STAGE FOR MRS. BAER.
McKipley's Niece to Sing an Taude-
7iIIe. 1t Is Sad.

Mrs. .. A. Baer who Miss Mabel Nc
Kinley, the favorite niece of the late Presi-
dent yesterday signed an agreement to enter
the world of vaudeville as a singer, according
20 an announcement made last night by Barney
A. Myers, now, ne says, her manager, who made
the other party to the agreement.
According to Mr.. Myers, his unavailing efforts
of over two years to induce Mrs Baer to go on
the stage have at last borne fruit, Mrs. Baer
having signed a two years contract at S1OOO
a week with expenses. to include maid and an
accompanist, Oscar Luckstone. June %, said
Mr. Myers will be the date for her debut at
Washington, at which the members of the
diplomatic corps who in the late Presidents
term of office often heard her sing at White
House teas, will all be invited to attend. From
Washington according to the story, she will
for twenty-five weeks, the length of her first
engagement make tour of the larger cities or
the country, from Maine to California.
Mrs Baer was one of those saved at the

her to take I'D a stage career. It is under
stood, however, that the late President was
somewhat opposed to the idea, which, it is said,
formed one of the reasons for her being kept
so constantly by his side at the White House.
Besides the late President, both her father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Abner Mckinley, are said
to have opposed the idea of a stage career, as
also her desire to accept, some time back, a
concert engagement. Mr.. and Mrs. Abner Nc
Kiney's opposition however, had apparently
been finally overridden, and the young wife will
now enter on her new career.

RUSSELL SAGE HOUSE LOOTED.
Burglars Completely Dismantle Vacant One
in Ninety.third-st., Owned by Him.

A nevy but apparently widespread danger to
CITY property, in the shape of the wholesale
looting of unoccupied houses by thieves, was
emphasized by the discovery last week that
Russell Sage had been robbed piecemeal for
more than three years. Thieves have dismantled
the interior of four story house in west
Ninety-third-st, owned by him, and have looted
It SO completely that little more than the four
walls have been left standing. The Ninety
third-st. house occupies lot % by 100. No. 10

session in 1898.
Real estate SPECTATORS bought land facing the
park, and they at once opened negotiations with
Mr. Sage for the undergraduates st. house, the in
tention being to it and put up two large
apartment houses with frontage on Central
Park West The inancier fixed a price which
would give him about 5000 profit, from which
figure he refused to recede. In consequence
negotiations were broken off and the operators
built around the Sage property, hemming it in

Long before the foundations of the apartment
houses were laid some enterprising craftsman
had apparently made survey of Mr.. Sage's
house and carried off whatever was portable
marble mantel pieces, marble wash basins, and
the like. This was the beginning of a sys-
tematic tearing out of the inside OF the house
by a band of thieves. First they took out all
the lead pipe. then all the bronze and brass
knobs OF the doors were removed and the locks
were taken out. Even the bathtub had its zinc
lining stolen. The silver plated faucets went
with 1t. The chandelier in the parlor
screwed and appropriated. every gas fixture in
every one OF the fifteen rooms being also ilched
as well as the brass rings on poles from which
pcrtiere curtains were to hang. Perhaps the
most audacious theft was the removal of the
meruuetry flooring of the dining room. This
was a piece of hardwood mosaic of costly
Egyptian pattern.
Mrs Sage said last night to Tribune re-
porter: Mr. Sage bought the Ninety third-st
house you speak OF from a very worthy motive
That was that it might some time be needed
