Silk Worms at Work; See the Little Spinners Spin A REGULAR SILK COLONY Established in this place and the beautifully attired operatives are now at work day and night. After commencing work they do not stop to eat, drink or sleep until their task is finished, then they take a good long sleep. A SIGHT OF A LIFE TIME This is a very interesting study of one of nature's most wonprocesses, and must be seen to be appreciated. Everyone, especially the young, should embrace this opportunity to learn a lesson in natural history.

In no branch of entomology is there more of facinatirsg interest to the student than in the contemplation of the habits and work of these wonderful little manufacturers and in the beautiful, compliand beneficial results achieved. A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE The rich cream color of the worms, the golden sheen of the silk and the dark green of the foliage upon which they feed makes a very beautiful picture, especially at night under artificial light. This exhibition will last about a week or ten days, but come at once and see the very commencement of the short, active and useful life of these little toilers.

New York, July 23.--Russell Sage died suddenly yesterday at his country home "Cedercroft," at Lawrence, L. I. The immediate cause of death was heart failure resulting from a compliof diseases incident to old age. The veteran financier would have celehis 90th birthday anniversary on Aug. 4. Sage had been in excepRUSSELL SAGE. tionally good health since his arrival at his summer home about six months ago. At noon he was seized with a sink ing spell and collapsed, falling into unabout two hours before his death, which occurred at o'clock. Funeral Takes Place Wednesday. There were present at the end Mrs. Sage; her brother Colonel J. J. Slocum; Rev. Dr. Robert Leetch; Dr. Theodore S. Janeway, of New York; Dr. J. Carl Schmuck, a local physician, and Dr. John P. Munn, for many years Sage's family physician, who was summoned from New Yoik when the first alarmsymptoms were manifest. The funeral service will he held on Wednesday. His Interests Are Safe. It is generally believed that Sage's vast interests will not be seriously afby his death. Several times withthe last few years rumors have been set afloat of Sage's death. On one such occasion, in June, 1899, Sage said: "I suppose somebody wanted to make a little money by affecting stock values, and they hit on this old trick." Asked if stocks had been much affected, he answered: "I understand not. The properties in wich 1 am interested canbe seriously affected by my death." NESTOR OF OUR FINANCIERS Went to Work at 12 Years of Age and Kept Going. Russell Sage, multimillionaire, and Nestor of United States financiers, was born on Aug. 4, 1816, in Verona, Oneicounty, N. Y. At the age of 12 years Russell began his career as an errand boy in the grocery store of his brother Henry in Troy. At the age of 22 he established a wholesale grocery of his own in that place. In 1857 the young merchant had acquired a forestimated at almost half a mildollars, a vast amount for those days, and determined to retire from active business life. He had, however, already become in terested in railroads, his first transacof this character being a loan to LaCrosse Railroad company, which led to further transactions resulting in acquiring large interests. This deSage to devote his future ento operations in Wall street, and in 1863 he opened his first office at New York. About 1872 Sage originated the sysof trading in "puts" and "calls" and "straddles," in which he continued to deal thereafter on a colossal scale. Only once, it is said, did Sage experia tremendous reverse, which would have crushed most men. but from which he emerged with courage and confidence unshaken. This was on the memorable day in 1884 when the great failure of Grant & Ward was an nounced, resulting in the loss to Sag of about $6,000,000 in a long line of "puts." An incident which startled the whole country occurred in Sage's office, in the old Arcade building, 71 Broadway, on Dec. 4. 1891. On that day he was visby Henry P. Norcross, of Boston, a man of unbalanced mind, who dean immediate gift of $1,200,When the demand was refused Norcross dropped a dynamite bomb upthe floor, the explosion of which decapitated Norcross, killed one of the clerks and wrecked the whole office. Sage was only slightly injured by the explosion. Three Drowned at Superior, Duluth, July 23.--Mr. and Mrs. J. F.

