st. Petersburg, Aug. 27.-The I'M
successful attempt on the life of Pre-
mier Stolypin, with it's sickening use
less slaughter of 81 persons, was fol-
lowed Sunday night by another revo-
lutionary outrage in which General
Min, commander of the Seminovsky
guard regiment, and who since his
promotion TO be general has been
attached as personal adjutant to the
suite of the emperor, was killed on
the station platform at Peterhof by a
young woman, who fred five shots

This was the third successive at

revolt last December ON account OF
stern repressive measures practiced
by a battalion under his command,
and especially for the wholesale exc
cution of persons condemned by
drumhead courtmartial for being
caught with arms in their hands.
General Min was returning from his
summer residence in Peterhof and
had just greeted his wife and daugh-
ter on the platform when young wo-
man-almost q girl-approached from
behind and fired two shots into his
back and then three more into his
body as it sank to the ground. Fur
Their shots were prevented by Nine.

SPORTING NEWS.

One of the most remarkable features
of the major league baseball season
of 1906 is a wonderful August run of
victories for the two teams represent
ing Chicago in the National and Amer
lean leagues. The Nationals, under
Husk Chance, have been the leagues
leaders all season and with their re-
cent run of victories have practically
cinched the pennant. But by a still
more marvellous squirt, in which the
two teams formerly at the top of the
league race have been their principal
opponents, the " lite Sox have forged
far into the lead of the bunch and
are now not only regarded as pennant
possibilities, but as pennant probable
tiles.

and cleverer than his associates and
who seemed to be pleased to have other
people spend their change. while he
spent nothing.
In the matter Of spending small
amounts, Mr.. Sage was a joke among
the hilarious. quick -witted, energetic
entrancingly interesting crowd of stock
brokers, market operators, financiers.
sporting swells, merchants. dabblers
and respectable, staid citizens, who
congrcgated nightly at the old Wind
sor. and where Sage always showed up
for at least a little while every even
ing during the SOS. for example. and
down at the Hoffman House, where the
crowd was a little more light and flip
pant and transftory.
Yates. Bennett. Flower. Joslyn, Bel
den. Sage, KEene, Gould-such men
were to be seen each evening on saun
tering around the Windsor lobby, and
host more.
Sometimes private sales were ar
ranged right there and then that sent
the figures of the market skying up
ward or tobogganing downward, ac-
cording to what was doing. It was
the solid aftermath of the 5 o'clock
closing Of the stock exchange. 1t was
the arena where Sage and Gould and
many of the powers of the street lolled
around in the evening. said important
things, and sometimes did astounding
things.
Down in the Hoffman House. where
David B. Hill lived. where the Bruins
wick and Delmonico's were near by,
and the swift horsy crowd, Harvey
Durant. Delaney Kane, A. H. Hummel
Charley Bacon, the Rathbones, the
smart set. and indiscriminate roister-
ers hung out, there was often a sym
pathetic flutter as stocks were talked
over.
But up at the Windsor was the spot
where things happened. II anything
unusual was expected, the newspapers
sent their trusted men of the street"
up to the Windsor You might drop in
the Amen bench. where you would find
half dozen millionaires, including
Tom Platt General Arthur. Andrew D.
White, Frank Hiscock, politicians, men
of affairs, who were talking and could
give you the gist of what was going
to happen in finance or politics. You
might look in at Delmonicos, or the
Brunswick, or the Hoffman House, but
you'd find the news all ready for you
up at the reliable and substantial old
Windsor. There was the real crowd
that regulated the turning and the
revolutions of the financial armament.
But you never felt sure thet you had
solved the problem until you had To-
Gated your Uncle Russell. and knew
just what. he was going to do or had
done in the particular question that alb.
sorbed attention that particular even

especially by George Gould, who has
strong sense of humor. If you missed
Uncle Russell downtown, IL he were
too busy to see you for few moments
during the morning, you could always
catch him at lunch with the Goulds He
must have saved as much as dollar
or two a week on what he might have
otherwise bought for lunches in that
way. and Gould could stand It, They
had enough lunch brought In at any
rate.
Again. Mr.. Sage would never go
through the elevated railroad gate
first. That would mean that he. would
have to pull out some OF the tickets
he always carried and perhaps deposit
one for you as well as himself He
habitually permitted you to go through
the gate first, and the probabilities
were that you would deposit a ticket
for him and he would ride ON It, He
owned u great part OF the stock of
the elevated roads at the time and Of
course the tickets he carried In his
pockets cost him nothing. But IL you
bought a ticket for him, that was so
much more money for the earnings of
the road.

He never missed a chance for this
sort OF thing. 1t came as a natural
reflex action in the regular events of
his daily life, and, just as the drops of
water wears away the stone, these
perennial, constant-fowing small ac-
cretions to his wealth just as surely
kept on building up his fortune He
could no more help getting richer and
richer as the days went by than he
could help becoming thirsty on a hot
day.
Sage had the pawnbroker instinct
and his early life and youth, STEPPED
IN sharp bargaining and the wiles of
country trading up In Troy. n. Y, help
ing him to enjoyment when he saw
the person with whom he was trading
--fostered and solidif1ed that predoni-
nant characteristic OF his physical and
mental equipment.
His love was money making 1t con-
surned the bulk of his wakeful exist
ence. 1t guided every move he made
and every thought that passed his
mind. Similar to the habit of Cyrus
W. Field, he never carried any change
in his pocket-a quarter would be a
large ind. Similar to the chronic par
sImony and penuriousness OF Lloyd
Tevis, he would have an old umbrella
repaired and hunt out cheap shop for
the Job, instead of buying new one.

expended on him availed You nothing,
however, unless 1t was an opportunity
