A Woman to be Pltied.
There seems to be disposition in
some quarters to envy Mrs. Russell
Sage because. she has suddenly come
into possession of actually untold mil
lions. Whether she has really $780,
100000 or twice that sum or three
times that, as reported yesterday, the
result cannot be very different. In
any case, from now on she has had
thrust upon her load that will not
only be a burden in itself but will
make all life burden for her.
The moral responsibility of possess
Ing money enough to do what her for
tune can accomplish is appalling to
one who takes life seriously. The task
Is beyond performance and there must

al. Nothing Is more difficult than put
ting into effect sincerely good inten-
lions when expressed in large sums Of
money.
Then there are practical difficulties

there is no knowing the effect of such
action on their value or on the inter-
ests themselves. If Mrs. Sage should
decide to call her. husbands loans to-
day and to turn his securities into
cash before night, there would be a
panic in Wall street that might set
back all the industries of this busy
nation.
All this power and opportunity
