A Defense of the American Press.

First of all it must be pointed out
that no press Of any country attains
to that supreme potentiality over
popular opinion which has been
achieved by the press of America.
Were it guilty, as whole, of animus
toward England, the present AMIGA
BILE relations of the two countries
would be impossible of continuance.
The idea intended to be conveyed
will perhaps be clearer to those who
have visited or lived in America, and
have realized with what marvellous
celebrity and strength the public pulse
of that country responds to press
suggestion and agitation-responds
in a way that is apparently quite
foreign to English character. The
extreme sensitiveness Of popular
judgment in the United States has
been to many an able, cultured Amer
ican source of deep concern. They
have seen grave issues, upon which
they believed the future welfare of
the country to depend, tossed and
banded by the flippant influence of
certain sections Of the press that
neither professed nor practiced
moral or political principle. Yet to-
day the majority of those who once
wrung their hands at the lack Of all
sense of moral responsibility exhibit
ed by many American papers have
come to the conclusion that an evo-
luton, greater than they dreamed
of, has been in process, and that out
of evil good has come; for recent
history in America shows that. in the
main, public feeling has been in
fluenced in the right direction by the
methods, however questioned they
may be, of the American press, which
in its vast composition is so hetero-
geneous as to defy all attempts at
analytical generalisms.
There are over two thousand daily
papers published in the United
States, but what / desire particularly
to emphasize is, not SO much their
numerical strength, as their unusual
scope for good or evil. Once this
phase is clearly grasped, it becomes
obvious that Anglo-American friend
ship could not contine to exist if tho
bulk of the news sent from England
to America were impregnated or even
tainted with Anglophobe spirit.-W.
A. M. Goode, in the Empire Review.

"A Little Careless

The number of homicides and
deaths by violence in the United
States in 1905 was 9212, as against
S4S2 in 1904. Suicides, 90S2, as

steam railroads in 1905, 3142; in

An Insight Into His Stinginess.
An insight into Russell Sage's per-
sonality is given by a friend who
said at the time he retired from the
Street."
While many of the stories that are
told of Mr.. Sage's miserly habits and
eccentricities are fictitious, none of
them are exaggerations. 1T would be
almost impossible for anyone to I'M
agine a man more economical and
stingy than he. Although his in.
come is reckoned at $4,000 day, at
least, and some people think 1t is
twice that amount, he has lived at
tho rate of $4,000 year or less, and
his personal expenses have not been
800 a year. That is very liberal
estimate. He had two suits Of
clothes, one for weekdays and the
other for Sunday, and he had worn
them as long as anybody can remem-
ber. He had not bought new over
coat for fifteen or twenty years, and
his hat is quite as old as that If not
older. A few years ago he sent for a
gentleman who had done him favor
and in a confidential way said that
he was going to reward him with a
"tip" that he could work for profit.
Then, to the mant astonishment, Mr..
Sage gave him the address of store
on Seventh avenue where he could
oet shoes for 50 Dair
Ate Free Lunch.
To save time the Western Union
Telegraph Company serves q free
lunch to its operators, and Mr.. Sage
appeared every day at a certain hour.
A seat was kept for him at certain
table up to the last day he came
downtown. He never paid fare on
the elevated railroad, because he was
director, and the ticket takers
had instructions to let him go by
without paying. He invariably helped
himself to newspapers from the stand
at Fiftieth street in the morning
when on his way downtown, and did
the same at Rector street when he
was going home in the afternoon. He
had taken his newspapers for gener-
alton in the same way, of the same
men, and they never dared say a
word about it, He had always COM
PEELED the bootblacks on the elevated
stations to shine his shoes for moth
ing. At first, years ago. they used to
demonstrate. He would climb into one
of the chairs and wait until they had
served him. If they demanded pay
he would threaten to have them put
off the platform.
He has a quiet little country place
down on Long Island, with a good
deal Of lawn but he did not keep the
turf shaved down like his neighbors.
He let the grass grow until 1t was
high enough to make good hay and
then would sell 1t for SO to a livery
stable keeper in the vicinity.

About three weeks after the events re-
