COLOR COM BtNATIONS,
How They Were CIeverly Used In
 Exposing a Fraud

Tn large factory in which were em- plOyed several hundred persons ole of the w0rkmen in welding his hammer carctcsSly allowed it 10 slip from his hand. It few halfway across the room and struck q fellow workman in the left eye The man aftcrward ayer"cd that his eye was blinded by the blow, although q careful examination failed to reveal any injury, there being not q scratch visible
 He brought d suit in the courts for compensation for the loss of half of his eyesisht and refused all offers of compromise Under the law the owner of the factory was responsible for an injury resulting from an accident of this kind.
 The day of the trial arrived, and in open court an eminent oculist, retained by the defense. examined the alleged injured member and gave it as his opinion that it was as good as the right eye.
 Upon the plaintiffs loud protest of his inability to see with bis left eye the oeulist proved him perjurer and satisfied the court and jury of the fal- sity of his claim. He did it simply by knowing that the colors green and red combined make black.
 He prepared black card, on which a few words were written ill green ink. Then the plaintiff was ordered to put on pair of spectacles with two differ ent glasses, the one for the right eye being red, and the che for the left eye consisting of ordinary glass. Then the card was handed to him, and he was ordered to read the writing on 1t through the glasses.
 This he did without hesitation, and the cheat was at once exposed. Owing to the effect which the colored glass must have had upon the green writing the sound right eye fitted with the red glass could not possibly distinguish the writing on the black surface of the card, while the left eye, which he pre- tended was sightless, was the one with which the reading had to be done London Standard.

CHINESE TO DIG THE CANAL
The Plan the Last Resort Of the
Panama Commission.

Washington, July 23-Chinese
labor is to be used, after all, In build.
ing the Panama canal. The canal
commission, at its last meeting on
the Isthmus, considered the advisa.
bility OF importing coolies from the
Far East. As a result the matter
was referred to Attorney General
Moody to determine whether such
action Is prohibited by the Chinese
exclusion and contract labor laws.
Ii is not believed either law applies
to the canal zone.
This step Is one the authorities
have discussed for months, and Is to
be taken now only as q last resort.
American workingmen will not &C.
cept employment as laborers in the
canal zone; negroes OF the West In.
dian islands have failed to render
satisfactory service; natives OF
Northern Spain, who have been In.
duced to go to the zone, are twice as
effective as negroes, but enough OF
them cannot be secured.
The commission is compelled there.
fore to fall back upon Chinese, and
arrangements are being made to i'm
port two shiploads. II they prove
as Industrious as elsewhere and
show no Ill effects from living In the
tropical climate more men OF the
same race will be brought to the
isthmus.
The commission is now consider.
ing how to arrange for the employ.
ment OF Chinese. II Is possible a
government agent may be sent to
China empowered to employ the
natives, but it is more likely that
co ntractors will be called upon to
deliver q special number at Panama.

SAGE
The funeral services will be held on
Wednesday at the West Presbyterian
church in West Forty-Second street
of which Mr.. Sage had been member
for many years. The interment will
take place in Troy on Thursday. Mrs,
Sage and her brother. Col. Slocum, are
named as the executors Of Mr.. Sage's
will.
Russell Sage, multimillionaire ami
Nestor of American financiers, was
born on August 4, 1916. in Verona
Oneida county, N Y, where his pa
rents, Elisha and Pendence Sage, mem.
bers of little company of pioneers
from Connecticut, had halted while
on their westward march In quest Of a
homestead. At the age Of IL Russell
Sage began his career as errand boy In
the grocery store of his brother Henry
in Troy. At the age of % he estab-
lished wholesale grocery of his OWL
in that place. In 1857 the young
merchant had accumulated a fortune
Of about s500,00O-a great sum in those
days, and began to retire from active
business. He had already become in
terested in railways, his first transac-
ton of this character being loan IL
the Lacrosse railroad company, which
led to further transactions resulting in
his acquiring large interests In the
roads now forming the Chicago, Mil.
waukee and st. Paul system, of which
he became vice president. This deter.
/ mined Mr. Sage to devote his time tc
business in Wall street, and in 1867
he opened his first Office in New York
About that time he formed an associa.
ton with Jay Gould which continued
several years.
In 1867 he originated the present
method of trading puts" calls" and
''straddles," in which he dealt later or
colossal scale
When he purchased seat on the
New York stock exchange, in 1874, il
provided that he never appear on tht
floor of the exchange.
Only once, 1t is said, did Mr.. Sage
| experience a tremendous loss which
would have shaken another man, but
from which he emerged with conf
dence shaken. From that memorable
day in 1884, when the great failure
of Grant and Ward was announced
resulting in the loss to Mr.. Sage OF
about six million, on long line OF
puts" his operations necessitated
the possession of a vast amount OF
ready capital and Mr.. Sage always
kept his resources so well in hand
that on any emergency he was able
to command almost limitless funds.
At the time of death !r Sage wai
an officer and director in % great
railroads and telegraph corporations.
For many years Mr.. Sage occupied
in winter an old fashioned brown
stone mansion at 506 Fifth Avenue
from which he was reluctantly com.
PEELED to move about four years ago
owing to the invasion of commerce
His summers were spent at his coun.
try place at Lawrence, where he died
Mr.. Sage was married twice, first, n
1871 to Miss May Wynne, daughter Of
Moses l. Wyane, Of Troy. His wifi
died In New York city In 1867 and tws
years later he married Margaret DIV.
