 There was a hot discussion and it developed that the capital stock of the Lackawanna and wyoming Valley and that the road cost about S6,000,000. No one was sure that these figures were correct and there was more or less confusion.
 Finally MT. carrothers said: we have Ss,000.000 worth of bonds and ssoo.o0o worth of stock. Who has the remainder of the stock7 This company puts up all the money that is spent on the road and gets only $s0O,0o0 worth of stock. Why should not this company have all the stock if 1t pays for the road7"
 No one present was enabled to ex- plain the report in detail. The adop- tiop of the report was moved. but John Gregg. one of the directors. said: Be- fore we close want to know from whom the stock of this rapid transit company was purchased. understand that these stocks were purchased from MT, Westinghouse; that this is pri- vate corporation and that Mir.

ALL GOES TO MRS. sAGE.
Not Dollar Lett to Charity by Dead
 Financter.


 Financter.
 New York, July 25.-The World to. morrow will say: Every dollar of Rus sell Sage's great fortune Is left to Mrs. Sage py a win made in 1901. except an insignificant bequest made to Mrs. Fan nie Chapuin, of Oneida, N. r., an only sister, who died two years ago
 The will is to be read at the home of Mrs. Sage today and will be offered for probate immediately. The will will undoubtedly be contested by the Troy relatives of MT. Sage, who will chargs that the 1901 will was made after q mental breakdown on the part of MT. Sage and that Mrs Sage exerted undue influence over him in the distribution of his health.
 Not one dollar of the fortune is left to charity The only contribution MT. Sage ever made during his lifetime for this purpose was when, after a years solicitation by Mrs. Sage. he contrib uted $5O,000 to building wing of the Presbyterian Hospital, of which Mrs. Sage was a vice-president.
 The fortune of MT. Sage. which was pOpularly believed to be S100.00O, ,000 and even thought to be greater by tho best informed financiers of Wall Street, amounts to only about S5O.000.O0O.

Boston Herald.
 King Edwards Mohamredan subjects many times outnumber his Christian subjects. In that fact lies England's chief difficuity in dealing with the re- calcitrant grand Turk. The Sultan Is the of1eial earthly head of the Moslem faith. In political dealings with him extreme care ras to be taken that the pecuiiarly sensitive Mohammedans throughout the east are not offended. A cali from Constantinople in the name of Aliab and his prophet would sum- mon the faithful to arms throughout half the world. Such a call has not been given in our time; for the welfare of humanity may 1t never be given; but it's possibility always confronts the rulers of the British empire.
