RUSSELL SACE AND THE NEWSBOT.
La<l VTho TrieU to Fool tho Financier
I'.ronglit Up With a Sharp Turn.
Russell Sago, the great New York
financier, was trudging homeward
through Forty-second street at 7.45
o'clock p. in., when he was surrounded
by four or five newsboys, each eager
to sell him a paper. The boys knew j
j him well apparently, for three or four

aud "Russell Sage" by the twisting,
bustling and noisy little fellows. Mr.
Sage asked for a certain edition of a
certain paper, and the smallest boy
in the bunch thrust upon him what
was thought at the time to b" the desired
paper. Mr. Sage paid him and
slowly walked on toward his home.
He reached the corner of Madison
avenue, glanced at his purchase,
j looked about, hesitated au instant 1
aud then grimly aud slowly walked \
: back to where the "newsies" were |
j takiug. Peeriug about till he identified
the lad he had patronized, ho
| said: . ;
j "Here, boy! This isn't the paper !
: I asked for."
Crestfallen, the lad took back tho |
! paper, and Mr. Sago hold ont his
hand, sayiug: "Come, sir! I want my j
money back."
The grimmy little hand went down
into the trousers pocket and brought i
! ? ^ ? - e 1
back a cent, wuica nnaiiy louuu iuuj|
incut in Mr. Sage's palm. Mr. Scgc
somewhat wearily huuted up another j
urchin with the right edition of the '
' right paper, and then retraced hi3 |
i steps homeward.
"Whet did you try to cheat Mr.
Sage for?" asked the reporter,
j "Well," said "Skinuy" Martin, the !
newsboy, hesitatingly, as if half 1
ashamed of his wrong, "y* see; biz- I

lllg Kentucky Families.
In conversation with a gentleman
from Magoffin a tew days ago, he gave
some exceedingly interesting facts
abont the number of voters of some ol
the families in that county. There
are about nineteen hundred voters iu
Magoffin County, and of these oneseventh
belong to three families.
There are ninety-four Howards, ol
whom about half arc Democrats and
half are Republicans; eighty-seven
Patricks, of whom seventy-seven are
Republicans and teu Democrats;
eighty-one Arnets, of whom seventynine
are Democrats and only two Republicans.?Lexington

CRAWFORD UNSEATED.
Pearson Wins in the Contest Before
tile House.
One Hundred and Fourteenth Day.?
The Senate concluded consideration of
the naval appropriation bill, with the
exception of that section relating to
armor and armament. This went
ni'Ol' o 1 ifr ?? /Jo ir ti' h on if )to
iu a iaiLi ua/, ? ucit u 111 ut
considered in secret legislative session.
During the morning hour a
number cf miner bills were passed,
among them one to reimburse various
collectors of internal revenue for internal
revenue stamps charged against
them, but not accounted for. The debate
on the naval bill was practically
confined to the paragraph relating to
the commissioning of naval cadets.
One Hundred and Fifteenth Day.?
Practically the entire session of the
Senate was devoted to a discussion of
armor plate, the section of the naval
plate and armament being under consideration.
The debate largely hinged
on the proposition that the government
should erect a plant of its own. Sena- i
tor Tillman presented an amendment,
limit ng the price to he paid for armor i
to $300 per ton, and providing also that |
the government should erect a plant of
its own. Senators Tillman. Money, and
Chandler advocated the erection of a
plant, while Mr. Hale supported the
committee amendment, providing for a
plant in the contingency that armor
could not be procured for $145 per ton.
No action was taken on the proposition,
the bill going over.
Cue Hundred and Sixteenth Day.?
In the Senate, on motion of Mr. Chandler.
the Clark (Montana) case went
over until Tuesday next, at which
time he gave notice that he would ask
for its continuous consideration until
disposed of.
Mr. Hoar offered a resolution for j
which he asked immediate considera- I
lion, directing the Committee on Foreign
Relations to inquire whether
American citizens are obliged to obtain
passports or other license or to
pay any fees for permission to pass
from the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States cr from any part of the
United States to the Hawaiian Islands,
or to make any payment of money to
secure the privilege of landing in the
islands, and whether it is expedient
that such relations be longer continued.
One hundred and Seventeenth Day.?
When the Senate convened Mr. Davis
reported from the committee on f oreign
Relations a joint resolution respecting
the unveiling of the statue of
LaFayette at Paris. July 4, 1900. The
preamble recited that the s:hool children
of the United States had contributed
$50,000 for the statue, and the government
of the United States 'had added
$50,000 for the pedestal cf the statue.
The resolution, as reported, follows:
"That the people of the United State.}
anticipate and appreciate this ceremony
with feelings of the greatest satisfaction.
and that they regard the statue
as expressing the honor and gratitude
with which they cherish the memory
of LaFayette and those %>f hid
countrymen who, by their arms and
counsel, assisted in securing the inde
peuueiicu ui tut* uuueu oiaa-o.
HOUSE.
One Hundred and Fourteenth Day.?
The House devoted most of the day tc
the consideration of private bills reported
from the committee on claims,
and ten bills were passed. The most
important was a 0.1! to remit the penalties
imposed by the government on
the Union Iron Works, of San Fran
cisc-o, the builders of the Monterey,
for licr failure to make contract speed.
The House overruled the action of the
ways and means committee in reporting
against a resolution calling upon
the Secretary of the Treasury for information
regarding the material used
in the manufacture of oleomargarine,
which is on file in the internal revenue
office. The majority of the committee
contended that this information
could not be furnished under tae
nevised Statutes, and that it would
betray the trade secrets, but the resolution
was adopted. This is preliminary
to the re-opening of the fight for
the Grout bill in the committee on
agriculture.
One Hundred and Fifteenth Day.?
The House entered upon the consideration
of the contested elecetlon case of
Pearson vs. Crawford, from the Ninth
North Carolina d strict. This is the
fifth of the nine contested election
cases to be considered by the House.
The report of the majority in the Pearson-Crawford
case was against the
sitting member, a Democrat, on the
general ground that Mr. Pearson's election
was prevented by fraud, intimidation,
bribery and bloodshed. The minority
deny all the allegations of the
majority, pointing out that the district
is nominally Democratic. The de- |
bate today was on party lines. With- I
out prelim nary business the Hoifte
entered upon trie consideration of the
case. Mr. Roberts, of Massachusetts,
who was in charge of the case on behalf
of the majority, made a proposition
to vote immediately after the
reading of the journal Thursday. As
an inducement for closing deb3te Mr.
Roberts said he would move to sir Ice
from the majority report that portion
in favor of throwing out the entire
vote of Ashcville. He did this because
so many gentlemen seemed to believe
that the vote of that city would have
to be eliminated to seat Mr. Pearson.
Th s was not the case. With the vote
of Asheville, the majority figured out
a majority of 155 for Pearson.
One Hundred and Sixteenth Day.?
Mr. Crawford was unseated in the
House from the Ninth district of I
North Carolina and Mr. Pearson was '
