Wisconsin State Fair Opens,

MILWAUKEE. WIS, Sept. 1O-One
of the most interesting special features
of the Wisconsin state fair, which OPP
ened here today, is a model Indian viii
lage, composed of Indians from various
Wisconsin reservations. The exhibit
has been arranged at considerable ex-
pense and, it is expected, will prove
one Of the greatest attractions Of the
fair. The racing program is also I'M
usually interesting this year. The ma
chinery exhibit is larger than ever be-
fore and the agricultural and horti-
cultural exhibits are of the usual ex-
cellence. Another interesting feature
will be the daily four-mile relay races
by young women riders. There will
be fireworks every evening during the
five days of the fair.

CHANGES IN BROOKLYN YARD

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Sept 1O-The
navy department has in it's possession
the full plans of the Improvements
which are contemplated at the navy
yard at lyn-imprcvements and
alterations and additions to territory
ing of rs per cent of the cost of the
work of repair and construction at that
naval establishment. 1t is doubtful if
the recommendation for an appropria-
ton for this work will be submitted to
congress at the next session, although
it is regarded as important that at
least part of the total estimate of
$S,000,000 or $9,O00,OO0 be soon avail
able to the end that advantage may
be taken of the present prices attach
ing to certain land, the possession of
which is an important part of the ap-
proved project. The plans contemplate
a Encouragement of the entire plant
at Brooklyn, the extension of the water
front, the construction of piers, and an
assembling of the facilities so that the
work of repair and construction may
be done with less delay and at less
cost than is now the case. 1t is feared
that congress will not be willing to
provide for the changes regarded as
necessary at Brooklyn, and, if it shall
appear that there is a tendency toward
economy in the naval committees, Sec
rotary Bonaparte will not submit the
recommendations for an appropriation.

The Simple Life For Health.

Returning from the heart Of darkest
Africa, where he has been studying
from observation on the spot the diet
and health of the natives, DR.. Sem
springs on a cancerous, dyspeptic, con-
sumptive generation the time worn
prescription to eat less and make it
plain goods. The doctor says that
among the pygmies whom he met with
disease Is quite unknown.
Speaking of cancer more especially,
DR.. Sem says that If civilized man
would eat only plain food and but lit
tie Of that the terrible malady would
disappear The diet cure has often ac-
complished wonders. Experts are more
and more inclining to the view that we
eat ourselves sick and starve our
selves well. What applies to solid food
applies equally to potables, for We
drink too much as often as we eat too
much.

Esperanto at Annapolis,

WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. 10
No one in the navy department ex-
poets for a moment that the academic
board at Annapolis will recommend
the addition to the course Of instruc-
ton for midshipmen of the study Of
Esperanto. The navy department re-
Gently received a proposition from the
advocates of the new tangled language
to impart the information to the stu
dents at Annapolis. 1t was repre-
scented that a complete knowledge of
the subject could be acquired in the
course of five months if the midship-
men were required to give one hour a
day to study and recitation. The
navy department, following the prac-
tice in such cases, has submitted the
question to the authorities at the ma
val academy for consideration and rec
ommendation, without in the least at
tempting to prejudice judgment in that
quarter. Nothing is known of the
policy of those in charge at Annapo-
lis to cause any one to anticipate that
the proposition will be adopted.

Congress of Americanists.

QUEBEC, QUE, Sept. 1O.-The fif-
teenth International congress Of Amer
icanists opened here today. The at
tendance is unusually large and the
program for the sessions of the con-
gress which will last until Saturday,
is especially interesting. The society
of the Americanists is an important
scientific organization, well known in
Europe, but only among scientific men
in this country. The last session was
held in Stuttgart Among the Ameri-
can delegates to the congress are Prof.
w. H. Holmes, director Of the Bureau
of Ethnology, of Washington, D. c..
and DR.. Franz Boas of New York. In
a general way the program deals with
the native races of America, their orr
gin. geographical distribution, history,
physical characteristics, languages, civ
ilization, mythology, religious, morals,
and habits, the Indigenous monuments
and the archaeology of America and
the history of the discovery and Europ-
can occupancy of the new world.

WERE COMPANIONS IN LIFE AND DEATH
nv STRANGE COINCIDENCE BOTH
FELL VICTIMS TO THE
WHITE PLAGUE.

ST CLOUD, MINI, Sept. 10.-Miss
Susan Hemmisch and Miss Lena
Stang young ladies of the little vii
1age of Cold Spring in Stearn county,
we're truly companions in life and
death. Born within two hours Of the
same time. playmates in girlhood and
companions through all their lives,
they died on Sunday. By a strange
and fatal coincidence both were VIC
Tins of the same disease consump-
ton.
Miss Stang was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs George Stang, and died
Sunday morning at o'clock. Miss
Hemmisch was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Nick Hemmisch and died
Sunday evening at o'clock. The
Young ladies were 10 years old. They
we're playmates together, attended the
same school and were companions at
their first holy communion at the
Catholic church. They lived always
at Cold Spring and were inseparable.
This unusual coincidence in death
was further accentuated by the sudden
taking away of the 4-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Kray of
Cold Spring on the same day. On
Sunday morning she was at the death
bed of Miss Stang, who was her aunt
and to whom she was greatly attached
At o'clock she was taken with con-
vulsions, and, after suffering for three
hours, died at II o'clock. The three
deaths have cast a shadow of gloom
bver the village.

The Dual Russell Sage.


The American public thinks OF the
Ate Russell Sage chiefly as a money
maker in Wall street, a man noto-
rious for his peculiar success" and
wealth." but not even noted in any
noble sense. His New York career
began soon after the close Of the civil
war when he appeared on the street
as shy and spare countryman, inter
esting at first merely because of bis
simple habits, cheap dress and shrewd
taciturnity. He remained as simple to
the end as at the beginning. A penny
saved classed with him as more than
two earned, for all the pennies made,
II saved, under usury became more and
more pennies and from pennies mount
ed to scores and millions. This aggre-
eating and multiplying process rea ched
through all bis long life. II none Of
the benefactions Of some multimillion-
aires went to Sage's credit neither can
some of the corruptions, debaucheries,
lawlessness and other scandals of some
other multimillionaires be recalled to
his shame. He kept his money in
motion by methods that were not de-
grading. His investments were gain
full. They ramified into and through
solvent and active courses Of employ
ment, development and production.
Born in poverty, wrenched from school
before his teens, put at labor when he
was but twelve, gathering education
from experience and solely on lines of
contact and competition with men,
economy became his passion and habit
and was that on which he counted for
gain. But the supreme benefit was not
his. 1t was to be found in the diffusion
of his wealth through forces that
brought to others what was Of more
value to them than his money was to
him.
But this is only one picture Of Rus
sell Sage. The other shows him as
the up state public man, identified in
his cOuntry's crisis with affairs which
involved ethical purpose, moral cour-
age and devotion to liberty. In the
village and town and city of Troy
he rose step by step to public impor-
lance and for four years represented
his district in that congress which es-
tablished an indivisible union with
human freedom for it's cornerstone.
From these achievements, in which he
shared forcefully, came the contempt
rary results which broaden and better
our national life. Had his career not ex-
tended beyond the limit Of these earlier
achievements his fame at death had
been more, his usefulness relatively
more and only his notoriety and
wealth" less. His public service was
unique even for America, and the mem
DRY Of it makes page In our political
annals at once interesting and inspir-
ing. In wider sense the memory Of
this Sage is memory Of manhood,
while the memory of the Sage who
died is a memory of mere money mar
kets, to be quickly buried by the dust
Of forgetfulness.
