musician:
There is scarcely an object here
about that does not recall him. The
noisy surf as it rolled in on the beach,
the endless tramp, tramp along the
piazzas did not daunt him. He rose
above the elements. His brass was
more than Il match for the ocean. His
guns Numbered out the "Boulanger

Colonel Watterson closed his re-
marks by paying Il beautiful tribute
to the personal character of the great
bandmaSter, who he said was not only
a great musician. but also one of the
most lOvable of men.

ing to shirk the burdens which are
rightfully theirs although they know
that those burdens must be borne by
others. These men are the ones who
always have the most to say about
the duties which citizens owe to the
state and to the city. They are always
the first to criticisc public officials and
ar" generally too good or too busy to
take any interest in elections. From
developments in Mr.. Minors Office these
tax dodgers appear to be the greatest
and most frequent law-breakers in the
community. They are not only ready
to conceal their property from the as

property is unearthed to make affidavit
that it does not belong to them or that
they owe for more than they possess

of the culprits are willing to add per-

RUSSELL SAGE.

Russell Sage was Il remarkable man.
He deserves mention because he is typ
zeal of Il class not very numerous
among our rich men. There is no man
in American finance who resembles
him in character. Among the very rich
men of the last generation perhaps
Jay Gould was more like him than any
other, and yet Gould was different.
Gould was IL SPECTATOR who initiated
great enterprises as we'll as being Il
money dealer Russell Sage was Il
money-lender pure and simple. He al
lowed others to speculate. He left to
other brains the work of forming great
corporations to carry through large en-
tcrprises. He was content to furnish
the capital at the best rate of interest
obtainablc. While he never undertook
great enterprises, on the other hand
he never juggled with finance. He was
IL thrifty Yankee who made the hoard
ing of money the sole end and aim of
lie. I'feacnerS ana nulEbnltarlanS
will condemn him for his stinginess.
for his failure to enjoy the things that
his great wealth would have procured
for him, for the severity with which
he treated those who worked for him
and for his failure to take IL working
interest in public affairs. His life work
is subject to criticism. He was not
IL type of the best citizen. but he was
IL better type of the rich man than
most of his associates in Wall street.
He was not Il miser, but II follower of
the simple life. He had no sympathy
for vulgar display OF wealth, and his
passion for money making never led
him into lawlcss acts. He may not
have done many generous acts, but he
was never accused of doing an unjust
act. He drove hard bargains but when
he made bargain he kept it.
Many stories have been told Of the
cheapness of his clothes and Of the ri

diculously low prices that he paid for
his meals. but those things only show
that he was content to live simply.
In this age when millionaires do so
many vulgar things in order to parade
their wealth the simple life of a man
like Sage may seem odd. Russell Sage
is an example of a rich man content
to live decent and orderly life. He
resisted the temptations and follies of
wealth and lived to be ninety years of
age. He is simply an example Of q
man who kept his head notwithstand-
ing his immense wealth. His life may
not seem admirable. In it's quiet Or
derby simplicity it may seem unhuman
but if we stop to think we must admit
that his life is preferable to that which
most of our millionaires lead. His home
life was admirable. His devotion to
his family was remarkable. No scam
dial was ever connected with his name
He never gave costly banquets and his
name was never mentioned in connec-
ton with chorus girls. He never went
mTdly dashing around the country in
IL racing car. The great age to which
he lived is convincing testimony that
his personal life was clean. He was
not popular because he loathed the
things that his associates loved, but
when the good and the bad in his life
are both considered people Who give
the matter thought will have to concede
that Russell Sage was Il better man
and Il better citizen than many of those
who We're most fierce in condemning
aim. He was a striking example of an
enormously rich man who was happy
in pursuing a Woodworking, simpl.
