Charity Which Is Wise.

Some surprise was expressed, when Rus
sell Sage died. at the small attention he
had paid 70 calls for charity. The bulk
Of his fortune, some 100000. was left
to Mrs. Sage to do with as she pleased.
Since she came into this wealth she has
been besieged by appeals from all sorts
sOf charities, worthy and unworthy, but,
without being conspicuous or seeking
advertisements, she has gone about
spending large sums OF money in
ways which she deemed most effcacious.
Securing trained advisers. she has de-
voted her time 10 finding out where
money was most needed and where il
would do the most good. and within the
past year she has succeeded IN getting
rid, wisely, OF about Sl4.O0OOOO
Nothing has been left 70 chance in the
endowments she has made. Each gift has
been carefully considered and based on a
desire worthily to help humanity without
doing any harm. Her latest gift is $780,

Island Of an institute Of pathology, where
research into the problems of disease may
be carried on by experts whose contFibu-

The French Prnrnsitinn.

What seems 10 be one Of the most
vitality important Of all the questions that
are likely to come before The Hague Con
ference is that proposed by France. It IS
as follows.
Article The contracting powers agree that hos
Utilities among them cannot begin without advanced
and U1cGuirCcll notice. having either the form Of
a declaration Of war supported Or facts CT the
form of an ultimatum with conditional daclara-
ton q war.
Article 2 state II war must be communicated
20 neutral powers without delay"
No point that came Up during the
Russo-Japanese war caused more heart
burning discussion than this. It will be
remembered that without any prelimi-
nary notice the japanese torpedo boats
attacked the Russians at Port Arthur
and before the news could reach Korea
another japanese feet attacked two Rus
sian ships Of war i'm the harb0r Of Che
mulpo, and this against the protests Of tho
neutral officers Of Germany and England
There were long arguments about the
action Of the japanese in this matter
and the only result was q conclusion which
seemed 10 be that whatever the jap
anesa did was right, because they won.
But that the nations Of the world did not
believe that Japan had behaved quite gal
lantly in the premises is obvious, and
there seems to be little doubt that this
rule Of the war game will be clearly de-
fined by the powers now assembled. Ger
