I 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 ! a- i u?i UUleN JUU WHM UUUl L-aocu an MI. 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 ; ncss wnz on do bum wid me ter-day, ! *n' den, besides, llussell Sage, w'en ) he buys a pape oif'u me, be alius doe3 j dis?he allu3 prcssea de penny down tight in de middle ot me ban', an' I j t'iuks I'se got five er tea cents, till I looks at it, an' den I see dat I'se only got a cent.

Paper dere, ! boss?' So he says: 'Boy, givo me a J , sporting special extra.' I seen he I didn't have no specs on, so I hands j : him a 4 o'clock edition. He takes it i an' walks away, au' me nu' th' rest o' ! th' gang give him th' laugh for bein' i i so easy. "I kep' watching th* oil man till he'd gone more'n a block an' den I j t'onght I wuz safe.

" 'Boy,' he says, 'this is not a Bporting special extra.' 1' " 'Ah,' I says, 'them ain't out yet. You got th' extrecextror all right.' "'Boy,' he says, 'give mo back my money.' "I c'd feel his lingers squeezin' right in amongst me shoulder bones, ! so I gives him his jmnny an' he gimmo back mo jppe.

"Ke is a mean, sneaking, underhanded element,tho moth is," protests 1 John Keudrick Bangs in an article on 1 these household pests in the Woman's ! Home Companion.

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 (Ky.)

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 ' * [flp/ ??0*0 p] VX*5$k jb) X BSImpj f| Admittedly the the The Imperial One Gall |T ]) The needle keeps VI if the generating tube V\ // that will not go ou flicker.
