Severe simplicity of the Room Russell Sage
Does Business Ina Poor Mans Luxury.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Oct. 30-It is not many years
since the expenditure of any great amount
of money on the furnishing of a mans Office
was generally considered weak conces-
sion to estheticism, but nowadays hand
somely fitted and furnished business apart
ments are the rule rather than the excep-
ton. One of the richest men in America,
however Russell Sage, does business every
day in one of the plainest offices.
1t is reached after climbing two or three
rickety flights Of stairs in the old building
at II Broadway, next to Trinity church
yard. When the visitor has passed through
the outer door, he is confronted by wood
en- wall which reaches nearly to the cell
ing. This wall is pierced by two or three
grated apertpres about a foot square. To
get attention from any one he must tap on
the casing of one of these little windows.
He will have plenty of time to observe his
surroundings while awaiting the pleasure
of the clerks inside, and he will see only a
bare floor and a settee for the convenience
OF messenger boys. Scrawled on the wall
In lead pencil over the settee he may read
IL he cares to the frankly expressed opin-
ions these boys have of Mr.. Sage. They
are not expressly COMPLEMENTARY fact,
more than one district Mercury has there
recorded his belief that the great financier
is stingy and cross
Once inside the sacred inner portal-and
the visitor will have no difficulty in getting
in II he have any real business with the
capitalist-he will find the furnishing most
severely plain. All the desks and chairs
were old and worn before the bomb explo-
sion two or three years ago, but they are
now necessarily new, though as cheap as
possible and still be serviceable.
One day not long ago called first at Mr..
Sage's Office and then at the Office of a
young professional man, who has yet to
make his place in the world. The latter
was located in one of the largest and show
lest of the new business palaces of this city.
A swift elevator carried me noiselessly to
its level, and the floor of the corridor which
led to its door was tiled. Inside there was
a moquette carpet, the desk and chairs were
of antique" oak, highly polished. on the
walls were choice etchings, artistic bronzes
ornamented divers wall brackets, and the
air came In through the open shutters over
a brilliantly blooming and carefully tended
window garden. II like to do my work in
a civilized place" said the occupant Of the
office, noting my surprise. Before | came
away the agent of the buildings owner en-
tered and dunned the young man for two
months rent NJ. |. DEXTER.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30-There is a great
Rnd curious mansion ia II New York suburb
that is undescrbed in any of the guide
books 1t Is Elmswood, the home of Clio
vanni P. Morosni, the famous banker.
Elmswood is u magnificent place over
looking the Hudson-the house palace,
and the grounds wide and beautiful-but it
is rs a home for his collections that Mr..
Morosini takes most interest. He is col
lector of catholic tastes and loves to gather
together all sorts of things rare, beautiful
and curious, always excepting autographs.
His objection to them is that their anthem
ITCHY is apt to be so doubtful-the more
valuable the more doubtful "They can
manufacture autographs as fast as horse
IN trot j." he says, and he tells story of
u gentle man who recently presented him
cry impressively an autograph letter of
Rossini's, land saw it was Autograph
before got it in my hand, he adds, with
a laugh.
For Is years Mr.. Morosini has been es-

armor, supplementing 1t with wopder-
full array of implements of warfare. In
this field his possessions are beyond any
other collectors in America. Mr.. Morosini
served before the mast with Garibaldi and
also went through the seige of Venice, and
his interest in everything that relates to
the art of war has never slackened. The
military works In his library are the books
that most interest him, and he has 300 re-
lating to the campaigns of Napoleon alone.
The armory at Elmswood is great hall
20 feet long by 40 wide and 30 feet high.
Not a great estate rich in such possessions
has been put on the market in 10 years that
Mr.. Morosini or his agents have not been
at hand to gather up treasures for this
strange old world scene. The soft autumnal
light falls on hundreds of battlefags OF
many nations that give color to the walls,
and on more than 300 suits of armor that
CLEAN beneath them. On his horse Nor
man warrior of the fifteenth century seems
to still lift himself proudly in his wonder
fully fitted and chased garments of steel,
and the horse, too, wears armor beautiful
as jewelry in its workmanship.
Blood Chilling Weapons.
The weapons range from spears of the
widest African tribes to old Italian can
non of the fifteenth century. There IL a
Chinese cannon of about the same date, and
another of this century-a brass cannon
with curi0usly small bore that was cap.

THROUGH THE WHEAT.

When she came tripping through the wheat
It seemed to bend TO kiss her feet
And roses all the sod made sweet
And birds sang CHEEKY:
The honey bees were humming low
Gold specs on roses white as snow,
Sweet roses-not Sc sweet know,
AS she was-Maryl
Her footstep seemed to-wake sound
OF tinlling music from the ground
That thrilled the winds that whistied round
With sweet caresses,
And on her forehead, white and sleek,
The rarest blossoms fell to wreak
Their love. and played at hide and seek
In her gold tresSes.
Down fell the scythe upon the grass.
And: Mary. Nary, will you pass?"
You're in my way" she said. "Alasi
must be goingi'
Not till you pay the forfeit sweet
OF coming this way through the wheat
All, Mary lips were made to meet
kiss you're owing!"
Up went the dainty finger tips,
To shield the rich and rosy lips,
And all their red was in cclipse~
My luck seemed missing.
A moment onlyi-then, as she
Fled like shaft Of light from ne
She cried: Il paid no forfeit-see.
You did the kissingi'

on this amount he cheerfuily pays
