WAB Sage has new velvet car

E%S rich and beautiful. with
w. deep, thick pile into which

81 am glad" said woman who has
known Mrs Sage for years. that she
could have those velvet carpets before
she died. In all the years OF her mar
ried life down at the house at No. sos
Fifth avenue she had nothing but
ancient Brussels carpet on her parlor
floor. II was one she had when. she
FIRST went TO keeping house, and had
those great. set medallions In II that
they used to use for carpet patterns
DO years ago. The nap was worn Off
all over II so that the brown warp
showed through. When II finally got
so bad that 1t was impossible to use it
longer mating was put down In the
parlor. as Il long had been In the rest
OF the house. She always used the old
horsehair furniture she had when she
was married, such as one saw in coun-
try parlors 40 years ago, and there
Mere great cracks in the parlor walls
or the house at Forty-second street
which went for years without fixing.
Mrs. Sage suffered from mortihca.
tion at such things just as much as
any other woman would. and I'm glad
she's ablo TO have the velvet carpets
for few years before she dies. But
they came too late to give her much
pleasure. After they had all been put
down and the furniture was In place
she walked through the house observ-
ing and admirlng, and then sat down
and cried. She said not a word in eX-
planation. but II was easy to under.
stand. She was thinking of all the
stinted years when she might have en-.
Joyed such things. and now she has
them when she Is too old to care very
much.
There scarcely is a day that Mrs
Sage does not weep" continued this
old friend OF hers. "She simply sits
and cries at the intolerable burden of
having $65.000.000 on her sroulders, at
the burden Of distributing that huge
fortune in the way that will do the
most good. She is so years old and
has a New England conscience. She
wants to do just the rlgld thing with
ST all. and II requires an amount Of
thought and study and imposes a
feeling OF responsibility that is hard
on an old woman who only wants a
quiet corner to spend her few remain
ing years in
NHRS. SAGE has aged very much
lW since her husbands death. She has
grown thin, pale, bent and wrinkled.
Aside from the natural grief over Mr..
Sages death. Mrs Sage was plunged
almost instantly into a storm of ap-
peals which amounted TO a persecu-
tion. Her mail for some years before
Mr. Sage's death had amounted to be
tween 40 and 90 letters day. II
Ieaped instantly to 900 a day. and the
entire surplus was appeals for money.
Within two months after MIR. Sage's
death 1000 letters were carted away
from her house unopened Two secre-
tarles work night and day almost TO
handle Mrs. Sage's private mail. If
she attempted to read ten per cent. of
Il personally she would be able TO do
nothing else.
At fsrst she tried conscientiously to

n NE woman who knew Mrs. Sage

at No. SOC Fifth avenue declares that
she never had more than $50 a week
to run that house and pay all her own
expenses. Some OF her earliest expen-
ditures OF money after she became a
widow are rather pathetic to one who
can read between the lines. One OF
them was TO remove the remains OF
her grandparents on her fathers side
from their almost forgotten burial
place on farm near Troy to the fam

THE YOUNG REPUBLICAN.

In a business sense the young voters
who have come forward since 1904 have
more at stake than any other class In
rendering right decision. Their ac-
tive lives are ahead. They have more
years to live, and are now laying the
foundations Of their business careers
National policies and conditions are Of
the highest consequence to them Per-
haps they are farmers. If So let them
ask the older generation how farmers
Jared under the last Democratic admin
istration. Let them take the market
reports OF to-day and compare them
with the prices that prevailed when Mr..
Bryan made his crusade for free silver
and hurled defiance at President Cleve-
land because he stood by the gold
standard. At the same time Bryan de-
nounced the Republican party for Its
protectionist as well as sound money
position. Perhaps the first voter Is to
engage In manufacturing or mining, ~
wage-earner or otherwise. Does he
want his American rate Of wages and
the industry he chooses reasonably pro-
tected against foreign competitionf IL
he does Mr.. Bryan's leadership Will
take him In the opposite direction

The United States has come into pos.
session of the Philippines and all the
political and strategical responsibilities
entailed by this movement. The particl-
patton I'm, and suppression Of, the Boxer
rebellion. the expanding recognition Of
the supreme Importance to the future
)f American trade, of the open door, the
realization that, with the exception Of
Japan. no country Is so well situated
as the United States industrially and
! geographically, to make the most and
the best Of the development Of China.
These and other events have trans
formed American Indifference to the
fortunes of the Far East into a real,
live, tingling and vigilant concern.
Logical numerical Events.
1t did not need the Chinese boycott
OF American goods, or the outbreak OF
the trouble with japan over the immi-
grafton question. to convince an impair
tial onlooker that Americas relations
with the powers Of the Far East would,
before long. be more immediate, Of
greater moment and possibly Of greater
hazard than our relations with the
powers Of Europe. The American fleet
has foreshadowed the systematic asser-
ton Of American power In the Pacific
American interests in that ocean, COM
mercial, political and territorial, have
been neglected far too long.
Father of the Philippines.
Mr. Taft is in a sense the father OF
the Philippines. 1t has been his kindly,
constructive statesman's hand that
evolved order out Of their original
chaos. In his report submitted to Con-
gress. as a result Of his visit to the
Philippines to be present at the opening
Of their first Assembly, he made four
recommendations. First-action by Con-
gress admitting to the United States
Philippine products under such condi-
lions that they would not interfere
with American tobacco and sugar in
dustrles; second, the removal Of re-
strictions as to acquiring mining claims
and lands; third, further legislation
authorizing the government to carry
on an agricultural bank, which Is now
authorized only as a private enterprise:
fourth. the repeal Of the law applying
to the Islands the coastwise laws Of
the United States.
Philosophy of Developm emit.
Our nation has grown by obeying the
instinct Of development. We are to-day
entitled to be called Greater America.
but that greatness will be lost IL we
forget the political philosophy which
has made us great-expansion Of Amer
lean thought, territory. mechanical skill,
civilization and philosophy. This Is an
auspicious time for the creation and de-
velopment Of our export trade. The I'M
explored and undeveloped markets OF
Asia furnish the opportunity. All other
fields have been occupied, and to at
tempt to wrest them from other nations
would be Of doubtful expediency. In
the Orient the commercial possibilities
exceed the dreams of the Optimist.
Are the American people ready to
abandon such a situation and leave 1t
to the mercy Of the Democratic party
with It's failure Of fifty years looking
at us from the past?

The chief has had the best shots
of the department practicing for two

who are the best executioners. Maj.
Bauder was ordered to select the
best marksmen yesterday afternoon
and detail four to the Hide Park
district, two to the Austin, two to the
north side and two more to the west
side. These men will sally forth
with enough ammunition for fifty
shots each, and each is expected to
find and kill at least ten dogs with.
out muszles. Perhaps they will do
better. The chief expects them to-,
! The cause of this order is the large
number of persons who have recently
been bitten. One day last week the
police department received reports
showing that thirteen persons, most

They can" he replied, "and they

, Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. B.
No incident worthy Of note marked
the day at Fairyiew today. Only a
few callers journeyed, out In the
sweltering sun and these, for the
most part, came merely to pay their
respects. ~
Mr.. Bryan was not advised of the
causes which yesterday prevented
his unanimous election OF the typo
graphical union at Lincoln along with
Governor Sheldon, and he was disin-
clined to discuss the matter. He
stated that some time. ago a delega-
tion of the central labor union, with
which the typographical union is al
lied, had visited his home and pre-
sented him with resolutions express
ing confidence in him. It was said
tonight that trade reasons and a de.
sire to avoid poIitisc were factors
which controlled those offering OBJ
jections.
