VOICE OF THE PULPIT
ON GREAT WHITE PLAGUE

At least forty-three pulpits In WASH
ington will tomorrow give utterance to
the message. Lets fight to the finish
the great white plague" People who
are working for the study and preven-
ton of tuberculosis express the belief
that 100000 ministers will. from as many
pulpits. preach on the subject, either on
Sunday, October q, or on some occasion
near to that date. Consideration is had
of many demands for special Sundays.
and so pastors are asked to fit the call
into their own plans. Last year about
5000 made some mention of the day.
President Taft. Cardinals Gibbons and
Farley. and many other distinguished
people have approved this manner Of
calling the attention of the public to
possible means Of consumption preven-
tion.
Achievements Of these people to date
are claimed to be: The forming of more
than 600 local societies to combat the
disease; the distribution of 100000
pamphlets dealing with the subject: the
cases. and 5000 for durable cases; the
Of 500 hospitals: the opening Of
400 dispensaries, and the securing Of laws
in forty-five States intended to compel
study and apply preventatives Of the
A chief purpose Of the day this year Is
to give wide warning Of the danger Of
relying upon, even OF using. patent medi-
cines and cure-alls claiming to have
value. The scientists say there Is no
drug that will effect a cure. and that
people waste both time and money.
Along with the warning will be given
exact instructions for the study and pre-
vention OF the disease, always to be
lone under some recognized physician.

BIG FORTUNE WELL HANDLED
Millions Left by the Late Russell Sage
Are Being Expended for the Wei
fare Of Humanity.

While the late Russell Sage was in
the flesh he was one of the most pru-
dent, shrewd and persistent money
grubbers in Gotham. The astute fnan-
cier never plunged nor risked any
money In wildcat schemes. He was
"sure-shot" operator in Wall street.
and when he died he left in the hands
Of his lone widow a fortune of some
thing like $75,000,000.. Since becom-
ing possessed OF this enormous for
tune she has worked as persistently
and assiduously In scattering the
money as her husband did in gather
ing it. The scriptures tell us that
the. miser is the man that heaps up
riches and cannot tell who shall gath
er them" Russell Sage knew better,
and the good lady upon whose shoul-
ders was imposed the burden of this
enormous sum Of money has worked
hard in tightening the burden. Her
philanthropies have been productive
Of as much wisdom as marked her hus-
bands operations in the market. She
is reported to be failing in health, and
her task is only begun. Should she
be taken from. the world thousands
will regret her departure, and It is
very earnestly to be hoped that fur
ther care Of the property will fall into
good hands.

A Surprise for the Bridegroom.

George Won L. Meyer, secretary Of
the. navy. said at the recent banquet
Of the American Society of Naval en-
gineers:
"A very fashionable wedding once
took place in Washington. Only the
intimate friends of either family were
invited. and all seemed to be bent on
having the best time of their lives.
There was, however, one exception.
A young man did not seem to be en-
joying himself bit.
"Instead of mingling with the gath.
ering, the sad-looking young gentle.
man wandered around the house, In
specting the wedding presents and
displaying great interest in the Ge-
corations.
Finally the happy bridegroom no.
ticed the fellow, and, wishing to say
something pleasant and having i'm
bibed enough to be able to do so, ask
ed him why he did not mingle and
have some fun.
Have you kissed the bride yet?'
he asked.
"swell, said the sad one. not late.
ly.'"
