A RICH MANS HOBBY.
II Has Caused a Handsome House
to Fall Into Decay.
RusSeII sage Allows NRndRls to De-
sIroy Hi~ property Rather Than
sell the i'IRee at Price
Oaered for IL.

Between two modern apartment
houses, in West Ninety-third street.
New York. iour-story and basement
red brick house owned by Russell Sage,
has been devastated by vandals.
The house is an eyesore To the street.
For years it has been unoccupied. Not
a window in the house is whole. The
woodwork on the outside lacks paint
and is chall-marked by children who
romp about the abandoned house. On
the panel of the once tiEe-grained oak
doors is marked in great chalk letters
the word silence"
For Years this house has been known
as Russell Sage's Mhim." Liberal
offers have been made for the purchase
Of the property, but he has refused them
all. He set a price which real estate
dealers will not meet. and rather than
back down" Mr. Sage permits the house
10 be dismantled by thieves. There is a
great lock and chain on the basement
door and the front door is locked and
barred. Adjoining the house is a one
story extension, over which an agile
person could climb and gain access to
the house.
Mr.. Sage bought the property In 1898
under a foreclosure sale from DR. Hay
wood, who occupied IT, II was used for
a short time as kindergarten school,
For months Il has been untenanted, The
lots adjoining and facing Central park
were owned by the Women's hospital,
The directors OF the hospital sold them
TO good advantage, The property to the
west of the Sage house was bought by
real estate dealers,
The Sage house was built ten years
ago, and was fitted with all the improve
ments of that time and was Kept up &c
date in improvements. Now II is

the vandals began to attack the hous
an offer was made 70 Mr.. Sage for rental

Not content with removing stuff q

COFFIN READY FORTY YEARS.
Pennsylvania Man to He Buried in
Casket Which lie Made Himself
Four Decades Ago.

Forty years ago Philip Altland. Of
York. Pa, then young man living in
the village of New Salem, constructed
his own coffin. The other morning
he died at his home in the village and
he was buried In the coffin which has
been waiting for him all these years.
1t was made Of hard. polished wood
which Altland procured In Philadel-
phia, and is Of pattern such as was
in use during the civil war. 1t is
strangely unlike those used at the
present day, being less ornamental and
showed the effects of time. though Alt
land frequently made repairs to it and
repainied 1t.
New Salem being at a distance from
the railway. funerals have often been
delayed because of difficulty in prompt.
ly securing coffins. Altland. who had
once worked at the cabinet-makint
trade. resolved to be provided foI
when death came.

SANDALS Fer THE NER YES.
English NobIemau. Who Once Wore
Trousers. Says the Feet Need
Plenty of Fresh Air.

When Lady Constance Mckenzie was
last in America she not only wore trout
sers as she rode horseback, but in cold
weather and warm she wore sandals
for walking in the country. They were
the real Greek article, without heels.
The Independent Scotch woman wore
stout brown or gray hand-knit stock
ings with them.
At first her American friends merely
ieered al the sandals Is an attec;atinn,
but Lady Constance, though decidedly
original, is not a scnsatiOnalist. When
she explained TO few OF her high
heeled woman friends the advantage
of sandalwearing as a cure for nerves
she was listened to with respectful
interest. There is nothing so soothing
and Strengthening, she declared, as
giving your feet plenty of air and
walking flat-footed.
This summer, very quietly in the
country home, more than one nervous
wreck is irving the sandal -elt4+fee-ttaaifft
come from England, where they ar,
worn by men and children freely il
public, and by women in the privacy
of their own lawns All the children
and some of the men wear the sandal
without hose, but the women clins
modestly to their stockings. They sa,
that they sleep better and are far les
neuralgia, and less prone to moods AM
more fit in digestion since giving thei
feet a chance to breathe and move Il
the natural way.
