A Miser MilIiOnaiFe.

Russell Sage turns out to he claim
sharp Of the commOnest order. He has
long been known as the meanest man
in New York. His fortune is said to
he between twenty and thirty millions,
and yet he wears the cheapest clothing
he can buy in the clothing shops In
Chatham street, and walks up and
down town to save his car fare. HIS
lunches are meagre and economical,
and his whole life is characterized by
miserliness. But even those who had
the lowest regard for Mr.. Sage's gener-
osity did not think he would buy up
unjust claims and push them. His lat.
est case is against Ottoman, the Treas
ury thief. Ottoman got $40, 900 by com
promising with the government. Matt
Carpenter charged him 1000 for legal
services, but the charge was so exorbi.
tant that Carpenter evidently despaired
of ever getting it, so he sold his claim
to Russell Sage. Sage is pushing tho
claim for all 1t Is worth, with strong
chance Of making something out of IL.
1t il certainly contemplate piece oil
business for man Of such vast wealth.
