MUSTERED OUT AT NINETY.

The death Of Russell Sage of
New York, at the age of ninety,
ends the career of man in many
respects a model. His private life
was marked bysimplicity,e conomy,
energy and enterprise. He had
no expensive or debasing habits.
Worth probably one hundred mil
lions, his personal expenses were
less than those of some of his en-
ployees. Not that he was penuri-
GUS. He was liberal. But he
would not waste time to gourman-
die, nor would he fritter away his
hours in the indulgence Of social
inanities. He had much Of the
old stole in him. He appreciated
a good body we'll kept, and ate to
promote health and long life His
habits of dress were simple. Many
a dude, with scarcely enough gray
matter in his dome to keep him
from the asylum, paid more for a
single suit than this builder of.
colleges and hospitals, and the
owner Of millions spent for the
three suits which he bought each
year Of his life, for himself. We
admire his simple habits. We
commend his personal thrift to.
the generation Of young men who
would succeed in enjoying a pro-
slonged youth, and who would en-
joy a well preserved old age. He
loved to make money. 1t was a
passion with him. But money
never tempted him into the ex-
travagances which Drain the Viitali-;
" Of 80 many Of our wealthy
people. We. hope the public which
gave him his opportunity to ac-
|quire wealth, viii now receive
back its requests BY way Of the
founding of other colleges and
hospitals. Tin this way be can live
on forever In the hearts and lives
Iof the people who were iii the
broadest sense his kinsmen.

Then the door opened wider.
Colonel John experienced queer

across the door-sill and entered the
house.
He found himself in plainly fur

No wonder then, Worden was eager
to put him out of the way-Mollie as
the colonel's widow would be a pos
sible prize for him TO win.
Colonel John had these things on
his mind as he and the sergeant walk
ed along the streets of Atlanta behind
their sable guide.
The railroads had been crippled
ere Atlanta fell. but Shermans men
were now engaged in building them
up and defending them.
All the vast supplies for his army
must come by rail from Chattanooga.
and until these had been accumulated.

headquarters.

Volonel John to the city on this night
when he would have liked nothing bet
ter than to rest after the great exer-
ton of the day, he seemed bent upon
carrying out the request of the note.
Beyond making sure that he was
armed. and that Sergeant Shanks was
in the same condition, he did not APP

attendant circumstances.
