I know Russell Sage only as the world knew him, or as the globe trotter knows the silent sphynx on the burning sands of the Egyptian desert, Amoug the busy millions of the im- perial city he stood solitary and alone; he courted no man's friendship and he allowed no man to come too near him, or to exercise the slightest influence over him for fear they might attempt to borrow his money without ample security; 1 am inclined to be lieve that the boast he made to ao young photographer was true, when he said "No' one knows me; no sir, my wife don't know me." Secretive. ness covered him from head to heel unpuncturable ad a coat of mail; his sole and only pleasure lay in accumu- lation; it pleased him beyond concep- tion when he read in the newspapers that he controlled more ready money than any other man or bank in New York; thrift was in his hone and in ERE Adjustable Band Dress his fibre and he could not help being & frugaly he had read poor Richard's Miniater of Marine ant Teh Ciies.

"Take care of the ttawa, 26th July, hoa pennies and the dollars care of themselves," ss The difference between Russell Skge and his business associates is seen in the manner of his life. Jay Gould was a thnifty young man but he lived in a beautiful and costly home on the Hudson river and he maintained a splendid yacht on which he oceasional- ly enjoyed himself with his friends, Andrew: Carnegie who has given away nearly one hundred and filty millions of dollars, is still a man of the world, partaking of the reasonable Pleasures like a reasonable man, and while yet alive, finds comfort in the thought that the world is better for his hav- ing been in it. John D. Rockefeller was not remarkable for his wasteful ness, yet he enjoyed a game of golf and stopped to count the cost of the bats and balls; Russell Sage had no time fon such things yet the life of this old money getter was not with- out its compensations, which the law of the right guarantees to every hu- man being since Adam awoke in Par. adise and found himself alone fresh from the hand of his Creator. Russell Sage was the one man his day and generation, who could say with any degree of truth, "My life has and is a perfect and unequaled on one to recognise the perfect comfort and good fit.

SOCIETY'S _ REVENGE IT WAS A HEARTLESS CRIME boundless wealth alone gives to its possessor, and on the finest fields, where the battle of financial life is fought to the uttermost, this silent Paladin stood armed and equipped, "cap a» pie," fearing no danger, shrinking from no contest, but stand- ing undaunted in the midst of the strife, carrying death and dismay in the ranks of the enemy who dared to question his primacy. Russell Sage occupied the position among his fellow men that the moon does to the earth; the world only saw one side of him, and that was the least loveable; the other side was never re- vealed to the outside world; it was only seen within the sacred portals of his home and it was dedicated to her who gave to his stormy life fof forty years, whatever he knew of hap- piness or joy, except, indeed, in the satisfaction he experienced in his con- stant accumulation and that was al- ways at high water mark, In his beloved and faithful wife he found a solace for every ill; she never deceived him, and he trusted her im- plicitly as he trusted no other human being; the tempest might beat around his devoted head and the execretions of the disappointed mob might be hurled at him, mingled with murder- ous hombs as pitiless as a cyclone, but when he 'put his foot inside the threshold of his home care flew away the disappointments and trials of the day were forgotten, for there was peace and rest. He never labored for the world's applause, he hated and despised it; he knew that it was a merchantable commodity, always on tap and for sale to the highest bid- der for very hard = éash. His honey- moon was never énded; the queenly woman who waited for his coming at the door was the same bride who for- ty years before pledged him at the altar her faith, her loyalty and love, and that love and faith through storm and sunshine she kept inviolate and pure right up to the gates of death; her beloved name was the last mortal sound that trembled on his lips and her beloved hand was the last earthly thing he grasped as his spirit took ite flight to eternity. All the week the aitiosity of the en- tire community has been up to fever heat, to know what Russell Sage was going to do, or had done with his mighty pile of dollars, ducats, guild ers and rupers, and when it was dis- covered that with the exception of $500,000, he had left every cent of his great fortune to his beloved wife, a howl of rage and disappointment rent the air, as if every man, woman and child in the state of New York was an expectant legate. We have a large class of financiers in this city who never accumylated a thousand doltars in all their- lives, who could give Andrew Carnegie or Russell Sage points how to get rid of any spare cash that happens to be laying around loose, and they. don't know what to do with. I have dis- covered that it is the easiest thing in the world to spend the people's mon- ev, if vou have none of your own. think that T can look at this matter dispassionately, especially, as Mr, Sage has neglected to leave me a million or two of which I am very much in need. 1 think Mr. Sage did the most sensible and commendable act of his life when he left his vast unfettered fortune to his wife, free as the air, unhcircumseribid by notes or bounds. Mrs. Sage is an educated whose lifo has been one kindness and charity. spares her life and health, the mil- lions who are now so anxiously watching the course she is expected to pursue, may possibly find, when the last dollar" is divided and the trial balance sheet of her life is struck, that, notwithstanding all their mis- givings and his shortcomings, Russell Sage and his wife have not lived in vain.

Lausanne, Aug. 4.--A peculiarly heartless crime has been committed at Lecco, on Lake Como, in the name of | the "Camorra," the notorious Italian | secret society, 4 A young man named Navazzo, who formerly lived at Naples, joined the society when in his teens, and remain- ed a faithful member until a few months ago, when he married a beau- tiful Italian girl of nineteen, Navazzo, who was a steady, hard- working young man and a clever cab- inet maker, wished to rid himself of his old associates, and sent in his res- ignation to the Camorra. He received a reply to the effect that he knew too much, and wus too useful a member for his resignation to be accepted, He prayed and begged vainly for his release. Lately he was ordered "on a private mission," and rather than obey the command he left Naples sec- retly with his wife, The young wife woke up, yesterday morning, at the boarding house where they were staying, and found her hus- band lying dead by her side, with a' stiletto in his heart. On the stiletto the word "Camorra" had been engraved. This fact left no doubt as to who had committed the crime, and when the police heard of it they refused to take any action. SUNSTROKE. Should Be Called Heat Apoplexy. London Mail. What is called "sunstroke," the eof- fect of great heat, should be "heat apoplexy." The misnomer leads the multitude to suppose that death fron it is caused through being struck down by exposure to a special male- volency of pid rays. This is not so, for patients are with equal fre- quency found in houses and barracks and tents and at night as well as day and whether in sun or shade, are gen- erally those whose health is debilitat- ed by dissipation, disease and over- fatigue, and the evidences from all Parts of the world show that exposure to intense sun rays isless to be fear- ed in dry countries than in countries where the temperature is much lower, but the atmosphere is moist, and per- spiration is consequently retarded. People suffer more from a tempera- ture of 87 degrees F, at Brussels than at 122 degrees F. at Cairo, owing to the moist air of the first and the ex- treme dryness of the air in the lat- ter city. The inhabitants of the eastern coasts of the United States hear with amaze- ment of temperatures from 118 to 19% degrees F. being tolerated in the dry regions of Arizona and South Color- ado without harm. and that the or- dinary avoeations of farm and fac- tory are pursued without inconveni- It of rapid evaporation from the surface of the body, and hence the sun's ma- lignancy is unknown. ------ The Pope's Anniversary.
