counts were returned by the
various grand juries, as the result OF this
investigation.
"a most striking and important result
Immediately followed the investigation oil
the bureau. The railroads cancelled sub
stantially oil the secret rates, Illegal or
improper determinations, and In many
cases the Determinations In open rates,
The shippers OF oil advise tho bureau that
for the first time In many years. they
are now rapidly obtaining equality oil
treatment from the transportation COM
panies,
Work on the other phases Of the oil
industry and the Investigations OF the to-
bacco, steel. sugar and coal industries are
well advanced Special reports VIII be
made I'm due time"
Commissioner Garfield urges again the
necessity for tho establishment OF federal
inspection and supervision of the greater
Industrial corporations engaged In inter
state and foreign commerce. lie says IL
will not interfere with the power and au-
thority OF the states over the corpora
tions created under state laws, and Is not
an invasion OF private rights, but merely
will restore individual responsibility and
prevent the corporation from being the
hiding place OF the irresponsible. dishon-
