it was necessary to call the roll to get
a quorum to vote, so small was the
attendance of the members.
8peaker ‘‘Calls” Members.
Before a quorum was secured In the
house Speaker 8laton delivered a "call"
to members for poor attendance. Mr.
Williams also became quite wrathy for
the seeming Indifference of the mem
bers to his bill.
To consider a pension resolution the
house went Into a committee of the
whole. Speaker Slaton asked Mr. Bush,
of Miller, to take the chair.
"Can't you get some one else?" ask
ed Mr. Bush, aa he walked to, the

plause of the members of the house.

e'al order for July 26 was passed.
Mr. Alexander, of DoKalh, moved that

ing to adjourn until 9 o'clock Tuesday.
He had considerable to say of the time
wasted by fhe house this year, and his
view was sustained by the vote of the
members present.

,Illchmond, relative to the time when
Russell Rage died worth $100,000,000.

New York, July 1$.—Although every
tongue In Wall street talked today of
Russell Rage's death, which occurred
yesterday at hla county home, "Cedar
Craft," at Lawrence, I,. I., the passing
of the 90-year-old financier woo ex
pected to cause no such disturbing ef
fect upon the market as did Ids sudden
serious Illness of a few years ago.
Gossip on ‘change and In the brokers'
offices talked mainly of "Uncle" Rus
sell's $100,0000,000 estute, or narrated
among themselves anecdotes concern
ing deeds of the dead man which have
made his name synonymous with thrift.
Planned Against Effect,
In the' far-seeing forethought which
governed all of his business affairs,
Mr. Rage hud considered the probable
III elfebt and financial worry Incident to
the removal of the largest Individual
operator In call loans In the world.
Every contract he made In the lending
of money during the last two years of
Ills life contained a clause that In the
event of his death no payment of mon
eys lent should then be demanded on
the 1 Hits account

because of the poor exhibition which
they made at the time of the regular

that the fine showing Is due prlncl-
' pally to the hard work and Intelligent
efforts of First Lieutenant and Cap-
taln-elect Thad C. Jowltt, Jr, who has
been In command of the company for
'the past twu months, a fact which Is
7ywadily recognized by the men ot the

six large corporations.

nnd Straddles” system In 1873. Two
yearse later he bought a sent on the
Now York stock exchange, but If he

Iihh not been chronicled.
When Grant nnd Ward failed Jn 1884
It was estimated that Rage lust $6,000,-
000. Notwithstanding this hard blow,
lie recuperated rapidly nnd was soon
the formidable factor lie had been for
years.
Mr. Rage was married twice, first In
1341 to Miss Mnyu Wlnne, daughter
of Moses I. Wlnne, of Troy. His wife
died In New York city In 1867, and
two years Inter ho married Margaret

Mr. Rage,was only slightly Injured
by the explosion. Tho clerk who was
Injured claimed that he was used as n
shield by Mr. Rage, and brought suit
to recover damages. Mr. Rage fought
the case, but the clerk finally recovered
damages. The Identity of the dynu-
inlter was established by Isaac D.
White, n reporter for Tho New York
World, where the only clue wns a
small bone coat button nnd a link of
watch chain.
He was a human machine for money

deserted. For twenty-nine years the

negro child In Georgia Is attending
school. All'over Georgia I have seen
the struggle of these white children to
rise from the prison .of their mean es

given tbc negro child our bounty for
twenty-nine years; shall we not give
our own white child at least a negro's

hirelings alone could see the so-called
Injustice to the poor negro.