LABOR IS IN POLITICS

Federation. Will Try to Elect UnMen to Congress Next Autumn. PLAN OF CAMPAIGN SENT OUT Matter of Legislation Demanded by Organized Labor is to Domthe Movement. Washington, July 23.--The executiv council of the American Federation of Labor has made good its declaration of several months ago to enter the field of politics in the interest of the trade union movement, and to exhort all members and friends of organized la bor to work for the election to political office of men known to be favorable to or ized labor's cause. From the h dquarters of the Federation the council has issued its "campaign programme," addressed "To all organized labor and friends in the United States." Will Keep Pace with Changes. It sets out that the trade union movehas kept and proposes to keep pace with the rapid changes in indus trial affairs, and that the working peo ple cannot hope to maintain their rights or a progressive position in the varying phases of modern society unthey organize, "exercise all those functions which, as workmen and citiit is their privilege and their duty to exercise." It is declared that labor makes no demand upon governor society which is not equally accorded to all the people of this counand that "it can and will be satiswith nothing less." Object of the Movement. The proposed campaign is based upthe allegation that little attention has been paid to the enactment of laws prepared by organized labor and preto congress, "for the relief of those wrongs and the attainment of those rights to which labor and the common people are justly entitled, and which are essentially necessary for their welfare." Congress Does Not Listen, The council issues a word of caution that the movement must not degenerinto a scramble for office, but "it should be a determined effort, free, abfrom partisanship of every name and character, to secure the legwe deem necessary aud essento the welfare and happiness of all our people." It is expressly stated that "where a congressman or state legishad proven himself a true friend to the rights of labor he should be supported and no candidate nominated against him." Refers to Great Britain. As to the chances for success in the movement the address says: "All obagree that the campaign of our fellow-workmen of Great Britain has had a wholesome effect upon the govas well as the interests of its wage-earners, and the people generof that country. In the last Britelections fifty-four trade unionists were elected to parliament. If the British workmen with their limited franchise accomplished so much by their united action, what may we in the United States not do with universuffrage? A labor representation committee is announced consisting of Samuel Gompers, James O'Connell and Frank Morrison. ' DOLLAR CAMPAIGN FUND Republicans Are Going to Try a New Means of Raising the ElecWind. New York, July 23.--Representa-James S. Sherman and his assoon the Republican national concommittee have decided to appeal to Republicans to contribute $1 each to its campaign fund. In pursuof this policy the committee has begun the mailing of letters to Rein all sections of the counasking them to contribute $1 each. Asked if an appeal to individual Refor subscriptions had ever been sent out before Representative Sherman replied that he had never known of it being done before. "I don't think it has ever been necessary to do so before," he said. In addition to the mailing of notices to Republicleaders in all sections of the counto be posted where individuals may see them, the notice will be sent to all Republicans papers with a rethat it be published for several days.

An Animal Story For Little Folks

The Deceived Dogs "I believe that our mistress thinks more of me than of any of you," said the spaniel to the other dogs who ocplaces on their mistress' lap. "No, she cares most for me," said the pug. "You are both wrong, for I am her favorite," chimed in another dog. "Why should you dispute this matamong yourselves when it is easy to be seen that I am uppermost in her affections?" added a shaggy coated litpoodle. And so it was that the discussion waxed warm between them, and they actually grew angry and snarled and snapped and made ugly faces, all beeach of them was sure that he was the best beloved and because they could not convince each other of their respective claims to the affections of their mistress. Now, while all this was going on the mistress' little boy Willie was lying on "SHE CARES MOST FOR ME," SAID PUG. the floor reading a book and paying no attention to the churlish squabble that was going on among the canines in his mother's lap. "What are you reading?" asked his mother. "A nice little story I learned at school," replied Willie. "Well, come up on my lap and read it to me, my little boy." And with that she dumped the dogs in a heap on the floor. "I guess she don't care as much for us as we thought," they each said as they sneaked away. And I guess they were right at last. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. An Economical Fashion. That deep band of color used to edge the coverings of down quilts or the lightweight cotton filled ones so satisfor summer weather is there for a purpose quite aside from that of beauty or effectiveness. It is always the edges that soil first, and it was to protect them that the bands of solid color, usually much darker than the material of he quilt, were first used. If your summer quilts haven't these bands they are easily applied and as easily ripped off and fresh ones substi tuted when they finally succumb to soil. Only choose a material that is closely enough woven, so that the de sign of the foundation may not show through. Keep Lemon Peel. Do not throw away your lemon peel Fill a bottle with rectified spirits and when using lemons cut off the yellow part of the rind and place in the spir its. Y"ou will find this quite as good as the essence of lemon which is sold in the shops. Essence of orange can be made in the same way. Embroidered Parasol. Something novel in the way of an embroidered parasol is shown in the illustration, and, with the growing fondness for having all of one's perbelongings marked, it is fair to suppose that the initial or monogram parasol will have great vogue. At present only linen sunshades are marked in this way, and the letters are always worked solid and not too heavily padded. To be effective the monograms or interlaced initials should be four or five inches high and not too A NOVELTY IN SUNSHADES. elaborate in design. Should one wish to work her monogram on a ready made parasol it is best to clip th stitches which hold the cover to the frame and rip the section which is to be worked partly off the frame before doing the embroidery. When the work finished and pressed it will be only a few minutes' work to sew the section in place again. Of course, if one is accustomed to doing the satin stitch embroidery, as well as the padding in a frame, it will not be necessary to rip the covering from the frame of the parasol.
