AGED MILLIONAIRE'S DEATH

Vaneed Age..Of Nearly Ninety
Years.

New York, July 23.-Russell
Sage, the New York tnaucier, died
peacefully at his summer home at
Lawrence, L. l.. at 4:3o o'clock
Sunday afternoon in his ninetieth
year. He had no specific illness.
He died apparently Of old age.
Up to the mement that he lost
consciousness Mr.. Sage was bright
and cheerful. He seemed TO have
absolutely no fear for his condition
and was prepared to meet whatever
issue might result.
Mrs. Sage, who had ndrsed her
husband in his illness as well as
through other attacks, personally
answered the inquiries which came
pouring in by telephone, telegraph
and through visits.
Russell Sage expected to live to
be 100 years old and said so. He
boasted that he did not need a holi-
day aid had taken a holiday
only once in his life. That was
after he was so years old.
On his soth birthday anniver
sary, August 4, 1905, he appeared
at his Office and worked hard a
couple OF hours and then drove
away. II was the subject Of COM
ment then that he had not worked
full day.

thought would happen before that
animal was here very long.
There is no telling the extent of
some peoples nerve TO try to OBJ
tain money from the city treasury
to keep in operation an institution
that .s Of as little worth to the peo-
pie Of Chickasha as a whole as the
Carnegie Library has proved to be
1t was wise proposition the city
couDcil made when they said they
would rent part Of the building and
move their Offices up there but I
am Of the opinion there would be
an objection raised to that on the
part Of Mr.. Carnegie. l believe he
still holds an interest in that build
ing and when it is used for any
thing other than a Library there
will be a roar come from him. II
is Just beginning to dawn upon the
majority Of the people in Chickasha
that they were persuaded into maxi
ing an old time investment in the
way Of a gold brick when they got
up against the Library proposition.
OF course they did not realize it as
much until here Of late.
The city needs all the money
they have to pave crossings, build
bridges and when that and numer-
Gus other things are done. that
are a great deal more Necessary, than
the Library. if they have any money
to blow in it will be more satisfac
tory to the taxpayers.
The management of the Library
might start askatingrink in that nice
building. They may make a small
amount Of revenue, that is. the
management Of can have all the
profit of of that out fit and so let

while Miss Cora Laboon, her closest
competitor has I46, 100. These
were the leaders in the race and
both youg ladies did excellent work,
hustling eaiIy and latefor votes and
subscriptions.
Miss Maxey went to work at the
beginning of the contest, and on
horseback canvassed the entire
neighborhood where she lived ask
ing her friends and neighbor
to subscribe for the EXPRESS and
give heI their votes. She was sue
cessful and now every body in and
around Pocasset is on the EXPRESS
weekly mail list, some of them for
ten and twenty years. Not being
satisfied with that she wrote to her
friends far and near and secured
their subscriptions, she got her
friends to buy their goods where
they could get merchants coupons.
This untiring energy was deserving
Of a reward and she received it.
Miss Maxey will be a student at
the High School in Chickasha the
coming session and will doubtless
be rewarded in her studies as she
has beer in this contest.
Miss Laboon also is deserving of
great praise for the good work she
did. She canvassed the rural routes
out Of the city and was especially
successful in securing merchants
coupons. Miss Laboon had the
choice Of the merchants prizes, be

WILL BE HEARD IN COMING ELEc-
TIONS--- EXECUTIVE COMMIT
TEE MAKES DECLARATION
LABOR WILL SUPPORT THE MEN
Who Stand Up For the Rights Of La.
bOr---The Policy is Well
Defined.

