AN o1D o4sE IND 4 HARD ONE

AN OLD CASE IND 4 HARD ONE
 While Russell Sage lived many told him what to do with his money. He didn't seem to pay any attention to them, and left most of his money to Mrs. Sage, Now she is getting much advice as to what to do with it. One of the things she is told she ought to do is to give William H. Laidlaw enough to carry him to his grave in as much comfort as money can give him MT. Laidlaw is the man whom, eight or nine years ago, MT. Sage held be- tween himself and an exploding bomb. Mir Laidlaw was badly injured, and has since been trying to get $25,OO0 out of the Sage millions. He has exhaust ed his own small resources in seeking justice from Sage, lives in little New York flat, where he is cared for by two sisters, and is only able to take short walk with the aid of friend on good days. He recently said this: Although he had grabbed me and saved his own life by thrusting me in between himself and the Norcross bomb and although he knew that I had thereby been rem dered incapable of any active work for the remainder of my life, yet neither he nor any member of his family ever sent me word of comfort or condolence, either when I lay helpless in St. Vim cents hospital for six months or after ward. MT. Sage never even sent word to me that he was sorry that in his fright and excitement I had been in- tured in his office. It was not until long after, when I realized that I need not expect any voluntary assistance from him, that I brought suit for damages. I shall always have the satisfaction of knowing that the two juries who heard the facts in the case gave me verdicts for damages.
 The general opinion will be that Mrs, Sage cannot spend a small part of the large sum that has been left her better than in providing for MT. Laidlaw.

"FIDDLING BOB"

Won His First Political BZattle Wsth
 the Retort Silent-Lover of Joke.
 Ex-Governor Bob Ttaylor of Tten- nessee won his first political race by the retort silent, combined with the quip courteous. He was running for Congress in the First District, before that carried in the vest pocket of his opponent, A. H. Pettibone, who, as a carpet bagger" from Michigan, seized that Tenneehhee district in reconstruc- tion days and declined to loosen his grip. Knowing Bob's fondness for iddling, Pettibone sought to make mock of young Taylor, at a joint de- bate, by going through the motions of a country "hoe down" fiddler. When Bob's turn came he held up to the view of the gathering an exceedingly ancient carpet bag with "A. H. F., Michigan" thereon in large, lamp black letters. Bob was Elected.
 Because of his Federal off1ce-pen- sion agent at Knoxville, Tenn-Bob Taylor refused to appear before the nominating convention of 1886 and boost his own chances; hence, decided efforts were made by friends of other candidates to down" him. Among other yarns calculated to injure Tay-

rrrnUsEAs1r NOT CASH.

The talk is that Mir. John c. Collins of this city will collect money needed to give the Bryan reception the proper color. The Sun reports that the an- nouncement of the employment of MT. Collins to dig out subscriptions was somewhat of surprise, in view of the impression given out by the commit tee during the last two weeks that the enthusiasm of every State in the Union to take part in the reception and to contribute to the expense of it was so great that one of the chief difficult ties of the finance committee would be to refuse money without hurting the feelings of those who offered it.
 Enthusiasm is enthusiasm, and money is money, so there need be no surprise that some of the practical folks in the Bryan business don't dare to rely wholly on enthusiasm. They are wise. The money wanted will doubtless be got. MT. Collins can get it if anybody can. When that is se- cured the enthusiasm can be turned on full force again. It does seem a pity that there should have to be anything sordid about such celebration, but things are strangely mixed in this world.
