It is an old story that very rich per
sons in this city have demands made
upon their oapital as well as their char
ity, says the New York Herald.
Therefore it may not be very strange
thatRussellSage gave only $1 yesterday
to an applicant for work—George J.
Powell, who addresses Mr. Sage as an
uncle and who the latter says may be
a distant relative.
I saw young Powell after his visit to
Mr. Sage and he seemed far from grate-
ful for the $1 from the multi-million
aire.
“[ am hungry and my clothing, as
you see, is threndbare,” he said with
considerable spirit, “and yet my uncle
would not help me to get a place to
earn a living. I call him my uncle,"
he continued, “but he is really mv
great-uncle. My mother, who lives in
this city, was a Sage before-she was
married, and her father, my grand
father, was Russell Sage's brother.
We all oatne originally from Troy.
The Sages are all money makers ex
cept myself,” lie added bitterly, “but I
seem to have been destined to be one
of the army of unfortunates. When I
“What are yon doing
things?" 1 asked him.
“it was a scheme I had. I have been
trying to sell them. I priuted them
myself and went from door to door
selling them. I asked 8 cents apieoe
for them." How much did you make?”
“Thirty cents in n day’s work,” he
said despairingly. “I do not see how
I can appeal to Mr. Sago again,” he
added. “On September 22 I made an
appeal to him for work, and It was re
sponded to as It was to-day—by an en
velope containing a one dollar bill."
Young Powell will not reveal the
place where he is living.
I visited Mr. Sage’s office and sent to
him a query as to the truth of young
Powell’s story. Mr. Sage returned a
reply, through a clerk, that Powell had
received money several times from him
and that he might possibly be a rela
tive. The Sage family was widely
scattered and it could not be expeoted
lhat Mr. Sage would remember all the
members.
“Mr. Sage helps a great many per
sons ” added the clerk pleasantly, “but
he does not say anything about it, be
cause it would bring to the office such
a horde of persons who want money.”

was a small boy tlnanoial misfortunes
leenmyTamily threw me on my own re-
" sources, and though I have been sober
and industrious I have not seemed to
have luck."
Powell is about 22 years old, and his
features strongly resemble those of
Russell Sage. He has had a common
sohooi education and talks well. His
mother has been married three times,
and young Powell could not agree with
his step-father.
“This experience of to-day is the
last of several intervlws I have had
k . with my great uncle,” he said. This is
the letter I sent to him in his private
*—^ office to-day, as lie was too busy to see
me:
“To Mu. Rossei. Sage :
“My. Dear Uncle—Since I oallcd
last on you matters have not changed
for the better. I slnoerelv deplore the
fact that I should seemingly he press

is cither to obtain forme any sort of

“After waiting for whnt seemed a
^ realty long time,” said young Powell,
“a man came from Mr Sage’s private
office and handed me a sinal I sealed en
velope addressed to‘E. J. Powell.’
“I told the clerk I did not want

The letter was dated yesterday. The

to Danville, and learned that the
young man he had buried was another,
whose name was also Corbett. *

Corbett, a prominent resident of Tay
lor, near here,several days ngo received
news that his son John had died in the
Danville Insane Asylum, where he had
been confined. The father went down,
saw the body in the casket, paid the
expenses, amounting to $100, mid ar
ranged for the burial in a Danville
cemetery. Then he went home, and
he, his wife and several children were
mourning, and expressed all the usual
symptoms of grief.
To-iay Corbett was suprised to re-
cetve a letter from Danville with the
address in the well-known hand
writing of his son
and read the contents he was
amazed. The son stated, for it was he
who wrote the letter, that lie was

Beyond a doubt, this is an age of
kickers. In fact, It seems that recal-
oiltration never had suoh a bold on
people ns is manifested to-day.
Every man, woman and ohild seem*
to be a kicker. If they don’t kiok
about one thing, they kiok about an
other.
***
There’s the merohant kicker. If it
rains he says trade is dull beoause the
people are afraid they'll get wet while
shopping. If it doesn’t rain he com
plains that the dust is ruining his
stock of goods. If it’s cold it’s too
cold; if it’s hot it’s too hot. And that’s
the way it goes. Always something to
kick about.
But they are no worse than thous
ands of people in other vocations of
life. The professional man kicks, the
mechanic kicks, nnd last, but not
least by any means, the loafer kicks.
Yea, even unto the last, Pauline, the
loafer is the worst kicker of them
ail. He fairly gloats over his pessi
mistic creed, and is never happier than
when arguing in a pompons or bom
bastic style.
**«
And it lias always been this way.
Since time immemorial, men have
kicked and cried hard times. They
don’t know whnt else to do. It seems
that tile race, these latter days, for
riches, is too brisk to realize distance.
Everybody is pulling against some
body else, and if the lucre doesn’t en
ter the till ns fast as they think It
should they flare out and kick.

THE “DINKS”
/
Not IB Such u Ntrnighl >1 Wayerou an
Reported.
The Herald published, a few days
ago, from tlie Waycross correspondent
of the Savannah Npws, a story which
represented Dink Melvin, the well-
known flshermun, and his family as
being in rather a bad way, down at
Wayoross, but it will be seen from the
following, from the Waycross Herald
or yesterday, that the Dinks arc all
right:
DINK MELVIN TnE FISHERMAN.
It is not true, as lias been published,
that. Dink Melvin the fisherman or his
children are suffering Tor something to
eat. lie is making from three to five
dollars per day selling flsh in Way-
cross. lie lives in a ccmf'-rtable bouse
nnd besides he now lots on hand a line
stock of soft-shell turtles, which lie is
offering cheap. During the two past
flays Sir. Melvin lias sold ten dollars
worth of flsh. This is .tlie right time
of the inoim for flsh. There is no dan
ger of Melvin or his family starving.
So don’t get mnd if any one should
call you a kicker. It is snld that the
“truth hurts,” and if you should get
riled, you will give yourself away. The
writer of this Is just as muoh a kioker
as a foot-ball player, and ho can state
positively that there Is no greater
folly than this praotloe, and every one
should try and break himself of It.

of which, happily, came to an end in