Washington. July 27.--The ex.
ecutive committee of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor today
made good its declaration of sever
al months ago to enter politics in
the interest Of trade unions and to
exhort all members and friends of
organized labor to work for the
election to political Office Of men
known TO be favorable TO labor
causes. From the headquarters Of
the Federation the council today
issued its campaign program" ad
dressed to "all organized labor
and friends in the United States
II sets out that the trade union
movement has kept and proposes
to keep pace with rapid changes in
industrial affairs. and that the
working people can not hope to
maintain their rights or a progress
i've position in the varying phases
OF modern society unless they or.
ganize, exercise all those func-
tions. which as workmen and citi-
zens il is their privilege and their
duty to exercise.
1t Is declared that labor makes
no demand upon Government or
society which is not equally accord
ed to all the people Of this conn
try, aud that lit can and will be
satisfied with nothing else"
The proposed campaign is based
spon the allegation that little at
tention has been paid to the enact
ment Of laws prepared by organiz-
ed laber aud presented to Congress
for the relief Of those wrongs and
the attainment Of those rights to
which labor and the common peo-
pie are Justly entitled aud which
are essentially necessary for their
welfare.
The council issues a word of
caution that the movement must
not degenerate into scramble for
Office, bat it should be a detei-
minedeffort free absolutely from par
tisanship Of every kind and charac-
ter to secure the legislation we
deem necessary and which Is essen.
tial to the welfare and happiness of
our people"
1t is especially stated that where
a Congressman or a State Legisla-
tor had proved himself a true
friend to the rights of labor he
should be supported and no candi-
date nominated against him.

A Cnf stnrN.

A true cat story is told by CORE
spondent of the Hartford COurant. A
family moved to a new home twelve
miles from the old one. They gave
their cats to a friend about six miles
from the new home One of them, the
mother cat, remained at her new quar-
ters only a short time, and nothing was
heard from her until recently, when
nearly two years had passed. One
morning she was discovered in the
yard of her old mistress new home in
the city which she had never seen, be-
ing born and raised at the old home
in the country. To the greeting of her
mistress she responded with every
show of affection and delight. OF
course the wanderer was made vel
come. She shows a decided aversion
to being put out of doors at all and
clings with a devOtedness which is
really touching to her old friends.

New Foundations Are Necessary For

integral part Of the history os England
But in selecting the valley of the It.
chen as the site for TIER cathedral the
early builders were Ulwse. The Nor
man cathedral was built upon pretty
solid foundation, but when extensions
were made toward the east the build
ers got into a peaty bog. But if they
could not lay blocks of stOSe on peat
they could pack beechwood logs, filling
in the crevices with chalk, and this
was the foundation for their super
structure. After 500 years in a swamp
the trees decayed in places and drain

Some twelve months ago the whole
of the eastern end beyond the Norman
tower was in daily danger of sudden
collapse. Remedial measures were re-
sorted to not a moment too soon, and
now 10000 must be buried in the
foundations
The first step was to dig out the
foundations, and, curiously enough,
cherry stones and apple pips were un-
earthed as well as Roman and other
pottery When the peat was removed
the water from the gravel beneath
rushed in. During a part of the winter
masons worked in a depth of three
and four feet Of wafer, wh9e a steam
pump drew thousands of gallons an
hour from the area of their labOrs.
Then two divers were obtained, and in
sixteen feet of water they have been
working for some time right beneath
the huge foundations of the cathedral.
Their duty is to remove the peat which
has imprisoned the water in the gravel
for centuries and in its place to deposit
on the gravel bags of portland cement
and grout them in with concrete in or
der to seal down the water again. In |
the water the cement will become as
stone
When the water is sealed the re-
mainder will be pumped out and the
ordinary masons will be able to go
down and build up to the original

bricks The beecn tree trunks will be
removed, and thus for the first time in

How Paris Gets Pure Food.

The maintenance of the "halles," or
public markets, of Paris under strict
municipal control enables the city au-
thorities not only to supervise careful
ly the condition and quality of the food
materials furnished to the 2,7S0O00 in
habitants Of Paris, but to collect and
publish very accurate statistics of the
relative quality of each kind of mate
rial sold from year to year and its
wholesale market value as distributed
to retailers and consumers throughout
the city. 1t is estimated that about so
per cent of the food products brought
into Paris pass through the halles.
The remainder-fruits.v vegetables, etc.
are brought by the greengrocers and
small marketmen, who have their own
gardens and other sources Of supply in
the country and bring in such products
In their own carts, which pass the
gates during the night and early morn
