Mrs. Sage Grows Noble Family Tree

of Salisbury, with the progenitor of
those families, Drogo de Monte, who
fought, under Robert, earl of Moreton,
during the Norman conquest.
In the first pages of the book is
outlined the career of Russell Sage as
statesman, financier and merchant.
Mr.. Sage descended from the found
ers Of the old Connecticut co'ony.
It is through the wife of one of these
Connecticut ancestors, Amos Sage, that
the financier was descended from the
Montagus and noble line. Battle Ab-
hey was the home of direct ancestor
Of Mrs. Amos Sage.
One of the most singular and sirik-
ing facts of the entire record is that
the descendancy of Mr.. Sage has been
traced to the old family of Josselyn,
which in turn formed the ancestry of
Mrs Sage. Josselyn de Bee built the
beautiful castle of the same name, the
remains of which are standing 10 this
day. Battle Abbey is now occupied by
Michael P. Grace of this city, and is
owned by Sir Augustus Webster.
Through Alexander Standish, son Of
Miles, who married the daughter Of
John Alden, Mrs. Sage is a descendant
of the doughty Capt. Miles Stsndish,
who in turn was the direct ancestor Of
Olivin Standish Josselyn, who was the
wife of William Slocum.

Exclusion Laws Wiping Out Chinatown

town, says many of the Cinnamon are
going back to China because of the
liberal policy" of the new government
there. He also ascribes the exodus to
the rigid enforcement of the exclusion
law and to the business depression.
Rich Cinnamon go home,' Tom
Lee says, "and no come back. :lo 9th.
er Cinnamon allowed to come TO take
places"
Years ago Chinatown was one of the
sights of the city. Blu: now it is large
~ a memory. No more does the clink
of the ivory chips or the smell of
burning opium greet the curious,
sightseeing excursionist.
When a Chinaman decides to quit
he does so without much ado. No
moving vans are required to move his
goods. He simply packs his grip and
vamooses. What household utensils
he may own he divides among the
members of his clan whom he leaves
behind, as souvenirs, or else he leaves
them in the room he has occupied-an
unwelcome present to the landlord.
According to Tom Lee, the exclu-
sion law is not only depopulating
Chinatown, but is slowly closing all
the Chinese laundries throughout the
country. Owners of these laundries
can obtain no help, and no purchasers
when they want to retire and go back
to China. Consequently, the lapndries
are closed.

Sexes in Antaoonism.

Woman suffrage has been carried to
an extreme in Bucnos Ayres. An 1tal-
ian woman describes the situation in
the Argentine city: "A sort of recip-
rOcal fear seems to raise an insur-
mountable barrier between the men
and women. Whether at home, in the
street, at banquets and public prom.
enades, in the theaters or schools, the
two sexes, as If by tacit understand
ing, keep each other at a respectful
distance. What most strikes the for
eigner who walks in Buenos Ayres,
whether he traverse the narrow street
where the traffic of foot passengers is
more crowded than in either London
or Paris, or saunter through the broad
avenues where tram cars, carriages.
automobiles pass and repass each
other, is the absence of woman.
She acts, not as an associate of man,
but as a rival, and in the same house
we find an antagonism existing be-
tween husband and wife, mother and
son." The social reformers Of Argen-
tina are beginning to think that wom-

Mrs. Dolls maiden name was Anna

This is the question which is agitat-

its consent to the use of the pension

1T TAKES a million dollars a day to
i satisfy Uncle Sans sweet tooth, be-
cause the average citizen in the Unit
ed States consumes half his own
weight in sugar every year.
These and other interesting facts
are given in statement issued by the
bureau of statistics, which reads more
like fairy tale for children than q
government report.
The total consumption In the
United States in 1907. the latest year
for which the figures are obta1nable,
was 7,OS9,667,975 pounds.
Calculating this enormous total at
the average retail price of 5h cents
per pound" the report states, 1--WE get
a total of $372,oo0,ooo as its cost to
the consumer, or more than a million
dollars for each of 365 days of the
year."
The statement shows that 21.3 per
cent, or 1911, 100000 pounds, of the
sugar consumption of the country was
of home production. IT. per cent, or
1854 ,O00,00 pounds, was brought from
our insular possessions and the re-
naming 61 per cent, or 4,367, ,0O0, 900
pounds, came from foreign countries.
Forty-three million pounds was the
aggregate of the expectation of sugar
from this country.
The United States sugar record for
1907 was unique in that the quantity
of that product imported from foreign
countries was larger than ever be.

lou feet deep, and few barrels OF

industry. It employs a million men;
walking beams creak in every cline;
oil flows from the Gulf of Mexico to
the Caspian and back again; the
driller is at work in the cradle of the
Aryan race, in Japan, in the haunt of
the wild man of Borneo. This indus
try has added billions of dollars of
new, clean wealth to the worlds store
in this marvellous half century-within
the life span of men whose hearts are

1t we'll deserves a monument and
one built by the men who have helped
to create the industry-the men who
have rubbed the wonderful lamp and
found gold in their hands. This duty
should not be left to another genera
tion. Already there are thousands en-
listed in this army of modern grease
who never saw the site on which the
! old Drake we'll was drilled with so
much pains and patience. Annually
hundreds of travellers pass the magic
spot and have naught to attract their
glance from the car window. But next
year they may see the tall shaft and
the torch that, hand in hand with Lib.
erty, has lighted the world, literally.
The following description is given of
the design of the Petroleum Me-
mortal:
| "The monument is in the form of a
monolithic Doric shaft bearing aloft
a bronze lantern in the form of q
globe. The shaft rests upon single
block of stone, upon the four faces
of which are bas-reliefs symbolical of
the departments of human activity
which have been most affected by the
discovery of oil-heat, light, power and
locomotion. The base rests upon a
stylobate of three high steps. The
stylobate is in the center of a paved
area surrounded by parapet having
at the four corners salient masses
upon the outer surface of which are
to be cut inscriptions telling of the
history of the discovery of oil by Col
Drake and of the evolution of the in
dustry. The whole monument is to be
raised upon sodded plateau and is t.
be approached on all four sides b,
flights of 13 steps.
The dimensions of the monument
are as follows: Plateau, "a fee
square; platform at parapet line, S:
feet square: diameter of shaft, 5 fee
6 inches; pedestal, 8 feet square
stylobate, 20 feet square; height o
plateau, feet; height of monument
So feet; total height of monument ant
plateau, 81 feet.
The location of the old Drake vel
is on a slightly spot near the line O.
the Pennsylvania railroad, so that thu
monument when completed can bt
viewed by all travellers between Pitts
burg and Buffalo.
